Daughter Shenghua

Chapter 76 Gunpowder
At this time, the sun was not so harsh, Yunxi sat on the stone bench under the tree, and Hongyi sat beside him, making tea.

If there were no screams coming from the room, the two of them would be more like dating at this moment.

Xiao Chengcheng came out after a while, because Yunxi didn't like them calling her concubine, so Xiao Muyun asked them to call her master.

"My lord, Chen Yi has recruited. They will create a big riot in the city tonight, and Rong An will take the opportunity to attack the city."

Yun Xi frowned and said, "How to create a riot?"

"They will ignite gunpowder in the city, causing a big explosion. They also bought the team leader who is on duty today, and that person will quietly open the city gate and lure Rong'an people into the city."

With a "snap", Yunxi smashed the cup in his hand.

"Well, Chen Yi, who eats inside and out, did not hesitate to kill so many innocent people to achieve his conspiracy. How could they use such vicious methods!" Yun Xi was furious.

"Where did they keep the gunpowder?"

"I don't know yet!"

"I don't know?" Yun Xi glared at Xiao Cheng.

Xiao Cheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Then Chen Yi probably doesn't know, he is only responsible for passing the news to Rong An, and he is not responsible for how to implement it."

Yunxi suddenly thought of the man in gray, all of this must have been planned by him.

If I hadn't inadvertently spied on Marquis Wu's whereabouts today, I wouldn't know how they died tonight. This strategy is not bad, and it is too vicious.

"What breakthrough did those people in Rong'an make?" Yun Xi asked again.

Thinking of this, Xiao Cheng's face became better, and he said, "Rong'an caught a big fish, and there is a prince."

Yun Xi nodded, and then asked Xiao Cheng to take good care of those Rong'an people. She always felt that keeping these people would be of great use in the future.

At this moment, someone came to report that Jing Bianhou had woken up, and they were overjoyed.In order not to scare the snake away, he quickly asked Hongyi to make some disguises for them, and then sneaked into the state government office.

Seeing Jing Bianhou leaning on the bed, drinking rice soup in mouthfuls, Yun Xi hurriedly ran and shouted: "Daddy!"

Seeing that the person in front of him was a little familiar, Jingbianhou realized that it was Yunxi when he heard the familiar voice, and shouted hoarsely: "Xi'er, why are you here?"

Yun Xi burst into tears, and didn't say much, but said that she was worried about him, which is why she came here.

Marquis Jingbian never knew about Yun Xi being hunted down, Xiao Cheng purposely kept it from him.Undoubtedly, Jingbianhou thought that Yunxi left the capital only after he learned that he had been poisoned, so he blamed him for a while.

Seeing that Hou Jingbian's spirit was indeed better, Yun Xi told him about the current situation and also about the gunpowder.

The matter of gunpowder is too important, and they must have the help of Jing Bianhou, otherwise their manpower will definitely not be enough.

When Jingbian Hou learned about the gunpowder, he knew that the matter was serious, so he quickly sent someone to find Zhang Cheng.

It was an accident that Zhang Cheng took the position of Jing Zhaoyin in the first place. By chance, he helped the emperor deal with an unresolved case in the palace. He became a general of Jing Zhaoyin in this way, and he has been in the position for several years.

It was hard to return to the barracks this time, and since something like this happened in Yuezhou City, it was the best candidate for Zhang Cheng to investigate.

Zhang Cheng was secretly brought to Jingbianhou's place. He was very surprised to see that Lord Hou had woken up, and Yun Xi was also here. The intuition formed in Beijing for so many years told him that something big must happen.

After hearing what Yunxi said about the gunpowder, he realized the seriousness of the matter.This matter has not yet let the enemy know that Lord Hou has woken up, they want to do it in private, Zhang Cheng frowned and responded.

Yun Xi knew that he must have a solution. Being Jing Zhaoyin in the capital was not as easy as imagined. Zhang Cheng could do it there for several years, and his ability was definitely very strong.

After making a plan with Marquis Jingbian, Yunxi quietly left again.

Sure enough, it didn't take long to hear that Rong An's spies had stolen a copy of the defense plan, and they wanted to close the city gates immediately and go door to door looking for Rong An's spies.

Yun Xi laughed, this Uncle Zhang is quite powerful.

Back in the mansion, Yun Xi was a little uneasy. To create a big riot in the city, there must be a lot of gunpowder, and how did it get into the city?

Could it be that someone else was bought?
After thinking about it, I think it is impossible for someone to have such courage. Even if the gatekeepers were bribed, it is impossible for them to be unaware when they transported the gunpowder. Now that the city is full of spies from various families, it is impossible for them to be unaware.How did such a quantity of gunpowder be buried silently?

Suddenly, Yunxi thought of her grandfather. When she was very young, she had watched him mix gunpowder and make fireworks for them.

Will someone also prepare gunpowder?Is it really my brother?

But why did my brother do this?Did he want to destroy Dajing?

Yunxi came back from Jingbianhou's place, and wrote the big characters for almost an hour. Today, her heart became more and more chaotic, and finally tore up the big characters just written, turned and walked out the door.

"Hongyi, send someone to check immediately if anyone has transported a large amount of charcoal into the city. Hurry up, I want to know right away!"

"Yes!"

After Hongyi left, Yunxi anxiously walked up and down the room, and Hongyi came back sweating profusely after half an hour.

"Master, a month ago, someone transported a large amount of charcoal into the city. They said that charcoal was cheap this season, and they would sell it when it was cold. At that time, all the charcoal was shipped to the warehouse in the west of the city. The servant just went to check it. The batch of charcoal is all gone."

Yun Xi took a step back in shock, as she thought, is it really her brother?
"Hongyi, you should inform General Zhang right away and ask him to track down the whereabouts of that batch of charcoal. Maybe he will find something. Hurry up, we don't have much time left!"

Yun Xi closed her eyes and tried again, trying to find the man in gray, but she couldn't do it after many attempts.She tried to find Marquis Wu again, but she saw it not long after. Marquis Wu seemed to be outside the city, and there were many tents around.

They were still looking for Marquis Wu in the city, but they didn't expect that he was already in the Rong'an camp.

He closed his eyes again, and said silently: Ayun, Ayun.

Xiao Muyun, who was lying in the tent of the expeditionary general, was startled, closed his eyes and did not speak, only to hear Yun Xi whispering in his ear: Marquis Wu is in Rong'an camp.Then Xiao Muyun nodded, indicating to Yunxi that he knew, and Yunxi's voice disappeared from his ear.

Xiao Muyun stayed in the Rong'an camp for a long time, and he has been waiting for the arrival of the new coach.The eldest prince Rong An wanted to snatch the military power from the general of the expedition, charged him with disrespect to the royal family, and re-recommended the commander to the imperial court.

Under Xiao Muyun's instigation, the expeditionary general did not resist.

Because of the arrival of the eldest prince Rong An, he had to change some plans. This matter had to remove the general of the expedition, and this happened to be an opportunity.

After talking to Xiao Muyun, Yunxi was relieved, she was relieved that Wuhou was with Xiao Muyun, and he would definitely not be able to escape.

Yunxi tried several times and found that only when she knew the person's face could she see that person. The closer she was to her, the longer she persisted.

She couldn't help secretly regretting why she didn't take a closer look at the man's portrait that day, and only focused on his finger wrenching.

She tried to think about the look of wrenching her fingers again, and finally found that she could only look at people, not things, and was very disappointed.
