Xie Fanghua pursed her lips, she didn't expect the boulder to roll down because of the mechanism, she looked at Li Muqing.

Li Muqing asked Qingge, "What kind of organs are set up?" Can you describe it? ”

"It is a machine spring set up with rollers and iron cables, as long as the motor spring is pulled, the iron cable pulls the rollers, the rollers roll forward, and hit the boulder, the boulder will roll down the hillside." "There are about ten rollers, and they roll together, and they weigh a hundred pounds before they can hit the boulder." ”

"Such an ingenious arrangement of mechanisms cannot be arranged overnight." Li Muqing said.

Xie Fanghua nodded, she was also proficient in the art of organs, and knew that if such a mechanism was set up, in addition to those who were very proficient in the art of Qimen organs, there would also be a certain number of strong men who could gather the boulders halfway up the mountain. Moreover, it is only ten miles away from the Xishan military camp, and between the capital and the military camp, it is not possible for anyone to make such an arrangement quietly.

"Cousin-in-law, what should I do now?" Yuzhuo asked, looking at the boulders piled up into a hill in front of him.

Xie Fanghua didn't speak.

Han Shu said, "With so many boulders, if we rely on manpower to move them, we here will not be able to move them until it gets dark." ”

Li Muqing nodded, "There is a way to get these boulders out of the way as soon as possible and open up the obstructive path." ”

"Li Gongzi, what can you do?" Han Shu immediately asked.

"Dirt powder." Li Muqing said.

Han Shu's face changed, "Earth gunpowder is a military thing, and if it is placed in the military treasury, no one can take it out without the emperor's token." After a pause, he added, "Even if we go back to Beijing now to ask for a decree, and the emperor promises to give earth gunpowder, then it will be dark this time around." ”

Li Muqing looked at Xie Fanghua.

Xie Fanghua suddenly said, "How about getting dark?" ”

Han Shu was stunned.

Xie Fanghua suddenly narrowed his eyes, "Killing Imperial Doctor Sun and setting up a boulder mechanism is nothing more than blocking the way to the Xishan military camp." Why block? Even if it blocks today, what about tomorrow? Wouldn't it be the same? ”

Li Muqing suddenly took over, "Tomorrow may be too late." ”

"Yes, it may be too late tomorrow." Xie Fanghua was stunned, "Some people don't want Imperial Doctor Sun to go to the Xishan Military Camp, and they don't want me to go to the Xishan Military Camp." ”

Han Shu was taken aback, "Could it be that the people behind the scenes who are doing this are afraid of what will happen after Imperial Doctor Sun and the little princess go to the Xishan military camp?" ”

"It is said that the Xishan military camp is unusable, and Qin Zheng asked me and Imperial Doctor Sun to conduct an autopsy." Xie Fanghua's face was cold, "There must be something wrong with the corpse." ”

Han Shu immediately said, "In that case, we must go to the Daxi Mountain Military Camp today." ”

"Hmm." Xie Fanghua nodded.

"Then these boulders ...... now," Han Shu gritted his teeth, "Shall we move away?" ”

"You don't have to move out of the way." Xie Fanghua turned his head to Qingge and said, "Can you get gunpowder in half an hour?" ”

"Yes." Singing lightly.

Xie Fanghua waved at him.

Qingge disappeared in an instant.

Seeing this, Han Shu was pale, "Little princess, are you going to get gunpowder privately?" Gunpowder is a military thing, if it is known to the emperor, then ...... Illicit use of arms is a great crime. ”

Xie Fanghua looked at Han Shu lightly, "Lord Han, if the Xishan Military Camp case is not investigated, how many mansions and how many people will be implicated?" You know that, right? In addition, the murder of Imperial Doctor Sun may not be able to be avenge because of this blocked road. Compared with the private use of arms, the emperor condemned me and others, which is more important? ”

Han Shu choked.

"Besides, with such a heavy rain, all traces will be drowned, and others can set up a chain of obstacles to murder, so why can't we use arms quietly? If we can't produce proof, who will prove that we used arms? Xie Fanghua looked at him.

Han Shu was stunned.

"If Lord Han is afraid of being involved, he shouldn't follow us to the Xishan Military Camp, it's too late to go back now." Xie Fanghua said again.

Han Shu's face changed for a moment and looked at Li Muqing.

