Chapter 154 Artillery
It took five days to arrive in Shanhuai by boat along the waterway. Lin Yu and the others found a place to stay, which was very close to the water transport. After several days of observation and inquiry, they finally found the fireworks transported from Li County to Datong.

Fu Yu and Lin Yu led people to investigate all the way, and finally came to Snake Mountain. Xue Anyuan escaped from this place, and He Changfeng also fell down the cliff to his death here.

When he came to this place, Lin Yu became a little more irritable. Although Fu Qichen immediately sent people to exterminate the bandits here after he ascended the throne, many traces were left behind.

Originally thought that after the bandits were wiped out, all that was left was a barren hill with few people.

But when Lin Yu and Fu Yu arrived, they realized that there were a lot of people in this place. There were hundreds of people coming in and out.

Hua Ning and Du Yu couldn't hold back, "Girl, son, servant (subordinate) go over and inquire."

The two said something in unison, then each rolled their eyes, and walked towards the foot of Snake Mountain.

Du Yu was very careful. In order to sneak in, he even stole a piece of clothes to change into, and then approached the man who was working with a hoe.

"Brother, what are we doing here? We haven't seen anything after digging for so long!"

The man wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Be careful. A few days ago, someone asked me every day, but I was whipped more than a dozen times by the supervisor, and half my life was lost."

Hearing this, Du Yu gritted his teeth, "Aren't I also curious, we have hundreds of people working every day, I just saw someone sending fireworks here, are they showing fireworks for us at night?"

The movement of the man wielding the hoe slowed down, he raised his eyes to look at Du Yu, and made Du Yu feel flustered, this man must have discovered something, right?
In the end, the man withdrew his gaze and said in a hoarse voice, "You are new here, those things are not fireworks, they are much more powerful than fireworks."

The man said, pointing to the entrance of the hole not far away, "Did you see that, the hole in front was blown out by the fireworks in your mouth, and a lot of iron ore was exposed at that time."

炸?
Du Yu couldn't help but think of the explosion in Lixian County, and he felt a little worried. It seems that the matter is really not small, the fireworks that will explode, and the iron ore. What are these people digging iron ore for?
Generally, a small amount of iron ore is used to polish agricultural tools, but such a large-scale iron ore area has not been reported to the imperial court to mine it privately. Could it be that this group of people built weapons privately?
Once this idea is born in the mind, it will never dissipate. After two years of mining, how many weapons have been built? Is the person behind it planning to rebel?

Hua Ning changed into a local peasant woman in a flowered jacket, pushed the cart and pretended to be delivering food, and slipped into Snake Mountain when the steward and the others were not paying attention.

She didn't know where she was going, so she followed Du Yu in the opposite direction, and there were fewer and fewer people behind. Hua Ning saw a cave not far away, with more than a dozen people holding hands, and hurried over.

Hua Ning, who was hiding in the dark, waited for several hours, and when it was getting dark, he figured out the pattern, and quickly ran in while the two sides were changing shifts.

A guard turned his head subconsciously and found that there was no one behind him, and couldn't help scratching his head.

"Why do I feel that someone was there just now?"

Another person poked his head around and glanced, then patted the man on the shoulder, "Don't bluff people, there is no one at all, let's just stand on guard."

The guard nodded, "That's right, sometimes I really don't understand what's going on with our lord, telling us to keep an eye on this place every day, what else is there to keep an eye on besides iron mines?"

The other person looked around and lowered his voice, "Haven't you heard? Our lord seems to have built a very powerful weapon. I heard that it can punch through the city gate."

The guard let out an 'ah', and then quickly lowered his voice, "What is so powerful? What are we adults doing with these?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help shivering, "My lord, could he be thinking?"

In the middle of speaking, another person quickly stopped, "Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense, we are on guard, and the rest don't know anything."

Hua Ning listened to the general idea inside, and secretly thought, who is the adult they are talking about?
What other weapon is so powerful that it can break through the city gate?
With more curiosity and doubts in her heart, Hua Ning groped and walked into the cave. She carefully blew on the torch and took charge of the gable.

Finally, in the deepest part of the cave, I saw a huge monster, eight or nine feet high and more than ten feet wide, all made of iron, completely black, with a round hole, I don't know what to do with it.

Hua Ning looked and stroked it curiously, but in the end she still didn't know what it was for, and couldn't figure it out for a while.

There were chaotic footsteps outside, and a strange man's voice was a little louder.

"How is it, is there anything unusual?"

someone is coming!
Hua Ning subconsciously held her breath, and hid behind the huge monster, making defensive and attacking postures.

The guard's voice sounded outside, "My lord, everything is normal."

grown ups?
Hua Ning lowered his eyes, the person outside is the so-called adult with the heart of treason in their mouths?
The adults in the mouth of the guards seemed to give a light 'um', and told them to keep the cave safe, and then left.

After the people left, Hua Ning stood up from the ground, then groped to the entrance of the cave, and slipped out when the next shift came.

When Hua Ning and Du Yu returned to the inn, it was already midnight. Lin Yu and Fu Yu also didn't sleep all night. Hearing what they said, they had already guessed the general idea.

All the lost males in Quyang were taken to Snake Mountain to dig iron ore, and then fireworks from Li County were made into explosives to help mine Snake Mountain iron ore, which was used to build powerful weapons.

It's just that I still don't know what the weapon does, and who is the so-called adult?
Fu Yu's brows were deep, he rubbed the ink, then dipped a bit of the pen and handed it to Hua Ning, "Draw what you see."

Hua Ning took the pen and ink, and then hesitated, "My lord, this servant can't draw, maybe it's a bit ugly!"

Fu Yu nodded, "No problem."

It wasn't until the rice paper became a pitch-black mass at the end that Fu Yu was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Hua Ning's words to be so devoid of modesty.

Hua Ning couldn't help pouting aggrievedly, "My lord, it was you who insisted on letting the servants do the painting, and the servants even said that they would not return to painting."

In the end, Lin Yu had to support his forehead, took the paintbrush, and said to Hua Ning: "You tell me, I will paint."

Fu Yu looked at the things on the paper, and couldn't help shrinking his pupils, "Cannon?"

Lin Yu didn't understand, "What artillery?"

In the previous life, Gu Changyuan made all kinds of things, which can be called magical weapons, and can penetrate the city wall with just a few shots. Because of this thing, he and the emperor's eldest grandson died thousands of times.

Later, he sent people to sneak attack and destroy all the shells of these artillery, and then took back the capital.

Now that Gu Changyuan has been suppressed by them from the very beginning, and the forces left behind by King An have also been wiped out, how could they make such a thing?
