On the hill, Yan Sui's eyes flashed a trace of confusion, and he turned his head and slowly glanced at the surrounding terrain, there were many low hillside woods nearby, if he wanted to find any ambush, it was almost impossible.

But there really wasn't any unusual movement down there, and things were going in the direction he wanted.

He finally turned around slowly.

Zeng Bufan's eyes were withdrawn from the grain depot below, and he said happily: "It's okay, this time the grain depot is burned, the horse farm is in chaos, and the Tang family has suffered heavy losses." ”

His gaze froze.

Then he rubbed his eyes.

Ahead, among the mountains and bushes covered with frost in the dark night, suddenly fell crookedly, and a ...... flew Butterfly?

Where do butterflies come from in this weather?

Everyone present thought they were dazzled, Yan Sui turned around and saw the butterfly, slowly stopping in his palm.

The butterfly's thin wings trembled in the cold wind, and it seemed as if it was about to die from frost.

In winter, some butterflies will overwinter as adults, but they will only hide in warm and sheltered places and will never fly in this cold night. Yan Sui's eyes flashed, and he turned his head to look at the granary, and the butterfly suddenly struggled to fly, and fell crookedly to the west.

Yan Sui was silent for a moment, and then followed.

The group naturally followed, Zeng Bufan looked at Yan Sui's back in bewilderment, and finally couldn't help but take a step forward, and said: "This butterfly is weird, how can there be butterflies in this season, it can't be ......"

Chinese's heart jumped: "Beast!" ”

He thought of a possibility, and immediately looked at Yan Sui's back, Zeng Bufan had already said, "Beast control? Isn't that the stunt of Miss Tang Jialiu? But she hasn't been back to northern Sichuan for a long time......"

Chinese suddenly became more nervous, could it be Lord Wen? After all, Tang Muzhi's whistle skills were passed on to Master Wen alone!

Yan Sui didn't look back, just followed the butterfly and swept away, and not long after, a few more trembling butterflies joined the team, and then a shivering bird came, this shabby guide team took Yan Sui and his subordinates like this, across a small river, a few miles of plains, and finally stopped at the back of a small hill, Yan Sui raised his head, watching the butterflies in the cold air last flutter their wings a few times, and then fell straight down on the frost on the ground.

The short path of guidance exhausted these beautiful creatures, the last of their lives.

When he looked up again, he saw the faintly shining tip of a knife among the pitch-black trees on the hill, and heard the slight sound of horses' hooves wrapped in cotton cloth restlessly trampling on the frozen ground.

I saw clearly the black shadows hidden on the mountain, Tang Xiaocheng in the front of the black shadows, and the ingenious position where he could rush down and go straight to the granary by swooping.

It was opposite one of the largest barns at the back of the granary.

Yan Sui stood in the shadows, staring at Tang Xiaocheng's back, and stretched out his hand.

The Japanese understood it, took out all kinds of small parts from under the robe, quickly assembled them, and after a few moments sent a very small bow and crossbow, the whole body was pitch black, and the tips of the arrows were silvery.

Yan Sui bent the bow and took the arrow.

At the bottom of the slope, he aimed at Tang Xiaocheng's heart on the slope.

In an instant, Tang Xiaocheng seemed to be aware, Huo Ran looked back, his eyes searched for a while, and he didn't see anyone, but he vaguely saw a faint flash of silver light in the shadows of the buildings under the mountain.

He was already very alert, and subconsciously dragged the strategists around him behind him!

"Whew!"

The silver light flew over the hill like the moonlight in an instant, through the cold light of the frost armor of the night, through the red tassel on the elite helmet, through the chest of the strategist and the neck of the strategist's horse, and finally through the chest that Tang Xiaocheng had just twisted.

The moment the tip of the silver-white arrow turned bright red, the look of vigilance and shock on his face still lingered.

Perhaps he should have had a chance to escape, but the severe injury of his broken arm and the night's waiting consumed the last of his energy.

