Chapter 130: No Wolf Smoke
Luo Daoren opened his eyes in the early morning, and did not find the sleepy apprentice, strange, this little cub did not say that he got up early, even if he got up, he was too angry to get up, and looked at the past, only to find that the apprentice carried a branch and set up a shelf by the water, indiscriminately? Luo Daoren quickly retracted this prejudice, approached with his negative hand, and saw that the apprentice with a good foundation was in his hand, every time he condensed a little, he shot in one go, such as lifting a sword and walking a dragon and snake, especially in the fact that there are one or two points of swordsmanship, Luo Daoren's eyes widened, and he dared to love this cub is really talented enough to look at the water and understand the sword, and he has no teacher? But Luo Pingyang remembered that he didn't teach him swordsmanship at all, not because he was afraid that the apprentice of the church would starve to death to the master, but that Luo Daoren already knew six of the seven tricks of swordsmanship, and he didn't know anything! Luo Daoren didn't see Xu Gongzi's figure, and when the apprentice waved a set, he stopped sweating, and then he asked suspiciously: "How do you know swordsmanship?"
This little black charcoal snorted, shook a sword flower with a withered branch, and grinned: "Xu Gongzi praised me for my root bone Qingqi, and taught me this sword, I pondered that when I returned to Yanyang Temple, Senior Brother Qingyan would not be my opponent." β
Speaking of the senior brother who relied on his age and strength, and even more because the master was the master, the child was especially resentful, and always thought that he had learned peerless martial arts and beat him all over the ground to find teeth. Luo Daoren frowned and asked, "That Xu Gongzi still knows swordsmanship?"
The child realized it later, shook his head and said: "Probably not, before teaching me this sword last night, he said that it was seen by accident from a missing page of an ancient book, I think he probably thinks he can't learn it, so he simply taught me, and when I become a top swordsman in the future, he also has face." β
The child remembered something, trotted to the river, picked up two pairs of straw sandals, and said with a smile: "Master, this is a gift from him, before leaving, let me give a message to Master, saying that he likes your poems, what are the words of benevolence, and also said that the sword moves the green mountains to make up for the peace, and the top is good." After the end, he said that he had memorized all the thirty-two poems, and went back to read them to his second sister, anyway, that guy was nagging, but I wrote down so much, hey, and then I forgot about practicing the sword, and I forgot about it, and I didn't understand it anyway. β
The old Taoist is about to fight, where will the child be afraid of this kind of bluff that he has seen for many years, he lifted the branch like a sword, pushed the straw sandals into the master's arms, and flattered: "I'll carry the bookcase." Master, remember, I will be a swordsman in the future, you just wait for me to move the sword to the green mountains in the future!"
Luo Daoren smiled helplessly: "Rabbit cub, remember people's good!"
The child rushed forward, laughing crisply, "Zhilu Dao!"
Luo Daoren looked down at the straw sandals in his hand, shook his head and sighed: "When you go to bed, you say goodbye to your shoes, who knows that you will never meet again." β
Xu Fengnian walked alone on the bank of weak water, wearing a red robe in a green python robe and floating leisurely, the yin nature likes water and fire, and the yin yuan baby is more happy when he sees the water, from time to time the head surfaces, chewing a river fish in his mouth, facing the shore Xu Fengnian, all full of blood, Xu Fengnian is too lazy to pay attention, the pair of master and apprentice naturally will not know that if he secretly blocked the crossing of the river, the man holding the sheepskin raft will be dragged into the water, and treat the yin as a meal of meat, and the child will regard it as a water ghost and will not be wronged. Xu Fengnian taught the child the sword at night, which is a majestic Kaishu style, but it is estimated that with the identity of the master and apprentice, even if the child practices the sword every day, he can't grasp the five points of the essence of the sword in the year of the sixtieth year. Luo Dao people are already considered to be people with a heart, or a Taoist temple prison, poor all his life, tirelessly seeking immortality, but it is still the twelve-story building that even the Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master Mansion has already climbed to the top, and it has not been completed halfway, this is the real rivers and lakes, some people are so poor that they can't touch a lot of money, and some people are so rich that a gold mountain is not in sight.
Xu Fengnian suddenly stopped, squatted on the ground, and moved all the objects in the bookcase out to bask in the sun, which was regarded as taking a Nanzhao to exchange for the Spring and Autumn Sword with the orphans of Xishu, and the sword qi was enough, Xu Fengnian could only play five or six out of ten. That rainy alley met on a narrow road, and almost died at the blind female pianist's bearded beat. The black box with the three handles of the ancient sword of the Great Qin was turned into the tomb of the Qin Emperor from the dragon wall, and it was dressed in white.
