Lotus Tower is the second best in the world

Chapter 112 Thunder Fire Bomb and the Sand Sea Gang

This kind of iron pill, known as Thunderbolt Fire Bomb in the world, is generally the size of a rosary bead. It is made of a layer of iron on the outside and contains high explosives. It is made by the Pingxia Kingdom's method of making gunpowder from the Central Plains. It is extremely lethal. It’s vulgar and extremely troublesome to deal with.

The one in front of him was the size of a walnut kernel. Once it exploded at close range, with his current physical condition, it would probably explode many bloody holes in his body, so he would not be able to resist it.

As his thoughts turned, he immediately activated half of the Qi used to suppress the poison of Bicha within his body without hesitation. He used the self-enlightened body technique of Youlong Taxue and the whirling step taught by his master at the same time. His body shape became erratic, and in an instant Then he swept out of this alley and disappeared.

"boom!"

After the young man's figure disappeared, the thunderbolt and fire bomb hit the wall and exploded, making a loud rumble.

As a result, half of the courtyard wall of someone's house in the alley suffered an unexpected disaster, and a hole as big as a bowl was blown by the iron pellet.

People who had hid early after hearing the fighting outside the hospital, and a whole family of children hugged each other and shivered after the explosion.

They have seen many fights between Jianghu people. According to Jianghu rules, the grievances between Jianghu people will generally not affect locals like them. As long as they hide in their homes when they hear the shouts of killing, no one will come looking for them. their trouble.

But today, after the fight, there was an explosion, which shocked the people living near the alley.

Listening to the sound, they knew that it was the thunderbolt and fire bomb rumored in the world!A hidden weapon that can be sold for tens of taels on the black market. It is a forbidden weapon that the imperial court and Baichuan Yuan will ban Jianghu people from using next year!
Jianghu people who dare to use it in the city will be hunted down by the court and the righteous sects of Jianghu without exception.

The fact that the other party dared to use such a thing meant that he must be that extremely evil person. It was unclear whether it would harm them or not.

In the alley, the smoke and dust dispersed, and the man in gray clothes holding a pair of swords saw that he had missed a hit unexpectedly, and his face became more and more gloomy.

Then he waved his hand and said coldly:

"Chase!"

"That guy is at the end of his strength, don't let him escape again."

"Yes!" A dozen men in black responded and chased towards the other end of the alley.

……

In another alley, Li Lianhua held her hand against the wall and felt the shadows in front of her overlapping. She felt the world spin, and her thin body couldn't help but stumble.

He heard the footsteps behind him, and he smiled bitterly, thinking to himself that he was probably going to die in the hands of these ungrateful men today.

However, the next moment, he felt a familiar internal force rushing into his body, and at the same time, a pair of big hands rested on his shoulders.

My brother's angry voice sounded in his ears, "You brat, you can get yourself into such trouble even if you just go out to buy charcoal. You are really a troublemaker!"

Li Lianhua became more conscious and did not explain why he was being chased. Instead, he hurriedly and weakly reminded:

"Brother, be careful, they have powerful hidden weapons in their hands, thunder and fire bombs..."

Li Lianpeng, who rushed over after hearing the explosion, was stunned when he heard this.
"Thunderbolt Thunderbolt?"

Li Lianhua nodded, "A hidden weapon made of gunpowder. It is extremely lethal and can defeat those who practice martial arts..."

Li Lianpeng interrupted while instilling inner strength into his body:

"Stop talking yet and use your power to suppress it!"

So Li Lianhua obediently shut up, and under the guidance of Li Lianpeng's internal force, he slowly turned Yangzhou Slow, forcing out bit by bit the poison of Bicha that had penetrated into his internal organs.

At this time, the person who was chasing Li Lianhua appeared at one end of the alley.

At this time, Li Lianpeng put one hand on Li Lianhua's shoulder, and with his other hand free, he put it behind his back and grabbed a handful of brick fragments from the brick wall, holding them in his palm.

Then he looked at the short-built man in gray and said with a smile:
"Hey, brother, you look... quite unique!"

The man in gray saw that he was healing Li Lianhua, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips.
"Another martial arts master with inner strength, and quite handsome."

He immediately shook his head and said, "It's a pity, he just talks too much."

After saying that, he didn't come near, put the two knives together in one hand, and left the other hand free, reaching into his arms.

How could Li Lianpeng allow him to release a hidden weapon that even Li Lianhua couldn't deal with?
He grinned at the man and threw the 'hidden weapon' he had just made in his hand without hesitation.

With the blessing of internal energy, a handful of gravel turned into a hidden weapon with equally powerful power. The man in gray who was about to kill the enemy with thunderbolts and fire bombs changed his face drastically. In the midst of lightning and flint, a subordinate was pulled over from beside him to block him. In front of you.

huh, huh, huh...

