Chapter 486: Entering Chang'an (5)
Jiang Chengzi took a bow and arrow to aim at the bearded man, while Li Ke used the canopy of the sky tree to deal with the eagle birds. Jiang Chengzi, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, hid behind the tree, and did not forget to communicate with the big tree for a while, saying that they were the masters of the forest, and those outsiders could not be allowed to be arrogant.
The plants didn't speak, but the next moment, a rattan jumped high and wrapped itself around the eagle eagle with its fierce wings, dragging it down stiffly. The eagle was shocked, and the thieves were also shocked.
"Cannibal trees, I've heard people say there are man-eating vines. Someone shouted in panic.
"Ah, that's amazing. This is the lord of this forest!!" Jiang Chengzi praised.
The eagle was dragged down, and a group of vines nearby tied it up. The eagle fluttered vigorously, but within a moment's effort, the eagle was entangled by the vines and strangled to death.
"Sure enough, the cannibal tree!" the man's voice was filled with fear.
"Evil words confuse the people!" a man next to him drew his sword and killed this person.
The other eagles were frightened by this, and first circled a few times, and then let one of them swoop down and try again.
This time, not only one vine jumped, but one vine leaped up, forming a tight net, which wrapped itself around the eagle eagle and dragged it into the forest in an extremely rough way.
The men saw that the second eagle bird was tightly strangled by the vines, and hurriedly picked up their knives to cut the vines. With a single sword, a vine was cut off. Jiang Chengzi heard the vine luo let out a painful sound, and she hurriedly drew her bow and arrows and shot the man to death.
The people behind wanted to move, but when they saw that Jiang Chengzi's archery skills were so good, and the vine trees here were very weird, they didn't dare to act.
And the second eagle owl was quickly strangled to death by the vines.
And at this moment, a few vines slowly came up and headed towards Jiang Chengzi and Li Ke's hideout.
Li Ke took a look at it and hurriedly asked, "Ah Zi, what are they doing, treating us as if they were in a group with the eagle eagle?"
"I don't know. Jiang Chengzi was also a little worried, she didn't feel the slightest bit of plant information at this time, she only knew that those trees were very angry. She has never been more fearful than she has ever faced in the face of thousands of troops on the battlefield, and in the face of cunning and ferocious enemies.
Plants are uncharted territory, plain and gentle, but in the mountains and forests are the world of plants, here is their kingdom. Human beings are as small as dust in front of nature.
"If they don't distinguish between good and bad, don't blame me. Li Ke held a crossbow in one hand, and took out a bamboo tube from his waist with the other.
Jiang Chengzi understood that his bamboo tube was filled with the fire oil dug up in Shu. At that time, because the flame of this oil was too weird, Jiang Chengzi decided to hide it from everyone and not report it to Chang'an.
Whether the oil is lit, attached to wood, or poured directly on the ground, as long as it burns, the flame is one by one, and the tip of the flame is purple, the middle is black, and the lower part of the flame is red.
The flame of this oil is very strange and flammable. Not only does the oil burn on dry wood, but it can quickly attach to fresh plants even if a little is poured on lush plants. The flame burned fast, like a greedy beast, and in a few moments it could burn a towering tree to the ground.
"It's weird. Jiang Chengzi exclaimed.
"It's very weird, like the legendary phoenix fire. Li Ke looked at the flames.
"Phoenix Fire, Phoenix Nirvana Fire?" Jiang Chengzi asked in surprise.
Li Ke nodded, and poured a little oil on a tree, just a little spark, and instantly ignited a raging fire. In a few moments, the tree burned to the ground.
"It's exactly like the legendary phoenix fire. Li Ke's eyebrows frowned slightly, and then he looked at Jiang Chengzi very seriously and said, "The fire left in the world by the legendary Phoenix Nirvana was later received by the underworld and became the fire of death. ”
"It's just a legend. People who have seen it must have thought it was too flammable, and they didn't know much about this oil, so they could only explain it like this. Jiang Chengzi said.
Li Ke didn't say right, nor did he deny it, but only sighed: "According to legend, a phoenix fire can burn thousands of hectares of forests." ”
"Anyway, don't tell anyone about this oil yet. Jiang Chengzi said.
She thought the oil was weird and should be left to study it carefully. Moreover, the technology that is being mined today is not enough. Moreover, she is sure that this oil will definitely bring Datang's military strength to a new level.
Such a great credit will naturally be attributed to the Gewuyuan after it is completed. Now is not the time to report.
So, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not report the oil to the imperial court. And the two of them also took a part of it with them, which was counted as self-defense.