A handful of spring thunder. Does the white fox face go upstairs?
A knife spectrum stops at knotting green silk.
The soft shirt on his body that he couldn't sleep on after two trips. Twelve flying swords, the golden wisps of the morning dew are full of Adu's sword fetus.
A pair of straw sandals that I don't know if I can give away. This job was learned from Lao Huang, I remember the first time the old man with missing front teeth handed over a pair of straw sandals, Xu Fengnian jumped to his feet and scolded that this is also a shoe?
As a hereditary vassal prince, he can get many rare things for no reason, but Xu Fengnian unknowingly fought for something, but at the same time, with the passage of time, he will lose a lot of things that cannot be retained no matter how hard he tries. I can't say how much suffering I have suffered, and if I say that others are only satisfied with your lard, I am telling a hungry man that meat and vegetables are greasy. So when I met someone, I can only say how blessed I am.
Xu Fengnian put them back into the bookcase one by one.
The Yin Yuan Infant came to the shore and tilted his head to look at this guy with compassion.
ββββ
The Liyang Dynasty once under the supervision of Xu Xiao personally created an unprecedented huge post road system network, the post station is the point, the post road is the line, and the line is supplemented by the beacon and the military town and the Wubao, which is built into a piece, which is daunting. Now the border defense of the eastern line of Liyang almost completely copied the original framework, and absorbed a large number of remnants of the Central Plains, Beimang, also began to spare no effort to engrave this proved to be an incomparably effective war skeleton, among which the beacon chimney pier is only Maolong in Jiayu County, Longjiao Prefecture, where Maolong is located, there are a total of 100 beacons of size, according to the distribution of three lines, one in ten miles, facing each other continuously, the border beacons are connected, every time there is a war, the wolf smoke rises in turn. The empress once patrolled the border at night, and when she was happy, she boarded the beacon and personally lit four torches, so the next moment the lights of the whole state were blazing, and the three beacon lines were like three fire dragons. Ten flints cut off their arms, and the commander of a state beacon was demoted to an ordinary beacon, and he decreed that he would never be promoted.
There are several lines of post roads in Beimang only for the military to pass, there was a powerful and hot royal family private salt and iron, in the territory of Longjiao Prefecture and a team of Southern Dynasty cavalry collided, killed, the news leaked for some reason, the empress stabbed this nephew when he said that the smuggling of salt and iron can not die, and the horse post road should die twice. Then the man's young son-in-law was pulled out of his home and hanged alive. Since then, there have been no miscellaneous people coming and going on such post roads.
The first line of post road from the valley military town has long been a frightened bird, the four thousand iron horsemen rushed all the way, the horse's hooves arrived, the post station and the beacon were all destroyed without exception, everyone knew that the six thousand defenders of the valley were already an urn in the turtle, dare not withdraw, dare not fight, the two major towns of tile building and gentleman's hall are a lesson from the past, the tile building swing took the initiative to attack, before the valley in Maolong, had to take the cruel mission of exchanging life for life to consume the lonely army, and could only pray that the generals in the temple of the Southern Dynasty could quickly give a countermeasure, after the two wars, the former extremely proud Southern Dynasty has no military town that can be compared with the elite combat power of the Northern Liang Army, and the valley is facing annihilation, people's hearts are panicked, coupled with the closure of the town, many of the children of the high-ranking families who are not allowed to go out of the city are either holding their heads and crying, or they are drunk today and drunk today, and they will die tomorrow and die tomorrow. The people who were kept in the dark, because of martial law, were not as dead as the well-informed magnates and gentry. Many families in the city took advantage of the fact that the city had not yet been closed, and they all dragged their families to flee north, just like the scene of the lost dog in the spring and autumn when the scholars ran north, it turned out to be the scourge of the Beiliang army and people!
Maolong Ladder Mountain Beacon.
