Chapter 43: The Attempted Scheme
Both of the injured Yulin soldiers were injured by heavy objects, resulting in fractures, one of which was a comminuted fracture of the left arm and the other was a fracture of the tibia of the lower leg. didn't ask much, and hurriedly ordered someone to send the two of them to the flying saucer and fly straight to the palace at the foot of the mountain, where there was an operating room built by Ouyang Xuan according to the later generations, with everything available, the only difference from the later generations was that there were no nurses, and the people who fought were all the medical officers of the Yulin Army, and these medical officers could become medical saints if they were put outside, but they had been silently following Ouyang Xuan to learn medical skills and training. The fracture of the tibia of the lower leg is very easy to deal with, there is no difficulty, but the humerus of the gentleman was broken into four sections, and he had to be surgically reduced to ensure that the function will not be impaired due to healing deviations in the future. Ouyang Xuan has done a lot of this kind of surgery, even in the operating room of this palace, he has done a lot for the herdsmen, so he is naturally familiar with it.
The operation was completed at dawn, and Ouyang Xuan checked it and made sure that it met the requirements before he walked out of the operating room. When they inquired about the situation, it turned out that when they were searching for the mountain, they found a bright light on the top of a snowy mountain, and when they went up to explore, they were hastily wounded by a one-armed man with a club. It's a one-armed man again, and this person has appeared many times in Ouyang Xuan's impression. The first time was when a Han Chinese was cut off his arm while suppressing bandits, could it be that the one-armed man now is the same person back then? Why do you always go against yourself? Everything is a mystery. Either way, it ended in failure.
Returning to the mountain with two wounded, these two people are still more relieved to take care of themselves. Ordered a guard to take one person's Super Gathering Gunpowder Energy Body and send it to Tai Shuxuan, and told him how to use it. Hurriedly went back to the room to make up for sleep, and the sheep naturally let Buick and Guli go to the grazing. I slept until the afternoon, and when I woke up, I hurriedly ate some food, and went to see the wounded again, and there was no serious problem. The effect of the graupel energy made them recover quickly, so that Ouyang Xuan didn't need to worry about it, let them describe the appearance of the one-armed man, and Ouyang Xuan took up the pen to paint. After more than 100 revisions, a portrait emerges on paper. After letting the two of them confirm that it was correct, they found the Yulin Army who participated in the suppression of bandits to confirm it again, it was indeed this person, and Ouyang Xuan revised it dozens of times under their description before he confessed. Ouyang Xuan took a closer look at this person's appearance. Meiyu is very familiar with each other, very similar to Liu Hui. He ordered the portraits to be taken and the men who had seen the one-armed man to confirm it.
At dinnertime, Uncle Tai Xuan led the white wolf and the Phoenix Emperor to drive Ouyang Xuan's flock of sheep to visit Ouyang Xuan. As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he shouted loudly: "I said Gongzi, the little woman took you to herd sheep for a day today, do you have to be rewarded with some food?" This voice made Ouyang Xuan stunned, and then came out of the study and said with a smile: "There are a lot of affairs today, thank you here." Someone came, prepared a pot stove and baking stove in the courtyard, and a certain girl personally cooked a table of meals." "No!".
In less than a quarter of an hour, a marching stainless steel stove was erected in the courtyard. "It's a good thing, it's good for marching and fighting. Childe has gone to such great lengths, and the little woman is very honored."
"Haha, it's just a simple meal. Why do you still want to watch the enemy see the battle? ”。“ With this intention, it is also good to learn the cooking skills of the child." Ouyang Xuan went back to the room to change into coarse cloth clothes, returned to the stove, and quickly restructured the prepared vegetables and meat with extremely skilled knife work. followed by frying, cooking, and finally barbecue, all of which are good dishes developed by Ouyang Xuan for more than 100 years. Nowadays, there are many spices in Massachusetts (present-day Indonesian archipelago) in China, which have become commonplace for ordinary people, but Ouyang Xuan uses the best of the best, and the dishes made by years of research and cooking are extraordinary. After a while, Tai Shuxuan's eyes were worth it, and his mouth was already wide open. Ouyang Xuan looked back and said, "What's the matter?" Look at your gluttony, just wait a while, the meat hasn't been roasted yet, and that needs to be heated." Tai Shuxuan reacted a little gaffe at this time. hurriedly said: "That's enough, that yellow and tender one looks very good, what kind of food is it?" ”。“ Tender tofu, stir-frying this can take effort. Come on, go and bring a new little oven, and let the uncle and girl try the new barbecue today."
