Chapter 40: Crossbow Secret Diagram
Wulatun, merchants gathered, thousands of guards and bodyguards, begging for a living under the knife, missing arms and legs are inevitable, the doctor and the martial arts are a family, and there are good doctors and good medicines in places where there are groups of warriors.
The goose yellow dress is stained with mottled blood, the seven-foot spear still has its own blood dripping, the snow field is dusk, the sound of horses' hooves shatters the peace of the town, a horse returns from the snow, the stunning beauty rides through the long street, the delicate face is full of anxiety and worry, and the graceful posture cannot hide the murderous atmosphere.
The vendors who set up stalls, the warriors who wandered in the snow, and the young girls who leaned on the door to recruit customers, all of them had soft legs and cold bodies, and they were silent under the pressure of invisible killing intent.
In front of the pavilion, he jumped off the horse, Hua Yue walked in with a gun, and when he saw the scene in the room, his heart felt a little relaxed. Qin Rufeng leaned on the bed, talking to an old man, sitting or standing on both sides, there were many students first, there was no sadness on his face, the injury should have been treated, not as serious as imagined.
"Brother, you're not dead yet!" Hua Yue leaned his spear against the wall and approached the head of the bed aggrievedly.
"How can this girl speak like that. The doctor's gaze swept over Hua Yue, secretly thinking of such a beautiful woman, but he didn't know the etiquette, he had a good body, and blamed him unhappily: "The palm is full of heart, although the injury is serious, there is an old man's silver needle medicine, and he can recover after a few days of recuperation, how can he die." ”
"My sister has been pampered since she was a child, and she doesn't know how to be polite, so don't be surprised by the old gentleman. Qin Rufeng knocked her sister unconscious twice, although she was kind, she was still angry when she woke up, and the doctor blamed her, and took the opportunity to put on a majestic posture of her brother.
"Grandpa, Hua Yue is anxious to say the wrong thing, please forgive me. When he said it, he smiled and bowed, and the two faint dimples were loved, and the doctor turned his anger into joy: "Innocence and recklessness are exactly the true colors, what is wrong." The young lady has abrasions on her face, and the old man will give you good medicine and apply it for a few days to keep your posture intact. ”
Annoyed that the arrow feather hurt his face, he ignored the precepts in anger, and slaughtered all the chasing vanguards, and he was worried about leaving scars along the way, seeing that his brother's injuries were unhindered, and at first glance, his posture was unharmed, Hua Yue smiled like he had gotten his beloved toy for the first time, and he couldn't say enough sweet words in his mouth, coaxing the old doctor to laugh, and giving Qin Rufeng a few more treasures for injury medicine.
Thanked the doctor with a lot of money and sent him to the gate of the pavilion, and when he was leaving, Hua Yue reminded in a low voice: "Grandpa, if there is a war at the border, you should reserve a way to retreat in advance." The old doctor looked at her a few times, and replied unexpectedly: "That human head is Fan Feng, the martial arts school of Pingsha Fortress, you have made great achievements, but also created a big disaster, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, return to Fengyun City quickly to report." ”
The old healer's footsteps faltered, and his back slowly disappeared at the end of the long street, Hua Yue came back to his senses, no wonder he gave extra medicine to his brother and sister, it turned out to be an imperial secret agent, a group of unsung heroes who wandered between life and death all year round.
After resting for half a day, Qin Rufeng was still difficult to ride a horse, Hua Yue went out to find a car dealership, bought a carriage at a high price, and hurried out of Wulatun overnight.
On the carriage, Hua Yue buried himself in writing the battle report, Qin Rufeng was bored, poked his head out of the car window from time to time, flirted with the female soldiers on horseback on both sides, and changed his face to a lascivious scoundrel, so angry that Hua Yue made mistakes in his pen several times, and he really had nothing to say about this brother's temperament.
The battle report is very detailed, but the process is similar to the truth, the reason for the night visit to the fortress is to track down suspicious merchants, and none of the chasing soldiers are alive, Hua Yue said that there are a group of masked women to help, intentionally or unintentionally leading the clues to the Cuihua witch soldiers, not only to clear their own suspicions, but also to instigate the relationship between the two countries, anyway, there is no proof of death.
Traveling fifty miles a day, camping next to the beacon tower, walking day and night for six days, Qin Rufeng's injuries were basically healed, and the scars on Hua Yue's face fell off, and he still insisted on applying medicine every day. Qin Rufeng couldn't help but speak, in the end, she was a girl, she valued her posture more than her life, who would believe that hundreds of elites would all be killed under her bow and arrow, and the Cuihua witch soldiers would be the culprit of the black pot.
Fengyun City Vice Admiral's Mansion, recognizing Fan Feng's head at a glance, the old captain who has been in the battle array for a long time and is accustomed to life and death is also difficult to keep calm, and before he can ask, he sees Hua Yue holding the battle report in both hands, the more the old captain looks at it, the more frightened he becomes, the big war is coming, and even the Three Kingdoms melee, and decades of peace may come to an end.
"Where is the crossbow machine map?" After reading the battle report, the old lieutenant asked in a deep voice.
The crossbow machine diagram is true, this group of students is the great hero of the empire, if there is a mistake, what awaits them is the ruthless military law of high-ranking officials and magnates to shirk their responsibilities, and use their young heads to try to resolve the disaster of the border war, so as not to let the rolling wealth from be lost from the three areas.
"We want to see the adjutant general, as well as Lord Ling Shi, and present the drawings in front of the three of them. Hua Yue's tone was firm, and he once again refused the old captain's request to look at the drawings.
"You can't trust the captain?"
The old lieutenant was angry and angry, and he unconsciously revealed the murderous aura of the official, and deliberately gave these students who didn't know what to do to make them understand the consequences of offending the dignity of the commander.
