The growth strategy of the emperor who wears books

In the depths of the mine, Xie Lingshuang led his subordinates to surround a group of people in a hidden cave. There were only a dozen or so people on the other side, and they were not of extraordinary skill, so they killed and injured them not long after. Mostly.

In the end, only the one-eyed middle-aged man and a gray-clothed guard were left. Xie Lingshuang took a longbow from his subordinate, aimed at the one-eyed man and shot. Before, the guard was shot in the heart, a look of astonishment was frozen in his eyes, and then he lost his breath forever.

"I'm going to catch you without a fight." Xie Lingshuang looked at this sinister man and said in a cold voice.

The man seemed to be desperate, but he was still slowly backing away. If you looked closely, you would find that he was walking obliquely, as if he was plotting something, but Xie Lingshuang observed his movements carefully, and also I didn't find any strange behaviors from him, and gradually, the one-eyed man retreated to the wall, and when he was leaning against the wall, something happened.

——The wall behind the man suddenly slid to one side, and in a blink of an eye, he entered another space.

When Gao Hu was about to close the stone door, he quickly dodged over and stuck the door in the middle without any communication. The moment he blocked the stone door, Xie Lingshuang chased after him, and then kicked a hand inside. The one-eyed man who controls the door.

After the one-eyed man was kicked away by him, Xie Lingshuang held the switch and turned it half a turn in the opposite direction. Sure enough, the door that was supposed to be closed was reopened.

Gao Hu swarmed in with the remaining brothers.

Only then did Xie Lingshuang have time to look at the situation in this independent mine.

In an artificial cave with an area of ​​about [-] square meters, there are many black wooden boxes piled up under one wall, reddish-brown wooden boxes under one wall, and brown jumbo sacks piled up to the top of the cave under another wall.

Gao Hu walked over to study a reddish-brown wooden box, and after guessing that there was nothing special about it, he pulled out the sword at his waist and split the copper lock on the wooden box. The second he opened it, he couldn't help but fall Take a breath.

——Inside the wooden box was a box full of silver.

After a brief moment of stupefaction, he asked people to open the other boxes accordingly. One box after another was full of white silver, while the black wooden box over there looked the same from the outside. The special material was tightly wrapped, and when the layer of packaging was unpacked, there were black particles inside.

Gao Hu poked in the box with the point of his sword, frowned and said, "What is this?"

Xie Lingshuang threw the one-eyed man in his hand to a guard, and also walked over to observe, pondering for a while, with a puzzled look on his face.

The two exchanged glances, but Xie Lingshuang shifted his gaze to the face of the one-eyed man again and asked, "What is this thing?"

The one-eyed man snorted coldly and looked away.

"Yo, you have a lot of backbone!" Xie Lingshuang taunted him, then walked over, very suddenly, suddenly kicked the one-eyed man's abdomen, the man groaned and bowed in pain.

In the next second, Xie Lingshuang's sword crossed the one-eyed man's neck and cut through the other's skin. A bloody gash appeared on the man's neck. It was quite deep, and the blood flowed out instantly.

The threat of death made the one-eyed man's back tense for a moment, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

Xie Lingshuang said: "I'll give you another chance, do you want to say it or not?"

The one-eyed man panicked and said, "Tell me, I'll just say it."

When Xie Lingxiao heard this, the sword across the man's neck loosened a little.

The one-eyed man looked at the opened box and said, "This is a very expressive thing, and it will undergo interesting changes when it encounters fire."

Xie Lingshuang said: "What change?"

The one-eyed man thought about it for a while, and it seemed a little hard to put it into words, and he said after a while: "This can only be understood, but it can't be explained in words, but I just need to demonstrate it for you to understand."

Xie Lingshuang touched the sharp blade of the long sword lightly with her fingertips, and said: "If you dare to play tricks, your head will fall to the ground immediately."

The one-eyed man said: "There are so many people waiting for you, what kind of tricks can a villain play?"

Xie Lingshuang thought about it, so she carried him to the big black wooden box.

The one-eyed man grabbed a handful of the black particles inside, and then slowly sprinkled it on the ground to form a circle. Then, he stretched his hand into his arms.

Xie Lingshuang drew his sword with a swipe.

The one-eyed man immediately raised his hands, and in the palm of his right hand was a small bamboo tube.

Xie Lingshuang took it over and inspected it, and found that it was just an ordinary fire book, but she still asked, "What are you going to do?"

The one-eyed man explained: "This thing needs to be lit with fire."

Xie Lingshuang thought for a while, waved for the military doctor, asked him to check, and confirmed that the black ignorance on the ground was not some kind of incense, and then allowed the one-eyed man to continue.

The one-eyed man took the torch and blew on it, then lit the things on the ground.

