Chapter 76 Explosion
"Who's there? Catch him!"

The spies looked in the direction the golden pig pointed, and saw a dark face poking out from behind the roof of a restaurant, secretly spying on Red Dress Lane.

A spy was suddenly startled: "Is it a human or a ghost?!"

The Golden Pig looked at the traces on the building with a smile: "Play tricks, surround him for me!"

The Secret Service had come up empty-handed tonight. The Golden Pig had a smile on his face, but he was furious in his heart. If the other zodiac signs knew that there was an undercover spy from the Jing Dynasty among him, they would definitely laugh their heads off.

The next moment, Chen Ji watched helplessly as dozens of secret agents surrounded him, sealing off the restaurant where he was.

Some people were climbing up the outer wall, while Chen Ji lifted up tiles and threw them down, smashing the heads of the spies who were trying to climb up and causing them to bleed.

Another spy brought two long ladders and wanted to climb to the roof.

Chen Ji came to the ladder and tried to overturn the ladder and the spies on it. Every time the spies put up the ladder, he overturned it.

But there were too many spies, more and more ladders were brought in, and more and more people were climbing the stairs. He couldn't take care of it all by himself, and it was only a matter of time before he lost.

He was like guarding an isolated city, facing attacking troops from all directions.

At this time, Lin Chaoqing asked Jin Zhu slowly: "Do you need me, Jie Fanwei, to help? If Lord Jin Zhu's secret agents can't take him down, we, Jie Fanwei, can help you out. With so many eyes watching, if we can't even deal with a thief from Jing Dynasty, people will laugh at our Si Li Jian for having no one."

Jin Zhu smiled and said, "Don't bother Jie Fanwei to help. My Secret Service can do it myself."

After saying this, he took off his light armor and handed it to his subordinates, then went to arrest Chen Ji himself.

Chen Ji caught a glimpse of this scene and thought to himself that if Jin Zhu came upstairs to catch him personally, he would be doomed. He untied the cloth bundle on his back and took out two bamboo tubes from it!
The next moment, the golden pig was seen rushing towards the restaurant, each step covering a distance of several feet.

When it arrived in front of the building, the golden pig leaped up, and its fat body climbed up to the second floor like pulling up an onion in dry land.

He took advantage of the wooden railing on the second floor and flew directly onto the roof!

A great official like Jin Zhu can climb a building several meters high as if it were flat ground, and he has already transcended ordinary people.

However, just as he jumped onto the roof, he saw the dark figure opposite him, holding a fire stick in one hand and a bamboo tube in the other. The fuse on the bamboo tube had begun to burn.

But after Chen Ji lit the fire, he did not throw out the bamboo tube immediately. He waited patiently until the wick was almost burned out, and then threw it towards the golden pig that had just landed on the roof.

Lie down!
Chen Ji lay on the roof and covered his ears.

The golden pig, who had not yet stood firm, saw the bamboo tube flying towards him and subconsciously wanted to kick it away, but the bamboo tube suddenly exploded before it reached him!

With a loud bang, the golden pig raised his arms to protect his head, and the whole person was knocked away by the huge and powerful shock wave!
The sound was like a sudden thunderclap, and the flames of the explosion burned up the originally dark sky, as if a god had brought down his wrath, extremely strong and masculine.

Outside Red Lane, the thunder of the explosion echoed far away. At that moment, hundreds of guard dogs barked wildly, and the whole city of Los Angeles seemed to be awakened!

In Red Dress Alley, the clients and the singing girls were so frightened that their hair stood on end. Countless of them lay on the ground howling in fear.

Not only them, even Jie Fanwei's horses neighed in fear, and saw dozens of war horses raised high on the bluestone road, almost knocking Jie Fanwei to the ground.

The warhorse under Lin Chaoqing was about to raise its hoof, but was stopped abruptly by him.

The chief criminal commander looked solemn, raised his head and calmly looked up at the sky, his sharp eyes flashing under his bamboo hat. He saw the golden pig that had just climbed onto the roof, like a kite with a broken string, flying backwards and falling straight down from a height of several meters.

The sleeves of Jin Zhu's originally exquisite cross-collared and large-fronted robe were now torn to pieces, and his pants were half-missing. His whole body was in tatters, like a rag bag.

A spy exclaimed, "Save the master, don't let him fall to the ground!"

After that, more than a dozen spies rushed towards the landing point of the golden pig and caught him before he fell to the ground.

With a few snapping sounds, several spies felt their arms being dropped by the heavy golden pig, their arm bones were broken and their waists could not bear the weight!
A group of people fell down with a bang, but fortunately the golden pig did not fall on the bluestone road.

"grown ups?!"

"grown ups!"

These spies have followed Golden Pig for many years and have become as close as brothers.

Not to mention how cruel Jin Zhu was to Jing Chao's thieves, he was indeed very caring towards his subordinates and was very good at winning people's hearts. But now, Jin Zhu closed his eyes, his face was dark, and even his breathing stopped.

