Chapter Twenty-Eight: Do I Rely on Stealing a Cabbage to Bombard?
What is lacking in the world? Talent. There is always a shortage of talent.
Ge Hong's arrival gave everyone a glimmer of light and hope in the darkness. Zhao Rong finally understood the meaning of Liu Rumei's statement that the Red Cloth Sect Master's subordinates were full of talents.
There is indeed no shortage of charlatans in this group of Taoist priests, but there are also many professionals who are dedicated to research, constantly promoting the progress of medicine, chemistry, physiology (atrial surgery), thought, and even military affairs. Explosives are a major invention of Taoist priests in the process of alchemy.
Zhao Rong couldn't help but want to try its power. "Let's go to the county seat tonight and try it."
"Okay, please."
Before it got dark, Zhao Rong, Liu Jingsheng, Ge Hong, and Tian Qilang changed into brown night clothes to cover their faces, and sneaked out of the village and touched the direction of the county seat.
Along the way, Ge Hong complained, "This Taoist chief, if you don't change your name, you don't change your surname, and wearing night clothes is not my style." Besides, it's dark, don't wear black night clothes, wear clothes of such a color, and go out without being discovered. ”
Liu Jingsheng said: "You don't know, wherever you go in a night suit, you are a black shadow, but it is easy to be exposed, and those who wear brown can blend in with the surrounding environment." ”
"Wait". Zhao Rong stopped vigilantly, and everyone didn't dare to move. Pointing to the crowd and starting to count. "One, two, three, four. That's not right. How about four people? Liu Jingsheng said strangely: "We are just four people." Isn't one, two, three, four wrong? ”
"And what about you?"
"Huh? One, two, three, four, five. How did it become five people? ”
I only heard a woman's voice laughing and said, "Hahahaha, you fools, I followed as soon as I got out of the village, and now I have found out."
Zhao Rong said: "Zhou Hongyu? How did you get out. Zhou Hongyu said, "A few of you, if you want martial arts or no martial arts, if you want to have no brains, you don't want to go to the county seat to die, I, as the strongest martial artist among you, naturally want to protect you." Well, you guys. ”
Everyone was speechless for a while, and they also attacked people's houses, and no one in their team could tell the difference. What a failure. But it's coming, it's a big deal, there's something going on in a while, let her come back and report the news.
With great nervousness, he touched the root of the city gate and found that there was no one at the city gate, Liu Jingsheng couldn't help but be surprised, "This anti-thief is too unprofessional." Hit the county seat, and there is not even a guard at the city gate? ”
Zhao Rong said: "Will there be any ambush?" Shichiro, you go up and see, what's going on. ”
Tian Qilang cautiously touched it, and Zhao Rong and a few people watched from behind, but they waited for a long time and didn't move. Tian Qilang walked out after a while, it was strange, there was no one at the city gate, and there was no one inside, these red-clothed sect members, could it be that their hearts were so big that they were asleep?
"Let's go in and take a spin again. See what's out of the ordinary. Ge Hong take all your gunpowder. ”
Zhao Rong and Liu Jingsheng went in with gunpowder, and with Tian Qilang's previous exploration, they knew that there was no one in the city, and even if there was a point in time, they would probably sleep.
The streets were full of traces of the ruins of the red-clothed cultists during the day, and the buildings became ruined and broken, and the commercial streets, which were once extremely prosperous, became deserted and gloomy. There are many stoves on the street. It seems that the houses of the Cardinal Sect have collapsed, and there is no place to go to cook and eat on the street.
Walking to a store, several people found that there were people inside, sneaking around. As if discussing something, Zhao Rong quietly walked over, dipped his hand in the foam, poked open the window paper, and only heard the people inside say, "Helmsman, it's not okay to go on like this, Yancheng rudder is too bullying, let's come all the way from Huaiyin to support them, they are good, they occupy a good house, even if they sleep, they don't even give us food and grass, why are we working hard, isn't it just to fill our stomachs?" Why don't we go and grab his vote tonight. ”
Another person also took over the conversation, "There is no place to sleep, no food and grass, and let us be on duty at night, worth a fart, on such a cold day, our brothers from Huaiyin are shivering from the cold,"
The helmsman seemed to have made a lot of determination and slapped the table, "Fuck it, let Yancheng and these grandsons take a look, our Huaiyin rudder is not a vegetarian, I heard my brothers say, Dayong grain line, there is rice, there is noodles, there is cabbage with winter reserves, and the brothers will be neat for a while." Get him a vote. ”
The faces of the people were full of joy. Surrounded by Huaiyin, the rudder master walked outside the house. Zhao Rong and his gang hurriedly hid behind the wall. Follow them and walk towards the Great Brave Grain.
It seems that the red-clothed sect members have defeated Yancheng County, and the scourge has been plagued for a few days, and there is no food and grass. It's important news that infighting has begun.
Zhao Rong and a few people followed the people of Huaiyin rudder, and saw that they had knocked out the guards of the Yancheng rudder of Dayong Grain Xing.
