738. Chapter 738 Completion of Sadness: Peach Blossoms [8]
Gunpowder, not explosives, was invented in ancient China during the time of Qin Shihuang, and was mostly used for alchemy. It has been discovered for more than 300 years in this time and space, when there was no previous dynasty, and it originated from a palace pyrotechnics merchant.
After more than 300 years of evolution, gunpowder has become extremely lethal. Because the lethality of gunpowder has become increasingly powerful, since the late period of the previous dynasty, gunpowder has become a prohibited item in the imperial court, just like Wushisan. After Emperor Hong'an came to power,
, is also specifically included in the national laws. Without the approval of Emperor Hong'an, anyone who makes or hides gunpowder privately will be treated as treason.
Originally, she had already known that the assassination must be carried out by the arm of a certain prince. Seeing the gunpowder, Mu Jieyu knew that the matter was far more complicated than she thought, because no prince could create it under the nose of Emperor Hong'an.
With so much gunpowder, no big family can hide such gunpowder quietly, because as long as gunpowder-related materials are purchased in large quantities, no matter what the purpose is, Emperor Hong'an will not hesitate to use them.
execution.
So where did such a large amount of gunpowder come from? Thinking of the fact that the Lu family, whose trading houses were spread throughout Huaiyuan, had not come to support, Mu Jieyu immediately understood a general idea. In Huaiyuan, Lu family could be contained in a short time.
The only thing that belongs to the family is the power of the Yongjing Chamber of Commerce, which is equally dispersed and equally huge. The difference is that the Lu family is just a family of merchants, while the Yongjing Chamber of Commerce is backed by family members!
The injury on his foot was still aching due to the intense running and even after applying a large amount of anesthesia in time. While Mu Jieyu followed Xuanyuan Zhirong and ran with all his strength, he secretly swore that no matter how many people were involved behind today's actions, no matter how many people were behind today's actions, Mu Jieyu
Who is the background of the person behind this? As long as she has a hand in it, she will make them and even their clan pay an unbearable and painful price for what they have done today!
The sound of bombings was deafening, one after another. The people in the four streets connected to Luomeiyuan were panicked and fled in all directions. As for Mu Jieyu and Xuanyuan Zhirong in the center of the flames, they were protected by Bai Qian and Wang Ke.
He was running around in embarrassment, unable to care whether his feet would explode at any time, so he could only rush forward as fast as he could.
The surrounding area was filled with smoke and dust due to the gunpowder. In the white light, raging flames began to fly. As he ran, he caught a glimpse of the fire that should not be caused by gunpowder alone. Mu Jieyu's eyes were as cold as ice.
We will never give up until we kill them!
"Arong, let me down!" Mu Jieyu, who was still being led by Xuanyuan Zhirong as she ran all the way, was unexpectedly pulled by Xuanyuan Zhirong and hugged her tightly.
"Min'er, if you don't want you and me to die, don't move again." Xuanyuan Zhirong kept walking and whispered to Mu Jieyu, who was not very cooperative.
Knowing that the more she struggled now, it would only harm Xuanyuan Zhirong, Mu Jieyu cooperated obediently, but looking at Xuanyuan Zhirong who was clenching her teeth and looking increasingly pale, her heart ached.
"Your Majesty, Miss, go through this dark tunnel." Bai Jian led the three of them to a dark tunnel.
Although he knew that the gunpowder was buried underground, Xuanyuan Zhirong, who believed deeply in Mu Jieyu, did not hesitate to jump down with Mu Jieyu in his arms, followed by Wang Ke and then Bai Qian.
