It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

The Black Widow was drinking delicious vegetable porridge when she looked up inadvertently.

I glanced at the other three people who were drinking porridge from their bowls.
The most touching thing is the tenderness when she lowered her head, the waves in her heart were more turbulent than the shyness of the cool breeze...

It seems as if maybe, maybe, maybe... something is wrong?!

So, she looked up again in confusion.
Brother Hou San is very normal, there is no problem with being a big boss, and capturing a handsome boy...

Suddenly, in a flash,

Her heart was like a super gamma pulsar exploding!
"Boom!"
The Black Widow stood up, dropped the blue-rimmed bowl,
She instinctively grabbed the "single peg" on the table and pointed it at Shen Beixuan.
"You, you, don't move!"

The senior official and the third brother Hou, who were feeling very happy, were suddenly startled and looked at Lu Yuan at the same time.

Hey! This guy is holding the bowl with both hands...but where is the thin hemp rope on his body?

No one said to untie him... Damn it!

In fact, when Black Widow is tied up,
Lu Yuan deliberately inflated his wrist and intentionally misaligned it a little.
After the binding is relaxed and the anger is relieved, there will be space for movement.

It turns out that this method can remove the hand binding without anyone noticing.
As long as the hands can move, other bindings are not worth mentioning.
Therefore, while the three Zoroastrian killers were "eating and drinking",

Lu Yuan quickly untied the thin hemp rope and drank porridge with the other three people.

Seeing that he was discovered, Lu Yuan smiled faintly at the Black Widow:

"First load the gunpowder, then load the iron sand or single-headed bullet.

Finally, sprinkle some ignition powder in the gunpowder nest.
Otherwise, this thing won’t make any sound, and at best it’s just a lump of iron!”

Black Widow blushed.

I was so panicked just now that I used an empty gun to threaten the captive...

But is it too late to install it now?

She held up the "single peg" with an unpredictable look, doubt, regret, confusion...

"Suck yo yo!"

After drinking the wild vegetable porridge, Lu Yuan felt that his thirst symptoms were greatly alleviated.
Gently putting down the chipped blue-rimmed bowl, he smiled and said:

"It's okay! You can reload... I'll be waiting!"

At this time, the big boss and the third brother Hou also woke up.

They witnessed Shen Beixuan's skills with their own eyes. He jumped down from the second floor like a god descending from the sky. It was so cool!

He even fought with the number one assassin, and was clearly not at a disadvantage...

Such a martial arts expert is definitely not something they can resist.

In other words, if Lu Yuan wanted to kill them, the grass on their graves would be very tall!
The three killers gradually gathered together.
Black Widow plucked up a little courage and asked: "You, what do you mean?"

Lu Yuan shrugged and said, "You want to shoot me with a gun, right? How can you shoot me without ammunition?"

"You, you think I dare not kill you?"

Lu Yuan said with a smile:

"We all know each other so well, it would be boring to fight and kill each other!
How about this, let's talk about the conditions, and I will try my best to satisfy you as long as I can!"

Brother Hou San and the big boss showed interested expressions.

Since we walked together last night,
They were almost conquered by Lu Yuan's skills, eloquence and extensive knowledge.

However, Black Widow asked back contemptuously:

"Bah! You lackey, how can you be so kind?"

"Well! That depends on you.
Let's give it a try. Who knows, maybe I really have such good intentions? "

In fact, the three assassins also knew that Lu Yuan was not a lackey of the imperial court.
However, due to the failure of this assassination attempt...

In fact, even without Lu Yuan,

There will also be other guards who are willing to protect the prince at all costs.
Another thing is that their teachings have always advocated "overthrowing the powerful in the world".
Shen Beixuan was born into a farming family.

Still catching fish every day, he certainly can't be considered a powerful lord who bullies the poor.

The big boss knew that if this guy really wanted to deal with them, it would be easy.
So, at least, there is no obvious malice,

He said to Black Widow:
"In that case, just trust him for once...put down the gun!"

Black Widow also felt that holding a useless piece of metal,

It was really out of place, so I just went with the flow and put the gun down.

The big official sat down again and looked at Shen Beixuan.
After a while, he asked:

"Well, you are also excusable.
This time, let's just pretend that we didn't know each other until we fought, and we owe each other nothing.
From now on, we will keep our bridges to our own bridges and our roads to our own roads!"

Lu Yuan smiled and asked, "Why, you don't want any conditions?"

Black Widow taunted, "I want you to kill the prince, are you willing?"

Lu Yuan said frankly: "Actually,
It's not that difficult to help you kill the prince..."

"Ouch! Just you?"

"I can save people, so I can also kill people. Believe it or not!"

"Tsk, I don't believe that!"

However, the big official asked with interest:

"How about you tell me first, how can we kill the prince?"

Lu Yuan said:

"If you want to assassinate the prince, you must understand his travel patterns.

