Chapter 255
"Old slave Wang Chengen, I have seen the chief soldier." As a person close to Zhu Youzhen, Wang Chengen can already walk sideways in the capital. However, in front of Li Xiao, Wang Chengen still had to hold his tail.
The Liaodong Army can fight, and it is so close to the capital.
Especially when he arrived at Shanhaiguan, Wang Chengen saw a group of soldiers disembarking. Every day, a large force of cavalry entered the Shanhaiguan Pass, and then looked at the cannons that two oxen could pull. The muzzle of the cannon is thick, and Wang Chengen feels that it is not a problem to put himself in.
The walls of the capital are thick enough, but it is really two to say whether they can withstand the fight.
"Recently, military affairs have been busy, and you also know that the Japanese invaded Shandong. Li was ordered to go to Shandong to quell the chaos this time, but he really couldn't get away. This time I returned to Shanhaiguan because I had to transfer ordnance, grain and grass. Today, I happened to test the ordnance, and I specially invited my father-in-law to come and have a look. Li Xiao stood up very politely and saluted Wang Chengen.
"Lord Li is serious, my brother often praises Lord Li for being the only humerus in the country, and now it seems that what my brother said is true." Li Xiao was polite, Wang Chengen was even more polite, and directly came to a ninety-degree bow.
Li Xiao's nose was almost crooked, this is fucking etiquette only used at the memorial service.
"Dare to ask the prince's brother who ......!" Mao Wenlong asked naturally.
"My brother is the master of ceremonies, the eunuch Wang Tiqian."
"Oh ......!" Li Xiao made a sudden realization, it turned out to be like this. No wonder Wang Tiqian, the second or fifth boy, had a good eunuch who was not in charge of the palm seal, but he had to cooperate with Zhu Youzhen to carry out a coup d'état. It turns out that the root of the rebellion is here!
"The prince has a lot of support for Li, and in this case, he is not an outsider. Father-in-law, please take a seat and see how our Liao army is doing. Li Xiao made a gesture of please and invited Wang Chengen to go to the first seat. Wang Chengen couldn't refuse, so he could only sit in his seat.
Wang Chengen is in a good seat, Li Xiao did not start, but seemed to be waiting for someone.
Wang Chengen was also inconvenient to ask, so he could only chat with Mao Wenlong, who was enthusiastic next to him.
Li Xiao took out his Huaibian and looked at the time, there were still ten minutes before the start.
"Brother, I miss my brother." The person did not arrive before the voice came.
Wang Chengen stood up and looked outside. I don't know who this guy who can call Li Xiao a brother and sister!
Inside the city gate, Pegasus galloped out a team of brocade guards, one by one flying fish suits embroidered spring knives, passing through the city gate without slowing down, frightening the people in the distance to dodge. The sound of horses' hooves sounded like tigers and horses, and the arrogance came from a mile away.
"Lord Mao, this is ......!" Wang Chengen's heart tightened, how could there be a brocade guard here, and he was still familiar with Li Xiao. You must know that since the second year of the weather, Jinyiwei has been under the control of Wei Zhongxian. I heard that Li Xiao was Wei Zhongxian's party, but Wang Tiqian said no. Now that he sees Jinyiwei, Wang Chengen seems to be beating a drum in his heart.
This is Li Xiao's territory, if you find an opportunity to hack yourself, it is estimated that you will not be able to find the corpse capital.
"Oh, this is Lord Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyi Guard. I have known Brother Xiao for an old acquaintance, and this time I was sent to Shanhaiguan by the age of 9,000. Just arrived yesterday! Mao Wenlong explained to Wang Chengen with a smile.
"Uh......! I see, I see! Wang Chengen had an embarrassed smile on his face, and wanted to cover up his embarrassment by serving tea. The trembling hand holds the teacup so that the lid and the teacup collide to make a louder sound. What letter can Xu Xianchun send to Li Xiao at this time? It must be the message of transferring Li Xiao to Beijing!
If Li Xiao wants to show his loyalty, he will hand himself over to Jinyiwei. Xu Xianchun is famous for his murder, and Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou were all killed by him. If he falls into his hands, then what the hell can he do?
"Is the prince unwell?" Mao Wenlong asked with the most kind smile and great concern.
"Tired journey, tired journey!" Wang Chengen put down the teacup in embarrassment, the tea spilled out, and his fingers hurt his heart.
"Brother, I miss my brother. How about in Shandong, I heard that you broke the Japanese army and beheaded more than 3,000. Sure enough, it is a tiger general, and the nine-thousand-year-old sent his brother to come, and there is a ......! Xu Xianchun turned over and jumped off the war horse, and walked in front of Li Xiao while holding his fists. 's enthusiastic words all show that he is Li Xiao's iron buddy.
"Lord Xu, the words of nine thousand years old will be passed on later. If you're going to drill firearms here, you should take a seat. Li Xiao's sentence to Lord Xu made Xu Xianchun stunned. Following Li Xiao's hand, Xu Xianchun saw a eunuch dressed in a five-grade costume.
There are actually not many eunuchs in the capital, because most eunuchs can only be called chamberlains. Eunuchs are the senior leaders among the eunuchs, and generally only the leaders of the twenty-four eunuchs can be called eunuchs. In the capital of Nuoda, there are many eunuchs. But those who really dare to be called eunuchs are only a few dozen people.
