    ?

    "Phosphor powder? How come? Everything here will be inspected." Jiang Li bent over, took out a cannonball from the bag, pulled out the fuse, poured out the black powder inside, took some and put it in the  Sniff.

    It really has phosphorous powder!

    "You said that everything that comes in here will be inspected, so these are the problems after coming in." Chu Yao stood up straight, took off the top shell bag and opened it.

    Jiang Li then checked the shells one by one, checked several belts, and found that some were there and some were not.

    "We are here today and it wasn't originally planned. The traitor may have panicked and didn't plug the fuse properly, so he leaked out." Chu Yao patted his gunpowder-stick hand and walked from the gunpowder room to the grain and grass room.

    "When the grain and grass arrive in the army, they will be tested by the livestock first, and the grain and grass should not be poisoned." Jiang Li saw her hesitation and said to her.

    "There is no problem with food and grass, and weapons are not easy to make a fuss about, that is, there are medicinal herbs." Chu Yao strode towards the medicinal materials area.

    She read dozens of medical techniques in Yexia Valley for half a month. Although most of them couldn't understand, she could still recognize some common sword wound medicines. She also checked the medicinal materials one by one, and found no problems.

    "When was the last time you shipped gunpowder out?" Chu Yao asked eagerly.

    "Last night." Because the underground palace is secret, they all act at night.  The battle is imminent, gunpowder, food and grass, etc., were shipped in sufficient quantities yesterday.

    It is now the end of the day, and the war is expected to start around Haishi, which is only half a day away. Not only must Rong Shaoyang be notified, but also find a way to bring these artillery back to normal. After the Yan army is besieged, the key is to look at the firepower.

    Chuyao's eyebrows were already furrowed like a hill, and she closed her eyes in agitation, full of anxiety, the more she was like this, the more she couldn't think of a way out.

    She couldn't help pacing in the narrow compartment, and accidentally bumped into the medicine bag. Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in her mind, and she anxiously rummaged through the medicine bag. She didn't relax until she saw the gunpowder with the alum.  .

    "You go and inform him that there is a problem with the gunpowder. Before Haishi, we will get a new batch to be shipped over, and you have all the guards come here." Chu Yao sternly said to Jiang while searching for the gunpowder in the medicinal materials.  .

    Jiang Li had seen Yezhou's defense of the city with his own eyes, so he could trust Chuyao. After hearing her order, he quickly turned around and went out, notified Rong Shaoyang of the news with his dark eyes, and then turned around and told everyone in the underground palace.  The guards were called.

    Chu Yao picked out all the fire nitrate from the medicinal materials, and then the guards added some fire nitrate to each shell.

    Phosphorus powder will weaken the power of gunpowder, so she adds excess fire nitrate to reduce its effectiveness.

    More than a dozen people obeyed Chuyao's order, and added fire nitrate to the shells according to her instructions. It took about an hour for hundreds of bags of shells, and the speed was very fast.

    After loading the shells, he moved the bags out of the underground palace, and urgently summoned the officers and soldiers of the Hangzhi County Government to send them to Khenpo.

    After finishing all this, Chuyao was too tired to get up against the wall, but there was still one thing that remained unsolved, who was the traitor who added phosphorous powder?

    "You said that these guards were all trained and raised in Li Guo, do you know each of them?" Chu Yao looked up at Jiang Li and asked.

    "Because the responsibilities are different, they are not trained in one place. In order to strictly keep the secrets, the guards here are all born dumb." Jiang Li frowned: "The ones who can come here are all carefully selected."

    "What about the changing of the guard? And have they always been wearing black gauze and iron masks?" They all covered their masks with only two eyes and mouths exposed, even if the changing of the guard was changed, they would not know.

    "Because I don't want them to get to know each other well, so their veils are not allowed to be removed." Hearing Chuyao's doubts, Jiang Li frowned, pursed his lips and said, "These guards are all strong in martial arts, and they are all very good at each other.  There are codes, and it is not easy to change one of them."

    "The more difficult it is, the more no one can think of it." After a short break, Chuyao stood up, and said sharply to Jiang, "You said there was a secret between them, what kind of secret."

    "It's a gesture, used when handing over posts."

    Chuyao patted the dust on his body, walked out of the compartment of the medicine room, and asked Jiang Li to recruit them together.

    Fifteen of them stood in a row, Chuyao slowly paced over, and said, "There is a traitor among you, in order to find out, I wrong you and tie your hands behind your back first."

