Chapter 36: If Life Deceives You

When the gunshots rang out, Liu Yu was sleeping on the ice plow.

Startled by the sound of gunshots, Gulu jumped up suddenly.

The person next to him had already subconsciously taken out the fire rope on his body and put it in the coals of the mud basin to light it.

Liu Yu had a flintlock pistol brought by a missionary given by the emperor in his hand, and he did not use a fispline, but the rest of them were still Central Asian arquebuses of the Dashun system.

He knew that muskets in this era were extremely slow to reload, and it took a minute to reload.

Even if he fired a gun from the other side, there was no danger in a short period of time, and it was the time for him to show his "courage and fearlessness".

Immediately jumped out with a musket.

Unexpectedly, these soldiers, whom he couldn't look down on by the standards of later generations, actually behaved very calmly.

is worthy of the name of the elite, after all, they have all been on the northwest battlefield.

The marksmanship on the opposite side was very good, wounding five horses, not a single one of them.

The people who drove the car reacted quickly, and they had already received Liu Yu's order, and they were afraid that the injured horse would startle the car formation and get out of the formation, so they cooperated in a group of two people and stabbed the injured horse to death.

Bubbling pink blood gushed out from the wound on his neck, and he finally fell to the ground and could no longer stand up, so naturally he couldn't drag the cart.

The horse teams sent out from the front and rear had also outflanked the woods from both flanks, and the soldiers reserved in the chariot formation had already stood in position.

"Hurry down! The whole team! ”

Wielding the musket in his hand, Liu Yu shouted loudly, for fear that others would not know that he was "brave in battle, fearless in his own hands".

Soon, the soldiers who lit the arquebuses were all lined up along the main station. Under the cover of the cart, the musket was raised.

Looking at the reactions of these people, Liu Yu was very satisfied. Although these soldiers are not in shape on weekdays and complain constantly, it is difficult to say that they have any loyalty and patriotism.

But if there is no chaos in the battle, and no guns are heard, it is already worthy of the name of elite. At this time, all the strong armies in the world that can fight may be this hanging, which is already above the average level.

The soldiers in the front row fired a volley, but they didn't hit anyone, only to see that the pine branches on the opposite side were scattered.

The smoke of gunpowder burning filled the truck, and there was a choking smell of sulfur.

Just as he was about to send a few people towards the pine forest, he heard the people in the pine forest shouting.

"Listen to the people below! We are from the Acropolis of Hendori, and we have known for a long time that you are going to do lawlessness. We're here to delay you, and the army is coming! Why don't you hurry up and get caught? ”

As soon as he heard this, Liu Yu smiled.

The heart said that this was really Li Kui who met Ghost Li.

If you say this to those noble children who have never been to the grassroots level, they believe it in eight achievements, and you have to praise you two sentences: I don't forget the responsibility of patrolling the border on nine cold days, and I am really a model in the army.

But along the way, Jiao Lao Butu had already talked to Liu Yu about the virtues of the soldiers in the border army, and Liu Yu understood the truth of the soldiers and bandits of the feudal dynasty.

Listening to this again, it is really reluctant to burn paper when you go to the grave to burn wheat straw - foolish ghosts.

The arrogant Lao Butu on the side also smiled, and he had been away from Handoliwei for a long time, and he couldn't tell who it was when he heard the voice, but he said it really beautifully.

"My lord, this is also a smart man. Bluff, there should be five or six people in the woods. ”

Liu Yu smiled: "Yes." It's scaring us. If it was really a caravan, when they heard this, they didn't dare to clash with them, so they could only consider themselves unlucky, throw down these horses and carts, and run away. ”

Jiao Lao Butu laughed, shook his head, and said, "My lord thinks of them too well. Where can these people be satisfied with a few big cars? I know too well that if it were a caravan, even if it was to leave at this time, they would follow like hungry wolves. Leaning on the terrain, killing a few more horses, the slower it will go. When the time comes, the assembled border troops will follow, and they will have to add two to five, to say the least. ”

Liu Yu glanced at Jiao Lao Butu, and said in his heart, I am afraid that you have not done such a thing before, Men Qing'er.

"What are you going to do? How many people should I bring to arrest them? Or do I go out and shout and call them out? ”

"Go shout. These people are familiar with the terrain. In case you run one or two, it's also troublesome. Let them come down, as the so-called deeds do not care, since they said that this is the official business of patrolling the border, I will pretend to believe it. ”

He nodded yes, thinking that this would be the best.

