Ninety-six
For Yue Xiang, he has never felt that time has passed so long since he came here. Keep in mind .. com
In the past, when he was not idle at all, all kinds of miscellaneous things such as training, raising salaries, buying weapons and armor, fighting, treasure hunting, etc., took up almost all of his time, and if it weren't for his unusually strong physical energy, he wouldn't be able to support it at all. In the past, he only felt that there was not enough time, but now he is confined to this room every day, and he can't do anything except eat, meditate and sleep, and he is not used to such days.
And he inevitably wondered what kind of means Yang Ho would use to pry his mouth open. And what is the situation on the outside? Is the invasion of the Jianzhou soldiers still continuing? To what extent did the mobilization and assembly of the Ming army proceed? And the two demons of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, did they run away or were they caught?
And Yue Xiang also pondered about his own situation during this time, when he first "possessed" this body, he just knew that he had physical abilities beyond ordinary people, to put it bluntly, he was born with divine power, and his martial arts were strong. These should be the qualities that this body had before, but after going through the battle, he found that in addition to his innate divine power, the healing ability of internal and external injuries in his body was also very strong, just like his body had some kind of ability to heal itself. Minor injuries can heal quickly, and serious or internal injuries can be recovered within a few days as long as they are carefully recuperated.
It seems that he has a wound on his body, and he has fought with masters such as Fu Ghoul and Mang Ergutai, and it can be said that he has suffered heavy losses. Ordinary people would not have been able to make it back alive, but he could do it. And after these days of recuperation, the injuries on his body have healed ninety percent, and this ** self-recovery speed is simply a superpower.
This ability can be said to be a gift from heaven for a martial artist, but Yue Xiang didn't know if it existed before or if it appeared after he came. For ordinary people, this ability is simply magic, and it is definitely not the ability that normal people should have, but Yue Xiang knows that he is not an ordinary person, and for a person whose soul has traveled through time and space, it is unknown whether it may really trigger a certain ability of this body.
After all, is it said that the utilization rate of the human brain is only 10% that of Einstein? The ancient people's scientific and technological knowledge was backward, and it is estimated that it was even lower. Maybe the brain, which has changed souls, has been touched in untapped areas, and some kind of ability has been generated.
However, this kind of crankiness is only to the point of crankiness, but how to meet Yang Ho and what to say when they meet. He didn't like this person at first, but when he really had the opportunity to meet such a "history-making" figure, he couldn't help but think about what he might be able to do.
Another day passed, and this time there was finally someone else besides the old servant who came to bring him food every day and emptied the toilet.
"Why did they send you again? Aren't those two guys afraid to come to see me? Yue Xiang looked at Wang Yining, who walked in, but saw that he looked quite good, obviously eating and sleeping well these days. For this guy, although he hid something from him and led him to this place, Yue Xiang didn't hate him.
From Yue Xiang's point of view, he naturally knew that Yang Hao couldn't make a big deal. But Wang Yining did not know the direction of history, and from his perspective as a "modern" person, it was natural that Yang Hao was the only hope of the Ming Dynasty. Keep in mind .. com After all, the previous ministers were all incompetent, but this Yang Hao has been relatively active in all aspects since he came to power, and he is much more promising than his predecessor. Wang Yi would rather help him, which is not unreasonable.
"Hehe, what kind of identity is the person, if you save you kid, you still don't give people a good face, so naturally they won't take care of you again." Wang Yining closed the door and looked at Yue Xiang: "You look good, your injuries are healed?" As he spoke, he scooped up Yue Xiang's wrist to check his pulse, and his face gradually showed a look of surprise.
"What kind of healing medicine are you taking? How quickly did the injury heal? When I first arrived in Qinghe, I remember that you were very seriously injured. He let go of his hand and pinched and touched elsewhere on Yue Xiang's body, "Oh, the bone injury is also healed?" Do these herbs really work that well? ”
"Don't make herbs. I didn't even eat those broken pills! Yue Xiang pulled his hand away, and now someone brought the decoctioned medicine in the morning and evening, but Yue Xiang never took it. I wonder if there's anything else in it. He straightened his clothes and asked, "When you knew me before, you didn't know that I was so talented and had such an iron body?" ”
"All I know is that you have brute strength. You've been hurt before, but you've never been healed so quickly. ”
Yue Xiangyan's heart moved when he heard this, and it seemed that it was really some ability that had only recently appeared. Could it be that the possession of the soul really touched the forbidden area of some human bodies? So is this similar to the Qimen Escape Party technique like the Smelling Fragrance Sect and the Ghost Tiger and the Dark Dragon? But now that he had no time to think about it, he asked, "Let's get down to business, did they call you here for an ultimatum?" ”
"An ultimatum? Hmph, whatever you want. But I haven't seen you for a few days, so come and see how you're doing, how you're doing. ”
"Where is Xiaowan now?" Yue Xiang asked lightly.