Built on the top of the hill, the rammed earth is solid, there is a hard red willow branch giant tree that has been chiseled through, the flint body is tall, because this mountain is close to the border army town Maolong, the ladder mountain beacon is additionally equipped with three more beacons, there are twelve people in a flint. In the past few years, the states of Fengsui did not care about the Northern Court and the Southern Dynasty, only the northerners, and the people of the Southern Dynasty were not allowed to serve as the Fengsui, but they were only able to enter the Fengsui in the past two years, and then the two quickly equalized, for which the imperial account complained greatly. The twelve people of Ladder Mountain Fengsui are just half of the north and south, two of the three Suishuai are from the Southern Dynasty, and the other deputy Suishuai is a rough man, where can he fight the other two, and he is very excluded, which makes Mangren Fengzi very embarrassed, day by day, he dared to secretly drink a few sips of wine before, and now he has to suffer a whipping once he is caught.
Ladder Mountain's oldest old Fengzi is a typical reckless person, shaved and braided, rough facial contours, quite majestic, but unfortunately just a guts of the nest, in the past after the Sui drank in private than anyone else, now even even quit drinking, the two Southern Dynasty Suishuai did not have anything to do with him like to take him as a fun, so that the call is like a pig dog, the hard work of late night duty is thrown to him, this old guy is not silent, the only time he was angry was the pretty daughter of the old Fengzi to visit, to Suishuai halfway interception and play, to drag into the woods in the middle of the mountain, the rest of the Fengzi to see the joke, but also curious about how such a waste gave birth to such a watery girl, if unfortunately with the fatherAs for whether the deputy Suishuai succeeded or missed, outsiders can only guess a few words in idleness, the Southern Dynasty Fengzi looks down on him, and the North Court Fengzi is also disgusted, the old guy is not a person inside and out, and his life is lonely, only a fledgling Fengzi who has newly entered the ladder mountain Suitai, and this guy nicknamed the stuffy gourd can still talk. This unsociable new Ding surname is Yuan Minghuai, Yuan is a surname in the Southern Dynasty, and it is also one of the few big surnames, but no one thinks that the children of such a big family will be willing to be a beacon who is destined to have no military merits.
Yuan Huai doesn't have to be on duty in broad daylight, since the old guy no longer goes to drink outside the beacon platform, he has nowhere to go at all, always shrinks his hands and feet and stands in the dark place in the beacon tower to look out, and he is not tired of looking at it for many years, Yuan Huai is a fair-eyed Fengzi, with a small waist and a slender waist similar to a girl, everyone in Ladder Mountain knows that Suishuai has always been a vegetarian and not taboo for both men and women, and they all wonder if this surnamed Yuan is the identity of the Fengzi in exchange for the buttocks, although the Fengzi is a clear water errand with no oil and water and no future compared to the regular border army, but compared to many trades, it is still comfortable, at least the sun is not hungry, and the monthly money is not left behindγ Yuan Huai didn't look at the old beacon and asked, "How many beacons did you say there were in the Liyang Dynasty?"
The old Fengzi, who was not old but looked old, said hoarsely: "It's not clear at this time, there must be 12,000 in the first five or six years." β
Yuan Huai touched the green turban and said curiously: "I heard Sui Shuai say that the Fengsui in the Guannei of the Liyang Dynasty, every day, he will fire a torch to report safety." Why don't we just do it?"
There was a bitter-looking old Fengzi's voice like a wind and sand grinding stone, and he said softly: "Pacify the Spring and Autumn Eight Kingdoms, for fear of repeated civil strife, you have to rely on this Taiping Fire to transmit information to Tai'an City." β
Yuan Huai said with a smile: "Then Emperor Liyang must be tired, if he doesn't see the Taiping Fire one day, he won't have to sleep, and he has to call the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to the forbidden place." β
Lao Fengzi said flatly: "Don't be tired of doing anything." β
The whole territory of Beimang did not report the peace fire, and it was the decision of Her Majesty the Empress to make a decision.
When there is no peace, the wolf smoke is lit, and I will still give you a peace.
What a conceit!
Yuan Huai sighed and rubbed his cheeks, which were much darker and rougher, "The steps of the ancestral hall at home must be covered with moss." β
Lao Fengzi was silent.
Yuan Huai said to himself: "If I am at home, I like to catch candle insects and put them into a bag to make a firefly sac, and I can read at night without picking up the lamp." β
He turned his head and joked: "Old man Xiang, your daughter is so smart, like a painting of a fairy, or marry me." β
The old guy smiled rarely, and didn't say whether it was good or bad.
Yuan Huai glared and said, "Give me an accurate word, isn't it a big man!"
Old Fengzi shook his head.
Yuan Huai turned his head and muttered, "Stingy!"
Yuan Huai was rough for a while, and immediately asked, "Old man Xiang, when do you think I can become a flint?"
