Draw the Sword (5)

In the dark night, several figures flashed into Jianning County along the broken city wall. There were almost no pedestrians on the streets, and the cloud boards of the groomers beat lonely, reminding people to close their doors and windows and beware of thieves and candles.

At the mouth of a secluded alley, there is a tavern doorknocker that is gently knocked, "Papa, papa, papa, papa", with a certain rhythm, like the beat of a ghost dancing.

"Who", the tavern owner asked, lighting a lantern and whispering in the courtyard.

"I, the one who delivered the tofu, the tofu you ordered the morning before yesterday," the knocker replied in a rough voice. The door opened, and several dark figures flashed into the courtyard and broke into the house. The owner of the tavern probed his head around the street and closed the door. Uneasy, a huge stone was brought in and put the gate on top.

"Brother Zhao is very skilled, such a big stone can still be moved", entering the house, the man in black said in a low voice, not knowing whether to compliment the master or mockery.

"Let the brothers laugh, old rule, please show the tofu cubes first", the owner of the house smiled and saluted a few men in black, stretched out his hand, and reached out in front of the leading man in black.

The black-clothed man who led the team nodded, took out a two-inch square white marble waist plate from his waist, and put it in the hand of the owner of the house. The owner of the house took the jade plaque and kept changing angles under the lamp until he could see the red thread hidden between the patterns, and then returned the jade plaque. Immediately after that, he took out a similar jade plaque from his waist and handed it over.

Several black-clothed people took out the same jade plaque in turn and handed it to the homeowner for inspection. Each other, meticulously checked.

It is a white marble that is a specialty of the north, and it is engraved with tigers, leopards, wolves, jackals and all kinds of animals, representing the identity of the holder. With this jade plate, they mobilized the stagecoach and sent the information in their hands to wherever they wanted.

"It turned out to be Brother Qian, Third Brother Sun, and Li Er in charge, disrespectful, disrespectful", the owner surnamed Zhao smiled and ordered someone to bring tea and snacks to satisfy the hunger of a few people in black. Everyone's names and surnames are obviously fake, and they don't know each other, and they don't ask much about each other.

"Brother Xie Zhao, we're welcome. If you have meat, it's better to cut it into two plates, the road is not very smooth, and everyone is hungry when they go over the mountains and mountains." The black-clothed leader unceremoniously grabbed his heart, stuffed it into his mouth, and said as he ate.

"Okay, I'll let the kitchen see if there's any leftover sauce horse meat, and cut some for everyone first", the owner walked out with a smile, turned back after a while, and brought some side dishes. After a while, the man brought two large plates of horse meat and a jar of wine, and gently placed them on the dining table.

Several men in black sat down in turn, taking meat to satisfy their hunger. Next to the liquor house, but no one moved.

The owner picked up the teapot, sat down at the table, poured everyone a cup of tea, and toasted it himself. Then, he asked the man in black who led the team, "Brother Qian, you have come thousands of miles, can the road be smooth?" ”

"Smooth birds, Chen hanging-eyed people pass through the state, stirring up peace everywhere. A few times we had an encounter with his horse team, and we almost got started. A man in black surnamed Cao muttered, "If it weren't for the fact that everyone rushed over, they wouldn't have let those thieves be so arrogant, they ......."

"Whisper, this is the territory of the Broken Army", the leader surnamed Qian rolled his eyes and blocked the unfinished words surnamed Cao back into his stomach.

Probably suffocating uncomfortably, the man in black surnamed Cao picked up the tea, swallowed two sips desperately, and stopped talking. The rest of the men in black greeted each other with their eyes, and it seemed that they had had had enough of the sternness of the leader surnamed Qian along the way.

Seeing this, the homeowner hurriedly diverted the topic by pouring tea. The most important thing in the line of dry eyeliner is unity, once the brothers are separated, everyone will go to the point of no return. "Brothers, eat slowly, the kitchen is still there. A few days ago, there was a war outside the city, and afterwards the thieves dealt with the injured horses at a low price. I bought one, killed it, got it all up, and waited for my brothers to come and patronize it."

