Grain and clothing can be delivered before evening, but shoes are not in stock and will take three days to arrive.
Chu Xiao paid the deposit for them, and the factory manager politely saw him out.
By the time he drove away from the factory, it was already 3 p.m.
He had planned to drive to the Caribbean for lunch, but an explosion suddenly occurred at a nearby intersection.
People running out from a distance shouted, "It's terrible! The gas cylinder exploded, blowing up the whole restaurant. A lot of people died, and several ambulances have arrived."
"That's right, I saw that the row of food stalls were all destroyed by the bomb, and the fire trucks blocked the front of the area completely."
"What?! Is a gas cylinder explosion that powerful?"
"Don't you know? A gas cylinder is just as powerful as a bomb, and it can even trigger a chain reaction. The cities we live in are full of methane gas underground. If you throw a firecracker into the sewer, the whole sewer will explode!"
Firecrackers, sewers, gas cylinders?!
Listening to the group's conversation, Chu Xiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and immediately turned around and drove towards the gas cylinder shop in the suburbs.
For a gas to explode, the gas concentration needs to reach a certain level before it can explode when it comes into contact with an open flame.
But if he passed the gas cylinder to Qin Yuezhao and had her bury it underground and then light it, she could blow up the Northern Barbarian army.
He was excited when he came up with such a great idea.
"Boss, how many gas cylinders do you have in your shop?"
Rushing into the gas cylinder wholesale store, Chu Xiao shoved a card onto the table in front of the store manager.
The store manager had seen arrogant people before, but never anyone this arrogant.
"What is your surname, sir? We have over five hundred gas cylinders in our shop. Are you sure you want them?"
Large-scale wholesale of gas cylinders is not permitted without the approval of the relevant authorities.
Chu Xiao knew he would say that, so he secretly took out 10,000 yuan from his pocket, forced it into his hand, and took out the farm operation license.
"If the farm is going to expand and become a self-service agritourism destination, I guarantee I won't do anything illegal or disorderly! Anyway, you're going to sell these gas cylinders anyway, so what difference does it make who you sell them to?"
Seeing the heavy wad of cash in his hand, the store manager finally couldn't resist the temptation of the money.
Chu Xiao urged the shopkeeper to move the goods immediately and deliver them to the farm.
After the shopkeeper finished unloading the goods, Chu Xiao sent a message to Qin Yue Zhao:
"I heard you say before that the guards of the Prefect's mansion, in league with the Northern Barbarian army, dug a secret passage in the Western Mountains? Have you surveyed the terrain of Liangcheng?"
Just then, Chen Wan'er was reporting the survey findings to Qin Yuezhao.
She said she had surveyed the terrain and mountains around Liangcheng, and apart from the tunnel that had been dug in Xishan, she had not found any trace of the Northern Barbarian spies or Chen Kun's group.
Just then, a loud report from a member of the Huo family army came from the doorway:
"Report—"
"General, we've captured Chen Yan!"
Qin Yue Zhao's eyes lit up, and she immediately walked out of the general's mansion.
At the entrance, Huo's army gathered, dragging a man covered in blood as they cautiously approached.
The man was thin, his face was covered in blood, and his limbs hung limply on the ground as the soldiers dragged him along.
On the road not far from them, Han Tianba hurriedly caught up.
“Princess Yue Zhao, we didn’t capture Chen Kun, but we found Chen Yan at the foot of the mountain. Chen Yan is Chen Kun’s cousin, so he must know his whereabouts!”
Qin Yue Zhao hurriedly said to the guards of the mansion, "Don't stand there, call Doctor Zhang here and have him bring the best medicine. You must save Chen Yan's life!"
The young guard acknowledged the order and withdrew.
Qin Yue Zhao walked up to Chen Yan, lifted his eyelids, checked his pulse, and finally examined the wounds on his chest and body.
Han Tianba was somewhat puzzled.
"Chen Yan and Chen Kun should have escaped Liangcheng together, so how could they have been so badly injured?"
