Chapter 138 has to be sent on the string
In the prison of Dali Temple in Chang'an, Li Anyan, the general of the left prison guard, covered his nose and walked into the corridor of the cell.
On the wall of the corridor, a candle as thick as a child's arm is lit on the wall, illuminating the corridor brightly.
It's not that Li Anyan can't stand the smell of blood in the prison, and he really can't stand the stench in it. He took the handkerchief and forcibly commanded the jailer beside him, "Go directly to the torture room!" ”
In the torture room, Wang Renbiao's arms were hung on the wall by two iron chains, he was dressed in a middle single, his hair was scattered, his body was covered with bruises, the beard on his face was dirty, and the whole person was emaciated and out of shape, only his two eyes were shining, and they were glowing with blood.
Li Anyan covered his nose and paced in front of Wang Ren's surface, and the two criminal officers of Dali Temple stood behind him with their heads down.
The two jailers whipped slightly.
Li Anyan asked in a long tone, "I ask you again, what do you want?" Who is the mastermind? ”
Wang Renbiao snorted, spit out a mouthful of bloody spit, and said with a hoarse smile: "Through the ages, heroes are nowhere to be found, and Sun Zhong is looking for a solution." The dance pavilion is always blown away, and the rain blows the wind. The grass and trees in the slanting sun, the ordinary alleys, and the humane slaves once lived. Thinking back then, Jin Ge Iron Horse swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger......
The muscles on Li Anyan's face twitched slightly, approached Tan Shen's face, and sneered: "I'm not afraid of death." Tell me, who is Sun Zhongmou? Who is Liu Jinu? ”
He straightened up, wiped his nose lightly with a handkerchief, and said with the same expression: "Keep fighting!" ”
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
A crisp whip sounded.
- Bang Bang Bang
The sound of whips whipping flesh echoed through the air.
The whip was whipped to the flesh, and the whip saw blood, and the flesh and blood on Wang Renbiao's buttocks and thighs were blurred.
Ang Lee was unmoved.
Suddenly, the jailer who was executing raised his whip and did not beat it.
Wang Renbiao's head was tilted to the side, already unconscious.
The executioner hesitated to smoke any more, and looked back at Li Anyan.
Li Anyan said coldly: "Keep fighting!" ”
The jailer said timidly: "If you fight again, you will die." ”
Li Anyan said without doubt: "Continue to fight ......"
……
Outside the west gate of Chang'an City, the people who entered and exited the city gate were endless, and several soldiers were holding spears and guarding the city gate.
The captain of the city guard looked at the sky and shouted, "The hour is coming, close the door!" ”
With a creaking sound, the gates slowly closed.
However, at this moment, a hurried sound of horses' hooves sounded.
The captain of the city guard followed the prestige, and saw a post man carrying a pond newspaper riding a fast horse, galloping in the dust.
There were still hundreds of steps before he opened the far gate, so he raised the five-color inverted pennant in his hand and shouted: "Emergency military situation!" ”
The captain's face changed, and he raised his hand and said, "Open the door!" ”
The postman galloped into the open gate.
……
The provincial government hall under the door, outside the government hall, a group of forbidden army warriors, holding swords and straddles, do not squint.
A hall official held a pond newspaper, his steps were like the wind, and he walked into the political hall.
The governor yawned and shook his aching back.
With the sound of drums in the distance, the time for the next shift has arrived. As if in the future generations after a thousand years, Dai Guan, who was originally weak in his limbs, regained his strength, got up and said: "Lower value, lock down!" ”
However, at this time, a hall official walked up to Dai Zhou with a post pawn Tang newspaper.
Dai Xuan took the Tang Bao and looked at it, his face changed greatly, and he said hurriedly: "Someone is coming!"
A subordinate official came in, bowed down and saluted Dai Guan, "Great ginseng." ”
Dai Xuan said: "Go and ask, which permanent attendant is on duty in the Taiji Hall today?" ”
The cousin looked at him in amazement.
Dai Xuan's cold face did not have the slightest smile, and said coldly: "I want to face the saint." ”
……
The Tai Chi Hall is brightly lit.
Wearing a body uniform, he bowed down and stood solemnly under the danqi.
On the Dan Qi, Li Jiancheng was dressed in regular clothes, standing in front of the bookcase, with an unconcealed anger on his face, and asked in a low voice: "What do you say about this?" ”
Dai Xuan replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is nonsense. ”
In Dai Xuan's eyes, the 800-mile fast ride is actually the fastest speed for the imperial court to transmit news. To travel this 800-mile journey, it is necessary to prepare nearly 30 post stations along the way, and it is necessary to transfer more than 30 stagecoaches.
