Hu Ling'er leaned slightly, as if something was flowing in her heart, but then she quickly covered it up. She lowered her head, looked at the rocks below, and tried to calm down her mind.
"Go a little further, wait a moment." Hu Ling'er directed Xia Yihan to stand on a pile of rocks, then slowly squatted down, sniffed down, and said with a look of joy: "This is it."
As she said that, she pointed to a guard standing there and said, "Don't move, and then pour the bucket of water along the gap between the stones here."
Xia Yihan looked at the place pointed by Hu Ling'er. Apart from the dense rocks, she couldn't see anything underneath.
The guard had no idea what was under his feet, but seeing the prince and princess looking so nervous, he couldn't help but feel worried.
He quickly took the big bucket from Xia Yihan's hand and poured all the water in as Hu Ling'er said.
The bucket of water was quickly empty. Hu Ling'er waited there quietly for a while, then squatted down and smelled it. After a while, a relaxed smile finally appeared on his face.
"Okay, you can continue moving." Turning back, she looked at Xia Yihan beside her: "Your Majesty, let's go down."
"That's it?" Xia Yihan looked at the water-filled stone a little suspiciously, and then at Hu Ling'er.
"Well, it's okay." Hu Ling'er nodded with a smile.
"What is that thing down there?" Until now, Hu Linger has not said what it is, which makes Xia Yihan a little depressed.
Hu Ling'er shook her head and pretended to be mysterious: "Let's go down first. We'll find out when we move away."
Xia Yihan had no choice but to jump off the pile of stones with her and stood where she was just now.
There, Sang Rong was filled with hatred, but because of her disguise, she couldn't see her true expression clearly, but the anger in her eyes was as if she wanted to eat someone.
As for Xiang Cheng, although he stood there expressionless, the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart could be seen from his clenched fists.
He didn't know how the princess saw through all this, and he didn't know if they had any suspicion on him. All he could do now was pretend to know nothing.
Fortunately, after Hu Ling'er and Xia Yihan came down, they didn't bother to hold him accountable. They just looked straight at the guards who were carrying stones.
Although the princess had just said it was okay, she had said it was so serious before and said she would be shattered to pieces. Could it be that a bucket of water could avert the danger?
They were still a little uneasy, and their movements couldn't help but be a little slower.
While waiting, Xia Yihan glanced slightly and looked at Hu Ling'er's profile.
But I saw a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, which seemed to be sarcastic, but seemed not to be cut off, but her face was firm.
There are really too many surprises and surprises in this woman, which makes him unable not to pay attention to her and pay attention to her...
If the final verification result shows that she is really related to Tang Ling, then he will not be surprised at all.
Because it is rare to meet one woman like them, but it is a miracle to meet two.
No, there is one more... What if there are three?
Doesn’t it mean that this is basically...
"My lord, I've discovered it!" At this moment, the guard's voice suddenly sounded.
Xia Yihan moved his steps and was about to step forward, but Xiang Cheng, who had been waiting beside him, said loudly: "My lord, didn't the princess just say that that thing is dangerous? Let me let my subordinates take a look first."
"There is no danger anymore." But before Xia Yihan spoke, Hu Ling'er's voice sounded lazily: "My lord, weren't you very curious just now? Go up and take a look."
Xiang Cheng's expression froze slightly, but he saw that Xia Yihan had already stepped forward, so he could only follow him.
Hu Ling'er looked at Xiang Cheng's back and raised her lips, but stayed where she was with no intention of coming forward. She turned her eyes for a moment and saw Sang Rong's expression that he wanted to tear her bones apart. She raised her eyebrows and replied.
A smile.
Xia Yihan stepped forward and saw a square package-like thing lying under the removed stone. It was bulging. The outside seemed to be a layer of special paper, which was now soaked by water.
Is this the only thing that can break them to pieces?
Xia Yihan was a little unbelievable, and the guards looked even more confused.
Only Xiang Cheng lowered his head, but sighed slightly in his heart. Such a perfect plan was about to succeed, but it was ruined by a woman.
But how did she discover this thing?
You must know that this is something that is difficult to find in the entire Tianqi Dynasty. It is impossible for people here to know its power.
But this Princess Han could spot it without even seeing it, and she could accurately describe its power.
It's really strange.
Xia Yihan asked someone to pick up the package, with water dripping from it, and brought it all the way to Hu Ling'er.
"Tell me, what is this?" Xia Yihan asked again patiently.
Hu Ling'er rolled up her sleeves and said nonchalantly: "Okay, the rocks have been moved away, so we can move on. As for the prince, if you want to know what this is, just ride in the carriage with me."