Li Muqing smiled at him, "I didn't think it through, I invited the adults out of the city and rolled in, I'm very sorry, the little princess is right, if the adults leave and return to Beijing now, it's still too late." If you are worried about the safety of the road, I will send someone to escort you back to Beijing. ”

Han Shu seemed to be struggling, and after a while, he still shook his head insistently, "The little princess is right, such a big case, if it is not investigated, countless people will be implicated." Even if...... The private use of arms is also because of the urgency of the matter, and if the rain is so heavy that the evidence is washed away, as long as we do not admit it, no one can come up with evidence that we used gunpowder. ”

"Lord Han is an understanding and intelligent person, and he is also a rare upright person, so the Southern Qin Dynasty needs more impartial people like the Lord. This is also the reason why Mu Qing went to the Criminal Department to ask the adults to go. Li Muqing said.

"Li Gongzi has won the award." Han Shu hurriedly waved his hand, "The subordinate official is in charge of the Criminal Department, and in his position, he is worthy of his official uniform." ”

Xie Fanghua couldn't help but look at Han Shu differently when he heard this, the person who could say this was indeed worthy of Li Muqing's praise.

In less than half an hour, Qingge went and returned, appearing in front of Xie Fanghua, "Master, the gunpowder has been brought." ”

Xie Fanghua looked at him, "So fast?" ”

Qingge approached her, lowered her voice and said, "I got it at the mansion of Prince Yunlan, you know, Prince Yunlan's mansion is five miles outside the city. It was the closest to his mansion. ”

Xie Fanghua nodded and said to him, "Blow it up!" ”

Singing lightly, he took out the earth gunpowder.

Xie Fanghua waved his hand, "All stand back." ”

Yuzhuo immediately grabbed the reins of the horse and caused the carriage to go backwards, and Han Shu and Li Muqing followed the carriage backwards.

Qingge buried the earth gunpowder under the boulder to avoid being touched by the rain, and after burying them one by one, he fell back to Xie Fanghua, took out the fire fold, lit the torch in his hand, and then threw the torch against the gunpowder rope under the gap in the boulder.

I saw that the torch had not been poured by the heavy rain, and then it arrived at the gunpowder rope under the boulder, and then the gunpowder rope was ignited, only to hear the earth-shaking sound of "bang bang bang", the boulder was blown to pieces, and some of the debris was blown into the air, and some were scattered and splashed in all directions.

Xie Fanghua, Li Muqing, Qingge, Yuzhuo, Shimo, and Shihua all had martial arts, and they all waved their hands to open the smashed stones splashed in front of them. It's a pity that Han Shu only has some loose ways to strengthen his body, so he has several cuts on his face and body, and he is a little embarrassed.

The boulder exploded and shook the earth for a while, then it regained its calm, and there was no sound except the smell of gunpowder.

"What a powerful gunpowder." Han Shu felt thrilled, and watched in horror as the boulder of a hill was blown to pieces, and he looked at the light song beside Xie Fanghua with palpitations.

Qingge was dressed in black and black, only revealing a pair of eyes, and he didn't glance at Han Shu.

"This kind of earth powder is much more powerful than the earth powder in the arsenal, this is only a small bag, I have seen the soil powder in the arsenal, if you blow up these boulders, you will need to use three or four bags. This ......," Han Shu looked at Xie Fanghua again.

Xie Fanghua was noncommittal, and waved her hand at Qingge, who immediately hid her figure and retreated, she said, "Let's go." ”

Yuzhuo immediately let go of the horse's reins, and the carriage drove forward along the blasted passage.

Han Shu looked at Li Muqing.

Li Muqing smiled, "Lord Han, not everyone can open their eyes, you and I are fortunate today, please." ”

Han Shu nodded, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and stepped forward, faintly seeing his body trembling slightly, which showed that he was shocked just now.

After the group walked by, the heavy rain quickly washed away the smell of gunpowder that had just been left behind, and washed away the traces as well.

About three miles away, I suddenly heard a strange sound.

Xie Fanghua listened carefully, his face changed, and he immediately opened the curtain and drank to Yuzhuo, "Stop." ”

Yu Zhuo shuddered, immediately grabbed the reins of the horse, and looked back at Xie Fanghua, "What's the matter, cousin-in-law?" ”

Xie Fanghua didn't speak, looked at the col in front of him, froze for a moment, and suddenly asked Li Muqing, "Did you hear any sound?" ”

Li Muqing was also looking at that place at this time, his face was solemn, "It seems to be the voice of a wolf." ”

Xie Fanghua's heart sank, "If you also heard it, then I heard it correctly, not only the voice of the wolf, but also the voice of the wolves." ”

Han Shu was shocked, "The capital is a hundred miles away, how can there be wolves?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly a wolf roar appeared in the col, and then one after another, and then wolves emerged from the col, about hundreds, and in the heavy rain, the ashes were overwhelming.

