I was a prince in ancient times

"Pooh--"

After the loud noise, Xie Anlan covered his deafened ears, shook off the soil that was about to bury him, and then spit out the mud that accidentally splashed into his mouth, and looked up to see the place after the explosion.

He was dumbfounded for a moment.

The power seems to be much greater than imagined.

The place where he just threw it was near a small hill, and now the small hill has disappeared, leaving only a small mound that has been blasted beyond recognition.

Lu Chengjiao and Lu Chuyi lay in the dirt, and it took a while to realize what happened.

They shook off the mud that was about to bury people, looked at the place where the bomb was completely destroyed, and then looked at Xie Anlan with eyes that were almost terrified.

They were more afraid of the person who created such a terrible thing than the thing that blew up the hill with a loud noise just now.

"Your Highness—"

The sound of the explosion seemed to be still echoing in his ears, Lu Chengjie exhausted all his strength to speak, and felt like a mosquito and fly.

"What, what are you talking about?"

Xie Anlan saw Lu Chengjiao's lips moving, and knew that he must be talking to herself, but the explosion was too powerful just now, and there was a short-term tinnitus.

"Master——I can't hear!" Lu Chu saw that Xie Anlan and Lu Chengjiao were both moving their lips, but there was no sound in their ears, and he reacted belatedly and panicked.

The three-person chicken and the duck talked a few words, but seeing that it didn't make sense, Xie Anlan picked up a branch and wrote on the ground, "Be safe and don't be impatient, you will hear it after a while."

Although they are not proficient enough in traditional Chinese characters, and the writing is crooked, but at least the two of them understood it and calmed down from the panic.

At this time, the three people saw each other clearly, their clothes were neat and tidy when they came, but now they are all disheveled.

Especially Lu Chengjia, not to mention the mud all over his face, there are two clear handprints on it, and he still has the slightest appearance of a young man in troubled times.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Xie Anlan took advantage of Lu Chengjie's inattention and left a few mud marks on the other half of his face.

Lu Chengjie was caught off guard by Xie Anlan's sneak attack, and he returned two of them to Xie Anlan without hesitation.

There was a bit of agility in Gu Jing Wubo's eyes, which made Xie Anlan nod his head.

That's right.

There is no boy in his eighteenth or nineteenth year who looks mature and stable every day.

After getting in touch with him in the past few days, he found that Lu Chengjie was always considerate and thoughtful. Although he enjoyed it a lot, he always felt that the other party lacked the vigor of a young man, and looked like an old man, not like himself at all.

"Master, master, I can hear you!"

It didn't take long for the three of them to hear the sound, and the first day of the junior high school was so happy that they almost jumped up. Just now, he was so scared that he thought he would not be able to hear it in the future.

Lu Chengjie suppressed the unrestrained smile just now, turned to look at the mud marks on Xie Anlan's face, felt a little sorry, and lifted up his clean sleeves to wipe them clean for him.

Xie Anlan suddenly felt dispirited, and refused, "The whole body is dirty, why should you care about this part of your face?"

After finishing speaking, I ran to see the place where the bombing was carried out.

I have to say that the production method given by this system is quite reliable. Not only did there not be any accidents during the production process, but Mighty also gave him a pleasant surprise.

The point is, it saved him a lot of time.

If he was allowed to rely on the little chemical knowledge he had left to ponder bit by bit, he didn't know when he would have to ponder, and it was hard to say whether his life would still be alive by then.

Now with this gun|powder, not to mention repelling the enemy, at least there is a buffer time.

It's just... the emergence of gunpowder, the war pattern of this time and space will definitely be changed because of it, and countless blood and lives will be poured under its power.

Xie Anlan hesitated for a moment, and finally put those thoughts of compassion behind her.

This was an era where the jungle preyed on the jungle. Without a heart as hard as iron, he would be the one who died.

History has always been accompanied by blood. Even if he doesn't make gun|powder, someone else will make it, and there will be no fewer people who will die by then.

Just as Xie Anlan was thinking about how to give this thing to his cheap brother, a dusty horse was driving towards them.

After taking a look at it, Lu Chengjie reminded Xie Anlan, "The people from the City Defense Department are here."

"So fast?"

Xie Anlan was a little surprised. Judging from the explosion just now, the imperial capital must have noticed it, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

"Your Highness forgot, there has been an alarm for war recently, and there is even more turmoil in the imperial capital, let alone such a big commotion." Lu Chengjiao had a very clear mind, and quickly explained the situation to Xie Anlan.

"The people who heard the movement just now must have panicked." Xie Anlan smiled wryly. Because they miscalculated the power of gunpowder, the place of their experiment was not very far from the imperial capital. I'm afraid they heard the movement just now. There are many people.

Not long after, the city defense soldiers who were waiting in full battle came to the front, and the first sentence of the leader was a tough man in his thirties. His first sentence was to scold, "Who is here to arouse Tianwei? If you don't fight, you will be arrested!"

