Chapter 214 Spontaneous Combustion Without Fire
"Did you wake up by yourself?"

Lu Ze glanced at An Xuanye rather suspiciously. If he hadn't known that she wouldn't make such a joke with him, Lu Ze would have thought An Xuanye was joking.

However, this is for no reason, why does the fire burn by itself?
Maybe there are some ingenious designs in it.

As a cleaner, Lu Ze naturally has some means of creating accidents.

For example, the most well-known white phosphorus fire is a good way to create a fire.

The ignition point of white phosphorus is about forty degrees, but interestingly, this is the ignition point in dry air.

In humid air, the ignition point of white phosphorus is only about [-] degrees, that is to say, the conditions on site can still meet the temperature required for white phosphorus to ignite.

However, this well-known substance should not exist at this moment.

Although this world is very different from Blue Star, the technology tree is obviously similar.

The era when white phosphorus appeared as a separate chemical substance was as far back as the [-]th century in the West. Even if Daliang was connected to Blue Star's Dasong, at present, such a substance would not exist in Daliang.

At its best, it is a stone containing white phosphorus, which is also a kind of flint commonly used in the field.

As for purification, we have to pin our hopes on the alchemists in the West who are keen on gold. As for the alchemists in the East, they probably produce things like gunpowder and mercury.

Mainly, no one would have thought that the extraction of white phosphorus was purely a mistake. An alchemist mixed flint containing white phosphorus with a large amount of urine, charcoal, sand and other substances to obtain flammable white phosphorus. .

In this era, no such substance exists.

Lu Ze was a little curious. All this came from his own reasoning. As for whether there is such a substance, he had to ask An Xuanye to be sure.

"General An found out what caused the water leakage?"

As the saying goes, just ask if you don't understand. Lu Ze has no intention of pretending to understand. To be clear, he is too lazy to care about what An Xuanye thinks. Whether he despises or underestimates him, if he can achieve his goal , Those false names are lost if they are lost.

"No."

An Xuanye shook her head, and her eyes drifted to the east courtyard: "The fire is too big to get close to. We can only wait for the fire to stop."

"Are you still afraid of fire?"

"Everyone is afraid."

An Xuanye rolled her eyes, is it true that fire and water are invulnerable?They are all normal human structures. With such a big fire, even people from the Jianghu who have refined their external skills will be burned to ashes if they enter.

Resistance to beating does not mean invincibility, no matter how fast you run, it cannot compare with the endurance of a horse.

Otherwise, the Liang Jianghu would have been a mess long ago, how could it be as calm as it is now.

In the final analysis, one can achieve the so-called enemy of thousands of people after practicing martial arts to a deep level, but that is only the head of the general who is taken by the army of thousands of troops, and then drifts away. In this way, one has to rely on a good horse, otherwise it will be a dead soldier. The kind that comes and goes.

As powerful as the martial sage Guan Yu, he would be besieged to death. If there are too many ants, the elephant will be killed.

An army is always stronger than an individual. A person who has practiced martial arts for many years can defeat ten, twenty, or even hundreds of people, but facing a team of more than a thousand people, physical exertion is a big problem after all.

Luanquan can still kill the master, no matter how powerful the situation is, can it withstand a round of volleys?

To be able to bear it, there wouldn't be even a single sect in Daliang territory.

400 years ago, people were shot to death by random arrows. It was not uncommon for them to be shot to death in one round.

Lu Ze understood the meaning of An Xuanye's words, and smiled awkwardly. It is true that he still overestimates the martial arts people in this world.

In the martial arts novels written by Jin Yong and Gu Long in the previous life, people who are proficient in martial arts are brave enough to defeat thousands of people. It seems that one person can resist thousands of troops standing there, but even a powerful person like Guo Jing can defeat a dragon for eighteen times with one hand. The power of the palm is extraordinary, but it can't save Xiangyang City?

Qiao Feng is invincible and brave, but he will also be injured in the battle of Juxian Village.

Straightening his mind, Lu Ze frowned again. The fire started for no apparent reason. The main reason was that it happened just in time for his group to arrive. It was a bit of a coincidence.

"General An, is there someone here who wants to target you and me, or why is it such a coincidence? As soon as we arrived, there was a fire here."

