Chapter 168 Behind the Scenes
The guilty look that flashed across Wu Shao's face confirmed the answer Ling Chan wanted to know.
"Do you know what happens when our thunder and fire bombs are used here?" Ling Chan asked.
Wu Shao snorted, "Ling Chan, stop pretending to be sympathetic to the world. Aren't you going to use the thunder and fire bombs to attack Da He?"
"We're all the same."
Ling Chan narrowed her eyes. Since he did this, there was no need for her to keep him.
But... not this time.
Ling Chan took out a rifle with her mind, held it in her hand and aimed at Wu Shao.
Wu Shao would not stand there and let her sweep him, so he put on his flying backpack and started dodging.
But Ling Chan didn't actually shoot at him, but shot downwards.
There is a difference in the dress of the bandits in the mountains and the imperial guards. The bandits dress casually and in a ruffian manner, but the imperial guards have special habits even when they change into ordinary clothes.
What's more, they are strictly disciplined and stand there straight.
You can tell at a glance...
Ling Chan and Hong Dou specifically targeted those who looked like imperial guards and fired at them. They also did not let go of the Cuiyun Mountain bandits who were carrying special agent equipment.
Wu Shao discovered Ling Chan's intention and immediately asked the brothers from Cuiyun Mountain to stop.
Ling Chan descended and advanced step by step. The imperial guards had already reached the bottom before they could even reach her.
Wu Shao watched from the side and seemed to see Ling Chan from his previous life again.
She is a lone brave agent...
Don't be fooled by the fact that she uses the most advanced equipment, as if she relies entirely on technology.
In fact, her skills are also very impressive.
Just like now, she was walking with her belly bulging, but she could shoot people in the head one by one without blinking an eye.
She can also take care of other plots and protect her companions.
While Wu Shao was recalling his past life, Ling Chan had already knocked down most of the imperial guards.
Seeing this, Wu Shao quickly raised his pistol and prepared to fight back. He couldn't let that man's people die in Cuiyun Mountain.
But before he could pull the trigger, Ling Chan's bullet had already been fired.
She doesn't kill him or shoot him anywhere, she just knocks his gun away.
He didn't even have a chance to dodge.
What surprised him even more was that just as he took his eyes off the fallen gun, Ling Chan was already in front of him.
She's pregnant, yet she's moving so fast?
Ling Chan had already changed a pistol and was now pointing it at Wu Shao's temple.
"Wu Shao." Ling Chan curled her lips, "I won't kill you today."
"I want to see." He smiled meaningfully, "How many people can help you with the person you're working with?"
After that, she put away her gun...
Wu Shao glanced at her belly and a thought flashed through his mind: she used to be very skilled, but now she is pregnant...
He punched Ling Chan, and in a flash, Ling Chan's toes touched his cheek again.
"you..."
Ling Chan snorted coldly, "Wu Shao, don't underestimate me."
It's just pregnancy, not death.
She kicked hard, kicking Wu Shao five meters away.
"Wu Shao, I will let you go today, but you killed my husband, I will never forgive you." She raised her voice and deliberately spoke to the nearby imperial guards who were still alive.
Wu Shao got up from the ground in pain and just heard her words.
This woman...
Ling Chan pretended to be unwell and called Hongdou to support her.
"Let's go."
Hongdou didn't understand what was going on and really thought she was unwell, "Miss, are you okay?"
Ling Chan shook her head, "Go back first."
Her goal today was to kill a group of imperial guards and lure out the mastermind behind the scenes.
After returning to Chiyun Castle, Ling Chan asked Qian Laoduo to send more disciples to find a doctor for her, saying that she had a miscarriage due to grief.
Old Qian wanted to say that there was a doctor in Chiyun Castle, but Ling Chan insisted that he go to the provincial capital to find the best doctor.
He also specifically instructed him to have his disciples search for it in a high-profile manner.
On Cuiyun Mountain, Wu Shao had his men clean up the mountain and discovered that Ling Chan and the others focused on killing the imperial guards. As for the bandits on Cuiyun Mountain, most of them were affected.
The commander of the imperial guards had a gloomy face the whole time he was listening to his subordinates' reports.
He would glance at Wu Shao from time to time.
Wu Shaoze didn't even look at him the whole time.
"Wu Shao, won't you explain? Why did she only kill our people but not yours?" The commander of the imperial guards stared at Wu Shao's profile angrily.
Wu Shao turned around and snorted, "How should I know this?"
