Chapter 8 There is nothing more painful in the world than thinking too much
"Why is this so?"
Li Ji was taken aback by the number Yun Chu said.
"There is no way, when the time comes, heaven and earth will work together, and the heroes will not be free. Fei Jiu casually selected two eyes and ears from Xu Jingye, when Xu Jingye's soldiers were strong and strong, their spies were terrified, and later because they had been mixing with the people in the team for a long time, they had one or two more companions.
With Xu Jingye in Tuyuhun when there was nothing to grab, the team was not so united, and the relatives sent by the British Gong lost too much when Xu Jingye began to break through, and the two eyes and ears arranged by Fei Jiu were often able to get some compensation from Zhang Cambodia, and their lives were rich, and they slowly had some followers.
Xu Jingye had nothing to do, so he had to reuse these people who could get supplies, and in addition, my requirements for these people were "only dormant, useless, waiting for the key, and seeing miraculous results", so they seemed to be more loyal than those people that Xu Jingye trusted before, so the other generals and guards around Xu Jingye were also replaced by them.
I recently got the news that they have taken control of the team of more than 2,000 people left, and eighty-six of them have quietly infiltrated the Tang Dynasty with Xu Jingye, and now, disguised as a caravan from the Western Regions, is heading to Chang'an.
In another twenty days, it will be time to walk out of Xiaoguan Road. ”
Li Jidao: "Are you going to kill Xu Jingye?" ”
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "When I was in Ganzhou, I did have murderous intentions for him, and after he jumped off the cliff and escaped, I extinguished my intention to kill him, mainly because I felt that killing him was too unfair to Ying Gong." ”
Li Ji lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said, "The reason why you handed over all these people to the old man is because you found that the part of the people who were not impregnated by you were all sent by the old man, right?" ”
Yun Chu nodded and said; The spies said that the current Xu Jingye's men have split into two obvious camps, and they have tried to win over those people, but as a result, nothing has been found.
However, it's very interesting, there are still some people who are not in touch with each other among you and me, their will is also unwavering, and they once thought that these were some people who were really loyal to Xu Jingye, but as a result, Zhang Khan Zhi thought that it was not, these people did not belong to the Hundred Cavalry Division, they must be the queen's people.
This time, it was those who didn't rely on the two who took Xu Jingye into the Tang Dynasty, so I thought that Xu Jingye had secretly taken refuge in the queen. ”
"Why not Your Majesty?"
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is not so obscene, he has been very bold when he has been doing things in the past few years. ”
Li Jichang sighed and said: "After more than ten years of hard work, Xu Jingye has not even encircled even one person who belongs to him......"
Yun Chu said: "This is actually our fault, we shouldn't have planted people around him, causing him to think that everyone is loyal and willing to follow him." ”
Li Ji looked up at the sky sadly, and said slowly after a while: "At the beginning, the old man should have been ruthless and set fire more when hunting, otherwise, where would he be ashamed of today." ”
Yun Chu Dao; "He was frightened by the Tubo Qinling, when the wind was smooth, he was invincible, and when he encountered a little obstacle, he had no enterprising spirit, this kind of person who is difficult to defeat himself, and has no determination to defeat and fight, is destined to not be on the stage."
Li Ji quickly calmed down and said to Yun Chu: "He has betrayed the old man and joined the queen's door, the old man wants to know now, the old man is a dying person, what is she afraid of, not to mention that the old man is kind to the queen." ”
Yun Chu said: "The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, the colorful tiger is still alive although it is dead, a character like Yinggong, even if he is old, who dares to underestimate it." ”
Li Ji nodded and said, "You're right, give all those you don't look down on to the old man." ”
"Does Li Chengxiu know about this?"
"I only found out last night, and I am currently following Li Si and them in the carriage, and I heard that they haven't said a word for a day."
Li Ji stopped the footsteps of the war horse and said to Yun Chu: "The old man wants to tell him the other half of Xu Jingye's story......
Yun Chu smiled slightly, threw out a bronze token casually, was grabbed by Li Jitan's hand, glanced at it, and put it in his arms.
The army is advancing unhurriedly on the field, I have to say that the environment of the Tang Dynasty is really good, the white clouds on the green carpet-like plain are low, and some hills in the distance are undulating like giant whales on the sea.
Some of the villages sit on this huge green blanket, and the smoke curls up and is pressed down by the wind, slowly enveloping the whole village, which is really beautiful.
Because the army came, the people naturally ran away long ago, and only a few brave people stood on the undulating hills, peering at the huge team like marmots standing up.
As soon as the flag-carrying rangers rushed over, the shrunken heads disappeared.
Li Zhi also saw this scene, so he said to Wu Mei: "I am their emperor." ”
Wu Mei said: "They are afraid of the army. ”
Li Zhi sighed and said: "It can be seen that soldiers are the source of disaster in their eyes. ”
Wu Mei said: "The concubine heard that when Liu Bei left Xinye, the people helped the old and the young to follow closely, and the soldiers and horses under his command were strictly disciplined, and the autumn did not commit any crimes, why couldn't the Tang army do it?" ”
Li Zhi pondered for a moment and said: "When the soldiers left the homeland, they became a group of people who made a living from military exploits, and everyone hoped for a good harvest, just like a farmer, who was in a hurry to cut the wheat, so he cut the grain and the wild grass together. ”
Wu Mei said: "Why does Your Majesty have to go to see the East China Sea?" ”
Li Zhi said: "I just want to see the sea." ”
Wu Mei said: "Don't have the intention of seeking immortals to visit the Tao? ”
Li Zhi pondered for a long time and said, "Just take a look." ”
Wu Mei immediately said to Mama Chun: "Go and ask Master Xuanzang to come over and talk to Your Majesty." ”
Mama Chun got out of Luan, rode in a light two-wheeled carriage, and went to the rear of the procession.
