Exile: Empty half of the capital and blow up the enemy's palace

Chapter 219 Desert Eagle

Yun Qingqing couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard this.

Yun Chengying added, "Seventh Brother was so frightened by the black cat that he turned and ran, shouting for help as he ran. The black cat kept chasing him, and Seventh Brother was so panicked that he bumped into a bamboo pole in the yard and fell flat on his face."

Yun Qingqing couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard this.

Yun Chengxi glared at Yun Chengying and said unhappily, "Xiaobai, if you ever tell this story again and try to ruin my reputation, I'll tell you about that time when you were a kid hiding snacks and got bitten on the butt by a rat!"

When Yun Chengying heard this, his face suddenly changed and he retorted anxiously: "You...you don't talk nonsense! There is no such thing!" But a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.

Yun Qingqing's eyes lit up, her gossip burning as she looked back and forth between the two men. "Really? Seventh Brother, tell me, did Eighth Brother really have such an embarrassing experience?"

Yun Chengxi crossed his arms and said proudly, "Of course it's true! When Xiao Ba was little, he was very fat, like a ball. His uncle wanted to help him lose weight and didn't let him eat any snacks. But Xiao Ba secretly hid a few snacks under his covers, intending to eat them in the middle of the night. But a big rat ate his hidden snacks and bit his butt in the process!"

Yun Qingqing couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard this, and teased the two of them, "Seventh Brother, Eighth Brother, you two are hurting each other."

Yun Chengying said angrily, "You're such a grown-up and you're still bringing up old things. Don't talk about this anymore."

Yun Chengxi raised his eyebrows, a smile on his face: "Okay, as long as you don't mention the time when I was chased by a cat, I won't mention the time when you were bitten on the butt by a mouse when you were a child."

At this time, a guard entered the pavilion and respectfully reported: "Seventh Young Master, Eighth Young Master, the old marshal wants you to go to the study."

Yun Chengying and Yun Chengxi looked at Yun Qingqing when they heard this. Before they could say anything, Yun Qingqing waved at them and said, "Seventh Brother, Eighth Brother, go and do your work. Don't worry about me."

Upon hearing this, Yun Chengxi and Yun Chengying turned around and hurriedly left the pavilion.

Yun Qingqing turned around and sat on the stone bench, supporting his chin with both hands and began to think about the explosives found in Prince Xian's mansion. Thinking about the purpose of the time traveler who made the explosives, Yun Qingqing stood up suddenly. He had to ask Prince Xian where these explosives came from.

Just as she stood up and walked out of the pavilion, she saw her elder brother walking towards her hurriedly, holding a long object wrapped in black cloth in his hand.

Seeing this, Yun Qingqing quickly walked over and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you in such a hurry? What are you holding in your hand?"

Yun Chengyan stopped, his expression solemn, and asked Yun Qingqing: "Abao, do you recognize this thing?" As he spoke, he untied the black cloth, revealing what was inside. Abao suddenly knew a lot and also possessed the Qiankun bag. Subconsciously, he felt that Abao must recognize this strange thing.

Yun Qingqing saw that there was a Desert Eagle pistol inside. She frowned and said, "Brother, this is a pistol. It can kill people at a distance and has great lethality. Where did you find this thing?"

This pistol can only be produced with modern technology.

Yun Chengyan's expression grew increasingly serious as he said in a deep voice, "It was found in the home of a businessman who was in cahoots with Prince Xian."

Yun Qingqing pressed on, "Brother, besides this pistol, did you find anything else strange?"

Yun Chengyan shook his head and said, "We only found this pistol, and nothing else strange."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingqing said to him, "Brother, I want to meet that businessman and ask him something."

"Okay, I'll take you there." After Yun Chengyan agreed, he took Yun Qingqing out of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion and went to the sky prison where the merchant was imprisoned.

……

The two came to the entrance of the Heavenly Prison. Yun Chengyan took out the token, and the two entered the Heavenly Prison unhindered.

Yun Chengyan took Yun Qingqingqing through the intricate prison cells with familiarity, and finally stopped in front of a cell.

In the prison, the merchant was curled up in the corner. When he heard the footsteps, he slowly raised his head, his face full of fear. He stared at Yun Chengyan and Yun Qingqing in horror, thinking they were the ones who came to take his life.

Seeing this, Yun Qingqing said to Yun Chengyan, "Brother, have someone open this cell. I want to go in and talk to him."

