After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 311 Going Home
Everyone looked at her nervously, as if they were afraid that something might happen at the last minute.

If it is delayed for a few more days, not to mention Zhou Heng, the entire Jinzhou Mansion may not be able to bear it.

Even Zhou Heng's throat rolled up and his eyes became nervous, "What happened?"

Fang Ruyu saw everyone in the room looking at her as if they were facing an enemy, and she couldn't help but said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, maybe it rained some time ago, and the gunpowder is a little damp, and it smells wrong."

The people below immediately panicked, "What can we do?"

Zhou Heng saw that Fang Ruyu's face was sparse and normal, so he knew that it was not a big deal for the gunpowder to get damp, "Didn't you get a lot of sacks of flour before and put them in the house?"

"Yes, finely ground flour can absorb moisture in the air and prevent the gunpowder from getting damp. Maybe the air was too humid some time ago, and the flour didn't seem to have much effect."

"Is the problem serious?"

"It's not a big problem." Fang Ruyu smiled and shook her head, "It's just that we still have to find a way, otherwise it will take several days to wait for it to dry naturally."

As soon as they heard that time would be lost, everyone immediately became anxious.

"Miss Fang, we can't wait, we can't wait! We can wait, but the soldiers at the front can't wait!"

"We have been waiting for so long. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid Jiang Yongkang will come to Qiongzhou Mansion!"

"That's right, Miss Fang, it's all over now. All that's left is assembly. You can think of a solution."

Fang Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "There are some ways. This flour has the function of absorbing moisture from the air, but if the flour is all tied up in a sack, the effect may not be strong. I vaguely heard my father say before that you can spread the flour. , and then use the fire stick to light it. If the fire stick goes out, it means that there is still moisture in the air. If the fire stick can burn, then the moisture in the gunpowder should also be sucked out. "

When Fang Ruyu said this, there was an unnoticeable tremor in her voice.

She looked around, expecting someone to question what she said, but no one objected. It could even be said that everyone was urging her.

"Didn't it say that gunpowder cannot touch open flames?"

"Where is the open flame? Just a fire stick, just stay away from the gunpowder."

"As expected of Miss Fang, why don't we give it a try quickly! Don't waste your time!"

"It's just that the flour is scattered everywhere, which is unsightly. Why don't you ask Your Highness to move outside the warehouse?"

Zhou Heng was very anxious, "Don't worry about me, send someone to spread all the flour."

Fang Ruyu tried to make her voice sound calm, "Yes, it's best to throw it away and fill the whole room with flour so that it can be absorbed faster. As long as the gunpowder is okay, the firearm will be ready in no time."

Immediately, someone couldn't wait to enter the warehouse.

Under the backdrop of Fang Ruyu's torch, a dozen soldiers with knives walked into the room, and then followed her instructions, using their bayonets to rub hard into the sacks containing flour in the corner.

Someone reminded: "Follow Miss Fang's instructions and spread the flour!"

In an instant, the flour scattered throughout the room like a goddess scattering flowers.

After saying that, Fang Ruyu looked around again and asked, "Who brought the fire seal?"

A soldier immediately volunteered, "Yes!"

"Okay, when the flour is sprinkled all over the room, you can light a fire. Remember to stay away from the gunpowder." Fang Ruyu instructed, her heart was beating so fast that she almost vomited out, but she held it back, and then she slowly Walking towards Zhou Heng, his voice was tight and he said, "Your Highness, let's wait outside the warehouse door."

Zhou Heng has always liked to be clean, so naturally he didn't want to be covered in flour, so he could only take the officials out.

Someone immediately closed the warehouse door, leaving only the soldier who lit the fire and the person who spread the flour.

Everyone stood at the door waiting anxiously.

Zhou Heng refused to leave. He stared at the scene in the room intently, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Fang Ruyu beside him turning around and leaving.

"Your Highness, I see that the huozhezi in the soldier's hand seems a little wet, and I'm afraid he won't be able to light it. There are huozhezi on the carriage, I'll go get some."

Zhou Heng didn't even look at her, and didn't even notice that her voice was trembling slightly. He just waved his hand impatiently, "Go quickly."

Fang Ruyu turned around and left.

She walked neither hastily nor slowly, but her mind went blank, counting the time in her mind until her legs gradually became weak and painful, and she seemed unable to see anything in front of her eyes.

