Chapter 163

"Has Lord Su shown any unusual activity?"

"Reporting to Grand Commander, there is no unusual activity."

Hearing his subordinate's reply, Jiang Huan finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"It's just that Lord Su loves to eat; he was cooking until late last night."

Jiang Huan's expression froze.

"Cooking?"

"What did he cook?!"

The Embroidered Uniform Guard looked at Jiang Huan with a simple-minded expression.

"Caramelizing sugar. To be honest, Lord Su's skills are quite good; the black sesame paste he made looks appetizing."

Caramelizing sugar? Black sesame paste?!

Jiang Huan's heart immediately gave a "thud."

Looking at the small courtyard in the distance.

Jiang Huan could not afford to think further.

He kicked the door with a flying kick.

With a "Bang!"

Su Qiao's copper lock snapped off in response.

Jiang Huan, rushing into the small courtyard, took a single stride and charged into the kitchen.

Immediately, he saw the "black sesame powder" scattered on the ground by Su Qiao.

Dipping his index finger and smelling it at his nose, Jiang Huan's expression immediately changed.

"Is this how your family makes black sesame paste?"

"Tomorrow, I will get you a jar; if you cannot eat it, see how I deal with you!"

The several Embroidered Uniform Guards behind him suddenly turned deathly pale.

"It's bad, Grand Commander, what is Lord Su doing with this gunpowder? There isn't any at home!"

Jiang Huan suddenly snapped back to his senses, glanced around, and only then realized that besides the gunpowder scattered on the ground.

There was not a single trace of any other gunpowder.

In an instant.

He felt the world spinning.

"Where did Su Qiao go?! Where did he go?!"

"Where is the person? Didn't we arrange someone to watch him?!"

The two Embroidered Uniform Guards behind him hurriedly replied.

"Grand Commander, Lord Su went in the direction of entering the palace!"

Upon learning that Su Qiao had entered the palace, Jiang Huan's legs clearly began to go soft.

Entering the palace with gunpowder.

Except for assassinating the Emperor.

What else could it be?!

"Quick, quick, Su Qiao is going to assassinate the Emperor!"

Regardless of which Emperor Su Qiao intended to assassinate, Jiang Huan could not bear the responsibility!

The entire Embroidered Uniform Guard of the capital immediately rushed in haste toward the direction of the Forbidden City.

Meanwhile, Su Qiao gazed at the Jin Shuihe before him and slowly took out the explosives he had tucked inside his wide sleeve.

A full twenty jin.

Eunuchs passing by saw Su Qiao and did not forget to greet him.

"Lord Su, good morning."

"Is this the book the Crown Prince is to read today?"

Su Qiao only nodded and remained silent.

Several Eunuchs left one after another.

Seeing that no one was around.

Su Qiao then took out the explosive package in his hand and threw it toward the distant Zhu Hong palace wall.

The fuse on the back of the explosive package hissed "hiss, hiss."

And Su Qiao had already cunningly hidden behind the corner of the city wall.

Before Su Qiao could even catch his breath.

A deafening "Boom!!" echoed.

The entire garrison of the Forbidden City was shocked.

A large troop of soldiers and horses marched in great numbers toward the location of the explosion.

And Su Qiao naturally waited directly at the "crime scene."

Colluding with feudal kings late at night, then directly bombing the imperial palace at dawn.

This crime.

Is surely enough, isn't it?!

However, when Su Qiao walked to the "crime scene."

Su Qiao was shocked by the scene before his eyes.

He saw that the originally towering palace wall had been blown open by Su Qiao's explosive package into a terrifyingly large hole.

All of this was within Su Qiao's calculations.

But what truly surprised Su Qiao was that beneath this section of the palace wall lay not a foundation.

But a tunnel with no visible beginning or end!

Not only Su Qiao.

Even the generals of the surrounding Imperial Guard were stunned.

Good heavens.

The Emperor sleeps right on top of this tunnel every night?!

Anyone who sees this tunnel knows.

This is a big deal.

If Old Zhu gets angry.

It could trace all the way back to when the Great Ming first founded the empire and built the imperial palace!

Su Qiao hadn't expected that his explosion.

Would blow out something like this.

……

……

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

Early in the morning, Zhu Di came directly to the palace.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not come out to see Zhu Di.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude.

Zhu Di stopped pretending.

He knelt directly outside the Qianqing Palace and burst into loud weeping, crying purely without uttering a single word.

Zhu Yuanzhang inside the Qianqing Palace watched Zhu Di kneeling outside the hall.

His expression became unavoidably fluctuating between gloom and agitation.

Until that loud boom came.

The surrounding guards immediately rushed into the hall to protect Zhu Yuanzhang.

And Zhu Yuanzhang's expression unavoidably changed abruptly.

To make such a huge commotion under the layered protection of the Imperial Guard.

If not Su Qiao's new explosives.

What else could it be?!

He kicked open the palace doors of the hall and strode out from inside with the speed of a flying horse.
