Chapter 237 Baoshan
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when Yiyi turned the corner, but the child hadn't woken up yet, so no one dared to leave.
And because they were worried about the children, everyone stayed up all night. Taking advantage of this gap, Jiang Yuqing simply drove everyone to rest, and he was not in a hurry anymore.
Yiyi slept until noon, got up and ate a big bowl of meat porridge, and started to play energetically.He had no idea what kind of danger he had just experienced.
After playing for a while, the little guy wanted to pee, so Jiang Yuqing led him to find the toilet.
After shushing and coming out, Yiyi was attracted by a cluster of daylilies blooming just right in the yard, and walked towards the flowers with a "da da da", wanting to see the flowers.
It just rained yesterday, and the yard was very slippery. Jiang Yuqing was afraid that he would fall, so he followed him.
The flowers are indeed beautiful, and the little guy likes them very much, but he is reluctant to pick one off.He just pulled her and kept saying, "Mother, you're beautiful."
Jiang Yuqing was attracted by the stones in the garden.
Their shape is irregular, and the whole body is off-white, which is very different from other stones.
She took a dagger and scraped off a little bit of powder, put it in the palm of her hand to carefully identify it, and found that it was natural saltpeter.
So he quickly called Jing Yan over to take a look, and after looking at it, he was sure that it was saltpeter.
So Jiang Yuqing took the child and ran to the front yard to chat with Aunt Chen, pretending to ask casually: "Mother, the stones in your flower garden are really beautiful, are they rare?"
Aunt Chen said cheerfully, "What's so rare? There are broken stones everywhere on the rocky mountain. People here don't want them. They think they are too far away, so it's hard to move them."
Jiang Yuqing fooled around with a haha.He exchanged a look with Jing Yan.
Jing Yan immediately took Cang Hai and Wu Ya out, and came back when it was getting dark.There was a hint of imperceptible excitement in his eyes.
He said that the rocky mountains were full of saltpeter mines.Yesterday, I just rushed to avoid the rain and didn't pay attention, but today it seems that this is a treasure mountain.
Such places should naturally be nationalized and protected.
The next day, everyone retreated from the house, thanked Aunt Chen and set off on the road again.
When they reached a deserted mountain road, Jiang Yuqing sent both Yiyi and Doctor Qiu into the spirit realm, and called Bai Xiaoshi to come out instead.
A group of people hurried on their horses and rushed towards the direction of Fucheng like flying.
Yiyi had just introduced Qi into his body, and the abundant spiritual energy in the spiritual realm was very beneficial to his body.
Accompanied by a lot of toys, and with the conscientious Bai Xiaojiu watching over him, nothing serious will happen.
And every once in a while, she would talk to the child, or take him out for a jog, so that the child would not feel lonely.
Miracle doctor Qiu is getting old now, and traveling around in cars and horses for many months is really too much for him, so it is just right to put him in the spiritual realm.
The elixir and spirit grass in it are enough for him to study. In her grandma's words, it was a mouse that fell into the rice jar.
So he can't come out easily except to eat.
Three days later, everyone rushed to Fucheng, because the lotus birthmark on Jiang Yuqing's forehead was too conspicuous, so she had to use illusion to cover herself in order not to startle the snake.
Bai Xiaoshi also transformed into an ordinary horse.Not only that, but the others have also more or less disguised themselves.
After entering the city, everyone was very careful and did not dare to stay in the inn, but only rented an ordinary private house in the city to live temporarily.
Jing Yan asked Cang Hai to divide into several teams, and went to Di's house to inquire about the news in turn. Jiang Yuqing also recruited a group of birds to help keep an eye on them.
Not only that, but she also turned into a middle-aged Taoist priest, and bought a beggar in a ruined temple in the west of the city with money.
Agreed on a secret signal for the meeting, let them keep an eye on Di's house twelve hours a day, and report immediately if there is any trouble.
Master Di is a thousand-year-old fox, and he has been extra careful since the first batch of goods had an accident on the Meihe River.
Although the people below reported that the boat sank accidentally touched a reef in the middle of the river.But he always felt that it was not that simple.
A group of more than twenty boats, why only the one with the Thunderbolt sank, is it too much of a coincidence?
The only thing that is certain is that the imperial court did not know about this matter, otherwise the person in the capital would have sent him a message.
Now I heard that His Majesty the Queen and the Crown Prince have gone to Jiangnan, and many things have been settled along the way.
Jiangnan is so big, although it may not be such a coincidence that he will be found, but it will never hurt to be careful when sailing for thousands of years.
So as early as a few days ago, he sent someone to watch at the gate of the city, and he must pay attention to the young and beautiful woman with the lotus birthmark on her forehead.
Because they were afraid that they would change their costumes, they also specifically instructed that special attention must be paid to carriages with elderly and children accompanied by escorts.
He himself is also extra cautious, except for his daily friends, he doesn't go out easily.
Therefore, whether it was Canghai, the birds or the beggars, they squatted in Di's house for six or seven days without any movement.It makes people think that this is a businessman who is doing his best.
If it weren't for the reputation of Baicaomen, Jiang Yuqing would really think that Bai Xiaosheng was lying.
A good hunter often needs a lot of patience.On the eighth day, there was finally movement in the Di family.
