Chapter 15 Are you hurt from the fall?
Ye Lanzhou and Zhang Qiyue looked up in the direction of the sound, and saw a masked man in black standing on the stone wall, holding a palm-sized gunpowder. Before they could react, the man immediately pulled the fuse of the gunpowder and threw it down.
The gunpowder from the pulled fuse was thrown along the wall in front of the two men. They almost subconsciously wanted to run and had no time to care about the mechanism. They might survive if they were shot, but they would not survive if they were exploded by the gunpowder.
Before Ye Lanzhou could move, she was pushed down by a huge force. The man hit her hard and almost knocked her to the ground, causing her whole body to hurt.
I heard a loud sound of gunpowder behind me, followed by a burst of hot air that made my ears ring.
The gunpowder exploded!
The broken stone chips fell on her, but she didn't feel anything. The roar of gunpowder was still ringing in her ears.
This roaring feeling suddenly brought her back to the night of the thirteenth year of Yinjing.
Ye Lanzhou and his mother Qin were left in Nanyang, and then they heard the news that Jinling had fallen and the southern barbarians were attacking Nanyang. The barbarians broke into Nanyang City, and overnight, the city was littered with corpses and in chaos.
The old house of the Ye family was also blown up by the barbarians using gunpowder. Fortunately, the mother discovered it in time, and the mother and daughter slipped out from the back door of the Ye family. There was a huge roar behind them, and the house of the Ye family was engulfed in flames and black smoke.
The Ye family was extremely wealthy, but after the bombing, it was reduced to ruins.
At that time, my mother also pushed me to the ground like this. It hurt, but she was not injured.
Memories of the past emerged, and Ye Lanzhou couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. She opened her eyes and rubbed her dusty face. The person in front of her was not her mother, but Xie Chengyan.
Seeing the red eyes of the person under him, he thought that he was hurt from the fall. Xie Chengyan was not a man who was gentle with women, especially in such a critical moment. He just thought that this person was being very pretentious.
Tears are useless, they only make you look weak. I don’t know why women always like to cry, it’s really annoying.
Xie Chengyan frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Are you hurt?"
Ye Lanzhou pouted. It hurt, but it wasn't enough to make her cry. She was too lazy to explain anything to Xie Chengyan and just nodded.
Xie Chengyan stood up and pulled Ye Lanzhou and Zhang Qiyue up beside him. He said, "You did a good job. I won't say anything to you, but you have to hold back your tears. I don't like working with people who cry all the time."
He patted the dust off his body. Although his black robe was dirty, there was no sign of it. However, Sun Shengan, who had just changed into white clothes next to him, suffered. Gunpowder fragments fell on his body, and it seemed that sparks had burned several holes in it.
Ye Lanzhou was puzzled. He didn't know what he had done to deserve such praise from Xie Chengyan, so he showed a puzzled expression to Xie Chengyan.
He raised his eyes and took a look at the mechanisms around him, meaning that if you remove all the mechanisms, it will be much easier for us to come in.
Ye Lanzhou looked around again and found that there was no trace of gunpowder in the royal tomb, only the debris on his body. Then she realized that Xie Chengyan had thrown the gunpowder out of the royal tomb. The gunpowder exploded outside, so naturally there would be no debris on his body.
Ye Lanzhou thought of the man with the white veiled hat at the beginning, and then remembered the man in black who had thrown the gunpowder just now. He asked, "Then... where are the people in the royal tomb?"
