Qin Shuhuai lay on the roof for a while.

I saw a group of strong men enter the backyard, and then from a large room, they carried out boxes of things, which looked heavy.

Qin Shuhuai quietly got out of the room, quickly hid behind a flower bed, and got closer to observe.

Two strong men were carrying a very large and long wooden box, which was probably too heavy, so they put the box on the ground and took a breath.

When the box hits the ground, there is a "jingling" sound.

Listen to the sound, it should be a weapon inside.

There were a lot of boxes, and it took dozens of big men half an hour to move them.

Then load the truck and set off.

Qin Shuhuai couldn't suppress his curiosity, and went to the big room where the boxes were stored.

Before the door of the house was locked, Qin Shuhuai entered in a flash.

Inside, it's empty.

But there was a peculiar smell wafting through the air.

It's kind of like the smell of gunfire.

Qin Shuhuai squatted down, and through the moonlight spilling in from the window, he saw some fine powder on the ground.

I dipped some of my fingers and looked at it carefully, and my brows furrowed.

It's gunpowder!

So the last thing shipped to Lanzhou was gunpowder?

The empress wants to blow up the demon sect masters in Lanzhou City?

But the Demon Cult is heavily guarded there, how can she bury gunpowder?

Not to mention secretly digging holes and digging over, if this can be successful, how can the Demon Sect's thick soil flag be embarrassed?

Not to mention burying it, even if she wants to bring gunpowder from outside the city into the city, it will be difficult to reach the sky, right?

There are more and more questions in my mind.

Now he had to figure out the empress's plan thoroughly.

Otherwise, not only would he not be able to save Yan Chengzhi and the others, but he might also be able to get in.

Speaking of which, no matter how the Empress and the Demon Church kill each other, he, a third-party force, is always the weakest party. It is true that the sandpiper and the clam compete for the profit of the fisherman, but if you want to be the fisherman, you must first know the situation of both parties.

Thinking of this, he didn't want to sleep anymore, so he immediately went back to the side room and flattened the quilt and bed as if he had moved.

Then go out and travel overnight.

He wanted to arrive at the so-called "grove outside Lanzhou City" before the arrival of that shipment.

When they returned to the outside of town, they found that the horse they had tied was gone.

I couldn't help but curse a few times, and I didn't know which bastard took me away.

Coincidentally, a group of businessmen who were rushing to the night road passed by on the official road.

After the Demon Sect took over Gansu, the security in Gansu became better, and even merchants dared to rush at night.

Qin Shuhuai immediately stepped forward, still using the old method, and proposed to buy them a horse at double the price.

A businessman is a businessman, and as soon as he hears that he has to make money, he immediately closes the deal.

Qin Shuhuai mounted his horse, bypassed Weidian Town, and then went straight to Lanzhou.

At noon the next day, we rushed to Tongwei County.

This time he tied the horse to a very hidden corner and sneaked into the town.

I ate in the town, and when I came out, I found a hat for sale.

I thought that if I went all the way through this, I would encounter the secret whistle of the Demon Sect on the way, so it was better to buy a hat to wear - anyway, there were many people wearing hats, and he was not the only one.

So I bought a hat and simply went to the ready-to-wear store to buy a white gown.

Get out of town, change your clothes, and put on your hat.

At first glance, he looks a bit like those people from the Western Regions - of course, it doesn't look like it on closer inspection, because the standard of clothes is completely different.

Get on your horse and move on.

After two days and one night, he finally arrived twenty miles away from Lanzhou City.

It is estimated that the shipment will arrive in more than half a day, so he is waiting on the official road in the east of the city.

When the night came, I finally saw a convoy of more than twenty horses hurrying up.

It was the horse team that had come from Weidian Town.

Qin Shuhuai quietly followed, seeing how they would deliver the goods next.

The convoy went on a few more miles, then turned into the trail, and after a quarter of an hour, came to a wooded area.

Stop, as if waiting for something.

After a while, two horses came, and at once there were two of them.

