Chapter 223 Hidden Explosives
After Zhang Hao heard Hu Yinglan's words, he was stunned for a while. Then I slowly realized, "Blow up Nine Suns Sect? That... Sister Hu, although I haven't seen Nine Suns Sect's mountain gate with my own eyes, let's not say how big Nine Suns Sect's mountain gate is for the time being.
Let's just talk about the Great Elder of Nine Suns Sect. It is said that he is a master in the stage of transforming gods.
If we blow up the Nine Suns Sect, I'm afraid the Zhang family won't survive the next day! "
Hu Yinglan looked at Zhang Hao without speaking, but her eyes were firm: I am not joking with you.
But Zhang Hao also looked at Hu Yinglan and didn't speak. Blow up Nine Suns Sect? It's not realistic. This is not something that can be decided by patting your head. The Nine Suns Sect is not the Xinglin Hall, it is an existence older than the Qixia Kingdom, and it is not a soft persimmon.
Looking at each other for a long time, Hu Yinglan snorted again: "Coward."
Zhang Hao shook his head: "This is not a coward, but out of a rational consideration. Inside and even around the Nine Suns Sect, there must be dragons and tigers' lairs!
I think that Jiuyangzong should be isolated and besieged now.
Although Nine Suns Sect is powerful, it also needs to communicate with the outside world. If we encircle but do not attack, Nine Yang Sect will gradually decline. If the Nine Suns Sect takes the initiative to attack, we will eliminate them on the periphery and when the Nine Suns Sect does not have an advantage.
It's time for us to make a general attack when the vitality of Nine Yang Sect is almost wiped out.
In fact, the most important thing is that we need time now. The Zhang Family needs time to develop, and Qixia Country also needs time to breathe. "
Hu Yinglan looked at Zhang Hao again for a long time, then snorted again, "It sounds reasonable. How about it, how about you and I go to see the regent?"
Zhang Hao thought for a while and nodded. "Alright, I just have a lot of things that I need to discuss with the princess... Cough cough, the regent should discuss it. It just so happens that I have three people from my side to recommend to the regent."
"Who?" Hu Yinglan was very vigilant. Now that the princess has just taken the regent, the Qixia Kingdom is in chaos, and it can't stand any more troubles.
Zhang Hao smiled: "Don't worry, he must be a useful person. Are you still worried that I will be bad for the regent?"
Hu Yinglan looked at Zhang Hao for a while, then suddenly thought of something, and smiled mysteriously. "Okay, you can bring people there. But let me tell you first, the people you bring are not allowed to get close to the regent. And if something goes wrong, you are the only one to ask!"
"Of course."
Zhang Hao fully agreed, and turned back to take Xu Jie, Yan Qing, Zheng You and Hu Yinglan to the imperial capital.
Before leaving, Zhang Hao looked back at his front door, and suddenly felt a little emotional—in fact, I just want to develop quietly, practice cultivation by the way, and achieve longevity, but I can't always calm down.
Hu Yinglan took out the talisman of the wind escape technique, and Zhang Hao and others quickly flew away in a gust of wind; every time they advanced a certain distance, Hu Yinglan added the talisman of the wind escape technique, and the flying speed was as fast as lightning.
In just ten minutes, Zhang Hao saw Ninghe County flashing by; and then he walked all the way to watch the flowers, but he also enjoyed the joy of the harvest on the vast farmland. Before you know it, it's autumn harvest time.
After more than two hours of wind and lightning, a magnificent city appeared in front of Zhang Hao. Three large characters of "Guangling City" hang high above the gate of the city, and there are three smaller characters below: West City Gate.
Compared with the Yunguan Customs, the capital of the Jinyang Kingdom, and the Jingshan City of the Jinyang Kingdom that Zhang Hao saw, they are still slightly insufficient. But the thick blue-black color brought thickness and arrogance to Guangling City.
This is a city wall built with black rocks, almost fifteen feet high, that is, about fifty meters. Such a majestic city wall is like a green dragon, stretching across the field of vision, much higher than the surrounding hills.
