Chapter 448 On Fire
The moonlight is like water, pouring silver light onto the houses with extinguished candles, and the imperial city gradually fell asleep amidst the sound of the gongs of the watchmen.

Insects were buzzing in the field. Frogs that lurked at night and crawled up the soil, spit out their long tongues to touch the lively insects on the grass, looked at the workshop in the wilderness, and jumped to the field in panic.

The rustling armor shone through the surroundings of the workshop, and rustling voices sounded in the dark night.

"Hey~ The newly appointed Mr. Wen seems to be the mainstay of the Ministry of Labor and Industry. How did he make the whole firearms camp into a mess? Let's talk about these craftsmen, who eat and serve food, and are all in the dormitory now. A big sleep. Some timid people with their wages clamoring all day to go back home to live, and they don’t know what they are thinking? It’s like we like to imprison them.”

"What do you know! Do you really think that this imperial food is delicious? At the beginning, Li Xianke issued a military order with His Majesty, beheading the light ones, and confiscating the house in the serious ones. According to the current situation, two hundred thunderbolts that were shoddy Hasn't been picked yet, where are the new fill warehouses?"

"Hey! Don't tell me, the iron bump looks like half a melon, it's really hard to remind people of the explosion in the garden that day. But these more than 200 pieces are placed in the courtyard like this. I’m really not afraid of death.”

"What are you afraid of! How have these craftsmen ever seen these things? It's all hearsay about power, who has seen it with their own eyes? What are you afraid of?"

"That's true, anyway, we are in charge of guarding, other..."

boom!Boom!

The huge roar covered up the words behind, and the loud sound seemed to tear the eardrums apart.When the eyes caught a glimpse of the flames rising into the sky, the scorching air wave crashed down the adobe wall of the courtyard, and the air wave wrapped in dust and sawdust rushed straight towards the face, tossing the figure.

The continuous sudden sound was like thunder from heaven, lashing the ground ruthlessly, shaking the sand and gravel, like countless yaks trampling on the ground angrily, terrified the people lying on the ground who hadn't stood up yet.

The ears seem to be completely deaf at this moment, and someone in the orange-red eyes is on fire, rushing out of the workshop that has turned into a sea of ​​​​flames in panic, beating around.The crossbar broke and splashed, and the figure guarding the attic fell from the collapsed attic, and was crushed into meatloaf in a blink of an eye.

The air is filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder, and the red background of purgatory is full of fleeing crowds.

The figure lying on the ground looked at the workshop that had turned into a sea of ​​flames, and instinctively stumbled to his feet. When the sound gradually recovered in his ears, he raised his throat and exclaimed.

"The firearms camp... is on fire!"

……

The sound of horseshoes spread from the gate of the imperial city, and rushed to the gate of the old mansion of Shangshu Wen, who had not been there for a few days. His scorched and blood-stained face was full of horror, and he slammed the knocker on the gate of the mansion, rushing to open the door The inspector's servant screamed.

"Go... hurry and report to Mr. Wen."

"The firearms camp...the firearms camp is on fire!"

Soon, the entire mansion was completely boiling.

The steward in unlined clothes ran to Elder Wen's dormitory with a pale face, and shouted to the maids in the yard to change the clothes for Elder Wen. The lamps in the house were lit up one by one, staring at Elder Wen with black eyes. He walked out of the house in a daze, and looked around in a daze.

"It's a big deal, my lord!"

"The Firearms Battalion...the Firearms Battalion is gone..."

……

The distraught old man stared at his disheveled silver hair standing in front of the firearms camp workshop.

The flames that were ten feet high wantonly devoured the collapsed building, and the huge crossbar could not withstand the scorching of the sea of ​​fire, and it fell to the ground with a crackling sound, splashing sparks and dust.A few imperial guards who settled down hurriedly shuttled through the fire scene to carry their injured companions. There were still traces of workshops among the orange ruins.

Amidst the noisy voices, the captain looked at the figures with scorched faces, and commanded the firefighting words hoarsely with all his strength, the clay basin and wooden barrel were hurriedly brought out, and the full water was poured to the raging fire, scoffed Choking white smoke rises from the sound...

"It's over...the firearms camp is over..."

The old man's face was ashen, his lips trembling and he murmured the words softly, he didn't raise his breath, and passed out directly, causing the voices of pinching people and shouting for the doctor to be noisy again.

The Firearms Battalion was set up by His Majesty personally, and Shen Guogong, the leader of the military generals, supervised the construction. The importance of the Zhenguo Sharp Weapons Workshop is self-evident. Do your best to save.

Simply arrange a few sentences, send the soldiers all in black to rest in the backyard, and snatch the water ladle from the hands of the panicked soldiers on the side.

"Swift hands and feet, go to the bedroom of the workshop to save people, as much as you can save!"

"Those with official positions on their bodies, come with me to inspect the Shaking Thunder that has not yet exploded! The rest, put out the fire!"

After all, water stains were poured all over his body, and he rushed to the fire scene with a basin and ladle in his hand.

Since the explosion, the captain finally knew the power of these unremarkable projectiles, so naturally he didn't dare to underestimate them.Especially this earth-shattering feeling is deeply imprinted in my heart.Rao is a royal soldier who has experienced hundreds of battles and seen life and death. At this moment, the astonishing power is shocking, and he is afraid of that palm-sized object in his bones.

A pair of big hands dragged and walked the figure from behind, trembling in fear.

"Old Man Wen has fallen, and the entire firearms battalion still needs to be led by an adult... That thunder that shakes the sky is too...too dangerous."

"My lord can't take the risk, go to the warehouse or come down..."

They are all warriors who have walked out of the Shura battlefield, and they are always afraid, but this kind of tacit understanding and trust still allows the lieutenant under him to take the ladle from the captain's hand and limp towards the storage place.

With tears in his eyes, he saw the awe-inspiring back of Lieutenant General Dayi who had been by his side for several years. From the corner of his eyes, the school captain caught a glimpse of several soldiers covered in dark scars, and dropped them with a loud ear.

"Military weapon, how do you guard it?"

"Why is there a flame in the storage place? Why does it ignite the workshop?"

The beaten soldier covered the burning pain on his face, turned his head to look at the furious figure with some aggrieved eyes, and spoke timidly.

"Despite dissuasion, Mr. Wen moved those non-compliant Shaking Thunders to the front yard to pick them up. In addition, the workshop for making saltpeter and sulfur happens to be not far away..."

Hearing this, the captain's face was suffocated, the hand that was originally raised did not slap down, and the words of the lesson were blocked in his throat, and he could not continue to speak.

In the end, he lowered his arms and looked at the soldiers in silver and bright armor that were dyed black and gray, gritted their teeth.

"Why are you all stuck? Save people! Put out the fire!"

"Notify the imperial city and tell His Majesty the truth."

Lift your finger to a soldier, leading him to the direction of the imperial city.

"Tell Your Majesty the truth, without saying a single word! Go now!"

The soldiers waiting to be dispatched scattered away. The captain looked at the open door in the backyard and stomped his feet angrily.

"Old Man, Old Man! You are trying to drag us down!"