The spies were immediately filled with grief.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, why are you crying and howling? I'm not dead yet," Jin Zhu slowly opened his eyes and sat up, confused and bewildered: "How can this damn gunpowder be so powerful? The stuff in our workshop is not that powerful!"

Earlier, when Jin Zhu saw the bamboo tube and the gunpowder wick, he had already prepared himself mentally. He guessed that there must be gunpowder in the bamboo tube, and he would be injured if it exploded. But he never expected that the power of the firecracker would be much greater than he expected!

This thing is totally different from the gunpowder he had seen before!
Golden Pig looked down at his tattered clothes. He felt a burning pain all over his body, as if his bones were falling apart and his internal organs were displaced.

If it weren't for his high level of cultivation, he would have been blown to death on the spot.

Strange, could it be that someone in the Craftsmen's Supervisor developed something new but kept it secret and secretly sold it to the thieves in Jing Dynasty?
Oh no! If Jing Chao gets this thing, Ning Dynasty will be in danger!
Jin Zhu struggled to stand up and said, "Quick, quick, catch that man! If I let him escape under my nose, how can I have the face to go back and see the Prime Minister!"

However, when he looked up again, there was no trace of Chen Ji on the roof. He had already jumped to another rooftop and fled.

Lin Chaoqing glanced at him from his horse and said, "Master Jinzhu, you will surely have good fortune after surviving a disaster. But next time, if you are not absolutely sure, don't come to Mengjin Camp to transfer me to Jiefanwei. Go back to the camp!"

……

……

The Red Lane became quiet.

Jin Zhu sent out half of his spies, trying to track down the man in black clothes and black face... But he knew in his heart that it might not be easy to find him.

He led his confidants to the backyard of the restaurant and watched quietly as six of his men died in the yard.

"They are all knife wounds... Xifeng, you are best at using a knife, so check it out," Jinzhu said expressionlessly.

The secret agent named Xifeng squatted down, said sorry in his heart, and then stripped off all the clothes of his dead colleague.

The spy took some clean water to clean the wound on the corpse and observed carefully: "The other party used a short knife. The blade is a bit strange. It doesn't seem to be sharp. It doesn't even look like a knife specially used for killing people..."

"What kind of knife did you use?"

"Sir, there are too many types of knives. It seems that the assassin just picked up a knife and used it. The assassin's knife is extremely sharp and tricky. The wounds are all on the vital parts, very precise. The opponent is an experienced knife master. If he didn't practice hard for many years, it would be impossible to be so quick and decisive."

"And this man was very cautious. He knew that a single stab would not kill the victim immediately, so he would stab several more vital parts of the victim each time he killed them."

The spy gasped, "What a cruel thought."

Jin Zhu frowned and looked around. He suddenly looked at the long knives of the secret agents scattered on the ground: "Hey, why are all these knives broken?!"

The spy who was investigating stood up and looked, and was shocked to find that among the six knives in the yard, five were broken!
He picked up one of the broken pieces of the blade, found a matching handle, and put the two pieces together with both hands. Only then did everyone see an obvious gap where the long sword was broken.

The spy was a little incredulous: "Sir, these swords were cut off by one blow. The long swords used by my secret service are all made of hundred-forged steel. How could the other party just pick up a short sword and cut off our swords with one blow?"

The Golden Pig looked at the spy and said, "Have you ever seen this kind of swordsmanship?"

The spy shook his head: "I haven't seen him before, could it be Liang Gou'er?"

Jin Zhu sneered, "It's not Liang Gou'er. If Liang Gou'er was here, why would we bother to break their swords? Besides, Liang Gou'er's spine has been broken, so he doesn't dare to go against our Secret Service... Who could it be? Such a powerful swordsman can't just jump out of a crack in the stone, right?"

He stood in the quiet yard, looking at the bloodstains and corpses on the ground.

The other party killed six secret agents by himself, so he must be an official. But Jin Zhu had seen many officials, but not many with such exquisite swordsmanship.

Wait, isn't there a Si Cao who is good at using a short sword in the Jing Dynasty's Military Intelligence Department? !
Previously, Baohou led a team to capture the enemy in Jinling, but the enemy killed more than ten people and jumped into the Qinhuai River to escape. At that time, the Si Cao used a short knife!
The Golden Pig felt a burning pain all over his body, and countless iron scraps were embedded in his skin. Now every step he took was a torment, and his bones felt like they were falling apart.

Logically, he should have sought medical treatment as soon as possible, but when he thought of such powerful gunpowder falling into the hands of the Jing Dynasty villains and being used against the Ning Dynasty border troops in the future, he no longer cared about his injuries.

The Golden Pig said in a fierce voice: "Xifeng, take my badge and go to the Luocheng Military Command and ask them to seal all the gates of Luocheng. Dongfeng, go and intercept the Jiefan Guards and ask them to go to the Caoyun Wharf now and not allow any ships to leave within three days!"

He said gloomily, "Find him for me, even if I have to dig three feet into the ground and turn Luocheng upside down, I must find him for me!"
