Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

Chapter 417 The Recipe is Missing

At this time, it was the border area between southern Xinjiang and Sichuan.

A deafening roar filled the air as forest fires raged.

The one besieging them from the outside was none other than Liu Su!

He took the Thunderclap Thunder from the northern frontier and was fleeing towards the capital.

Therefore, they always believed that Liu Su was the Crown Prince's man.

Hua Buyan also said that he destroyed the last Thunderclap Bomb. At the time, Huo Chang'an thought that the other two bombs had been accidentally detonated during their escape.

It turned out that Liu Su had brought him to the southern border!

They even successfully cracked the recipe and produced it in large quantities.

Sure enough, this thing is a double-edged sword; it can wound the enemy, but it can also kill you.

It now appears that they have also occupied Bashu.

"Yan Meng!" Liu Su shouted.

"His Highness said that as long as you sever ties with Huo Chang'an and acknowledge His Highness as your master, you will still be the Lion King, second only to the emperor!"

Otherwise, I'll turn you into a braised lion's head meatball!

Yan Meng: "..."

Leaning against a big tree, he scratched the ends of his hair that had been blown into a frizzy mess, and angrily exhaled a puff of smoke from his nose.

Who on earth gave him that name? He hates lions!

I hate lion's head meatballs even more!

He gestured a few times towards the spot where his brothers were hiding.

He shouted loudly, "Liu Su! Let me tell you, as long as you sever ties with Hongkang and call me grandpa, you'll still be my good grandson!"

After shouting, he rolled on the spot and rolled more than ten meters away.

Where he had just been standing, a thunderclap rang out, and the large tree was blasted black.

At the same time, screams came from the other side.

The brothers also killed the grenade thrower.

Liu Su shouted again, "Yan Meng! We have plenty of thunderbolts. Don't be ungrateful. Anyone can become a general with thunderbolts. We recruited you only because our prince values talent!"

They want to bomb him because they love talent? Don't believe a damn thing!

Yan Meng fell silent, as if he had fled.

"Yan Meng!"

After repeatedly calling out without response, Liu Su turned around and glanced back.

From the group of soldiers behind him, a man dressed as an ordinary soldier gestured to him.

Liu Su had no choice but to order: "Go in and take a look!"

I had only taken a few steps forward when I suddenly heard a noise above my head.

A cold light shot straight up to his head.

Huo Chang'an's chilling, murderous face became the last image he saw.

And that contemptuous remark:

"A dog is a dog; even with a thunderbolt, it won't become a lion!"

Hongkang was furious at losing another ally.

"Bomb them! Kill them all! Charge in!"

They're all useless; hundreds of people can't even handle a few.

We cannot let them go. We must make them die in southern Xinjiang, no matter the cost!

"Bring over all the remaining thunderbolts and blast them to pieces for me!"

Countless people rushed into the forest.

"Brother Meng!"

Shin-Shufu and the others, who should have already run back, are back.

Before Yan Meng could ask, Huo Jiangchu and Chi Man solemnly explained, "My lord, Brother Meng, we can't go back. That area is full of Hongkang's people too."

Attacking from both sides, they were determined to trap them in the forest and kill them.

As they walked through these mountains, they also learned about the terrain.

To the west and north is the southern border, and to the east is Sichuan and Chongqing.

To the south is the Mekong River.

There is no way to go.

"Climb the tree!" Yan Meng immediately came up with a solution.

“Hongkang wants to capture me and our lord. Leave the brothers who can swim with us, you all climb the trees and hide. Once they've passed, continue your journey from Bashu!”

"This is the only way!" Huo Chang'an said.

"Dressing up as Bashu people shouldn't attract attention. As long as you get out, you can bring people to rescue us."

"And what about you guys?" Shin-Snow asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, we'll go to the Meihe River! The waters there are vast, and the search will take some effort. Jiang Chu will know what to do once she gets out," Yan Meng reassured her.

