Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 136 Pei Yunqing's Secret

"But how can a fire cause an explosion?"

Pei Xu was puzzled, his voice full of doubt.

Gu Jiaorong pinched her fingers, a little conflicted about whether she should tell Pei Xu.

This matter might be related to another time traveler.

Anyone who has studied chemistry knows that air is a mixed gas. The oxygen it contains is combustible, while methane is a flammable gas. When oxygen meets methane and is combined with an open flame, an explosion will occur.

The other party took advantage of this and created this explosion.

But this raises another question: how did the other party determine that they would choose to set fire?

This person suddenly flashed in Gu Jiaorong's mind.

Could it be that there really is something wrong with Chi Zi's car?!

This time traveler must be closely related to the royal family. He is looking for his fellow countrymen in order to eliminate his opponents.

Gu Jiaorong had made up her mind, but she also became more determined not to expose herself.

"Perhaps they had set up an ambush long ago, just waiting for us to take the bait. It wouldn't be a big deal. Even if we didn't set the fire, they wouldn't lose anything."

Gu Jiaorong curled the corners of her lips and made up an excuse.

But she knew in her heart that if the other party could do it once, he would do it a second time.

If the other party killed for power and she was just implicated, it would not be a big deal. The only thing she was afraid of was that the other party knew her background.

In this case, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, which makes things difficult.

Thinking of this, Gu Jiaorong couldn't help but sigh.

Pei Xu knew that she had a lot on her mind, and seeing that she was unwilling to tell the truth, he did not force her.

"Rong'er, don't worry. No matter what means the other party uses, I will do my best to protect you."

Pei Xu held her in his arms to give her a sense of security.

Even though I don't know how sincere these words are, Pei Xu's intention is enough at this moment.

Gu Jiaorong hugged him back, she really needed protection.

If she had known that the man was so smart, she would never have met Chi Ziche so easily and would have pretended not to know about the existence of such a time traveler.

"I believe in the prince."

She answered softly, hiding herself in his arms, but her eyes were filled with thoughts.

Although Shen Zhaohua gave Pei Xu the method of making gunpowder, which greatly improved Pei Xu's combat effectiveness, this person can create an explosion without any soldiers, so in the next game, he must have more means.

Even if Pei Xu wanted to be on guard, he might not be able to defend himself.

Gu Jiaorong couldn't help but sigh in her heart, how terrible science students are!

If she had not been very interested in chemistry and studied harder before she was assigned to a certain major in high school, she would never have thought of the principles behind it.

Pei Xu knew she was worried and must have known the cause of the explosion, but for some reason, he couldn't tell him. He didn't blame Gu Jiaorong. Everyone had secrets, and before this, he hadn't told her anything about the Firearms Battalion.

He raised his hand and patted Gu Jiaorong on the back, giving her enough sense of security.

"Don't be afraid, Rong'er. I'm here for you."

No matter how sophisticated the other party's methods are, he will not give in.

He naturally protected his wife and children with his life.

.

"Master, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince are keeping a close watch on their side, so our people can't get in. But we can confirm that an explosion did occur where they were. Our people heard it from afar when it happened."

Chi Ziche lowered his head and reported carefully.

People outside thought that the fifth prince Pei Yunqing had a good temper, but the people around him knew very well that Pei Yunqing was not as easy to talk to as he appeared to be.

Pei Yunqing's fingers were slightly bent, tapping the table from time to time.

A dull voice reached Chi Ziche's ears. He didn't need to look up to know how unhappy his master was.

And this displeasure turned into an invisible sharp blade, cutting him again and again.

Chi Ziche's legs couldn't help but go weak, but he controlled himself to stop shaking.

"Forget it, it's not your fault."

Pei Yunqing stopped tapping on the table, his voice cold and silent.

"Continue to investigate the whereabouts of Pei Xu and Gu Jiaorong. They are definitely not dead."

Pei Yunqing is not as easy to fool as Pei Yunjia and his brother. After all, they haven't even seen the body, let alone confirmed the identity.

"Yes, master."

Chi Ziche responded that he had been with his master for many years and already understood his master's temperament.

If they have no evidence, even if they killed him with their own hands, the master will not believe it.

His master possessed sufficient wisdom, but with it came suspicion.

"Also, continue investigating Gu Jiaorong's background. I don't believe she's just a little maid. If necessary, we can consider investigating her parents."

Although Pei Yunqing had only had a brief encounter with Gu Jiaorong, the words she said still lingered in his mind.

Chi Ziche didn't understand why his master cared so much about Prince Su's concubine. They had already checked before and there was nothing special about Gu Jiaorong.

But since the master said so, he couldn't refuse.

"My subordinate understands."

Chi Ziche was full of doubts, but still responded respectfully.

Pei Yunqing waved his hand and let Chi Ziche leave, but his furrowed brows remained unchanged.

He walked to the window with his hands behind his back and looked at the falling petals outside.

Now that Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, such beautiful scenery will soon disappear.

"Winter is coming, and the storms haven't stopped yet. I hope it won't be too cold when you come back."

Pei Yunqing curled his lips. He had been waiting, waiting for a real opponent to appear. Until now, he knew that the person he was waiting for had appeared.

Just as Gu Jiaorong guessed, he had never thought of looking for his own kind. Now that he had come here and he was a noble prince, his own kind could only be a stumbling block to him.

Pei Yunqing was not a confused person. He knew very well that those who were not of the same race must have different hearts. Moreover, the royal family was the most superstitious. If they knew his origins, they would kill him without mercy.

Anyone who knows his secret, even if they come from the same place as him, always holds his lifeblood in their hands.

This possibility must never happen!

Pei Yunqing has been living in seclusion these years in order to conserve his energy and wait for the opportunity. His brother wants to be emperor, and he also wants to be emperor.

He also believed that he could be a good emperor and knew how to be a good emperor.

He is well-read and has learned many lessons. He will never make the same mistakes as the tyrants in history.

If he were not the crown prince, his title was not legitimate, and his mother's family was not highly competitive, he would not have remained dormant until now.

Now his ambition is about to be revealed, and the person he has been waiting for has finally appeared.

Even if he had no evidence, he was certain that Pei Xu and Gu Jiaorong were his biggest enemies. As long as he got rid of them, he would have no worries.

Thinking of this, Pei Yunqing couldn't help but feel better.

If they were really dead, then he would have no rivals. If they were alive, it would prove that his guess was correct - Gu Jiaorong was also a time traveler.

And Pei Xu definitely has hot weapons in his hands.
