Fortunately, these three things are not difficult to find. The sulfur used during the Dragon Boat Festival is prepared in the homes of the people, and the charcoal left over from burning to drive away mosquitoes is also left at home.

As for the saltpeter, Xue Lince directly led people to clean up the wolf dung that the rebels used as poison yesterday, and extracted the nitric acid from it, which was not too difficult to collect.

In this way, not only the white smoke of wolf dung in the city was cleaned up, but also the waste was used, and the saltpeter was also prepared properly.

Xue Lince piled up these three things, and added saponins and aristolochia powder to them according to the content in memory to increase the power, and tested them one by one according to the ratio to see which ratio had the strongest blasting power.

He was busy here like a raging fire, yet Cen Ju was upset.

The regent was the chief culprit who wiped out more than 100 members of the Xue family. Xue Lince was the only descendant of the Xue family. What is he doing now?Are you working so hard for the regent's military exploits?How is this different from deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors!

"My lord," Cen Ju hurried up, holding Xue Lince's gunpowder filling hand, "My lord, do you know what you are doing?"

Xue Lince's eyebrows twitched, and when he looked up, he saw Cen Ju's face was covered with cold sweat, and his facial features were about to wrinkle together.

He broke away from Cen Ju's hand, feeling a little displeased, "What's wrong with you?"

Cen Ju squeezed his fists, stepped forward and persuaded: "My lord, do you still remember how the [-] members of the Xue family were buried in the flames and slaughtered?"

Xue Lince was unmoved. Seeing this, Cen Ju twitched the muscles on his face, took another step forward, and said sadly: "My lord! It was all ordered by the regent back then! He is the enemy of the Xue family! You should serve the Xue family!" More than 100 people took revenge, why are you still helping him like this? What happened to you?"

The more he talked, the more excited he became. When he was talking, his chest began to heave violently, and his face turned pale. Seeing Xue Lince's hands kept moving, he even tried to snatch the gunpowder.

"My lord, stop!" He yelled while rushing, "I, Cen, will not let you help him even if he dies. At that time, he will receive the military achievements, and the Xue family will bear the hatred. How can you forget the hatred of people!"

Xue Lince couldn't bear it anymore, turned sideways to dodge his snatching, raised his hand and hit him on the shoulder, Cen Ju's movements were not as flexible as Xue Lince's, and at this moment he was so angry that he didn't even have the intention to dodge, so he took a solid slap and staggered back It took a few steps to stand still.

"My lord! You!"

He was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, the veins on his forehead were bulging, like the roots of an old tree protruding from the ground, his face was red and white, and his hair almost burst.

"Shut up!" Xue Lince couldn't bear it anymore, "Now you are blindfolded by hatred, and you are taking the opportunity to kill the regent to avenge the Xue family. Have you ever thought that the regent is now rehabilitating and defending the country? You have killed He, the [-] soldiers in this city are leaderless and vulnerable, what about the hundreds of thousands of innocent people in this city? For the sake of hatred in the past, do you want to destroy the entire family of the people in this city?"

Cen Ju's expression froze, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just opened his mouth and didn't utter a word, and the expression on his face became even uglier.

Xue Lince frowned, and spoke loudly, "You only have private and family affairs in your eyes but no national affairs. How did you become your father's confidant? This is the time when life and death are at stake. You are so stubborn that you want to take revenge at this time. ?"

Cen Judeng was sweating profusely and wanted to argue.

"You go," Xue Lince said bluntly, "I have repeatedly seen you as my father's confidant, and I have spared you. I didn't expect you to be so stubborn, and now I can't tolerate you anymore."

Cen Ju was shocked, lifted his clothes, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and cried, "My lord! Are you really going to drive me away? Back then, I swore to Lord Hou that I would die to help you!"

Xue Lince became annoyed when he heard this, "When did you help? Was what you did useful at all? If it was just useless, it would be fine, but it would cause trouble for me over and over again. If I keep you again, I don't know what to do." What a disaster, I will not drive you out of the city when there is chaos and danger inside and outside the city, but before the battle is won, you must not appear in front of me again, otherwise, you will be like this gunpowder!"

After that, he raised his hand to ignite the fuse in his hand, and with a "crackling" movement, Xue Lince threw the gunpowder made into a tube in his hand towards a deserted low wall.

There was only a loud bang, and the low wall was instantly smashed, and bricks and tiles were scattered everywhere, flying more than ten feet in mid-air.

Cen Ju was so frightened that he trembled, and it took him a long time to recover, swallowed his saliva on his pale cheeks, then got up in a panic, and backed away without daring to say a word.

Xue Lince was just trying to scare him, but he didn't expect the gunpowder to be improved so quickly. In order to prevent nights and dreams, he hurriedly took the remaining gunpowder to look for the regent, and it took less than two hours.

The regent didn't expect him to achieve such a small achievement so quickly, so he asked him to try it out suspiciously.

Xue Lince didn't say much, and added three medicines according to the original ratio, then added a small amount of Aristolochia saponins, covered the gunpowder with a layer of gravel, and finally placed it behind a higher and thicker wall.

There was another loud bang, and I saw that the thick wall was smashed to pieces by the explosion like a thin piece of paper washed away by water. Potholes are actually sharper than a flying arrow.

Everyone present was shocked, the regent was stunned for a moment, then he was surprised and delighted, and he also looked at Xue Lince with admiration.

Before he could be happy in the future, another soldier came to report.

"Report! The traitor found a substitute, and started to activate the trebuchet again!"

Everyone was stunned, but the regent showed no signs of fear. He put his hand on the hilt of his sword and said boldly: "It's just in time! This time, we will kill them all!"

After finishing speaking, he directed everyone to quickly load the gunpowder and carry it to the tower.

Everyone acted quickly, and soon moved jars of gunpowder to the city wall. Looking down from the top, they saw that the rebels had already repaired the trebuchet and were moving the boulders up in an orderly manner. Directly attack the people in the city.

The regent was also unambiguous, and directly asked the three archery teams with the most exquisite archery skills to move out huge crossbows, and tied the three largest jars of gunpowder to the crossbows.

Both sides were ready to take their positions, and the regent seized the moment when the other side was about to deliver the boulder, squinted his eyes, and shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"

The soldiers moved when they heard the sound, and there was a "click" sound of the mechanism starting in their ears.
