"This, the old? I don't know."

Ge Xunqing and Shi Ruzhuo felt as if they had swallowed three eggs alive without water to drink from his last confession, and they seemed to be locked in a dark room. Someone described in detail how vicious and ferocious the man-eating beasts around them were. But don't tell them where to run.

"You... you might as well not talk about it!" Ge Xunqing was anxiously circling around in place, "Isn't this just to scare people?"

Shi Ruzhuo pondered for a while and said: "If you want to dig a tunnel to connect to the underground waterway, there will be big disturbances, and it will not be completed overnight. It has not been discovered for so many years, it must be in a remote and uninhabited place. .”

The prophet added another knife: "What kind of man is Lan Lu? He has a rich family, and he doesn't need to dig the ground in a remote and uninhabited place. He can buy the surrounding houses and send them away? So? Is there any difference? Those who do can do whatever they want."

Shi Ruzhuo was speechless.

The Prophet said again: "Lv Dahonglu seems to be dead, and now Shangshu Nalan is left, maybe... she will restrain herself a little bit?"

Ge Xunqing didn't know Lan Lu very well, and Shi Ruzhuo felt like he was being punched in the chest.

"Lv Jian is dead, and Lan Wan will probably be even more depressed. Mad, fearless." Shi Ruzhuo looked towards the end of the narrow alley, wondering if it was her own suggestion, the shouts outside became louder.

"Boling is in danger."

Whether or not the place where the gunpowder is buried can be found, it must be sought immediately.

"The old man? Is it possible that Mister is lying?" Ge Xunqing and Shi Ruzhuo walked out quickly? Shi Ruzhuo asked, "Who is he?"

Ge Xunqing said: "He is the prophet of the Omo Sect."

Shi Ruzhuo: "...a prophet?"

"It's a magic stick that can predict in advance."

The two of them fell into an ominous silence again because of this person's special status.

At the entrance of the alley, they found that in addition to the forbidden army, there was another group of cavalry with strange costumes fighting against the Lan family army.

Each of these cavalry can cut and shoot, and they can switch freely whether they are close to the ground or far away, and they are brave regardless of men and women.

Ge Xunqing let out a "huh" and said pleasantly, "Who are they!"

Shi Ruzhuo stuffed the hat into his clothes, and held the sword again: "It seems to be barbarians...but they are helping Bo Ling."

The two of them couldn't think that these were reinforcements from the Changge Kingdom for a while, and they couldn't allow them to think about it.

The most urgent task is to find the place where Lanwan buried the gunpowder, otherwise, once Lanwan goes crazy and detonates one of the points, the whole Boling will cease to exist.

But where would the gunpowder be hidden?

Shi Ruzhuo knew a thing or two about the Lan family, but it was impossible for him to guess Lan Wan's layout.

The two hesitated while helping the rebellious army, and were almost surrounded. Three arrows shot at them and protected them back.

"What are you doing! It's too dangerous to be here without armor!" Wu Xianrong pulled Shi Ruzhuo over and pushed them into the carriage.

Escorted by Wu Mingyan, the boat drove the carriage into an empty wine cellar and hid there.

Shi Ruzhuo and Ge Xunqing told them about the gunpowder, and the hairs on the three of them stood on end.

Wu Xianrong: "Gunpowder? Indeed... It seems like something Lan Wan would do."

Wu Mingyan said anxiously: "The person who sent the report didn't know where the gunpowder was buried??! Then why did you report it!"

Ge Xunqing complained to this confidant: "Who says it's not! But it makes people anxious!"

Li Zhou stood at the door of the carriage, listening to their conversation while keeping an eye on her surroundings.

Suddenly, she saw a person walking here, immediately drew her sword, and shouted to the carriage: "My lord, sister!"

Seeing her flustered expression, Wu Xianrong immediately stepped out of the carriage.

Wu Xianyi? Holding a small corpse in her hand that has not been warm for a long time. The blood on the tattered clothes has dried up. No matter who puts on her current dress, she will look distraught, but Wu Xianyi? She still looks familiar to Wu Xianrong , tall and straight, calm, everything is buried in my heart.