Breaking into the Dayong Food Store, he patted Ge Hong on the shoulder, "What about your explosives, give them a treat." ”
Ge Hong smiled, lit a ball made of explosives, opened the window, and threw it into the store. The people in the Huaiyin rudder in the store were moving rice and noodles, and they were very busy, and the explosives were thrown at the feet of a person holding cabbage, and there was a sound of "bang", and the man was startled, "I'm sorry, don't you just steal a cabbage, as for bombarding me?" ”
It turned out that Zhao Rong and the others, who were waiting to watch the big show, shook their heads. said to Ge Hong: "This is the baby you said can lift the roof?" This is the explosive you said can blow the stove blue? Isn't this just the artillery battle of the common people? ”
Ge Hong was a little embarrassed, "This may be a little bit of a thing, next time, next time, it will definitely be able to blow up the effect you want." ”
Zhao Rong shook his head, "Alas, forget it, throw away your, you can't kill people, but recruit the people of the Cardinal Sect, and we'll be finished." ”
Ge Hong had no choice but to throw his precious explosives into the cooking stove on the street.
The sound of the "cannon" just now really alarmed the people of the Cardinal Sect, but it was Yancheng County's rudder, and they came over with torches.
"Fuck, someone has robbed us of our food, brothers, beat them to death."
Zhao Rong saw that the situation was not good, so he ran away.
It is said that the people who split the helm in Huaiyin went to steal food and were bombarded, and the people who broke the helm in Yancheng heard the movement and also ran over. Zhao Rong and the others saw that the situation was not good, so they ran away.
The person who divided the helm in Huaiyin heard the movement and walked out of the grain store with the grain, and happened to meet the person who broke the rudder in Yancheng.
The man who broke the rudder of Yancheng said, "Okay, look at you who came to us, we were kind enough to take us in, and you actually stole our food. ”
The person who split the rudder in Huaiyin stopped hearing it, "What, we defected to you?" You know if the situation is good or not, and we are here to support you. ”
"Defection,"
"Support."
"Defection".
"Support."
I don't know who shouted, "Brothers, copy guys, Yancheng is too bullying." ”
Yancheng saw that the other party was going to make a move, and he was also anxious that the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, you are so clear who is bullying whom?" ”
There were more and more people on both sides, and the scale of the fight was getting bigger and bigger, and after a while, the kung fu was red to the sky, and the shouts of killing spread far away.
Zhao Rong and his gang, who escaped, were also full of doubts at this time, "People say that a bloody case caused by steamed buns, we are a bloody case caused by an artillery battle." ”
Liu Jingsheng also said, "Alas, Ge Hong, what did you forget to put in your explosives?" Why is the power so small, with a cannon fight. ”
Ge Hong also scratched his head, "The sulfur is released, the nitrate is released, it is the charcoal used for heating, it was too cold last night, I ordered it to heat up." So it's a little less. ”
Zhao Rong asked, "What happens if you add enough charcoal?" Zhou Hongyu also interjected, "I see, this Ge Hong is just like you, he is a god stick and a liar." You're better than him, you're still a disciple. ”
Zhao Rong looked confused, "What's the matter with me?" Besides, I didn't mean to be rude to you, did I. Why do you say I'm a disciple? ”
Zhou Hongyu stomped his feet angrily, "You, if you are rude, I will be fine, old lady, I will marry you immediately, lest you harm other little girls." ”
Zhao Rong said, "To be a man is to talk about conscience, who am I rude?" ”
Zhou Hongyu said, "Zhuang Liulu, you two, shameless and obscene." ”
Zhao Rong was depressed for a while, "I don't know why you got involved with Zhuang Liulu, the two of you, one sharpens the knife at every turn, and the other beats people with a whip at every turn, this temper is really the same." Whoever marries both of you will have to live twenty years less. ”
Zhou Hongyu heard that he compared himself to Zhuang Liulu, and he was angry, and he picked up the whip and was about to beat.
I could only hear a loud "boom," and the originally dark night suddenly became as bright as day, a cloud like cream, with some small explosions inside, constantly tumbling, and the speed continued to increase upward, all the way to the stratosphere. The ground was covered with dust, and several people were too frightened to move. Immediately afterwards, the stones on the ground began to shake violently, and Zhao Rong hurriedly hugged Zhou Hongyu and lay on the ground, and then a wave of air blew over, shaking the surrounding trees.
Looking at the flames in the direction of the county seat, several people were stupid. Liu Jingsheng patted Ge Hong on the shoulder, "Okay, Ge Hong, no wonder people call you Little Immortal, you make such a powerful thing." Look, look, I'll go, and the walls are falling. Ge Hong said, "I went back to study and research, shouldn't it, how can it be so powerful?" ”
Over there, Zhao Rong pressed Zhou Hongyu under his body, and while the night was dark, Zhou Hongyu kissed Zhao Rong "poof", Zhao Rong covered half of his face that was kissed, and felt that half of his face was hot. Standing up slowly, Liu Jingsheng asked with concern, "Why is your face so red, was it burned by the explosion just now, take it down and I'll take a look." Zhao Rong shook his head, it's okay, it's okay, it'll be fine in a while.
Liu Jingsheng still refuses to give up. "Oh, you let me see."
Zhao Rong covered his face and turned around again and again, just not letting him look embarrassed.
Zhou Hongyu couldn't help but almost laugh out loud. Turn your head away.
