"To be exact, it's the current 'military.'"

Qi Ling first took the candlestick and walked into a secret room familiarly, and after a while, he came back with a first-aid kit for the marching army.

Fu Qi Jinzhi sat at the stone table, and Qi Lingxian said slowly while taking out daggers, alcohol, knife wound medicine, fine cotton bandages and other items from the first aid kit.

"The 'military' now?" Qi Jinzhi's mind cleared up a little, and he quickly found the hint in his father's words, "You, referring to Xiao Daozong's father and son?!" ”

Qi Ling didn't raise his head to continue to deal with his son's wounds, but he answered, "It's Xiao Daozong." ”

There is no mention of Xiao Gang, that is, although this person is Xiao Daozong's biological son, he has not yet entered the center of power.

Qi Jinzhi thought about it intently, forgetting the injury on his shoulder for a while, except for some convulsions of his body's instinct, he didn't react.

"Father, you just said 'now'? Could it be that there is still a 'military' in the 'past'? Qi Jinzhi quickly thought of another important point.

Qi Ling was born in the army, and he was very skilled in dealing with external injuries, and in a few words, he had already pulled out the arrow, and then quickly sprinkled medicine and wrapped it on the wound.

"That's right, in the past, oh no, it should be the real 'military' that refers to the twenty-eight tiger generals of that year."

Qi Ling first packed up the first-aid kit, glanced at the stone bench that was more than half empty, and said inexplicably: "The tyranny of the previous dynasty, the people of the world were unwilling to suffer from it, and they rose up one after another. There are seven hundred and forty-nine rebel armies that can be counted. ”

Qi Gaozu was only one of the stronger ones.

After years of conquest, Qi Gaozu either defeated, or appeased, or annexed more than 30 rebel armies, and the leaders of these rebels survived the battle array is the famous 28 tiger generals in later generations.

"We, our Qi family is also the leader of the rebel army of the uprising?" Qi Jinzhi was a little dumbfounded, saying that this was different from what he heard, "Isn't the ancestor of the family, isn't he the righteous son of the great grandfather?" ”

In fact, what he wants to say more is, isn't the Qi family from mud legs? The ancestors have been poor peasants for several generations, if they hadn't hugged Qi Gaozu's thigh, and said that the high-ranking officials in the future would have been generous, the whole family would have starved to death when they were hungry.

How did he become the leader of the rebels again?

Even in the history books, there is no relevant record.

Qi Jinzhi's mind was completely messed up.

"Hehe, the twenty-eight tiger generals are indeed the righteous sons or sworn brothers of Grandpa Gao. You don't want to think about it, there are so many heroes in the world, why did Grandpa Gao only accept these twenty-eight people? ”

Sitting opposite the Qi father and son was the British father and son.

The injury of the British prince was also dealt with almost equally, and the British prince had the heart to gossip with the juniors.

...... "What you said makes sense, but I am speechless."

Qi Jinzhi choked for a moment, yes, to put it ugly, if it weren't for the twenty-eight tigers, there would be value to be recruited, even if it was to be a grandson of Grandpa Gao, no one would want it.

After a while, Qi Jinzhi came to his senses, and was about to ask his father a few more words, when he heard the British Duke on the other side say again: "However, your Qi family is one of the few variables among the twenty-eight tiger generals. ”

Variable?

Qi Jinzhi's inspiration flashed, and he blurted out: "Are you saying that one of my ancestors married two wives?" ”

There was a touch of appreciation in the eyes of the British duke, and he smiled: "You kid is good, your head is quite bright." It's much better than some of our 'military' fools. ”

For some reason, Qi Jinzhi always felt that the British public meant something else. That, the "foolish worm" in his old man's mouth can't be the ancestor of the Qi family, right?!

The British Duke seemed to understand Qi Jinzhi's secretly rubbing heart, and said: "That's right, the one in your family was really a little confused back then. Alas, our 'military' and the royal family are both allies and rivals. The bird is hidden in the bow, the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooking, hum! ”

The twenty-eight tiger generals are not all mud-legged and coarse people who don't know a single word, and there are also many people who have read books and are sober and intelligent.

Although Qi Gaozu made several wishes with his righteous son and brothers to "share wealth and prosperity", with the increase of the territory under his feet, his "imperial domineering" became more and more obvious.

The thoughtful people among the twenty-eight tiger generals realized their own danger and were worried that Qi Gaozu would turn their faces after the establishment of the new dynasty, so they began to connect and form alliances among the old brothers, in order to form a force that was enough for Qi Gaozu not to dare to wantonly kill them.

