Chapter 18: Drinking a Thousand Deaths, Rivers and Seas Sucking Liuxia (3)
"Yes, Grandpa Tang Zhan's words are reasonable, if I use my sword, I will stab the central vein, or the acupoints of the head and neck, so that there is no medicine for it. ”
"Well, for now, I can only brake quietly," Tang Zhan sighed and said.
"Grandpa, I just saw the people in Jinchuan Village, it seems that he has a lot of respect for the Tang Sect, and God is fortunate to have a token from Shibo, otherwise, my little fate will have to be explained here," Qingxuan stuck out his tongue.
"My Tang Sect people are also Miao people, and Jinchuan Tusi has been in-law for generations, has always been friendly, most of the well salt, timber, and mountain goods in his village are transported to various places by the carts and horses in my door to sell, and many disciples in Jinchuan Village are mostly from the Tang Sect, and they are from the top and bottom of the village, up to the Tusi, down to the slaves, and have always regarded the Tang Men as relatives, friends and guests, the prince, this time is really dangerous, why do you serve Li Dinglin and send an envoy on his behalf?" Tang Zhanqi said.
Qing Xuan will go south to the original reason, Tang Zhan and Tang Jingyu nodded again and again, avenging his father is a matter for the son of man.
Qing Xuan thought of something, and couldn't help but ask: "I heard that the Cao Gang is trapped in the Northern Army, and Gu Mengbai has taken refuge in Li Cunyi, I came from Nanjun, and I saw that the Tiannan Gu family is still active in the southern border, I don't know what news the two of you have heard?"
"Didn't Master Gu die at Golden Wing Peak, you and I were both present at the time?" Tang Zhan exclaimed.
"No, my sister has seen him in Beipi, and on the night of Tang Aoshibo's death, it was Gu Thief who plundered Li Cunyi's battle, I fought with him, and the heads of several other factions recognized him, and it would never be wrong. ”
"What?" Tang Zhan and Jing Yu exclaimed.
"I once saw the Gu family in Xiaoxiangju in Nanjun, and I was quite suspicious at the time, I didn't believe that the Gu thief would leave behind his family business and hide in Chang'an alone, presumably the people of the Gu family were active in the south and planned ulterior things for Li Cunyi, it was this Sha Luo assassination, maybe there was something else, everyone still needs to be careful, don't enter the urn," Qing Xuan reminded.
"Junior Brother Qingxuan is reasonable," Tang Jingyu said, "However, Jinchuan is full of Miao people, most of them are siblings, and it is very difficult for outsiders to mix in it, and the terrain here is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as you don't hold out, it is expected that no matter how many tricks he Gu and Li have, it will be impossible." ”
"Brother Shi, there are a lot of guards around Shaluo Tusi, and he hasn't been seriously injured by assassination?
"What the prince said is reasonable, even so, you and the young master will stay for a while, I will go to see Sha Luo, remind him, and persuade him to negotiate with the king of Dingnan as soon as possible and deal with it together, after all, one person is poor, and the two parties work together to protect my Miao people and the people of Li from the disaster of war," Tang Zhan said and got up and left.
After Tang Zhan left, Qing Xuan and Jing Yu held hands and talked.
"Brother Shi, Shibo once said, you need to practice the Xiu wheel to the extreme, before you can practice the Qi Bi, don't be in a hurry, I see that Shibo still needs to use the ball-like hidden weapon that night to urge the bi sarong, it should not be to practice the bi sarong to perfection. ”
"You're right, the round ball on my father's chest is out of the Xiu Wheel, he used the power of the blue sarong to urge the Xiu Wheel, and shot out the poisonous hidden weapon, just with the technique of poison control, my father must be extremely injured, if he is at the peak, he can control the qi into poison. My father once taught me the secret of the bi sarong, but my internal strength is still shallow, only a glimpse of the door, and I have not yet been able to understand the method of practicing qi and turning bi, and I will definitely practice diligently in the future to avenge my father. ”
"Brother Shi, what are your plans for the future? I came all the way and saw that most of the Tangmen carriage and horse shops had disappeared and had already returned to Miao Jiang?" asked Qing Xuan.
"Alas, where will it be so smooth, since my father's accident, I have had accidents one after another, most of them have lost their news, they must have been cleared, the people around this Nanjun are all the big housekeepers, hastily withdrawn, and now most of them have retreated to Miaojiang, this time it is also Longshi sent people to invite, I came here with the big housekeeper, to save Shaluo, and soon return to the door of the hometown, see each other in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult. ”
"Don't worry, it's here, I also want to go back to Saibei, if you don't dislike it in the future, you can come to Yanran Mountain to find me, my people are all in the Rouran tent, we herd horses and sheep together, the curtain is on the ground, practice martial arts, revenge can be avenged, can't be revenged, we go to Huangquan hand in hand, wouldn't it be happy." ”
"Okay, that's it, when it's over, let's practice martial arts together, practice as soon as possible, and turn Chang'an upside down, no matter life or death, we should face it hand in hand," Jing Yu held Qing Xuan's hand tightly, his eyes firm.
Qing Xuan nodded heavily. Don't go back to their own room, they live with Jing Yu, the two confide in each other what they have seen and heard in the past few years, Jing Yu heard Qing Xuan always mention Han Qingluo, knowing that he already has a concern in his heart, so he promised to have a chance in the future, and he will pass on the blue sarong to Qing Luo, so that she has this wish, and the two have been talking until dawn, without sleep.
When the two saw that the candles were burning out and the warm sun outside the window was shining through the screen, they got up and walked out of the room. Qing Xuan saw that he was on the mountain, and the Jinsha River and the mountains under the mountain were all in one look, so there were majestic mountains and rivers.
