Huineng Zen Master is good at talking, and as soon as Prince Rong went to Huguo Temple to say, he nodded and agreed, and agreed with him to go out of the city at dawn. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Nothing was said all night. Early the next morning, Prince Rong went to the Huguo Temple again, and picked up Zen Master Huineng to go out of the city together.

The old monk was dressed in a simple robe, followed by several sturdy-looking carriages, surrounded by a group of warrior monks.

Seeing the posture of the old national teacher, Prince Rong smiled strangely: "National teacher, are you going to give a gift to the Duke of Zhige?" ”

The silver-white eyebrows trembled slightly, and the old monk smiled faintly: "It's just a matter of returning the thing to its original owner...... and then closed his eyes and crossed his legs, and stopped talking.

When the group arrived at the Nanhua Gate, the general of the Kyoto garrison was already waiting there.

"Have you reported to you outside the city?" Prince Rong didn't get out of the car, so he asked through the curtain.

"It has been reported," the garrison general reported in a deep voice, "the Qin army has promised to postpone the siege of the city for two hours. ”

"Hold?" Prince Rong's face tightened, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Could it be that that guy is going to attack the city?" ”

"Yes, Lord Wang, the Qin army has already built the Cloud Ladder Arrow Tower overnight, and they will start lining up early in the morning." The garrison general replied, "I am staying where I am now, and I have not returned to the camp. ”

"This is going to talk about whether it will be successful or not." Prince Rong lowered his voice and said, "National Teacher, what do you think?" ”

The old monk who was sitting still didn't open his eyes, and his lips moved slightly: "Wait and see." ”

What a bad idea! Prince Rong sneered, and then said to the outside of the car: "Open the door, send more soldiers to follow." ”

"Five thousand soldiers and horses have already been dispatched," the general outside whispered, "Any more will make people laugh......" The soldiers couldn't help but sneer...... Yesterday, the two envoys went out with a team of 100 people, and today it is the turn of His Royal Highness the Prince, and 5,000 is too little, which shows that the noble man is really gold.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness in the carriage did not see it. After the city gate was opened, under the escort of 5,000 Qi troops, they marched towards the enemy camp ten miles away.

After a while, they ran into the Qin army lined up outside the city, blocking the way of the envoys of the Qi State.

The escort general hurriedly stepped forward with the prince's Jieyue and said to the Qin ** team blocking the road: "We are the team of His Royal Highness Prince Rong of Great Qi and Master Huineng, the Zen Master of the Protector of the Country, and we went to negotiate with His Royal Highness Prince Cheng of your country by order of His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qi. ”

Only then did Qin Jun make a sigh and split to both sides, making way for him.

The troops of the Qi State slowly marched towards the rear of the Qin State under the ill-intentioned gaze of the Qin troops on both sides.

Through the gap in the car window, Prince Rong saw that his eyes were full of heavily armed and wolf-like Qin soldiers, and he couldn't see the edge. Until entering the Qin army camp, there were still many swords and guns, shoulder to shoulder, and the number of them was unknown.

"How many troops is this?" Prince Rong leaned softly on the back of his chair and asked softly.

"It's a sea of people." Monk Huineng also opened his eyes and said with a solemn face: "Let's go to the capital city wall so wide, if we really provoke them, it's not certain whether we can hold it." ”

"Well, try to make it happen." The carriage stopped, and Prince Rong helped the old monk get out of the car.

When he took out the national credentials and stated that he represented the identity of the Son of Heaven, a Qin military captain said angrily: "Wait." So he went in to report and hung the two of them directly on the spot.

Whether it is Prince Rong or Zen Master Huineng, they are all top and noble figures in the Qi Kingdom, how can they ever encounter such a cold reception? I couldn't help but feel tight, and my mood became even more nervous.

After waiting for a long time, the captain came out and said, "Come in." ”

As soon as the two entered the big tent, they saw two rows of Qin generals on the left and right, looking at them with fierce eyes. After the first big case, a young man in a black robe sat on a tiger-skin chair. He looked at them with a gloomy expression, and his cold eyes made the two of them shudder.

"I don't know who is in the hall?" Prince Rong asked, he had seen the little proton a few years ago, and he was quite impressed by his cowardly appearance, and he really couldn't connect with the king in front of him who was not angry and arrogant.