Although the other tiger generals have not read the book and don't know the twists and turns, at least they still understand the truth - a piece of flatbread, is it better for one person to eat, or twenty-nine people to eat?

“…… After some negotiations, the Twenty-Eight Tigers will finally reach a unified alliance of interests, because we are all soldiers and have military power in our hands, so we are called 'military'. ”

Qi Ling took over the words of the British Duke first and continued, "However—"

At first, the twenty-eight tiger generals were still able to work together with one heart and one mind driven by a sense of crisis, and they also formed a rather powerful force, and Qi Gaozu did not dare to make a move after winning the world.

But as time passed, Qi Gaozu gradually infiltrated, divided and disintegrated little by little, and finally opened up one gap after another, and most of the families of the twenty-eight tiger generals were wiped out one by one.

"Our Qi family is the first one that Grandpa Gao collapsed."

The corners of Qi Lingxian's mouth were full of bitterness, and he said in a low voice: "My father once said that my grandfather did not regret his original choice, but at that time he was really in a dilemma, knowing that it was a trap, he had to jump. ”

“…… Grandpa Gao seized the best opportunity, you are all in the family, alas, it's a pity! ”

The British Duke was silent for a long time, and Fang sighed. In fact, his father also discussed with him, if his wife disappeared back then, and he searched for it in vain, could he refuse Grandpa Gao's marriage?

The answer is no, after all, the great grandfather at that time was still a well-minded and virtuous hero, and there was no trace of arbitrariness, domineering, or coldness.

It was the 28 Tigers who would form an alliance with the 'military', and it was also many years later, when a new dynasty was about to be established.

At that time, who would have doubted that Grandpa Gao had started the layout so early?

The Qi family has two wives, one wife is from the military, and the other wife is from the royal family, which is destined to become a breaking brick for the royal family to break the military alliance.

"I don't know if Grandpa Gao has the slightest affection for the Qi family, or if he is afraid of the Qi family's gunpowder, and he didn't have the first killer to attack the Qi family,"

Qi Lingxian said with a slight mockery, "The first one to be liquidated is Lu Guogong, followed by the ...... of Weibei Hou."

"Alas, in less than a hundred years, the twenty-eight tiger generals have either raided their families and exterminated their families, or seized the title and demoted their posts, and now there are only four of us left."

Old man Zhao Guogong Gu came over at some point, glanced at the empty secret room, and sighed lowly.

"Fortunately, we have learned wisely and have not put all our forces in the open. Over the years, although our family has also had ups and downs, it has not hurt our muscles and bones. ”

UK public channel.

Qi Jinzhi and a few juniors had already been fascinated by it, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but nod.

They are all the heirs of their respective families, and although they can't be said to know all about the secrets of the family (at least they have never heard of what the elders just said), they still know the strength of the family.

Let's take the Qi family, which has been deprived of the title in recent years, on the bright side, the Qi family has two rooms, one death and one dismissal, and it has long been out of officialdom. The military power in his hands was also recaptured by the imperial court.

But in fact, there is the shadow of the Qi family everywhere in the southwest camp.

The imperial court wants to completely erase the Qi mark on the Southwest Daying, and it is estimated that it will not succeed in thirty or fifty years.

Not to mention, back then, Qi Jin released Wumeng, firstly, the Qi family took the initiative to seek, and secondly, it was also a concession that the imperial court had to make in order to stabilize the southwest.

Because today's saints are not sure that Ma Hanze can control the southwest camp, even if Ma is Qi Jinzhi's own uncle.

This is the case with the Qi family, and the same is true for the patriotic family that has been robbed of military power.

There are also the Gu family and the Yang family.

These four families have given up their military power on the surface, but secretly, they firmly control the four major battalions.

"The four major princes are low-key and secretly exerting their efforts, while today's saints are generous and benevolent in the open and pressing step by step in secret, and over the years, the two sides have formed a delicate balance."

Old Man Gu still spoke more elegantly.

Qi Jinzhi secretly rolled his eyes, and said in his heart: Your old man just said directly, now the royal family and the military are dogs biting hedgehogs.

"It's just that our saint is bent on imitating Grandpa Gao, how can we watch the Four Great Princes' Mansion go free?" Wei Guogong, who had never spoken, said coldly.

Qi Jinzhimu's interface said: "So, Xiao Daozong appeared? ”

The sage wanted to mix sand into the military like Grandpa Gao, but the water like an iron bucket of the four major princes could not be splashed, and in desperation, he had no choice but to bring out a representative of the 'military' by himself.