The black particles turned into sparkling sparks in an instant, and traveled a circle of light in a blink of an eye, which was really amazing in the dark cave.

Xie Lingshuang was also somewhat surprised by this scene.

The one-eyed man said: "Why, this thing is extremely beautiful."

Xie Lingshuang could hear the complacency in his tone, and immediately put on a straight face: "That's what you said about the magic, it's nothing more than that."

The one-eyed man said: "Then the general is wrong, how could it be just like this."

"Oh?" Xie Lingshuang said, "What else?"

The one-eyed man slowly blew on the fire bag in his hand again, turning the fire inside into an open flame, and then slowly put it on the whole box of black particles.

Xie Lingshuang looked at his actions, although he was puzzled, but inexplicably had a bad premonition in his heart: "What are you doing?"

A strange smile suddenly appeared on the one-eyed man's face.

With a flip of Xie Lingshuang's wrist, the long sword was about to rest on the one-eyed man's neck again.

"Stop—" the one-eyed man snapped suddenly.

Xie Lingshuang said: "Looking for death!"

The one-eyed man let out a wicked laugh, and when the laughter stopped, he said sinisterly: "Even if you want to die, it's worth it if you can bring so many people to the funeral."

Xie Lingshuang frowned and said, "What do you want to say?"

The one-eyed man reached into the big wooden box with one hand, grabbed a handful of the black particles and slowly sprinkled them down from the height, and then said: "Don't you want to know what this thing is, I'll tell you now You, this thing is called gunpowder. If such a box is ignited, it can blow up the entire mountain. As long as I light the fire, not only me, you, but also those outside will see Yan Lord."

After he said these words, everyone present changed their faces, Gao Hu shouted angrily, and said, "Boss, don't listen to this grandson's nonsense, I have never heard of such a thing in the world."

The one-eyed man sneered and said, "Then you guys can try it."

Xie Lingshuang was silent for a long time, and said: "Tell me, what are your conditions." Although the authenticity of this person's words needs to be verified, he cannot risk the lives of so many people.

The one-eyed man said: "Tell these people to step aside, and you too."

"Okay." Xie Lingshuang responded, and then waved to get all the subordinates he brought aside.

The one-eyed man took off his coat with one hand, then quickly stuffed the gunpowder into the clothes, and finally tied it up and carried it on his chest.

Xie Lingshuang stood at the cave door and watched him do all this with cold eyes, frowning tightly.

Obviously, this person wanted to use this "gunpowder" as his amulet to get out of the mine.

But did he just let him escape?Xie Lingshuang has a fiery temper, and she was already unhappy when she was played by others, but seeing the one-eyed man's appearance, she felt even more depressed, and her brows became more and more wrinkled.

Just when he was so depressed, someone behind him suddenly patted his shoulder.

Xie Lingxiao was taken aback for a moment, and turned his head sharply while holding the sword.

When he saw that it was Wen Jue, he said unhappily: "You still know, I also said that you forgot what you did tonight.

Wen Jue explained: "Some things happened temporarily."

Xie Lingshuang said: "You are the only one who has a lot to do."

Wen Jue didn't continue, and turned to look at the one-eyed man not far away: "What's going on?"

Xie Lingshuang pointed to the big box, and said in a low voice: "This guy said it was some kind of gunpowder, which could blow up the whole mountain. I was afraid that the grandson would do something, so I had to agree to let him go out. Whether this is true or not, first stabilize... what expression do you have?"

As Xie Lingshuang was talking, seeing that Wen Jue's complexion had also changed, he was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What's your reaction? Have you heard of gunpowder before? It's really so powerful."

"I saw it in a miscellaneous journal before, and what he said is indeed true." Wen Jue said with a mix of truth and falsehood.

Xie Lingshuang didn't realize how serious this matter was at first, but after hearing what he said, cold sweat broke out immediately.

Fortunately, he was not impulsive, otherwise everyone would be done playing now!

Xie Lingshuang still had lingering fears, but she saw that the people behind her had regained their composure, and slowly put their hands into their sleeves, looking extraordinarily leisurely.

"Hey, why don't you look worried at all?"

Wen Jue said, "What is there to worry about?"

Xie Lingshuang snorted: "It's easy for you to talk about the lives of so many people."

As a modern person, it is impossible for him to be less aware of human life than these ancient people who were ups and downs in life and death. Does Wen Jue really not care?No, he cared after all, but maybe his character is like this, the more nervous he is, the calmer he will be.

After the one-eyed man was ready, he walked towards the exit with a vigilant face. When he reached the door, he found Wen Jue. Looking at the man's silent eyes, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of unease , so he raised his finger to Wen Jue, and said arrogantly: "Get out of the way, get out of the way."