"Oh, it's similar to you, but if you want to be a weak woman, you won't embarrass her as Yang Hao. I just went over to see her, and her face was full of sadness, as if she was thinner than before, probably thinking of her husband. Wang Yining's tone was also an understatement, "What, do you miss your wife?" ”
"Hmph, since she followed me, she still said that, she has to have this awareness." Yue Xiang's face was not worried at all. "What's going on out there now? When did the Jurchen soldiers call? ”
"Why is this asking? You seem to be looking forward to war. ”
"Hehe, at the moment, Yang Hao and Yang Jingluo are in Qinghe, and I am here, both goals are what Nurhachi wants to get and is willing, and it is killing two birds with one stone to attack the city at this moment. If something happens to you, the generals below are leaderless, and they are in chaos without a fight. The few soldiers and horses that the imperial court had managed to gather might mutiniate and collapse again, and Nurhachi could buy more time to strengthen his war preparations. ”
"It makes sense, but except for a few people, no one knows that the Minister of Economic Strategy is now in this Qinghe City."
"Really? Nurhachi's forces are all over Liaodong, and there are his spies everywhere. This person is best at being a spy, and I can tell you that there are Nurhachi's spies in this Qinghe City. ”
Yue Xiang didn't tell a lie, he had long felt that someone around him had been ventilating outside, but he didn't know who it was. With his knowledge of Nurhachi in history, with an important town like Qinghe, he must have sent more than one person to mix in.
"Oh? This is a novelty. However, Yang Ho is not a vegetarian either. There are also capable people around him, and those Jurchen spies may not have the ability to cross their blockade alive. ”
Thinking about the mysterious magic of the ghost tiger and the dark dragon, Yue Xiang really agreed with this.
"But after all, it is too risky, Yang Hao has a heavy responsibility for the country, serving as the supreme commander of several large armies, and he is lightly involved in dangerous places, in case of a mistake, he will be taken advantage of by the enemy. Maybe Nurhachi can take the opportunity to blackmail the imperial court into agreeing to his terms. ”
"Promise his terms?"
"That's right, he first announced the seven hatreds when he raised his army, whether it was true or not, this all showed the legitimacy of his army. And if the imperial court uses troops unfavorably, it will inevitably recruit peace, which is the only way to deal with these barbarians outside the country for more than a hundred years. When the time comes, he will ask for gold, silver, grain, and land, and if the court feels that it is not worth going to war, it will definitely give money to appease. The Seven Hatreds are an excuse for him to raise troops, and naturally they can also be an excuse for the court to recruit peace. ”
"How could the imperial court agree to such conditions?"
"As long as he can kill Liaodong Jinglu and completely disrupt the deployment of the imperial court, it will be possible. If Yang Hao dies, with the temperament of our Wanli Emperor, maybe this conquest of Liao will have to be delayed indefinitely, dragging it on, in case the voice of the Lord and the faction prevails, and Nurhachi shows strong strength, do you say that those timid and afraid court bigwigs will not make peace? ”
"The guess is really good, now the reinforcements mobilized by the imperial court, only more than 5,000 reinforcements from Jizhen have arrived at Shanhaiguan, and they have to disperse the defense, and the rest are grinding on the road, and some troops only exist on paper at all. The more than 10,000 people newly recruited in Quang Ninh had not yet practiced much, and three or four thousand people were scattered because of the lack of military pay for a few days. That's what happened the other day. ”
Only then did Yue Xiang understand why Yang Hao hadn't come to move him these days, it turned out that these big things had happened to deal with.
"The imperial court has awarded Yang Hao the sword of Shang Fang, urging those generals to hurry out of the customs. However, military mobilization remains very slow because of a lack of food. Now everything is because of lack of money. Wang Yining deliberately bit the word money very hard.