"I don't know, it's not clear yet."

An Xuanye shook her head, glanced sharply at Lu Ze, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, your safety is definitely the top priority, and these days, the situation is not easy to find."

"That's true."

There is an old saying: Confucianism disrupts the law with literature, and chivalry violates prohibitions with martial arts.People in the Jianghu have always been particularly able to make troubles, for the sake of martial arts secret books, for the treasures of magic weapons, and for the distinction between good and evil, they can set off a bloody storm at every turn.

People in the rivers and lakes are happy, but innocent people naturally become the objects of suffering.

However, since Emperor Wu of Liang swept up the rivers and lakes and destroyed the sect, the rivers and lakes in Daliang have become calm. Most of the so-called people from the rivers and lakes have entered the major families since childhood, or received education in the army, and it has rarely happened in Daliang. What is the matter of brawls between people in the arena.

As for the balance between good and evil, and martial arts conferences, such grand events naturally no longer exist, and there is no need for people in the world to compete for the leader of the martial arts. If the local government reports it, it will directly shoot a round of volleys, let alone martial arts The leader of the alliance, even the senior whom everyone in the world respects, has to be reincarnated.

Lu Ze was not very clear about the situation in other countries, but there was indeed no so-called sect in Nanyang County, and there were very few people wandering around. Most of them were family private armies like the Lu family, which had been cultivated since childhood.

Therefore, wild lands are a scarce resource, and most lands are well-known in the government, such as Lu Tian, ​​which is also registered to record basic information such as age and place of origin.

Whenever there is a wild person in the world who is not on the official list, once exposed, there is a high probability that he will be hunted down. There is a special department in the Liang Army responsible for these matters to ensure that there are no wild talents in the territory.

Therefore, even if someone targeted them, they would not dare to send too many strong men. If anyone followed the vines to investigate, once it was confirmed, they would have to face the two behemoths of Prince Ning's Mansion and the Lu family at the same time. The Duke did not dare to underestimate him.

The two talked for a few more words, and then went back to their rooms. The rain was getting heavier and darker, and Lu Ze didn't plan to search for anything in the ruins.

Moreover, with such a large fire, even if there is heavy rain to suppress it, it is estimated that everything will be settled in the morning. As for whether there will be any clues left at the scene, Lu Ze has no hope for it.

The source must have been burned. Needless to say, as for how the arsonist designed and started the fire, that remains to be considered. However, Lu Ze is not a professional among them. It is easy for him to set a fire, but let him trace the source and find it. Huoyuan, it was still too difficult for him.

Without a solid foundation of correlation, if you can find it with your eyes alone, [-]% of it is good luck, and the remaining [-]% is because the layout is too rough, so you can see it if you are careful.

Lu Ze slept soundly with the sound of the rain and the shouts of his servants.

When I got up early in the morning, the rain was much lighter. Under the drizzle, the sky was plumb, and it seemed that a bigger storm was brewing.

Under the service of the maid, Lu Ze took some time to wash up, then walked out of the room, just in time to catch up with the maid who came to deliver breakfast, holding a wooden tray in her hand, which contained white fungus and bird's nest porridge, exuding a tempting sweetness.

Lu Ze is not worried about the safety of the porridge. The maid who is close to him will naturally be responsible for the inspection. Don't think that the maid who can accompany Lu Ze on the road is someone who has no power to restrain the chicken. As a close maid who was raised by the Lu family , I don't have any real talents under my hands, so how is that possible?

vase?The Lu family has no shortage of such characters, who are good-looking and useful, so they can serve them personally.

Otherwise, Lu Ze would bring his frail servant girl with him during the long journey, and it would be completely troublesome for him. When it comes to realm, the servant girl is much higher than the current Lu Ze.

Of course, realm is not the maidservant's main ability. Other things like identifying whether food is poisonous, warming Lu Ze's bed, rubbing his back... These are serious things. If Lu Ze wants to, he can sleep with his arms around him at night.

However, Lu Ze doesn't have these bad tastes. Although he can do this when he is an adult, it is not a good thing to ruin others' innocence.

Although the maid may want to sleep with Lu Ze, but Lu Ze has no such plan yet.

After breakfast, Lu Ze left the room and went straight to the east courtyard.

