Some teenagers are born wise, if they don't die young, they will eventually rise to the top and be known by the world.

Xiao Rui nodded, and let Li Yuanfang and others stare at the palace.

More than half an hour later.

Li Yuanfang returned in a hurry and said: "Your Highness, the palace gates outside the imperial city have suddenly stepped up their guards. Lei Jia and Yang Gongyun hurried into the palace. It seems that a big change has taken place in the palace!"

More than 100 catties of gunpowder, which is also mixed with a lot of sharp blades such as blades, once detonated at close range, the power can be imagined.

Since the invention of gunpowder, Xiao Rui and Xia Huang have been cautious and did not dare to move, because they were afraid that if it was leaked out, without the mystery, it would not have unexpected effects.

Therefore, it is obvious that gunpowder can be used to improve the construction of the Great Xia Kingdom, but they are all hidden. It was the last time Xiao Rui went to Ludong to blast the ice and went to Qi to make a round, and used gunpowder.

Moreover, after arriving at the imperial capital of Zhao State, Xiao Rui asked Zhang Liang to conduct a special investigation, and found that although Emperor Zhao liked to take pills, and alchemists also had the method of subduing fire, they did not in-depth research and invented gunpowder, so Xiao Rui and Zhang Liang Liang and Guo Jia dared to send gunpowder into Zhao's palace.

Therefore, being able to kill Emperor Zhao this time was entirely due to gunpowder, but after this incident, I believe the mystery of gunpowder has been completely leaked out.

Once Zhao Huang was killed, Zhao Guo must find out the truth, and gunpowder has something to do with alchemy. After in-depth research, it is estimated that the earliest gunpowder will be fiddled with.

However, if it is leaked, it will be leaked. It will be a matter of time, and it will be worthwhile to kill Zhao Huang and avenge him.What's more, the gunpowder configured by Xiao Rui is mature and powerful gunpowder. Even if Zhao's alchemist has developed black gunpowder, it will not have much power.

After all, gunpowder was invented in the Tang Dynasty in the previous life, but it was not used in the military until the Song and Ming Dynasties, and it became lethal.

"Your Highness, do we need to leave the city?" Li Yuanfang asked.

According to their plan, if Polu succeeds, they will leave the city immediately, but now Xiao Rui wants to wait, he wants to confirm the news that Emperor Zhao is dead!

Early the next morning, Chuan Jianguo went to court, but when he arrived at the gate of the palace, he was told that His Majesty had caught a cold and the morning court was cancelled.The other officials didn't know the inside story, but Chuan Jianguo knew what happened. He scanned around, but couldn't find Lei Jia and Yang Gongyun. It seems that the two entered the palace yesterday and never left the palace!

Although these two are the left and right prime ministers, they can't stay in the palace overnight. This is a serious crime of transgression. Now that the two dare to do this, it seems that something really happened to Emperor Zhao.

If Zhao Huang was really killed, in order to stabilize the territory of Da Zhao, the news of Zhao Huang's death must not be leaked, but this kind of thing will not last long, and a new owner needs to be found to sit in charge.Prince Zhao Haizhi, Zhao Kuangming, Zhao Yulin, and Zhao Xiuqi are all dead, and now there is only one prince in the imperial capital, and that is the Ninth Prince Yuan Wang Zhao Linfeng.

He is the son of the imperial concubine Wen Haixia and His Majesty, and his status can be considered honorable. He understands etiquette and general knowledge, so it is not impossible to inherit the great lineage.

Sure enough, two days later, the "sick" Emperor Zhao suddenly decreed that Zhao Linfeng, the King of Liyuan, would be the crown prince, and he would supervise the country!

This further confirmed Xiao Rui and others' guess that Emperor Zhao is dead!

What made Xiao Rui puzzled was, if Emperor Zhao was dead, why the system didn't remind him that the task was completed.So he is always worried, is Zhao Huang seriously injured by the bomb, and he is still alive?

And just when Zhao Linfeng entered the East Palace, the Qin army who had withdrawn from Changping County suddenly stopped withdrawing and continued to attack.Emperor Qin has pacified Zhan Wang's rebellion, and at the same time found out that Bai Meng is not in collusion with Zhan Wang, so he let him continue to attack!

In this way, Zhao Guo had just regained Changping County, and the defensive front had not been fully drawn, and was attacked mercilessly by the Qin army again.

The Daxia soldiers and horses in the east, under the leadership of Changsheng Hou Tian Boyuan, have already invaded Qijiang County, which is only more than 200 miles away from Qijiang. The people of Zhao State did not revolt on a large scale.

And the champion of the north, Hou, has already won the Qi State Fengtian Mansion.Fengtian Mansion is the most prosperous and largest state city in the south of the imperial capital of Qi State. Taking this place represents two-thirds of the territory south of the imperial capital of Qi State.

