Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 104

Speeding up the horse, two days later, Li Changfeng finally met Zhang Haihui and others at the border between Xiazhou and Shangzhou under the personal protection of Wang Tiezhu.

Zhang Haihui looked ashamed, and when he saw Li Changfeng, he knelt down and worshiped: "Your Highness, this subordinate has a duty to entrust, and he deserves death!"

First he betrayed Li Changfeng, and now he caused the gunpowder to be stolen. Zhang Haihui felt extremely ashamed and wished he could die to apologize.

Li Changfeng helped him a bit, then frowned slightly and said, "It's alright, alright, don't just kneel down, my prince doesn't care about that."

As he spoke, he looked at the people behind Zhang Haihui, and saw that everyone was full of energy and energy, and there was no injury on their bodies, which made him feel relieved a lot.

Of course, he was more concerned with gunpowder.

Seeing Liang Dafu, the dean of the scientific research institute who looked a little tired in the crowd, Li Changfeng stepped forward and asked, "Is the gunpowder all right?"

Liang Dafu assured: "Your Highness, don't worry, the remaining gunpowder is well preserved and there is no problem!"

Hearing this, Li Changfeng was completely relieved, and then turned his eyes to Zhang Haihui, who was still full of guilt, and said, "Can you find out who did it?"

Zhang Haihui nodded, and said solemnly: "We desperately caught one, and under torture, we learned that the person who came to rob the gunpowder was a member of the Fengtian Society!"

"It really is Fengtianhui!"

Li Changfeng's expression was not surprised at all, as if he had expected it.

Ever since the gunpowder was stolen, Zhang Haihui has always felt guilty and wanted to make amends, but before that he had to protect the remaining gunpowder and dared not leave. Now when His Highness arrived, there was Wang Tiezhu, a unparalleled big guy, there, so Quickly said: "Your Highness, ask your subordinates to lead a team to hunt down those bastards and bring back the gunpowder!"

Beside them, a group of Thunder Riders looked stern, revealing a strong killing intent, and wanted to follow Zhang Haihui to chase back the gunpowder.

As an elite unit under His Royal Highness, it is a shame that gunpowder was stolen under their protection.

Li Changfeng shook his head, not at all worried, but smiled lightly: "No need, it would be better if those thieves from Fengtian Society stole the gunpowder. But what I'm more worried about is that they will die before they escape to the secret stronghold." .”

Zhang Haihui was very puzzled: "Your Highness, why is it better for them to steal it?"

Li Changfeng smiled lightly: "Because from the very beginning, I personally set up the trap and let them steal it. People from the Fengtian Society repeatedly troubled the prince, but unfortunately they hid deep enough. I simply gave them a gift, but I didn't expect them to be fooled."

Zhang Haihui and the others were shocked. From the very beginning, His Highness actually assumed that the Fengtian Society would steal gunpowder?

What a clever plan this is.

However, why does His Highness think that the Fengtian Society will steal gunpowder, and it is related to the secrets of gunpowder, which few people in the world know, especially when they know that they are transporting gunpowder.

This is kind of weird.

For this, Li Changfeng didn't explain much. It can't be said that he deliberately revealed it to a little girl who thought she was hiding it deeply.

Zhang Haihui didn't continue to ask, but instead asked why people from the Fengtian Society would die soon.

Only Liang Dafu looked at the Ninth Prince and sighed in his heart. His Highness is about to start cheating people again. The Fengtian Society is really pitiful. They just don’t know if they can successfully bring the gunpowder back to the Fengtian Society’s hidden stronghold, otherwise they may send a group of people to heaven Woolen cloth.

Li Changfeng didn't explain in detail, and said flatly: "You will know in two days, keep going."

After finishing speaking, Li Changfeng told everyone to keep the gunpowder carefully, and then continued to move towards the place where Baixie Valley in Shangzhou was located.

At the same time, a caravan was pulling three carriages and galloping quickly on the official road to the capital, seemingly in a hurry.

There are too many such caravans on the official road, and they have not attracted anyone's attention.

However, the strange thing is that the caravan still didn't intend to stop after nightfall.

These people were none other than members of the Fengtian Society who had robbed the gunpowder and went to the capital disguised as merchants to deliver gunpowder to the Fengtian Society.

Lao Ma is a handyman at the official road post station. After the guests are settled at night, he makes a pot of tea and sits under the big tree at the entrance of the post station to enjoy the shade.

Because it was so hot that it was difficult to fall asleep, many merchants of the post station also sat at the door drinking tea and chatting, there were about dozens of people.

At this moment, seeing a group of merchants approaching from a distance, the old horse was a little surprised and said: "They are still on their way at such a late hour. These merchants are also working hard to make money."

Just muttering something, suddenly there was a loud "bang" sound like a landslide.

In an instant, the flames soared into the sky, illuminating the night sky, and at the same time, there was a loud noise like thunder, and the ground under their feet trembled.

pat!

The tea cup in the old horse's hand fell to the ground in an instant, and he stood up in shock, his eyes widened, and his face was full of horror.

