Yi Xiao Chuan

Chapter 60
The spies who sneaked back from Qiyue City came to Wei Tianheng's big tent and reported what they saw and heard.

Wei Tianheng was overjoyed, "Great, the city lord has already left, and the rest of the people are nothing to be afraid of. Such a great opportunity, how long will we wait without doing anything?"

Yu Hongfeng next to him didn't make any rebuttals, and said respectfully: "But there is an order from the general, and Hongfeng will execute it immediately!"

"Okay!" Wei Tianheng slapped the desk, picked up the token, and was about to hand it to Yu Hongfeng.

"Does Mr. Wei want to disobey Madam's order?" Qi Xia asked loudly and stepped in, snatching the arrow from Wei Tianheng's hand.

"Just a few Miao people going out, are they giving meat for nothing or wanting to expose Madam?" Qi Xia continued to speak viciously.Looking back at Yu Hongfeng coldly: "Overestimating one's abilities!"

"You!" Wei Tianheng was so angry that he couldn't speak, and he slumped onto the chair.No sadness or joy could be seen on Yu Hongfeng's face, he stared at Qi Xia coldly. "Different government orders are a big taboo for military strategists!"

"What do you know? Are you guilty of ruining Madam's affairs?" Qi Xia continued to yell at them.

"The general is away, and the military order is not accepted. The opportunity is fleeting. I am afraid that today's opportunity will be missed. When Madam's army arrives, Qiyue City will also be prepared for protection. If you want to attack the city, it will not be so easy. "Yu Hongfeng was still arguing in a leisurely manner, every word fell to the ground with sound.

Qi Xia turned a deaf ear to this, took a look at the general's order, and said coldly: "From now on, I will command this team. Lord Wei and General Yu, without my order, don't act rashly!" After finishing speaking, without looking back, out of the tent.

Wei Tianheng slammed his fist on the case table, "This woman has done a big job!"

Not far from Wei Tianheng's big tent, two people dressed as ordinary villagers stared at the big tent from a distance, counting the number and distribution of tents.Quietly returned to Qiyue City and ran to Qi Mansion.

It turned out that it was Qi Zhenyue who ordered the general to calm down, and set up a secret watch outside the city overnight, using the tea stand as a cover to monitor suspicious people.Wei Tianheng's team had just arrived outside Qiyue City not long ago, so naturally they couldn't tell whether these tea stalls were real or fake.A real praying mantis catching cicadas came out, and the oriole was behind!

But Laojiutanzi brought Mu Xiaomu, Zhuifeng and others to the woods on the outskirts of Qiyue City to rest temporarily.

After chasing the wind, I got out of the car and looked at the forest in the canyon. After being washed by the rain, the forest became more alive.The flowers are more showy and the leaves are more green.Seeing a few clusters of small mushrooms scattered in the grass at the root of the tree, Zhuifeng suddenly remembered that Yixiao likes to collect poisonous mushrooms, and there must be a lot of them in the forest after the rain.Why don't you help her pick some along the way.

With this in mind, he walked deep into the woods.After picking some brightly colored mushrooms, I heard someone talking faintly.So he hid behind the tree without making a sound, and looked at it secretly.

Only one person shouted: "It's bad, it didn't rain very much last night, why did you drench the gunpowder? If Mr. Wei finds out about this, we will all be sentenced to death!"

The other whispered: "Keep your voice down, it's probably not covered well, but fortunately only a small part of it was damp. If we don't tell, who will know?"

The person just now nodded, "Cover it up quickly, just pretend we didn't find anything. Let's go, let's go."

The two continued to walk forward.

After a closer look, it turned out to be a small tent covered with black oilcloth.Judging from the conversation between the two just now, it's thunder and gunpowder inside.Hiding thunder and gunpowder in such a hidden place must be trying to plot something wrong.

Zhuifeng quietly returned to the carriage, and told Laojiutanzi and Mu Xiaomu what he had just seen.

Mu Xiaomu smiled slightly: "No wonder Master Zi Che couldn't find the missing Lei Gunpowder, so it was transferred here! It seems that the goal of these people is Qiyue City."

The old wine jar asked: "Do you know who did it?"

Mu Xiaomu sneered, "If my guess is right, it's the same gang that killed my bride"!He looked at Zhuifeng, "Hey, young man, you failed to complete your first mission, now you have a chance to make up for it, do you want to try it?"

The other four children all looked at Zhuifeng, Zhuifeng looked at Mu Xiaomu, and said calmly: "I only listen to Sister Yue and Sister Xiao's orders. What you say doesn't count!"

Mu Xiaomu nodded, "Well, you have backbone, will you listen to that brother-in-law?"

The old wine jar glanced at Mu Xiaomu displeasedly, but said nothing.

"Ah, which brother-in-law are you?" White Rabbit asked curiously.

"The white rabbit is still good, of course he is the brother-in-law of Sister Lanyue's family." Mu Xiaomu said.

"It's all a family, so you should listen to Brother Mu!" White Rabbit said, looking at Zhuifeng happily, "Brother Zhuifeng, what do you think?"

"White Rabbit, don't listen to his nonsense, I have never seen Sister Yue give him a good face." Zhuifeng said.

"Hey, you heartless brat, I saved you in that thatched cottage outside the city that day!" Mu Xiaomu pretended to be angry and patted Zhuifeng on the head.

"Stop making trouble!" Old Jiutanzi finally said: "Thunder powder has a lot to do with it. If someone really wants to use it to destroy Qiyue City, it is God's will if we bump into it, and we can't ignore it!"

In Huju City, Ziche Bingfa held a strange letter in his hand, which said that someone was plotting to attack Qiyue City with thunder and gunpowder, and asked Ziche Bingfa to quickly send news to Qiyue City, and be on guard early.

Ziche Bingfa asked the guard who delivered the letter, "Didn't you see who sent the letter?"

The guard replied that a carriage passed by the gate of the Governor's Mansion. After the vehicle passed, the guard found the letter on the ground, but did not see what the person inside the carriage looked like.The carriage also looks ordinary, with no obvious features to distinguish.

Ziche found thunder powder scattered on the ground from Qunfang Tower that day, and began to secretly investigate, but unfortunately there has been no progress.Wei Tianheng also disappeared.The explosion at Mu Xiaomu's wedding, Ziche thought it was the whereabouts of Lei Gunpowder, but he didn't expect that there was a bigger conspiracy!

"Continue to check that carriage, and check all households in the city that have a carriage!" Ziche Bingfa ordered.

On the one hand, he hurriedly wrote a letter and asked the messenger to rush it to Qiyue City! "I hope there is still time!" Zi Che Bingfa prayed silently in his heart.

The gate of Qiyue City was opened wide, and a group of people, led by General Ping Fu, came straight to the woods.

Zhuifeng touched the explosive iron pill that Lanyue gave him, and nodded to everyone. "Don't worry, Sister Yue taught me how to use it."

"We have few people, so we can only make a quick decision. Just detonate the thunder and gunpowder! Once the explosion is heard, evacuate quickly, and don't stay." The old wine jar ordered.

Zhuifeng and Mu Xiaomu each took a few explosive iron pellets and touched towards the small tent deep in the woods.

Wei Tianheng was sulking in the big tent, Yu Hongfeng continued: "My lord, the sudden change of generals, could it be that the madam doesn't trust us? Haven't you always been in touch with the king? Why did a madam appear suddenly?"

While talking, there were several loud noises in the distance, and Yu Hongfeng shouted: "No, the thunder powder exploded!"

Wei Tianheng hurriedly grabbed his sword and rushed out of the tent, Yu Hongfeng also hurried out, with an imperceptible sneer on his face.