He also grew up in the city of Hendori. Although now that Tengda, entered Beijing, and got out of the ghost place where had to be broken with a stick in this winter, they are all familiar faces after all, and it is not easy to do too much.

I'm really going to catch it, and it doesn't look good on my face. Since Liu Yu is lenient, it is the best.

Stepping out of the car formation, he took off the dogskin hat on his head, and the misty heat mixed with the cold wind, revealing his face.

"Damn, who are you from in Handoli? Blind? Do you recognize me? Hurry down, don't come down again, but it's a big deal. ”

In the woods.

Realizing that his inspiration just now, Du Feng, who was bluffing and had the wisdom of Wuhou Kongcheng, couldn't laugh.

Several partners next to him were also stunned.

"Listening to this movement, looking at this appearance, how does it look like Lao Shu?"

"Can't be wrong, it's him."

"Didn't he go to the capital? Why did you get here? ”

Du Feng suddenly understood, and his heart was broken. When I fired the gun just now, it didn't feel like a caravan, it really wasn't a caravan.

Jiao Lao Butu is also the old man of the Acropolis of Handoli, and there are many people in Handoli City who have been recruited to fight in the northwest and thus selected for the Beijing camp in recent years. Although I have been away for a long time, it is common since childhood, which is not bad.

Knowing that Jiao Lao Butu had already had a medal, he would definitely not be reduced to being a guard for the caravan, Du Feng thought to himself that these people were really figures in the army, but he was afraid that there was some secret business.

Pushing aside the branches of the tree and looking, he found that there was another person in the car formation, and he could also see Jiao Lao Butu talking to that person just now. According to Du Feng's thoughts, Jiao Lao Butu has mixed up to the fifth grade, and the official position of the people in it should not be low......

To go down or not to go down?

If you don't go down, there will be five or six people on your side. The opposite side doesn't look flustered, the wings are also wrapped, and there are veterans like Jiao Lao Butu. Even if you can run, you have to peel off your skin.

But if you go down, you can deceive those fools who haven't gone through the frontier with the nonsense you just said, but you can't fool the one who shouts below.

Just as he was hesitating, he heard the following shouting: "Rabbit cubs, if you don't come down again, you will be in big trouble." You patrol the border in winter, this is a public business, and we have never carried a banner, why are you wrong? Afraid of what? ”

At this point, Du Feng discussed with his partners, threw the muskets to the ground, and climbed down from the trees one by one.

As soon as he came, Du Feng and a few people came to Jiao Lao Butu's side first, and arched his hand: "It turned out to be Master Shu?" ”

While arching his hand, he quietly made a few gestures begging for mercy, meaning to let Jiao Lao Butu say good things.

Jiao Lao Butu held back a smile, and at first glance he was also an acquaintance, and he also gave Du Feng a look.

Show that you are not the main master, and the main master is behind.

A few soldiers came over and grabbed the five men into the car formation like chickens.

Liu Yu looked at these young people who were about the same age as himself and asked, "Who shouted just now?" ”

Looking at this posture, Du Feng also understood that these people really had official status.

With a roll of his eyes, he stepped forward and pretended to be a "Zhou Yafu army fine willow", and gave a military salute on one knee.

Hold your head high and be proud, and your strengths will not fall.

"Your Excellency forgives sins. The one who just shouted was below. In the lower line of the Han Duo Li Zhichong Prefecture Du Qian's son, the river was closed in winter, and there were many smugglers who transferred forbidden goods along the river. The government soldiers and border troops must not only patrol the borders, but also anti-smuggling, which is also an official matter. The adults did not wear flags or armor, and they thought that they must be traders transporting prohibited things, so they intercepted them. ”

He also does not ask for forgiveness, he looks like he is doing business, holding his head high, and his words are conclusive.

Liu Yu snorted, and said in his heart, young man, you are still a pattern, seeing that you and Jiao Lao Butu know each other, do you think you can tell me about this point?

What kind of bird is the border army, it's okay for you to deceive those military attaches who are from the capital, but you can't deceive me.

If the border army is like what you said, they will still be ordered to patrol the border in the cold and bitter winter......

With such discipline and awareness, can things in the northwest be tossed for so long? It's already through Central Asia.