Now, this vine is coming from two people from all directions. You Li Ke held it in his hand and said to Jiang Chengzi: "Tell them that this is a phoenix fire, which can burn the forest." ”
"Ah Nian, don't be impulsive. Jiang Chengzi said anxiously.
Although the vine was getting closer and closer, Jiang Chengzi didn't feel their killing intent very much. She tried to concentrate and meditate, and finally felt the breath of those vines.
"We are the lords of the forest and protect you. "The voices of those vines are high and low.
"Slow, it's to protect us. Jiang Chengzi whispered.
Li Ke didn't speak, the bamboo tube was still in his hand, and those vines were gently surrounded by protection, just like he had dealt with those birds before.
"Well, these two are monsters. "Those people panicked.
Suddenly, the trees of Lost Mountain shook without wind, and every tree shook vigorously and made a sound in unison. The sound was like a roaring sea, sweeping through the waves that swept the sky.
This is Lin Tao who roared, with anger that drowned everything. The trees are in patches, and the sound of the waves is getting louder and louder, forming a violent mountain wind, circling upwards. Those Haidongqing and eagle eagles flew very low because of their masters. The fierce mountain wind soared upward, causing these usually fierce birds of prey to scatter in panic and hurriedly fly higher.
The big dogs, who had been barking wildly before, seemed to be frightened now, and only let out a few low barks, clinging to the ground with their tails between their legs.
"Protect Childe. One of them shouted.
The archers also retreated, keeping only their beards in the middle, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Countless vines came and went, branches and leaves flew, and Lin Tao was violent, carrying the leaves away at a very fast speed. The thorn vines bound the big dogs and the people.
The men began to be frightened and cried out for mercy.
The sound of Lin Tao came and went, like a tsunami, and the sound echoed in the mountains, and the ups and downs spread far away. The anger of the mountains and forests made the birds and beasts in the mountains panic.
Birds and animals have lived here since childhood, and have never seen such a scene. After panicking, they fell to the ground.
The lord of the mountains and forests has the power to make all things awe!
Those eagle eagles and Hai Dongqing scattered and fled, panicking in the sky, and wailing endlessly.
"Alas, man is like a speck of dust in the presence of all things in nature. How can these people not learn to revere nature!" Jiang Chengzi sounded like a sigh, but in fact, he was using words to ridicule those who tried in vain to catch the white phoenix bird.
Lin Tao wave after wave, and then, gradually calmed down. The whole mountain was calm, and there was not a single wind. The plants that have been rooted here for thousands of years, regardless of the length of their lives, are silent here.
If it weren't for the grand Lin Tao that made everyone feel the anger of the mountains and forests, if it weren't for the thieves and the big dogs being tied to the ground, if it weren't for the two carved corpses on the ground. Jiang Chengzi also had to be suspicious of what he had just seen, but it was just a dream of Nan Ke.
"This, this is the wrath of the mountains and forests!" Li Ke also woke up like a dream, and the fire oil in his hand was carefully put away by him and put it into the package around his waist again.
The rattans that protected them slowly spread out.
Jiang Chengzi jumped down, first picked up a knife and killed the big dogs first.
Although she likes dogs, she also had dogs in her previous life, and she often dispatches military dogs when carrying out missions. But she's the one who knows right from wrong, and these big dogs are well-trained to launch the fiercest counterattacks when they see an opportunity. Moreover, the owners of these big dogs are likely to be the Turks, and these big dogs may appear on the battlefield in the future and become their dog warriors.
Now, if there is a trace of mercy, it is to disregard the lives of the people of the Tang Dynasty. It is better to have blood on your hands and carry the lives of countless enemies than to protect the peace of the country and the peace of the people.
As a soldier who performs national tasks all year round, Jiang Chengzi's considerations are naturally different from ordinary women. Once the nonsense theory that dogs are friends of human beings endangers the safety of the lives and property of the country and the people, it is particularly nonsense.
She cleanly took out the big dogs. The previous smell of blood had caused the beasts in the mountains and forests to be ready to move, and if it weren't for the anger of the mountains and forests, those white-eyed tigers would have jumped out long ago.
Now, the wind is clear, and all the fierce beasts that have just been frightened are rushing here.
Jiang Chengzi weighed the knife and said, "The texture of your weapon is still not good." ”
"You, let those trees untie us. The bearded man said stiffly.
"Those trees are not my subordinates, how can they listen to me?" Jiang Chengzi pursed his lips and looked behind the woods, where a tiger was slowly coming.
"Please, help me. The man pleaded.
"Is there any benefit in saving you?" Jiang Chengzi thought seriously. Li Ke didn't say a word, only took a bow and crossbow and carefully watched the surrounding movements.
