Chapter 889: Layout and Setup

The formula of gunpowder is really a shocking secret for this era, and Li Su can't imagine what kind of disaster it will bring to the whole world if it leaks out.

If one day, everyone in the world knows the gunpowder formula, it also means that the era of hot weapons has suddenly come, and cold weapons have completely ended from this world in a way that is caught off guard and cliff-like. There are many heroes in the world, perhaps most people only know how to use gunpowder for artillery battles, and listen to a sound every New Year's Day, but a very small number of people may be able to maximize its effect, and muskets, artillery, etc., which are hundreds or thousands of years later than the original historical trajectory, may be made in this era.

Now only Li Su and Li Shimin know the formula, Li Su will never dare to let the third person know, because it will make the war more cruel and tragic, the more people die, the heavier the sin he has created. But now, the formula is Li Su's biggest bargaining chip, attracting the Korean woman to fall into the trap.

For this war, Li Su can be said to have exhausted his mind, the purpose is no longer to win, but to do his best to reduce casualties, Li Shimin's mistakes are his business, Li Su doesn't want to wipe his ass, but the lives of hundreds of thousands of Guanzhong disciples are innocent, Li Su can't ignore it.

Zheng Xiaolou didn't know what Li Su was thinking, he only vaguely knew what Li Su was planning, and Li Su looked gentle and kind, with a good temper, and never behaved like the head of the family, but when something really happened, no one could know Li Su's true thoughts, including Zheng Xiaolou and Fang Laowu, who were closest to him.

I don't understand, but Zheng Xiaolou can see Li Su's good intentions, and it is not enough to say that he is "exhausted", Li Su is still that lazy and lazy every day, except for eating and sleeping, he can't see a trace of "exhausted thoughts", but Zheng Xiaolou knows that Li Su has a very heavy heart in his heart, if he can open his heart, what he sees must be something very dark and depressing.

Very contradictory one.

"Actually, you're quite difficult......" Zheng Xiaolou shook his head and sighed.

Li Su turned his head to look at him: "I should really call you a confidant...... Is there a piano? I play a song of mountains and flowing water, do you listen? ”

Zheng Xiaolou said with a straight face: "I'm not good at music. ”

"It's okay, I've also done it to the cow and play the piano, I'll just be happy myself."

Zheng Xiaolou: "............"

Should I sympathize with this guy who is sunny on the outside but bitter on the inside? finally showed a trace of sympathy, and was instantly hit by him.

The barracks were dimly lit and filled with a strong smell of alcohol. Looking at Li Su's face again, it was also red, and he hiccuped from time to time.

Although he was acting in front of Gao Suhui just now, but doing a full set of plays, Li Su did drink a lot of wine, and at the end of the big play, Li Su was really a little dizzy.

Zheng Xiaolou frowned: "You drank too much, rest early, my subordinates and I are standing outside the barracks, and no one dares to approach within a radius of two zhang to keep it, even if you talk in your dreams, you don't have to worry about leaking secrets." ”

Li Su rubbed his sore eyebrows, and said weakly: "Get me some water to drink first, this wine is too domineering, I don't know where to buy it, after returning to Chang'an, I went to smash the store, and I wanted to kill people, this is ......"

Zheng Xiaolou: "............"

It seems that he is really drunk, who made this wine, don't you have any points in your heart?

Zheng Xiaolou has killed a lot of people in his life, but the number of times he waits for people is really not much, it can be said that there is no at all, but seeing Li Su's uncomfortable appearance, he still snorted coldly, and reluctantly got up and brought him a bowl of water.

Li Sugu drank a whole bowl, and finally felt better, and his mind was a lot clearer.

Think carefully about your performance just now, well, it's perfect, there shouldn't be any flaws, even if there are any subtle flaws accidentally exposed, with Gao Suhui's psychology of interests at the time, I'm afraid I won't notice it, so this performance can be said to be epic......

After praising himself very immodestly in his heart, Li Sucai said: "From tomorrow, you might as well relax the surveillance of Gao Suhui, well, you can allow her to walk around the camp alone, allow her to contact and talk to anyone in the camp, and it would be better if she could quietly hand over a small note out......"

