Five days later, the sky had cleared, and the river was still swollen in the river.

On Zhongshan's side, in Lin Renzhao's military village, in addition to finding a few suspicious characters in the past few days, under Lin Renzhao's severe torture, it was revealed that he was sent by Li Congqing.

Now that the army is not well fed and the morale of the army is unstable, it is because Lin Renzhao intends to clean up the people who spread rumors in the army, Lin Renzhao did not hesitate to cut off their heads, and then sent people to the front army.

Within a few days, more than 100 soldiers were cut off their heads and melon seeds, and their heads were hung all over the front of the barracks, which made the soldiers of the whole battalion look bloody for a while, and there was a serious atmosphere in the military camp.

……

In Jinling City, it was now nightfall, and the sergeant who delivered the letter also told Li Congqing about the enemy's every move.

And after Li Congqing in the Zhaoqing Hall learned about it, his two hands kept rubbing, except for anger, that is, he asked the Privy Council to send more troops to the front position, and broke Lin Renzhao's army one day earlier.

After the sergeant left, Li Congqing breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt his eyelids heavy, and then he continued to fall asleep groggyly.

At night, Li Congqing had been lying on the bed, and then he couldn't tell whether there was a dream or an illusion in front of him.

"That's right, you're all hallucinators, you're all fake—"

Li Congqing didn't know if he was dreaming or in reality, anyway, he took the sword and slashed at the shadow or person in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, only a scream was heard, and the sound of a cup falling to the ground, Li Congqing woke up in a trance.

Li Congqing's eyes widened, he unexpectedly found that he was holding a sword in his hand, but there was blood dripping from the sword, and then his eyes looked at the ground, and a small chamberlain covered in blood was lying on the ground.

"Li Kui ......"

Li Congqing was stunned, he realized that he had killed someone in his dream, and immediately let go of his hand holding the sword, and then looked forward at the corpse.

Li Kui, that is, the little chamberlain, has been serving by his side since he ascended the throne, but now he is lying in a pool of blood, and his eyes have been staring at Li Congqing in front of him, as if he didn't think that the emperor in front of him would kill him by mistake.

"Ahh

At this time, Li Yannian, who came back from a night patrol outside, heard the sound, he immediately pushed open the door of the temple, and as soon as he entered, he found a bloody person lying on the carpet, and then saw Li Congqing, who was wearing obscene clothes, trembling and retreating to the place where the corpse was lying.

Li Yannian saw Li Congqing's appearance and immediately said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" ”

"Yannian, you've come just in time, I...... I've killed someone...... I...... Kill him with your own hands...... But I don't know what I'm doing, why? Li Congqing raised his head and looked at Li Yannian, and grabbed Li Yannian's ankle with one hand.

Li Yannian didn't know what to do, he squatted down, and Li Congqing snuggled in his arms like a child who had done something wrong.

Li Yannian hugged Li Congqing tightly, and he said: "Your Majesty, if you die, even if you die, Your Majesty doesn't have to take it to heart, he is just a." ”

Li Congqing suddenly cried bitterly, "If one day, I am killed, what will I do?" ”

"Your Majesty, you still have ministers."

Li Congqing raised his head, looked at Li Yannian affectionately, and said: "It's still your best, this person is damned, while I am sleeping, with bad intentions, I am merciful to kill him." ”

"Hmm." Li Yannian then carried Li Congqing back to the bed.

The silent night did not end because Li Congqing killed someone, for the emperor, killing a person is nothing, if in normal times, for Li Congqing, killing someone is like stepping on an ant.

……

In the city, tonight it was very lively, in the south corner of Jinling City, suddenly I heard a boom, the ground shook, and then a wall was suddenly blown out of a hole.

This house is the house they bought here, and Erdan has been staying in this house all these days.

That wall is very close to the dark weapon shop in the south of the city, but it is not the outer wall, but the inner wall, that is, it is separated by three or four streets.

Erdan was also startled by the sudden sound, some time ago, when he recalled the remaining memories in his mind, a steady stream of memories poured into his mind.

Erdan, his name is Shang Haobin, and he is also a student of a military academy, and he has been brought here since he searched for Zhao Dezhao's whereabouts...... He didn't want to mention the past for the time being.

Now he lives in an era at the end of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and eventually the Great Song Dynasty will end the war.

There are more important things in front of him, and they are enough to make him puzzled. It's just that the changes in the situation in the Southern Tang Dynasty now make him a little unbelievable, he remembers that the Great Song Dynasty destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty a few years later, but now the changes in the world have confused him a little, and there are other traversers.

Someone must have messed it up.

It's just that as soon as Shang Haobin thought of the traverser, he immediately thought of the other three companions, maybe one of them also crossed here.

