The Cold Door Hero

Summary

Li Yan Qing visits a firearms workshop under the Liao Dynasty's Bureau of Gunpowder, discovering it is much larger and more complex than it appears from the outside. The workshop is led by Chen Da and Chen Er, who are producing firearms. Chen Da shows Li Yan Qing the Zhen Tian Lei shells, revealing that the Liao Dynasty is attempting to replicate them but has yet to succeed due to a lack of the correct gunpowder formula. Li Yan Qing realizes the significance of this development, as it could have changed the outcome of recent conflicts. They discuss the production of Zhen Tian Lei, with plans to create a hundred by the next day. Meanwhile, Yue Fei, tasked with capturing Jin spies, receives a tip about suspicious activity at an inn. He and Wang Gui lead a successful operation, capturing two spies and rewarding the innkeeper. As night falls, the Song army prepares their defenses against a potential Jin attack. Li Yan Qing and Zong Ze discuss the situation, considering the implications of a full-scale war and the recent capture of spies, before preparing for the upcoming battle.