Upon hearing this, Yun Chengyan winked at the jailer beside him. The jailer understood and quickly took out the key to open the cell.

Yun Chengyan waved his hand and said, "All of you go down."

"Yes, sir." The jailers received the order and left the prison.

Yun Qingqing walked into the cell and came to the merchant. The merchant was so scared that he trembled all over and knelt in front of Yun Qingqing, begging for mercy in a crying voice: "Please forgive me, I was just confused for a moment and was deceived by King Xian. I didn't mean to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason!" He kowtowed continuously, and his forehead hit the ground with a dull sound.

Yun Qingqing said, "Alright, stop kowtowing. I want to ask you something. As long as you answer truthfully, I will give you a lenient punishment."

Upon hearing this, the merchant nodded hurriedly, his voice trembling, "Sir, feel free to ask me anything. I'll tell you everything I know!"

Yun Qingqing took out a Desert Eagle pistol from the space and asked him, "Where did you get this?"

The merchant replied without hesitation, "Sir, I bought this pistol from the Floating Cloud Pavilion in the Ghost Market."

"What is the Floating Cloud Pavilion in the Ghost Market?" Yun Qingqing asked with a frown.

The merchant said tremblingly: "The Ghost Market is a mysterious market that only opens at night, and all kinds of strange things are sold there. The Fuyun Pavilion is very famous in the Ghost Market, selling all kinds of rare treasures, rare items, and various weapons of unknown origin. I bought this pistol at a high price in the Fuyun Pavilion. I wanted to buy it for self-defense, but I was caught here before I could use it." The merchant said with a bitter face. The idle king was collaborating with the enemy and treason. He helped the idle king do some bad things, and his life was in danger.

Yun Qingqing became interested upon hearing this. "Where is the ghost market? How do I get in?"

The merchant replied, "Sir, this ghost market doesn't have a fixed location. It's usually held in some very remote places. I know of one on the edge of a desolate forest outside our city. On certain days, many people gather there to set up stalls and trade."

Then, the merchant continued, "As for how to get in, just go to the ghost market yourself. But you must follow the rules and control your mouth. Don't talk too much. Don't be curious about others' identities or where their things come from. If you see something you like, negotiate the price and take it away."

"Then how do we get to Fuyun Pavilion?" Yun Qingqing asked him again.

The merchant said, "Sir, you need a pass to go to Floating Cloud Pavilion. You can get a pass at a specific contact point. I spent a lot of effort and money to get a pass."

Yun Qingqing frowned slightly and asked, "Where is that specific contact point? Do you know? Also, what does this pass look like?"

The businessman nodded quickly, his expression nervous. "I know a contact point. It's in a shabby noodle shop in the south of the city. The owner is a one-eyed old man. He's selling passes. The pass is a black wooden sign with a skull carved on it."

Yun Chengyan asked him in a deep voice, "Besides pistols, what other strange things does this ghost market sell?"

"Sir, there are many strange things sold in the ghost market, including skulls, underwear worn by emperors and nobles, necklaces made of poisonous snake fangs, toe specimens of a person with six toes, and..." The merchant blabbered on about a lot of things he thought were strange.

Yun Chengyan frowned and his mouth twitched as he listened. He interrupted him in a deep voice, "That's enough, stop talking!"

The merchant was speaking excitedly, but was startled by Yun Chengyan's harsh shout. He stammered, "Sir, did I say something wrong? I just wanted to tell you everything I know. I don't mean anything else!"

Yun Chengyan looked at him and said, "I'm asking about something strange. It's something like a pistol, a weapon I've never seen before."

The merchant was stunned for a moment, then said, "Sir, the Ghost Market does have a lot of strange weapons. One time, I saw someone selling a strange black weapon the size of a fist with a pull ring on it. The man said it was a 'Thunder Bomb' and it could blow people away."

Yun Qingqing's eyes moved as she listened, and she asked him, "Who is that man? What else did he sell?"

The merchant replied, "Sir, I don't know his identity. Everyone in the ghost market wears a mask, so it's impossible to see their appearance. Asking someone's identity is a serious taboo. At best, you'll be kicked out of the ghost market, and at worst, you'll be killed." He then added, "Besides selling thunder eggs, that man also sells underwear from princes and nobles, as well as all kinds of strange and bizarre items."

Yun Qingqing's eyes flashed when she heard this, and she continued to ask, "How old is that person? Does he speak strangely?"

