When the "dry wood" hit the ground, it made as much noise as a big stone falling, causing a large area of mud and water all around.
I can still feel the vibration of the ground it hit on my feet in the sleepless night.
He asked calmly: "Is this dry firewood? Whose dry firewood is so heavy?"
The little guy looked sad and said innocently: "The big boss also knows that it is heavy, but the dog Taibao doesn't know! It's dry firewood, dry firewood, the most important thing is that there is no water. Without water, no matter how heavy it is, it will almost crush the little one." Got it!"
Ye Wumian remained silent, a cold light flashed from the dragon-scaled iron scabbard sword in his hand, and there was a "chih-yang" sound, and the "dry wood" was immediately split into two halves.
"Crackling", many stones, powder, soil and other objects were scattered from the middle of the "dry firewood".
Ye Wumian knelt down, picked up a handful of the mixture, and sniffed it to his nose.
His expression suddenly changed.
"There's a pungent, choking smell. Is this... saltpeter?"
His body trembled.
From the other side of the rain curtain, a sneer came, and it was the voice of Manager Wu: "Haha, King Zhang, now you finally have a clue? Forget it, I won't pretend anymore."
Manager Wu laughed and said: "These stupid guys under your command, together with our Jinyiwei people, are carrying bundle after bundle, pile after pile, I'm afraid they have already transported thousands of kilograms of explosives up the mountain!"
The sound was extremely penetrating, piercing the rain curtain and shaking every raindrop.
At that time, many minions heard the word "dynamite" clearly, and there was a sound of panic.
Ye Wumian was about to speak when he heard a burst of crackling explosions coming from far away from the mountain.
The sound was not the sound of explosives, but rather like the explosion of firecrackers gathered together. It was muffled in the rain, as if it was a final song sung by life.
It only rang for a while and then stopped, leaving only the last lingering echo in the mountains and valleys.
Ye Wumian suddenly understood and thought to himself: "I'm afraid the two eunuchs who were ambushing beside the official road were in danger and blew off firecrackers as a warning!"
"It's really embarrassing for them. It will take a lot of effort to light a bunch of wet firecrackers."
While he was thinking, Director Wu walked out of the darkness, raised a long sword with his left hand, put his right hand on the hilt, ready to draw it out, and shouted loudly:
"Where are the Jinyiwei? Capture Zhang Daqiu alive, flatten the Black Elk Peak, make great achievements, and make a wife and son, just tonight!"
"bass!"
The long sword came out of its box, gleaming with cold light.
On the tip of the sword, a sharp edge emerged, as bright as the Big Dipper stars, guiding the Jinyi captain lurking in the crowd.
Almost at the same time, bursts of sounds of drawing knives and swords were drawn one after another, followed closely by the painful groans of people, the roars after reaction, the sounds of confrontation, the sounds of swords clashing, and Sounds of running away, exclamations, and screams.
Various sounds were heard one after another.
The entire darkened high chair slope suddenly became a mess.
After the Jin Yiwei lurking among the bandits ignited the first bundle of explosives, the chaos reached a climax.
It was raining in the sky and explosions were happening on the ground without disturbing each other.
When there was an explosion, the firelight illuminated Ye Wumian's face, which suddenly lit up and turned pale.
In his hand, he wielded the long sword with a dragon scale iron scabbard, making powerful killing moves frequently and showing no mercy.
It can be said that if you stab it out, you will see blood, and if you cut it off, you will see the head.
The captain in Jinyi wanted to sneak up on him, but he killed several of them in succession.
Perhaps at this time, he can no longer be called a "Jinyi" captain.
In order to complete tonight's raid plan, Jin Yiwei arranged for a spy to sneak into Black Elk Peak very early.
That man was also a strange person. After taking over the gang in Ye Wumian, he actually became one of the Thirteen Taibao, the same Taibao who went down the mountain to buy firewood last night.
This spy, the Taibao, used the excuse of going down the mountain to buy firewood, but in fact he was setting up an inside job.
He first killed all the minions who were following him and replaced them with people from Jin Yiwei; then, he mixed explosives and other items into the dry firewood he bought, and transported them up to Black Elk Peak.
To go to Black Elk Peak, you have to trick bandits into transporting explosives. Naturally, these Jinyi captains cannot wear Jinyiwei uniforms. They are all bandits.
Therefore, from Ye Wumian's perspective, it is completely unclear who is the Jinyi Colonel and who is the thief.
The only option was to kill those who attacked him as Jin Yiwei.
He draws his sword like a demon and drinks blood like a madman.
A poem from the Tang Dynasty puts it best: One sword frost-freezes fourteen states.
At this moment, his moves also have the charm of two or three points.
…
The sword did not flinch at all, but his heart was filled with fear.
Now that I think about it, from the time Zhang Daqiu received that letter, Jin Yiwei's layout was already in place.
On the one hand, they sent undercover agents to sneak into Black Elk Peak, and on the other hand, they selected candidates to pretend to be peddlers and prepared "props" such as explosives and weapons.
As soon as everything was ready, he took advantage of the "response" opportunity created by the letter, pretended to be a salesman, followed Zhang Daqiu, and successfully sneaked into Black Elk Peak.
Thus, at a very small cost, the Black Elk Gang can be wiped out from the inside out.
As for the letter, it is unknown whether it was written by Jin Yiwei forging Luo Fanxi's handwriting, or whether it was a real letter that was intercepted by Jin Yiwei and used it as a trick.
At least Jin Yiwei's goal has been achieved.
The funny thing is that originally this matter had nothing to do with Sleepless Night. Jin Yiwei's plans were all aimed at Zhang Daqiu.
Helplessly, he was concerned about the cause of Luo Fanxi's death, so in order to communicate with Manager Wu, he pretended to be Zhang Daqiu.
Now, he has to endure this series of cause and effect.
This makes future generations unable to help but recite the famous line from "A Dream of Red Mansions":
When the false becomes true, the true is also false, and there is something inaction and nothingness.
At this moment, Ye Wumian wanted to take off the mask on his face immediately and shout loudly: "I am not going to make a big show!"
However, the difference between Li Kui and Li Gui may not be what Jin Yiwei cares about.
All they want is a result, that is, to capture a bandit with a mole on his face and bring him back with a big ball, and then they can make a deal.
As for the true face beneath the mole, who cares?
If Ye Wumian takes off his false face to prove his innocence, countless people with lofty ideals from the Imperial Guard will put it on again for him.
Ye Wuxian came from the north and heard about the military affairs on the border.
In the border areas where royal law is lax, killing good people and taking credit for their merits is widespread.
What a shame for the good people, but they also suffered unexpected disasters; not to mention themselves, they were pretending to be thieves and bandits.
At this moment, a sense of absurdity, comedy, the impermanence of life's destiny, and the loss after the tragedy and comedy are over, gradually rise from the deepest part of the heart and hit the ceiling again.
With one sword strike after another, he cut off the heads of the Jinyi captain one after another.
The last expressions frozen on those heads seemed to be mocking him.
Even the blood light was ridiculously unreal.
Just when he was in despair, a surprised voice came out from next to Manager Wu amid the noise.
One person said loudly: "Qian Qianhu! Look at the comrades killed by that thief. The fatal wounds on their bodies are not similar to the wounds on Master Boning!"
I boldly speculated that the real culprit who killed Mr. Boning was Thief Zhang! "
