"How did you get in touch with that wealthy businessman?"
This... man looked very embarrassed. He wanted to help Wen Yuan contact the other party, but...
Wen Yuan saw something was wrong with him and kicked the man in the leg, "Tell me, are you deaf?"
"When we asked him for the fourth artillery piece, he told us that we no longer had any. Then I was afraid that he would leak the news and kill people..."
The man's words made Wen Yuan's vision suddenly darken. Trying to find any more clues was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Wen Yuan frowned and prepared to think of a way to notify the capital.
The person opposite saw Wen Yuan relax his vigilance and actually took out a short and powerful gun from his back. This made Wen Yuan even more sure that there was a big problem in the court.
Wen Yuan stared at the gun in a daze. The man saw this and mocked: "Have you never seen a rural woman like you? This thing is called a musket, and it is also a rare item I got."
But Wen Yuan wasn't afraid at all. She approached the man and snatched the gun away, "Silly thing, this is called a gun. The musket has a longer range and a longer range."
She played with the gun in her hand, which still had the symbol of the Dragon Kingdom on it. This thing had just appeared in the military camp not long ago. If this man could get it, it meant that what he just said was false.
Wen Yuan asked again, "Tell me, where did your artillery and muskets come from?"
"Didn't I tell you just now? A wealthy businessman gave it to me." The man didn't know that he was already feeling guilty and sweating on his forehead.
Looking at the man kneeling on the ground, Wen Yuan was a little impatient, but she needed this man to help her find those people.
Wen Yuan thought for a while and decided to let the man go, "You go away and don't come here again, otherwise I will definitely not show mercy."
But the three brothers of the Lu family disagreed with Wen Yuan letting him go, "No, letting him go is like letting the tiger go back to the mountain. You can't let him go!" The second brother of the Lu family was the first to be different.
Wen Yuan glared at the three of them, "I have my own plans, don't talk nonsense."
The few people had no choice but to listen to Wen Yuan and release all the captured prisoners.
But what they didn't expect was that Wen Yuan would follow them back, not blatantly of course, but flying invisible in the sky.
Shen Huaiyan also followed Wen Yuan. He didn't understand what Wen Yuan's purpose was, "Why should you follow them? Why don't you just force him to say it?"
"It's useless. Besides the cannons and cannons, I also want to know why they are immune to the poisonous miasma."
When we arrived at the place where the men were, the black miasma here was still the same as the last time we came here, surrounding the entire village.
Thinking of what this group of people had done for the village, Wen Yuan couldn't help but put a demonic fire around the black miasma.
The blue flames quickly spread in the mountain. Of course Wen Yuan knew that she could not set the mountain on fire, so she controlled the fire to only burn around the cottage.
It won't hurt the innocent people inside, and it can also teach this group of people a lesson.
"This is a fox fire! This is a fox fire! It's over. Our village is over. We provoked the mountain god, so the fox fire ignited inexplicably!"
The people below were shouting, while Wen Yuan was holding his stomach and laughing in the sky as if watching a good show, "Now they don't have the energy to think about capturing other people's strongholds."
Who would have thought that the demonic fire would spread to the village when Wen Yuan wasn't paying attention, "A Yuan, you'd better take a look."
The people below worked hard to put out the fire, and Wen Yuan was a little annoyed, "How could it spread to the village..."
She had no choice but to put out the fire quickly, and soon the demon fire was taken back by Wen Yuan.
"Look at that man." If Shen Huaiyan hadn't been observing, the man would have almost left under Wen Yuan's eyes.
Where are we going... Wen Yuan followed quietly, forgetting for a moment that there was a poisonous miasma around.
But just after Wen Yuan came in, she discovered a shocking secret, "Huaiyan, have you noticed that these so-called poisonous miasma seem to be...not poisonous at all."
Shen Huaiyan also discovered it, "Could it be that they deliberately set up a fake miasma to avoid being attacked?"
But how can the miasma be faked? After living for so long, a man really doesn’t know how to create a fake miasma, and it’s all so black.
Although Wen Yuan also wanted to know, the most important thing for her now was to follow the man and see what he wanted to do.
I saw the man walking into a cellar covertly. It seemed that there was no other way out of this small door. Wen Yuan had no choice but to wait outside...
But the man didn't come out for a long time. Shen Huaiyan realized that he might have left through the cellar, and opened the small door regardless of Wen Yuan's obstruction. "Look, there is a passage in here. The man ran away long ago."
It really is……
For several days in a row, the man never appeared again. Wen Yuan had no choice but to take Shen Huaiyan and leave first.
She sent the enchantress to guard the area and notify her whenever they made any movement.
