Guo Tianxu shook his head, smiled and complained: "I said Li Junshi, you are really smart, you are confused for a while, you can directly face Temur when you defeat Xinye!" ”

After Guo Tianxu's reminder, Li Xingze secretly scolded himself for being confused, and hurriedly hugged his fists and thanked: "Thank you for the reminder, I know!" ”

However, Meng Haima was a little unhappy when he saw the two people playing dumb riddles, why were these people so tired of talking, and said dissatisfiedly: "If there is anything good, can't I let Lao Meng know?" ”

After Meng Haima and Li Xingze both left, Miss Ma came to the front hall from the backyard, and saw Guo Tianxu sitting on a wooden chair alone as if thinking about something, so she asked softly, "Are they gone?" ”

"Hmm"

Guo Tianxu was so shocked that he raised his head, and when he saw Miss Ma, he said with a smile: "What, don't you want to see him?" ”

This grievance and grievance, right and wrong, are just mirrors, like a dream, plus the mutual misunderstanding and open and secret struggle between the two during this period of life and death, and then meet must be extremely embarrassing, Miss Ma looked at the hollow carved vermilion window, sighed: "It's better not to see!" ”

Guo Tianxu glanced at Miss Ma thoughtfully, and did not take a stubble. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xinye is only a county seat, and the city wall is not high, but in order to worry about an accident in Xiangyang Mansion, the Yuan court deployed almost five return cannons in Xinye.

Before, Li Xingze thought that the return cannon was artillery, but when he stood on the hillside outside the city, he realized that the return gun was just a so-called strengthened version of the stone thrower. In the distance, several stone throwers were like cranes on the castle tower.

"Damn, it must be the Yuan army who knows the news of our coming, and has assembled all the return cannons on the city!" Meng Haima spat on the ground and scolded loudly.

It is estimated that Wang Quan will be able to arrive with the Dengzhou Red Turban Army tomorrow, so Meng Haima's side is not in a hurry, and after the army under his command settles down, Li Xingze suddenly asked if there are Taoist temples around.

Seeing that Li Xingze was wearing an ink-colored Taoist robe, Meng Haima reacted, and the Taoist priests in Xindao were really the same, since they came, they would definitely go to see something. But after asking left and right, no one has heard of any Taoist temples around here.

It stands to reason that the host will not lie to himself, thinking of the host, Li Xingze's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "Does the marshal know what temples are nearby?" ”

Meng Haima saw Li Xingze's anxious appearance, and quickly nodded: "Yes, there is a Jianfeng Temple not far from here!" As soon as the words came out, he felt that it was inappropriate, how could there be a Taoist priest who went to the monk's temple to visit, and when he was about to explain, Li Xingze urged him to ask for the direction in a hurry.

This made Meng Haima a little confused, this Taoist priest went to the monk's temple to worship, and he really knew it for the first time, worried that Li Xingze didn't know the way, so he arranged for several soldiers to take Li Xingze to the nearby Jianfeng Temple.

Jianfeng Temple lived with a few beggars on weekdays, and the red turban army suddenly came to the door and scared the beggars half to death, until Li Xingze asked about the king Taoist, and the beggars hurriedly pointed the way to Li Xingze.

A river with clear water flows eastward, and several green mountains are picturesque. The turquoise waters of the Han River stretch as far as the eye can see, and on the beach by the river, a man dressed as a Taoist priest is sitting there wearing a hat and fishing.

Li Xingze guessed that this might be the Wang Dao Chief, and when he saw the Wang Daoist pretending to be forced, he secretly laughed at him for learning from Jiang Taigong to fish, so he walked over slowly, stepped on the green grass, and joked loudly: "Wang Dao Chang, are you going to send me the Red Turban Army for hundreds of years?" ”

King Wen pulled a cart for 800 steps, and the Zhou Dynasty was in the world for 800 years, and many people know this allusion. Wang Daochang was naturally no exception, he had already heard the footsteps behind, and as for Li Xingze's intention, he had already known it, so he got up and laughed loudly: "It's a pity that Li Junshi didn't have a car for me!" ”

A good old Taoist priest with phoenix eyes and eyebrows, ruddy complexion, snow-white long beard, and elegant demeanor. Seeing Wang Daochang smiling in response to his words, Li Xingze dared to hesitate, clenched his fists and bowed his head and said: "Li Xingze greets Wang Daochang!" ”

Since Daoist Wang had already revealed who the person was just now, it can be seen that he had been waiting for himself for a long time, Li Xingze knew that this Taoist priest was the same as the host of Lumen Temple, he was a senior master, he did not dare to slack off, and his attitude was even more respectful.

"Li Junshi must have come for the treasure!"

Seeing that Li Xingze nodded, Wang Daochang said slowly: "The Tibetan Soldier Cave in Wuduo Mountain, Li Junshi might as well go there to have a look!" ”

Unexpectedly, he got the news of the treasure so easily, Li Xingze was overjoyed, and was about to hug his fists to thank him, but Wang Daochang said: "What Li Junshi lacks, that's what!" ”

This sentence almost blinded Li Xingze, and his mind changed at the moment, no matter which way the Red Turban Army lacked weapons at present, thinking of this, his expression instantly became surprised, this news was really unexpected.

"Could it be..."

Seeing Li Xingze's surprised expression, knowing that he might have guessed, Wang Daochang sold a pass and continued: "There is something in the courtyard behind Jianfeng Temple, which may be useful for fighting Xinye, Li Junshi will send someone to dig it out!" ”

After speaking, he ignored Li Xingze, who thanked him again and again, and walked away with the fishing rod on his own shoulder.