Lao Fengzi stared at him for a few moments, then turned his head and said, "You? β
Yuan Huai said anxiously: "Why can't I?"
Lao Fengzi said softly: "When you are an official, you have to hide it deeply, just like a woman's breasts." β
Yuan Huai was stunned for a moment, raised his voice and said with a big smile: "Yo, do you still know how to be reasonable?"
The old guy said flatly: "As long as you are a person, you can understand a few people, especially an old guy of my age." β
Yuan Huai rolled his eyes and said: "It's boring to talk to you." β
A young man strode in and said to the old guy: "Old man Xiang, go, go to the market with the master and bring a few pots of wine, the wine money is owed first." β
The old Fengzi was silent, and he was about to leave Fengsui to buy wine for his colleagues, as for the wine money that these Fengzi owed him, it accumulated over time, not to mention fifty taels of silver, thirty or forty taels would definitely not be able to run away, but he was just a mess of mud, and he was used to being manipulated. Yuan Huai couldn't look at it, so he played a round for Old Man Xiang and said that he would go. The Fengzi who took advantage of the situation as a matter of course looked at each other angrily, and saw Yuan Huai grinning, a palm-sized face, a pointed chin, and fine skin and tender flesh similar to that of a girl, and he had no fire in his heart, but he also felt that there was an evil fire in his lower abdomen, but this surnamed Yuan was very likely to be Suishuai's plaything, no matter how bold he was, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, but it was good to be able to get over his hand, licking his face and saying good brother, he was going to hug his shoulder, but Yuan Huai was dexterous and dodged and slipped out. Fengzi, who was eating and waiting for death in Ladder Mountain, was disappointed, stared at Yuan Xiaozi's ass and slashed a few times, scolding himself in his heart that he really wanted to be crazy, and looked back at the old immortal bad luck and spit out thick phlegm, and then swaggered out of the road.
There are two horses in the Ladder Mountain Fengsui, one for the Suishuai to ride to the military town of Maolong, the wine market has to be more than 20 miles away, Yuan Huai told the Fengzi who guarded the horses to invite all the brothers to drink, and they were able to ride down the mountain.
When going down the mountain, Yuan Huai passed by with a small group of border town horsemen, and the first handsome brother was almost as virtuous as the guy in Fengsui, and when he saw him, his eyes were playful, and he whistled, Yuan Huai endured the cold and quickly whipped his horse.
The cavalry team had a total of six horses, and a cavalry member who was only half a horse away from the leader of the cavalry asked softly, "Don't solve it?"
The little boss who was cynical a moment ago restrained his expression, narrowed his eyes, shook his head slightly, and said, "Put it in the back and kill." Keep in mind that there may not be only nine beacons in the vicinity of the town. β
The handsome-faced horseman snorted, "Brother Hanlin, we've killed all the way, let's just smash the seven beacons, and we have a lot of them!"
Li Hanlin, who became more and more cold when he was silent, exhaled, "It's not a bad thing to be careful, brothers can't leave their lives in Beimang anymore." Get rid of this beacon, and then there will be no matter for our brothers. ...... when I go back."
Li Hanlin did not continue.
How many people can return?
Li Yue bit his chapped lip, his eyes were cold, and he nodded heavily.
There is a checkpoint half a mile away from the Ladder Mountain Fengsui, a beacon is dozing off against a tree under the shade, and he didn't even wake up to the sound of horses' hooves that were not deliberately wrapped in soft cloth. The cavalry deliberately stopped at the checkpoint for a while, and then slowly went up the mountain, there were two Southern Dynasty Fengzi gags outside the Fengsui chimney, all waiting for Yuan Huai to buy wine and come back to satisfy his hunger, seeing the cavalry wearing Maolong light armor lazily appeared in the field of vision, thinking that it was the military master who came here to find an acquaintance, squeezed out a smile and stepped forward to compliment a few words, the six horsemen dismounted at the same time, Li Hanlin smiled and walked to Fengsui with a Fengzi hooking his shoulder, and asked casually: " You Suishuai is not here, Lao Tzu finally seized the opportunity to sneak out to breathe, and said that we will go to Maolong tonight to drink flower wine, but don't let the pigeons go! β
Fengzi was envious and coveted in his heart, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, what the military master said is reasonable, and he should be happy." If the military master can be trusted, the small courage will help the military master lead the way, the Maolong hook fence, and the small familiar road. β
Stepping into the shadows hidden by the beacon, Li Hanlin smiled and said, "You kid is on the road, you like it." β
On the road.