Set up an ambush at the point where he must pass, the success rate is no less than 50%! "

The big official shook his head and said:
“We knew this before, but

The old dog was very afraid of death. Whenever he went out, he was always surrounded by a dozen guards.
There is no chance to attack him, and even if I did, I couldn't hurt him.

Alas, this is the only time I’ve been closest to success…”

The Black Widow stared at Lu Yuan fiercely again.
Lu Yuan smiled and said:

"The devil is one foot high, the Tao is ten feet high.
Even the most rigorous defense will have loopholes.

As long as we find the key point, killing him will be easy!"

The Black Widow couldn't stand it anymore and asked angrily:

"It's easy to say, but if you're really capable, why don't you kill one of me and see?"

Lu Yuan was not angry either, and said:
"Okay, I'll tell you three ways that will definitely kill the prince!
First, get a foreign gun. As long as you practice your marksmanship,

Wait for him on the road he must pass, look down on him, and kill him like a chicken!"

Lu Yuan glanced at the "Du Jue Zi" and said:

"A short gun won't do. It has to be a long gun, with a range of a hundred steps at most.

Even if the shot misses, the gunman will still have time to escape."

what!
Everyone's eyes lit up. This was indeed a reliable assassination plan.

But Black Widow is still finding fault.
"The city defense troops keep their guns under strict surveillance. Where can we get them?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Guards on duty at night sometimes take a nap..."

Brother Hou's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded and said:

"Yes! The guards all carried foreign rifles! And there was only one man,

We can hide in the dark, wait for him to be off guard, strike him by surprise, rob him and run away!"

The Black Widow stared at Lu Yuan with eyes wide open, without saying a word.
Oh my, this kid has so many clever ideas!

The big boss nodded. They really couldn't defeat the large group of people.

However, they are good at launching surprise attacks on isolated sentries.

As long as we get a foreign gun and fire at a long distance, the concealment and suddenness will be greatly improved.
This guy has some skills!
"Well, what about the second method?"

"Using bombs to cause range damage, there are two methods: pre-planting and close-range throwing..."

"Come on! We dropped two bombs.
That old dog is still nothing... At best, he just makes a noise to scare people..."

"Well! That's because your formula is wrong, so the effect is naturally not good!"

Ok?
The three killers looked at Lu Yuan with strong doubts in their eyes.
"What did you say? The formula is wrong? Do you know how to mix explosives?" "Is your formula 'one nitrate, two sulfurs and three charcoals'?"

The three were shocked that the other party actually knew this top-secret formula... Maybe he really has a better formula!
The big boss quickly asked humbly: "Then tell me, what is the more powerful formula?"

"One nitre, two sulphur, five charcoals, a little icing sugar, Big Ivan,

Add water and mix well, rub into mung bean-sized particles, dry, and then press and seal. "

Finally, Black Widow asked in confusion:
"What's Big Ivan?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "It's just a kind of mushroom egg... You will know it later!"

Unexpectedly, Brother Hou San took out several small cloth bags from his arms and slapped them on the table.

"Come on! Make 'Big Ivan' as you said!"

Lu Yuan took a look and saw only three kinds of powders, white, yellow and black. They should be the three raw materials of nitrate, sulfur and carbon.
It seems that the two bombs in the hotel were his work.
He asked, “Can you get the frosting?”

For rural areas, salt is not cheap, but icing sugar is even more expensive, almost a luxury item!
The big official said nothing, took out a silver dollar, and said to the Black Widow:

"Go to the market and buy some if they have any!"

Without saying anything, Black Widow picked up the silver dollar and turned away.
Because she is a woman, she won't attract too much attention.
The big boss said:
"Don't just buy icing sugar, buy a few more things... but not too much of each!"

"Got it, I'll pay attention!"

Lu Yuan said, "Buy another pair of the smallest wine cups and punch a small hole in the bottom of one of them."

Black Widow was stunned and asked, "You want to drink?"

The wine cup with holes can be punched, but he didn't give me wine to hold. This kid is so weird...

Lu Yuan explained: "No, two wine glasses were filled with explosives to test the effect..."

"What's the use of something so small... Never mind, I'll buy it!"

After saying this, the Black Widow quietly left the thatched cottage and slipped out of the village.

Half an hour later, the Black Widow entered the house through the back door like a ghost.

She put a small lotus leaf bag on the table.
"Here! I bought the icing sugar!"

Lu Yuan opened it and smiled. It was brown sugar made by traditional methods.

"This needs further purification..."

Brother Hou San asked: "How to purify it?"

"It's easy! Just boil it in a pot!"

The couple in this family have already gone to work in the fields.
So, the four of them worked on their own, dissolved the brown sugar in water, and boiled it over high heat.

After boiling three times, it basically becomes colorless and transparent syrup.