But Wu Xianyi in front of him seemed to be somewhat different.

"Where are you looking for? I know." Wu Xianyi said.

Ge Xunqing and the others opened the car curtains to look at Wu Xianyi, and then to Wu Xianrong, all using their eyes to ask if they were trustworthy, whether they should be believed or not.

Wu Xianrong saw that Wu Xianyi was holding her daughter Achong in his arms.

She bumped into this child by chance once in the market, when Wu Xianyi hugged her the whole time and bought her small toys to make her laugh.

The little girl didn't laugh yet, Wu Xianyi? Laughed first.

Wu Xianyi shouldn't have that kind of smile.

Now this child is lifeless, could it be...

Wu Xianrong understood what happened.

"Where is it?" Wu Xianrong said, "Take us there."

The Mingjiang River is outside Boling City, and Wei Xi has just received an emergency report from the military, saying that Changge Kingdom reinforcements have arrived from Lingge Mountain, and are now killing the enemy in the city, and the situation is very good.

Shen Yue led the troops to rescue the city's garrison in an emergency. Wei Xi and his group were wounded, injured, and frightened. In order to ensure the safety of the emperor, they waited until the situation stabilized before going from Mingjiang to the imperial city.

In front? is the north section of the moat, and the bridge across the moat is the Boling City Gate.

There are still fights in the northern part of the moat, but the battle here is not so critical, and it is the closest and safest way to return to Shuyuan from here.

Compared to the unrest outside the city, Boling Garrison Garden is still the safest place right now.

Tong's carriage followed the emperor's guard of honor and slowly entered the city. Tong Shaoxuan was helping Tang Jianwei treat his wound meticulously.

Tong Shaozhuo suddenly ran into their carriage, the carriage was still moving slowly, she stepped up, startled the two of them.

"Lu Jian is dead." Tong Shaozhuo's short words made Tong Shaoxuan and Tang Jianwei stunned at the same time.

"Really?" Tang Jianwei asked.

Tong Shaozhuo was very sure: "Really! I was shot and killed by you!"

Tang Jianwei held Tong Shaoxuan's hand tightly, took a deep breath, the breath dissipated, and tears fell.

Ye Niang, thank you...

"Where's Lan Wan?" Tang Jianwei asked.

"Lan Wan is not dead yet, right now..."

Tong Shaozhuo originally wanted to say that Lan Wan went crazy in Boling City because of Lu Jian's death, but then he thought why should Tang Jianwei be burdened, it was precisely because of Tang Jianwei's arrow that Lan Wantu saw it poorly, and Tang Jianwei should make a contribution .Without Lu Jian, it was the beginning of Lan Wan's downfall.

"Lan Wan is not dead yet." Tong Shaozhuo said again, "But it is not far from death."

Tang Jianwei quickly adjusted his mood: "It's impossible for Lan Wan not to have a back move. If I were her, after so many years in Boling, why wouldn't I prepare for the final method of burning everything together?"

"You mean..."

"A Nian! Ah Shen!"

There was a carriage coming from the city, and the emperor's guards stopped it. Tong Shaoxuan heard the movement and looked around. It was the carriage of Tongfu. Lu Fan stood outside the carriage and shouted to them.

"Sister-in-law?!" Tong Shaoxuan and Tang Jianwei got out of the car immediately, "Why are you here?"

Lu Fan originally wanted to tell them what happened in Tong's Mansion, but now the situation is special, and he didn't want the two of them to be distracted, so he didn't say anything, until everything subsided.

Lu Fan has already gone back to the Tong's Mansion, but the Tong's Mansion is still impenetrable and no one can get in, and the sharp poisonous thorns also blocked her outside.

Since he couldn't enter the mansion, Lu Fan was thinking about Tong Shaoxuan and Tang Jianwei, so he bandaged his wound, slept in the carriage to recover some energy, and when he woke up, the gang brothers had found them.

