In a daze, when he heard some rustling movements, Sun Shaozong thought it was Ruan Rong and Xiang Ling who were dressing, and subconsciously came a Dapeng spreading his wings, trying to wrap the two into his arms.
Unexpectedly, the two arms were swept away together.
He split his legs unbelievingly, but only stirred up the dampness of the blanket.
What about people
He opened a gap in his eyelids, and the refreshing facial features of the pomegranate immediately came into view. Sun Shaozong, who was stunned, sat up from the bed, only to find that it was already bright outside.
"Second Master."
Seeing that he suddenly sat up, Pomegranate hurriedly threw back the half-rolled curtain, and shyly said a thousand blessings in front of the bed.
"What time is it?"
Sun Shaozong yawned and lifted the quilt at will. The extravagant aura left by the fierce battle last night suddenly filled the air.
Probably because of the upcoming parting, Ruan Rong actually took the initiative to ask Xiangling to come over last night, and talked about the secrets of childbirth from poetry and songs, and then based on practice, the original broad and profound theory was extracted from the rough, and the analysis and explanation were explained in simple terms.
If it wasn't for Sun Shaozong being a little too hasty, this penetrating lecture would be called perfect.
"Go back to the second master."
Hearing the pomegranate blushing: "It's almost [10:00 a.m.], and the aunt said that you still have important errands, so that's why the slaves came to serve you, wash and change your clothes."
It was already so late.
It seems that last night was a little too much. It's no wonder, although Sun Shaozong has experienced a lot of good things since he traveled, but every time he has all kinds of scruples, it is always difficult to display it to the fullest.
Yesterday was different. Anyway, it was his concubine's room. Naturally, he could come as he wanted, and he didn't have to think about the issue of 'the aftermath'.
Recalling the wonderful thing about last night, Sun Shaozong stretched out his two thick and long hairy legs, and Shiliu hurriedly put his pants on him.
At this time, Furong also brought hot water, and the two stepped forward, quickly dressed Sun Shaozong, and took the quilt out to wash and dry.
And Sun Shaozong went straight to the outside, seeing that there was a pot of eight-treasure porridge and a few dishes of side dishes on the square table with a bamboo grate, so he filled it up randomly, and then Shi Shiran went out of the room.
When he got to the courtyard, he looked to the southwest corner, and as expected, including Second Sister You, all three women were in the pavilion guarding the children and gossiping.
Sun Shaozong strode over, first picked up his daughter from the bamboo basket, gave a kiss, then smiled and said to Xiang Ling who stood up to greet him, "This is two poems in debt, and I won't rush you, Before going south to quell the rebellion, why should you let the master taste it?"
Xiang Lingteng's cheeks flushed all of a sudden, and he stammered, but Ruan Rong had already pushed her back to her seat.
"Don't pay attention to the Lord, he knows that he will spoil serious knowledge."
Ruan Rong said, and said sternly: "Just now, I heard from Butler Zhao that your golden ring knife has cracked a lot, and I'm afraid it will not be used in the future - since the master wants to go south to quell the rebellion, he will fight it anyway. Let the uncle help you get a piece of armor for self-defense."
This is really a matter of urgency.
Personal force is rarely used in this capital, and with bare hands plus a strange force, it is enough to run amok.
But now that we want to go south to suppress the rebellion, it is imminent to purchase a suitable equipment.
After saying goodbye to his wife and children in the pavilion, Sun Shaozong rode out of the mansion, and he kept thinking about the issue of the sword and armor along the way.
The armor is actually good to say, the stature of the cheap brother is similar to that of Sun Shaozong, but the waist is a bit thicker - I really can't find a suitable one, so just change his armor.
As for this blade...
I am afraid that it will be difficult to find ready-made weapons at the moment. After all, there is not even half of the warriors in the capital who can match Sun Shaozong in strength. This ready-made weapon is either too light or too light.
After thinking about it, I had no choice but to go to the supervisor and hit a few new weapons.
Anyway, Sun Shaozong does not pursue any fine-tuning, as long as the weight is enough and it is strong and durable.
As for the appearance, it is best to have a 'deterrent' effect, for example, to make a 100-pound Qinglong Yanyue Knife—Huguang area is where Guan Erye stepped into the peak of his life, although the Zhou Dynasty did not honor Guan Erye. He is a Martial Saint, but it should not be a problem to use the name of the second master to bluff those mountain barbarians.
I just thought about it, that Qinglong Yanyue Saber seems to be good for horse fighting, and I am afraid it will be inconvenient in the mountains.
either...
Two big hammers
Just follow the four fierce and eight hammers in the storytelling!
