In the middle of the night, a huge explosion shook the entire imperial capital!

Gu Qishao jumped up, and he didn't know where the gunpowder exploded, and when he saw that the Han family was fine, he lay down again.

He has never had so much curiosity, nor has he had so much leisure to meddle in things, whether it is the chaos of Emperor Tianning, or the chaos of the entire Tianning Kingdom, or the chaos of the Yunkong Continent, it has nothing to do with him at all.

The memories of his childhood were interrupted, and he would never continue, except for midnight dreams, and it was absolutely impossible for him to think about them when he was awake.

He looked at the stars, and the stars were also reflected in his clear and bright eyes, his world was quiet, but Tianning Kingdom began a turbulent era with this loud sound!

Han Yunxi, who was sleeping deeply, was awakened, she thought she was having a nightmare at first, but when she heard the commotion outside, she knew that something was wrong.

The explosion was so loud that the houses in the imperial capital shook, and there was no doubt that the explosion was near the imperial capital, and it may even be in the imperial capital.

The explosion of the Tianyu Black Market has caused panic in the imperial capital, let alone such a close explosion?

Han Yunxi hurriedly went out and found that the Han family was all awakened, and there was a commotion on the street outside.

"Xu Donglin, Xu Donglin, you come out!" Han Yunxi shouted, she knew that there were secret guards around.

Sure enough, Xu Donglin immediately appeared, "Princess Niangniang, aren't you scared, do you want to go back to the palace?" It's safe there. ”

"What's going on?" Han Yunxi asked seriously.

"The subordinates don't know, His Highness has ordered his subordinates to guard every inch." Xu Donglin is obviously lying, and he can't talk to His Royal Highness King Qin in terms of his position in the secret guard!

Han Yunxi didn't have time to expose his lies, she said anxiously, "This matter is very strict, you hurry up and go to the Qin Palace, take a look at the situation on His Highness's side, and inquire where the explosion happened." ”

Xu Donglin was in a hurry at this time, and ordered the other secret guards to guard this place and leave immediately.

"Where's the gunpowder?"

Han Yunxi frowned and thought about it, he was really afraid that the search of the whole city would force the Chu family's gang to be anxious, and they used the gunpowder case to bite Long Feiye back.

In addition to General Mu's Mansion, the Chu family also has gunpowder in their hands.

At this time, Long Feiye had just returned to the Qin Palace, and he was also shocked by this incident.

"Your Highness, it's not far from the armory on the outskirts of the western part of the city." The Dark Guard found out as soon as possible.

"Armory...... Interesting, in the end. ”

Long Feiye's eyes flashed with complicated colors, and he was silent for a moment and ordered, "Tell Chu Xifeng, this king will retreat for two days, and send more people to watch over the Han family." ”

After he finished speaking, he entered the dormitory, and did not say a word about the explosion just now.

With such a big matter, doesn't His Royal Highness King Qin have an opinion?

The dark guard was curious, but he didn't dare to ask, and hurriedly went to Chu Xifeng.

The entire imperial capital is brightly lit, whether it is the common people or the royal nobles, they are all panicking, of course, the most panicked is the Emperor Tianhui.

He was in the imperial study to inquire about the defection of General Mu and Mu Qingwu's forbidden army, who knew that suddenly there was an explosion, and the tea cup in his hand was so shocked that it shattered on the ground.

General Mu immediately decided to send someone to investigate, and at this time, the room was silent.

Emperor Tianhui was sitting in a precarious position, his hands pressed on the armrests, and his cold face was very tight.

Since the explosion, he has allowed General Mu to send people to investigate, and he has not said a word. In front of him, the crown prince Long Tianmo, General Mu, and Mu Qingwu all lowered their heads, and their faces were more ugly than the other.

Not to mention who caused this explosion, when such a thing happened in the imperial capital, Mu Qingwu, who was also the commander of the forbidden army and was responsible for guarding the imperial capital and the palace, could not escape the blame.

In particular, before the explosion, Emperor Tianhui had just reprimanded Mu Qingwu for the defection of the forbidden army, and this kind of thing happened again at this sensitive juncture, can Emperor Tianhui not investigate Mu Qingwu's dereliction of duty?

The room was silent, Emperor Tianhui's breathing was very heavy, and Long Tianmo and the Mu family's father and son were all frightened and uneasy.

The guards haven't come back yet, it's not clear what the hell is going on here, who can not be nervous?

Of course, the most nervous was Long Tianmo, who was faintly uneasy.

In the past two or three days, he and Mu Qingwu have put a lot of effort into convincing the emperor that the crossbow archers are related to the black market gunpowder case, and they are all threatening the imperial capital.

But I don't know who blew the wind in the emperor's ears, and Emperor Tianhui actually summoned the Mu family's father and son into the palace overnight to inquire in detail about the rebellion of the forbidden army.

The forbidden army defected, the young commander was stabbed to death by Mu Qingwu, and the two captains were imprisoned and interrogated, and everyone knows about this. It's just that the city is still searching for crossbow archers, who would have the heart to pay attention to such a thing?

The emperor had asked once before, and he had never asked again after confessing to torture.

However, tonight he suddenly had to inquire in detail, and tonight he suddenly discovered the explosion, is this qiē too coincidental?

Suddenly, the silence of the imperial study was broken by the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and it was the guards who had gone out to investigate and returned.

For a while, everyone who was already nervous became even more nervous, what was the situation?

