Chapter 2 Gunpowder
Wang Cai and Xiao Shuiling soon arrived in Donglai Town.
Of course, Wang Cai couldn't just think about eating snacks and visiting shops with Xiao Shuiling. He also had to do the things the general ordered. He didn't know anything about gunpowder.
Fortunately, Xiao Shuiling was a member of the martial arts world, and gunpowder was considered a type of weapon. He had a more or less understanding of it, so he took Wang Cai around to look for stores. What he bought this time were samples, in various formats, and in a variety of ways.
I bought all the prices and let the general decide when I get back.
There was too much gunpowder, both in bags and balls, that Wang Cai couldn't carry in his hands, so he simply put it on his body or put it in his arms.
Wang Cai held a heavy iron ball in his hand and asked doubtfully: "Miss Xiao, do you think this boss is telling lies? Such a small iron ball can blow up a house?"
Xiao Shuiling shrugged: "I don't know either. Maybe, gunpowder is really powerful." Thinking of the Xuanwu Hall that was blown to pieces, she couldn't help but said this. She also looked at him who was bloated with gunpowder on his body.
He looked like a man and said with a smile: "When did Mr. Wang gain weight? This is how he behaves like a landlord."
When Wang Cai heard this, he held his head high, took a step forward, and imitated the words of a rich man: "Miss Xiao, it's time to pay the land rent this year! Don't say anything, just bring the money!"
Xiao Shuiling heard this and said, "Oh, Mr. Wang, the harvest is really not good this year. Can we pay the land rent next year?"
Wang Caidao: "It works! But the donkey is rolling, and it will be doubled next year!"
Xiao Shuiling laughed and scolded: "Hmph! You are a rich man who exploits the people and is greedy for money. What's the use of you?! Watch me stab a hole in your body with my sword to eliminate harm for the people!"
Wang Cai was so frightened that he ran away: "Miss Xiao, please forgive me! I won't collect rent this year, okay?"
The two of them were quarreling all the way. When they were tired from walking, they went to a restaurant and teahouse to have a rest and have a cup of tea. This day was a great time.
Although Xiao Shuiling was happy, there was something hidden in her heart. She couldn't hide it from herself, she didn't love Wang Cai at all. These days, a man's face always appeared in her dreams, and she couldn't help but feel it in front of her eyes and in her heart.
Go. Even she herself was helpless. Maybe, like all the women in the world, she had fallen deeply in love with Murong Yujin.
But all of this is in the eyes of Wei Changqing, Li Aotian and Situ Jiannan.
Li Aotian said: "I said, can we start now?"
Wei Changqing said: "That's almost it. I don't think they did anything strange this day. They probably have no defense against us. If we start now, we will definitely succeed."
Situ Jiannan said: "However, after all, this Xiao Shuiling is difficult to deal with. We should wait until they leave the city and go to a sparsely populated area before we attack. We can also hide our identities."
The three of them agreed to continue following the two of them secretly.
Perhaps the martial arts of the three sect leaders were too high and they were very capable of concealment. In addition, Xiao Shuiling was totally unwary today and was still unaware of these three people.
The day passed quickly.
Wang Cai still had matters to attend to and had to go back to report to the general. There could be no further delay. The two of them set off back.
They were still joking all the way. But as they walked, Wang Cai was so tired that he was out of breath. Even with Xiao Shuiling helping him share the burden, he still felt that the gunpowder he bought was too much.
Seeing that this was not the way to go, Xiao Shuiling had an idea and said: "Master Wang, why not do this? I know there is a ruined temple nearby. We can go there first and put the gunpowder there, and then come back after you return to the military camp and find helpers."
Pick."
Wang Caidao: "But if I put it outside, will it be lost?"
Xiao Shuiling smiled: "Don't worry, few people go to that ruined temple. Besides, even if they go, the gunpowder is so heavy that it's not worth much money, and the thieves probably won't take it."
Wang Cai was overjoyed: "Okay, let's do it like this."