Of course, the 800-pound drum-beating Weng Jin hammer would definitely be useless—even if Sun Shaozong could make it move, carrying that thing for a long distance in the mountains, he would have to vomit blood.
A hammer weighs eighty-two pounds, which should be almost the same.
The length is tentatively set to be four feet [about 1 meter 25]. It may be a disadvantage for long weapons, but in mountain combat, flexibility is very important.
And the hammer is sincere. Eighty-two pounds may not be a big lump. As long as you have enough strength, it will not look clumsy.
and many more!
Either just use a hammer and a mace in one hand, use a hammer when smashing doors, and use a mace when killing people. The big nail will be a blood hole, and the deterrence will be guaranteed.
It is best to get another shield, so as not to accidentally get hurt by a cold arrow when charging into the battle.
Just thinking about it like that, Sun Shaozong couldn't help laughing when he saw outside the Fusi gate in Beizhen.
Those who seem to have been pondering just now, are not like going to war with foreign races, but like playing Wushuang in a sandbox game!
"grown ups."
He was laughing at himself, when he saw Yang Licai flying out to greet him, and said in a low voice, "We recruited a few more last night, and among them there was an incense master surnamed Wang."
Has an incense master confessed? !
Sun Shaozong's heart moved, but he knew that this was not the place to talk, so he threw the reins to the small school guarding the gate, and took Yang Licai into the Fusi in Beizhen.
It wasn't until after passing through the two gates that Sun Shaozong asked, "What have those rebels confessed?"
"It's mostly the inside story of the White Lotus Sect in the Northwest, including the addresses of several sub-rudders, and how to make a living and make money on weekdays."
Lu Hui must have obtained such information as a treasure, but Sun Shaozong didn't take much of it - not to mention that he would be out of Beijing for a while, and even if he could stay in Beijing, it would not be his turn to preside over it. Encirclement and suppress the remaining party of the White Lotus Sect in the northwest.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong asked again: "Is there any news of a traitor in Beijing, or the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus?"
Yang Licai smiled bitterly: "I can't say no, it's just..."
But it turned out that according to the account of the Lord Wang Xiang, only Ge Chen knew the authentication method of the White Lotus Saint.
Even if someone was sent to investigate, Ge Dei just explained that the baby girl born on the day of the solar eclipse should be seen from the top and bottom of the baby. Report carefully.
Therefore, it can only be determined that there is a special birthmark on the Saintess of the White Lotus Sect—but the exact location and shape are unknown.
As for the spy hidden in the capital
Wang Xiangzhu also said that it was in the hands of Aunt Li, and that she had never had any contact.
However, he still provided an exact piece of news: the ace spy in ambush in the capital, Bingsan, has his wife already pregnant.
"Lord Zhenfu already sent someone last night to follow this clue to investigate. It won't take long before the list of officials with pregnant wives in Beijing will be submitted."
While speaking, the two of them reached the entrance of the dungeon.
Seeing that the two doors were open to the left and right, revealing the dark tunnel going down, Sun Shaozong took the time to ask: "Then, did Lord Wang Xiang confess, who leaked the secret when he was in the inn?"
Yang Licai shook his head helplessly again: "He only knew that someone picked up a note at the time, reminding us that there were people from our Beizhen Fusi ambush nearby - as for who this note came from, but he didn't know."
This was also expected by Sun Shaozong.
Not to mention that the traitor in the Dragon Imperial Guard is not necessarily a member of the White Lotus Sect. Even if he is an undercover agent of the White Lotus Sect, he will definitely not take the initiative to reveal his identity at that time.
So he asked, "Where was that note, and when was it found?"
Before Yang Licai could answer, someone in the dungeon spoke up first: "It was at the end of Si Shi [close to eleven in the morning], and the location was Li Yue in the back, in a small courtyard under the bag of the White Lotus Sect—someone was using paper at the time. The bar was wrapped in stones, and the partition wall was thrown in."
While speaking, Lu Hui, who was a little haggard, came out of the dungeon.
If it weren't for the ink Jiao swallowing cloud robe, it would be decent, the scars on his face and the dark tunnel, really like a ghost crawling out of hell.
Of course, for most mid-level and low-level officials, the envoys of Beizhen Fusi are far more terrifying than evil ghosts.
"Lord Zhenfu."
Sun Shaozong and Yang Licai rushed up to greet him and bowed.
Lu Hui waved his hand casually and said, "No need to be polite. I've been asking for a long time, and I've only ruled out Zhao Jiayi and Song Xiong temporarily. The remaining three people are afraid that Sun Qianhu will be affected."
