Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 286 Fried Mountain
After Ye Qiongdan arranged the explosive package, he fixed the long lead wire.

She signaled Commander Xu and Xu Mingzhu to stand farther away, then lit the fuse, threw the explosive package far away into an open place, and shouted: "Father, Mingzhu, get down!"

Commander Xu and Xu Mingzhu were at a loss for a moment, and after seeing her lying down, they also fell down.

"Zi la la..."

The burning sound of the lead wire sounded rapidly.

"boom--!"

Earthquake!

When the symptoms of the earthquake gradually disappeared, Commander Xu and Xu Mingzhu stood up in a state of embarrassment, covered their ears with their hands, and became deaf for a while.

After a while, the sound from the outside world entered their ears again.

"What's going on here?" Commander Xu asked in shock.

"It's just a simple explosion." Ye Qiongdan didn't want to talk deeply.

"A simple explosion?" Commander Xu's face turned pale, he shook his head, his eyes shone with wisdom, "No, this is definitely not a simple explosion! Although I don't know much about firecrackers, But I know that explosions are very accidental and things that people actively avoid. No one will deliberately create an explosion. You must have fully grasped the secret of the explosion. And the power of this explosion is really too... too frightening!"

"Yes, it's terrible!" Xu Mingzhu patted her chest and said with lingering fear, "Qiong Dan, you got so many explosives, are you planning to blow up the mountain?"

"That's right!" Ye Qiongdan nodded, "I want to blow up those silver coins!"

"But those jewels..."

"Then it will inevitably be broken," Ye Qiongdan said helplessly, "However, Mingzhu, you and I have been to the warehouse where the charity funds are temporarily stored before, and you should know that those 10 taels of silver are cash silver, and there is no money in it. There are no valuables such as jewelry. It would be a pity if the jewelry hidden in the thieves gang was blown up in explosions, but the current situation is that we have to find the few 10 taels of donations, and we can’t take care of them. Others."

Xu Mingzhu nodded in understanding, and looked back at her father, only to find Commander Xu's expression was very serious, even a little hesitant.

"Father, what's wrong with you?" Xu Mingzhu asked quickly.

Commander Xu looked at Ye Qiongdan with some unease: "Is there a fourth person besides our father and daughter who knows about the explosion that you can control?"

"Of course not." Ye Qiongdan said firmly.

"Then tonight's explosion, do you have a reasonable excuse to hide the sight of the world?"

"Qiong Dan can make the Five Thunder Talisman! It's very powerful! She can use the Talisman while throwing a medicine bag that can cause an explosion!" Xu Mingzhu said quickly, "In this way, everyone will only think that God opened his eyes, Cleave this mountain and let the charitable money reappear in the world, no one will doubt it!"

"I think so too," Ye Qiongdan smiled slightly, "Father, I know your concerns, don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut about the explosives in the future."

"Huai Bi is a crime," Commander Xu sighed, "This matter is of great importance. I am afraid that it will be used by someone with a heart on the battlefield in the future. At that time, your situation will be difficult to say. If you get people's attention, the foster father will be less able to keep you."

"I understand!" Ye Qiongdan said solemnly, "It's just that the donation is due to me after all, so I must take the risk of using explosives on this matter to prevent my foster father from being in danger."

"Okay," Commander Xu nodded, and began to tell Xu Mingzhu seriously, "Don't let this matter go out, do you understand?"

"Understood!" Xu Mingzhu nodded quickly.

The three got on their horses again and galloped towards the south of Peacock Mountain.

After arriving at the foot of the mountain where the thieves and gangsters lived, the three got off their horses and started up the mountain.

The mountain was heavily guarded and everyone was silent.

After the three left, the soldiers discussed a few words in a few words.

"The few 10 taels of donations have not been found yet. Our adults are afraid that we will be in bad luck. We don't know that we will be put on a hat of greedy donations, beheaded, and will be protected by the people above. Only the officials will be demoted. job."

"These 10 taels of charitable donations were donated by those dignitaries and noble families. The involvement of this matter is too big and too wide. I am afraid that the people above will not be able to keep it. My lord, this time it is a bad luck Yes, what a pity!"

"That's right, our lord never treats his subordinates harshly. It would be a pity if we lost our lives because of such an unlucky incident! Alas, it's also my fault that you didn't think carefully before, and only wanted to catch the bandits who fled down the mountain. I was arrested, why didn't I expect that the money would be hidden by the bandits? Those bandits have occupied these hills for nearly a hundred years, and the court is helpless against them. How cunning they must be! Why don't you think about this problem, my lord? Woolen cloth?"

"A wise man is bound to make a mistake. Our lord's fall this time is probably doomed! Since those bandits have a secret passage to leave, they will naturally have a secret passage to return. Who knows when, the 10 taels of charitable money It was taken away by them without anyone noticing."

……

Just as they were talking, the sound of horns came down from the top of the mountain layer by layer.

This is the call to retreat!

The faces of the soldiers who heard the voice were full of surprise!
This is not looking for charity money?
Is this too fast to give up?
Is the adult planning to go home and wait for death?No matter what, I should struggle to the death!

