Chapter 1458: Brother
Wen Shun was idle, and now he was in the Drunken Immortal Building, playing against Sima Zhao with a soldier's basin. After a game, it turned out to be a dead end. Wen Shun shook his head and smiled, and said to Sima Zhao.
"Brother Zhao's formation is becoming more and more proficient, and it seems that in a few days, he will be able to defeat Brother Wei."
"Huh. The eldest brother praised it falsely. The little brother is just a fluke, a fluke! ”
Sima Zhao smiled slightly, without any smuggling, and actually called Wen Shun his eldest brother. It turned out that the two had the same meaning, and the two began to call each other brothers earlier. Wen Shun waved his hand and stood up slowly, showing a little sadness. When Sima Zhao saw it, his expression froze, and he asked in a deep voice.
"The eldest brother seems to have something on his mind, so you might as well talk about it, so that the younger brother can also share the worries of the eldest brother."
Wen Shun sighed, his eyes tightened, and he looked at the people on the street outside the window, his sadness became thicker, and he said slowly.
"Great Wei is recruiting new soldiers, and there are already millions of them. Emperor Cao Mengde of Wei is an immortal hero, aiming to unify the country. The Great War of the Western Tang Dynasty and the Great Wei Dynasty is imminent. In order to cope with the million-strong army of the Great Wei, the Western Tang Dynasty also had to recruit new soldiers. At this time, young and strong men in various counties have joined the army. If once our army is defeated, the Western Tang Dynasty is full of old and young women and children, how can it resist the tiger and wolf army of the Great Wei? ”
When Sima Zhao heard this, his expression was shocked, and then he got up and came to Wen Shun's side, and said with kind words.
"Big brother don't have to worry about it. The king of the Western Tang Dynasty is eloquent, and his advisers such as Prime Minister Pang Cheng, Xu Sima, and Tian Taichang are all geniuses of Tianzhong, and they are also Guan Shengye and Zhao Longhou are all victorious generals, and no one can beat them. Just a big Wei, why worry about it? ”
Wen Shun listened to this, shook his head and sighed, his eyes were blazing, and he said.
"Brother Zhao's words are wrong. Although my Xitang is as handsome as the stars in the world, the fierce will be like a cloud. But the martial arts under the command of Great Wei are also heroes, which should not be underestimated. ”
Sima Zhao's heart sank, and when he saw that the time had come, he suddenly changed his words and said to Wen Shun.
"That being said. But I am well-equipped in the west, and there are artifacts such as thunder cannons, and Chengdu, the first solid city in the world in the past, can't resist its might. That Zhuge Kongming was even more the wisest man in the world, and he was not defeated by the King of the Western Tang Dynasty! Forgive the little brother for taking the liberty of not knowing what kind of artifact this thunder cannon is, and it has such power. If you can see it, you will have no regrets in this life. ”
Wen Shun raised his eyebrows, smiled when he heard this, and smiled with Sima Zhao.
"What's so hard about that? If Brother Zhao wants to see him, you will follow me into the palace tomorrow, and I will take it and show you! ”
Wen Shun seemed to be unsuspecting of Sima Zhao, after all, Wen Shun had been with Sima Zhao for a long time, and he didn't notice any clues. Moreover, since Pang Tong issued a policy of closing the pass and cutting off all contacts with the Great Wei, it is difficult for the Great Wei to enter the customs at all, and there are flying kites to monitor the gates everywhere, let alone come to Chang'an. And Wen Shun regards Sima Zhao as his own brother, although Sima Zhao has no intention of entering the office, Wen Shun believes that in the near future, he will treat him sincerely, and Sima Zhao will be willing to vote. With Sima Zhao's ability, the future is unlimited, and this thunder cannon will be able to see it sooner or later. When Sima Zhao heard this, his heart jumped, he was very happy, and bowed his hand.
"The younger brother has been fascinated by this artifact for a long time, and if he can take a look, it will be the luck of the younger brother's life."
Wen Shun laughed when he saw Sima Zhao so happy. The two were very interested, and naturally they couldn't avoid a banquet. That night, Wen Shun left happily. Sima Zhao looked at his departing back outside the building and muttered.
