At the same time, the back hall of the Qianzhou government.

The governor of Qianzhou, Yan Wenzheng, looked cold at this moment, and he was holding a letter in his hand.

Standing in front of him was a general covered in mess, with an unstoppable look of fatigue in his eyes.

I think it's just been a long journey.

"It's a good thing that Your Highness the King of Han did not come south, otherwise we would have killed Zhang Song that dog thing." Yan Wenzheng said coldly.

"Sir, have the matters in the city been handled?"

"Although the King of Han went to the north, if he received the news, in order to cover up his eyes and ears, he actually came to our place, then..." the general said in a low voice.

Yan Wenzheng nodded gently.

Although he had never seen Zhao Chen with his own eyes, he was not unfamiliar with Zhao Chen's name.

His Highness, who was strategizing on the battlefield, cannot guarantee that he would not go to the north openly, but actually gave himself a shot.

If you really want to discover something here, you will be dead.

Yan Wenzheng didn't know if Zhang Song's letter had been received by Zhao Chen, but he still had to prepare early now.

"Is that guy Zhang Song still at his house?" Yanwen was chilling and asked the servant next to him.

"Report to the Lord, Zhang Song is still in his own mansion. Our people have surrounded the entire Zhang mansion and will never let him escape." The attendant on the side replied quickly.

Hearing this situation, Yan Wenzheng's expression eased a little.

After a moment of silence, Yan Wenzheng's eyes fell on the general in front of him again and said, "At this point, we can only deal with this matter in the safest way."

"You will take people to Zhang Song's mansion tonight, and be sure to kill everyone without leaving a single living."

"Do you understand?"

"I will understand it."

...

That night, a group of thieves suddenly broke into the mansion of Zhang Song, a minor official in Qianzhou.

Each of them covered their faces and rushed into the Zhang Mansion without saying a word.

Kill people when you see them.

The next morning, when the government yamen runners arrived, they only saw the bodies of Zhang's people everywhere.

From the elderly to the children, all of them died tragically without exception.

When the onlookers saw the bodies being carried out from the Zhang Mansion, they couldn't help but shake their heads.

"Sir, everything is done." When the general returned to Yan Wenzheng again, his eyes were still blood red.

He brought people into the Zhang Mansion last night and killed everyone.

After returning, he poisoned the people he brought with him. Now he is the only one who committed the crime.

"Thank you for your hard work." Yan Wenzheng nodded with a smile.

Just as the general was about to get up, a sharp arrow shot towards him.

The general was so panicked that he could dodge.

The arrows brushed over his arm, bringing out a deep blood mark.

"Sir, why is this?" The general had not yet figured out why he was assassinated.

"Everyone is dead. If you don't die, I'm too dangerous." Yan Wenzheng looked at the general in front of him with a smile.

Although he was laughing, there was no smile on his face.

The eyes were staring at the general in front of him with a look of a dead person.

The general was shocked and wanted to escape from here, but he didn't want more arrows behind him to fly towards him like raindrops.

In a moment, the general's whole body was like a hedgehog, and his whole body was covered with arrows.

The general turned around and looked at Yan Wenzheng with unwillingness, and then died outside the lobby.

Yan Wenzheng waved his hand and someone immediately carried the general's body out.

Looking at the blood left on the ground, Yan Wenzheng let out a long breath of turbid air.

...

Half a month later.

The second street north of Qianzhou government.

The people were crowded everywhere.

In addition to the people, there was a large army blocking everyone.

A shocking sound last night broke the peace here.

All the houses within a radius of fifty meters were shattered by this explosion.

The streets are full of ruins.

A large number of people's bodies were carried out from the ruins, looking terrible.

"Why did it suddenly explode?"

"What exactly exploded? Why didn't you find out at all before?"

"I heard that some gunpowder exploded."

"gunpowder?"

"It is the gunpowder, the sky cannon that His Highness the King of Han invented before, and one by one, and one by one blowing up a large group of people."

"Invented by His Highness the King of Han?"

"How could it be so wandering here?"

"Who knows?"

"It's not that His Highness the King of Han is doing these here."

"If this is true, then..."

Among the people, there are many gossips.

Yan Wen was here with his army. When he saw corpses all over the ground, his eyelids also pounded violently.

He didn't expect that such a big explosion would happen here.

Such an explosion occurred and he was worried that he would not be able to submit the job.

If this news spreads to Qianzhou, then he will be done.

"If the order is sent, everyone is not allowed to discuss the explosion, and all those who violate the order are executed." After thinking for a moment, Yan Wenzheng could only come up with such a bad plan.

No matter what, you have to press the news into Qianzhou first.

The news cannot be allowed to spread to Chang'an.

"What should I do with these corpses?"

"There are still injured people, how do they resettle them?" asked a general and Yan Wenzheng.

Yan Wenzheng waved his hand impatiently and said, "The dead are buried directly, and the non-dead are placed in the back street of the government office, and people are sent to guard them."

"In addition, spies were sent out on the street, and everyone who was talking about this matter would be kept in prison."

"Yes!" The general took the order and left.

Yanwen was looking at the ruins in front of him and clenched his fists hatefully.

...

"Shopkeeper, is something happening here?"

"Why don't everyone talk?" A few days later, Zhao Chen and Li Ke walked into a tavern in Qianzhou.

While eating, the two found that none of the diners in the tavern spoke.

Even if you speak, it is a quiet whisper.

He looked like he was afraid of being heard.

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed, but he just gave Li Ke a silent expression, and then there was no expression again.

Li Ke looked at Zhao Chen in confusion. He couldn't figure out that no one was talking to the tavern for dinner.

It is impossible for a tavern to not speak, it is a custom in Qianzhou.

Zhao Chen didn't say anything, but just signaled Li Ke to have a quiet meal.

This time, Zhao Chen planned to go to all parts of the Tang Dynasty first.

But when he was about to set off, he received a secret letter from Qianzhou.

The letter said that someone in Qianzhou secretly obtained the method of making gunpowder and was secretly developing a production similar to the Sky Cannon.

The sky-bombing cannon is a killing weapon for the Tang Dynasty.

This thing is the safest thing to hold in the emperor's hands.

But now someone in Qianzhou has obtained the method of making gunpowder, which makes Zhao Chen a little worried.

So I changed my way to Qianzhou.
