"Yes." Thirteen took the explosive package and distributed it. He sent a message to everyone to step back, lit the fuse, and threw the explosive package into the center from four directions.
"Master, there are seven or eight more people coming from the other side. They are very powerful. We have lost more than half of our people." A man covered in blood stumbled back and reported.
"Only a dozen people can kill over a hundred people." The man's sinister voice was filled with surprise.
"Yes..." The person who came hit the ground with his sword to prevent him from falling, "Moreover, the other party seems to have no casualties..."
"Let's go through the secret passage." The gray-haired old man continued to persuade, "You can't be exposed, and the follow-up matters need to be considered in the long run."
"Humph!" The man put on his mask and picked up the sword on the table.
The old man was about to continue his persuasion when he heard several loud "boom" and "boom" noises, and the tremors of the earth and mountains shook. The acrid gun smoke dispersed, and the beams made mournful "click" and "click" sounds.
"If you don't leave, the house will collapse and block the entrance to the secret passage. You won't be able to leave even if you want to." The old man said anxiously.
The man took a deep breath to calm down, but was choked by the smoke in the air and coughed: "Cough, cough, cough, get out!"
The old man was relieved and quickly activated the mechanism. The man led the old man and several guards into the secret passage and ran wildly.
Before the entrance to the secret passage was completely closed, the entire roof fell down. The mechanism was stuck there, and the entrance was only half closed.
Si Haochen put the binoculars into his pocket: "Fifteen, you and Lao Tie go into the secret passage and give chase. It's best to deal with the old man. If you can't catch up, don't force it."
"Yes." Fifteen led five people and got into the half-closed entrance of the secret passage to pursue them.
"Master, an underground secret room was exploded in the east wing. There are several boxes of silver and some stored grain in it." Chu Yi came to report.
"You guys search here and bring back everything useful." Si Haochen ordered and went back alone. He had been out for too long, and his wife should be worried.
Si Haochen made a special trip to the city on his way back and bought a few snacks that Mingruo liked and the special snacks of Qingzhou City.
Passing by a stall selling paper kites, Linglong landed on a butterfly kite and refused to leave: Ba Ba, this is as cute as the Lun family, my baby wants it!
Although he didn't understand the specific meaning of the Gu spirit, he could tell that it wanted the paper kite. Si Haochen rubbed his forehead. If he didn't buy it for it - people on the street would probably see a kite after a while.
Fly there by yourself...
"Young master, you have such good taste. This paper kite is made of fine silk. It is more wind-resistant than paper and can fly higher." The vendor took off the kite and handed it to Si Haochen, "Look at the workmanship.
, how precise.”
"How much?" Si Haochen had no choice but to kill the Gu spirit that was holding on to the kite.
"Only three hundred coins," the vendor replied with a smile.
Si Haochen took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve pocket and threw it to the vendor: "No need to look for it."
"Thank you, sir." The vendor brought the kite and the spool to Si Haochen, "I'll get you the best spool."
Si Haochen took the kite and the spool and seemed to be saying to himself: "I will tie the thread for you when I get back and let you go as a kite!"
Linglong flapped her wings: Baba, what are you talking about? The baby can’t understand... I can’t understand...
Zhang Jinliang stood on the bow of the ship like a "watching stone", as if to see how many people Prince Yun had brought out, and to judge what they were probably doing.
The noon sun made people feel dizzy, and Zhang Jinliang was also a ruthless person, so he stood there all day long.
The young apprentice fanned him with a cattail leaf fan and said, "Master, please go back to your room and rest for a while. I'll watch it for you."
"No." Zhang Jinliang wiped the sweat from his forehead. Who Prince Yun is is not something ordinary people can see clearly.
It was not until the afternoon that His Royal Highness Prince Yun arrived late. He was carrying two packages of snacks in one hand and a paper kite in the other. None of the attendants brought them with him. It seemed that he was just strolling on the street with nothing to do, and even brought snacks for the princess.
Children and gadgets.
"Yun...His Royal Highness Prince Yun." Zhang Jinliang stepped forward to greet him.
Si Haochen glanced at Zhang Jinliang and walked straight upstairs. Zhang Jinliang felt that this disdainful and impatient look was very familiar. Thinking about it carefully, it was exactly the same as the look Princess Yunqin looked at him in the morning. This
That is - not a family, don't enter the same door?
Si Haochen didn't come back from lunch. Mingruo was a little worried and couldn't sleep during the lunch break, so he flipped through a travel journal.
Hearing the familiar footsteps, Mingruo put down the book in his hand: "You're back."
Si Haochen walked into the cabin and put the things in his hands on the table: "Why didn't you take a nap?"
"Waiting for you." Mingruo helped Si Haochen get a basin of water, "It's hot now, let's wash up first."
"Okay." Si Haochen took off his robe and washed his face, feeling refreshed.
"There is some cool mung bean soup, you can drink it to cool down the heat." Mingruo poured a bowl of mung bean soup for Si Haochen, "I made smoked fish and rouge duck breast for lunch, do you want it with porridge or rice?
"
"Anything is fine." Si Haochen finished drinking the mung bean soup and took his wife into his arms. The familiar fragrance lingered in his nose. Si Haochen sighed, "No need to be busy, just let my husband hold her for a while."
"You've been busy all morning, aren't you hungry?" Mingruo was angry and funny.
"I'm not hungry or tired when I hold my wife in my arms. I'm as happy as a god." Si Haochen kissed Mingruo gently on the forehead, "I bought you snacks and candies."
"Oh." My husband not only has a sweet mouth, but the things he bought are also very sweet. Mingruo's heart is really sweet, "He also bought a paper kite?"
"It wants it." Si Haochen pointed at Linglong, who was still stuck to the kite and refused to move.
"Hey, Linglong will ask you for something..." Mingruo covered her mouth and snickered.
"Humph." Si Haochen rested his chin on Mingruo's slender shoulder.
Mingruo told Si Haochen about the sawtooth beetle, and Si Haochen nodded to express his understanding.
"I know, Thirteen and the others just happened to track down the other courtyard that I was tracking." Si Haochen gave a general overview of the situation in the other courtyard.
"Have you caught the person behind the scenes?" Mingruo's eyes lit up.
"The leader in the other courtyard is Lao Wu. He shouldn't be the real person behind the scenes. So, let him run away first..." Si Haochen straightened the broken hair around Mingruo's ears, "All the clues are too scattered.
, if you lose this important node, it will be even more difficult to sort out."
"What exactly does he want to do?" Ming Ruo intuitively felt that the fifth prince's behavior was strange, "Even if he wants to fight, he should fight with his brothers. If he comes up against us, it will only consume his strength, and there will be no benefit.
?”
"So, he must have been instigated by others." The sarcasm on Si Haochen's face was clear, "With his character, even if he is dissatisfied with me, he will not take action now. If he has this spare time, he will first kill the prince.
