Chapter 451: The Importance of Last Strike
In the world of martial arts, gunpowder is probably the most foul weapon.
No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives.
No matter how indestructible the vajra is, in the face of enough gunpowder, the vajra body is as thin as paper.
Even if Ning Huan is as powerful as Ning Huan, who is basically standing at the upper limit of the martial arts realm, but facing the other party's carefully modified flintlock gun, even if he can show amazing performance such as cutting bullets with the sword, he will inevitably be shot in the end. Forced to engage in a life and death battle with Fang BuEr.
In fact, gunpowder was born very early, but the process of weaponization was very tortuous and long. At first, gunpowder was just pure gunpowder. Before the principle of explosion was fully clarified, gunpowder was at best used as a convenient material for ignition and arson. But with the research With the advancement of military technology and the development of military technology, guns and artillery began to slowly appear.
The Great Zhou Dynasty had the Shenji Battalion, which was a standard army specially formed with gunpowder weapons. Since there was a specialized army, the production of gunpowder became a top priority.
After all, if gunpowder is not stored properly and a fire occurs, it will be an earth-shattering event.
For example, Wang Gong Factory, Wang Gong Factory, and Wang Gong Factory.
If Xiao Shisan hadn't mentioned it, Xue Ling and Shang Jiuge would never have imagined that Yanlei Mountain was actually a place specifically used to store gunpowder in Bianliang.
So Dongchang must have chosen this place because of its steep terrain and its proximity to Bianliang for easy transfer.
On the other hand, it may be more convenient to destroy the corpse and deny any trace of the crime.
how to say?
As Xiao Shisan said before, if many things are not put on the table, then they are really innocuous, but if they are put on the table, it is a big deal that breaks the sky.
Dongchang pretended to be bandits and robbed the imperial merchants of the tribute they planned to pay to the court. If such a thing really got out, it would really cause an uproar in the whole court, and no one would be able to chop off many heads.
But if it spreads in a small area like this, God knows, the earth knows, you know and I know, this is a harmless thing.
So the key to the matter is that those who dare to do this have already had the consciousness to die in advance.
Xue Ling looked at the rapidly burning fire dragon. It was indeed remiss not to smell the smell of gunpowder before. But to be honest, the smell of gunpowder here is really very weak. What Xiao Shisan lit was probably after they came here. The gunpowder lines were set up in advance. Once ignited, the gunpowder stored in the entire Yanlei Mountain would be ignited.
By that time, it was really just a big fireworks display.
"Run!" Xue Ling said loudly, and at the same time grabbed Shang Jiuge and started running quickly towards the mountain gate.
At this time, no one cares about the White Tiger's auspiciousness. Nothing is more important than his own life.
To be honest, Xue Ling didn't even have the confidence to survive a gunpowder explosion of this level. Or to be honest, if the gunpowder really exploded under his feet, it would be a fatal situation.
Not to mention glass cannons like Shang Jiuge. As a person in the world, being blown up by gunpowder for no reason like this is probably the most miserable way to die.
Seeing the backs of Xue Ling and Shang Jiuge escaping quickly, Xiao Shisan laughed loudly on the spot: "Escape quickly, the sooner the better."
He himself had no intention of leaving at all. When the operation failed, Xiao Shisan 3. Since you can't kill people and silence them, you can only destroy all evidence, just like a fire burning a warehouse, leaving a vast white land. Only after erasing all the evidence can those who are still alive be able to survive better.
In fact, he knew very well that he could not escape no matter what.
With the burning speed of gunpowder, it will soon ignite the barrels of gunpowder stored in the basement. These gunpowder will eventually explode and knock off the entire top of Yanlei Mountain.
No one could survive such an explosion.
This is the final meal Xiao Shisan prepares for all the uninvited guests.
He once thought he had no chance to complete such a final curtain call, but two kind-hearted girls gave him time to complete the performance.
So looking at their backs running away in a hurry, Xiao Shisan was really happy.
It was an almost visceral happiness.
He laughed wildly as the gunpowder burned, waiting for the arrival of the explosion he dreamed of.
Since it cannot be obtained, then destroy them all.
Since someone doesn't want them to live, then let's all die together.
Such a world is a fair world.
At this time, Xiao Shisan heard a lazy young man's voice coming from behind him: "Don't you feel that the gunpowder is burning a bit slowly?" Yes, the gunpowder is burning a bit slowly
.
According to Xiao Shisan's estimation, in fact, now, no, actually just now, it should have exploded. If it dragged on, then the two women might really be able to escape the center of the explosion, and they might still be able to save their lives.
And - who is talking to me?
Xiao Shisan turned around in surprise and saw an ordinary young man's face.
He held a sharp dagger in his left hand, stretched it out as if nothing had happened, and then stabbed himself in the heart.
His right hand was wrapped in a white bandage.
"You see, both Lin Xue and Shang Jiuge don't like last-hitting." "
Honestly, this is a bad habit."
... Guo Sheng was alone in the room, counting the tea leaves in the cup. . The tea is from Xinyang Maojian. Emerald green swirls in the tea. Just like Guo Sheng said before, his family has several large tracts of fine tea. In addition to offering it to the royal family and selling it to various parts of China, he can also separate out the best tea for his own enjoyment. But now Guo Sheng looked at the tea leaves in the cup and had no intention of tasting the tea. Some people say that watching the final dance of the tea leaves in the boiling water is also a form of divination, so now Guo Sheng wants to know what is going on over there. Although Fang Bie had agreed with him for ten days, Guo Sheng really had an unreasonable confidence in Fang Bie. Because this young man has never breached the promise he made. Therefore, getting Jibu Yinuo is worth a thousand pieces of gold. But I have to make a promise. I'm afraid even ten thousand dollars can't stop it. Fang Don't say that he will help him find those lost things, then he will definitely be able to find them back. The key depends on when they are found. Guo Sheng believes it will be soon, and hopes that the sooner the better. At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door. "Who?" Guo Sheng raised his head and asked. "Master, it's me." The voice of the steward in green came from outside the door: "Eunuch Rui from the palace is here." " He named the white tiger and white snake that the master mentioned in the previous gift list." Is he here so soon? Guo Sheng looked at the tea leaves swirling in the cup.
Sure enough, some people can smell the fishy smell.
"Tell him I'm changing."
"I'll be there soon." Guo Sheng said this and drank all the tea in the cup.
Then get up.