Pieces of gravel sank into the man's body and face, snowflakes bloomed, and screams came from his mouth.

Li Lianpeng took advantage of this gap, held Li Lianhua's shoulders, took one step away, and used the Zen steps he learned from Monk Kongji of Hanshui Temple. He turned into an afterimage and fled away.

The man in gray threw the man in his hand who had not breathed much air into the ground and cursed something in his mouth.

There was no further pursuit. Their reckless pursuit in broad daylight probably alerted the local officials.

The time it took to give him his head was one stick of incense, but now two sticks of incense have passed. He killed dozens of his men, but still did not silence the eavesdropper. In addition, he also discovered that the other party had helpers.

Things are in trouble!
The man in gray took a deep breath and was ready to go back to receive his punishment. Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go back!"

One of the men hesitated to speak, "But Cangtou..."

"It will be too late if you don't leave!"

The man in gray clothes shook his head, glanced at the painful men on the ground, and commanded the people beside him expressionlessly:

"Give him a good time."

After that, he turned around and left indifferently.

A person behind him took out an iron pill the size of a rosary bead from his arms, bent down and placed it on his seriously injured companion.

Soon.

"boom!"

-

"It's cruel."

Two alleys away, in a restaurant, there is an open terrace on the second floor.

Li Lianpeng jumped down from the roof, shook his head at Li Lianhua who was slowly finishing his work, and sighed:

"Such a big living person can explode at any time, and those thunderbolts and fire bombs you mentioned are really powerful. If I am not prepared and get hit by the explosion, even I will be seriously injured."

Immediately he sat down opposite Li Lianhua, picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup, and asked:

"What's going on? Tell me quickly."

Li Lianhua had suppressed the Bicha poison in her body at this time, but her face still didn't look very good.

His face turned pale and his lips were slightly blue——

Most of the reason for his behavior was due to being frozen.After the Bicha poison broke out, all the Qi and blood in his body were fighting against the poison, and naturally he could not care about adjusting the temperature on the body surface as the temperature changed. This was why Li Lianpeng guessed that Li Lianhua was afraid of the cold. Here's why.

Li Lianhua shivered and pulled the wine gourd from her waist, raised her head and took two sips of strong wine, and her face returned to a trace of rosy.

"I just went to a blacksmith shop to buy charcoal..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Lianpeng interrupted:

"Wait a minute, you usually buy charcoal from the blacksmith shop?"

Li Lianhua groaned and looked at him doubtfully,

"Any questions?"

"There is a problem, a big problem!"

Li Lianpeng frowned and looked at him seriously,
"Do you know how serious it is for you to go to a place like a blacksmith to buy charcoal?"

Li Lianhua blinked, not knowing why.

Seeing him like this, Li Lianpeng slapped his hand on the table and said, "Do you know that if you go to a place that consumes a lot of charcoal to buy it, it will be more expensive than other places that specialize in selling charcoal?" a lot of?"

"what?"

Li Lianhua was confused. You stayed here and talked seriously for a long time. Just because of this?
Li Lianhua shook his head and explained helplessly: "Brother, I don't know. The charcoal from this blacksmith's shop is much more durable than the charcoal sold by ordinary charcoal men. Moreover, in terms of price, it is not more expensive." How much, if you really think about it, it’s quite cost-effective.”

After hearing what Li Lianhua said, it was Li Lianpeng's turn to be stunned.

After talking for a long time, this person was actually himself?
Thinking of this, Li Lianpeng felt a little heartbroken. No wonder when he went to the charcoal seller to buy it in person, before he could negotiate the price, the other party saw that he bought a large amount, so he lowered the price first and gave him a lot, which made him feel that he made money.

After working on it for a long time, all the charcoal he bought was mixed with water? !

No, this loss is too uncomfortable. Next time he sees the charcoal seller again, he must make the profiteer look good!

After secretly writing down this incident, Li Lianpeng sat up straight and acted as if nothing had happened. He looked at Li Lianhua and said calmly:
"You continue to talk about what you just said."

Li Lianhua smiled nonchalantly and continued to talk about what he saw and heard.

After hearing what he said, Li Lianpeng smacked his lips and said in confusion:

"The government in Yangzhou City has always been so unhelpful? They are doing things in broad daylight, and they don't notice at all?"

Li Lianhua said thoughtfully: "I'm afraid these people have unusual backgrounds. Things like thunderbolts and fire bombs are not available to ordinary people in the world. I am afraid that even those wealthy families who want to buy one for self-defense may not be able to do so." It can be bought.”

