A flurry of inquiries suddenly rang out around them. Jiang Zhiyu looked at the Nan Gu King, who stood up with a very grim expression, and chuckled, "Your Majesty, it would be best if your people could calm down first."

Before King Nan Gu could speak, the people around him had already shut up.

Looking at them with anger or fear.

Jiang Zhiyu nodded with satisfaction. "As for me, I only believe in one thing: the truth is only within the range of cannons. The two of us are insignificant, so during our time in Nan Gu, I secretly buried some gunpowder on the roadside."

"It's an improved version. As for its power, you all just heard about it."

"Well, I think we can sit down and talk now?"

The whole place was dead silent.

There was still an angry expression on their faces, and their mouths were open, but no sound came out, as if they were performing a ridiculous pantomime.

Their whereabouts were never concealed. King Nan Gu sent people to follow them for a while, but then stopped.

Although he didn't know whether what Jiang Zhiyu said was true or not, he didn't dare to gamble.

"Don't worry, it's just these few days. I'm easy to get along with. If you don't get along well with me, look for the problem in yourselves."

"If it weren't for this incident, I wouldn't bother to expose myself."

Everyone: “…”

Their expressions were full of excitement, and it was obvious that they all wanted to curse, but they swallowed it back.

After a while, the Southern Gu King finally managed a smile. "Yes, Envoy Jiang is easygoing, and everyone knows that. Today, it was indeed Clo who went too far in bullying. He deserved this fate."

"We've all signed a life and death agreement, so we should leave our fate to fate. We were too excited just now, which led to some misunderstandings. Envoy Jiang, please don't blame us."

[The reason he was able to become emperor was because he possessed the most desirable quality of an emperor—the ability to bend and stretch.]

Jiang Zhiyu chuckled: "I understand."

The tense atmosphere just now died down in an instant. Kit's teeth were almost broken, but he knew that he couldn't make a sound at this time, so he had to swallow it down.

He ordered people to put Clo's body down. When checking, he found that there were scars on both of Clo's palms.

Kit's anger grew even stronger.

After cleaning up, the sound of dancing and music started, and everyone continued chatting as if nothing had happened.

But this time, no one dared to come in front of Jiang Zhiyu and Jiang Wenjing.

Except Casas.

He leaned forward and said, "When I saw you moving so slowly at first, I thought you didn't know how to shoot an arrow. I was shocked."

"Who is your teacher? Can you teach me someday?"

Jiang Wenjing looked at him silently, and Jiang Zhiyu nodded.

The magic trick that had been prepared would probably not be performed now. Jiang Zhiyu looked at Casas who was leaning forward, his eyes lighting up slightly.

"I'm going to tell you something you may not believe, but I'm actually a messenger of God."

Jiang Wenjing: "..."

Casas: “!!!”

Divine messenger?!

Casas became interested: "Is it the same as the high priest? Do you people of Apocalypse also perform sacrifices or something? But I remember that Apocalypse didn't do that before..."

Jiang Zhiyu raised a finger and shook it: "Nonono, we don't perform sacrifices, we just calculate normally."

"Calculation?"

Jiang Zhiyu took out the prepared playing cards from his arms and simply taught him to recognize the suits.

Then give him the cards and ask him to shuffle them.

"Pick one at random, don't say it out loud, remember it in your mind, and then put it back."

Casas drew a card as she said, looked at it from behind, and put it back.

Jiang Zhiyu took the cards and began to shuffle them. He gave him a mysterious look and said, "Is the Four of Hearts a pair?"

Casas' eyes widened slightly. Jiang Zhiyu placed the shuffled cards in front of him and said, "Turn over the first one."

Casas reached out and flipped it open, and it was a four of hearts!

He let out a small exclamation.

Jiang Wenjing also looked at the pieces of paper in surprise.

"To be honest, even though these pieces of paper look like thin pieces, believe it or not, they can easily take the life of anyone present."

"Do you want to see it?"

Casas was rarely moved.

He raised his eyes, and everyone who had been silently paying attention to this side turned their eyes away, avoiding looking at him.

Although he was tempted, Casas shook his head slightly: "No."

"So what does the Four of Hearts represent? What did you deduce?"

【This means it's a magic trick.】

Jiang Zhiyu said mysteriously, "How can we talk about this kind of thing in public? Let's talk about it in private."

【I’ll tell you after I finish editing it.】

Casas nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Wenjing: "..."

He glanced at Casas, who was fooled and sighed slightly.

It's not just him, the entire Nan Gu was fooled.

The gunpowder was buried, but only in two places.

I'm afraid that tonight and the next few days, all the people in Nan Gu will not be quiet, and they are eager to turn the Nan Gu's land upside down.

…

On the other side, the young man who pretended to be Ji Tong's younger brother also arrived at Xiao Yanli's mansion.

Xiao Yanli took the person to the study and gave him detailed instructions.

After confirming that everything was safe, they let people go down to rest and prepare for the family recognition tomorrow.

He pinched his brows.

There is still no progress in the clues to the treasure of the previous dynasty on Song Shiwei, and Jiang Zhaorong has returned to the court, but there is no useful information.

Zuiyuelong has changed people, and there are a lot of big and small things to deal with. It is no longer as worry-free as when Banzhuang was there.

But fortunately, there is no need to worry about collusion with Jiang Zhiyu.

The emperor punished Jiang Kang'an, but only for a few days. After that, he was honored and favored even more, and was even allowed to handle memorials.

If this continues, his father might become so foolish that he would hand over the country to others!

He must get the information about Jiang Wenjing's time in Mobei from Ji Tong as soon as possible.

…

Just as Jiang Wenjing had thought, after the banquet, the people of Nan Gu did not return to their homes, but dispersed everywhere, mobilizing all their men, and personally going to check where there was still buried gunpowder.

When Jiang Wenjing and Jiang Zhiyu fell asleep, the people of Nan Gu were digging the soil with grunts.

One night passed, and when the people of Nan Gu, who had gained nothing, were full of doubts about what Jiang Zhiyu said, Gongta's nephew Amusa, who had just woken up, found gunpowder on the roadside in front of the door.

Everyone was shocked and no longer dared to have any doubts.

King Nan Gu's face turned grim as he ordered that they must dig three feet into the ground to find it!

They were busy looking for gunpowder and neglected other things.

It also made things convenient for Bai Yan.

No one followed him anymore, whether he went in or out of the dense forest or to the high priest's office.

With Bai Yan around, the news can get out. In addition, the rain has weakened and the miasma in the dense forest is gradually dissipating. Bai Yan has already tried to bring people in.

I was still thinking about how to avoid the surveillance of those spies, but because of this incident, I don’t have to worry anymore and I can bring more people with me.

On the first day, he brought dozens of people with him.
