Chapter 202
The box was loaded into the carriage, and dozens of small sandbags were added around it.

Liu Mu also ordered: "Once you find it, don't put out the fire and run away. You are only in the carriage to prevent people from approaching casually. Remember, remember, once you catch fire, run away quickly, don't hurt yourself."

"Yes, Mr. Xie Xiaolang is concerned." Two soldiers of Duke Yi's mansion clasped their fists together.

On the way to the north, Liu Mu went around to the Taoist temple by himself, and took some gunpowder and other ingredients that he had hidden. Dugu Shura did not need to guard the Taoist temple, and brought his 100-odd elite troops to join the team as Liu Mu's servant.

During Liu Mu's detour, Gao Xing, Cui Yiye, and Dou Shikuan actually rode horses, and each of them chased after them with only two servants.

"There is going to be a war there, and you are not afraid of death."

"Is death terrible?" Although Cui Yiye is a son of a famous family, he is not a coward.

At this time in the Tang Dynasty, not many people were afraid of death, whether they were nobles or commoners.

"Well, there are only two requirements. First, stay away from the carriage with the red cloth strips. Second, stay away from the carriage with black cloth strips. There is no reason. Once you get close, don't blame those people with black hands." Liu Mu especially Confess.

Cui Yiye didn't think much about it, he only thought it was a gift from a saint, so he kept people away.

Two days later, the northbound team passed by Huayuan County, and horseshoe-mounted carriages were incorporated into the team. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was still in Renzhi Palace, but he sent Peng Hai himself to the official road to bring his message.

Peng Hai called Liu Mu to a remote place: "The sage ordered that it is not a matter of life or death, and the bamboo tube that looks like a thunderbolt is absolutely not allowed to be used. Also, the miscellaneous family found that you still have a carriage that no one is allowed to approach. What is that?"

"Bone-eating ghost fire. The thing fried from the bones of pigs and sheep is very evil. Once the thing catches fire, it will stick to the body and burn with water until the bones are visible. Even if it doesn't burn to death, it will be caught in the fire died from poison. But the formula seems to be wrong, so only four were made."

Peng Hai stretched out his hand and patted Liumu's head: "You stupid, can such an object be made? Do you want to be smashed to death by the imperial censors' impeachment stamp?"

Liu Mu took out a box of matches: "It's for this."

A small wooden stick catches fire at the stroke of a stroke, and the willow is held upside down, as if flames emerge from the palm of the hand.

Peng Hai took the box of matches and tried it, it was definitely the best thing to start a fire.

"That thing is not allowed to be used, unless..." Peng Hai was somewhat tempted, lowered his voice and said to Liu Mu: "I will ask for an order. If there is a chance, I will give Jieli one, and I will allow you to use one. But make a good disguise, Don't let people find out what you use?"

Liu Mu nodded vigorously: "That thing is actually only about the size of a walnut, and the outside is kerosene."

"Smart. Remember the Zajia's words. Before the Zajia asks you for a decree, you can't use it unless it is a matter of life or death. The saint is very concerned about that object, and it's not time to let the world know." Peng Hai confessed again.

"En." Liu Mu nodded.

Another twenty imperial guards came to Liu Mu's team.

Half of the twenty imperial guards are military officers above the seventh rank, and the leader is a military officer from the fourth rank.As a result, the captain of the Forbidden Army who originally led the team was naturally downgraded a few levels, from leading 300 people to only leading 50 people.

"Here, Xue Wanbei, the saint will let him go north with you. The saint has a secret decree. If there is an accident, the horseshoe will be buried if it cannot be destroyed, or sink the river. Each of the hundred blacksmiths sent has poison If you can’t escape, it’s better to kill yourself than to be captured by the Turks.” Peng Hai confessed to Liu Mu.

Liu Mu expressed his understanding.

Strategic-level materials must never be known by the enemy. Although it is cruel to kill and silence at critical times, for the sake of the overall situation, sometimes you have to be ruthless.

And this Xue Wanbei should be the one who accepted the secret decree.

Peng Hai took out another scroll: "This is an imperial decree, an imperial decree for Duke Yi. The horse has an accident, even if the horse's foot is cut off, the Turkic people will not find the horseshoe."

"Yes!" Liu Mu took it and put it in a special wooden box, and then rolled it into a bundle and carried it on his back.

"You guys get to know each other." Peng Hai signaled Xue Wanbei to come forward.

Liu Mu first clasped his fists together: "I have heard for a long time that the five tigers of the Xue family are all heroic and extraordinary, and they are not polite."

"Wanbei is very polite. Mr. Mu Xiaolang has been famous in Chang'an several times, and I admire him very much. Especially that..." Xue Wanbei stopped, and then said in a very low voice: "Horseshoe, I admire Mr. Xiaolang's high wisdom even more. .”

Peng Hai interrupted the politeness of the two: "Okay, let's go."

Before Liu Mu got on the horse, Peng Hai held Liu Mu again: "You remember what the miscellaneous family told you, it's not a matter of life and death."

"Understood, absolutely not."

After the team set off, Xue Wanbei's eyes turned to the two men in servant clothes.

Xue Wanbei is the fifth child of the Xue family.His reputation is not very big, but on the top row, the fourth brother Xue Wanche is known as the most fierce person under Yu Chigong.The third brother Xue Wanjun went to the Zhu Kingdom, the Duke of Yong'an County, and made great achievements in the founding of the Tang Dynasty.The second elder brother, Xue Wanshu, is the leading general on the right, Duke Liang.The eldest brother Xue Wanshu inherited his father's title and is now the Duke of the State.

And their father, Xue Shixiong, fought in the north and south before the establishment of the Great Sui Dynasty. During the Great Sui Dynasty, Kaifu Yitong Sansi fought countless battles on the northern frontier.

He fought with Tuyuhun and Turks.All the three campaigns of Goguryeo also joined the army.

The father and son of the Xue family are all top fighters. Although Xue Shixiong has passed away, the five tigers of the Xue family are in high positions in the Tang Dynasty with their military exploits.

The youngest brother, Xue Wanbei, should not be underestimated either. This is also the title of county prince, leading the army at the rank of lieutenant general.

Why did Xue Wanbei pay attention to the two servants?

He is a warrior, he can feel that these two people are not under him, defeating him within ten rounds.One person hides a strong murderous intent and is a peak warrior.The other one has a very calm appearance. This is a character with both wisdom and courage.

Xue Wanbei looked at Liu Mu again, and he couldn't understand how Liu Mu could make such a character writer Ding.

These two people are definitely not unknown people.

Thinking of this, Xue Wanbei suddenly raised his hands and cupped his fists: "You two, please."

Dugu Shura, who was the first to return the salute, cupped his fists and saluted.

Then came Su Dingfang, Su Dingfang smiled and said: "The general is polite, kill the little people."

"No, you are extraordinary." Xue Wanbei cupped his fists again and saluted: "I will go to inspect the team, please."

"Please!" Su Dingfang also saluted again.

Seeing Xue Wanbei running away on horseback, Dugu Shura said: "He can't do it, he's a little impetuous. If he's the third or fourth brother, I'd like to fight against him."

Su Dingfang smiled and didn't answer.

He is a criminal general, a general who has no merits right now, so he is not qualified to sit in the same room with these people.

Dugu Shura is different, he is a military officer on the fourth rank.
