Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 218: Breakthrough
On the morning of the third day, the sergeant guarding the gate of Shouchun City found two large carts of charcoal at the gate of the city. Shouchun City was originally located in the south, and now it is the season of late spring and early summer. In this season, every household burns wood, and even the big households in the city will not use such a large amount of charcoal.
And when I asked what the charcoal was used for, the person who delivered the charcoal couldn't tell, but said that someone in the city had ordered these two trucks of charcoal. But it's unclear who made the decision. At the moment, the soldiers guarding the city wanted to detain these two carts of charcoal, and let the orderer go to the government office in the city to declare the use of the charcoal.
I didn't expect that after the charcoal transporters heard it, they scattered in a hurry, not even wanting the two large carts of charcoal. There was nothing wrong with this at first, but then it became strange. The moment was at a critical juncture between the Seven Kingdoms and the imperial court, and the soldiers guarding the city gate did not dare to be careless, and reported the matter directly to the Huainan Palace.
After hearing that the two large carts of charcoal were impounded, Wu Mian and the King of Huainan had nothing to do, but they laughed for a while if they didn't return. After laughing, he said to himself: "It's not slow to learn, but it's a pity, I don't know what time it is now, if it's winter, it's almost done."
To the King of Huainan, he said: "Your Highness, please send someone to check if there are still saltpeter and sulphur transported to Shouchun City in the past two days. If the old man didn't make a mistake and guessed wrong, those two things should be hidden. In a private house not far from the palace..."
The matter was the same as Guess who had returned, and in a private house outside the palace, more than 100 catties of saltpeter and more than 200 catties of sulfur were found. The owner of this private house turned out to be a servant in the palace of Huainan Wangfu, but this servant was not very courageous. After being intimidated by the return, he was sent to the Huainan Wangfu by Wu Wang Liu Bi to investigate the matter. put out. At the moment, Xiao Liuxi, the king of Huainan, was going to behead this little servant in front of the palace gate, but before the execution, he was stopped by the return of no return: "His Royal Highness, keep this person first, there is just a fun little thing to show you. Look."
At the moment, everyone returned to the courtyard of the palace, and they took a little charcoal, saltpeter, and sulfur each. After crushing him into powder, he stirred it together, and poured it into a dry bronze wine bar. Then use a tin plate to fasten it to the wine bar, leaving only a small gap. After all the preparations were done, the old guy came to a candle, smiled and said to Xiao Liuxi, the king of Huainan: "Your Highness, please stand back, now is the time to witness the magical skill. Then who, come here... look. Who is it, just you... find a grass stick to draw out the flame, and then light the flame along the small hole. Don't be afraid, it's fun..."
While speaking, the old guy handed the candle in his hand to the little servant who was escorted over. After loosening him, Gui Bugui also covered his ears and stepped back far away.
The little maid originally knew that he was going to die, but now he's fighting it out. Immediately, as Guibugui taught, he picked up a small straw stick on the ground, and after drawing out the flames, he stuck his head out and put the flames into the small gap above the wine baron. Just as the flames ignited the powder mixture, with a bang, the bronze wine bar suddenly exploded. The body of the little waiter was leaning forward to stare at the wine lord, and most of the power of the explosion was borne by him.
With a scream, the king of Wu, Liu Bi, fell to the ground on his back. His upper body was dripping with blood. Both eyes were blown blind, and the whole face was a piece of blood. A big hole was blown out in his chest, and blood kept gushing out. The onlookers were all terrified for a while, and they didn't understand how it was just a little powder of charcoal, sulfur and saltpeter, how could it have such great power. Although it was no secret that King Wu concocted the alchemy fryer at that time, it was only at this time that these people understood the terrible scene of the fryer at that time.
After watching Zantan's breath, Guibugui said to the pale-faced Huainan King Xiao Liuxi: "His Royal Highness, just now the old man's amount added up to less than two taels. The amount of charcoal, saltpeter and sulfur that came in was several hundred kilograms..."
