Under the octagonal pavilion, Mu Jinghong, Ling Jiantong and Ye Zhengbai sat around the stone table, with a sad face.

After being silent for a long time, he suddenly stood up in amazement, and said simply: "Forget it, instead of thinking of a good way to get the best of both worlds here, I might as well go to the Zhenguo Mansion to persuade the second brother, perhaps, maybe he can change his mind." ”

Ye Zhengbai grabbed Mu Jinghong's arm, and said in a deep voice: "Second brother's temperament, we don't know, once he makes a decision, the sky will fall apart, and he won't change the slightest, but this time he actually took the entire Situ family as a bet, I am also very surprised, he is obviously not such a person, is it really angry and angry?" ”

Ling Jiantong lowered his eyes, and his eyes dimmed.

If a man is really willing to gamble on everything he holds most precious for a woman, it means that they are true love.

If this is the case, if she Ling Jiantong continues to covet Situ Qianchen, wouldn't she become a scolding junior?

"Big brother, Miss Snow Kite is already the fourth princess, how can the fourth brother be willing to give her to the second brother again, there must be something strange in this." Mu Jinghong sat back on the stone bench with a look of indignation.

"Let's put aside the feelings between the second brother and the snow kite girl, the most important thing now is to prevent the prince's disaster relief food delivery team from passing through the Situ family's military camp, only in this way, the second brother wants to do it, and there is nothing he can do."

Why didn't Mu Jinghong understand this truth, there was such an official road from the capital to the heavenly city, and he could stop it? How to stop it?

Ling Jiantong held his cheek with one hand, quietly looking at the simple map on the stone table, before going to the Situ military camp, it seemed that he had to pass through a valley, that ...... Why don't you make a fuss about the valley?

Ling Jiantong's eyes flickered, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, she suddenly raised her head, blinked her bright eyes and said, "I have a way, I can not only stop General Situ from making a move, but also make the disaster relief grain transportation team safe and sound." ”

"What's the solution?"

Ling Jiantong smiled mysteriously, and she ordered Mu Jinghong: "You have to help me find something first, and then I can tell you." ”

"What's that?" Mu Jinghong was a little confused.

"Brimstone."

Mu Jinghong and Ye Zhengbai glanced at each other, and they didn't know what medicine was sold in Ling Jiantong's gourd, but she said that there was a way, and it could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

After a while, the next person sent a basket of sulfur to the octagonal pavilion, and during this period Ling Jiantong was not idle, she found bamboo tubes from the back kitchen, and put them on the table, seeing that the sulfur came, she twisted the sulfur into fine powder with stones and poured it into the bamboo tube, and finally she used flammable fine hemp rope to make a fuse and put it into the bamboo tube, which seemed to be a bit of earth explosives, she put the finished product in front of the two of them, and said proudly: "Oh, this is the way." ”

Mu Jinghong raised his eyebrows, reached out and pinched the small bamboo tube in his palm, and said in disbelief: "This is the way?" How does this look a bit like fireworks during the New Year's holidays? ”

"Yes, it's a simplified version of fireworks, it's explosives."

"Dynamite?"

This is a new word to the ancients.

Ling Jiantong took the explosives back, cleared his throat and started the class: "Don't look at its small size, but the power is very great, after lighting this twist with fire, it will expand sharply and explode, the day after tomorrow, we will use this to bury it on both sides of the road they are going to pass, and when the time comes, scare them, make them think that there are robbers in the valley, and the soldiers who transport the relief food will not dare to bear the responsibility of losing the relief food, so they will definitely obediently return to the capital and report to the prince before making plans." ”

Through Ling Jiantong's explanation, Mu Jinghong and Ye Zhengbai both felt that this method worked, and there was no better alternative now, so they could only give it a try.

"Miss Ling, are you sure that this explosive really can't hurt anyone?" Ye Zhengbai was a little worried, and couldn't help but ask again.

Ling Jiantong patted his chest confidently: "Ye Daxia, don't worry, I have never missed before." ”

"Oh, Miss Ling has done this before?" Ye Zhengbai frowned slightly, a little suspicious.

Ling Jiantong realized that he had leaked his mouth, and immediately laughed and covered up: "That...... I used to be very fond of fireworks in Lingfu, so I went out to consult the master who made fireworks, and he taught me. ”

Ye Zhengbai nodded, and finally did not pursue it.

Ling Jiantong took a breath, she was really almost exposed.

In the Situ family's military camp, Black Eagle hurriedly entered the big tent and stood in front of Situ Qianchen with his hands: "Second master, the people of the fourth prince have arrived." ”

Situ Qianchen stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the armor hanging in front of him, this armor was the robe worn by his father Situ Heng when he marched and fought before, although Situ Heng never came back from home, but Situ Qianchen kept putting his father's armor in the big tent as a warning.

"Black Eagle, did you say that I promised the Fourth Lord this time that I did it wrong?"