"It's a pity that the saint overlooked one point, that is, man's greed is infinite."

Qi Lingxian shook his head, and his voice was slightly mocking, "Xiao Daozong was originally a down-and-out sect, he had read some military books and knew a few kung fu, if he didn't have the support of the saint, he would be a petty officer at most." However, the sage gave people, money and opportunities, and insisted on praising Xiao Daozong, and really attracted a group of rookie generals in the army, who had some strength in Gyeonggi. ”

is still the same sentence, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, Xiao Daozong has military power in his hands, so he wants a higher status.

"He—is he really going to rebel?"

Qi Jinzhi muttered. the saints of today and ascend the throne as an emperor yourself?!

"Good, stupid!" Qi Jinzhi wondered, where did Xiao Daozong get the confidence to dare to rebel with the little soldiers in his hand?

Even if the saint and the Four Great Princes are stumbling, there is no chance for Xiao Daozong to be a fisherman.

……

"Idiot! What a daring, delusional idiot! ”

In the imperial study, a saint dressed in bright yellow clothes walked around in a hurry, and scolded incessantly: "How dare he? He really wanted to rebel? ”

After planning for so long, the sage finally found an opportunity to take down the Four Great Princes in one fell swoop, but was reflexively bitten by the dog he raised.

"Saint, saint, Xiao, General Xiao, oh no, it's Xiao Rebellious's soldiers and horses who have already rushed into the outer city, and they are about to attack the inner city."

The white fat chief chamberlain said tremblingly, his well-maintained round face was pale at the moment.

He is not a person who has never seen wind and waves, but this time, it is too dangerous. In the entire Forbidden Palace, there are only more than 1,000 Praetorian Guards who can be used, but there are 30,000 or 40,000 people under Xiao Daozong's command.

What's important is that since the incident, the Forbidden Palace has lost contact with the outside.

The sage's most trusted princess Changning and Commander Zhao were gone.

At this moment, the imperial city seems to be an isolated island surrounded by heavy surrounding, the concubines in the harem have long been in chaos, and the chamberlains and palace maids have also fled for their lives.

Coupled with the overcast clouds and lightning and thunder, the chief chamberlain only felt that he was in a desperate situation, and there was no hope.

"Smack!"

The saint was so distraught that he couldn't see the trembling appearance of the chief attendant, so he reached out and threw a teacup and smashed it on his head.

"Useless minion, what are you panicking about? It's just a Xiao Daozong, just a clown who jumps off the beam, and it's worth your fuss? ”

The sage paused suddenly, listened to the shouting and killing sounds and noises not far away, and snorted coldly, "I have long known that Xiao Daozong is not credible, and I have long left my back hand, you just wait, within half an hour, Xiao Thief and his rebellious will be ambushed-"

As he spoke, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, accompanied by the sound of swords colliding with armor.

The saint's expression moved, "It's coming." Changning is here! ”

Sure enough, as soon as the saint sat back in the imperial case, Master Miaozhen, who was dressed in a military uniform, walked in. She was followed by a dozen or so heavily armed guards.

"Changning, you're finally here. Great, did you bring all the shadow guards with you? A total of 1,416 people? ”

The saint held back his excitement and said as calmly as he could.

God knows how long he's been waiting for this moment?

The Four Great Mansions, the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and the damn shadow guard, today, he has to control them all in his own hands.

If you really can't control it, then destroy them all!

Master Miao Zhen looked at the saint fixedly, "One thousand four hundred and sixteen people? Hehe, sure enough, I can't hide anything from the royal brother. ”

The saint was stunned for a moment, and met the cold eyes of Master Miaozhen, and then realized that he had said the wrong thing.

How many people do he even know about the shadow guard, and this is not clear to tell people that he has long been worried about other people's subordinates?

"Heh, hehe, Changning, don't get me wrong, I, I don't care about you."

The saint can't admit that he wants the shadow guard in the hands of Master Miaozhen, if he says it, it's strange that Miaozhen doesn't turn his face with him.

Now is the time to employ people, and the saint still expects the shadow guard to fight against Xiao Daozong and other anti-thieves, where can he dare to fall out with Miao Zhen at this juncture?

"Concerned? Ha, the royal brother really cares about me. ”

Miao Zhen sneered: "Sending Jin Yiwei to infiltrate for twenty years, under the guise of me, privately dispatched the shadow guard to assassinate the Qi family, and now I want to use my shadow guard to charge into battle, when you pacify Xiao Yi and the cannon fodder of the Four Great Mansions?" ”

The saint's face changed, and he realized that it was not good, "You, you know everything?" Is it Zhao Geng? ”

He knew that Miaozhen might not be with him, but he never dreamed that Zhao Geng would betray.

