She stood blankly for a while, trying to cry, but at the moment when tears burst into her eyes, Zhang Xiaojing's words rushed into her mind: "Your son agreed with you to follow me because he believed that you can do better than wait People are more valuable things. "

Tan Qi raised the back of his hand, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, stood up again, and took a hard breath. Yes, my ability, not just waiting for the son, I can do more valuable things! Can't be underestimated by that Deng Tuozi, let alone disappoint him.

The general trend is so difficult, if I give up again, then there is no hope at all!

Tan Qi's eyes showed a firm look. At this time she saw the lookout in the distance and was sending a purple light signal towards it, like a star rising in the night sky.

The signal is very simple, only two words. Tan Qi is able to read the meaning of this signal even if he is not familiar with communication:

Never retreat.

After a long time of darkness, Li Mi's eyes suddenly lit up.

It was not dawn, but his headgear was removed. Shown in front of Li Mi is a beautifully lit courtyard. This courtyard covers an extremely large area, with rockery and vines scattered all over the place, interspersed with precious exotic tree species such as sorrel and golden peach. Agarwood Zhu Zhen, sandalwood railings, and even the wells are covered with golden cancan treasures, and the surrounding corridors are also surrounded by a circle of wisteria shelves, which can be described as extravagant.

In the middle of the courtyard is an eaves pavilion. There is nothing special about the pavilion. However, Li Mi could see at a glance that each of the four pavilions had five arms, and the cost of transporting the logs alone was enough to bankrupt a dozen small families.

"Li Sicheng has a good eye, this is a rain pavilion, which is not ordinary." Long Bo stood smiling sideways and raised his arm, as if an attentive host was showing off to the guests, "Look, there is a circle on the edge of the pavilion The movable water embankment can be moved. When it rains, it can be stored. When it is very hot, just lift the water embankment to a small slit, and then there will be clear water pouring down from the four sides of the pavilion eaves, like a curtain of water. The rich are just able to play, babble. "

Li Mi carefully observed all this, his eyes flashing.

Behind the Turkic Wolf Guard, it should be this organization called Centipede-the identity of the principal behind the scenes must not be low in Chang'an, otherwise it will not be possible to own this vast and luxurious courtyard; his net worth must also be amazing, otherwise it is impossible to gather this An army with sophisticated equipment and powerful combat skills.

There are not many people in Changan City who can play this kind of hand-made businessmen. Who is it?

Long Bo noticed that Li Bi was observing and nodded his aquiline nose, and he smiled: "Li Sicheng is really a worry, he is already at a dead end, why do he think so much, simply enjoy the beautiful scenery."

Li Bi straightened his chest and showed no cowardice, as fiercely as in the Jingansi Hall: "You are not killing me in Jingansi, but you are holding it so hard. Did you come to appreciate this pavilion?"

"Hey, Si Cheng really looks like a torch, in the end he is a prodigy of chess." Long Bo grabbed his head embarrassingly, took out another roll of mint leaves from his waist, and handed it to Li Mi, "Come on a bite?"

Li Mi remained motionless: "Who is the main messenger behind you?"

Long Bo raised his fingernails, picked out the mint leaf residue from the teeth, and flicked to the ground: "How does Si Cheng feel that we must have a gold master behind us?"

"Whether ordinary people can do this kind of scale, this kind of handwriting."

Long Bo seemed to laugh, not to laugh: "Si Cheng is a big man who is above the top. He is of high quality, and even if he is defeated, he can only be defeated by opponents of equal status. ,Right?"

Li Mi didn't answer. He felt that this question was too stupid to answer.

Long Bo continued to say: "This is not to blame Si Cheng. On the way, it is natural to watch out for Xiong Lei Hu Leopard, who would bow his head to care about the little insects and ants?" His boots slammed suddenly, and after moving away, A few flat corpses of ants were added to the terrazzo floor, "their life and death are only between the big men's step, what is it to be afraid of?"

Li Bi was quiet, trying to guess his motives from these words of resentment.

Long Bo stretched out his hand: "However, not all insect ants are only killed by their boots. Among the insect ants, there is a kind of cricket. It is pure white and is as small as rice grains. It is pitifully small. But They are mouth-to-face, barbed wood for food, and they like to drill the rafters and erode the beams. Even if it is a hundred meters wide, a thousand miles long embankment, it can be eroded by this little flying insect and collapsed. "

As if to confirm his words, several white crickets with wings flew out of the gap in the house behind them, chasing and dancing in the air. Spring is here, and it is the season of mates.

Li Bileng said: "You have the courage to attack Jing'an in the heart of Chang'an, but you have no courage to tell the truth to a captive?"