The city walls are full of traces of time, covered with mottled moss, rose, creeper and other vines. But these plants can only climb to a height of twenty or thirty meters.
On the surface of the city wall, faint waves of formation emerged, and a hazy light almost enveloped the entire sky above the city.
"In front is the imperial capital and Guangling City." Hu Yinglan pointed to the front with some pride—bumpkins, be shocked.
I didn't want Zheng You to read it, but said with a little disappointment: "This city is not big... woo woo..."
Xu Jie covered Zheng You's mouth, and said with a sneer, "Sorry, sorry, my friend can talk nonsense, don't mind."
Several black lines appeared on Hu Yinglan's head, and she stopped introducing Guangling City, and led everyone forward with a dull head. After entering the imperial capital, they walked forward for about six or seven miles along the road paved with bluestone slabs, and everyone stopped under a magnificent city wall again.
Compared with the outer city, the inner city is much shorter, but the formations on the city wall are denser, and the ripples of the formations faintly shimmer with a metallic luster. The soldiers who have been patrolling the gates of the city wall are at least in the foundation building period.
"The people here are all guards." Hu Yinglan explained coldly, and took the lead to walk forward. Immediately someone came out to check Hu Yinglan's identity and so on.
After a lot of effort, Zhang Hao finally entered the inner city. When Zhang Hao went to the Kingdom of Jinyang last time, he failed to enter the inner city, that is, the imperial palace. This time, Zhang Hao finally saw what the palace of the world looked like.
Behind the city wall, there are row upon row of rough and magnificent buildings. There is no imaginary luxury, but more simplicity; but there is an indescribable domineering in the simplicity.
All the buildings are sharp-edged and unyielding, with few soft elements to be seen. The foundation is green and black rock. Although the pillars and beams of the gate are vermilion, most of the carvings on them are in the shape of tigers and dragons.
On the raised eaves, there are roaring chi kisses. The legendary nine sons of the dragon are shaped like a Sirius howling at the moon.
The roof of the palace building is not golden glazed tiles, but a thick, almost blue-black color of the deep sea.
Surrounded by guards in black armor, their weapons were either spears or spears, and the blades of the weapons gleamed coldly.
Being in such a palace, an indescribable fighting spirit suddenly rose in Zhang Hao's heart. Faintly Zhang Hao understood why the princess had such a strong character.
But Zhang Hao is also very curious, under such an environment, how can a person like the prince be created?
Zhang Hao didn't know about the coup in the palace yet, but at least he knew: the former prince was a piece of mud that couldn't support the wall! Dead... pretty good!
As Zhang Hao walked and observed, he became more and more amazed.
Rugged and majestic, thick and domineering, but simple but implies a fighting spirit. This is not like a palace, more like a general's mansion. Thinking of the environment of Qixia Kingdom, Zhang Hao had to nod in admiration.
After a series of chaos, under the sudden attack of the Kingdom of Jinyang, the Kingdom of Qixia still persevered and maintained sufficient combat power. This was no accident.
A country that can abandon luxury and enjoyment, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and always be prepared to deal with everything, such a country is difficult to be easily defeated.
Zhang Hao felt that it was the right time to come today. Seeing such a palace, Zhang Hao suddenly had an indescribable confidence: the country of Qixia will surely defeat the country of Jinyang!
Hu Yinglan did not take Zhang Hao to the main meeting hall. At this time, the super meeting had already ended and it was almost noon. A female guard came over and explained to Hu Yinglan, and Hu Yinglan took Zhang Hao and others to the east side of the palace.
After walking for a while, I came to a beautiful imperial garden. On the rockery in the center of the imperial garden, there was a simple and fresh gazebo, and a domineering figure was sitting in the gazebo.
Zhang Hao's eyes widened in shock. The figure in the gazebo is obviously Princess Liu Xinyu. But at this time, she was wearing a black uniform and was discussing something with the prime ministers and other important officials standing on both sides.
The black gown is very heavy, and the faint gold thread outlines a looming phoenix, revealing a domineering aura that cannot be described in words. Liu Xinyu's temperament underwent an indescribable sublimation under the phoenix pattern.