After saying that, she actually turned around and walked away, but after taking two steps, she turned back and said, "But I only want to tell you."
The implication is that if you want to come in, you can only come in alone.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell who it is aimed at.
Sang Rong was so angry that he almost jumped, but Xia Yihan hesitated for a moment and said to Sang Rong: "You can ride my horse for now."
After saying that, without waiting for Sang Rong to agree, he followed Hu Ling'er towards the carriage.
He actually followed Mu Wanru? And let her ride a horse by herself?
Sang Rong's eyes were filled with resentment and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Xia Yihan has changed, really changed.
The way Xiang Cheng looked at Sang Rong confirmed the suspicion he had in his heart before, and he couldn't help but feel slightly relieved.
He was actually a little glad that his plan just now didn't succeed. If he had let her die because he wanted to get rid of Xia Yihan, and the emperor would investigate him, he would probably die.
However, he was very curious as to why this girl Sang disguised herself as a maid and followed Xia Yihan?
Even if Xia Yihan is still reluctant to let go of this Miss Sang, this time she can only take the princess to pray for a day and a night at most, so there is no need to take this risk, right?
It's really hard to understand.
After thinking about it, he looked at the angry Sang Rong and stepped forward and said: "Girl, please get on your horse?"
Sang Rong had already doubted this city, and now he was angry. He just glared at him angrily, then turned over and jumped on Xia Yihan's horse, not even bothering to hide his skills.
Xiang Cheng was even more confused in his heart, but remained calm on the surface, beckoning everyone to start their journey again.
Besides, there were actually only two people in the carriage. Even Xiao Miao was "driven" out by Hu Ling'er to ride with Min Mo.
Obviously, she really didn't want the third person to know what she was going to say.
The carriage started slowly, and Xia Yihan finally said: "Why, you still refuse to tell me?"
As he said that, he lowered his head and looked at the package that had just been delivered to the carriage.
Hu Ling'er shrank back and said in fear: "You really dare to bring it up, aren't you afraid that it will break you to pieces?"
Xia Yihan glanced at Hu Ling'er and said calmly: "Didn't you just say that it is safe now?"
Hu Ling'er suddenly laughed, her eyebrows crescent and bright: "Do you believe me so much?"
"If you don't believe it, how could I get on this carriage?" Seeing that she kept rambling, Xia Yihan was obviously a little impatient, and her tone became stiff.
Hu Ling'er also felt that it was almost done, so she bent down and opened the wet package.
Xia Yihan stared at her movements. Within a moment, the package was opened, and she found that there were some black and red mushy objects inside, and there was a strange smell.
In the midst of doubts, Hu Ling'er picked up a little bit with her fingers, stretched it out in front of Xia Yihan, and asked, "Do you know what this is?"
Xia Yihan shook his head. If he knew, what else would he ask her for?
Seeing his denial, Hu Linger narrowed her eyes: "Then have you ever heard of gunpowder?"
"No." Xia Yihan continued to shake his head, and then said: "You mean, this thing is called gunpowder?"
"That's right!" Hu Ling'er nodded, with a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes: "This is a flammable product. When the amount is small, it will only emit a little flame, but if a large amount of gunpowder is put together and processed through special
After processing and packaging, it will become a powerful bomb. Let alone a human being, it can even destroy an entire city in an instant."
After hearing what Hu Ling'er said, Xia Yihan was shocked. After a long time, he said in confusion: "You...are you telling the truth?"
"Do you think it's necessary for me to lie to you?" Hu Ling'er shook her hand and shook off the gunpowder on her fingers: "But this kind of thing needs fire to ignite, and when it touches water, it will become something like mud."
Xia Yihan looked at the package opened by Hu Ling'er. At this moment, the things inside were really like mud.
This made it even more difficult for him to imagine that its power would be as powerful as Hu Ling'er just said.
But when he thought about it carefully, he immediately understood, and the coldness gradually appeared in his eyes: "So, this thing is placed under the stone, and when the stones are moved, they will rub against each other and generate sparks, which will most likely ignite it.
, until then..."
Xia Yihan's voice paused and didn't say any more, but Hu Ling'er nodded and accepted his words: "That's right, once this bag of gunpowder is ignited, not only the guards who were moving the rocks, but also those standing nearby
Both you and me will be shattered to pieces."
Looking at Xia Yihan's suddenly changed face, Hu Ling'er paused and added: "And such a strong explosion is very likely to cause a real landslide, and then the cause of our death will become a natural disaster. It's very careful.
