Chapter 340: He Wants to Keep Pace With Her

Bai Wei did not find it strange that the Fusang People had explosives in their hands.

Explosives were not her exclusive patent, and the production technology was not complicated; it was just that the scientific level of the ancients was too backward, which was why they did not know the method for making explosives.

What she found strange was why the Fusang People had suddenly become "smart" all at once, knowing the method for making explosives.

According to Xiao Moting, the Fusang People's level of technology and knowledge was very backward, and their military strength was also poor; they had attacked Shenzhou several times, only to be beaten to a pulp.

A strange thought suddenly popped into Bai Wei's mind.

Since she could come to ancient times, perhaps others could too.

Perhaps, on the side of the Fusang People, there was also a "transmigrator."

Of course, this was all just her speculation.

If there really were a transmigrator like herself on the side of the Fusang Kingdom who could transport all kinds of supplies and weapons back to ancient times, then given the nature of these Fusang People, they would have long since invaded the land of Shenzhou on a large scale; they would not have needed to wait until now and go through the trouble of smelting iron.

Since they were going to scout the Fusang People's encampment at night, Bai Wei took the Drone out of the Warehouse in advance and placed it on the ground.

"These few Drones are the most advanced ones I bought."

"There is a camera on it that can record video, so we will be able to see the situation of the Fusang People when the time comes."

"Qin Zhan, you have used a Drone before; you and Xiao Lujing take one first and find a quiet place to practice, so as to avoid mistakes tonight."

Qin Zhan immediately cupped his hands in a salute and carried a Drone up from the ground.

"Bai, I will take it behind the inn to fly it."

"I checked just now; it is relatively quiet near this inn, and the surrounding residents have all moved away, so not many people will see."

Bai Wei nodded.

She was not worried about anyone seeing it; even if the people of Daliang saw it, they would not know what a Drone was and would just think it was a "big bird."

The only thing she was worried about now was the Fusang People.

Among this group of Fusang People, was there really an "outlander" like herself?

If there were, then there would be trouble.

Once Qin Zhan and the others left, Xiao Moting immediately turned around and looked at Bai Wei.

"Bai, since the Fusang People can smelt iron and also know how to use Saltpeter to make Heavenly Thunder, I suspect that perhaps there is someone among them..."

"You don't need to say it; my thoughts are the same as yours," Bai Wei interrupted.

She took out the Phoenix Jade Pendant she carried with her and rubbed it in her palm.

"Perhaps I am not the only modern person who can come to Daliang."

"If others also have such a Jade Pendant, perhaps they can come too."

Xiao Moting's sword-like brows arched slightly.

A trace of fierce killing intent flashed through his beautiful star-like eyes.

"If there is also a god helping them on the side of the Fusang People, then their god cannot be left alive."

Bai Wei looked up in surprise, her heart trembling.

Usually, Xiao Moting appeared as a shy young man in front of her, looking somewhat green.

But now, a bloodthirsty killing intent radiated from his very bones, and his gaze had become as sharp as a blade.

"Xiao Moting, are you going to kill the god on the side of the Fusang People?"

"Yes," Xiao Moting nodded without hesitation.

He knew Bai Wei's abilities, so he harbored murderous intent toward the god of the Fusang People.

Bai Wei could turn a Beijiang Army that was on the verge of extinction into a powerful, invincible army in less than a year.

If the Fusang People also had the same kind of "god," it would be a good thing for Fusang, but for the Daliang Kingdom, and even for every country on Shenzhou, it would be a massive catastrophe.

If both sides had gods who could send all kinds of powerful weapons and advanced technology from the world of the gods, once both sides went to war, the damage caused by these weapons would be enormous—even more harmful than cold weapon warfare—and would claim countless lives.

Therefore, he absolutely would not allow another "god" to appear among the enemy.

After Xiao Moting finished speaking, he apologized to Bai Wei again.

"Bai, perhaps you think I have selfish motives."

"But no matter what, as long as a god appears among the Fusang People, I will kill him by any means necessary."

Bai Wei looked at Xiao Moting, seeing the cold chill flickering in those dark, bright eyes, like light dancing on a sharp sword.

The man before her radiated a powerful, oppressive aura that was truly intimidating.

Even Bai Wei could not help but get goosebumps, her back feeling cold.

At this moment, she finally understood that this was the true face of Xiao Moting—the real Beijiang War God!

Xiao Moting's good temper and his obedience to her only existed when he was in front of her.

But once he reached the battlefield, he was the "Prince of Zhenbei" who made people tremble with fear and could slaughter countless enemy troops without changing his expression.

Bai Wei came back to her senses and coughed once.

"Xiao Moting, this is just our speculation; perhaps there is another situation on the side of the Fusang People. We will make plans after we scout the situation tonight."

"We need to scout the military situation tonight, so have the soldiers go rest quickly."

Everyone had not slept well on this journey and needed to conserve their energy.

After Bai Wei finished speaking, she turned to leave, intending to go see Qin Zhan and the others practice with the Drone.

But just as she took a step, her wrist was pulled.

Bai Wei turned around and saw Xiao Moting holding her hand, looking at her with some nervousness.

"Bai, just now... I didn't scare you just now, did I?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be so fierce in front of you; I just..."

His gaze was earnest, completely different from the murderous appearance he had just moments ago.

Bai Wei was stunned, and then she let out a laugh.

"Xiao Moting, why should I be afraid of you? The Beijiang Army is all supported by me; should I be afraid that you have ulterior motives toward me?"

Seeing her smile, Xiao Moting finally breathed a sigh of relief and also curled the corners of his lips.

"What if I said, I really do want to have ulterior motives toward you?"

"Xiao Moting, when did you learn to be such a smooth talker?" Bai Wei was truly surprised this time, looking Xiao Moting up and down, "I remember, you weren't like this before."

The Xiao Moting of the past was a thin-skinned young general who would get red ears just from looking at her a couple of extra times.

And yet now, he actually wanted to have "ulterior motives" toward her.

This man's courage was truly growing larger and larger.

Xiao Moting smiled and reached out to pull Bai Wei into his arms.

These words were all things he had learned from the materials Bai Wei had sent over via Teleportation.

He liked Bai Wei, but he had always been very humble, always afraid that he was not good enough for her.

Xiao Moting knew that the two of them were people from different worlds, and the ideologies of the two worlds were also different.

Therefore, he wanted to work hard to catch up with Bai Wei's footsteps.

The books, videos... and other materials that Bai Wei sent over, Xiao Moting tried his best to study them all.

He read the books and watched the videos repeatedly, learning the thoughts and concepts of Bai Wei's world.

In Daliang Kingdom, men are superior and women are inferior.

Yet in her world, men and women are equal, and there are even situations where the wife has the final say.

In Daliang Kingdom, marriages between men and women are all decided by matchmakers.

But in her world, it is free love.

There are many more things like this.

Xiao Moting studied hard, trying his best to reverse the deep-rooted ancient concepts in his mind.

To like someone is to be considerate of her feelings and not make her feel embarrassed.