Usually the troops marched, at best, three hundred miles a day, which was very generous like the Anxi army, and each cavalryman carried three war horses, and rode in turn, but it was only a little more than four hundred miles a day.
Whether it is a post soldier or a cavalry, they must advance lightly, otherwise they will not be able to achieve such speed. Even if you can barely achieve this speed, it will be a great torture for the knight on horseback.
However, Chen Ying can travel more than 1,000 miles a day, which is faster than riding 800 miles. It took five days to arrive at Yumen Pass and six days to Lanzhou.
This is impossible to do at all, even if the Anxi army is a strong general, but Chen Ying still has Li Ruoxi, who is less than three years old, and Chen Qian, who is seven or eight years old, by his side, these children can't stand the toss.
Li Jiancheng said angrily: "The case is in the pond, and the military post is walking, and it is urgent for eight hundred miles, day and night. Within 12 days, arrive in Beijing. Ordinary music, go to the official post, and it will take 27 days to arrive in Beijing. How could I have known that they were so ridiculous......"
Li Jiancheng laughed angrily and said: "Are you really bold, these thieves, do you still take the imperial court in your eyes?" Do you still take me into account? ”
Dai Xuan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is appalling!" Be strict with the survey. The Department of the Ministry of Arms and the Department of Driving, when issuing an edict to ask for guilt, in order to deter Xiaoxiao and warn the world. ”
Li Jiancheng's face sank like water, and he asked casually, "Where is Chen Ying?" ”
Dai Xuan was stunned for a moment and said: "Back to Your Majesty, if you report according to the Tang report, I'm afraid that you will already be at Chencang Pass at this time!" ”
Li Jiancheng said angrily: "The government hall will prepare the etiquette department and start to greet the matter according to the arrangement!" ”
In fact, at this moment, Li Jiancheng still didn't believe that Chen Ying could arrive in Guanzhong in just eight days.
You must know that from Anxi Shule City to Chang'an, it is more than 10,000 miles, and I am afraid that I will not be able to fly in eight days.
Dai Xuan hesitated for a moment, forced himself to suppress the urge to speak, and bowed his head and responded: "The minister is in order." ”
……
Until this time, Li Xiuning still felt that he was dreaming, the climate in Anxi was completely different from the climate in Guanzhong, especially the air with water mist, the kind of wind with water vapor, like a pair of invisible hands, caressing his face, with indescribable pleasure.
Although Li Xiuning was extremely tired, he still said excitedly: "Chen Lang, you tell me, I'm not dreaming!" ”
Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning and said seriously: "Sanniang, you are not dreaming, we have arrived in Guanzhong!" ”
In fact, this speed is already a snail crawling for future generations. In later generations, if you take a plane, the distance from Anxi to Chang'an will take about three and a half hours, and if you take a high-speed rail, it will only take about 16 hours (there is no high-speed rail so far). Even the slowest slow train, that is, less than two days.
And the Bison train deserves its name. Although the speed was not slow, the vibration was very large, making Chen Ying almost feel deaf in his ears.
Eight days has almost made Chen Ying feel collapsed.
Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning and said with a smile: "If Datang wants to rule the world, it must increase its speed, and now with the steam engine train, everything is possible!" ”
In ancient times, it has always been called unification, but in fact, this is only a literal unity, and remote areas are still autonomous. The imperial court simply can't control it.
Not because there are not enough officials, nor because the officials are extremely incompetent, but because of the distance. For example, from Chang'an to Lingnan Panyu, the walking speed of this era is still the same, so it is not saved, it will take at least three months, and if it is because of the weather, this time is even longer.
If a rebellion breaks out in Lingnan, the children will have time to give birth.
Like in the battle of Talas in history, Gao Xianzhi was defeated, and the imperial court immediately relieved Gao Xianzhi of his position as the protector of Anxi, and appointed Feng Changqing as the protector of Anxi. A full year, five months, and twenty-three days have passed.
Remember, this is just the appointment of the envoys of the four towns of Anxi in Changqing, and as for the soldiers and horses lost by the Anxi Protectorate, it is too late to send additional troops. Wait for Feng Changqing to lead Anxi to attack the Great Bolu Kingdom (present-day Palertistan, Kashmir). By the time we entered the city of Pursa Lao (in the area of present-day central Kashmir), it was already the 11th day of December in the twelfth year of Tianbao, and more than two years and four months had passed since the Battle of Talas.
