Chapter 53: Ridiculous
Early in the morning of September 27, Lin Feng, who stayed in the mansion of General Yunlu in Langzhou, as he had done in the previous two days, called his tiger ben from one room to another one by one and continued to exercise in the morning.
The reason is very simple, because the comfort beauties sent by Ma Xixu are not just twins, but a large group, and basically every special soldier has a special person to sleep. Lin Feng is not the one who enjoys beauty alone and throws his brothers aside to do something envious, so he has fun with the people and does not stop this matter at all.
Looking at the brothers in front of him who were all smiling and smiling, Lin Feng was angry and funny, and said loudly: "Okay, the rest is over, we must rush to the Tanzhou battlefield today!" ”
The giggles immediately died down, and everyone consciously lined up and straightened up.
Lin Feng walked over and patted Liu Qi and several brothers who had been injured in the siege of Yiyang one by one, asking how their injuries were.
Liu Qi slapped his chest with his injured left hand and replied loudly: "It's all right!" I'm a hero again! ”
However, the sudden twitching of the corners of Liu Qi's eyes did not hide from Lin Feng, and Lin Feng did not expose him, but just punched him and several brothers who were also unharmed, and returned to the front of the team.
"News came from the front line that the army had confronted the Tanzhou army in Beijin, Yangliuqiao, and Huokou in Tanzhou. The confrontation between the two armies before the war was actually the most tense moment on the battlefield, and it was also the moment when we showed our talents. After the training, everyone packed up and set off immediately! Lin Feng said loudly, taking the lead and jogging in the yard.
After breakfast, Lin Feng led the team to leave Langzhou on a warship and leisurely rushed to Tanzhou along the waterway. The front-line troops are faced with wide waters, fortified cities, and dangerous places, and the confrontation between the two armies is by no means something that can be ended in a short period of time, so naturally there is no need to rush nervously.
After a day and a night of traveling, the ship turned to the mouth of the Xiangjiang River and began to swim upstream, and the speed of the ship became slower. This time, Lin Feng did not hide in the cabin again, but stood at the bow of the boat, carefully observing the tragic situation on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River.
Just as Lin Feng imagined, Xiangyin Road on the east bank is a common tragic situation after a military disaster: there are basically no complete houses and villages on the shore, and there are still unextinguished fires and thick smoke rising far or near, and from time to time you can still see people crying and helping each other forward.
Lin Feng's fist has never been released, and he really hates these brutal and ruthless tribal barbarians in his heart, everyone is a son and daughter of the Chu State, why do they want to create such a big sin?!
Knowing that Lin Feng was in a bad mood, Li Congqian and Chen Fei also stayed by Lin Feng's side. They were also in a very uncomfortable mood, this time they traveled to Chu State, only to find that there were such cruel, cold-blooded, and helpless scenes in this world, especially Chen Fei, and they suddenly felt that the hardships they had suffered when they were in the past may not be anything at all.
A day later, Lin Feng's boat arrived at the scene of the naval confrontation in Beijin, Tanzhou, in the evening.
From afar, Lin Feng noticed that something was wrong. In his imagination, the two naval armies should have been based on the east and west banks and confronted each other from afar, but now in the middle of the Xiangjiang River, there is a large merchant ship from Tanzhou anchored there.
Lin Feng instructed Chen Fei to take the telescope. After several days of repeated polishing and debugging, the telescope has become much clearer than before, but in Lin Feng's eyes, it is just better than nothing.
The camera zoomed in, and Lin Feng could only vaguely see a tall object and a group of people in yellow clothes on the merchant ship, as if they were doing something collectively.
Lin Feng pointed to a Langzhou warship that had already greeted him, and ordered Ma Yu to inform Ma Xixu, who personally commanded the army, and then turned around and ordered loudly: "Raise the Tang Dynasty Battle Flag!" ”
The wind in the river was not small, and the Southern Tang Black Dragon Battle Flag immediately fluttered majestically, Lin Fenghao's chest surged, he pointed to the merchant ship, and said loudly: "Let's go, let's go over and see the excitement!" ”
Under Lin Feng's edification, these special soldiers were not afraid of things one by one, and immediately brandished their weapons and shouted in unison: "Go over!" Check it out! ”
Fang Hongtian immediately commanded the sailors on the ship to pull the sails, turn the tail rudder, and the hull slowly sailed towards the merchant ship.
