Chapter 025: Spring Thunder Kills
At noon, the sun was shining.
Wuxia.
The gorge is long and the valley is deep, the clouds are swirling with fog, it is beautiful and strange, Wuxia is famous for its handsomeness since ancient times.
The peaks on both sides of the gorge are like screens, the boat travels in the gorge, sometimes the mountains are in front of the river, and the stone plug is doubtful; suddenly the peaks turn around, and the clouds open a different day.
Tangjiabao, the base of the Tangmen of the Xiajiang River, towers magnificently on the Xiajiang River where the ten thousand peaks are majestic and a river passes, the "Goddess Peak" cliff of the twelve peaks of Wushan Mountain is back, and faces the Xiajiang River with the twists and turns of the river, with its natural barrier, not only the foreign enemy is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but also the city is also steep and heavy.
The Sea Falcon rode the wind and waves all the way.
Tang Qianxi, Fu Xi, and Tang Xiaodao stood on the bow deck of the ship, the river breeze was blowing in front of them, their hair was fluttering, and the three of them looked at Tangjiabao not far ahead at the same time.
Qiwei's unique Tangjia Fort shines brightly under the sun, and suddenly eclipses the beautiful scenery on both sides of the strait.
The speed of the ship began to slow down.
"Xiaodao, don't go back to Tangjiabao first, go directly to Shu County. Tang Qianxi's eyes flashed, and he ordered.
Tang Xiaodao didn't ask anything, and went without hesitation.
"Big Brother ......"
Fu Xi's eyes shot a grateful look, and when he was about to speak, Tang Qianxi had already snapped and said: "Everything is in a dilemma, Fu Xi has to do something urgent, and you should put the country's righteousness first." ”
Fu Xi stared at Tang Qianxi's unfathomable deep eyes, grateful and speechless.
When the No. 1 Sea Falcon Ship No. 1 on which the young master of the Tang Sect was riding approached the Tangjiabao ferry, all the other sailors on the five-boat Sea Falcon who were on standby at the ferry all stood up and saluted neatly.
When Tang Qianxi stood at the bow of the ship and waved to everyone at the ferry, Fu Xi set his eyes on the rolling river in front of him, thinking that the waves did not know how many heroes were exhausted, and the success or failure became the yellow flower of tomorrow, only this green mountain and river will last forever, and he couldn't help but sigh.
The speed of the ship increased again.
Tang Qianxi suddenly broke the silence and said calmly: "After being busy, if you are free, you will come to the Tang Gate with Feng Yi on the sixth day of the next month." ”
Fu Xi was a little embarrassed at first, but when he saw Tang Qianxi's fist, he smiled happily and said one word: "Okay." ”
Return to silence.
The two couldn't find a topic for a while, and they didn't know what to say.
Under the escort of the Sea Falcon No. 1, it was smooth sailing, and there was no obstacle from the Fire Wheel Sect.
Fu Xi can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
......
The sun sets on the west mountain, and the sky is full of red clouds.
Fu Xi arrived in Shu County, and after bidding farewell to Tang Qianxi, he rushed to the palace non-stop.
Since Qin annihilated Bashu, the Han Dynasty Qin unified the world, due to the ancient origin of the Shu Han Dynasty of Gaozu Liu Bang, Shu County has since become the political, economic and cultural center of Xiqi Town.
This time, Fu Xi came to the palace to meet with the black tooth Changzhi who guarded Xiqi, and his number broke through the Northern Desert to shock the world, and the Turks and Khitans were invincible, and now they have entered the title of Yan Guogong.
Passing through the outer city, there are two gates to the north, the Divine Beast and the Rui Beast, to enter the inner city.
Xiqi Shu County Royal Mansion is located in the inner city, can be roughly divided into five areas, divided into the main hall, the east palace, the west hall, the backyard and the garden five districts, just like other palace cities, the whole city sits in the north and faces south, the south gate is the Xuande Gate, after the entrance is the official office is located, the left and right sides open the west and east two gates.
Entering from the door of the beast, the main hall area is inside, and it is the hall of the meeting, the Chenggan hall and the Shouguang Pavilion in turn. Between the three halls, there is a wide courtyard, connected by a corridor.