Hearing the shopkeeper talk about the battle of Jianning, everyone pricked up their ears. The man in black leaning on the left tried his best to keep his voice low, and asked curiously: "Brother Zhao, is that battle really so mysterious to the outside world?" The brothers all say that Wen Tianxiang used a kind of thunder, and when he slashed down, dozens of people died."

"It's a thunderbolt, and they call it a grenade. The size of a fist, with a fire twist. When I helped them carry the wounded, I saw them on the waist of the wounded soldiers. It looks inconspicuous, ignites, and explodes when thrown out. Even a stone will blow out a pit! The shopkeeper replied in a trembling voice, as if he still had palpitations. Lord Page Mishi didn't know the situation, and was caught off guard by the Wen Maniac with this thing. Later, Mrs. Xu and Chen Hangyan came, and the three soldiers and horses surrounded General Page to fight, so..."

"Oh!" , the listener suddenly realized. Dry eyeliner is taboo and curious. But the battle of Shaowu was spread too mysterious by the outside world, and the teahouse and restaurant were almost a version of one place and another. Those Jianghu artists got a plain script out of nowhere, and secretly sang it behind the back of local officials.

And people everywhere prefer to listen to these jokes. That's why artists give full play to their imaginations. What did the page eat before being beheaded, and whether it was poisoned. How Yang Xiaorong stole the secret weapon, he has a nose and an eye.

Eyeliners are also human beings, and they are just as itchy about the information they can't understand.

"Brother Zhao bothered. We'll only bother you for one night". The leader surnamed Qian wiped his mouth and wiped the grease stains from the corners of his mouth. "The handsome man has an order, Zhao Jian quickly picks it up."

"Yes, Zhao Jian took the order" The owner of the house immediately stood up and stood respectfully in front of the table.

"The marshal wants you to do everything possible to get the thunder information used by the thieves within three months. If you can steal the drawings, you will be promoted to two levels and a reward of 1,000 taels. If you can capture or hold a craftsman hostage to Ganzhou, the official will be promoted to the third level and the reward will be 10,000."

"Subordinates understand", the owner of the house took the note read by the man in black with both hands and held it high above his head. Then carefully unfold under the lamp, chanting silently. Then, he went to the oil lamp and burned all the evidence to ashes.

"Prepare the detailed information of the battle of Shaowu for us, arrange the room by the way, let the guys be on guard, and we will leave early tomorrow morning. Lu Dashuai was in a hurry" The leader surnamed Qian nodded, expressed his appreciation for Zhao Jian's demeanor, and took out two thin gold bars and placed them in the corner of the table, "This is the reward that Dashuai gave you, save some flowers." The sentry points on the road of the Broken Army were carefully checked, and it was difficult for anyone to come for a while! ”

"Xie Dashuai. Brother Xie Qian", Zhao Jian took the gold bar and smiled, "Wen Tianxiang, a madman, has to go against the imperial court, causing everyone to work hard." I immediately found someone to boil water and scald the feet of a few brothers to relieve their fatigue."

"So, it's hard work", the leader surnamed Qian nodded in thanks, and suddenly, raised his arm to the window, poof, poof, and shot two hidden arrows.

There was a muffled grunt outside the dark window.

Someone was injured, and several men in black rushed out along with the homeowner.

In the courtyard, the little man who served the horse meat just now was swaying, and he was running towards the gate, and as he ran, he shouted loudly: "Come on, there is a fine work, the boss is a fine work of the Tartars."

Mournful shouts echoed through the streets, and no one answered. The street was already remote, and after repeated wars, most of the houses were left without owners. Even if there are people, they may not dare to force their heads.

Several men in black chased after them. Wrap the guy in the middle. Zhao Jian stretched out his hand and stuck the young man's neck.