Through the light of the torch jumping, Qin Shuhuai saw that one of them was very familiar.

I was surprised when I remembered it.

Isn't this the Second Apostle of the Demon Cult?!

I'm rubbing!

The second apostle personally came to answer the empress's things?

Did he take refuge in the empress?

Damn, now that the Demon Sect has become this virtuous character, there is such a big traitor?

But is it reasonable for the second apostle to come and pick up the goods in person, with such an obvious target? He is not afraid of being exposed? Why didn't he send a man?

Qin Shuhuai felt that his head was about to burst with all kinds of question marks.

Ah, hey, you're tired of doing this to me, a voyeur, okay?

When the two apostles came, they continued their journey with these men and goods.

Further on, the road is full of demon sect sentry posts.

Fortunately, it was night, Qin Shuhuai changed into black clothes early, and with his skills, he was naturally not discovered.

These guards were supposed to check all the goods, but after seeing the two apostles, they did not check and let them go directly.

In just a dozen miles, it has gone through five checks.

Qin Shuhuai somewhat understood.

The Demon Sect is now extremely strict with the people and things that enter Lanzhou City, if the Second Apostle does not go out in person, it is estimated that even if he has a token, he will be strictly investigated by the meticulous Demon Sect soldiers.

In addition, it is more likely that if the Second Apostle rebelled, his men might not have rebelled either. The belief of the Demon Cultist is very firm, and the Second Apostle must not dare to take the risk of assigning his subordinates to do such a thing easily, in case his subordinates find out that something is wrong and report to the Sect Master, wouldn't the matter be completely exposed?

That's why the two apostles had to come in person!

It's just that Qin Shuhuai doesn't understand at all that the status of the two apostles in the Demon Sect is already extremely high, why do they want to rebel against the Demon Sect?

The convoy successfully entered Lanzhou City.

After Qin Shuhuai saw them enter, he also found a section of the city wall with relatively few garrisons, and quietly turned over.

Continuing to follow, the convoy stopped in front of a large mansion in the city, and then the strong men moved their things in.

Qin Shuhuai thought to himself, so the gunpowder that was transported last time was also hidden here?

Or is it already buried?

He is now a little convinced, if the second apostle has taken refuge in the empress, then the empress is very likely to bury gunpowder in Lanzhou City.

The question is, where is this gunpowder buried?

It shouldn't be possible to bury it directly under the governor's yamen, right? The Demon Sect Leader lives there, and the surrounding masters are like clouds, even if there are two apostles as internal responses, they can't bury gunpowder, right?

Where can it be buried?

If you accidentally jump up there, people will be a little hot, and you will be blown up even if you are awesome!

But how do you check this?

After thinking about it, I can't think of a way to do it for the time being.

So I had to go out of the city and go to Sanlipu in the east of the city first.

Sanlipu is a very small town, with hundreds of households.

According to what Shen Xi said, Qin Shuhuai found a blacksmith shop.

In the middle of the night, a tall and thin blacksmith was still striking iron, and he was not afraid of disturbing the people.

"Excuse me, is this Chen's blacksmith's house?" Qin Shuhuai asked.

The tall and thin blacksmith glanced at Qin Shuhuai carefully and said, "My surname is Chen." Who are you?"

Qin Shuhuai walked up to him, lowered his voice, smiled faintly, and said, "My surname is Qin, and I am entrusted by Senior Shen to come to you." ”

The tall and thin blacksmith put down the red-hot iron in his hand, and immediately led Qin Shuhuai into the dark room.

There was a musty smell in the house.

"Are you Qin Shuhuai?" asked the blacksmith, his tone not very friendly.

Qin Shuhuai didn't mind either, and said, "It's exactly below." ”

After all, he and the Liang Zi of the Demon Sect have grown up, and if this blacksmith is a member of the Demon Sect, he will naturally not give him any good looks.

Blacksmith Chen took out a fairly new quilt from a dirty wooden box, threw it on the greasy bed, and said, "You can sleep here at night." Don't go out if it's okay, wait for Elder Shen to pass the word. ”