"Of course I came to you because I was worried about your safety."

While speaking, there was a gust of wind blowing on the moat, Wei Xi and Tong Shaozhuo's carriage was about to cross the bridge, and found a luxurious and huge painting boat, driving towards the bridge.

"Stop!" The general of the forbidden army felt that something was wrong and stopped the guard of honor.

Wei Xi opened the car window, looked out, and saw the painted boat.

"Your Majesty." The general led the carriage to the side of the carriage and asked the guards, "It is expressly prohibited on the moat to use a painting boat of this size, and this painting boat may be different."

Lu Fan and Tong Shaoxuan Tang Jianwei were standing in the wind, and they also found the boat.

Lu Fan faced the wind, the tip of his nose fluttering? There seemed to be a unique smell in the wind that she had smelled before.

She couldn't help staring at the painting boat that was getting closer?...

Ge Xunqing kicked the gate open, and the spacious mansion was surrounded by dead branches and willows. From the outside, it seemed that there were people living there, but there was no sign of anyone in the courtyard.

Wu Mingyan was a little wary of Wu Xianyi the whole time, and never let go of the bow and arrow in his hand.

"Here." Wu Xianyi walked to the mouth of the well in the backyard and said to the mouth of the well.

Facing the dark wellhead, no one moved.

Wu Xianyi understood, she handed Achong to Wu Xianrong: "Azi, help me hug her for a while."

Then he jumped down and jumped into the well.

Didn't expect this well to be so deep, Wu Xianyi? After jumping in, he stepped on a plank and his head was still sticking out.She kicked down with all her strength, the plank cracked, and there was the sound of her walking down the stairs.

Ge Xunqing said: "Gongyu, you and these little sisters wait here, I'll go down and have a look."

Shi Ruzhuo insisted: "I'll go down with you."

The two of them went down the well together and walked across a wooden ladder. It didn't look like an underground well. There was a cave underneath. It was completely an underground palace. It was very large, and an oil lamp was hung to illuminate the way.

Wu Xianyi? Standing in front of a door: "The inside is full of gunpowder and the entrance to the underground waterway."

Ge Xunqing took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

Although they had already made preparations, Ge Xunqing and Shi Ruzhuo were shocked when they saw that this room, which was larger than the largest courtyard in the Tongfu, was filled with countless gunpowder and choked by the pungent smell. Heart? Still beating violently.

"This is the point in the east of Boling. Once it explodes here, it doesn't take a cup of tea. The other three points in Boling will follow suit."

"Where are the other three dots?!"

"Two are in Zixuan Mansion and Bridge Gallery Market, and there is another place where the most gunpowder is hidden? It is in the north of the moat, the underground waterway under the bridge from the Ming River to the city."

Ge Xunqing was not very familiar with Bo Ling, at first he didn't catch any clues, but Shi Ruzhuo understood it immediately.

"Lanwan set up an ambush on the north side of the moat, waiting for the emperor who returned to the city from the Ming River? Just wait for the emperor to cross the bridge, and then blow it up?"

Once the moat is blown up, even if they protect this point, it will be useless, the gunpowder will still explode all the way to this point along the underground waterway.

Wu Xianyi glanced at her long and narrow phoenix eyes: "Master Shi is quite transparent. Now that Lu Jian is dead and supported by the Changge army, Lan Wan only has this last breath left. But this last breath is enough to swallow the entire Boling government."

Shi Ruzhuo was startled: "Lu Jian is dead?"

Wu Xianyi? Didn't answer her again.

Just as he was talking, suddenly there was a sound of fighting from above the mouth of the well.

Ge Xunqing looked at Wu Xianyi in surprise: "Ms. Wu?!"

Wu Xianyi walked up with the knife in hand: "It's natural that the place where the gunpowder is buried is guarded. You should have thought of that."

Originally, this place was very hidden, and very few people knew about it, but even so, there were still guards.

These guards were not good at attacking fiercely, but when they met Wu Xianyi? They were still not opponents, and they were quickly defeated by her.

