Chapter 337: Soldiers Descend on Xuansu County, North Korea
The group went out and got on the horse, relying on the faint moonlight, heading towards the north of the starry night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It didn't take long. A few more knights searched for them based on the marks on the ground. The knight entered the door and saw only the corpse of a rabbit. and the horseshoe prints of the north outside the gate. Frowning, he handed over the rabbit corpse to Gao Tianxing, who was behind. Tianxing took the rabbit and took a closer look, and his heart jumped.
Hurriedly dismounted and checked the traces of the horse's hoof prints going north before saying, "Go chase it immediately, be careful." Release the pigeons so that the person in front manages to intercept. Take pen and ink. ”
A few knights pursued them along the north. Tianxing then wrote a few lines of light and handed them to his subordinates to send them to the princess. He also rode and went north.
Xue Qing slept in a daze, but was woken up by Ruhua, and when she woke up, she almost subconsciously reached under her arm and pulled out the gun. Ruhua hurriedly comforted: "Your Highness, it's a slave, it's a slave." ”
Xue Qing shook her head, saw that it was Ruhua, let go of the hand holding the handle of the gun and muttered, "What is this for, I just slept for a while, what's wrong?" ”
Ruhua handed over a bamboo tube, on which there was a seal from Gao Tianxing: "There is news from Tianxing." ”
This is unusual, they broke up at night, and there is news coming here? If it weren't for the big news, Tianxing wouldn't be so presumptuous.
Xue Qing sat up with difficulty, yawned while opening the seal, and took out the piece of paper. Ruhua took a candle and shone it for the snow.
Just glanced at it, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Nima, who is this? With such a keen eye? Revolvers have only been around for a few days? This is seen by people with a heart?
Who the hell is it? Li Ying? That's okay, kill him as soon as possible, what if it's someone else? Emperor Wu's spies? That's a circle.
Xue Qing said in a deep voice: "I won't go ashore to play tomorrow." You go to sleep. Then he burned the note.
Ruhua nodded, took the candle and walked to the front of the screen to sleep.
Xue Qing was a little upset. Do you think that those muskets, smoothbore guns, or so on back then, were like this when they invented them? Why do you have to be so annoyed when you come to the old lady?
Could it be Emperor Wu's spy? Will they be so bored to go to the river to fish for rabbits? This is really unlikely.
So in reverse, the most likely one is that Li Ying. Alas, what a talent. If you can get the Heavenly Dao to cultivate and cultivate well, the cliff is a good hand who can take charge of himself.
If it weren't for Li Ying's kid who was involved with Li Kang's father and son, Xue Qing would really have the heart to have a good chat with him. It's a shame.
The next day, the guards were still a little depressed, and thought that they could go ashore to have a good time and practice marksmanship, but they didn't expect it to be canceled inexplicably, so they could only nest on the deck and watch the supplies being brought up in a steady stream. Or look at the ants on the deck. It's a pity that there are no ants on this ship.
Xue Qing pondered, the rules for gun management still need to be strengthened. It didn't take a few days for the problem to go wrong, and it would be over time.
Seeing that he could see the point from the gun hole on a rabbit today. What if he gets a gun? If it gets to the end, Emperor Wu mobilizes his resources and pours the power of the whole country to imitate it, it may not be worse than the Heavenly Dao. After all, those core technologies will not be the same for a long time, can they still withstand thousands of experiments?
It seems that when you return to Chang'an, you have to build a basement outside the city to ensure that no sound can be worn out, oops, it's not scientific, to ensure ventilation, you must have a vent, but with an opening, how can you cover the sound.
It's still good to be in Wuling, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and you can set off artillery in Taoyuan. How to have fun and how to play.
All kinds of supplies were ready for the day. It's only afternoon. Xue Qing didn't bother to stay here, so she pulled the iron anchor up, the wind puffed up the sails, and the oars rowed, and they followed the mouth of the Huangpu River all the way east into the sea.
The sea is wide and the fish leaps high into the sky and allows the birds to fly, and there are not so many restrictions when you enter the sea. Driving out far away, looking around blankly, all around is a blue patch.
This is offshore water, and experienced boatmen can navigate in the dark without navigation. Just bypass a few reefs and islands. What's more, Tiandao's navigation technology is not bad today. It can even be navigated according to the astrology.
So he did not stop at night, but followed the coastline and headed north.
However, after two nights and one day, we arrived at the Jiaodong Peninsula. Xue Qing held a telescope and looked at the unreachable Qingdao. It's back to this place again. I also miss the seafood over there. It's a pity that the 2,000 Hu riders on the boat lie on the side of the boat every day with hemp ropes, trying in vain to catch a few crabs or something. In the end, it's nothing more than catching some seaweed.
Fortunately, the sailors cultivated by the Heavenly Dao will still have a little. In addition to sailing, I occasionally catch some seafood for Xueqing. When the clear soup is cooked, it tastes delicious.
Looking at these horsemen lying on the side of the boat, Xue Qing felt that in fact, what kind of water and soil adaptation, local habits, or something were all nonsense, why couldn't the cavalry take the boat? It's nothing more than an adaptive training, and the Navy is not born, just leave them on the ship and hang them around for three or five months. Even those who are seasick again can thread needles and threads on the deck.
What's the big deal if you don't get used to it, wouldn't it be nice to get used to it?
After Qingdao, it took just over a day to arrive in Dandong. From the sea, it is still much faster than from the shore. I wonder if those talents are coming to Peking now. Too lazy to bother with them.
Arriving in Dandong and walking inside is the Yalu River, Xueqing immediately made arrangements and commanded Wan Ziyu to take the cavalry ashore and station. and immediately got in touch with Zhao Ponu. Learn more about the situation on the ground.
At the same time, hide the fleet on a small island in the sea. Blockade the entire island and put it on high alert. After doing this, Xue Qing also went ashore, of course, not forgetting to leave some small sampans as a reserve retreat route, Li Dare ran back to the boat if he made a mistake. You're staring at the Yalu River.
Until the second half of the night, I couldn't contact Zhao Ponu, either because something was delayed, or something happened.
Wan Ziyu was a little angry. Xue Qing didn't bother to care, if Zhao Ponu had an accident, he would just return to the court and bring the trouble to the emperor.
In the middle of the night, Xue Qing fell asleep, but Ruhua came over to wake Xue Qing up and said, "Your Highness, wake up quickly." ”
Xue Qing opened her eyes and asked with difficulty, "What's the matter, Zhao Ponu is here?" ”
Ruhua shook her head: "No, but Tianxing sent someone to deliver the message, and you said that you must present it to you as soon as possible." ”
Xue Qing nodded and said, "Well, take it." ”
After receiving the information sent by Tianxing, he opened it and saw that the intelligence showed that Li Kang was very likely to know about this matter, and the vigilance of Xuanwu County at this moment was even more tense than that of the Huns coming to the city. (To be continued.) )