The face of the little shopkeeper who was injured by the Hidden Arrow had already turned dead gray, and it was obvious that the weapons of several men in black were poisoned.

"Who told you to eavesdrop", Zhao Jian asked angrily. After this toss, he had to move overnight tonight. A lot of valuable things have to be thrown away. Once the local government drew his face based on the memories of others, he had no choice but to withdraw from Shao Wu.

Although Marshal Lu Shikui will not blame him, his career in this life is estimated to have come to an end because of this negligence.

"I, I", the young man struggled, his hands and feet kept dancing, his head tilted, and he stopped breathing.

"Bad luck", Zhao Jian threw down the young man's corpse and explained curtly: "This kid is an orphan, he has been with me for several years, but he didn't expect it to be a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised."

"Brother Zhao, it's better to be careful", the man surnamed Qian said unhappily, "Give me the information, and we'll leave immediately."

"I'm afraid, it's too late", a low cry suddenly came from the roof. A black shadow swooped down and landed like a leaf at the gate of the courtyard. is not strong, but it just seals everyone's way out.

"Where are your friends, can you make it convenient", the hand of the leader surnamed Qian held the handle of the knife. He knew nothing when this man had come and what he had heard. The only solution at the moment is to kill this person quickly before the official arrives.

"The poor monk is fruitless", the black shadow saluted, raised his head, and showed a compassionate smile, "The conversation of several donors just now, the poor monk heard it. Several donors killed people, and the poor monks also saw it. The only way at the moment is to kill the poor monks. Otherwise, the errand soldiers of Jianning County and the broken soldiers who stayed behind will definitely be arrested and brought to justice."

"The master is serious, the master doesn't ask about the world, how dare we offend the master." Zhao Jian took a step back and sealed the flank of the fruitless monk. This monk speaks like crazy, but every word says something that is taboo for everyone. No matter the skill and strategy, it must not be taken lightly.

"Hey, in this world, jackals are in charge. Lead the beast to eat people, I don't go to hell, who will go to hell", the fruitless monk sighed, combining the famous sentence written by Wen Tianxiang and the Buddhist Zen sayings upside down, and suddenly disappeared in front of everyone's eyes. didn't wait for Zhao Jian to come to his senses, only a miserable cry of "ah" was heard in his ears, and the person surnamed Cao, who had the biggest mouth, had already fallen to the ground.

"Do it!" The leader surnamed Qian ordered loudly and raised his hand to put the sleeve arrow. As soon as his arm reached his waist, his shoulder suddenly cooled, and his whole arm fell to the ground. The fruitless monk held the waist knife surnamed Cao, and his figure hid behind Zhao Jian like a ghost. The other two fine workers couldn't cast the poison arrow, and when they were hesitating, they saw Zhao Jian flying up in the air and smashing towards them like a stone.

Two thin sideways dodges. Dodging Zhao Jian's body, he saw a thin blood line on the neck of his companion on the opposite side almost at the same time. My throat tightened, and I couldn't breathe anymore.

The rabbit rises, the eagle falls, the two look at each other, and the people standing in the courtyard are only the leader surnamed Qian and the monk. Zhao Jian, the owner of the black shop, was lying on the ground, with a knife mark on his back, from his shoulders to his waist, obviously out of breath.

"You" The leader surnamed Qian pointed at the monk with his remaining left arm, trembling as if he had seen a devil. He finally remembered who his opponent was.

This monk is a murderer, and his subordinates have never left a living mouth. Back then, when the people on the road were mixed, they all trembled when they heard the name of this monk.

"The poor monk has no result, just kill people, not seek positive results", the fruitless monk sighed and stabbed the steel knife into the stomach of the leader surnamed Qian.

His surname is Wu, but his name is not Wu Guo. Fruitlessness is his legal name. In this world, there is no way to seek positive results. At that time, he fought his way out of tens of thousands of troops and sent the news of the siege of Xiangyang to the imperial court. As a result, there is no merit, but guilt.

