Fan Sheng's behavior in Chang'an City bought Jing Xiang two precious days to get out of the city, and two days, for Tao Blind, were enough for him to take Jing Xiang out of the distance.

Jing Xiang has always been a character who lives in the clouds, and this time, he has seen what it means to specialize in art. In just two days, Tao Blind took him to change seven or eight identities, jumping and going by land and water, and riding horses and cars on foot. Walking through avenues, passing through passes, drilling through alleys, and climbing over mountains, as time went by, they were getting farther and farther away from Chang'an.

And Jing Xiang, after confirming that the greatest danger had left, also used the emergency summoning order left by Fan Sheng for him. Anyone who can understand these summoning orders, without exception, is Fan Sheng's henchmen, and since the third day after leaving Chang'an, Jing Xiang's side has gathered seven or eight people from the front of the palace.

Tao Blind originally disagreed, for him, the more people, the bigger the goal, don't look at it is now far away from Chang'an City, but it is still far from the real danger, he is willing to take Jingxiang alone. But he also understands that Jing Xiang is not completely at ease with him.

The only thing that made him feel a little more comfortable was that Jing Xiang completely handed over the command of these people to himself. He also unceremoniously instructed these people to turn around, as a gangster, he could give orders to these people in a big way, and Tao Blind was finally satisfied.

Tao Blind is not a real blind man, he just has very small eyes, giving people the feeling that his eyes seem to be closed from beginning to end, which is why he has such a nickname. But although his eyes are small, it does not prevent him from becoming a famous ruthless man in the underworld of Chang'an, as Hao Ren's right-hand man, Tao is blind, and he is also a character who can stop children crying at night.

It was already dark, but Tao Blind led the group to find an abandoned village.

The material is not big, and it is only the appearance of seven or eight houses. Of course, it can't be considered a house anymore, because here, there are basically only a few ruins left standing alone.

"Respectfully, I'll rest here tonight." Tao Blind said: "Now you can't go to the top of the house, let alone go to a crowded place, I estimate that those people from the City Patrol Division should also touch the taste now, and they must have chased it down." It is impossible for us people to leave no trace behind. In the city patrol division, you might as well track the good hands. ”

"It's up to you!" Jing Xiang nodded.

A ruined house with only four walls left, overgrown with half-human deep weeds, but now it is yellowed by the memories, and he commanded everyone to cut these weeds into seven, eight, eight, eight, and eight in the ruins, and went to the ruins to find a large pile of broken wood and broken boards, and made a fire, because there are four walls, but it is not afraid that the fire here will be discovered, and the green smoke that rises is imperceptible in such a moonless night.

The temperature has dropped, and the wind is not strong, but it is enough to make people feel the cold, fortunately, it can make a fire, but it also makes the cold night not so difficult.

But the blind man dug with a knife for a long time under a stone mill disc, which was almost half buried by weeds, outside the wall, and by the time he returned to the house, he already had an extra oilcloth package in his hand.

"What is this?" Jing Xiang looked at him suspiciously. This thing was apparently buried here before.

Tao Blind laughed, sat cross-legged beside Jing Xiang, and said: "Jing Xiang, don't be afraid of your jokes, like us in this line of work, there must be a cunning and avoidance of three caves or something, and escape is our daily routine, so I will often make some preparations, and now I am taking you away, which is one of my routes, and on this line, I have hidden a lot of things." ”

Jing Xiang suddenly said: "No wonder you are familiar with us, you are already prepared." ”

"Those of us who work with our heads in our hands not only have to prevent the officers and soldiers from chasing and killing us, but also from preventing our peers from eating black and eating black, if we are not careful, how can we survive today?" Tao Blind Man was a little proud. Picking up the dagger in his hand, he cut open the package in his hand and took out everything from the inside.

"Respect, this is a sleeping bag, produced in the north, good things, shelter from the wind and rain, you see, this is leather on the outside, cashmere on the inside, not to mention this day, even if it is three feet of snow, drill inside, it is also very warm, and there is no risk of frostbite. This thing is yours tonight. Picking up a folded square thing, shaking it open, Tao Blind handed it to Jing Xiang: "You are no thicker than us people." ”

"And one of the goods you smuggled from the North?" Touching the soft velvet, Jing Xiang asked with a smile.