But Wu Xianrong noticed that even if he wiped out the enemy all at once, Wu Xianyi's skill became much slower.

Her injuries are likely to be very serious.

These guards recognized Wu Xianyi and knew how powerful she was, so they dared not compete with her again. They exchanged winks and lit a torch. The leading man jumped into the well unexpectedly.

They want to ignite the gunpowder directly!

Lan Wan's order to them was that if someone came and they were no match, they would immediately set fire to them and blow them up.

Everyone's eyes followed the man who fell into the well, and their terrified expressions suddenly turned on their faces.

The man went to die generously, but he was actually a little scared.

While reciting the scriptures in my heart, I have already begun to save myself, but suddenly my scalp tightened, and my steps on the wooden ladder lost ground.

Ge Xunqing lay on the edge of the well, and grabbed his hair.

"Come up to me!" Ge Xunqing's eyes turned red, and she held on tightly, not letting go.

The man was in so much pain that he was about to burst into tears, but in order to complete the task and keep the family who had been transferred to the south safe, he could only pull hard and tear off his own hair.

Ge Xunqing: "?"

There are such cruel people in the world!

What was even more unexpected was that he had just lost his hair, and his ears were caught again.

Wu Mingyan and Ge Xunqing were lying side by side, barely touching his ears, so they twisted them desperately.Taking advantage of the situation, Ge Xunqing grabbed the other side of his hair again.

The man's head was almost torn into a five-square shape, and he grinned in pain.

At this moment, Shi Ruzhuo found a bucket half full of unknown water, and poured it down.

The torches were extinguished, and there was also a stench.

"Ouch!" Ge Xunqing and Wu Mingyan lay on the side and were about to vomit.

Shi Ruzhuo didn't expect that he would pick up such an incredible weapon, and almost passed out.

When they worked together to drag this man out of the well, they were so disgusted that they didn't dare to hit him.

Fortunately, Ge Xunqing reacted quickly? He was stopped, otherwise? When he threw the torch, the gunpowder magazine was detonated, and the consequences would be disastrous.

After they timidly brought this person under control, they turned around and found that Wu Xianyi and Li Zhou had completely knocked down the nursing home, not one of them was spared.

Wu Mingyan suggested: "Let's split up? Some people stay at this point? Don't let anyone try to detonate it. Others should go to Hebei to support the emperor. Don't let sister Chengcan have any accidents."

When Wu Xianrong returned Ah Chong, who was well protected in his arms, to Wu Xianyi, when Wu Mingyan actually called Wei Xi "Sister Chengcan", he couldn't help giving her an extra look.

Wu Mingyan still in a daze? I don't know what name I said that made everyone pay attention.

Wu Xianyi? I was paying attention just now? Wu Mingyan.

She discovered that Wu Mingyan actually had kung fu on him, Shi □□zhun was sensitive, and his thinking and vision were very clear during the chaotic battle. This is the ability of a typical martial arts practitioner.

It is very different from the dull Wu Yushi who has been by her side all these years.

Wu Xianyi? I see. This old friend for many years is probably not only "supervising the censor Lixing Wu Mingyan", but also working for the "Emperor" and monitoring her every move.

That's why she "coincidentally" went to Su County with her for inspection.

At that time, Wu Mingyan also watched the whole process of killing She Zhiye? Did he see it?

Thinking of this, Wu Xianyi showed a tired self-mockery on his face.

Shi Ruzhuo insisted? Going to Mocheng Hebei, Ge Xunqing hesitated, and said to her:

"Hebei is probably the most dangerous place to protect the city now? It's the place where Lanwan fought her last battle. It's too dangerous. You don't have kung fu. If you go there, aren't you afraid of throwing your life there?"

These years of experience have carved Shi Ruzhuo into a person who says nothing. She said to Ge Xunqing: "Lan Wan killed my mother and younger brother. If I can't kill this thief today, my relatives will not be able to rest in peace. This is my last chance, and I must go."

