Chapter 464: Scheming
"Before you start, I want you to think clearly about the consequences, if I die, you will inevitably die, not only the emperor will not bypass you, but my master will not bypass you, even if it is a copper-headed iron arm under the divine thunder, it will be blown into powder, I admit that I do not know the real immortal arts, and the Taiyi divine thunder is not as powerful as my master's immortal arts, but if you want to threaten me with death, then be ready to become a powder meat sauce first!" Chen Xu's face did not change, and he pushed the sword pointed at his chest a few inches away with his fingers.
"Brother Zhou, don't be reckless!" A scribe in a long robe stopped the young man.
"Then how do you say you can hand over the production method of Taiyi Divine Thunder?" The young man said as he retracted his sword fiercely.
Chen Xu shook his head: "The formula of Taiyi Divine Thunder is impossible for you, even if it is given to you, you can't make it, so you'd better die of this heart!" ”
"You~" Gongsun Beiyan was instantly furious.
"Qinghehou, say something!" A burly middle-aged man wearing a straw hat walked out.
Chen Xu was stunned for a moment and stared at the middle-aged man and said suspiciously: "I heard that your accent seems familiar, since you are acquaintances, why hide it, why don't you take your hat and see people with your true face?" ”
"Good!" The middle-aged man casually took off the straw hat, revealing a year full of scars, and the purple-red wound was extremely hideous.
"Who the hell are you?" Chen Xu couldn't help but take two steps back, this face was too terrifying.
"Hehe, the Marquis of Qinghe is really a noble person, you once went to my copper and iron workshop to ask for three slaves......"
"Are you Ran Feng? How did it come to this? Chen Xu was shocked.
"Yes, but Ran Mou became like this thanks to the Marquis of Qinghe, it was you who revealed our whereabouts to the emperor, so that my attack on Xingyuan fell short, and hundreds of sons and daughters cultivated by my Ran family died because of this, and my third brother was also beheaded to sacrifice the flag, but Ran escaped with his life, and could only cut his face incognito, so when Ran learned that the Marquis of Qinghe was going back to Wancheng to marry, he specially arranged this plan, just to see you!" Ran Feng gritted his teeth and said.
Chen Xu's face instantly became gloomy, and his eyes swept over the group of people in the ruined temple, and finally landed on a burly man standing at the end with an iron sword on his back.
This man is very imposing, very different from the demeanor of other people in the temple, there is a sense of déjà vu, Chen Xu stared at this man, as if he saw the shadow of the head of the guards in his own Hou Mansion, that is, the kind of person who looked at everyone with a slight look of arrogance and disdain.
"Hehe, I didn't guess wrong, sure enough, Zhao Gao colluded with you, otherwise how would you know that it was me who revealed your whereabouts to the emperor, since you already know, Ben Hou naturally admits it, say, what do you want to say to me?"
Chen Xu shifted his eyes back to Ran Feng, and at the same time secretly complained in his heart, it seems that the plan of the previous day may be in vain, and if the food is burned, he may only catch a group of small minions, and several masterminds are actually concentrated here.
"My third brother is dead, my twin second brother must have been caught by you now, the blood feud of my Ran clan is caused by the Marquis of Qinghe, but now you are in our hands, if you hand over the formula of Taiyi Divine Thunder, if you don't hand it over, ......"
Ran Feng waved his hand slightly, and a man pulled out a sword and pointed it at the unconscious Shui Rou's neck, "Then Ran can only kill Hou Ye's bride first, and then take Hou Ye into Funiu Mountain to torture slowly, if you don't pay it for a day, you will be tortured for a day, and if you don't pay it for a year, you will be tortured for a year, not to mention Xiaohe Village, Qinghe Town, and Hou Ye's family, when the time comes, they will be taken into the mountains together, and I am afraid that Hou Ye will not be able to bear the consequences......
"You dare!" Chen Xu instantly changed color and was furious, only feeling that the blood of his sun ** was pounding and about to squirt out.
"Haha, what don't you dare to do with Ran, I dare to kill even the emperor, what else can I be afraid of in the world, the hatred of the king, the hatred of my Great Chu to destroy the country, the blood feud of my Ran clan, can only temporarily fall on the Hou Ye, you assist the King of Qin to reform the court, make new horse equipment, create new steel weapons, and make Taiyi Shenlei, if you continue like this, the Qin State will only become stronger and stronger, and it will be more and more difficult for us to restore the country and take revenge."
"Of course, if the Marquis of Qinghe is willing to abandon the darkness and join the light to assist us in recovering the country, we can also give you mountains of gold and jade jewelry and silk silk, so that you can have endless glory and wealth and the beauty of the world for a lifetime, and you can also be a pair of fairy couples with this bride of yours!"
Ran Feng is not a big-chested young woman like Gongsun Beiyan, everything is scheming, the threat and seduction of a big stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, Chen Xu's face became more and more solemn, and his eyes became more and more cold.
In the face of Ran Feng, Chen Xu did not have the slightest confidence that he could move with emotion and reason, this kind of person had already been ignited by the flame of restoration and revenge, and he would definitely not be able to communicate like Gongsun Beiyan.
"Okay, I promise you!" After being silent for a long time, Chen Xu nodded.