Before Gonggong Luo brought people in, Emperor Tianhui couldn't help it, and shouted angrily, "Where did it explode, what happened?" ”

"Your Majesty, it was the explosion of the armory in the western suburbs, which blew up the ordnance of the two warehouses, and the casualties are still being counted, and the military doctors have rushed back."

As soon as these words came out, Long Tianmo, Mu Qingwu and General Mu raised their heads almost at the same time, and their faces turned pale with shock.

The armory explodes!

What's the matter?

The armory in the west of the city is owned by the forbidden army led by General Mu, and it is a large warehouse for storing weapons. Besides, there was no explosives stored in that place!

In the Three Kingdoms of Tianning, the gunpowder is in the hands of the military, and the gunpowder of the Tianning Kingdom is in the hands of General Mu's mansion, because the gunpowder is precious and the quantity is limited. Even the cavalry army and the navy army can only be called from General Mu's mansion if they are needed on the battlefield.

Emperor Tianhui looked at General Mu coldly, his eagle-like eyes full of anger and doubt.

"Father, these people are so bold and reckless, they dare to provoke my Tianning's military might! Yi Erchen looks at ......"

Before Long Tianmo's words were finished, Emperor Tianhui interrupted angrily, "General Mu, how could the good armory explode, where did the gunpowder come from?" ”

The gunpowder depot of Tianning is distributed all over the country, and the gunpowder depot of the imperial capital is on the eastern outskirts of the city, and even General Mu cannot call it without the instruction of Emperor Tianhui. Where did the gunpowder come from for this explosion in the armory? Did someone do it on purpose, or did the armory hide gunpowder and accidentally ignite it? It's really unclear.

"Father, it must have been done by those people in the black market, I'm afraid they want to create panic, divert attention, and give those crossbowmen a chance to escape! These bands must be accomplices. Father, Tianning's gunpowder control is so strict, I am afraid that these gunpowder will flow in from foreign forces! Long Tianmo hurriedly explained.

Although he did not specify which country the foreign power was, the smart man knew it without thinking about it.

Such a sensitive thing can only be used for border trade, and the Northern Calendar and Tianning are not connected to trade, but the Western Zhou and Tianning border trade is developed.

It's a pity that Emperor Tianhui didn't even look at him, and seeing this, Mu Qingwu was also anxious, and was about to speak, when General Mu shut up with a look.

The crown prince and the young general are still tender after all.

Since the emperor specially summoned them to inquire about the defection of the forbidden army, it means that the emperor has become suspicious of them. In this case, blindly pointing the finger at the Chu family as before will only make the emperor disgusted and increase his suspicion.

General Mu took a step forward and knelt down coldly, "Your Majesty, the last general is guilty!" ”

Seeing this, Mu Qingwu also knelt down, and a trace of complexity flashed in Long Tianmo's eyes, and he didn't dare to say more.

"Your Majesty, the general's dereliction of duty caused the assassins to run rampant, and the people panicked, knowing that they could not escape the great crime. Whether the armory secretly concealed gunpowder, causing an explosion, or whether someone brought gunpowder to cause trouble and provoke, it remains to be ascertained, however, in any case, the last general will have the crime of defense and supervision, these two crimes are heinous crimes, the crime is not forgivable, please the emperor to surrender! ”

A statement that seems to be a plea for guilt, but in fact it euphemistically illustrates the two circumstances of the explosion of the armory.

The anger in Emperor Tianhui's eyes subsided a little, but he still snorted coldly, "You also know that you are guilty!" ”

General Mu kowtowed to the ground and didn't dare to say more. On the side, Long Tianmo and Mu Qingwu didn't dare to say much.

Emperor Tianhui clenched his fist and slammed on the table, and was silent for a long time before he said, "I give you three days to find out about this matter, otherwise, ...... Hmph, don't think that if you are a veteran of the two dynasties, I won't touch you! ”

"Thank you for your grace!" General Mu thanked him again and again.

"Mu Qingwu, I will also give you three days, if you can't catch those crossbow archers again. You go to prison and accompany your two subordinates! Emperor Tianhui said coldly.

"The last general commands!" Mu Qingwu didn't dare to say more.

After the three of them exited the imperial study, they looked at each other and didn't dare to talk about it, until they were far away from the imperial study, Long Tianmo was angry, "Young General, what's going on with the defection?" Don't sue Prince Ben that you don't know! ”

If it weren't for the defection, how could the emperor be suspicious for no reason?

Mu Qingwu's gaze was still dodging, but General Mu said seriously, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the two captains of the forbidden army are still imprisoned in the prison, and there are more people who want to take the opportunity to fall into the well, and it is inevitable that the emperor will be suspicious." It's no wonder that Qingwu was impulsive at the beginning, he shouldn't have killed the leader! ”

General Mu said so, what else can Long Tianmo pursue? He sighed heavily, "The most important thing now is to find evidence, as long as it is proved that there is no private gunpowder hidden in the armory, this prince will not believe that his father can still sit still!" The armory dares to move, hum, those people are really tired of it! ”

It is easy to prove that the explosion in the armory was not caused by the possession of gunpowder.

The armory is so strictly guarded, and it is full of people brought out by General Mu, and he will never betray General Mu, so General Mu is very confident that the explosion of the armory must have occurred outside the warehouse.

As long as the explosion point is found, the prince can continue to bite the Chu family. For General Mu, who had managed the powder magazine for many years, it was easy to find the explosion point.

However, just when General Mu and the three of them were acting separately, a woman in the East Palace was in a hurry, and this person was none other than Mu Liuyue.

What did she do?
