Chapter 205: Encounter the Mortal Enemy Again
The west city of Lingguan City is a little different from the east side of the city, the gate of the east city is followed by the high pine mountain forest, and the most unique side of the west city is the branch of a canal. Walking to the Xicheng area, it is obvious that a large river runs through one side of the city, and the width of the river extends directly to the other part away from Lingguan City. Since it is a branch of the canal, this large river has naturally become a major transportation route in the city, and it is seen that large and small boats are moored on the shore, and there are people loading and unloading things on the boats from time to time.
The western part of the city is mainly managed by the border center, and the logistics on the canal are naturally also. Xiao Wuzhong followed Bian Yang to the mouth of the Xicheng bank, saw the ships gathered at the bank, and then said: "It seems that Lord Bian is really good at governance, the flow of the mouth of the West River is quite frequent, why have you never heard of General Wang praising Lord Bian in front of you?"
Bian Yang shook his head with a smile, and then responded: "General Wang only cares about the military issues of Bianliang, and has never ignored things such as logistics and economy, not to mention how well you manage this place, if you make something wrong in the armament of Lingguan City, then General Wang will blame for a while." โ
"It's the bronze cannon I got before, I don't know how Lord Bian managed it?" Xiao Wuzhong said back to the topic at this time.
Bian Yang smiled lightly, and then said, "Okay, just as Lord Xiao wishes, I will ask someone to arrange the ...... now."
While talking here, Su Jia also followed from behind at this time. Because the bank of the Xicheng River was relatively open, and there were also Bian Yangcong's subordinates everywhere, Su Jia didn't dare to land immediately for a while. Still watching quietly from the eaves opposite.
"Canal branch?" Su Jia saw the situation at the mouth of the Xicheng River, and exclaimed in his heart, "I didn't expect this small Lingguan City to be connected to the branch of the canal...... But if I'm not mistaken. Xiao Wuzhong must have carried the bronze cannon down the back mountain trail from the back mountain of Xiaojia Villa, and then reached the north gate of Lingguan City, and Zuihou used the flow of the canal to go down the branch of the canal. The transportation on the ship can often avoid people's eyes and ears, so according to what Xiao Wuzhong and Bian Yang Cong said just now, this is how the copper cannon Xiao Wuzhong got arrived in the hands of Bian Yang Cong in Xicheng......
Su Jia couldn't help but feel that all of this was planned by Xiao Wuzhong and others for a long time. This also had to make Su Jia have countless worries about the possible impact of these things......
Bian Yang took a few steps forward from the direction of the mouth of the west river, and then gave a few orders to his subordinates at the mouth of the river. In a few clicks, the people at the mouth of the West River seemed to have received orders. All the ships at anchor began to move, and then in order, one after the other, one column after the other. Along the way, a wide estuary was opened in the middle.
Look at this jiashi. Bian Yang seemed to be making a big move, and Su Jia was also puzzled when he saw it from the eaves of the high-rise building opposite......
Immediately afterwards, Bian Yangcong seemed to have finished one thing, and then turned his head to face the tall building on the eaves where Su Jia was. Su Jia was startled, thinking that her whereabouts were exposed, and immediately subconsciously lowered her head.
However, Bian Yang didn't seem to have discovered Su Jia. He only walked back a few more steps, and then gave some order to the guards downstairs. Then there was no movement.
Su Jia was also very curious, she didn't know what Bian Yang wanted to do. Out of curiosity, Su Jia plucked up her courage, leaned out slightly, and then looked downstairs - due to the angle, Su Jia could not see everything, and could only observe a few soldiers in armor opening the door downstairs one after another, and then standing up again.
"What do they want to do......" Su Jia didn't know much in her heart, but before Su Jia could react, suddenly, Su Jia felt some vibrations all over her body.
Su Jia thought it was an earthquake, but she turned around and relieved herself, only to realize that it was only the building she was in that was shaking. After a while, she heard the sound of a huge object moving in the building, and Su Jia couldn't help but realize that the building she was in was not simple. But fortunately, Su Jia was able to observe all this more clearly. Immediately, Su Jia turned around again, and looked in the direction of the mouth of the West River, wanting to see what Bian Yang wanted to do......