"Yes, it's not."

Seeing that the saint's face was getting more and more ugly, Miao Zhen stretched out his hand and beckoned back, "Come out." ”

The saint narrowed his eyes and looked at the door, and a moment later two familiar figures appeared in sight.

"Yes, it's you!" A dull ache in the saint's chest.

The identity of the person who came was a little surprised in his expectation, "Prince, you, you actually-"

"Sage, abdicate!"

Zhao Geng knelt down respectfully, but said rebellious words in his mouth.

The sage's gaze kept turning around the crown prince and Zhao Geng, and finally fell on Master Miaozhen, "Changning, you promised your father!" ”

Master Miaozhen's expression remained unchanged, and his tone remained indifferent, "I did promise the emperor that I would protect the Xiao royal family and protect the Xiao family. It's just that, Brother Huang, what is the difference between you being the emperor and the crown prince being the emperor to me? I assisted the crown prince to ascend the throne, isn't it still the Xiao family to be the emperor? And where did you break my oath? ”

The saint's body stiffened, and he looked at Miaozhen in a daze, "You really hate me." "They used to be such close brothers, sisters, and comrades-in-arms.

"The revenge of killing women is not shared."

Master Miao Zhen squeezed the words out from between his teeth, "You took my only child, I took your dragon chair, it couldn't be fairer." Isn't it?! ”

The saint and Miao Zhen looked at each other for a long time, and finally collapsed on the dragon chair in despair.

Defeated, he was defeated. The trusted sister, the most valued eagle dog, and the prince who had high hopes teamed up to betray him, what else could he say.

"Today, the Four Great Mansions—"

However, the saint remembered the plan he had been planning for many years, and he was silent for a long time, and still said dryly.

"Although my father can rest assured, the imperial power is supreme, and no one can shake it, not even the four major princes!"

Seeing that the sage had already admitted defeat, the prince's tense nerves finally relaxed, he looked into his father's eyes and said firmly.

"Alright, alright, then I'll leave it to you."

Handing over the jade seal of the country, the saint staggered and was supported by the fat chief attendant, and the background was so lonely.

Tick, tick......

Wow –

Large raindrops fell from the sky, and soon a curtain of rain formed and eventually turned into a torrential downpour.

"Commander Zhao is right, today is indeed a thunderstorm that has not been encountered in a century."

The prince looked at the pouring rain outside the imperial study and said to Zhao Geng with a smile.

Zhao Geng replied in a sneer, and said in his heart: Where did I say this, it was clearly said by the unconscious daughter-in-law at home. Alas, I don't know what evil this woman has fallen into, and she always says some strange things.

Fortunately, he had already asked his son to quietly dispose of her, otherwise, such a woman would sooner or later cause trouble in the family.

"Auntie, do you think gunpowder can still exert its power in such weather?"

The Qi family's biggest reliance is gunpowder, once gunpowder can no longer be used, hehe, the four major princes are really not to be afraid.

Oh, no, there are also the sea boats of the Xiao family of the Duke of Wei Guo and the granary of the Yang family of the British Gongyang.

"It's hard to say. I'm not familiar with gunpowder. But I'm familiar with Gu Jialuo, and I always feel that their family seems to have a backhand. ”

Since the saint left the imperial study, Miao Zhen's expression was a little faint. Xu is that the long-cherished wish of many years has finally been achieved, and maybe it is to take care of the past feelings, seeing the saint fail, Miao Zhen doesn't know what it feels like in his heart.

"Backhand? What's the back hand? Isn't my aunt referring to the military's small island overseas? ”

The prince is worthy of being the one who can move to his father, and he actually knows a lot of secrets.

"The military has secret bases overseas, which can be regarded as one of their backs, but this should not be their biggest reliance."

Miao Zhen was in a complicated mood and didn't want to say more, "I have done what I promised you, and I hope that what you promised me can be done." ”

"Auntie, rest assured, the shadow guard is your personal guard, and you will never get involved. In addition, if the four great powers were willing to surrender, Lone would not be wiped out. ”

The prince smiled very sincerely, and his promise was even more crisp.

Miao Zhen glanced at the prince, didn't say anything, and led his people to turn around and leave.

The prince saw Miaozhen and the others leave, and immediately turned around and paced to the back of the imperial case, rolled up the sleeves of his robe and sat on the dragon chair, looking at the jade seal that symbolized power, and was full of pride, and a royal domineering spirit emanated from the inside out.

