Chapter 483: The Big Bang at the Wu Factory (End)
"It's also ironic to say, it's always the aristocracy that coaxes us. Today, we want to lie to them in turn......"
Behind the half-collapsed wall, a middle-aged man muttered.
"They are all descendants of Adam and Eve, who is more noble than the other." Another young man lay on his stomach behind a blackened pile of wood and set up his musket.
"Oh, yes. Thou art literate, sayest, 'Did the scriptures say?' The middle-aged man asked.
"I don't know, I don't know much, I don't seem to have any." Said the young man.
"Did the priests say that?"
"When the bishop traveled on a sermon, he said that the nobles and commoners were appointed by God. Brother Danzerik said that there was no such thing in the scriptures, and that he was talking nonsense. β
"Really?" The middle-aged man was surprised and said, "You bohemians are exaggerated enough, you can say this casually." β
"It's his. I didn't believe it at first......" The young man lowered his voice: "We feel that although the bishop is greedy, at least he is the most authoritative clergy here, and he can't just suspect people." After all, Brother Zerik is young, and his speech is not necessarily reliable. β
"So, while escorting the caravan, I went to the University of Prague and asked the learned people there. Father Huss was the headmaster there, and I thought he should be the most learned man, so I ran to ask while he was out. He also told me that there was no such thing in either the scriptures or the formal church traditions. He also lamented that the bishops had become like tax collectors, and they were all open to doctrine, as long as they had money. That's when I started following them. β
However, this questioning sentence was indeed made by a priest. I heard them say that it was when there was a priest named John Paul who was preaching to the faithful during the rebellion in England. β
"I haven't heard of this man." The middle-aged man admitted.
"I hadn't heard of it before, and then the priests complained that if we continued to loot like this, we would have to rebel like their leader, Watt Taylor. That's when I found out about this man. The young man replied.
"And what did they achieve?" The middle-aged man asked.
"Nope. The aristocratic lord said that he wanted to negotiate with everyone, and Watt Taylor went stupidly. As a result, when he arrived at the place, they stabbed him to death, and there was no leader, and everyone else broke up. The young man said.
"Oh my God. I thought that the aristocratic lord just liked to cheat money and owe wages. The middle-aged man said in surprise: "If you don't say it, I'm afraid I'll have to be fooled in the future." But they're not afraid that this will go on like this, and no one will believe them, will they? β
"People do this every day, and they don't care at all. If you don't believe them, what can you do? The young man shook his head and said, "Moreover, if we really ask the priests to ask them, they will blame the matter on their subordinates, saying that they are all knights below, or mercenaries recruited temporarily, and that it is none of their business to act unruly and act without permission." There's not much anyone else can do."
"I know that shameless people are easy to get rich, but I never thought that they could be so shameless." The middle-aged man whispered: "This is also bullying you plain people to be honest." If it's in our woodland village, he'd better be careful in the future. As long as there is a gap when we are traveling and hunting, we have to kill him. β
"But you're not bad, boy. If you know how to ask someone from a university, you can really find itβyou are also a learned person. The middle-aged man glanced at him and praised, "If we can run out, I will bring my daughter here to ......."
"Forget it, I can't either. My father wanted me to be apprenticed to a shoemaker, so although I could count and write, I could only read a few trademarks and accounting terms in Latin, and I couldn't read the scriptures at all. The young man complained, "Otherwise, it wouldn't be nonsense, I don't know." β
"Then you are indeed very knowledgeable." The middle-aged man looked out and replied: "With your level of intelligence, as long as you have a teacher and study for a while, it will not be a problem to be able to read the scriptures." β
"No, it's far from it." The young man shook his head: "And it's not just the scriptures. If you only understand the scriptures, you may not be able to understand them. Because in addition to the scriptures, there are also sacred texts and the like, and the Church says that those are also documents of equal sanctity and importance, and that in order to interpret the doctrine, you must also study and understand them. β
"There are so many of these things that church scholars often can only specialize in a part, and when there is a need to debate the Bible, they even have to form a group of theologians, so what can we do as ordinary people."
