Chapter 122: Who's Undercover
A willow branch was held in Li Chunfeng's hand, and it kept lighting on the water. Circles of ripples spread out in all directions with his movements.
The dragonflies flying above the water seemed to be very unwelcome to Li Chunfeng, an uninvited guest, and kept flying around Li Chunfeng, trying to drive him away.
Li Chunfeng raised his head, waved his sleeves lightly to drive these dragonflies away, and looked at the suddenly gloomy sky again.
"When the dark clouds rise in the sky, the dragonflies touch the water and wind. I'm afraid it's going to change. ”
The change in the weather also made Li Chunfeng hesitate.
You must know that Li Chunfeng is proficient in astronomy, calendrical calculations, and yin and yang, and he is also the first person in the world to grade the wind. His famous book "Yi Ji Zhan" is the earliest monograph in the history of world meteorology.
So just by seeing a cloud in the sky, he already sensed that the sky was about to change.
Taoism emphasizes the unity of nature and man, and Taoism is natural. He is not bad at divination, looking at the sudden weather, and then probing his hand to calculate lightly, but he can't help frowning.
But at this time, a Taoist priest came up to spread the word, saying that a carriage had been found five miles away. It was that Qin Ze and Erhu who came.
As soon as he heard that the target had appeared, Li Chunfeng also put away his thoughts, gently inserted the willow branch in his hand on the shore, and then walked towards the carriage.
On the other side, Qin Ze and Erhu were driving a carriage and speeding on the official road. This is the first time that Erhu has driven the carriage so fast. In the past, they were all strolling around Chang'an City.
Moreover, the ground here is uneven, and the wheels of this carriage are not too round, which can shake Qin Ze inside.
I really couldn't stand it, Qin Ze grabbed the edge of the car and poked his head out, and said to Erhu with difficulty: "You slow down." There is still time, and if it goes on like this, your young master and I have not yet arrived at the place, and there is only half a life left. ”
Out of Chang'an City, Qin Ze's face finally had a little more human touch, and he was no longer as cold as before.
He now has to deal with a physiognomy master like Yuan Tiangang, if he can't control his expression, then he will basically lose again. So no matter how angry he is now, he has to pretend that nothing happened.
Erhu naturally knew why Qin Ze was like this, he had studied it for so long, and he also understood the truth. So now when he heard Qin Ze say this, he also laughed and said, "Young Master, if the other party has an ambush on this road, if we take it slowly, won't we fall into their trap?" ”
Qin Ze was disgusted by Erhu's pretended laughter, and he had goosebumps all over his body, but he didn't have time to worry about him, because he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The road they are taking now is the official road, and if you go down from here, you will cross the Bashui Bridge in the middle, and then all the way to Lantian County. It stands to reason that this outskirts of Chang'an are naturally sparsely populated, but not to mention anything else, since he arrived here, Qin Ze has never heard a cicada chirping.
You must know that no matter how good the disguise is, it has its fatal flaw, that is, they have no way to control all the animals. The smaller the animal, the more alert it is to people, although there are still a few sparrows flying around along the way. But there is one thing that has a vigilance that cannot be deceived.
That's the cicada, the kind of thing that as long as someone is around, they will close their mouths and not make a sound......
"Erhu, stop." Qin Ze smiled playfully, lifted the entire curtain of the car, and leaned out half of his body.
"Huh?" Erhu was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Qin Ze meant. However, Wen Yan obediently stopped the carriage.
"Don't you see what's wrong?" Qin Ze waited until the carriage stopped, slowly stepped out of the carriage, and leaned on the wheels with the second tiger very casually.
Erhu looked around again, wanting to see if there were any clues. But there was nothing on the ground but their traces. There was no trace of destruction in the grass next to it, and even the shaking of the bushes on the side did not show any abnormality. And there are a few sparrows flying around, everything is normal.
Qin Ze looked around with a suspicious look on his face, but found nothing. also knows that the other party still doesn't see anything wrong. But this is not to blame the other party, after all, compared with himself, the second tiger is more than a thousand years behind.
"You remember to look at a place, you don't have to look with your eyes. Listen with your ears and smell with your nose. Speaking of this, Qin Ze pointed to a forest next to him and said, "Now that the weather is in June, don't you think there is any sound missing?" ”
"Voice?" Erhu was stunned for a moment, tilted his head and thought for a moment, and immediately reacted. He exclaimed with a look of surprise: "There are no cicadas, and there are no birds." ”
Qin Ze saw that Erhu understood, so he simply continued to explain unhurriedly: "And according to this, you can also judge their approximate range, you see that there are cicadas singing in this area, and there are also cicadas in that area, and only here is not, so it is very likely that the other party will be here." Qin Ze said and pointed to the woods.
