Chapter 71
Standing behind the stone lion with Si Xie, Song Ran finally saw the person coming.

It was a group of people, they didn't even take the torches, they just pulled the carriage and sneaked over here.

By the moonlight, Song Ran could see clearly what was on the carriage.

It turned out...it was all gunpowder.

They really hid gunpowder in this place.

"Deputy General Xiao, people in Mingzhou City say that this temple is haunted, why do you think Master Xia insisted on letting us bring things here?"

One of the men in guard uniform asked depressedly.

Xiao Ma glanced at him, and then said in a bad tone: "It's because everyone is afraid of this place that we hide things here so that we won't be discovered."

"But Lieutenant General Xiao, we put so much gunpowder in the firewood room and cellar of the temple. Once the gunpowder is ignited, it will be affected for miles around, and we are not immune. Why do you want to put so much gunpowder?"

"That's right, Lieutenant General Xiao, there is enough gunpowder before, it's enough for us, why did Master Xia let us continue to transport gunpowder. The more the quantity, the more dangerous we are..."

The others also followed suit, and they couldn't help looking at Xiao Ma with nervous eyes.

Xiao Ma looked at them with nervous expressions on their faces.

He naturally knew what they were worried about.

Isn't it because they are afraid that if this place is ignited, they will also be implicated?

but……

This is exactly what Master Xia meant.

Master Xia has long been prepared.

He had long planned to abandon the city.

The world doesn't know that he is a puppet of the Ning family, they only know that Mingzhou City is under his control.

If one day the secret here is discovered by the world, even if he is powerful, he will still suffer the backlash of the people.

Therefore, the fewer people who know the secrets of this city, the better.

Only the dead can keep secrets.

After Xia University's personnel affairs are completed, it will be the time for these people to die.

Xiao Ma glanced at those faces from the corner of his eye, and a bit of contempt flashed in the depths of his eyes.

But they are all a bunch of lowly people, and when they die, they die.

So his tone was extremely impatient, "This is Lord Xia's order, you just have to follow it. If anyone still has so many complaints, don't blame the deputy general for being rude."

After hearing Xiao Ma's warning, even though the rest of the people still had many questions in their hearts, they didn't dare to ask them out loud. They could only push the carriage silently.

Song Ran could clearly hear their conversation, her heart sank slightly, and she quickly thought of something.

She was a little anxious, so she almost forgot that the person standing next to her was not an ordinary emperor, but a tyrant with a treacherous and unpredictable mind.

She quickly clasped his wrist, then pulled his hand up, and wrote in his palm——

Xia Jian blew up the city after what he wanted, and even wanted to kill people to silence him.

Because she hadn't regained her mana, and she couldn't communicate with her internal energy, let alone make a sound, so she could only use this method to remind Si Xie.

Si Xie can naturally think of what she reminded.

But he seems to be more concerned about when Xia Jian will blow up Mingzhou City now...

Why is this kid so courageous, he actually wrote on his palm by committing an offense!

Song Ran was quite a bit shorter than him, and he needed to look down at her.

He saw her fingers writing quickly in his palm, while the other hand was still holding his wrist.

Strange……

Why are the kid's fingers so soft?

Could it be that all eunuchs look like this?A faint light flickered in Si Xie's eyes.

After Song Ran finished writing, as soon as she raised her head, she was able to meet Si Xie's dark, scrutinizing eyes.

Her eyelids twitched violently.

Unfortunately, she actually forgot the identity of the man in front of her because of her impatience.

Taking a deep breath, Song Ran quickly let go of his dragon claws.

Her heart was also tense all the time, and she didn't know how this preoccupied dog tyrant would punish her.

But what shocked her was that Si Xie had no intention of punishing her at all.

He just glanced at her lowered hand with dark eyes, and then withdrew his eyes indifferently.

Over there, Xiao Ma and others have already opened the back door of Lingdao Temple.

Then push in today's gunpowder.

Song Ran and Si Xie followed behind them, just in time to see the mountain of gunpowder.

Seeing that scene, Song Ran's heart sank again.

Sure enough, there was a lot of gunpowder.

but……

Isn't gunpowder strictly controlled in the world?

As for Mingzhou City, it seems that there are only materials for making weapons, but there are no materials for making gunpowder.

So, where did all this gunpowder come from?
Is it...

There is another group of people?

Si Xie can naturally think of the concerns that Song Ran can think of.

He just stood there, the air-conditioning all over his body was very permeating.

Song Ran looked at Si Xie, then raised his hand, and made a movement of wiping the front of his neck.

She wanted to ask Si Xie if he wanted to get rid of these people.

As a result, a certain tyrant glanced at her, then used his internal force to spread his voice, and said contemptuously, "If you are reckless, you will know how to kill."

Song Ran: "..."

She gritted her teeth and wanted to ask him what a good way to do?
But at this moment, a gust of cold wind blew up all the dead leaves on the ground, and Song Ran felt that he couldn't see clearly.

Suddenly at this moment, Si Xie grabbed her wrist and pulled her behind him.

Song Ran shook his head, and then he saw Si Xie's generous back clearly.

Her eyelids twitched violently. Is the tyrant protecting her?
She turned her head and looked from Si Xie's side, only to see Xiao Ma and others circling in place.

"Vice General Xiao, Vice General Xiao, where are you?"

Those guards began to shout in panic like a group of dragons without a leader.

Seeing this scene, Song Ran and Si Xie narrowed their eyes slightly.

These guards were all looking for the Deputy General Xiao they were talking about, but Deputy General Xiao was clearly right in front of their eyes!
The group of guards kept raising their hands and groping, and then shouted anxiously, their voices were extremely panicked.

On the other hand, Xiao Ma called out the names of his subordinates with a gloomy face, because he thought that the group of people had all run away.

so weird...

The surrounding wind was still howling, and a chill began to gather from the limbs to the body.

There is no barrier between them, but it is as if they are in two places, neither can see the other, nor can they hear each other's voice.

This scene...

Song Ran frowned, as if he had thought of something.

But at this time, Si Xie in front of her actually took a step towards Xiao Ma and the others.

"Your Majesty, no!"

After Song Ran came to his senses, he anxiously called out to Si Xie.

But Si Xie continued to move forward as if he couldn't hear him.

"Oops!" Song Ran clenched her fists, and finally ran towards Si Xie.