She was so nervous that the clothes on her back were all wet with sweat.

She couldn't stop.

She still wants to live well.

She wants to go home.

Go back to that home in Jinzhou Prefecture.

She doesn't want to die here!
Fang Ruyu's steps were so fast that she almost staggered. The soldiers outside the fortress were a little confused when they saw her coming out alone, but no one dared to stop her.

Fang Ruyu's face was pale, she stumbled as she walked, and almost fell down several times, but she bit her lower lip and pinched her hand until her nails were embedded in her skin. The pain made her wake up——

Then she started running.

After running some distance away from the fortress where Qiongzhou's military supplies were placed, suddenly, the sky and the earth roared, and only the continuous "bang bang bang" explosions were heard. The whole mountain was shaking, and Fang Ruyu finally couldn't hold it any longer. , fell directly to the ground.

She turned to look.

I saw a huge plume of blue smoke rising in the direction of the warehouse, followed by a crackling explosion, and flames leaping into the sky. Suddenly, there was a chaotic mess of drums, screams, footsteps, and horse hooves!
The soldiers on the lookout from high places beat their drums heavily and shouted: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The sound travels far!

The footsteps of countless people moved, and everyone came towards the direction of the fortress.

Piles of flour cannot be ignited by an open flame, but flour floating in the air combines with oxygen and explodes when exposed to an open flame.

This is physics at the intermediate level for literacy classes.

She has taught students time and time again, and the students have raised their heads and questioned: Can ground flour really burn?
Now she proves——

Fang Ruyu's breasts kept rising and falling,

She spat it out with a "wow" sound.

She did it.

She really killed her enemy!

Zhou Heng is just outside the warehouse. These hundreds of kilograms of gunpowder are enough to destroy a city, let alone a mortal body like Zhou Heng!
He must be dead!
Totally dead!

Don't harm her and her family again!
I can no longer look at her falsely and say those disgusting sweet words to her!

He can no longer compete with Xu Zhenying for the world!

From now on, whether it is Fang Xun, Fang Ningmo, or she, Fang Ruyu, the future will be bright!
Fang Ruyu wanted to laugh loudly, but her throat seemed to be stuck and she couldn't make a sound——

She could only cry.

Her tears were streaming down her face. She didn't know whether she was feeling wronged or happy, but the only thing she could be sure of was that she had no regrets!
She is as beautiful as jade and will never regret it!
What to do next?

Fang Ruyu's mind went blank.

After thinking for a moment, she came back to her senses. There was no time to be sad, she had to leave here as soon as possible!

The person Xu Zhenying sent to take care of her was still some distance away. Now, she needed to get out of Qiongzhou on her own and move towards her bright future!

Fang Ruyu wanted to stand up, but her legs felt like they were filled with lead and she couldn't lift them up at all!

She forced herself to hold the ground with her arms, her thin body supported by her will to go home. She was squirming on the ground like a maggot, with only one thought in her mind.

Come back home.

Return to Jinzhou Mansion.

Soon, a man came on horseback with a clear voice. Fang Ruyu turned around and saw General Ma approaching with a gun under the sun. The man was very fast, and with one dive, he was about to pierce her head——

Fang Ruyu's face looked deathly gray. It's over, this General Ma is the confidant of Her Royal Highness the Princess. I followed the princess to Jinzhou Mansion before.

She smiled miserably.

It seems that God is not on her side this time.

But that’s fine.

Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the mountains, why should they return their bodies wrapped in horse leather——

Fang Ruyu raised her head and decided to die, but unexpectedly she heard a chuckle: "Miss Fang, why don't you leave quickly? If you don't leave, His Highness Prince Ming's people will catch up with you!"

Fang Ruyu opened her eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked at him with blurred eyes.

"Miss Fang, His Highness asked me to pick you up. People from Jinzhou Mansion are already waiting for us outside the city. We must leave this place quickly!"

Only then did Fang Ruyu notice that he was carrying a baggage on his back. She couldn't help but be shocked: "Are you from His Highness Prince Zhao? When...when did you defect to Jinzhou Mansion?"

"This is not the place to talk. Miss Fang just made such a loud noise in the camp. Soon the whole city of Qiongzhou will be under martial law, and we will really not be able to get out by then!"

Fang Ruyu's fear suddenly turned into surprise.

The so-called survival comes from desperate situations, which is why I am overjoyed.