"It's just your fault that you haven't made the thunder and fire bomb for so long. Otherwise, she wouldn't have killed so many people."
Wu Shao gave the recipe for making the bomb to that person, and that person asked someone to make it, but after several days, there was no progress.
"Where are those things you mentioned so easy to find?"
The bombs in Wu Shao's space have been used up, and now we just have to wait for that person to make more bombs.
It now seems that without a bomb, there is no way to defeat Ling Chan.
The commander of the imperial guards was very annoyed. "I will tell my lord about the situation here."
He rolled his eyes at Wu Shao and said, "Think about it yourself and how to explain it to the adults."
Wu Shao sneered, not caring at all, "You should think carefully about how to explain it to him."
"What does the death of your people have to do with me?"
The commander of the imperial guards was stunned. Yes, he had to explain to the adults. So many people died...he had no way to explain it.
"Hmph." He flicked his sleeves and left.
Although many people died, he still had to follow the adults' instructions and keep a close eye on the situation of those people.
Speaking of which, how come Marquis Zhenbei appeared in Youzhou so quickly?
His people soon found out that Ling Chan had a miscarriage and needed to see a doctor.
More than ten days later, the adult mentioned by the commander of the imperial guards appeared. He was wearing a mask that covered his entire face, leaving only his two eyes exposed.
"How is that possible?" The adult stood up. "How could Ling Chan get to Youzhou so quickly?"
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
The commander of the Imperial Guards shook his head, "I was right. She even killed most of our brothers."
The master frowned, "When I left the capital, she was still in the palace nursing her pregnancy. How could she have appeared in Youzhou more than ten days earlier than me?"
"But there's no way I could be wrong. Wu Shao can testify to that."
The master sat down and said, "Call Wu Shao."
Wu Shao came and sat opposite the adults in a carefree manner.
The commander of the imperial guards stepped forward and held Wu Shao at knifepoint, "You've seen the Lord, why don't you kneel?"
Wu Shao took out his pistol and pointed it at the commander of the imperial guards. "You've been in Cuiyun Mountain for so long, you should know which is faster, your sword or my gun."
The commander of the imperial guards was stunned. He had been here for more than a month and had seen the power of thunder and fire bombs, as well as this thing called a gun.
This hidden weapon is fast and has great destructive power, which is simply incomparable to his sword.
"Weixiang, let go." The adult spoke.
The commander of the imperial guards, Wei Xiang, retracted his sword and returned to his master angrily.
The adult tapped his hand on the table. "Wu Shao, where can I find the ingredients in the formula you gave me?"
Things like sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal, some are easy to find, some are hard to find.
In addition, there are some things in the recipe that I can't even understand the words...I don't know where to find them.
Wu Shao glanced at the adult and said, "I gave you the recipe, but as for how to find the ingredients, you have to figure it out yourself."
He told the adults that they didn't need to look at complicated things, they just needed to find the basics.
Unfortunately, he couldn't even find the most basic things.
"Since we are cooperating, you should show some sincerity."
The master stood up and walked around Wu Shao, "You and I will join forces to kill Xiao Jin and Ling Chan..."
"I only promised you to kill Xiao Jin." Wu Shao corrected him, "I can't kill Ling Chan."
"You said that as long as I can make enough thunder and fire bombs, there will be a chance." The adult raised an eyebrow.
"Now Ling Chan has come to your door, and you haven't made the thunder and fire bombs yet." Wu Shao reminded him.
Wu Shao felt a little regretful. He should have moved away from Cuiyun Mountain with his brothers earlier.
We had clearly made the decision that day, but who knew that in the middle of the night, the adults' people came to our door and proposed to continue the cooperation.
Yes, Wu Shao had been in contact with the Lord a long time ago, and he frequently robbed caravans just to help him lure Xiao Jin here.
The master's goal was to kill Xiao Jin, and now the goal has been achieved.
"I will not continue to cooperate with you. If you want to kill Ling Chan, then find a way to create thunder and fire bombs." Wu Shao said.
He really couldn't kill Ling Chan...
"You won't be able to refuse." The master said confidently, "I have already captured those brothers of yours."
"What?!" Wu Shao stood up in shock.
It turned out that when the master called him over, he also ordered people to arrest all the bandits in Cuiyun Mountain.
The master looked at Wu Shao with pride and said, "All is fair in war."
Wu Shao stared at him, he didn't expect the people in this world to be so cunning...
"Don't worry." The master even tried to comfort Wu Shao, "As long as you cooperate with me, I won't make things difficult for your brothers."
