Chapter 203: Gunpowder!

"It's... Why is that? Captain Meng couldn't close his mouth in shock, how could a mountain peak turn into a hill in the blink of an eye, this is not something that human power can do at all.

Only Yang Yi and the others knew that the middle of this small mountain peak was originally empty, but for some reason it suddenly collapsed, and it naturally changed its appearance.

And Yang Yi guessed that this was probably the ghost of the blue-eyed eagle, his secret was discovered by Dou Xu, and Dou Xu would force him to hand over his belongings, but all the valuable things of the blue-eyed eagle were in Yang Yi, what would he hand over?

It is estimated that the guy Qingmu Ying was also forced by Dou Xu, and the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry and used some jade burning method to make the whole mountain collapse, and now it seems that Dou Xu and Qingmu Eagle are uncertain about their life and death.

"It's... This... How so! Captain Meng was already completely panicked, and even trembled a little when he spoke.

Of course, he was not frightened by the collapse of this hill, but was worried about Dou Xu's safety, or his own safety.

The Chengzhou army has always had an iron law, the main general is killed in battle, and the generals under his command may be punished, ranging from being punished to being beheaded.

As one of Dou Xu's lieutenants, once something happens to Dou Xu, it will be difficult for him to get rid of his involvement, so he doesn't know what to do at this time, and his mind is full of his own life.

Yang Yi sighed and condensed: "General Meng, at this time, you should quickly gather soldiers to dig up the mountain and rescue my teacher." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Call someone! Gotta call someone right away! Captain Meng kept rubbing his hands and said hurriedly.

Yang Yi glanced at Captain Meng, and said: "In addition, it is necessary to send people to strictly guard the captured bandits, don't let those people have trouble again, and at the same time send a herald to report the situation here to the Chengzhou Mansion." ”

With Yang Yi's analysis, Captain Meng finally calmed down and immediately followed Yang Yi's suggestion to let his subordinates go forward to pass the order.

Yang Yi saw that Captain Meng was a little confused, and knew what he was worried about, so he reassured: "General Meng, don't worry too much, when my teacher had an accident, you were organizing the army to suppress bandits, which we all can see very clearly. ”

Of course, Yang Yi didn't say such a thing because the bodhisattva's heart was overflowing, now Dou Xu's life and death are uncertain, the army is easy to have an accident without the backbone, there are still many bandits in the Wuxian Village under the mountain, if there is no army protection, Yang Yi and the others will not be too easy to get out of the mountain safely, so he must stabilize the army's heart.

Captain Meng was inexplicably surprised when he heard this, Yang Yi is Dou Xu's student, and he is not in the Chengzhou army, if Yang Yi can help him say two good words when he returns to Chengzhou, he can withstand any of his justifications, and it is absolutely no problem to keep Xiang Shang's head.

At that moment, Captain Meng hurriedly bowed and said: "Gongzi A helps each other righteously, and he is grateful to Dade." ”

Yang Yi said: "General Meng doesn't need to be polite, it is imperative that we rescue my teacher as soon as possible." ”

In ancient times, when there was a lack of mechanical equipment, it was extremely difficult to rescue the buried people from the collapsed mountains. It took more than 3,000 people in the Chengzhou army nine days to finally dig out the people buried inside, including Dou Xu and Qingmu Ying.

Their bodies were naturally stinking and rotting, and there was no need to investigate whether they had been stoned to death or buried in the ground and starved to death. If it was according to Yang Yi's idea, he would have dragged the army back to Chengzhou Mansion a long time ago, and thousands of people spent half a month here for a rotten corpse, which was simply full of food.

However, it was not without discovery, the first thing that Yang Yi didn't expect was that the guy Qingmu Eagle still had private goods.

When the corpse of the blue-eyed eagle was dug up, there was a box of gold next to this guy, although it was not comparable to the ten boxes of treasure that Yang Yi had stolen, it was worth five or six thousand taels of silver.

Yang Yi guessed that this blue-eyed eagle was already full of blood when he found out that his big treasure had been looted, and Dou Xu also asked him to hand over his only small box, and this guy went completely crazy. has been blowing the mountain wind in the mountains for decades, and has been a dog for Dou Xu for decades, and in the end, Dou Xu will even have to take away the last bit of his belongings (Qingmu Eagle must have thought that his ten boxes of treasures were also taken away by Dou Xu. In the end, this guy's mentality exploded, and he simply burned the jade.

And Yang Yi's other major discovery is how the blue-eyed eagle collapsed the mountain and died with Dou Xu.

Gunpowder! That's right, it's gunpowder, the smell of gray powder rushing to the nose, Yang Yi will definitely not smell wrong.

Yang Yi was surprised, you must know that he had already consulted the history of the Great Light Dynasty, there was no offensive gunpowder in this era, and the technology of gunpowder still stayed in the production of fireworks.

Could it be that the blue-eyed eagle makes explosives? Thinking of this, Yang Yi only felt that his scalp was numb, he knew very little about this kind of thing in his previous life, but it didn't mean that he didn't know what the appearance of explosives meant, it would be a change in the times.

At this time, Monkey Jian'er and Tie Niu saw Yang Yi squatting on the ground in a daze, and stepped forward to check.

