Chapter 423: The Jedi Strikes Back
Qin Jin's face changed suddenly, which Qing Xuzi did not expect, he repeatedly assured Qin Jin that he had no collusion and rebellion, and the ambush party he offered was indeed entrusted by his dream at night. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Although the poor road came abruptly, but it is really the heart of the Tang Dynasty, the immortal in the dream once said that Qin Envoy Jun is the ...... who descended from the stars and descended to earth, specifically to save mortals such as us from the sea of war and suffering."
After staring at Qing Xuzi for a long time, Qin Jin showed a rather playful smile.
"Don't blame Qingxu Zhenren, a few days ago, the rebellious and colluded with the spies in the city to cooperate with each other, and almost even Qin's office was demolished, and the army is currently checking itself, you are late, it is inevitable that you will be listed in the list of suspicions, Chen Qianli They plan to personally pass on your teachings, Qin Mounian has a meritorious service in your sacrifice to the fire, so he personally asked on his behalf. ”
Qing Xuzi wiped the cold sweat on his head at this time, and when he faced Qin Jin at this time, he didn't dare to open his mouth anymore. He always felt that Qin Jin's eyes had a special ability to perceive people's hearts, and whenever his sharp gaze swept over, he was forced to dare not look directly at him.
This sense of oppression, which was always with him, made Qing Xuzi tense, and it seemed that only by leaving this garden and keeping a certain distance from Qin Jin would he settle down.
However, before Qin Jin could speak, he didn't even dare to move half a step easily, so he could only look at Qin Jin cautiously, waiting for his next words.
Unexpectedly, Qin Jin stopped talking, and only walked aimlessly in the garden with his hands behind his back, and Qing Xuzi followed behind him, feeling uneasy in his heart, not knowing what kind of medicine Qin Jin was selling in his gourd.
After scaring Qing Xuzi, Qin Jin immediately took it back, and before there was no conclusive evidence, he didn't want to completely tear his face with this old man, Chen Qianli and Pei Jing were in charge of self-examination in the city, once it was confirmed that this person really colluded with Cai Xide, he would never be half soft.
"I heard that the real person once refused the summons of the Son of Heaven?"
Qin Jin suddenly asked, and Qing Xuzi replied proudly: "It's really an immortal venerable dream, and it is risky to ask the poor road to go west, so he refuses to obey the edict!"
The royal family of the Tang Dynasty took Lao Tzu, who was also surnamed Li, as a distant ancestor, because Taoism had a transcendent position in the world. Qing Xuzi is not a minister, he does not obey the edict, and Li Longji will give a large reward in order to prove his respect.
Speaking of which, this was more than ten years ago, and Qingxuzi became famous in the world because of this, gaining both fame and fortune. The days of pampering and pampering came to an abrupt end until An Lushan's capture of Luoyang, when the soldiers of Shamanism and various ghosts and gods plundered the Buddhist temples scattered around Luoyang.
During the reign of Buddhism and Empress Wu, it developed greatly because of the need to suppress Buddhism and respect martial arts and depreciate Li. Buddhist monasteries have annexed a large amount of land and amassed a large amount of wealth, and many Buddhist monasteries have supported thousands of monks at every turn. In order to fill their stomachs, many poor people are even willing to shave their ordination into the temple as monks. Although this situation has been curbed somewhat after Li Longji ascended the throne, it is still slowly showing an upward posture.
The soldiers plundered the monasteries and gained a lot of wealth, and then set their sights on the Taoist temples near Luoyang.
The Taoist temple was set up in the middle of the mountains, which created a certain amount of trouble for the looting of the Tibetan soldiers. However, there were examples of looting monasteries and obtaining large quantities of gold, silver and jewelry, and Taoist temples in the mountains near Luoyang also began to suffer.
It was under these circumstances that Qing Xuzi fled Luoyang and rushed to Hedong.
Qin Jin squinted his eyes and listened to Qing Xuzi's self-description, and couldn't help but be speechless, he couldn't imagine that the two families of Buddhism and Taoism had evolved into a big landlord group in the world, and the wealth they had accumulated was far beyond imagination.
For the two families of Buddhism and Taoism being sacked by the soldiers, Qin Jin would not have the slightest sympathy.
Due to the policy of the imperial court, these two groups continued to annex land with their abundant financial resources, and neither paid taxes nor paid for forced labor...... Over time, it has become countless blood-sucking fleas hanging on Tang Dynasty's body, sucking a strong man dizzy.
In his view, there is nothing wrong with religion only preaching low-key missions. However, once money is accumulated, it will inevitably have a great negative impact on society.
Therefore, An Lushan burned, killed and looted these two blood-sucking flea groups, and Qin Jin was happy to see it, the problem was that it broke the golden rice bowl of Buddhism, and who should share it was the most important thing.
Many leading figures of Buddhism and Taoism, in order to get a piece of the pie in the new order, abandoned the Tang Dynasty and switched to Dayan.
In Qin Jin's eyes, this Qingxuzi is by no means a person with a backbone, although his eyebrows and eyes are born with a Taoist immortal state, but the eyes revealed in his eyes are familiar to Qin Jin, and it is a kind of greed that is extremely thirsty. In essence, it is no different from people like Du Qianyun.
It is precisely because of a deep understanding of Du Qianyun's personality that Qin Jin will be cautious about this Qingxuzi. This kind of speculator will have two benefits, and if there is no profit, he will share. It can only be used, not trusted.