The east of the main hall area is the East Palace District, which is divided into two parts: the main stadium and the East Inner Palace. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, polo has been popular, so there is this facility. The west is the west hall area, which is the center of the inner city, with multiple palaces, and it is also the official office of the black tooth Changzhi to deal with military aircraft affairs, and the access is strict.
West Hall, Inner Festival Hall.
Fu Xi entered through the door with a gust of wind, and finally saw Yan Guogong's black teeth Changzhi with a dusty face.
Hei Tooth is over 60 years old, but he is still in good spirits. This contemporary famous general has the demeanor of a Confucian scholar, his eyes are hidden, and although he wears everyday civilian clothes, he has more commanding spirit and majesty than any other general in armor and military uniform.
Because the two have known each other for many years, they didn't have too many polite greetings after meeting.
In the barracks, time is of the essence.
In Red Mansions, time is also efficiency.
After Fu Xi took a sip of tea, he directly stated the reason for coming to the palace.
After hearing this, Hei Tooth Changzhi stood up from the main seat, walked to Fu Xi's side, and sighed lightly, and said solemnly: "Fu Xi, you are wrong." The assassination operation of the Fire Wheel Cult, called 'Spring Thunder', was not aimed at Shu County, but at Tang Sect. ”
Fu Xi's complexion changed drastically, his delicate body trembled violently, his heart was shocked, and he said in disbelief: "How is it possible, has the situation changed?"
Hei Tooth Changzhi's eyes flashed, and he said, "This news is absolutely true and absolutely reliable. Moreover, the assassination of the Tang Sect was not only the Fire Turning Cult, but also the masters of the Turkic Mission. The Turkic mission was nominally invited by His Majesty to come to Wuzhou as a guest to enhance the friendship of allies, but they did not expect that half a month ago, they suddenly divided their troops in Jieting, and the envoy went to Chang'an, while the secret envoy turned around and rushed south to Xiqi Bashu, and joined forces with the Fire Wheel Cult in Jieting. Well, this is the content of the actions mentioned in detail within the Turks. As he spoke, he found a thin roll of sheepskin from the desk and handed it to Fu Xi.
The "Street Pavilion" in Longzhong, the place where Nuwa was born and the place where Zhuge resented, is a place of extraordinary significance in history.
The Turks' choice of this place as the starting point for this operation is meaningful and significant.
Fu Xi's scalp was numb and he took it, opened it and took a closer look, and what caught his eye was the list of the eight masters of the cult and the Turks, which were: the Great Brahma Lou Chongfeng of the Fire Wheel Cult, Shaojing Smallpox Yuxiu, the ruling envoy Yijianmei, and the Turkic "Ye Hu" and "Teller" Que Ge and their three major deputies, Jing Cang, Qu Zhe, and An Qinger.
Fu Xi knew that after Li Xian, the Holy Monarch of the Fire Wheel Sect, was severely injured by Tang Qianxi at the Langshui Ferry, he would definitely recuperate in the short term, but he never thought that this siege of the Tang Gate would actually send two major and young priests at the same time.
On the other hand, the Turkic Mosi Khan has always admired martial arts, and once personally drew up a ranking of martial arts cultivation masters in the clan, and the five Turkic masters who came to join forces with the cult are all on the list, and their strength should not be underestimated.
The youngest son of the Khan, the "Ye Hu" of the Turkic court, is the meaning of the "crown prince" of the Central Plains court.
Que Ge, the youngest son of the former Turkic Khan Gu Dulu, is currently the younger brother of the Golden Wolf Army's "Right Set" Mo Ju, and his title of "Teller" is equivalent to the status of a first-class prince.
They are also the second and fourth figures in the court of the Mosi Khan, and the "Four Great Eagles" of the Turkic steppe are collectively known as the "Four Great Eagles" of the Turkic steppe.
And Jing Cang, Qu Zhi, Anqinger three masters, in the Turks is also prestigious, in the Central Plains also enjoy a certain reputation, many years ago with the visit to the Shushan Xuanyuan, had and the "Shushan Three Heroes" competition, achieved a victory, a draw and a defeat of the peace results.
Fu Xi was speechless, his heart sank, and he secretly called Tangmen in danger!
