At the lighthouse, the living dead Qin Yueming is standing on the third floor, looking at the looming Kyoto, after tonight, he is going to leave Kyoto for Shudi, and he is infinitely emotional, as the bloodline of Daqin, in the past hundred years, he has experienced several assassinations, destruction, and even uprisings, although he does not want to admit it in his heart, but looking at Kyoto, which is more prosperous than Daqin, he can't help but feel a little sad in his heart, this may be the best opportunity.

"Lord Qin, Lord Qin, it's not good, they escaped!" The middle-aged man in black who jumped into Weishui and took the opportunity to flee ran to the first floor of the lighthouse wet and shouted loudly.

Because the lighthouse is in the middle of the isolated island, it happens to be on the back side of the ship, and the battle to seize the ship was quickly won under the sneak attack of Xu Jianping and the others, because Qin Yueming did not find out about the previous fight, and at this moment, when the news came, he hurriedly jumped down from the top of the tower.

In the distance, after Xu Jianping and the others seized the boat, they searched it, after all, the two of them at this moment had not eaten for a day, although it was normal for a warrior to be hungry for three or five days, but Xu Jianping's rumbling belly still urged him to fill his stomach first before doing other things.

On the boat, Xu Jianping opened the wooden box carried by the man in black, and a choking nose broke out of the box, Xu Jianping hurriedly raised his sleeves, covered his mouth and nose, and fixed his eyes to see that the flowers inside were green, and all kinds of fireworks turned out to be all kinds of fireworks, fireworks on Huahuo Street? Xu Jianping instantly understood what this thing was and where it came from, but what did they want so many fireworks for, could it be to celebrate?

Xu Jianping picked up a handful from the inside, walked in his hand, looked carefully, and suddenly found that the pipe of the fireworks was empty, Xu Jianping was taken aback, and hurriedly opened the other wooden boxes, grabbed a handful from the inside, and checked again, it was still empty, the sulfur, saltpeter, sawdust and other things inside had been taken away, looking at the wooden boxes all over the ground, looking at the building ship, several wooden boxes that had not yet been moved, Xu Jianping instantly understood something.

Thirteen family annihilation tragedy, what they want is not cannibalism, but fireworks in the shop, more accurate is that they want sulfur saltpeter and other things in the fireworks, gunpowder, fireworks are not equal to gunpowder, but the two need the same raw materials, and all the sulfur saltpeter are strictly controlled by the government, so they will focus on the thirteen fireworks shops on Huahuo Street.

Gunpowder, so many raw materials, as long as they are refined, so many fireworks can be completely transformed into gunpowder, what do they want gunpowder to do? The Queen Mother's Birthday Banquet! The more Xu Jianping thought about it, the more surprised he became, did they want to use the gunpowder explosion to destroy the Queen Mother's birthday banquet? No, the spies who have been planning for so long and have been lurking for a hundred years will never be sacrificed so easily, their motive is to restore the country, and what is the best way to restore the country?

"Oh no, their goal is the Holy One." Xu Jianping shouted, "No, it should be said that their target should also be added to the Manchu civil and military who attended the birthday banquet tonight." ”

Red Sleeves Ruthless was originally inspecting the ship, so that he would leave the isolated island and go to Kyoto later, but when he heard Xu Jianping's words, he also reacted, "What do you mean, they will enter the palace tonight to assassinate the Holy Lord and all the adults?" ”

Xu Jianping nodded, and shook his head again, "Yes and no, maybe they are already in the palace at this moment." ”

Red Sleeves shook his head ruthlessly, and said, "If their goal is the current saint, then they will definitely fail, you must know that today's birthday banquet, General Huo and Lord Wei will be present, I believe that today, no one can assassinate the saint in front of General Huo." ”

Xu Jianping reached out and grabbed a handful of fireworks and said, "What if they didn't use force? ”

Red Sleeves looked puzzled ruthlessly, "Then what kind of assassination method?" ”

Xu Jianping explained, "As far as you say, no one in the world can assassinate the saint in front of General Huo, but what if it is with gunpowder? Thou knowest it. ”

"Well, I know, the favorite thing of the women on Zhangtai Street." Ruthless said with a disdainful face.

"You can know that the power of the explosion of this thing is that I am afraid that the entire Weiyang Palace can destroy it," Xu Jianping pointed to the wooden boxes everywhere.

Seeing that he was puzzled, Xu Jianping continued to explain, "The raw material of this thing is sulfur saltpeter, in the case of a small number, its power is not obvious, but it is refined, and it is deployed, and the amount is sufficient, it is a powerful gunpowder, you think about it carefully, now that the Han regime is stable, it is not easy for the former Qin remnants to restore the country, and the quickest way is not to assassinate the current saints, as well as the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, as long as there is chaos in the court, its lurking forces in various places can take advantage of the situation, And if you want to assassinate Your Majesty today, then tonight is his best chance, no, I don't have time to explain to you, we have to hurry back to Kyoto City, and it will change later. After speaking, he directly waved his long knife, cut the rope of the ship, and prepared to take a boat to Kyoto.

Although the red sleeves were ruthless, they obviously knew that the internal situation was urgent, and they didn't care about asking questions, so they struck the river bank with their hands with their hands, and used the power of the shock to quickly sail the boat away from the riverbank.

"If you want to go, it's not that easy!"

In mid-air, a figure rushed from far and near, and in just a moment, one of them jumped onto the ship, and it was the rain-covered sword Qin Yueming.

Xu Jianping frowned slightly, stood with his hands in his hands, and said coldly, "Hmph, Qin Yueming, with you alone, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep me." It's only been one night, and I've forgotten about last night's battle. "Yesterday, when the white-bearded old man didn't make a move, Xu Jianping's soul power combined with the red sleeves ruthlessly once pressed and beat the seventh-rank martial artist Qin Yueming, Xu Jianping saw that he was alone, so he couldn't help but remind intentionally.

Qin Yueming looked at the two people opposite, shook his head, and said, "Qin didn't say that there was only one person. ”

As he was talking, the hull of the ship suddenly shook, and the ship, which had just left the isolated island less than a few dozen meters away, was unwinded and sailed towards the isolated island again, "Bang! "A bang.

The boat slammed into the riverbank.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa......"

There was a sound of splashing, several figures broke out of the water, jumped to the building boat, and looked at it, it was dozens of white-haired humanoid monsters "Drought Fish", the leader, it was the cannibal "Drought Fish" that was nailed to the wall by Xu Jianping with a sword at the east gate of the city that day.

Xu Jianping reacted at this time, why did the Criminal Investigation Division, Dali Temple, and the Imperial History Mansion gather the power of the three divisions, and they couldn't find any trace of them in Kyoto, it turned out that they lived in the water.

"Frame, Frame, Frame......"

A group of "drought" apparently hadn't eaten for a few days, and a few of them jumped off the bow of the boat, ran to the island, and gnawed on the corpses of the men in black who had been killed by Xu Jianping and the others.

There was a "click, click" sound.

In less than two minutes, an intact corpse was shattered in an instant, and a "drought fish" turned around, gnawing on a human hand in its mouth, looking at the two people on the boat, and stretched out its bloodstained tongue unsatisfied......
