"Brother, does the princess really want to kill us? We have twenty brothers here, how can we just kill them all?"

"Am I saying you are a fool? The military order is like a mountain. We are just ordinary craftsmen. Let alone twenty, even if she kills a hundred, she will not blink an eye!" the craftsman said angrily.

"Didn't you just say that General Xuanyuan has gone to Shen Guo's military camp to borrow gunpowder? Our gunpowder bomb is only ten kilograms short of gunpowder to complete. It should not be difficult, right?"

After hearing what the leader said, the two dozen craftsmen were still thinking about working. They all came together.

The leader of the craftsmen sneered, "The princess did things so well that she cut off her escape! The last time Emperor Shen was attacked by the Southern Jin Dynasty, he came to borrow food and grass from the princess. Not only did she not lend it to her, she also wanted to attack him secretly.

In the end, it didn't succeed. You said that you asked General Xuanyuan to borrow gunpowder now. This is simply humiliating yourself. How could someone lend it to him?"

"Then what should we do? Aren't we waiting to die?" someone started to shout.

"Shut up!" the leader of the craftsmen roared, and walked over and closed the door. "What are you shouting about? There are soldiers outside. If they hear it, you won't even survive the night! If you don't want to die, just give it to me."

The solution, don’t freeze there!”

"Brother, why don't we run away while no one is paying attention?" A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks came over and whispered in his ear.

"Mouse, are you kidding? There are so many of us, how can we escape?" the head craftsman shook his head and said.

The mouse chuckled twice and said, "Brother, have you forgotten my old profession? I was afraid that there would be someone who was good and bad in the military camp, so I had prepared a secret escape route, and it comes in handy now.

ah!"

When the head craftsman heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Where is it?"

"It's in this room. Since this princess is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust! Let's gather all the gunpowder and give her a good blow!" Mouse clapped his hands and shouted excitedly.

"That's right, that's right. She doesn't treat us as human beings. She gives us some money when she's happy. If she's not happy, she kills us right away. Why should we sacrifice our lives for her? It's simply not worth it!"

"Besides Xuanyuan Jing's military camp, where else can we go?" the craftsman leader hesitated.

"We can go to the Southern Jin Dynasty. I heard that their Prime Minister Yan Junqing is a very good person and never kills innocent people indiscriminately. If we can help him in the past, I think he will definitely accept us!" Mouse suggested.

"Yeah. That's right. Ling Zhexiao and Xuanyuan Jing are both from the same family. It's not a wise move to seek refuge with him. It's better to go to the Southern Jin Dynasty!"

"Brother, now that we have decided, let's leave quickly. The more we stay, the more danger we will face!" said the mouse.

The craftsman nodded and waved his hand, "Brothers, pile all the gunpowder into the corner, stretch the fuse, and everyone enter the secret passage!"

Mouse hurried over and lifted up a wooden board in the center of the room, revealing a secret passage. Everyone jumped in, except Mouse and the head craftsman.

When everyone had gone far, the mouse jumped down the secret passage with the fuse, pulled the old man, then lit the fire folder and lit the fuse!

"Climb quickly, brother!"