I don't know what kind of **** luck I went, but I actually got such a big help from the two families of Buddhism and Taoism, Li Xingze was moved in his heart, and hurriedly arranged for several Red Turban Army soldiers to return to Jianfeng Temple.

The Red Turban Army went and returned, and frightened a few beggars lying on the ground in Jianfeng Temple and quickly got up and shrank aside, really afraid that the Red Turban Army would catch the strong man.

If Li Xingze knew what these beggars thought, he would really arrest them as strong men, anyway, there are many ruffians and hooligans in the Red Turban Army, and the ******** who have to bully these beggars must be.

Ignoring a few beggars, Li Xingze hurriedly asked the Red Turban Army soldiers to dig up, and after a while, he dug out what Wang Daochang said, and when the soil on it was removed, it was rusty and the paint was also very serious.

Meng Haima saw that Li Xingze brought someone back with something, and he was surprised to follow to see what he had retrieved. When he saw that it was assembled and set up a return cannon, he suddenly said greedily: "Master Li, where did you get this good thing?" ”

Although it is a Prass version of the return cannon, isn't this just a stone thrower built on a rotten wood shelf, Li Xingze glanced at Meng Haima, thinking that he had never seen the world, and it was not an artillery, as for being so excited.

"Marshal Meng, where do you think our stone thrower can hit the return cannon on Xinye City?" Li Xingze looked at the stone thrower of the Yuan Army for a long time and suddenly asked, mainly because he had never seen the power of this thing, and he didn't know how far it could hit, maybe Meng Haima knew, so he asked.

"Hmm..."

Meng Haima fell into deep thought, he really knew the range of the return cannon, he had seen the Yuan army play before, so he had a general understanding, thought carefully for a long time, and suggested: "You might as well try it on Bailong Mountain!" ”

From Bailong Mountain, you can directly overlook the whole Xinye, especially the geographical location of Bailong Mountain is excellent, not only a few mountains poke out in the middle of the mountain, but also quite close to Xinye.

After calling the Master to carry the stone thrower to Bailong Mountain, Li Xingze fell in love with this place at a glance, and applauded happily again and again.

"Master Li, you can't kill a few people with a return cannon!"

Meng Haima felt that Li Xingze was a little carried away, and hurriedly reminded that this thing looks quite powerful, and it is indeed useful to siege the city, but there is only one, which is just a drop in the bucket.

Li Xingze said mysteriously with a cheap smile on his face: "Let Marshal Meng get Xinye City tonight?" ”

"Ahh

Li Xingze's words fell, and Meng Haima was puzzled: "Although I don't understand what the military division does, but the Dengzhou Red Turban Army hasn't come yet, let's start fighting, isn't it a little inappropriate?" ”

Knowing that Meng Haima felt sorry for his subordinates, and was worried that he would be counterattacked by the Yuan soldiers in the city and the damage would be too great, Li Xingze shook his head helplessly and said: "I don't know if the power can scare them off, I can only say that the effect may be amazing!" ”

Zhang Junbao hurried alone, the speed was fast, and he rushed into Dengzhou City in less than half a day, and when he saw Wang Quan and Zhang Chun, he quickly turned over and fell off the horse, and said breathlessly: "Marshal Wang, General Zhang, my junior brother asked you to gather elite soldiers and go to Xinye to meet!" ”

"Shinno?"

Zhang Junbao said such a sentence when the two of them were unprepared, Wang Chun couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly asked, "What are you going to Xinye for?" ”

Zhang Junbao agreed, took a deep breath and said, "It seems that I want to fight Xinye!" ”

Now the two of them understood, and they couldn't help but secretly feel annoyed, they said that they would borrow troops, forgetting that there was still a roadblock on the way, and if they didn't take Xinye, Meng Haima wouldn't be able to come over at all.

Although Xinye is not as strong as some military towns, it is also a strong city wall, no worse than this Dengzhou City, Wang Quan frowned and said: "After this is going to be fought, there will definitely be a lot of loss of manpower!" ”

At present, guarding Dengzhou, the most urgent shortage is manpower, at this moment, in order to deal with the upcoming war, whether it is the White Lotus Sect or the Ming Sect, most of the elite soldiers in Huguang Province have been gathered, if these elite soldiers are damaged, it will not be as simple as losing territory in the future.

Thinking of this, Wang Quan frowned and walked around the ground twice with his hands behind his back and said, "Daochang Zhang, if you don't bother you to run, just say that Li Junshi's order, we really can't understand it!" ”

"This..."

Zhang Junbao didn't understand Wang Quan's thoughts, he hesitated a little, and his junior brother was very anxious to send himself to transfer troops, but this is good, he didn't even transfer the troops, and he didn't know how to explain when he went back.

"Daochang Zhang, please rest assured, if you say so, Li Junshi must know what the two of us think!" Seeing Zhang Junbao's embarrassed face, Zhang Chun hurriedly explained.

Although Zhang Junbao didn't understand why the two didn't send troops, since they were both from the White Lotus Sect, they naturally wouldn't see each other die and not save each other, there must be other hidden secrets, and they couldn't think of it, it didn't mean that the junior brother didn't know. Thinking of this, Zhang Junbao hugged his fists, turned over and left Dengzhou again, and went straight to Xinye.
