Chapter 37: Fire cannon

Views:

Shen Zechuan's eyes darkened, and he got a lot closer to Xiao Chiye. He listened to Xiao Chiye and said, "It really smells like me, it's too pungent."

Shen Zechuan changed the subject and asked, "You have added a new cannon to the Imperial Army?"

"Bronze fire gun." Xiao Chiye put his finger to the tip of Shen Zechuan's nose and let him smell, "It was mixed with your scent, and I couldn't tell it apart for a while."

"I don't have any smell on me." Shen Zechuan's nose moved slightly and said, "You copied the armory of the Eighth Battalion?"

The fire gun was restricted by the imperial court. After it was improved from the original bamboo tube to the copper tube, it became the equipment of the Chunquan Camp in the eight major battalions. This thing has lethal power, but it is not so easy to control, the range of projectile flying is limited, and it takes time to load. However, because the Eighth Camp guards the capital, and most of the fights are street battles, the fire gun is not only difficult to play its role, but has become a burden. Therefore, the Eighth Camp has not been popularized, but chose to be idle. It is only used during school field exercises every year. .

Eight major camps are not suitable, but it is very suitable for Libei Iron Cavalry. The Libei Iron Cavalry is a heavy cavalry army. The number of infantry and light cavalry is in the minority, and they prefer to charge in a straight line like a huge wave. In the early years, Da Zhou set up a cavalry guard station at Luoxia Pass. In order to deal with the extremely fast speed of the Biansha cavalry, he did not hesitate to buy horses and try to establish Da Zhou's own cavalry horse farm. However, the horses sent by the Biansha tribe are often inferior products of the tribe. Their horses are real Hummers from the wild wolves under the Hongyan Mountains. They are equipped with machetes and strong warriors. They go everywhere. Invincible hand.

That's why Xiao Fangxu created the Libei iron cavalry with iron armor and steel hooves, forming a living iron wall in the northwest, so that the stormy impact of the Biansha cavalry could not cross this steel wall at all.

The northwest is a vast expanse of grassland. If the Libei cavalry can be equipped with fire guns, the long-distance impact of the Biansha cavalry will become the advantage of the Libei cavalry. The long-distance impact can leave enough time for the fire gun to fill up, and when the cavalry arrives, it is the firing range of the fire gun.

This is an even more powerful addition to Libei.

"The Eighth Battalion picked Xi Gu'an, but it's still the Eighth Battalion." Xiao Chiye took a step closer and pushed Shen Zechuan forward with his chest, "There is no such thing as a copy of the military library, it's just a change of master. Don't worry about it, I just used it for fun."

Shen Zechuan took a few steps, as if he really didn't care, and only said, "Can you walk with the blanket off?"

"[1] The days are short and the nights are long, so why not swim with candles." Xiao Chiye laughed, "Would you like to play with me too?"

"Since it wasn't obtained from an open and honest way, it would be safer to hide it." Shen Zechuan lifted the blanket and got out, "Crossing the capital with the smell of fire|medicine, it was late at night."

"It's nothing to worry about during the day." Xiao Chiye held his pillow, raised his arm, walked on the blanket, and scanned the lower porch with his eyes, "Who doesn't know that Xiao Ce'an likes to play, and taking a fire gun is also a bird shot. "

He focused on the word "bird" and heard Ding Tao and Gujin, who were lying on top of them, shuddered together.

After entering the room, Xiao Chiye threw the blanket and pillow on the couch where he was sleeping, kicked off his boots two or three times, and stepped on the scorpion to take a bath. He took off half of his clothes and stretched out half of his body from behind the curtain.

"Did you wash it?"

Shen Zechuan rinsed his mouth and said, "I have washed it."

Xiao Chiye washed it by himself. He moved quickly, wiped the water on his neck when he came out, and saw that Shen Zechuan had already laid down on his back. Xiao Chiye watched him cover the back of his neck, wiped his hair hastily, and then blew out the light.

Shen Zechuan listened to him sitting on the couch and opened the box to find something.

"Lanzhou," Xiao Chiye closed the box and said, "Are you asleep?"

Shen Zechuan replied without emotion: "Sleep."

"Dali Temple called a lot of doctors today, but they didn't dare to disturb the hospital." Xiao Chiye said, "What did you do to Ji Lei?"

Shen Zechuan said, "Do you want to listen to ghost stories late at night?"

"Tomorrow morning, the guards of Xing Prison will be interrogated." Xiao Chiye said.

Just do it.

Shen Zechuan didn't know whether Hai Liangyi could tolerate such a thing, but he knew that Xue Xiuzhuo would definitely be able to. Xue Xiuzhuo had already obtained the confession he wanted, Ji Lei was useless. This mess was smashed by Shen Zechuan, but he didn't want to clean it up at all, because Xue Xiuzhuo and Xi Hongxuan had to clean it up.