Qing Xuzi also seems to be aware of his important position in the Shenwu Army, and he has a back hand for the configuration of gunpowder in a critical place, and when teaching apprentices, he can tuck and hide it. The key to this is that the recipe on the fire recipe is too rough, and the size of the heat from the beginning to the end of refining gunpowder, and even the size of the heat when it is fried, is completely based on experience. Therefore, after several tests, Qin Jin had to admit a reality, at present, only the gunpowder made by Qing Xuzi himself was the most sophisticated.
It is true that crude gunpowder can be used, but the power is not the same.
For these details, Qin Jin didn't want to pursue them, but after suppressing the idea that there were spies in the city, he couldn't help but ignore them. If Qingxuzi has a sentence or a word to deal with at a loss, I am afraid that he is already in a different place at this time.
Qin Jin smiled.
"Your Immortal Venerable really values Qin, so Qin is flattered!"
This was originally Qin Jin's playful and straightforward words, but Qing Xuzi immediately responded seriously:
"Qin Envoy Jun is the star who saved the crisis, and he deserves the attention of the Immortal Venerable, so he doesn't need to be flattered. However, the poor Dao, the lard was blinded, and he was showing his mind in front of the envoy, and the poor Dao would definitely teach those craftsmen carefully in the future, and he would never dare to hide his secrets anymore. ”
Qing Xuzi's words seemed to be very sincere, even Qin Jin was stunned, this is really an unexpected joy, regardless of Qing Xuzi's true feelings or falsehoods, as long as there is this attitude on the surface, it means that he is not a fool.
As for the cliché of the stars descending to the earth, Qin Jin's eyes are calloused in various TV series, only in the war against the rebels, not to achieve victory, is the only way to unite people's hearts. At that time, even if Qing Xuzi is not sincere at this time, the speculator himself will let him make the right choice.
Sent away the Qingxuzi who pretended to be a ghost, Qin Jin wanted to be quiet alone in this back garden for a while, but it was rare to have a moment of peace, Pei Jing lowered his head and walked over quickly.
Seeing Pei Jing's expression, Qin Jin knew that there must be important military information.
Sure enough, when Pei Jing was still a dozen steps away from Qin Jin, he began to say:
"The spies found that Cai Xide was building siege equipment in a secret place, maybe there will be a big move in the next two days, I don't know where he got the confidence, did he forget the pain of the car ahead?"
Originally, Qin Jin's mood was quite relaxed, but Pei Jing's words suddenly reminded him that Cai Xide was a persistent person, and he would not give up until he reached his goal, knowing that the threat of those large equipment in Dujiang County was not enough to determine the outcome of the battle, but he was still building it in secret, so there was only one conclusion, it was likely that reinforcements were invited.
Thinking of this, Qin Jin went through all the people around Jiangxian County in his heart, and Sun Xiaozhe's army was closely monitored by Huangfu Ke's army, and there was no movement until now. Then in addition, there is only one way to transfer troops from Hebei Province. However, Hebei Road is far from Jiangxian Mountain, which is far from overnight, which means that Cai Xide is accumulating strength and will attack the city as soon as reinforcements arrive.
Qin Jin's face changed, although the thunderbolt cannon was strong, it could not withstand the tactics of the sea of people, once Cai Xide filled the city with appointment at any cost, the county town of Jiang would be broken sooner or later.
The reason why Cai Xide maintained restraint at this time was because he was reluctant to have 30,000 elite descendants under his command.
After thinking for a while, Qin Jin felt that his time was running out, and he could no longer defend passively.
"It's time to take the initiative!"
Pei Jing was taken aback, and hurriedly dissuaded:
"If you don't make such a desperate bet, if you lose, there will be no room for recovery. ”
Qin Jin looked directly at Pei Jing and said word by word: "If you don't do it now, there will be no chance of winning!"
The weight of these words is too heavy, when Pei Jing rushed to report the news, he was just worried about Cai Xide's next wave of attack, but now it has become a life-and-death battle, and if he doesn't do it, he won't even have a chance to live. For a moment, he was a little difficult to accept.
"How did you get to this situation, how did you get to this situation......
The sentence was repeated several times before he recovered from his distraction, and then his gaze became firm.
"Let the king order, the long pain is better than the short pain, it's a big deal to kill a lot, and it's worth it to die!"
Pei Jing's statement made Qin Jin feel a little emotional, if this son hadn't experienced any hardships, I am afraid that he would not have such a free and easy state of mind today.
War is like this, there is never a certain rule that will win or lose, and only when life and death are disregarded can combat effectiveness be brought into full play. As for winning or losing, it is entirely up to God to decide.
Qin Jin believed that this time, God would definitely favor the Shenwu Army.
On the evening of the same day, the south gate of Jiangxian County suddenly opened, and a group of figures came out in the dark, and occasionally there were strange car-like objects coming out.
The person who took the lead was Pei Jing, who had a conversation with Qin Jin during the day, and he was ordered to be in danger this time, feeling that he was carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders, and his whole face was as cold as a statue in the night.
Outside the south gate, Cai Xide was originally a section of the siege of three missing ones, but since the last siege failed, he also sent people to monitor the city, but obviously because of the lack of manpower, the arranged people and horses seem sparse.
