Water Margin people

Chapter 311

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a crackling sound, and it seemed that fireworks exploded on the ground in the distance, instantly drowning out Lu Zhishen's loud voice.

"Who is setting off the fireworks here?"

Sun Lei was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he saw fireworks when he came to this world. Although there were no colorful colors and they were on the ground, the sparks that rose were indeed fireworks.

Unlike Sun Lei, Lu Zhishen and Shi Qian were on alert and kept looking around. They hadn't heard much of the explosion.

Zhang San and Li Si were even more unbearable. They were so frightened that they hid behind Lu Zhishen and Sun Lei, as if seeing a ghost.

"Why would someone set off fireworks in that direction?"

Sun Lei looked at the darkness that had subsided. They had already left the inner city. The outer city was relatively barren, and most of it was wasteland.

"Could it be that Jiazhanku is experimenting with artillery?"

Lu Zhishen realized that he had been in the Western Army, been on the front line, and seen artillery, because it happened many years ago, so he suddenly didn't think of it just now.

"A warehouse?"

Sun Lei is very unfamiliar with this term.

"The Jiazhan warehouse is the warehouse where the army's armor and equipment are manufactured and stored. The Jiazhan warehouse is divided into several bureaus, including the armor bureau, the knife and gun bureau, the shield bureau, the gunpowder bureau, and the firearms bureau."

Lu Zhishen introduced.

"However, the imperial court is strict with ordnance management, and the Jiazhan warehouse is the top priority. How could it be possible to allow people to set off artillery nearby?"

Lu Zhishen frowned and said, firearms have always been a secret weapon in the military, powerful and extremely dangerous. Fireworks have always been prohibited by the Gunpowder Bureau and the Firearms Bureau.

"Let's go and have a look!"

Sun Lei became interested. Firearms are an incredible thing. If you can get them and carry them forward, let alone Khitan, Jurchen, and Mongols, they are all trivial. With firearms, the whole world can fight!

"Great Sage, there is the Jiazhan Library in front of it, and ordinary people can't get close to it."

Li Si quickly said that the vicinity of Jiazhan Library is heavily guarded, even if he enters by mistake, he will be punished.

"I didn't say to enter, I just went to take a look around, and we took it as being attracted to watch the fun."

Sun Lei really didn't care, since he saw it, there was no reason to ignore it.

Sun Lei walked forward with a few people, and suddenly a black shadow rushed out, as if he was running for his life in a hurry.

"who?"

Shi Qian stood in front of him and stopped the black shadow of the man.

"Everyone, help me deal with the people behind me, please!"

A man whose body was covered with dust and dirt, his face was full of smoky marks, and his hair was like an explosion looked at Sun Lei and the others and begged.

"Go and hide in the grass over there, Sajia will help you deal with it."

Lu Zhishen watched a group of soldiers and horses chasing him from a distance, and his heart of drawing swords to help when he saw the road was uneven became restless again.

"Thank you!"

The man jumped directly into the weeds next to him.

"Who are you?"

A pair of officers and soldiers came over with torches, and when they saw Sun Lei and the others, they immediately held down the weapons at their waists and questioned them defensively.

"We were passing by. We saw that there was water here, and we were going to help."

Sun Lei spoke first, Lu Zhishen couldn't let Lu Zhishen say this kind of thing, this guy is too straightforward to tell a lie, he probably would give up in just a few words, and then punch him.This is the government army in front of us, and it is not difficult to kill them, but the hundreds of thousands of government troops in Tokyo, if you stab a hornet's nest, you will not be able to survive.

"It's nothing to do with you, Jiazhan is an important place for treasury, and idlers are not allowed to come near!"

Those who took the lead looked relaxed, looked at Sun Lei and the others and shouted.

"Did you see a man running past?"

Du asked again.

"Yes, that person was in a hurry, looked suspicious, and went over there!"

Sun Lei pointed in the direction of the inner city and said.

"Jiazhanku emphatically, leave quickly!"

Nadu said something before leading the people to the inner city.

"Then Ling Zhen dared to detonate gunpowder near the Jiazhan warehouse, he must be captured and severely punished!"

They all shouted at their soldiers.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Seeing that his pursuers had left, Ling Zhen came out of the grass and thanked Sun Lei and the others.

"You are Ling Zhen? Thunderbolt Ling Zhen?"

Sun Lei looked at the guy in front of him who looked like he had crawled out of a coal mine and asked, is this Ling Zhen, the first gunner of the Water Margin?
"This guy knows me? Hey, I'm really indecent like this!"

Ling Zhen looked at Sun Lei unexpectedly, but then realized that he was in a mess, so he smiled and said.

"In order to thank you for your help, I invite you to have a drink."

Ling Zhen looked at Sun Lei and the others with a smile and said, he was all dirty, but when he smiled, his teeth were very white.

"Okay, just wanted a drink."

Sun Lei agreed with a smile.

Everyone came to a small tile in the outer city. Ling Zhen went to the back of the hotel to wash up. Although his clothes were still dirty, his face was washed clean. It turned out that Ling Zhen was only a young man in his 20s.

"Are you going to blow up the Jiazhan warehouse? I don't think you have such guts!"

Lu Zhishen looked at Ling Zhen and said, the explosion just now was quite powerful, and the fireworks from the gunpowder explosion were several feet high.

"This master has misunderstood. I am the deputy gunner of the Jiazhan warehouse in Tokyo. Today I was just testing gunpowder outside the Jiazhan warehouse. I accidentally put too much powder, which caused the explosion."

Ling Zhen said with a wry smile.

"Then you are really daring to experiment with gunpowder outside the Jiazhan Warehouse."

Lu Zhishen suddenly realized that he had saved a deputy envoy who had caused trouble.

"The explosion just now was not a joke. Didn't you put a little too much medicine?"

Sun Lei looked at Ling Zhen and asked, the explosion just now was definitely not caused by putting a little more medicine.

"This brother laughed. That is a new type of gunpowder. I didn't expect it to be so powerful. It's just a pack. To tell the truth, brothers, I was too close at the time, and the air wave directly lifted me out and fell to the side That’s why it’s so embarrassing.”

Ling Zhen said with an embarrassed smile.

"You are really a lunatic. Gunpowder is extremely dangerous. You dare to get so close to experiment with new gunpowder. Your life is too long."

Sun Lei was speechless for a while, he was still fine after being blown away, Ling Zhen was really lucky.

"This brother knows gunpowder? I was also fascinated. I didn't think about it for a while. After the configuration was completed, I was supposed to go to the city to test it tomorrow, but I couldn't wait, so I tried it by the pool outside the Jiazhan warehouse. gone."

Ling Zhen said with a smile.

When these words came out, everyone opened their mouths in surprise. They thought Ling Zhen was bold enough, but they didn't expect this guy to be crazy.

"Why does the Sa family feel that they saved the wrong person?"

Lu Zhishen was rarely speechless, if he were in charge of the Jiazhan Treasury, it would be a light sentence to beat Ling Zhen with two hundred army sticks.

"Don't look at me like that, it's actually not that dangerous. I only have a pack of gunpowder."

Seeing the different expressions on everyone's faces, Ling Zhen said with a smile.

"Then you're not afraid of ordering Jiazhanku? When the time comes, Tokyo will be blown up."

Sun Lei suddenly felt that he was also in danger just now, and he almost became a fish in the pond, and he was the most innocent one. If the gunpowder magazine of Jiazhan Library was fired, his pedestrians might die.