Blacktooth Changzhi's eyes were occupied by a calm and sharp look, and he continued: "The strength of the Fire Wheel Cult and the Turkic Mission, I think you already know it, so I don't need to emphasize it. It is worth them to give it a go, it should be for the sake of the reckless ancient mines and sophisticated armor that the Tang Sect has dominated the world for a hundred years, as well as the latest weapon Lei Zhenzi. ”
Fu Xi pondered for a long time, with a worried look on his face, and said: "The Turkic mission ignored the face of Wu Zhou and his Turkic allies, entered the country without permission, and carried out illegal activities, and its heart can be punished. I don't know what Your Majesty is going to do, and what strategy do you have to meet the enemy?"
Hei Tooth Changzhi showed a look of disappointment that could not be hidden, and sighed softly: "The Holy Secret Letter has been delivered to the mansion this morning. After speaking, he took out Her Majesty's secret letter from the placket of his coat and handed it to Fu Xi.
After seeing it, Fu Xi felt a shudder in his heart, both disappointed and confused.
Her Majesty's secret letter is only eight words: the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch comes behind.
These eight words are like an initiation, which makes Fu Xi seem to wake up from a beautiful dream and realize it.
Tangmen has a wide range of industries, and its wealth rivals that of the country.
The Tang Sect has excellent armor and can quickly become an army.
Tangmen's century-old reputation is enough to establish a country.
With such a prominent Tang Sect, how can any emperor of the dynasty rest assured? Just like the side of the couch, how can he allow others to snore?
Who called him the "Tang" gate, not some other "Zhou" or "Zhao" gate...... Wu Zhou is particularly sensitive to it and is extremely taboo.
First of all, he acquiesced in the fire wheel cult and the Turkic mission to join forces, and took advantage of the situation to get rid of it, so as to "kill people with a knife"!
Then take advantage of their success, lay out their pockets, and sweep them all together, a good "one stone and three eagles" trick!
Thinking of this, Fu Xi felt cold all over his body, and even a little afraid, for the first time in his life, he felt inexplicable fear of Her Majesty the Empress.
The darkness of the political struggle and the reality that loyalty and righteousness are difficult to complete made her speechless for a while, and her mind was blank.
Hei Yan Chang Zhi patted Fu Xi's shoulder, a little pity, a little helpless, and said: "The old man knows your relationship with Tang Men, in fact, my personal relationship with Tang He is also good. Tangmen has always been the arsenal of the imperial court, never slack, and the contribution is indispensable, at the moment of crisis, whether it is the morality of the rivers and lakes, or the law of the temple, the old man should be obliged to help, but the emperor's order cannot be violated. ”
Fu Xi smiled bitterly, understanding in his heart, but he didn't know how to answer him.
Hei Tooth Changzhi sighed, his spirit lifted, his eyes flashed, and he continued: "However, you are relieved. After these wolves, tigers and leopards succeeded, they will undoubtedly retreat in the direction of the White Emperor City, and the old man has deployed a hundred elite soldiers in Qutang Pass and Feichuan Ridge, the two roads they must pass to escape, and he will definitely pay for his blood debts and enjoy his life. ”
Fu Xi said gloomily: "It's just this bait...... The sacrifice is somewhat great. ”
Hei Yan Changzhi changed the topic and said softly: "Do you know who the person Your Majesty arranged to deliver the letter to the old man? It is Zhaohe Fairy, one of your envoys to the Red Mansion in Fengmingzhai, and she is still in the house." Presumably, at this moment, I should have gone to the small courtyard outside the hall to wait for you to meet. ”
Fu Xi came back to her senses, and after thanking Hei Yachang, she walked out of the door and saw her sister, Zhaohe, who ranked third on the Red Mansion List.
The two reunited after a long absence, and after a joyful greeting, they couldn't help but think of the fifth sister Hatsune who was about to pick up Fuxi in Bazhou last month and was intercepted by Xiangliao halfway, and was sad.
Although everyone was ready to sacrifice for the imperial court, the living were more painful than the dead.
It's getting dark.
Fu Xi asked, "Zhaohe, does the emperor have something to say to me?"
Zhao He stared at the east and said solemnly: "The emperor asked you to return to the Shendu quickly." The turmoil in Xiqi Bashu was handed over to the Duke of Yan Guogong to deal with it with full authority. ”
When Fu Xi heard this, he knew that the last hope was also dashed.
Grief.