After deliberately drying this guy for a while, Liu Yu spoke: "Xiao Du, you robbed the caravan on weekdays, and you have to sell the stolen goods." Ever been to the castle of the Rakshasas? ”

Du Feng, who maintained the military salute, was frightened, and his heart turned, and he roughly guessed what these people were going to do.

Thinking about it again, this person actually asked this directly, but I was afraid that Jiao Lao Butu had already paid the bottom, and it was pointless to pretend at this time.

It's better to take advantage of the trend, and the gesture is arched, which is not bad, and the hob meat generally said indifferently: "Hehe, my lord Mingjian." Been there. It's all tea cakes, rhubarb and the like, and we can't use them, so it's better to go to the Rakshasa to exchange for silver flowers. ”

From Zhou Yafu's righteous and strict remarks just now, to the seamless switching of Hehe laughing and beating the snake stick, he really has some ability.

Liu Yu didn't want to delve into this kind of thing, he didn't seek politics if he wasn't in his position, and he wasn't in charge of military discipline in the border army.

"I've been there, so I happened to ask you something. Arise now. ”

"Thank you, sir."

"What's your name?"

"Under Du Feng. At this time, he is just a white body, and he will have to go to Kaowude Palace next year. Please raise your hands high. Although I just said a lie, if an adult plays a banner and shows his armor, he will never dare to do so. ”

He's also a smart guy. Seeing that Liu Yu was young, he stepped on the head of Jiao Lao Butu, and knew in his heart that this person must be a child of a big man in the capital.

If you say a word in the capital in the future, then your future will be completely over. Although the border army robbed the smuggling caravan, the above knew about it, and they also turned a blind eye and even participated in the distribution of spoils.

But the unspoken rules are unspoken rules, but they can't be shown in the open.

Liu Yu didn't reply either, and asked directly: "I won't mention this in advance." You've been to Rakshasa Fortress, but what's going on? ”

"Uh......"

Du Feng's heart clicked, as if a lightning bolt had crossed the night sky.

This man came up to ask about the Rakshasa Castle, and he came secretly as a caravan without a banner, thinking of the amount of winter logging that had been urging it for the past two years, he suddenly thought of a possibility.

Especially when patrolling the border in autumn this year, there was also a strange thing on the side of the Rakshasa Castle.

"Back to my lord. There is indeed something strange about the Rakshasa fortress. This fall, when I was waiting to patrol the river, I encountered a strange thing. Among the Rakshasas, there is a Kunlun slave, and it seems that he should be an official. At that time, we were on the river by boat, and on the opposite shore there was a group of Rakshasa people, surrounded by a Kunlun slave, watching us with a clairvoyant mirror. ”

"Kunlun Nu?"

Du Feng hurriedly explained: "Yes." It was pitch black, like charcoal. Not a Rakshasa race. ”

Blacks?

How could there be blacks in Russia at this time?

And even if there are blacks, how can they run to the border areas, and even be officers?

"Oops!"

With a turn of his mind, Liu Yu suddenly thought of something, and subconsciously read a poem.

…… If life deceives you......

It's him?

PS: I'm afraid that someone will say: Calling adults servile, disgusting, etc., post a small historical material.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Chen's "Deeds at the Beginning of the Kingdom": Taizu went out privately at night in Wuzhou and was blocked by the patrol army. The little pioneer Zhang Huan followed, and said that the patrol army said: It is an adult. The patrol said: I don't know who the lord is, but I know that the one who violates the night is obsessed. Again and again, it has been. The next time, Taizu rewarded the patrol army with two stones, and then did not go out at night.

This person has repaired the "Ming Taizu Record". Of course, if you want to say that it is tampering, it may also be Zhu Di deliberately smearing his father for his servile thinking .......

Another PS: Li Zicheng's statement that he is a member of the party is from two books according to the manuscript.

A copy of Mao Qiling's "Later Records", this book is praised, and Tu Chuan's 600 million is from this book, which should be regarded as a forbidden book of necromancy.

Another "Luqiao Chronicle", this book is even better. The author died in 1672, but the book records the surrender of the Zheng family in 1683.

This person has transcended the mortal realm, and has great prophecy skills, which ordinary husbands can see.

This book will not only be a great prophecy, but it will also turn back time. Li Zicheng obviously ascended the throne on 29 April, but the author plucked the strings of time and decreed that Li Zicheng must ascend the throne on 17 April.

Li Zicheng is not a great Guangzheng, but there are two things that should be the most black: he lost a stone and died in Jiugong Mountain in vain.