"Childe, what's wrong?" Monkey Jian'er squatted next to him and wondered.

Yang Yi smeared a little gunpowder, rubbed it on his fingers, and asked, "Have you ever seen this thing?" ”

"Isn't that what's inside a firecracker?" Monkey replied without hesitation.

Yang Yi glanced at him and said, "Of course Lao Tzu knows that it's what's inside the firecrackers, I mean... I mean, have you seen anything other than firecrackers? ”

Monkey Jian'er shook his head suspiciously, he didn't know why Yang Yi was asking this, could it be that it was almost the New Year, and he needed to prepare firecrackers?

"I know where else I've seen it!" The iron bull behind him said suddenly.

Seeing Yang Yi and Monkey Jian'er turning their heads to look at him, Tie Niu scratched his head and smiled: "Monkey Jian'er, have you forgotten that a few years ago, when the two of us were in Yazhou, we went to a Taoist priest's house to steal things?" ”

Monkey Jian'er's eyes seemed to be round, and he suddenly said: "Yes, yes, yes!" That Taoist priest is an alchemist and has a lot of these things in his house! ”

"Alchemist?" Yang Yi frowned.

Monkey Jian'er said: "Yes, I heard that many alchemists will use this thing, what's wrong, son?" Are you looking for pills to eat? ”

Yang Yi glanced at him and smiled: "Come on, I don't think my life is long enough to eat there, if you want to die quickly, go eat more." ”

After speaking, Yang Yi stopped talking about this topic, no matter how clear it was, they didn't understand it, but this matter must be investigated slowly, and they couldn't rush for a while, obviously even the blue-eyed eagle himself didn't expect the power of gunpowder to be so huge.

Judging from the current scene, Yang Yi can probably deduce what happened here, it should be Dou Xu who took hundreds of soldiers into the mountain with him in order to know the secret of the Qingmu Eagle, and because Yang Yi and others stole the Qingmu Eagle's belongings, the conflict between the two of them intensified, and finally both of them were burned.

The blue-eyed eagle didn't blow up the entire mountain, he couldn't have such a powerful explosive, he should have blown up a corner of the mountain, because the middle of the mountain was empty like a bamboo tube, causing the whole mountain to have no focus point, and it collapsed.

Yang Yi sighed, did he sigh for the two guys Dou Xu and Qingmu Eagle, these two people are not good people, and they have definitely done a lot of hurtful things in their lives, but it is a pity that those hundreds of innocent sergeants were killed in a foreign land, and their deaths are naturally inseparable from Yang Yi.

Captain Meng, who was not far away, saw Yang Yi's sad face, thinking that he was mourning for his teacher, and stepped forward to comfort: "Gongzi Jia, Lord Dou died bravely and died well, you don't have to be too sad." ”

Yang Yi pretended to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said bitterly: "The teacher treats me like a mountain, like a teacher like a father, but the teacher died at the hands of the bandits, and I only hate that the students can't go to Huangquan bravely instead of the teacher!! ”

But he secretly said in his heart: "Lord Dou, there is a debtor who is wronged, but I didn't kill you, you will settle accounts with Qingmu Eagle below, I will call you a teacher here, and crying for you can be regarded as giving you enough face, don't think I don't know what you are doing, if you find Yuhuan, you will definitely click me with a knife to seal it, but it's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and you can still be an official in the next life, or be a good official." ”

Since Dou Xu's body has been found, there is no point in staying in the mountains, although Yang Yi is very disappointed and still does not know the news about Yuhuan from the mouths of these bandits, but the Chengzhou army feels that this battle can be regarded as a great success, not only caught most of the bandit leaders on the Shu Road, but also Yang Yi arrogantly distributed the treasure of the Qingmu Eagle as a trophy to the soldiers, and the morale was high for a while.

According to the rules of the army in the past, the expensive booty captured in wartime was usually kept by the main general, and even if the army was rewarded, it was necessary to wait until the return to send some copper coins down, but the soldiers below definitely got far less than the loot.

With a wave of Yang Yi's big hand, the soldiers were immediately overjoyed, but Captain Meng was worried that Yang Yi would be questioned by the Assassin Mansion after he went back like this.

Yang Yi explained: "The main general is dead, the morale of the army is weak, I am forced to do this, I will find a way to make up the spoils of war and hand it over to the Assassin Mansion when I return to Chengzhou Mansion, everything still has to wait for us to go back." ”

For Yang Yi, who has just made a windfall, this amount of money is not enough to worry about, in the eyes of outsiders, he is not a military general of Chengzhou Prefecture, and such a big crime as buying the hearts of the army naturally cannot fall on his head. Only Yang Yi himself knows that these Chengzhou soldiers may be his own family in the future, how can he not take care of them?

Captain Meng ordered his subordinates to collect the bodies of Dou Xu and all the officers and soldiers, and on the second day, the whole army drove back to Chengzhou Mansion.

This time he entered Shu Dao to suppress bandits for more than a month, and although Yang Yi failed to get the news he wanted, he still gained quite a lot. Not to mention the huge amount of treasures obtained from the blue-eyed eagle, Yang Yi also got a valuable message--- the bandits are very rich!
