Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Pair in the Cage
Dumb saw the four daughters again, but he didn't say a word, and he was thrown into prison. It is said that the prison is just a watchtower in the northeast corner of the imperial city, and it is not a prison, but it may be the most difficult place to escape in the capital. The royal building did not spare materials, and the foundation of the building was actually a whole piece of white marble. The bottom floor where Dumb is located, all boxy and full of this material, empty only a very small round window open at the height, with wrist-thick iron bars made of tic-tac-toe, and only pigeons and birds are allowed to come and go in the pores. The only way out was the passage above the head to the second floor, the wooden ladder had long been removed, and it was nine feet above the ground, and the entrance to the cave was sealed with stone bars. The palace has always stationed 18 internal guards in this building, the building is four floors high, faintly exceeds the outer wall of the imperial city more than 20 zhang, it is used as an arrow tower in wartime, and it is used as a fire guard in peacetime.
At this moment, this master was picking up half a noodle with chopsticks, and cursed loudly in his mouth: "The craftsmanship of this imperial dining room is really poor, not to mention the cold and lumpy master, this taste is simply difficult to swallow." Lao Tzu came all the way to report the news, just this treatment?" "I thought in my heart: I had a good chat with Qing'er and his father that day, why did I last talk about the matter of harmony, the old man was like beating chicken blood, not to say that the master turned out to be the one who abducted the princess, and his sin was unforgivable. If you don't do it for Lao Tzuguan, you can send me a prison sentence, do you think you can trap Lao Tzu just by relying on this? Dream it! If you don't give Qing'er some face, you will be sent out a long time ago. If you want to say that the old man in charge of the sect is not reliable, what kind of gold medal to avoid death, fart is useless. The four chicks are even worse, all of them are unkind, it's been three days, and there is not even a food delivery.
Thinking of this, Dumb sighed for a while, picked up the water and moon and scribbled on the wall and said: There are countless icing on the cake, and there is only one charcoal in the snow; the country is wasted, and the amorous self-inflicted turn is empty; in vain dreams, but a stupid deer.
was feeling self-pity and self-pity, and suddenly heard that the iron bar in the window was tapped, Dumb turned his head to look, and an object was thrown into the outside in an instant. Dumb stretched out his hand to take it, and found that it was a delicate steamed bun, a lotus leaf embossed on the skin, emerald green. The person didn't want to blurt out: "Why don't you throw a bun to satisfy your cravings, when have you been a vegetarian?" If you want to be beautiful, you only have steamed buns, and you don't like to eat them." As he spoke, a small face poked out of the window, and the person who came was Shangguan Wan'er. The little girl was still holding a chicken leg in her hand, tender and buttery, stretching and shrinking her face full of excitement, and jokingly said: "What a fragrant chicken leg, it's still hot!" But I heard another person say angrily: "Wan'er! "It's a coincidence to listen to the sound. Another voice came in a false voice: "Hey, be quiet, you all stop making trouble!" as if Lian'er was speaking.
Dumb felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and whispered, "You're all here!" The soles of his feet went up to the edge of the window, grabbed the iron bar with his right hand, and did not forget to hold the steamed bun in his left hand, and happily opened his mouth to take the chicken leg in his mouth. Wan'er was about to distinguish a few words, but she was caught by him coldly, and she was busy snatching it with both hands. I didn't want this master to be hungry, this bite was extremely sincere, and the oil-stained chicken leg bones made Wan'er suddenly loosen, and her body fell backwards. Originally, this window was high from the ground, and Dumb was still higher on the ground indoors, but Wan'er climbed the ladder to come up. When I landed, I heard a scream outside the window, accompanied by a coquettish scream, it is estimated that the little girls must have fallen into a mess, and the fools who made such a movement heard it.
Sure enough, I could hear it: "Who is it?" "Who's here?" "There's an assassin!" The sound of people overhead suddenly sounded, followed by footsteps and the sound of swords unsheathed. At this moment, I heard a woman crying, and Ai Ai complained: "Woo~~~ It's all your fault, there is no reason to give birth to these incidents, can't you feed him?Woo~~~ Now that things have fallen like this, how can people eat them?" "Hey-Wan'er, let me say what is good about you! When is it not good to make trouble, but at this time?" Oops!
Dumb was suffering from the fact that the window was too small and he couldn't see anything at the moment, so he couldn't even roll down his eyes, so he was so anxious that he shouted: "Qiao'er, don't cry, I'm not very hungry." ”
After a while, the noise around him gradually subsided, and a voice came: "Hmph! I know that you guys are pretending to be ghosts, and you are all here, and you still don't retreat! What kind of style does it become to disregard your manners like this?" After a slight pause, he said: "Hu Ronghai! Let your people stay here, and no one is allowed to approach." Oh, let them get some food! Soon, the stone strip above his head was removed, and a wooden ladder was slowly lowered after a while. Immediately after, Huber was in front, Injong was behind, and then the chair was also sent into the room from the top of his head.
Li Zhekai walked to the center of the ground floor with his hands in his hands, but first saw graffiti on the wall, his brows furrowed, as if he saw a big joke, and couldn't help jokingly: "These few words, the Tao is still reasonable, but what is this word that is not like words, what is the right thing and bullshit? At a young age, it is amorous?" After that, he turned around and sat down in the chair, and then picked a dumb look at the corner of his eye. But when he heard Hu Bo shouting, "Evil obstacles! As soon as you come, you will stir up the chickens and dogs in the palace! What kind of crime should you be guilty of! Don't kneel down!"