This sentence awakened Liu Xi, who didn't expect King Wu to play so much this time. At the moment when the King of Huainan issued the imperial decree, the four gates of Shouchun City were closed, and they began to randomly check suspicious outsiders from house to house. As long as they are not local people in Shouchun City, they will all be imprisoned in the government office. Only after the local people and local security guards are guaranteed, can these outsiders be released. However, once it is found that there are fine works sent from other countries, the people who take in the fine works will all sit together.
To tell the truth, these later generations became the raw materials for explosives and were not used to target the Huainan King. After Guangxiao's master and apprentice left, King Wu had almost no capital to work with Wu Mian and Gui Bugui. Although Guangxiao once said at that time that 80% of the techniques for returning to or not to return are already empty, even if there is only that white-haired Wu Mian, this matter is extremely tricky.
However, King Wu has already issued a royal decree, and the monks who were sent out will not do anything, and that's why the monks who had experienced the explosion of the pill furnace had this idea. First find a way to blow up Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and others. When there is only one child of the King of Huainan left, it will be the fish meat on the board.
Knowing that the charcoal was seized by officers and soldiers before it could be transported into the city, half of the monks fled silently on the spot. The world is so big that there is more than one king of Wu, why bother working for him? When the saltpeter and sulphur in the city behind were also found, and the people who corresponded in the palace were also found, less than one third of King Wu's loyalists remained here.
However, these people are monks with Taoism, and naturally they will not be discovered by the official army. However, there was too much movement in Shouchun City, and now these King Wu's die-hards decided to attack the Huainan Palace tonight. If you really want to say what Hiroshi Hiroshi said, the magic of no return is already empty, then it is easy to handle. As long as you find a few big monks (thinking) to entangle Wu Mian, it is not impossible for the rest to force Xiao Liuxi to hand over the pill recipe and pill furnace.
That night, a dozen monks suddenly rushed into the Huainan Palace. They first beat the guards in front of the door with magic, and then swarmed into the palace. These people were already familiar with the map in the palace. After entering, they rushed directly to the bedroom of King Huainan.
Although I encountered some resistance along the way, it was not worth mentioning in the eyes of these monks. When they rushed to the courtyard outside the dormitory, the cultivator was not injured. Now only these cultivators are divided into two teams, one team goes to entangle Wu Mian and Gui, the other team directly controls Xiao Liu Xi, gets Dan Fang and Dan Furnace and uses the Five Elements Escape Method to leave. Seeing that the great work was about to be completed, things began to deviate a little.
When Mr. Ming Jue and the twin brothers rushed into Wu Mian's dormitory, they did see Wu Mian with white hair, who was already lying in his clothes. However, before they started, the room next to Xiao Liuxi, which was supposed to be Xiao Liuxi, became a mess first. You shouldn't need to make such a big noise to catch a child who doesn't have any magic skills, right?
Just when the few of them were puzzled, a wall connecting the Huainan King's bedroom suddenly collapsed. Then I saw a figure thrown over from the next door. This person looked familiar, and he was one of the few monks who rushed in with him. Then I heard a funny voice: "I know you are coming, Yan Jie has been waiting for a long time..."
Yan Jie! This person disappeared after returning to Shouchun City with King Huainan. Because he was also implicated in the fake Wentianlou case during Emperor Wen's time, they thought he had found a place where no one was there to hide. Unexpectedly, this 'alchemist' of the same period as Xu Fu has been hidden in the Huainan palace all the time, and no rumors have leaked out.
The appearance of Yan Jie almost shattered the little hope of the cultivators who broke into the mansion. With him and Wu Mian guarding in the Huainan Palace, even if the Wu Wang cultivators in their heyday (not counting Guangxiao's master and apprentice) came out of their nests, they would not be the opponents of the two people working together...
At this time, Wu Mian sat up from the bed, looked at these pale monks and said, "You can commit suicide, then I will forgive you..."
