A sharp sword flew towards the man and pierced his body. Song Baoling saw him fall directly in front of her, and her heart was shocked.

She knew it was time for her to leave, and she would be killed if she stayed and was discovered.

Song Baoling turned around and left in a panic. After walking not far, she stopped and looked back. She saw that the gunpowder magazine had been ignited, and finally even the gunpowder magazine on the back mountain was filled with flames.

At this moment, she knew something big was going to happen.

Song Baoling ran back all the way without stopping. It was not until she returned to the courtyard that her restless heart gradually calmed down.

"Second brother?"

Song Baoling called out tentatively, and when she came to Song Lianming's room and saw that he was still asleep, she breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to prevent Song Lianming and Jun Tingsheng from taking risks, she drugged their water to make them fall asleep.

After Song Baoling put a blanket on her second brother, she ran back to Jun Tingsheng's room and met him face to face as soon as she entered the door.

"Ling'er?"

Faced with Jun Tingsheng's surprise, before Song Baoling had time to explain, he suddenly felt dizzy and then lost consciousness.

"Ling'er!"

Jun Tingsheng quickly hugged her with quick eyes and hands, and immediately placed her on the bed. After checking, he found that although Song Baoling fainted, her breathing was stable and there was no serious problem.

Looking at the dirt on her shoes and the leaves on her sleeves, Jun Tingsheng suddenly made a guess.

She didn't know how long she had slept. When Song Baoling opened her eyes, she found that it was already dark. Thinking of what she saw on the mountain, she felt a shiver on her back.

"woke up."

Jun Tingsheng's voice came to her ears. Song Baoling turned around and saw him approaching. She opened her mouth and was about to speak when Song Lianming suddenly came out from behind: "Ling'er is awake? Let me see quickly."

Song Lianming was seen walking quickly in front of Song Baoling. Even Jun Tingsheng, who was walking in front at the beginning, was pushed aside by him, as if he was eager to protect his sister.

"How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Song Lianming touched Song Baoling's forehead, pulled her and looked at her again and again, "Why did she faint when she was fine? Is she too weak..."

Song Baoling listened to his ramble. In order to prevent him from talking any more, she quickly stopped him: "Second brother, I'm fine. I was just a little dizzy just now, but I'm fine now."

"Really? But I think you look very bad. How about I go find a doctor..."

"No need to call a doctor, I'm really fine."

Song Baoling quickly waved her hand to refuse and cast a look at Jun Tingsheng for help. Seeing that the other party did not respond, she immediately put on a pitiful look.

Alas, this girl...

Jun Tingsheng sighed helplessly and stepped forward to dissuade her: "I don't think Ling'er is in any serious condition. Maybe she is tired from traveling these days. Why don't you go get some medicine for her to replenish her health."

Song Lianming thought it made sense, so after comforting Song Baoling, he hurriedly left for the drug store.

After they were the only two people left in the room, Jun Tingsheng didn't beat around the bush and asked directly: "Did you go to the gunpowder magazine?"

"Tell me, what happened?"

When Song Baoling heard this, he immediately sat upright and asked anxiously: "How is the situation at the gunpowder depot?"

"A fire broke out in the gunpowder magazine, and twenty-four bodies were found inside. The gunpowder magazine on the barren mountain has been razed to the ground."

Speaking of this, Jun Tingsheng frowned with a heavy expression, "I went in and checked, and there were no traces of a large amount of gunpowder explosion. I guess... the gunpowder was probably transferred in advance."

This incident caught him by surprise. He thought he could catch the mastermind before he took action, but instead the other party wiped out all traces.

Song Baoling leaned on the bedside dejectedly, thinking about those people who had been killed and the fact that there were no clues at all, and she couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"It's all my fault. I should have told you earlier."

"What?"

Seeing Jun Tingsheng looking at him in confusion, Song Baoling pursed her lips guiltily, "Actually, I didn't let you and your eldest brother go explore the gunpowder warehouse because I had a premonition that there would be danger in the barren mountains, so I drugged you.

, went alone to inquire about the news."

"But I still couldn't prevent the dream from coming true, I couldn't prevent those people from being killed, and the clues were lost. It's all my fault..."

Song Baoling lowered her head and was talking, when her face was suddenly held up by both hands. Looking at Jun Tingsheng's handsome face in front of her, she was suddenly startled.

"It's not your fault, don't force yourself too much."

"This matter is too weird. I just arrived in Liuzhou and the gunpowder magazine was destroyed within two days. It's hard to say that I was set up by someone when I came to Liuzhou to investigate."

Jun Tingsheng's heart was extremely heavy, and several familiar faces skipped through his mind. These few people were most beneficial to his situation now.

But, who is plotting him behind the scenes?

Seeing his solemn expression, Song Baoling couldn't help but remember that Jun Tingsheng had found the gunpowder warehouse so smoothly before, and it had not been discovered during this period. This was a bit suspicious no matter how you thought about it.

Also, if she had not stopped Jun Tingsheng from exploring the barren mountain gunpowder warehouse, he might have died.

Thinking of this, Song Baolington broke into a cold sweat. Suddenly, she thought of something.

"Jun... Your Majesty, this time the Holy Master asked you to go to Liuzhou alone. Do you think it will be..."

Is it true that the Holy One sent Jun Tingsheng to investigate and took the opportunity to kill someone?

Jun Tingsheng did not respond to this question because he had discovered in the early years that Jun Yelan did not like him. Just because he was still young, Jun Yelan never found a chance to deal with him.

Now, I'm afraid I can't wait to take action.

"Okay, now that you've just woken up, you don't have to think about it so much. I'm here for everything, so don't worry."

Jun Tingsheng gently stroked Song Baoling's head, thinking that when he was sleeping, his Ling'er ran alone to the barren mountains and almost got into danger, there was a hint of distress in his movements.

Song Baoling knew that he was comforting himself. The matter of the Liuzhou gunpowder depot was definitely not that simple.

If her guess just now is correct and an emperor wants to deal with his minister, then this minister will be in danger from now on.

Half an hour later, Song Lianming came in with the prepared medicine. When he saw the two people who were silent, he couldn't help but feel strange.

"Ling'er, drink the medicine."

Song Baoling sat down obediently after hearing this, but after just a few sips, she felt it was too bitter, so she resorted to all sorts of tricks and coquettishness to get Song Lianming to give up forcing her to take the medicine.

"By the way, there was news from the county magistrate's office just now that Zhao Quanwan was still not found."

Jun Tingsheng was not surprised by this. As a county magistrate, it was impossible for Zhao Quan to know nothing about the gunpowder depot and even have a close relationship with him.

Now that Zhao Quanwan has disappeared and the barren mountain gunpowder depot has been razed to the ground, the matter can no longer be investigated.

In the evening, the three of them were sitting around the table having a meal, but because such a big thing had just happened, they had no appetite, and they didn't talk much during the period.