Black Eagle was stunned for a moment, Situ Qianchen never regretted the decision he made on weekdays, but how could he ...... today?

"Second master, what you did was right."

Situ Qianchen took his eyes off the battle armor, slowly turned around, and looked at the black eagle darkly: "You let them in." ”

Black Eagle replied with his head bowed, and was about to leave the big tent, but Situ Qianchen's stopping voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Forget it, they are all dead soldiers of the four princes, it is useless to see them or not, you let them change into the prepared clothes, and don't show their feet among the soldiers." ”

"Second master, don't worry."

In response, the black eagle walked out of the big tent quickly, leaving only Situ Qianchen alone in the empty big tent, he stood there, closed his eyes slightly, and suddenly there was the scene of the night in the hunting ground.

Meng Xueyuan took Situ Qianchen's hand, although it was a light touch, but the tenderness and past contained in it swept in only that moment.

Her eyes were clear, like a clear spring staring at the bottom of Situ Qianchen's heart.

"Qianchen, will you take me away? I don't want to be the fourth princess, I just want to be your wife. ”

"Qianchen, have you really forgotten the promise we made between us?"

"Qianchen, I miss you, since I left you, I have spent every moment in regret, Mu Zhen treats me badly, I really don't want to live like that again."

"Chichen"

"Qianchen ......"

Situ Qianchen slowly opened his eyes, and the gentle words that echoed in his ears just now all disappeared at this moment.

He can't forget, that year he went to Mengfu with a dowry, but only got the news that she had promised to Mu Zhen, at that time he was extremely angry, he wanted to destroy the world, he hated her, did not abide by the agreement, did not wait for him, hated her for becoming inflammatory, and even left him at the most difficult time in Zhenguo Mansion, and turned to Mu Zhen's arms.

But later, he inadvertently learned that the reason why Meng Xueyuan married Mu Zhen was because Mu Zhen promised that as long as she married her, she could help Zhenguo Mansion regain the emperor's trust, Meng Xueyuan agreed, and for the sake of Situ Qianchen, she was forced to agree.

Therefore, now everything in the Zhenguo Mansion is Meng Xueyuan in exchange for her happiness, and he owes her, and now he is desperate to use the entire Situ family to exchange for Meng Xueyuan's freedom, which is worth it.

The day after tomorrow, Mu Jinghong and Ye Zhengbai went out to the valley, and Ling Jiantong stood in front of them in every possible way, stretching out his hand to stop him but not letting them go.

"Eyes, don't make trouble, this is not a trivial matter, we really can't risk you."

Ling Jiantong's mouth pursed, and he sneered: "You brothers are really a character, they all like to cross the river and tear down the bridge, don't you forget, who came up with the idea of using explosives to stop the transport team?" It's me, it's me, it's me, you don't take me, then I ask you, do you know how to plant explosives? Do you know how to pull the strings after the explosives are planted, even if they are far away on the hillside? Did you know? ”

Ling Jiantong's inquiry was like a machine gun, but they were stumped and kept silent for a while.

Ling Jiantong smiled happily: "Look, if you don't take me, it's useless to go, how about it?" Let's discuss it, should you give up this plan? Or do you want to take me, a clever military advisor, with you? ”

Ye Zhengbai glanced at Mu Jinghong helplessly, and finally gave up: "Okay, sister, just promise you to go with us, but you must pay attention to safety, and you can't run around indiscriminately for others to find out." ”

As soon as Ling Jiantong heard that they were relieved, he immediately stood up and saluted them, "Promise to complete the task!" ”

The valley is not far from the capital, they arrived in half an hour, the sun has just risen in the morning, there is not a single figure on the official road, Ling Jiantong just buried the explosives on both sides of the road, and then stretched the lead, they kept retreating, retreated to the top of the valley, and found a hidden grass to hide.

"Eyes, once the explosives here go out, can you hear the sound from the Situ barracks?"

Ling Jiantong looked sideways in the direction of the barracks, she remembered the distance marked on the map, and muttered for a moment before saying, "I should be able to hear a little movement, but if the sergeants are practicing, maybe this sound will be drowned out." ”

Mu Jinghong's face was a little gloomy, Ye Zhengbai knew what he was worried about, reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, third brother, even if the second brother knows in the future, he won't blame us, after all, we are for his good and don't want him to be in danger." ”

Mu Jinghong sighed lightly: "Big brother, in fact, what I'm most worried about is not this, I'm afraid that the second brother won't wait for the transport team to enter the scope of the Situ military camp, so he will start in advance, so won't we be busy in vain." ”

Ling Jiantong smiled indifferently: "I said, Mu Jinghong, can you not always worry about this and that, like a girl, we can do our things now, and leave the rest to God, you can rest assured, I have already burned three incense sticks when I went out, and Zhun Bao is done this time." ”