A snail horn broke the thoughts of the two young people, and Tang Zhan ran over in a hurry and said: "The snail horn sounded in the village, it seems that there is a change, let's go and take a look." ”
Qing Xuan hurriedly called Shen Weiren and Qingluo, and everyone followed the road and walked to the Jinchuan Dazhai Hall, only to see that Long Shi and many people were already sitting upright, as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Big steward, Wei Jun is here, he has arrived at the Jinsha River, and the person who went to deliver the letter yesterday has not returned, somehow?" Long Shi and the rest of the Miao people looked at Qing Xuan with no kindness.
"How can this be, big brother, didn't the Wei army send back to the camp and explain the matter here to the prince?"
"Yes, I have instructed them that Jinchuan Zhai has no malicious intentions, let them wait for good news and reply truthfully," Shen Weiren was also puzzled.
"In this case, let's go and take a look, and the argument is clear," everyone in the Qingxuan court arched their hands.
"Okay, then let's go together and see what the Wei people want," Long Shi picked up his scimitar and beckoned his people out of the village.
On the side of the Jinsha River, the camp is square, the soldiers and mountains are everywhere, Diao fights and paging, the majesty is purged, the spears are lined with thousands of willow leaves, the war knives are lined up with thousands of ice fish, the Wei army is waiting for a strict battle, and it is stopped at the place of three arrows away from the river.
The Miao people crossed the river and came, the army did not go ashore, only cruised on the bamboo row, Qing Xuan, Shen Weiren, Jing Yu, Tang Zhan and a dozen Miao people led by Long Shi went ashore, riding a horse approaching, Qing Xuan shouted on the horse: "The prince is here?"
"Do you still have the face to mention the prince?" The person headed by the Wei army was none other than Liu Ziqi, the general under Li Dinglin's account.
"What does the general mean by this? My eldest brother and I were ordered to send envoys, and now we have explained the misunderstanding with the young master Longshi, and we have also sent the accompanying escorts back to the camp to clarify the matter here, I don't know why this is the case today?" Qing Xuan immediately bowed his hand.
"It's a good idea, I never thought that you were in cahoots with these Miao Jiang savages, and the accompanying soldiers must have been killed by you, right?" Liu Ziqi said angrily.
"What? They have returned yesterday, what does the general mean by that?"
"There is no one in the camp to return, yesterday your Miao envoy came to the audience, but suddenly poisoned the letter, the prince has been poisoned, and he has not yet woken up at this moment, is it not that you colluded with these Miao people to kill the prince?
Qing Xuan was shocked when he heard this, he didn't know what was going on for a while, and turned his head to see Shen Weiren also shaking his head.
Long Shi said angrily: "I, the Miao people, have always disdained to do this thing, in your big tent, the capable people are like clouds, how can a small messenger in my village have such ability? That is, you are in trouble for no reason, why should I Jinchuan be afraid?
Qing Xuan was helpless, was forced to pull the reins by Shocking Yu, and returned to the opposite bank on a bamboo raft.
The war drums sounded in the Wei army's array, and the army, under Liu Ziqi's order, ran out of more than 10,000 foot soldiers from the formation, carrying bamboo rafts, and wanted to force the Jinsha River to lead the army to battle.
Most of the Wei army were cavalry, unable to fight on the river, and Jinchuan Village was built along the mountain, which was not conducive to cavalry charge, so the whole army abandoned the horses on foot and swarmed onto the bamboo rafts, and the war horses were temporarily left by the river, and a battalion of small colonels was arranged to take care of them.
Seeing this, Longshi led the army to retreat to the mountain, closed the gate of the village, condescending, greeted the river with a bow and arrow, although the Wei army had an iron shield to protect the head and face, but also kept someone planting a bamboo raft, and the rest of the Wei army also fought back with a strong crossbow, and suddenly the arrows in the air entered the locusts, and the two sides were killed and injured by each other.
Although Qing Xuan was used to seeing the battle array, he didn't know which side to help, and he was at a loss for a while.
Miao people with the advantage of the terrain, frequently have arrows and crossbows to suppress the Wei army, and the arrows quenched poison, the Wei army has countless casualties, many Wei troops broke through the walled gate, and were smashed by the boulders on the mountain, even rushed several times, all in vain, the two sides fought from early morning to dusk, this is the fight to collect the troops, the Wei army killed and wounded thousands, many of the arrow soldiers although they were slightly injured, but the toxin is difficult to solve, they died that night, it was early the next morning, when Liu Ziqi counted, found 20,000 Wei troops, the loss of more than 7,000, can't help but stomp their feet with hatred, irritated and furious, and regardless of the formation, rushed to the mountain like a desperate person.
For a while, the battle between the armies turned into a battle for a hill, a stone step, the Wei army was well-equipped, with long spears and short swords, strong bows and crossbows, covered with armor all over the body, and short soldiers, many Miao people who only wore cloth and rattan armor were quickly harvested and retreated.
"Big housekeeper, you should leave from the back village first, the Wei army is attacking very fiercely, my father please take care of it, I stay here, I will definitely stop the Wei army, even if the gate of the village has been broken, if they want to attack the mountain, they will pay a lot of price," Long Shi saluted Tang Zhan.
"Shaluo Toast's injury is no longer in trouble, after a while of resting, you can get out of bed and walk, you can rest assured, I will definitely heal well, but this mountain road is rugged, how can Toast withstand the bumps, we will stay here to help you defend the village," Tang Zhan said.
"In this way, I thank the big housekeeper on behalf of Daddy, I remember the kindness of the Tang Sect Longshi, but in the future, I will go all out in Jinchuan, "Longshi said, looked at Qingxuan, and said to Tang Zhan: "He is"
