"Boom la la ......"

Haining Palace was surrounded by flowers and trees, and Qi Hong and Yang Heng poured fire oil on the trees along the palace wall.

After pouring all the oil, the two of them set the trees on fire, and with the help of the oil, the fire spread instantly.

"Withdraw!"

Qi Hong immediately slipped away.

After the fire was ignited, it was out of control.

By the time Hai Ninghou noticed it, the fire was completely out of control, and even if he tried his best to put it out, he still couldn't stop the spread of the fire.

The next morning, the fire was completely extinguished.

The huge Jingshan was burned down more than half, and the Haining Palace was destroyed in the fire.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

At the foot of Jingshan, the gray-faced Qi Chengfei was angry at his own soldiers, slapping them on the head and covering his face.

"You can all catch fire on shifts, a bunch of rice buckets! What does this king want you to do? Why don't you burn you to death! Qi Chengfei roared angrily.

Seeing that he was furious, a group of subordinates were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.

"Lord Wang, please calm your anger."

The commander of the pro-soldiers trembled and said: "The last general went to the back mountain to investigate, and found that this fire was not an accident, but someone deliberately set it on fire!" ”

Qi Chengfei kicked him, "Since you know that someone deliberately set fire, why don't you hurry up and investigate!" Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find out the murderer, no matter who he is, this king will definitely break him into pieces! ”

Return to the customs, the military government.

After Qi Hong went to inspect the gunpowder workshop, he has been waiting for news.

Haining Palace was destroyed by fire, and where Qi Chengfei went was the question he was most concerned about.

"Ding! The host hit Haininghou hard, obtained 10,000 taels of silver, and a light mining machine design drawing! ”

The system's prompt beep suddenly sounded.

"The system actually gave me targeted rewards, which is so intimate, and I can save a lot of manpower." Qi Hong thought happily.

The so-called light mining machine requires manpower to control and can move thousands of pounds in four or two.

Compared to manual mining, it is like a divine help.

……

Not long after, Yang Heng, who had gone to investigate, returned.

"Your Highness, the Marquis of Haining has returned to his hometown in Shangyang, he only took away some valuable items, and all other things have been burned to the ground, it seems that he has given up Jingshan." Yang Heng said with a colorful voice.

"Hmph, it's exactly what the king wants!" Qi Hong smiled indifferently and ordered: "Yang Yue, you take a hundred men and horses to guard Jingshan, and don't let anyone approach." ”

"Yes!"

Yang Yue immediately complied.

At this time, Li Huijun came over and said worriedly: "Your Highness, if you send someone to guard Jingshan, isn't it tantamount to admitting that you set fire to the mountain, if the Marquis of Haining is investigated, he has the support of the prince, and you may not be able to get benefits." ”

Qi Hong was very calm, "My purpose is to force Qi Chengfei away and monopolize Jingshan, I didn't think about getting rid of suspicion, as for how he retaliates against me, it doesn't matter anymore." ”

"It doesn't matter?" Li Huijun was stunned.

suddenly found that Qi Hong's heart was not ordinary.

At the same time, Qi Hong was paying close attention to the progress of gunpowder preparation all the time.

According to the plan he formulated, the research and development of gunpowder, the creation of fire-breaking guns, and the mining of iron ore will be carried out simultaneously.

The next step is to hire craftsmen and start developing the firebolt!

Noon.

"His Royal Highness the Eternal King! His Royal Highness the Eternal King! Reinforcements are coming! ”

A pro-soldier rushed into the inner courtyard in a hurry.

In the side hall, Qi Hong sent down the dishes and chopsticks and greeted him, "The big war is coming, reinforcements will come sooner or later, you don't need to panic about this." ”

The soldier hurriedly said, "But Your Highness, are the generals of the reinforcements ...... It's the Prince! ”

Qi Hong was taken aback: "Prince! ”
