Hezhong Mansion, at this time, in a wealthy mansion in the city, heavy troops gathered, and soldiers in excellent armor surrounded this mansion in three layers and three layers outside. Of course, this was not a mutiny or anything, but was used to protect the house.

And in the mansion, in a room, the generals gathered, Wang Chongrong, the envoy of the Hezhong Festival, Zhou Qi, the envoy of the Zhongwu Army, Lu Yanhong, Wang Jian, Han Jian, etc., in addition to more than a dozen fake sons collected by Yang Fuguang.

At this time, these people's faces were gloomy, and they were even full of worry, all because of Yang Fuguang who was lying on the bed.

At this time, Yang Fuguang was not an ordinary superintendent, nor was he the superintendent of the world's soldiers and horses, but replaced Wang Duo as the commander of all the roads and camps, which meant commanding the world's army. This appointment was naturally given by Li Yi, but it was not Yang Fugong who pushed Li Yi to give this order, but Tian Lingzi.

Because Yang Fuguang had remarkable military achievements in the process of suppressing the rebels, Tian Lingzi also asked Li Yu to replace Wang Duo with Yang Fuguang in order to leave a way for himself to live. Originally, Yang Fuguang had made great achievements in the war, and with Tian Lingzi's suggestion, Li Yu naturally agreed.

However, not long after this new appointment was issued, Yang Fuguang suddenly became seriously ill during his march to the river, and his condition became more and more serious, and there was a tendency to run out of oil and lamps.

"Lord Dutong, don't worry, Xiaguan has already asked people to collect a few famous doctors from the neighborhood, and they will come as soon as possible." Lu Yanhong on the side comforted Yang Fuguang on the bed.

"Ahem... Yang Fuguang couldn't help coughing twice, and wanted to sit up, but his whole body was weak, Lu Yanhong and Wang Jian on the side hurriedly helped each other to sit down, and put the quilt behind him to make the other party comfortable.

Looking at the boss in front of them, Lu Yanhong, Wang Jian and others were the most distressed. Unlike Wang Chongrong and Zhou Qi, both of them have their own armies and have a certain degree of independence, but they are only temporarily under the command of Yang Fuguang.

The two of them are different, the Zhongwu Ba they are in are Yang Fuguang's direct troops, although they belong to the Zhongwu Army, but the relationship between Zhou Qi and Zhongwu Badu is not very good. When Yang Fuguang was there, they had unlimited natural beauty, but once Yang Fuguang had three longs and two shorts, it was also a question of where they should go, and they would even become the object of the division of various forces.

"No... There is no need to find a famous doctor, our family's body, our family knows, it should be that the limit is approaching, and the medicine stone is useless. Yang Fuguang, who was pale, looked at his subordinates and shook his head, he naturally knew best about his physical condition.

"Dutong, we can send you to Chengdu, and Your Majesty will definitely send the best imperial doctor to treat you." A general on the side said.

"Zhang Dutou, do you know how far it is from Chengdu? Moreover, the roads in Shu are difficult and dangerous, and Dutong's body can't withstand the toss at all. Zhou Qi said dissatisfied.

"General Zhou doesn't want to save Lord Dutong? Don't forget that there is a capital system, and you are where you are today. ”

"Presumptuous!" Zhou Qi was a little angry, and loudly scolded the person who spoke, it was Li Shitai, one of the eight capitals of Zhongwu.

"Okay, our family is not dead, what do you want to do? Rebellion? If you want to rebel, kill our family now. Looking at the quarrelsome subordinates, Yang Fuguang's pale face suddenly turned sickly ruddy, and Wang Jian on the side hurriedly came to his side and patted him on the back.

"Don't get excited, Lord Tutong should take care of his illness now, and if he doesn't believe in his position, no one can cure his illness. There are so many hurdles for adults, and this time the small hurdles must be fine. Wang Jian comforted.

Glancing coldly at these subordinates with different thoughts, Yang Fuguang also had a headache, "You all go down first, our family has to rest for a while." ”

"Yes!" Everyone clasped their fists and saluted, Wang Jian also planned to get up and leave, but was stopped by Yang Fuguang, "Lu Du and Wang Du are left." ”

Wang Chongrong and Zhou Qi were slightly surprised, glanced at Lu Yanhong and Wang Jian, glanced at each other, and then turned to leave.

After everyone left, Yang Fuguang looked at the two people in front of him with a complicated expression, "You sit." ”

"What do you command?" Wang Jian wanted to speak, but was snatched away by Lu Yanhong, which made Wang Jian a little unhappy, but Lu Yanhong didn't care about this, at this time he had to show that he was the number two person in the Zhongwu Badu.

Where there are people, there are battles, and although there were originally only 8,000 people in the Zhongwu Eight Capitals, there are now nearly 20,000 people, and they are all battle-hardened elite soldiers.

Yang Fuguang looked at the two of them and sighed, "You have been following our family for a long time, and there is no need for our family to hide it from you, our family may really not be able to serve His Majesty." ”

"My lord... Wang Jian wanted to persuade Yang Fuguang, but the other party shook his head and stopped, "Don't comfort our family, our family's body, our family knows it." Now the rebellion of Huangchao is undecided, although Chang'an has been recovered, but Huangchao is still at large, and our family has not been able to welcome His Majesty back to Beijing, there are too many regrets.

