Chapter Forty-Nine: A Hundred Ghosts Flee at Night
Hu Xiu didn't know what order was needed to make this thing, so he poured all the saltpeter, stone flow yellow and charcoal that had been ground into powder into the hot pot.
Holding a long iron rod in his hand, stirring like boiling medicine, in the wall of the pot, the sound of "zizi" is not stopped, but also exudes a peculiar smell, which is not weird.
The fire kept burning, the fire was not big, and the stick had been stirring gently, not daring to use too much force, for fear that it would explode in the next second.
"The fire is out! Fast! ”
While Hu Xiu was stirring, his eyes did not forget to look into the pot. Seeing that it was about to change color, he snorted twice, and the black killer hurriedly stepped forward, holding a basin of cold water in his hand, and directly extinguished the firewood that was not vigorous below.
Hu Xiu didn't continue to stir, and after waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Hu Xiu stepped forward and touched it, and it had turned into a small piece, a small piece of black-brown lump.
This winter, things are cooling down quickly, especially yesterday's heavy snowfall, and the temperature outside has plummeted to below zero.
"It should be refined, this should be gunpowder!"
Hu Xiu never thought that he would make this thing so smoothly, he thought that Edison had failed to invent the light bulb 1600 times, although he had a theory, but he should have failed so many times.
But I didn't expect it to be so simple to succeed.
"This is gunpowder?"
Shi Ling'er came over and looked at the bottom of the pot.
"Yes, don't lower your head too deeply, this thing may be flammable and explosive, and it is not stable yet."
"Oh~"
She listened and leaned back again.
"And that's how the gunpowder is ready? Throw this pile of black stuff out and it will explode? ”
"No, no, it's not that simple, I still need that kind of brittle container, and that kind of flammable wire."
Hu Xiu shook his head again and again, he doesn't have the ability to do that now, it's very powerful. For example, explosives that explode through external forces.
However, by igniting the explosion, this can still be tried.
"I'll do this, I'll do it."
Shi Ling'er is really manly.
……
It's night.
The two eunuchs, from outside the palace, hurried inside and went straight to the imperial study.
"Your Majesty!"
"What's the matter? Without reporting, I came in in a hurry. ”
King Han put down the brush that was corrected and folded, and said with a frown.
"We found Zhou Shen!"
"Is it a living Zhou Shen or a dead Zhou Shen?"
"Alive, just caught, fortunately, yesterday, His Majesty ordered disaster relief, such thieves, actually hiding in the suburbs of the people's homes to live."
"It is not a blessing for the people to suffer."
Hu Guizi shook his sleeves and stood up.
"Our family made a mistake in the mouth, and we slapped our mouths."
The two eunuchs, each "snapped", slapped their faces, crisp sounds, and red marks came out.
"Where is that man now?"
"A large number of escorts have been arranged to escort them back to Beijing."
"What?"
King Han paused and stood there motionless.
"Confused, Wu Zhong, Ma Gan! I don't want you to do foolish things! ”
"Go back quickly, if you let people run away, I only ask!"
In a burst of scolding, the two eunuchs crawled out of the imperial study and disappeared into the night.
"Whew~"
Hu Guizi shook his head, sighed, and pushed open the door. There were no clouds tonight, and the moon was exceptionally large and bright.
In a shadow in the corner of the wall, there was a person hiding at some point, with a dagger pinned to his waist, and the dagger body was black, as if it had been poisoned.
Like a poisonous snake, he approached little by little, and King Han, who was looking at the moon at the threshold.
Just when he was only about ten meters away from Hu Guizi. Suddenly, there was a storm! The dagger on his waist was pulled out violently, and under the light of the moon, it was black and shiny.
King Han was not blind, and the expression on his face changed instantly, and he hurriedly took a few steps back and stepped into the door, which was closed with his backhand.
"Bang~"
"Click~"
With the sound of two loud voices, the door was shattered. King Han also drew a short sword from under the desk.
The killer never thought that an emperor would be so cautious. In your own room, you will have a sharp weapon hidden!
