Chapter 181 Gunpowder
Chapter 181 Gunpowder
Tuoba Kui looked at the Fifth Prince Nanqiu in disbelief, not knowing what he meant by this.
But before he could open his mouth to refuse, the fifth prince of Nanqiu, Lu Jinmin, had already made arrangements before him.
"Go out and turn left. There is a man in black waiting there. He will give you food."
The leaders looked at each other, all half believing and half doubting.
It's only a few steps away, so just go and take a look. If they are real, they can take the food and leave. If they are fake, it won't be too late for them to come back and ask Tuoba Kui for an explanation.
Apparently, all of them thought so, and they left without waiting for Tuoba Kui to speak to stop them.
Tuoba Kui's face was as black as the bottom of a pot at this time. He had just lost hundreds of thousands of warriors, and now these people openly ignored him.
This is really too much.
The two people in the hall remained deadlocked for a quarter of an hour without anyone speaking.
Lu Jinmin was waiting for Tuoba Kui to speak first.
Tuoba Kui was waiting for those people to come back.
He had similar thoughts to those people and was half-believing and half-doubting what Lu Jinmin said.
It was not until a quarter of an hour had passed and those people had not returned that Tuoba Kui believed what Lu Jinmin said.
"Fifth Prince, what do you mean?"
Seeing that Tuoba Kui finally spoke, the Fifth Prince Nanqiu put away the folding fan in his hand and looked at Tuoba Kui with a smile in his eyes.
"Khan, it's just some food. We in Nanqiu have plenty."
"So? The Fifth Prince certainly wouldn't give out so much food for nothing."
"Khan, you are being too polite. Tuoba Jiangheng and I are good friends, and you are also my uncle."
"Now that something so serious has happened in Beidong, there's no reason for me to just stand by and watch."
"Jiang Heng?"
"Yes, two years ago, I traveled to Beidong and unexpectedly met Brother Jiang Heng. We hit it off very well. It was only recently that I learned that Brother Jiang Heng was actually the Seventh Prince of Beidong."
"If you are Jiang Heng's good friend, why did you barge in without permission?"
"And you're making decisions for me without my knowledge. What are you trying to do? Do you want me to owe you a favor? Or do you want me to do something?"
Lu Jinmin raised the corners of his mouth into an extremely perfect arc, and looked up to meet Tuoba Kui's suspicious gaze.
"Uncle, if you don't give me any benefits, do you have any other options?"
Tuoba Kui was silent. He really had no other choice.
Based on his understanding of the new king of Dongxia, if they massacred a village in Dongxia, he would definitely fight to the death with Beidong.
His own army suddenly lost hundreds of thousands of men. If other tribes attacked Beidong at this time, he would be caught in a dilemma.
The situation in Beidong will only become more difficult by then, so we have to stabilize the tribal leaders first and then make plans.
"At least I don't need to take out so much food."
The corners of Lu Jinmin's mouth were still curved in a perfect arc, and his clear eyes looked harmless.
"Uncle, I have no intention of asking you to pay me back. Now you are sending those small tribes away without paying a single grain of rice."
Tuoba Kui frowned again, wondering what the Fifth Prince of Nanqiu was up to.
"Fifth Prince, we Beidong people don't like beating around the bush. Just say what you want to say. I don't like guessing."
The smile on Lu Jinmin's face not only did not fade but became even brighter.
"Look at what Uncle said. I just couldn't stand the cruelty of the Dongxia people, and I wanted to do something for the people of Beidong. We in Nanqiu don't lack anything, especially food and weapons."
"By the way, speaking of weapons, we at Nanqiu have recently developed quite a few new weapons. I brought some with me as a gift for you, uncle, when I came to visit you this time."
"Uncle, why don't you come with me to take a look?"
The harmless expression on Lu Jinmin's face, coupled with the constant calling him "uncle", made Tuoba Kuixian, who was feeling annoyed, not know how to refuse.
After thinking about it, I decided to go out for a walk. If I keep thinking about it, I'll be so angry that I'll die.
So he let Lu Jinmin lead the way, and he followed closely with a group of servants.
As soon as he went out, he saw his seventh son standing outside.
He has many children, but he is not familiar with most of them. His seventh son is taciturn, so he has even less impression of him.
"Father Khan."
"Ah."
"Brother Jiang Heng, come with me and show Uncle the gift I brought."
"it is good."
Lu Jinmin led a large group of people out of the royal court and stopped at a remote place.
Since he knew that Lu Jinmin brought him weapons, Tuoba Kui followed Lu Jinmin for such a long distance without saying anything.
"Uncle, this weapon is extremely powerful. I personally think the fewer people who see it, the better."
"It's okay, it's just a weapon, there's nothing wrong with looking at it."
Seeing Tuoba Kui's indifferent look, Lu Jinmin's smile became even wider.
Tuoba Jiangheng, who was usually taciturn, stood up and spoke for a rare occasion.
"Father Khan, this weapon is indeed extremely powerful. Perhaps it can become our secret weapon."
Tuoba Kui looked at the two mysterious people suspiciously.
Seeing this, Lu Jinmin dismissed all his men, leaving only one person who was responsible for demonstrating weapons.
Tuoba Jiangheng directly drove everyone back to the royal court.
Now that he was here, Tuoba Kui did not hesitate. He wanted to see what was making his seventh son so nervous.
He left five guards behind and asked the rest to follow him back to the royal court.
After the people had left his sight, Lu Jinmin took out a bundle of things that looked like firecrackers from a large box.
Tuoba Kui looked a little disappointed, as he had thought it was some powerful weapon.
They are just some firecrackers. At most they can break a person's skin. How powerful can they be?
Lu Jinmin saw Tuoba Kui's disappointment and disdain, and carefully explained to him the use of gunpowder.
Tuoba Kui was stunned when he heard this, but he had never seen such a weapon before and he didn't quite believe what the other party said about being able to blow up mountains.
"Uncle, the description is too one-sided. Just look at the actual operation."
Lu Jinmin gave the guard a look, and the guard understood and took a bundle of gunpowder.
After running hundreds of meters, he put down the gunpowder and then walked back pulling the fuse.
He stopped a few dozen meters away from the people, took out the fire starter in his arms and lit the fuse.
Then he quickly ran back to Lu Jinmin.
Tuoba Kui looked at this scene with disdain, and despised the cowardice of the Nanqiu people in his heart.
It's just a firecracker, why does it need to be so far away?
The fuse ignites very quickly.
Although Tuoba Kui was somewhat contemptuous and disdainful, he still stared at the firecrackers in the distance to see how powerful they were that they needed to be so far away.
The fuse quickly burned to the end, and a puff of white smoke came out of the firecracker.
He was about to laugh, but it was a dud.
The next moment, there was a loud "bang" that almost penetrated his eardrum.
A huge explosion occurred where the firecrackers were set off, and in an instant a big hole was blown out on the ground.
