Lu Yan thought so too. Who wants to die if they can stay alive? Especially now that his grandmother's condition is unknown and there is no money at home, he has to find a way to go back and support his grandmother. Oh, and he still has a son!
Aunt Qi also gave birth to a son for him, and Chu Yun is also pregnant. I wonder how Sixth Sister is doing. Sixth Sister has always been well-behaved. I guess she should be at home taking care of Grandmother?
She is good at embroidery and should be able to embroider something to supplement the family income.
Lu Yan thought about it while packing up his sword and rode away.
In the past, he had personal soldiers and attendants, but this time he followed Qin Wan out alone, and even had to do small things by himself. This time, when searching for Bai Wanyi, he was still alone.
Lu Yan was very familiar with Bai Wanyi's habits, especially he knew what kind of environment was needed to develop explosives. He recalled the nearby towns and other places, and after screening, he successfully found Bai Wanyi at the third location before it was completely dark.
Lu Yan looked at the various explosives piled in the room and drew his sword without hesitation at Bai Wanyi: "Come with me. For the sake of your raising Ping'er and your military exploits over the past eight years, I will plead with His Majesty to spare your life."
Bai Wanyi didn't believe him at all. She looked at her former lover, who was now facing her with a sword, and said, "You told me before that you would share life and death, wealth and glory with me. Now you want to kill me?"
Lu Yan looked at Bai Wanyi, who seemed so unfamiliar to him, and said, "I'm doing this for your own good. If you come back with me, you still have a chance to survive. If you insist on leaving, you'll only end up dead. Think about yourself and Ping'er. He's your son."
Bai Wanyi laughed: "I think about Ping'er? Who will think about me? You say it so easily. If I really go back to my past, even a hundred lives would not be enough to compensate for it."
Lu Yan didn't believe her either. She was a selfish person who only cared about herself. He wanted to persuade Bai Wanyi to go back and give himself a chance to survive.
He patiently said, "You and I have made unparalleled contributions to the Great Zhou. Why can't we exchange our lives for ours?"
Bai Wanyi looked at Lu Yan and sneered, "You've probably forgotten about that village, haven't you?"
That village?
Lu Yan couldn't remember which village it was, but the village she mentioned specifically...
Lu Yan suddenly remembered the unknown village that he had forgotten.
That night, he was resting in the camp when he suddenly felt an earthquake. When he ran out, he saw thick smoke and flames rising into the sky from the village in the distance.
He didn't realize what was going on at the time. It was only when he went there with Bai Wanyi the next day that he learned that the explosives they had made had exploded. Not only were thousands of kilograms of explosives lost, but the entire village was also razed to the ground.
The reason why we chose that place was because it was remote and close to the production area of explosives raw materials. Who would have thought that it would be blown up.
However, that wasn't razing to the ground; it was simply blasting a deep pit. Not a single corpse could be seen, not a single tile from the house. The sky was filled with mist, filled with floating dust, and perhaps even ashes...
When the dust settled, only a deep pit remained in the entire village.
After that incident, the explosives production site was moved deep into the mountains, confidentiality measures were tightened, and the safety control of explosives became even stricter, for fear of repeating the same mistake...
Lu Yan's face turned pale. Bai Wanyi looked at him and laughed: "You remembered? Huh? I tell you, you'd better let me go. Let me fly high in the sky and swim in the sea. If you kill me or insist on taking me back, then we will go to hell together. No, not just us, but also your grandmother and everyone in the Lu family will go to hell!"
A hint of struggle flashed in Lu Yan's eyes. He gripped the sword, loosened it, then tightened it again. Finally, he swung the sword at Bai Wanyi: "If God wants our Lu family to pay with our lives, then I accept it. But you can't leave. If it weren't for you, those villagers wouldn't have died. If you hadn't insisted on developing explosives, there wouldn't have been so many problems! And so many people wouldn't have died! It's all your fault, all your fault!"
"If it weren't for you, Wanwan wouldn't have divorced me. She and I would still be a happy couple, and we might even have children! How could it be like this now? She's the high and mighty Crown Princess, and she looks down on me! It's all your fault!"
"If it weren't for you, those people wouldn't have died. If it weren't for you, there wouldn't have been this war. It's all because of you! I'm going to kill you!"
Bai Wanyi stepped back in fear, angry and terrified. "You're blaming me for everything? Why?! I helped you achieve something, and now you're blaming me? What a joke! A loser like you wouldn't even be able to handle the wealth and glory!"
"After returning to Beijing, I worked diligently, opened a shop, and earned money to support my family. What about you? You worked in such a crappy job, not only did you not make any money, but you also bossed me around! You even nag about Qin Wan every day. You're always looking at what's in the pot while you're eating in your bowl, and you're always thinking about what's outside. You deserve to be in this situation!"
In the narrow space, Bai Wanyi dodged Lu Yan's random slashes left and right. Her words made Lu Yan more crazy and his attacks became more and more random.
Suddenly, the oil lamp fell over and sparks flew along the oil towards the explosives.
Bai Wanyi's eyes suddenly widened, and he turned around and ran out.
Seeing this situation, Lu Yan rushed to the door quickly, but the narrow door was not enough for two people to go out side by side.
Bai Wanyi had already smelled the smell of gunpowder. She grabbed the door frame with her hands and stepped out. In her life, even when she was running 800 meters in the high school entrance examination, she had never run so hard. If she had run 800 meters at this speed, why would she have failed?
Bai Wanyi saw the moon in the sky, so close to him, as if he were free, within reach...
Suddenly, a force pulled her back. Bai Wanyi's hand broke the door frame and landed on the lamp oil. A shadow flew past her...
Boom!
The earth shook.
Lu Yan was pushed against the wall by the force of the explosion, then slid down. He staggered to his feet, groped his way to the door, and ran out, shouting as he ran: "There's dynamite! Run! It's exploded!"
The villagers heard the explosion and then heard the shouting, and ran out of the village in panic.
I don’t know how much explosives Bai Wanyi placed here. The explosions only stopped for a moment before they rang out again one after another.
The villagers looked at their homes engulfed in flames, then looked at Lu Yan lying beside them. It was this stranger who had caused the explosion after entering the village. It was he who had destroyed their homes!
"He destroyed our family! Kill him!"
"Beat him to death!"
The villagers had no weapons, so they just beat and kicked each other. They destroyed their homes, and one by one they killed each other. In the end, no one knew who shouted:
"Who's going to pay for the money if he's beaten to death? He looks like a rich young master because of his clothes. Let him pay!"
After hearing this sound, the villagers came to their senses and stopped.