"Haha, those who know the times are handsome, and those who change through the machine are heroes. Qinghehou really didn't disappoint Ran, took a pen and paper, and asked Qinghehou to write down the recipe for making Shenlei! Ran Feng laughed.
A middle-aged scribe next to him turned around and brought a stack of hemp pulp paper and pen and ink to spread on the shrine, Chen Xu did not hesitate, picked up the pen and quickly wrote down the recipe for a gunpowder.
"Nitrate, realgar and charcoal?" Looking at the few names and proportions on the paper, Ran Feng looked at Chen Xu in disbelief after reading it.
"Yes, these three items are finely ground into powder, then mixed together in the proportions I wrote, filled in a sealed crockpot, and ignited with something that ignites them to explode." Chen Xu raised his hand and pointed to the warrior standing at the end and said, "Since you are in collusion with Zhao Gao, you will know that I am not lying if you ask him!" ”
The warrior knew that Chen Xu had recognized his true identity, although his face was very difficult to see, he still nodded slightly and said: "Yes, my master also said that Qinghehou's Taiyi Divine Thunder needs to be ignited with fire before it can explode, so the master also asked me not to worry, even if Qinghehou has a divine thunder in his hand, as long as there is no fire, it will definitely not be able to release the Taiyi Divine Thunder!" ”
"Haha, I see!" Ran Feng was overjoyed, folded the hemp pulp paper and put it into his arms and hid it, waved his big hand and said: "Let's go, take Qinghehou and the bride back to Funiu Mountain first, and wait for me to successfully develop the Taiyi Shenlei in a few days, and naturally let Qinghehou leave!" ”
Several of Ran Feng's subordinates came up and grabbed Chen Xu, and two of them set up Shui Rourou and prepared to leave.
Gongsun Beiyan glared at Ran Feng angrily and said, "Could it be that Ran Gong wants to dominate the formula?" ”
Ran Feng was stunned for a moment and waved his hand and said: "Princess Wei, don't be anxious, this party still needs to be verified to know the truth, but please rest assured, after returning to the mountain, I will naturally show you the formula, today's matter depends on Princess Wei's efforts, how dare Ran enjoy it alone!" ”
"Hmph, that's good!" Gongsun Beiyan took a few steps back, a group of people cleaned up, and then led the horses to take Chen Xu and Shui to leave the mountain temple quickly and along the path to Funiu Mountain.
Although Chen Xu was riding on his own horse, he was caught in the middle by a group of people, and he could only keep praying in his heart that Wang Li could enter Funiu Mountain and join Bai Zhen in front, otherwise Wang Li would not know that when the time came, the hundreds of forbidden troops in ambush would come down with random arrows, and I was afraid that he and Shui Qingrou would die on the spot, and then he would die too unjustly.
An hour later, it was close to noon, and although the sun was strong outside, the weather was cloudy and uncertain after entering the mountain, the mountain wind roared and the clouds were shrouded in mist, and the mountain road was rugged and narrow, and the ground was slippery and difficult to walk, and it was even more impossible to escape.
And the only thing that reassured Chen Xu was that a group of people walked on the same road that Chen Xu entered the mountain last time, and with the bumps of the horses, the water in the coma gradually woke up, and after she understood the situation in front of her, she looked at Gongsun Beiyan who rode a horse beside her, tears rolled down in her eyes, and Gongsun Beiyan, who was like a sister to herself, not only robbed herself at the wedding, but also caused Chen Xu to be in a life and death crisis.
After another half an hour, the group had reached the location of the huge ancient pine, and after everyone dismounted, they went down the steep narrow path to the deep stream below the Tiger Leaping Gorge, this road Chen Xu walked once, and a group of mountain bandits were more familiar, and after almost an hour passed, they went down to the bottom of the valley and drank water and rested by the waterfall pool.
And when they got here, Ran Feng and the others also relaxed their gentle care of Chen Xu and Shui, and let the two hug each other and comfort each other.
"Chen Lang, it was the gentleness that hurt you!" Shui's eyes were red from crying softly.
"Don't be sad, after two days they have verified the formula of the divine thunder, they will naturally let us go!" Chen Xu's mouth was comforting, but his eyes were secretly searching around the waterhole.
As long as Zhao Gao's subordinates are here, it is basically impossible for them to leave alive.
Zhao Gao's purpose was definitely to kill him in this vast mountain.
As for how Zhao Gao found Ran Feng and Gongsun Beiyan, I'm afraid the inside story is even more complicated.
The original princes and grandsons intermarried with each other, and the relationship between the nobles was more intertwined, which is also the reason why Qin Shi Huang was unwilling to kill the six kings and grandsons, Qin Shi Huang's mother was from Zhao, and the wife of his grandfather Qin Huiwen, who later became the Empress Dowager of Qin Xuan, was the princess of Chu, once killed, it would cause turmoil in the high-level of Qin, and many of Qin Shi Huang's wives were princesses and princesses of the former six countries, and it would be unstable to kill the harem, and the hatred of the country was big enough, plus the hatred of extermination, I'm afraid that the son who is born will also be taught messily.
In a word, no matter how heavy Qin Shi Huang's killing intentions were, when facing the six kings and nobles, he also needed to carefully consider the overall situation after the unification of Qin.
Chen Xu's eyes swept wildly, and he finally found a king character carved with a sharp blade on a stone not far away, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