Tang Xiaocheng finally twisted his body with difficulty, looking at the thick black shadow, his hand slowly raised, as if he wanted to make a gesture.

Under the dark curtain of fate that was gradually closing, he saw the tall figure slowly walking out of the black shadow, saw the black bow and white arrow in the man's hand flashing faintly, saw his gaze penetrate his chest, and then went down, extending to the fire that could be reached by a swoop.

Suddenly there was a rumbling sound in the distance, and the sound was so violent that even the horses on the hill jumped to their feet.

Tang Xiaocheng's gradually chaotic thoughts suddenly woke up, and he turned his head to look in that direction - that was where the Tang family's arsenal was!

The shaking ......

He turned his head to look at Yan Sui again in disbelief, but saw the figure in the distance, pointed in the direction of the arsenal, and made a decapitation gesture coldly.

Tang Xiaocheng burst into his heart.

Hit the trick!

Just as he used the grain depot as bait to lure Yan Sui into the trap, Yan Sui also used the grain depot and himself as bait to lure him into the trap! He didn't mean to burn the grain depot at all, his fundamental purpose was the armament depot!

He pretended to go all out to attack the Machang Grain Depot, personally supervised the battle, and stumbled himself and the elite of the Tang family, but in fact, he sent a master, and he didn't know what method to use, and really blew up the impregnable arsenal!

Tonight, I am cheating, all parties are calculating, and those who count people will always calculate it, and in the end, the Tang family is still defeated!

And he failed miserably, and he didn't even have a chance to do it again.

Tang Xiaocheng gasped sharply, his fingers spasmed a few times in the air, as if he wanted to scratch at the scattered vitality, and it seemed that he also wanted to salvage the more and more unpredictable future caused by tonight's miss.

He felt a strong sense of remorse in his heart, regretting that he had not listened to Tang Xianzhi's advice before, and stayed in front of the armament depot, vainly trying to trap Yan Sui with a small number of horses in the horse farm and a granary of old grain, but in the end he lost the most important armament of the Tang family.

Regret should not be ......

The last thought was not finished in time.

Bang, the third head of the Tang family, the head of the four major thorns, Tang Xiaocheng, who ruled the three states of northern Sichuan for twenty years, fell off his horse.

The sound of the fall was dull, as if announcing the end of an era.

His eyes were wide open until he died, and there was a question he could never figure out.

Why did Yan Sui suddenly appear behind him?

How did he find him exactly in this plain, which is full of large and small hillsides?

……

Under the hillside, Yan Sui slowly retracted his bow.

Behind him, Zeng Bufan looked excited, stepped forward, and exclaimed: "Good archery!" He really shot Tang Xiaocheng with an arrow......"

His voice stopped abruptly.

Yan Sui turned around with a bow, the black bow and white arrow in his hand, and the tip of the arrow was already aimed at his chest at some point.

Zeng Bufan's eyes were shocked, he took a step back, and frowned: "Your Highness, what are you doing!" ”

Chinese, who was standing behind him, suddenly stepped forward, twisted his arm, and with a bang, a dagger hidden under his elbow fell to the ground.

The three of them, who were still in the dark, looked shocked.

Chinese said coldly: "Bufan, what are you doing!" ”

Zeng Bufan glared at the knife and said angrily: "Why, I am a martial artist, and it is also a crime to bring a knife to defend myself?" Two generations of our Zeng family sacrificed their lives for His Highness, and in the end they were treated like this? ”

His expression was calm, his attitude was angry, and he was not weak-hearted, the four guards couldn't help but loosen their expressions a little, Zeng Bufan became more and more angry the more he spoke, and he actually took a step forward against the tip of Yan Sui's arrow, but Yan Sui did not retreat, nor did he feel guilty or uneasy, his arm was as stable as iron, and even moved the tip of the arrow that was originally facing his chest upwards and moved it to the position of his throat, so that Zeng Bufan could die faster.