At the same time, the Khan of the Yuan Kingdom also crazily seized the territory of the Qi Kingdom. Like the Zhao Kingdom, the Qi Kingdom faced enemies on both sides. Even if the Qi Emperor was better than the Zhao Emperor, he, as a jackal, could resist in the face of two fierce tigers biting him. how long?

Last year, the seven countries coexisted peacefully.

This year, the two countries of Zhao and Qi may perish, and the speed is embarrassing.

Xiao Rui stayed there for another four days, and the system's notification sound finally sounded.

"Mission 2 is completed, Zhao Huang is dead, and the reward comes once!"

The sound was so pleasant that Xiao Rui yelled excitedly. It seemed that Emperor Xia was not directly killed by the explosion of the gunpowder. After standing for a few days, he finally failed.

Now that Emperor Zhao was dead, Xiao Rui's revenge was considered to be avenged. He immediately ordered Zhang Liang and others to pack up their things, and then bid farewell to Chuan Jianguo and left Zhao Guohuang's capital.

A group of people came east, crossed Qiao County and entered Qijiang County, and the journey was smooth without any trouble.

At this time, it was only forty or fifty miles away from Qijiang, but many people could be seen going west with their families across the river. It seems that the army of Marquis Changsheng entered Qijiang County, scaring the rich and noble people on the east bank of Qijiang to flee. to the west bank.

Seeing that they were about to reach the Qijiang Wharf, more and more people were fleeing westward. Xiao Rui and the others seemed to be sailing against the current, which was very eye-catching.

Chapter 508: Waiting for the rabbit, Xiao Rui was captured!

Xiao Rui and his party finally came to the bank of Qijiang River.

From a distance, I saw a large number of boats gathered on the main wharf, and there were too many people fleeing, so that the wharf was overcrowded. The Zhao Guoshui army from the Qijiang camp came to maintain order, and ten buildings were lined up. The safety of the river surface prevents water thieves from looting.

Xiao Rui and the others didn't go to the main pier to join in the fun, just like the last time they crossed the river, they just found a small boat to cross the river.The reason why Gan Ning was not notified was because Gan Ning was still a water thief. If he came to attract the attention of Qijiang camp, it would be bad. After all, according to Gan Ning's plan, he needed to recruit An to enter Qijiang camp.

Soon, two small boats rowed over.

"Seven distinguished guests, do you want to cross the river?" the boatman asked.

Zhang Liang said: "Yes, cross the river!"

The boatman said casually: "Xia's army from the east is coming soon. Now the people are fleeing to the west, and there are too few going east. You are not afraid of danger."

"Our family members are all there, there is nothing we can do." Zhang Liang explained casually, but the boatman's words reminded him.

Yes, the common people fled to the west, but they went east. When they first came, it was like sailing against the current along the way.

Zhang Liang looked at Guo Jia, Guo Jia was also worried about this, but crossing the river was the only way to go east, and after crossing the river, he would fish into the sea, there was no other way now.

"Seven guest officers, the boat is tight now, the ferry fee is one tael of silver..." The boatman's words rang again.

Xiao Rui ignored the boatman's offer to sit on the ground and waved his hand. Li Yuanfang gave a tael of silver, Xiao Rui, Dian Wei, Yang Youji a boat, Zhang Liang, Guo Jia, Li Yuanfang and A Zhu a boat, and sailed eastward.

……

Xiao Rui, Zhang Liang, and Guo Jia didn't think deeply about it. Was it really for the purpose of maintaining order and safety that the Qijiang camp sent ten buildings and boats here?

In the largest building boat in the middle, an old man was drinking tea with a deputy captain of the Qijiang camp.If Xiao Rui were here, he would be shocked to find that this old man was none other than Huang Qilin, whom he had always wanted to get rid of!

This old thing didn't hide in Zhao Guohuang's capital, but ran here!

Judging from his relationship with the deputy commander of the Qijiangying Navy, it seems that they are very close.

Just listen to:

"Old Huang, are you sure that Prince Daxia will cross the river from here?" the vice commander of the navy asked suspiciously.

Huang Qilin nodded and said, "Nine out of ten!"

The news that Polu had injured Emperor Zhao was concealed from the civil and military officials, but Huang Qilin was not concealed from it. Huang Qilin was shocked by the horror and mystery of gunpowder. He felt terrified that the emperor had mastered such a terrifying fetish, and he was even more determined to kill Xiao Rui.

At the same time, he knew that Emperor Zhao would not survive, and even if the guards stood by his side to protect him, he could only linger on for a few days.So he immediately left Zhao Kingdom's imperial capital and rushed to Qijiang County as quickly as possible.

Huang Qilin's thoughts were very direct and clever. Since Xiao Rui was assassinating Zhao Huang, he must wait for news of Zhao Huang's death to come out, so he must have not left the imperial capital.Once he was sure Zhao Huang could not be saved, he would leave.And it is very likely that he will go east and cross the river from Qijiang County.

In addition, the common people now go west, and few people go east, as long as they keep an eye on the west bank of the Qijiang River, there will naturally be results!
