Volume 1 The Return of the Old Man Chapter 109 The Crossbow in Question
With a smile on his face, he patted Helian Wenyuan's shoulder, and said affectionately: "Brother Helian, where are you going when you get out of the fifth beacon." ”
Helian Wenyuan said simply: "Gongzi said that he was going to Mohe Yanqi." ”
Master Kang was so overjoyed that he was about to grab Helian Wenyuan's hand: "Brother Helian, I'm also going to Moheyan, why don't we go together." ”
Helian Wenyuan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "This, I can't be the master, Master Kang has to discuss with Gongzi." ”
Helian Wenyuan didn't refuse, which showed that there was still room for maneuver in this matter, Master Kang smiled happily and nodded again and again: "Exactly, exactly, such a big matter must be discussed with that Han Gongzi." ”
When it came to Han Changdui, Master Kang felt inexplicably a little afraid.
That physiognomy is not a good stubble at first glance.
Master Kang was in the wine shop, close to Helian Wenyuan, and Han Changwan and his party were not idle, discussing the next journey in the fort.
The map is a secret thing in the army, even if life and death have been trusted, it is impossible for Xu Xiangli to hand over Mo He Yanmo's map to Han Changdu.
But when he heard that Han Changwan and his party were going to enter Mohe Yanmo, after thinking about it again and again, he still took a narrow box out and pushed it to Han Changdu's hand: "Brother Han, I can't forget your great kindness, here I entered Mohe Yanmoi a few times and drew it with my memory." He coughed lightly, lowered his voice and said: "This map is more detailed than that in the army, but it is not a thing in the army, it is my private collection, and naturally there is no record, and I also ask Brother Han to keep it well, don't lose it and fall into the hands of the enemy." ”
This is exactly what Han Changdui urgently needs, before leaving, he also read many classics, searched in the military department for several days, about the maps in Mohe Yanmoi, are all few, most of the records are vague and ambiguous.
He took the box, took out the map inside, unfolded a corner and looked at it carefully, and immediately smiled gratefully: "Xu Shuguan has a heart, this thing is what I need most now, thank you Xu Shuguan." ”
Xu Xiangli held Han Changdu's hand and smiled loudly: "These are all trivial matters, not as good as Brother Han's great kindness." ”
Xu Xiangli's gaze was slightly deep, in fact, he was already suspicious of Han Changdu's identity.
As a long history in the palace, his kung fu is not weak, and his mind is thorough, which is reasonable, and it is acceptable to make good use of the art of war, but what doesn't make sense is why he came all the way from Jiannan Road here, and he just wanted to enter Mohe Yanqi at this time when the time and place were not suitable.
At this time, Mo Heyan was dangerous and abnormal, the situation was changing strangely, and if he was not careful, he would die without a whole body.
Xu Xiangli was even more suspicious that Han Changdui had been inquiring about the entry and exit of the fort for several months before proposing to enter Mohe Yanmoi.
Openly and secretly, they were all asking if there had been any major baggage teams in and out of the Fifth Beacon in those months.
He thought of the shocking news a few months ago, that the baggage team that was transporting military pay and changing defense maps had disappeared inexplicably.
No one is alive, no one is dead, no corpse is seen.
The imperial court will never ignore this matter, whether it is an overt investigation or an unannounced visit, it will be investigated.
He pursed his dry lips, raised his eyes to look at Han Changdui, and felt that the person in front of him seemed to be shrouded in a heavy fog, so that he could not see clearly, he tentatively said: "Brother Han, why do you have to enter Mohe Yanmoi at this time, in this season, Mohe Yanmoi is very dangerous." ”
Han Changwan raised his lips and smiled: "There are always many things that you can't help yourself, and people don't have time to take care of the word danger." ”
He knew in his heart that Xu Xiangli was already suspicious of him, which was also reasonable, his actions in the past few days were far beyond the actions of a prince's governor, and normal people would be suspicious of him.
What's more, Xu Xiangli used to be an excellent fine worker, and now he is an excellent military officer.
Xu Xiangli understood the meaning of Han Changdu's words, some things, said too clearly, it is not good for himself or others, the more you know, the faster you will die.
He sighed, his expression was sincere: "It's normal for people to be in the temple, and it's normal to be involuntarily, no matter what difficulties Brother Han has in the future, you can come to me, and I will definitely do my best to help." ”
Han Changdui nodded thoughtfully: "What Xu Shuguan said, I understand, if he needs Xu Shuguan's help in the future, I will definitely come to disturb him." ”
Yao Qi and the others, who were sitting next to them, all lowered their heads and remained silent, becoming transparent people.
Yao was silent.
This kind of verbal confrontation is tempting, and it is better to avoid it, so as not to be injured by mistake.
After saying this, Xu Xiangli will pay attention to the things that need to be paid attention to when entering Mohe Yanmo, and the oases and dangerous places along the way will be explained in detail one by one.
Yao Qi and the others silently kept these in their hearts, these are life-saving things after entering Mohe Yanmoraine, and if you remember a little more, you will have one more way to live.
