Chapter 223: Duel Between Two Transmigrators

The little soldier smirked when he saw the contents on the paper. “It’s just someone who came from the same world as I. He seems capable enough, but there’s no need for you to worry, I will help you to the best of my abilities. Just remember to fulfill your side of the deal.”

“Of course I will. It’s just that this formula…”

“It’s fake, but also real at the same time. Some of the ingredients have been removed, but it can still explode. However, the gunpowder has become very volatile and will go off easily as a result.”

“Then how can we make this into a better weapon?”

“It depends on how many people you are willing to let me borrow for research. Some sacrifice is needed to win the war.”

“Take as many people as you need as long as you succeed.”

“Alright. You’re Chen Tao right? Since you’ve used this formula before, you will be in charge of the research!” The soldier crumbled the paper into a ball and threw it onto the floor. His face was filled with confidence and arrogance. Chen Tao gritted his teeth. He never thought that he’d be commanded by a low-ranked soldier when he decided to defect to their side. Unfortunately, Commander Lu seemed to trust that soldier a lot and allowed him to take Chen Tao away.

Chen Tao slowly came to realize that the low-ranked soldier was actually a woman! She wasn’t very beautiful, but still atypical nonetheless. She sacrificed life after life to find the perfect ratio of ingredients to manufacture gunpowder. The gunpowder exploded prematurely if the ratio wasn’t perfect, killing the workers that were manufacturing it. She would only look very disappointed and coldly say, “Go get me two more people with steady hands. We shall start again.”

Chen Tao was speechless. This woman was even more manly and cruel than most other men. Worse still, she actually visited Commander Lu’s tent on her own accord! She exited the camp only after the two was done with their business together. She beckoned Chen Tao over with her finger when she saw him on her way back. “Come with me. I wish to know more about that woman.”

Chen Tao frowned. “I don’t think that’s a good idea!”

If would’ve been fine if she was a man, but unfortunately she wasn’t. She didn’t seem to mind though. She replied as though she couldn’t care less. “It’s not like I will eat you! Just come in!”

Chen Tao had no choice but to enter her tent. She took off her headpiece and revealed long, luscious hair with varying length. She perched jauntily on a chair, “Tell me about that woman.”

Chen Tao could feel his throat constrict. Even though she wasn’t a stunning beauty and was already more than twenty five years old, she exuded elegance and had truly youthful. Most skin importantly, she had a kind of alluring charm which no woman in this world possessed. But since she was the commander’s woman, he had no choice but to bury his desires and tell her everything he knew about Bai Xiangxiu.

After he was done, the woman suddenly swiped her slightly curled hair and laughed. “I see. So only her soul transmigrated here. She sounds like a woman without her own opinions. Shouldn’t be that difficult to deal with. So what if she has watched Water Margin before and has a bit of knowledge about gunpowder. Why would I be afraid of her?”

Commander Lu suddenly entered the tent while they were in the middle of their talk. Chen Tao immediately stood up and greeted him, “General.” Commander Lu wasn’t just a general, he was also a prince. Life would be difficult if Chen Tao ever so slightly offended him.

“Get out.” It was quite obvious that this general was jealous. Chen Tao had no choice but to leave. He knew very well that this was a woman he couldn’t afford to offend. Belittling her would be a grave mistake after Bai Xiangxiu had taught him a lesson. However, he did hear things that he shouldn’t have heard. He was thoroughly shocked by her boldness.