With the appearance of the wolves, although they were still far away, the horses were already kicking and trembling in panic.

The face of the waiter and the waiter suddenly turned white, and one left and one right protected Xie Fanghua, "Miss, what should I do?" Let's go. ”

"Let's go? Can you outrun a wolf? Xie Fanghua narrowed her eyes.

The painting and ink were suddenly silent.

"The wolf is afraid of fire, hurry, light the torch." Han Shu shouted.

"Lord Han, it's raining so hard now, even if we hold an umbrella and light the torch, the torch will be extinguished soon when the wind blows and the rain blows, it's not like it only takes a moment when the gunpowder is just lit, as long as the wolves come around the palace, the torch won't last long." Li Muqing said.

"That'...... What should I do then......" Han Shu tugged at the reins of his horse, and the mount under him was no longer under his control, and he wanted to run away.

Xie Fanghua pursed her lips.

Yu Zhuo suddenly whispered, "Cousin-in-law, I have learned wolf language, and I can control wolves." However, I have never ridden so many wolves, I don't know if I can control them......"

Xie Fanghua's original thoughts immediately stopped, and said to him, "You have learned the best, there is no difference between a wolf and a group of wolves." After the words fell, she said, "You start now, find the wolf king, and control the wolf king." As long as we control the wolf king, then the wolves will not attack us. ”

Yu Zhuo nodded heavily, threw the reins of the horse, suddenly stood up, and shouted in wolf language.

The wolf, who had already been running towards here, suddenly paused.

"It works, Jade Zhuo." The waiter is happy.

Yu Zhuo shouted again.

Although the wolves that came in the rain had just had a brief pause, it was only for a moment, and they surged forward again.

Yu Zhuo shouted again and again, continuously.

However, in a moment, the wolves had already swarmed to a distance of less than ten zhang from Xie Fanghua and the others.

Shi Hua and Shi Mo took out the sword at their waists, only protecting Xie Fanghua.

Han Shu was already frightened, and Li Muqing also pulled out the sword at his waist to protect Han Shu.

Qingge quietly appeared behind the carriage with more than a dozen people, all of them with solemn faces, drawing their swords at any time.

Yuzhuo suddenly changed the wolf roar, and let out a sharp strange sound, the wolves suddenly stopped in unison, and the big male wolf who took the lead shook the wolf hair on his body, revealing sharp and sharp wolf teeth, and a pair of eyes in the rain with a man-eating green light, staring at Yuzhuo.

Yu Zhuo stretched out his hand, pushed it out steadily, and said slowly, "Retreat, retreat......"

The big male wolf stood motionless, as did the wolves behind him.

Yu Zhuo's eyes were fixed on the wolf, his hand kept pushing motion, and he kept saying retreat.

After a while, the big male wolf suddenly moved, and instead of retreating, he took a step forward.

"Retreat!" Yu Zhuo let out a loud shout, his eyes shining with the same ferocious light as the Wolf King.

The big male wolf suddenly stopped again, his head shook uneasily, his tail flicked vigorously, and a pair of wolf eyes showed struggle.

"Retreat!" Yu Zhuo shouted again.

The big male wolf suddenly took another step forward, and then, suddenly, the two front legs suddenly lifted, the two hind legs landed on the ground, and the whole body stood up, forming a predatory momentum of rushing forward.

As soon as Yuzhuo's face turned white, he couldn't support it.

Xie Fanghua whispered, "Steady, let it retreat." ”

Yu Zhuo shouted again, "Retreat!" ”

The big male wolf's hair stood on end, and he shook vigorously, and suddenly turned around, and the wolf roared, and the wolves turned around and turned back from where they came.

Seeing this, Han Shu breathed a sigh of relief and lay on the horse's back softly.

Li Muqing also breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew the sword at his waist.

Yu Zhuo's legs went limp, and he sat down in the carriage.

The horse kicked its hooves and quieted down.

The waiter and the waiter let go of Xie Fanghua and said happily, "Miss, Yuzhuo has succeeded, and the wolves are really gone." ”

Xie Fanghua remained motionless, looking in the direction the wolves had left.

The waiter and the waiter looked at her in unison, and saw that her eyes were wandering, as if she was looking in the direction where the wolves were leaving, and she didn't seem to be looking, although she was sitting, she was extremely stiff, and her face was faintly pale.

The two of them looked at each other and shouted in a low voice, "Miss? ”

Xie Fanghua came back to her senses, slowly focused her pupils, and her body suddenly trembled slightly.