"Of course, the so-called 'freedom' is not bottomless, remember that she is absolutely not allowed to approach the Chinese army commander's tent, she is not allowed to approach His Majesty, if she goes crazy and assassinates the king again, I will fall to the ground, by the way, what about her assassin accomplices?"

"Half of them died, all of them didn't survive the torture, some were tortured to death, and some couldn't stand the torture equipment and broke off by themselves...... Your Majesty said at the beginning that this group of assassins has full authority to be dealt with by you, so the torture is all done by your subordinates, and they may be too eager to pry open the mouths of the assassins, and they will inevitably be a little more ruthless......"

Li Su nodded without sorrow and joy: "When the army camps tomorrow night, the living half will be concentrated in the barracks on the edge of the camp, and then ...... Explain to Fang Lao Wu and them, deliberately find an opportunity to make some leaks, let them escape, remember to be real, it is best to have a 'tragic' fight, and then let them escape 'difficult'......"

Zheng Xiaolou was a little uneasy: "What kind of game are you arranging?" ”

Li Su glanced at him: "Don't have a long memory again?" Can the protagonist casually tell a shocking secret? If you say it, you will die, is this a curse, understand? ”

Zheng Xiaolou: "...... You better go to sleep, you hate it whether you drink or not. ”

"It's okay, I'm suddenly refreshed, come, Brother Xiaolou, let's talk about life together?"

"I don't have anything to talk to you about."

Li Su sat up cross-legged, and suddenly stared at Zheng Xiaolou up and down, and sighed while looking: "I haven't looked at you with the right eyes on weekdays, but when I took a look, I found that you are still a little handsome......"

- "I haven't seen you with the right eyes......

Zheng Xiaolou suddenly showed a tangled expression, he was clumsy in communication, and he really couldn't tell whether this sentence was praising him or scolding him, so he couldn't decide for a while whether he should accept it gladly or get up and smoke him with a peach blossom.

"Brother Xiaolou is extraordinary, he must have been trained by a famous teacher, why did he mix in the Chang'an market back then, and be in the company of ordinary scoundrels?" Li Su asked curiously.

Zheng Xiaolou said coldly with a straight face: "Of course, for the sake of livelihood." ”

Li Su smiled: "This reason is too insincere, how can you worry about your livelihood like you?" In the middle of the night, I just found a big family to slip the door and pick the lock, and I returned with a full load, not to mention that I have always felt that you are faintly hostile to the court and the government,...... Where are you from? ”

Zheng Xiaolou's face became colder and colder: "I'm just an ordinary ranger, walking in the world and only caring about injustices." ”

Seeing that Zheng Xiaolou's face was wrong, Li Su knew that he didn't want to mention this kind of privacy, so he changed the topic with a sense of humor, and sighed leisurely: "Actually, I envy you rangers, really, walking the rivers and lakes, happy and enmity, not seeking fame and fortune, just complaining about injustice in the world, what a...... Ahem, what a pleasant feeling. ”

Zheng Xiaolou glanced at him, and said with a flat expression: "Walking the rivers and lakes, happy and enmity, it sounds heroic and comfortable, but the pain and hardship are difficult, how can people who are not in the rivers and lakes understand ......"

"Of course I understand, that's why you didn't have the potential to mix with the scoundrel......" Li Su threw a "I understand you" look at him, and then sighed: "But I still envy you, do you know, chivalry represents not only justice, but more importantly, freedom, helpless, alone, but can do whatever you want, the four seas are home, the kind of picture of riding a lonely shadow under the sunset, it is simply not too literary, and you only act according to your heart in your life, drink the strongest wine, ride the fastest horse, and use the sharpest knife, Kill the person you want to kill the most, and, the wildest dog ......"

Zheng Xiaolou suddenly stood up with a dark face, and sighed dejectedly: "I don't want to talk to you anymore, in the future, we will still maintain the pure relationship between the head of the family and the guard, if you want to talk about life, you might as well find Fifth Uncle Fang, it's not early, you can rest quickly, and say goodbye." ”

After speaking, Zheng Xiaolou calmly saluted, and then rushed out of the barracks as if fleeing for his life.