"Big brother, big brother. You don't have to blame me. The Sima and Wen families have been fighting openly and secretly since decades ago. I can't repay you for your kindness to me. In the future, if you want to resent me and hate me, I can only accept it. ”
After Sima Zhao finished speaking, he revealed a little inexplicable emotion, and then turned back.
The next day, Wen Shun sent someone to summon him early. Sima Zhao obeyed the order, changed his clothes, and then came to wait outside the city. After a while, Wen Shun arrived with dozens of flying kite dead soldiers wearing black clothes and black armor with indifferent expressions.
Last night, Wen Shun had already made the matter clear to his father. Let's say that Wen Han had heard of this Ma Zhao for a long time, and heard his son say that he was a genius in the world, and he had the intention to summon him into the palace to see him. However, Wen Shun said that Ma Zhao had no intention of joining the office for the time being, so he was rashly summoned, fearing that he was not like-minded. Wen Han saw that Wen Shun already had an idea, so he didn't ask much. Last night, Wen Han heard that Ma Zhao had been obsessed with the thunder cannon for a long time, and Wen Shun wanted to take a thunder cannon to solve his wish. Wen Han secretly kept a heart, but he saw that Wen Shun had a deep friendship with Na Ma Zhao, and he didn't want Wen Shun to lose his trust to others, so he made a promise. Wen Shun was overjoyed, and now he took a thunder cannon from the Divine Barracks, and rushed with the dead soldiers of the flying kite.
After the two brothers finished their salutes, they looked at a wilderness outside the city and rode their horses. It was noon, but it was dark, and it seemed that there would be a thunderstorm soon. Wen Shun and his party came to move the wilderness, and when they saw this sky, they couldn't help frowning, and they cast a look at a flying kite dead soldier beside them. Sima Zhao looked at it in his eyes, and his expression froze. The flying kite, which made eye contact with Wen Shun just now, suddenly made a strange noise. A moment later, in the dense forest on the left, a group of flying kites drove out, pushing a wooden cart with a strangely shaped iron-like object on it. When Sima Zhao saw it, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he looked closely. Soon, the group of flying kite dead soldiers rushed over, and Sima Zhao hurriedly dismounted and observed beside the iron-like object. Seeing that Sima Zhao was so eager, Wen Shun smiled slightly, then turned over and dismounted, came to Sima Zhao's side, and pointed to the iron-like object and said.
"This is the thunder cannon that Brother Zhao has been fascinated for a long time."
Sima Zhao responded, as if he had forgotten himself, paced and walked, moving around the thunder cannon, as if he was fascinated.
"Just this iron lump, it has the power to destroy mountains and rocks?"
Sima Zhao was slightly shocked, and couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart, but he thought that Wen Shun regarded him as a brother of flesh and blood, regarded him as a human being, and would never deceive him. Sima Zhao's heart tightened, and he suddenly asked Wen Shun.
"Big brother, can the little brother touch this thing?"
Wen Shun bowed slightly, Sima Zhao's face was happy, so he reached out and touched it, only to feel a cold, and then slowly touched the pipe of the thunder cannon, and was surprised. I saw Sima Zhao walking around the thunder cannon like a marquee. At this moment, suddenly a thunderclap roared in the sky, and thunder flashed. Sima Zhao thought that the thunder cannon was powerful, and with a loud sound, he hurriedly retreated, his expression changed greatly, and he was startled. When Wen Shun saw it, he smiled and walked to say.
"Brother Zhao, don't panic. It's nothing but thunder in the sky. ”
Sima Zhao was pale, but when he heard this, he was relieved, and he walked into the thunder cannon again and began to look at it. At this time, a flying kite rushed to Wen Shun's side and whispered in his ear. When Wen Shun heard this, his heart tightened, he bowed slightly, and then said to Sima Zhao.
"This thunderstorm is coming, it's better to see the power of this thunder cannon first, and if Brother Zhao is free another day, take a good look."
When Sima Zhao heard this, he waved his hand, looked obsessed, and subconsciously said.
"The eldest brother doesn't need to worry, the younger brother is not afraid of this thunderstorm."
Wen Shun smiled bitterly when he heard this, and shook his head.
