The soldiers stopped in their tracks, somewhat confused.
The centurion's face was filled with impatience as he shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Untie them immediately and find out the princess's whereabouts."
The palace maids tied to the ground had tears in their eyes and kept shaking their heads.
The soldiers did not dare to delay any longer and followed the order and stepped forward.
As one of the soldiers took a step forward, thin lines, as thin as hair, only a few inches above the ground, densely intertwined under his feet, blending into the darkness in the hall, and almost no one noticed.
The soldier only felt as if he had hit something with his feet. He looked down but found nothing.
The taut wire broke, causing a series of chain reactions. Things on the shelves in the house fell down, and all the porcelain was knocked over to the ground. The broken bottles leaked an unknown liquid and emitted a bad smell.
The centurion's face changed drastically. Holding the torch, he shouted, "There's a trap! Hold your breath and evacuate the room!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers ignored the palace maids in the hall and pinched their noses as they left the main hall one after another. They retreated in an orderly manner and only stopped outside Pingyao Palace, breathing freely.
They stood guard at the gate, not daring to leave, staring at the main hall gate with a look of surprise.
The movement inside has not stopped yet.
After the thin line broke, the fallen vase broke another line. In an instant, the half-open window at the other end of the line fell down under the action of the force, and the window made a "bang" sound.
The fork fell outside the window, and the rope tied to the other end just happened to knock down the fire fold covered at the corner of the wall outside the window.
After the fire pleats are lit, they can be blown out into a dark flame and placed in a copper tube or bamboo tube, where they can remain burning for a long time.
in case.
Wei Xiyin asked Qin Shan to put five fire pleats in the cover, for fear that he would not be able to hit the target in one shot and fail.
It turns out that Qin Shan is very reliable.
Three of the five wires fell straight onto the long fuse that was covered by debris.
Hiss, hiss, hiss…
The fuse began to wriggle rapidly, quickly converging into a winding snake, as if it was spitting out its tongue and spreading its "extremely poisonous" claws, ready to give the enemy in the dark a fatal blow.
The soldiers were still in shock and unsure of what had happened in the palace, so they stood motionless by the palace wall.
Sparks flew across the ground and were rapidly moving towards them along the corner of the wall, making them particularly conspicuous in the dark night.
One soldier glanced down and saw a light flickering along the corner of the wall. He pointed at the light with a look of surprise and asked his companion, "What is that?"
As soon as the words fell.
The moment of explosion came, a series of dazzling flames flashed, and with a "boom", it exploded under their feet, and the violent shock wave spread violently in all directions, ruthlessly destroying everything.
The walls on both sides of the gate collapsed with a loud bang, and more than a hundred soldiers at the center of the explosion were either killed or injured in the blink of an eye.
The huge noise of the explosion was heard clearly by everyone hiding.
Wei Xiyin said with a click of the tongue, "I'm afraid the princess's palace will be destroyed. I can't even use the advanced black ball Mr. Biscuit gave me."
Xiang Qi bent down and ran outside to check the situation. He stood at the corner of the wall and looked out. The visibility was poor in the dark night and he could only see the direction of Pingyao Palace. The flash of light was once again drowned out by the darkness after the explosion.
When you come back.
Xiang Qi couldn't help but sigh. It turned out that after wasting so much time, the trap that the girl asked them to set up was actually used in this way.
Xiang Qi came over and asked curiously, "How did the girl know that they would retreat to the gate?"
Wei Xiyin turned her head and looked at him as if he were a fool, but unfortunately they didn't have a fire here, so Xiang Qi couldn't see.
"Where else can we retreat to if we find out there's a trap inside the house? There's no other option but the door."
"They're here to investigate. How can we report to Motosaburo if we don't find out the truth?"
She continued, "We can't place explosives inside the palace. While it would be simpler and easier, it would be very troublesome to repair such a large palace later. I'm doing this for the princess's sake."
Only a section of the wall was damaged, which made it easy to repair. If she hadn't thought about the future reconstruction of Zhongshan Kingdom, she would have really wanted to just use explosives to blast it all the way through.
The princess was very tactful and said, "Thank you for your understanding, young lady."
Only Qin Shan had a strange look on his face. He was wondering in his heart what the girl meant by "Mr. Biscuit".
Are you referring to Mr. Qu...
Why are they called cookies?
Just like in the south of the city, unusual noises suddenly appeared in the palace.
Yuan Saburo had already realized that something was wrong. It was obvious that these noises were man-made.
He paced back and forth in the hall, feeling flustered and confused. He had no idea what was going on. He felt as if something was out of control. He shouted urgently to the commander of the guard battalion beside him, "Go and check! Find out what happened!"
"yes!"
Yuan Sanlang was panicking at this moment. "Wait, close all the palace gates and impose martial law immediately."
"Also, go and invite Mr. Hu over!" he blurted out subconsciously.
The palace maids trembled with fear upon hearing this and all knelt on the ground.
When he saw the reactions of these servants, he belatedly realized that Hu Chengen was dead.
A counselor who had followed him for five years died in the county prison.
Yuan Saburo's face suddenly became very ugly.
The explosion was so loud that it could be heard from a great distance.
The two armies that had arrived at the palace gate collided with Chu Yu and others.
Chu Yu stood at the entrance of the post station with a calm expression. This place was very close to the palace, and he could see the palace gate just by looking up.
