Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1144: Chapter 1144: This is What You Show Me? (Fourth Update)_1 Chapter 1144: Chapter 1144: This is What You Show Me? (Fourth Update)_1 Upon hearing his urging, the person standing by his side immediately asked, “Chancellor Shen, since you knew that the royal family had been poisoned, why not just quietly wait for the poison to take effect? Why stir up a palace coup at a time like this!”

This person was a squad leader of the Imperial Forest Army, who had been heavily bribed by Shen Chenghao and ultimately turned to Shen Chenghao’s side.

Now, seeing Yang Wenxiao taking out the explosives, he couldn’t help but regret it.

Feeling regretful and truly puzzled, he couldn’t help but confront Shen Chenghao with his question.

This wasn’t so much a question as it was a chance to blame someone with death imminent.

Had he thrown in his lot with Yang Wenxiao now, Yang Wenxiao probably wouldn’t even leave him an intact corpse…

Alas, why had he been so blind as to follow Shen Chenghao impulsively!

Regrettably, it was useless to be annoyed now; there was no medicine for regret in this world. When it came to the dangerous business of seizing the throne, taking the wrong side meant losing one’s head.

Cornered by the question, Shen Chenghao couldn’t help but stamp his foot. Yes, the Yang Family had been poisoned by the hellflower, but as beautiful as it was, it acted too slowly!

If they really dragged this out, it might even take ten years, and within that decade, Yang Hao would have enough time to consolidate his power.

The hellflower didn’t manage to wipe out the entire legitimate line of the Yang Family; there were still two that slipped through the net, Yang Hao and Yang Ye!

So he couldn’t wait–he just wanted to take this opportunity to kill off the entire legitimate line of the Yang Family in one fell swoop!

Who could have known Yang Wenxiao would have hidden three chests of explosives!

“Yang Wenxiao! I really underestimated you!” he said fiercely.

Upon hearing this, Yang Wenxiao sneered, “I’ve eaten more rice than you’ve walked roads.”

Shen Chenghao and Emperor Yongan were of the same generation, around fifty years old, while Yang Wenxiao had lived thirty years longer than him!

“I didn’t expect you to be so impatient, Chancellor Shen. After all, the Shen Family is an old and prominent aristocratic family. I thought you would have planned a much more thorough rebellion. I’ve waited all these years, and this is all you have to show me?”

As Yang Wenxiao spoke, he glanced at Shen Chenghao as if looking at a fool, the contempt on his face unmistakable,

Shen Chenghao’s face instantly reddened with anger. Both Yang Wenxiao and Emperor Yongan rarely left the palace, and there were explosives inside the palace; if he acted there, that would truly be the act of a fool.

Now, what a great opportunity it was; his men outnumbered Yang Wenxiao’s by several times.

Grinding his teeth, he shouted loudly, “Don’t just stand there, attack! Three chests of explosives can’t kill all of you! I, Shen Chenghao, promise that if you die, I’ll give ten thousand taels of condolence money to each of your families!”

“And now that you’ve shown your faces, you won’t be able to escape the Yang Family’s retribution either!”

“You’re going to die anyway. Fortune favors the bold, so attack!”

The phrases “fortune favors the bold” and “you’re going to die anyway” really hit home for Shen Chenghao’s men.

Yes, at this point, there was no turning back.

Thinking this way, the previously timid crowd immediately surged up towards the platform.

Seeing this, Tong Sanlang quickly whipped his long whip again. The whip seemed to come alive, accompanied by a whistling wind. Anyone trying to approach the platform was struck by his whip and sent flying.

Tong Sanlang alone, with a whip in hand, held off the attack while Ren Zhong hurried to light and throw the explosives.

Igniting the fuse, sparks sizzled from the fuse as he threw it into the crowd.

With a loud “bang”, the explosive detonated mid-air. The Imperial Forest Army soldiers who couldn’t dodge in time screamed as they were hit, their affected organs obliterated, drenched in blood.

To describe the power of explosives as “being blown to pieces” might be an exaggeration,

But to ordinary people, this power was indeed worthy of being called a divine weapon.
