Chapter 128: Attacked
"The road is all walked by yourself, if you don't take it yourself, it is impossible for others to push you onto this road, so when something happens, don't blame others for hurting you!" Li Yuanji said calmly.
He already had absolute reason to believe that Wei Chi Jingde must have heard what they had just said.
As he said, the road is all taken by himself, even if he is reported to Li Er by Wei Chi Jingde, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, I only admitted that the gunpowder was put by myself, which still can't change the final outcome.
"Eldest Sun Wuji should thank you, at least you let him go down in history in another way!" Wei Chi Jingde let out a deep breath, and finally stopped looking up at the sky.
"It doesn't matter! This king has a way, why bother with this one? Li Yuanji also calmly said that the invention of gunpowder had indeed changed the entire history of mankind, and as the inventor, in fact, his name had long been forgotten.
The four words of the eldest grandson Wuji may not be forgotten, because it will definitely be recorded in the history books, but so what? With that kind of gunpowder ratio, it's okay to set off a cannon and listen to the sound, but if you make a pound at most, you will blow up a leg.
"I won't tell Your Majesty about this matter, I just hope you can keep your promise and let them live." Wei Chi Jingde turned his head to look at Li Yuanji and said seriously.
The previous silence was thinking about this matter, he didn't know how to choose, but the final result was the same, he didn't want to watch the descendants of the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian being killed, so he could only exchange this matter with Li Yuanji.
"This king doesn't have time to compete with two hairy boys!" Li Yuanji laughed and said in a dignified manner.
……
Wei Chi Jingde's mood is not high, Li Yuanji is also bored, everyone in the family seems to be busy with things, and he is the only idler.
Ordered someone to get a deck of cards out, and when they were bored, they could only kill time by playing cards, and only bored people would be hooked on this kind of game.
"A circle! Haha, the old man only has one card left, see how you win! ”
On the carriage, the cold wind continued to pour into the car through the cracks in the curtain, and even if the brazier was lit, the car was still cold and biting.
The cold temperature did not extinguish the enthusiasm of the three of them, and after two days of depression, Wei Chi Jingde became obsessed with cards, which shows how powerful the temptation of cards is.
In the past day, there have been more than 100 fights against landlords, and Yu Chi Jingde has never won once, Chunhua's kid always secretly sends cakes to Li Yuanji, and Yu Chi Jingde can't wait to clean up the goods ruthlessly.
Today, Li Yuanji wants to go out of the city to find land, that is, the 30 hectares of land that Li Shimin promised him, Li Yuanji said that he would set it aside before the year, and then start sorting out the reserve after the year.
In the car, Wei Chi Jingde, who only had one card left, was excited, he had lost almost the same amount of money along the way, and Li Yuanji, who was a landlord, did not have a single card.
"Hehe, as a general, don't you know that there is a saying that soldiers don't get tired of cheating?" Li Yuanji smiled, looked at Yu Chi Jingde's villainous appearance, and coldly pulled out four threes.
The excited face instantly stiffened there, and with such a cold weather, I didn't know that I thought it was a piece of human-shaped bacon.
"How can you blow it up?" Wei Chi Jingde picked up the cards on the table with a face of disbelief, flipped around, and found that there was no three, and then looked at Chunhua and threatened: "Don't tell the old man that you don't have three in your hand?" ”
Chunhua nodded honestly, he really didn't have three in his hand.
"Three to a circle, three guns with a four, I only have one left!" As he spoke, Li Yuanji threw the king in his hand on the table.
"No more playing! Don't play anymore! It's not interesting for you masters and servants to bully me alone! Wei Chi Jingde pushed the cards on the table forward like crazy, pinched his chest, and complained with great dissatisfaction.
"A few more, you can't sit in the car and stare at each other, right?" Li Yuanji was a little reluctant, and the days when he didn't play cards were too boring.
"It's okay to have a few more, let this kid be the local master, and the two of us will be farmers, otherwise I won't fight!" Wei Chi Jingde rarely lost his temper, he had never been with Li Yuanji, and he had never won.
"Okay, then let's do it!"
……
Laughter in the car, Yu Chi Jingde swept away the previous haze, and after becoming a farmer with Li Yuanji, the majestic Yu Chi Jingde killed all sides on the card field, winning five in a row, Chunhua wiped his forehead with trembling hands, although there was no sweat, but the pile of money in front of him was rapidly decreasing.
Just when the three of them were having fun with each other, laughing frequently, and Wei Chi Jingde, who had been laughing wildly for most of the day, still couldn't bear it, the carriage suddenly stopped.
The three of them didn't care, and continued to play with the cards in their hands, faintly, they could hear voices coming from outside the car, one side was the voice of pleading, and the other side was impatiently driving away.
After doing the carriage all the way, his legs and feet were also a little stiff, and just after a game, Li Yuanji pulled the two of them out of the carriage.
Tighten the neckline, I have to say, the inside of the car is still warmer than the outside.
