"Won't!"
Huangfu Ning said, "That's good to know. The place we are going to blow up this time is the government office of Qinghe County. If we want to do something big, we can only succeed and not fail."
The next morning, Hua Wuxin had just replaced the fruits and flowers in front of Wang Ruo's memorial tablet with fresh ones when someone came to report, "Boss, the Huangfu family has successfully retrieved the explosives."
Hua Wuxin wiped the incense ash from the altar and asked, "Well, how much did they take?"
The man replied, "Everything the boss released was taken away by Huangfu Ning. None was left outside."
Hua Wuxin nodded slightly and said, "I also think that the amount is enough. Any more would be too much. Xiahou Qing should still be on his way. Even if he has the ability to fly, he can't grow wings."
The visitor continued to report: "Yes, it is still on the way. It will take at least ten days to arrive."
Hua Wuxin had previously told Huangfu Ning about Xiahou Qing's departure from the capital. During their second visit to Daoqinghe County City, if it weren't for the black market's covert protection, Tianshu Tower's lackeys would have sniffed them out long ago. "We have plenty of time, so there shouldn't be any problems this time. Any interesting news from Qingliang Valley lately?"
When Hua Wuxin took Wang Ruo away, he had specifically instructed that within Qingliang Valley, Tang Chen and Wang Yanzhou's matters be prioritized. If they needed help from the black market, they should do it immediately without rushing to report back. As for other matters, as long as they didn't mention it, they didn't need to do it. If others wanted to do something, they could just pay according to the old rules. "The Qingliang Palace hasn't sent anyone to contact us yet, but someone is secretly inquiring about the situation at Bugui Peak."
Hua Wuxin asked curiously, "Oh, do you know who is asking about this?"
The person replied, "It's Lian Xin, Princess Qinghe's personal maid."
"Interesting, check it out."
"yes."
Speaking of those explosives that looked strange to Huangfu Ning and the three Huangfu brothers, there's actually a story behind them. Previously, Hua Wuxin and Wang Ruo both believed Xihe was truly dead. So, before Wang Ruo passed away, she had specifically instructed Hua Wuxin to remember to give Xiahou Qing a helping hand, making him suffer a torment a hundred times more painful than Xihe's death before bringing him down to earth to apologize.
It was not until one day after Wang Ruo's death that a batch of strangely shaped gunpowder was suddenly delivered to him from the capital, and he realized that Xihe was likely still alive.
Hua Wuxin had only seen those explosives once, when he helped Tang Chen and his men investigate the South Vietnamese artillery. After that, he had seen them in a notebook left behind by Wang Ruo.
Later, Hua Wuxin had someone carefully investigate the source of the explosives, and indeed, he found clues related to Xihe. Following these clues, he realized that Xihe had indeed escaped death at the hands of Xiahou Qing. However, the nameless cave had been emptied by the Tianshu Tower bandits, so she probably had no choice but to use cheap raw materials to make the explosives.
Originally, I just wanted to collect these explosives and prevent them from flowing out, so as to prevent that old fox Xiahou Qing from finding something from them. I didn't expect that these explosives could be used for such an important purpose.
Hua Wuxin looked at Wang Ruo's spirit tablet and couldn't help but sigh, "After all this, your people are truly formidable. That little girl is quite intelligent, and bears some resemblance to you. Putting that aside, didn't you intend to move the Twelve Flower Gods home? I've had people search for the finest seeds and saplings from all over. By the time I return to Bugui Peak to accompany you, they should all be sprouting."
Thinking about his life, which was already coming to an end, Hua Wuxin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. He said, "Tang Chen, I have almost finished my business. Time is running out for you. I hope you still remember our fate of life and death. Even the current patriarch of the Huangfu family can't break the curse on us. I hope you are ready to go with me by then."
Although Huangfu Ning was unaware of the black market's hidden support, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the note that had suddenly appeared at the doorway to the secret room. Regardless of who it was, at least they weren't fighting alone. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let these three spearheads do something as dangerous as lighting explosives. These kids had only played with a few small firecrackers before, and had never even touched a larger fire.
After the three Huangfu brothers decided their respective guard and blasting locations by playing rock-paper-scissors according to the old rules, they went to the site early in the morning to scout the location. Although the process went smoothly, they were caught by the Tianshu Tower people who had been keeping an eye on them.
"Sir, those suspicious young men have appeared near the government office."
Xiahou Jun had been severely criticized by Xiahou Qing in a letter for Lin Feng's disappearance. Although it was just a brief remark and no further punishment followed, the rumors he'd been hearing had intensified over the past few days, becoming somewhat unbridled. If something went wrong again, Xiahou Qing wouldn't punish him, but he'd be drowned in their spit. "They must be connected to the person who kidnapped Lin Feng from Yanhui Pagoda. Don't let them get away. Keep a close eye on them and don't act rashly. I want to see what else they're up to."
"yes."
After everything was ready, Huangfu Ning touched his wallet, which was not very rich, and resolutely came to the largest restaurant in Qinghe County. After ordering a pot of the best Huadiao wine and a few side dishes, he sat quietly in the private room upstairs, watching the people coming and going on the street.
As noon approached, Huangfu Ning drank another glass of fine wine, stretched himself, and murmured, "It's almost time. I can't drink any more, otherwise the refreshing drink will turn into a hypnotic one."
"Brother Xiaoer, check out!"
"Come on, sir, your table is..."
The sun was blazing, and at the height of the day, at noon, a deafening roar suddenly resounded throughout Qinghe County. Qinghe County, already experiencing some panic due to travel restrictions, was suddenly in turmoil. Especially near the government office, on the densely populated streets, cries of pain and shrieks were heard everywhere: "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"
"Boom", after the first bomb exploded, the roars that rang out one after another instantly reminded the people in Qinghe County who had been living a peaceful life of the terrible legend of the South Vietnamese artillery.
