Chapter 17: Pretending

The official who delivered the letter first glanced at Xue Ying, and then at Zhao Wanqi, not knowing who to present this flying pigeon herald to.

It stands to reason that the county lord has no official position, Xue Ying is a third-grade military attachΓ©, and the flying pigeon biography naturally has to be presented to Xue Ying. However, the county lord was deeply favored by the empress dowager and respected the emperor (in the third year of Zhenghe, the Song court imitated the title of "Wang Ji" in the Zhou Dynasty and announced that all "princesses" would be called "emperor concubines"). For a while, the official hesitated and glanced back at the Ding County Order.

Ding Xian Ling pretended not to see it and turned his head over......

"You're blind, you're still deaf, you can't hear the words of this son, and you still can't see the existence of this son!"

Zhao Wanqi took a few steps forward, took the flying pigeon from the officer's hand, and then kicked it on the officer's stomach. One of the officials fell to the ground with his back to the sky, holding his stomach and screaming.

Xue Ying glared at Zhao Wanqi and didn't say anything more. Zhao Wanqi has always been like this, he has seen it a long time ago.

Zhao Wanqi opened the Flying Pigeon Biography and saw four simple and clear characters written on it in small black letters.

"Fortify the city!"

Zhao Wanqi was stunned...... A few dirty words were spat out in the middle of the ring.

"Solidify your ancestors for eighteen generations! Old tortoise! ”

Xue Ying stepped forward and pulled away the flying pigeon biography from Zhao Wanqi's hand, and was stunned when she saw the four big characters on it. Ah Wu and Ding Xian Ling leaned their heads over, looked at the content of the flying pigeon biography, and were also stunned.

Suide City was established at the intersection of Wuding River and Dali River, since ancient times it was the battlefield of the war between the two countries, there was already a poem "poor Wuding River bones, still a person in the spring boudoir dream" said that the Wuding River is here.

The city is built according to the mountain, the city is not more than ** meters, the south and north side of the mountain are only five or six meters from the ground, there are only two exits of the east gate and the west gate, if you carry a cloud ladder to attack, at most two or three waves, you can break the city.

In addition, there are not many soldiers in the city, and the flying pigeon from the Hedong Army has sent them to stick to the city, which is simply a fool's dream.

Zhao Wanqi's eyes spun twice, seemed to be thoughtful, and said slowly.

"Well, Ding County Order, last night this world watched the stars at night, and found that this hexagram is Kang Long's remorse, which is a good opportunity for this son to show his strength. You quickly organize the soldiers in the city, and this son will personally take command, kill him Jin Bing and turn over on his back alone, shocking the government and the opposition! ”

Zhao Wanqi looked confident and arrogant!

Everyone in the lobby smiled bitterly...... Ah Wu walked to Zhao Wanqi's side and said in a low voice.

"County Lord, divination has nothing to do with watching the heavens."

"Go cool, this son said that if there is a relationship, it will matter, you know?"

"Well, got it......"

Ah Wu looked inferior and didn't say more.

"Hey, Ah Wu, wait a minute, this Shizi remembers that the Pleasant Goat I saw last night is so smart, and there are a few plans similar to this. You will bring that She Yi over later, and this son wants him to be a military advisor. Assist the son of the world to complete the great cause! ”

Zhao Wanqi smiled.

"County Lord, that young man is not in good health, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient......"

Ah Wu looked embarrassed, thinking that he had pinched She Yi's wrist yesterday, and he had been haunted in his heart. In terms of generation, he is still She Yi's uncle, and She Fustiff and he have a brotherly relationship. In addition, the child is seriously ill, and he has not been alive for a few days, and when he saw his nephew, he didn't give a gift, but also pinched him, which is really a bit unreasonable.

"Idiot, this son can see at a glance that he is pretending, have you ever seen a person who is dying, and he is still so calm? If you don't go, the county lord will go by himself! ”

Zhao Wanqi glared at Ah Wu and walked straight towards the entrance of the lobby.

"The county lord stays, I can't go yet......"

Ah Wu's face followed......

Xue Ying watched impatiently as Zhao Wanqi and Ah Wu walked out of the lobby, feeling anxious. If Zhao Wanqi is used as bait, the reasonable use of the city guards to create opportunities, coupled with his martial arts, he is still sixty percent sure of sneaking across the Yellow River. But if you bring Zhao Wanqi, the surname may be almost zero.

