Yu Yizhi was shocked when he heard this and asked softly: "What kind of killer weapon is it?"
Ming Zhiyuan looked at Yu Yizhi, and for a moment he didn't know how to explain to him that there were countless things in the big house that could blow up people and monsters to pieces. To a lesser extent, the principle of that thing could be explained by firecrackers, but where are the firecrackers?
How powerful is the gunpowder pot?
He suppressed the fear in his heart and said: "Let's go out first and wait until we meet Senior Yang."
The two of them landed on the roof, and when the two patrol teams were unable to connect with each other, they returned to the garden and followed the way they came, sneaking out of Wangtian City's main palace.
I returned to the secluded alley where I was during the day, and after waiting for a while, Yang Yiling came back.
They found an uninhabited house in the alley, and the three of them sat down in the darkness.
Ming Zhiyuan spent a long time telling the two of them that if the things he saw in the warehouse of the main palace of Wangtian City were used to deal with Tianyuan and Jiuyan warriors, even if there were more warriors in the two continents than in the Lingding continent,
It can only fail miserably.
After he finished speaking, both Yu Yizhi and Yang Yiling were silent for a long time. Ming Zhiyuan was also thinking in his mind, why would someone in Lingding Continent create such a thing?
How is gunpowder made?
Can Tianyuan Continent produce it?
Lingding Continent will definitely bring such a lethal weapon to attack Tianyuan Continent? How can they deal with it?
He couldn't help but have messy thoughts in his mind. Unknowingly, the sky gradually became brighter and the light in the room became brighter. He looked at the two old men and saw a look of helplessness on their faces.
Ming Zhiyuan forced a smile and said: "You two don't have to worry too much. Now that we know what the big killer in Lingding Continent is? Then we can still think of ways to deal with it. Although the gunpowder can is extremely lethal, it may not be easy to use."
There is no way to suppress it.”
After a pause, he added: "Don't forget, they don't seem to have flying monsters, so there should be no monsters in this Lingding continent.
As long as we can find a way in the air, just like Senior Yang did in the past, intercepting the large ship of a single person on the sea, their gunpowder cans and eight-bed crossbows, no matter how powerful they are, can't hit the coast."
"But they can shoot flying monsters in the air."
Yang Yiling murmured.
Ming Zhiyuan shook his head, "They can shoot monsters in the air, but no matter how far the crossbow range is, can it shoot a thousand feet away? But monsters can fly a thousand feet high."
Yu Yizhi looked at him doubtfully, "It's useless to be able to fly a thousand feet high. It's not within their range, but it can't stop a few people from attacking Tianyuan Continent."
Ming Zhiyuan turned his head and thought for a moment, and said: "I don't know if this kind of thing is available in all the big cities in Lingding Continent? Or is it only available in Wangtian City? Not many people even in the main palace of Wangtian City know about such confidential things.
.”
Yang Yiling said: "I'm going to arrest someone from the City Lord's Mansion for interrogation."
"Absolutely not. We are here to inquire about information. We must not reveal any clues. If a few people find out about it and launch an attack in advance, we have not figured out how to deal with the gunpowder cans and the giant guns that can shoot nine at the same time.
Where’s the arrow’s crossbow machine?”
As soon as Ming Zhiyuan finished speaking, Yu Yizhi's eyes lit up and asked him: "Alchemist Zhiyuan, have you come up with a solution?"
Ming Zhiyuan shook his head, he still doesn’t know if this thing is unique to Wangtian City Lord, or if it is common to all Lingding Continent City Lords. We can always think of a way, but we also need to find out whether everyone has this thing?"
"Then go to other big cities and have a look. If other big cities also have it, it means that the city lords in the entire Lingding Continent have this thing."
Yu Yizhi nodded and said: "Yes, Brother Yang is right. Let's go to other big cities to check immediately."
Ming Zhiyuan nodded, "Time is urgent, let's go separately. The nearest big cities to Wangtian City are Senlan City, Xuwu City, and Tianhui City. Let's go to each big city to check, find out more and come back immediately. We should meet here."
Within half a month, no matter whether you have found any information or not, you must come back.
