Qin asked

Uncle Niu wondered, "Where are people?"

scared away by me...

Mo Dou calmly picked up the torch that was thrown away, extinguished it, and then turned back, pretending that nothing had happened, and said calmly: "I asked them to go back and inform the king."

Uncle Niu glanced suspiciously at the torch in Mo Dou's hand, but he didn't ask any further. He followed Mo Dou and asked, "Do you want to wait for the king to come over?"

"No need, the flour will sink after a while," Mo Dou shook his head to fool Uncle Niu, "Let's try it first, and go back immediately after the test."

Uncle Niu didn't ask any more questions, and the two quickly went back to the pothole to check the situation. They hadn't been away for a long time, and the white dust inside was still floating, and there was a sense of immortality, but only Mo Dou knew. How much power it will produce in a while.

Mo Dou took out a pack of gunpowder from his pocket, sprinkled it behind a boulder along the edge of the hole, then lit a fire pocket, called Uncle Niu to his side and wanted to give some instructions. After all, the power of dust explosions is not small. Sometimes It can even cause the death of hundreds of people. It is not impossible for one to blow up and collapse the mountain.

"If there are rocks and soil falling, remember to..." The dim light of the fire imprinted on the face, making Uncle Niu's wrinkles more and more clear. Go to the top of the mountain and wait."

"But there is a risk?" Uncle Niu was very sensitive, and he looked at Mo Dou disapprovingly, "Then how can you try it yourself, or let the old servant call the servants and let them try it."

Mo Dou opened his mouth, and swallowed the words he wanted to refute. As a manager of this era, it is normal for Uncle Niu not to treat people as human beings... He smiled easily, "No, Uncle Niu thought too much, and didn't care about it." No danger, just do as I tell you."

Uncle Niu looked at Mo Dou and said, "Since there is no danger, let this old servant accompany you, and you can continue talking."

The people looked at each other for a while, and Mo Dou was the first to be defeated. He sighed and continued: "Don't panic when the explosion happens later, just cover your ears. clear?"

"It's better to make people..." Uncle Niu was silent for a while, still wanting to persuade Mo Dou, but seeing Mo Dou's face, he finally gave up, "Yes, this old servant knows."

Seeing that Uncle Niu stopped trying to dissuade him, Mo Dou's face looked better, and he breathed a sigh of relief. If Uncle Niu continued to persuade him, he might directly reprimand Uncle Niu—because he was moved just now.

He even regretted that he ran to the barren mountains and mountains in person and made a mess. He might as well stay in the house comfortably, send someone to try his idea, and then tell Ying easily. The political outcome, given his current status, is completely achievable...

But this is wrong, a seemingly simple idea, if he hadn't tried it himself, Mo Dou would never have realized how much flour is tempting to ordinary people, and the danger of landslides will only be delayed at the cost of human life. Discovered by Mo Dou.

Mo Dou secretly warned himself, and the torch in his hand squeaked, lighting up the gunpowder line on the ground, and the bright sparks slowly crawled along the black line towards the pothole, and then disappeared in the dark hole.

boom!

Huge heat waves scrambled out of the small hole, blowing violent hot wind, Mo Dou instinctively closed his eyes, and he pulled Uncle Niu into his arms. The two of them did not cause any damage. Seeing that the explosion was over, Uncle Niu wanted to get up, Mo Dou endured the discomfort in his ears, and shouted to Uncle Niu in his arms: "Wait a little longer!"

In such a short time, the dust deposited in the pit was blown up again by the blast wave. In a short period of time, a negative pressure was formed in the central area of ​​the explosion, and the air outside the hole quickly filled in, clouding with the dust in midair. , due to the high temperature, an explosion occurred again.

After the two loud bangs, everything returned to silence. From a distance, it seemed that two muffled thunders passed by in a hurry, leaving only charred smoke slowly drifting out from the bottom of the pit.

The tinnitus gradually subsided, and Mo Dou's legs and feet were weak from the shock. He overestimated himself a bit... He gritted his teeth and got up, and then struggled to help Uncle Niu up.

Black smoke blocked the inspector's sight, Mo Dou frowned, squatted down on the ground to see more clearly, but heard a crackling sound, as if something was breaking...

"move back!"

Mo Dou said in horror. He staggered to his feet and almost dragged Uncle Niu to run backwards. He had imagined landslides and other problems, and even paid special attention to the weather. He thought he had imagined everything, but he forgot the most basic cave landslide.

But it was too late, the speed of the ground sinking was obviously faster, and Mo Dou felt surrounded by an old and warm body, and then lost all consciousness...

Outside Xianyang City, a group of troops guarded a carriage. The torches seemed to be free of money, illuminating the surrounding environment brightly. Moths danced happily in the sky, crashing into the flames from time to time, leaving behind A plume of black smoke.

Ying Zheng got up, got out of the carriage, and asked Meng Tian beside him, "Have you found it yet?"

Meng Tian shook his head and said, "No."

Ying Zheng frowned, and looked into the distance. There are not many mountains around Xianyang. With so many people sent, it stands to reason that there should be no news at all until now...

He thought for a while and asked, "What happened?"

Meng Tian hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "There seems to be ghosts and gods on the mountain..."

"Ghost?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Tell me specifically."

"They said they looked human, but they were all white. They stopped people from going up the mountain. Later, I sent people to go again. They said that the mountain god was angry, so they refused to go again." Meng Tian said by himself, still Faintly, he persuaded, "Your Majesty, why don't you look for it after dawn. A Dou has many people with him, and nothing will happen. Maybe he will come down by himself tomorrow."

"There are a lot of people with me, but there is no one to report their safety. How can you rest assured me?" Ying Zheng glared at Meng Tian, ​​"If you can't even find anyone, what use are you for!"

So many people couldn't find Mo Dou, Meng Tian was not happy, he bowed his head and said: "The last general is incompetent, the King of Qing will punish him."

Ying Zheng ignored him, but thought for a moment, and said, "Follow me to that mountain to have a look."

"No," Meng Tian was a little anxious. It is true that Mo Dou's matter is urgent, but His Majesty's comfort is more important. "Your Majesty, don't take this risk. If there are ghosts and gods..."

"The widow wants to ask them where they took the widow's ink fountain!"

Even if his Mo Dou offended them by testing explosives on the mountain, there is absolutely no reason to rob him!