At dawn that day, a small group of people quietly left the gate of Di Mansion and headed west of the city.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, Patriarch Di Xuan stopped at the door of a breakfast shop on the street.
The owner of the shop probably recognized him, and when he saw them coming, he came up to greet them enthusiastically: "Oh, good morning, Mr. Di! Are you going to patrol the shop again?"
Di Xuan pulled out a smile: "No, there are many places to go today, so don't go early."
The owner of the breakfast shop said enviously: "It's great that you have a big business. I won't be able to catch up with your fingernails in my life. Master Di, what do you want to eat today?"
"Old five."
"Okay, come right now!"
After Di Xuan finished his breakfast, he began to patrol the shop in a leisurely manner.
First the silk shop, then the rice shop, and when he reached the third timber shop, he first looked in the front hall, then turned around and went to the backyard on the pretext of going to the latrine.
Looking around in the yard, seeing no one there, he opened the door and entered an inconspicuous small room that looked like a night watchman, and closed the door.
Cang Hai hurriedly followed, stained his fingers with saliva and fainted the window paper.
I went up to take a look, and saw that this guy turned a washbasin stand in the middle of the room.There is even an agency here.
With a scalp-numbing "click" sound, the ground in the center of the room cracked, revealing a large black hole.
Di Xuan lit a lantern, bent down and walked down, and the ground immediately closed.
At this moment, there was movement behind Cang Hai, it was someone coming to the backyard.
He quickly stepped aside, waited for the people to leave, and then came out and entered the room.Following Di Xuan's example, he opened the tunnel entrance.
He lit a finger-thin, special-made pine nut with a torch, and followed into the tunnel.As soon as I entered, the floor above my head closed automatically.
The tunnel dug is very narrow, and it will be enough for one person to walk. If two people walk in front of each other, they have to turn sideways to pass.
There was no other reference in the tunnel, and he could only roughly judge the direction leading to the outside of the city based on his feeling.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, the tunnel suddenly went up, and there were steps, which was the end.
After carefully listening to the movement outside, Cang Hai carefully pushed open the cover above his head, and the light in front of him suddenly shot in, causing him to squint his eyes.
This is a small forest outside the city, and there is a trail up the mountain not far away.
The authentic exit was actually made in the shape of a grave bag, which is indeed quite cunning.
Cang Hai fell on the ground, carefully identified the traces, and then quickly chased them in the direction where the traces left with a light effort of luck, and caught up with them in less than half a quarter of an hour.
This guy even prepared two followers outside the city.
They went all the way to the mountains, making seven turns and eight turns, and finally stopped in a deep mountain depression. It seemed that they had arrived at the place.
Di Xuan looked around for a while, walked to the only large grave here, stretched out his hand and pressed a certain word on the tombstone.
The tombstone slid open to the left, and there was another secret door.
After waiting for them to go down, Cang Hai took out the invisibility amulet given by Jiang Yuqing from his sleeve and patted it on his body, pressed the switch and walked down swaggeringly.
After passing through a long and narrow corridor, there is a huge naturally formed cave underneath, which was used by them as an underground gunpowder workshop.
All kinds of raw materials are packed in boxes and stacked in different areas by category. It is very rigorous and orderly. It must have been instructed by an expert.
Otherwise, once these things explode, everyone will have to be buried here.
There were not many workers working in the cave, only two to thirty people. Their faces were numb. When they saw Di Xuan coming, they all bowed slightly and saluted.
Only one of them has one arm. Although his hair is disheveled and his clothes are ragged, his expression is extraordinarily resolute and arrogant.
Seeing Di Xuan approaching, he didn't raise his head, just doing the things at hand in a self-contained and unhurried manner.
Di Xuan's entourage couldn't understand his appearance, so he scolded him: "Jiang Zhiyuan, what's your attitude? You don't salute when you see our master coming?"
The one-armed man called Jiang Zhiyuan just looked up at him with cold eyes, then lowered his head and ignored him.
The entourage was furious, and said angrily: "Jiang Zhiyuan, what is your mother's madness? Do you think this is still your Northwest Army? Don't forget that your mother is still in our hands."
Hearing the word "Old Lady", Jiang Zhiyuan's eyes instantly turned blood red, his right hand clenched and his veins popped, but he finally endured it.
When Cang Hai heard the word "Northwest Army", his eyes trembled. It turned out that this person came from the Northwest Army.
Now being threatened by someone, locked up in this dark place, and forced to make thunderbolts for others, the empress knows how distressed and angry she must be.
Moreover, this person is probably the core person they are looking for.
Fortunately, Di Xuan probably knew his temper, so he didn't make things difficult for him anymore.I just walked around the cave with my hands behind my back, checked it, and left after seeing that there was no major problem.
After he left, Cang Hai took advantage of no one's attention and threw a fingernail-sized paper ball in front of Jiang Zhiyuan.
Jiang Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and after looking around for a week, he picked up the ball of paper with one arm and opened it. There were three words "Little God of War" written on it in small script.
Sure enough, Jiang Zhiyuan was immediately excited when he saw it, and his big hands holding the note were clenched into fists, tightening and loosening, loosening and tightening again.
After looking around, he lowered his head again.
Then another small stone hit him in front of him.