If you haven't come back after half a month, then treat it as a failure, leave others alone, and quickly return to Tianyuan Continent to send the news back."
Yu Yizhi opened his mouth and was about to stop him. He wanted Ming Zhiyuan to go with him. Ming Zhiyuan raised his hand to stop him and said: "No need to discuss, just like this, I will go to Senlan City, and Senior Yang will go to Xuwu City."
, the head of the old family went to Tianhui City.
Remember, no matter whether you have found any information within half a month, you must come back here. Those who cannot come back by then will be regarded as missing and lost their lives. No one needs to search for it, and they will return directly to Tianyuan."
Yang Yiling looked at the unquestionable look on Ming Zhiyuan's face, nodded heavily, stood up and said, "That's it."
Seeing that Yang Yiling had already agreed, Yu Yizhi had no choice but to nod as well.
...
The main palace of Senlan City and the back palace were in chaos, with servants searching everywhere for something.
The Lord of Senlan City was sitting in his daughter's courtyard, his face filled with anger, and he smashed the stone table into pieces with his palm.
Next to him stood the chief steward of the City Lord's Mansion, who was bending down and reporting to him, "Lord City Lord, Yun Fei has sent people to divide into four groups and pursue them from four directions.
The young lady had not been missing for a long time, and she did not take her mount out. For several hours, she could not escape within the three hundred miles radius of Forest Blue City.
I also sent people to search every house in the city, and we will definitely find the lady, so the city lord doesn’t have to worry."
After listening to the butler's words, Senlan City Lord's face softened a little. He thought for a moment and then said angrily: "I spoiled her rotten. I originally thought that she lost her mother when she was young. As a father, I should love her more."
Some, I didn’t expect that she would be so pampered and lawless that she would dare to leave the city lord’s mansion privately?”
The housekeeper said with a smile: "The young lady has a pure heart. She just couldn't think about it for a while and got angry, so she ran out. City Lord, don't be angry. He will comfort her when he finds the young lady."
"Humph, how easy is it to appease her? When she comes back, let her go to the execution hall to be tortured. If she doesn't discipline her well, won't she be embarrassed by me when she gets to Wangtian City in the future?"
The housekeeper smiled bitterly and shook his head, knowing that even though Senlan City Lord said this, if the young lady came back, he would only give a few words of instruction. The young lady has grown so big, and the city lord is not willing to touch a finger, so how can he be willing to send the young lady to
What about being tortured in the execution hall?
The Lord of Senlan City sat in his daughter's courtyard and thought for a long time, but still couldn't sit still, so he personally led a team of men to search in the mountains outside the city.
A hundred miles away from Senlan City, in a lofty mountain, Ming Zhiyuan and Liangzi had rested here for the night.
Ming Zhiyuan was thinking about how to sneak into Forest Blue City. The handsome guy on patrol dropped from the sky and walked behind him and said, "There is a woman coming towards us. Over there, should we hide?"
The handsome boy raised his hand and pointed in a direction down the mountain, asking for directions.
"female?"
"Well, it's just a woman who runs very fast."
"You fly up first, and I'll go to the tree and take a look before we talk."
The handsome boy spread his wings and flew away. Ming Zhiyuan climbed up to a big tree, picked a few branches to block his body, and looked in the direction pointed by the handsome boy.
After a while, a girl in colorful clothes stumbled towards the mountain.
She ran so fast that she couldn't help but pant. She held her dress in one hand and a dagger in the other. She stopped from time to time to look down the mountain and listened to what was going on below. She seemed to be avoiding the pursuers.
Ming Zhiyuan looked at the woman's figure in confusion, and saw her running staggeringly for a while, and came to the tree where he was hiding. He held the trunk and panted for a while, then slowly sat down and put the hand in his hand.
The dagger stuck into the earth.
After resting for a while, the woman held her face in her hands and began to cry. She cried for a long time. Then she wiped away her tears, took out a delicate water bottle from her waist, raised her head and drank two sips of water.
Before I finished drinking, I was stunned immediately.
She looked up at the tree blankly, and Ming Zhiyuan, who was looking down, also looked at her helplessly.