"Bold!" The generals on both sides shouted in unison: "Who else can sit in my army tent?" Who dares to sit on the throne of my lord? ”

This sudden shout frightened the two nobles of the Qi Kingdom, and they said in their hearts: 'Is this a military camp?' How does it look like you've entered a bandit's den? ’

"In Xia Qi Guorong, I have seen His Royal Highness Prince Qin Cheng." How dare Prince Rong mention the stubble of 'Zhige Gong' again, and saluted Qin Lei with a sincere face. Monk Huineng also greeted Qin Lei and saluted.

"Excuse me." Qin Lei nodded slightly, which was considered to be a return of the salute, and glanced at the two empty seats on the left and said, "Sit down." ”

The two thanked each other first, and then sat down and spoke softly. There is a basket of nonsense, and the central idea is only one sentence: 'The soldier is also a murder weapon, and the saint should use it with caution', and it is time for us to rest from summer to autumn.

Qin Lei listened absentmindedly, and pouted for a long time before he pouted, "What did you do earlier?" Wait until the country is surrounded before you come to forgive? It's late. As he spoke, he pointed to the outside of the tent and said, "My Great Qin soldiers are already ready to fly and their spirits are high, how can they stop?" ”

Prince Rong said with a dry smile: "Your Royal Highness also lived in Shangjing, and you should know that there are millions of soldiers and civilians in my city, and there is enough food. As long as we hold on to the city with high walls, even if His Highness has millions of elites, what can we do? "It seems that he is not exactly a straw bag, otherwise Emperor Xinghua would not have entrusted him with a heavy task.

Zen Master Huineng also helped: "Yes, Your Highness, we can afford to wait, but your Qin cavalry can't afford to wait." ”

Qin Lei clasped his hands in front of his chest, his sinister gaze roamed back and forth on the two of them, and said with a sneer: "It seems that you are not seeking peace, but declaring war?" The generals also cooperated and stared at the two of them.

Being stared at by a room of fierce gods, the two nobles were chilling behind their backs, they could be regarded as having seen the rudeness of the Qin people.

Prince Rong was even more remorseful, and said bitterly in his heart: 'What did I do with so much mouth? But if you are afraid, it means that the Qi country wants to talk about decency, how can you easily give in?

Wiping his sweat without a trace, Prince Rong chuckled and said, "It's not interesting for His Highness to say this," he sat up straight as he spoke, and said: "Xiao Wang and the Zen master came with great sincerity to avoid the competition between the snipe and the clam and make the fisherman profitable!" But if you think we're scared, you're wrong. ”

Qin Lei sneered and said, "I don't know who started the war first?" Led an army of 600,000 people out of the Tiger Prison Pass in the west, plundered a province outside our Pass, and caused millions of people in Daqin to leave their homes? Dozens of city walls destroyed in one fell swoop? As he spoke, his voice became high-pitched, and he said with anger on his face: "I don't know who left my Great Qin army on the north bank of the Great River, hundreds of thousands of loyal souls buried in other places, and more than 200,000 soldiers have homes and cannot return?" ”

Slamming the table hard, Qin Lei Ji pointed at Prince Rong and said, "It's you Qi Kingdom!" You are all responsible! If you don't fill in the loss of my Great Qin first, what peace do you want to talk about! ”

Prince Rong's nose was crooked, and he forced a smile: "There is a popular saying among the people, it is called 'a slap does not make a sound', fighting a war is a matter of two countries, both sides have losses and responsibilities, how can they push it all to us?" It's not fair. ”

"Lone didn't plan to negotiate peace, it was you who were passionate," Qin Lei sneered and turned his head, looked at the skylight on the top of the tent and said, "Let me tell you the truth, this time we came to take revenge!" Don't make your capital, and never withdraw troops! ”

For this Qin prince, who seemed to have gunpowder in his belly and was full of shouting and shouting to kill, Prince Rong felt powerless for a while, and said in his heart: "It's not to take revenge on those hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but to take revenge on you for sixteen years, right?" His face changed uncertainly for a long time before he got up and said, "The prince will give you a real price, right?" If it is reasonable, the lone king can make a decision on the spot. "He can see that these guys are just trying to blackmail!

'It's time to send Hanako. Prince Rong said indignantly in his heart.

