"I chose it on a rainy day, maybe it was to create the illusion of a lightning strike. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info The world knows that water and fire are mutually reinforcing, but they don't know that everything varies from place to place and from time to time. The army is about to be launched, and the grain and grass are carefully stored, and the top is covered with oilcloth to prevent moisture. If it burns from the inside, as long as it becomes a momentum, it will not be afraid of rain. As for the crater......"

After a pause, Zhang Baoer hesitated slightly: "Although I don't know, someone knows that when he arrives in Luoyang, all this will come to fruition!" ”

"Who has such a great ability?"

"We'll find out then!"

After that, Zhang Baoer hit the horse and galloped forward.

An Bozhu looked at Zhang Baoer's back suspiciously, and also followed.

Zhang Baoer lives in the backyard of the Luoyang Post House, where there is a peach forest. This season, the peach blossoms have fallen, and the lush peach forest is full of green. The new peaches are first ripe, and most of them are shyly hidden at the bottom of the leaves, but the fragrance of the fruit is already filled with all around. At the end of the peach forest, Wei Xianyun was already waiting leisurely. A plate of red hearts on the table was freshly picked, and the peach leaves on the branches were still verdant. The wine is poured into freshly drawn well water to remove the heat and then poured into a bottle.

"Sir, you're here at last!" Zhang Baoer looked at the familiar back and showed a childlike smile: "I finally looked forward to you!" ”

According to the original plan, Zhang Baoer and Wei Xianyun were going to Luoyang together. After receiving the urgent news, Zhang Baoer hurried to Luoyang in advance, he was afraid of Wei Xianyun's weak body, so he did not let Wei Xianyun go with him, but let him arrive in a carriage. In this way, he naturally arrived a few days later than Zhang Baoer.

Wei Xianyun laughed and said: "Bao'er, your suppression of the rebellion is spread in the streets and alleys of Luoyang, and even I feel thrilled when I hear it!" ”

"Sir, do you believe that?" Zhang Bao'er scratched her head embarrassedly.

"What's going on with the burning of military rations?" Wei Xianyun asked bluntly.

"I was just about to talk to my husband about this!"

Zhang Bao'er told Wei Xianyun what he saw and heard when he went to the grain and grass camp, and after that, Zhang Bao'er asked, "Sir, are you proficient in alchemy?" ”

"I know a little."

"Yay." Zhang Bao'er took out a small bag from her sleeve, and when she opened it, it was the black powder taken from the ruins of the grain and grass camp, "Sir, do you know what this is?" ”

Wei Xianyun took it, looked at it carefully, and sniffed it on the side of his nose again. Twist the coarse grains with your hands and place them on the tip of your tongue, and immediately a bitter smell comes from you.

"It's saltpeter!" Wei Xianyun affirmed.

"I don't know what the medicinal properties of saltpeter are?"

"Saltpeter is a talent for adjuvant work, but it is very strong. Sun Zhenren passed down the sulfur fire method, which has a fine, sulfur, saltpeter, soaphorn, the three are mixed, placed in the pot and ignited, can remove the sulfur in the fierceness, but this method must be cautious. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The sulfur is fierce, and the saltpeter is the cold, and once the excess is out of control, there will be amazing things."

Hearing this, Zhang Baoer's eyes lit up even more: "What's the matter?" ”

"There was once a Taoist who lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain, refining pills according to Sun Zhenren's method. Because of his eagerness, he blew up the Dan furnace and mutilated his arms. ”

"So the drug could cause a burst?"

"If you use it in large quantities, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable."

Zhang Baoer put away the saltpeter and put it back into his sleeve, knowing the matter in his heart.

……

The night was misty, and there was silence in Luoyang City. Just after the sound of the drums, two birdsongs were heard from the street corner. After a while, there were two more sounds, this time in a private house. The previous shadow poked its head out of the wall and knocked on it, and soon a package was thrown out of it, followed by someone climbing over the wall.

"How?"

"Shh

Two figures slipped out of the alley and stumbled around the corner to a secluded corner. In the moonlight, it was two teenagers in rags.

"What's inside?"

"This box is so exquisite, I guess it's a good thing!" The man who had climbed out of the wall earlier was triumphant.

Swallowing his saliva, the young man who looked at the wind snorted, "Why don't we open it and take a look?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the words had been intercepted by the slightly older one: "Didn't you say that the stolen things would be divided together?" ”

"Hey, hide some quietly, and the boss won't know...... And we'll only take some pieces of silver......"

When this sentence was spoken, the other one was also a little tempted, looked at each other hesitantly, and finally nodded as if determined: "Okay, but you can't say it!" ”

"Don't worry, I came up with the idea, how can I vent my own bottom."

The two excitedly opened the package, revealing a beautifully carved mahogany box. The box was not locked, only the latch was loosely placed horizontally. Remove the latch and open it carefully......

……

"Brother Bao'er!" In the middle of the night, Yan Gu hurriedly took Zhou Shuang to see Zhang Baoer.

Zhang Baoer knew that Yan Gu came to him at this time, and there must be something urgent.

"My lord, I inquired about a piece of news and thought it would be useful to you, so I came to see you!" Zhou Shuang saluted Zhang Baoer.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Baoer asked.

Zhou Shuang reached out and grabbed a child from behind like a chicken, looking thirteen or fourteen years old, ragged, and his eyes were extremely flexible. He was short, hiding behind Zhou Shuang, and he couldn't see his figure at all.

"Who is this?" Zhang Baoer looked at the child strangely.

Zhou Shuang replied: "He is a beggar in the city, and he is also the eyeliner I arranged......"

Zhang Bao'er looked at the little beggar and said, "Tell me what's going on?" ”

"This ...... This one...... Last night, Gua Ge and I went to a house...... That...... That one...... Picked up a box ......"

Seeing him spitting and spitting, Zhang Baoer immediately understood what the so-called "pick-up" was all about, and said quietly: "Then what?" ”

"And then ......"

Listening to the child explain the matter in detail, Zhang Baoer did not speak, and looked at the contents of the box: the topographical map of the grain and grass camp, the letters exchanged with Li Chongfu, as well as silver tickets and some things.

It can be judged that the owner of this box is Zhang Lingjun, and Zhang Lingjun, who has not been found for so long, is hiding in this house. Moreover, all the evidence shows that he planned the burning of military rations.

After sending Zhou Shuang and the little beggar away, Zhang Baoer no longer felt sleepy, and he muttered to himself: "I didn't expect the fish that slipped through the net to make big waves!" ”

Zhang Baoer notified Xue Ne overnight and sent someone to search this house, but who knew that Zhang Lingjun actually got the news in advance and slipped away overnight!

Zhang Baoer called Wei Xianyun, and the two discussed until dawn.

The next morning, more heavily armed soldiers appeared in Luoyang City, and they began to investigate the surrounding area with the family where Zhang Lingjun had fled.
