Chapter 192: Ransacked
Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan's main purpose this time was not to sell medicine, but they didn't care much about the price. But the gesture of handmaking by Shopkeeper Yi is very much in line with the hearts of the two.
Jiang Tangtang asked the shopkeeper Yi about sulfur and saltpeter on the grounds that his relatives were sick.
Of course, in order to prevent gunpowder from being made in the future, some people have worked out a recipe for gunpowder based on today's events. In addition to inquiring about sulfur and saltpeter, Jiang Tangtang also added a few other medicines.
Shopkeeper Yi wants to sell two people a good, plus the several medicines asked by Jiang Tangtang are not very medicated, and some of them can't be used twice a year. They want to buy it, and there is no reason to refuse.
After coming out of the Materia Medica, Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan went to Ruyi Hall again.
Although I bought a lot of sulfur and saltpeter in the herb hall just now, the more these two things are better.
When Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan were buying medicine everywhere in Baiyue, Xirong and Duanwang's men and horses were in full swing.
After Helian Heng learned that it was King Duan's trickster who stole Xirong's military rations, he was ruthless in his heart and was about to take Minhe down.
In addition to venting the hatred in his heart, Helian Heng also felt that this was the only way out for Xirong now. Only by snatching Minhe and occupying Duanwang's granary can they have a chance to take Da Zhou.
If he can't win the Great Zhou, he will return here and wait until he returns to Xirong, can he still have a place?
After Helian Heng led his troops to fight for a day and a night, he finally occupied Minhe.
And the loss of Minhe made King Duan fall into a rage.
That night, he vented all the anger in his heart on the group of prostitutes raised in the house.
The screams rang out for most of the night, and the subordinates in the house all had white faces, and they didn't dare to make a sound. I am afraid that King Duan's anger will be vented on them.
When King Duan vented his anger through the prostitute in the house, Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan took advantage of the darkness to come to King Duan's secret warehouse where he hid grain.
It's not too true to say that the vault is actually not too true.
Because King Duan put the grain directly in the barracks, guarded by his private soldiers.
Even though many people were transferred to Minhe to fight the enemy, the army was still heavily guarded.
The two hid in the shadows, watching the soldiers in a row constantly walking back and forth in front, Jiang Tangtang clinged to Shi Yan and whispered: "Husband, can we still pass?" ”
Lu Shiyan was originally staring intently ahead, looking for a suitable opportunity to rush into the secret vault. But Jiang Tangtang's whispering made his mind instantly go to a place where he shouldn't be.
He tilted his head slightly and looked at Jiang Tangtang.
Jiang Tangtang glanced around his handsome face, and didn't look at him at all. She blinked, pressed her eyes to his face, and whispered, "You said that!" ”
She is not a roundworm in his stomach, and she can understand his eyes wherever she can go back.
Lu Shiyan hugged her hand tightly, as if taking a deep breath, "Quiet." ”
Jiang Tangtang rolled his eyes at him. But in the end, it was the right thing to do, and Jiang Tangtang didn't move anymore.
The two of them kept squatting like this, and it wasn't until midnight that Lu Shiyan found an opportunity to take Jiang Tangtang to avoid the guards and sneak near the warehouse.
This warehouse is not built like a normal warehouse.
Even if you can't find a lock to open the door in a normal warehouse, you can find a way to open it from the roof.
But the warehouse was built by digging a hole in the mountain. Out of the warehouse gate, there is nowhere to enter and exit.
Looking at the all-copper gate and the very complicated lock on it, Jiang Tangtang was worried.
Just looking at the shape of the lock, you know that the structure inside must be very complicated, but I am afraid that it will not be easy to open.
But she finally came here, and she returned in vain, and she was not reconciled.
Judging from the strict guards and the construction of the warehouse, it can be seen that King Duan attaches great importance to this warehouse.
There must be something very important in it.
Such a heavy precaution should not be as simple as food!
Just when Jiang Tangtang was worried about what to do, Lu Shiyan had already reached out and pinched the big lock.
Jiang Tangtang didn't see how hard he worked, she only knew that the big lock that was originally unbreakable in her eyes was opened like that.
Just when she was stunned by the situation in front of her, Lu Shiyan's hand on her waist was slightly forced, and he floated into the warehouse with her.
As another team of guards patrolled to the warehouse door, the warehouse door was closing silently.
Because when Lu Shiyan took Jiang Tangtang in, he restored the door and lock of the warehouse to their original state, and the soldiers on patrol did not find that the lock of the warehouse was opened, and they mixed people in.
Of course, Lu Shiyan's restoration to the original state is only seen from a distance, and there is no clue to be seen. But if you look closer, you can still see it.
But the patrolling soldiers did not expect that someone would quietly touch the secret vault, let alone someone would be able to open the lock of the vault.
Jiang Tangtang only looked at the appearance of the lock and felt that the lock was not simple. In fact, this lock is far more sophisticated than Jiang Tangtang thought.
This lock was made by Duanwang to find a master and spend several years to make it. The material of this lock is very hard. You can't split it with an axe.
To open the lock, you need five keys to open it at the same time. The five keys were also kept on the bodies of five people.
With such a lock, how could the soldiers have thought that it would be easily opened!
Because no one expected someone to open the lock and sneak in, the soldiers also did their usual thing, patrolling around the warehouse.
And in the warehouse, Jiang Tangtang's heart was so frightened that he almost jumped out.
This warehouse is really perverted. Not only are there layers of guards, but there are also large sturdy bronze doors and locks, and there are even mechanisms inside. It also has to be thanks to Lu Shiyan's quick reaction, otherwise they would have been shot into a sieve by now.
Finally dodging the mechanism, the two finally arrived in the warehouse. Lu Shiyan checked it, and after confirming that there was no mechanism, he motioned for Jiang Tangtang to do it.
The warehouse was pitch black, and it was impossible to see what was what. At this time, Jiang Tangtang didn't care about what was in the warehouse. She swept the space indiscriminately.
It's also thanks to her that she expanded the space a little last night, otherwise with the area of her space, she might not be able to fit so many things in the warehouse!
The warehouse was so big that it took Jiang Tangtang a quarter of an hour to move everything in the warehouse into the space.
After the entire warehouse became empty, Jiang Tangtang showed a satisfied smile. She could imagine how exposed King Duan was when he saw the warehouse.
Lu Shiyan looked at the evil smile, and lowered his voice a little helplessly: "Let's go!" ”
Lu Shiyan walked to the door of the warehouse with Jiang Tangtang in his arms, but he did not rush to open the door and go out, but kept waiting there for the right opportunity.
The two waited for another quarter of an hour before Lu Shiyan found an opportunity and took Jiang Tangtang out of the warehouse.
After leaving the warehouse, he deliberately restored the lock to its original state before leaving with Jiang Tangtang.
The two didn't know that not long after they left, Lu Jinmo led a team of people to the outside of the warehouse.
