As soon as the two of them climbed out of the secret passage, they heard a loud "boom". A fire broke out in the military camp behind them, and the sound of explosions was mixed with.

"Brothers, go!"

More than twenty craftsmen ran towards the military camp of Southern Jin.

The explosion was really not small. When the sentry at the gate tower of the Southern Jin military camp saw it, they hurriedly ran to report to Yan Junqing.

"What? You said Xuanyuan Jing's military camp exploded and caught fire?"

"Well, yes, yes..." The sentry ran all the way, panting.

"Don't be anxious, just say it slowly!" Yan Junqing said.

The sentry swallowed hard and said, "I don't know what's going on, but it suddenly exploded. I watched those people put out the fire from afar!"

Before he finished speaking, another soldier ran in and knelt on the ground with one leg, "Report to the Prime Minister, twenty craftsmen who said they had escaped from Xuanyuan Jing's military camp came outside, and wanted to surrender to the Southern Jin Dynasty. General Hong asked me to ask the Prime Minister what he meant, and should he let them come?"

Yan Junqing pondered for a moment and said, "Let them come in!"

"yes!"

Soon, twenty craftsmen were brought in.

The leading craftsman knelt down first, "I've met the prime minister!"

Yan Junqing said: "What's your name?"

"When I say to the prime minister, my little one is Zhou Da. He is a craftsman who makes artillery. These are my brothers!" Zhou Da replied.

"You have set the fire in Xuanyuan Jing's military camp?" Yan Junqing asked.

"yes!"

"Why do you do this?"

Zhou Da looked up excitedly and said, "Xuanyuan Jing wants to kill us. We are really forced to do nothing. In order to survive, we can only surrender to you, Prime Minister. I heard that you never kill innocent people indiscriminately, so our brothers decided to surrender to you!"

"You made the cannons in front of Xuanyuan Jing formation?"

"Yes! We have been studying for more than two months and finally developed this kind of long-distance lethal cannon. However, the production of the gunpowder cannon requires a lot of gunpowder. We only made one gunpowder bullet in total, which was used by Xuanyuan Jing to blow up your floating bridge this morning. She asked us to make a gunpowder bullet before night, but the gunpowder was not enough. I said that if we couldn't make it, she would use military law to deal with it and kill more than 20 of our brothers! Prime Minister, we are just ordinary craftsmen, we also have family members, we don't want to die. Please ask Prime Minister to take us in!" Zhou Da said as he knocked his head and thumped.

The people behind him also kept kowtowing and shouting, "Prime Minister, help..."

Yan Junqing waved his hand and they stopped, "Don't worry, since you are here sincerely to surrender to us, I will naturally take you in!" After that, he asked the soldiers to take them down to rest.

"Prince, what do you think?"

Feng Wu reached out and knocked on the table, "You still can't take it lightly. Who knows if this is Xuanyuan Jing's trick? If these people surrender, and with that sky-bombing cannon, we are really helpless, what do you think?"

Yan Junqing nodded, "It's better to be cautious at this time. But I believe their words. If this is the case, we can take the opportunity to attack him and fight him!"

"It's not too late to make a decision when the spy returns!" Hongying said.
