Chapter 814: The Weapon Bureau exploded

~8 min read 1,474 words

What to use for a scabbard?

Not using gold, silver, jade, or stone, he just used tree vines and bamboo strips, weaving them manually. After three days, countless reworks, he finally produced a scabbard that was not exquisite, not valuable, but simple, sturdy, durable, and intentional.

"Actually, it's just ugly!"

Seeing Qi Wuxiu returned from a business trip.

He was fatter and whiter.

Chen Guanlou suspected the other party wasn't on a business trip, but had gone out to corrupt himself under the guise of a business trip.

"You have no aesthetics!" He was particularly disgusted.

What is called ugly?

It is clearly simple, generous, unique, and has personality.

Seeing Qi Wuxiu sneered, standing far away. "Hurry up and put your knife into the scabbard. Where did you find the knife, it's too fierce!"

"Is it really that fierce?"

"Fierce appearance exposed! I was ten steps away, and my blood and energy were still churning. Incredible, you can actually control it! Not worthy of being a Ninth Rank cultivation."

Chen Guanlou put Xiao Zhan into the scabbard.

Instantly...

The fierce and evil aura that made Seeing Qi Wuxiu feel very uncomfortable disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

He was very surprised. "Such an ordinary scabbard can actually seal this knife?"

"You don't understand! Xiao Zhan recognizes its master. I made the scabbard for it with my own hands, so of course, I can seal its fierce and evil aura."

Chen Guanlou was also prepared to refurbish the handle of Xiao Zhan, still using tree vines as the main material. It had a better feel, and he added other materials appropriately.

Seeing Qi Wuxiu wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I came to visit you, brother, as soon as I returned. As a result, you welcomed me with a fierce knife, almost scaring me to death."

"You were lucky to catch up. Was this trip of yours a business trip, or did you go to be carefree? White and fat, are you preparing to marry a wife?"

"Hehe..."

"Are you really marrying a wife? Which girl's family?"

"The elders in the clan acted as matchmakers, I saw her, very standard."

"You kid has good fortune. When is the wedding wine?"

"End of the year! Getting married at the end of the year! You must come."

"I will definitely be there, and I will give you a big red envelope." Chen Guanlou was happy for his brother and asked if the other party had made a fortune.

"A little small fortune, compared to you, it's not worth mentioning!"

"Congratulations!"

Making a fortune is a great happy event, plus getting married soon, it is indeed a good omen, very prosperous this year, next year, and every year!

Spending money to have a nearby restaurant prepare a table of wine and dishes to be delivered, the two of them ate and drank in the courtyard, chatting about family matters.

When the moon was in the middle of the sky, a earth-shattering roar suddenly shocked the whole capital, waking everyone up!

Looking in the direction of the sound.

"That side is the old graveyard!"

Seeing Qi Wuxiu is a capital expert, identifying the address at a glance.

"What is there on the old graveyard side?" Chen Guanlou asked him.

Seeing Qi Wuxiu licked his lips, looking very terrified. "There is a Weapon Bureau over there!"

The two looked at each other, both thinking of an extremely terrible consequence. Just as they hesitated, another deafening roar came, which could be called earth-shaking.

No mistake!

This is an explosion!

More fierce and terrible than the explosion case of the altar back then, an explosion of larger scale. Thinking of the Weapon Bureau at the explosion site, one doesn't need to think with the brain; just guessing with the toes, one can think of countless conspiracies.

If there was hesitation at first, at this moment, both of them made a decision, picked up their clothes, and rushed to the old graveyard.

They were not the first batch of people to arrive.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the officials of the nearby government offices on duty all arrived at the scene of the accident in the first time.

The soaring fire, black smoke covering the whole night, as if the whole capital was swallowed by black smoke.

Crackling, the hot weather, plus the flammable wooden houses, burning as if to burn a hole in the sky. Getting slightly closer, the hot breath rushed toward them, and the skin and flesh were about to be scorched!

"Is it the Weapon Bureau?"

"It is the Weapon Bureau!"

The Weapon Bureau exploded!

Exploded magnificently, exploded earth-shakingly, exploded heaven-turning and earth-flippingly.

Boom!

Just as everyone was looking at the soaring fire and didn't know what to do, another explosion came from the innermost part. Fortunately, the scale of this explosion was obviously much smaller, only giving everyone present a fright.

The soaring fire, can't be saved!

Manpower is ultimately limited.

Can only dig fire-isolation belts, so that the fire cannot spread.

The imperial court does things, nothing else, just many people. In a short time, a batch of miscellaneous laborers and commoners were mobilized to dig fire-isolation belts according to the requirements.

Seeing Qi Wuxiu, as an Embroidered Uniform Guard, also went to help maintain order.

Chen Guanlou:...

He spent money to have food and water transported, as well as ice cubes for cooling.

In such hot weather, with such high-intensity labor, counting on the government office to arrange logistics, people would be roasted and starved to death.

By dawn, the fire was finally controlled, leaving only some sporadic burning places.

The entire Weapon Bureau was reduced to ashes, leaving only broken walls and ruins.

How many people died, it is not clear yet.

Although the fire was controlled, the temperature was still very high, and no one could step into the scene to check, so they could only wait, wait for a day or even two days, before they could check comprehensively.

People from the palace had been supervising the scene since the fire started. By morning, that complexion was as black as the broken walls and ruins at the scene, pitch black and still smoking.

Die!

This time, many people will definitely die!

Who exactly dies? Die the poor way or die the friend way... Everyone had an answer in their heart, and had already made a choice.

Chen Guanlou returned home, changed his dusty clothes, washed up, and went to the Heavenly Prison early to serve.

Many people still didn't know about the explosion and fire at the Weapon Bureau.

He gathered the prison guards together, announced the matter, and required everyone to strictly observe the rules recently and go out less to mess around.

"The explosion at the Weapon Bureau is still under investigation. Barring accidents, there will be martial law immediately, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard will arrest people on a large scale. If you don't want to go to the Imperial Prison for a trip, just honestly stay, either serve in the Heavenly Prison or squat at home. Whoever can't think straight and wants to go to the Imperial Prison for a trip, I won't stop you. At that time, don't count on anyone to fish you out. I will tell you directly, killing you doesn't even need to be reported, doesn't need to go through the hall, just kill if you want to kill. That's right, as a prison guard, life is just so cheap!"

Chen Guanlou's words were very ugly, but they were the truth.

The life of a prison guard is sometimes even lower than that of ordinary people.

Killing an ordinary person might still need to go through the hall and walk through a procedure.

Killing a prison guard, just kill if you want to kill, and no one will pursue it afterward. Just say they committed a crime, the family members have no courage to get to the bottom of it, and can only recognize their fate! If they don't recognize their fate, they have to be prepared to die the whole family!

All the prison guards were nervous and scared, individual people gave birth to rebellious hearts, cursing and screaming about unfairness.

Chen Guanlou gave a shout, suppressing everyone's voice.

He roared: "I am not joking with you. The explosion at the Weapon Bureau can be big or small, how the situation will develop, we as bottom-level personnel don't know. The only thing we can do is honestly serve. As long as you are in the Heavenly Prison, I will protect your safety. Gambling, all be restrained recently. I don't care about the filth you have in private, but whoever dares to make it public, I will clean up whoever. Meeting adjourned!" ===== CHAPTER 815 =====
