"What!"
It was not only Tang Ping who made such a noise, but also Lao Cui, Lao Du, and the old man Pei who always seemed to care about matters that had nothing to do with him.
You must know that the preparation of gunpowder is the top secret of the Tang Dynasty.
Those who can go in there are the most loyal to Datang.
Moreover, the gunpowder magazine for preparation and storage is actually not a place directly accessible.
To enter the gunpowder magazine, you need to pass through a tunnel that is one kilometer long.
Therefore, even if someone at the gunpowder magazine is followed by someone with a deliberate intention, they will not be able to find the specific location of the gunpowder magazine.
Around the gunpowder depot, in addition to the open and hidden sentries set up by dozens of special operations team members who are proficient in special operations, there are also various monitoring equipment provided by Tang Ping.
It can be said that if the opponent can't fly or land on the ground, he won't even be able to find the location of the gunpowder magazine.
And now this Tibetan spy actually said that they would blow up the gunpowder depot in Chang'an during the New Year.
For the surrounding countries, the greatest threat to them from the Tang Dynasty was the indestructible Divine Power Cannon of the Tang Dynasty.
Dongyue took advantage of the weather last time.
But more countries to the west of the Tang Dynasty did not have such a loophole to exploit.
They don't see rain a few times throughout the year in those places. It's definitely impossible to find that kind of long rainy season to attack Datang.
However, if the gunpowder depot is bombed, even if the border troops in various places still have some gunpowder in stock, it will immediately become a tree without roots and water without a source.
At that time, it will be the only opportunity for the surrounding countries to fight against the Tang Dynasty. They will definitely attack in groups and launch a crazy attack on the Tang Dynasty.
Even if Datang could withstand it, his vitality would definitely be severely damaged.
For the first time, Tang Ping's eyes were red with anxiety. He even ignored whether the other party had hidden weapons. He stepped forward and grabbed Alimu's collar and asked, "How did you know the location of the gunpowder depot? When do you plan to take action?" ?How do you plan to do it?"
Alimu shook his head: "I am not responsible for this operation, so I don't know. I only know that when I came to Chang'an this time, I brought a lot of gum. On the surface, I was a businessman disguised as gum, but in fact These gums were used for this operation.”
"Gum?" Several people in the carriage racked their brains and couldn't figure out where gum could be used to blow up Chang'an's gunpowder magazine.
"Where's Kordan? Does Kordan know?" Tang Ping asked again.
Cordan is the shopkeeper of the cloth shop.
"He probably doesn't know that he has other contacts above him. Like me, he also provided things for this operation. He provided the silk."
"Silk? Gum? What on earth are you going to do?"
Alimu shook his head and stopped talking.
Tang Ping believed that he really didn't know. He was not a specific participant in this event, and he would not let too many people know about such a thing.
Now that the other party has already recruited them, there is no need to lie about this kind of thing, so the only breakthrough point left is Kordan, the shopkeeper of Buzhuang.
"I keep what I say, you go back!" Tang Ping picked up a few pairs of ordinary boots and threw them to them: "You can wear these pairs of boots from now on. We will find you when needed."
The two of them didn't know why the other party could find them when wearing such boots, but it was not their place to ask now, so they could only nod and accept it honestly.
"After you go back, just pretend that what happened today didn't happen, and don't even think about going to tell Songtsen Gampo. Although he is a talented and resourceful man, you all know how suspicious he is. He would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let him go. A person’s temperament, you say, will most likely lead to death.”
"Yes, Lord Ping, we understand!" Alimu and Hu suddenly nodded in agreement. Just as Tang Ping said, if they go back and report today's events to Zanpu, there is a high probability that the outcome will be two. When an individual is placed under surveillance in the country, there is another possibility that the two people and their family members will disappear inexplicably.
After seeing the two people off, Tang Ping said eagerly: "Let's go back to Chang'an."
The camera hanging on the belt of Cordan, the shopkeeper, provided them with some clues, but it was not enough.
There are only a few days left now. It is said that the gunpowder magazine was blown up during the New Year, but it may not necessarily be on New Year's Day. Now the gunpowder magazine in Chang'an will be in danger at any time.
What Tang Ping wanted to do was to find out the Tibetan spies in Chang'an, and to inform Li Tai to strengthen the security of the gunpowder depot.
Tang Ping originally thought about changing to another place, but after thinking about it, it still wasn't appropriate.
Time was too short, and it was too difficult to find a secret and safe place to transfer so much gunpowder, raw materials, and equipment.
And since the gunpowder depot has been discovered by the other party, I am afraid that someone will be watching over there at any time. Once the transfer begins, it will inevitably be discovered.
Where to put all that stuff? Is it possible to put it in the palace? It is safe there, but there are countless maids and guards in the palace from top to bottom, so there is no guarantee that no one will be bribed.
If it explodes in the palace, it will be over.
The carriage rushed into Chang'an at high speed, but Tang Ping did not get out of the car. Who wouldn't recognize his face now? It would be too eye-catching for anyone to see.
Even today, the carriage is an ordinary carriage, and the driver is a villager from Shanghe Village.
The one who went down was Gou Shaoqun. In Chang'an, few people knew him.
Entering Kordan's cloth shop, Gou Shaoqun shouted arrogantly: "Shopkeeper! Big business is coming!"
On the carriage just now, Tang Ping got him a set of brocade robes, and he brought a lot of gold and jade articles with him, making him look like a nouveau riche.
There are a lot of opportunities in Chang'an City now. Many people suddenly have money, some of them are like Gou Shaoqun now, so if someone sees them, they won't think there is anything wrong.