Zeng Bufan: "......"

Yiwang is difficult to deal with, and I have seen it.

He didn't dare to be aggressive anymore, and softened his tone and said, "Your Highness, have you misunderstood something......

"In the end, Tang Xiaocheng is gesturing with you."

Yan Sui's words made Zeng Bufan dumbfounded.

After a while, he reluctantly said, "No......"

"It's worthy of Tang Xiaocheng, and he still thinks about calculating me when he dies." Yan Sui said, "It's a pity that your city is too shallow, and you can see the bottom at a glance." ”

Zeng Bufan was speechless.

He thought that being upright was not weak-hearted, but he didn't know that any pretension in front of this person was in vain.

After a while, he laughed dumbly: "My father has died for you, why should my brother and sister still die for you?" ”

Yan Sui said lightly: "I didn't ask you to sell your life. ”

Zeng Bufan gritted his teeth and bowed his head, Yan Sui gave them the opportunity to choose, he chose to stay at that time, because he wanted to avenge his father, but later he was discovered by Tang Xianzhi, he thought that he would definitely die, and he didn't want Tang Xian's words to make him move his heart at that time.

Tang Xianzhi said: "Have you thought about it, is your father's real enemy really our Tang family?" ”

"Your father is the bloodline of the Li family, and it should be his right to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. Why did he have to come to the Tang family to do this meticulous work, so that General Li would recognize him? Old General Li and your father have father and son, how can they be so ruthless? In the end, it's just that the superior needs him to do this, and he has to persecute your father. ”

People's subconscious is always more inclined to blood relatives, Zeng Bufan thought about it, it is true that only Yan Sui's persecution will cause his grandfather to refuse to recognize his father's illegitimate son, forcing him to pretend to be against his biological father, and take the risk of lurking in the Tang family, in order to return to the glory of the family, and finally be in a different place.

Tang Xianzhi is a superior person who is very good at grasping people's psychology, and he does not ask him to do anything, but only asks him to make a move when the Tang family needs it.

Like, tonight.

For the sake of his father, in order to have a different opinion with him, he insisted on lurking the safety of his sister of the Tang family as a maidservant, and finally nodded.

When he saw Tang Xiaocheng's gesture, his dagger was already attached to his elbow.

After all, it fell short.

"How Your Highness Discovered ......"

"From the point where you are always hinting that there is something wrong with the eldest prince of Tang." Yan Sui didn't look at him, "You have taken off your deeds in the past, although there are no taboos, but you are not a villain who tells right and wrong." ”

Zeng Bufan sighed.

Yan Sui had already ignored him, signaled Chinese and the others to escort people up, and took advantage of the fact that Tang Xiaocheng's death was still in chaos, and quickly left, and plundered the granary himself from the other direction.

The fire in the granary has not been extinguished, but the largest one that burns the most has almost burned out because of the most fires, and there are still sporadic flames clinging to the collapsed roof beams, and there are rising black smoke everywhere.

Removing the broken wood and scorched bricks, under a broken beam, he saw a small, curled up, corpse.

He stared at the corpse for a long time, never thinking that the tall girl would shrink into such a small ball, like a baby, returning to the scorched earth.

Yan Sui squatted down, took off the big gun, wrapped up the small ball, and then saw a flash of golden light, but it was a gold medal, which was pressed under Tang Muzhi's body, so it was not burned.

The gold medal has a small line engraved with a fingernail.

Wen Zhen, I want to be buried under the maple tree in Desheng Palace.

Yan Sui looked at the gold medal for a while and wrapped it with the corpse.

The last words chose to say to Wen Zhen, do you not trust him to do it?

Maple trees at Tokusho Palace...... Is it because you like the maple red and the fire?

He wrapped the big ball, a small ball, really like a baby, he held the ball in his arms, and patted it gently like a baby.

Let's go back to the origin and return to the beginning of life, Tang Muzhi.

Don't meet the Tang family again in the next life.

Don't meet me again.

