The flat stone is a disguise, and inside it is the world's most advanced timing system, as well as several chemical substances including white phosphorus.
The timing system is driven by a spring and consists of multiple sets of gears. When a certain time is reached, the timing system will trigger the fusion of potassium chlorate and phosphorus, causing a small explosion.
The explosion of potassium chlorate and phosphorus was not very powerful, but it was enough to ignite a large amount of white phosphorus mixture that was a mixture of various chemicals.
The white phosphorus mixture in the flat stones was made according to the ratio of military white phosphorus bombs. If Li Shiming had not been worried about the excessive power, he would have directly used the manufactured white phosphorus bombs.
White phosphorus bombs are too powerful, so he used the large server IBM z15 to perform calculations and obtained the dosage of white phosphorus mixture required to destroy a carriage.
After seeing Prince Shun's carriage, he calculated the arrival time of Prince Shun's carriage. As long as Prince Shun's team did not change the speed, this time could be accurate to about one second.
In the carriage of Prince Shun's carriage, Prince Shun was chatting with several close officials when he suddenly heard a scream from outside.
Later, Prince Shun discovered that the entire carriage was wrapped in a strange white flame. In just a moment, the white flame penetrated the thick wood and cowhide body from the bottom of the carriage, the front, back, left and right sides of the carriage.
This carriage is specially made, made of thick, high-density wood and processed cowhide. It can even block armor-piercing arrows shot from a strong bow.
But in the face of the white phosphorus mixture, it didn't even last a breath before being burned through.
The white flames pounced on everyone in the carriage. No matter their identity, they would all die in front of the white flames.
Li Wenfeng thought of Li Shiming's eyes, as if those eyes let him know who burned them to death.
The four masters who were closest to the scene didn't even have time to display their powerful skills before their bodies were covered with white flames.
They instinctively wanted to put out the white flames on their bodies, but these white flames could not be extinguished by hand.
The white flame was like a cancer that penetrated the clothes, burned on the skin, and continued to burn inwards.
The four masters no longer cared about Prince Shun. They were knocked to the ground by their war horses that were also stained with white flames.
The four war horses instinctively tried to use the friction of the ground to extinguish the flames on their bodies. Seeing the performance of the war horses, the four masters also learned to roll on the ground.
But all this is in vain. If the flame of the military white phosphorus mixture is so easy to extinguish, it would not be the terrifying weapon that scared people in the past.
"Hurry up and save the prince!" the cavalrymen who were a little further away shouted loudly.
They ignored the four masters who were screaming on the ground. These cavalrymen were the guards protecting Prince Shun. If anything happened to Prince Shun, they would not survive either.
So they tried frantically to pull Prince Shun out of the carriage that had turned into a ball of white fire, but anyone who came into contact with the white fire would fall to the ground and struggle for their life with their entire body on fire.
After the loss of more than ten cavalrymen's lives, the white flames quickly weakened and soon disappeared.
After the carriage was burned by the white flames, only a pile of ashes remained. The carriage and the people inside were all turned into charcoal in the flames that should not belong to this world.
The cavalrymen only calmed down at this point. Looking at the carriage that could no longer be saved, they realized that Prince Shun could not survive.
"Young Master, there seems to be a fire behind!" a guard reported to Li Shiming.
"Don't pay any attention to it, let's go our way!" Li Shiming ordered in a deep voice.
The guards also knew that this was Zhongdu, and they would try not to get involved if possible, as the waters here were too deep.
Li Shiming looked through the rear window and saw a red firework explode in the air, forming a special pattern.
Then, just as his carriage was about to enter the city gate, deafening sound of horse hooves was heard in the city.
The gatekeeper quickly pulled Li Shiming's carriage to the side. Not long after the carriage pulled to the side, a team of cavalry passed through the gate.
"Master Gu, I have something to ask you!" In front of the gate of a courtyard in the imperial palace, Jin Geng, the Emperor of Great Xia, who was wearing a bright yellow imperial robe, bowed to the gate and said.
There was no one around Jin Geng except his personal eunuch, otherwise people would be shocked that an emperor would be so respectful and polite to someone.
"Your Majesty has arrived, please come in!" Gu Jia's voice came from the courtyard, and the gate opened automatically.
"Wait here!" Jin Geng instructed the eunuch beside him and walked into the courtyard alone.
Gu Jia was sitting on a stone bench in the yard, reading a book. When he saw Emperor Jin Geng come in, he just put the book down and didn't even bother to stand up.
"Master Gu, my third son died in an attack five miles outside the east city. The means of attack were extremely strange, and they looked like those of a master. Master Gu, please help me!" Jin Geng said, bowing as he did not have the airs of an emperor at all.
He was very clear about his position in his mind. In the secular world, he was the emperor, the Son of Heaven above all others.
But this does not include immortal masters, not to mention that the immortal master in front of him is the immortal master of Tianhai Sect. If there were no suppression of the immortal masters of Tianhai Sect in the imperial palace, how could the Great Xia have existed for thousands of years.
Every emperor who succeeds to the throne will know an important piece of information, which is that he must respect the immortal master stationed in the palace.
Gu Jia was not surprised to hear the news, as it was he who informed Li Shiming of the third prince's trip.
With Li Shiming's strength of the second level of Qi Refining, if he can't even deal with the Third Prince, he can't be called a cultivator.
"Your Majesty, please wait here for a moment. I will be back soon!" Although Gu Jia knew what had happened, he still had to show the proper attitude.
He clapped his hands on the storage bag, and a blue light appeared, carrying his body away in a rainbow.
The distance from the palace to the east gate of Zhongdu would take half an hour to walk normally or even ride a fast horse, but he was flying and reached the scene of the incident in just a moment.
At this time, the scene had been blocked by guards wearing Ming armor. Gu Jia stopped some distance away from the scene, took out a token and showed it before approaching the scene.
When he saw the burnt ashes, Gu Jiachu thought it was done by a monk.
Because it is difficult to burn a carriage and a person like this with ordinary fire, it requires extremely high temperatures to do so.
However, when he got closer to the ashes, he found that he was wrong. There was not a trace of spiritual energy here, and it was definitely not the work of a cultivator.
He began to admire Li Shiming a little. No matter what means Li Shiming used, it was worthy of praise to achieve such an effect.
It seemed that he could not receive this favor from Li Shiming. Gu Jia shook his head and turned to leave. This was not the work of the cultivators, so what did it have to do with him?