Prime Minister Jia wanted to execute him on the charge of lying about the military situation. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty turned a blind eye to the stab wounds and arrow marks all over his body. Every day is clear, he finally understands that more than a hundred years ago, Yue Wumu sighed,

Fortunately, the Queen Mother celebrated her birthday in time and granted amnesty to the world. He chose a life and was exiled to Lingnan. As soon as he left Lin'an, he wounded the escort and fled. Since then, he has wandered the rivers and lakes, punishing adultery and eliminating evil.

Unfortunately, the jackals can't be killed.

In the joy of the peaceful and prosperous times, the Great Song Dynasty lost the important town of Xiangyang, lost Lin'an, and wherever the Mongolian army went, the slightest resistance was to slaughter the city.

He assassinated the generals of the Yuan army. Setting fire to the barracks did not stop the Mongols from moving south. There is no hope in life, only killing.

Until one day, he heard that Wen Tianxiang had walked out of the mountain again. Laid down Shao Wu. Then, he traveled thousands of miles to defect, and before he reached his destination, he heard that Pagemi led an army of more than 30,000 to Shaowu to conquer it.

Then, he saw a miracle. Wen Tianxiang, who could not command the battle, defeated and annihilated the incoming reinforcements. Since then, there has been more hope in his heart.

He knew that Beiyuan would not give up so easily. The assassination of the opposing commander is the patent of the Mongols. So, he and a few friends quietly lived in Shaowu.

He wants to guard that hope.

Although the Breakers are still very weak, like a skinny caterpillar. But he had to guard the butterfly and bite through the cocoon.

Because this hope is not only his own.

Alcoholic note: Seeing a friend ask about the war horse, the fetter horse and the square word, the alcoholic found the information as follows. War horses and fetter horses, originally the Song people's division of horses, war horses used to supply the army, fetter horses, is a non-combatable horse, the so-called fetters of the word, refers to through the horse trade, to win the hearts of ethnic minorities.

In terms of quality, war horses are far better than bondage horses. But the demand for feed for war horses is also much higher. Although Western historians believe that Mongolian horses do not have high requirements for forage. But that's not cheap compared to Western horses, and letting the horses run and keep them from grazing. In addition, Mongolian horses are also divided into many species, not just pull one can go to the battlefield, among them, the three hippos in eastern Mongolia (Tongliao City) and the Ili horse in Xinjiang, and the Hequ horse in Qinghai are three famous breeds in ancient times. For example, a three-hippopotamus is not of the same class as a Hummer compared to a normal horse, just as a Hummer is compared to a Shaley.

Regarding Mongolian square characters, historical records are as follows: In 1260, Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, ascended the throne and appointed the Tibetan Lama Basipa as the national teacher, and ordered him to produce a common Mongolian script. Nine years later, the new Mongolian script of the Phags-pa system became the official script until the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Phags-pa is a Tibetan, and this Mongolian character is based on the Tibetan alphabet. The Tibetan alphabet is derived from the Sanskrit alphabet and was originally spelled horizontally; Paspa changed them to square characters, written from top to bottom, right to left, clearly referencing the way Chinese characters are written and constructed. Kublai Khan wanted to use this unified new script to spell Mongolian and Chinese, so that the original languages of different ethnic groups could be merged into a new whole under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty. He also demanded that official documents, inscriptions, seals, tags, money, books, inscriptions, etc., use this language. However, due to the complexity of this script, the Mongols were reluctant to learn it, and the backbone Han people were unwilling to learn it, so they could replace the original Wu'er script. From 1305 to 1311, the linguist Ngishi Jijieer compiled the book "Mongolian Enlightenment" based on the Uyghur alphabet, which correctly revealed the characteristics, grammar and spelling of the Mongolian language, improved the writing of some Uyghur letters, added individual characters, and determined the "Uighur Mongolian script", which laid the foundation for the grammar, pronunciation and writing of modern Mongolian.