"This is the truth. I'm going to take the name of the cricket, naturally, they are small people, but they are not so willing." Long Bo said of these two words, with a touch of pride and self-deprecation, "The world only knows giants Wrath of the dragon, a million corpses, but I do n’t know that the wrath of the earthworm can destroy the city and shake the tree. "

A scene emerged in Li Mi's mind. The earthworm covering the sky and wings fluttered and gnawed every building of this Chang'an city.

Long Bo instructed his men to untie the rope tied to Li Mi, and then gestured respectfully: "Please follow me, and I will show you how these little crickets shake this big city. of."

Surrounded by sentries, Li Bi knew that there was no possibility of escaping. He rubbed his sore shoulders, snorted, and strode forward. Long Bo walked side by side with him and walked towards the depths of the courtyard together.

They passed through the pavilion and bypassed the rockery. On the way, they could see many sturdy men, patrolling back and forth with an inch of crossbow, all Han and Hu, guarded. These people must have been the people who attacked Jingan Division with Longbo. They had a different temperament from ordinary bandits.

Ordinary thieves may be fierce, but most of them are loose and crumbling sand; and these soldiers are advancing and retreating, rigorous, and so many people are guarding in the courtyard, there is no sound at all-let alone gangsters, it is the forbidden army in Beijing Not many can do this.

This is not something that can be collected just by money. Reminiscent of Long Bo's metaphor of the earthworm, Li Mi sinks.

Long Bo whistled while walking, not paying attention to Li Mi's observation.

They came to the edge of the dark brown sorrow forest in the corner of the courtyard. These trees are all transplanted from Tianzhu, and each one is of great value. The trunk is wrapped in sackcloth to withstand the severe cold in the north. At the edge of the woods, Long Bo stopped and said, "Li Sicheng, you have come to the place. Look carefully." Li Bi looked around: "What do you want me to see?"

Long Bo smiled and said: "Of course, you have tracked a few hours of things."

"Querhodo?"

Li Bi whispered. The Turkic Wolf Guard smuggled into Yanzhou Stone Fat and refined it into a fiery fire thunder at Changmingfang. Among them, fifteen barrels have been exploded, and the other two hundred barrels are still missing. It was hidden in this courtyard!

Long Bo "chucked" a little embarrassedly: "Querhuduo is a nickname for the Turks. To be honest, it's too earthy. Those Turks didn't know the real use of this thing at all. Fried, as vulgar as this name. "

Li Mi glanced at every corner, but saw nothing suspicious. It stands to reason that there are more than 200 barrels of fierce fire thunder, which cannot be concealed.

Long Bo extended his finger to the sky and chanted, "Let there be light!"

Soon, a little candle light lit up not far away, at first one or two, then one piece, one circle, and quickly outlined a perfect disc.

Only then did Li Bi see that a bamboo headlight wheel with a height of more than five feet stood in the vicinity. It's just that there was no light just now, and I couldn't see it at night. Now dozens of fire candles are swaying at the same time, illuminating the forest like daylight, and finally the details can be seen clearly.

The light wheel is made of thick bamboo spliced ​​into a skeleton, and pasted with oil paper to make a waterwheel-shaped runner. A grid of candles was placed in the hollow, and the outer paper surface was divided into twelve areas, each with the image of the twelve zodiac in color, and gold and silver spikes and blessing insect satin hanging on the corners. Below is a water canal. The water flow pushes the light wheel and slowly rotates. The zodiac signs rotate back and forth, symbolizing the passage of time. In the center of the light wheel is the work picture of Fu Shoulu and Samsung.

This light wheel is not as large as the light towers in East and West cities and Xingqing Palace, which can be more than ten feet long. However, the designer has a careful mind, and can think of the operation principle of borrowing waterwheels, which turns into a metaphor of time rotation, which is quite unique.

Like the self-raining pavilion in the courtyard, it is highly ingenious, and those who have both leisure and prosperity cannot do it.

Li Bi looked up for a while: "What does this have to do with Que Lehuo?" Long Bo patted his shoulder, indicating Shao An was not restless.

The lamp wheel rotated silently for a while, and suddenly a fire ignited in the Chenshi area. No, it did not ignite, but burst. Li Bi clearly saw that it burst out of the bamboo. The light wheel was still spinning, and the flames spread to the adjacent time zone and time zone. The bamboos on both sides burst into bursts, almost a moment, and one quarter of the light wheel burned.

Li Bi's eyes widened and he could see clearly under the candlelight. The reason why the fire is so rapid is that after the bamboo explodes, black liquid flows out from the inside. The liquid caught fire and was extremely fierce.

The black liquor carried the flame all over the body of the light wheel, turning it into a flaming torch. Soon, the fire reached the central bamboo tube of the lamp wheel. Within a few fingers, Li Bi saw a flame violently explode from the bamboo tube, and the bodies of Fu, Shou, and Lu Sanxing burst into countless fragments. Immediately afterwards, the twelve hours were torn apart by the sudden flame storm. Such a delicate light stand collapsed like this.

