Chapter Twenty-Seven: Triggers

"Are you sure this thing is dangerous"?

Suddenly, Ermu, Lu Yuanhang, and Lu Xinghe, the three of them took a few personal soldiers, and walked towards the backyard of the General's Mansion, and suddenly Ermu asked Lu Xinghe.

"I can be sure that it is a weapon, as for how to use it and how powerful it is, I can't be sure yet, but since Chu Tiangang brought it to the battlefield, it shows that it has the power to turn the tide of the battle."

When they came to a room, Lu Xinghe asked his subordinates to open the door, and the three of them entered the house one after another.

"This is it," he said, pointing to three pieces of iron on the ground: a barrel more than three meters long and half a meter thick, a platform five meters square, and a set of gears.

Seeing these three things, Lu Yuanhang didn't feel anything, but suddenly Mu was taken aback. He circled around the pile of things again, looked at it carefully, and after confirming his speculation, he said with a solemn face: "Although I have only seen this thing once, I am very impressed. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a trigger."

"Triggers"? When Lu Yuanhang looked at it again, it was indeed a bit like a device that launched something.

"And what does it emit on? Is it ......"? His eyes widened suddenly, panicking at the speculation. However, the next words made him put his heart down.

"The ultimate weapon doesn't need a trigger, so don't worry, it's a trigger made of alloy steel for an incendiary canister."

"Since they fired incendiary canisters, why are they useless"? Lu Xinghe asked puzzledly: "As far as the battle situation at that time is concerned, the use of incendiary canisters can cause huge casualties to our side, so as to break through the Dome Mulberry City more quickly."

Suddenly, Mu looked out of the door with deep eyes, shook his head, and said: "It's not that they don't want to do it, it's that they can't make it, I think, they are preparing for defeat."

When Lu Xinghe heard him say this, he felt even more confused: "Do they want to die with us when they lose?"

"Of course not"! Suddenly, Timber immediately denied his claim: "They wanted to trigger it again after the retreat, and luckily, they lost one of the extremely important parts." As he spoke, he walked over to the gears and pointed them out: "There was originally an iron bar here that supported the gears, which was used to reverse the blocking gears, without this thing, the machine would not be able to add force, and naturally it would not be able to be used.

"Is an incendiary cylinder so powerful"? Lu Xinghe still felt that Su Ermu was a little exaggerated, although he had never seen the incendiary canister, but the machine that launched it was in front of him, and it was inferred from the dispenser that this incendiary canister would not be too big.

"The incendiary canister is not lethal, but when it is triggered, a solid ice inside will melt, and the original virus wrapped in it will be dispersed into the air in the form of smoke and dust. Although I can't be sure what this virus is, it must be a devastating mutation, and once it spreads, the whole north will not be spared, even decades, hundreds of years later, there will be residual poison."

When Lu Xinghe and Lu Yuanhang heard this, they couldn't help but secretly rejoice that such a small mistake by the enemy not only saved them, but also saved future generations.

"However, when we seized the trigger, we didn't see the incendiary canister, could it be that they hid it? Or was it lost in an explosion"?

"It's unlikely to be lost," Lu Yuanhang said, "They even rescued the troika, how could such an important thing be lost?" If it had been lost in the city, then a strong explosion would have released the virus a long time ago, how could we be safe and sound now"?

"Or maybe they don't have the incendiary canister, or rather, the virus in the incendiary canister."

"Oh"? Lu Xinghe and Lu Yuanhang looked at Suddenly Wood together.

"This possibility is very high," explained Suzuki, "As far as I know, in the entire Kyushu Continent, the only one who can really develop a primitive virus is the Demon God Academy." Speaking of which, he looks like Lu Xinghe.

"When Chu Yuxing wanted to use the primordial virus, he probably didn't expect that Dongduo would send troops to rescue us, and the Demon God Academy probably didn't expect it either, so the two sides reached an agreement. Later, Dongduo sent troops to Sanggan, and the Demon God Academy could not sell the virus to the enemy. But Chu Yuxing didn't know this, so he pulled the trigger over."

Lu Yuanhang and Lu Xinghe both felt that his inference was very reasonable, and nodded their heads again and again, but they still didn't understand a little: "If the Demon God Academy really agreed to Chu Yuxing's request and sold the virus to him, wouldn't the Dongduo people also suffer, and wouldn't they themselves be spared?"

"Lord Wang, can't you still understand such a simple question? Since people dare to sell, it proves that they already have protective measures, otherwise, wouldn't they be killing themselves? How can there be such a stupid person in the world"?

Suddenly, Mu's words made Lu Yuanhang's face red, and he hurriedly lowered his head. At this time, Lu Xinghe also said thoughtfully: "Yes, yes, before we left the army, we once drank an unpleasant water, and it is said that the whole country drank it. That's not all, all crowded places are disinfected."

"This is strange", after Lu Yuanhang heard Lu Xinghe's words, he felt quite strange and said: "Judging from this situation, the Demon God Academy should have sold the virus to Chu Yuxing, if it hadn't been sold, wouldn't this precautionary measure be a big move?"

Several people looked at each other, and for a moment they couldn't figure out whose hands this dangerous thing was.

"It's better to be like this", suddenly said: "General Lu sent a reliable person back, like Emperor Mai to know about this matter, to see if he can know the details." On the other hand, the prince also sent a reliable army of men and horses to search carefully in the ruins of the dome to see if they had lost it in a hurry, or if they had hidden it for security reasons."

The two of them immediately went their separate ways, and the news from Lu Xinghe's side came soon, but this news was not only unexpected by them, but also made them very uneasy.

"This is definitely not good news", Lu Xinghe looked at Hu Ermu and Lu Yuanhang, and said with a heavy heart: "According to the people who came back, the virus agent has been sold to Chu Yuxing, but now, it is not in his hands."

"What's going on"? The two of them were blindsided by him, and they were confused for a while.

"They sold it to Chu Yuxing half a month before we sent out the army, but later they learned that Chu Yuxing, who bought the virus progenitor, was not Chu Yuxing of Kangle people."

"Why are there still two Chu Yujing"? This made them even more dizzy.

"I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear", Lu Xinghe smiled awkwardly and continued: "It's not the two Chu Yuxing, it's the person who received the goods who impersonated him and cut off his beard halfway." Of course, they are not in the name of Chu Yuxing, but in the name of his connector."

"Huh? And such an outrageous thing"?

"Even the Demon God Academy itself can't believe it, but that's exactly what happened!" Lu Xinghe smiled bitterly: "Not many people know about such a confidential matter within them, how did the news leak out?" And who got the news and did such an appalling thing? What was the purpose of his getting the virus?"

"The most important thing is, where is the virus now"? "They obviously didn't resell it, they didn't use it. So, are they doing it to protect the people, or are they going to be opportunistic, or are they trying to do something else"?

No one could answer this series of questions, not even Chu Yuxing had a clue. At this moment, he is also struggling with this problem. What annoyed him even more was that the man not only imitated his servants to steal the virus, but also imitated the people of the Demon God Academy, using a piece of polished smooth ice to deceive him of a shining cart of gold coins.

"The people of the Assassin Alliance, haven't they arrived yet?" Chu Yuxing asked Ma Bo, the most powerful eunuch beside him.

"Back to the emperor, not yet".

Chu Yuxing paced lightly, as if talking to himself, as if he was saying to him: "We have used the four most notorious associations, but they have become what they are now, and it is really not easy to govern the country."