Shi Ruzhuo's words were very strong, with the majesty of the "Master Shi" of the Privy Council, which made Ge Xunqing unable to answer for a while, and also a little afraid to answer.

Shi Ruzhuo realized that he was a bit fierce, tried to adjust, and said to Ge Xunqing, "Let me go."

When Ge Xunqing brought Shi Ruzhuo into the situation, she couldn't help feeling sore and uncomfortable. There was no reason to stop her, so she picked up a sword four times and said, "I'll go with you!"

Lu Fan sniffed the more and more intense scent in the wind, and saw the painted boat gradually approaching, feeling even more uneasy.

Because of the special and quite irritating smell, even if she forgot after smelling it once, she could quickly remember it when she smelled it again.

She told Tong Shaoxuan that when Wu Xianrong and Wu Xianrong went to save Kongniang at Bujia Industry Longan Wharf, the corner of her clothes was accidentally stained with a lot of oil, and when she smelled it, the smell was exactly the same as what she smells now , like fermented pear mixed with stone lacquer, and many complex and indescribable flavors.

Tong Shaoxuan listened to her description, and gradually felt the breath of fear from the wind that made her feel uneasy.

It's gunpowder!

It is also a very new type of gunpowder that is easy to store.

Tong Shaoxuan once considered upgrading the power of pepper bombs, so that it would not only be attractive to the mouth and nose, but also have a deadly explosive power.

At that time, she went to look for this new type of gunpowder, bought a little, tested it, and found that it was indeed very powerful.She is still weighing whether to use it? She didn't expect that this gunpowder has not had time to use it? On others, now she has to experience it herself...

"Sister-in-law, you said how many of these things did you see at Long'an Wharf?"

Lu Fan thought for a while and said: "I can't remember. I didn't pay attention to it at the time because I was going to save Kong Niang. But there is one thing I must remember correctly. All the cabins in Long'an Wharf Has a similar smell."

Tong Shaoxuan's heart became more serious: "...In other words, it is very likely that Lanwan will use the entire Long'an Wharf as a warehouse for storing gunpowder, and it's probably not just this one wharf."

Tang Jian snorted coldly: "Sure enough, Lan Wan has a second hand, I'm afraid she wants to use it? This gunpowder will blow up? The entire bridge over the moat. But, even if it blows up? Here, so what? Even if she counts as the emperor They will pass by here, but once they find something unusual, the emperor’s guard of honor will be withdrawn, and the cumbersome painting boat can still sail to the ground to chase after it?”

Tong Shaoxuan suddenly got an important inspiration from Tang Jianwei's words.

She immediately looked under the bridge hole lying on the moat, and sure enough, she saw a lot of wooden barrels of unknown origin piled up under the bridge at some time.The faint smell of these wooden barrels is exactly the same as the pungent smell of gunpowder on the oncoming painting boat.

so much gunpowder...

Tong Shaoxuan was dumbfounded.

She looked around. Although this place was not as full of restaurants on the south bank of the Moat River, and it was not crowded with people going out for a walk, there were still soldiers guarding Boling and those who were rushing to a safe place under the guard of the soldiers. civilian.

There are even reinforcements from the Changge Kingdom fighting bloody battles on the city wall.

If the painting boat hit the stone bridge, detonating the painting boat and the gunpowder under the bridge, I am afraid that the large area north of Boling will be blown into a big hole, and no one around will survive.

Tong Shaoxuan immediately ran towards the emperor's carriage, sending people to evacuate all the surrounding people while running. The guards retreated as soon as they could, their lives were at stake!

Seeing Tong Shaoxuan running over in a panic, Wei Xi had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Your Majesty, get out of here quickly, there is gunpowder here! It's extremely dangerous! If Lan Wan's boat hits it, the power of the gunpowder is enough to make no grass grow within a five-mile radius!"

Wei Xi and Tong Shaozhuo who came with Tong Shaoxuan suddenly froze when they heard this.

Wei Xi clasped the edge of the car window tightly, his face sullen.