After one night of fighting and the heavy rain, even though the entire east courtyard was in a mess, there was still a rough skeleton left. Otherwise, the fire last night would definitely burn up completely.

It's also interesting to say that the special kerosene discovered by An Xuanye last night was originally intended to burn down the fire-resistant houses in the east courtyard. The burning of these fire oils is not particularly sufficient. After all, it is not the true fire of Samadhi. The heavy rain is still enough to suppress it.

Therefore, traces of fire oil can still be found on the ground.

Walking into the east courtyard, An Xuanye had already arrived and was standing on the side, while Zhang Yuanwai was supported by someone on the other side, looking at the east courtyard that had turned into scorched earth with tears.

"how is the situation?"

Approaching An Xuanye, Lu Ze asked.

"Seventy percent have been burned, and about thirty percent remain."

An Xuanye didn't look back, but just replied.

Lu Ze shrugged noncommittally, this was already the best result.

If it hadn't been for the heavy rain last night, it is estimated that there would be nothing left in the east courtyard.

"Come on, let's go in and have a look together."

The flames completely disappeared in the east courtyard, gray smoke was floating everywhere, and the air was full of choking smell.

Walking into the ruins, Lu Ze could still feel the surrounding temperature, which was still very high, and his face was sore. That's why the servant hadn't come in to clean up the mess.

There was a lot of black kerosene left on the ground, which was extremely sticky on the soles of the feet. All the kerosene was scattered in places, and it looked like it was spilled randomly.

"The surroundings are neat, but the kerosene in the room is obviously everywhere."

An Xuanye said that she found some kerosene in the corner last night. It was splashed along the roots of the wall, and there was almost no kerosene on the wall. But inside the house, the kerosene was poured very casually, as if Someone got drunk and went crazy among them.

Very different styles.

"Maybe there's not enough time."

Lu Ze guessed, but An Xuanye retorted directly: "I have already asked Yuanwai Zhang, the East Hospital is cleaned every seven days, and then it is basically closed behind closed doors, and only Miss Zhang's family comes in to study medical books from time to time. After Miss Zhang was robbed, no one has come in here for four days."

"The last cleaning was four days ago?"

"To be exact, it's five days, and there are guards on duty at the gate of the east courtyard, and there are high walls all around. If people want to come in, they can only go through the courtyard gate."

"You mean this thing was done by someone with a little bit of martial arts?"

An Xuanye nodded: "The general three-legged cat kung fu can't get in. The decoration in the east courtyard is simple and there are no extra things, so the guards will definitely notice you when you climb over the wall. If you don't have a foundation in lightness skills, otherwise you won't be able to break in silently."

"About what realm?"

"I don't know, but it shouldn't exceed the five qi. Each martial art is different, and the directions they are good at are also different. Some are good at lightness kung fu, and naturally the requirements are lower, and some are good at internal strength, and the requirements are much higher. However, the five qi The environment is certain, otherwise there would be no need to spend so much trouble."

"Too."

Lu Ze nodded, seeing the mess at the scene, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he understood An Xuanye's meaning better, and said, "You mean that the kerosene was not brought in all at once?"

"You're not too stupid."

An Xuanye nodded. Although Lu Ze didn't react for a moment, he was able to understand what he said within five or six breaths, which also meant that he was not as stupid as the information said.

Lu Ze shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer An Xuanye's words, but asked in confusion, "Then how did he manage to spontaneously ignite? Could there be other means?"

"Who knows?"

The room was full of messes, and the bookshelf fell to the floor. It was not easy to go forward, and we had to wait for the servants to finish cleaning up before they could come in.

After leaving the ruins, Lu Ze wiped the sweat from his forehead. Looking at An Xuanye who was wrapped in white armor, he couldn't help but feel his scalp numb. In such a high temperature environment, An Xuanye inside would not It has been made into teppanyaki.

It's just that he still didn't dare to ask this question. If An Xuanye slapped him in anger, it would be really worth the candle.

A few people left the east courtyard and arrived at the hall. Lu Ze still wanted to ask Yuanwai Zhang some questions.

Although I don't know if this matter has anything to do with my group, but since they are all here, it's better to meddle in their own business.

What Lu Ze was curious about was how the guy hiding in the dark managed to ignite without fire.
