In the evening, at the East Palace of the Crown Prince.

As Qian Wenvwen was already injured and weak, she fainted after taking medicine upon being brought back to the East Palace by Qin Li.

Qin Li was worried about his health and arranged for several maids to attend to him personally.

After making arrangements for Qian Wenwen, Qin Li returned to his study to deal with the memorials received today.

and at this time.

Outside the hall, Feng Bao hurried over and bowed to Qin Li.

"Your Highness, three messages have arrived from Taicang Academy."

Taicang Academy

Once again, it's Taicang Academy!

These days, whether it's in the court, at the old emperor's place, or even at the chancellor's mansion, the four words "Taicang Academy" appear with extreme frequency!

It's impossible to ignore!

When Qin Li heard this, he raised his head, frowned slightly, and casually placed the folded paper in his hand aside.

Well, what is it

Feng Bao stepped forward, his face grave, facing Qin Li.

"The first thing, after the imperial court announced the imperial examination, Tai Cang Academy seemed to have a great hostility toward it. Not only did it belittle the imperial examinations, but it also ordered all students of Tai Cang Academy not to be allowed to participate in the examinations!"

Upon hearing this, Qin frowned slightly.

Since ancient times, the Qin Dynasty has always implemented a system of recommendations and examinations. When implementing the imperial examination system, Emperor Qin also predicted that it would inevitably encounter some obstacles!

But Qin Li didn't expect that he had just resolved the issue with the court officials.

And now, Tai Cang Academy even dares to be the first to resist the imperial examination!

One academy dares to oppose the imperial court

That's asking for death!

A flash of cold light passed through Qin Li's eyes.

But there wasn't any indication.

He turned his head to look at Feng Bao.

"What about the second one"

Feng Bao leaned forward slightly.

"The second thing is, the brothers of Yinlongwei took advantage of the opportunity to collect feces water and sneaked into Taicang Academy. Unexpectedly, they discovered that in the deepest part of the academy, there was a specially built house with heavy guards outside."

"The Hidden Dragon Guard's brother found an excuse to sneak a peek, and discovered that it was filled with all kinds of ores, and there were also various sizes of alchemy furnaces."

Inside, many people were busy non-stop, hammering against stones, then tossing various stones into the alchemy furnace to burn incessantly!

When it comes to smelting iron, these people are no good. They just forge stones, and what use are stones anyway

These people's behavior was rather strange, but Yinlongwei's brothers had never seen them do anything specific, nor could they tell what they were doing.

At this moment, Feng Baodun paused, glancing at Qin Li in front of him.

Qín Lìzhèng was intently listening, his expression focused.

And he continued to speak.

"And there's another strange thing, the night before last, a huge thunderclap suddenly echoed through the academy. Many buildings in the academy collapsed, and dozens of students studying inside were killed or injured."

"The Hidden Dragon Guard's brother felt something was amiss, so he ventured back to take another look. He discovered that the building in the deepest part of the academy where ore and alchemy furnaces were once kept had been razed to the ground."

Hearing this, Qin Li immediately thought of something.

A pair of eyes flashed with a sudden cold light!

He turned his head and looked at Fengbao.

"Thunder"

Facing Qin Li's gaze, Feng Bao instantly felt a chill run down his spine. He lowered his head for a few moments and nodded slightly towards Qin Li.

"Yes, it's strange to say, but that day was sunny and there were no signs of rain. However, we inexplicably encountered a thunderstorm."

According to the recollections of his brother, when Thunderclap exploded, the entire academy grounds trembled, and the surrounding houses shook violently in the storm.

Regarding this matter, there are many different opinions. Some say it was man-made, some say it was a research project by the Tai Cang Academy itself, and others say it was divine retribution.

Later on, for some unknown reason, the academy suddenly issued a gag order, forbidding anyone from spreading word of this!

Hearing this, Qin Li's face grew even darker!

What is that sound of thunder

That must have been different types of ore mixed together, causing an explosion!

It was precisely because of this explosion that gunpowder was developed into its final form!

You guessed it!

This is indeed where the Taicang Academy is refining gunpowder for King Qi!

And judging by the current situation.

This gunpowder refining seems to be about to succeed!

In this era of cold weapons, if gunpowder is successfully developed and equipped to the army.

That would be like mastering a world-shattering weapon!

Instantaneous dominance!

Nobody is beyond reproach!lly harming the sprite race.Kai Yan Tianzun sneered: “Who knows if what you say is true or false.”Fang Chen smiled and said, "This is my word. Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter, because now...
