Chapter 222 I have become the Taoist Master

Wannian County.

In an ordinary house in the suburbs, Taoist Qian was staring at a copper furnace with sweat all over his forehead.

This copper furnace was no taller than an adult, but it was carved with many strange patterns. It was exactly the one he had used in Shangzhou before.

With a handy copper furnace and a variety of materials, Taoist Qian is confident in refining explosives.

When the last material was thrown into the copper furnace, Taoist Qian couldn’t help but step back, because this step was the most dangerous.

If you are not careful, an explosion may occur!

As time passed, Taoist Qian suddenly shouted, “Pull out the fire!”

The guy standing by removed all the fire primers from the copper furnace without saying a word.

Taoist Qian stared at the copper furnace nervously. This was his first time refining copper here, so he must not make any mistakes.

Otherwise, wouldn’t that guy Liang Mengbiao eat him?

As the temperature of the copper furnace gradually decreased, no abnormal changes occurred. The smile on Taoist Qian’s face became more and more intense, and then he opened the copper furnace.

“How about it?”

Liang Mengbiao asked nervously.

“It’s done!”

“Master Dao, I am done!”

Taoist Qian excitedly placed the explosive in front of Liang Mengbiao and said, “This is what your highness the King of Wei used before!”

“This thing?”

Liang Mengbiao looked at the white spot in front of him with suspicion.

How many houses can this thing really blow up?

“good.”

Taoist Qian said excitedly, “This is it!”

“Just add a little bit of water and it will explode instantly. Its power is quite amazing!”

Liang Mengbiao looked at Taoist Qian deeply and said, “It would be better this way.”

“Continue refining. I’ll go inform His Royal Highness Prince Qi!”

“it is good.”

Taoist Qian nodded.

He knew that the King of Qi would definitely come to verify the successful production of the explosives.

This is also a great opportunity for him to ask for something!
Liang Mengbiao left quickly and called his confidant, asking him to keep an eye on the yard. He then led a horse and rode straight to Chang’an City.

Arriving at Prince Qi’s mansion, Liang Mengbiao immediately dismounted and asked, “Is the prince at the mansion?”

“The prince is in the garden.”

“it is good.”

Liang Mengbiao went straight to the garden without saying a word.

When he arrived at the garden, Li You was talking to Yin Hongzhi, and was a little surprised to see him coming.

“See you, Your Majesty.”

“You weren’t over there keeping an eye on Taoist Qian, so why did you come back?”

“Your Highness, Taoist Qian has already refined the explosives. I came here specially to deliver a letter to Your Highness.”

“Done?”

Li You and the other man looked at each other, both showing joy on their faces.

Liang Mengbiao nodded, “Master Qian lived up to everyone’s expectations. After careful verification, he succeeded in one go.”

really!

The king was not wrong about him!
Li You nodded repeatedly, “Where is the explosive?”

Liang Mengbiao: “This thing is too dangerous. I didn’t bring it with me. It is still in Wannian County.”

Li You laughed and turned to look at Yin Hongzhi, “Uncle, do you want to come with me to see the power of this explosive?”

“nature.”

Yin Hongzhi nodded.

He was particularly curious about explosives.

What kind of thing could destroy several houses so easily?

If it is put into the battlefield, it will change the battlefield.

“Prepare the car and go to Wannian County!”

After a while.

A carriage, surrounded by Liang Mengbiao and others, left Chang’an City and headed straight for Wannian County.

When he arrived at the yard, Li You couldn’t wait to ask where the explosives were.

When Taoist Qian carefully held the explosive and presented it to Li You and the others, Li You’s face was full of confusion.

Could something this small as an egg really be so powerful?

“How many explosives did Li Tai use to destroy the house that day?”

“About ten kilograms.”

Taoist Qian recalled, “At that time, 20 kilograms of explosives were refined, and they took them all away.”

“Chonghuafang and Xishi exploded one after another. I think the magnitude of the two explosions should be about the same.”

Li You nodded and pouted at Liang Mengbiao, “Try the power of this thing.”

“it is good!”

Liang Mengbiao immediately arranged personnel to prepare.

After a while, a water tank filled with clean water was carried over by several people.

Taoist Qian reminded: “Your Majesty, this thing is dangerous, please step back.”

Li You nodded, and the group retreated a dozen steps.

After Taoist Qian threw the things into the water tank, he turned around and ran to Li You and others.

Chi Chi!

Thick smoke rose, followed by large amounts of water droplets.

Li You’s eyes were filled with excitement as he looked forward to the water tank being blown to pieces in an instant.

However, the effect was not as good as he had imagined.

Bang!
There was a low muffled sound, and the water tank broke into pieces, with water flowing all over the ground.

Li You frowned and looked at Taoist Qian. “This thing doesn’t seem to be as powerful as you said.”

Taoist Qian said in a deep voice: “Your Majesty, the explosion that night was much more severe than it is now.”