Looking at Su Jia's gaze, Xiao Wuzhong's expression suddenly smiled, it seemed that he knew very well what Bian Yang wanted to do. Bian Yang shouted a few more words to the soldiers there, and then, the vibration of the building where Su Jia was located became louder and louder, and what Su Jia had been wondering about finally surfaced.
Su Jia was stunned, and looked from the eaves upstairs, and what gradually came into view from below was a black pipe mouth. Slowly, more and more nozzles gradually emerged, moving forward neatly and side by side - these black nozzles were the bronze cannons that Xiao Wuzhong got from the mountains behind Xiaojia Villa.
The copper cannons were side by side, and they were very heavy in themselves, and each of them had two soldiers pushing them, and the building just now made a huge vibration, because of the sound of the copper cannons. Su Jia looked at these bronze cannons, and then realized that the building where she stopped on the eaves was not simple--she performed light skills, and Zuihou actually stopped on the roof of the "arsenal".
But at this time, the attention of Bian Yang Cong and his soldiers was all on the building where Su Jia was, and it was inconvenient for Su Jia to move his body immediately for the time being, otherwise it was very likely to be discovered. So, Su Jia was still prostrate on the eaves, looking down at everything that might happen next.
Bian Yang still didn't find Su Jia, he continued to command his subordinates, and pointed all the copper cannons at the mouth of the riverbank, one by one.
After doing it for a long time, Xiao Wuzhong walked to Bian Yang and said, "It seems that Lord Bian has managed the copper cannon under him quite well......
Bian Yang patted the dust on his sleeve, and then said, "Then please Lord Xiao to see if there are any parts missing." โ
Xiao Wuzhong raised his head and calculated, and then responded: "It should have been fifty-one bronze cannons, but due to yesterday's mistake, there are still four of them in the cold cave in the back mountain of Xiaojia Villa that have not been taken out, so it seems that Lord Bian is right to have forty-seven bronze cannons here." โ
Bian Yangcong smiled again and said, "Hmph, I'll help you keep it well, Lord Xiao." But that's not all, when General Wang comes later, I will let General Wang and Lord Xiao see you......"
Xiao Wuzhong nodded. Then the two of them managed the arrangement of these bronze cannons under their hands, while waiting for Wang Dasheng's arrival......
Don't look at the only forty-seven bronze cannons, this string stands neatly at the mouth of the West River, and it can give people a sense of oppression in an instant. Su Jia was prostrate on the eaves, and at such a distance, he could feel an indescribable sense of suffocation and even fatality, thinking about the power of the copper cannon gunpowder, Su Jia used to be when he was still chasing the wind. In the suburbs of Bianliang, I saw Meng Yuan's soldiers training and used it. As soon as a cannonball goes down, the distant location will be blown into dust, and even the boulders clinging to the rocky mountain will be blown to pieces. Even if your martial arts are world-famous, in the face of powerful gunpowder, there is no way to shake the power of the bronze cannon.
Moreover, there are forty-seven doors here, if all of them are used. Able to eat almost all the front rows in the army. Look at the rows of black nozzles below. Seeing the real copper cannon, Su Jia was even more worried: "I didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to crusade against Zhang Shicheng and capture so many copper cannons." Now that all these dangerous things have fallen into the hands of Xiao Wuzhong, Xiao Wuzhong has taken refuge in the Mongols, if so many copper cannons are all used against Zhu Yuanzhang's righteous army, it will definitely cause immeasurable consequences...... Let's go down, not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, it is Xiaojia Villa. Just now, Xiao Wuzhong said that if these bronze cannons can be placed in the Mengyuan army. Wang Dasheng will make him the head of Xiaojia Villa, could it be said that Wang Dasheng will use these bronze cannons to deal with Xiaojia Villa? Moreover, the Central Plains martial arts has always been a 'big trouble' in the mouth of the Mengyuan court. It is not ruled out that the Mengyuan court will use these to deal with the martial arts people in the Central Plains...... No, if I continue to do it, something will happen, and I have to find a way to stop this. At the very least, you have to tell Xiao Juxian's seniors the news first......"
So, Su Jia quietly turned around and prepared to leave, anyway, the secrets that should be known are basically clear, the sooner Su Jia goes back to inform the news, the more Xiao Wuzhong's conspiracy will not succeed. However, before she got up from the eaves, a picture she didn't want to see made Su Jia give up for the time being......
