The Widowed Mother, a Valiant General

Seeing the excited expression of the little girl kneeling on his thigh, Yu Mingchuan smirked.

"Are you guessing my plan? And have you guessed what it was? "

Lu Qing lay on Yu Mingchuan's shoulder like a small bird, looking up at him.

"I guess you're going to sneak attack Dunhuang and steal their food."

A trace of astonishment finally appeared on Yu Mingchuan's face. This little girl had already guessed his plan. Where did he get his intention from?

"I want to go too!"

Lu Qing climbed up the stairs again. Recently, she had been training every day and her strength had increased by a lot. Naturally, her movements were much more nimble than before.

Therefore, her hands were itchy.

"This trip is dangerous, you …"

"If I were to tell you that I can take away their food without any bloodshed, would you let me go?"

"Oh?" Yu Mingchuan once again revealed a surprised expression.

"I can make a fire that can burn in the snow. As long as I burn a circle around their camp, no one will escape." Lu Qing imitated Yu Mingchuan's movements and narrowed his eyes, looking as if he were about to ascend into the heavens.

"Phosphorous fire?"

"No, it's really a fire that can burn anything, even on water!"

Lu Qing climbed up again and stood on the same level as Yu Mingchuan.

Yu Mingchuan stared fixedly at Lu Qing. This girl was too caught off guard, what exactly was going on inside her head? Who was she? A deity? Demons?

"Can you do it?" Lu Qing was somewhat anxious. She had already wrapped a leg around Yu Mingchuan's waist to keep a level with him. If she didn't respond soon, she would have fallen.

It was a deep kiss.

Lu Qing felt a little dizzy. If it wasn't for Yu Mingchuan holding her head, she would have definitely slipped into the water.

Completely relaxed, Lu Qing floated in the water. One of his feet started to float upwards. Lu Qing was greatly alarmed and quickly stomped down. It was strange to touch, but that was …

Yu Mingchuan's face was twisted with pain, while Lu Qing's entire body turned red like a shrimp.

He hurriedly climbed out of the bath barrel and cleaned himself. After that, Lu Qing hurriedly crawled into bed and grabbed a blanket to cover his head.

Even if it was just a day meeting, but something like this … This was too embarrassing!

After a long time, he finally saw Yu Mingchuan come over.

A gust of wind blew the quilt away and Lu Qing was instantly hugged tightly by Yu Mingchuan. It was more important than usual, as if he wanted to crush her with his ruthlessness.

"Stay close to me on that day, don't run around."

Lu Qing hurriedly nodded his head, but that warm breath of his didn't leave her ear. Instead, it fell upon her ear, bit by bit, and began to gnaw on it.

A burst of uncontrollable trembling caused Lu Qing to be extremely embarrassed. This fellow's ability to not get close to women was fake, and right now, even though he was emotionally aroused, he was still a little brat that hadn't developed well yet.

If this continued, she would definitely break down early. She didn't want to give birth so early …

The more worried she became, the more worried she became. A large hand lifted up her robe, and Luqing quickly curled himself into a ball, doing his utmost to prevent that hand from touching the most sensitive part of her body.

Fortunately, he saw how hard she was dodging, so he did not continue with his hand.

Lu Qing didn't dare to sleep in Yu Mingchuan's embrace, afraid that he would actually take her down.

With the same blanket, if there was a gap in the middle, it would naturally be cold. However, it didn't take long for her already cold back to touch a hot chest.

"Don't be afraid, I won't touch you anymore."

Yu Mingchuan had already relaxed into his usual self. Lu Qing relaxed, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep in his embrace.

The next day, Lu Qing did not sleep. Instead, he woke up early and dragged Yu Mingchuan with him to the smelly puddles on the east side of the lake.

The smell was not for any other reason but because there was natural oil there. A black patch of it floated in a few puddles, and no one wanted to get close to it.

When Lu Qing was still digging mushrooms, he ran over there and was stopped by a few soldiers from the farmlands. They said that the food there couldn't be eaten and was tainted by that stinky stuff.

How could they have known that this was the first oil field in our country, and this oil field was comparable to gold.

Unfortunately, people nowadays couldn't use it. At most, some people would fish it up to make lamp oil, but they found out that burning the ashes could make the house blackened, and the black ash could even get into their noses and mouths, thus they didn't dare use it again.

However, as a chemical worker, although he couldn't make full use of the oil, he could still deal with it easily. As long as he refined it a little, he would have the oil brain to play with.

An oil brain was definitely a killing machine in this era. As long as Yu Mingchuan was willing, he could use this thing to conquer the world.

Unfortunately, the output of the open air was too little, and they did not have the ability to mine oil on a large scale. Thus, using it to protect themselves and scare people off was first-rate.

Therefore, the first thing she did was to use her "Heaven Flame" to play with the Dunhuang Garrison.

A few of the janissaries used large barrels of crude oil to scrape away what they called stone paint. Normally, no one would touch it. When it came into their hands, it would be difficult to wash it.

Lu Qing had especially told Yu Mingchuan that this item must be kept a secret, and must not be leaked out in the slightest. Otherwise, they would be in a miserable state.

After listening to Lu Qing's detailed description, Yu Mingchuan naturally knew how powerful this thing was. He had long since given his personal guards a death order. As long as he leaked any information, they would be killed without pardon.

These barrels of crude oil were secretly delivered to the Lieutenant's Manor and placed in the most innermost abandoned warehouse.

Luqing also drew a blueprint for the two blacksmiths to find a way to hoop a copper barrel.

This matter was handled by Fang Jiming. He didn't let the two blacksmiths know much, but based on the map, he got a suitable copper skin and learned how to use the cask from the blacksmith.

It took him three days to get a decent distillation unit.

During the day, they still trained as usual, but that night, none of them slept. All of them gathered in the backyard of the Lieutenant's Mansion.

In the warehouse, they set up a stove, filled a large copper pot with stone paint, and set it on fire.

The top of the large copper pot was sealed off, with only a long copper tube connected to it. It was several meters long and slightly tilted downwards.

All he saw was Lu Qing adjusting the size of the charcoal and observing the oil-like substance that was flowing out of the copper pipe.

After steaming for four hours, they obtained two jars of clear "oil".

Lu Qing used a small spoon to scoop some of this clear oil onto the remaining snow outside the courtyard. Then, he picked up a burning stick and threw it onto the snow. With a 'boom', the snow started to burn.

Over time.

Everyone looked as if they had seen a ghost. The snow turned into water, and the water was also burning fiercely. It was only after all the water had disappeared that the fire was extinguished.

Lu Qing was elated. He carefully commanded his personal guards to place these two jars of oil in the yard in front of him. He absolutely couldn't touch any sparks.