The warship slowly approached the merchant ship, and when there was still an arrow away, Fang Hongtian came over and asked if he would stop the ship here. Lin Feng glared angrily, pointed at the merchant ship, and then pointed at the brothers beside him who looked relaxed, and said loudly: "It's just a merchant ship, what's there to be afraid of?" Lean up, get as close as you can! ”
Fang Hongtian's face turned red, and he immediately obeyed the order.
The two boats were getting closer and closer, and Lin Feng could see everything on the ship clearly: under the big flag, there was a figure about three meters high, with a hideous face, teeth and claws, and the whole body was painted black, and below this statue, a fat monk led a group of monks in yellow robes who were burying their heads in chanting. Because of the approach of their own warship, the sound of chanting immediately became a little chaotic, and some monks had already stood up and began to flee to the rear of the ship.
Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh wildly, pointed to the figure and asked, "Guess what, what is that?" ”
"It's ugly, is it a legendary ghost? I've seen smaller ones than this one before, and they should be pinched with noodles. Chen Fei was the first to shout.
"It's like, it's like a ghost!" Li Congqian, Duan Rui and other children also shouted in unison, and Da Lu couldn't stop laughing.
Liu Qi behind Lin Feng directly covered his stomach and laughed wildly, pointed at the face man and said, "What do you mean?" Ma Xiguang wouldn't be trying to scare us away with such a face-to-face ghost, right? ”
Lin Feng stopped laughing, shook his head, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's not a ghost, but the Taoist exorcist True Monarch Zhong Kui, who is going to expel us demons and ghosts!" ”
In the Taoist belief in Jiangnan in China, the Demon Emperor Guan Sheng, the Demon Emperor Zhenwu Emperor and the Demon Exorcist Emperor Zhong Kui are collectively known as the Three Demon Emperors, which are the three major gods who subdue demons and subdue demons.
Zhong Kui, in Taoism, is called Yisheng Thunder to exorcise demons and ward off evil spirits, and the town house blesses the emperor, referred to as "the town house Zhenjun", "exorcism Zhenjun", "exorcism emperor". In Taoism and Chinese folklore, Zhong Kui is a god who can fight ghosts and drive away evil spirits, and he is also the only universal god among the gods of traditional Chinese Taoism. In ancient times, during the Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, the start of construction, the opening of the market, the opening of the land, the opening of the temple, the opening of the stage, the thanksgiving, the housewarming, the celebration of the harvest, the wedding birthday, the blessing and important celebrations, in ancient times, people would hang the portrait of Zhong Kui and hold the dance of Zhong Kui performance, as if worshiping Zhong Kui is to be blessed, to be wealthy, to respond to requests, and to be spiritual.
Now everyone on the boat laughed, this is really a joke, the army is coming to the city, you are using these vain things to make a fart?!
Lin Feng couldn't help laughing, pointed at the monks who had all started to flee on the merchant ships, and said loudly: "Let's go, let's go back to the west coast, don't disturb people to do business!" ”
The crowd burst into laughter again.
In this way, in the midst of laughter all the way, Lin Feng returned to the Langzhou fleet on the west bank, and Ma Xixu was already waiting at the front of the fleet on a big ship.
Seeing Lin Feng, Ma Xixuan ordered someone to set up the boat, walked over quickly, and said loudly to Lin Feng: "Special Envoy Lin, I heard that you also went to see the farce in the center of the river?" ”
Lin Feng smiled and nodded, and bowed to the self-styled general of Shuntian.
Ma Xicao leaned over and said in a low voice: "Someone in the city has sent a message, Xiguang Xiao'er now puts on a monk's robe and worships and recites the scriptures under the statue of the Buddha!" ”
Hearing this, Lin Feng could no longer remain reserved, and laughed loudly.
