Ma Desheng was doubtful after hearing this, and turned to Li Zhun and asked, "Is that true? Are you here to see me about the thunder and fire bombs?"
Li Zhun nodded and whispered: "This is a serious matter, so I hope the general will not spread the word."
Ma Desheng thought: "Am I overthinking it? Are they not here to complain?"
Seeing Ma Desheng still didn't believe it, Liu Chaozhong turned around and called a sergeant. "General Ma, who do you think this is?"
Ma Desheng saw that the person coming was quite handsome, and he did look familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen him.
The sergeant saw Ma Desheng looking at him with doubts on his face, and smiled and said: "General Ma, I am Liang Yehan, the white-clothed protector of Caixia Palace. I came to the General's Mansion with senior brother Li Wanji. You should take us to meet him." General, have you forgotten?"
Ma Desheng took a closer look and recognized that it was Liang Yehan disguised as a man. He smiled and said, "Nvxia Liang, I really didn't recognize you when you put on this outfit."
Liang Yehan said: "I did this to avoid being noticed. There are many rebellious parties in Jinling City now, and I cannot let them discover my whereabouts."
Seeing Ma Desheng nod his head, Liang Yehan continued: "General Ma, we are indeed here because of the thunder and fire bombs. Please give the general a quick shout-out."
"Since Liang Yehan said so, it seems that they are really here to find Thunder Fire Bomb." Thinking of this, Ma Desheng hurriedly said: "Okay, please follow me!"
Ma Desheng led Li Zhun and others to the front of Deqing Hall and went in on his own to report. After a while, servants came out to welcome everyone into the hall.
Chen Xiaotian had been waiting in the hall for a long time. When he saw Li Zhun and Liu Chaozhong coming together, he was inevitably doubtful and thought to himself: "Could it be that they came because of the conflict between the patrol army and the guards in the mansion?" Although he thought so in his heart, his face still remained. With a smile on his face, he asked: "Master Li, why do you come to my humble residence late at night?"
Hearing Chen Xiaotian's strange tone, Li Zhun felt trembling in his heart, and thought to himself: "Is it possible that he has a grudge against me because I disturbed his sweet dream?" After thinking about it, he felt something was wrong again, "I have always heard that General Chen is very open-minded. He is approachable and would not care about such trivial matters. If it were not this matter, what would it be?"
Although Li Zhun was upright, he was not ignorant of officialdom. Now he had broken with Kou Huairen's party, and the only person he could rely on in Jinling was Chen Xiaotian. Especially now that the enemy is facing a formidable enemy, without the support of Chen Xiaotian, it would be difficult for the people under Jinling Mansion alone to compete with the rebels.
Therefore, when he heard that Chen Xiaotian's words were wrong, Li Zhun hurriedly laughed and said: "I am reckless and disturbed the general's rest. I am really guilty. I hope the general will forgive me."
"It's easy to say, easy to say. Both I and Mr. Li are officials in Jinling, and the escort battalion and patrol force are the backbone of guarding Jinling. At this moment, we are comrades in the trenches. Why should Mr. Li be so polite to me?"
Chen Xiaotian first expressed his attitude, defining the patrol army and the escort battalion as a family. Even if there was a conflict between the two, it was a family matter. If Li Zhun insisted on bringing it up, Chen Xiaotian would be a powerful enemy and should be unanimously dismissed. After the matter was pressed, as time went by, the matter became unresolved.
When Li Zhun heard this, although he didn't know what Chen Xiaotian meant, he finally felt a little relieved and nodded: "The general is absolutely right. Now that the situation is urgent, our two families should indeed join forces to fight against the enemy. Today, I will be late at night That’s exactly what I’m nagging about.”
When Chen Xiaotian heard this, he was quite surprised. He twirled his beard and said, "Sir, please speak. I am all ears."
Li Zhun said: "General, does he know what caused the explosion in the martial arts arena?"
Chen Xiaotian pretended not to know and asked: "It is said to be a very powerful gunpowder. What did Mr. Li find out?"
Li Zhun said: "The official found out that this is a unique explosive called a thunder bomb. It is not only very powerful, but also inextinguishable when exposed to water. Once it burns, the fire will only be extinguished if all nearby combustibles are burned out. "
When Chen Xiaotian heard this, he pretended to be surprised and said: "Really? How could such evil things appear in Jinling City?"
Li Zhun said: "Xiaguan sent people to check the entry and exit of items in the city in the past six months, but no suspicious phenomena were found, so Xiaguan suspected..."
"Master Li, you mean that this thunder and fire bomb was produced in Jinling City?"
Li Zhun nodded and said sternly: "So far, this is indeed the case. Moreover, the official believes that the theft of the firecracker factory in the east of the city some time ago is closely related to the thunder bomb."
Chen Xiaotian thought to himself: "Yixin and I performed a play in the inner hall of Xuanzang Hall that day. Liu Chaozhong saw it clearly from beginning to end. He will tell you everything exactly when he goes back. Now you are doing the opposite." If you use words to trick me, if I say something different, wouldn’t the previous drama be in vain?”
Thinking of this, he twirled his beard and said: "I have also questioned why those rogue gangs stole firecrackers? Now it seems that they used these firecrackers as raw materials to make thunder bombs.
Li Zhun saw that there was no discrepancy between what Chen Xiaotian said and what Liu Chaozhong told him, so he felt relieved and said to himself: "It seems that Liu Chaozhong didn't lie, so what he just told me should probably be the truth."
"As the general expected, these gangsters stole 300 boxes of firecrackers and made about 60 boxes of thunder bombs. They detonated about 30 boxes at the ring. It is now conservatively estimated that the gangsters have at least 60 more boxes of firecrackers. Thirty boxes of thunder and fire bombs.”
"Thirty boxes?!" Chen Xiaotian was shocked after hearing this. He originally thought that with himself as bait, Old Man Tianqi and Jing Nian would use all the thunder and fire bombs to get rid of him. Unexpectedly, they actually kept one hand and only used half of them. It blew up the arena. If this is true, these thirty boxes of thunder and fire bombs are enough to blow up the entire Jinling.
"How can Mr. Li be sure that the rebels still have extra thunder and fire bombs? And there are still thirty boxes?"
Li Zhun replied: "This matter is so important that I dare not speak nonsense. The number of these thirty boxes was told to me by the guests at your house."
"A guest in my house? May I ask who it is?"
Li Zhun stepped aside, and a sergeant came up, bowed and saluted: "This is the old general. Liang Yehan, the white-robed protector of Caixia Palace, is here to pay his respects to you."
Chen Xiaotian took a closer look and felt that he had seen the handsome sergeant in front of him before, but he had no impression of him. The day when Liang Yehan and Li Wanji arrived in Jinling happened to be the last day of the competition to recruit a bride. Chen Xiaotian was busy arranging all the matters. He only glanced at Liang and Li briefly before rushing to the ring.
Today I saw Liang Yehan claiming to be the white-robed protector of Caixia Palace. I couldn't help but feel shocked and asked hurriedly: "This young hero is a white-robed protector at such a young age. It's really remarkable! May I ask who the respected master is?"
"Old General, I'm very grateful. My mentor is Elder Shenghuo, one of the four elders."
When Chen Xiaotian heard this, he thought to himself: "Wang Yun, Wang Yun, did you send your disciples here to monitor me? It seems that you still don't believe me! Well, even if you don't help me, it's best Don’t bother me, just sit back and watch how I win this final victory!”