Therefore, some people feel that the sacred traditions are too mixed and probably not very credible, and should be discarded. In this way, religious education will be much simpler, and everyone will not have to be fooled by some people in the church with ulterior motives. β
"I don't think that's right." The middle-aged man shook his head: "It's like having a disease on your foot, and instead of healing, you cut off your foot." If the sacred biography is too redundant, it should be organized; Everyone can't do it, so they should be educated. Otherwise, wouldn't we wait for many heretics to come in and take advantage of the loopholes? β
"I came before you, and a few months ago I took my wife and daughter to Rome, and after that my daughter went to study in the local order. She told me that the teachings and laws of the Romans were now greatly simplified. β
"What's going on?" The young man asked curiously.
"When this dynasty was founded, the rules were not perfect. Later, they were ready to formally establish a legal code, but by this time, Roman law was already too complicated. The middle-aged man told him: "It is said that although the Roman Empire has declined and its territory has become smaller and smaller, the letter of law has continued unabated." Ordinary people simply did not have the energy to study these laws, so the lawyers hired by the upper echelons could easily deal with them from all sorts of obscure places. Over time, the people are tired of these laws. β
"Therefore, the emperor at that time agreed with the citizens that the death penalty would be imposed for murder, and other crimes that caused various losses would be dealt with according to military law, and the remaining Roman laws would be abolished."
"Is this all right?" The young man was surprised.
"Their dynasty was actually built from scratch, almost a society composed of military camps. Simple and clear military law is the basic order of society, and everyone is under the leadership of the centurion, memorizing and memorizing, and regular spot checks. The middle-aged man told him: "So, their law is very clear, even if the country gets bigger and bigger, and other parts of the law are added, on the whole, it is still much less than before." I think their teachings are the same idea. β
"Then you also said that there will be more and more other parts. Isn't it going to get more and more in the end? The young man asked.
"Then they'll start the next round all over again, build a new dynasty, and clean it up all over again." The middle-aged man pointed to Zhu Wenkui, who was laying out the cellar on the other side: "Our prince, this is how his family rose from the peasants. β
"Hey, that's a great idea." The young man also looked back at Zhu Wenkui and said frankly: "That's it...... Their teachings are so far worse than I know. Brother Zerik was one of the more radical reformers, and he had told me several times before that the Romans were now starting to toss around the doctrine again......"
"But the management of people is really good, and the taxes of people are low." The middle-aged man said.
"Not quite right, right? How do you become rich in the face of confusion in your faith? Some people in my hometown think that people who get rich inexplicably have a little bit of witchcraft. I don't know if they are some mysterious force in the East. The young man muttered quietly.
"You're still young, and you've seen too little, that's just a reason to eat out of the house." The middle-aged man disagreed: "If you want me to say, it is better to care about those than to care about which side of the tax is lowerβI think that if you have low taxes, you can prosper, and you don't have to think about the high-end issues of theology." β
"Why are you staring at taxes?"
"They are also good at education. My daughter now has a place to go to school. β
"Now that you've moved here, don't want to find a way to start a piece of land or do something else to make a living? What can I learn in school? β
"Learn kanji."
"Huh?" The young man was surprised: "A man can go to school as a clergyman in the church, an apprentice to a merchant, or a scribe." What is the use of a woman going to school, can she support herself? Aren't all Chinese characters used by the church and the military? β
"Yes, you can teach." The middle-aged man said, "It's not a problem to feed yourself." β
"Huh? Teach other women? β
"Men and women. In many places here, it took two or three generations to settle down, and the time in the Krai was even shorter. Among these people, there are only a handful of people who can read and write, and they certainly can't compare with places like the capital, maybe not as good as Prague. Therefore, as long as you can read and write, you will not have to worry about finding a job. β
"Can they afford it?"
"I can afford it. After the general environment has stabilized and there is oriental technology, many villages and towns have become a lot richer. When people have a little money, they want to be more motivated, so as long as someone is willing to teach, they are willing to provide food. When she's not in class, she helps her mother make some weaving, and in a year, her income is estimated to be more than my knife-edged blood licking - after all, we can't win every time. β
"Then why don't you learn Greek?"
"There are many Chinese schools, but few Greek schools β the Greeks don't seem to have the tradition of running schools everywhere like they do. And it's a foreign language anyway, so it's better to learn Greek than to learn it. If you really want to learn, you can wait until you learn Chinese. Anyway, my daughter learns these things very quickly. By the way, if you can go out later, I'll take you to meet her......"
"Huh? Okay......"
The topic of the two gradually drifted apart, and they were chatting without saying a word, when they saw Captain Jeska and Zhu Wenkui trotting over.
"Is there any movement on the other side?" Jeska asked bluntly.
