17. Che Dengshi Ling Pass
But Dou Shen also knew in his heart that he had lost all this game, and he hadn't thought of three things beforehand:
The first one didn't expect that the third year of high school would go against the norm and continue to attack Funing Village, making him extremely passive politically and militarily;
The second did not expect that the emperor would be disgusted with him to such an extent, and directly purge his political clique in the capital with secret edicts and false accusations;
The third thing he didn't expect was that the Xuanwu Army he relied on was so weak, Liu Xuanzuo was actually scolded by the senior in high school, so he fled back to the town in disgrace, and several other Guandongfang towns are now silent, it seems that the possibility of watching from the wall is very high - as for the few Fang towns that are nominally under their own control, Fenghua and Fengcheng have already secretly communicated with Gaoyue, and Zhenwu Li Jingluo and Tiande Han Yougui are simply a pair of waste, Li Jingluo, who originally received the order to attack Funing Village in the south, is still staying in the camp near the Twelve Liancheng!
Fengcheng Military Mansion, with the advent of spring, the black crows are covered in the roof and the courtyard wall, a pair of red eyes staring inside, constantly sounding the creepy cry, Dou Shen shaped bones, he has not eaten well for many days, lying on the rope bed, although his heart is depressed and desperate, but he subconsciously has a life-saving straw, I saw that this Chinese scholar waiter is still holding a small person woven of pu grass in his hand, from time to time raised his head, in the air, with a weak voice shouting, "five brothers" endlessly.
Until now, he still doesn't believe Sima Chengzhen's advice to him, but uses a more fanatical attitude, hoping that the so-called fifth brother can help him in this situation. (1)
But the fifth brother didn't hear it, and all that filled Dou Shen's ears was the crow of the crow, as if urging him to death. But it's not easy to die, he can't do it if he wants to die, there are no weapons, the doors and windows are sealed, the corner doors are blocked, there are crossbowmen from the Fengcheng Army on all sides of the building, the pond is too shallow to drown people, and the only fake stone mountain that can kill himself has also been moved.
Every day, the Fengcheng soldiers outside would bring two meals, and when he didn't go crazy, Dou Zhonglang would sit by the pool and watch the fish swimming in it.
In the end, Dou Shen, who was also shrewd and capable, and was effective in political affairs, had a ridiculous hallucination, he jumped up from the rope bed from time to time, shouting that the Zhenwu Army is coming, the Tiande Army is coming, the Xuanwu Army is coming, hurry, hurry, quickly follow me to the Beijing Division, the Holy Lord was held hostage by the traitorous party, and then looked around, the Ya Soldier Courtyard and buildings outside the wall are still full of the banners of Li Ziliang's subordinates, and the Dou Shen Shogunate's subordinates are all pulled out for isolation and interrogation, and his "criminal evidence" is also being collected step by step.
In the backyard of the entire government office, he was the only one performing a "one-man show".
The snow melted, the bamboo was re-jointed, and the flowers in the pavilion and the hook fence were also angry in turn, but Dou Zhonglang, who was sitting alone on the rope bed, collapsed in despair again and again, crying loudly.
I don't know what day it was, suddenly there was a sound of the door being pushed open outside the palace, rumbling like spring thunder, the crows babbling and babbling, one after another rose into the air and flew, and then there was the shout of the soldiers, Dou Shen woke up and shouted: "Finally, finally come to kill me, I am the court Pingzhang, I am the ruling minister, and I am the ambassador of the party out of the town of Taiyuan, you can't do this, I want to see the Holy Lord, I want to know the canonical punishment, I don't have any evidence enough for the death penalty, you come and slander me as much as you want, I'm not afraid!" ”
Sure enough, a group of soldiers rushed in, each wearing mole armor, like a monster covered with fish scales, and there were cheek armor under the iron brim of their helmets, revealing only a pair of eyes, which were very similar to the crows on the wall, and the two of them twisted Dou Shen at first.
Dou Shen was still struggling, his clothes were torn, but he still screamed and scolded like crazy: "In the third year of high school, you traitorous party, eating dog intestinal slaves, relying on grace and luck to do nonsense, is this country surnamed Li or Gao?" The righteous people of the whole world, the scholars and doctors of the whole world, hurry up, take on the responsibility of rising and falling, don't let the community and the community turn into a barren hill......" The soldiers of the Fengcheng Army at the head of the surrounding buildings were really exhausted when they saw Dou Shen shouting here, and they were finally dragged out of the door of the government office and stuffed into a carriage.
Then a puff of dust kicked up, the wheels of the carriage turned rapidly, and under the cavalry in full armor, they rushed to the northern city of Taiyuan Mansion.
Previously, when Ma Sui was guarding the northern capital, he had diverted river water to flood the land under the northern city wall to save soldiers, and this team of chariots and horses went straight north from a land bridge like a high beam, through the vast river on both sides.
Outside the oil walls on all sides of the carriage, there was still a thick curtain, Dou Shen squatted inside, he really didn't see the day, he couldn't tell the direction, he could only hear the neighing and hooves of the war horses outside, he could only calculate the approximate itinerary in fear, after all, every thirty or forty miles, the cavalry escorting him had to stop for a short time at the post station they passed by, replenishing water and food for men and horses.
He did not know the first post station, and the cavalry escorting him stopped here for a while and then galloped off and continued on the road;
Then after another post, Dou Shen heard the sound of the noisy market outside, and speculated that he should have arrived in another city, but he still couldn't determine;
After walking thirty or forty miles, there were post stations everywhere.
Dou Shen's eyes widened, and he put his ear on the wall of the car, but he vaguely heard two soldiers outside, chatting after drinking horses, and one of them seemed to ask, "Qi Hou asked you to read and break words, you look at the temple tablet opposite, I will bet ten dollars, you can say it, I will lose to you." ”
The other said, "Qi Hou forbids the game in the camp." ”
"Hey, Qi Hou also said that as long as we gamble on stone, overdistance, and archery, Qi Hou will not ask, and this literacy is the same."
As a result, the man really began to read the words on the temple tablet: "A certain person recognizes a 'south', followed by a 'west', and a 'two', and the last one is a 'mountain', isn't it?" ”
"Oh, there's one next to it!"
At this time, Dou Shen's sweat poured out, he was proficient in gold and stone, these two pawns read, isn't it the inscription of Luo ** Temple, there are two lines on it, that is, "South and West two valleys, the view of the post is like coming and going; Two ridges in the north and east, each cloud is cut off by the river Han".
"I'm heading north!" Dou Shen's head clanged and smashed against the wall of the car.
He deduced that the first post station was Sanjiaozhai in the north of Taiyuan Prefecture, and the second place should be Yangshuo Mujing City, which should now be the junction of Taiyuan Mansion and Xinzhou, that is, Baijingyuan.
The next stop is Shiling Pass.
Sure enough, then Dou Shen clearly felt that the carriage was constantly rising, winding up the mountain road, and later there were soldiers pushing the wheels behind it.
Where will you send me after this threshold?
Is it to go to the land of Youyan through the Flying Fox Pass, or to go to the Shan Yu Duhu Mansion of the Zhenwu Army in the North?
Dou Shen quickly had an answer in his heart, he raised his face, looked at the pitch-black roof, and let out a miserable wail: "Senior high, you are really vicious, and you have to punish you for killing!" ”