Shen Zechuan thought of this, and said, "I'm keeping myself safe like this, Cha Ye..."

Xiao Chiye lay down, then suddenly sat up and said, "Wipe my hair."

Shen Zechuan closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Xiao Chiye said, "Don't pretend to be asleep, hurry up."

Xiao Chiye said, "Lanzhou."

Xiao Chiye said, "Shen Lanzhou."

The bed suddenly sank, Shen Zechuan opened his eyes in shock, the quilt had been lifted, Xiao Chiye squeezed him from behind, rubbed his wet head against his back, and immediately got wet.

Shen Zechuan dragged the quilt and said, "Xiao Er, you are three years old!"

"Almost." Xiao Chiye said lazily, "Aren't you asleep? Keep sleeping."

The more Shen Zechuan slept, the wetter he became, and the chill stuck to him, followed by Xiao Chiye, who had the same smell as last night's handkerchief.

Shen Zechuan opened his eyes and said, "My clothes are wet."

No one answered.

Shen Zechuan said, "Don't pretend to be asleep."

Shen Zechuan said, "Xiao Er."

Shen Zechuan stood up and said in the dark, "Xiao Ce'an, you are a bastard."

The bastard thoughtfully handed him the dry handkerchief, and turned his back to wait.

Ding Tao on the roof shrank his hands and said, "It's so cold in the snow, I'm afraid this winter will be difficult."

Gujin handed him the wine bag, rubbed his hands together and said, "We stayed for two nights, it's time for a change tomorrow morning."

Ding Tao took a sip of wine, which made him warmer. He also lay down with his hands folded, looked at the night sky, and said, "There is no movement tonight."

"There is a long way to go." Gu Jin covered the wine bag, suddenly his ears moved, and he slammed over to his body, his eyes wandering like a falcon in the vast night.

There was a slight sound of stepping on the snow in the wind, Gu Jin made a decisive decision, flipped his hand and threw a flying blade, and whispered: "Northwest corner!"

Ding Tao suddenly jumped up, flew over the roof, and chopped at the night.

The black robes in the night dodged like waves, and the people came in the form of ghosts, hiding in the shadows and running away. Ding Tao was as soft as boneless, and fell down from the eaves. Unexpectedly, there were three steel needles in front of him. The pen barrel in his hand opened the steel needles with a "crack". When he looked again, he had already run away.

Ding Tao fell to the ground silently.

Gujin watched from the roof and said, "Good work, you can hide from my eyes. Taozi, do you see who it is?"

Ding Tao picked up the steel needle from under the corridor and pinched it on the tip of her finger. In just a short moment, she had learned a lot of things and said, "It is as thin as hair, quenched with snake venom, it is not something from Qidu, it is Yongquan, the thirteenth city of Juexi. Foreign stuff imported from Hong Kong. Qinggong is good, and it is very good at hiding. Although there is no saber, in all likelihood, it is a Jinyiwei."

He carefully put the steel needle into his bamboo tube and turned over onto the roof.

"Jinyiwei has withdrawn a group of officials, and there are very few strong players in the fourth rank." Gu Jin said, "Who will come to our palace to inquire at this moment."

"It's hard to say," Ding Tao rubbed her chest with lingering fears, "almost poked my little book."

Gujin drank thoughtfully.

Ding Tao sat cross-legged, and began to whisper: "This book has been with me for many years, and it was rewarded by the imperial concubine. I have never been poked by anyone when I went to fight Biansha Bald. It's really dangerous, it's too dangerous, and there are many more written in it. What's the matter. Did you know that my father's book was stolen when someone wiped his neck. My mother, I remembered all the important events. At that time, I was about to die after chasing the book. Brother Jin, I That is to say, people still have to keep a notebook, because when they get old, they become forgetful. Like you, if you drink so much wine all day, you should forget how much money you have hidden before you are forty years old, and you will not forget it when you write it down. If you don't tell me, I'll remember it for you..."

Gujin stuffed cotton wool into his ears and began to meditate.

The next day, Shen Zechuan woke up first.

He hadn't slept, Xiao Chiye squeezed behind him, and the two of them were fighting over a quilt at night. Besides, with such a big person by his side, Shen Zechuan couldn't sleep.

Xiao Chiye slept soundly, holding the pillow motionless.

Shen Zechuan waited for him to wake up, but waited for something else.

The erection was on the buttocks, full of energy, hot and obvious. The heat on the bed rose, Xiao Chiye didn't know whether he was woken up by the heat or hard, but in short, he scolded in a hoarse voice and sat up.

