Chapter 1247 - 392: Foreign Spies, Tear Them Apart_3
"Two days off? That’s fantastic!" Mo Yan’s eyes lit up with excitement, completely oblivious to the inappropriateness of her focus, "How long is the holiday? My dad is planning to take us out for a trip after the wedding. If your break is long enough, we could go together."
Go together?
Xiao Ruiyuan’s thoughts stirred, and he found himself looking forward to the trip, "Then let’s go together." If the holiday wasn’t sufficient, he would find a way to extend it; this feeling of shirking work seemed quite pleasant.
"Oh, right, you mentioned that you had results regarding that matter, what exactly is going on? What is that patch?" Mo Yan, unaware of the man’s thoughts, finally brought her focus back on track.
On Mid-Autumn Festival, Little Flower had found a strange patch on the back hill of the Imperial Palace and handed it over to Mo Yan. Mo Yan had felt that something was amiss right away and passed the patch to Xiao Ruiyuan. Xiao Ruiyuan’s unusual reaction let Mo Yan know that the implications of this patch were beyond what even her wildest imagination could conjure.
A flash of ruthlessness passed through Xiao Ruiyuan’s eyes, his deep voice betraying a trace of loathing, "Previously, The Emperor secretly found a group of skilled craftsmen and arranged for them to covertly research gunpowder in the back hills of the Imperial Palace. Aside from a few of The Emperor’s confidants, my cousin and I, no one else knew about this."
Mo Yan nodded; she was aware of this affair, and it seemed that the iron patch was related to gunpowder.