General Ma stretched out his hand and lifted her up hard. Fang Ruyu used the force to get on the horse. The two of them rode together. Then they put aside the movement behind them and rode away!

Almost at the same time, the entire Junshan camp was alarmed.

Hundreds of kilograms of gunpowder exploded at the same time, seeming to blow up the entire mountain. Everyone felt the ground shaking. Some people subconsciously thought it was an earthquake and kept shouting: "Earth Dragon" Turn over, everyone hide quickly!”

Someone else saw the blue smoke of the flames flying into the sky, and shouted: "It's burning, it's burning!!"

There are also warning sounds of "enemy attack".

In an instant, the entire Junshan camp was in chaos.

The two of them rode upstream on horseback, encountering almost no resistance the whole way. Everyone was running, fleeing, and screaming. The two of them were in a panic and did not attract any attention.

However, when running out of the camp, the soldier guarding the gate asked a few questions, and General Ma roared: "Get out of the way! There was an explosion in the camp, and Prince Ming was still inside. His life or death was uncertain. Her Royal Highness the Princess ordered me to leave the city quickly." Go and ask Dr. Lu to come. How long will it take for you to have your heads chopped off?"

When the soldiers heard that His Highness Prince Ming had made a mistake, they were so frightened that they withdrew the roadblock without even asking, allowing them to gallop away on horseback.

After they had been gone for quite a while, one of the clever soldiers came to his senses and said, "That's not right. The person behind General Ma must be Miss Fang, right? Why do we have to bring Miss Fang with us when we ask for a doctor?"

What's more, who in the entire Junshan camp doesn't know the relationship between Miss Fang and Prince Ming?
But now that General Ma and Miss Fang are riding together, it feels weird no matter how you look at them.

"Why do you care so much? But just now, the earth was shaking. What happened?"

How could a few soldiers pay attention to Fang Ruyu and General Ma.

The explosion in the camp's warehouse fortress just now was enough to mess up everyone's minds.

The wind howled, and Fang Ruyu was shaken so hard that she almost vomited out.

Every nerve in her body was tense. Even though there was a strange man in front of her, her will to survive defeated everything. She only hugged General Ma's waist tightly, for fear that she would fall off the horse!
They ran wildly all the way——

Until we left Junshan Camp, passed through the busy city, passed through the crowds, and stepped directly onto the nearest road into Luzhou.

In the mountains and forests, only their horses were running wildly.

Fang Ruyu thought about it in her mind, recalling the scenes. Almost all the civil and military officials in Qiongzhou who were standing outside the warehouse just now were Zhou Heng's confidants. These people were so close to the gunpowder. Once the flour burned, a fire would inevitably form in the closed room. , followed by gunpowder.

Fang Ruyu was very convinced.

This time, the officials who supported Zhou Heng in Qiongzhou could be said to have been completely wiped out——

There is no longer any resistance to Jinzhou Prefecture's westward advance!
They were blocked when they were leaving the city. Xie Deshu, the general who defended the city of Qiongzhou Prefecture, did not go to the Junshan Camp because he was on duty today. From a distance, he saw General Ma and Fang Ruyu running upstream, naturally. Just a little doubtful.

Coupled with the huge movement in the mountains today, people in the city were panicking. With his keenness and directness from many years of fighting, he naturally sensed that there would be big changes in Qiongzhou today.

So he first sent people to stabilize the people in the city, then sent people to the Junshan camp to inquire about the situation, and finally selected a group of elite soldiers and generals to personally guard the city gate.

"General Ma!"

From a distance, he ordered the two men to stop their horses. General Ma's face changed slightly and he said to Fang Ruyu behind him: "The situation may not be good. General Xie is famous for being cautious. We are afraid that we will be questioned." For a moment. Just be silent and I will answer.”

Fang Ruyu's hands were trembling slightly, and her face was bloodless, but for some reason, getting closer and closer to Luzhou made her feel infinite courage.

Her eyes became more determined, "Okay."

"General Ma..." General Xie tilted his head, pretending that he had just seen Fang Ruyu, and then smiled, "Miss Fang. What are you two going to do?"

General Ma immediately made an anxious look on his face: "General Xie, get out of the way quickly, something happened at the Junshan Camp! The gunpowder spontaneously ignited for some reason, and the warehouse burned down, and His Highness Prince Ming was also injured! Your Highness the Princess ordered Miss Fang and I are going to find Dr. Zhao to treat Prince Ming’s injury, don’t waste time!”

