Chapter 108: Smoke Ball Defeats the Enemy
A loud explosion rang out, deafening, scattering debris among the black-robed men, some sharp shards sinking into their skin, blood streaming down their faces.
"This ...... This is ......" Zhong Limo showed a look of disbelief, while Situ Xi slapped him on the head and pulled him back sharply.
Before he was done, Situ Xi continued to take out a few identical black balls from the package, and then lit them one after another and threw them at the enemies.
"Cover your mouth and nose!"
The sudden explosion made everyone present lose their minds, and all the enemies stopped, and although the debris that was scattered with the explosion did not cause fatal damage to them, it kept their minds in a daze.
Thick smoke rose and spread around this group of black-robed people, because Situ Xi had greeted him in advance, Chen Zhishu and the others covered their faces with clothes and quickly evacuated.
Although the black-robed people also covered their faces with face towels, the poison smoke ball exploded in the center of them, and they inevitably inhaled a large amount of gas, and by the time these people reacted and tried to escape, they already felt that they were not breathing.
"Ahem!" A violent dry cough sounded, and the leader of the black-robed man who hit the head tightly choked his throat with both hands, trembling all over, his eyes widened, and in less than a moment, red blood soaked his black scarf, and he fell to his knees with his forehead on the ground.
The people around him also fell to their knees, and some of them were not immediately fainted, but they were soon unable to move.
Seeing the tragic situation, the people on Situ Xi's side covered their mouths and noses tighter, and retreated some distance, Situ Xi looked back to see if Zhong Limo and they were injured or had something unusual, but when he looked at everyone, he found that everyone, including Qixian and Chen Zhishu, looked at him with frightened eyes.
"Let's go first."
Before he had time to explain to them, he took Zhong Limo's hand and took the lead towards the few BMWs that had just run away because they were frightened.
It is necessary to go down the mountain as soon as possible and report the matter to Zhong Liwu and Emperor Chu.
Seeing Situ Xi leave first, Qixian looked at the black-robed assassins lying on the ground again, and then he immediately moved his steps to follow.
Gradually coming back to their senses, Chen Zhishu and Chen Pu glanced at each other, and they both went to find their horses.
"Uncle Mu, aren't you leaving?" After leading the horse, Zhong Limo observed that Mu Juzheng didn't seem to be ready to leave, and he asked with some confusion.
"Master Mo, you and His Highness go first, deal with something, and then arrive." Mu Juzheng smiled back and tightened the rope dart wrapped around his arm.
This is to wait for the poisonous smoke to dissipate and then make up for the knife.
"Brother Mo, don't ask, go down the mountain first."
"Miss Chen, those three of your guards should still have a breath, and bring them with you."
Together, they carried the three wounded guards on their horses.
After everyone got on their horses, Zhong Limo asked Situ Xi about the smoke ball with some hesitation.
"Brother-in-law, just ...... Just that is? ”
"That one just now is called a poison smoke ball, so let's take it as a hidden weapon for the time being." Situ Xi didn't intend to hide it from them, since this thing had just been used on such an occasion, it couldn't be hidden anymore, at most it was a little disguised in its origin.
This poison smoke ball is a modified version by him, the original poison smoke ball recorded in the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" is prepared for the defense of the city, its size is larger, and it should be released with a cannon when it is used, which is extremely inconvenient, although the smoke ball he made is less powerful, but it is easy to carry, and a large amount of use can also have a good effect.
"Brother Situ, where did you get that secret weapon? But there's anything left? Chen Pu also came over at this time, and several people around him turned their eyes, and it seemed that Zhong Limo was not the only one who was interested in this smoke ball.
"Yes, there are a few left, if Brother Chen wants to, I will come to the house to pick them up later, this matter should not be publicized......" Situ Xi first pondered for a moment, and after some thought, he decided to give Chen Pu a few.
"Really?! I understand, Brother Situ rest assured. Chen Pu was overjoyed, he didn't expect Situ Xi to be so generous.
And Chen Zhishu was thoughtful on the side.
With a pat on the horse's belly, Situ Xi led everyone out of here.
……
Wenshan Mountain, under the ancient trees.
Emperor Chu sat on a wooden stake, and in front of him was a black bear that had fallen to the ground, and the black bear had been hit by several arrows, and it was already out of breath at this time.
A group of military generals stood on both sides of the Chu Emperor, and there were several boulders on the road in front of them that had stopped after hitting the mountain wall.
"Fortunately, only some of the soldiers were slightly injured......"
"Your Majesty, this matter is also the fault of the minister!" Lu Guocheng knelt down in front of Emperor Chu, his long hair scattered to the ground.
"Fang Aiqing, get up, you can't blame you for this matter, the inspection of Wenshan is all in charge of the two generals Yu and Du, and it has nothing to do with you." Zuo Duyuan waved his hand, he didn't have the heart to get up and help Lu Guogong up in person at the moment, this rolling stone seems to be man-made, who is this person, and what is the purpose?
"But after all, this black bear was prepared by the minister, and it has added a lot of chaos to Your Majesty......"
"Get up, what kind of mess can a mere beast make, don't be entangled, just now you have merit in protecting it, and the merit is worth it, is it feasible?"
"This ...... Thank you for your kindness! Only then did Lu Guogong get up.
"Where are the two generals, Yu and Du?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the two generals should have led the troops to patrol the vicinity before, and the ministers have sent someone to inform them as soon as possible, and they should be able to lead their troops to arrive soon." A military general knelt on one knee and answered Emperor Chu's question.
"Your Majesty, this matter is strange, this mountain rock does not look like a natural landslide, and the minister has sent someone to investigate on the mountain...... Your Majesty, can this spring hunt continue? If there is anyone who is in trouble...... The Queen Mother, the three princes, and the envoys of the Li State are still on the mountain. ”
Another minister beside him spoke out about his worries, and after listening, Emperor Chu also pondered for a moment, and then stood up from the stake.
"Go, let the queen mother and the juniors be informed, let them quickly meet at the bottom of the mountain, and suspend the spring hunt today, and then decide whether to continue after the investigation of this matter is completed."