Li You nodded, “How did you make it at that time?”

Taoist Qian: “Put the explosives into the bamboo tube, put water in one section and some iron sand in the other section.”

“Once thrown out, the water in the bamboo tube and the explosive will come into contact and explode instantly.”

“At that time, the iron sand in the bamboo tube will also scatter instantly, and anyone touched by it will either die or be crippled!”

Li You nodded thoughtfully.

In this case, the explosive has not yet been made into a real product. Something the size of an egg can blow up a large water tank. If it is large enough, its power must not be underestimated.

“well done!”

Li You gave high praise.

Taoist Qian grinned and immediately put forward his request, “Your Majesty, it is too boring for me to refine these things here. Can you let me go for a walk in the city?”

“no!”

Li You directly rejected Taoist Qian’s proposal.

“Change your request.”

“Then, Your Majesty, could you please send me a few girls?”

“…?”

Li You turned his head with a strange expression and looked at Taoist Qian.

Yin Hongzhi laughed and said, “Master Qian, this is your real purpose, right?”

Taoist Qian chuckled.

Li You nodded and said, “They are just women. Just concentrate on refining this thing here. When I return, I will prepare three beautiful concubines for you. How about that?”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

Taoist Qian was delighted to receive Li You’s affirmative answer.

The learned literary and martial arts were sold to the imperial family.

Although he did not learn any literary or martial arts, he at least gained the recognition of King Qi Li You and became a guest of honor.

As for Li Tai, that is already a thing of the past.

Moreover.

Taoist Qian didn’t think he could easily leave the yard under the surveillance of Liang Mengbiao and others!

“Work hard, I won’t treat you unfairly!”

Li You looked at the water stains on the ground, smiled and left with Yin Hongzhi.

on the way back.

Li You couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “With this, my chances of winning are better!”

Yin Hongzhi nodded and agreed: “Congratulations, Your Majesty.”

Li You: “This person’s weight must be firmly grasped in our hands!”

“Uncle, I would like to trouble you to help find three girls and send them here.”

“give it to me.”

Yin Hongzhi smiled indifferently.

……

Prince’s residence.

Su Chen, who had just come out of the ear room, saw Sun Qiang standing outside the yard waiting for him with a smile.

“Is something wrong?”

Su Chen frowned.

Sun Qiang: “Cao Yuan is here.”

Su Chen’s heart moved, “Is there any news from Li You?”

Sun Qiang nodded.

Su Chen strode out and came to the main hall, where Cao Yuan had been waiting for a long time.

“I’ve met the young master.”

“No gift.”

Su Chen waved his hand, “Have you found where they are?”

Cao Yuan said in a deep voice: “Sir, we have successfully found the hiding place of those people, and we also heard the explosion.”

“Although the sound was very small, it can be confirmed that it was Prince Qi Li You who went there to verify the explosives!”

Su Chen tapped his folding fan and asked, “Did the King of Qi go to verify the power of the explosives?”

Cao Yuan: “That’s right.”

It seems that the incident in Shangzhou was done by Li You.

But this guy did a clean job. Not only did he take away the people and the goods, he also hid them.

“Where are people?”

“In a yard outside Wannian County.”

“It’s quite hidden.”

Su Chen smiled.

Cao Yuan nodded and said, “When we followed them, we were almost discovered.”

“There are nearly twenty people watching outside the yard. Any disturbance will alert the people inside the yard.”

Su Chen grinned. Li You seemed to care a lot about these people.

Cao Yuan continued, “The guys at the market have been keeping an eye on us. We noticed that they bought a lot of raw materials in the past few days, and now they have succeeded in refining it. Sir, should we start early?”

“No rush, no rush.”

Su Chen smiled and waved his hand.

Now that we know their location and that they are making explosives, why are we in such a hurry?

As long as they don’t leave any traces, these people will naturally not leave the yard easily.

and so.

Either don’t take action, or… let them all die there!
As long as this goes smoothly, not only can Li You suffer a loss in silence, but he can also get rid of this person, as well as Liang Mengbiao and others.

Money, energy, manpower…

boom.

There was an explosion and it was destroyed instantly.

Just thinking about it, Su Chen felt excited.

As for Li You, I’m afraid he must be heartbroken, right?

Su Chen said with a smile, “The more explosives they make now, the better it is for us.”

“Keep watching, don’t alert the enemy.”

“I want to give Li You a surprise.”

“Yes!”

Cao Yuan smiled and nodded.

“By the way, how’s the progress with Lu Fei?”

“My Lord, Lu Fei and his men have sent news that they have arrived in Qizhou, but they have not yet found any useful information.”

“Don’t worry. We have people in Qizhou. If we investigate carefully, we will definitely find something useful.”

Su Chen said with a smile, “His Royal Highness Prince Qi has given us two surprises, so we have to respond properly.”

“Go ahead, keep an eye on Wannian County, don’t let them get away.”