Soon, Xiao Shuiling and Wang Cai came to the ruined temple, put down the gunpowder all over their bodies, and covered it up with thatch. Finally, they felt relaxed.
The two breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked towards the military camp.
Halfway through, unexpectedly, three people suddenly jumped out of the dark woods on the roadside and blocked Xiao Shuiling.
Wang Cai was suddenly startled. The three people seemed to be sanctimonious, but when they came out at this time, they must have come with bad intentions.
Xiao Shuiling felt that something was wrong as soon as he saw it. How did these three masters get together? They were from this wilderness, so they were all suspicious. Moreover, these three people were not low in martial arts. Once they joined forces, they might not be their opponents. On the one hand,
Thinking about how to escape, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Aren't these Daoist Wei, Gang Leader Situ and Gang Leader Li? What a coincidence that the three of them are also out to play?"
Situ Jiannan smiled bitterly and said: "Miss Xiao, don't be ridiculous. In fact, when you saw the three of us appearing, you should have known our purpose. I also know that the three of us are martial arts seniors and leaders of the same faction, and we are working together to deal with you.
This little girl is really embarrassing. But there is nothing we can do about it. Since we are entrusted by others, we must be loyal to others."
Wei Changqing said: "Miss Xiao, I'm really sorry. The three of us had no choice but to do this. I wonder what the girl's last words were before her death?"
Xiao Shuiling said: "Since the three of them are all cheerful people, I won't say more. I want to ask, how did the three of them know that I will be here today? Who is it? No, is it Lin Yijian who sent the three
Come to kill me?"
The three heads looked at each other. Li Aotian said: "Miss Xiao, since the three of us have done such a despicable thing, and you are the one who is about to die, I will tell you. Yes, it was Alliance Leader Lin who sent us
Come. However, the alliance leader sent us to kill Wang Cai, not you. However, the alliance leader may have expected that you would be with Wang Cai, so he sent us with him."
Xiao Shuiling smiled bitterly and said, "I'm really proud of myself. The alliance leader wanted to kill me, but he actually asked three seniors to do it together."
Wang Cai was shocked after hearing this: "What, Mr. Lin wants to kill me?! Why?!"
Li Aotian said: "Isn't it true that the young master is meddling too much in things that shouldn't be taken care of? If it weren't for you, General Zhen would have sent troops to the Heavenly Girl Sect. How could we still have fought so hard in the last battle?"
Xiao Shuiling said sadly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, it's me who has caused you trouble."
Wang Caidao: "Miss Xiao, I don't blame you. Even without you, I would still beg the general not to send troops. Fighting wastes people and money, and it is the common people who suffer." He gritted his teeth and said: "Three seniors, since the person the alliance wants to kill is me.
, then you just kill me. Miss Xiao is an outsider and has nothing to do with her, please let her go!"
Xiao Shuiling was moved in her heart and said: "Master Wang, don't say stupid things. Lin Yijian has long regarded me as a thorn in his side. If they kill me, they will go back and receive another great achievement."
The three of them said: "Miss Xiao is right. Today, we must kill you. If you have any other wishes before leaving, I will give you a chance to tell them and we will try our best to help you fulfill them." They added: "Just treat it as the three of us.
The senior has bullied you and I am a junior to apologize."
Xiao Shuiling smiled: "The three of you are too confident."
The three of them were startled and laughed contemptuously: "Miss Xiao is too confident, right? This is not a boast. With the three of us joining forces, Leader Lin is no match for us!"
Xiao Shuiling clenched her teeth, and she was already prepared to fight desperately. "Those three gang leaders, you can give it a try." She turned around and whispered to Wang Cai: "Run quickly, I will try my best to hold them back!"
Wang Cai was shocked: "How can this be done! Miss Xiao, we must die together!"
Xiao Shuiling scolded: "Is it worth it to gain another life? Besides, if you are here, you can only hinder my hands and feet! Leave quickly!"
