Chapter 745 Chu Ye, Lao 8's Explosives Base
Chapter 745 Chu Ye, Lao 8's Explosives Base
When we left the city, there were thirty White Tiger Guards, but now, there are only ten left.
Baili Moqing had ten corpses sent over, dressed them in the clothes of the White Tiger Guards, piled them together with the White Tiger Guards who had died before, and burned them.
After bandaging everyone in the Liu family, Shu He felt a little sorry.
"Grandfather, uncle, will you blame me for not killing those people?"
If she insisted on killing him, Baili Moqing would probably agree.
Liu Kun patted her hands and consoled her: "Silly child, what are you talking about? Why would I blame you?"
"Your Highness's decision is correct. These people were the best fighters of Apocalypse. It's a pity that they died like this. Moreover, didn't Your Highness say that Apocalypse is facing internal and external troubles now? Your Highness's actions are for the greater good!"
"Our Liu family has been in the military for generations, isn't it for the stability of the country and the well-being of the people? How could we disregard the safety of the country for our own selfish desires and grudges?"
Liu Jingchen also said: "Yes, Ah He, don't look down on our Liu family!"
Shu He smiled, feeling warm in his heart, "Yeah, yes, yes, it's true that I am narrow-minded, hehe..."
In front of the elders, Shu He seemed to become an innocent little girl again, acting coquettishly and softly, and was more lively than usual.
Liu Kun looked at her current appearance. She was completely different from the person who had just rushed into the crowd and turned into a killing god. He couldn't help but feel distressed.
"I thought you were living the life of a lady from a noble family in Kyoto, but I didn't expect you to have such high skills..."
Liu Jingchen was also very confused and couldn't help asking, "The killing technique you just displayed was somewhat like an assassin's assassination technique. Ah He, have you ever been an assassin?"
Shu He paused for a moment while bandaging his hand, and the smile on his face became less natural. "I..."
As if he saw her embarrassment, Liu Kun glared at Liu Jingchen, then patted the back of Shu He's hand and comforted her, "It's okay, don't talk about it if you don't want to. You've grown up and are much more capable than your brothers!"
"Grandfather believes that no matter what you've been through or what you've done, you'll always be a child of our Liu family and the most obedient granddaughter in Grandfather's heart!"
Shu He nodded and smiled at him, feeling warm in her heart.
What she has always wanted is this kind of complete trust and preference, this is family love!
After the matter was settled, Baili Moqing asked Xuan Feng to buy a few more large carriages from Kyoto, and sent thirty guards to accompany the Liu family and their group back to Anzhou.
Liu Kun later wanted to stay in Kyoto to help them, but was rejected by Shu He.
The emperor has already decided to kill the Liu family. If they return to Beijing, they will definitely not have a good ending!
It would be better for them to return to Anzhou according to the original itinerary and act as if nothing happened today!
Baili Moqing also said that the safety of Tianqi is not only in Kyoto, the border is also very important. As long as the Liu brothers can maintain the stability of the border, it is equivalent to helping them.
Seeing that he said so, the Liu family had no choice but to accept it and leave.
Shu Yuanqing and his brother also followed. Before leaving, Shu He said "take care" to them.
In Baili Moqing's opinion, the words "take care" were already a huge step forward for her.
After seeing off the Liu family, Shu He and Baili Moqing sat in the same carriage. He lay on her legs and took a nap with his eyes closed.
I haven't slept for three days and I feel a little tired.
Shu He gently stroked his cheek, feeling a little distressed.
I wanted to let him sleep a little longer, but unexpectedly, he started talking.
"The missing person case that occurred at the Dali Temple a few days ago is related to Lao Ba."
"Why don't you sleep a little longer and talk about it after you wake up." Looking at him, it was obvious that he hadn't slept for several days and had been running around day and night.
He turned over and sat up. "Just take a rest."
"I've made some progress on the staff of that old man you asked me to investigate."
"His name is Chu Ye, he's from Zhuangcheng, he came to Kyoto three years ago, and he's been working under Lao Ba ever since."
"Old Eight built a large workshop in Geshan, Hengcheng, a hundred miles north of Kyoto. He mainly develops the gunpowder and explosives we saw some time ago."
"Those who disappeared from the fireworks workshop were all abducted by Lao Ba's men so they could research and make explosives."
Shu He actually had this idea before, but without evidence, she couldn't say anything.
"Is that person's identity reliable? Have you investigated it in detail? For example, like me, is his personality changing drastically?"
Baili Moqing tilted his head to look at her, a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Don't you think that he, like you, came from another world?"
Shu He nodded. "As far as I know, no one, whether it's Tianqi or the surrounding major powers, has discovered the use of explosives as a weapon."
"The explosives mix used in Mingguo Temple is not something that ordinary people can create. Such powerful weapons require numerous rounds of research, experimentation, and testing, as well as countless failures, before they can be gradually stabilized."
"But the explosives appeared so suddenly last time. Your intelligence agency didn't even get any news before that!"
"So I guess the person who made this explosive must have a stable formula and technology in mind to be able to make this thing quietly."
Baili Moqing's face showed a serious expression. "So, in the world you mentioned, this kind of thing is already very mature?"
Shu He nodded. "Not only are they mature, but things that are even more powerful than this are very common. There is a complex and sophisticated bomb. Just one of them can destroy the entire country of Tianqi!"
Baili Moqing's face was filled with shock after hearing this. "One can destroy an entire country? Is this possible?"
Shu He chuckled, "You have to know that we are thousands of years behind them!"
"If this is really the case, Chu Ye cannot be kept." Baili Moqing's face was solemn, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
If he could really make a weapon like that, it would definitely be the biggest danger to Apocalypse.
Chu He chuckled, "Don't worry, he can't make weapons like that. The most he can make are explosives and muskets."
At this time, technology alone is not enough, we also need to have the latest equipment and talents.
"But this person really can't be kept alive. If he were to create something like a musket, even a third or fourth rank expert wouldn't be able to withstand it!"
"If explosives were used on a large scale on the battlefield, it would truly become a one-sided massacre!"
