A knife in love

Chapter 1685

After Shopkeeper Yin finished speaking, he stared at Shopkeeper Luo with both eyes, wanting to spew fire.At this time, shopkeeper Luo felt a little guilty, pretending not to know, turned his face to the other side, and did not meet shopkeeper Yin's eyes.Seeing that Shopkeeper Yin was about to scold him, Zhang Shi hurriedly said: "We'll find out if the goods are there or not, so why bother arguing here, it's just a waste of friendship?"

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and said to Qin Laowu: "Old Qin, only you can open the mezzanine in the bilge. When we get near the Japanese pirate fleet, I will trouble you to open the mezzanine in the bilge."

Qin Laowu nodded, and said in his mouth: "Qin invited a master craftsman to make the interlayer. I think the Japanese pirates don't have such skills, so they can find the interlayer."

After a while, the big ship had sailed near the Japanese pirate fleet.Qin Laowu ordered two boatmen to stop the big boat, and hurried into the cabin with Shopkeeper Hu, Shopkeeper Yin and others.Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, Qi Jiu, and Wang Xiaoyu stayed on the deck, turned their heads to look at the stern, because the line of sight was blocked by a lone peak, they couldn't see where the following Japanese pirate ship was.Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu could still hold their breath, but Wang Xiaoyu was very anxious, walking up and down on the deck, looking in the direction of the lonely peak, and muttering to himself, I don't know what she was muttering .

After a while, only the sound of footsteps was heard, and someone came out of the cabin.Li Qiufeng and others looked intently, only to see Qin Laowu walking out first holding a large wooden box.Then Shopkeeper Hu, Shopkeeper Yin and others carried three or four wooden boxes, large and small, onto the deck one after another.Qin Laowu put the wooden box on the deck, patted his stomach and laughed, and said triumphantly: "I said that the Japanese pirates don't have such skills, they can find the interlayer. The gunpowder and bullets are well hidden in the interlayer. Nothing was damaged."

Shopkeeper Hu and others were not as strong as Qin Laowu, so they had to carry a wooden box, and they were all out of breath.After placing the wooden box on the deck, shopkeepers Song and Bai sat slumped on the deck, panting heavily, unable to even speak.Shopkeeper Hu bent over, kept beating his back with his fists, and said in a trembling voice, "It's a pity we didn't bring the bird guns, otherwise we could have dealt with the Japanese pirates."

Qin Laowu opened the lid of the wooden box, and saw that it was neatly filled with white wooden boxes more than ten inches long and three or four inches wide.Shopkeeper Luo and others also opened the lids of the wooden boxes they carried up. Some boxes contained white wooden boxes, while others contained black cans.Wang Xiaoyu had never seen these things before, and he was very curious. He walked around beside the box and said, "Can these messy things burn the big ship?"

As she spoke, she looked into the wooden box in front of Qin Laowu, and reached out to grab a white wooden box.Shopkeeper Qin hurriedly stopped her and said, "Miss Wang, be careful, this thing cannot be touched easily."

Wang Xiaoyu was startled, glanced at Qin Laowu, and said, "What's so great about these boxes, could it be that there are poisonous snakes and centipedes inside?"

Qin Laowu smiled and said: "Although there are no poisonous insects in the box, it is more terrifying than the most dangerous poisonous snake in the world. No matter how powerful a poisonous snake is, it can only kill one person. Even if it does not kill itself, it must be beaten to death." But these white wooden boxes in the box are filled with gunpowder, which is so powerful that if a spark falls into it, or falls from the air to the ground, it will explode immediately. At that time, although this big ship is big, it will definitely be blown to pieces. Powder, of course we must die too."

Wang Xiaoyu curled his lips, and said disdainfully: "Boss Chuan, you can speak too much. If there is such a powerful thing in the world, how can our Ming Dynasty be afraid of Tartar pirates? We only need to bury a few of these big wooden boxes. , and the enemy can be completely killed.”

Qin Laowu shook his head, and said: "Miss Wang doesn't know something. If you want to use gunpowder to kill the enemy, you must hide it skillfully so that the enemy has no defense at all. You must know that soldiers and horses are moving around, and they will not gather easily. In one place. Therefore, even if a lot of gunpowder is buried, the enemy will not be killed if they are scattered. We are on a big ship right now, and the surrounding area is the size of a palm. If the gunpowder blows up, it will definitely kill Let's blow them up."

Shopkeeper Hu, Shopkeeper Yin and others saw Qin Laowu talking to Wang Xiaoyu, they didn't take it seriously, thinking to themselves that Lao Qin is really troublesome, why bother to explain more to this little girl?It is better to distribute a few boxes of gunpowder as soon as possible, and ignite all the big ships of the Japanese pirates.

Shopkeeper Ji is an expert in making gunpowder. Seeing that Wang Xiaoyu dismissed the power of gunpowder, he felt annoyed. He sneered and said, "Miss Wang, don't underestimate these gunpowder. It's not that Ji is talking big. Just one box of gunpowder is more than enough to blow up the big boat under our feet. If these boxes of gunpowder are piled up in one place, even the lonely mountain behind us can’t bear it, and it will collapse.”

After listening to shopkeeper Ji's words, Wang Xiaoyu put his hands on his hips, laughed loudly, and said, "You might as well say that you can blow up this cave with these gunpowder, wouldn't it scare me more?"

Shopkeeper Ji said sternly: "Miss Wang, Ji is not trying to scare you. The power of gunpowder is beyond your imagination. When handling and storing these gunpowder, you must be careful, otherwise it will explode, and none of us will escape." not drop."

How could Wang Xiaoyu believe it? Just when he was about to refute, he suddenly heard Qi Jiu say: "Sir, you said that these gunpowder can blow up that lonely mountain, is it true or not?"

Shopkeeper Ji was taken aback, glanced at Qi Jiu, and said, "Of course it's true. Ji absolutely dare not joke about such a big matter."

Qi Jiu turned his head to look at the isolated peak, and said word by word: "In this way, if we piled gunpowder under the isolated peak in advance, when the Japanese pirates chased them by boat, we would ignite the gunpowder and blow up the isolated peak. The solitary peak is more than a hundred feet high, if it falls down, hehe, what will happen?"

As soon as Qi Jiu's voice fell, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. After a while, Wang Xiaoyu clapped his hands first, ecstatic, and said in his mouth: "Okay, what a brilliant plan! If the gunpowder is so powerful, why should we bother to burn the boat? Go pile up gunpowder and blow up the lonely peak."

Xiao Dong, shopkeeper Hu and others were also surprised and delighted, and felt that Qi Jiu's plan was very ingenious.But Zhang Shi shook his head, and said: "The Japanese pirates still have eight or nine big boats. When they chase after them, they will definitely come around from both sides of the isolated peak. Even if we can blow up the isolated peak, it can only fall to the other side. It’s just one side, and the Japanese pirates on the other side can still rush over. And it is necessary to calculate when to ignite the fire so that the collapsed lone peak hits the Japanese pirate’s boat just like shooting a strand of hair from a hundred steps away. No one in the world can do this. According to Zhang, we should split up and burn the big ship first. When the fleet catches fire, the morale of the Japanese pirates will definitely decline. At that time, Lao Qin will try to find a way to fight with the Japanese pirates. Zhou Xuan, maybe we can have a chance!"