……

"Mother, everyone is here, let's go quickly."

Gu Jialuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the servants had already brought Qi Minzhi, Qi Hengzhi, Hu Shi and the others.

"Well, let's go. The pursuers from behind came over. ”

Seeing that a pair of children were safe, the lord of Qinghe County was secretly relieved, and hurriedly beckoned the nurse to hug the happy twins, got into the carriage, and followed Qi Yanzhi to the outside of the city.

"Mother, sister-in-law, what are you afraid of, don't we have firearms in our house? Kill these thieves! ”

Qi Minzhi saw that his mother and sister-in-law were both solemn, and said nonchalantly.

And as soon as she finished speaking, she heard the ticking sound from the roof of the carriage.

"Oh no, it's raining!"

Qi Yanzhi rode a horse to lead the way, and the raindrops fell on his body, and he couldn't help but change his face.

Then the pursuers behind also found out, and shouted excitedly: "It's raining, it's raining heavily, and the Qi family's firearms can't be used." Brothers, hurry up and catch up, catch the Qi family, and get a reward for meritorious service! ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately became happy, and one by one they desperately beat the horses under their crotches and chased after them.

Seeing that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, Qi Yan was so anxious that he pulled out the treasure knife at his waist, wanting to rush to the back to intercept it.

"Second master, slow down."

Gu Jialuo poked his head out of the car window and called out to Qi Yanzhi.

"Sister-in-law, do you have a good plan to retreat from the enemy?"

Qi Yanzhi knew that Gu Jialuo was not an ordinary woman, and there must be a reason why he called him.

Gu Jialuo smiled slightly, "It's not a good strategy, I just want to play a little trick with them." ”

Who said you can't set fires and light guns in the rain?

She wanted to give a look at those pursuers (to be exact, the royal family in the palace) and let them know that the Qi family not only had firearms, but also more powerful weapons.

"Shiso, give me the porcelain vase!"

Gu Jialuo turned his head and said to Zisu.

Shisu was holding a two-foot-long wooden box in his arms, and when he heard this, he hurriedly opened the box and carefully took out a white porcelain bottle.

The bottle was about a long bunch long, with a wooden stopper on its mouth. With a slight shake, there is also the sound of liquid flowing inside.

But the perilla didn't dare to shake it, his own master said, there is something in it, the toxicity is very domineering, and if you accidentally spill it, it will kill you.

Gu Jialuo took the bottle, opened the cork, and poured the liquid inside on the ground outside through the car window.

By this time, the rain had already soaked the ground, and the liquid was poured on it, forming patches of oil.

Gugaro poured two more bottles of liquid, and finally took out a piece of cotton cloth and poured all the remaining liquid at the bottom of the bottle on it.

The carriage was still moving rapidly, the pursuers were in hot pursuit, and the horse at the front had already stepped on the ground covered with oil splashes.

"Sister-in-law, what is this, why does it smell so bad?"

Qi Yanzhi looked at it in a daze, almost forgetting the pursuers who were getting closer and closer.

Gu Jialuo didn't speak, lit the cotton cloth with a fire fold, and quickly threw it out of the window.

"Boom~~"

Not far behind the carriage, a fire suddenly ignited, and the pursuers were caught off guard, and the horses were frightened by the fire and threw people off directly. The first one was directly drowned in the sea of fire.

"Ah~~"

"It's on fire! Help me! ”

"Come on, come and save me!"

The people in the carriage were stunned, and no one could believe that such a fire could be lit in such a heavy rain.

The most important thing is that the fire is very weird, and the heavy rain can't extinguish it.

"Sister-in-law, this-"

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up. Let's go to Zhuangzi outside the city, and soon the master and the master will come to meet us. ”

Gu Jialuo didn't explain much, clapped his hands with a smile, and said in his heart: What is this? If it hadn't rained, the old lady would have given them a dust explosion.

"Sister-in-law, aren't we going to the dock?" Qi Yan was stunned.

It's not the same as saying yes. The original escape route was to go to Tongzhou and then take a boat to a small island off the coast.

"No, let's go to Zhuangzi, I have already passed the book to the uncle Feige, he understands."

Just now she received the news that there has been a great change in the palace, the prince has succeeded in forcing the palace, and a new owner has been replaced, although there is still a crisis in the four major mansions, it is not big.

Because the crown prince first ascended to the throne, if he wants to completely control the court, I am afraid it will take more than ten or twenty years.

And the Qi family, without firearms, as well as weapons such as fire oil and explosive bombs, is still a jealous existence of the imperial court!