……

Time goes back in time to before the loud bang happened.

Lin Qing took a few people and did not go directly to the arsenal, but to a hill behind the arsenal.

The hill is very low and barren, except for a few messy shrubs, not even decent trees grow, and the road is particularly rough, so few people go there.

And because the hill has an unobstructed view, it is in the view of the arsenal watchtower, so there is no need to send people to garrison it.

Lin Qing changed his clothes halfway through, wearing a mottled gray-green power suit, everyone wore that, in Wen Zhen's words, it was called camouflage uniform.

As soon as the garment entered the mountain, the man became a part of the mountain.

Lin Qing also has a similar military uniform in the army, but the color configuration is not in place, and he secretly praises the cheap daughter-in-law in his heart.

A short man in front of him, who had navigated through the mountains, came to a halt in front of a huge rock, and then, lifting the rock, there was a tunnel.

Lin Qing and a group of people went down the tunnel, and under the tunnel was a simple secret room, with buckets of black iron barrels inside. There are also straight ropes and non-ropes, and some strangely shaped tools. There was also a secret room next door, but it was exactly the appearance of a dormitory, with a bed and quilt, and a large amount of dry food and water.

There is a separate tunnel above the secret room, but it is only a small hole, and normal men can't enter it at all.

Lin Qing stood at the entrance of the cave and waited for a while, and after a while, a dwarf covered in mud came out backwards, dragging an extremely thin and long spiral pole behind him.

The dwarf's face was extremely pale, as if he hadn't seen sunlight for a long time, and after withdrawing, he said slowly: "It's still three feet away, but the direction has changed, and I suspect that the underground pig iron over there must be three inches thick." ”

He also spoke slowly and hard, as if he hadn't spoken to someone in a long time.

Lin Qing took the pole on the side, according to the dwarf teaching, pressed the mechanism, the pole turned out to be hollow, popped out a rod, popped out again, and finally the entire length of the pole actually crossed the entire secret room, Lin Qing tested the hardness of the pole, it was the pole at the very front as thin as chopsticks, still hard and incoherent.

There are people around: "In the past few years, this group of people have eaten and lived here, in order to avoid being discovered, they almost do not go out of the hole, and only a dry food and water are sent every other month by a special person." We have tried many methods, this armament depot of the Tang family is very well guarded, within ten miles of the surrounding area, the walls are clear, and no plants and buildings are allowed to remain. The entire arsenal is made of pig iron, and various settings are waterproof and fireproof. The sentry began to be arranged ten miles away, and there were eight watchtowers in four directions. Heavily guarded. Not to mention the various heavy weapons on the fortress. In short, even a team of heavy cavalry will not be able to break through this steel fortress. ”

"After Tang Xianzhi began to actually take over the position of the head of the Tang family, the arsenal was transformed again, before the arsenal had a special setting to monitor the underground, so as not to be dug tunnels, so His Royal Highness ordered the dark guards to come here, the dark guards were short, digging tunnels that could only be crawled by the dark guards, and it was not easy to be discovered, we finally determined the specific location of the gunpowder magazine through several years of listening, and after accurate measurement, it has been moving forward according to that route, but after Tang Xianzhi came, he ordered to pour pig iron under the armory depot. Especially the gunpowder magazine that we need to get our hands on. ”

"And his monitoring mechanism has been upgraded, and now it's almost impossible to dig tunnels for people to pass through, no matter how small. And once discovered, a few years of planning were ruined. ”

"That's where our plans come to a halt."

"Until His Highness brought this back from Pugan."

Someone once held an animal covered in scales, with a pointed head and a long tail, and small eyes that were very flexible.

Lin Qing had never seen this kind of animal, but his eyes lit up when he looked at its scales. I have understood what this thing does.

"This is a pangolin, and the local people call it a pangolin." The Dark Guard tied the pole to the pangolin, "This one has been domesticated for a year, and now it's up to it to go the last three feet." ”

"It's just a question of how to get it to go straight the path we want it to take."

