This courtyard resembles a courtyard house, but it is much larger than an ordinary courtyard house, separated by a wall, and there is a large courtyard after entering the door, surrounded by houses. ＣＯＭ

Mingxuan didn't say much, jumped directly from the roof next to him, and gently fell into a corner of the courtyard, because of the light, even if someone walked in front of him, he couldn't notice that there was someone in the corner.

Ming Xuan carefully looked at this courtyard, although the courtyard had been tidied up, but there were still some bamboo tubes and iron sheets and other objects, although there was no shadow of gunpowder, but the air faintly exuded the unique pungent smell of gunpowder, which made Ming Xuan even more convinced that gunpowder was hidden here.

When he arrived here, Ming Xuan began to carefully investigate with spiritual power, for the sake of prudence, he only used extremely weak spiritual power, and it was a house-by-house investigation.

"This is the kitchen. ”

"This is the utility room. ”

"This is a thatched house. ”

Ming Xuan did not let go of any detail.

"Well, this is a bedroom, and there are a lot of people, but they don't have any cultivation, they all seem to be craftsmen. Ming Xuan found a large room in which twenty or thirty people were sleeping.

Through the somewhat dilapidated windows, Ming Xuan saw the situation inside, the room was very simple, there was a row of beds on both sides, the beds were crowded with people, their hands and feet were very strong and rough, at first glance, they were laborers, especially a pair of hands, not only covered with calluses, but also found that there was some black powder between their fingernails, no need to think about it, it must be gunpowder, it seems that gunpowder was processed by them.

"There is no gunpowder in the houses on both sides, it seems that the main lord is in the main hall!" Mingxuan said secretly, if he didn't see the gunpowder with his own eyes, he wouldn't stop.

After making sure that it was safe, Ming Xuan flashed and broke into the main hall, through the faint light of the moon through the window, Ming Xuan could see it clearly, there were dozens of tables neatly placed in the hall, obviously where those people were working just now, and the gunpowder was neatly stacked behind the platform, occupying half of the hall, and these were all.

"Something seems to be wrong! Although there is a lot of gunpowder here, there should be more than that! And what is even more strange is that except for some strange-shaped tools, there is nothing related to gunpowder on these platforms, not even a finished product after processing!" Ming Xuan carefully looked at the hall, feeling that there was something strange everywhere!

Just as Ming Xuan was looking around, a blue brick under his feet made a discordant sound, although it was slight, but it couldn't escape Ming Xuan's keen ears

Ming Xuan knocked lightly and found that there was an echo from the green bricks, it seemed that this underground was empty!

"It's a hidden mystery!" I said. Ming Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

If you look closely, the joints of this brick here are indeed a little wider and deeper than the others, and you can't find them if you don't pay too much attention to them.

"No! There should be a mechanism! Otherwise, such a small gap would not be able to be deducted by ordinary people!" Ming Xuan was about to directly suck the square bricks with his palm power, when he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Thinking of this, Ming Xuan didn't dare to open the bricks rashly, for the sake of prudence, it was more reliable to visit directly with spiritual power.

I didn't know if I didn't know it, but I was shocked when I looked into it, and under the bricks was a bigger and deeper place than the hall, except for an aisle in the middle, which was full of gunpowder! Not to mention a few merchant ships, even if they were doubled, they could fit it, not to mention that there were so many workers toiling day and night.

"The stored gunpowder has been found, but where did the finished product go?"

"Hmm, no! there seems to be another layer underground!" With the discovery in the main hall, Ming Xuan specially paid attention to the situation on the ground when he explored, and sure enough, there was also a square brick on the next floor of the corridor that was obviously looser than the gaps in other places, and there was obviously a lower layer.

"It's already stored in the inner hall of the Xiongfeng Hall, and it's hidden layer after layer, the Cao Gang is really cautious!"

Now that I've found it, it's natural to investigate.

However, this time it was not so smooth, the spiritual power did not penetrate the bricks, not only because the spiritual power used by Ming Xuan was relatively weak, but also because the stone bricks laid this time were extremely thick, and the spiritual power used was not enough to penetrate the past.

"It seems that all the good things are down there!" This only aroused Ming Xuan's interest even more, and he didn't do anything, and directly strengthened his spiritual power to probe over.

No matter how thick the stone bricks are, they can't resist the penetration of spiritual power, and this time the spiritual power passes through unimpeded!

Just when Ming Xuan was ready to check it out, there was a sudden "ding dong"! A powerful backlash hit his face, shocking Ming Xuan a little for a while, and his spiritual power seemed to have touched something, and he was actually backlashed!

"Oh no!" Ming Xuan suddenly felt bad, and after a short adjustment, he immediately flew out!

Now that he has been counterattacked, his whereabouts must be exposed!

Leaving the courtyard, Ming Xuan didn't dare to stay, and immediately greeted Xie Ziqing, without saying a word, he directly hugged her and prepared to escape, this time is not the time to worry about the violence not being exposed!

Seeing Ming Xuan's solemn face, Xie Ziqing didn't dare to ask more, and let him fly away with his arms, but he didn't go far, and saw that Ming Xuan stopped his body stiffly.

