Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 728
Chapter 733
In fact they have been found.

In order to protect Ran Min's safety, the "deaf and dumb" hardly spared any place where there might be unsafe factors.A group of people like them were wandering on the embankment at this time, naturally they would not be conspicuous, but when they took out their shovels and dug holes on the embankment, they caught the attention of the "deaf and dumb" members.

Although the Chinese are buried in the ground, no one has ever buried their relatives on the river embankment. This abnormal phenomenon made the "deaf and dumb" pay attention to it, and sent a signal. Within a quarter of an hour, several scout cavalrymen also arrived on site.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?"

The leading leader said: "We've been discovered, scattered and fled, hurry up!"

It's a pity that they are not cavalry. Surrounded by scouts from the state of Wei and the "deaf and dumb", how can they break out easily, unless they have the same force as Murong Chui, Deng Qiang, Deng Xia, and Zhou Chu.

After a fierce battle, four of the seven suspects were killed on the spot. One of them was shot by an arrow and fell into the Yellow River Hanoi. His life and death were unknown, and the other two were seriously injured and captured.

However, after opening the coffin, these scouts and the "deaf and dumb" immediately realized that something was wrong. The problem was so serious that the sky might collapse.

There was no corpse in the coffin at all, but gunpowder wrapped in wax was piled up, and the equivalent was quite a lot, a full five or six hundred catties.

"Heavenly deaf and dumb" reported the news to Zhang Ping at that time.

Zhang Ping didn't dare to be careless, and went to the scene to check it himself.

But when he arrived at the scene, Zhang Ping discovered another problem.

The two seriously injured prisoners committed suicide by taking poison, which was the same as the poison prepared by members of the "Deaf and Dumb" to avoid leaking secrets.

Of course, these unidentified people are not "deaf and dumb", there is only one possibility in the world who possess this secret poison, and that is the "deaf and dumb" students, the Sky Eye that Jing Zhan helped Ran Ming establish.

There is another piece of evidence that points directly to the Eye of Heaven.

That is the weapon of these people. The weapons they use include the Hidden Arrow and the Lancet.

The so-called lancet is actually a reduced version of the horizontal knife, which is said to be one inch long and one inch strong. This kind of standard knife is not very powerful in front of battle, so not many are made.

But most of these knives are used by "deaf and dumb" and Tianyan.What's more, only Huan Wenwen and Ran Ming possessed those gunpowder in the world.

There are only four places in Wei that are capable of making gunpowder, neither Qi, Yecheng, or Luoyang, and the last one is in Shangbei.

Judging from these anonymous people, no matter what, they cannot escape the relationship with Ran Ming.

With a heavy heart, Zhang Ping told Ran Min what Huangxu found here.

"What?" Ran Min said with a serious expression, "Such a thing happened?"

"Exactly!"

Although Zhang Ping couldn't speak, he could read lips, and as long as his sight allowed, he could fully understand what Ran Min meant.

Ran Min said again: "Then what's the situation now!"

"Thanks to the timely discovery, with the cooperation of the scouts, all the enemies have been wiped out before they have time to act." Zhang Ping said in sign language: "There are seven people in total, one of them fell into the water with an arrow, and his life and death are unknown, and the other four were killed on the spot. After being captured, the other two bit through the wax pills hidden in the tooth sockets, took poison and died!"

Ran Min fell into deep thought.

On the banks of the Yellow River, it is not something ordinary people can do to blow up the embankment with gunpowder in a frenzy.

First of all, this gunpowder has just been invented and has not spread.Of course, it is not ruled out that alchemists other than Ge Hong, Du Jiong, and Sun Tai can make gunpowder, but they must not have further processed and purified the nitrate and sulfur, and they do not understand the true proportion of gunpowder, so it is impossible to create powerful gunpowder.

Could it be that Ran Ming really did it?

Ran Min shook his head, if this was done by Ran Ming behind the scenes, then Ran Ming would be a disappointment to Ran Min.

Ran Min closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Zhang Ping, what do you think?"

"I just have a few doubts!" ​​Zhang Ping said calmly, sign language.

Ran Min's heart moved slightly, and he looked at Zhang Ping with an unusual charm: "But it's defenseless!"

Zhang Ping suddenly pointed to a bloody lancet and said: "This kind of knife is a kind of knife that His Highness King Qin ordered people to make when he was in the feudal kingdom of Jiaodong, but this kind of knife is not powerful enough in close combat and is only suitable for assassination, so The number of builds is not large, and only equipped with "Heavenly Deaf and Dumb" and "Sky Eye". Neither "dumb" nor "eye of the sky" will use this kind of knife. There is no need to carry such a self-destructive knife for tasks such as blasting river embankments, let alone assassination, frontal melee combat, and the power of horizontal knives On the contrary, it is bigger than the lancet!"

Ran Min nodded and said, "Is there any more?"

"Yes!" Zhang Ping continued: "Second point, the "Tianyan" established by His Royal Highness King Qin was taught by Ping. Tianyan can also be said to be a student of "deaf and dumb". Among the 35 students, eleven of us have been developed. Of these eleven members of Sky Eye, three of them died in battle, and one was injured and quit Sky Eye. The other workers are all core members of Sky Eye. For such a major operation, they will definitely get news , but they have not sent any news about the operation."

Ran Min said: "Wouldn't the King of Qin discover their identities, make them empty or silence them?"

Zhang Ping smiled and said: "His Royal Highness King Qin has been a vassal of Qin, and since March of the first year of Kaiyuan, the members of Tianyan have been transferred from the Central Plains one after another, and the work of Tianyan has been transferred to Hehuang and the Western Regions. Today, Yanyan is in Yecheng There are only two strongholds left, brother and sister Huo Qi and Huo Rui are in charge, even the peripheral members are counted, but there are only 21 of them, and the members of Sky Eye have all been recorded."