Wait a minute, but it really can't be done, so he absconded back alone. As for Zhao Wanqi, if she was lucky, she was captured by Xia Bing, and King Rong finally ransomed her. If you are unlucky, you will either be killed by Xia Bing, or you will be ruined to death. Xia Bing's irritability and cruelty, he had witnessed it with his own eyes. If you don't have a life to live, what do you want to do if you want to be promoted and get rich! He wouldn't put his life on the line for Zhao Wanqi.

"General Xue, I have heard that you are both civil and military, and your wisdom is outstanding, and you are the only one to lead the troops to defend the city this time."

Ding County said curtly.

"Falsely praised, the plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, and the general will do his best. Ding County Order, you call Feng Yingcai and his party to wait, and then go down to prepare. ”

Xue Ying played with the two jade beads in his hand with an indifferent expression. The Feng Yingcai and others he was talking about were the few Beijing scholars who were on the first floor of the Lanxiang Pavilion yesterday.

"Xiaguan will send to find Feng Caizi and others to come over......"

Ding County ordered to retreat.

……

In the backyard of She Mansion, in She Yi's room, She Yu stood behind She Yi. She Yi focused on adjusting the proportion of gunpowder.

The ** he made has been successful, and now what is missing is gunpowder. Although the Song Dynasty had gunpowder, it was not powerful enough, and what She Yi had to do now was to adjust the power of these gunpowders to the best state. ** It is not intended for use in regular firearms, and it is filled with iron sand or iron beads. If the power of gunpowder is insufficient, it will affect the range and attack strength of **.

The appearance of the torch was in the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, the earliest prototype was the assault rifle of the Southern Song Dynasty, and now it is the end of the Northern Song Dynasty. In addition, She Yi's self-made ** is fashionable and exquisitely handmade, and she is very curious. She Yi said that you can use this ** to hunt game, can you really kill a hare?

About an hour later, She Yi used a fire breaker to ignite the prepared gunpowder again.

With a "snort", the gunpowder burned instantly, emitting a dazzling light, and the speed of its burning, and the size of the flame when burning, were obviously stronger than those of several other tests, and the air was filled with a smell of sulfur.

She Yi let out a long breath, and finally the concoction was successful. With this gunpowder, the power of ** will not be exerted.

However, during this period of time, he has to try his best to transform this **, no matter how powerful the iron sand and iron balls are, they are not as powerful as bullets.

Moreover, in terms of ease of carrying, bullets are more convenient than gunpowder.

All morning, his neck and waist ached, and he stood up and moved his shins.

"Brother, are you done? This thing is so weird, can it really kill rabbits? ”

She Yu picked up the ** made by She Yi and looked at it curiously.

"Well, it should work."

She Yi smiled, thinking in his heart, this thing is not specifically for hunting hares, killing people is the king, of course, he will definitely not tell his sister that this is used to kill people. It's not healthy to fight and kill, and it's not good to scare children.

"Girl, Chunhua didn't send food?"

She Yi saw through the window that the outside was relatively strong, and it should have been over, usually at this time, Chunhua had already delivered the food.

"The doctor said, "The two of us are back to the light, and we won't live for a few days, and they are waiting for us to die, so how can they bring us food?" If I'm not mistaken, my mother took them to my grandfather's house. Brother, the small kitchen next to my room can cook and eat, and all kinds of rice dishes are also available, I will cook for you. ”

She Yu smiled sweetly.

"Hehe, the girl can also cook, I can't see it, when she grows up, she must be a good wife and mother. Girl, you have a cold and you are not feeling well, let's come, you give me a hand and let you taste my brother's cooking. ”

She Yi touched She Yu's forehead with her hand, the high fever went back, and her heart relaxed. For this sister who is sympathetic to the same disease, he still loves him very much.

In the Central Plains of the Song Dynasty, cooking was a profession that was looked down upon, including cooking. But because Suide is in the border area, the Central Plains culture has little influence here, so men and women who can cook are not looked down upon, but a kind of ability.

"Okay, I'll do it for my brother."

She Yu grabbed She Yi's arm, and the brother and sister walked out of the room.

The two came to the small kitchen next to She Yu's room, which was only a dozen square meters in size, and there were some porcelain pots, herbs and the like, as well as some vegetables, oil, salt, rice and grain.

Before She Yi came to Shefu, this kitchen was used to boil Chinese medicine most of the time, and sometimes, when guests came, they would also cook some meals. After She Yi came, this kitchen rarely cooks anymore.
