Chapter 139: Su Yuheng won’t live past 18?
"This gunpowder formula was originally given to me by Liu Jinshu. Didn't Your Highness have someone verify it later?"
"How could this formula be fake? Besides, there were no problems in the previous tests, so why is it happening now..."
Su Yanqiu's face turned pale, and he looked at the black lumps in the wooden box in disbelief.
In order to make this gunpowder, the King of Qi almost emptied his family fortune.
Some of the Su family's money was used to make gunpowder.
A lot of manpower, material resources and money were invested.
Now, the thing we made is not even as powerful as fireworks. How can we use it on the battlefield?
"You said Liu Jinshu gave it to you?" King Qi's face turned ashen, and he glared at Su Yanqiu fiercely, as if he wanted to crush him.
"You believe what this idiot gives you?"
"Now she's escaped, and she even knows my secret!"
"Now that the matter has come to this, how do you want to resolve it?"
Su Yanqiu was also a little confused at the moment. He spent so much money, but got such a result.
Su Yanqiu said: "I will come up with a solution in the next few days, and I will also have someone bring back that evil Liu Jinshu."
"I will definitely give His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi a satisfactory answer."
But even so, it still couldn't extinguish the King of Qi's anger.
The King of Qi glared at him fiercely.
"Su Yanqiu, I have already given you several chances. If you do something bad again, don't blame me for not considering our friendship."
"I was so happy for nothing, thinking you had really invented gunpowder. I was so happy too soon!"
After saying this, the King of Qi left the house angrily with everyone.
When Su Yanqiu saw the box of black lumps, he was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
The gunpowder formula was personally checked by the King of Qi, so it cannot be fake.
He also had people test the gunpowder he made, and it was found to be powerful.
Which link went wrong?
"Mo Yu."
Mo Yu walked up to Su Yanqiu and said, "Prince, please give me your instructions."
Su Yanqiu said: "Send someone to find Liu Jinshu for me. This idiot has ruined me!"
Mo Yu said, "Yes, Prince."
After Su Yanqiu finished speaking, he ordered the guards to move the basket of black lumps away, and then took Mo Yu to the direction of Prince Qi's mansion.
There is a secret passage in the dense forest outside the Prince Qi's Mansion, leading directly into the Prince Qi's Mansion.
In a hidden corner near the secret passage, there was an inconspicuous carriage parked.
The carriage curtain slowly opened, revealing a delicate and handsome face.
The man in the carriage frowned, his deep gaze cast at the entrance to the secret passage ahead.
"Are you sure this is the secret passage?"
Bai Ze nodded: "Your Highness, I asked the Tianji Pavilion to investigate, and it is definitely here."
"The Su family's heir should also pass by here tonight."
Huo Xingzhi's expression was indifferent. He lowered the carriage curtain and said, "That's good."
"We'll be heading to the border in a few days, so it's time to clean up some things."
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and leaned lazily against the carriage railing.
In the silent wilderness, the sound of the wind blew past my ears, and soon I heard footsteps not far away.
Huo Xingzhi's ears moved and he slowly opened his eyes, and Bai Ze's voice came from outside.
"My Lord, someone is coming."
As Bai Ze finished speaking, Huo Xingzhi tightened his grip on the longbow in his hand.
He waved his right hand and opened the carriage curtain.
The longbow was pulled hard, and the sharp target was aimed at the figure over there.
In front of the secret passage in the dense forest, Su Yanqiu and Mo Yu's carriage stopped.
Because of the gunpowder incident, Su Yanqiu didn't look very good.
When he got off the carriage and was about to enter the secret passage.
I had just taken two steps forward when I felt something not far away staring at me.
He turned his head to look to the south and saw a ghostly black shadow looking towards him.
"It's Huo Xingzhi."
Su Yanqiu widened his eyes in disbelief, and a long arrow shot towards him like lightning.
He dodged to the side and the long arrow hit his thigh, causing him to scream in pain.
"Prince." Mo Yu hurriedly supported him and was about to walk into the secret passage.
But before the master and servant could take a step, Huo Xingzhi pulled his longbow hard, and the sharp arrow hit Su Yanqiu's other leg.
Seeing this, Mo Yu hurriedly helped Su Yanqiu up. A sharp arrow pierced his chest and shot him to the ground.
"Huo Xingzhi!" Su Yanqiu cursed with gritted teeth.
Huo Xingzhi walked out of the night with an expressionless face. He stood in front of him, looking down at him with contempt.
"It's been a long time since I last saw the Su family's heir. You've made it very difficult for me to find you."
Su Yanqiu's legs were shot and his whole body was unable to move.
He looked at Huo Xingzhi who was getting closer and closer to him, with a strange smile on his face.
"Huo Xingzhi, what if you win? What if you snatch Heng'er away?"
"You tried so hard to fight me for her, but you never knew she had a secret."
Huo Xingzhi frowned and said nonchalantly: "Aren't you talking about Heng'er's identity? Miss Shen has woken up. She is General Shen's daughter."
"No." Su Yanqiu grinned and said, "It's not this."
"Huo Xingzhi, aren't you curious about why she didn't get pregnant when you had physical contact with her at the White Horse Temple a year ago?"
"Why, you've been married to her for so long, and she hasn't moved at all? Haven't you ever thought about why?"
Huo Xingzhi trembled slightly and looked at Su Yanqiu in disbelief.
"What do you mean?"
Su Yanqiu curled his lips into a smile and said, "I just found out about this in the past few days."
"Heng'er, she won't live past eighteen."
"You fight with me, and it's all in vain in the end."
Huo Xingzhi angrily said, "Don't try to deceive me!"
"Do you think this king will believe your nonsense?"
Su Yanqiu said coldly: "I know you don't believe it."
"But do you think that after she was transferred from the General's Mansion to our Su family, my mother would let her grow up peacefully?"
Huo Xingzhi clenched his fists tightly, feeling as if something was pulling at his chest.
Then Su Yanqiu spoke again.
"My mother gave her a secret medicine when she was two years old. This secret medicine would make a woman infertile and would slowly drain her vitality until she was eighteen."
"My mother told me this before she died."
"My mother originally thought that this secret medicine was ineffective, so she wanted to bring Liu Jinshu back home. But now it seems that Heng'er didn't get pregnant with your child, which proves that this medicine is very effective."
"She can't bear children for you, let alone grow old with you."
Huo Xingzhi froze in place, feeling as if his heart was being pricked by needles.
His eyes suddenly turned red.
"impossible!"
"It's very uncomfortable, right?" Su Yanqiu sneered.
"It's normal to feel bad. You fought with me for this woman for so long, but in the end, you died young!"
As soon as Su Yanqiu finished speaking, Huo Xingzhi drew the long sword from his waist and stabbed him in the chest.
Blood spurted out of Su Yanqiu's mouth and he fell down.
In an instant, the surroundings were lit up by flames, and the yamen runners from the Yanjing government office rushed out and surrounded them tightly.
Lord Zhang walked to Huo Xingzhi's side and bowed to him.
"The criminal has finally been apprehended. Thank you, Your Highness Prince Li."
Huo Xingzhi said expressionlessly, "I will hand this person over to your Yanjing government office. Everything will be handled according to the laws of Great Yan."
