a long time.

The chaos subsided and the dust fell to the ground.

Xuanwu Cave was already scorched black.

When Xiao Lin arrived, he saw such a desolate scene. He could no longer care about his shock and anger. He pointed at Hao Chuang, the person in charge of Xuanwu Cave today, frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Hao Chuang's body was scorched, his face was ugly, and his voice was hoarse as he replied: "Brother, it's fire oil, gunpowder arrows and gunpowder."

He asked someone to fetch a intact arrow. This arrow was different from ordinary ones. There was a powder barrel and a fuse at the beginning and end. Cao Xin was in the lime powder at that time, shooting arrows in a fan shape in front of him. Who knows this one?

It shot somewhere, but it turned off and didn't burn completely.

Xiao Lin looked at the arrow, then took the charred wood handed over by Hao Chuang, looked at it, touched it, and smelled it, and his face suddenly became ugly: "Fire oil!"

He saw that these were traces of burning fire oil.

Fire oil!

This is a kind of incendiary weapon using fire as a weapon used by the Liang Dynasty in war.

It is generally used for defense, especially in the battle to defend the city. "Hour Rong Shu" records: "Building oars, hanging felt curtains, installing gun mounts, setting up crossbow beds, transporting bricks and stones, setting torches, hanging wood, preparing kerosene, etc."

Defensively equipped.”

"Yesterday's Dream Record" written by Kang Yuzhi, one of the four sages in the early days of the Republic of China, records that at the beginning of the founding of the Liang Dynasty, in the northwest border areas, "all dug the ground to make large pools, more than ten feet wide, to store fire oil" to defend themselves against foreign invaders.

intrusion.

This thing burns extremely brightly and cannot be extinguished by water. It is violent in nature and fires rapidly.

The fire is very difficult to extinguish.

Just like the Xuanwu Cave at this time, it was burned to pieces and could no longer be used.

But that was secondary. What really gave Xiao Lin a headache and fear was: "The God of Iron Gut?!"

"It must be this guy!"

Hao Chuang nodded, he had guessed the identity of the arsonist earlier.

no way.

The name ‘Tiedan Shenhou’ is too loud.

Even though he is the vicious man in the "Wuyou Cave", he feels ashamed when talking about the "Iron God Marquis" who is famous in Xijing Prefecture recently.

In terms of ability to get things done, Tie Dan Shenhou was far ahead of them.

In March and April, the 'Wuyou Cave' suffered a lot of attacks from the Xijing City government. This was a scapegoat for the 'Tiedan Shenhou'. Even many elders were accused of secretly supporting the 'Tiedan Shenhou'.

,shelter.

A pool of muddy water, very messy.

result.

Now.

That 'Tiedan Shenhou' came to Wuyou Cave and caused trouble to Xuanwu Cave with the powerful fire oil and other ferocious weapons stolen from the 'Xijing Arms Institute'?!

Why?

Who did they provoke?

Xiao Lin felt a little aggrieved. He couldn't figure it out, so he asked Hao Chuang: "Has Xuanwu Cave offended anyone recently? Has he done anything outrageous?"

"Brother, you know, we have always been friendly and prosperous. In the past month or two, we haven't even had a decent conflict. How can we offend anyone, let alone the Iron Dan God Marquis?"

Hao Chuang shook his head, then smiled bitterly and said: "Who doesn't know the temperament of the 'Tiedan Shenhou'? He likes to meddle in other people's business. Many people die in our Xuanwu Cave in the ring every month. Maybe there is someone here.

Whoever gets involved with him is out for revenge."

The brave god!

This man is a dog!

Look at the things he does outside -

Burn the gambling house!

Burn the city gate!

Burn the granary!

Burn the Yamen!

Burn the mansion!

Burn whatever you see.

Let's just talk about gambling houses. When people lend money, one is willing to make money and the other is willing to suffer. What does it have to do with you?

But the brave Lord wanted to meddle in other people's business and refused to allow loans. Moreover, he couldn't find trouble with the loan one by one, so he went to bring trouble to the gambling houses in the city.

At this moment.

Hao Chuang felt the frustration of those gambling houses firsthand.

For a person like Tietan Shenhou, you can never guess what he will do next moment.

If you are targeted by him and cannot catch him or guard against him, you will have no choice but to consider yourself unlucky.

"What else can I do if I don't think I'm unlucky?"

"But it's not that simple today."

"Such a large amount of fire oil, gunpowder, lime powder, and more than 20 missing arrows cannot be made by one person. There must be many associates of the Tidan Shenhou sneaking into the Xuanwu Cave today. There must be a spy among us.

!”

"check!"

"find out!"

"It doesn't matter if you can't catch the iron gall god, but you won't let him eat the shit he eats inside and outside!"

Xiao Lin and Hao Chuang talked about the bullshit things Tiedan Shenhou did, and when he looked at the Xuanwu Cave, he was not so angry anymore. But he was determined to dig out the inner ghost hidden in his house.

A storm is brewing.

…

"Dig it!"

"If I can dig out a few moles, it can be regarded as my contribution to you."

Cao Xin couldn't help but smile when he saw and heard the conversation between Xiao Lin and Hao Chuang in the original fairyland.

At this time, he had returned to his original appearance and was comfortably soaking in a hot bath. Various flower petals and medicinal herbs were put into the tub to wash away all the smells on his body.

While washing, I paid attention to the chaos and follow-up in Xuanwu Cave.

A fierce fire cannot be extinguished by pouring oil or water.

By the time the fire subsided, it was already a mess.

Hao Chuang was the first to arrive. After repeated investigations and questioning one by one, he easily pinpointed the culprit on the 'Tiedan Shenhou'.

It's not difficult.

In early March, what Tie Dan Shen Hou did at the Xijing Ordnance Factory caused a sensation in the entire Xijing City. Seeing the fire oil, gunpowder and so on, a fool could guess that it was Tie Dan Shen Hou's handiwork.

But after further discussions between Hao Chuang and Xiao Lin, they could only draw one conclusion -

There is a mole!

"you do not say!"

"If there were no insiders, the inside should be coordinated with the outside, lime powder, fire oil, crossbows, gunpowder, how could such a huge pile be brought in?"

"Am I not going to be able to do anything with my sleeves?!"

Cao Xin laughed after hearing the two people's reasoning.

Excuse me.

He really knows how to do it.

such a pity!

Both Xiao Lin and Hao Chuang are smart people. They don't care about heaven or believe in ghosts and gods, and they don't think about gods and ghosts.

actually.

All smart people are like this——

For example, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce in "Young Bao Qingtian", even if they encounter the weirdest cases, such as murders in secret rooms, pretending to be gods and ghosts, etc., they will often think about artificiality and pretending to solve the problem.

, instead of thinking about such nonsense as 'portable space' and 'anchor return to the city'.

The smarter a person is, the less he believes in ghosts and gods.

When it comes to the 'Tiedan Shenhou' specifically, those in power and smart people will only tend to believe that there is a very secretive and powerful gang behind the 'Tiedan Shenhou'.