There are still 10,000 troops in Nanzhai. Huo Jiangchu's task is to lead these 10,000 troops to detour through Lingnan, which is beyond Dongyang and mostly consists of uninhabited islands.

If they can disembark from the Mekong River and travel further south, they might be able to reunite with them.

Having made the plan, taking advantage of the swirling smoke, Yan Meng ordered his men to disperse and climb the trees.

He led the new Snowflake up the dense, towering tree.

"Brother Meng, you'll come back, right?"

The two were now tightly embracing, and the woman did not resist him at all. Instead, she held him tightly from behind, her eyes filled with worry.

"Of course. May I use a swear word now?"

"You said."

"me……"

Looking into Xin Xuefu's soft and innocent eyes, Yan Meng didn't say the words, "I want to sleep with you every day."

Instead, he expressed his roughness and strength through his words.

How could he not come back?

His good days haven't even begun yet!

Even if you fall into the abyss, you have to climb out.

This time, it wasn't just a simple crushing victory; he actually felt a response.

At first, I was unfamiliar with the process, but later I learned from him.

A surge of ecstasy welled up in his mind, and the man became even more ferocious, as if he wanted to tear the person apart and devour them.

"Brother Meng...you have to come back...you absolutely have to come back."

"Go back!" he answered firmly and resolutely.

Then, he stuffed a thunderbolt into her arms.

He caught that one; he threw the others back, leaving only this one.

I was planning to find an opportunity to bomb Hongkang.

"Wait for me to come back and marry you!"

He pulled away and jumped down.

Huo Jiangchu looked at Yan Meng with a complicated expression.

He suddenly realized something.

Perhaps, the sister-in-law never loved the eldest brother at all.

No, it should be that I loved him.

At the beginning of their marriage, her eyes shone with light. Although she was easily shy, the way she looked at her elder brother was truly affectionate.

Later, all that remained was gentleness and tranquility.

But her relationship with Meng Ge is different.

Her eyes held a raw and passionate emotion.

Meng Ge hugged her in front of so many people, but she wasn't startled, nor did she push him away.

Her gaze followed Meng Ge's direction, unafraid of anyone else's stares.

Previously, she always kept her head down in the Huo family.

Ultimately, it was they who had let their sister-in-law down in the past.

"Brother Meng, don't worry, I will protect your sister-in-law with my life."

You must all take care!

Huo Jiang climbed the tree in two quick movements on the third day of the third lunar month.

Yan Meng and Huo Chang'an, along with dozens of their brothers, left trails as they ran towards the Meihe River.

Soon, a group of soldiers chased after them from below.

Until there was no further movement.

Xin Xuefu and the others climbed down from the tree and ran towards Bashu.

Just as we were about to leave the woods, a sound like muffled thunder came from a great distance.

One sound after another.

There were only a few people, was it really necessary to throw so much trash?

Tears welled up in Shin-Snow's eyes.

"Sister-in-law, hurry up. They'll be fine. The thunderous explosions mean no one was hit."

Yes, it is so.

They ran out of the woods.

At this moment, Hong Kang was indeed furious.

Huo Chang'an and his group jumped into the Mei River and threw a bunch of thunderbolts, which brought many people ashore, but Huo Chang'an and Yan Meng were nowhere to be seen.

"Explode! Explode again!"

"Your Highness, the Thunderclap Bomb is gone!"

"If we run out, we'll make more! Make a thousand, make ten thousand! We'll walk along the riverbank. I refuse to believe that even mudfish can be blown up, we still can't blow up two living people!"

"Your Highness, we can't make it anymore. The two craftsmen who were making the thunderbolt were too careless and blew themselves up!"

what?

What two idiots!

But it's okay, he kept the recipe safe.

We just need to find two more people to do it.

Hongkang pulled out a tightly wrapped piece of paper from his pocket.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from the river, grabbed his ankle, and pulled him down.

By the time the soldiers rescued the man, the prescription paper had long since been swept away by the river.

"It's alright, I'll remember it!"

"What was it...what was it...?"

What is it?

"what exactly is it?"
