Chapter 249: Explosive Pole and Thunderbolt
Chapter 249 Exploding Pole and Shocking Thunder
At the end of the palace banquet, Li Shimin was too drunk to walk, so he insisted on Qin Lang helping him back. The Supreme Emperor Li Yuan had officially moved out of Taiji Palace a few days ago, and moved to Hongyi Palace where Li Shimin used to live.
I didn't even have time to renovate, so I hurried in.
Li Shimin lived in his father's palace, living in Liangyi Hall, and felt that he was really the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Prince Chengqian finally became the master of the East Palace.
In the Hall of Liangyi, the eldest grandson of the empress watched the crown prince Chengqian lead the way, and Qin Lang came in with the emperor behind his back, and was startled.
"His Majesty was happy for a while, and drank two more glasses, and he was a little overwhelmed."
Li Shimin shook his head, "I'm not drunk, I can still drink, come again!"
Empress Changsun was helpless.
The emperor fell asleep on the couch and fell asleep.
"His Majesty hasn't been this happy and relaxed for a long time, and it's been a long time since he slept so deeply."
"Your Majesty has too much to do with state affairs. You have to know how to combine work with rest and take a proper rest. Otherwise, you will be exhausted and you will regret it later." Qin Lang persuaded.
Qin Lang wanted to leave after speaking, but Li Zhi came in wiping her tears.
"Brother Sanlang, help me!"
"What's wrong?"
"They bullied me!"
Li Lizhi pointed to Li You and other brothers in the corridor, and after asking, she found out that these little guys were playing with explosive poles just now, and they even gambled money. This guy was led by Li You .
Li Lizhi lost the money, so she burst into tears.
"It's just a few dollars."
"That's the lucky money I got last night." Li Lizhi cried.
Empress Changsun asked Li You to return the money to Li Zhi, but Li You refused, and said she was willing to gamble and lose.
But because this money is Li Lizhi's new year's money, it is not ordinary. This is not an ordinary Kaiyuan Tongbao, but a batch of new year's money specially minted by the money casting supervisor. Words, this is Li Lizhi's exclusive new year's money.
"Brother Sanlang, I don't want him to pay me back, you win me."
"You must burn a louder explosion rod!"
Over there, Li You said proudly, "I'm not afraid when the bachelor comes, my explosive pole is unmatched by anyone."
The little fat man over there also lost just now, and now he said unconvinced, "He cheated, he added something to his explosive pole, and I found out."
Just now, the brothers and sisters were instigated by Li You to gamble money, and then they showed their power and won all the brothers and sisters. Li Ke and the others only thought that they were unlucky. Who knew that Li Tai observed carefully and found the problem.
Without further ado, Li Tai snatched an explosive pole from Li You and gave it to Qin Lang.
"Bachelor, look!"
Qin Lang observed carefully, and found that his explosive pole had long arms, and the bamboo joint in the middle had actually been opened, only one end was not connected, and the other end was stuffed with a cloth strip.
Open it, and white powder flows out.
Smell it, it's nitrate.
This Li You is really a genius. He even knows how to change natural firecrackers into salted firecrackers.
"You cheated!"
Brothers Li Tai and Li Ke accused Li You unconvinced, but Li You was able to say triumphantly, "What did I do wrong, didn't I explode the pole? If you have the ability, you can also make such an explosive pole?" "
Now Li Tai was so angry that he was dying, but there was nothing he could do.
They didn't even recognize the added nitrate inside, so naturally they couldn't imitate the modification.
Qin Lang looked at Li Lizhi who was wiping away tears, chuckled, and comforted her, "Princess, don't worry, I'll be stronger than King Qi right away, and I'll definitely beat him in a while!"
Li You was still proud there, "Impossible, no one can beat me."
"Isn't this just adding nitrate?"
Li You panicked when he saw that Qin Lang recognized the material he had added.
"how do you know?"
"It's so difficult."
Qin Lang asked Lizhi to give him the rest of the explosive pole.
Li You refused to do it anymore.
"You can't imitate me, I bought this secret explosion pole for ten thousand dollars."
"Where did you get it?"
"One of my servants bought it for me outside."
"King Qi, you've been fooled. It's so expensive at noon, ten cents a piece is expensive, but you spend ten thousand."
"Impossible, you bragging!"
Qin Lang smiled.
He directly found a knife and chopped off a section of the explosive pole, "Do you believe that, with only this section, I can defeat your secret explosive pole!"
"Impossible, how can I win many quarters in one quarter!"
"I beat you by many knots in one knot."
"impossible."
"Bet?"
"Just bet."
"Just bet you won everyone's New Year's money just now. If I win, you will hand it all over."
"Then you lost?"
"I lost, give King Qi 100,000 yuan!"
"good!"
Li You shouted excitedly, "Let's start now, start the fire!"
"Don't worry, I still need to add some ingredients."
Li You’s explosive rod is made with nitrate. After burning it on the fire, it can indeed make the bamboo rod explode louder, but Qin Lang has gunpowder to explode the rod.
In the palace there is the Bureau of Medicine and the Bureau of Food, all of which are in charge of medicines, and nitrate and sulfur are medicinal materials, and some are coming easily, but Qin Lang deliberately asked for several more medicinal materials in order to deceive people.
Anyway, it’s just a big firecracker, and it doesn’t matter if you add a little less other materials.