"Of course, you can also leave. Once you leave, I will kill them."
"After all, if you don't care about them, then I don't need to care either."
Wu Shao: "..."
Ling Chan was in the room, drinking tea and eating snacks with Xiao Jin.
"Miss." Hongdou knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Hongdou only opened the door a tiny crack and squeezed in through the gap.
"My lady, Your Majesty, a group of people went to Cuiyun Mountain, and the leader was a man wearing a mask."
"The commander of the imperial guards calls him Sir."
My Lord... Ling Chan looked at Xiao Jin, "Do you want to go check it out?"
Xiao Jin was naturally curious about the man's identity. "He just arrived at Cuiyun Mountain, and the security is tight. I'm afraid it's difficult to find out, right?"
Ling Chan winked, "Don't worry, I have something good that can come and go freely."
At night, Ling Chan took out her goodie, the invisibility cloak she had used before.
But in Xiao Jin's eyes, this is just an ordinary piece of clothing.
"this..."
Ling Chan put on the invisibility cloak in front of him...
Xiao Jin's pupils widened instantly, and he looked at Ling Chan in astonishment as she slowly disappeared from the spot. "Chan'er?"
He panicked and reached out to grab her.
However, he found that although Ling Chan disappeared from his sight, he could still touch her if he stretched out his hand.
"Chan'er?"
"this..."
Ling Chan took off the invisibility cloak and held it in her hand, "This is the good stuff I was talking about."
She threw another piece of clothing to Xiao Jin.
This invisibility cloak comes with a hood that can cover the entire person.
Xiao Jin put on the invisibility cloak and Ling Chan gave him a bronze mirror.
When I took it and looked at it, I could see nothing in the mirror except his head.
"It's a bit weird." Xiao Jin put down the bronze mirror.
Ling Chan helped him put on his hat. "When we get there, pull the front of the hat up. Don't worry, we can still see outside from inside."
"Remember not to be touched by anyone." Otherwise, you will be exposed.
Xiao Jin nodded, "Okay."
The two of them simply put on invisibility cloaks and left Chiyun Castle, flying towards Cuiyun Mountain.
When they arrived at Cuiyun Mountain, they took off their flight backpacks and walked in.
Because it was night, they walked carefully on the road so that the footprints they left would not attract attention, but they had to be careful about the noise.
For fear of attracting Wu Shao's attention, Ling Chan did not release the drone.
I just followed the memory of my last visit and walked past the simple houses one by one.
"I wonder which room that adult lives in?" Ling Chan muttered softly.
The patrolling imperial guards twitched their ears and looked in their direction.
Ling Chan and Xiao Jin quickly stopped and waited for the other party to leave in confusion before continuing their search.
"That person must be staying in the best house when he comes here." Xiao Jin looked in one direction.
One of the rooms there... is where the man named Wu Shao lives. It is considered the best room on Cuiyun Mountain.
Now, it may not be him who lives there.
"Let's go over there and take a look." The two of them walked around the patrolling imperial guards and came to the room.
The doors and windows of the room were closed and there was no sound from inside.
The two men wore invisibility cloaks and came directly to the door of the room without fear of being discovered.
There were two guards guarding the door, and they were chatting.
"Do you think the adults can make that thing?" someone asked.
The other shook his head, "I don't know."
"That requires a lot of sulfur and saltpeter. Where can I find them? The adults have bought up all the supplies from the pharmacies along the way, but they've failed so many times that they're almost all gone."
"That bandit has already given the recipe to you, my Lord. How could he fail so many times?"
"Is that bandit hiding something?"
"He doesn't dare. All his brothers have been imprisoned by the adults. Unless he doesn't want to kill them anymore."
"I heard from those bandits that this boss is a temporary arrival and has only been in Cuiyun Mountain for less than a year. Does he really care about the lives of his brothers?"
Just then, footsteps were heard from behind, and the two people at the door stopped chatting.
Ling Chan and Xiao Jin stepped aside, and soon a masked man walked past them.
When the adult walked past Ling Chan, he suddenly stopped.
He looked at Ling Chan, and at that moment, Ling Chan almost thought that the invisibility cloak had failed.
Fortunately, his eyes were not focused on Ling Chan, but looked behind her...
Looking away, the adult entered the room.
There was a smell left in the air. Ling Chan sniffed it and felt it was very familiar...but she couldn't remember it for a moment.
Xiao Jin also felt that the figure of the person walking past looked familiar...
The two looked at each other, and suddenly an idea flashed in their mind: it was him!