Zhang Ping's unspoken intention was to tell Ran Min that even if Ran Ming wanted to do it, he actually had no strength.

If Ran Ming heard these words here, he would definitely break out in a cold sweat. The things that Ran Ming thought to be secret were actually under the surveillance of the "deaf and dumb".

"Then, what happened by the river?" Ran Min mused, "Could it have nothing to do with King Qin?"

Zhang Ping took out two more paper bags and handed them to Ran Min, saying, "Your Majesty, please look at these two types of gunpowder."

Ran Min didn't need to look carefully to find the difference, one was black gray powder and the other was pure black particles.Ran Min pointed at the gunpowder and said, "This, this..."

Zhang Pingdao: "If Ping's guess is correct, the gunpowder has not flowed out of the four manufacturing workshops in Wei State. Since the gunpowder was put into production, His Royal Highness King Qin and Ge Xianweng have mixed water, plant ash and nitrate to precipitate, and adopt the recrystallization method. The pure nitrate obtained by this method (in fact, the purity is only about 90.00%), and this kind of nitrate is obviously crude nitrate, and the explosive power is not the same at all!"

In fact, Ran Min didn't understand the impact of gunpowder on military affairs, he still advocated duels with cold weapons.

Of course, this is still related to Ran Ming and his pursuit of perfection. Before this primitive and backward delivery method is completely changed, Ran Ming is not ready to use gunpowder in large-scale military wars.

Ran Min said: "This is the end of this matter, no one is allowed to speak up, and those who violate it will be severely punished!"

Zhang Ping said: "But!"

"Check, check in detail, but don't say anything!"

In fact, Ran Min already knew the real mastermind of this matter.

People who even dare to murder themselves, who can do such things as patricide, have any scruples?
Ran Min was very heartbroken at the moment, that he had actually cultivated such a successor.Ran Zhi sent someone to murder him, and Ran Min was not sad about it.The environment in which Ran Min grew up determines the direction of Ran Min's thinking. In fact, Ran Min's thinking is also unconscious.

During the power transfer process of the leader of the wolf pack, there is almost no peaceful transfer.Usually it is accompanied by a blood belly. When the old wolf king is getting old, when his glory is gone, those new wolf kings will have to go through bloody struggles, and the one who succeeds in the end can defeat the old wolf king and become The new leader of the wolf pack.

Only in this way can the wolves become stronger and stronger.Ran Zhi was eager to kill his superior,
Ran Min actually didn't have much anger in his heart.

But this time Ran Min was really sad. He not only wanted to kill himself, but to blow up the Yellow River embankment. Once the Yellow River flooded, the Central Plains would become a vast ocean, even if it would not spread across the six states like in the fifth year of Yuankang. In 190, the second county was flooded, but the consequences were also very fatal.

The wolf pack's battle against the wolf king is bloody and cruel, but no wolf cub attracts a tiger to defeat his opponent and brings the entire wolf pack into a desperate situation.But what Ran Zhi did was not only to assassinate himself, but also to play with millions of people in the Wei state.

The more Ran Min thought about it, the more his heart ached, and the more he thought about it, the more sad he became, and gradually Ran Min's consciousness fell into darkness.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Come quickly, imperial doctor, hurry to find the imperial doctor, your majesty is vomiting blood!"

Wei Feng led a thousand cavalrymen of the Qin army. They had been patrolling the river embankment for three days and three nights without dismounting their horses or taking their clothes off. They were better off along the way. There was not much danger on the north bank, and Wei Feng had to lead people on several occasions. Following Ran Ming's method, the gap was blocked in time.Although the gap was blocked, there was a vast ocean behind them.

Three days later, neither Wei Feng nor Zu Yan had a peaceful night's sleep, but when those simple people handed them rice porridge that they were reluctant to drink, Wei Feng never felt it. The people will be so grateful to them.In fact, in terms of flood fighting and disaster relief, the People's Liberation Army of later generations looks around the world, and it is the only one that has no branches.This is the best interpretation of the people's army and the people's fish and water conditions.

Although these soldiers were very tired, Wei Feng still did not dare to slack off.At this time, Wei Feng and the soldiers under his command were in a very strange state of excitement.Ran Ming sent an order to the whole army, "Scholars should serve the country and the people. Scholars govern the world. They are scholars. They fought bloody battles for the Great Wei. They are also soldiers. They are sergeants and warriors. They are all warriors who overcome natural disasters, keep the embankments, and protect the people of Heluo. Great Wei's Peerless National Scholar!"

Except for the fact that they really worked hard on the first day, they are much better now. Under Ran Min's order, they included civilian husbands, soldiers from the counties and counties along the river, officials, government servants, and even criminals in the cells. The prisoner also took it up.All the forces that could be mobilized, including the elite troops of the Wei State, rushed to the Yellow River embankment. The cavalry of the Qin Army only took on the task of reconnaissance of the water situation. If there was any danger, it should be notified immediately, and someone would go up to deal with it.

Not only civilian husbands and officials, but also food and medicine, but these are still not enough, so many people are crowded together, there will definitely be troubles.Criminal cases such as extortion, rape of prostitutes, etc. also emerge in endlessly.Ran Ming also showed an extremely tough side. As long as it was a case known to them, they did not condone it, nor did they give it a lighter sentence, let alone say that the meritorious deeds, no matter who it was, they were directly chopped off.

It wasn't until Ran Ming killed dozens of people that the power shocked the surrounding people who were about to move.

People's hearts are stable, but the Yellow River embankment is in danger.