The waiter and the waiter Mo glanced at each other again, it was very strange, Miss didn't look like a person who was afraid of wolves, she had been extremely calm, and she had just let Yuzhuo stabilize, but why did the wolves withdraw, but instead, she was suddenly worried, and she was surrounded in unison, "Miss?" ”

Xie Fanghua slowly lowered his head, was silent for a moment, suddenly calmed down, and said behind him, "Go and find out why there are a large number of wolves, the capital to the Xishan military camp is only thirty miles, and the radius is fifty miles, all of them are controlled." If you look thoroughly, you will find out something. ”

"Yes." Qingge responded, waved his hand, and retreated with the people.

Xie Fanghua glanced at Yuzhuo, and saw that his little face was white, and the clothes on his body had been soaked through the rain, she said to the waiter painting and waiter, "You guys go to catch the car." Then he added, "Yuzhuo got into the car." ”

Seeing that she was fine, the waiter and the waiter Mo got out of the carriage together, and saw that Yuzhuo was still sitting in front of the car, so they stretched out his hand and pushed him into the car.

Xie Fanghua reached out and clasped Yuzhuo's wrist.

Yu Zhuo was startled, "Cousin? ”

"Don't move, I'll dry your clothes, otherwise it's so wet and easy to get hot." Xie Fanghua said.

Yu Zhuo nodded.

Xie Fanghua's luck, within a moment, the soaked clothes on Yuzhuo's body were gradually dried by her, and after they were all dried and loosened, she put down her hand and asked him, "Who is your wolf control technique?" ”

"I learned it myself." Yu Zhuo said.

"Huh?" Xie Fanghua looked at him.

"I really learned it myself." Yu Zhuo scratched his head, "I read a book of wolves and beasts, which talks about wolf control. I caught a wolf and practiced, and then I found that I could really control it, so I caught a few more to practice, but this was the first time I faced hundreds of wolves, and I almost couldn't support it. ”

"The Legend of Wolves and Beasts......" Xie Fanghua pursed her lips, "What kind of Wolf Beasts is it?" Do you remember, tell me about it? ”

Yuzhuo blinked, "Cousin-in-law, are you interested in wolf control?" ”

Xie Fanghua's eyes flickered for a moment and nodded.

Yu Zhuo immediately said to her, "The Wolf Beast Chronicle ...... recorded above."

Xie Fanghua listened quietly.

After two cups of tea, Yuzhuo stopped talking, looked at Xie Fanghua, and asked tentatively, "Cousin-in-law, if you want to learn, I can teach you." ”

Xie Fanghua shook his head and said in a low voice, "If my guess is right, this book of wolf beasts of yours is just a piece of silk cloth." ”

Yu Zhuo's eyes immediately widened, "How did you guess?" ”

Xie Fanghua leaned against the wall of the car and did not answer.

Yuzhuo looked at her and noticed that something was wrong with her, so she asked carefully, "Cousin-in-law, are you ...... Are you alright? Isn't it uncomfortable? ”

Xie Fanghua shook his head, "It's okay, is your silk cloth that records the story of wolves and beasts still there?" ”

Yuzhuo nodded, "Yes, but I didn't bring it with me, at home in Pingyang City." ”

Xie Fanghua fell silent again.

Yuzhuo looked at him worriedly.

After a while, Xie Fanghua said, "Where did you get your wolf beast record?" ”

Yuzhuo thought for a while and said, "A few years ago, my cousin went to Pingyang City, and I begged him to teach me a few powerful martial arts, and he gave me this wolf beast record. ”

Xie Fanghua's hand suddenly knocked on the wall of the car, and his voice was suddenly hoarse, "It's him...... For you? ”

"yes, my cousin gave it to me." Yuzhuo said affirmatively.

Xie Fanghua pursed her lips and said slowly, "So, he knows that you have learned the wolf control technique?" ”

Yuzhuo nodded, "After my father and mother entrusted me to my cousin, my cousin once told me anything, I told my cousin this." ”

Xie Fanghua suddenly tugged at the corners of her mouth, "What will you do?" ”

"I know the family martial arts of the Wang family and the family martial arts of the Yu family, in addition to martial arts, I also learned medical skills and poison arts, but these two things can only save and protect themselves, not proficient, in addition, the art of war, the arrangement of organs, and this wolf control technique."

Xie Fanghua smiled, "When it's over today, can you send someone to Pingyang City and bring me the wolf beast record?" ”

"Okay." Yu Zhuo immediately said, "I'll keep it in one place, which tells you that you can send someone to get it." As the words fell, he leaned closer to her and whispered the address he was hiding.

Xie Fanghua nodded, indicating that he had written it down.