"It's like a human saying." Qin Lei said lightly: "Gu originally only planned to ask for five million taels of compensation......

"Five million taels?" Prince Rong laughed and said, "Can you really ...... Just kidding...... "Even in the best year after the reform, Qi State's annual income from two taxes was only 30 million taels of silver, and it was only a flash in the pan, and it had dropped to 20 million last year. And this year's summer tax is only eight million taels, originally expected the autumn tax to be pulled up, but the result is that the Qin land bandits are so disturbed, who knows if there will be a couple of jujubes left?

To put it mildly, it is a question of whether there are five million taels in the treasury.

Qin Lei sat high on top, Prince Rong stood with his head held high, the two sides stared at each other, and the situation fell into a stalemate.

For a long time, Qin Lei suddenly smiled and said, "That's it, that's it." The envoy is a guest, and the one who is the host is alone, and he doesn't even serve tea or pour water, which is really a bit of a failure. ”

Prince Rong almost laughed out loud angrily, and said in his heart: "That's what I remembered? I couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Lone is really a little thirsty." ”

Qin Lei seemed to blush, and said loudly: "Come on, hurry up and serve tea." ”

"No tea, lord." Shi Dang whispered: "We have been on the expedition for more than three months, and there is nothing left except weapons. Shi Dang knew that this was the prince's 'powerful abuse' that had flare up again, so he quickly cooperated with his understanding: "Only the cool white is left." ”

"Haha......" laughed dryly, Qin Lei scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry...... Let's go white. ”

Two soldiers stepped forward, one holding a black porcelain bowl full of gaps, and the other carrying a copper kettle, and poured a bowl of water for one of the two envoys of Qi.

Prince Rong and Huineng saw that as soon as the water was poured, a thick layer of scale was deposited at the bottom of the bowl, and they couldn't help but feel sick to their stomachs for a while, and quickly moved their eyes to the side.

Qin Lei was still enthusiastically saying: "Drink, it's not enough." ”

Prince Rong's face was a little ugly and said, "I'm not thirsty." ”

Qin Lei rubbed his hands apologetically, got up and said, "The conditions are too difficult, and it is normal for the two of you to be pampered and pampered for a while," he said with a dry laugh: "But after a long time, I will get used to it." ”

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and before they could react, they heard Qin Lei continue: "As compensation, I want to show my housekeeping skills and have fun with the two of them." With that, he strode to Prince Rong's side, took his arm affectionately, and walked out.

Prince Rong wanted to break free, but how could he resist Qin Lei with pampered and thin arms and tender legs, and he was almost dragged out of the big tent. Monk Huineng had no choice but to get up, salute with his hands, and walk out behind.

The generals also stood up one after another, and the fish rushed out.

Standing still in the open space outside the tent, Qin Lei let go of Prince Rong and said with a smile: "Does Your Highness want to read the text first, or the martial arts?" ”

"Ah......" Prince Rong couldn't figure out the situation at all, so he had to say casually: "Whatever......"

"Not picky." Qin Lei clapped his hands and said, "It is said that the salute comes before the soldiers, so let's ask first." ”

Shi Meng was waiting outside, and when he saw the prince high-five, he waved his hand and ordered: "Release!" A red flare flew into the sky.

Prince Rong and Monk Huineng tilted their heads and stared at the somewhat dazzling flames in the air until the red dissipated, leaving only a puff of white smoke and nothing else in sight.

Moving his sore neck, Prince Rong smiled and said, "It's so good-looking...... but he wondered if the other party was still making fun of himself...... Or maybe that's how Qin humor is.

Qin Lei smiled and didn't say anything, just pointed to the eastern sky.

Prince Rong looked in the direction he was pointing, and couldn't help but whisper, "What is it?" "But I saw a dense patch of UFOs, floating towards the capital from the east, and saw that there were more than 200 of them.

Qin Lei didn't answer, he just looked at those boxy things with a solemn expression, and then looked at his generals, who were also nervous...... It seems that those things are extremely dangerous.

Prince Rong and the old monk were frightened by the posture of the Qin people, and opened their mouths wide to look at the things that flew in front of them. When they got closer, they realized that there seemed to be a large basket hanging underneath......

"Kong Ming lantern!" The old monk has seen a lot, and the monk Huineng suddenly slapped his thigh and said.