"Hehe, Brother Zhao, you have recovered from a serious illness, but if you are infected with wind and cold, it is not good."
Sima Zhao frowned, and wanted to refuse again, but he felt that the flying kite dead soldiers around him cast their eyes one after another. Sima Zhao's heart tightened, so he reluctantly withdrew his gaze, stretched out his hand, turned to Wen Shun and smiled.
"The eldest brother is so concerned, how dare the younger brother not know what to do."
Wen Shun also ignored Sima Zhao's jokes, listened to the thunder rolling in the sky, and with a little eagerness, he cast his eyes at the dead man of a flying kite. Soon five or six flying kite dead men rushed towards the thunder cannon and fiddled around. Sima Zhao watched closely, lest he look at a small detail. Wen Shun saw that Sima Zhao was fascinated, but he was afraid that he would fire a cannon and accidentally injured Sima Zhao. After the reloading was completed, Wen Shun then taught Sima Zhao to step back three feet, and then covered his ears. Although Sima Zhao was at a loss, he also complied and stepped back. Soon, with a sudden sound like thunder, a burst of fire broke out in the mouth of the thunderbolt cannon. Sima Zhao was startled, and before he could cover his ears, his ears roared, and his eyes saw a black round object in the firelight shoot out suddenly, and in an instant, it fell on a mound. Sima Zhao was shocked when he saw it, as if he was stunned by the power of the thunder cannon. I don't know if Sima Zhao's ears are still roaring, Wen Shun shouted a few times on the side, but Sima Zhao didn't hear it. At this time, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the thunder cannon closely, seeing that the mouth of the pipe was red and emitting white smoke. Sima Zhao seemed to see something, and hurriedly pulled Wen Shun's sleeve and said hurriedly.
"I haven't seen it, can I do it again, big brother?"
"Good. Brother Zhao, wait a moment. ”
Wen Shun seemed to have responded to Sima Zhao's brother when he heard this. And when Sima Zhao heard Wen Shun's words, his heart was turbulent, and he was secretly happy. After a while, the thunder cannon was fired again, and there was a loud thunder bang, and then I saw a place, earth and rocks flying, and the light and flames soared into the sky. Sima Zhao was anxious to go with the thunder cannon, but before he arrived, he felt a burst of heat. The faces of the two flying kite dead men turned cold, but they stopped Sima Zhao.
At this moment, the sky dome seemed to be angered by the two thunderbolts, and the thunderbolts slashed down one after another, and the downpour fell with a torrential downpour. The heavy rain hit the thunder cannon, and suddenly there was a piercing sound. The faces of the dead warriors changed drastically, and they hurriedly put away the round objects on the ground, and then covered the thunder cannons with a large black cloth. Under the thunder light, Sima Zhao's eyes seemed to be glowing, and he watched closely at the actions of the group of flying kites, and his heart rippled continuously. Wen Shun hurried over and said with some concern.
"Brother Zhao, this rain is tight, you are not in good health, and leave with me quickly. This thunder cannon has a bunch of flying kites to clean up. ”
Wen Shun shouted in Sima Zhao's ear, Sima Zhao came back to his senses suddenly, a shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he had gained, and bowed his head to Wen Shun. The two of them got on their horses one after another, hoping that Chang'an would fly away. But Wen Shun never expected that in the near future, because of today's events, he would almost destroy hundreds of thousands of Western Tang troops!
Let's say that Wen Shun and Sima Zhao returned to Chang'an until they took shelter from the rain in the Zuixian Building. Sima Zhao took a set of clean clothes and Wen Shun. The two changed their clothes and rested in a side room. The two brothers talked for a while, and Wen Shun suddenly said.
"The eldest brother's wedding date is approaching, and there are still many chores to deal with, so you can't leave the palace in these days, so you can't see Brother Zhao. Brother Zhao, you have suffered from the wind and cold today, so you can rest well, and five days later will be the wedding date of the eldest brother. Don't miss it! ”
"Hehe, that's nature. Even if the younger brother is terminally ill, he will definitely come to the eldest brother's wedding banquet!! Big brother don't have to worry. ”
Sima Zhao smiled brightly, and then replied. Wen Shun smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said.