If there had been a train at that time, which could transport troops and supplies at any time, the outcome of the Battle of Talas would definitely have been rewritten, and the Tang army would definitely have been able to fight a big cannibal and call Dad.
As a leading general, Li Xiuning naturally saw this.
With the train, Datang can react quickly at any time, quickly know the accidents that occur in remote areas, and can also quickly quell civil strife or support foreign invasions.
Li Xiuning hugged Chen Ying affectionately and said, "Thank you, Chen Lang......"
"Why do we husband and wife need to be so polite!" Chen Ying hugged Li Xiuning, looked at the night sky and said, "This is exactly the prosperous Tang Dynasty I want to see!" ”
……
In Zheng Rentai's village courtyard outside Luoyang City, Zheng Rentai woke up and opened his eyes to see the green light coming in through the window, and the fog was very heavy.
The two warm bodies that tossed his bones so much that they were about to fall apart in the night were as slippery as nephrite, pressing on his chest left and right, and he was sleeping soundly, and his slightly exposed shoulders were as white as snow.
Zheng Rentai's hand touched the fat big ass of the woman on the left hand side under the quilt, the woman squirmed in her sleep, and the two big lumps of meat on her chest kneaded Zheng Rentai's ribs and screamed comfortably, and her slender legs also wrapped Zheng Rentai's hairy thighs tighter.
Jung In-tae was in the mood and hooked his fingers to dig into the woman's plump buttocks, when the sound of ......galloping horses' hooves broke through the silence of the early morning.
The big event is in the future, and Zheng Rentai has been unable to sleep and eat for the past few days. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves like the beat of drums in the early morning, the sexuality that Zheng Rentai had just raised was like the first snow poured with hot water, and suddenly disappeared, and he turned over and sat up, looking at the window alertly and blankly, not knowing what was happening again.
The two beautiful concubines also woke up, poked their heads out of the brocade quilt, looked at Zheng Rentai suspiciously, and said, "What happened?" ”
The people in the outer guard's room were also startled by the sound of horses' hooves, and heard someone shouting from a distance: "Lord, something is wrong, Wang Renbiao and Wang Gongzi have an accident!" ”
"What happened to Wang Renbiao?" Jung In-tae climbed out of bed, stood barefoot on the bed pedals, and ordered, "Bring your clothes quickly." ”
Seeing Zheng Rentai's grim expression, the two concubines didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly got out of bed to help him get the robe, they were naked and snow-white, and they didn't care about getting dressed, so they waited for Zheng Rentai to get dressed first.
Zheng Rentai couldn't wait for the placket to be tied, so he went to the outside room in an open robe, and the two concubines calmly dressed and dressed.
Everyone outside spoke in a suppressed voice, and after a while, I only saw a "clang" sound, I don't know who smashed the teacup on the brick floor and smashed it, the two concubines were startled, and their eyebrows were crooked, and then they heard Zheng Rentai so gloomy that people only shuddered in their hearts: "Waste, waste, no one in life, no corpse in death - which military intelligence are you investigating?" They all eat! Find out who took the kidnap for me......"
At this time, a green-shirted staff member muttered: "Lord, the Taiyuan Wang family is not a small family, who dares to touch their people?" ”
"You mean ......"
Zheng Rentai hesitated for a moment and said, "You mean...... Left prison guard? ”
"Quite possibly!" The staff analyzed: "The Taiyuan Wang clan is famous in the world, ordinary robbers, who dares to offend the Taiyuan Wang clan?" ”
Zheng Rentai is not a fool, the Taiyuan Wang family lost Wang Renbiao, it is absolutely impossible to be an ordinary kidnapping case.
Zheng Rentai muttered: "I know this matter in my heart, it is likely that the news has leaked, and now ...... Hurry up and inform the other families that the arrow is ready and they have to send it, so that they can prepare their manpower and equipment and wait for the opportunity to move! ”
Speaking of which, Zheng Rentai hurriedly instructed his subordinates to settle his wife and children first, and it was best to send them outside Chang'an, the farther away from Chang'an, the better!
Zheng, who was originally calm, instantly poured a basin of water into the boiling oil and boiled.
The room was suddenly pushed open, Zheng Rentai strode in, went to get the saber on the desk, saw that the concubine sitting on the dressing table was looking at him in horror, hesitated for a while, and said, "You guys clean up quickly, don't pay attention to those useless things...... Come with me to the barracks!"
The two concubines were even more stunned when they heard Zheng Rentai's words: "What happened?" “
However, they didn't dare to ask Zheng Rentai again.
If you don't use it well, you will be beaten. They are not wives, but concubines, and concubines have no human rights.