"Oh? A new style of barbecue? This little woman should taste it." A moment later a table was erected in the courtyard, on which was placed a square stove of pine wood, and on top of it was a black square stone plate, slightly raised on all sides. The guards brought Ouyang Xuan's prepared meal to the table, as well as several plates of beef slices that had been cut into thin slices and frozen, two plates of soybeans mixed with cumin, chili peppers, and spices to make a dipping sauce, and two plates of Korean-style chili sauce made with red peppers, which were taught by a Korean who Ouyang Xuan had met after he changed jobs.
Everything was ready to stop, and the fire in the furnace had already burned the slate very hot, and some soybean oil was poured on it. Put the beef slices marinated with seasoning on the stone slab and grill them, and beckon Tai Shuxuan to sit down and prepare for the meal. For Ouyang Xuan's way of catering, it was the first time that Tai Shuxuan had seen it. Some inexplicably asked, "This is also taught by the respected teacher?" ”。“ Haha, no, it's something I figured it out, and it was improved by someone else."
The meat slices were quickly roasted, and Ouyang Xuan demonstrated how to eat them, dipping the roasted meat slices in dry ingredients and chili sauce and eating them, and then adding new meat on top. Tai Shuxuan ate the first bite of meat, and immediately couldn't hold it, without Ouyang Xuan's concession, he kept putting pieces of meat on his plate, and he was still salivating at Peng's fried dishes just now, but now he completely ignored it, and he was trying to barbecue meat. "Eat slowly, there's a lot of meat. Don't worry, don't be like a squirrel, puff out your cheeks and eat." After saying that, you asked the guards to go to the cold room to get a few plates of beef and mutton, and roasted two leg of mutton for Buick and Guli by the way. These two guys are very uninterested in this kind of barbecue, but they are only interested in the leg of lamb.
Tai Shuxuan ate three plates of meat before he stopped, and he didn't move a single chopstick for other dishes. While rubbing his stomach, he said: "I'm going to die, or your son will eat, I'm afraid His Majesty the Emperor won't be able to eat such a delicious taste, right?" ”。
"The girl really guessed right, the current emperor really can't eat it. He likes vegetarian meals, and the girl tastes other dishes cooked by a certain one, which is the usual meal of His Majesty today." "If you don't eat it, if you eat it again, you'll break your belly. Childe seems to be very clear about the current royal family, I don't know what the origin is? Uncle Tai Xuan blinked his big eyes and looked at Ouyang Xuan and asked.
"Haha, just a little bit of a dealing. Are you used to using those two knives? Ouyang Xuan said with a slice of meat.
"Well, it's pretty good, with this knife, the little woman can walk the rivers and lakes and be chivalrous in the world."
"Don't, chivalrous things, it's better to go to Han Land. Huaxia is now a country and a country of peace and security, and it is not tolerated to violate the ban with chivalry. It is also a kind of life to put some cattle and sheep on this mountain with peace of mind. Small hidden and mountains and rivers, hidden in the market, big hidden and the opposition. The girl's skills, there are not many people in the world, or feel at ease in this mountain and river, and it is also a good choice to teach apprentices. The capable are silent, and the foolish are revealed. The edge is exposed, and it is easy to be destroyed".
"Oh, how can the words of the son be consistent with what the brother said, isn't it the son and the brother who colluded?"
"Oh? Such a subtle reason, there are still people who have something to do with someone? ”。“ Not really. My brother also said something similar. Send the little girl into this deep mountain to accompany her grandfather, teach the shepherd some self-defense and exorcism techniques, and keep the property safe."