"What does it eat?" Lin Qing asked.

"I love termites the most." Someone pulled out a bag.

Lin Qing took the bag, took out a little termite egg, and wiped it on the mouth of the pangolin, the pangolin stretched out its slender tongue and licked it, and Lin Qing tied the remaining bag to the front of the pole.

The Dark Guard nodded in approval. Put the pangolin in. Tie a long rope to the tail. When the pole mechanism is opened, it will continue to drill forward in a spiral on its own under impact.

After a while, I felt that the pangolin was no longer moving forward, and dragged the pangolin out again, this time not only tying the termite bag, but also replacing it with a drill bit, which was a watering can-shaped thing with the front end.

Put the pangolin in again, this time someone followed to the front of the tunnel for people to crawl, and used a long stick to hold the pangolin, so that it would not come back soon, the pangolin was a little irritable in the burrow, and always couldn't eat termites, so he couldn't stop using his long nose to push the pole, and every time he topped it, the small pot in front of it spewed out some liquid, and sprayed it on the pig iron at the bottom of the gunpowder magazine.

Lin Qing was already amazed by this method and couldn't help shaking his head.

After that, the liquid in the small pot can corrode pig iron, but it takes time.

Even more leaky ticking, everyone was a little anxious, if the corrosion could not be completed before dawn, the chance of being found would be higher, and there would be no more chance in the future.

Suddenly, the people inside suddenly retreated, but they didn't bring out the pangolin, and everyone was shocked.

Sure enough, the pangolin was found!

on the ground.

Now.

A soldier who was in charge of listening to the ground raised his hand and poked it fiercely, then pulled it out, and looked dumbfounded at the long-headed, flat-tailed, scaly monster struggling on the tip of the spear.

"What is this?"

Another team leader in charge of monitoring walked by, and saw that it was not a human, but just a strange animal, and immediately put his mind at ease, and said disapprerovitously: "It must be some kind of rat that lives underground." Let it go. Childe suddenly issued an urgent order to transfer all the gunpowder bullets, that thing is troublesome to adjust, hurry up and get to work. Otherwise, when the prince arrives, I see that we haven't finished yet, and I'm afraid that we will have to eat and hang. ”

The soldier looked underneath and saw no passages, how much dirt could an animal turn over? And can it penetrate the pig iron under the gunpowder magazine?

I just let it go.

……

The people below waited with bated breath for a long time, but there was no abnormal movement above, so they put their minds at ease.

It's just that the pangolin is gone, and I don't know how much corrosive liquid will be sprayed out, and whether it can succeed depends on luck.

Lin Qing looked at the time, immediately made a decision, and said, "Do it!" ”

People quickly assembled the thin iron pipes in the corners of the wall, section by section, the end has a handle, the front end is very sharp, almost like a round sharp serration, starting from the tunnel dug by the dwarf, and then introducing the channel dug out by the pangolin, until the top of the front head is no top, it is estimated that it has reached the bottom of the pig iron layer. A few gnomes got into it, holding down the joints, and everyone grabbed the handle at the end of the tunnel and spun it vigorously.

The pipe is very long, it is difficult to exert force, Lin Qing looked at it for a while, and went into battle in person, he had strong internal strength, resisted the pipe, twisted it a few times, and suddenly the pipe moved forward slightly.

Although it was only an extremely small forward, the crowd couldn't help but let out a low cheer.

Because that means that the corrosive liquid has indeed been sprayed on the pig iron layer and sprayed very effectively, the pig iron layer has been corroded, and then it has been cut by the serration of the 100 refined steel in front of the iron pipe, and it has been broken!

After everyone cheered, they continued to exert their strength, and the pipe pushed forward little by little, until suddenly there was no help, and it rushed forward, and everyone also rushed forward, Lin Qing was at the forefront, plunging into the dirt of the tunnel, his face was full of mud, but he laughed happily.