At this time, a group of troops came from the east of the city. The number of troops was quite large, not to mention a thousand. Riding on a horse at the front was a nine-foot-tall, armor-clad man, with a cold face and a terrifying murderous aura exuding from his body.
Wang Dasheng, a familiar and fearsome face, the last thing Su Jia wanted to see, had made Su Jia suffer a lot when he was in Bianliang City. When he broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion at night, Su Jia saw the horror of Wang Dasheng's martial arts, and when he helped Li Yuru and Tang Zhan get out of trouble in the departure area, Su Jia was chased by Wang Dasheng and was almost discovered. Unexpectedly, the road was narrow, and today in Lingguan City, the place of death was met again.
In fact, Su Jia's martial arts are not under Wang Dasheng at all, but it is not easy for Su Jia to defeat Wang Dasheng. And what really frightened Su Jia was the kind of cold murderous aura emanating from Wang Dasheng's whole body, as well as the military power in his hands, if he rashly did it with Wang Dasheng, even if he could settle Wang Dasheng, he would not have the strength to escape Wang Dasheng's soldiers and horses.
Seeing Wang Dasheng's sudden arrival, Su Jia immediately pressed her body lower, for fear that Wang Dasheng would see a strand of her hair. When he was in the Prime Minister's Mansion that night, Wang Dasheng could know Su Jia's movements just by the smell of pig's blood on the eaves, which showed how terrifying Wang Dasheng's perception was; with the internal force that could penetrate a building's room with one palm, Wang Dasheng's martial arts from the Western Regions were definitely not inferior to the top masters of the Central Plains martial arts. is completely in the form of a cold-blooded killer, and he also holds the power of Bianliang, which is also the main reason why Su Jia is reluctant to meet Wang Dasheng.
However, Wang Dasheng didn't find Su Jia at this time, after all, now Su Jia and Wang Dasheng are too far away, Su Jia can see Wang Dasheng condescendingly, and Wang Dasheng would never have thought that there were still people who dared to lurk in the "arsenal" of Xicheng in broad daylight......
Xiao Wuzhong and Bian Yang saw Wang Dasheng's arrival from here, and immediately called the guards around them to stand in place. "General Wang is here......" Bian Yang said softly to Xiao Wuzhong beside him, "When I talk about these bronze cannons later, I will help you explain it......
With the arrival of Wang Dasheng, the mouth of the Xicheng River, which was still a little lively, immediately became quiet. Even Su Jia, who was far away from the eaves of a high-rise building, could even hear the sound of Wang Dasheng riding a horse and iron hooves. In such a solemn and quiet scene, Su Jia didn't dare to move around, for fear of touching any bricks and tiles. The sound made Wang Dasheng notice. But it's good to be quiet, that is, what Wang Dasheng says later, Su Jia can also faintly hear it. At this time, Su Jia held her breath and concentrated, her gaze looking into the distance was only half revealed, and her breathing rate was always controlled......
Wang Dasheng led his thousands of men and horses to the mouth of the Xicheng River, and then ordered his soldiers to stand neatly. Xiao Wuzhong and Bian Yang saw Wang Dasheng's arrival, and said in unison: "Welcome to General Wang's arrivalโ"
Wang Dasheng still had a cold expression on his face. After Xiao Wuzhong and Bian Yang greeted, Wang Dasheng got off the horse alone, accompanied by the friction of metal armor. With a nine-foot-tall body and a cold and murderous aura emanating from their bodies, Xiao Wuzhong and Bian Yangcong, who were standing opposite, couldn't help but feel a sense of oppression.
Wang Dasheng walked up to the two of them, and then asked in a cold tone, "How is it?" Have you all got everything General Ben wants?"
Xiao Wuzhong didn't dare to say anything. Bian Yang, who had a slightly better relationship with Wang Dasheng, greeted him with a smile: "General Wang, it's basically all dealt with, but it's just ...... Yesterday there was an accident with the four guns of Zuihou, and it didn't ...... I couldn't get ...... smoothly" said, facing Wang Dasheng's cold face, Bian Yangcong's voice was trembling.
However, when he heard Bian Yang cong say "not going well", Wang Dasheng turned around with a serious and murderous expression. made Xiao Wuzhong and Bian Yang stunned for a moment.