    Under Chuyao's order, Jiang Li tied fifteen people behind them with their hands behind their backs.

    "Miss Song, tie it up." Jiang Li walked back to her and said, he wondered what she was going to do.

    ? Chu Yao paced behind them, fromHe took out a silver needle from his sleeve, and said slowly: "Everyone is unable to speak because of taking the medicine powder. I heard that after taking this medicine powder, some acupoints will be very sensitive, and the silver needles will be very painful. In order to find out  Spy, I can only offend first, and if I can endure the pain without speaking out, I can prove my innocence."

    As she spoke, Chuyao turned one of them back, with her back facing them in a row, and she stuck the silver needle in her hand somewhere in his neck, but she didn't hear a sound.

    "No problem, Jiang Li, help him untie it." Chu Yao pulled out the silver needle and instructed Jiang Li.

    Then five in a row, they all untied the rope safely in this way.

    The sixth one, Chuyao stuck the silver needle into the acupuncture point as usual, looked up into his eyes, seemed to be in great pain, but also didn't make any sound.

    Chu Yao took two steps back and shouted to Jiang Li: "It's him!"

    Jiang Li slammed the wind quickly, the man in black obviously didn't expect to be seen through, and broke the rope with his internal force, he turned over and jumped out of the way, jumped in front of Chuyao, stretched out his arms and grabbed Chuyao to block him in front of his chest  .

    The rest of the black-clothed guards shook off the rope one after another, and a dozen people surrounded them.

    "How do you know, I didn't show my feet." A familiar and deep voice sounded from behind my ears.

    Chuyao was shocked, it turned out to be Duan Hekang!

    After the battle between Yan and Meng, Duan Hekang, who had disappeared without a trace, appeared here.

    "It's because you pretended so well. In fact, you don't feel pain at all when the acupuncture point is pierced." Chu Yao clenched his palms tightly, and leaned back to make the choked throat feel better.

    It is clearly a painless acupoint, but he showed a painful expression. This is not because there is a ghost in his heart. Naturally, she made up such things as medicine and poison, and the purpose was just to test.  Show pain when not in pain.

    "Song Chuyao, you're getting smarter, but don't you know that smart people usually don't end well?" As he spoke, he tightened Chuyao's throat, Duan Hekang said to the guards surrounding him: "  Everyone back away, otherwise I can't guarantee what will happen to her."

    He strangled Chuyao's neck and walked outside step by step. The guards were pushed back step by step.  Even if they didn't know Chuyao's identity very well, they knew that her identity must be extraordinary when they saw Jiang Li protecting her and obeying orders.

    Chuyao was forced to move forward, and seeing that she was about to exit the exit of the underground palace, she frowned and clenched the silver needle in her hand.

    "Let me go, I'll let them let you go." Chu Yao tried to divert his attention.

    "Do you think I will believe it? Song Chuyao, you are too naive." Duan Hekang increased his strength, and Chuyao was almost pinched.

    Chuyao slipped the silver needle in her hand out between her fingers. In those days, she read medical books that recorded diagrams of various acupoints on the human body. She roughly memorized which acupoints were left and right.

    "Duan Hekang, it's just a burden if you tie me up and go out together, and they won't let you go." Chu Yao quietly moved his hand to his waist.

    Jiang Li noticed Chuyao's movement, understood it, and said, "If you let Miss Song go, I can guarantee that you will leave safely. Miss Song's life is more valuable to us than yours. You can do that."  rest assured."

    When Duan Hekang saw Jiang Li suddenly slackening his steps, Chu Yao took advantage of the slight slack in the strength of his hand, and quickly stabbed the silver needle in his hand towards the acupuncture point on his waist.  This acupuncture point will cause a momentary numbness in the arm. Chu Yao slammed back, knocked Duan Hekang away, and broke free from his confinement.

    At this moment, Jiang Li drew out the soft sword in his waist, jumped forward, and pointed directly at Duan Hekang's throat. Duan Hekang's arm was still numb, but he couldn't dodge, his pupils were wide open, and he saw the point of the sword piercing his neck  .

    Before Chuyao could cry out to stay alive, Duan Hekang had already opened his eyes wide and fell limply to the ground.

    Jiang Li withdrew the sword in his hand, wiped it with a coarse kerchief, put the soft sword back and hid it in his belt, and walked to Chuyao's side.

    "Bury him." Chu Yao sighed softly, turned his back and walked into the underground palace.
