"Bang bang bang!"
There was a burst of explosions, and there seemed to be fireworks exploding on the ground in the distance, instantly drowning out Lu Zhishen's loud voice. Qinbei Pavilion
"Who is setting off fireworks?"
Sun Lei was stunned for a while. This was the first time he saw fireworks in this world. Although there were no colorful colors and they were on the ground, the sparks were indeed fireworks.
Unlike Sun Lei, Lu Zhishen and Shi Qian were on guard and kept looking around. They had never heard the explosion.
Zhang San and Li Si were even more unbearable. They were so frightened that they hid behind Lu Zhishen and Sun Lei, as if they had seen ghosts.
"Why would someone set off fireworks in that direction?"
Sun Lei looked at the darkness that had settled down. They had already left the inner city. This area of the outer city was relatively deserted, with large areas of wasteland.
"Is it possible that Jia Zhanku is testing artillery?"
Lu Zhishen realized that he had been in the Western Army, been on the front line, and had seen artillery. Because it happened many years ago, he suddenly didn't think of it just now.
"Jia Zhanku?"
Sun Lei was unfamiliar with this term.
"The Jiazhan warehouse is the warehouse where military weapons and equipment are manufactured and stored. The Jiazhan warehouse is also divided into several bureaus, including the armor bureau, the sword and gun bureau, the shield bureau, the gunpowder bureau, the firearms bureau, etc."
Lu Zhishen introduced.
"However, the imperial court has strict management of ordnance, and the armored warehouse is a top priority. How can it be possible to allow people to set off artillery nearby?"
Lu Zhishen frowned and said, Firearms have always been a secret weapon in the military. They are extremely powerful and extremely dangerous. Fireworks have always been prohibited by the Gunpowder Bureau and the Firearms Bureau.
"Let's go over and have a look!"
Sun Lei became interested. Firearms are a great thing. If you can get them and promote them, let alone the Khitans, Jurchens, and Mongols, they are all trivial. With firearms, you can conquer the whole world!
"Great Sage, there is the Jiazhangku in front of you, and ordinary people cannot get close to it."
Li Si quickly said that the area around Jiazhangku was heavily guarded, and even those who entered by mistake would be punished.
"I didn't say enter, I just went to take a look around. Let's just treat it as being attracted to watch the fun."
Sun Lei really didn't care. Since he saw it, there was no reason to ignore it.
Sun Lei walked forward with a few people, and suddenly a black shadow came out, as if he was running for his life in a hurry.
"who?"
Shi Qian stood in front of him and stopped the dark figure.
"Everyone, help me deal with the people behind me, please!"
A man whose body was covered with dust and dirt, whose face was covered with traces of smoke and fire, and whose hair looked like an explosion, looked at Sun Lei and others and begged.
"You go and hide in the grass over there, and the Sa family will help you deal with it."
Lu Zhishen looked at a group of soldiers and horses pursuing them in the distance, and when the road was uneven, he felt restless and wanted to draw his sword to help.
"Thank you!"
The man jumped directly into the weeds nearby.
"Who are you?"
A pair of officers and soldiers came over holding torches. When they saw Sun Lei and others, they immediately held down the weapons at their waists and began to interrogate them on guard.
"We were passing by and saw the water here, so we were ready to help."
Sun Lei spoke first and said, "We can't let Lu Zhishen talk about this kind of thing. This guy is too upright and doesn't know how to lie. He will probably betray him within a few words and then use fists and kicks." These are the government troops in front of us. It's not difficult to kill them. But there are hundreds of thousands of government troops in Tokyo. If you stoke a hornet's nest, you won't be able to live in peace.
"It's none of your business. This is a very important place. No one can get close to it!"
The leaders calmed down, looked at Sun Lei and the others and shouted.
"Did you see someone running past?"
Dutou asked again.
"Yes, that person went over there in a hurry, looking suspicious!"
Sun Lei pointed in the direction of the inner city and said.
"Jia Zhanku emphasizes, please leave quickly!"
Na Dutou said a word before leading the people and running towards the inner city.
"If Ling Zhen dares to detonate gunpowder near the Jiazhan warehouse, he must be captured and severely punished!"
Dutou shouted to his soldiers.
"Thank you everyone! Thank you everyone!"
When Ling Zhen saw that his pursuers were gone, he came out of the grass and cupped his fists to thank Sun Lei and others.
"Are you Ling Zhen? Hong Tian Lei Ling Zhen?"
Sun Lei looked at the guy in front of him who looked like he had crawled out of a coal mine and asked, is this the first gunner of Water Margin, Ling Zhen?
"Does this person know me? Hey, it's really indecent for me to look like this!"
Ling Zhen looked at Sun Lei in surprise, but found that he was in a mess, so he smiled and said.
"To thank you for your help, I'll treat you to a drink."
Ling Zhen looked at Sun Lei and others and said with a smile. He was dirty, but his teeth were very white when he smiled.
"Okay, I just want a drink."
Sun Lei agreed with a smile.
Everyone came to a small tile in the outer city. Ling Zhen went to the back of the hotel to wash up. Although his clothes were still dirty, his face was clean. It turned out that Ling Zhen was only a young man in his twenties. .
"Do you want to blow up that armored warehouse? I didn't expect you to have such courage!"
Lu Zhishen looked at Ling Zhen and said, the explosion just now was quite powerful, and the fireworks exploded by gunpowder were several feet high.
"This master misunderstood. I am the deputy gunner of the Tokyo Jiazhanku. Today I was just testing gunpowder outside the Jiazhanku. I accidentally put too much gunpowder, which caused the explosion."
Ling Zhen said with a bitter smile.
"Then you are really brave and dare to test gunpowder outside the armor storehouse."
Lu Zhishen suddenly realized that he had saved a deputy envoy who was in trouble.
"The explosion just now was no joke. Didn't you put in a little too much medicine?"
Sun Lei looked at Ling Zhen and asked, the explosion just now was definitely not caused by adding a little more medicine.
"This brother is laughing. That is a new type of gunpowder. I didn't expect it to be so powerful. It's just a pack. To be honest, brothers, I was too close at that time, and the air wave directly flew me out and fell to the side. The pit is so miserable."
Ling Zhen said with an embarrassed smile.
"You are really a lunatic. Gunpowder is extremely dangerous. You dare to get so close to it when you are experimenting with new gunpowder. You don't want to live long."
Sun Lei was speechless for a while. He was still fine after being blown away. Ling Zhen was really lucky.
"This brother knows about gunpowder? I was also fascinated. I didn't think much about it for a while. After the configuration was completed, I was supposed to go to test outside the city tomorrow, but I really couldn't wait, so I tried it next to the water pool outside Jiazhanku. ”
Ling Zhen said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, everyone opened their mouths in surprise. They originally thought that Ling Zhen was bold enough, but they didn't expect that this guy was simply crazy.
"Why do you think the Sa family saved the wrong person?"
Lu Zhishen was rarely speechless. If he were in charge of the armored warehouse, beating Ling Zhen with two hundred army sticks would be a light sentence.
"Guys, please don't look at me like this. It's actually not that dangerous. I only have a pack of gunpowder."
Ling Zhen saw the different expressions on everyone's faces and said with a smile.
"Then you're not afraid of setting fire to the Kawaraku? Then Tokyo will be blown up to the sky."
Sun Lei suddenly felt that he was in danger just now, and he almost became a fish in the pond. He was still the most innocent kind. If the gunpowder magazine in the Jiazhan warehouse was set on fire, everyone in his group would probably die in the west.