Xiao Wuzhong couldn't calm down anymore, and hurriedly explained: "General Wang, please calm your anger." Yesterday was supposed to be very smooth, but unfortunately it was discovered by unknown people when it was in the back mountain of Xiaojia Villa, and it is estimated that the vigilance of the back mountain has been strengthened in the villa at this time, and it is not easy to get ...... again."
However, before Xiao Wuzhong finished speaking, Wang Dasheng preemptively said in a cold tone: "How did you promise General Ben, didn't you say that you will be able to get all the copper cannons smoothly?"
Bian Yang never knew Wang Dasheng's character, so he immediately came up and said slowly: "General Wang, don't be too strict with Lord Xiao, after all, it is not easy for Lord Xiao to do such a dangerous thing behind their backs." What's more, now that forty-seven of the fifty-one cannons have been obtained, the remaining four won't have much impact......"
Wang Dasheng thought for a while, then turned his head and said, "Forget it, if Lord Xiao is really reluctant, General Ben will not be reluctant." And as Master Bian said, forty-seven bronze cannons have been obtained, and the remaining four cannons can't be obtained......"
Hearing that Wang Dasheng no longer blamed himself, Xiao Wuzhong and Bian Yang breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts at the same time. Xiao Wuzhong seemed to think of something again, and then said: "General Wang, yesterday someone discovered the movements of his subordinates, and he may know who he has to do with it......" As he spoke, a treacherous smile appeared on Xiao Wuzhong's face.
"With whom?" Hearing Xiao Wuzhong say this, Wang Dasheng asked in a cold voice again.
Xiao Wuzhong was first frightened by Wang Dasheng's cold expression, and then relieved himself and said, "When I went back to Xiaojia Villa today, I met the disciple who was kicked out a year ago and came back. I didn't meet him last time I went to Tongcano, but this time I did, and I thought to myself, will the thing that was discovered yesterday have anything to do with that kid......" The "kid" that Xiao Wuzhong said in his mouth was naturally Xiao Tian who returned to Xiaojia Villa yesterday.
"I was kicked out a year ago, and now I have only come back, and I am a disciple of Xiaojia Villa again......" However, Wang Dasheng seemed to be able to guess something, and only heard him respond, "Hmph, is there a knife mark on that kid's left cheek?" It seems that Wang Dasheng also thought that it was Xiao Tian.
"General Wang, since you know, did General Wang and that kid ever face-to-face?" Xiao Wuzhong said in surprise, "That kid's name is Xiao Tian, and he used to be the 'bottom worm' of the Xiao Family Villa, but I didn't expect him to return to the villa, and there is an extra knife mark on his face......"
"It turns out that his name is Xiao Tian...... right" After Wang Dasheng knew Xiao Tian's name, he sneered and said, "Hmph, I haven't just met him, that kid has impressed me very much......
"It's just a guy with poor martial arts, General Wang, you are wise and martial, how can you be interested in that kind of 'bottom worm'?" Xiao Wuzhong sneered.
"Lord Xiao, you are not qualified to laugh at him......" Wang Dasheng sneered and said, "You are the son of Xiao Rencong, the former head of Xiaojia Villa, he is just not a mediocre person, but in terms of backbone, you can't compare to him......" Saying that, Wang Dasheng glanced at Xiao Wuzhong with cold eyes.
Xiao Wuzhong was stared at by Wang Dasheng's eyes, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble, but seeing that Wang Dasheng was very interested in a "bottom worm" like Xiao Tian, Xiao Wuzhong couldn't help but feel puzzled in his heart......
The scene was very quiet, and the voice of the voice was naturally much clearer. Su Jia, who was on the eaves upstairs, heard the conversation on Wang Dasheng's side, and the whole person was completely shocked.
"Ah Tian, it's Ah Tian - weishenme, weishenme Ah Tian will be targeted by Wang Dasheng...... When he was in Bianliang City, Ah Tian didn't do anything to Wang Dasheng, or Ah Tian...... What did he do in front of Wang Dasheng, but he just hid it from me and didn't say anything...... "I always thought that Wang Dasheng was only dangerous to himself, but now I didn't expect it to be directly implicated in Xiao Tian, Su Jia knew so many things in one day, and suddenly felt that everything around him was dangerous. Especially Xiao Tian, when Wang Dasheng mentioned Xiao Tian, Su Jia's heart almost rose to his throat...... (To be continued......)