"Who are you? Why do you want to kill me!? ”
The king of Han held a short sword and confronted him, while the guards outside heard the movement coming from inside. They all rushed towards the imperial study, because the guards knew that inside this imperial study, it was the current saint!
"The children of the Hu family! The old man is the one who came to kill you today! ”
The killer screamed in a black night suit, only his eyes were exposed, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but listening to the voice, the vicissitudes of life were deep, and it should be not small.
"Kill me? Now the outside is full of my emperor and army, and if I give an order, you will die without a place to be buried. ”
"Hmph~ It's a pity, Emperor and Army? It's not like the old man hasn't killed ...... back then."
After that, the short dagger in his hand stabbed again. King Han didn't take it hard, the tips of his toes tapped the ground, and he actually flew straight up and broke through the roof, making a loud noise.
The martial arts of this Han King are so high.
At the same time, Hu Feiwei, who was sleeping alone in the house, suddenly woke up and said silently:
"Why is there such a cyclone of fierce fighting coming from the palace? My eldest brother seems to be among them. ”
He didn't care about getting dressed, so he just put on a shirt and boots, and rushed out of the room.
He is extremely fast, and the open aisle can be passed in an instant. At the winding path, I walked the eaves and jumped gently, and it was even tens or hundreds of meters away.
If Hu Xiu saw it, then he would have to drop his jaw in shock, can this still be a human? This is beyond the limits of what the human body can reach.
Hey~ Brother Newton, why can't your coffin board be pressed?
Hu Feiwei went straight to the palace gate, and there were still guards at the palace gate. When he saw that Hu Wangye wanted to enter, he didn't stop him, and the palace door was open for him to enter.
didn't say much, asked where the emperor was, and hurried towards the direction of the imperial study.
As we approached, the louder the noise became, the screams of the warriors not far away, the light of the torches, and even the smell of blood, all of which seemed to be felt.
Although Hu Feiwei was bare-handed, he was not afraid, and his speed was a little faster.
Outside the imperial study, a middle-aged man in bright yellow clothes and two half-aged eunuchs surrounded a man with a short black dagger, surrounded by the corpses of dead guards.
"All the guards are out!"
Hu Guizi didn't expect the strength of the perpetrator to be so strong, and under the siege of him, Wu Zhong and Ma Gan, he still had the strength to kill the besiegers.
Yes, Wu Zhong and Ma Gan also rushed back, and they didn't go too far. When choosing to escort the team back to Beijing and protect the emperor, they of course chose the latter.
"We are the Praetorian Guards, we should guard the Imperial City and Your Majesty! We can't be shrouded in horse-leather, but we're not soft-bought, and forgive us, Your Majesty, for disobeying your orders. ”
"Janissaries rush, protect Your Majesty!"
The escort at the head was quite young, gritting his teeth, the silver spear in his hand was waving, the sound of breaking the wind roared, and the shadow of the silver dragon floated on the head of the spear.
"Stupid!"
King Han's face was extremely ugly, and in order to avoid more casualties among the guards, the three of them took the initiative to attack the man in black again.
His short sword method is exquisite, an inch loud, an inch strong, this short sword is a word "risk".
A sword to live, a sword to die, this is a fearless, not afraid of life and death of the short sword method, which is contrary to the way of the emperor, but the king of Han practiced like this.
The man in black is not a good stubble, although he has been passively receiving moves, and the short sword is only the slightest bit short of stabbing him every time.
He seemed to do this on purpose, and he didn't do it right, but the guards who rushed towards him were unlucky, and they could end their lives at will.
Except for the Silver Spear Kid, who ran towards him at the beginning, the two daggers failed to attack him. He slapped his palm on the chest angrily and flew out, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
The rest of the guards weren't so lucky, and most of them died outright.
Occasionally, in order to kill the guards, the man in black would rather be stabbed by the King of Han with a few swords, and by the two eunuchs, he would rather be killed.
He didn't seem to be a killer who came to assassinate His Majesty, but the targets he wanted to kill were those guards who were much weaker than him, how strange this behavior was.
When it reached a stalemate, a figure rushed towards it at great speed, clenched its fists, and pointed directly at the man in black.