Xu Xiangli reviewed it and felt that there was nothing missing, so he said in a deep voice: "Grain, grass, water and salt, you need to prepare more, I ordered two garrisons to work together to help you take care of the outfits you need to enter Mohe Yanmoi, and then, I will send two more heralds who have entered Moheyan Moraine many times to join you," Seeing Han Changdui's expression of refusal, he paused for a moment and persuaded bitterly: "Brother Han, don't be in a hurry to refuse, I know that you have brought a guide, but the guide of the horse merchant is not as good as the herald in the army, this point." , Brother Han should understand. ”
Han Changdui was silent, thought about it for a while, and accepted Xu Xiangli's kindness with a smile: "Since this is the case, I won't be hypocritical, thank you Xu Shuguan, we will repair for a day today and set off early tomorrow morning." ”
Xu Xiangli nodded, and carefully admonished him, even he felt like a broken mouth.
Several people left the fort and returned to the liquor store, preparing to enter the Mohe Yan moraine.
Yao Ji leaned under the lamp, and seized the time to sew the drawn crossbow diagram into the middle coat, although her needlework is not good, but the flying needle is very neat, and the speed is extremely fast.
After two stitches, she lifted her chin and motioned for Han Changwan to stand up, carrying the middle coat that was still missing two sleeves, and gesturing at him.
Her gaze fell on his hands, the fingers were slender, the bones were distinct, and the hands were covered with thin calluses, which were the hands of a person who had practiced martial arts for many years.
She raised her eyebrows, these hands, I don't know how many people have been killed.
She was looking at Han Changdu's hand, and Han Changdui was also looking at her.
He saw that Yao Qi's hair was a little rough and the tips of her hair were slightly yellow, and he saw that her finger bones were slender and slender, but her hands were covered with thin calluses, and she was a pair of hands that had been practicing martial arts all year round.
He also raised his eyebrows, with such a pair of hands, the lives of people in their hands must be indispensable.
pursed his lips, and suddenly said in a loud voice: "Childe, those crossbows brought by the Turks were all destroyed by you." ”
Han Changwan smiled faintly: "I'm alone, I don't have such great ability, it's the person brought by Chen Shuguan who took advantage of the chaos to destroy the crossbow." ”
Yao Qi stitched a few more stitches, but she didn't know what she thought, and after a pause in the needlework, she condensed and whispered: "Childe, I want to go and see those crossbows." ”
Han Changwan raised his eyebrows: "What, is there anything wrong with the crossbow?" ”
Yao Ji smiled half-truthfully: "I want to see what the crossbow looks like in the car, which is worth a year of rouge, gouache, clothes, hairpins, and silver in the saint's harem." ”
Han Changwei felt that Yao Ji was very interesting like this, and he laughed: "Then, let's go." ”
The crossbows were placed in the shed next to the stables, and yesterday's heavy rain only drenched the edges of the sheds, and did not wet the crossbows, and even the ground did not accumulate much water, and they all quickly seeped into the depths of the dry ground.
Han Changdui and Yao Ji surrounded the crossbow and looked around carefully, but they didn't find anything wrong, and the workmanship was fine and complicated, and it looked really valuable.
Han Changdui frowned when he looked at it, and muttered to himself, "These crossbows look like they're new." ”
Yao Qi stretched out his hand and touched the crossbow, nodded and said, "It's indeed new, you see how fine this polished is, and the paint doesn't have the slightest trace of peeling." ”
Han Changdu's eyebrows frowned: "Such a new crossbow, even if the bowstring is destroyed, it can be intact after a little repair, why should it be discarded." ”
Yao Qi was also puzzled: "Even if the Turks escape in a panic, they will not throw away such an important thing, after all, our combat strength was not very strong at that time, and if the Turks desperately protected the crossbow, we would not be able to stop it." ”
Han Changdu's eyebrows jumped, and he turned around and found suitable tools and objects, and began to repair the crossbow little by little.
Although Yao Qi had learned to make a crossbow in the Beiya Forbidden Army, she had not actually operated it, she looked at Han Changdu's skillful technique, and she was surprised: "Childe, have you ever made a crossbow before, then what other map do you need." ”
Han Changdui said lightly: "I haven't made a crossbow for a car, I've made furniture." ”
"......" Yao was speechless.
Well, it's all carpentry, it's a peer.
The two of them were silent, one repaired the crossbow with a stuffy head, and the other watched others repair the crossbow with a stuffy head, and time flew by.
Half an hour later, Han Changdui breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, it's repaired." ”
Yao Qi was even more strange: "It's repaired so easily, why don't the Turks want it." ”
Han Changwan shook his head: "It's a pity that the crossbow arrows have been destroyed, so I can't test the power." ”
Yao Qi smiled: "The most important thing now is to prepare things, enter Mohe Yanmoi, the matter of the crossbow, when we come out of Moheyanmorain, we can investigate it in detail." ”
Han Changdui made a rare joke: "Also, the crossbow worth a year's rouge gouache hairpin ring clothes in the saint's harem, how can it be so easy to build, we have the opportunity to see more and check more." ”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and they felt that the tacit understanding had suddenly increased.
Han Changwan thought about it, but still took Yao Qi into the fort, and told Xu Xiangli about his suspicions about the crossbow: "Officer Xu, I can't judge that there must be something wrong with this crossbow now, I have to check it more, and when I come out of Mohe Yanmo, I still want to see this thing again, so please ask Xu Shuguan to be accommodating, and don't send this thing back to the army for the time being." ”
