Chapter 84, The Eve of the Killing (2)
The setting sun shone into the small room through the west window. With the last bright skylight, Lei Dongfeng put a handful of black-brown gunpowder into the clay pot, installed a fuse rope, and carefully sealed it with wax paper.
Because it is to make gunpowder, Lei Dongfeng and the others can only do these tasks before the sun sets. Otherwise, he would not dare to light a horse lantern when the night comes. God knows what kind of evil consequences will be caused by a bit of Mars in such a simple and unprotected place.
Lei Dongfeng does not have advanced chemical knowledge, but only knows a little bit of the formula of gunpowder, but he does not have the golden finger of creation in a moment. All he can rely on is a little bit of modern flow operations, which can make the configuration faster under the premise of reasonable division of labor.
He and Zhang Ce were responsible for secretly configuring gunpowder in the house. Later, Li Ruoxi also came in to help. Except for Jiang Zhuying, the rest of the people were responsible for filling the gunpowder into the clay pot, and some were responsible for installing the fuse and sealing the can.
In this way, during a busy day, these more than 200 simple earthen pots were finally ready to explode.
"If Duanmu cannot be formed, then I will blow him up and turn the world upside down, and smoke will appear in his seven orifices." Lei Dongfeng said proudly.
"The power of this gunpowder is only average. It would be great if one can explode and injured more than a dozen people." Zhang Ce frowned.
"It's okay, I can't stand the huge number. At that time, let the brothers lie on a high place and throw the pots down for several rounds. Duanmucheng's army will be in chaos. Zhuying and I will take Liu Renze's hundreds of private soldiers to directly rush Duanmucheng, and big things will be accomplished." Lei Dongfeng said.
"Well, after you go back, you will definitely develop it carefully. The gunpowder formula you gave me is very different from the records of the ancestor Qishigong. According to the book "Creation of Heavenly Medals", the power of good gunpowder seems to be greater than this, and even the fire thunder bombs I made." Zhang Ce said.
"Uh, I'm thinking about it too." Lei Dongfeng's face turned slightly red. His gunpowder formula must be wrong in details, and it was just the simplest black gunpowder. It is estimated that the time traveler of Taizu left a more advanced gunpowder formula for ancestor Chuck Ce, of course it is not comparable to that of a person like him who became a monk halfway.
"I hope that after this matter is resolved, there will be no one in Sichuan who can threaten us." Chuan Ce shook the folding fan. After being tired for a day, he was a little dirty.
"Chuzhong is just a foundation. The stronger this foundation is, the better development will be achieved in the future." Li Ruoxi said.
"The empire is not an empire of a certain person, but a country of my Han people. I just want to bring my brothers and sisters back to the imperial capital and drive away the Westerners who invaded our country." Lei Dongfeng looked at everyone around him and suddenly said.
At that time, thousands of years later, the empire had long been as respectful as the so-called true emperor a thousand years ago. In particular, the empire advocated Legalism, Taoism, despised Confucianism and Buddhism, and emphasized rule of law, put the people first and the country first.
Therefore, even in the hearts of children from aristocratic families like Jiang Zhuying, the empire is only a country of the Han family, not the head of the empire, Cheng family.
Moreover, as a result, in the nameless valley where Li Yan and his sister lived in seclusion, they heard that Lei Dongfeng had climbed the Shenlong Peak with his own abilities. His subordinates, including Jiang Zhuying, had a little thought of helping Xiao Lei take advantage of the situation and compete for the tripod.
Especially when the court's leadership collapsed and internal and external invasions, the head of the empire probably did not have enough weight to the current provincial officials in various places.
For the future, all Lei Dongfeng wants to do is to control his own destiny, control his brothers' destiny, at least not be controlled by evil people.
However, it was obvious that the people around Xiao Lei did not think so. At least Chuck felt that with his elder brother's level, he could be a division commander or even a legion commander, and with his assistance and the help of others, he could achieve great achievements.
In Zhang Ce's own words, "A sand thief's son wants to be a general, let alone Lei Dongfeng, who is known as the two scholastic students at Jiangshan Army Higher Education College, has superb martial arts, rich strategies, and so many wonderful ideas. He has even more enemies like Li Yan and secretly help from Jiang Zhuying. Why should he be subordinate to others and serve those families with corpses and food?"
"Captain Lei, don't let the person who follows you down." Li Ruoxi said lightly. For this girl who grew up in the valley but was well-read in poetry, secular rules are even more optional. Therefore, for the people she likes, upward is what she appreciates.
"Uh, I just want to fry Duanmu, don't be so nervous." Lei Dongfeng smiled bitterly and touched his head.
"Mr. Lei, Mu Yu just passed the message and said he wanted to see you." Roland ran in.
"She? What did she do when she meets me at this time? If she meets me at this time, if she is caught by someone with a heart, she will easily be exposed." Lei Dongfeng said in confusion.
"The person who sent the message did not say the specific situation, it seemed to be related to the organization." Roland said.
"Okay, it's a matter of justice. Mu Tong and you two accompany me. Zhu Ying, please take your brothers to look forward to the "home"." Lei Dongfeng said that he took Zhang Ce and Li Ruoxi to go because they were good at analyzing and planning. At such a subtle moment, Mu Yu insisted on seeing him immediately. It is likely that something unexpected happened. This requires a solution to the scene.
"Brother, I'm here." Jiang Zhuying smiled sweetly and told his subordinates not to mention it.

On the night of March 20, 999, the Empire was in Tianxiang Pavilion in Baihuafang, Chengdu Prefecture, Sichuan and Shaanxi Province.
"The organization usually focuses on collecting local intelligence and attracting local officials for us. As for the task of taking the initiative, it is usually only issued once a month, and sometimes not once a day for two or three months. Since the Westerners invaded the empire, this task of taking the initiative has not been put on for several months." Mu Yu said with a small note.
"Well, is it coming again?" Lei Dongfeng asked.
"That's right, just at noon this day, I received a secret message from the headquarters, which was really a bit tricky." Mu Yu handed Lei Dongfeng a note and said helplessly.
"What is this written?" Lei Dongfeng saw a bunch of ghostly talisman-like things written on the note.
"This is a cipher text unique to the organization's information transmission, and it needs to be cracked and read it." Mu Yu pulled out a book from the bookshelf behind him, slowly flipped through it, and explained it to Lei Dongfeng.
"What? Kill Liu Renze at this time? What is the organization doing?" After reading it, Lei Dongfeng took a breath of air conditioning, feeling a little disbelief.