"Where did Brother Ling come from? What is your job now? ”。“ Alas, my brother studied at Jingcheng University since he was a child. After graduating, he taught at the university, and his grandfather wanted him to take over the family industry, but his brother was bored with officials and businessmen, and only liked to teach and study for fun. It's not early, so the little girl will say goodbye and go back to eat. This kind of barbecue method and stove are very good, can you give a pair of little girls? ”。
"Haha, that's fine. Later, I asked someone to send them over, but these dishes have not yet been eaten, and they will have lost their initial umami tomorrow morning, so it is better to put them in a food box and eat them with my uncle." "So, Xuan thanked Gongzi", after speaking, he got up and bowed, and walked back and forth around the courtyard.
The moon has climbed the mountain, and the setting sun has dyed half of the sky blood-red. Under the sunset, Tai Shuxuan was dressed in white, covering the afterglow of the sunset, as if blending into the sunset. A poem casually recited: "The sunset is red, and the moon is on the east mountain; The afterglow shadow of the Yiren, the moonlight white glaze; Take a stroll in the evening, and catch the sun and the moon with childlike innocence".
"Haha, Childe's resignation is blurted out, which is very good. If Xuan hadn't seen it herself, she wouldn't have believed it."
"A casual remark made the girl smile."
After the guards put the uneaten dishes into the food box, Uncle Tai Xuan took the food box and said goodbye to Ouyang Xuan, and walked towards the direction of the service point with the horse in a hurry. Ouyang Xuan turned around and said to the commander of the guards: "Send some people to protect Uncle Tai and the girl along the way, and send more people around the store." Protect my uncle's family with me", somehow, Ouyang Xuan had a bad premonition. "No!".
Tai Shuxuan walked all the way, ate too much, and had to walk to relieve the discomfort in his stomach. The road is not very far, only less than three miles away, and it only takes half an hour to walk slowly to become Taoist. Not in a hurry, I hung the food box in the saddle. Humming a little song, stroll through the moonlight of the alpine steppe. Don't worry about safety at all, just like Ouyang Xuan said, there are really not many people who can stand out from the right. But what should come is still coming back, and you can't be deterred by your skills.
When they reached a mile from the service point, three men in black suddenly appeared in front of them, all dressed in black and wearing black masks. Holding a one-meter-long scimitar, he was standing on the way back to Uncle Tai. One of them said, "Little girl, come with us." Don't resist, I'll wait for some lives under the knife."
Tai Shuxuan was not afraid of the sudden robbers at all, but was a little excited. "If you want to fight this girl's idea, are you too weak?" As he spoke, he pulled out two golden short knives that shimmered blue from the sheath at his waist, clasped them behind his back, and stood in front of the horse. "Don't toast and don't eat, eat and drink. When I was able to get through the layers of levels and come here, I had no fear. Thinking that Ru Huangmao has not retreated, it is better to go with us obediently. lest you be a ghost."
"The Holy Emperor once said that China is a peaceful paradise. Let the bandits run rampant, that is, but let the horses come. This girl really has not been afraid." Seeing that the words were ineffective, the three of them had no choice but to raise their knives and go straight to Tai Shuxuan. Under the moonlight, I saw a white light with blue light drawing an arc, and I heard three crisp sounds, followed by the sound of a puff knife entering the flesh. Before the three of them could react, the knife in their hands had already fallen to the ground with their arms broken, and blood was like a fountain on the side of their necks. The speed was so fast that the Yulin Army, who was secretly protecting Tai Shuxuan, sighed to himself. I had to close the safety of the rifle and turn it back from both sides. Walking in front of Uncle Taixuan, one of the chiefs arched his hand and said, "Uncle Girl, this fighting skill is very wonderful. It's just that the attack is a little too fast, and there is no room for survival, so that we can verify the source and cut off the source." "Why is Brother Huang here? Isn't it appointed by the child? ”。
The chief, surnamed Huang, took off the masks of the three of them and said, "That's right, my father-in-law was a little uneasy after the girl left. Send us to protect the girl secretly. I never thought that when there were bandits, before they could show up, the girl would behead these three people, and I admired them so much." said that the masks of the three people were taken off one after another, all of them were Chinese, and they didn't see any characteristics. Only the knife is very special, slender and slightly bent upward, judging by the steel, it should be made in China. He took down the knives of the three people and prepared to take them back to Ouyang Xuan for judgment. Tai Shuxuan took a knife and looked at it and said: "This knife should be cast by Momen, and it is a commonly used knife in Momen."
