Northern.

"General, the enemy's offensive is too fierce, these damn barbarian cavalry, plus the firearms in their hands, we can't stop it."

For the first time in the Soviet War, it was so difficult to defend the city, such as today's cold and freezing, and some supplies could not be supplied, and the grassland barbarian cavalry was surrounded by water, and I don't know what these grassland barbarians are crazy about.

If he hadn't been on guard for a long time, he was afraid that the northern Xinjiang Pass, which had now been breached, would have happened something unspeakable.

Su Zhan stood on the edge of the city wall, all the troops had shrunk into the city to defend it, and the reinforcements from the imperial court did not know how long it would take to arrive, leaving him with little time, because the people in the city were already panicked, and there was a food shortage.

"How much food is left?" Su Zhan asked weakly.

The quartermaster who managed the supplies in the army stood up and said in a deep voice: "Back to the general's words, if you cut down on food and clothing, you can still hold out for ten days." ”

Su Zhan punched the battlements and said indignantly: "Damn grassland barbarians, damn widows, they should destroy the country, if you can't kill Lao Tzu this time, next time, I will definitely destroy you." ”

In the camp, looking at the gruel-like food in the bowl, Xu Cong knew that the good days were coming to an end, the grassland barbarians had been besieging the city for a long time, and there was a shortage of food in the city, and the weapons of the grassland cavalry made him have a strong interest, he had actually been hesitating, whether to find an opportunity to sacrifice this thing, Tang Guo did not seem to want him for killing officials.

This discovery made Xu Cong a little surprised, it can be said that what he did was enough to wipe out the family and destroy the clan according to Tang Law, and the nine clans would be harmed, but the news he heard was not only not wanted for him, but even the news seemed to have been erased, and there was no imaginary turmoil at all.

At the beginning, Xu Cong was not sure, until now, after so much time, it was still the same result, he was really relieved, no matter what Emperor Li Sheng said, he was considered a Ming Jun, did he not pursue him after learning about what happened in their family, this is not certain.

In short, it is a good thing, so that Xu Cong gradually put down his mind, and began to ponder the secret technique of gunpowder given to him by his father, under his small bunk, there is a fire thunder that he quietly prepared, which no longer needs to be ignited, thrown out, under the impact, it can be detonated by itself, and the power is not small, this is used to save his life, so it has been hidden under the bed.

Now, he is hesitating whether to secretly find an opportunity to dedicate himself to the general Su Zhan, so as to solve the siege crisis, but he is afraid that his actions will expose his identity, in case he guesses wrong, His Majesty the Emperor is not a Ming Jun, or just his wishful thinking, then the Xu family will really be doomed.

So now Xu Cong is very entangled, after so many days of contact, these honest military men have made him realize what life and death are, and treat each other with all sincerity, just because he is young, everyone treats him very well and takes good care of him, the gruel in his hand now is still the rations left over from those rough men, Xu Cong's eyes are moist.

"No, if the city is broken, everyone will die, and there will be no eggs under the nest, so let's die." Xu Cong bit his teeth and his heart was crossed, so he drank the gruel in one gulp, and his eyes were firm to find out the fire and thunder that was secretly hidden, ready to find the general of the Soviet War to report his identity.

But a few strangers dressed in ordinary soldiers' clothes suddenly appeared in front of him, and said with a sneer: "It's really not easy to find you, it's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, it takes no effort to get it, hand over the gunpowder formula, let me go, and ensure that you can enjoy the glory and wealth inexhaustibly." ”

Xu Cong was stunned, what kind of person is this? The people who broke into the barracks came to him and asked for the formula for gunpowder, and they made such a promise.

At the same time, Su Zhan also got a report, a secret envoy claiming to be from the palace, after showing a sign, Su Zhan was told that there may be a guy who is extremely dangerous to Tang Guo hidden in his military camp, and they have found out that the person is in the army's room at this moment.

Su Zhan hurriedly sent someone, but he was a step too late, Xu Cong had already been taken away from the barracks, and the secret envoy of the imperial court said eagerly: "General, this person must not fall into the hands of the enemy country, quickly send someone to chase, live to see people, death to see corpses." ”

At the same time, Zhu Zhen, the fourth prince of the Ming Kingdom, happened to arrive with his maidservant, followed the clues, found the exact news of Xu Cong, and was about to take Xu Cong away, but he was also a step late, and was taken by someone who came first, and passed by the comer.

"Xu Cong has already fallen into the hands of others, we are still a step late, let's go, it's not appropriate to make a move here, follow them first." Zhu Zhen quickly decided to follow these people first, after all, if he did it in the Tang State military camp, no one would be able to take advantage.

And at this moment, our Liu Datianshi, still a hundred and ten miles away, leisurely and slowly, did not know what was about to happen, the closer to the northern Xinjiang, the more merchants came and went, because the war is an opportunity to make a fortune, they are not afraid of swords, where they can maximize their profits, where there are these merchants, it is really a group of people who are not afraid of death.

