Soul swap tyrant always wants to have a baby

Chapter 182 Jaw dropped

Tuoba Kui almost dropped his jaw in shock, looking at the scene in disbelief.

"Uncle, what do you think?"

Tuoba Kui said nothing, turned around, mounted his frightened horse, calmed it down, and then went closer to see the power of the firecrackers.

When I got closer, I saw that the ground was charred and a big hole was blown out by the firecracker.

He dismounted and squatted to check whether Lu Jinmin had done anything on the ground beforehand.

When he found nothing unusual, his eyes were filled with shock.

At this time, Lu Jinmin and Tuoba Jiangheng also followed.

"Uncle, how is it?"

"What is this?"

"This is gunpowder. Now, besides me, Nan Qiu, there are only the two boxes in your hands, uncle."

Tuoba Kui still couldn't quite believe that firecrackers could be so powerful.

Lu Jinmin saw his concerns, dismounted, took out a dagger from his boot, and cut the horse's neck cleanly.

The horse neighed a few times and fell to the ground soon.

The guard behind him brought another bundle of gunpowder and tied it to the horse.

"Uncle, let's stay away."

Tuoba Kui walked up and kicked the horse a few times to make sure it was a real horse and not made of paper, then he got on the horse and left.

After the group returned to their original positions, the guard lit the fuse.

After the fuse ignited the gunpowder, there was another loud bang, and the black pit was blown even bigger.

The horses in the pit were blown to pieces, and from a distance there was blood and flesh everywhere.

Tuoba Kui once again took the lead and rushed forward. The scene looked even bloodier from a closer distance.

But Tuoba Kui not only did not show a trace of fear, his eyes were full of desire and ambition.

"Hahaha, my dear nephew, you have really helped me a lot."

Lu Jinmin smiled in response, very satisfied with Tuoba Kui's reaction.

"As long as Uncle likes it."

"Okay, Ah Heng, you should entertain the Fifth Prince well. I still have things to do."

After saying this, he waved his hand and asked the guards around him to take away the remaining two boxes of gunpowder, and hurried back to the palace.

Here, Tuoba Kui excitedly found a few confidants to discuss the plan of continuing to attack Dongxia.

On the other side, Leng Qingyi is ready to take down Beidong in one fell swoop.

After several days of rest, the Dongxia army has recovered.

After another unprecedented victory, the morale of Dongxia's soldiers is now at an unprecedented high.

Everyone can't wait to do something big.

On the surface, the food and fodder prepared by the Dongxia Ministry of Revenue arrived at the military camp a few days before all the food and fodder in the camp was eaten up.

When the news of the great victory at the border reached the capital, the Minister of Revenue was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, the food and grass were transported out, otherwise the first thing the emperor would do when he returned to the court would be to chop off his head.

At the same time, he was extremely puzzled as to how the emperor's trip could go so smoothly.

What he didn't know was that the big obstacle that would trip up Leng Qingyi was still to come.

Tuoba Kui had just discussed the plan to attack Dongxia with his confidants, but he didn't expect that bad news would come from the border just one day later.

"Khan, urgent news has arrived from the border..."

Tuoba Kui, who was feeling smug and dreaming of conquering Dongxia and dominating the Central Plains, had no time to put away the smile on his face before he was shocked by the sudden news.

"What did you say? Say it again."

"Khan, the Emperor of Dongxia, Zhongli Yuan, led an army of over 100,000 to attack us. When the news reached us, General Hulun had already gone out to meet the enemy."

Tuoba Jin, who had just returned from the border, heard the news outside the palace and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

After asking his servant to report, he stepped back a few steps, waiting for Tuoba Kui's summons.

"Come here, take a box of magic weapons to the border, tell Hulun Shuo how to use them, and let him fight a victory for Beidong on behalf of his son."

"Yes."

Tuoba Kui's confidant went to do it immediately. When he came out, he saw Tuoba Jin waiting outside and paused for a moment before continuing to leave.

Tuoba Jin was standing in a very clever position, so that he could vaguely hear the conversations in the hall without being suspected of eavesdropping.

Tuoba Kui's voice was much louder because of his anger just now, and Tuoba Jin happened to hear every word he said clearly.

He wondered what the "magic weapon" was that made Tuoba Kui so confident that he could win the battle by sending the so-called magic weapon to Hulun Shuo.

Tuoba Kui was very angry at the time, and his servants did not dare to step forward to report.

So Tuoba Jin waited outside for a full hour before the servants told him that Tuoba Kui had returned.

"No, let him go back to where he came from."

The sound was very loud and Tuoba Jin heard it clearly.

A moment later, the servant came out and looked at him apologetically.

"Third Prince, the Khan understands that you are tired from traveling so he will let you go back and rest first."

He had no habit of making things difficult for his servants, so he nodded and turned to leave.

After turning around, his eyes suddenly sank.

Since Tuoba Kui didn't want to see him and told him to go back to where he came from, he naturally had to return to his residence in the royal court.

After returning to his residence, Tuoba Jin immediately asked someone to report to him the recent developments in the royal court.

Having not heard any news about the "magic weapon" mentioned by Tuoba Kui, Tuoba Jin specifically asked if Tuoba Kui had obtained any new weapons recently.

The man thought about it and shook his head.

Tuoba Jin was not disappointed. Something that Tuoba Kui called a magic weapon must have been kept extremely secret.

"Has he been behaving unusually lately?"

"Master, just after you left and brought back the news from the border, the leaders of those Xiongnu tribes came to ask for an explanation."

"The Khan had no intention of giving them anything, but the fifth prince of Nanqiu, Lu Jinmin, rushed in and waved his hand, giving each of their tribe twenty dan of grain per head and sent them away."

"Then the Khan went out with the Fifth and Seventh Princes of Nanqiu, and was very excited when he came back."

"The Khan has been in an unusual and extremely excited mood these past two days."

Tuoba Jin pondered the message in these words carefully.

"Why is the Fifth Prince of Nanqiu coming to the royal court?"

"It is said that he and the Seventh Prince were acquainted before, and he came here just for fun."

"Tuoba Jiangheng?"

"Yes."

Tuoba Jin thought about it carefully for a while.

He asked again, "Do you know what they did when they went out?"

"I don't know."

"Do you know where they went?"

"know."

Tuoba Jin went alone to check the location given by his men.

After walking to the approximate location, I saw the huge black pit at a glance.

He looked around several times and saw that there was no one around, so he dismounted and went forward to check the situation.

He happened to pass by this place when he was going to the border, and it is certain that there was no such a big pit in this place at that time.

He reached out, picked up a handful of black ash, and brought it under his nose to smell it.

The smell is somewhat familiar, like the smell of firecrackers during festivals in the Central Plains.

I walked around the big black pit a few more times and found a few new broken bones.
