Chapter 529: I might as well tell you that I invented gunpowder
After leaving the person under the knife, they had a simple conversation.
Qin Feng said respectfully: "It turns out that he is the general of Liaoyuan under the command of the King of Chu. His name has been admired for a long time."
Cang Feilan took back the dagger and asked curiously: "Does Mr. Xian know him?"
How could we possibly know each other? It was just polite words on the scene. After all, you almost killed someone just now. I have to find a way to ease it... Qin Feng coughed dryly and said with a guilty conscience: "Who knows the name of General Liaoyuan?
Who doesn’t know, of course I’ve heard of it.”
Liao Yuan touched his neck and saw a faint trace of blood at the beginning. He looked at the sassy woman and narrowed his eyes. She really wanted to kill him just now!
"There's no need for polite words. The generals and soldiers under King Chu's command don't have much reputation in the Western Regions. I know this very well." Liao Yuan said in a deep voice.
General, if you chat with others like this on weekdays, you probably don't have many friends... Qin Feng's face stiffened and he laughed dryly: "General, you are too humble."
Liaoyuan didn't waste any more words and said directly: "Although you saved Huilin City, you still can't hide the fact that you secretly hid gunpowder.
And hiding gunpowder privately is a serious crime. I want to take you to see the King of Chu.
Of course, I will also explain the matters here to King Chu, so that your merits and demerits may be balanced."
Hearing this, Cang Feilan frowned slightly and touched the dagger at her waist with her right hand.
When Xiaobai heard this, he angrily said to Liaoyuan: "You are not allowed to take my brother away."
Liu Jianli watched quietly, his expression as usual.
But it was this woman in white who was neither happy nor angry who brought the greatest sense of danger to Liaoyuan. He had an illusion that his head was a little ethereal, as if it would fall off at any time.
A drop of cold sweat slipped from his forehead. He was used to seeing life and death in Liaoyuan, and his palms were soaked with sweat.
When the people in Huilin City heard this, they were puzzled and denounced him. Some even threw vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at Liaoyuan.
"When there was a crisis in the city, you were nowhere to be seen. Now that the crisis is over, you want to capture our benefactor. How is it that you want to kidnap us?"
"That's it, get out of Huilin City, we don't welcome you!"
"What kind of bullshit is King Chu's army? They only stay in King Chu's city. When have I ever seen you doing anything for the people?"
"We don't allow you to take away your benefactor!"
"That's right, get out of here!"
The crowd was agitated and became increasingly uncontrollable.
Until one person said: "Stop it!"
Everyone saw clearly who was speaking and put down what they were holding.
Qin Feng patted the vegetable leaves off his body, took out a clean towel from his arms, and wiped the egg liquid from his face.
Yes, he was accidentally injured.
"My dear friend, are you okay?" Someone asked with a guilty conscience, and threw the rotten egg behind without leaving any trace. It was obvious that the egg liquid on Qin Feng's face was thanks to him.
Qin Feng shook his head, then looked at Liaoyuan and said lightly: "You and I will go to see the King of Chu."
"What?!" Everyone couldn't believe what they heard.
If concealing gunpowder is really a serious crime, wouldn't my benefactor be trapped in a trap?
"But...someone from your Chu King's army must stay here to prevent the demons from invading the city again." Qin Feng said seriously.
Liao Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked directly at Qin Feng. After a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay."
...
The current location of King Chu is in the Tiancheng area where Huilin City originally planned to ask for help.
It is precisely because of this that the King of Chu's army went on expeditions and patrols nearby.
The horse's hoofbeats sounded urgent. Liao Yuan glanced at Qin Feng and asked lightly: "Although I have said before, hiding gunpowder secretly and saving Huilin City can offset the merits and demerits.
But it is also possible that you can escape the death penalty, but the living penalty is inevitable. Knowing this, why do you still want to go to see the King of Chu with me?
What's more, with the strength of your two ladies, if they want to take you away, there is nothing I can do.
After all...I can't possibly joke with the lives of our soldiers."
Qin Feng's face froze: "General Liao's words are really scary, do we look like a god of death?"
After a pause, he whispered to Cang Feilan who was riding the horse: "Madam, please calm down the murderous aura in your body.
Also, don’t put your hand on the dagger, this horse is running a little bumpy..."
Cang Feilan frowned slightly, but still did as Qin Feng said.
Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile: "With General Liao's strength, he can definitely use his strength to block those things thrown at him.
Why do you remain motionless and suffer in silence?"
Liaoyuan fell into silence and did not answer the question. After a moment, he seemed to make up his mind, tightened the reins of his horse and said: "You go, leave from this mountain road, I will just pretend I haven't seen you today."
This was far beyond Qin Feng's expectation. He originally thought that this general was a one-sided man, but he didn't expect that he still had some human touch.
But he still shook his head and said: "You and I are meeting the King of Chu because we have something to report to him.
Moreover, I can tell you clearly that the gunpowder I carried with me did not violate the original decree of Emperor Ming."
"What do you mean by this?" Liao Yuan frowned.
Qin Feng smiled and said: "I might as well tell you something, I invented this gunpowder.
Isn’t it reasonable for me to carry some of my own inventions with me?”
Hearing this, the surrounding soldiers all cast surprised glances.
Liao Yuan looked at Qin Feng quietly, looking at the latter's sworn appearance. After a long time, he said: "Being able to use the formation, he must be a scholar of the Holy Way.
Could it be that all scholars are like you and can talk nonsense?
That’s all, I’ve already given you the opportunity anyway, whatever choice you have left is your own business.”
Qin Feng's expression froze.
You don't believe me?
What about the most basic trust between people?
...
Work hard and have a safe journey.
Everyone soon arrived at Mingqi City, the heavenly city where King Chu lived.
Due to the catastrophe in the Western Region, major cities in the sky were under martial law, and Mingqi City was naturally no exception. Not to mention, the King of Chu who was in charge of the Western Region at the moment was also in Mingqi City.
Liao Yuan looked at the heavily guarded city gate not far away and reminded him for the last time: "The King of Chu respects the rules and will not tolerate you hiding gunpowder secretly. Leaving now is your last chance."
Qin Feng glanced sideways and said meaningfully: "I have further changed my opinion of you. You are a good person. Please lead the way."
Liao Yuan frowned, but said nothing more and rode his horse to the front of the team.
With his guidance, the group was able to move smoothly, and not long after, they arrived at the courtyard where the King of Chu was.
Qin Feng saw a middle-aged man wearing a war robe, calm and powerful, sitting on a stone chair next to the stone platform.
It was the King of Chu from the Western Regions whom I had met at the New Year Congratulations Ceremony in Fengtian City!
The latter raised his head and looked at Qin Feng and his group, especially when he saw Qin Feng, his eyes showed a meaningful look.
Liao Yuan glanced at Qin Feng beside him, and after a slight hesitation, he stepped forward and explained what happened.
He talked a lot about Qin Feng and others' rescue of Huilin City, but the matter of hiding gunpowder was dealt with lightly...
"...Your Majesty King of Chu, although this man hid gunpowder secretly, he used all the gunpowder to save the people of Huilin City. He may be able to make up for it. I hope you will be lenient."
The King of Chu looked towards Liaoyuan with a half-smile but not a smile: "When will my General Zhenxi intercede on behalf of others? It's interesting.
But do you know who these people are?"
Liao Yuan was stunned and shook his head: "I only know that this person's surname is Qin, and I don't know anything else."
