Feng Zhenzhu's eyes gradually widened into a pair of copper bells.

"What did you say? Steal..."

Cui Lingyi quickly covered his mouth.

"Don't shout. If you agree, we can issue a reward and find this person to help us."

In her previous life, she had heard of a man named Golden Hand Thief in the underworld.

Every once in a while, he would visit the palaces of the major royal families and take things out.

At first, all the royal families were very wary of him and sent many people to capture him, but to no avail.

Later they found out that he was just stealing valuable stuff and didn't do anything else, so they just let him go.

She felt that if she could find this person, she would be able to steal the meteorite.

"You are crazy!"

After listening to her, Feng Zhenzhu stared at Cui Lingyi in surprise, "Why didn't I realize you were so brave before?"

Cui Lingyi also stared.

"I just see that you are so anxious that you have no other solution. Or do you have any other solution?"

Feng Zhenzhu froze.

"I really can't think of anything!"

Cui Lingyi curled the corners of her lips.

"That's right. If you can't think of a way, you can't get the meteorite. If you can't get the meteorite, you can't make a scalpel. Without a scalpel, how can you save your brother? Didn't you agree with your parents that it would take three years? It's been two years now. If you can't do it..."

Feng Zhenzhu rolled her eyes, "Why are you still using tongue twisters when you speak?"

"What is a tongue twister?" Cui Lingyi asked when she didn't understand, and she thought the word was very interesting.

Feng Zhenzhu was completely exhausted.

He lowered his head and remained silent.

Yes, she agreed on a three-year period with her original body’s parents.

If she cannot bring the scalpel made of meteorite to save her brother within three years.

Maybe the parents will find their way to Beijing.

Before, the parents thought she was a fairy who could do anything.

But three years later, she still had no results.

The halo of a mysterious identity might lose its effect.

Given the amount of doting the biological parents have on their son, it’s hard to say what the child will do.

And she couldn't do anything to the parents.

In any case, she used her original body.

It is our responsibility to take care of them and fulfill their wishes.

Cui Lingyi was still talking.

"After much thought, this is the best method."

"Anyway, after that thing turns into a scalpel, who can recognize it? Who will know it was us who did it?"

Feng Zhenzhu thought for a moment and said, "We can give this method a try, but we still have to go to Northern Xinjiang."

"Do you want to do two things at once?" Cui Lingyi asked.

"Yes, just like you said, Emperor Wen will not use meteorites as rewards. But if I save the people of Northern Frontier, it will be a great achievement. If the matter is exposed in the future, there will be some room for maneuver."

Hearing this, Cui Lingyi nodded.

"That's true... No..." She suddenly came to her senses, "Then you can't go to Northern Xinjiang either!"

Feng Zhenzhu seemed not to hear her words. She frowned and seemed to be thinking about something.

Cui Lingyi knew that she had a lot of tricks up her sleeve, so she didn't disturb him and just drank tea and waited quietly.

After a long time, Feng Zhenzhu suddenly clapped her hands.

"Have it!"

"What's the matter?" Cui Lingyi asked quickly.

Feng Zhenzhu excitedly stepped forward and held her hand tightly.

"Ali, I suddenly thought of a way. If it works, we probably won't need to steal meteorites anymore."

Cui Lingyi was surprised.

"What method can make Emperor Wen give up the meteorite?"

Feng Zhenzhu pursed her lips and lowered her voice.

"Ah Li, if I say I can create a peerless weapon, would you believe me?"

"What peerless weapon?"

"If this thing comes out, it can make all the countries surrender in a minute, and the person who possesses it can easily unify the world..."

"There is such a thing? What is it made of?"

"It's called gunpowder. Ah Li, do you believe that I have the ability to make this thing?"

"Of course, if you say it, you can definitely do it!"

"Okay, Ah Li really deserves to be my good sister."

Feng Zhenzhu explained the production method and function of gunpowder, but Cui Lingyi felt numb before she finished listening.

"Sister Pearl, this thing is so terrible that I believe Emperor Wen would be willing to exchange it for a meteorite. However, once this thing is made, it will surely cause harm for thousands of years."

Feng Zhenzhu nodded.

"Ali's concerns are correct. But have you ever thought about why the northerners frequently bully Dajing and repeatedly occupy the northern border?"

Cui Lingyi thought about it.

"Of course the northerners are powerful. They are tough and brave, and both the military and civilians are good at fighting. They have the ability to go south."

"Yes." Feng Zhenzhu nodded, "What will happen if we change the situation and Dajing becomes stronger than them?"

Cui Lingyi frowned, "The northerners will naturally not act rashly. Even if they want to occupy Dajing, they have to think twice."

At this point, she suddenly understood and answered quickly,

"So, Sister Pearl's idea is to arm Dajing with gunpowder, making Dajing stronger than the Northern Kingdom and other countries. In this way, the other countries will naturally surrender and dare not attack. In this way, a delicate balance will be formed in the world, and the people will live in peace from then on."

"That's right." Feng Zhenzhu pinched her face and said excitedly, "Our Ah Li really understands things very quickly."

Cui Lingyi pursed her lips and took her hand away.

"Have you ever thought about this: What if Emperor Wen wants to destroy all the nations and unify the world? Wouldn't the people still be the ones who suffer then?"

“This…” Feng Zhenzhu was stunned for a moment.

To be honest, she hadn't thought about it.

She has lived in a peaceful country and in peacetime since she was a child, so her thinking is basically peaceful as well.

At most, it is for self-protection and self-development.

This is true for individuals and it is true for countries.

If a country wants to avoid being invaded by other countries, it naturally needs to maintain its military strength far ahead.

But she ignored the world she lived in.

Here, imperial power and military force are supreme.

It is hard to imagine that after obtaining such lethal weapons, some people would still be conservative and focus on their own little piece of land.

She hesitated.

"I heard that Emperor Wen is loyal, kind, and considerate of the people. He would not do such a thing. By then, Dajing will have gunpowder in hand and make the other countries submit. Isn't that also a form of unification?"

"It's hard to say." Cui Lingyi curled her lips when she heard that.

In her previous life, she lived with Shen Du for three years.

I have heard something about His Majesty today.

All I can say is that some people are able to do things in a stable and stable manner and be praised by the world.

It can be seen from the way Emperor Wen dealt with the Prince of Yan that although this Majesty appears weak, his methods are not soft at all.

It is the applause that truly controls people's hearts.

Normally speaking, if Prince Yan rebelled, his entire family should be executed.

But he sent the Prince of Yan into exile and allowed the Princess of Yan to divorce with her posthumous child.

On the surface, he let his brother off.

But in fact, it served to appease the forces of Prince Yan.

Moreover, didn’t the Prince of Yan die inexplicably just a few days after being exiled?

Cui Lingyi even felt that if the Princess of Yan was pregnant with a daughter, she might be able to survive and grow up safely.

If it is really a son...