When she saw Yun Chu when she passed by the rear army's forward, her heart jumped involuntarily, and she wanted to lower her head to avoid it, but she couldn't avoid it, so she had to pretend to be a mud bodhisattva with a red face.
Gently pushed Yun Chu with his hand and said, "Ah Chun has come to see you." ”
Yun Chu looked at Mama Chun, whose ears were red, and said naturally: "What is the matter with the people of the Spring Palace coming to the army?" ”
The groom who was driving the carriage stopped the carriage, and Mama Chun looked up at Yun Chu and said, "I was ordered to ask Master Xuanzang to teach the Fa for Your Majesty." ”
Yun Chu said with a smile: "Last time the Menggong people gave beef jerky, Yun had nothing to reciprocate, so he could only give the palace people a self-defense crossbow, I hope the palace people will not dislike it." ”
As he spoke, he took the horse bag; He took out a small cloth bag and handed it to Mama Chun in the carriage.
When Mama Chun took the short crossbow, she arched her hand at will, and chased after Gentle.
Mama Chun opened the cloth bag and found that it was actually an oiled paper bag that was not much bigger than a palm, and then opened the oiled paper bag, and saw a small crossbow like a child's toy, this crossbow was made of steel, and even the crossbow string was woven from thin steel wire.
For hand crossbows, Mama Chun is no stranger, there are three from large to small in her bedroom, the largest one is a military standard long crossbow, and the smallest one is also a small hand crossbow, but the steel hand crossbow that Yun Chu gave her looks blue as a whole, looks more delicate, and more sharp.
There were only three crossbow arrows in the oil-paper bag, no more than nine inches long, I don't know what material they were made of, lighter than steel, and heavier than ordinary crossbow arrows.
Three shots in one crossbow, which should be used urgently for self-defense in case of danger.
So, Mama Chun studied this crossbow all the way, and did not put down the small crossbow in her hand until she returned to Emperor Luan with Master Xuanzang.
Not long after Master Xuanzang entered, the queen walked out, and the first time she saw Mama Chun, she found that her sleeves were bulging again.
Thinking that this stupid guy would meet Yun Chu, he thought that Yun Chu had given Mama Chun some more food, so he was angry and put his hand into Mama Chun's sleeve, and then pulled out a delicate hand crossbow.
"Where's the crossbow arrow?" Wu Mei said.
Mama Chun carefully took out three crossbow arrows from under the seat cushion of the carriage and handed them to Wu Mei.
Wu Mei just glanced at it, and skillfully pulled the crossbow strings, and after the three crossbow strings were ready, she loaded the three crossbow arrows in turn, and grabbed the steel crossbow with one hand and aimed around.
Finally, order a shield-bearer to stick the protective shield into the ground and use it as a target for her shooting.
"Dodo", the three crossbow arrows landed accurately on the giant shield, Wu Mei walked over to take a look, and found that the steel crossbow was more than half an inch into the shield.
Then he used his long nails to play with the steel crossbow arm and said, "This is a sharp weapon that takes people's lives." ”
Mama Chun immediately said: "I met the county prince of Lantian, and he rewarded the slave maid." ”
Wu Mei sneered and said, "People gave it to this palace, but they just used your hands." ”
Although Mama Chun was reluctant, she still said with a smile on her face: "I see, the slave maid just thought that he had nothing to do, and there must be something embarrassing that the slave maid wanted to tell the queen." ”
Wu Mei pinched Mama Chun's face and said, "My heart hurts, right?" ”
Mama Chun resolutely shook her head in denial.
Wu Mei weighed the steel crossbow and said: "I can know that you are the one who can hold the crossbow here in the palace, it seems that Yun Chu knows a lot about the things in the palace." ”
Mama Chun immediately said, "The slave maid never said it. ”
Wu Mei said: "I know it's not you." ”
"So, who could it be?"
Wu Mei sighed and said: "Naturally, it is your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, with him, this palace has no secrets to Yun Chu." ”
Mama Chun suddenly realized, and immediately said: "Don't let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know too much in the future, how can he talk nonsense?" ”
Wu Mei said for a long time without saying a word.
When Master Xuanzang got down from Luan, he saw that the queen was looking at him, so he smiled and put his hands together and said: "The Great Treasure Accumulation Sutra has clouds, like people in the thorn forest, if they don't move, they will not be hurt. I can't afford to be delusional, and I will always be in the joy of silence. After a while, he will be stabbed by all beings. Therefore, Jingyun: There is a heart that is bitter, and no heart is happy. ”
Wu Mei folded her hands and saluted: "Zen master, is there really a technique of immortality in the world?" ”
Xuanzang smiled: "The six reincarnations, endless, are not enough?" ”