Li Su was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth unsatisfied, and finally sighed helplessly: "I just started talking, why did I run away?" This man is too introverted and unsociable......"

***************************************************************

Everyone is a person with a story, Li Su has a story, and Zheng Xiaolou also has it.

However, Zheng Xiaolou's story is hidden very deeply, and he never wants to reveal it, Li Su guessed that Zheng Xiaolou must have had an unknown experience, from his background to kung fu, and then to the things he has experienced over the years, it is all a story sealed in his heart, it is simply a mysterious man, this kind of person walking in the wind must have its own BGM effect, especially the vicissitudes of life.

Fortunately, Li Su's curiosity is not heavy, and he didn't think that he had to find out clearly, since people don't want to say it, they have their own reasons, Li Su trusts this person, not the story of this person.

After camping for the night, the army continued its journey.

Li Su is still mixed with the logistics team, never get together with the Chinese army, it is very dangerous to stay with an emperor who does not listen to the advice of loyalty, Li Su understands this truth very well, the so-called "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger", the meaning of this sentence is that the king is moody, as unpredictable as a wild beast, and can choose people to devour at any time, especially the kind of king who is becoming more and more dim.

A gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, Li Su is obviously a gentleman among gentlemen, and it is absolutely right to walk around the dangerous wall from afar.

…………

When the camp was set up at night, there was a big commotion in the logistics camp.

At the beginning, the assassins who assassinated Li Shimin in Jizhou were captured alive, and this part of the assassins has been imprisoned in the camp, marching with the army, this night for some reason, the camp tent where the assassins were held was not solid, and a gap appeared below, and the guards who should have surrounded the camp were negligent and did not pay much attention to their duties, and let the assassins run out of the gap and fled in all directions, and only when they ran half of the assassins were discovered by the guards, after beating gongs and drums, the assassins fought with the guards, and the unarmed assassins were naturally not the opponents of the heavily armed guards, After a fight, most of the Assassins died, but five Assassins escaped.

After the assassin was captured, Li Shimin has always been handed over to Li Su to deal with, so Li Su is directly responsible for the assassin's escape, after the incident, Li Su was urgently summoned by Li Shimin, and then scolded him for a while, Li Su returned to the barracks with a blue face, his eyes were murderous, and he was so frightened that the tribes were silent, and they knelt on the ground to ask for guilt, Li Su was not polite, pointing at Fang Lao Wu and Zheng Xiaolou and scolding, scolding until the fire broke out, and even kicked Zheng Xiaolou and other subordinates several times, and the roaring anger was irrepressible.

Gao Suhui also knelt in the barracks, lowered her head and looked at the ground, listening expressionlessly as Li Su pointed her nose and beat and scolded one by one, but she was not shocked and did not react.

After the anger in his belly was sprinkled, Li Su drove the subordinates out of the barracks, and then stared at Gao Suhui for a long time.

"Your accomplice's escape, has it none of your business, right?" Li Su asked coldly.

Gao Suhui shook her head: "The slave and maid will not leave the grandfather an inch, and this matter has nothing to do with the slave and maid." ”

Li Su sneered: "I will ask someone to track it down, it is best that it has nothing to do with you, otherwise, you will know what life is better than death, and my Datang's torture instrument is also quite prestigious." ”

Gao Suhui's body trembled slightly, gritting her teeth and not saying a word.

"The iron cavalry in the camp has been chased out, even if those people escape, they won't be able to escape far, they will be caught up after all, and I will kill at that time......" Li Su glanced at her, shook his head and said: "I really can't be too polite to you, as soon as I am polite, it will swell, I am thinking about whether to kill you too, otherwise who knows if you will escape the same one day?" ”

Gao Suhui trembled, and said in a panic: "The slave and maid have returned to the Tang Kingdom, and they will never dare to escape." ”

"I hope so." Li Su stared at her, and suddenly smiled, smiling very madly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "I hope that you and my master and servant have a beginning and an end, and I will personally dig a pit and bury you when the time comes...... Also, the front is reporting that the army will arrive at the city of Anshi tomorrow, the city lord Yang Wanchun is your old master, and now the old lord is besieged, seeing that the martyrdom is imminent, what do you think? ”