"Nope." "I kept watching," said the young man, "and they were walking up and down in the distance, as if there were people arguing, but no one had ever come close. β
"They didn't continue to dig either, and I listened here from time to time, but I didn't see any movement." The middle-aged man patted a wooden basin next to him that was buckled upside down on the ground: "Could it be that it exploded too hard before and scared them?" β
"Maybe there's something really going on behind them." Captain Jeska said: "Under normal circumstances, at this time, we should fill in all the people who can be pulled, and rush down in one go, we can't stop it." But Ivo told me that he looked out of the ruins of the wall while no one was looking, and saw that the southeast side was also burning. β
"Huh?"
"That place is the nest of the Italians, I don't know if they are fighting with someone else, so I didn't continue to provide them with more mercenary support." Jeska analyzed: "They are probably afraid of fraud, and they dare not go directly into it." Because the rest of these people are all from the princess herself, and they are her last hole cards, she will definitely be worried. β
"That's all we have." The young man sighed: "I don't know if I can succeed this time......"
"You are also my father's family background one by one, no different from them." Zhu Wenkui comforted: "We dare to work hard, they don't dare, so we must win." Don't worry. β
"As for now...... I don't know who got into the fight with the Italians. But in any case, it bought us a little more time. He shook his head: "Forget it, no matter who it is, we have to thank them this time." β
"So what do we do now? Still aiming? The young man asked, "I've shouted twice that I'm going to surrender, and I don't think they will be fooled." β
"It's okay, that's to be expected. If they are easily deceived, they will not be normal. Zhu Wenkui told him: "But now, they should already have something to look forward to." This time I'm going to show my head and bring out their leaders. β
"Hey." Captain Jeska sighed: "I always feel that the etiquette on our side has not yet begun, and it does not exist......"
"What does that mean?" The middle-aged man asked suspiciously.
That is, according to the rules of the East, it is better for the son and the mother not to have serious conflicts, or even to attack each other, otherwise, it will be more troublesome than fighting with the father. Even if it's a titular mother or something, it's better not to do that. Captain Jeskar told them, "Of course, I'm not sure what that Princess Jeanne is......"
"Don't tell me anything about the week." Zhu Wenkui interrupted him: "I don't even know what this crazy woman is going to do, how can I return the courtesy......"
"I guess she was trying to hold you hostage. I remember that our earl had done this to his nephew. The young man said, "But I don't know if Rome or the Ming Dynasty can come like this." β
"It's up to this, and it doesn't matter what I want." The middle-aged man disagreed: "That reckless woman in France, she may not be able to think so far." β
"It's hard to say, but they're probably going to cheat too." The young man reminded, "We didn't expect these people to be so cunning before, can we deduce their reactions?" β
"yes, you show your head, and they shoot you first?" The young man asked.
"Then I'll play dead and pour it down." Zhu Wenkui lifted the cloth robe on his chest, revealing an iron plate inside: "I added an extra layer of protective gear, so that I wouldn't show my head and shoot to death." But you don't have to worry about me, after I fall, Captain Jeska will yell and drag me back with a hook. Don't panic then, because the enemy leader will definitely be tempted to check it out. At this time, the gun was aimed at, and the three groups fought together, understand? β
"You can't protect your armor well." The middle-aged man hurriedly reminded: "If you give me A, I will pretend to be you to surrender and negotiate......"
"She knows me, you don't pretend to be." Zhu Wenkui said directly: "Don't worry, I will try my best to prepare." Who wants to die if there is a chance? Isn't it impossible? β
"Where I can protect it, I can rely on the nail pieces I made myself." He knocked on his breastplate: "Where you can't protect it, it depends on the Heavenly Father, the Bodhisattva, and my ancestors." Whoever can keep it anyway, let's protect it. This is the battlefield, how can there be a completely safe thing. β
"You have two guns on your side, and when the first round is fired, the backyard side will blow up the fence and rush out. At this time, fight another round against the enemy who comes to the rescue. Even if the leader is ambushed, there will still be people who are willing to rush up. But the rescuers also ate the guns, and others will subconsciously hesitate, thinking that we still have multiple firepower. He explained, "Don't ask for these things, run with them from behind." β
"I guess that when you hear the explosion and see you fleeing, even those who hesitate will rush in because they are in a hurry. When most of them rushed in, Brother Zelik would detonate the gunpowder on the other side of the wall. He pointed to the other side: "The people in the courtyard have to go to the sky, so remember to run faster." β
"Isn't that monk, too?" The young man hurriedly asked.
