"Young merchants, even if you are lucky enough to be knighted, you still won't be able to get on the stage. You actually made us elders wait here for you for so long." Wang Ze said sarcastically.
"I am a son of a merchant, and I have never concealed it. In addition, you are just older, not my elder. Don't act like an elder in front of me." Lin Xuan said rudely.
Now that he has broken his skin, Lin Xuan will naturally not be angry with the Wang family anymore.
"You two, we came to this wilderness for business, not to see you playing tricks." Wei Chang said with a smile.
Lin Xuan said calmly: "As long as he doesn't mess with me, I won't bother to talk to him."
In his eyes, Wang Ze is already dead, why are you talking so much nonsense to him?
"You..." Wang Ze was so angry that he trembled with anger.
Lu Yuan quickly grabbed Wang Ze and whispered, "Wait a minute, let's see what he says first."
Cui Hao looked at Lin Xuan and said, "You asked us to come over. We are already here. Tell us, what do you want to talk about?"
"You all know about the movable type printing technology. I know that your family wants to kill me now." Lin Xuan seemed to be talking about another thing that had nothing to do with him, and his tone was very flat.
"The Marquis of Jingyang County is joking." Zheng Kai said.
But there was nothing joking about his expression.
There are some things that even if everyone knows well, they cannot be made explicit.
Lin Xuan was noncommittal and continued: "Of course I don't want to die, so I came to talk to you."
"Who in the world wants to die? But everyone will have this day, it's just a little earlier or a little later." Wang Ze sneered.
Lin Xuan nodded and said: "Yes, but you are so much older than me, you will definitely die in front of me."
Wang Ze said with a gloomy face: "That's not necessarily true. People have good and bad fortunes. Who can tell who will die first?"
Cui Hao said: "Lin Xuan, stop talking nonsense and just say it directly. What do you want to do when you call us over?"
"Even if I die, nothing will change. In that case, how about we live in peace?" Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Live in peace?
Only ghosts want to live in peace with you.
Seeing that they were silent, Lin Xuan smiled and said: "It seems that you don't want to. I brought something this time. You can consider it after you see it."
After speaking, Lin Xuan waved to Liu Da in the distance.
Liu Da untied the package from his horse and ran over with it in his arms.
Lin Xuan took the package from Liu Da's hand, placed it on the ground, and opened it.
Inside the package, I saw a tight package wrapped in oil paper.
Lin Xuan picked up the oil paper package and saw a thin black thread connected to the package.
Underneath the package, there are black lines.
This is the trump card and explosive prepared by Lin Xuan.
Gunpowder originated from alchemy in the Spring and Autumn Period, was later improved in the Sui Dynasty, and was used in military affairs during the Tang Dynasty.
However, due to the formula, the gunpowder at this time is not very powerful.
Mononitrate, disulfonate, and charcoal are the most reasonable formula for black gunpowder. Of course Lin Xuan knows that.
When he brought out the movable type printing technology, he was ready to use gunpowder to frighten the aristocratic family.
But because gunpowder was too dangerous, Lin Xuan had never made it before.
Otherwise, when facing the dead soldiers of the Wang family, his soldiers would not have suffered so many casualties.
Lin Xuan held the explosive pack in one hand and the fuse in the other, pointed at the hillside, and said to Liu Da: "Dig a hole half a foot horizontally."
"Master Hou, how big is the dig?" Liu Da asked.
Lin Xuan said: "As long as you can put down this package."
Liu Da nodded, took out the long knife from his waist, and started digging.
Cui Hao and others were a little confused and couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in Lin Xuan's gourd.
"Lin Xuan, what do you want to do? We don't have time to spend time here with you." Wang Ze said impatiently.
Lin Xuan ignored Wang Ze, looked at the others, and said, "Everyone, you'd better stay away. If you get hurt accidentally, don't blame me."
"What a joke, this thing can hurt us? Do you think we are scared?" Wang Ze sneered.
"You'd better listen to me." Lin Xuan said solemnly.
Although he wanted to kill Wang Ze, killing him at this time was tantamount to causing trouble for himself.
Cui Hao and the others didn't say anything. They saw that Lin Xuan's expression didn't look fake. But if they were scared away because of Lin Xuan's words, where would they put their faces?
"Master Hou, the digging is done." Liu Da patted the soil on his body.
Lin Xuan nodded, put the explosive package in, and carefully arranged the leads.
"Liu Da, go and lead the horses farther away and plug their ears with something." Lin Xuan said.
"Yes!" Liu Da responded and ran down the mountain.
Lin Xuan put a kilogram of gunpowder into this explosive bag, which would weigh a little more than one and a half kilograms in later generations.
For safety reasons, Lin Xuan prepared a twenty-meter lead wire.
After the twenty-meter fuse is burned out, he can run dozens of meters away, and it shouldn't be able to hurt him.
Cui Hao and others saw Lin Xuan retreating down the mountain and quickly followed.
With Lin Xuan taking the lead, they would not be embarrassed if they followed.
Lin Xuan finished arranging the leads, looked at the people following him, and said, "You guys stay away."
Although they didn't know what Lin Xuan was going to do, Cui Hao and the others felt frightened for some reason. They didn't persist and retreated another dozen meters.
Lin Xuan estimated that within 30 meters, no one would be hurt. At most, they would be a little frightened. So he didn’t try to persuade him any further.
As for whether it would scare them, Lin Xuan didn't care, as long as he didn't die.
Lin Xuan took out his lighter and saw that Liu Da was more than a hundred meters away from him, so he lit the fuse and ran away.
When Cui Hao and the others saw Lin Xuan running so fast, they unconsciously stepped back.
It's just that they have to maintain their grace, so naturally they can't run away like Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan ran dozens of meters and felt that the explosive was about to explode. He fell directly to the ground and covered his ears with his hands.
"Well, why is there still no movement?" After more than ten seconds, there was still no movement, which made Lin Xuan a little confused.
Could it be that the lead went out halfway?
"Boom~"
At this moment, there was a loud noise, and then Lin Xuan felt the ground beneath him vibrating.
“咴咴……”
The horses of the aristocratic family did not have their ears blocked. The horses were frightened by such a loud noise, screamed, and rushed forward.
The servants who were in charge of the horses were frightened by such a big movement and ran away without even bothering to get on the horses.
Lin Xuan got up and first looked at Liu Da and his horse. He was relieved when he saw that the horse was just walking around uneasily.
When Lin Xuan saw the appearance of Cui Hao and others, he couldn't help but laugh.
The few of them stood motionless and looked at the place where the explosion occurred, with their mouths open and some dirt falling on their bodies, looking very embarrassed.
Lin Xuan walked closer, stared at the lower bodies of several people, and shook his head with some regret.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that he's a pervert, it's that he wants to see if anyone is scared enough to wet their pants.
It's a pity that several people's pants are dry.
…
Chang'an, Imperial Palace.
Li Shimin was reviewing the memorial. A sudden loud noise made Li Shimin's hand shake in fright. He pressed the brush on the memorial, staining a large area black.
"Come here!" Li Shimin shouted.
"Your Majesty." Li Mu hurried in.
"Where did the loud noise just come from?" Li Shimin asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, the loud noise just now came so suddenly that I am not sure. It sounds like it came from the south." Li Mu said.
Li Mu's face was a little pale, and his prince was also frightened.
Now he felt a little wet in his crotch.
It's not that he is timid. Ever since he was tortured, the eunuch has become prone to urinary incontinence. Let alone being frightened.
