Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 134 Explosion

"We can't stay here for long. We have to leave quickly."

Pei Xu frowned. He had expected ferocious beasts, so he brought muskets and caltrop fireballs, but he didn't expect there would be poisonous snakes.

"Your Majesty, this bear..."

Fuan pursed his lips. If others saw it, they would know at a glance that it was not killed with a sword. However, before he finished speaking, a group of snakes appeared around him.

Gu Jiaorong felt her scalp tingling as she looked at the densely packed poisonous snakes on the ground, but she didn't notice when these poisonous snakes appeared, and she quickly shifted her gaze elsewhere.

There was a dense patch of weeds not far away, not like the grass around them, but more like it grew near the water.

There are naturally no rivers, lakes, or seas around here, so there are only swamps...

Snakes like such dark and humid places.

"Burned them all."

Pei Xu responded coldly, having lost all his patience.

His features grew increasingly cold, and he held Gu Jiaorong tightly with his strong arms, refusing to let her go.

Others didn't know how frightened he was, but Gu Jiaorong, who was in his arms, knew that his hands were shaking.

The guard had just lit a fire and thrown it at the brown bear when Gu Jiaorong shouted, "Get out of the way!"

Pei Xu did not doubt Gu Jiaorong. He tiptoed and flew forward with Gu Jiaorong, followed closely by Fu'an. The guards did the same, stepping on the horse's back to fly away from the scene, and at the same time took Shaoyao and Chu Fenghua away.

As they landed, there was a loud bang behind them.

The huge brown bears, tigers, and snakes were blown to pieces, and even their horses were not spared. These things mixed together gave off an extremely unpleasant smell.

Gu Jiaorong's expression was ugly. She immediately covered her mouth and nose and refused to look at the ground. The expressions of others were not much better either.

"Let's get out of here first."

Pei Xu's face became uglier. He had not expected the explosion.

If Gu Jiaorong hadn't reminded them, they would have been seriously injured even if they didn't die. And at this moment, if they were bitten by the poisonous snake, they would have really died here.

Everyone knew the reason behind this, and they were still frightened when they saw the fire caused by the explosion behind them.

After leaving the fire scene——

"My Lord, shall we return to camp?"

Fuan asked carefully, he couldn't guess what his master was thinking now.

Pei Xu and Gu Jiaorong looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.

"Don't go back, find another way to leave."

Pei Xu said in a deep voice, since everyone wanted him dead, he would just go with the flow and make them think that he died in this murder and fire.

The fire broke out in the woods, and it would take some time to put it out. Even after it was put out, it would not be easy to find the remains. This time was enough for Pei Xu to do many things.

"Go straight back to the Firearms Camp."

Only by returning there can Pei Xu feel at ease.

Gu Jiaorong's body cannot withstand the stress. Even though the child is almost four months old now, Pei Xu cannot accept the possibility of any accident.

Moreover, if they wanted to fake their own deaths and escape, they would have to hide their whereabouts. Therefore, other places besides the Firearms Camp would not be advantageous for them.

In the Firearm Camp, Gu Jiaorong can rest assured and take care of her pregnancy, and it will be more convenient for him to return to the court.

This kills two birds with one stone!

Fu'an and others naturally had no objection, but Chu Fenghua raised a question weakly.

"Do we have to be carried back like this?"

Although he had the ability to protect himself, he was no match for the guards and only carried poison with him.

"If you're not used to it, they can carry you."

Pei Xu glanced at him indifferently, then left with Gu Jiaorong in his arms.

No matter how Chu Fenghua complained, he did not look back.

Fortunately, although the location of the Firearms Camp is hidden, it is not far from Beijing, which was originally designed for his convenience in traveling back and forth.

The stars were sparse and the moon was dim, and everyone entered the camp under the moonlight.

After a day of tossing and turning, Gu Jiaorong was exhausted and leaned against Pei Xu with a tired look on her face.

After Pei Xu settled her down, he asked Chu Fenghua to come and take her pulse.

"Auntie is fine, just a little tired."

Chu Fenghua knew how worried Pei Xu was about Gu Jiaorong, and also knew how important this child was.

"I'll prescribe two tranquilizing prescriptions for Auntie. Ask Miss Shaoyao to prepare them for Auntie tomorrow. Your Highness need not worry."

Chu Fenghua left after taking Gu Jiaorong's pulse, but she had no intention of sleeping.

She was so nervous as she ran all the way that she had no time to think about the explosion.

After finally reaching the Firearms Camp, she recalled the moment of the explosion.

At that time, she asked Pei Xu to leave only because she had some vague feelings about it, but in fact it was just because she was uneasy, not because she had really figured it out.

"Rong'er, go to sleep. We can think about it tomorrow."

Pei Xu had slept in the same bed with her for such a long time, so he naturally knew what she was thinking.

It’s just that too many things happened today, and he couldn’t bear to let Gu Jiaorong worry about it anymore.

Gu Jiaorong shook her head. "No, if I can't figure it out, I really can't sleep well."

If such an explosion happens once, there will be a second time.

At that time, Gu Jiaorong did not notice anything obviously abnormal, and everyone's attention was focused on the beasts and poisonous snakes.

There must be something wrong here.

Gu Jiaorong carefully recalled everything that happened in the forest. She knew that wherever they went was planned. But even if the plan was well-planned, how was the explosion controlled?

What exactly caused the explosion?

In addition to tigers, there were also brown bears, which took them a lot of time.

The guards have always been very vigilant and almost always by her side, protecting her instead of focusing their attention on Pei Xu. If there is any movement around, the guards will definitely notice it.

Gu Jiaorong was sure that there was absolutely no one else at the scene.

An explosion of this scale did not sound like that caused by gunpowder, and she did not smell any gunpowder. Moreover, the technology of gunpowder should only be in the hands of Pei Xu now.

A strange thought flashed through Gu Jiaorong's mind, but it was too fast for her to catch it.

Pei Xu looked at the person in front of him. Her face was pale and her eyes had lost their former luster. He felt so distressed that he couldn't bear to let her think about the explosion.

"Rong'er, if you can't figure it out, forget it. I'll send someone to investigate."

Pei Xu touched her cheek very gently.

Gu Jiaorong refused, she didn't think Pei Xu could find out the reason.

This matter must have been carefully planned. If neither the Crown Prince nor the Third Prince could do it, then who was it?

It was obvious that the other party not only wanted them to die, but also wanted them to die without a complete body.

Even the emperor would not hate Pei Xu to this extent.

"Your Majesty, this matter is very important. I can't help but think about it."

Gu Jiaorong grabbed Pei Xu's hand, her voice a little hoarse.

Pei Xu naturally knew that this matter was important, but at the moment, nothing was more important than Gu Jiaorong in his heart.

"Rong'er, I know, but there's no need to rush at this moment. Just think of it as for me. Rest first, okay?"