"Oh? Uncle and girl know this knife? ”。“ I heard the master say that Momen often uses knives of this type, but the knife technique of the three people is not Momen knife method." After speaking, he gave the knife to Yulin Shichang, who was surnamed Huang. As he was about to lead the horse, a loud voice came from the right. "Uncle and girl are really knowledgeable, but her life is short, and she is blind to the girl's skills."
"If you want to take this girl's life, you still show up to see it." As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen black shadows sprang out from the low-lying ground on both sides. The leader is a bear-backed, dressed in black and wearing a black mask. Holding the same long knife as the three people just now, the knife pointed at Uncle Tai Xuan and said: "My lord just wanted to invite the girl to the house for a gathering, but I never thought that the girl was ruthless, don't blame the old man for being rude." After saying that, he held the knife with both hands, raised it to his shoulder, and ran over. Uncle Xuan was just about to act, but was stopped by Huang Shichang. Seeing that these five Yulin soldiers were not afraid at all, holding weapons in their hands that she didn't recognize, they broke a buckle one after another, almost just when these more than ten people had just entered the range of three hundred steps, and suddenly there was a bang, the sound was very muffled, and it might not be heard from a distance. A moment later, only the leader was left kneeling on the ground, bleeding from his legs, his arms were long gone, the stubble was still spurting blood, and the others had already returned to the world. After the gunfire stopped, Huang Shichang quickly stepped forward and tied the severed limb tightly with a rope, and stuffed the sackcloth he found somewhere into his mouth. "Lao Wang hurried back to find someone to get this waste back to Xingyuan." As he spoke, he pointed to a Yulin soldier, "No! The soldier flew on his horse and went straight away. The remaining four formed a battle formation, placing the masked man with crippled limbs on horseback, and the escort Tai Shuxuan walked towards the service point.
Tai Shuxuan is no longer able to describe it with shock, he thinks that it will take a lot of trouble to deal with these more than ten people, but he didn't expect that these five people used special weapons, and more than a dozen people were killed on the spot in an instant. Before arriving at the service point, the Yulin Army who went back had already brought a team of men and horses back, escorted the man in black back to Xingyuan, and left fifty people to protect the service point, plus the original team, a total of more than 100 people, set up light and dark sentry posts, and guarded around the service point.
The people in black finally opened up the truth of the matter under the cruel interrogation of the Yulin Army, it turned out that they were also the descendants of Guiguzi, and they were ordered by the master, and the senior brother Liu De took them to assassinate Ouyang Xuan, because he was afraid of the powerful guards around Ouyang Xuan, so he could only secretly carry out the assassination. After the last time he failed to assassinate with wild beasts during the earthquake, he used to kidnap the people who were cautious about communicating with Ouyang Xuan to force Ouyang Xuan to comply, so as to achieve their goal. Among the herdsmen on the mountain, there was one of their secret sentinels, secretly observing Ouyang Xuan's every move.
After reading the confession, Ouyang Xuan ordered the secret sentry to be quickly arrested, and the 10,000 Yulin troops under the mountain were transferred to the mountain overnight to search for Liu De. According to the confession of the man in black, they will join in the yurt of the secret whistle, this time through Wensu County, Qiuzi Prefecture, over the 5,000-meter snow mountain, along the mountain beam of the snow mountain, climbed for two months before Ouyang Xuan arrived, rushed here, captured nearly a thousand beasts, and made a mechanism. There were 300 people when they entered the mountain from Qiuzi, and less than 100 people left when they arrived here and joined the outposts. He led more than a dozen people to commit the hijacking, and dozens of people under the leadership of Liu De were waiting to be assassinated near the secret sentinel yurt. When I was about to ask about something else, this guy actually committed suicide by hitting his head against a wall.
Just when Ouyang Xuan had just sent people to arrest the light and dark sentry and Liu De's entourage, a guard came to report: "Your Majesty, there is an early warning at the post house."
"Order, strictly guard, send two teams of men and horses to follow me to the post house." "No!".