"So now Yang Ho has his hands free, ready to come to me for trouble?" It was false to say that he was not nervous, but Yue Xiang's face was quite calm.
"That's right, no one knows now that you've returned to Qinghe. Nurhachi probably thought you were in the north. Dai Shan's Zhenghong Banner is still burning and looting everywhere in Hebei, and has continued to capture seventeen castles, countless villages, and closely search for your traces everywhere. And someone released the news that you have fled all the way north to the territory of Beiguan Yehebu, and your Li Dai Taozhuang is playing very well. It's just that Yang Shan and those border people are your sin sheep. ”
"Those news must have been spread by Yang Hao's people."
"Hmph...... Wang Yining chuckled twice, which was considered a default.
"Dai Shan is not a fool, as long as he catches Yang Shan, he will naturally be able to figure out what happened."
"Yang Shan is not a fool, he has been wandering around the rivers and lakes in Liaodong for many years, known as a hero, and he has his network everywhere, which is not so easy to catch."
"Okay, I'm also thinking about meeting this Master Jinglu, come when you want, I'll follow." It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, Yue Xiang is ready.
After Wang Yining left, Yue Xiang waited for someone to pass him over. Another day passed, and in the afternoon, someone came.
"Let's go." The dark dragon pushed the door in, at this moment he was still wearing civilian clothes, and he seemed to be tall, but Yue Xiang noticed that his complexion seemed to have some slight differences. It seems that the injuries caused by the previous war have not fully recovered, and he has the impression that he did not suffer any serious injuries, could it be the sequelae caused by the evil magic of the Smelling Fragrance Sect?
I also fell for the evil magic Lao Tzu, is there any sequelae lurking in me? But I don't feel it.
"Where are you going?" Yue Xiang asked knowingly.
"Where do you want to go? This official doesn't have the time to talk nonsense with you, Malier! The dark dragon seemed to be in a bad mood, and his words were scolding, and he claimed to be his official in a high-minded manner. It's no wonder that his injuries are not good, and he must have been tormented by this day and night. It's understandable to be in a bad mood.
After speaking, several big men surrounded the door, all of them were sturdy, their temples bulged high, their eyes were blazing, and their eyes were fierce.
Heroes don't suffer immediate losses, and Yue Xiang didn't want to conflict with them here.
"Why are you in a hurry? Didn't I get up anymore? "Straighten your clothes and sit up from the kang. Yue Xiang stretched, and then stared at the face of the dark dragon: "Yo, Lord Tang, your complexion is not very good. ”
Hearing this, the dark dragon was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Yue Xiang's complexion had returned to normal, and he wondered in his heart, wondering why this kid could not be affected by that hateful ghostly aura. Wen Xiang Sect's Zhenshan Great Technique is not comparable to leisure, these days he has worked hard every day, but he still can't completely eliminate the cold ghost qi that invades the tendons and veins in his body, but why does this guy in front of him seem to be fine?
Is there any strange way he can't do it? The dark dragon secretly made up his mind that he would have to ask for clarification afterwards, otherwise this ghost qi would attack every eight hours, making him miserable.
Passing through the courtyard of the house, I came to an ear room in the yamen. Although Yue Xiang was born and raised in Qinghe, this yamen is not a place where he can come easily, although he hangs the sign of a squire, but after all, he is just a flat-headed commoner.
The furnishings in the house are very simple, and the small city of Qinghe is not as tall and majestic as the Yamen of the big county in Guannai. The decoration of this ear room is not as good as the house of Yue Xiang's family. In the center of the room was a Taishi chair, on which sat a sturdy old man in his fifties and sixties, also dressed in civilian clothes, but covered with a brocade robe.
The dark dragon was very respectful to this person and bowed down. The old man waved his hand, and his actions were very high-ranking officials who had been in the top position for a long time. The dark dragon turned his head and saw Yue Xiang standing there with a big grin very rudely, looking at the old man, and suddenly became angry.
"Be bold, when you see your lord, you won't kneel down!" As he spoke, he raised his foot and kicked into the crook of Yue Xiang's leg. However, this time he didn't kick, and Yue Xiang still stood with his head held high. A trace of cold electricity flashed in the old man's eyes, and his face seemed to be a little gloomy. And Yue Xiang's face was neither humble nor arrogant, he looked at him coldly, raised his hand and clenched his fist.
"Yue Xiang, Yue Ziyi, a member of Qinghe, see Lord Jinglu."
