Chapter 240 The Secret of the Mountain

Xiao Mo sat in a wheelchair, holding a sword in his hand, clearing the way for Ye Jintang.

"Jintang, watch your step. Not many people walk on this mountain road. There are weeds and thorns all over the road. You will get scratched if you are not careful."

"Ah."

Ye Jintang responded casually.

The extremely perceptive Xiao Mo immediately sensed the absent-mindedness in Ye Jintang's words. He turned his head to look at her and happened to see her looking at the cave on the hillside.

Xiao Mo was very familiar with this mountain range and recognized the cave where he and Ye Jintang had been alone at a glance.

But at that time he was using Jiang Zhi, that pretty boy. I don't think Ye Jintang is still thinking about him.

Although Jiang Zhi was also him at that time, Xiao Mo was still jealous.

His face is only slightly darker than Jiang Zhi's, and he's still very handsome.

Besides, wouldn't a man with darker skin look more manly, and better than Jiang Zhi's somewhat gloomy face?

"The mountain road here is not easy to walk on. Thank you for your hard work. If we had known that there were so many weeds growing on the mountain and no one had cleaned them up, we would not have walked here."

Xiao Mo only said this, in fact, he had known for a long time that the mountain road was difficult to walk on, but in order to have more time alone with Ye Jintang, he tried his best.

"It's okay, there are just a few more weeds, but the road is in good repair."

Ye Jintang has drunk a lot of space spring water, and she is no longer the weak little girl she used to be.

Not to mention pushing Xiao Mo up the mountain road, even if she was asked to carry him up the mountain, she wouldn't frown.

The sun gradually rose, and Ye Jintang was tired, so they found a place to sit on the side of the road to enjoy the cool air, drink some water, and eat some snacks to replenish their energy.

Such a leisurely mountain climb made Ye Jintang very relaxed. She stood halfway up the mountain, feeling the mountain breeze blowing across her cheeks, and couldn't help shouting towards the mountain stream.

"Ye Jintang you are so awesome."

Xiao Mo, who was standing by, listened to the shouts echoing in the mountain stream with a smile on his face.

On weekdays, Ye Jintang always looks very calm and rarely shows such a lively personality as today.

It seems that it was a wise move to bring her to climb the mountain today.

The two walked and stopped, and talked a lot. Before they knew it, Ye Jintang even told Xiao Mo about her future plans.

When he heard that she also included him in her future life, Xiao Mo's heart was filled with joy.

He confirmed once again that she had him in her heart.

The journey would only take half an hour, and the two of them wandered slowly in the mountains. After walking for more than an hour, Xiao Mo finally saw the large stone used as a mark on the side of the road.

Ye Jintang, who was following behind him, had no idea where Xiao Mo was going to take him. She just felt that the mountain road behind was a little strange to walk on.

Logically speaking, the further you go into the mountains, the more difficult the road will be, but the road Xiao Mo led was just the opposite. After passing the most difficult section, there were much less weeds on the mountain road behind.

It feels like there are people walking around here all the time.

"My Lord, you are really capable. Let the princess push you up the mountain."

From a distance, Shi Bin saw Ye Jintang pushing Xiao Mo over.

"I'm not as cruel as you say. I can turn the wheelchair by myself."

As he spoke, Xiao Mo demonstrated to Shi Bin his unique skill of controlling the wheelchair flexibly.

Shi Bin looked at him and saw that he had almost turned his wheelchair into a Hot Wheels, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

"As expected of a prince, your kung fu is much better than our minions."

"Shi Bin, why are you on the mountain?"

Ye Jintang looked confused. Could the surprise Xiao Mo was talking about be Shi Bin?

"Your Highness is really patient. He has come all the way here, but he still hasn't told the princess what he is doing here."

Shi Bin looked at Xiao Mo with admiration. How could Ye Jintang like a taciturn person like him?

"My queen, across this forest is the camp where the prince keeps his private soldiers. I usually train my private soldiers here."

Ye Jintang was shocked. She didn't expect Xiao Mo to bring her to see the biggest trump card in his hand.

If this matter were to leak out, the entire palace would probably be buried with it.

"I just haven't had the time to tell Jintang yet. Let's go to the camp and take a look."

Shi Bin took the initiative to push Xiao Mo, but received a glare from him.

"How is the camp ready? We will set off tomorrow, and you have to break camp this afternoon."

"Everything is packed and ready to go."

"Wait, General Shi, are you going to the fiefdom with the prince too?"

Shi Bin is not a soldier under Xiao Mo. He has fought his way up to the rank of fourth-rank military officer with his own hands.

Moreover, he has a little military power in his hands. If he stays in the capital, he will definitely have a bright future. But if he follows Xiao Mo to his fiefdom, no one can say what his future will be like.

"Of course, I am the prince's cousin, so it will be right to follow the prince."

"Besides, I built this private army for the prince. I would not feel safe if I handed it over to someone else."

"My lady, I'll take you to see our thunder bomb experiment."

"Today's thunder bombs have been improved. Each one is as big as a fist. After being thrown out, the lethality will definitely be greater than that of smaller ones."

"You're quite quick. We were just studying how to increase the amount of gunpowder and improve the lethality half a month ago, and you've already made a finished product?"

Shi Bin laughed dryly and embarrassedly, "Such a powerful thunder bomb will definitely be very effective when used on the battlefield."

"I'm just in case. The Northern Di people have been eyeing us covetously. Who knows when they will rush over and bite us."

"It would be so cool if we could just drop a thunder bomb and blow them upside down."

Shi Bin pushed Xiao Mo forward while talking to Ye Jintang about their research on thunder bombs.

"When we first started the experiment, the Thunderbolt bomb workshop exploded countless times, and several craftsmen were even injured. Even so, we didn't stop. This is the first time we have produced a finished product, and we don't know how it will turn out."

"In fact, everyone is looking forward to going to Ningchuan Prefecture as soon as possible. The country is far away and we don't have to hide. We can study the Thunderbolt Bomb openly."

As soon as Shi Bin finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and slapped himself hard on the arm.

"We hid in the mountains to train and make weapons. Our lives were almost the same as those of the savages."

"There are a lot of mosquitoes in the mountains, and they are very big. If you get bitten, you will immediately get a painful and itchy bump."

Ye Jintang turned his head to look at Shi Bin's arm. A mosquito that was full of blood was slapped to death by Shi Bin. In less than two breaths, a red bump appeared on his arm.

"Hey, why don't mosquitoes bite the queen?"

Only then did Shi Bin realize that neither Xiao Mo nor Ye Jintang attracted mosquitoes, but he was the only one who was constantly attacked by mosquitoes.

"Because I have this on me."

Ye Jintang pointed to the two sachets hanging on his belt and said, "There are herbs inside to repel mosquitoes. As long as mosquitoes smell the scent, they will stay away."

"this is for you."

Ye Jintang tied four of them to Xiao Mo's wheelchair, then untied one and handed it to Shi Bin.