Kordan carefully said with a smile: "Sir, I am the shopkeeper here. I wonder if you have any big business to take care of the small shop?"
"I want to buy five hundred pieces of the best silk!" Gou Shaoqun almost slapped Kordan in the face.
However, five hundred bolts of the best silk is indeed not a small amount. This Kordan is a spy for Tibet, but his apparent identity is the owner of a cloth shop, so it is naturally impossible for him to push his business outside.
So he still asked with a smile on his face: "What kind of silk does the guest want? The silk in our cloth shop is all the best quality from Chang'an."
"I want one hundred pieces of silk produced in Huzhou, fifty pieces of which are cyan and fifty pieces of blue. I want one hundred pieces of silk from Yizhou, fifty pieces of which are green but darker than those from Huzhou, and fifty pieces. Blue, but the color is lighter than that of Huzhou. I also want silk from the Chang'an Gongfang District. I only need twelve pieces of blue. The color is darker than that of Huzhou but lighter than that of Yizhou..."
"Sir, wait a minute, I'll take some notes." Kordan interrupted Gou Shaoqun. Such a request was overwhelming just to hear him say it.
When Gou Shaoqun saw him taking the banknotes, he said unhappily: "I have such a big deal, you won't just let me stand here and tell you, right? Or do you think I can't afford the price?"
As he spoke, he took out a stack of Tang Dynasty coins from his arms.
Many shops now do not use Datang coins for transactions, but if the amount is large, you can ask someone from the currency exchange office to come over and exchange it for you.
After all, if Gou Shaoqun bought so much silk at once, it would be enough to pull several large carts with copper coins.
"I'm just confused!" Kordan slapped his forehead: "Please take a seat in the private room in the guest room. Er Dezi, serve tea to the guest. Serve good tea, the Mingqian tea I bought."
After inviting Gou Shaoqun to a small private room and offering him a cup of fragrant tea, Kordan sat down again with paper and pen.
"Sir, tell me, I'll write it down carefully for you."
Gou Shaoqun looked at the private room and saw that he and Kordan were the only ones left. He smiled and said, "I came here today mainly because of my friend's introduction."
"Friend? I wonder who the guest officer is talking about?"
"Two Tubo friends, one is named Alimu and the other is named Hudu."
Kordan's face suddenly turned pale. The two of them had just brought the goods out of the city this morning, and they also carried the information he had obtained for them. Why...
"Don't worry, Mr. Cordan, let's take a look at this!"
Gou Shaoqun followed the same method as he persuaded Alimu to surrender and suddenly persuaded Kordan to surrender.
Finally got some news from Kordan.
That is, the Tubo people secretly learned how to make hot air balloons in the Tang Dynasty.
Although the cloth used to make hot-air balloons is now strictly controlled and will not be leaked out.
But there are always more solutions than difficulties. The Tubo people are not all fools. They directly used silk to press the frame of the hot air balloon, and then brushed it with gum over and over again, and used several coal stoves to put it together. Together, they serve as a source of power to generate heat.
Although it is not as easy to use as Datang’s hot air balloon, it is no problem if it is just a short-distance flight.
At that time, their dead soldiers would ride in hot air balloons to launch a raid on the gunpowder depot from above at night. The Tang Dynasty never thought that Tibet would copy their hot air balloons and descend from the sky, so there was basically no defense for those above their heads.
Without knowing it, it is really possible for the other party to succeed.
Tang Ping broke into a cold sweat while using his headset outside.
When these things were given at that time, he and Li Shimin naturally tried every means to guard against them, but they still underestimated that some smart people in this era could find new ways.
"But how did you know the location of the Chang'an gunpowder depot?" Gou Shaoqun asked puzzledly, because the gunpowder depot was not interesting, and even he didn't know where the gunpowder depot was.
"Some time ago, another group of us found more than ten kinds of materials for preparing gunpowder. Many of them were purchased from outside the gunpowder depot. We purchased a large number from the same place and found a reason to give the goods to Pushed.”
Tang Ping was stunned. Wasn't this the work of the people in the courtyard who reported the bronze monument incident in the city last time?
At that time, there were reports that they bought a lot of saltpeter, and I was still wondering why they bought so much saltpeter in winter.
But if these things are returned, no one can be hidden inside.
Gou Shaoqun asked Tang Ping's question again, and Kordan shrugged: "I know about this. I broke several eggs in those materials at that time."
"Bird egg?"
"Yes, there is a kind of bird egg. After drying, you can't see anything, but the bird can smell it. Our people estimated that after the materials were purchased to the gunpowder depot in Chang'an, they grabbed them The birds were let go.”
"Those birds can smell things that we people can't smell. Soon our people found that they were always hovering over an area, but there were probably too many people down there, so they didn't dare to go down."
"We also know that the people in the Chang'an Gunpowder Warehouse all entered through a secret passage. In fact, our people already knew where the entrance to the secret passage is, and the location where those birds are circling is not far from there, so we I guessed that the gunpowder warehouse must be there!"
Tang Ping and Gou Shaoqun were stunned when they heard these words. It was not surprising that they could find the entrance to the secret passage. After all, Li Tai and many people working inside always had to come out. They were following them when they went back. It’s considered normal.
I just didn't expect that they didn't have high-tech equipment, but they could come up with such a method to find the location of the gunpowder magazine.
"Where are your dead soldiers? Where are they?"
Kordan shook his head: "I don't know. Only Kurban and Tuniyaz in your video just know where they are, but the methods you used on me and Alimu are useless. They are the ones who killed Zamp." Zhong, and without his family in Zamp’s hands, they will never take refuge in you.”