Lan Wan is really heartbroken? She is insane, she wants to implicate so many innocent people.

Tong Shaozhuo, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, has heard military reports that are a hundred times more serious than what his sister said, so he quickly gathered his thoughts and said to Tong Shaoxuan: "Since? The boat also carries gunpowder. If it is on the water If it is detonated, can the power reach Boling City?

Tong Shaoxuan quickly replied: "Natural? Limited!"

The two sisters had a tacit understanding at this moment, and they smiled at the same time and said at the same time:

"Just tell the workshop to stop!"

"I'll go to the boat and kill Lan Wan, the old thief!" Tong Shaozhuo quickly got off the carriage, rolled up his sleeves and picked up his sword, ready to fight again.

Wei Xi was worried about her, but when he saw her heroic appearance, she had a unique charm that made people fascinated.

"Sister Wei, your Boling, I will protect you for you!"

Tong Shaozhuo let go of these affectionate words, and asked a team of guards to quickly lead the guards away from the stone bridge, and the other team tried to remove the wooden barrels under the stone bridge, and she chose some light skills. , followed her to find a way to fly to the painting workshop to stop Lan Wan.

However, the moat was dug very generously, which is completely the style of the prosperous age.The river is extremely wide, and even the nearest river bank is very far away from the boat. No matter how good the qinggong is, it may be difficult for someone to reach it. For a while, there are no boats around to borrow.

When Tong Shaozhuo was anxious, he saw a figure climbing up the city wall.

She looked up and saw that it was Tang Jianwei, Lu Fan and others.

Tang Jianwei held a hemp rope in his hand, ran to the city wall, and then used his strength to shake it. After making sure that the hemp rope was strong enough, he quickly tied one end of the hemp rope to the crenel, and wrapped the other end around his arms. Holding the hemp rope in both hands, he leaped out of the city wall lightly, fluttered in the air, and landed on the painting boat steadily using his light work.

Tang Jianwei, who has been walking in the sky in Boling since he was a child, stepped on the roofs of countless people, and finally realized a more ambitious ideal - stepping on the city wall.

Lu Fan followed closely behind him, and several slaves from the Tong Mansion jumped into the boat in the same way, and fought with the Lan family.

Tong Shaozhuo whispered "Okay" in his heart, Ah Nian's daughter-in-law is really wonderful!

She rushed up to the city wall with the people, followed the same way with a sway of her body.

Tong Shaoxuan, who was anxious at the side, called out, but no one paid attention to her.

Tong Shaoxuan stood on the city wall, staring helplessly at the height of a few feet below, and tried to swing down with the rope, but she just stepped on the edge of the city wall crenel. This height made her dizzy, and her legs felt a little dizzy. soft.

In the past, I just watched Ah Shen and the others fly up to the roof and had no choice but to jump down from the city wall and still couldn’t catch up.

How many times did Tong Shaoxuan make up her mind? If she can go back alive today, she must eat well and exercise well, so that she can catch up with her relatives and friends as soon as possible.

Lan Wan stood at the forefront of the painting boat, watching Tang Jianwei and others indifferently jumping down from the city wall, and at this moment they were fighting with the elite on the painting boat.

Lan Wan saw the woman who shot and killed the woman she loved all her life. She swung a sword and cut a bloody path, and stumbled to her.

Tang Jian panted slightly and faced Lan Wan.

She found that the person in front of her was indeed Lan Wan, but when she saw this person before, he was always calm and elegant, without any filth on his body, not even a single strand of hair was allowed to go wrong, and he did not see any A little bit of indecent attitude.

Lan Wan, who was standing in front of Tang Jianwei now, had sunken eye sockets and bloodshot eyes, her hair was parted in a bun, and her black hair was flying wildly in the wind.

She is still laughing.

Smile? And indulgence, let her cast a layer of inhuman terror and desperate madness.

"Tang Sanniang." Lan Wan was very relaxed without any weapon in her hand. She turned around and smiled at Tang Jian, "It's just in time. Look? Probably the best location."
