I'm a useless prince, so what if I know a little bit of chemistry?

Chun Fang and Shen Qingqing in the carriage heard Chu Hu's behavior clearly.

Both of them couldn't help but feel a little scared because the scream of pain was too miserable.

But apart from the screams, neither of them thought there was anything wrong with what Chu Hu did.

It was well known that the Huns were cruel by nature. Even Shen Qingqing, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, had heard that after the Huns moved south and could not find food, they returned to plunder the villagers in the border villages and treated them as their food. The Huns called them two-legged sheep.

Some people would even take out babies still in the womb and eat them as a dish.

Compared with what the Huns did, it seems that Chu Hu's approach was a little too humane.

"what!"

The leader of the men in black screamed again. It turned out that when Chu Hu poured down the gunpowder, the leader of the men in black moved around and was stepped on the arm by Xiang Long. From the sound, it seemed that Xiang Long broke his arm.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Hu sprinkled all the black gunpowder on the severed finger of the leader of the men in black, and then burned it with a fire starter.

When the black powder came into contact with the open flame, it immediately burned, and the air was suddenly filled with the smell of burning meat.

The leader of the men in black twisted his body due to severe pain, looking extremely weird.

"Ah! I'll tell you, I'll tell you, as long as I tell you, can you please give me a quick death?" the leader of the men in black roared.

Xiang Long removed his foot that was still stepping on his arm and said, "As long as you tell us, we will give you a quick death."

"The person who sent us here is Daliang..."

But before the leader of the men in black could finish his words, there was no further news.

Chu Hu felt the man's breath and found that he was dead, so he spread his hands.

"Forget it, if we can't find out the answer, then we can just forget about it." Zhang Guangzhi shook his head and said.

Zhang Guangzhi knew very well that even if he found out, it might not necessarily be the mastermind behind the incident. Perhaps the mastermind was just a stand-in and would not be of much use.

"Oh, you're so useless. Wouldn't it be better if you died after you finish talking?" Chu Hu kicked the corpse and said angrily.

"Okay, let's talk about it later. The robbery and killing we encountered will not be caused by this wave of people." Zhang Guangzhi murmured as he looked into the distance.

As soon as they entered Liangdi, they encountered robberies and killings. How could there be fewer robberies and killings afterwards?

The road ahead is bumpy!

……

Beijing.

The two horse-riding merchants entered the city quietly. After entering the city, they went straight to the ancestral home of the Nian family without stopping.

The two people were Lin Fan and Wei Jingshui. Fifty miles after leaving Guangling City, Lin Fan disguised himself as an ordinary cavalryman and blended into the crowd.

After arriving at Heisei Village, Lin Fan hurriedly made a batch of simple grenades, which were the small porcelain bottles used by Chu Hu and others before.

After arranging everything, Lin Fan and Wei Jingshui quietly left Heisei Mountain.

The two men disguised themselves as merchants, mixed in a merchant ship, entered Yan by water, and then rushed non-stop from Yan to Liang.

Among them, Lin Fan relied on the horses at the post stations along the way to rush back to the capital within five days.

When he arrived in the capital, Lin Fan had no time to rest, so he went directly to the Nian family for help.

Bang bang bang!

Wei Jingshui banged on the door of the Nian family. Not long after, someone came out and opened the door.

"Who?"

Lin Fan was very familiar with the old man who opened the door. He was Nian Shou, the old butler of the Nian family.

In Lin Fan's memory, Nian Shou seemed to have always been in the Nian family and had been there for almost fifty years.

"Uncle Shou, it's me." Lin Fan said in a low voice.

"Who are you?" Nian Shou felt that Lin Fan's voice was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

Lin Fan raised his head, looked at Nian Shou, and said, "Uncle Shou, why did you forget me?"

When Nian Shou saw Lin Fan's face, he immediately recognized him and said enthusiastically, "Oh, it's you, young master. Why do you look like this? Come in and clean up."

"Uncle Shou, who is in charge of the family now?" Lin Fan asked after entering the door.

"Who else could it be? Of course it must be Nian Fu who is in charge of it." Nian Shou said.

Nian Fu is Nian Gui's cousin. He used to be an imperial censor and a talented person in the Nian family. However, after he offended the previous Emperor Liang, he was dismissed from office. After that, he became disheartened and unwilling to serve as an official again. He has been managing the Nian family for Nian Gui.

Nian Fu is loyal to the Nian family, always thinking about the family, and is very good to Lin Fan. When they wanted to make Lin Fan the future head of the Nian family, Nian Fu agreed almost at the same time as Nian Gui. It can be said that Nian Fu is the only person Lin Fan trusts besides Nian Gui.

"Where is Uncle Nianfu? I have something to talk to him about." Lin Fan asked.

"He's in the living room, discussing matters with Prime Minister Wang." Nian Shou said.

Lin Fan walked towards the living room without stopping.

Lin Fan was very familiar with the layout of the Nian family. He could almost walk to where he wanted to go with his eyes closed. It didn't take long for Lin Fan to reach the living room.

In the living room, Nian Fu was discussing Nian Gui's entrapment with Wang Chengen.

Nian Gui has been trapped for more than ten days, but Emperor Liang has not made any movement, which makes Wang Chengen suspicious. Is His Majesty preparing to take action against the Nian family?

So he went to the Nian family, hoping to discuss a countermeasure.

The Nian family cannot fall, at least not for the time being.

Perhaps the only one who could help Daliang unify the world was the Nian family. After all, the Nian family was the only aristocratic family in Liang that could support a large-scale war. Without the Nian family, Liang might end up being annexed.

But Wang Chengen really couldn’t understand it. It was impossible for Emperor Liang not to know this, but he still did it. What did it mean?

Just when the two of them were discussing fruitlessly, Lin Fan walked in.

"Uncle Nianfu, Prime Minister Wang, long time no see." Lin Fan said.

Nian Fu and Wang Chengen were thinking about how to break the impasse and didn't notice Lin Fan at all. When they heard Lin Fan's voice, they were stunned.

"Fan'er, why are you back?"

"Your Highness the Prince?"

Lin Fan said, "Uncle Nianfu, I won't say any more as there is no time to lose. Please prepare a cavalry and several hundred empty wine jars for me. I need them."

Nian Fu frowned and asked, "Fan'er, are you going to save big brother?"

Lin Fan nodded. At this time, Wang Chengen grabbed Lin Fan's arm and said, "Your Highness, you can't go to this grassland!"

"Yes, Fan'er, you are still young, and this grassland is not a joke." Nian Fu also said.

"Uncle, Prime Minister Wang, my father hasn't sent troops for a long time. I don't know what his intention is, but I can't wait any longer. I'm afraid that if it goes on any longer, my uncle and the others will starve to death." Lin Fan said firmly.

Wang Chengen pulled Lin Fan aside and whispered, "Your Highness, you really can't go to this grassland. The Second Prince captured my daughter and threatened me to ask His Majesty to send you to the heart of the grassland. This is clearly a way of killing someone with a borrowed knife. If you go to the grassland, you will never come back."
