East Factory Governor

Chapter 688 Two Apostles!
Qin Shuhuai lay on the roof for a while.

I saw a group of strong men enter the backyard, and then from a large room, they brought out boxes of things, which looked very heavy.

Qin Shuhuai quietly left the room, quickly hid behind a flower bed, and took a closer look.

There were two strong men carrying a large and long wooden box, which might be too heavy, so they put the box on the ground and took a breath.

When the box fell to the ground, there was a "jingling" sound.

From the sound, it should be a weapon.

There were a lot of boxes, and it took a full half an hour for dozens of big men to move them.

Then load the car and set off.

Qin Shuhuai couldn't hold back his curiosity, and went to the big room where the boxes were stored.

Before the door was locked, Qin Shuhuai entered in a flash.

Inside, it was empty.

But there was a peculiar smell in the air.

It's a bit like the smell of salt fire.

Qin Shuhuai squatted down, and through the moonlight coming in from the window, he saw some fine powder on the ground.

I touched some with my fingers, and when I took a closer look, I frowned.

It's gunpowder!
So the thing that was shipped to Lanzhou last time was gunpowder?
The empress wants to blow up the demon masters in Lanzhou city?

But the demon sect is heavily guarded there, how could she bury gunpowder?
Not to mention digging a hole secretly, if this can be successful, how can the Houtu Banner of the Devil's Cult be embarrassed?

Not to mention burying, even if she wanted to bring gunpowder from outside the city into the city, it would be difficult, wouldn't it?

There are more and more questions in my heart.

Now he had to thoroughly figure out the plan of the Empress.

Otherwise, not only would he not be able to save Yan Huizhi and the others, but he might also be involved.

Speaking of which, regardless of how the Empress and the Demon Society kill each other, he, the third party, is always the weakest one.It is true that the fisherman gains from the snipe and clam fight, but if you want to be the fisherman, you must first know the situation of both parties thoroughly.

Thinking of this, he didn't want to sleep anymore, so he immediately went back to the wing room and spread out the quilt and bed as if they had been moved.

Then go out and drive overnight.

He wanted to arrive at the so-called "small forest outside Lanzhou City" before the shipment arrived.

When he returned to the town, he found that the horse that had been hitched was gone.

I couldn't help cursing secretly a few times, and I don't know which bastard was dragged away.

Coincidentally, a group of businessmen traveling at night passed by on the official road.

After the Demon Cult took over Gansu, the law and order in Gansu became better, and even businessmen dared to travel at night.

Qin Shuhuai immediately went forward, still using the old method, offering to buy them a horse at double the price.

A businessman is a businessman, and as soon as he hears that there is a profit, he immediately makes a deal.

Qin Shuhuai rode his horse, bypassed Weidian Town, and then went straight to Lanzhou.

At noon the next day, we arrived at Tongwei County.

This time he tied the horse to a very hidden corner, and then sneaked into the town quietly.

After eating in the town, I found bamboo hats for sale when I came out.

He thought that if he went all the way like this, he would meet the secret whistle of the Demon Cult on the way, so he might as well buy a bamboo hat to wear - anyway, there are many people wearing bamboo hats, and he is not the only one.

So I bought a bamboo hat, and went to a tailor shop to buy a white gown.

Go out of town, change your clothes, and put on a bamboo hat.

So at first glance, he still looks a bit like those people from the Western Regions - of course he doesn't look the same when you look closely, because the style of clothes is completely different.

Get on the horse and move on.

After another two days and one night, I finally arrived at Lanzhou City, twenty miles away.

It was estimated that the batch of goods would take a long time to arrive, so he waited on the official road in the east of the city.

At midnight, I finally saw a convoy of more than 20 horses rushing over.

It was the cavalry that came from Weidian Town.

Qin Shuhuai quietly followed to see how they delivered the goods next.

The convoy went forward for a few more miles, then turned into a trail, and after another quarter of an hour, they came to a forest.

Stop, as if waiting for something.

Not long after, two horses came, and immediately there were two people.