"We thought about it, the risk is definitely very high, but there is still a way." Captain Jeska said: "The young master has already installed the ignition machinery, and the powder keg that detonates is just below the door of this cellar, and it can be shot and detonated by pulling the rope, and then exploding with the entire cellar." Therefore, people don't have to be around. Behind the ancestral hall, wasn't it crushed by the enemy? We left a long enough rope to jump out from there, and then detonate it too. Across an earthen wall, maybe it would be better. β
He babbled on a message, the young man was skeptical, and the middle-aged man drew a cross and said, "May the Father bless him." Then, he patted his partner and got ready to go again.
Zhu Wenkui put on his burqa and left with Captain Jeska.
"I said I was fine, and they didn't seem to believe me." Zhu Wenkui whispered: "I don't know if this will affect the morale of the army." β
"Everyone is a veteran, and they know more or less. If you can comfort them and give them an excuse to soothe their spirits, you will be fine. Captain Jaska replied, "You see, I don't want you to go very much, but what can I do?" This is probably war. β
"yes." Zhu Wenkui also shook his head, and remembered something again: "So, Brother Zelik's plan is also to comfort us?" To be honest, it was an ideal plan, and I don't think there was much hope of escaping it. β
"Isn't that the same as you?" Captain Jaska said bluntly: "Let everyone know that there is a slight chance of survival, and a lot of efforts have been made to achieve this, even if the final outcome is actually the same, it is better than directly saying that it is certain to die." Of course, these are for people who are not very strong in their beliefs. If everybody has a very strong faith, it doesn't matter if you don't have to do it. β
"That's right...... Or are you amazing, you know. I've learned. β
"Hey, if I'm really good, how can I fight like this, and let other people trade their lives for opportunities." Captain Jeska underestimated, "Oh, I just found an extra piece of chainmail and tied it to Mr. Boar." If you can't run away when you turn around, tie up the little princess too, and rush wherever you can. Anyway, as long as someone sends the news out, we won't die in vain. β
"Don't worry, no one can run out." Zhu Wenkui could see it instead: "This crazy woman thinks that she can take advantage of the rules, hasn't she thought that others can do it?" If I die, my brothers will surely avenge me. No matter how clean she cleans, they'll find a chance to kill her. β
Captain Jaska nodded, looking relieved.
The two bent down and walked behind the wall, Zhu Wenkui pressed on the protective surface of the helmet and shouted twice, but there was still only a whisper of discussion on the opposite side, and there was no response. He turned around and spread his hands.
"Well, let's take this." Captain Jeska picked up a wooden stick tied with a white cloth and handed it to him: "This thing is used by Italian mercenaries to sign surrender. Many of the people over there should have fought in Italy, so they probably will know. β
"It's such a handy mark......
Zhu Wenkui nodded, took it, shook it out, saw that there was no response on the other side, leaned out half of his body again, and shouted: "I'm Zhu Wenkui, stop fighting, we admit defeat!" β
"You come out and see if it's true!" The other party finally responded this time.
Zhu Wenkui raised his hand, planted the flag on the collapsed ruins, and walked out completely: "Someone of you should recognize me." You don't know each other, but the princess should know too. β
Behind the corner across the street, someone cautiously poked their head out. Obviously, they were also shocked by the fire here, and they didn't even dare to assemble directly in the open space at the gate. After two glances, seeing that he didn't react unusually, the man shrank back again.
Zhu Wenkui pulled down his armor, put another hand behind his back, and gestured to Captain Jeska.
Soon, a group of people appeared at the corner and confronted him. Zhu Wenkui took the initiative to shout this time: "What about your leader? Write me back! β
"We're afraid you're cheating, so we can't let you see the princess." Someone replied.
"Then if any of you can make a decision, it's okay, give me a letter." Zhu Wenkui immediately gave in: "As long as you can talk." β
The men looked at each other and discussed, and some turned around and spoke in French. But soon, they seemed to be at odds. After another moment, someone shouted, "Then come here, come here and talk." β
"I'm not talking to you myself, I'm talking to everyone." Zhu Wenkui insisted: "You must ensure the safety of all of us, and we will negotiate here." Otherwise, it's all death anyway, and we'd rather die in this yard and take a few more with us. You know for yourselves what it was like just now. If you're not afraid of a life for a life, then come here! β
The argument between the other side became more intense. Some people looked angry, but the one who shouted looked a little helpless. Finally, he replied aloud, "Yes, our princess agreed." You come out. β
"At least you have to make sure that, right? Swear ye first to your Heavenly Father. Zhu Wenkui reminded.
