Chapter 085: The Catastrophe Reappears (1)
"This matter is not trivial, it seems that we need to pay a visit to the Sword Fire Clan." Hua Yuebai said solemnly.
Jian Ning nodded, but said with some concern: "But in this situation, if we leave suddenly, it will inevitably attract suspicion and be followed." ”
"Whether it arouses suspicion or not, there will always be a lot of eyes around us, and you can't stop it, the only thing you can do is how to make them get nothing." Hua Yuebai patted Jian Ning's shoulder and said calmly.
Two days later, Hua Yuebai found a reason to resign from Dongshang's side.
Jian Ning didn't go, and she hadn't seen Xiahou Yan since that banquet. She has always felt that time can fade a qiē, as long as she doesn't see it anymore and doesn't think about it anymore, she won't fall deeper and deeper again.
After arriving at the fork in the road leading to Yuanchu and Lingsui in Dongshang, Hua Yuebai instructed Gong Hao to take the rest of the people back to Lingsui, while he and Jian Ning, Le Zhengyu and a few personal guards went to Yuanchu.
After a few days of hurrying, Jian Ning arrived at Tianhua Mountain first. She had to understand the situation clearly, and she couldn't rashly go to the Sword Fire Family to ask for the crime.
"Zijin, what the hell is going on? How did you find out? Jian Ning was anxious, so she asked directly.
Liu Leshan poured a cup of tea for Jian Ning and the three of them on the side and said, "Don't worry about Ning'er, drink saliva and listen to Zijin slowly." ”
"When I first found out about this, I was also very surprised, so I secretly infiltrated the Sword Fire Family to find out, but I didn't expect it. Knowing that this matter is very important, I will immediately fly the pigeon and pass it on to you. Ruan Zijin said.
Liu Leshan also said on the side: "At the beginning, we found that some people were buying iron materials on a large scale. I thought someone was trying to plot a rebellion. I didn't know that this was the result after a check. ”
"The acquired iron materials were eventually shipped to the Sword and Fire Family, and there was no big problem, after all, the Sword and Fire Family was a family of weapons." Ruan Zijin said with a heavy face, "But then I accidentally found that someone from the military department was secretly going, so I paid attention to it." ”
The Sword and Fire Family has close contacts with the Ministry of War, and many of Yuan Chu's weapons are handed over to the Sword and Fire Family, but their transactions have always been on the surface, but this time not only is it trading in secret, but even the purchase of raw materials is done with a hidden identity, and there must be a demon when things go wrong!
"I asked Leshan to inquire about the situation of the Daohuo family. So I found an opportunity to visit the foundry of the Sword Fire Family at night that night. Unexpectedly, I saw several completed guns. Ruan Zijin glanced at Jian Ning's face as soon as he finished speaking.
"Huo Tianyuan disregarded the reputation of the Sword and Fire Family, united with the military department, and secretly manufactured artillery, which must have been instructed by Long Zeye. If it weren't for the emperor's order, it wouldn't have been said. He wouldn't do that! Jian Ning's heart was depressed.
It seems that it should not be an accident that Huo Tianyuan took the initiative to find him. But how did he know he had it in his hands?
Did you build your own artillery in the first place? Make explosives. Is it really wrong to do it when you know you can't do it?
"It's late today, let's go to the Sword Fire House tomorrow." Hua Yuebai thought of what Jian Ning would say next. Said before her.
"No, anything can be delayed, but this matter can't be delayed for half a minute." Jian Ning stood up and said firmly, "A hundred years ago, Senior Ruan was already wrong once, and I can't be wrong again." ”
After speaking, Jian Ning quickly turned around and ran out, and Yun Ling immediately chased after him dutifully.
Hua Yuebai and Le Zhengyu also had to keep up.
"Leshan, you and Xi'er can stay here, let's go back as soon as we go." Ruan Zijin explained, and when he turned around to leave, he suddenly stopped again, and said with a light smile, "Don't worry, I will protect Ning'er, and I will protect myself." ”
The Daohuo family is in Los Angeles, north of Jingding Prefecture and adjacent to it. Hurry up, you can get there in half a day.
But at this moment, the city gate of Jingding Prefecture has been closed, and it is impossible to pass at all.
Seeing that Jian Ning was really anxious, as a last resort, Le Zhengyu could only propose to adopt the trick of the gentleman on the beam and use the eagle hook rope to climb over the wall.
But this is not a big problem for the rest of the people, even Yun Ling is also a master of deep concealment, but it has become a big problem for Jian Ning.
The walls are extremely high and the walls are relatively smooth, so it is not easy to borrow them. Besides, it had to be as light as possible, so that the soldiers defending the city would not find out, so no one dared to rashly take Jian Ning over the city wall.
At this moment, looking at the high city wall, Jian Ning felt how important light work was.
Later, it was Ruan Zijin who took out a small object, a pulley, and handed it to Hua Yuebai. This thing was chased to her by Xi'er when she was leaving, saying that it might be useful.
She had seen Xi'er use this thing to improve the mountain-climbing device of Tianhua Mountain before, so she was very clear about its effect.
With the help of Hua Yuebai, Ruan Zijin quickly installed a simple pulley device, and then Hua Yuebai went down again, and with the help of Jian Ning, he successfully climbed over the city wall.
Jian Ning was not very surprised when he saw the pulley, after all, such a labor-saving thing, Ruan Feichen's record must have mentioned it.
Without horses, you can use light work all the way, in short, you can't delay a moment. Jian Ning has always been carried by Hua Yuebai, although Zijin and Le Zhengyu slowed down along the way, Jian Ning was still shocked by Hua Yuebai's skills.
The only time she saw Hua Yuebai do it was when she was in Jingdingzhou, but there were too many enemies at that time, and she was too busy to take care of herself, so she never had a good understanding of Hua Yuebai's true skills.
Now that she is taking her all the way, Hua Yuebai does not have the slightest lack of body or breath disorder, which shows that her skills are not weak, at least the light skills can be called a must.
When I arrived in Los Angeles, I happened to hear the husband ring the fourth watch.
The Sword Fire Family was in the southernmost part of Los Angeles, and it would take at least an hour to get there from where they were now.
An hour later, looking at the empty small courtyard in front of her, Jian Ning couldn't believe it. A dignified sword and fire family, and a place to undertake the casting of imperial court weapons, how can it be so downcast?
"Zijin, are you sure it's here?" Jian Ning asked in disbelief.
Ruan Zijin nodded and said, "I was surprised at first, but it's true that this is the case. Don't let it beg you. The reason why this place is more empty than ordinary places is not because it is remote and uninhabited, but because the land here belongs to the Sword Fire family. ”
After Ruan Zijin finished speaking, he looked at the ground and explained: "Actually, this small courtyard above is not the headquarters of the Sword and Fire Family, this is just a cover, or an entrance, and the real Sword and Fire Family is at our feet." (To be continued......)
