"Did it on purpose?! You mean someone stole the general's order?"
"Yes. As far as I know, more than 500 boxes of firecrackers were stolen from the Chengxi Firecracker Factory. It would be impossible to transport so many firecrackers overnight without enough manpower. In addition, such a large-scale operation is impossible. It is impossible for the soldiers on night patrol not to notice this action. Therefore, I suspect..."
"Did someone steal the general's order and mobilize the city's patrol troops to transport the firecrackers?"
There was silence in the room for a moment, and then suddenly the sound of footsteps was heard. Pan Suxuan hurriedly hid behind the pillar, and Liu Chaozhong also hid in the darkness. As soon as the door opened, Chen Yixin walked out of the room, looked out, and saw no one else around, then she gently closed the door.
"There is no one outside, father, just tell me."
"Not many people know about the general's order to mobilize the patrol force, and there is only one person who knows about it and can come in and out of my room without being suspected..."
"Father, do you suspect he is Manager Wang?"
"I'm afraid there will be no one else but her."
"My daughter also feels that she seems to be in a trance and has many thoughts recently. She originally thought it was due to the busy affairs in the house, but she didn't expect that she would rebel? It's just..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that my daughter really can't figure out why a group of them would steal a firecracker factory?"
Chen Xiaotian was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Have you ever heard of thunder and fire bombs?"
"Thunder and fire bomb? When I was a child, I heard my master Ning Yuan say that this thunder and fire bomb is one of the three major weapons in martial arts. It ignites when exposed to external force and is indestructible with water. If it touches a person, it will attach to the bones and devour the muscles. In the end, all that was left was a skeleton."
Chen Xiaotian said: "Exactly, thunder and fire bombs are extremely powerful and destructive. Fifty years ago, the giant dragon gang of Jiangnan, which was in great power for a while, was massacred by them. More than 2,000 people in the gang were killed and more than a dozen were killed." Only one person managed to escape, but everyone else was turned into charcoal. The scene was really like hell on earth, so miserable! According to the people nearby, the fire burned for five days, and the strange fragrance could be smelled within a hundred miles. My index fingers move and my lips and teeth are filled with saliva. That aroma is none other than the smell of roasted human flesh."
Chen Yixin was shocked: "Who is responsible for such a tragedy?"
Chen Xiaotian said: "Thunder Fire Bomb is the ancestral secret skill of the Xun family in Shu. As soon as this incident came out, everyone thought it was the work of Xun Shi. Therefore, the remaining members of the Julong Gang invited their close friends to go to Shu to kill Xun Shi. More than two hundred people were slaughtered from top to bottom, even the infant babies were not spared."
Chen Yixin exclaimed: "Don't the government care about such evil behavior?!"
Chen Xiaotian said: "Most of the people involved in this matter were Jianghu people. They were not weak in martial arts and had no fixed residence. It was really difficult to catch them. The government also arrested more than a dozen people and beheaded them in public afterwards, but most of them were minor characters, and the real mastermind was He has never been caught.”
"Since the Xunshi clan is no longer in the world, then the thunder and fire bomb has also been lost?"
"I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case. I suspect that the theft of the firecracker factory in the west of the city is probably related to the thunder bomb."
"Father, you mean someone stole the firecrackers and wanted to make thunder bombs?"
Chen Xiaotian did not answer directly, but asked: "Where is Wang Rong now?"
Chen Yixin replied: "We are preparing for the competition at the foot of Qinglong Mountain."
Chen Xiaotian said: "You must not let Wang Rong know about Mr. Li's visit to the house. As a father, I also want to see if Wang Rong has second thoughts."
Chen Yixin hesitated for a moment and said: "If Wang Rong is really involved in the firecracker factory, how should we deal with it?"
Chen Xiaotian said: "Leave it to Mr. Li and deal with it impartially!"
Pan Suxuan thought to himself: "The old general is still so selfless and not interested in selfish interests."
Chen Xiaotian continued: "It's getting late. You should go and have a rest. We will set off at dawn." Then, as soon as the door opened, Chen Yixin walked out of the room and walked outside.
After Chen Yixin walked away, Liu Chaozhong emerged from the darkness. Seeing that the candles in Chen Xiao's room were out, he quietly returned to his room.
Pan Suxuan hid behind the pillar and thought to himself: "Since the old general already knows about the thunder and fire bombs, I might as well take this opportunity to inform the old man Tianqi's conspiracy so that the old general can be prepared in advance." He was about to step out. , suddenly heard the sound of the door behind me, and without having time to think about it, I turned around quickly, hid under the stone steps and watched with a blink of an eye.
I saw a figure moving in front of me, and came outside Chen Xiaotian's house. He knocked on the door three times. The door opened in response, and the figure entered the house in a flash.
Pan Suxuan thought to himself: "Who is this person? Why did you come to General Chen's room in the middle of the night?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hold his breath and cautiously came to the window.
I heard two people in the room whispering softly: "Liu Chaozhong is gone?" "He is gone, he has no doubt at all."
"Very good, go ahead as planned after dawn... What's wrong with you?"
"Father, I have been thinking these days... would this be too cruel?"
"Do you pity Wang Rong or do you feel sorry for those people?"
"They...can't bear to let go. Father, Manager Wang and those people are all innocent."
"Of course I know that. But as the saying goes, those who achieve great things do not stick to small details. How can great things be achieved without sacrifice?"
"But...but after all, these are thousands of lives, and my daughter really can't bear to see them perished in the flames."
"Everyone is destined to die. Their death can resolve a catastrophe, which is considered to be heavier than Mount Tai."
"But……"
"Yixin, you must not be kind to a woman! Now the King of Qi is self-respecting and has good relations with all the vassal kings. There is also the eunuch Wang Kai in the court. He has coveted the throne for a long time. It is only a matter of time before he starts a rebellion. Do you think Just think, if a war broke out, more than a thousand people would be killed or injured?"
"Father, I think if you come forward and call on Mr. Li and other loyal ministers to jointly declare this matter, how can the Holy One just sit back and do nothing?"
"Sigh... Your Majesty is so smart, how could you not see that King Qi has rebellious intentions? It's just that he has many followers in the court. If he acts rashly, he will be frightened and forced to rebel. There are only more than 20,000 imperial guards in the capital. In the hands of King Qi But there are 200,000 troops. With ten to one, even if we hold on to the city, we won’t be able to hold on for twenty days. By then, even if our army rushes thousands of miles to help, it will probably be too late.”
"Having said that, is it difficult...isn't there any other way?"
"The only plan now is to use this disaster to pre-emptively capture the old man Tianqi and others alive in the name of hunting down the culprits, so that the wolf ambition of King Qi will be made public. My father will mobilize the troops from the Jiangnan camp to attack him and beat him. We were caught off guard. In this way, our righteous actions are the king's orders, and the vassal kings everywhere will not dare to act rashly. As long as they do not help the king of Qi, and there is no help for his wrongdoing, the rebellion can be put down."
"It's a pity that so many people in Jinling have to be buried with King Qi's ambition!"
"There is no other way. Now the situation has come to a point where we have to lose our pawns to save our chariot!"
