"What about you! How dare you run away? Take my words as farts?!!"
The dealers in Xiaojiazhuang always think very highly of themselves, even more arrogant than the Chang'an people at the feet of the emperor!
Now, in front of my house, I was almost knocked down by someone, and the black-faced man who hit me didn't even apologize! How can I bear this? So the banker immediately jumped up, pointed at the back of the black-faced man and started to curse!
However, before he even finished saying this nonsense, four or five big hands stretched out from all around and covered his mouth firmly!
"Shh..."
Next to the banker, a neighbor who lived across the door was sweating profusely and said to him in a low voice: "You don't recognize him? He is Ren Qing! General Ren! The Marquis has to be polite when he sees him. Do you dare to scold him? Xiao Xiao I don’t care about my life!”
"Gah..." When the banker who was about to struggle heard this, he was dumbfounded for a moment!
However, after staying for a while, he quickly became unconvinced and started struggling violently again.
"You're crazy! I told you he was Ren Qing, and you still want to..." The person who spoke at the beginning saw him struggling and became angry! He was about to reprimand him a few more words, but as soon as he cursed, his face suddenly froze, and immediately turned red!
"Ahhhh!!!"
A shrill scream echoed through the morning light! Amidst the screams, countless villagers watched helplessly as this "kind neighbor" jumped up and down in the crowd with his hands covered! In the palm of his hand, a row of deep tooth marks was clearly visible.
"Fufufu... I know he is Ren Qing, but I have to breathe! It's suffocating me!"
Behind this person, a banker with a red face who was also holding back breathed heavily and cursed angrily.
Naturally, he didn't dare to talk to the legendary "Uncle Ren", but he couldn't do it if he was covered and almost suffocated to death, right?
Because they were not far apart, the commotion at the other end of the road quickly attracted Xiao Han's attention!
Just when Xiao Han turned to look at the commotion, Ren Qing, who was rushing towards him, was already in front of him!
"Ren Qing? Why are you here?" Suddenly seeing this familiar black-faced man, Xiao Han, who was tired, was obviously stunned for a moment. When he realized that he had seen it right, he asked in surprise.
However, Ren Qing, who was striding forward, looked extremely gloomy! After seeing Xiao Han, he didn't ask him what he was doing with the people in Zhuangzi so early in the morning, nor did he say anything. He just stepped forward and lifted Xiao Han up from the ground!
"problem occurs!"
After mentioning Xiao Han, Ren Qing whispered three words in his ear.
"What?!"
Xiao Han, who wanted to struggle, was shocked for no reason when he heard this! Cold sweat started flowing down my back instantly!
He knew very well that Ren Qing, this ugly man could not lie at all! If he said something happened, something must have happened! And it’s not a trivial matter!
"What happened!" Xiao Han asked Ren Qing anxiously, suppressing the intense uneasiness in his heart!
Ren Qing's cheeks trembled, and finally he spat out a few words: "The Qinling Mountains exploded!"
"What!!!"
Ren Qing only said four short words! But to Xiao Han's ears, these four words were no less than a bolt from the blue! He was so shocked that he felt like the world was spinning. His mind went blank and he couldn't remember anything!
Qinling, exploded? How could the Qinling Mountains explode? !
Xiao Han naturally understood: The Qinling Mountains are three thousand miles apart, with countless mountains stretching from east to west! There is no way it would explode for no reason!
There is only one place where it can explode, the firearms workshop, the east courtyard!
"Old Ren! What, what's going on!"
"Didn't we feel fine when we left?"
Surrounded by Lao Deng and Lao Jiang, who were still temporarily staying at Xiao's house, they also heard what Ren Qing said. They were frightened and angry at the same time. They grabbed Ren Qing's clothes and shouted excitedly!
Xiao Han could no longer hear Ren Qing's answer. At this time, he was like a mechanical puppet, stiffly handing the awakened child in his arms to Xue Pan! Then he stiffly opened his legs and walked towards the long street!
"Master Hou!"
Behind him, Xiaodong and Lengzi shouted eagerly, but Xiao Han still turned a deaf ear and just walked forward in a daze!
"Prepare your horses! Go to Qinling Mountains!"
Behind him, Ren Qing gave a low shout and took the lead in chasing Xiao Han, followed by Lao Deng and Lao Jiang following closely like crazy!
"Bang bang bang..."
The heavy sound of horse hooves rushed through the Qinling Mountain Road, but strangely it didn't startle even a single bird!
Last night, there was an earth-shattering explosion here, which had dispersed all the birds and beasts in a radius of dozens of miles! This made the dense forest this morning so quiet that it was almost eerie!
"He who comes is stopped!"
The horse's hooves were trampling, and Xiao Han, who was heartbroken, didn't pity the horse power at all, and rushed towards the east courtyard of the firearm at the fastest speed along the way!
Just when a group of people were approaching the east courtyard of the firearm, Ouchi guards suddenly jumped out on the mountain road and wanted to stop the galloping horse! Unexpectedly, Xiao Han, who was running at the front, whipped him to the side of the road without saying a word!
"That's unreasonable!"
The guard who was whipped for no reason was furious. He got up from the ground and wanted to draw his bow and shoot these daring men off their horses!
Unexpectedly, the school captain who came from behind kicked him to the ground again!
"You're blind! That was Xiao Hou just now!" The captain glared at the guard who was covered in grass clippings and dust, and cursed angrily.
The kicked guard had already climbed up, but when he heard the word Xiao Hou, his feet slipped and he fell heavily to the ground.
"Xiao Hou? Isn't he grounded at home? How come he's here! And he's here just after His Majesty arrived. Aren't you afraid of being caught?"
——————
At the other end of the road, Xiao Han and the others had no time to pay attention to what was happening behind them! Because in the front, you can faintly see the hilltop where the Fire Research Institute was originally located!
But, is this really the original mountain?
Where did the lush mountains go? Why is there only a devastated and exposed mountain?
Red-yellow dust spreads from the feet to the end of the line of sight. Even the trees in the distance are also covered with an earthy yellow coat!
There were also those huge charred rocks that came from nowhere, just lying in the middle of the mountain road, blocking their mountain road! In the middle of the rocks, you can vaguely see a few towering old trees hugged by a few people. They are also lying in a mess at the foot of the mountain!
"Oh my god, what's going on! What's going on!"
The moment you see everything in front of you!
The two master craftsmen, Lao Deng and Lao Jiang, seemed to have been struck by lightning. They fell off their horses and fell into a pile of rubble!
Is this still the original firearms east courtyard?
Their research! Their designs! Their hard work! Where did all the money they invested here go? Is this the only remaining part of the mountain that is still emitting the slightest trace of smoke?
