Chapter 94: It’s about the safety of the princess
"gunpowder!"

"God Thunder!"

The two looked at each other, with confusion flashing in each other's eyes because they had very different names for the same thing.

Yang Zhilan didn't say much. Although she was confused, she didn't ask questions.

For Su Xian, hearing the word "divine thunder" was like a bolt of lightning flashing through his mind, and he remembered——

This world has gunpowder.

But it is not called gunpowder, but "divine thunder".

Today, the world is divided into four parts. The north is the Liang Dynasty, and the south is the Shu Kingdom, Nanchu Kingdom, and Nanchen Kingdom from west to east.

Among the four empires, only Nan Chen has mastered the secret recipe of divine thunder. Only Nan Chen can make divine thunder. Divine thunder is the foundation of Nan Chen's country!
Nanchen……

A flash of lightning flashed across Su Xian's mind again, and his eyes lit up suddenly.

Shenlei belongs to Nanchen alone, and the little fairy Zizi is a dancer from Nanchen, and she is suspected of being a bandit, and she is also in collusion with the Liao Kingdom in the north...

A clue is about to emerge, connecting the strange things encountered during this period one by one.

"Divine Thunder...Hejian Inn...Princess Lanling is in danger!"

Su Xian's eyes widened, and he felt a sense of crisis that the world was about to collapse.

Princess Lanling is the favorite princess of Her Majesty the Queen today. She has great power in the government and the public. If she were to die in Yingzhou, it would be a big disaster.

Under the influence of the whole family, it will be difficult for him to survive alone.

Su Xianyi's pursuit is an absolute sense of security, an absolute stability.

For any crisis, it is best to nip it in its infancy.

However, as soon as he finished shouting excitedly, he felt... one of his feet was a little warm?
The tingling sensation of burning skin stimulated his adrenaline rush.

"Sir, be careful!" Yang Zhilan reacted quickly enough, holding a ladle in her hand to scoop up water.

"Don't, don't stop." Su Xian stretched out his hand and sat on the ground with one butt, greeted Yang Yanlan to help: "This is evidence, it is best to keep ... Go to the stove to get some grass and gray, extinguish the fire."

Yang Zhilan understood in seconds, and flew back to the stove, because she couldn't find a tool to shovel ashes, she held it with her hands.

When she brought a large pile of plant ashes, Su Xian had taken off his shoes and threw them aside. The flames jumped and had already burned less than half.

After being covered with plant ash, the flame gradually extinguished...

Su Xian had calmed down and knew that now he should race against time, so he quickly ordered: "Go to my room and get my new shoes as fast as you can."

After a blink of an eye, Yang Zhilan had disappeared.

Sure enough, it was fast enough... Su Xian calmed down and took off the other shoe, because this shoe was also stained with divine thunder, which was all evidence.

Before he had finished taking off his shoes, Su Xian suddenly felt the light dim before his eyes, and a pair of thin hands appeared in front of him carrying a pair of brand new shoes.

"Help me put it on quickly."

Su Xian stretched out the other leg.

Soon, he changed his shoes, stood up, and held two old shoes in one hand. As he went out, he ordered: "I will go to the weekly office to explain the situation immediately. You just stay at home and don't go anywhere."

"it is good!"

Su Xian went out with two old shoes and ran wildly on the sparsely populated corner street.

Because there is no carriage house on Jiaolou Street, if you want to hire a carriage, you have to go to other streets two miles away... If I had known this, I shouldn't have returned Lin Chuan's carriage.

A quarter of an hour later.

In front of the county government gate.

When Su Xian hurriedly got off the carriage, dusk had arrived and the sky was dark.

The gate of the county government office is closed tightly, and the two stone lions in front of the gate are hidden in the dusk, giving a terrifying feeling.

Instructing the coachman to wait where he was, Su Xian quickly climbed up the steps and knocked on the door, shouting: "Open the door, someone is coming. I'm Su Xian. I have something important to report to Zhou Ji's office. It's a very important matter..."