The two looked at each other for a long time, then the woman screamed in surprise, threw the kettle away, pulled out the dagger beside her, got up and hid aside, pointed the sword at Ming Zhiyuan who jumped down from the tree, and screamed:
"Who are you? What do you want to do? Don't come over, just go away."
In a panic, the girl stammered and waved the dagger in her hand wildly. Ming Zhiyuan looked at the girl carefully.
Although she looked frightened, she had a pretty face that was as white as jade, her eyes were like spots of ink, her nose was beautiful, and her white teeth were vaguely exposed in her small mouth that kept shouting. She was such a beautiful girl.
"This girl, I'm just passing by here. I'm here to take a rest. The girl is not panicked. I'm not a bad person. You and I just met by chance."
The girl's arm waving the dagger finally slowly stopped, but she still pointed the dagger at Ming Zhiyuan, "Are you passing by? Rest here?"
"Yes, I am indeed just passing by. Girl, there is no need to panic."
The girl took a few steps back, but her eyes like autumn water were still staring at Ming Zhiyuan, and she said dubiously: "Why are you resting in this barren mountain instead of resting in the city?"
Ming Zhiyuan smiled bitterly and said: "Senlan City requires a fee of twenty copper coins to enter the city. I was in a hurry and lost my purse. I have no money to pay the entrance fee, so I have to take a rest here."
The girl still didn't believe it and questioned: "You don't look like a child from a poor family. Why don't you take a servant with you when you go out? Do you still need to bring your own money?"
"Well... this is my first time traveling far away. I am following my master's orders and traveling around various cities, so I don't have any followers with me."
The girl looked Ming Zhiyuan up and down for a long time, then put down the dagger, held it in her hand, and said, "Which big city are you from?"
Ming Zhiyuan cupped his hands and said, "I'm from Yuanding City. I wonder who this girl is?"
The girl's expression paused and she said, "I, I'm from Senlan City."
"Oh, I see the girl is in a hurry. Did she meet some bad guy?"
The girl's mouth flattened and she almost cried. She choked for a long time before saying, "There are bad guys who want to chase me."
Ming Zhiyuan was stunned. This girl looked like she was ignorant of the world. She looked like she came from a wealthy family. How could she be hunted down?
"Girl, where is your family? Are you separated from your family?"
When the girl heard Ming Zhiyuan ask about her family, she wiped her tears with her hands and started crying again.
Ming Zhiyuan looked at her with some distress, waited for her to cry for a while, and then said: "Where is that girl going? Do you need me to take you there?"
The girl sobbed and said, "I don't know where I'm going? The people who bully me are my family."
As he spoke, tears fell down in strings. Ming Zhiyuan didn't know where such a little girl could get so many tears? She couldn't run out of tears.
He scratched the back of his head, wondering what the girl meant when she said her family was going to hunt her down.
"Why did the girl say that? Since we are a family, how could we bully you?"
"Just bully me, just bully me..."
The girl cried again, raising her hands to wipe away her tears.
"Girl, be careful."
Ming Zhiyuan took the dagger and wiped it on her face. She was also startled. He ducked and jumped in front of her as fast as lightning and snatched the dagger from her hand.
The girl was startled and stepped back, "You, you, what are you going to do?"
Ming Zhiyuan smiled bitterly, turned the dagger upside down, held the blade and handed it to her, "You almost wiped the sword on your face just now."
Only then did the girl remember what had just happened, she couldn't help but feel frightened, and her face became even paler.
"Okay, don't be afraid. It's okay. Fortunately, I have quick hands. Otherwise, it would be bad if I cut my face."
The girl took the dagger and wanted to hold it in her hand again. After thinking about it, she felt a little embarrassed. The person had just saved her face. It would be too unkind to hold the sword to defend against others, so she put the dagger away.
Put it away and hang it on your waist.
Ming Zhiyuan smiled slightly, thinking that the girl might have had a quarrel with her family and ran away in anger. He might be able to sneak into Senlan City in the name of sending her home.
Judging from the appearance of this girl, her family must be a well-known portal in Forest Blue City. If she can find out something about the Lord's Mansion of Forest Blue City through her family, it will be easier for me to act accordingly.
