Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Wan Shufang's face was solemn: "I am sure this is the smell of gunpowder, and it is particularly strong. If I am not mistaken, there has just been a gunpowder explosion not far ahead."

When Chen Changli heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly.

They had a preconceived notion that gunpowder was invented by Old Lady Shang.

After the death of Old Lady Shang and Yi Shu and others, the production of gunpowder would be lost, and no one could use gunpowder to do anything harmful to the world. No one would have thought that gunpowder would appear in front of people again.

Wan Shufang knew how lethal gunpowder was, and her heart immediately rose to her throat. "It seems that our previous guess was wrong. Gunpowder is not the result of Mrs. Shang's research."

Listening to Wan Shufang's rather solemn words, Chen Changli suddenly had an idea: "Could it be that Chang Xuewei knew the lethality of this thing and could produce it in large quantities, so she gave up the Phoenix Gu?"

Chang Xuewei must feel that there is not much difference between turning everyone in the world into weirdos or blowing everyone in the world to death.

Compared to the uncontrollable Phoenix Gu, the use of gunpowder is much simpler. According to Chang Xuewei's crazy idea, she might really choose gunpowder.

"Gunpowder is not only extremely lethal, but also extremely destructive to the surrounding environment. In short, I am unwilling to let people use gunpowder unless it is absolutely necessary."

What Chen Changli could think of, Wan Shufang could also think of, and she knew even better how terrible gunpowder was.

She would rather see Chang Xuewei use Phoenix Gu to create monsters than see her conquer the world with gunpowder.

Seeing Wan Shufang's unhappy face, Chen Changli knew her worries and immediately comforted her, then took her carefully to the place where the smell of gunpowder was coming from.

"Shufang, don't let your imagination run wild and don't scare yourself."

Listening to Chen Changli's gentle words, Wan Shufang quickly took a deep breath and then exhaled.

After repeating this several times, she felt much better and followed Chen Changli closely. In less than a cup of tea, they arrived at the place that had been blown up by gunpowder.

Looking at the big pit in front of her, Wan Shufang hurriedly walked closer to take a look, only to find that there were many human corpses inside.

She had seen many dead bodies when she fled famine, but this corpse blown up by gunpowder was so horrifying that she was shocked.

"Why are there so many corpses here? Did Chang Xuewei get the gunpowder and use it to clean up the mess?"

"But these people died so tragically. It felt like they were dazed before they died and didn't know what was going to happen to them."

Chen Changli carefully observed the corpse at the bottom of the pit, and then checked the surroundings to make sure there was nothing wrong with the surroundings. Only this pit was very scary.

He thought for a moment and said, "Chang Xuewei is the elder of the New Heaven Society. As long as she gives an order, no matter what others do, they have to put down their work and come to see her."

"So if she got the gunpowder and buried it here, anyone who came here without knowing anything would be caught by her."

Having said this, Chen Changli shook his head again: "All of this is our speculation. We don't know whether Chang Xuewei did this or not, so we can't jump to conclusions. We have to find a way to figure this out."

If Chang Xuewei really controlled the gunpowder, some of their previous plans would have to be abandoned, and they would have to find a way to leave here as soon as possible and not stay here, otherwise they would be used as hostages by Chang Xuewei to threaten others.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Changli realized the seriousness of the matter. He immediately took Wan Shufang to inspect the entire mountain range. Then, taking advantage of the terrain, he secretly observed the changes in the villa.

After confirming that the villa had been abandoned and there were no people there, Chen Changli did not relax. Instead, he waited until night fell before taking Wan Shufang into the villa to check it out.

But after a while, Chen Changli found signs of human life in the somewhat dilapidated courtyard.

When he saw these traces, his tense heartstrings relaxed a little.

The fact that there are people living here means that this place still has value, and the people of the New Heaven Society cannot abandon it.

"There is someone there." Wan Shufang suddenly lowered her voice.

When Chen Changli heard this, he pulled her and was about to leave, but the man made a sound. The couple looked at each other in surprise.

"Damn you Chang Xuewei, are you feeding me like a bird? You make me count the grains of rice every day, aren't you afraid that I will starve to death?"

Jiang Xuan was very angry, as if the frustration he had been holding back for days had finally reached a critical point and he exploded.

"Should we go over to see him?" When Wan Shufang heard that the voice belonged to Jiang Xuan and that he was still complaining about Chang Xuewei, she became interested.

Chen Changli didn't want to go at first, but seeing the expectation in Wan Shufang's eyes under the moonlight, he decided to take a risk.

So he deliberately made some noise to attract Jiang Xuan's attention.

"Who's outside?" Jiang Xuan's tone was tense, like a beast ready to attack. As long as he found the enemy, he would pounce on him and tear him to pieces.

But in a flash he suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Chen Changli, is that you?"

Hearing him asking like a thief, Chen Changli frowned unconsciously.

Wan Shufang rolled her eyes and coughed deliberately.

When Jiang Xuan heard the cough, his eyes lit up and he ran over happily.

Seeing the couple standing in the dark, Jiang Xuan's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

He wiped his eyes quickly and said in a choked voice: "How come sand suddenly got into my eyes?"

"Jiang Xuan, long time no see." Wan Shufang took the initiative to greet him.

Chen Changli looked at him in the moonlight and found that his cheeks were sunken and his body was very thin.

It seemed that in the past half month, not only had they suffered and become thinner due to starvation, but Jiang Xuan had also suffered and his life was even worse than theirs, which was why he had become so thin.

"Did Chang Xuewei torture you?" After hesitating for a while, Chen Changli asked this question.

Jiang Xuan rolled his eyes at him unceremoniously: "Chang Xuewei can't protect herself now. If she wants to torture me, she can only do so in her dreams."

"What's going on?" Upon hearing this, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were both very surprised.

The moment they saw the gunpowder, the couple were worried that Chang Xuewei would become more and more crazy with the killing weapon in her hand. From what Jiang Xuan said, Chang Xuewei, the elder of the New Heaven Society, was also in trouble.

Didn't Cao Xuewei control the gunpowder? Then who got the gunpowder?

Feeling doubtful, the couple looked at each other. Seeing the worry in each other's eyes, they felt even more depressed.

Jiang Xuan gnashed his teeth and said, "Someone from the New Heaven Society has defected to the Sixth Prince, and Tu Zhizhi and Tu Yuanzhou are also secretly trying to dig into the New Heaven Society. These two groups are hiding in this villa."

"When Chang Xuewei summoned the poisonous insects and wanted to make the people wandering in the jungle obey her orders, these people jumped out and caught Chang Xuewei off guard."

"At the same time, the new batch of opium produced was also divided up by them."

When Jiang Xuan said this, his face looked very ugly.

"Fortunately, Chang Xuewei had a backup plan. The three of us fought for more than half a month before we managed to maintain the current situation. Otherwise, what you two would be looking at right now would be my dead body."

"By the way, where have you and your wife been all this time? Why can't everyone find you?"
