Chapter 103: Cold Arrows, Poison
However, in the case of the stormy world, Lu Long is so peaceful.
In April, the training of the soldiers, which had been carried out since October of the first year of Qianning, lasted six months, that is, half a year, and finally completed the training. However, Zhao Chao, who had just been promoted to Lu Long's weapons supervisor, had to find Li Cunhuan.
"My lord, although I don't want to say it, I still have to say that it will take at least ten years for a purple shirt to become a material that can make a longbow, and if the lord wants those Danzhou to not even see a purple shirt in the future, then I can continue to produce some longbows."
Li Cunhuan pondered for a moment and said: "I know that the Khitan people have a lot of timber there, and tell all the Khitan merchants that when they buy sea salt from the border market, they need to pay for a yew wood with a diameter of no less than four feet and a length of no less than one zhang for every five buckets of sea salt. ”
When Zhao Chao heard this, he happily flattered: "My lord, you really know astronomy and geography!" ”
Li Cunhuan shook his head and said, "It's just some knowledge that I learned before, do you have anything else?" ”
Zhao Chao smiled mysteriously and said to Li Cunhuan: "After the research money you gave you, a craftsman has researched a weapon that shocked everyone. ”
Li Cunhuan smiled slightly, picked up a document beside him and flipped it open, and asked casually, "What kind of weapon is it?" ”
"Booming weapon! He's like a thunderbolt, and we'll call him Thunderbolt! Zhao Chao danced excitedly, causing Sha Yuke, who was not far away, to take a few steps forward vigilantly. As the leader of Li Cunhuan's personal soldiers, he will not give him any time that could hurt Li Cunhuan's life because of who the person opposite is.
However, now Li Cunhuan was completely shocked by Zhao Chao's words, Li Cunhuan put down the Chinese piece in his hand and said softly: "Gunpowder!" ”
This time it was Zhao Chao's turn to be shocked, he didn't understand why Li Cunhuan knew the important ingredients of this secret weapon.
"Did the gunpowder appear at this time?" Li Cunhuan seemed to be asking Zhao Chao, and he seemed to be asking himself.
Zhao Chao glanced at Li Cunhuan a little strangely, not knowing why he would ask such a question, and said cautiously: "My lord, it is said that alchemists have discovered it in the Sui Dynasty, and in our Dynasty (Tang Dynasty), it has slowly become a unified name 'Burning Medicine', referred to as 'Gunpowder'. ”
"Take me to see it!" Li Cunhuan stood up and pinned a Tang knife to his waist.
"Someone! Get ready for the carriage! Sha Eucalyptus commanded outside the door.
"Nope! Horseback riding. I'm really looking forward to this weapon of revolutionary surnames! Li Cunhuan interrupted Sha Yuke's order and spoke.
Sha Eucalyptus hesitated, and said, "Yes! ”
Soon the angry lion was taken to the gate by the pro-soldiers, and as soon as the angry lion saw Li Cunhuan, he immediately broke free from the pull of the pro-soldiers, came to Li Cunhuan, and slammed his head into Li Cunhuan's arms as if he was a little dissatisfied.
Li Cunhuan hurriedly hugged the angry lion and said with a smile: "You guy! I won't take you out, and I'll even complain to your master! ”
The angry lion twisted his head in displeasure to show his displeasure.
Li Cunhuan smiled and comforted, the angry lion calmed down, Li Cunhuan turned over and got on his horse, and the four Iron Eagle soldiers immediately appeared on both sides of Li Cunhuan, blocking any cold arrows that might come from him with their wide bodies.
Li Cunhuan smiled and waved his hand and said, "Don't be so nervous! What about Zhao Chao? ”
Sha Yu said with some disdain: "He went to find his little donkey!" ”
As soon as Sha Yuke's words fell, Zhao Chao had already ridden his little donkey out of the Jiedu Embassy's mansion, and he couldn't help but disdain Sha Yuke. After all, compared to war horses, donkeys are obviously much thinner.
Li Cunhuan just smiled and said, "Zhao Chao, you walk slowly in the back!" We're one step ahead! ”
After Li Cunhuan finished speaking, he grabbed the horse's belly and rushed out quickly in the excited roar of the angry lion. Behind him, a group of Iron Eagle soldiers followed.
Seeing Li Cunhuan traveling, all the people on the road couldn't help but get out of the way and looked at their festival envoys in awe. Li Cunhuan smiled and didn't care, but just as Li Cunhuan was about to come to the city gate, a bowstring sounded, and Li Cunhuan instinctively turned sideways.
"Poof!" A cold arrow that I didn't know where it was shot suddenly pierced Li Cunhuan's right shoulder. Piercing hard from behind, a cloud of blood bloomed in the air, pulling out long blood flowers as the angry lion galloped.
"General!" The soldiers of the Iron Eagle were inexplicably angry, and even the soldiers at the city gate were inexplicably angry.
The heart-palpitating alarm bell sounded, and the six gates of Youzhou City closed at the same time. Some of the soldiers of the Iron Eagle Capital were assigned to protect Li Cunhuan, and the other part was led by Sha Yuke to conduct a strict investigation and search.
"Ahem! Cough! It's bad luck. Li Cunhuan, with the careful help of Zhou Dewei and several Tieying soldiers, got off his horse. Li Cunhuan glanced at Zhou Dewei, and at this time he was still in the mood to smile and said: "Zhou Dewei, you really look like a girl now, so careful." ”
Zhou Dewei didn't think it was allowed, carefully helped Li Cunhuan to sit down, and said: "Lord, you are now Lu Long's only envoy to the festival, if you die, do you let us take refuge in Li Cunxiao or Li Keyong?" ”
Li Cunhuan smiled and pointed to the arrow shaft on his body and said, "This may be a good opportunity!" ”
"Opportunity?" Zhou Dewei looked at Li Cunhuan with some incomprehension, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: "You mean to completely recover Lu Long?" ”
Li Cunhuan shook his head, stretched out his hand to the guide, and said, "Lu Yanwei! ”
Zhou Dewei said with some concern: "Don't worry, general, I will fulfill your will, but I hope you can recuperate well." I don't know if this arrow is poisoned. ”
As soon as Zhou Dewei's words fell, Li Cunhuan felt that his eyes were black, and he said intermittently: "Zhou, Zhou Dewei, you, you are still one, a Zhuge Liang, bright ......"
"My lord! Lord! Zhou Dewei watched Li Cunhuan faint in horror, and hurriedly tore the clothes at the wound, only to see the arrow wound on Li Cunhuan's shoulder, and the flesh and blood on the edge of the wound turned out with a black gas. The flesh around the wound turned purple-black.
This time Zhou Dewei was really scared, although Li Cunhuan was hit by an arrow before, but with his eyes, he could still see that the place where Li Cunhuan was shot was not critical. But if it's poisoned, it's even more terrifying. In this world, many geniuses died from that dangerous poison.