"Not really." Tao Blind said: "This is a military supply from the north, and it is not that there are no channels to get some, but Brother Hao asked the Third Highness, and the Third Highness said that he could not afford the equipment." So we got some of our own, and those of us who often sleep in the wilderness, and that's a great thing. ”

Jing Xiang was silent for a moment and said, "Do you mean that the Tang Army in the north has already equipped soldiers with this thing on a large scale?" ”

"yes!" Tao Blind nodded: "The soldiers have one each." ”

"You often run north, what do you think is the biggest difference between them and us? I mean the army! ”

Tao Blind hesitated for a moment and said, "Respect, the biggest image for me is that the army of the Tang people in the north is really well equipped, and the treatment is too good." Even our forbidden army in Chang'an is much inferior to an ordinary army of theirs! ”

"Tao Blind, you are growing other people's ambition and destroying your own prestige!" On one side, a spy from the front division of the palace was a little dissatisfied: "Can you win the battle with good equipment and good treatment?" Full of warm thoughts**, after a long time, these soldiers can still fight? I still think that if you become a soldier, you have to work hard. Only then did I have a desperate **. ”

"That's what I said!" Tao Blind nodded, "But I've seen their army training, it's really a game of life, it's like a real war." I've also heard that their normal training allows the dead. ”

"Where did you hear that?"

"We also have some contact with some of their officers, otherwise, where did we get these things?" The blind man pointed to the sleeping bag and took out the tin can from the package. "Respect, here is the dried meat, put it by the fire and roast it, and you can eat it when it is hot."

"This is also their military supplies?"

"Oh, this thing is open to sale in the north, anyone can buy it, but it's also standard in the army." Tao Blind said: "They have a lot of strange things over there. A bowl of white water, put a bag like this, it can immediately become a bowl of delicious soup, a few brothers, come, give it a try. In the north, the person who made this kind of material bag is now a rich man, specializing in making this thing for the army, and I heard that the court over there even rewarded him with a knighthood! ”

The blind Tao gave a few packets to a few spies around him. Then he took out a crossbow and several crossbow arrows from the package and shook them in front of everyone. "The mounted crossbows of the Tang Army, exclusively for cavalry, were fired in three consecutive shots. Within ten steps, it is easy to break through armor. For us, it is a weapon of murder. But they're going to watch it closely, and it's hard to get hold of. ”

"You're well prepared." Jing Xiang shook his head and said.

"No way, usually prepare more, so as not to catch blind when you are really unlucky." Tao Blind laughed.

The water boiled, and several spies tore open the packet and poured it into the water, and in a moment, a rich fragrance diffused.

"Respectfully, you can taste it!"

Taking the soup from a spy, Jing Xiang took a sip and looked up at the black sky, but he was contemplative.

"Doesn't it taste good?" The blind Tao took the bowl, took a sip, smacked his mouth, and said, "It's very fresh." ”

"Tao Blind, you said that if there is a war with us in the north, can we win?" Jing Xiang asked suddenly.

Tao was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't speak, and only after a while did he smile dryly: "Respect, these national affairs, we little people, where do we understand?" ”

Jing Xiang smiled bitterly, the other party didn't understand, but didn't want to say it.

Sleeping bags, material bags, canned food, these things seem to have little to do with war, but inside, they reflect the strong financial resources of the northerners, as well as the potential for war, and the ability to fight. In a national war, the bravery of the soldiers is only a small part of the reason, and more is the contest of national strength. In the past few years, Li Ze seems to have died down, but in fact he is accumulating strength, and in the past two years, Daliang has been constantly expanding and looting in the south, not wanting to fill the treasury in a short period of time, so that he can have the ability to fight a big battle.

The problem is that what is snatched in this way will eventually run out, and Li Ze's endless cycle is the right way, once the two sides start a war, if the big beam can win in a short time, then it's fine, otherwise once they hold each other, the one who loses will inevitably be the big beam.

Li Ze's army has already jumped past the simplest sufficiency of grain and grass, but Daliang is still working hard for this goal.

What's even more painful is that now civil strife has broken out in Daliang again.

He picked up the bowl and gulped down the soup.

No, we must not let the fight within the Great Liang, if Zhu Youyu and Zhu Youzhen really have a large-scale conflict, it will only be Li Ze who will laugh, no matter which of the two brothers wins in the end, they will only make wedding clothes for Li Ze.

Only by uniting and unanimously swords and guns to the outside world can the beams have a chance.

His Majesty the Emperor is definitely no longer there now, but thinking about it, even under Jiuquan, he will agree to his approach, after all, this is for the sake of their old Zhu family, this time, he must try his best to persuade Zhu Youzhen to temporarily bow to Zhu Youyu, and the brother is outside the wall to resist his insults, and his own affairs will be counted as opportunities in the future.