"This... what is this!?"

The other merchants were also shocked out of their wits, and quickly stood up, looking in the direction of the explosion, their faces pale.

"Sky's Wrath! This is Heaven's Wrath!"

The old horse came back to his senses, knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed to the sky, his eyes were full of awe.

At this time, the sky is clear, the moon hangs high in the sky, the stars and the sea are clearly visible, and it is completely sunny.

In such weather, there is no possibility of thunder.

This huge thunder-like explosion was a miracle in everyone's eyes. Immediately, someone followed the old horse and knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to the sky.

"Miracle, this is a miracle!"

"Only God can have such great power!"

"The gods have appeared, the gods have appeared!"

The crowd exclaimed again and again, devoutly paying homage.

Some bold merchants walked towards the center of the explosion after paying homage, wanting to pay their respects to the miracle.

As a result, when they walked forward, they saw an extremely tragic scene, which made their scalps numb and their faces pale as paper.

Some people turned their heads and vomited on the spot, and some even collapsed on the ground in fright, trembling all over, and all the yellow and white things flowed out.

I saw a large pit on the ground about several feet square, surrounded by charred limbs, broken arms and pieces of flesh and blood, which was extremely tragic.

Immediately, someone fell to the ground and worshiped, screaming in panic.

"This is really the wrath of the sky and the punishment of the gods!"

"Oh my god, the legend about being struck by lightning turned out to be true!"

"I don't know what these people did to make God's punishment come!"

Many people lived around the post station, and they were all alarmed by the loud noise. After inquiring about the situation, they were also horrified.

The next day, the news of the thunder from the wrath of the sky spread throughout Xiazhou, and everyone was discussing it and were horrified.

Moreover, as word of mouth spread among merchants at the post station, this matter spread to the surrounding Shangzhou and other states.

That afternoon, Li Changfeng and his party heard the news on the road, and Zhang Haihui made a guess after careful inquiry.

After reporting the matter to Li Changfeng, Zhang Haihui asked in confusion: "According to the merchant's description, the gunpowder must have exploded, but why? Could it be that they have nothing to do with lighting gunpowder? They shouldn't be!"

In this regard, Li Changfeng was extremely calm, and said with a faint smile: "That's why I don't let you chase them down, because it's unnecessary, and from the moment they get the gunpowder, the ending is already doomed. "

Hearing this, Zhang Haihui was taken aback for a moment, and became even more puzzled: "Your Highness, why?"

Seeing Li Changfeng drinking tea without any explanation, Liang Dafu beside him had no choice but to say: "As expected, it should be detonated by static electricity."

"Static electricity? What is this? Very quiet lightning?"

Seeing Zhang Haihui's bewildered expression, Liang Dafu didn't want to explain to such a stupid person, because it would be a waste of words, but Zhang Haihui was also from Baishi City, so he had to continue: "Your Highness told me this. There is static electricity, this kind of thing is invisible and intangible, and it needs a certain amount of friction to produce it. Especially in winter, it is easy to produce..."

After explaining the principle of static electricity, Liang Dafu said: "Because of the special reason of static electricity, if it comes into contact with gunpowder, it is easy to ignite the gunpowder, especially in a confined space, if the power of gunpowder is not released, it is easy to explode violently, just like Cannonballs are average. Therefore, gunpowder needs to be stored in a special way, otherwise it will be very dangerous, which is why I came here with you this time..."

Although Liang Dafu had tried his best to explain it, Zhang Haihui still listened in a daze, unable to understand this kind of basic physics knowledge for Li Changfeng.

But this did not prevent him from understanding that all of this was taught by Li Changfeng, and everything was in Li Changfeng's calculations.

Zhang Haihui looked at Li Changfeng, as if seeing a god, full of awe.

How could ordinary people know such a miraculous thing?
In this regard, Li Changfeng was quite helpless.

These most common knowledge of physics are like miracles to people in this world.

Basic education has a long way to go.

It's a pity that the gunpowder was not transported to the secret stronghold by the thieves of the Fengtian Society before it exploded, otherwise a group of people would have been sent away directly.

Because he was concerned about the disaster in Shangzhou, Li Changfeng didn't explain too much, so everyone hurried on their way.

As it went deeper into the hinterland of Shangzhou, the rain became heavier and the road became more and more difficult to walk, and there was water in all the low-lying places.

At the same time, there are more and more refugees on the road, all of them are disheveled and disheveled.

When everyone came to Gufang County, the place where the flood was the worst, even Li Changfeng, who had been well-informed in two generations, looked extremely dignified.

Almost the entire Gufang County was submerged by floods, not to mention the inundation of countless fertile fields, even houses in towns and villages. A large number of victims who had escaped from the disaster gathered in the county town, crowded with people, and the number was astonishing.

All of these victims were pale and emaciated, with no hope in their eyes, only fear and numbness.

Also because the city of Gufang County was built on a relatively high ground, it was not submerged, but if it continues, Gufang County may be flooded.

Urgent need for flood relief!