"It really scared your dog's eyes! Can't you see that the prince and concubine are here?" Lu Chuyi held up Xie Anlan's warrant and went back without hesitation.

After hearing this, Gao De, the chief officer of the city defense department, glanced at the clothes on Xie Anlan and Lu Chengjiao, and took Lu Chuyi's warrant in doubt to carefully identify the authenticity.

After confirming that it was true, he immediately dismounted and knelt down in front of Xie Anlan, "I don't know that the prince and concubine are here, and my words are inappropriate. Please punish the prince and concubine."

As soon as he knelt down, dozens of people behind him got off their horses and knelt down in front of Xie Anlan.

Looking at a group of tough military generals kneeling in front of them, Xie Anlan felt uncomfortable and at the same time was glad that he was dressed as a prince, otherwise he would kneel down every now and then in this strict ancient times, his kneecaps might be bent.

Naturally, Xie Anlan would not reprimand someone for ignorance, waved her hand, and said impatiently, "Okay, okay, ignorant people are not guilty, you go back, I will... The king will personally report to the emperor!"

"Thank you, my lord, for your understanding." Gao De was a general, and he couldn't say flattering words in his mouth. He thought about the words of thanks in his mind, and finally he only spit out these few dry words.

Xie Anlan got into the carriage with Lu Chengke nonchalantly, and ordered Lu Chuyi to carry him back to the imperial capital.

Gothe and a group of city defense soldiers escorted behind, not to mention looking quite dignified.

When he has money in the future, and after the palace is reorganized, he will have more than a dozen of these bodyguards around him, which makes him feel very safe.

All the way back to the capital, there was still a circle of people who had just been frightened at the gate of the city, holding their packed bags and ready to run away at any time, cautiously at the gate of the city, either to inquire about news, or to see if there was a chance Sneak out of town.

Even Xie Anlan heard a lot of gossip.

"Why is there another sound in the blue sky and white sun? It can't be that Yanhe was lost, and the gods will be unhappy to send divine punishment."

"It's likely to be like this. A few days ago, when the Yanhe River was lost, Anding Village was punished by a miracle. It happened to land in a farmer's house. The man of that family was burned to death on the spot, and the house collapsed."

This matter has been spread all over the imperial capital in the past few days, and everyone didn't find it strange after hearing it, and asked in a hurry, "Then that family was punished by God again this time."

Xie Anlan quietly raised the curtain of the carriage, and looked out, only to see an old man with a slightly rich figure surrounded by the crowd, half-closed his eyes, pinching his beard, looking in a daze, after a long time After a while, he opened his small eyes and said slowly, "This old man sees which family the divine punishment did not fall on."

"How to say?" Everyone's interest was raised high.

"Gain, today, the god's punishment fell to the northwest, where there are barren hills and no farmers to live in."

"This is a good thing!" A young man in the crowd yelled.

"Ignorance!" The old man glanced at the man, and said coldly, "Although this time the divine punishment did not fall on any of the people, but it is getting closer and closer to the imperial capital, who knows if it will come to the imperial capital one day! "

Swah——

The faces of all the people around the old man turned pale.

The knife did not fall on him, everyone looked at this matter with a mentality of watching the excitement, and now it is very likely that the divine punishment will enter the imperial city, and it may fall in his home tomorrow. Everyone became uneasy.

Some even didn't need the old man's guidance, so they took the initiative to skim in the direction of the palace, trembling, "No... the next moment, it will be..."

"It's not impossible..."

"Perhaps... Germany is not suitable..."

The sound from behind became quieter, and the carriage got farther and farther away from the crowd. Xie Anlan put down the curtains, the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he chuckled after a long time, "It's quite interesting."

Sitting in the carriage together with Xie Anlan, Lu Chengjie and Xie Anlan heard the rumors outside clearly just now. Seeing Xie Anlan smiled, he pondered, "Don't worry about it?"

"No, remarks like this are definitely not limited to the city gate, and you can't stop the crowd if you catch one. Let them go. Besides, I'm just an idle prince, so I can't control so much." Xie Anlan shook his head, he I don't want to set myself on fire.

Because the matter of gunpowder is of great importance, Xie Anlan didn't let Lu Chengjiao accompany him into the palace, but let Lu Chuyi put him down in front of the palace gate, and walked in swaggeringly without caring about his dirty body. royal palace.

The Imperial Palace, inside Jinghua Palace.

Yang Wuzheng, the chief soldier of the city defense department, knelt in front of the emperor, and reported the situation inside and outside the imperial capital these days in detail. That day's punishment was linked together to talk to His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, I have sent my subordinates to investigate, and there will be results soon."

The emperor's eyes were calm, and there was no expression on his face. Before he could speak, he heard a cynical voice from outside the hall.

"You don't need to wait for a reply, this king can now tell Brother Huang what happened to the day's punishment."