Liu Shang's behavior and extraordinary bearing, don't be kidding, the big insect under the seat, who can not know, in the Tang Kingdom, it has long been a well-known thing, naturally it can't escape the eyes of people with a heart, and if there are big business travelers, they will follow from afar, hoping to be called by the heavenly master, then go back to glorify the ancestors.

Sure enough, the hard work paid off, maybe Liu Shang was bored, or maybe he wanted to try the comfortable carriage of others, in short, the sky followed people's wishes, and he was selected for a business trip and enjoyed the call of the heavenly master.

"In Xia Xu Maocai, he is a family from Jiuqu Shangjun, and he is fortunate to see the immortal face of the Heavenly Master, I am not very honored, and the Heavenly Master invites me to take a seat." is worthy of being a businessman, and even speaks carefully, first reporting to his home, and then giving up a comfortable carriage, he is really good at being a man.

The carriage was wide and comfortable, and the inside was padded with fur, and as soon as you entered, it was as if you had entered a conservatory, which was very different from the outside.

Liu Shang was very satisfied, and naturally walked in, Xu Mao was even more happy when he saw it, all kinds of melons and fruits and meat came up in minutes, it can be seen that he is really not an ordinary rich businessman, such a layman, can still sit on such a comfortable and luxurious frame at any time, as well as exquisite food, I think he is also a super rich businessman.

Chen Bi had a look of disdain on his face, but his body was very honestly close, and he naturally enjoyed all this, but he refused to give Xu Maocai the slightest good face, as if others should treat him like this, and his attitude was very arrogant.

Liu Sheng glanced at him and said, "Chen Bi, do you know what it is like to be a human being?" ”

When Chen Bi heard this, he thought for a long time and said: "The courtesy of others starts with oneself, and the courtesy of others begins with oneself, and it is a courtesy." ”

Liu Shang first nodded, then shook his head, and then asked, "Then let me ask you, where is your courtesy?" ”

Chen Bi was stunned, a little unclear So, Sun Sizhe seemed to have understood something, looked at the Heavenly Master, and unconsciously lowered his head and was ashamed, Leli looked at the Heavenly Master and Chen Bi with a curious face, she couldn't understand what they were talking about?

"The disciple is puzzled, please teach the Heavenly Master." Chen Bi was ashamed, he still didn't understand the meaning of the Heavenly Master, and he didn't realize that his very rude behavior at the moment had attracted the displeasure of the Heavenly Master.

Liu Sheng is a straight person, he can't get used to it, and he wants to teach him a lesson, so a whisk of dust hit the top of Chen Bi's head, and with a bang, it can be seen that it is not light, Chen Bi stroked his head, and he didn't know why, seeing that he was still untaught, Liu Sheng was angry.

"Just now I saw you looking complacent, holding your head high, arrogant to others, self-respecting, arrogant, what is the reason, are you born superior, others should be born to bow down to you, what about your courtesy, answer me!" Liu Shang had an unteachable face, and his face turned green with anger.

Xu Maocai was originally watching the play on the sidelines, it was not that he didn't see Chen Bi's attitude, but on weekdays, although he was rich, it was difficult for others to pay attention to him, especially those who were famous and famous, and they looked down on him as a businessman, so it was not surprising, I didn't expect that today, the immortal-like heavenly master would speak for him, and who would teach him a lesson? By the way, Chen Bi, that's Chen Bi, a peerless guy in the world, a guy who is all-round in civil and military affairs, and a genius who is knighted as a young man.

He was so moved that he couldn't speak.

Chen Bi came to his senses at this time, oh, it turned out that the Heavenly Master was dissatisfied with his behavior, yes, what's wrong with me, in the eyes of the Heavenly Master, I am just a mortal, what is there to be proud of, why should I look down on others, I was wrong, he is also a man of action, understood his mistake, immediately changed his attitude, and arched his hand to Xu Maocai on the side: "The kid gets the benefits of the elders first, he is not grateful, he is arrogant, and he is rude first, Chen Bi sincerely apologizes here, and also asks the elders to be a lot, Chen Pi is ashamed." ”

Where did Xu Maocai dare to really accept Chen Bi's salute, and immediately stepped forward to help, he was generally at a loss for excitement, and he didn't know how to speak.

Chen Pi sighed in his heart, what the Heavenly Master taught me was, how can I be proud of others, ashamed and ashamed.

Sun Sizhe also nodded secretly on the side, worthy of being an immortal, this kind of demeanor and truth, I have lived a lifetime, and I have never seen it.

Leli thoughtfully.

Liu Shang nodded and said: "A gentleman and a person, if the ice is released in the water, working with people, such as a child servant humble, white and flawless and like dirt and dirt, rich in virtue and like vulgar and ordinary, people, born in the body of their parents, standing between heaven and earth, natural things, noble and cheap things are against nature, noble people are against nature, and other things are together, things and I are one, follow the trend, take advantage of the situation, words and deeds are natural, then it is in line with the Tao, do you understand?" ”
