How I Became the Emperor - Chapter 51

[51.Chapter 51: Write the word Sichuan for Sanpao]

That’s really cool!

At this moment, everyone present felt a huge storm in their hearts!

Looking at the burning and shortened fuse, Zhou Hongyuan’s face turned green and red and then white, which was extremely exciting.

The eyes of Luzhu next to him were about to pop out, his face full of disbelief.

She seemed to really not believe that Lu Qian really lit the fuse!

“Hold on! Don’t panic!”

At this moment, Zhou Hongyuan grabbed her shoulder with his big hand and said through gritted teeth: “I want to see if he will cut off the lead!”

This time A psychological game.

He bet that Lu Gan wouldn’t dare to actually fire!

However, the corners of his eyebrows twitched a few times, and he glanced at the lead from the corner of his eye from time to time. It was obvious that his heart was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

At the same time, everyone held their breath and focused on that lead.

Looking at the shorter and shorter fuses, it seemed that all the sounds between heaven and earth had disappeared, leaving only the sizzling sound of the fuses burning.

A faint smell of sulfur filled the air.

Seven inches! Six inches! Five inches… The fuse left outside the barrel was getting shorter and shorter. Lu Gan looked cold and stood motionless.

Three inches!

Everyone present took a breath, with their hearts in their throats.

Two inches!

All the servants and guards in the Zhou Mansion showed fear on their faces and stepped aside, leaving only Zhou Hongyuan and Lu Zhu standing in the middle of the gate, forcing themselves to remain calm.

In their bodies, the blood and energy were flowing rapidly, making a gurgling sound.

His face turned blue and white, he was frightened, angry, frightened and frightened.

An inch!

Lu Gan had no expression on his face, looking at the two of them like dead people.

The next moment, the fuse bloomed with the final spark, burned completely, and disappeared at the end of the barrel.

“Back off!”

Seeing this, Zhou Hongyuan roared angrily, his body glowed with white light, he grabbed the green bamboo and flew to the left.

At this moment, there was a roar and explosion in the air, and a ball of dazzling fire, mixed with thick gray smoke, erupted from the rear end of the divine artillery cannon.

The strong and pungent smell of sulfur and gunpowder spread throughout the place.

The divine artillery trembled violently, and the powerful counter-shock force was transmitted to the ground, directly cracking the stone slabs on the ground with dozens of thumb-width cracks.

The next moment, a large iron ball was shot out of the slightly raised muzzle, spinning rapidly and blasting out with a powerful whirlwind.

The sharp sonic boom spread ten miles away.

boom!

In the blink of an eye, the big iron ball hit the stone wall of Zhou Mansion’s gate and broke into pieces! The gravel is flying everywhere!

However, the speed of the big iron ball did not slow down at all, sticking to the ground and shooting forward like lightning!

Along the way, whether it was the screen wall in the front yard, the door of the main hall, the thick wall, or the various courtyard walls in the atrium, they were all destroyed like paper in front of this iron ball.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang… a series of ear-splitting explosions that shook the whole sky.

Looking down from a high altitude, wherever the iron ball hit, courtyard walls exploded, buildings collapsed, and sawdust, gravel, flowers, grass and leaves danced wildly into the sky in the wind.

Finally, with a loud bang, the big iron ball hit the high vermilion wall in the backyard of Zhou Mansion. Its kinetic energy was exhausted and it got stuck inside.

Immediately afterwards, the cracks spread out from around the big iron ball like a spider web, spreading to the entire courtyard wall.

When the wind blew, the entire vermilion courtyard wall collapsed to the ground, stones rolled down everywhere, and countless smoke and dust were stirred up.

When the wind stopped and the dust settled, a furrow more than one meter wide and half a foot deep appeared on the central axis of the Zhou Mansion, penetrating the entire Zhou Mansion.

Around this furrow, along the flower beds, living rooms, trees, rockeries, bridges… all the buildings collapsed and collapsed, as if they had been destroyed by a tornado.

silence!

Silence filled the place!

Everyone present looked at the dilapidated Zhou Mansion, their hearts were overwhelmed with shock, their mouths were dumbfounded, and they could not even speak.

Lu Gan… actually fired!

Although this shot was not an artillery shell, but an iron cannon shell, its lethality was equally terrifying! Using the power of the divine artillery to completely penetrate the Zhou Mansion, which is more than two miles deep, is simply appalling!

On the stone steps, Zhou Hongyuan looked back in disbelief.

I saw that the luxurious mansion in the past was now in ruins as far as the eye could see. I couldn’t help but feel so angry that my hands were shaking.

Beside him, the green bamboo’s face was as white as paper, with a look of fear and palpitations.

If Zhou Hongyuan hadn’t pulled her away just now, I’m afraid she would have been hit by an iron bullet and turned into a corpse on the ground!

“Lu Qian, you, you, you… you really dare…”

At this time, Zhou Hongyuan finally came to his senses, his eyes were red, and he stared at Lu Qian, as if he was about to pounce and bite him at any time.