"Yes, I promise that in the name of Heavenly Father, we will keep you safe. Now lay down your arms and come out. The man shouted.
"You can't, let the princess come!" Zhu Wenkui said.
The other side argued again. Soon the man replied, "Then you wait a minute, I'll go and ask the princess." β
Zhu Wenkui answered, and after the person turned his head and retreated into the alley, the person next to him immediately retreated to the other side. Behind them, two archers with crossbows were revealed. Whoosh twice, Zhu Wenkui fell in response.
Beside him, Captain Jeska immediately shouted. A few people next to him also shouted loudly, and some people took short bows to beat rabbits and shot several arrows at the opposite side. Seeing someone fighting back, those people were slightly surprised, and a few people who were about to rush over also subconsciously tried to dodge. But the bow and arrow were very weak, and there was no damage to the armor. After reacting, the enemy laughed instead.
However, taking advantage of this, several other people have already dragged Zhu Wenkui back. On the other side, there are also people who stop them. Someone else brought Princess Jeanne and pointed it out to her.
It seemed that they felt that there was no heavy firepower in the palace, and their actions were much bolder. Zhu Wenkui was dragged behind the wall, only his legs were exposed, and he couldn't see clearly for a while. Princess Jeanne and the people next to her, hesitated for a moment, then spoke fiercely, and stopped around the corner.
Captain Jeska immediately waved his hand, and a moment later, two muskets rang out, and Princess Jeanna froze. And the third musketeer, thinking that the angle was not good, simply did not listen to the order, ran to the wall, and shot her again. Princess Jeanne fell backwards and fell to the ground. The people around him also immediately blew up the pot.
"Withdraw, withdraw!" Captain Jaska immediately shouted.
Opposite the foot of the wall, several veterans had already untied their robes and took out the iron plate on Zhu Wenkui's chest. A crossbow bolt hit the chest, piercing the thick iron plate. The nail plate below was also deformed, and the leather rope that held the nail piece was almost completely broken, and it was barely blocked by the innermost leather pad.
Another arrow was shot in the abdomen. Luckily, the belly swallow on his belt blocked the arrow, deflecting the diagonal arrow a little more. The crossbow bolt tore off the belt hook and belt, scraped a string of armor pieces along the way, and plowed a blood groove on the waist, but fortunately it did not hit the vital point. However, there was no iron plate to support it, and the huge impact almost made him faint in pain. The retainers didn't care about so much, threw away the bad nail tablets, picked up half a bottle of cold wine, poured him a spirit directly, and then ran away with him.
Almost as soon as they were moving, there was a loud bang in the backyard. However, the enemy did not seem to be too surprised by this, and some people had already reacted and began to rush towards this place.
The last three musketeers also fired at once, knocking down the two fastest runners. But the enemies behind didn't care at all, but immediately shouted at each other and swarmed up.
Their reaction was somewhat beyond the guards' expectations, and everyone immediately ran back, but those people chased after them as if they had forgotten the danger. Zhu Wenkui was originally worried that the enemy would not come in, so the focus was on how to lure the enemy. For the convenience of withdrawal, there were not too many people left to block the attack. As a result, the enemy rushed in at once, scurrying all over the yard.
Captain Jaska and the others had already left the back wall. There were several enemies there, but the people in the courtyard rushed out and cut down one. The others hurriedly retreated as they shouted for help. The people who entered the courtyard heard their shouts and also took shortcuts to chase after them, trying to reinforce them.
The middle-aged mercenary looked back, pulled out his long sword, and shouted to the person next to him: "It's too late, you guys hurry up, I'll go and block it." β
"Then you ......" The young man next to him hurriedly turned around.
"Get out of here." The middle-aged mercenary pushed him away, and there was no time to chatter, turning back to meet the enemy. The visitor was also wearing full-body armor, and some of the torn armor was painted with colorful patterns. The two soon became entangled, and the enemies behind also tried to help, blocking the narrow alleyway for a while. The others left the place immediately.
