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

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Get into the tent!"

Seeing raindrops falling, Lin Fan and others became even more anxious.

Fortunately, more than 2,000 people reacted very quickly and had all entered the tents before the rain got heavier.

Inside the tent, Lin Fan frowned.

This rain couldn't have come earlier, but it started falling just when I was preparing to attack the Xiongnu royal court. Isn't this going against me?

"Damn it, this evil God, is he deliberately playing tricks on us?" Chu Hu was furious and immediately pointed at the sky and started cursing.

Everyone looked very bad. A heavy rain had disrupted all their plans.

Lin Fan had not failed to consider the possibility of rainy days. Before setting off, Lin Fan had talked with Zhang Guangzhi about the weather. However, generally speaking, precipitation in the grassland area is extremely scarce at this time of year. Even if there is precipitation, it is snowing, not raining.

But the weather was not good, and a rain might destroy Lin Fan's plan.

"My lord, what should we do now?" Xiang Long asked.

"Let's wait until the rain stops and the sky clears up, then we can dry the gunpowder." Lin Fan said in a deep voice.

"My lord, you don't have to worry too much. Not only are we affected by the rain, but the Huns' reinforcements have also been affected to a certain extent. We still have a chance." Xiang Long comforted.

"I hope so. We have time to waste. I hope my uncle has time to waste as well." Lin Fan murmured.

Some of the gunpowder was stored in marching kettles, while others were stored in containers. In short, there were all kinds of gunpowder to ensure that everyone could carry the most gunpowder in the most convenient way.

Lin Fan checked and found that the gunpowder was not too damp and was not completely soaked by the rain.

Because everyone dodged in time, only a few people carried gunpowder that was so damp that it could not be ignited.

Inside the tent, Lin Fan ordered a fire to be made and everything that could be ignited was lit to keep warm and dry the damp gunpowder.

Chu Hu sat around the fire. He was originally going to the Xiongnu royal court, but because of a heavy rain, he could only sit around the fire and complain: "Why is the rain falling so damn endlessly? How can we go to the Xiongnu royal court?"

Lin Fan was also extremely annoyed. If it hadn't rained, he would have reached the outside of the Xiongnu royal court at the latest and deployed his own forces.

"Wait and see. If the rain doesn't stop, we'll sneak into the city in the rain. No matter what, we must fight against the Xiongnu royal court." Lin Fan said firmly.

"But my lord, we only have more than 2,000 people. If we forcibly attack the Xiongnu royal court, wouldn't it be like throwing a meat bun at a dog?" Xiang Long said worriedly.

"We had 2,000 people before, and we still have 2,000 people now. Is there any difference?" Lin Fan raised his eyebrows and said.

Xiang Long stopped talking after hearing this. After all, these words could still affect the morale. If Lin Fan took it to heart and charged him with the crime of shaking the morale of the army, he would not even have the room to refute.

It was an extremely dangerous act for more than 2,000 people to go deep into the heart of the Huns. If they lost their morale, the result that awaited them would be self-evident. In the worst case scenario, none of them would leave the grassland alive.

"Let's all take a rest. Oh, by the way, now in the Xiongnu tribe, everyone should wear Xiongnu clothes over their armor. Brothers on patrol should just wear Xiongnu clothes. Remember to find a few brothers who can speak Xiongnu to ensure that no matter where you meet the Xiongnu, you will not be discovered at the first time." Lin Fan said.

I don’t know why, but Lin Fan always feels uneasy. It is for this reason that Lin Fan gave such an order.

"Yes." Xiang Long replied, because he and Chu Hu took turns arranging patrols and sentry duties.

After walking out of the tent, I didn't know what Xiang Long was going to do, but I heard Xiang Long shouting outside the tent: "Zhaozi, light up the lights."

"Brother, I'm hungry." Qin Shian said aggrievedly.

Lin Fan touched Qin Shian's head and said to Chu Hu, "Go get Shian some food. If the brothers are hungry, they can eat some too. We can't leave now anyway, so let the brothers rest more."

Chu Hu responded, but did not arrange it himself. Instead, he sent two people to arrange everything. He stayed in the tent, watching the stove in the tent, and constantly adding firewood to it.

Although the temperature in the tent gradually rose, the atmosphere became more depressing, and there was an indescribable feeling of depression.

In the tent, apart from the sound of Qin Shian chewing food, the only sound was the crackling sound of the fire burning.

No one spoke. Lin Fan stared at the fire and began to think about what to do.

The attack on the Xiongnu royal court must not be delayed too long.

Nian Gui now learned that someone had penetrated deep into the grassland and was going to attack the Xiongnu royal court.

Therefore, Nian Gui would certainly not do anything out of line, but Nian Gui really didn't have much food left. If he delayed too long, Nian Gui and others would inevitably starve to death.

Before Lin Fan could come up with a plan to fight the enemy, he heard someone outside shouting, "There's a water leak! Quick, save the gunpowder!"

Lin Fan's heart suddenly sank, and he hurried out to take a look. He found that it was raining heavily, and many of the tent roofs had been dented by the rain, and the rain leaked into the tents through the dents.

Everyone started to get busy, some were busy rescuing gunpowder, and some were busy cleaning the rain water on the tent.

"My Lord, go back first. It's cold outside." Seeing Lin Fan standing in the rain, Chu Hu hurried over to persuade him.

Lin Fan was a little anxious at the moment, and coupled with being drenched by the rain, he felt a little dizzy, with black spots appearing in front of his eyes.

"I'm fine." Lin Fan steadied himself and said.

"Chu Hu, go and help."

"But my Lord..."

"Go quickly." Lin Fan said.

"Oh, okay." Chu Hu sighed and went to help.

Lin Fan looked at the busy crowd and wanted to go over to help, but he found himself dizzy again.

Qin Shian was accompanying Lin Fan. Seeing that Lin Fan looked unhappy, he became worried and asked hurriedly, "Brother, are you okay?"

Lin Fan felt dizzy and his body was a little unsteady, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Brother is fine, go and help."

Qin Shian was worried about Lin Fan and didn't want to help. He just wanted to look after Lin Fan, so he said stubbornly: "I won't go. I want to look after my brother."

Lin Fan was concerned about Huoyao's safety, and he became anxious. He said, "Go quickly, or I won't give you food."

Qin Shian still shook his head. Before he could say anything, he saw Lin Fan's body sway and he fell down.

Qin Shian was horrified and quickly hugged Lin Fan, shouting, "Someone, come! My brother is dead."

The people around were shocked and gathered around. When they saw Lin Fan's appearance, their faces turned pale with fright.

"My Lord, what's wrong with you, my Lord!"