It's really on the road, Huangquan Road.
At the same time as Li Hanlin made a move, Li Shiyue also broke the neck of another Fengzi. Li Hanlin gave a look, Lu Dou held a dagger in his mouth, hung a spear bag from his waist, jumped high, hooked his hands into the flint wall, quickly climbed to the wall, and quietly turned in.
There are fifty crossbowmen in one standard, but there are only six of them left. Wu Chang Li Hanlin, Wu Chang Lu Dou, Li Shiyue, and three elite crossbowmen who have replaced the cool knife with a reckless knife, among which the heavy pupil Lu Dou is no longer worthy of the knife.
In Fengsui, Li Hanlin was red-eyed, thinking that the dust had settled, and the Ladder Mountain Fengsui had killed all of them except for the beautiful Fengzi who was dressed as a man on horseback and rode down the mountain, and let Lu Dou and Li October search for whether there was a dark room in Sui, and never thought that an old Fengzi had inexplicably attacked Li Hanlin in a hidden place, when he was about to get some Fengsui Wenlu, the result was that Ma Zhenzhai blocked the poisonous knife for him, and the sharp short knife stabbed the eight-foot Beiliang man through the heart, that Fengzi was obviously a master, a fatal knife, and when the knife was drawn, it also brought out the arc, and the whole heart was opened with a bang, Ma Zhenzhai was still saying that he wanted to return to Beiliang before he died, Take the silver and bring it to the fathers, mothers, wives and children of several brothers who died in battle, the old Fengzi made a knife quickly, Li Hanlin parried hard, and slashed the shoulder to the barbarian who was not good, fortunately, before he could exert his strength, the old Fengzi gave Lu Dou who came to follow the sound to smash his back with a punch, which was not enough, Lu Dou held down his head and smashed it against the wall, the whole head was like a fist beating a watermelon, and the flesh and blood were blurred when he fell to the ground, and he couldn't recognize the face at all, Lu Dou looked at Li Hanlin, and the latter shook his head and said that it was okay.
Li Hanlin walked over to Ma Zhenzhai's corpse and squatted down and helped him close his eyes.
Li October's lips squirmed, but he still didn't make a sound.
Li Hanlin said calmly: "Lu Dou, you are good at tracking, ride my horse with the best foot strength, and chase the beacon who came down the mountain, remember, only chase twenty miles, if you can't catch up, turn back immediately and meet us at the previous beacon." β
Lu Dou walked out of the beacon in silence.
Li October slammed his fist into the wall.
Li Hanlin raised his head and said, "Our Dragon Elephant Army doesn't plan to eat Ligu at all, it's up to us to see who will fall into the trap of Ligu Maolong." β
Dong Zhuo personally led 8,000 cavalry to gallop day and night and rushed to Maolong.
He was ready to abandon Ligu from the beginning.
Dong Fatzi just looks very fat, but in fact, he is the kind of strong man who is not bloated at all, and he takes the lead.
There are constantly rangers coming to give feedback on the military situation.
The crow column under Dong Zhuo's command, Beimang's eighty columns ranked first.
The elite cavalry of the 8,000 Southern Dynasties is second to none, and its momentum is like a rainbow.
Dong Zhuo habitually knocked his teeth, and a haze appeared in his eyes.
Two quarters of an hour later, not a single one of the hundred raven pens returned.
Finally, a horse came galloping, covered in blood, with crossbow arrows stuck in his back, Dong Zhuo quickly whipped his horse, preventing him from turning over and dismounting to report the military situation, "Sit and say." β
The dying crow was oozing blood from the corner of his mouth, and he tried his best to bite the words clearly: "Three miles ahead, there are heavy soldiers in ambush!"
After saying that, he died of breath.
Dong Zhuo stretched out his arm to support the corpse, preventing it from falling off the horse's back, exhaled a long breath, clenched his fist and raised his arm.
The whole army was solemn.
The fighting spirit is high.
Dong Zhuo did not move.
A big banner with the word Dong hunted in the wind.
The front is also known as the gourd mouth, the two ends are vast and narrow in the middle.
A hundred crow bars must have died there.
Dong Zhuo's patience has always been good.
Dong Zhuo's cavalry on the opposite side knew about the ambush, and when they saw that he didn't plan to move forward, they rushed out from the mouth of the gourd.
The black pressure array is paved into a line of tide.
Four Thousand Dragon Elephant Army.
Eight thousand Dong Zhuojun.