It was said that only two were excluded, but when the names of Zhao Jiayi and Song Xiong were mentioned, the scar on Lu Hui's face was a little red, and he was obviously very happy.
After all, Zhao Chiayi, as a test thousand households, can be said to be a leader brought back by Lu Hui from Jiangnan. When he was implicated in the case of a traitor, it can be said that it caused a considerable blow to Lu Hui's prestige.
Because of this, Lu Hui became more and more suspicious of Sun Shaozong.
Now that Zhao Chiayi's innocence can be proven, it is not too late to make amends.
"The duty of a lower official is not to be the word 'partial labor'."
Sun Shaozong was polite at first, and then said: "Then Zhao Wei should also be able to rule it out. Although he has approached the inn at the end of the year, someone can prove that he has never approached the backyard."
"In this way, only Zang Liang and Xu Kun are left!"
Lu Hui grinned, and immediately called out to the two general flags who were following behind him, and ordered, "Go and invite all the families of Zang Liang and Xu Kun, please treat them well, and wait until Sun Qianhu finds out the truth before making any calculations. !"
tsk~
This is obviously going to take the lives of the whole family and threaten the traitor.
To be honest, Sun Shaozong was quite a bit against the practice of holding the old and weak women and children hostages.
Right now, we can only hope that the traitor is not a merciless master, otherwise...
Sun Shaozong sighed inwardly, then cupped his hands again and said, "I also ask the adults to get the copy of the confession. It's better for the lower officials to find out what the thieves have confessed."
Lu Hui was waiting for him to check the gaps and fill the gaps. Naturally, he would not refuse. He hurriedly led Sun Shaozong to the guard room and put several confessions in front of him.
However, Sun Shaozong was not in a hurry to look at it, but first turned out the timetable arranged yesterday and put it on the table ready to compare at any time.
"correct."
Lu Hui was about to exit quietly and looked at the progress of the interrogation room, when he suddenly remembered something, stopped and praised: "The Wu Shuigen who Sun Qianhu recruited to surrender is a good material for torture of prisoners. He asked for more than half of the confessions."
This is really unintentional.
Originally, Sun Shaozong just wanted to use Wu Shuigen as a gimmick, but he never thought that because he almost wore a green hat, he would actually play a cruel hand on his original party.
And once this traitor becomes mad, he is far more ruthless than the enemy—plus Wu Shuigen has been with the White Lotus Sect for a long time, even if those thieves want to lie, it is difficult to do so.
Therefore, by coincidence, he really became a weapon for coercing confessions.
But he said that after Lu Hui left, Sun Shaozong read the confessions line by line, and read the confessions. As expected, it was the same as what Yang Licai said, mostly Northwest intelligence.
As for the news from the capital, it was lackluster.
Of course, it can't be said that there is no news about the capital at all. At least one thief under the command of Aunt Li, a part-time Cowherd, confessed a lot of secrets about the noble ladies in Beijing.
What is the wife of the waiter of so-and-so, who loves to be tied up and messed with; the widow of so-and-so is sick and leaking green juice; the mother of so-and-so's young Hanlin twice...
"what?"
He was looking speechless when a strange voice suddenly sounded outside the door. Sun Shaozong looked up, but saw a general flag holding this booklet, standing at the door and looking in.
"Lord Qianhu."
Seeing Sun Shaozong looking over, the general banner hurriedly entered the door and greeted him: "I have been ordered to present a directory to Lord Zhenfu."
directory
Sun Shaozong put the confession on the table and asked, "But the list of Beijing officials whose wife is pregnant?"
When the general flag heard the words, he bent down again, and responded with a three-pointed breath: "Exactly."
Although he was a little curious as to why he was flinching, Sun Shaozong didn't bother to delve into it. He poked his finger on the table and said, "Let's put it here first, and I'll present it to Lord Zhenfu in person later."
The general flag raised his head and glanced at Sun Shaozong in astonishment, then quickly lowered his head and said, "This... this is probably..."
"how?!"
Sun Shaozong's expression brightened, and he asked, "Could it be that Lord Zhenfu has an order not to allow me to read this directory?"
"No no no! No such thing!"
That Zongqi's frightened face turned green. If this was passed into Lu Hui's ears, it would be a crime to provoke a Shangguan, and it would not be a joke.
Therefore, he did not care about any taboos, and hurriedly presented the directory to Sun Shaozong with both hands.
Sun Shaozong took it in his hand, flipped it open, and immediately understood why this fellow was covering up. The most conspicuous character on the first page was the word 'Sun Shaozu'.