Glancing at him indifferently, Qin Lei still didn't speak, and his generals didn't applaud the old monk's good insight, they were all doing the same thing, praying that the wind direction would not change......

That's right, those things flying in the sky are the secret weapons that the special battalion has worked hard for several days to produce in accordance with the principle of 'Kong Ming lanterns,' and it is called 'You Ai Fuou'.

The top half of these 'Youai Fuou' is made of bamboo strips, pasted with flexible bamboo linen paper, and brushed with tung oil to reprise waterproof. On the horizontal shelf at the bottom of it, a fuel tank with fire oil was hung. This is almost entirely modeled after the construction of the 'Kong Ming lantern', with Qin Lei simply refining the fuel used to produce hot gas, replacing it with a primitive 'oil furnace' to provide continuous and controlled heat.

The specifications of these 'Kong Ming lanterns' are exactly the same, although they don't look big in the sky, but they are about eight feet in diameter, and when they fly, they can really bring about 20 catties of things.

Under the 'Kong Ming Lantern', a basket is tied with a rope, and the basket is naturally filled with Qin Lei's treasure 'Fire Oil Bomb', as long as this thing collides violently, it will explode and catch fire, and the flames are fierce and cannot be extinguished with water.

When it was about to be lit into the air, the oil furnace was set on fire. After the fire burns for a while, hot air is generated, and the 'Kong Ming lantern' begins to expand, and the whole lantern will fly into the sky when you let go. When all the fuel in the furnace is burned, the Kong Ming lantern will automatically descend, and the oil bomb contained in it will also explode due to the violent impact with the ground due to falling from a height......

That's how it works, but it's flawed and fatal. First of all, it has no autonomous power, and the only power is wind. Wherever the wind tells it to go, it has to go, so as soon as it is released, it is completely out of control, and even if it is as smart as Qin Lei, it can't solve it. The only way is to find the right wind direction and release it like a kite, so that it doesn't fly too far.

By controlling the amount of fuel, it is generally possible to grasp the timing of the fall. But even so, it can't be released on a windy day, otherwise the oil stove will be blown out and there will be no ignition device.

Despite such and such flaws, Qin Lei still ordered Shi Meng to make and release this thing. First of all, the unknown can cause unimaginable panic. Especially in this era of all idealism, this fear will increase exponentially. Secondly, Shangjing is very large, and the chance of being shot will naturally increase greatly, and there will be no jokes about 'thousands of miles away'. Finally, the northern ...... in autumn The weather is dry.

Putting this naughty weapon out, Qin Lei and his generals began to pray that the direction of the wind would not change...... In order to avoid the turbulence formed by the staggering of hot and cold when the sun came out in the morning, Qin Lei also deliberately dragged the envoys of the Qi State for a period of time, until Shi Dang gestured and reported: 'Wind and Sun' did not come out to start the performance.

Fortunately, God is very face-saving, and today is indeed a good day with a peaceful sun......

I saw that one by one, You Ai Fuou crossed the front of the Qin army, and slowly flew over the wall of Qi State, and continued to fly towards the city.

The defenders of the city also looked stupid, and said to themselves: 'What are you doing?' What about paper kites? ’

But there are also many knowledgeable people who exclaimed: "It's Kong Ming lantern!" "Someone tried to shoot the next one with a crossbow, but the thing flew too high and was completely out of range...... Maybe the bed crossbow could shoot it, but the bulky thing was fixed to the city, and no one could make it shoot up.

That thing floated and floated, floating over the high city wall, floating into the Shangjing City, and even out of Qin Lei's sight, completely invisible......

"Lord Wang, what's the use of that thing?" Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Prince Rong asked astringently. Qin Lei made it so mysterious that it made him feel very uneasy......

"Bang......" Qin Lei suddenly put his hands together and let out a blasting sound.

Frightened, Prince Rong almost sat on the ground.

As if he could see those who love Fuou through the thick city wall, Qin Lei painted and said: "Fire, sea of fire, a sea of fire......

Prince Rong's face suddenly turned like earth, and he almost knelt down for Qin Lei and said, "Stop, Lord, we haven't finished talking yet......"

"It's late," Qin Lei smiled faintly, took a look at the big tent, turned around and walked towards the big tent, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to avoid further losses, come with me." ”
