The sky-high fire did not mean to extinguish even under the dripping rain, Yang Xingben wiped the rain on his face, and his face showed a complicated expression.

Just half an hour ago, the rebels broke through several camps under the cover of heavy rain, and seeing that even the powder magazine was about to be lost, Qing Xuzi set fire to the large powder magazine at the critical moment, and a violent explosion occurred inside the Chinese army camp in an instant.

Tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder turned into huge fireballs in a very short period of time, and even the rain could not help it. The rebels were caught off guard, the dead and wounded were not counted, and the living were frightened by this hellish scene on earth and fled in all directions.

"What are you talking about? louder, I can't hear it......"

At this moment, Yang Xingben's ears were still buzzing, and the generals reported the military situation to him, but he couldn't hear a word clearly.

The explosion was so sudden that at that moment he felt the ground shake, as if the world was about to collapse. But the ensuing explosion and the skyrocketing fire made him realize that this was not a hole in the ground, but a powder magazine that had been set on fire.

Qin Jin looked at Yang Xingben and shouted hard, and all he heard in his ears was a non-stop buzzing sound. He, like Yang Xingben, couldn't hide his ears under the sudden huge explosion.

"Where is Qingxuzi?"

Qin Jin asked questions to the generals again and again. At that time, seeing that the rebels had captured the powder magazine, Qing Xuzi only said to dispose of the gunpowder, but he didn't expect it to be such a disposal method.

"Returning to the doctor, the vicinity of the powder magazine has long been razed to the ground, and the real person of Qingxuzi does not know whether he is alive or dead now!"

Qin Jin closed his eyes with great pity, he also knew that under such a violent explosion, there was no one in ten thousand who could survive, and he couldn't imagine that this product, which has always been a bit of a profit-seeker and avoided disadvantages, could actually do such an earth-shattering event.

"Find, find me, I want to see people alive, and corpses when I die!"

It's one thing to be able to find it, it's another thing to make the clearest statement. People like Qing Xuzi who sacrifice their egos, the court will definitely have some posthumous seals in the future, if they don't fight for what they deserve now, there will be no evidence in the future, and many people are afraid that they will die in vain.

Therefore, Qin Jin expressed that he attached great importance to this matter, but it was just for the living.

At this time, Qin Jin also didn't care about the danger of the battlefield, and took dozens of personal guards to patrol around the fire point in the camp, hoping to find those who survived. However, those who were found were basically dead. Moreover, a large proportion of the dead belonged to the rebels.

The fact that the rebels withdrew like this was a big surprise.

In the few attacks before the explosion, these rebels fought extremely tenacious, and could even be described as strong, but who would have expected that their offensive would collapse in the blink of an eye.

In addition to cleaning up the fire and disposing of the bodies of the dead, Qin Jin did not stop much near the Chinese army, but took people to close the gap in the wall that was opened after the rebels rushed in.

After careful combing by the Shenwu Army, more than half of the rebels in the camp were dead, and a small half of them were stunned by the violent explosion because they didn't know if they were lucky.

According to Yang Xingben's meaning, he simply killed all these people, and saved trouble. However, Qin Jin had another opinion, the number of these people who fell into a coma and became captives was not much, and leaving them alive might not have unexpected gains in the future.

For the sake of safety, Qin Jin did not send people to chase down the rebels who had gone away, and after sealing the wall destroyed by the rebels, he concentrated on handling the affairs of the camp, and the first priority was to move all the dead bodies out of the barracks as soon as possible, and the corpses were all buried, and the rebels were piled up into a hill and burned.

Looking at the mess, Qin Jin also had mixed feelings in his heart, on the surface, it seemed that the Shenwu Army had successfully thwarted the rebels' conspiracy, but in the heart, did the Shenwu Army really win? The answer was obviously no, they even had the Chinese army camp almost razed to the ground, how could it be called a victory?

After a long time, Qin Jin's hearing gradually recovered, and he discussed loudly with Yang Xingben:

"Erlang, you take someone to search again, don't miss the living!"

Yang Xing was able to leave with his life, but as soon as he left on his front foot, a soldier came to report on his back foot:

"Found it, found ......"

Qin Jin only felt confused, and subconsciously asked:

'What was found?'

"Qingxu is a real person!"

I didn't expect that the fire would burn into this virtue, and Qingxuzi would still be able to leave a whole corpse. He shook his head and waved his hand, and said in a low voice:

"Let's bury them, and in the future, I will ask Your Majesty for merit for them!"

The soldier hesitated for a moment, and then explained:

"No, no, no, Qingxu Zhenren is not dead, it's just that he was too close and was stunned by a violent explosion!"

Hearing this news, Qin Jin was a little excited and uncontrollable, he thought that Qing Xuzi was dead, and he would lose a forerunner with considerable practical ability in firearms research, but he had thought that it was a false alarm.