Xiao Chiye threw away the pillow and glanced at Shen Zechuan, seeing that Shen Zechuan was also looking at him. He grabbed his hair, reached out and covered Shen Zechuan with a quilt, so that Shen Zechuan was not allowed to see. Then he got out of bed by himself, without wearing shoes, and went directly into the pool.

Chen Yang was waiting outside, listening to the movement, seeing Shen Zechuan coming out, the two were facing each other, Chen Yang didn't know what to say. Shen Zechuan was quite natural, pointed to the direction of the bathing hall, raised his foot and left.

When Xiao Chiye came out, he was already awake. He had some breakfast and listened to Chen Yang saying that someone came last night.

"Jinyiwei?" Xiao Chiye thought for a moment and said, "It wasn't for me, it was supposed to be staring at Shen Lanzhou."

"That's the Queen Mother." Chen Yang said, "But now there are so few people, how can Jinyiwei still have such a master."

"Jinyiwei is in deep water." Xiao Chiye stood up, "I'll go to the court and come back to talk."

Li Jianheng hugged his hands warmly after the funeral, sat in the Mingli Hall, watched everyone lined up on both sides, and asked nervously: "...So that's the sentence?"

Xue Xiuzhuo knelt down and said, "Reporting to the emperor, Ji Lei confessed to the intention of treason at the Nanlin Hunting Ground. Now the evidence is conclusive. Last night, the Dali Temple worked all night to sort out the confession, and now it has been submitted to the emperor by the old man. Before and after the Hua Party case In half a month, the three judicial divisions held repeated trials, and sentenced Ji Lei, the two acquaintances of Jin Yiwei, and the four commanders, to be executed.

"It's good to be sentenced, it's good to be sentenced." Li Jianheng said, "Elder Ge has worked hard, so it is not advisable to stand for a long time, and someone will give you a seat."

After Hai Liangyi sat down, Li Jianheng continued: "The flower party colluded with the eunuch and Jin Yiwei to rebel against the guards, which is really abominable! Decision! The last time Mr. Ge told me, I tossed and turned, and after thinking about it for a long time, I decided to work hard from now on."

Hai Liangyi got up immediately and wanted to worship.

Li Jianheng hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Sit and sit, Mr. Ge. Today, I need Mr. Ge's guidance on many things. It is right for me to say "Mr." If so, speak up here.”

Xue Xiuzhuo raised his head unexpectedly, but did not show it on his face. He knelt down together with the officials on the left and right, and praised him.

Li Jianheng excitedly motioned everyone to get up, and after talking for a while, he asked them to retire, but he invited Mr. Haige to stay and have a meal together.

When Xiao Chiye came out, he was with Xue Xiuzhuo.

Xue Xiuzhuo said: "I don't know what the governor and the emperor said, but the emperor is willing to be so polite to the corporal."

"Your Majesty is young and strong. It's time to show off your skills. Even if I don't speak, you will do it." Xiao Chiye said, "Dali Temple is busy these days, and Lord Yanqing has worked hard."

"It should be in your position to seek political affairs." Xue Xiuzhuo said, looking at Xiao Chiye, and said with a smile, "I heard that the Governor has been going to Fengshan hard for the past two days, but what's the fun?"

Xiao Chiye also laughed and said, "The first snow on Fengshan Mountain is the best in the world. Recently, there have been a few deer. I'm thinking about how many times to come back to play. If you have time, why don't you go and have a look?"

Xue Xiuzhuo waved his hand lightly and said, "I am a weak scholar, where can I hunt? Don't defeat the governor's interest."

The two broke up at the gate of the palace, and Xiao Chiye's smile faded just now as he watched him go away.

Chen Yang waited by the carriage, and when Xiao Chiye arrived, he lifted the curtain and said, "Governor, Master, his old man has already left for Qidu."

Xiao Chiye nodded.

Chen Yang hesitated for a moment, then said, "The follower at Dali Temple said that Ji Lei was dead."

Xiao Chiye said, "How did you die?"

Chen Yang raised his hand to draw a picture, and said in a deep voice, "Being cut into a ghost or a ghost, it didn't work last night, but Xue Xiuzhuo forced his last breath and presented the confession to the imperial court before he was cut off. gas."

Xiao Chiye sat down silently.

Chen Yang said: "Ji Lei tried Shen Zechuan in the prison five years ago, and asked Fengquan to humiliate him in public with 'donkey burning'. Now he is revenge for revenge, and Ji Lei has become... This person's temperament must be revenge. It's obvious. Governor, we also have a grudge against him, and it's too dangerous to have him around now."

Xiao Chiye turned the bone spanner on his thumb and didn't answer.