Dumb reluctantly knelt on the ground and said: "The grass people deserve death for their crimes!" Seeing that he respected the number of courtesies, Renzong didn't care whether he was respectful or not, and said: "As the saying goes: no profit is not early. This time, the Fairy Sword Sect sent you, the yellow-haired boy, to come, it should be more than just sending a letter, right? Dumb thought about it for a while, and then repeated the relevant content in Lingyun's notebook, some of which he had thought about in the past few days.
"The northerners have lived in water and grass for generations, going north in spring and summer, and coming south in autumn and winter, which is to disturb our frontier every year, especially in the land under the jurisdiction of Linzhou. If there is no war with Middle-earth, barter, and in time of war, it is customary to plunder what is needed. The successive dynasties conquered the north, because the supply was difficult to continue, so it was not allowed to go deeper, and the victory only reached the first line of the Mobei River. If it is defeated, it will retreat to the line of the Monan River, and use the danger of Yanbo Mountain and the strong defense of Linzhou City as a barrier to prevent its southward invasion, which is also a common practice."
Seeing Renzong nodded, Dumb continued: "However, in the past, the northerners invaded the south, often besieged the city and did not take it, and took the population and property of the villages and towns alone, and went in early spring. People in the world think that they are only good at field warfare, but not good at siege methods, and they have no siege weapons, but in fact, they are not. Although Mobei is vast and sparsely populated, it has a very vast territory and many tribes, even if it does not fight with Middle Earth, they also cannibalize each other, which is difficult for people's hearts to be solidified. In the past, when the eastern and western tribes were in the event of war, they would gather their youth, horses, and armor under their tents to resist Middle-earth, and each of them would take the fruits of plunder, but not divide them equally, so that everyone would fight bravely to be the first, and if there was a truce, they would disperse with their possessions. If you take the city and rule it, you will divide the army everywhere, lest the homeland be unsafe, and if you can take it, it is better not to take it." Seeing that Renzong was noncommittal, Dumb got up and carved on the wall, roughly the mountains and rivers around the battle, with the intersection as the city, and the circle as the danger.
"This time, the northerners gathered all the departments to come south, but it was different from the past. Haotian Shan was in the prime of life, and he had been on the throne for more than ten years, and all the eastern and western departments had surrendered. Regardless of whether the saint believes it or not, the Haotian Ministry is bound to win the four counties of Jiangbei this time, in a vain attempt to invade one state, and contact the two states in southern Xinjiang to rise up together, and disrupt our Middle Earth. At that time, the north and the south will be caught between the north and the south, and the situation will be in danger." Dumb said this, his mouth was already dry, but Renzong still listened to the following color, so he had to continue: "Since the enemy is under the pretense of peace and relatives, and Chen Bing is in the city of Zhou, the court can assume that the princess will travel in the spring of tomorrow, and force her to take the lead, and then it will take a good time." The left army was stationed in the closed city and constantly harassed the periphery of Linzhou by virtue of the topography of Yanbo Mountain; the right army stationed in Luancheng and constantly obstructed it. If the enemy cannot attack for a long time, one will be left to besiege the city, and the other will go around the city. If it is expected to be good, it will definitely be in the Luancheng area of the right army of Nanfan. At that time, the right army can temporarily retreat, give up the canal along the canal to lure the enemy into the depths, and resist step by step; the Chinese army's naval division relies on the river to hover and move quickly, allowing our army to come and go, and cutting the enemy along the way. The driver of the left army moved, cutting off his way home. If he doesn't come to attack me, it's enough, but if he comes, he will leave and never return. Only in this way can we accomplish the battle".
Speaking of this, Renzong got up and walked to the front of the picture, slowly touched the texture of the mountains and rivers with his hand, and fell into deep thought. Dumb observed the words and continued: "Holy Lord, forgive the grass people for being blunt, since ancient times, the kings of the gods and martial arts have all been pro-virtuous ministers and far from villains. According to what this sect has obtained, what Yang Lie did is the key to Beikou's ride, whether it is war or peace, and this trouble should be eliminated first. It is true that the beginning of the war was difficult and difficult, but under the unity of the people, this battle should be able to damage most of the enemy's elite, or it may be possible to take advantage of the victory to pursue and build two cities in the Mobei River Valley and the Lightning Strike Mountain, and determine the pattern of the future generations outside Middle-earth, and it is not known." As he spoke, he drew two places in the void at a high place, pointing out the gravel falling from the rivers and mountains.
From then on, Renzong spoke: "Old Hu, can there be such a person with such divine power among the guards? This son can stay, so he will be a captain under you." Turning to face Dumb, he said, "The three generations of the Yang family, I have always relied on it. Just based on today's words, I want to dislike the important ministers of the imperial court, a big joke! However, the Immortal Sword Sect has been quite rich in wings over the years, and this time it is even more painstaking! Boy, take the words back, I want to win my trust, and send one hundred and eighty people like you to assist first, if not, everything is not to be discussed!" After speaking, Renzong Li Zhekai Shi Ran walked to the hanging ladder, but he didn't know who to say to in his mouth: "As the saying goes: wealth is only three generations, these few generations, the court is also not thin on his Yang family, if he really does something, there will be a curse." The words were so angry that Dumb's heart swelled up, and he compared fiercely behind him, but was stopped by Hu Bo's cold eyes..........
In the south of the city, the three fat men have been like ants on a hot pot these days, and as soon as his brother entered the palace gate, he sank into the sea like a stone, and he came to this trick again without any news, so he went to the palace to retreat? However, his mother and second uncle have also disappeared mysteriously these days, and this fat brother really has no idea. Finally, when he saw Dumb entering the door dressed as a captain, the fat man was overjoyed, grabbed Dumb, and said happily: "Brother, don't play like this, don't tell me anything, my friend doesn't do this." Dumb greeted him with a fist in the chest and said, "Haha! I'm looking for you for something, get some wine and meat first, I can be suffocated to death in the past few days." ”