In the past two days, Zhou Ji's office had stayed at the county government office for food and accommodation in order to inspect Tang Ju's political achievements. This is why Su Xian went straight to the government office.

"Who is it? Stop knocking, stop knocking!" An impatient voice came from inside the door with red lacquer and copper nails.

Squeak!

The door opened a crack.

There was a yamen servant inside, looking impatient and about to lose his temper.

But when he saw that the person coming was Su Xian, he immediately put on a smile and asked, "It turns out it's Mr. Su. Did Mr. Su come to the Yamen so late to find Ming Mansion?"

Just as the yamen officer finished speaking with a smile, he caught a glimpse of Su Xian carrying...two old shoes?
One of them was half burned?

The yamen servant's smile suddenly froze, and he thought to himself that these two old shoes were not a gift for the Ming Dynasty, were they?

"No, I'm looking for the Zhou Ji office. I have something important." Su Xian didn't notice anything strange about the Yamen servant.

"Zhou Ji's office." The Yamen servant's face became a little ugly, because in the past two days, Zhou Ji's office had tormented them so much, "Zhou Ji's office is not in the Yamen."

"Not in the Yamen? Isn't he inspecting the County Yamen?"

"The inspection is almost over." The yamen officer looked relaxed and said with a smile: "So Zhou Ji's office is staying in the post house. If Mr. Su wants to find Zhou... Zhou... Zhou Ji..."

The yamen servant was a little dazed.

Watching Su Xian's back turning and leaving, and the shadow of the carriage driving away after Su Xian jumped on the carriage, he swallowed back the second half of his words.

post house.

bathroom.

Squeak, the bathroom door opened from the inside, and a stream of white mist-like water vapor spurted out. After encountering the heat outside, it dissipated instantly.

Wearing a bathrobe, Zhou Ji walked out of the office with a steady pace.

The real name of Zhou Ji Office is "Zhou Quan".

Ji Shi is an official name, the full name is "Ji Shi Participates in Military Affairs". From the sixth rank, he is an official of the Prince's Mansion.

Because the Lanling Princess Mansion is equivalent to the Prince's Mansion, there are also such officials.

In addition, subordinate officials such as "Wang Fu", "Consultation to Participate in Military Affairs", "Wang You", "Literature", "Chang Shi", "Sima" and so on are also available.

Among them, Wang Fu ranks in the third rank and is the highest-ranking official in the princess's residence.

Zhou Quan's "Ji Shi's participation in the military" is only from the sixth rank. In terms of official rank, Zhou Ji's office ranks in the middle or lower position in the princess's mansion.

But even so, due to Princess Lanling's power over the ruling and opposition parties, the subordinate officials in the mansion "see officials two levels higher" outside!
The sixth-rank officials in the Zhou Ji Office can be considered equal to the fourth-rank officials.

"The room you are staying in has been prepared. The quilt is a newly purchased silk quilt and the mattress has been changed. I guarantee that you will be satisfied." Outside the bathroom door, the staff of the post house were waiting carefully.

Zhou Ji's face was fair and thin, with a goat's beard under his chin. He could not hide a hint of fatigue between his brows and said, "I've been really tired these past two days. It would be better to rest early."

When he came to the room where he was staying, he waved away the subordinate staff of the post house and ordered: "Don't disturb me unless you have something important to do!"

The subordinate officials said, "Yes, yes, yes" and stepped back.

After closing the door, Zhou Ji yawned and blew out the oil lamp, then lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to prepare for sleep.

However, not long after I closed my eyes, a subordinate shouted from outside the house: "In Zhou Ji's Office, someone is asking to see you, someone is asking to see you..."

Zhou Jishi immediately opened his eyes, rubbed his eyebrows and sat on the edge of the bed, and said angrily: "Didn't I tell you not to disturb me?"

"Reporting to Zhou Ji's office, someone came to tell me that there is an urgent matter related to the safety of Her Royal Highness Princess Lanling. I must see you." The assistant shouted loudly.

"Is it related to the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess?!"

Zhou Ji's sleepiness disappeared in an instant. While dressing, he ordered: "Take the person to the front hall."