I took some leftover bamboo charcoal directly from the fire.
Qin Lang took the ingredients and ground them into powder, and mixed them according to the approximate ratio. In fact, Qin Lang only knew that black gunpowder was made of nitrate, charcoal, and sulfur, but he didn't know the exact ratio. He vaguely remembered it from a junior high school textbook. It said more nitrate and less charcoal.
So he prepared a mixture of charcoal, disulfide and seven nitrates, and then mixed some medicinal powders such as pepper powder, cumin powder, licorice powder, etc., and finally put a spoonful into the bamboo joint, which still had a lot of space. Then I stuffed some paper, and finally blocked the opening. There was no suitable fuse, so I twisted a lead wire with paper. In short, I tried to make do with it.
When this explosive pole was presented in front of everyone, Li You had a look of disbelief.
Already eager to accept Qin Lang's one hundred thousand dollars.
"Who will come first?" Qin Lang asked with a smile.
Li Youdao, "I'll come first."
He put the modified nitrate explosion rod on the fire and roasted it. After a while, the explosion rod was already burning, and the surface was sweating.
Chengqian and the others hurriedly backed away, and the next moment, the explosive pole exploded with a bang.
It was quite loud, but only a little louder than ordinary bamboo poles.
"it's your turn!"
Li You was triumphant.
Qin Lang stepped forward holding the short piece of gunpowder and firecracker, "You all disperse."
Chengqian stepped back a little.
Li Tai did not retreat, he saw Qin Lang added a lot of materials in it just now, so he wanted to see how powerful this thing is.
Qin Lang originally wanted to stick the firecrackers on the ground to ignite, but the paper fuses failed after a few ignitions, and the wind blew them out after a while.
"Is it okay?" Li You mocked.
Qin Lang was helpless, "How about I throw it into the fire too?"
"Then just throw it away." Li You urged.
Qin Lang looked at the pile of fire, and then at the brothers-in-law and sister-in-law next to him, "It will be very loud, very loud, and may even blow up these charcoal fires. Move back, at least twenty steps away!"
"Is that an exaggeration? Don't dawdle!"
Li You urged.
Qin Lang insisted that they take twenty steps back, and in the end they reluctantly backed away.
Qin Lang saw that everyone retreated, so he threw the gunpowder and firecrackers in his hand into the fire, and then quickly retreated.
"Everyone cover your ears!"
Li You showed disdain.
Qin Lang walked to the side of Chang Le, and stretched out his hand to cover her.
Gunpowder and firecrackers were thrown into the fire, but there was no sound.
Li You taunted, "Why are you silent, dumb!"
As he spoke, he still wanted to go forward.
Qin Lang hurriedly shouted, "Don't go there!" Although he didn't know if he failed, it's better to stay away from this thing.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was only a thunder on the ground, and the rumble was like a thunderbolt, and then the pile of firewood was blown up and flew around.
Li You originally wanted to go and have a look, but unexpectedly, there was a ringing sound just two steps away, and he was so shocked that he sat on the ground directly, his face turned pale.
The flying charcoal fire fell from the sky and scattered around, forming patches of black charcoal on the white snow, which was very obvious.
Wei Wang Li Tai also sat on the ground, staring blankly at the scene, unable to utter a sound for a long time.
Li Shimin rushed over barefoot with a sword in his clothes and disheveled.
"Bold rebel, dare to break into the palace and assassinate!"
Empress Changsun and a group of servants and court ladies also rushed over.
Farther away, the guards on duty at the palace gate came rushing.
That loud noise, like thunder, blasted them all out.
Princess Changle came back to her senses, and hurriedly shouted to the red-eyed Li Shimin, "Father, it's Saburo, Saburo..."
Li Shimin seemed to have not woken up yet, and he was drunk again. His eyes widened, and he rushed towards Qin Lang with his sword in hand, "Rebel, take your life!"
"Father, it is Saburo who is burning the pole!"
·······
Li Shimin's footsteps slowly slowed down, "Exploding the pole?"
The prince also hurried forward to stop his father.
"Father, just now Saburo fired a firecracker."
"Nonsense, what can make such a noise?"
Everyone rushed over, and Empress Changsun put on a coat for Li Shimin.
·······
Half an hour later, Qin Lang handed over the newly prepared ten explosive poles to the Qianniu guards.
Li Shimin was drunk, he was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and his eyes were piercing.
In front of the temple, a fire was burning.
Qianniu bodyguard Chai Lingwu approached with a blasting pole.
"If you throw it away, get back quickly and keep your distance." Qin Lang shouted to Chai Lingwu beside the emperor.
Chai Lingwu walked to the fire, picked up the explosive rod and threw it into the fire, and did not retreat immediately.
"Back, fast back."
Qin Lang shouted.
Chai Lingwu took two steps back, only five or six steps away from the fire, Qin Lang was still shouting, but he turned a deaf ear.
There was a loud bang, and the firecrackers exploded.
With no extra ingredients, this time the explosion is even louder.
Firewood fried all over the sky.
After the sound of pleasant surprise, Chai Lingwu stood there in a panic. His Wubian cap was blown off, his hair was messed up, his face was blackened, and Qianniuwei's robe was burned with charcoal fire. .
Li Shimin stood up abruptly.
He trembled with excitement.
"Tianlei, Tianlei, this... this..." The emperor was so excited that he couldn't speak.