"Brother Cai, you have also met. Almost all of them are equipped. Now that I think about it, if my prediction is correct, these people should be from the Shahai Cao Gang along the river. They are in charge of the Qinhuai Water Transport, and there are enough gang members. There are tens of thousands of people with vast magical powers, and they can easily contact the people of Pingxia, but I don’t know why these people came to Yangzhou, here..."

Having said this, Li Lianhua paused, frowned and fell into deep thought. He thought of a possibility.

iron ore.

Judging from the ruthless behavior they showed, even if they did not hesitate to reveal their identity and use thunderbolts and fire bombs in broad daylight, they must have a big agenda.

And what does Yangzhou have? Iron mines.

On the border of Yangzhou, there are three large mines.

One gold and one silver, the two mountain mines were in the hands of the imperial court and were heavily guarded. People from the imperial household department were responsible for the mining.

There was also an iron mine, but the imperial court did not occupy all of it.

Instead, it was mined through the hands of various aristocratic families in Yangzhou - this was the result of a compromise between the imperial court and local forces.

Daxi has not had a war for decades. Therefore, the Daxi royal family is not very enthusiastic about the casting of weapons. The soldiers in the army can use some. What is the use of casting so many weapons? It is a waste of life and money. , On the contrary, matters such as gold and silver mines, which are related to whether the royal family's internal funds are sufficient, must be dealt with in one hand.

I'm afraid that's why some people took the opportunity to seize the opportunity.

Shahai helped him hear something. Although there were many people, they were almost scattered in a pile of sand, but when a big event happened, they would be unusually united.

The Shahai Gang has a long history and existed during the previous dynasty.

When Daxi founded the country, he ordered to rectify the Caobang. However, the imperial court was not good at water warfare and focused on the inland of the Central Plains. The barely formed navy could not do anything to the Caobang whose ancestors had been making a living on boats and in the water for generations.

Having made people anxious, these people sailed through the river into the sea, sailed into the East China Sea, and from time to time transformed into pirates, attacking and plundering the people along the coast. They then blamed the royal family for the crime, saying that the imperial court had done too much. , forcing them to have no way of survival, and they did this because they had no other choice.

The people along the coast were full of complaints. The court had no choice but to compromise. While secretly training the navy, it accepted the existence of the Caobang and handed over the water transportation of Yangzhou, Jinling and other big coastal cities to the Caobang.

The Caobang also knew that they could not push the court too far, and they had been doing their own thing for the past hundred years.

And since King Ji came to Runzhou from the Imperial City, there were rumors that he had business dealings with the Shahai Gang, the largest of the Cao Gangs.

However, the Shahai Gang has always refused to admit that the imperial city is located in the Central Plains and is out of reach. Therefore, although there are rumors, almost no one cares about it.

At this time, it seemed that the imperial court's inaction over the years had fueled King Ji's arrogance and wanted to use the Shahai Gang to control the iron mines in Yangzhou.

Accumulating power and intending to rebel!
Thinking of this, Li Lianhua's face looked a little unhappy.

The world is already in chaos. The Golden Yuan Alliance, Wansheng Dao, and Hongmen in Fuzhou are all restless.

Coupled with the addition of King Runzhou Ji, who has royal blood and has hands and eyes that reach the sky, I don't know how long this world can be stable.

"Alas~" Li Lianhua sighed, looking a little downcast.

Six years ago, Li Xiangyi's vision was still too narrow. He only saw all kinds of injustices in the world and only wanted to help one world.

As everyone knows, the entire Daxi has been rotten to the core due to the inaction of the Daxi royal family.

It’s unfair, more than just a river and lake?
Seeing that he sighed after thinking, Li Lianpeng couldn't help but frowned again, "Why are you sighing?"

Li Lianhua shook her head, covering her abdomen and said:

"I'm a little hungry. Let's ask the waiter to serve some food. Oh, by the way, where are Miss Su and the others?"

Li Lianhua heard him say that he was hungry. In fact, he also felt a little empty in his stomach. He was so hungry that he felt sour and sour. Hearing this, he said:
"There are two kinds of base ingredients for making hot pot ingredients. I asked them to pick them up from Li's Mansion."

As he said that, he looked up at the sky and saw a bright sun hanging in the middle of the sky. He sighed:

"It's already noon."

He glared at Li Lianhua and said, "It's all your fault that I can't have hot pot for lunch."

Li Lianhua spread her hands and smiled bitterly, he didn't want to either.

At this time, I don’t know if those who are chasing and killing have withdrawn their hands. There has been such a big movement, but the government has not sent anyone out. It can be seen that this Yangzhou city looks prosperous on the surface, but in fact, the order is probably very low. Already on the verge of collapse.

Li Lianpeng was a little worried about Su Xiaoyong. After telling Li Lianhua, he jumped from the second floor with a slight jump.

Before eating, Xiaoyong must be brought over first, so that he can feel at ease.