The merchant thought for a moment and said, "That man sounds young, but he speaks very strangely, often using strange words that are hard to understand."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingqing continued to ask, "What strange words did he say?"

The merchant frowned, racking his brains for thought. After a while, he finally spoke, "He said, 'Friends, don't miss this if you're passing by.' He also said, 'Guys, this is a one-of-a-kind piece. There's no other like it in the world. If you miss this today, you won't have another chance in ten thousand years.' 'Guys, who would understand? I begged and pleaded with the best to get this treasure from someone so noble. I'm making a loss today to give it to everyone. It's purely out of love.'"

Yun Qingqing couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard this. This time traveler was an interesting person. Yun Qingqing asked jokingly, "Does anyone buy the underwear he sells?"

"Master, there were so many people buying the underwear that it sold out in no time. To be honest, I wanted to buy a pair too, but I was too slow to grab them."

Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and suddenly found a business opportunity. There were too many underwear in her space, which polluted the space. It was time to sell them!

Yun Chengyan frowned and said in a deep voice, "So many people are buying the underwear he sells. Is there something special about the underwear he sells?"

The merchant said, "I don't know either, but that person said that these underwear are filled with the auspicious energy of noble people, and wearing them will bring a smooth career and good fortune. Everyone is very tempted to buy them. I also hope to have good fortune in the future, so I want to buy these underwear to wear back home."

Yun Chengyan: “…”

Pig brain!

The merchant said this with a sincere expression, looking eagerly at Yun Chengyan and Yun Qingqing, and then continued, "My lords, young master, I have told you everything I know. Please spare my life. I promise to be an honest person in the future and not do anything illegal."

Yun Chengyan said, "These are not my business. Once the Ministry of Justice investigates the evil deeds you have committed, they will determine your sentence according to the law." After that, he said to Yun Qingqing, "Abao, let's go."

Yun Qingqing nodded and followed him out of the prison.

"Brother, I also want to meet Prince Xian and ask him some questions." Yun Qingqing said to Yun Chengyan.

"Okay." Yun Chengyan nodded and led Yun Qingqing through the winding and dark passage towards the cell where Prince Xian was imprisoned.

The two men came to the cell, and Yun Chengyan raised his hand to signal the jailer to open the door.

Prince Xian was lying on the ground like a corpse, without any sound. Hearing the noise, he suddenly sat up from the ground, staring at Yun Qingqing with flaming eyes. If this look could kill, Yun Qingqing would have been cut into pieces by his eyes.

Suddenly, a pig's head caught Yun Chengyan's eye. He was startled for a moment, then he took a closer look at the Pig-Headed King. He saw that his face was swollen like a pig's head. His eyes were narrowed to slits by his swollen eyelids. His chin was crooked, and there was dried blood at the corner of his mouth. He looked utterly miserable. Whose work was this? Well done!

"Damn..." Prince Xian was angry and wanted to scold Yun Qingqing for beating him like this, but all his teeth were knocked out by Yun Qingqing, his speech was unclear, and his jaw was also crooked. He could only say one word before his face twisted in pain.

Seeing this, Yun Qingqing said with some annoyance, "Oh, I forgot I knocked out all of Prince Xian's teeth. He can't speak clearly anymore."

Yun Chengyan: “…”

Abao is very fierce now.

Prince Xian listened and glared at Yun Qingqing with eyes full of anger, as if he wanted to eat her alive. Then he suddenly stood up and attacked Yun Qingqing.

Seeing this, Yun Chengyan's eyes turned cold, and he kicked Prince Xian with quick eyes and hands.

The kick was so powerful that it sent Prince Xian flying sideways. Prince Xian hit the wall of the cell heavily, making a dull "bang" sound.

King Xian collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain. He wanted to get up but was unable to do so and could only twitch continuously on the ground.

Yun Qingqing said, "Brother, let's go. This idle prince has become like this, and we can't get anything out of him."

She had already obtained a lot of useful information from the merchant. She felt that the explosives might have come from the time traveler who sold underwear in the ghost market.

Yun Chengyan nodded, and he and Yun Qingqing turned and walked out of the prison.

After they walked out of the prison, Yun Qingqing said to Yun Chengyan, "Brother, I want to go to the Ghost Market. I want to find out where that pistol came from, and where the explosives in the Xianwang secret room came from."

Yun Chengyan said solemnly, "Abao, I'll go with you."

Yun Qingqing waved her hand and said, "No need, big brother. I can go by myself."