This eunuch was dressed in a five-grade eunuch costume, but his face was very raw. Xu Xianchun searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, but he didn't figure out which eunuch this was. He forgot, except for the head of the twenty-four prisons. The head of the prince's palace can also be a five-rank eunuch.
"This father-in-law is ......!" Xu Xianchun looked at Li Xiao suspiciously.
"Oh, this father-in-law is the King of Faith, uh...... Wang Chengen, the head of the palace in the palace, is the prince of the prince. I came to work on a business trip by the order of King Xin, Brother Xu, please! ”
Now that Zhu Youzhen has not yet ascended the throne, according to the etiquette system, Li Xiao cannot call him His Majesty or long live. Brother Xu brought Xu Xianchun's relationship closer. Xu Xianchun was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Xiao, and then at Wang Chengen. didn't even bother to say hello, and sat straight next to Wang Chengen, which was a bit of a fight in the ring.
Li Xiao smiled knowingly, just pinch it, I'm afraid that you won't pinch it.
"Your Excellency, you're all set." Zu Dashou walked over and saluted Li Xiao.
"Let's get started! Scare these leopards! Li Xiao nodded at Zu Dashou, and then also went to the high platform. Modestly sat down!
"The drill begins!" Zu Dashou held a small red flag in his hand, and roared loudly with a broken gong.
Seeing the red flag in Zu Dashou's hand falling, the gunners who were a mile away began to load. This time, the thing to be tested is more special, in fact, it is a huge iron cylinder with a propellant in it. Then stuffed a bag of explosives outside, Li Xiao knew that this thing also had a popular name, called a conscienceless cannon.
It's so big that the explosives pack can be ejected. But the distance is very close, only about one or two hundred meters. When it comes to the battlefield, Li Xiao's mortar can abuse this thing into scum. But today is acting, this thing is full of medicine and power, and it is most suitable for demonstrating to others.
As the red flag in Zu Dashou's hand fell, the soldiers immediately lit the firing twist. Then they were beaten like dogs, and the twist burned so fast that they only had a short time to escape.
After running for more than 20 meters, he turned over and got into a deep trench. There are cat ear holes inside, and I open my mouth with my hands on my ears, waiting for the earth-shattering noise. This thing doesn't have a fucking score, and if you can't get it, you might blow it up.
"Bang!" The sound was not too loud, and a puff of smoke came out of the tin bucket. A huge explosive package was ejected, so slow that it could be seen clearly with the naked eye.
Sure enough, the distance of the projectile was not far. It's only about a hundred meters!
"Boom!" The sound of the explosion was so loud that the naked eye could see the impact of the explosion moving around quickly. A huge fireball rose from the center of the explosion, and the bright light that suddenly shook people's eyes. It was as if between heaven and earth, a second sun was born in an instant.
When he saw the flash, Li Xiao opened his mouth slightly. The earbuds are already plugged in the ears, and it shouldn't be too uncomfortable to open your mouth for a while now.
The distance was a bit far, and it was several seconds after the flash of light before a thunderous explosion was heard.
Xu Xianchun and Wang Chengen, who had no experience, were shocked to the point of instant tinnitus, and then a strong wind rushed towards them. had already prepared the guards, and immediately stood up in front of Li Xiao. Xu Xianchun and Wang Chengen didn't have this treatment, and they were disgraced one by one.
The dust passed, and the scene fell silent for a moment. Xu Xianchun desperately plucked his ears and wiped his face, and Wang Chengen coughed violently.
Very good, Li Xiao is very satisfied with this result. The power of the explosion was not so great, and it was impossible for the impact to break more than 1,000 meters. You can put the table on the downwind outlet to achieve this effect. Sure enough, the October winds in the northeast brought all the dust from the explosion. Some of them show the power of the impact break!
"Oops! It's Li's fault, I didn't expect this thing to be so powerful. Lord Xu, Wang Gonggong, let's go back to Shanhaiguan City. Let's take a break! Li Xiao clenched his fists and apologized vigorously.
"What do you say?" Xu Xianchun roared loudly, he saw Li Xiao's mouth moving, but the buzzing in his ears made him unable to hear what Li Xiao was talking about. On one side, Wang Chengen was still coughing violently, and it was estimated that he would not get better for a while.
Li Xiao didn't talk nonsense, and with a wave of his hand, someone sent the two guys away, and sent them to Mao Wenlong's Governor's Mansion and the post house. Wang Chengen is in front of Xu Xianchun, that is a pure vulnerable group. If Xu Xianchun is hacked, then Li Xiaoke will have no place to benefit.
The two guys were sent away, and the play was over.
"Do you think these two guys can be fooled?" Mao Wenlong pulled out the earbuds and looked at the backs of the two leaving.
"Now they are begging us, don't let the two of them pinch each other, how can we mix the benefits. There is competition, and we will benefit. Li Xiao looked at the two people who left, and today's play was very successful. It is to let them know that they have the ability to destroy the walls of the capital. If it weren't for the secrecy and the fact that it was too expensive, Li Xiao even wanted to pull out the arsenal ship and let the two turtles palm their eyes.
After slapping the dust on his body, Li Xiao got off the stage and walked back like a child.
"Little fox!" Mao Wenlong looked at Li Xiao's back and muttered hatefully.
