Because of the sudden explosion, Bai Ruozhu could not rest peacefully. He could only wait in the room for the men sent out, while listening to the discussions of the guests downstairs in the inn.

"Oh, sir, don't worry. The county magistrate just said that it wasn't an earth dragon turning over, but an explosion in Beishan. The officials went to check it out. There will definitely be news soon." The boy told the plan Said the guest who checked out.

The guest was a little hesitant after hearing this. After all, traveling in the middle of the night was risky.

"Really? How can it be that there is such a big movement but the earth dragon turns over?"

"Otherwise, don't rush to check out, go out and ask around. I don't dare to fool you about this kind of thing, but it is definitely not an earth dragon turning over. Otherwise, will our house be okay?" The young man is very articulate and can't speak clearly. Everyone felt a little more at ease.

At this moment, there was another bang in the distance, and the ground shook again, but it was obviously not as terrifying as the previous time.

But even so, there were still people panicking downstairs, running outside as hard as they could, shouting: "The earth dragon has turned over again, run quickly!"

Bai Ruozhu's mouth twitched. People at this time didn't know much about earthquakes. If there was an earthquake, something would happen if they were running around like this.

But why did it explode again? The people she sent will not be affected, right?

Just when Bai Ruozhu was worried, Jian Qi's voice came from outside, "Master, our people just sent back a signal to say it's okay."

Bai Ruozhu breathed a sigh of relief, "Tell me as soon as you have any news."

It was not until midnight that the people sent finally came back.

"Reporting to the master, the collapse on the Beishan side was severe. Before we could figure out what was going on, the government officials arrived. We had to hide temporarily and wait for them to dig and investigate. There was another explosion on the way, and two people The official was slightly injured, but it was not fatal. But the digging was in vain, and it was not convenient for us to show up, so we could only observe in secret. Later, the official stopped digging. "

The secret guard lowered his head as he spoke, "Although I haven't completely figured it out, I think it must be man-made."

"Oh? What made you feel like this?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

"I heard from the yamen that kerosene was found in Beishan before. Maybe it was the explosion of kerosene below, but how could good kerosene explode? And I could vaguely smell the smell of gunpowder. I have always had a keen sense of smell. I don't think so. There's something wrong." The secret guard said again.

The kerosene in his mouth refers to the kind of unrefined petroleum that will burn when exposed to fire, and may even explode when burned in a sealed manner. However, this situation must occur naturally and is extremely rare.

Is there any shady secret hidden under Beishan?

Bai Ruozhu narrowed her eyes, but soon she asked: "Will the way back be affected?"

"Has little effect."

"Okay, we'll set off at dawn tomorrow morning." Bai Ruozhu said decisively.

Jian Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief beside him. He also felt that something was unusual, so he was worried about Bai Ruozhu going to find out. But they didn't take many people with them this time. What if the matter was not found out and he was in trouble? ?

This is what Bai Ruozhu has considered. If such a large explosion was deliberately caused by someone, then this person's strength cannot be underestimated. Why should she go to swim in this muddy water? The local magistrate must be responsible for investigating this matter. If it doesn't work, the emperor will worry about it. Is it right for her to meddle in other people's business?

So early the next morning, a group of people left the inn and left the city. However, they were stopped at the city gate. Fortunately, Bai Ruozhu brought the token to enter the palace and the identity card of his female doctor at any time, so the official let her go out of the city.

Not long after Bai Ruozhu and his party left, they saw a large number of soldiers heading in the direction of the explosion.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, soldiers were guarding her again and Bai Ruozhu's ID was checked again before she was allowed to pass.

With a no-nonsense attitude, Bai Ruozhu led the people through Beishan and quickly left the area.

On the way to the third day, Bai Ruozhu met Jiang Yichun who came to pick her up.

"Are you tired from running here? There are only a few steps left, why did you come to pick me up?" She complained, but she felt sweet in her heart.

"I heard there was a big explosion in Beishan. I was worried so I wanted to find it along the official road. I didn't expect you to handle the matter so quickly." Jiang Yichun said and stepped forward to hold her hand.

It was broad daylight, and there were a group of guards behind her. Bai Ruozhu stared and tried to avoid them, but he grabbed her hand reluctantly.

"As long as you're okay, I've been worried to death all this time." He whispered.

Bai Ruozhu was so warmed up by his behavior that she couldn't bear to move her hand away, so she simply let him hold her.

On the way back, Bai Ruozhu told Jiang Yichun what the secret guard had discovered. His face darkened, and he thought for a moment and said: "I have already taken leave of absence, and the emperor has left this matter to others to investigate, so I'd better leave it alone. "

Bai Ruozhu laughed, "Yes, the earth will turn around no matter who it is. We'd better not take care of ourselves and let others do the work."

"Earth?" Jiang Yichun suddenly asked.

Bai Ruozhu choked, well, this explanation is complicated...

When the two of them got home, Xiao Dengdeng was so excited that she hugged Bai Ruozhu and kissed and rubbed her, saying that he thought his mother didn't want him anymore.

"Little fool, why can't mother let go of you? We are going on a long journey the day after tomorrow. The journey will be hard, and you will be tired." Bai Ruozhu touched her son's head and said.

Little Dengdeng looked excited, "I'm not afraid of getting tired. I like to go out and play the most!"

Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun looked at each other. Children have boundless energy.

The next day, Bai Ruozhu went to the palace to meet the Queen Mother, and then went to bid farewell to the Emperor. After finishing all this, it was already evening, and she was about to leave the palace and return home. Jian Qi sent news that a Miss Bai was here. He cried loudly at the door of Baifu and even fainted.

Bai Ruozhu then remembered that Zhang Liliang had mentioned Bai Qizhi to him, and hurriedly left the palace and returned home. When he went back, he saw that the woman named Bai was indeed Bai Qizhi whom he had not seen for a long time.

Bai Qizhi burst into tears when she saw Bai Ruozhu.

"Ruozhu, I thought you left Beijing again, but I'm so anxious." Bai Qizhi said while crying, "You don't know that I chased you all the way to Beishan, and finally found your medicine field to inquire about it. Your housekeeper said you I've returned to Beijing! I've obviously been rushing non-stop, why can't I catch up with you? "

Her voice was extremely aggrieved, "I just heard from your concierge that you were leaving. I thought I missed it again. Fortunately, you didn't leave Beijing."

Originally, Bai Ruozhu should be very happy after not seeing Bai Qizhi for a long time, but she forced down her joy.

There must be a reason for Bai Qizhi to be in such a hurry to find her. In addition, the Baiguang River separated the two of them, making it really difficult for them to be as close as before.