On the other side, Brother Zerik stood at the mouth of the cellar, picked up his pistol and fired a shot at the enemy. Finding him resisting here, someone chased after him. The monk crouched down, shrank into the mouth of the cellar, dodged their bolts, and picked up a long-handled musket. The enemy on that side hesitated, and the leading few men began to look for cover, and more people rushed behind them.
Brother Zelik did not take the opportunity to evacuate, but looked around. Estimating that the time was about the same, he did not hesitate, drew a cross on his chest, and pulled the rope violently.
However, I don't know if there was a problem with the trigger or if the rope was sent, and after pulling it for a while, there was no reaction from below. Brother Zelik was not surprised by the dumbfire, though. He grabbed the musket, aimed it at the powder pile, and without hesitation, stabbed the arquebus directly into the pool.
A gunshot rang out, and before the people around could react, the entire cellar exploded.
The massive shockwave sent the entire ground violently, sending the flames into the sky. The people and debris in the courtyard were instantly torn to pieces by the violent air current, billowing smoke and dust, with a blazing red firelight, rising straight up.
Zhu Wenkui and his entourage deliberately ran around the house, and they had already run out of half a block, but they were still shocked and fell down. And behind them, a group of enemies had just used halberds and axes to cut down the middle-aged mercenaries who were blocking the road, and they immediately chased after them, and the team pulled a long line.
The last person was engulfed in flames before he could get out of the courtyard. Those who were farther away were also lifted by the air waves, and the adult strong men in heavy armor were thrown out like rag dolls.
In the team, Zhu Wenkui also fell to the ground. When I stood up and turned my head, I saw a column of red and black smoke rising into the sky, shaped like a Ganoderma lucidum. I even saw that the armor and cotton clothes on the body of the person were blown away by the air current, and the body flew out naked, and hit the wall across the street before falling. The fastest pursuer, although not directly affected, also fell to the ground, looking around in shock, and did not react to what the situation was.
Zhu Wenkui shook his head and felt that his ears hurt a little. But before he could get up, he saw Captain Jeska leap to his feet and shouted at the people next to him, "Horn! Take out the horn! β
Hearing his request, the people next to him also came back to their senses, grabbed the horn and blew it. Several of the retainers around heard the sound and jumped up and rushed towards the enemy with the captain.
Zhu Wenkui also understood the meaning at once, ran quickly to the intersection, and pretended to make a gesture.
"Wait a minuteβdon't run around, let's go!" Jeanne hurriedly shouted: "Didn't you say that I commanded it......"
However, everyone ignored her. Captain Jeska and the others took this opportunity to quickly kill the two leading pursuers, and continued to fight back. The enemy behind looked around and found Zhu Wenkui standing in the middle of the street, as if he was beckoning someone, and immediately realized that the situation was not good. Someone shouted, "We've been fooled!" The others also reacted and immediately began to retreat.
Jeanna sighed and helped Princess Ma to leave first. After a while, seeing that the remaining enemies had retreated to the corner of the street, Captain Jeska also led people to turn a corner, pulled Zhu Wenkui, and went around the other way to join them.
Zhu Wenkui turned his head, looked at the billowing smoke rising from the old site of King Wu's mansion, and sighed with emotion.
"Now I'm homeless again." He clutched his stomach and grumbled, "But speaking of which, did you shoot you?" I was in a daze, and I didn't know what was going on behind it, so I dragged it away. β
"It seems to have hit. I saw her fall directly to the ground, and she probably died on the spot. "Someone said.
"No, she didn't miss the first two shots. I leaned over and fired another shot, but the enemy came straight up, and I ran without looking closely. β
"I was at the back and saw her fall to the ground, and she was lifted up by the Frenchmen and pushed this way." Another told him.
"What does that mean?"
"I don't know, maybe the situation is urgent, and you want to confirm the results? After all, they also have to care about whether the young master is still alive. But it's not dead, and it's too hard......"
"No matter how hard it is, it's useless. The explosion was so powerful that I was stupefied myself. Someone sighed: "The fire is so big, they will definitely not be able to escape if they run into the yard." That princess Jeanne must have been burned to death in the courtyard. β
"That's how it should be." Everyone agreed: "Look, it's still burning." I'm afraid this house is completely gone. β
"How much gunpowder has the young master saved, this ......"
"Maybe the people of the Ming Dynasty liked this."
Everyone chatted and discussed, and soon escorted Zhu Wenkui's family away.
