I promise

Chapter 586 Everything is ready
Based on the information that Tan Zhou can obtain so far, it is not wrong to make such an inference.

His mistake was that he underestimated the enemy, or in other words, was too confident.

——He racked his brains and exhausted his wits to lay out what he thought was an ingenious overall situation. Naturally, he didn't want to believe that Mu Dian could see through him and discover the mystery under the stele in such a short period of time.

He is conceited that he has a vicious vision, thinking that he has figured out Xu Younan's thoughts thoroughly.But in fact, no one in this world can truly understand Xu Younan's thoughts.

Jin Yanchen couldn't.

Even Mu Dianke, who has been fighting with him for many years, dare not say that he fully understands him.

After Mu Dianke returned from Huairentang, he clearly noticed that Xu Younan's attitude towards her had changed.She thought it was because she had promised Chang Qianfo a three-year period, so that Xu Younan let go of her guard against her.

As Xu Younan himself said, he didn't necessarily want Mu Dianke to die, he just hoped that she could leave.

As long as Mu Dian no longer poses a threat to his revenge plan, he is willing to care for her like an elder, love her, and keep each other warm in this world full of harm and malice.

Tan Zhou had no way of knowing.

It never occurred to him that Xu Younan, who had been blinded by hatred and regarded human life as nothing, would willingly risk being blown to pieces and help her in order to fulfill the ridiculous kindness in Mu Dianke's heart.

While Mu Dianke and Xu Younan were working together to hold Tan Zhou back, Fang Xianzheng led four thousand troops to dig the canal day and night.

Three days later, Rong Yi never responded to Fang Xian's letter.The Suning family, who had always been eyeing each other, also remained silent, as silent as a pool of stagnant water.

The attitude shown by the entire Jiankang side seemed to be unaware of what the other party was doing in Chuzhou.

This is of course not the truth.

A storm is approaching, and the calmer the sky, the stronger the storm brewing in the dark.

But Fang Xian couldn't retreat.

After taking this step, he never thought of retreating.

At the same time, the haze of death that had shrouded Chuzhou City for nearly two months was gradually dissipating.

Thanks to the concerted efforts of the people of Chuzhou, in addition to the effective control of the epidemic and no longer spreading, the number of cured patients in various medical care centers is also increasing.

From the plague in half the city to two or three out of ten, this is a unique and rare case in the records of plagues in the past dynasties.

Yingshui Nanwen's family, and a group of Jiangnan voluntary merchants headed by Song Zhouyuan donated money, food and labor to help the government ensure the resettlement and three meals for the victims of the disease.When the anti-epidemic situation has improved and the pressure has been loosened, there is still room to mobilize the old and weak women and children in Chuzhou City to deliver water and food to the thousands of officers and soldiers who are digging canals under the scorching sun, and provide strong support for the canal digging work .

Under the leadership of Qin Chuan, more than a hundred martial arts practitioners from the south of the Yangtze River generously entered Tu and joined the team to build the canal.

Chuzhou, this precarious and precarious city, has finally changed its gloomy appearance after experiencing one after another of random natural disasters and deliberate man-made disasters, showing a flourishing posture. The merchants, the rivers and lakes, and the imperial court... These groups who were not close to each other, and even hated each other, merged together and twisted into a strong and powerful rope, which was invincible and invincible.

Tan Zhou, who was hiding in a dark room out of the sky, knew nothing about all this.

The iron guards guarded the perimeter of the Weizang winery, watching the inside and outside of the winery for twelve hours, guarding against all possible suspicious persons.

At the same time, there are spies and shadow killers from the Ming Palace scattered in the village, and there is no information inside and outside, and the members of the Mu family in the city have no chance to report to Tan Zhou.

On the sixth day, the canals from Zitushui and Kongzihe had been dug to less than one mile from Weizang Winery.

At this time, Tan Zhou was still sitting in the sound transmission array, listening to Mu Dianke and Liang Qing talking nonsense specially prepared for him.

It was noon, but the sky was as faint as the evening scene.

Lead-colored thick clouds squeezed the sky, heavy, as if they would fall down at any moment.

Fang Xian was dressed in bunt and stood on the street with his sword.

However, in the past five or six days, his originally fair skin had been tanned and rough by the hot summer sun, his beard was tangled up, and he was no longer as handsome as before.

Clothes were covered in mud.

Against the background of the dark clouds and the dizzy scene at this time, this scruffy, but persistent nobleman with a sword in his crown and a straight military posture looks like a funny actor.

Liang Qing was calm and used to it, Fang Zheng had no expression on his face.

But Mu Dian couldn't hold back, and the corner of his mouth twitched fiercely.

"Funny?" Fang Xian asked with a stare.

Mu Dianke quickly shook his head, Yuyan tensed up: "The general looks heroic, and has a unique accent."

Fang Xian's face became darker.

He didn't forget that the first time he saw Mu Dianke in Fusifang, she laughed at him as a sissy.

"The canal has basically been dug and built. After nightfall today, the embankment can be broken to release water..."

Since the quarrel was unbearable, Fang Xian chose to ignore Mu Dianke, turned to Liang Qing and asked, "May I ask Master Liang, is the winery well prepared?"

He was humble and respectful, and Liangqing's answer was also polite: "Just wait for the general to give an order."

Liangqing initially surveyed the layout of the Weizang winery, and drew some underground buildings, some places have basements, and some do not.

However, when he circled all the blank spaces without basements, he unexpectedly found that all the circles formed three arches, all facing four or five courtyards.

Liang Qing went to Mu Dian overnight to discuss it, and the two had the same opinion:
It is not that there are no basements built in these blank positions, but they are closed and not connected with other basements.

There is only one reason to close these basements: gunpowder is piled up and hidden in these rooms.

Chuzhou is located in the Jianghuai River, and it is rainy every spring and summer. The gunpowder buried underground is prone to moisture. It is indeed a good way to stack it in a closed stone room.

Tan Zhouding hired a master craftsman who is very good at building organs. The entrance and exit of the stone room are hidden in the wall, forming a seamless one.

In this way, even if the water floods the entire Weizang winery, it may not be able to seep into the tight-fitting stone walls.

In the end, Mu Dianke came up with a countermeasure.

——Use hot melted green alum to melt enough holes in the roof above the stone chamber.

In order to prevent Tan Zhou from inspecting the gunpowder before the action and finding abnormalities, the roof did not melt through, but left a thin layer of rock, and then poured a layer of alum water before releasing the water.

As for the gunpowder buried directly in the soil in the Wujinyuan, in order to avoid the continuous rain in spring and summer, it was first packed into a specially treated iron box, and three layers of thick linoleum were laid on top of the iron box to prevent water from getting in.

As early as when Mu Dianke pretended to be crazy and knocked down all the wine racks in the fourth courtyard, the iron guards used the cover of the loud noise to completely destroy the linoleum layer in the fifth courtyard.

All obstacles have been removed.

All is ready except for the opportunity.
