！ Shi Xing kowtowed twice, didn't dare to get up, knelt on the ground and said: "Long live, the criminal minister was ordered to count the arsenal today, but found that Shen Chen, the secretary of the arsenal, was letting people take buckets of water and pour them on the gunpowder. Shi Xing's words immediately caused a lot of uproar, and there were all exchanges of heads and loud scolding.

"Bastard, where is Shen Chen?" The emperor scolded.

"The criminal has arrested him, and he is now being held outside the palace, listening to the fate of the emperor!"

"Come on, immediately push Shen Chen out of the noon gate and abandon the city!" The emperor didn't bother to look at Shen Chen, and made an order in a deep voice. An attendant immediately went to deliver the decree.

I waited for the emperor to calm down for a while, and said to Shi Xing: "Master Shi, you have counted, how much gunpowder is available?" ”

"Lord Hui, the lower officials have already counted, and only more than 10,500 catties are available, and the rest are all soaked in water."

More than 10,000 catties? What is enough? The artillery is two or three catties in one shot, and there are so many guns, how long can such ignition of gunpowder be supported? If there were no firearms, wouldn't the defenders of the city be completely suppressed by the firearms in the hands of the rebels?

I said, "Can the soaked gunpowder be used after drying?" ”

Shi Xing wiped the sweat stains on his forehead and said, "Yes, it's just that the gunpowder is soaked very strictly, and I'm afraid it will take a long time to dry before it can be reused." ”

"That's good!" I breathed a sigh of relief and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the imperial horse supervisor is about to leave the city, and the barracks and school grounds are vacant. ”

"Accurate!"

"Master Shi has been in the Arsenal Clearance Division for a long time, and he is well versed in the performance of gunpowder, please spare his life for the time being, and order him to be responsible for drying gunpowder and make the merit for his crimes!"

The emperor nodded: "For the sake of Wang Aiqing's intercession for you, your head will be left on your neck for the time being, if you dare to make the slightest mistake, I will let you suffer the punishment of Ling Chi." ”

"Thank you for your kindness...... Emperor Xie Kai ...... "Shi Xing thought that he would not escape death, but he didn't expect to be in a desperate situation, and tears flowed down inexplicably.

"Hurry up and do it, if you delay the defense of the city, I will kill you all over the house!"

"Yes, yes! The sinners are retired! Shi Xing kowtowed heavily and got up to leave.

"Come on, transfer a hundred brocade guards to monitor him, if he has the slightest difference, you don't need to ask for an order, kill him on the spot!"

It seems that the emperor doesn't trust Shi Xing, too, the Arsenal Clearance Division has just had such an incident, who knows if Shen Chen is the scapegoat he pushed out?

The emperor was still angry, looked at everyone, and said, "Okay, let's all go down and prepare to defend the city!" ”

"Wait for the resignation!" The group bid farewell to the emperor and came out.

"Lord Deng!" I stopped Deng Zhengrong and said, "Lord Annoyance take me to the arsenal to have a look!" ”

"Yes, please come with your subordinates!"