The opponent's first target is the gunpowder on his body, so he can be sure that he is safe until then. He didn't believe that Yuan Tiangang could be ruthless directly, and killed himself without saying a word. Of course, if Qin Ze doesn't give it alive or dead, it is really possible.
It's just that Qin Ze was not flustered at all before this, but taught Erhu with great interest.
So the six people who were lying in ambush in the woods were completely stunned.
They couldn't hear what Qin Ze and Erhu were saying, but they could see each other's movements. The key is to look at the other party's appearance, and be able to guess their position as much as possible.
One of the middle-aged men standing on the outermost side also had a dignified face at this time.
They are the palace leavers of Xuandu Temple, and they are all brothers who are friends of life and death, so they naturally trust their own people. Can ...... now
There are a total of eight palace people in the Xuandu Temple, corresponding to Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, and Kun. There are six people in each palace, and the first time they were killed by Qin Ze with gunpowder on the outskirts of Chang'an, it was the Gengong people. Only one person in charge of monitoring survived the six people, and the entire army was basically wiped out.
This time, they left the palace, and they were also prepared in advance, knowing that Qin Ze didn't know kung fu, and there was only one subordinate who followed him who knew some kung fu. But because of the lessons from the past, the six of them were also more cautious. That's why they set up an ambush in this wood, wanting to catch Qin Ze and them off guard.
And just about ten zhang in front of Qin Ze and them, there was a trap they had set, as long as they went further, they would fall directly into it. At that time, even if Qin Ze had palm thunder, it would be useless.
Can ...... now
What does this mean?
"Palace Master, what should we do now?" The six people who leave the palace are ordinary Taoist priests in ordinary times, and only when they act, will they have a special status. And in order to conceal their identity, their names have also become very simple when they act.
The person at the head is the palace master, and the others are directly Gong 1 and Gong 2...... This is also to avoid being noticed by others.
Gong Yi, who spoke, was the largest of the six except for the palace master. If there is an accident in the palace master during the operation, then everyone must obey his orders. So it's understandable for him to ask now.
"Who else knows about this operation but us?" The palace master did not answer Gong Yi's words, but asked rhetorically.
If it weren't for the fact that the six people were brothers who were friends of life and death, I am afraid that ordinary people would have been infighting in the face of this situation.
At this time, on the official road, Qin Ze also stopped teaching Erhu. Instead, he looked at the woods with a smile on his face and said, "Remember that when you encounter this situation, don't rush up stupidly." They should be more tormented than us this time, maybe this meeting has already begun to go undercover? ”
Playing with people's hearts? Qin Ze knew this the most, he had read a lot of books on this subject, so he was also very confident that this meeting would be used here.
"The young master put a traitor among them?"
For Qin Ze, Erhu was completely defeated, he was obviously only one or two years older than him, but when he played strategy, even he felt a chill.
Especially Qin Ze pretends to be casual every day, and it looks like he will live as he wants tomorrow. But Erhu knew that since he had a dispute with Taoism, he had already begun to prepare for this day.
For a few months, he had just dealt with these things impermeably, and if Qin Ze hadn't even told him at the end, he would have thought that Qin Ze was wandering around every day.
So even if Qin Ze told him now that he had a traitor in the Xuandu Temple, Erhu would not suspect it.
He really regarded Qin Ze as a god, where was the Xuandu View that he could contaminate. Even if he can be contaminated, he will not touch it, the state religion of the Tang Dynasty is not something that can be touched.
"Of course there are no moles among them, but there are already from now on."
Qin Ze smiled evilly, picked up a stone from the ground, and handed it to Erhu. Then he pointed to a place in the woods and said, "Throw it in with all your strength, and if you're lucky, you should be able to hit a person." ”
"Hey, hey." Erhu took the stone and laughed twice, and without saying a word, he threw it at the place Qin Ze pointed at.
At this time, the six people who had just stabilized in the woods immediately rioted again. Because the stone was facing the palace master's position impartially, looking at this posture was clearly to see their whereabouts at a glance.
"Palace Master?" Gong Yi whispered again, wanting to ask what should be done?
The palace master stretched out his hand and pinched the stone in his hand, turned around and shouted coldly: "Go out and meet him." ”
After speaking, he walked out of the woods directly, and the other five people followed out without the slightest hesitation.
Seeing the sudden extra few people, Erhu also looked at Qin Ze with a shocked face, thinking that Qin Ze was just pointing casually, but he didn't expect to really hit someone. And looking at the other party's posture, it seems that it has hit the principal.
In fact, Qin Ze was really lucky, he just thought of himself as the other party, and then thought about where he would stand, and the result was ......
