"That's not what you should ask."

Chen Xuan replied coldly.

Gunpowder is an absolute secret. His Majesty has repeatedly emphasized that no one should reveal anything about it, not even the closest people.

He also understands.

Gunpowder can blast rocks and open up mountains without any disadvantages, but what if it is used on the battlefield?

Flesh and blood bodies cannot bear it even more.

At the same time, it is also a powerful weapon. How can it be exposed?

"What if I have to tell you?"

As a cold voice sounded, Chen Xuan felt a sharp object stabbing his lower back.

He was startled suddenly and reacted immediately.

"Are you a remnant of the previous dynasty?"

"How can I be a remnant of the previous dynasty?"

The young man was very disdainful.

He has been in Daning for some time and has a general understanding of the situation.

He looked down upon those guys who were hiding like rats.

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Tell me all the information about that explosive. Don't say you don't know."

The young man asked coldly.

At the same time, he raised his eyes and glanced around, fearing that someone was coming.

The heavy rain gave him an opportunity. Chen Xuan sent everyone around him out to investigate the situation, leaving him alone.

At the same time, the stone knife in his hand stabbed a few more times.

He couldn't carry a weapon with him when working every day, so he took the time to sharpen a stone knife.

Just ask for information and leave immediately.

Heavy rain is the best cover.

Only then did Chen Xuan understand.

He said calmly: "No matter who you are, I won't tell you anything. Just give up."

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

"I'm afraid, but I won't say it."

The young man exerted force on his hand, and the stone knife penetrated a few points again. Although the flesh was not broken, it was still very painful.

Chen Xuan took a breath, but did not speak.

"I'll give you another chance, tell me now!"

The young man roared in a low voice.

He doesn't have much time. Chen Xuan is the core figure here, and someone might come looking for him soon.

Chen Xuan ignored it at all.

It seems that there is no chance, this is a tough nut.

The young man looked ugly. Unless he could take Chen Xuan away and interrogate him slowly, there was no such chance.

The only option is... to kill him!

A qualified spy must be decisive, being indecisive will only harm yourself.

At least now we can be sure that that kind of explosives cannot be used on rainy days. Otherwise, they would have been used long ago, so there would be no need to use manpower to pile them up.

This is already a big gain.

The young man thought and was about to take action.

"What?"

Just then there was a shout from outside.

The young man was frightened and subconsciously raised his head, but in the meantime, the man who called him outside opened his wrist, and a cold light flashed in front of his eyes.

He was shocked and wanted to avoid it, but it was too late. Different from the stone knife he used, this was a real dagger.

The dagger penetrated directly into his shoulder, causing him to feel pain and his reaction was a little slower. At this moment, the man outside had rushed into the work shed and attacked him.

It’s over!

Exposed!

This is a master!

Liang Guo's secret agent's heart sank to the bottom, and he knew that this series of skills was extraordinary.

He is already injured and will definitely not be able to beat him.

We can only rush out. With the help of heavy rain, we may have a chance to escape...

But he thought too much and had no chance at all.

Chen Xuan has escaped, and there is no need to worry about anyone coming.

The people who came showed off their skills and captured him quickly.

"Master Chen, it's safe."

"Who are you……"

Chen Xuan looked at this man who looked like a suffering man and was even more curious.

Why did he just happen to appear and protect him?

"Some time ago, remnants of the previous dynasty caused trouble. Your Majesty was worried that you would be persecuted, so he sent me to protect you secretly."

This member of the secret guard said as he was told in advance.

"I see."

Chen Xuan was startled into a cold sweat without realizing it.

Your Majesty is still thoughtful.

He is the chief engineer of Xinggu Canal. If the remnants of the previous dynasty fail to destroy it, they may target him.

Didn’t this just happen?

Listening to the conversation between the two, Shi Yun's heart felt cold.

It turned out that he hit it.

"You deal with this person. I also want to check the condition of the river."

Chen Xuan didn't bother to ask any more questions, he just said something casually and ran out. This was what he was most worried about.

The heavy rain is still falling and has accumulated in the rivers, forming a flood situation.

But this is only accumulated, not released from upstream.

In other words, it has not been opened yet.

yes!

How can it be possible in this kind of weather?

He was extremely anxious.

Apparently he was not the only one like this, many workers came running over in the rain.

They are also concerned about it.

We have paid so much for this river!

In the process, several people lost their lives.

If they fail at this time and are still unable to get through and prevent the flood from inundating the fertile fields, they will definitely collapse.

"Go back, everyone go back!"

Chen Xuan shouted.

The work here has been completed, and the workers have been asked to go back to their work sheds to take shelter from the rain.

But no one goes back!

"Sir, just let us wait here!"

"Yes, we just want to see if the river can be opened here."

"Whatever you say, Your Majesty can keep an eye on it and you will definitely get through it."

At this time, there was a shout.
