Chapter 105
Fooled
Zaidi also knew how big a storm would be caused if he went back.
Chen Wei actually has an illegitimate son sitting proudly as a prince.
If this news gets out, his stingy second uncle will not forgive Chen Wei.
Chen Wei has been an official in the court for many years and has a lot of wings. He really doesn't have much confidence on his own.
Fortunately, Qin Zhi also gave him Yueniang and the painter.
With witnesses in hand, even if he cannot be convicted, the emperor can recall Chen Wei, who has been rushing for 800 miles.
As long as Chen Wei can return to Kyoto, Qin Zhihuan will have a way out of trouble.
When he returned to Kyoto, Chen Wei couldn't escape no matter what.
Thinking of this, he was full of confidence.
Little did he know that as soon as it got dark in the south of the Yangtze River, Chen Wei ordered people to light gunpowder.
Without any hesitation, he waited with a victor's attitude to see Qin Zhihuan's death.
However, a quarter of an hour passed, and no gunpowder explosion was seen.
Instead, there was movement in the government office.
Suddenly, a few lights appeared in the dark government office, and they were running around aimlessly.
Chen Wei's heart sank, and he always felt that something big had happened.
Just as he was about to send someone to see what happened, a dead soldier guarding the government office hurriedly came out to report.
"Sir, the people in the government office have already negotiated their way out through the tunnel."
Chen Wei's heart was beating wildly and he could hardly stand.
Then I heard the dead man continue: "I heard from the government official that all the gunpowder in the tunnel had been soaked in water by Mr. Qin and could not be ignited at all.
The reason why they haven't escaped in the past two days is because they are waiting for us to dig a hole for them to escape."
Gunpowder is afraid of water, and it has been raining heavily these past few days, so it is not unusual for it to get wet.
Blame him for not thinking neatly.
Chen Wei looked at the suddenly motionless lights in the government office and spit out a mouthful of blood.
There was no sign of anyone in the government office.
Forcing himself to calm down, he tightened the reins and ordered half of the men and horses to go to the tunnel exit.
The dark masses of dead soldiers were fighting in the heavy rain.
The sound of swords clashing broke the tranquility of the rainy night.
The doors on both sides of the alley were closed, and Wu went out alone.
Chen Wei's men had only walked halfway, and the government office behind them was once again filled with swords and swords, and flames soared into the sky.
The fire came from behind, Chen Wei tightened the reins again and slowly turned around.
Suddenly, my heart felt cold.
The dead soldiers at the tunnel entrance also turned around and came back in time. When they saw Chen Wei, they hurriedly reported: "Sir, there are only Mr. Sun and two soldiers at the tunnel entrance..."
The soldiers of the government were very skilled in martial arts. After killing several people, they escaped with Master Sun.
The dead man observed the next words on Chen Wei's face and didn't say anything...
Chen Wei's face completely changed color.
He was fooled, but he didn't lose yet...
After reacting, Chen Wei clamped the horse's belly and suddenly turned around.
A group of people followed him and rushed toward the government office.
When anyone dared to move, there was a tremor under their feet, and the gunpowder buried in the ground suddenly exploded.
Like a giant dragon that has been hovering for a long time, it burst out of the ground with a roar and swallowed everyone in an instant.
There were sounds of horses neighing and wailing everywhere.
Chen Wei was lucky and was saved by a dead soldier the moment the flames came towards him.
The rumbling explosion sounded in his ears. Chen Wei was temporarily deaf and could not hear the voices of the people around him.
Knowing that gunpowder is afraid of water, how can we let gunpowder get damp?
The tunnel is dry and not humid, so it won't be impossible to light it for a while.
Even if Qin Zhi had the ability, he wouldn't be able to make so much gunpowder go into flames.
How could he be fooled by him and not want to think more about it?
Chen Wei's eyes were red, and the soldier who rescued him was seriously injured and kept wailing.
There was a mess in front of me.
The deafness caused by the explosion slowly dissipated, and the pitiful wailing sound entered my ears.
Chen Wei was heartbroken, he got up from the ground with difficulty, drew his sword and killed the dying soldier who was in agony.
Then he straightened his back, looked at the fire in the sky, gritted his teeth and cursed: "Bullshit."
Chen Wei's targets were only Qin Zhihuan and the two people who escaped.
Mr. Sun who escaped from the tunnel was not hunted for long. He was held up by Qin Daqin Er and escaped early in the morning.
He didn't know martial arts, so he was dragged along the ground by two people, and he felt like his skin was going to be scratched on his front.
Just as he was about to speak, there was an explosion behind him.
A wave of heat hit him, and he was so frightened that he sat down on the ground again.
When I turned around again, I no longer had the strength to stand up.
The fire at the government office was soaring into the sky.
He guessed correctly that the gunpowder was indeed not a squib.
After entering the tunnel, he felt something was wrong. Qin Er was at the front to clear the way and cut off the gunpowder primer with a single stroke of his sword.
He was so frightened that he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Qin Er tell him not to leave yet but to wait.
What are you waiting for, waiting to die?
He wanted to ask several times but was frightened away by the looks in their eyes.
After almost a cup of tea, the girl dressed as Yueniang actually lit the gunpowder primer again.
He was scared in his heart and quickly stopped him: "What if it's not soaked in enough water and it's still dry..."
According to his opinion, it was better to destroy it just in case.
Qin Er was not afraid at all, and there was no fear on his face: "You will know if you try it."
His expression changed several times, and he began to doubt Qin Er's sincerity.
I have never seen a slave who would put his master's life on the line.
unless……
He was planning to give him a gift to persuade him, so Qin Da and Qin Er pinched his arms, one on the left and the other on the right.
"My lord is right. If it can be lit, it will be over."
Before he finished speaking, he was led away by two people.
He deliberately shouted to the two men to put out the gunpowder primer, but the speed was too fast and he couldn't say it.
As soon as I walked out of the tunnel, I was surrounded by several dead soldiers. I finally broke out of the siege and exploded behind me.
If it had been a little later and Chen Wei's people had blocked the tunnel entrance...
Mr. Sun wiped the sweat from his head and did not dare to think about the consequences.
Explosions sounded one after another, and there was no trace of blood on his face.
There was no trace of blood on his face.
Seeing the fire exploding in the government office, Mr. Sun finally reacted and grabbed Qin Er.
"Look what you are doing, Lord Qin is still inside.
If you have nothing to do, go and try some gunpowder to see if it can explode, Mr. Qin is still inside."
Mr. Sun was so anxious that he beat his chest and stamped his feet.
If Qin Zhi is still dead, it will be useless for him to escape.
How could he defeat that old fox Chen Wei with his IQ?
Rather than being framed and executed by his plan, it would be better to die in gunpowder and be done with it.
Qin Zhihuan died in Jiangnan. Even if Chen Wei didn't trouble him, Qin Zhihuan's soldiers would not let him go.
And the Holy One might think that he and Chen Wei are in the same camp.
Mr. Sun thought of many results in a moment, but none of them were alive.
Qin Er was irritated by the noise. He raised his head and glanced at the people from the Nanqu team who were coming in the rain and fog, and threw Mr. Sun on the horse.
Mr. Sun was thrown to pieces by him and fell to pieces. Rain splashed on his face. He struggled for a few times before he sat up from the horse.
As soon as I sat down, I saw several horses approaching in the rain and fog on the opposite side.