Maybe in a few days, the mountain will be dug three feet, and what will be dug up?

However, the soldier's bounden duty is to obey, and they immediately went down the mountain in an orderly manner with the bandits they couldn't catch.

Then, each centurion began to recruit people, and each battalion began to recruit people.

After the number of people arrived, the horn sounded again at the foot of the mountain. Commander Xu, who heard the horn sound at the top of the mountain, nodded and looked at Ye Qiongdan.

Ye Qiongdan nodded, took out some yellow paper from his bosom, and found some cinnabar from the stockade on the mountain to prepare it, dipped it in with a clean brush, and drew five thunder talismans one by one.

After drawing the Five Thunder Talisman, she walked out of the room and went to a watchtower on the top of the mountain. First, she ignited a dynamite bag and threw it out. Then, after calculating the time when the dynamite bag exploded, she restored some vitality in her body. True Qi was poured into the Five Thunder Talisman.

"boom--!"

Shake the mountain!
The people at the foot of the mountain were all stunned, their faces pale with fright.

"What, what's going on here? Has God opened his eyes again? Who is God trying to hack this time?"

"Could it be that those gangsters sneaked back to steal the money and were seen by God?"

"It must be so! Oh, these gangsters are really evil. You see, if God doesn't hack others, he just picks them!"

……

And the bandits who were caught by the soldiers were even more frightened and trembling.

With the attitude of the gods, after they die, they will be punished to the [-]th floor of hell?
"boom--!"

Another wave of shaking!
"boom--!"

Still shaking for a while!
……

After throwing about seven or eight large explosive packs, the entire mountain was blown up by one-third.

Ye Qiongdan's five senses were very strong. After the eighth explosive package exploded, amidst the firelight and gunpowder smoke, she faintly saw the light of some silver.

"Father! I found it! I found the silver!" Ye Qiongdan shouted excitedly.

"Where is it?" Commander Xu also became excited.

"It's right there!" Ye Qiongdan pointed at the place where the explosion happened just now.

Just after the earthquake subsided completely, Ye Qiongdan led them to walk there. Xu Mingzhu was the most excited, and was the first to rush over, stretching out her hand to scrape away the layer of virtual soil above.

"Father! Silver! A lot of silver! We probably really found all the donations!" Xu Mingzhu shouted.

Commander Xu immediately took out the horn on his waist and blew a slogan to let them go up the mountain.

The soldiers at the foot of the mountain heard the sound of the horn, trotted up the mountain in an orderly manner, and stood behind Commander Xu.

"God has eyes, our donation has been found!" Commander Xu announced, "Go to the stockade and find some shovels, shovel up all the empty soil, and bring up boxes of silver!"

"Yes!" The soldiers said happily.

They were afraid of changing to a new lord, as the so-called new official took office with three fires, who knows how the new lord will torment them!
After two hours of excavation, several 10 taels of charitable funds have all been carried out, and there is no shortage of a tael of silver.

It can be seen that those bandits have not had time to use the money.

At the end of the boxes of silver, there was a place that hadn't been destroyed by the bombing. There were more than ten boxes of jewelry. If those jewelry were converted into cash silver, they would probably be worth 8 to [-] taels.

This was an unexpected surprise tonight. Originally, Ye Qiongdan thought that these jewels would be blown to pieces!

"Okay!" Commander Xu said happily, "Come here, inform the county magistrate of Qinghe County overnight, and ask the Yamen to send someone to transport the donation. As for the jewels, hand them over to the imperial court!"

"Yes!" several soldiers said quickly.

An hour later, the county magistrate personally brought a group of yamen servants over, and they began to move money one after another.

Since there were only dozens of yamen servants in the yamen, and there was a serious shortage of manpower, Commander Xu sent hundreds of soldiers to help, and then sent all the money to the yamen's warehouse before Yinshi the next day.

After this matter was resolved, the three of them were extremely sleepy.

I found a room directly on the mountain and slept.

Unexpectedly, at noon the next day, after Ye Qiongdan washed up, she opened the door of Xu Mingzhu's room and found her missing.

On the table in the room, put a letter.

Ye Qiongdan held up the letter with some unease, tore open the envelope, took out the letter paper and glanced at it, then his face changed.

This is Ye Jiwu's handwriting!

It was Ye Jiwu who kidnapped Xu Mingzhu without anyone noticing, there must be a tunnel in this room!

"Come on!" she yelled.

The soldier outside the door immediately walked in, saluted her respectfully, and shouted: "Second Miss!"

"When did you start the night watch?" Ye Qiongdan asked seriously.

"After Miss Xu fell asleep, we stayed outside." A soldier replied.

"Several people?"

"Eight people."

"Is there any abnormality?" Ye Qiongdan pursed her lips, "Any abnormality must be reported!"

"No," the soldier shook his head. "Miss Xu has a habit of sleeping with a lamp. Last night, the lamp was kept on in the room until the lamp oil was burned out."

"Did you not hear anything?"