With Yan Sui Wenzhen, there are indeed surprises every day.

Although he guessed what to do next, Lin Qing couldn't help but admire when he saw it. Someone dragged out the stiff rope, very long, very hard, like the mane of a beast, shiny and shiny, and the secret guard said: "This is the rope twisted into the fur of the strange beast that His Highness personally went to the Great Wilderness and captured in the Great Wilderness Black Water, once ignited, the wind cannot be extinguished, the water cannot be extinguished, and the burning time is extremely long." ”

The rope is fed into the pipe, which is stiff and easy to transport, and will go all the way from the pipe all the way into the powder magazine.

Thousands of precautions and caution, Tang Xiaocheng regarded it as an indestructible arsenal in the sky and on the ground, and today, Yan Sui was sent to the most terrifying fire by a rope.

What is ignited, how much more than an arsenal?

Lin Qing couldn't help but sigh as he watched that little spark slowly enter the pipe.

Yan Sui's calculations and aspirations are really unimaginable.

He was able to plan for a gunpowder magazine of the Tang family a few years ago, raising people underground early, slowly digging tunnels for thousands of days and nights, sometimes only digging a few inches a day, he could bring back a pangolin from distant Pugan for the last three zhang; can also go to the wilderness in person for the most critical wick.

Such a character...... Everything Yan Shixing did in Jingren Palace that day would be the decision he regretted the most in his life.

The sparks slowly moved forward in the dark pipes, in the established direction, and finally burst into a brilliant spark in the pitch-black gunpowder and fierce fire oil depot.

Set the nearest powder bomb on fire.

There was a bang.

The soldiers who were hurrying to carry them in the gunpowder magazine were lifted into the air, and before they could react, a series of explosions rang out.

The Tang family's gunpowder bullets have been improved and are extremely powerful, and in order to avoid collisions, they are all stored in a single fixed place. At this moment, one explosion is a hundred, and almost at the moment when the explosion sounded, the entire gunpowder magazine was blown up.

The bow and arrow knife and gun magazine next to it were blown up, a large hole was sunk in the ground, the walls collapsed, the roof collapsed, the knives and guns were smashed, and the wooden bow and arrow were ignited by the star-burst flames, and the soaring flames burst up on the ridge of the roof.

The sound of hooves sounded sharply, and several horsemen rushed in like a broken wind, and it was Tang Xianzhi at the beginning, and when he saw the arsenal in the black smoke and flames, his eyes shrank.

Yan Sui really moved the arsenal!

How did he do it!

Why didn't my father listen to him and stay here!

"Water Dragon! Break off Mars in the northwest first, and there will be no more! ”

The warehouse door was opened, and the water dragon directly connected to the water source rushed down from the ramp, the speed was extremely fast, which was also the improvement after Tang Xianzhi took over the Tang family, and all the ladders were changed to ramps.

Another water dragon lunged at the gunpowder magazine.

A general shouted, and his voice was crying: "Childe, the damage to the Nanku ordnance is even more serious, and the wall is about to collapse-"

"To the northwest is the fierce fire oil depot!" Tang Xianzhili ignored him, and said coldly, "Prepare sand!" I won't hold you accountable for any losses tonight, but if the fire depot ignites a spark and the powder magazine explodes again, you all will come to see you! ”

The generals were silent and rushed away.

Tang Xianzhi quickly ordered: "Send troops!" Within three miles of the surrounding area, give me an inch of search, focusing on the sparsely populated low mountains and rivers! There must be a tunnel nearby, take our mastiff and smell it inch by inch! ”

"Yes!"

"The whole city is under martial law, and the nine gates are closed. Only Jing'anmen Gate is left to enter and exit for one hour a day. Blockade Zhongjiang, from now on, all ships in Zhongjiang will be suspended! ”

"Yes!"

"Check all the restaurants, inns and shops within three miles around Tang City, especially the buildings that can observe the movement of Tang City!"

"Yes!"

……