Seeing Liu Xinyu like this, Zhang Hao suddenly had a strange thought: This dress fits very well! It seems that Liu Xinyu was born to wear such clothes.
Hu Yinglan asked Zhang Hao and the others to wait at the gate of the Imperial Garden, and she walked quickly to report. Liu Xinyu looked up at Zhang Hao and the others, and nodded. Hu Yinglan walked back with small steps and invited Zhang Hao and the others to come over.
Walking through the path covered with petals, passing the rough stone bridge without any carvings, startled a few birds, stepped firmly on the rockery, and walked into the pavilion. Zhang Hao once again saw Liu Xinyu up close.
Zhang Hao brought Xu Jie and the three together to meet the regent.
Liu Xinyu slowly raised her head and swept away. At this time, Liu Xinyu's expression was indescribably indifferent. Finally, she stared at Zhang Hao for a while, with a faint smile on her face, and said slowly: "This time, I am so happy. Great victory in Changjun, I am very grateful to the Zhang family for their dedication. I am also very grateful to the Zhang family for their support to the country in the past few months.
I heard that the artillery contributed a lot to the Xingchang County victory. I don't know if you can explain the artillery? "
Several officials around also looked at Zhang Hao curiously.
Zhang Hao was already prepared, and immediately took out two kinds of gunpowder from the storage ring, and took out a small iron pipe to demonstrate on the spot. As for shells... just use firecrackers.
In the end, Liu Xinyu personally took two firecrackers and held them in the palm of his hand to test. One was made of ordinary black powder, and the other was made of spiritualized high-grade explosives.
An ordinary firecracker exploded in Liu Xinyu's hands, Liu Xinyu shook his head slightly and opened his palms.
This is the first time Zhang Hao has seen Liu Xinyu's palm, which is not as tender as an ordinary girl. On her palm, there are faint, dark yellow calluses. Although very light.
As for the traces of the gunpowder explosion, only a faint gray-white trace was left.
Then Liu Xinyu ignited high-grade explosives to make firecrackers, but there was a bang, and two groups of flames shot out from Liu Xinyu's clenched fist. When he flicked his palm away, a wound appeared on his palm. She didn't protect her palm with real energy.
What Zhang Hao saw was frightening - such a woman made countless men feel ashamed!
Liu Xinyu took the gauze towel and wiped his palms, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes. This is only two grams of explosives, and the shell is still made of paper. A few kilograms of explosives and a shell made of steel are enough to bring Jin Danqi back to life." Come lethal.
Zhang Hao, how many cannons and shells can the Zhang family mobilize within ten days? Count Xingchang County. "
Zhang Hao was puzzled, why ask this? But after thinking about it, he still gave the answer: "It is expected that there will be 25 to 30 artillery pieces, and the number of shells will reach about 2,000."
Liu Xinyu asked again: "If you don't make cannonballs, but firecrackers like this one, just make the big ones, make them one hundred and two catties, and don't need to think about precise production. How much can you make in ten days?"
"This?" Zhang Hao looked dull. Isn't this a bomb, but after thinking for a while, he said, "This kind of thing has almost no technical content. In ten days, we should be able to make more than a thousand."
Liu Xinyu nodded. He took out a little more gunpowder and observed it for a while, then said, "This gunpowder should be easy to imitate, right?"
Zhang Hao's face became serious: "If my predictions are correct, the Kingdom of Jinyang may have imitated gunpowder. They may not be able to make artillery, but if they are made into bombs like firecrackers, there is still no problem."
Prime Minister Ouyang Si finally spoke: "If this is the case, the country of Danyang will be in danger. The country of Jinyang will definitely use explosives to deal with the country of Danyang, and the current situation of the country of Danyang cannot stop the explosives at all.
I'm afraid that it won't be long before the country of Danyang will perish.
And once the kingdom of Danyang falls, the next target of the kingdom of Jinyang must be us! "
Liu Xinyu's complexion also changed. After pondering for a while, she slowly said: "This time the peace talks and the exchange of prisoners...we have to do some contingencies."