The sound of the explosion was very familiar, and it was exactly the same as the explosion in Xishi, only on a smaller scale.

"Ding test, finished." An observer's voice came from the forest. After Long Bo heard it, he slap it happily and turned his head to Li Mi: "How is it? Do you understand? What a beautiful scene this is."

Li Bi reached out his hand and helped a sapling tree. He understood it all.

No wonder Jing Anji could not find the whereabouts of the more than two hundred barrels of fierce fire thunder. It turned out that the earthworm was in Changmingfang, poured the refined stone resin into the bamboo tube, and then swept away the bamboo tube. Wanglou and Wuhou around the world are desperately looking for cars that pull wooden barrels.

If these stone resin bamboo canisters are installed on a lamp stand, the small canister will support combustion, and the large canister will explode. Once exploded, the density of the people watching the lanterns in Chang'an will only be extremely fatal.

Long Bo still raised his head with emotion: "It's a pity that these Turkic people can't see it anymore, what a pity. Do you say they will kneel on the ground and worship?"

"I don't understand ..." Li Mi murmured, "The light stand started to build as early as a few days ago, why don't you build a good fashion, and you want to go after Shang Yuan lifts the candle to install it?"

Long Bo scratched his eagle's nose annoyedly: "No way, this thing of petrolatum can't be detonated without preheating. After heating, if it doesn't detonate within half an hour, it will be cold, it has to be Reheat. "

Li Bi listened to understand that this characteristic of Fierce Fire Thunder determined that it could only be fired now, not in advance. He knew that Long Bo didn't lie. When the Turkic Wolf Guard drove into the array, the petrolatum in the barrel was boiling.

But this workload ... is it too much?

Li Mi went through the burning scene again in his mind, and suddenly found that there were only a few parts in the lamp wheel that actually caught fire. In other words, one lamp stand only needs to replace three or four bamboo tubes, which is enough to turn into a huge fiery fire thunder.

The bamboo lampstands that are popular in Chang'an are bound by a piece of bamboo knot and hemp rope. The structure is loose, and it is extremely convenient for disassembly or replacement. These people only need to replace a few of these stone resin bamboo tubes in the name of maintenance, the workload is not large, more than half an hour is more than enough.

This move can be smarter and more concealed than the Turks with a fierce fire and thunder, and the casualties will be greater. This is the real Queljodo! If you don't check it in advance, you won't be able to prevent it.

Now Chang'an says there are tens of thousands of lamp stands. If you want to check them one by one ... wait, it's wrong, there are only more than 200 barrels of stone resin, and it's impossible to cover the entire Chang'an City, unless, unless the cicada pursues not a face point!

Li Bi's backbone suddenly burst into cold sweat.

The detonation characteristics of the fierce fire mine for half an hour, and the range of use of two hundred barrels of petrolatum are reversed from these two points, indicating that the Cricket is pursuing not a large-scale killing, but an attack on a specific location at a specific time.

Could it be ... a grisly, terrible conjecture, tearing Li Mi's brain out, breaking out, and screaming at the real world. His legs trembled involuntarily.

Although Li Mi does not know why they kidnapped themselves, it must be related to this shocking conspiracy. His eyes flashed, and suddenly he tried his best to hit the solid courtyard wall-he realized that the only way to crack this terrifying conspiracy was to die.

Just as his celestial cover was about to hit the wall, one hand grabbed Li Mi's shirt and pulled him back.

"Li Sicheng is really decisive-he is a step behind his determination." Long Bo sneered.

Several people stepped forward and restrained Li Mi to prevent him from committing suicide. Li Mi closed his eyes in disappointment, and his sense of weakness was like a rope that tied his whole body.

Long Bo leaned in front of him: "My favorite thing is to appreciate the desperate expression of a clever person like you who sees through everything but is helpless."

Li Bi opened his eyes and said, "Even if I am gone, someone will stop you." Long Bo laughed: "Jing Ansi is indeed worthy of fear. But it has been burnt to nothing, why should I stop it?" ? "

But soon Long Bo discovered that Li Bi was actually laughing. After seeing the power of Que Lehuo, the young senior official actually laughed. Long Bo found that he was a little scared, which made him suddenly extremely uncomfortable.

Snapped!

Long Bo waved his arm and gave Li Mi a slap in the face: "You have nothing to rely on in your hand, why can you laugh?"

There was a little blood in the corner of Li Mi's mouth, but his smile did not change: "Because you only missed the most dangerous guy."

"Zhang Xiaojing?" Long Bo actually knew the name.

Li Mi noticed that the other party's frivolous expression disappeared and was replaced with unprecedented solemnity.