Through the light of the torches, Qin Shuhuai saw that one of them looked very familiar.

When I recalled it carefully, I was taken aback.

Isn't this the second apostle of the Demon Cult? !
I wiped it!
The two apostles personally came to meet the queen's things?
Has he turned to the Empress?

Damn, now the Demon Cult has become this kind of virtue?How did such a big traitor come out?
But the second apostle has such an obvious goal, is it reasonable to come to pick up the goods in person?He is not afraid of exposure?Why didn't he send someone down?
Qin Shuhuai felt that his head was about to burst from all kinds of question marks.

Ah hey, are you tired of messing with me, a voyeur?

After the two apostles arrived, they continued to move forward with these people and goods.

Going further, the road is densely covered with guard posts of the Demon Cult.

Fortunately, it was night, and Qin Shuhuai changed into black clothes earlier, so with his skill, he was naturally not noticed.

These guard posts were supposed to check all the goods, but after seeing the two apostles, they didn't check and let them go.

In just over a dozen miles, he went through five interrogations.

Qin Shuhuai understood a little.

The Devil's Cult is now extremely strict on people and things that enter Lanzhou City. If the Second Apostle doesn't go out in person, even if he has a token under his command, he will be scrupulously inspected by the Devil's Sect soldiers.

In addition, it is more likely that if the second apostle rebelled, his subordinates may not necessarily rebel.The beliefs of the Demon Cultists are very firm. The second apostle must not dare to take the risk of assigning his subordinates to do such a thing. If his subordinates find something wrong and report it to the leader, wouldn't the matter be completely exposed?
That's why the two apostles had to come in person!

However, Qin Shuhuai didn't understand at all that the status of the second apostle in the Demon Sect was already extremely high, so why did they betray the Demon Sect?
The convoy entered Lanzhou City smoothly.

After Qin Shuhuai watched them go in, he also found a section of the city wall with relatively few troops stationed there, and turned over quietly.

Continuing to track, I saw the convoy stopped in front of a big house in the city, and then the strong men moved their things in.

Qin Shuhuai thought, so the gunpowder brought last time is also hidden here?
Or is it already buried?
He is a little bit convinced now that if the second apostle has turned to the Empress, then the Empress is likely to bury gunpowder in Lanzhou City.

The key is where is the gunpowder buried?

It shouldn't be possible to bury it directly under the governor's office, right?The leader of the Demon Cult lives there, and there are so many experts around, even if there are two apostles to answer, they can't bury the gunpowder, right?

Where can it be buried?This question is very important!
If I accidentally jumped up there by accident, if someone ignited it, I would be killed no matter how awesome I am!
But how to check this matter?

After much deliberation, I can't think of a way for the time being.

So I had no choice but to go out of the city and first went to Sanlipu in the east of the city.

Sanlipu is a very small town with hundreds of households.

According to what Shen Xi said, Qin Shuhuai found a blacksmith shop.

In the middle of the night, a tall and thin blacksmith was still forging iron, not afraid of disturbing the people.

"Excuse me, is this Chen Tiejiang's house?" Qin Shuhuai asked.

The tall and thin blacksmith sized Qin Shuhuai carefully and said, "My surname is Chen. Who are you?"

Qin Shuhuai walked up to him, lowered his voice, smiled faintly, and said, "My surname is Qin, and I was entrusted by Senior Shen to look for you."

The tall and thin blacksmith put down the red-hot iron in his hand, and then led Qin Shuhuai into the dark room.

There was a musty smell in the room.

"Are you Qin Shuhuai?" the blacksmith asked, his tone not very friendly.

Qin Shuhuai didn't mind either, and said, "I'm here."

After all, he and Liang Zi of the Devil's Cult had grown up. If this blacksmith was a member of the Devil's Cult, he would naturally not give him any good looks.

Tiejiang Chen took out a fairly new quilt from a dirty wooden box, threw it on the greasy bed, and said, "You can sleep here tonight. Don't go out if you have nothing to do, wait for Elder Shen to send a message."