Lu Gan glanced at him coldly, walked to the divine artillery nearby, and unsheathed his sword with his left hand.

Zheng.

There was a clear sword cry, a cold light flashed, and a large section of the fort’s lead was broken and fell to the ground.

Afterwards, Lu Qiangui put his sword into its sheath, blew the fire off it, stretched it under the cut green lead, and lit it.

Sizzle, sparks fly.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Hongyuan’s eyes were split, but it was too late to get angry.

Boom!

There was another earth-shattering explosion, and the big black iron ball burst out from the muzzle with red flames, whipping up a terrifying whirlwind and hitting the wall of the Zhou Mansion.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!

The same scene, the same loud noise, appeared again.

The people present were all stunned on the spot, as if they were struck by thunder.

Before the noise could subside, Lu Gan walked to the fort on the other side and lit the fuse directly.

In less than three breaths, the divine artillery was like a monster, erupting a ball of flame that burned everything. The third huge black iron ball, carrying the momentum of killing thousands of armies, rushed out of the muzzle like lightning. .

Sonic booms roared and stone fragments flew.

The big black iron ball shot through the entire Zhou Mansion in a few breaths.

In the air, the extremely strong smell of sulfur and gunpowder lingered for a long time.

But no one paid attention to this unpleasant smell. Their eyes fell on Zhou Mansion, and they were shocked when they saw the three iron bullets plowing out a shallow ditch.

Looking down from a high altitude, the huge Zhou Mansion looks like it is penetrated by a huge straight word “Chuan” and divided into four ruins.

“Madman! Madman! This Lu Gan is madman!”

On a tall building in the distance, Master Wei put down his telescope, the fat on his face was trembling, and there was a strong look of fear in his eyes.

In front of him, Wei Ling frowned silently and murmured: “Lu Qian is definitely not crazy! What does he have to rely on to actually dare to light a fire and fire a cannon?”

Before he could understand, the child’s cry, the woman The screams rang out from a corner of Zhou Mansion and could be heard far away.

However, when Lu Gan heard these voices, he was not moved at all. He just said two words expressionlessly: “Load!”

“Yes!”

Twelve bronze-armored detectives accepted the order and moved from the carriage. One by one, three large black iron balls were taken out of the black iron wooden boxes and filled into the barrels of the cannons.

A new fire certificate was also handed to Lu Gan.

Lu Gan picked up the fire stick and blew it, and a faint blue flame burned, almost transparent under the sunlight.

Then, the divine artillery moved its direction, and the black and cold muzzle was raised, aiming at the 70% high attic in the northwest corner of Zhou Mansion.

There is the ancestral hall of the Zhou Mansion, and it is also where the ancestral tokens of Zhou Hongyuan’s generations are stored.

Sizzling, sizzling, sizzling.

Under the horrified eyes of everyone, Lu Gan lit three fuses at once, then casually threw the fuse in front of Zhou Hongyuan.

Looking at the Huozhezi on the ground, Zhou Hongyuan clenched his fists loudly, his blood surged, his face was as red as Guan Gong, and his eyes were full of anger.

But the next moment, he bent his knees, leaned forward slightly, and knelt on the ground like a jade pillar pushing down a mountain of gold.

Stretching out his hands, he picked up the fire stick on the ground and raised it above his head.

“Zhou Hongyuan, a common man, is willing to accept the investigation of the Zhenfu Department! Mr. Lu, please show your respect and let me, the Zhou family, go free!” A trembling, deep voice came from Zhou Hongyuan’s mouth.

As the sound rang out, drops of blood fell on the stone steps, dyeing them into plum blossoms.

This sentence was clearly spoken by Zhou Hongyuan after he bit his lip. Anyone could hear the endless unwillingness, anger, frustration, and resentment in his words.

Seeing this scene, everyone present felt a sense of powerlessness and desolation at the end of a hero.

“Obviously we are good people, why do we look more like bad people at this time?” Shen Zishuang muttered in her heart and looked at Lu Qian.

At this time, Lu Gan looked cold and waved his hand, and ordered: “Come here! Arrest Zhou Hongyuan! Take him back to the Zhenfu Division! The others will follow me into the house to arrest his concubines, housekeepers, children, none of them.” Mistake!”

As he spoke, the sword on his waist was unsheathed, instantly cutting off the burning fuse.

“Yes!”

The four bronze-armored detectives responded to the order and pounced like wolves and tigers. The chains in their hands were wrapped around Zhou Hongyuan’s neck and body without ceremony.

Zhou Hongyuan held up the fire folder and lowered his head. His whole body seemed to have been drained of energy and collapsed. He allowed himself to be tied up without any resistance.

Then, Lu Qianlong strode out with striding steps and broke into the Zhou Mansion.

When passing by the green bamboo, he didn’t even glance at the pale-faced maid, as if she was just an ant and not worth mentioning.

After Lu Qian walked by, the green bamboo, who was covered in cold sweat, softened and collapsed directly to the ground, his crotch soaked.

There was no trace of arrogance in his eyes, only deep fear and… despair.