There are only three worries about our family, one is that His Majesty has not been able to return to Beijing, the second is our brother Yang Fugong, and the third is you.

Especially you, what will you do after our family is gone? You are loyal to the eight capitals, you are the elite troops brought out by our family personally, after our family leaves, you who are far away in the river are bound to become the eyes of many anyway. Loyal and martial arts, together is strong, and division is dead, our family hopes that you will remember this.

Before we leave, we will order you to go to Chengdu. One is to protect you, and the other is that Your Majesty needs an army like you that is loyal to the court, what Wang Chongrong, Zhou Qi, Li Keyong, Zhu Wen and others are all ill-intentioned, we can still suppress them when our family is there, and after our family leaves, it will definitely be chaotic.

The third is for you to help our cousin. Although he is a lieutenant in the Right Shence Army, he is not Tian Lingzi's opponent, especially after our family leaves, Tian Lingzi will definitely attack our cousin. So we need you to go... Help him, our family... Will revise the book... One, he won't be snubbed when he sees it... You wait. ”

Maybe it was because he was talking too much, Yang Fuguang was panting when he said it, and his voice was getting smaller and smaller, and he looked weak. At this time, Wang Jian didn't have any anti-Tang thoughts, he was also very grateful to this boss, if it weren't for the other party, where would he have the status he has today, there were still people who called him 'Eight Thieves' before, do you think anyone dares to call him now?

"My lord, don't talk, take good care of yourself." Wang Jian came to Yang Fuguang's side and said anxiously.

Seeing this, Yang Fuguang looked at the two of them, not knowing what they were thinking, and only spoke after a while, "Ludu, after our family leaves, the Zhongwu Badu will be handed over to you, and Wang Du will be your deputy." The two of you must unite as one, and then follow our family's instructions to go to Chengdu to escort you. ”

"Don't worry, sir." Lu Yanhong said happily, what he was waiting for was this moment, although he was the highest status of the Zhongwu Badu, but if there was no such sentence, after Yang Fuguang left, he would not be able to command the Zhongwu Badu.

Compared with Lu Yanhong's happiness, a trace of loss flashed on Wang Jian's face, and Yang Fuguang also felt that the other party's movements were a little stiff, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although Wang Jian is very good, his time with him is not as good as Lu Yanhong's after all, and letting him be in charge of Zhongwu Badu will inevitably cause greater dissatisfaction.

That night, Yang Fuguang summoned a group of generals, big and small, and when he saw Yang Fuguang with a ruddy face, he thought that the other party's health had improved, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy. They were all promoted by Yang Fuguang, and the other party was also good to his subordinates, so Yang Fuguang's status in their hearts was even higher than that of Emperor Li Yi who was far away in Chengdu.

But then Yang Fuguang's words made some people feel that something was wrong, Yang Fuguang said a lot, but in the eyes of everyone, it was like explaining his last words. But no one dared to ask, after the other party finished speaking, he instructed Lu Yanhong and Wang Jian to help him up, and finally helped him out of bed and stood up with the support of the two.

Yang Fuguang waved his hand and motioned for the two to let go, Wang Jian hesitated a little, "My lord, your body... ”

"Let go!" Yang Fuguang commanded without refusal.

Yang Fuguang's majesty in the army was very high, and Lu Yanhong and Wang Jian hesitated for a while but let go of their hands. As soon as the two let go, Yang Fuguang knelt down in the direction of Chengdu and shouted, "Your Majesty, please forgive the old slave for no longer being able to serve Your Majesty and kill the enemy for Your Majesty to quell the rebellion." Your Majesty's grace, the old slave will repay it in the next life! ”

After speaking, Yang Fuguang kowtowed heavily on the ground, and when he hit the third one, blood suddenly spurted, and then he fell directly to the ground, which scared a lot of people.

"Your Excellency?"

"Lord Toto!"

"What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and call the doctor, hurry! ”

Immediately, everyone was in a hurry, but before the doctor came, everyone found that Yang Fuguang had no breath, and the cry resounded in the sky for a while.

。。。。。。

"Your Highness, this has been modified according to your requirements and can be fired with a bow and arrow. We tied a small bamboo tube to the top of the arrow, which contained gunpowder, and as long as it was lit when the bow and arrow were fired, it could be fired. ”

Qingyangzi stood in front of Li Ye, holding a finished rocket, and introduced the general composition. It is said that it is a rocket, which is different from the rocket in the eyes of later generations, and it is not fired by the thrust generated by the gunpowder itself, but by a crossbow. This is equivalent to a combination of gunpowder and crossbow arrows, and there is nothing wrong with calling it a rocket.

"What about range and power? Can it be fired with a normal bow? Li Ye took over a rocket that had been made, of course, for safety, there was no gunpowder in it, to put it bluntly, a small bamboo tube was tied to the head of the arrow, and the gunpowder was loaded into the bamboo tube.

The reason why bamboo is chosen is naturally that this thing is distributed in Xichuan, and even in Dongchuan, Shannan Xidao, Jingnan, and Guanzhong, so it is convenient. Moreover, the bamboo tube is light, which will not affect the flight of the bow and arrow, and its natural sealing is also suitable for gunpowder.