After it cooled down, Lu Yuan took out the sugar cube, smashed it, and ground it into powder. The job was done.

Then, Lu Yuan roughly estimated the proportions.

Mix the four ingredients, add water, stir and mix, and roll into long strips as thick as mung beans.

The big boss and the third brother Hou held short swords.

As a cook, I carefully cut it into mung bean-sized particles.

After the grains were dried, Lu Yuan put them into two wine cups and compacted them.

Seal it with clay, and then use a cloth strip to wrap the two wine cups tightly together.
Finally, he took out the fuse from Brother Hou San's bag.
Insert it into the reserved hole at the bottom of the wine glass, and everything will be OK!

Brother Hou San looked at the "pocket bomb" in the other party's hand and asked in confusion:
"Brother Shen, does this thing really work?"

Lu Yuan smiled mysteriously:
“Some things are not about size, but about energy!
It's hard to say how powerful it is, but it's definitely more powerful than your two bombs!"

"Really? Let's find a place to try it!"

Just give it a try!
So the four of them quietly slipped out of the village and headed for a deserted place in the wilderness.

Soon they came to a hilly area with lush vegetation.

"Let's just stay here. There are no houses nearby!"

Lu Yuan stepped on the solid yellow soil.
"Right here, dig a hole and bury the bomb in it!"

The big boss was eager to know whether the new formula worked.
He immediately took out his dagger and dug a hole the size of a fist in no time.

Lu Yuan asked him to dig deeper.

So the big boss dug another fist deep.

Lu Yuan felt that it should be about the same.
Then he buried the wine cup bomb inside and stepped on it firmly.
He said to the three killers, "Step back ten steps and lie down. I'm going to light the fire. Don't get hurt..."

Only the big boss listened to the advice and immediately lay down.

Black Widow and Brother Hou San felt that

With just that little gunpowder and buried so deep, it's not as weird as you say.
He was just half squatting, craning his neck to observe.

After lighting the fire with a tinder,
"呲呲呲!"

Sparks and lightning all the way...

Lu Yuan immediately crouched down and rushed out.
He ran ten steps away and then slid to the ground.

Black Widow looked at his panic and couldn't help but mock him in her heart.

"Tsk! What a coward!"

In the blink of an eye, the fuse penetrated into the soil, and a wisp of green smoke floated up.
One second, two seconds...

Then, in the eyes of Brother Hou San, the world seemed to go into slow motion, playing frame by frame.

He looked at the yellow mud where the bomb was buried, and suddenly a spherical bulge appeared.
Then, there was a loud bang.
A cloud of red and black smoke rose into the sky.

Black Widow was caught off guard and was pulled to the ground...

The next moment, it seemed that there were still countless "whoosh" sounds breaking through the air.

Brother Hou San let out a loud cry and suddenly fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a scattered rain of mud fell from the sky and landed on the four people.

"Ahhh! It hurts!"

The third brother Hou, who was looking out, was unfortunately caught.
His left ear was cut off in half by broken porcelain pieces, making him the first victim of the wine cup bomb.

Fortunately, they are all killers who are willing to sacrifice their lives for their lives, and they are used to carrying medicine and gauze with them.
After dealing with "One Ear" Brother Hou San, everyone went to check the bomb crater...

"Suck!"

The big official took a breath of cold air;
He would never have imagined that a small bomb could create a radial hole the size of a washbasin.

Brother Hou covered his ears with one hand and stared at the charred pit in astonishment.

Black Widow was speechless.
She was thinking, if he had obtained such a powerful formula earlier, the prince would definitely not have survived!
However, it’s never too late to live a good life!

Now they have the recipe.

Just prepare a bigger bomb and find an opportunity.
I will definitely be able to blow up the evil lord and avenge my husband and predecessors!

She even creatively thought of

A gunman sniped from a distance, a grenade thrower approached and threw,

A two-pronged approach to ensure a one-hit kill!

The big official came back to his senses and clasped his fists towards Lu Yuan and said:

"Brother Shen! Thank you so much! We still have things to deal with, so we'll take our leave now!"

Looking at the three killers, their smug backs,
Lu Yuan sighed and shook his head.
It seems like you haven’t asked about the third method yet... Never mind, we’ll see each other again if we’re lucky!
Lu Yuan has a good memory.

Almost relying on the same route as last night, I walked all the way back to Zhuxiantai.

As soon as I arrived at the Zhu family's side yard, I heard my sister crying:

"...Ninth sister, what should I do with my brother...

Those people kill without blinking an eye... My brother, he... wuwuwu..."

Judy's voice rang out:
"Little sister! Don't cry, don't worry.
I will send someone to look for him right away and will definitely rescue your brother..."

Father and Mother Lu thanked him repeatedly.
Lu Yuan pushed the door open and walked in.

"I'm back...Ah, Wokai?!" (End of this chapter)