At some point, a figure stood on a cornice next to it, with his hands behind his back, and his robe fluttering gently in the wind.

"Friend, since they're all here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" a clear male voice came, d3()

"We've been discovered!" Seeing this, Xie Ziqing also understood.

"The night is long, walking around, I can't think of breaking into the precious land by mistake, I hope to forgive me, make it convenient!" Seeing that the other party was able to come to his neighborhood quietly, cultivating himself as only strong and not weak, Ming Xuan couldn't help frowning.

"Oh, this excuse is really fresh! I am in such a big place, there are so many guards, Your Excellency can't see it, and you can come to my inner hall by mistake, and then peep into the secrets of my hall, it's amazing! It's really amazing!" Ming Xuan's excuse was directly rejected by the man with disdain.

"It's because of this curiosity that I came to look around, whether you believe it or not. "It's all here, and any more is actually redundant.

"It doesn't matter if I believe it or not, but it seems that my brothers definitely don't believe it!" As he spoke, blazing torches gradually lit everywhere, and nearly a hundred disciples of the Xiongfeng Hall quickly surrounded him, all of whom were not weak.

Ming Xuan couldn't help but change his face a little, and secretly regretted in his heart, if he was discovered, he still insisted on leaving, even if the man wanted to stop him, he was sure to escape from a distance, at least he could leave the inner hall, then he could escape a little more hope, and he would not be surrounded so easily, he himself did not care, the key was that Xie Ziqing's martial arts were low, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to distract him to take care of her.

"What are you going to do?" Thinking of this, Ming Xuan also had to pause his tone.

"Your Excellency is also a sensible person, although my Cao Gang is not a famous faction in Zhongzhou, but it is also well-known in the rivers and lakes, so let Your Excellency break around and spread to the rivers and lakes, and I think my Cao Gang is easy to bully!" Seeing his subordinates quickly assembled, the man's tone was not so polite.

"Are you afraid?" Seeing that the other party's tone was getting harder, Ming Xuan also knew that there was no room for turnaround, so he simply didn't bother to deal with him, and asked Xie Ziqing softly.

"What's so scared of this!" With Mingxuan by his side, Xie Ziqing was very down-to-earth.

"I'll hold them back later, you can leave when you have the chance, don't worry about me, they can't keep me!" Ming Xuan said with a smile.

"Let's go together, stay together!" Xie Ziqing looked at Ming Xuan with firm eyes, and her tone was even more decisive.

"It's okay, don't worry, it'll be fine!" Ming Xuan's heart warmed, and he didn't say anything more.

"Your Excellency is so bold!" Seeing that Ming Xuan ignored him, the man couldn't help but be a little angry.

"Since you dare to be disrespectful to our hall master, I think you are impatient!" A strong man beside him pointed at Ming Xuan with a knife, and echoed viciously.

"I'm talking to your hall master, it's not your turn to make noise!" Ming Xuan suddenly stood upside down, waved his hand, and a domineering spiritual power surged out!

With just one move, the strong man was directly split into two! Flesh and blood exploded! The people who were still around Ming Xuan just now immediately retreated several steps in fright, and the disdain and arrogance in their eyes turned into horror and timidity, d4()

The situation was immediately reversed!

"A dignified spirit! Don't you feel ashamed to actually attack a mere capable person!" Seeing Ming Xuan say that he would do it, the man couldn't help but be angry! It seems that this strong man is his right-hand man.

"It's easy to keep me, but I don't know how many people here can stay?" Ming Xuan didn't want to warn them on a whim, if they wanted to keep them, they would have to pay a heavy price!

"Zhu Santong, the hall master of Xia Xiongfeng Hall, didn't ask for advice?" Seeing Ming Xuan so arrogant, Zhu Santong also had to weigh it.

"The cheap name is not enough to worry about, please also ask the master of Zhu Tang to make it convenient, let the two of us leave, today's matter, I will come to the door to apologize in the future!" Ming Xuan was both soft and hard, and he didn't want to entangle with him.

"Hmph! If you don't eat and drink, then don't blame Zhu for being unkind!" Seeing that Mingxuan didn't buy it at all, Zhu Santong was a dignified and majestic hall master, so he naturally couldn't stand this kind of grievance.

As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhu Santong's figure flash, and in a blink of an eye, he came to Ming Xuan's side, changed his hand into a claw and attacked Ming Xuan directly!

Ming Xuan had already taken precautions! Stretching out his hand to block Zhu Santong's attack, the two immediately fought together!

Inevitably affected by the spiritual power, the people of the Xiongfeng Hall hurriedly flashed to the side, Xie Ziqing also had to dodge, and before the foothold was stable, the people of the Xiongfeng Hall killed them!

For a time, the sound of killing shook the sky!

This courtyard resembles a courtyard house, but it is much larger than an ordinary courtyard house, separated by a wall, and there is a large courtyard after entering the door, surrounded by houses. ＣＯＭ

Mingxuan didn't say much, jumped directly from the roof next to him, and gently fell into a corner of the courtyard, because of the light, even if someone walked in front of him, he couldn't notice that there was someone in the corner.
