Chapter 143: Secret
Xia Yuzhi and Murong Wei came down the mountain, it was almost noon, it was still Murong Wei in a soft sedan chair, Xia Yuzhi walked beside him, and the two returned to Qinglian Terrace by the same way. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
There were attendants who had been waiting for the two of them, and when they saw the princess's Luan, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and then replied that the injured person yesterday had already awakened and insisted on seeing the eldest princess.
Looking at the depth of Xia Yu's eyes, knowing that he had too many suspicions, Murong Wei didn't have to ask him to avoid it, so he asked him to go with him to investigate Gu Chenxiao's injury.
Xia Yuzhi sent the waiters in the room, put a rose chair in front of Gu Chenxiao's bed, and invited Murong Wei to sit down, and then he started to lift the hanging green gauze curtain and hang it on the UBS Ruyi tent hook, revealing Gu Chenxiao's slightly haggard face.
Gu Chenxiao was lying on the bed weakly, his face was still pale due to excessive blood loss, but his complexion was much better than last night. The little eunuch had already groomed him, changed into a clean middle coat, and shaved the stubble off his face, revealing a smooth and gentle face.
Xia Yuzhi looked at it silently, Gu Chenxiao's beauty and nobility seemed to be infiltrated in his bones, and even a simple smile was like a warm sun, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't match the god of war Shura uploaded in the Di newspaper.
Xia Yuzhi sullenly handed over the pillow and told Gu Chenxiao to lie down more comfortably.
Gu Chenxiao thanked him, and then sat half-lying, looking at Murong Wei who was sitting on the side, revealing a clear and clean smile.
His smile was as calm as the first snow, and as bright as the morning sun, brightening Murong Wei's eyes: "Thank you Eldest Princess for saving Chen Xiao's life." ”
Even the person brought in by Murong Wei is naturally not afraid of revealing his identity. Gu Chenxiao calmly reported his name, his face was frank.
Although he is injured, he is still not in a hurry between his words and deeds, he is as detached as a green bamboo and a pine tree, and he has more extravagance in his bones. Xia Yuzhi had to admit that what the eldest brother said was good, His Royal Highness King Ning was really a person.
It's just that such a character, if it is a friend, everything will be fine, if it is an enemy, why not destroy it now. Xia Yu thought about it for a while, and his body exuded a killing intent.
People who practice martial arts are extremely sensitive to the flow of air around them, and Xia Yuzhi's killing intent at that moment did not escape Gu Chenxiao's perception. In order to dispel his hostility, Gu Chenxiao gave a reasonable explanation for his sudden appearance in Xixia, and also exposed the greater secret of Yuping Mountain before the two of them.
When the soldiers destroyed Da Ruan, Gu Chenxiao captured a high-ranking official of Da Ruan. This person knows very well that the Da Ruan royal family and Prince Kangnan colluded in private, and it was a dead end if it fell into the hands of Emperor Kangnan. He didn't ask Gu Chenxiao to let him go, and was willing to cut himself to save the lives of his wife and children.
In exchange, he confided in the secrets passed down by his ancestors, one of which was related to Xixia.
Gu Chenxiao said: "That person worships the position of the right prime minister of Da Ruan, and what he said should be true. He said that his ancestors handed down that there was a large amount of unmined copper and tin ore in Yuping Mountain in Xixia, which was enough to cover as much as half of Kangnan, and there seemed to be secrets in Yuping Mountain that he did not know. ”
Copper tin ore can be smelted into bronze, which is used to make weapons in large quantities. In these years, Xixia was at a military disadvantage because of the lack of mines, but fortunately there was a lot of silver, and Emperor Jian'an allowed them to buy horses every year to make up for the lack of weapons.
When a man is about to die, his words are good. The man swore by the lives of his wife and son, and every word he said was true. Gu Chenxiao released his wife and children as agreed, and with his attitude of believing it, he decided to sneak into Xixia quietly and come to explore the mineral deposits of Yuping Mountain in person.