Without waiting for the servant to report, Li Yuanji, who got out of the carriage, also understood the reason.
More than a dozen thin and weak homeless people of different ages were standing or lying, wearing clothes that were not thick, their hands were dark red from the cold, and their bodies were shivering uncontrollably.
Li Yuanji asked himself if he was not a good person, but he was by no means an evil person, he was too cold for such a strong man, not to mention the old, weak, sick and disabled who lacked food and clothing.
Waving his hand, Yu Xin couldn't bear to say: "Give them some food, and find some clothes and quilts for them!" ”
"No!" Chunhua agreed, and ran to the carriage behind him.
When King Qi travels, he doesn't say anything to prepare, but on such a cold day, he must bring some clothes and quilts, which are loaded in the car behind and taken out.
Wei Chi Jingde frowned slightly, and followed closely behind Li Yuanji, now is not a disaster year, where did so many homeless people come from?
And at this time, the displaced people can't get here at all, and I haven't heard of any counties in the vicinity that have been affected by the disaster.
"Who are you? Why did you end up here? The sudden appearance of this group of homeless people caused Wei Chi Jingde to hesitate, and he half-stopped in front of Li Yuanji and asked the old man standing at the front.
"The little Cao Laosan, a native of Xinping, Fenzhou, went to Chang'an to seek refuge with his family because of the war, but he encountered gangsters on the way, and there were only these of more than 40 people in the family, and the rations and clothes were all robbed by the gangsters. The old man dragged his weak body and said weakly.
"Fenzhou? War? Wei Chi Jingde was stunned, how could there be a war in Fengzhou? It is an area close to the capital.
"Not good!" Li Yuanji was instantly shocked: "It's Li Yi!" ”
'Hiss......' Wei Chi Jingde couldn't help but gasp, Li Yuanji had reminded Li Shimin that Li Yi had changed his mind, and Li Shimin also wanted to deal with it at that time, but so many things happened one after another, and he didn't have time to deal with it at all, but he just sent someone to send an edict to Li Yi, ordering him to report on his work in Chang'an, and planned to take him down for interrogation after he returned to Chang'an.
"How many soldiers and horses does the other side have?" Li Yuanji asked with concern.
"I don't know the small ones, anyway, there are a lot of them, it seems that Xinping City was knocked down by them overnight." Cao Laosan said that he didn't know the specific situation as an ordinary person.
But in his early years, he was a government soldier, and after many years of war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Cao Laosan felt that something was going to happen when he saw those soldiers, so he hurriedly took his family to Chang'an to join his relatives, but there was still a problem on the way.
"Send a car to send them to Chang'an!" Li Yuanji commanded loudly, and turned to look at Wei Chi Jingde: "How is the progress on Zhijie's side?" ”
Wei Chi Jingde was stunned, but the situation was urgent, and he didn't think much about it and said, "The harness and the new bow have just been equipped for three days. ”
Three days? Li Yuanji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the harness and the new bow were all equipped, although they hadn't all adapted yet, but there was no time.
"Immediately send someone back to Chang'an, report this matter to Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to dispatch Jie's subordinates to Fengzhou as soon as possible." Li Yuanji hurriedly ordered.
"Zhijie only has a thousand troops under his command, but Li Yi has a legion in his hands, so there are not enough people at all, why don't we go back to Chang'an and think about it in the long run?" Wei Chi Jingde was a little hesitant, anyway, it is not far from Chang'an now, and it is only an hour to go back, but looking at Li Yuanji's meaning, it seems that he wants to lead the army to suppress it.
Rao changed his attitude towards Li Yuanji, but Wei Chi Jingde still didn't dare to let him come nonsense, after all, Li Shimin was the object of his real allegiance.
Realizing that he seemed to be acting a little positive, Li Yuanji nodded: "Send someone back to deliver the message first, and we will immediately turn around and return to Chang'an." ”
'Whoosh ......'
A sound of breaking the air came, and hundreds of black bows and arrows were slashed through the air, and the whole piece of black pressure was pressed, so that people could feel the huge pressure just by looking at it.
"Enemy attack......" Li Yuanji roared, pulled Chunhua back to his side and hid behind the carriage.
Wei Chi Jingde also followed, and as for those old people who were still there, there was no time to care about them anymore.
However, Li Yuanji also shouted at them, but those homeless people who had been hungry for an unknown number of days felt that it was difficult to even move their bodies at the moment, and they were even colder, just trying to make moves to dodge, and their bodies were also very disobedient, so they could only expose themselves to the attack range of the bow and arrow.
'Ding~~~'
'Poof~~~'
Hundreds of bows and arrows, some were blocked by the carriage, and some were shot into the horse's body, and the old man who couldn't dodge was directly hit by the arrow and fell to the ground, and less than five of the more than ten homeless people could still move, and they were even more panicked and at a loss at the moment.
"All on board! Retreat to the rear! ”