The man hurriedly said in a stiff Central Plains dialect: "Yes, yes, I am the fifth son of the Turkic Jili Khan. You, you save me. I, I will, there will be a reward. ”
The fifth son of Jili! Jiang Chengzi couldn't help but glance at Li Ke.
Although my two brothers are hunters in the mountains, they also know that this Lost Mountain is the hinterland of the Central Plains, far away from your Turks. Even if you hunt and graze, you will never have a reason to come here. Jiang Chengzi said loudly.
"I, I'm not lying. I am the fifth son of the Turkic Jili Khan. The man's voice trembled.
"Since you are Turkic, you can enter the hinterland of my Central Plains, can you have the permission of your majesty?" Jiang Chengzi asked loudly.
"No, no. I'm hunting and lost, looking for a way out. "The other party is.
Jiang Chengzi laughed and said, "Although I am a hunter, I must not be fooled by you." Although this Lost Mountain is small, it also belongs to the Qinling Mountains, and further west is the territory of Huashan. The turbulent river, after the dangerous Tongguan, is the prosperous place of Xijing. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"
"You, you save me, I'll tell you something important. The man pleaded with the approaching tiger.
"Geely is also a generation of heroes, but he didn't expect to have such a poor son. Li Ke sarcastically.
"Yes, yes, I'm not, I'm not. "This time, this man is so sloppy in order to survive.
Jiang Chengzi also felt that he wanted to stay alive, so he looked at the group of people and said, "Since this is the case, I will save you." ”
She flew down, grabbed the vine and pulled it hard, and hung the man from the tree.
The man breathed a sigh of relief and said thank you. Jiang Chengzi landed steadily on the branch, waved his hand loudly and said, "No need. I just want to hear from you why you came here to hunt and how you got here. Therefore, you do not thank me. ”
"Childe, I, I also know why I came here to hunt, and I know a lot. You, you save me. Another man in his forties shouted. This accent is a Datang accent when you hear it.
Jiang Chengzi glanced at him, this person was the leader of another group of people.
Previously, Li Ke and Jiang Chengzi had judged that group. It is believed that more than half of them are Turkic, and the other half are Central Plains. Those Central Plains people should have led the way for these Turkic people.
Today, the man in his forties who shouted for help is the leader of this group of Central Plains people. Those elite archers were his men.
"Who are you?" Jiang Chengzi asked loudly.
"I, my name is Liang Luowu, Nai, Liang Shidu's cousin. The man stumbled.
"It turned out to be a traitor, and he also colluded with the Turks. This is a serious crime that everyone should be punished for. Jiang Chengzi pointed out mercilessly.
"No, it's not me. It was my cousin who daydreamed of rebelling against the Tang Dynasty. I, I'm forced. The man began to cry, and the tigers had gathered to watch the surroundings. Originally, the tigers were about to pounce a long time ago, but Jiang Chengzi suddenly came to the rescue, and those tigers began to weigh the danger in front of them again, so for a while, they didn't move forward, only stared around.
But this kind of eyeing is the most frightening in people's hearts. Although this Liang Luowu was born in a strong place, he is also from a big family. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and he also followed Liang Shidu to fight in the south and the north, which can be regarded as a military background.
But this person is really greedy for life and afraid of death, so he doesn't want his dignity and face, and he goes straight to Jiang Chengzi.
"Oh, how did you get persecuted?" Jiang Chengzi asked leisurely, sitting on a tree branch.
"My whole family is in the hands of Master Liang. He began to cry, "I have come out to fight, but if there is any misdeeds, my family will die." ”
"It looks like I was forced. Jiang Chengzi looked at Li Ke, who had been watching the play next to him.
Li Ke nodded and said very seriously: "It sounds like he was forced, and it was miserable." ”
"That saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter. Do we want to make a good relationship?" Jiang Chengzi, who had just dropped the big knife that killed the big dog, said here that he had a good relationship, and he was serious.
Li Ke agreed even more seriously: "It should be so." ”
When Liang Luowu heard this, he hurriedly complimented them on being good people. He must know everything, and he will repay them. And he thought in his heart: It's just two stinking children, even if they have some ability. As long as he is free and safe, he can definitely take them.
"But-" Jiang Chengzi seemed to be thinking deeply, and didn't listen to Liang Luowu's compliment at all.
"But what?" asked Li Ke gently.
"He has been threatened by that Liang Shidu for a long time, is it only when Liang Shidu is gone, can we really save him?" Jiang Chengzi asked innocently.
Li Ke thought about it seriously, as if after deep thought, he replied: "Ah Zi's thoughts are far-reaching, and that's exactly the case. ”
"Then it's settled. Jiang Chengzi laughed happily, then jumped down, pulled Liang Luowu up, and hung him on a tree.