"Let's go, go see him!"

"Doctor, Qingxu Zhenren has woken up, and he is already outside the camp gate at this time!"

This was greatly beyond Qin Jin's expectations, it was already a miracle that he didn't die under the violent explosion, and because he was too close to the explosion site, he was shocked to death in an instant, and the injuries on his body must not be light, how can he walk freely now?

When Qing Xuzi appeared in front of Qin Jin and Yang Xingben, although the whole person was still alive, his face was extremely embarrassed. The already sloppy robe has almost reached the point of being inadequate, the eyebrows and mustache on his face have been burned by fire, and although his hair is still there, it is also scorched.

"You old way, if you don't die in a catastrophe, you will have a blessing in the future!"

didn't ask Qin Jin to speak, Yang Xingben suddenly said such a sentence.

A hint of surprise flashed in Qing Xuzi's eyes, it is said that he and Yang Xingben have never dealt with each other, and now that he is unlucky, the other party should be excited, why don't you see him show a smile at all?

However, he quickly relieved this thought, the contradictions between him and Yang Xingben were just a matter of sesame mung beans, and they seemed to be nothing in front of the big right and wrong.

And what Qin Jin wanted to ask most at this time was why Qing Xuzi was able to avoid death under the violent explosion, could he still have any extraordinary special functions? He originally didn't believe in these things, but such a strange thing could happen when he was pitiful, even if Qing Xuzi said that he knew Taoism and had special functions, it might not be fake.

However, the answer given by Qing Xuzi was far beyond Qin and Yang's expectations.

"Let's be honest, since the day the village was established, Poor Dao has been prepared for the unexpected when he placed the powder magazine, and Poor Dao will not die thanks to this advance preparation!"

At this time, Yang Xingben remembered to ask the soldiers who were supporting Qing Xuzi.

"Tell me, where did you find the real people?"

"Back to the general's words, when we found the real person, the real person had already been buried in most of the earth and rock!"

However, Qing Xuzi waved his hand again and again, shook his head and said:

"No, no, the poor road is not buried, it is a hidden pit of the poor road, but the covering on the pit has been shattered by a violent explosion. ”

It turned out that Qing Xuzi had been prepared early in the morning in case of an accident, and the deep pit not far from the powder magazine had also been dug in advance, and he really didn't expect that these preparations would be useful one day.

After listening to Qing Xuzi's story, Qin Jin almost suspected that Qing Xuzi was also a person who had crossed over, otherwise how could he know all the characteristics and situations of gunpowder?

"Oh, wait, wait...... Poor Dao has several broken ribs......"

The soldiers supporting Qing Xuzi moved a little big, and Qing Xuzi immediately inhaled the cold air violently, and screamed in his mouth.

Yang Xingben actually joked with him at this time.

"With this practice, Qingxu Zhenren will improve in the future, and there will be no need to break his ribs again!"

Unexpectedly, Qingxuzi snorted three times in a row!

"Good spirits, bad spirits, General Yang can't joke about this matter, how embarrassing it is for the Chinese army camp of our Shenwu Army to be bombed again!"

Qin Jin also said:

"It's not, it's still bombed by your own people!"

In fact, Qing Xuzi blew up the powder magazine, which had a miraculous effect on the progress of the battle, and the rebel army, which was originally overwhelming, collapsed. After a rough count, thousands of rebels died in the explosion, and the vast majority of them were suffocated to death by the sudden hot smoke entering the lungs, and not many actually died directly from the explosion.

Another part is that the rebels who were not killed by the bombing, but were shocked and passed out. The number of these people is as small as it is not small, and it is roughly in the thousands.

Combined, these two numbers are definitely not a small number for the rebels who attacked the Chinese camp tonight, and it is no wonder that they have collapsed and never returned.

The captured rebels woke up one after another, and found that they had become prisoners in a daze, and it was difficult for them to accept this reality, and many even broke out immediately. But they were weak after all, and how could they be the opponents of the Shenwu Army's soldiers, they were quickly subdued. Moreover, a large part of the captives were wounded, and even if they had the heart to resist, they were powerless.

After quelling the riots of the captives, Yang Xingben proposed again to kill these people.

Qin Jin thought about it for a while, and felt that he had thought a little too much before, and it was really redundant to leave these people to be alive, but it added a lot of unpredictable troubles to them, so he simply agreed.

Yang Xingben immediately ordered the prisoners to be escorted out of the barracks, and the prisoners were not stupid and understood their situation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see the sun tomorrow alive.

There are soft bones everywhere, even the fierce rebels, many of whom are lying on the ground and reluctant to leave, trying to delay the arrival of that moment. What kind of person is Yang Xingben, how could he be held back by this trick? He glanced at him slightly, and a soldier rushed forward like a fierce god......