Wen Yuan tore open the space rift and returned to the palace in the capital. She found the old emperor who was reviewing the memorial, and placed the gun in front of the old emperor's eyes, "Where did you get this?"
The emperor is now old and his eyesight is not as good as before. The way he looks wearing a turban is a bit funny. Wen Yuan almost stopped laughing when he saw it.
"I got this from a bandit. Emperor, are you just watching those moths doing little things under your hands? This is something from the military camp. Don't you think it's strange that it fell into the hands of a bandit? ? In addition, there are three artillery pieces, which are currently parked in the princess's mansion."
Her words made the old emperor take it seriously. "The gun is a thing that was only made recently. There is no reason for it to appear in the hands of bandits. I will investigate this matter strictly. Don't worry."
It is about the country, the country, and the country. No matter how confused the old emperor is, he will not be vague about it.
The next day, news came from the palace that every official was being scrutinized. They didn't say what they were looking for or what the reason was. This made many officials with dirty hands panic.
After receiving the news, Wen Yuan had a strange expression on his face, "We'll see what happens next."
She just thought about going out to see the excitement, but she didn't expect that the enchantress over there came with news, "Commander, the man you asked us to watch is back, and he is carrying a lot of things. It seems that It should be those firecrackers and muskets you mentioned."
Wen Yuan frowned and followed them back. She came to the house of the big boss and found him lying there wondering what he was thinking.
"Who?!" The man touched the gun under the pillow.
Wen Yuan quietly walked out of the darkness, "You really have a lot of firearms. I just took away your first gun, and I have another one."
She suddenly grabbed the man's neck, "You still haven't told me the truth, have you?"
"Sister, it's not that I won't tell you, it's that I really don't dare to say it. If I tell you... the lives of the people in our village will be lost. Even if I don't think about myself, I still have to think about them. Think about it.”
This time Wen Yuan looked into his eyes and felt that what the man said was not a lie. She slowly let go of the man's hand and picked up the gun.
Wen Yuan smelled the scent of benzoin on the gun in his hand, "I'm just going to ask you a few questions. You don't have to be afraid."
The man nodded honestly, and Wen Yuan asked his first question, "Is the other party an official from the capital?"
The man opposite him closed his eyes and nodded slightly. Wen Yuan asked again: "He is a mentally ill man, right?"
This time, the man opposite fell into silence. He frowned and closed his eyes under Wen Yuan's sharp gaze.
Wen Yuan understood his expression, turned around and left immediately, but before leaving, she still took away all the man's firearms.
But the next day, news came from the village that the man died in his house.
Wen Yuan felt it was a pity, but she still got some useful information. Now she would first investigate which officials in the DPRK and Central Government liked to use benzoin.
When he brought the collected firearms to the old emperor, the old emperor was even more shocked, "You...could it be that you robbed them all from those bandits?"
"That's right. And..." Wen Yuan found a very powerful thing when she was checking it. She finally put it on the old emperor's desk, "This must only be available in specific military camps."
If Wen Yuan saw it correctly, these things should be from the military camp where Jiang Feng is located.
"And what?" The old emperor looked much more haggard, presumably because of this.
"And the bandit died. Before he died, he told me that it wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but that if he said it, it would endanger his life and that of the people in his village. But unexpectedly, he still died."
There is still such a thing... The old emperor sighed heavily and put away the firearms, "You go back first, I will not tolerate this matter."
Wen Yuan wanted to go back to the Princess's Mansion first, but she changed her mind and went to Dingnan Prince's Mansion halfway. It would be better for her to discuss this matter with her father first.
"My father has also heard about this matter recently. It is very strange." The expression on King Dingnan's face surprised Wen Yuan.
She asked her father in confusion, "Why is it strange? Although I also think it is problematic for things like firearms to leak out...but...it's not impossible."
King Dingnan shook his head and analyzed the matter with Wen Yuan, "Silly boy, think about it, how could the emperor, who values military power and country so much, let such a thing happen under his nose? "
"That's true... but there are always surprises."
The man in front of me shook his head again and said: "Everything may have accidents, but this will not happen. My father knows the emperor too well. He is a very thoughtful and suspicious person. Think about it, How could something as important as a firearm be left outside and still be in the hands of a group of bandits?"
Listening to his father's analysis, Wen Yuan felt that what he said made sense, "Then... what should I do now? After all, I discovered this thing, and I am also responsible."
"We have no other choice in this matter. We can only wait and see what happens. Alas... My father really doesn't want you to get involved in these things. You can just be free. Why bother with so many things in the court."
King Dingnan thought for a while and said as if he had a sudden realization: "Do you think it's because..."
Why? Wen Yuan was extremely anxious beside him, "Why, father? What do you want to say?"