Hearing that His Highness Prince Ming was injured, Xie Deshu became very nervous, "No wonder the ground was shaking just now. I thought it was an earthquake in Qiongzhou. It turned out that something happened in the camp. Where are the military doctors?!"

Although Xie Deshu was nervous, he thought quickly, "There are so many military doctors in the camp, why don't you let the military doctors treat His Highness' injuries first? Why do you need to go so far away?"

Fang Ruyu and the others left Junshan Camp and headed straight to Guangzhou. Now they can reach Luzhou after leaving Guangzhou.

"In the situation just now, the camp was in chaos, and the military doctors didn't know where they were hiding. Even if there are military doctors, Doctor Zhao is the master of treating trauma. His apprentice said that he went to the Gwangju front line, and we must find him immediately now he!"

Suddenly, Fang Ruyu's cold voice was heard, "General Xie, do you want His Highness Prince Ming to die? Or do you suspect that General Ma and I are spies from Jinzhou Prefecture?"

Xie Deshu smiled reluctantly, "How dare you? Who doesn't know that Miss Fang works hard day and night for firearms and is a meritorious official of our Qiongzhou Prefecture."

"Then you suspect that General Ma and I have eloped?"

Xie Deshu's expression changed slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at the pale woman. She looked delicate, but her eyes were sharper than ever before.

Thinking of His Highness Prince Ming's extraordinary regard for this woman, and the fact that there was an engagement between the two, even though Xie Deshu felt that the scene of General Ma and Fang Ruyu together was a bit weird, he could only suppress it.

"What did Miss Fang say? There was such a big commotion on the mountain today. I could hear the commotion from two hundred miles away. At this critical moment, everyone who comes in and out has to be questioned. I am just doing things according to the rules. Please ask Fang Don't blame me, miss." Xie Deshu could only surrender and raised his hand, "Clean the road and let us go!"

But before he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred!

I heard the sudden sound of war drums and the sound of trumpets on the city wall. Some soldiers were frightened and kept waving their flags in warning, shouting loudly, "The enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking! The people from Luzhou are coming!"

"What?!" Xie Shude yelled, "Who's calling!?"

"Jiang Yongkang's people are calling! They are all over the mountains and plains! There are also firearms!"

At the mention of firearms, everyone's expressions changed, and the fear of being dominated by firearms struck their hearts again. The soldiers of Qiongzhou Prefecture were once brave and good at fighting, but now they are beaten by the people of Jinzhou Prefecture and they don't know why. beated.

Xie Deshu's face changed even more, "How could the people from Jinzhou Prefecture come here?! Where is Hongzhou? Isn't Hongzhou guarded by Old Hu! Could it be that the people from Jinzhou Prefecture also captured Hongzhou?" Why didn’t you see the battle report?”

But there was no one to answer him.

Everyone was frightened by the menacing Jinzhou soldiers.

Suddenly, they rushed out from nowhere, rushing towards the city gate like a tide. There was the sound of horse hooves, screams, and drums in all directions.

How could Xie Deshu control Fang Ruyu and the others?

Fang Ruyu was also shocked. She never expected that Xu Zhenying would attack the city at this moment. She had just killed Zhou Heng with her front foot, and Xu Zhenying's men came in with her back foot. It was obvious that General Ma was not the only one in Qiongzhou Mansion!
How many people in Qiongzhou Prefecture voted for Xu Zhenying?

Fang Ruyu thought with fear. She thought about the faces of all the civil and military officials who came earlier. She immediately realized that several masters were not among them! The internal affairs officer in charge of military supplies and food supplies is not here either!
But right now, that's not the point.

The horse under his crotch was neighing uneasily. Faced with this sudden change in the situation, Fang Ruyu was a little anxious: "General Ma, people from Jinzhou Prefecture are coming to kill us. If we rush over now, we will only be mistakenly killed as people from Qiongzhou!"

"It doesn't matter, His Highness has already thought of it!" General Ma took off the baggage in front of him and shook out two pieces of red silk. "His Highness said that if we ran into the army, we would put this red silk around our necks! Such Jinzhou Prefecture's The soldiers know we are our own!"

Fang Ruyu was shocked. She didn't expect that Xu Zhenying had even prepared this.

"Miss Fang, hold on tight! Let's break out of the encirclement now!"
