Chapter 119 The Immortal is not enough to prove the preciousness of gunpowder
"That's the case, find out the reason, you can come up with countermeasures, no matter how terrible what you know, it is limited, and even if it is not terrible, ignorant things will be magnified by our fear many times."
Li Ji stood on the Xianyang Bridge where all the railings were blown up with his hands behind his back, and a lock of white hair was pulled out by the wind, which matched the scene of corpses everywhere very well.
"Just now, I smelled a familiar smell, especially on these damaged stakes.
If the cause of death of all the people here is related to this smell, we have the first clue that can be traced. ”
Li Ji lowered his head and sniffed the broken wooden stake, his expression was also stunned for a moment, and he also knocked on his head and said, "This smell seems to be a little familiar to the old man." ”
Yun Chu said with a smile: "Ying Gong, this smell is the smell produced after the medicine puppet gets angry, it is almost exactly the same. ”
Li Ji gasped and said, "Are you saying that this is the medicine puppet that caused such a big tragedy?" ”
Yun Chu frowned and said, "Just catch the people in the city who are good at medicine puppets and ask them about it." ”
Li Ji smiled: "You just sent someone to ask the juggler for medicine for the puppet?" ”
Yun Chu nodded and said, "That's right." ”
Li Ji kicked the head of Zanxiruo who rolled down to his feet again, and watched the head rolling down from the highest point of Xianyang Bridge in a jump, and said to Yun Chu: "Let's go, let's go and listen, what the people who saw this battle have to say." ”
After getting off the bloody Xianyang Bridge, the two rubbed on the sand for a long time before they cleaned the blood stains on the soles of their shoes.
Then, when he looked up again, Yun Chu saw a gentleness that was obviously frightened.
Without waiting for Li Jidong to ask, Wen Wen hurriedly saluted: "The humble position is very chaotic now, just now when I was calm, I wrote down the whole process, and asked Yinggong to take a look." ”
Li Ji still appreciates the gentle behavior, after all, when people have the wrong memory, they can record what they saw and heard just now at the first time, which is worthy of the style of the imperial history family.
Li Ji buried his head in the record, Yun Chu and the two gentle, you look at me, and I look at you and you are speechless to each other.
One is the planner and the other is the executor, if Li Ji has the ability to see through people's hearts at this time, as long as he gives an order to take down these two people, this case that countless people can't sleep at night will be solved immediately.
Yun Chu arched his hand and said, "Ah gentle brother, frightened." ”
Gently bowed his hand and saluted: "Ah, thank you Brother Yun for your care, although the little brother was frightened, he saw the rarest scene in the world, and it is unforgettable in this life." ”
Just as the two of them were about to continue their nonsense, Li Ji's hands trembled when he saw the gentle record.
"You say, this thing has the power to destroy the world?"
Seeing Li Ji's question, he said gently: "Because I sent my friends to Qiuzi yesterday, I stayed at this Xianyang Bridge when I felt the cold, and when I opened the window to see the scenery as soon as possible, I didn't expect to see a robbery that is difficult to find in the world.
When the first thunder sounded, the humble first saw a fire, and then saw the scene of the Tubo soldiers and horses being shattered, and then every thunder sounded, the Tubo people and horses staggered, and after a while, the corpses were all over the field. ”
Li Ji slowly had a smile on his face, and asked again: "Are you saying that this group of Tuyuhun people launched an attack after the thunder and explosion, and when the Tubo people and horses suffered heavy damage?" ”
Gentle nodded again and again: "That's true, at that time, even if there were a few Tubo warriors who could still stand up, their ears were bleeding, and they couldn't stand steadily, and they were killed by those Tuyuhun people who cut melons and vegetables. ”
After listening to the gentle explanation, Li Ji let out a long breath and said to Yun Chu: "It's not the power of heaven and earth, it's a new weapon that we haven't discovered, this weapon should be manipulated by people, maybe it's like a medicine puppet, it also needs a fire source to ignite."
Come on, check the bottom of the Xianyang Bridge, whether there are traces of flames. ”
When he got here, Yun Chu really admired Li Ji, this guy could actually judge so many things from some clues that were not sticky.
It seems that in the future, in front of this old guy, you must talk less and do less, the more you talk, the more flaws, the more things you do, the more handles.
There was no accident at all, and the guards not only found the traces of fire left by the burning of the gunpowder twist under the bridge, but also found the position of the column head where Yun Chu placed the gunpowder from these black traces.
The smile on Li Ji's face became more and more, he stood by the Wei River with his hands behind his back, and said to the guards: "Search along the river, don't let go of any clues." ”
After the order was completed, he said to Yun Chu: "This group of people is fast, if the old man is not mistaken, they will land five miles away from Xianyang Bridge, and then prepare to flee quickly." ”
Yun Chu looked at the endless river and said: "Three hours have passed, if you don't care about horsepower, it is at least a hundred miles away at this time."
