Chapter 300: Scheming
What surprised Yang Yi and Wei Ergou was inexplicable was not the catastrophic consequences caused by Wei Ergou detonating the gunpowder with the Yan Fire Talisman Seal, because the scene they saw at the moment had far exceeded the extreme destructive power of black/gunpowder: on the boundary of the mountain splitting cannon just now, a deep pit suddenly appeared, and there were blue flames bursting out of the edge of the pit, as if they had been attacked by a ground-penetrating bomb.
Yang Yi and Wei Ergou walked over tremblingly, stood on the edge of the pit and looked inside, after visual inspection, the diameter of the pit was not less than 50 meters, and the depth of the pit was close to more than 20 meters.
"Meteorite?" Yang Yi and Wei Ergou glanced at each other, both of them were surprised, they didn't expect that at this critical juncture of life and death, they would encounter the melancholy scene of accompanying me to see the meteor shower, which was really discordant.
The destructive power of the meteorite was so amazing that the Taiping soldiers in other camps thought that they had suffered a large-scale artillery bombardment by the Qing army in Cangzhou City, and they all moved towards the garrison camp where Ji Wenyuan was located under the leadership of the brigade commander and the army commander.
At this time, Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, and Ji Wenyuan had already stood up from under the protective shield composed of the flesh of the soldiers, and the three of them walked to the crater with solemn expressions, and did not look at Yang Yi and Wei Ergou, who were slightly nervous on the side, but looked at the meteorite at the bottom of the pit silently, and after a while, Lin Fengxiang looked back to the sky, looked at the shining stars in the sky, and sighed sadly: "The ancients called the induction of heaven and man, and all those who lead troops correspond to a star in the sky, if a star falls, It also means that its corresponding generals are going to die, is it that our rebellion is destined to be a dream? Are we doomed to die on the battlefield, and it is difficult to see the day when the kingdom of heaven sweeps away Tatar and pacifies the Central Plains? ”
Looking at Li Kaifang and Ji Wenyuan, who also looked lonely, Wei Ergou really wanted to impulsively tell them that your so-called great cause is actually a great catastrophe for mankind, and you will soon be exposed to the wilderness and spurned by others. However, looking at the Taiping soldiers who had regrouped and gathered more and more, Wei Ergou swallowed a mouthful of spit and didn't dare to say anything.
At this moment, Yang Yi looked anxiously for the figure of the masked woman among the Taiping soldiers, fortunately, the masked woman was far away from the position of the mountain splitting cannon, and was surrounded by the Taiping soldiers, and those soldiers invisibly blocked the flesh shield of the huge shock wave generated by the gunpowder explosion and the meteorite fall for her, so she was not injured in the slightest, and at this time she was also looking at Yang Yi and them urgently, and when she saw Yang Yi jumping around, the masked woman faintly showed a subtle smile.
However, Yang Yi always felt that the posture of the masked woman's right hand was a little weird, and it looked a little like some kind of handprint, but because there were too many Taiping soldiers, they quickly blocked Yang Yi's sight and failed to see more clearly.
Of course, this impression only flashed in Yang Yi's mind, because Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, and Ji Wenyuan had already walked in front of him and Wei Ergou, and they were only one step away from them.
Those pro-soldiers and Taiping soldiers who rushed to hear the sound showed their swords and guns, and looked at Yang Yi and Wei Ergou like hungry tigers, and their fierce expressions made Yang Yi and Wei Ergou have no doubt that as long as Lin Fengxiang gave an order, they would become messy fragments in the wind in minutes.
Lin Fengxiang waved his hand, signaling those soldiers not to act rashly, and immediately looked at Yang Yi and Wei Ergou, and said in a flat tone: "It seems that you have joined the Qing Demon and are ready to fight against my Heavenly Pilgrimage Soldiers?" ”
"We have nothing to do with any of you, we are cultivators, and everything we do is to prevent the lives of the people from being ruined, that's all." Yang Yi looked at Lin Fengxiang and replied without humility or arrogance.
"Under the rule of the dim emperor, the people in the world are not living, selling children and women, the king of heaven preaches the holy religion, and the righteous army is to save the children of God, so that they will not be oppressed and humiliated by the Manchurian Tartars, and restore the great rivers and mountains of my Han family. Lin Fengxiang glanced at Yang Yi, who had clear eyes, and knew that what he said was true, and couldn't help but feel a heart of love for talents, intending to trap the two of them under the tent, so he said in a gentle voice.
"Excuse me, we are all outsiders, and the fame and fortune of the worldly red dust are just passing away from us, how can we mess with our hearts?" Yang Yi has been following Uncle Li for a long time, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, his words and deeds consciously or unconsciously brought out the traces of Uncle Li, making him feel that he was secretly wondering, how could he be so handy when he learned from that old liar, is this the black man who is close to ink?
