Chapter 408 408 Patience, the winner is the one who laughs in the end
Working from midnight to dawn without stopping for a moment, Ji Yunkai made a total of fifty-five explosives.
"Is that enough?" Ji Yunkai yawned, stood up, stretched his waist, and moved his limbs.
She had been immersed in doing things, and now her back was really sore and painful, as if her horse had been shaken.
"Enough." In fact, it was not enough, but Ji Yunkai was obviously tired. Even if he was unreasonable, he would not squeeze people to death.
"Then I'm going to sleep." After one night of riding horses, being ambushed, and working for most of the night, Ji Yunkai was really tired and sleepy. She desperately needed to rest.
Yawning all the way, Ji Yunkai staggered all the way, rubbing his eyes as he walked. He was not as shrewd as usual at all, and looked like a confused and ignorant child. Xiao Jiuan couldn't help but couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
After Ji Yunkai drove away, Xiao Jiuan did not leave immediately. Instead, he sat where Ji Yunkai was sitting, took over her previous work, and began to make explosives unhurriedly.
He wanted to blow up a mountain and only had fifty or so explosives. How could he do it?
Xiao Jiuan's movements seemed to be unhurried and very regular, but the speed was not slow and very standard. The time it took to make an explosive was comparable to that of Ji Yunkai, an experienced hand.
If Ji Yunkai were here, he would be so depressed that he would vomit blood.
She is Ji Yunkai, known as a genius girl. Why is it that everyone she meets is better than her in every aspect?
She even suspected that her genius name was bought with money and was all water.
As soon as Xiao Jiuan started doing it, his speed was on par with Ji Yunkai's. When he reached the tenth time, his speed increased significantly. The frequency of movements remained the same, but his hand speed was so fast that only afterimages could be seen.
I can't see his specific actions.
Ji Yunkai spent two and a half hours from last night to now and made fifty-five explosives. Xiao Jiuan took over from the morning and only spent one and a half hours to make fifty-five explosives.
The difference between the two can be seen.
A total of one hundred and ten explosives were placed in most of the house. Xiao Jiuan ordered people to bring clay blocks and disguise all the explosives. Then he had people pack them into boxes, place them layer by layer, and quickly send them to the mine.
The guards carried the big wooden box out of the city and were stopped by the soldiers guarding the city at the city gate. They checked them one by one before letting them go.
After the soldier finished the investigation, he immediately went to the palace to report that the guards of the Yanbei Palace had carried several large boxes of mud out of the city, and they didn't know what they were used for.
"Mud?" After receiving the news, the emperor was really shocked.
"What is Xiao Jiu'an trying to do? To make a fuss? To lure you into a urn?" The emperor already knew that Xiao Jiu'an and Ji Yunkai were ambushed and killed by the 18th bachelor of Yinlou on their way back to the city last night, but he didn't know who did it.
hand.
The emperor thought for a moment and then said: "Let someone follow him first, and... can the commander of the Imperial Army send news?" No matter what Xiao Jiuan wants to do or who he wants to lure, he must keep a close eye on the person first.
"No." The guard paused for a moment before shaking his head and saying.
"There's no news of asking for help?" It's been a whole day and a night, but there's no news at all.
"Back to the emperor, no. Previously, our people saw strange movements in the forest, but it calmed down after dawn. Those who sneaked into the forest did not find the Forbidden Army in the forest, nor did they see any traces of fighting.
"The guard thought for a while and then told everything he knew.
No matter what, they told everything they knew about the situation. What the emperor would do next was beyond their control.
"No figure? Did he pass through the woods, or something happened?" The emperor rubbed his chin and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The guard heard the emperor's words and did not answer. Instead, he lowered his head and said nothing. He knew that the emperor was not asking him.
Sure enough, after a moment, the emperor spoke again: "Try to contact the Forbidden Army. If there is no news before dark, immediately mobilize troops and rush in forcefully."
Until the end, he didn't want to break up with Xiao Jiu'an. If the two sides couldn't afford to conflict, it was best not to openly conflict.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard received the order and bowed down.
…
If the emperor can find out that Xiao Jiuan and Ji Yunkai were assassinated on their way back to Beijing last night, it is even more impossible for Princess Tianwu and Beichen Tianque who have been keeping an eye on them not to know about it.
The cooperation between Tianwu and Tianqi was temporarily suspended, and Princess Tianwu's injuries were fine and she had returned to the inn long ago. During this period, Princess Tianwu was very peaceful, staying at the inn and rarely going out.
It's not that Princess Tianwu doesn't want to talk about it, but it's that there is no way to talk about it. At least before the first batch of colored glaze is produced in Crown Prince Duan's Liulic Square, Emperor Tianqi will not talk to Princess Tianwu.
Of course, Princess Tianwu would not talk to Emperor Tianqi at this time.
The first point of cooperation between Tianwu and Tianqi is the sale of colored glaze. If Tianqi can make colored glaze, and can make it as good as Tianwu, how can Tianwu ask Tianqi to buy their colored glaze at a high price?
If Tianqi doesn't buy their colored glaze at a high price, how can Princess Tianwu make concessions in other aspects?
Therefore, Tianqi and Tianwu would not discuss cooperation before Crown Prince Duan fired the colored glaze. As for what happened after that?
That's what happens later.
During this period, Princess Tianwu had nothing to do. Apart from interacting with the dignitaries of Tianqi, she stayed at the inn every day. However, just because she stayed at the inn did not mean that she was at ease.
Princess Tianwu brought a lot of people to Tianqi this time, both openly and secretly. Although she suffered some losses, the skinny camel was bigger than the horse. No matter how few people she had, there was no shortage of people to keep an eye on Xiao Jiuan and Ji Yunkai.
When she learned that Xiao Jiuan and Ji Yunkai were ambushed and killed by the 18th Bachelor of the Yinlou, Princess Tianwu, like the Emperor, her first reaction was to ask who did it?
She knew that this was definitely not done by Beichen Tianque. If Beichen Tianque could hire people from Yinlou, they would not let their own people take action.
"Killing Xiao Jiu'an is not an ordinary difficulty. Who is so proud that Yinlou can take over this business?" The more he couldn't think of the person who did it, the more he wanted to know. Princess Tianwu immediately ordered someone to investigate the recent situation.
Who has anything to do with Yinlou?
"By the way, where are those people? Are they still in the Yanbei military camp and haven't come out?" During these days, Princess Tianwu not only had people keeping an eye on Xiao Jiuan and Ji Yunkai, but also had people keep an eye on those who embarrassed her on the street that day.
The group of people who were then sent out of the city by Ji Yun.
She has always been petty, but now that she can't do anything to Ji Yunkai, she can't touch Ji Yunkai, so why can't she touch a few ordinary people?
She, Tianwu, was going to decide the lives of those ordinary people. Unless Ji Yunkai could protect them and let them stay in the military camp for the rest of their lives, they would die as soon as they came out.
Unfortunately, the news reported by her subordinates once again disappointed Princess Tianwu. Those people were still staying in the military camp and seemed to have no intention of coming out.
"Keep staring." Princess Tianwu heard this. Although she was a little disappointed, she was not discouraged.
Again, she didn't believe that Ji Yunkai could hide those people for a lifetime, and she didn't believe that Xiao Jiu'an would let a group of people of unknown origin stay in Yanbei Military Camp.
She is talented and has no other qualities, but she is very patient. There is still a long time to come, and just because she is laughing happily does not mean that she will have the last laugh... (To be continued)