Even if we send a fast horse to summon the message now, we can't chase it. ”
Li Ji looked at Yun Chu and said, "The old man thought that these people did not flee far away, but sneaked back to Chang'an.
What do you think? ”
Yun Chu thought for a moment and said, "It's dark under the light, there is such a possibility." ”
Li Ji looked back at Chang'an City looming on the horizon, frowned, and said, "If that's the case, it's going to be a big trouble." ”
Gently puzzled: "If these people dare to hide in Chang'an, as long as we close the gate of Chang'an, Chang'an, Wannian County, according to the household registration, as long as the officials are attentive, they can naturally find out the clues."
Also, they are a team of 100 people, and the so-called secrets that more than three people know cannot be secrets, so as long as we raise the reward, it has been a wealth since ancient times, and it is not difficult to fish out a few greedy people.
Even if they can't fish out these people, they think that they can all put themselves in danger, become suspicious of each other, and eventually collapse themselves. ”
Li Ji looked at Gentleness with appreciative eyes and said, "Very good, this matter is up to you to arrange, see if you can really catch these man-eating fish." ”
Gentle and pleasant command.
Yun Chu also felt that Li Ji's arrangement was really good.
In either respect, gentleness is a hero among people and deserves to be used, which is not surprising.
Just when everyone was summarizing the survey and harvest, two cavalrymen came panting, one was the personal guard who was sent back to Chang'an by Yun Chu, and the other horse sat an old man with a goatee.
The old man was about to be torn apart by the war horse, and when he looked closely, he realized that he was brought by being tied to a horse.
Without waiting for the old man to rest, Yun Chu asked his soldiers to help the old man go to the bridge to smell the smell and see if the smell emanating from those wooden stakes was the smell of puppet medicine.
Who knew that the old man had just gone up to the bridge, and when he saw the stumps and broken arms everywhere and the heads of people rolling all over the ground, he was scared and fainted.
A bucket of ice water was poured on his head, and the little old man came to his senses, came over, supported himself with supreme perseverance and did not faint, and after sniffing the wooden stakes vigorously, he roared hoarsely: "Puppet medicine, that is, the smell of puppet medicine, without iron powder, lead powder, tin powder, copper powder after burning." ”
Listening to the little old man's shout, Li Jichang breathed a sigh of relief, and even Yun Chu felt that the future was bright.
Li Ji said to Yun Chu: "Since I found this thing made by puppet medicine, after I go back, I will order the masters to study it day and night, and things in this world are always one law and one hundred laws, as long as we master this thing."
Then, this matter is beneficial and harmless to my Datang, hahaha, if you die a praise, it is really worth it for Datang to get such an amazing killing weapon...... Hahaha. ”
The guards who pursued all the way down Weishui reported that there had been hundreds of fast horses that had stayed for a long time in the land of five miles downstream, but Li Ji was already indifferent to this news.
He didn't come to solve the case in the first place, if Datang has been reduced to the point where he needs to solve the case, what do you want the state government yamen to do, what do you want Dali Temple to do, so Li Ji is here to find the answer.
Now that the answer is already available, he can naturally go back to explain to Li Zhi, and at the same time let Li Zhi feel at ease.
The assault of the thieves on the Xianyang Bridge has countless conditions, and it is not possible to launch such an attack anytime and anywhere.
In this way, the emperor did not have to take the giant bear with him everywhere, nor did he have to change three or four quarters of his residence in a night.
This time, Li Ji was going to focus on telling the emperor about the bright future of the puppet medicine and its significance in actual combat.
In any case, it is necessary for the emperor to regard the research and development of puppet medicine as the top priority in Datang's country.
He didn't want to be leading an army to fight the enemy, when suddenly a series of loud noises came out, completely turning a battle that he had won completely turned around.
He even wanted to tell the emperor that if this group of thieves was willing to take the initiative to offer the formula of the puppet medicine, the emperor could make an order not to blame the past, and the marquis was not negotiable.
Listening to Li Ji's advice along the way, Yun Chu would not take the initiative to dedicate the gunpowder formula to the emperor when he was killed.
Who is he Li Ji, and who is Li Zhi?
A habitual son-in-law's head is sacrificed to the flag, and the other kills his own brother like chopping melons and vegetables.
To talk about friendship with these two people is to fear that you will die too late.
Not to mention the reward, let alone the marquis, as long as the formula is sent, Li Zhi will definitely fulfill his promise, the reward given must be unprecedentedly rich, and the title given must be unprecedentedly rich.
Because Li Zhi always boasts that he is the most sincere gentleman emperor in the world, there is no problem in doing what he says.
The problem is that if you get a reward, after you get the knighthood, you are likely to be exterminated by the Nine Clans because of the crime of entering the main hall with your left foot or entering the main hall with your right foot.
When the time comes, Li Ji will not say a word of intercession for you, because, in Li Ji's view, gunpowder belongs to the important weapon of the country, how can it be held in the hands of a private person!
Therefore, it is still the master laborers, let's study it slowly, and if it is studied one day, it will not be too late to use it one day.