Seeing that Yang Yi was not moved by his words, Lin Fengxiang was not angry, and then looked at Wei Ergou and asked: "You and the others are brothers with the same spirit, presumably Er and Yi are also general thoughts?" ”
"Aren't you knowingly asking, isn't it interesting?" Wei Ergou slanted his eyes at Lin Fengxiang and the others, and his face was completely arrogant and unbeaten, "We can't pee two kinds of people on the same road, what did you say, by the way, the Tao is not the same, you chirp what you want to do, just do it!" ”
Seeing Wei Ergou standing with his eyes beaded, grinning with a big mouth fork, and a big round belly, posing as a social big brother with "a cricket tattooed in the middle of the left green dragon and the right white tiger", Lin Fengxiang is really good at self-cultivation, and his face is still a flat look of Gujing Bubo, and he sneered in a low voice: "The two of you are also commendable, but can you be sure that you will retreat from my thousand-mile military camp?" ”
"You'll have to try it to find out!" Yang Yi and Wei Ergou looked at each other for a moment, and then looked at Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, and Ji Wenyuan with a heroic face, and they were not frightened by Lin Fengxiang's military intimidation at all.
"Okay, good, good ......" Lin Fengxiang looked at the confidence on Yang Yi and Wei Ergou's faces that came from the bottom of his heart instead of pretending, and nodded slightly, "But if Ben Shuai lets you wait, how will you repay me?" ”
"You're going to let us out? Listening to Lin Fengxiang's words, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou were surprised, but they quickly returned to normal, especially Wei Ergou, who still did not change his arrogant nature, and said with a proud smile: "In the future, if it is really a matter of not killing you, I can consider not killing you twice, what?" ”
Wei Ergou said this, but in fact, it was just a joke. I wanted to disgust Lin Fengxiang, but I didn't want Lin Fengxiang to be angry at all, but looked at Yang Yi's eyes and asked, "Is Brother Er's promise also your promise?" ”
Seeing that Lin Fengxiang was serious, Yang Yi was also difficult to ride a tiger, saying no, it was tantamount to pouting Wei Ergou's face, and it would also make Lin Fengxiang and them feel that they were afraid of them, so they nodded and responded: "Yes, our brothers have always been of the same mind, he is me, I am him, and there is no reason to break my word." ”
"Okay, do you dare to give me a high-five?" That Lin Fengxiang looked really serious, and actually raised his right palm to Yang Yi and Wei Ergou, wanting to follow the example of the ancients and swear a high-five.
Yang Yi and Wei Ergou were about to be peed by that Lin Fengxiang, and they said in their hearts, you are not sick, this thing can be taken seriously, but the words have already been spoken, so they have to hold back their laughter and clapped their hands with Lin Fengxiang respectively.
"Ben Shuai believes that you are not a villain who is untrustworthy, and you can go." Lin Fengxiang put his hands behind his back, looked at Yang Yi and Wei Ergou, and said in a dull tone.
"It's that simple? I'm going to take her with me, okay? Yang Yi saw that Lin Fengxiang didn't look like he was joking, so he pointed at the masked woman and said.
"Yes, let go!" Lin Fengxiang glanced at the masked woman, ignored Ji Wenyuan's angry expression, and readily agreed.
"Oh, do you say it's true or false, then we're really leaving, really leaving......" Yang Yi ran over and took the masked woman's hand, brought her to Wei Ergou's side, and then looked at Lin Fengxiang with a smile, and asked for verification again.
"Please take care of yourself......" Lin Fengxiang turned around, just looked at the crater attentively, and no longer paid attention to Yang Yi and Wei Ergou.
"Then let's go, let's go, ah......" Yang Yi and Wei Ergou looked at each other, always feeling like they were joking, but seeing that Lin Fengxiang had already given the eviction order with his body language, he couldn't talk anymore, so he walked through the crowd of Taiping soldiers with cold eyebrows between the masked women on the left and right, and walked straight towards the camp gate.
Looking at the backs of Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and the masked woman gradually moving away, Ji Wenyuan finally couldn't help it, looked at Lin Fengxiang, who was meditating and silent like an old monk, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "What does the prime minister mean by this, the mage who injured me and broke my Sanguan Luo lantern, if you let them leave like this, I am afraid that the brothers will not be convinced......"
Lin Fengxiang ignored Ji Wenyuan's noise, just looked at Li Kaifang, who had been silent, and asked lightly, "What do you think?" ”
Seeing Lin Fengxiang calling himself a local official, Li Kaifang hurriedly bowed slightly to show his humility, and then smiled mysteriously and replied: "The Prime Minister has strategized and won a decisive victory, and played with the Qing demon thief chieftains such as Monk Greenqin and Shengbao, how can we guess the dense thoughts?" However, the military marshal must have another deep meaning in doing this, and this is not something that the petty official's dull mind can guess, and the military marshal forgives the guilt. ”
Li Kaifang is really a veteran of the eunuch journey, and he greatly complimented Lin Fengxiang with his words, and then went around the old man, and returned the problem to Lin Fengxiang, saying the same as if he didn't say it.
"Those who know me, the magistrate, these three people are just ringworm scabies, compared to the elbow and armpit in Cangzhou City, they are insignificant, this handsome will not kill them, in order to come in handy in the future, ho ho" After that, Lin Fengxiang looked up to the sky and laughed, the laughter was sharp and piercing, like a night owl with a strange smile.