It's just that this is just his speculation, a hypothesis.

Could it be that the cave is a node through which they have passed, a gap in time and space, but they happened to meet them at the right time and in the right place, if this is the case, he still has an idea in the future, that is, to find them one by one.

Thoughts pulled him back into reality.

In recent days, these villagers have recently been looking for a job in the city, and they found the announcement of conscription on the street, and also heard about the recent events in Jinling, the Song and Han coalition forces have broken through the quarrying defense line, and will soon attack Jinling.

The current situation is that Jinling City has been recruiting troops and horses recently, and those soldiers began to arrest people as soon as they saw that there were strong men in the people's homes.

Some of the people in the city were also terrified, often feeling that disaster was about to befall them.

In this era, soldiers are generally to have a bite to eat, but the people who are only half-hung go to serve as soldiers, first, when they start a war, the enemy's weapons do not have eyes, and secondly, their bodies are not strong, and it is very easy to die on the front line.

Therefore, Shang Haobin plans to study some life-saving tools, and this derivative substitute made of black * gun* powder can become a weapon.

The power of the black * fire * medicine gave Shang Haobin reason to believe that with this magic weapon, he could temporarily survive his life, not only to protect himself, but also to pay tribute to the imperial court.

In this day and age, there are so many things for him to protect.

At the beginning, the corrupt officials exploited the people of the merchant village, Shang Haobin was arrested because he killed an official of the other party, and almost died.

He feels that as a traverser, he has a heart and action to change the fate of people in the world.

His second girl (Zhang Pengpeng), his second girl's family and his people, if necessary, he also has to find an ethereal crossing partner.

He privately bought a lot of materials for development, sulfur, saltpeter, charcoal and other materials.

Through the development of these days, the gunpowder has almost been purified by him, although it does not meet the requirements of black * gunpowder, but it is almost the same, if Shang Haobin knows that Zhao Dezhao has been developing black * gunpowder from the beginning, and the progress and purity are higher than that, it is estimated that he is thinking why not choose to develop other things.

Tonight he was trying to see the power of gunpowder, but the answer had already been given to him, and it was indeed possible.

It's just that this gunpowder has been developed, and Shang Haobin has been thinking about the issue of firearms.

It was only when he tried to recall it that he realized that the production process was very complicated, and it was not so easy for him for the time being.

After all, one person's strength is limited, and Shang Haobin still plans in his heart that those friends will also cross over, so that they can also change more for the ancients in ancient times, change this era, and influence future generations.

At the scene, Er Niu and other villagers are looking at all this in front of them incredulously, these villagers have not seen the world, naturally do not know what this thing does, when the gunpowder detonated, they were so frightened that their hands and feet were numb, Er Niu was the same, he had been holding his hand tightly, and his face was frightened white.

"Erniu don't have to be afraid." Shang Haobin comforted Erniu, but Erniu held his hand tightly, and her face turned pale with fright.

"It's my fault, the second girl frightened you."

"Brother Erdan is right to do anything, but Erniu is so afraid, this thing is too powerful." Erniu, whose full name is Zhang Pengpeng, looked at the inner wall at the moment, and a hole was suddenly blown open in that wall, and there was still black smoke at the moment, and a thick smell of sulfur was very pungent.

Shang Haobin looked at the villagers in the courtyard, and then said, "Hehe, the dose I used just now was a bit large, which frightened the villagers." ”

At the same time, Shang Haobin also felt guilty for his recklessness, he should not have tested in the city openly, if he was discovered by the patrolling forbidden army, the villagers in this courtyard would be imprisoned.

Of course, tonight's explosion made Yang Che and others on the side of the dark weapon shop raise their guard, and tonight Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, also went to visit this place, and when he passed by this place, he also heard a loud noise, he realized the danger of this matter, and he understood what kind of harm it was.

This is gunpowder, not ordinary earth gunpowder, looking at its power, I am afraid it can also be compared with black * gunpowder * powder, who is developing this thing, making such a big move.

It's just that if this thing is held in the hands of the Tang State or other stolen people, the great cause of the unification of the Great Song Dynasty may have to be delayed.

No, he must find this person, he thinks that if he finds this person, he may be able to find another person, a person who has been looking for him for many years, and now that the four people have found three, then the remaining person must also be related to this person, maybe that person is the fourth person.

At this critical moment, how can they let unknown factors sabotage their plans. Zhao Dezhao immediately instructed Yang Che and them to immediately conduct a carpet search, making sure to find the source and catch this person.

After Zhao Dezhao went back, he also ordered Chenyuan and them to strictly control Jinling City, and every move must be monitored.