"Murderer! Hugh is going to hurt my Emperor brother! ”
When the sound came, the person also arrived, and the speed of this punch was extremely fast, and when the man in black just reacted to raise his hand, the punch of the sandbag had already smashed into his face.
"Boom~"
The fist wind is everywhere, and the wind and dust are raised. The man in black's expression blurred instantly, and his head was "buzzing~".
It was as if there were countless bees around his head, flying non-stop, he couldn't even hear the outside world, and the black dagger in his hand fell and landed on the white slate.
"Hehe~ Yes, my great-grandson's martial arts have entered a lot again."
I don't know when, under the moonlight, a figure stood on the eaves.
"Grandma, don't stand so high, don't fall, come down."
Everyone looked up, and King Han also hurriedly spoke.
"It's okay, grandma, I can live for a few more decades, and I can't die."
With that, he jumped off the eaves.
"That kid from the Liu family, your name is Liu Chen, right? I met you decades ago, and I'm familiar with your breath, so you don't have to disguise yourself with me anymore. ”
The woman was already full of silver hair and looked like she was fifty or sixty years old, but I don't know why King Han and Lord Hu called her grandmother.
"Are you Hu Suyun? Decades have passed, and you really didn't die, and if I had been a killer just now, I guess I would have died in an instant. ”
Your man in black eased up, and the dizzy feeling finally dissipated a little.
"Bold! Dare to call grandma by name! ”
"Alas~ It's okay, I'll abolish his meridians and dantian first, and interrogate him slowly in prison."
Grandma shook her head, at her age, some things have been looked down upon, but it is just a blunt statement of her name, so what?
"Interrogate me? Hmph......"
With a dull cold snort, the man in black didn't know what to do, and he fell straight to the ground.
Wu Zhong and Ma Gan stepped forward with great discernment, took off his mask, saw his old face, the blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, and through the moonlight, broke his mouth to see.
"Your Majesty, there is a poisonous sac in your mouth, and the person is already dead."
"The Liu family is so generous, taking an eighth-order master as a dead soldier, just for a simple Zhou Shen?"
King Han couldn't help but exclaim for such actions, the person behind this scene is so bold. In order to keep his nest from being discovered, he was willing to exchange the life of an eighth-order master.
Wonderful, wonderful! What a deep scheming!
"The team that escorted Zhou Shen back?"
"Zhou Shen will definitely die."
"Your Majesty..."
"Would you let someone who killed your own eighth-order master live?"
King Han looked at the two eunuchs and said coldly.
Wu Zhong and Ma Gan's cold sweat came down.
"However, everything can't be absolute, Wu Zhong and Ma Gan."
"We're here."
"Go and greet the team escorting Zhou Shen!"
Subsequently, many generals who were still in Ping'an City also arrived one after another, and the turmoil gradually subsided.
……
The night was a little deeper, and the city of peace was quiet again.
In a secret room, a figure walked from outside, with heavy footsteps and steady steps, and he felt that this person should be a person who practiced martial arts.
"Lord, the things you arranged for me have been completed, and now Zhou Shen is dead."
"Is there a mistake?"
In the shadows, a thick voice and a rather young-sounding voice were talking.
"There is no mistake, the subordinate followed the instructions, passed the book through the flying pigeon, flew over the city wall, and sent me the news. After they had killed someone, they fled in an instant. ”
"Ugly slave, you did a good job, the group of people who killed Zhou Shen, when the time is right, you can also choose to abandon it."
The thud was as simple as throwing away an inconsequential object.
"Lord, don't be so cautious..."
"I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, but don't underestimate the intensity of Hu Guo's search."
The young voice paused.
"Actually, when Zhou Shen was discovered, I should have killed him. At that time, I thought that he might still be of some use, but I didn't expect that it would hurt me. ”
The young voice is slightly cold, and the bones are slightly cold.
"Lord..."
"Say."
"I actually think that we can directly send a few more people to kill that Zhou Shen, I don't think it's worth the death of the clan elder."
"Hehe~ fool's opinion."
……
ps: I haven't gotten that thing, Baidu has checked it, and I don't dare to write more, there are too many of these things, and my book may be banned.