Da Ruan's first battle was originally his father's own ambition and gave him several times Da Ruan's male soldiers, but he didn't expect that he didn't take anything, and only used the private soldiers of Ning Wangfu.
Gu Chenxiao originally wanted to give the crown prince and brother a deterrent and less of the idea of beating himself and his mother. Who would have thought that because he was in the limelight, he became famous in the army, and because of his father's lavish reward, his half-brother Gu Zhengnuo made a killing move.
Although he had already been made a prince, Gu Zhengnuo was always afraid that his seat would not be stable, he was flustered, and with the support of the queen mother and the queen's mother, he chased and killed Gu Chenxiao who sneaked into Xixia.
Gu Chenxiao brought few people on this trip, Gu Zhengnuo made another bloody investment, and as soon as the two clashed, Gu Chenxiao was at a disadvantage. Fortunately, someone from the Xixia royal family came to Yuping Mountain, so he made this decision with the guards, and the guards led people away, and he broke into Yuping Mountain alone, saving his life first.
Gu Zhengnuogui is the prince of Kangnan, he always has to plan for the back road, and he can't kill people openly in Xixia, seeing that the Xixia guards have discovered their whereabouts here, they have to retreat first.
Gu Chenxiao walked forward with an injury, and he didn't want to meet Murong Wei by chance.
Gu Chenxiao's spirit was not good, and he was a little tired after a little talk, and the medicine added the ingredient of sleep. He whispered sorry and closed his eyes slightly.
Seeing this, Murong Wei stood up, took the door with Xia Yuzhi, and instructed the little eunuch in the door to serve the injured to recuperate, and he had a great idea in his heart, and wanted to consult with Xia Yuzhi.
Xia Yuzhi saw that Murong Wei's eyes were bright and flashing, and she didn't know what she remembered, but she kept thinking about the copper and tin ore that Gu Chenxiao said.
If Xixia has such a large amount of mineral deposits, he will choose skilled craftsmen to forge weapons, and over time, he will raise successful and majestic war horses. At that time, Xixia soldiers will be strong and strong, so they don't have to look at the faces of Jian'an and Kangnan, and they will be able to compete in the Central Plains.
The more Xia Yuzhi thought about it, the more beautiful it became, because this news actually eliminated a lot of hostility towards Gu Chenxiao.
cheered up and followed Murong Wei to discuss matters in the study, fearing that her sister would worry, so she sent someone to talk to Xia Lanxin, and then she withdrew from everyone and closed the doors and windows of the study strictly.
Murong Wei walked to the kang table excitedly, poured warm tea from the teapot, drank two large cups first, and moistened the throat of the cool breeze all morning, and then couldn't wait to speak: "Yuping Mountain has never been simple, and it is not only the hollow belly of the mountain that I said. Gu Chenxiao heard that there were copper and tin mines in the mountains, and nine times out of ten it was not groundless. ”
The 100,000 army led by Su Duhan back then was a real sword, and listening to the gentle narration, those sharp weapons reflected the sun brightly, glowing with cold sword light.
Due to the lack of minerals and the lack of smelted weapons in Xixia, the army's ration was very limited. Su Duhan can hide the army, but he can't hide the weapons and supplies of the 100,000 army.
Murong Wei deeply suspected that Su Duhan must still have a place for forging and smelting, and the senior official of Da Ruan pointed out that there were still secrets in Yuping Mountain, and it was difficult to guarantee that these things were not hidden in those hollow valleys.
The Su family sat in Jiangyin and chose a place so close to Yuping Mountain, not necessarily because there were mines in the mountains. However, I can't look for it with great fanfare, and I have been working for nothing for about these years, and I am still busy.
Or maybe they already have eyebrows, so they asked their aunt three times and twice to send their uncle's tablet back to their ancestors. (To be continued.) )