Wang Cai turned around and ran away!
Situ Jiannan said: "Want to leave? It's not that easy!" He flew to catch Wang Cai.
Xiao Shuiling's jade sword was unsheathed and stopped Situ Jiannan. Wei Changqing and Li Aotian rushed forward and attacked Xiao Shuiling together.
Xiao Shuiling fought one against three, and the dangers arose one after another. The fight was very difficult. Looking at Wang Cai, he saw that this weak scholar didn't know how to run fast.
Wei Changqing said: "Brother Situ, you go kill Wang Cai, Xiao Shuiling, Brother Li and I have dealt with them enough!"
Situ Jiannan pulled away to chase Wang Cai.
Xiao Shuiling was so anxious that she couldn't get away now. If he chased him, Wang Cai would definitely die! He must not be allowed to succeed! He felt so anxious that he could no longer control so much!
As if a spell had been cast, a red ribbon suddenly appeared from Xiao Shuiling's side! The red ribbon rolled out in all directions, stopping the two men's attack. He pulled out his hand, and several hidden weapons hit Situ Jiannan directly.
In this scene, Situ Jiannan, Wei Changqing and Li Aotian were all dumbfounded at the same time, shouting loudly: "You! You are the Holy Princess?!"
Xiao Shuiling gritted her teeth and said, "It's too late for you to know!" With a scream, the dark sky's red silk seemed to have grown by a hundred feet and rolled towards the three of them.
At this time, the three masters were panicked, and they were a little at a loss. However, Jiang was the boss after all, so the three of them stabilized their position and quickly arranged their formation. The three of them surrounded Xiao Shuiling in the middle, and continuously hit Xiao Shuiling with a flowing attack.
Shui Ling was overjoyed! If he could kill the Holy Princess, that would be a great achievement!
After all, Xiao Shuiling was once known as the best in the world. When she fought desperately, even the three masters found it very difficult. Antian Hongling shuttled among the people like a long dragon, and the three masters were unable to do anything about it.
After ten moves, the three sect leaders were clearly at a disadvantage, but Xiao Shuiling became more courageous as he fought.
Xiao Shuiling is entangled by three people. Even if he can't defeat his opponent, he can still wear them to death! Moreover, the longer the battle lasts, the safer Wang Cai will be!
The three leaders thought that this was not the way to go. In the end, Wang Cai also ran away, and he could not win against the Holy Princess, so both ends were empty.
Situ Jiannan was heartbroken and said: "Brother Li, hurry up and chase Wang Cai! Let's hold on here first!"
Li Aotian immediately went after Wang Cai.
Xiao Shuiling's heart tightened. If he chased him, Wang Cai would definitely die. With a sudden burst of force, Antian Hongling's power increased several times, and Wei Changqing and Situ Jiannan were defeated one after another.
With an opening, Xiao Shuiling jumped up and chased Li Aotian.
Wei Changqing and Situ Jiannan came to their senses and attacked Xiao Shuiling.
Xiao Shuiling was always entangled by the two masters and could not catch up with Li Aotian. After a stalemate for a while, the four of them simultaneously caught up with Wang Cai, who was running out of breath.
Li Aotian drew his sword and stabbed Wang Cai.
Xiao Shuiling was horrified, and several hidden weapons were approaching Li Aotian. The moment he saved Wang Cai, several flaws suddenly appeared behind him. Wei Changqing and Situ Jiannan saw it, and he attacked with all his strength at the same time.
Xiao Shuiling was in danger all of a sudden and had no time to take care of Wang Cai.
After Li Aotian blocked it, he hit Wang Cai again.
Xiao Shuiling could only save her again, but her body showed flaws again, and she was forced to panic.
After several repetitions, Xiao Shuiling was exhausted physically and mentally. If she were alone, she might not be defeated even if she fought against the three masters. But while fighting, she also had to free up her hands to protect Wang Cai. In such a situation, the situation was already a huge disadvantage.