Qin Rufeng and Hua Yue stood side by side, and it was always the younger sister who spoke, seeing that the old lieutenant was angry and oppressing people, he stepped forward and said with a strange smile: "Lord Captain, the person who can contact the top secret of the crossbow machine diagram, the status is only higher than yours, and we still risk death to intercept it, do you want to kill people and kill people when you do this." ”
"Bold!"
"Well said!"
Two shouts sounded at the same time, the former was the old lieutenant who was extremely angry, and the latter was not high in tone and not small in momentum.
"Captain Meng, the crossbow machine diagram is very important, and it is indeed inappropriate for you to check it alone. ”
A middle-aged civil official walked in quickly at the door, walked to Captain Meng's side while speaking, and apologized to the student with a smile: "I am Shi Fangze, the commander of Fengyun City, don't be impatient, the adjutant general will be here immediately." ”
"I've seen Master Lingshi. ”
Qin Rufeng saluted respectfully, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the crossbow machine plan is too wide and heavy, and it is difficult to protect everyone's lives if they are not careful, and the chronic disease of killing people in the army and risking merit and rewarding them has not heard his uncle say since he was a child, he would rather offend Captain Meng with words, and he would also insist that the three of them gather together before handing over the drawings.
"Fang Lingshi, the crossbow machine diagram is a secret of the military department, and it doesn't seem appropriate for you to watch it as a civilian official. "Ling Shi came by coincidence, Captain Meng was suspicious, and his words turned retreat into advance.
"Hehe, this official naturally can't tell the authenticity of the crossbow machine diagram, but he received a secret report early and knew that they had killed Fan Feng, so he rushed to inquire about it, and it was just a coincidence. Fang Lingshi's words were not revealed, and he looked at the old lieutenant for a long time: "Although it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity, this official can be used as a witness to prove the fact that this group of cadets submitted the drawings, regardless of the authenticity of the drawings, the cadets are loyal and courageous." ”
"Thank you, Lord Lingshi. ”
The students saluted one after another, and their good impression of this Fang Lingshi doubled, if they didn't kill someone and grab the drawings, how could they know if they were true or false, even if they snatched back the fake pictures, the loyalty to the empire was unquestionable.
Captain Meng snorted coldly and stopped speaking, Fang Lingshi took the battle report and watched it carefully, and the hall fell silent for a while.
The captain of the guard at the gate understood it, and secretly ordered to strengthen the vigilance, and the figure of the guard flashed from time to time, much more than when he came in, but it made Hua Yue secretly happy in his heart, the more people who know, the more difficult it is to kill people, and the more secure everyone's safety is.
The deputy general of Fengyun City came belatedly, first listened to Captain Meng's simple report, his eyes swept over Fang Lingshi, and stared at Qin Rufeng for a long time, which made everyone feel furious in their hearts, and they came to hand in the confidential drawings, why did these officials treat them like thieves.
"Tell me who you are?"
"Lingbo Mansion Boy Standard Battalion, fifth-grade cavalry team, captain Qin Rufeng. ”
"Hand in the drawings, and the book will be checked in public to see the authenticity. ”
Hua Yue handed over the leather bag as ordered, and the deputy general opened it to see that his face changed greatly, holding the picture in one hand and turning it quickly in the other, the sound of the pages was clearly heard in the hall, and the others were not easy to disturb, waiting for him to give a conclusion.
"Come and inspect the seal, two of you. ”
After reading the last page, the adjutant general closed the drawing and only revealed the cover, Ling Shi and the lieutenant approached, looking at the vermilion seal, and the faces of the two became solemn.
The military department is top secret, the cover clearly indicates the level of the drawing, on it is a vermilion seal, the three of them are extremely familiar, the big seal of the main hall of the imperial military department, I don't know how many documents are conveyed from the military department every year, but all important documents can always see this big seal.
A true crossbow machine, the weapon of war that the Empire is proud of. If it is introduced to the Sunset and Cuihua Empire, even if the steelmaking technique is not good, it will be difficult to create a crossbow comparable to Qinghui, and the imitation will also cause great damage to the Imperial army.
Since the adjutant general entered the hall, he didn't like this group of students very much, and attacked Sunset Fortress for some military merits, bringing the threat of war to the empire, and he had prejudices in his heart, so his face was naturally not good-looking. And when the crossbow machine diagram was checked, it was verified that the seal of the military department was correct, and the deputy general knew the weight of this drawing, the latest crossbow machine design drawing of the empire, and the crossbow manufactured was only equipped with the military camp directly under the empire, and the four county king's mansions were not yet eligible to get it, and it was almost stolen by the Sunset Empire.
"You have made great achievements, not to mention killing the military school, that is, killing the prince and princess of the sunset, and snatching back this blueprint, even if the two countries go to war because of this, the empire will only praise your loyalty. ”
The adjutant general's voice landed loudly, and the students were completely relaxed, and they were playing crookedly, this time it was pure luck, if they didn't happen to get this drawing, it could be seen from the demeanor of several officials that what was waiting for everyone was by no means a good fruit, and it was not good to really give away their lives in vain.
The three officials successively praised the soldiers, and the adjutant general summoned the scribe to come in, wrapped the drawings tightly in front of everyone, and also wrapped them together with the battle report, and then solemnly signed it with Ling Shi and the captain, and instructed Qin Rufeng to also sign his name, and personally stamped the seal of the deputy general's mansion.
"Send someone to report directly to the military department, wait, please ask Lord Wu Zong to make a trip in person, and be sure to hand it over to the minister of the military department. ”
As soon as the adjutant general finished giving the order, Fang Lingshi reminded from the side: "My lord, should you report to the county king's mansion first, and they will forward it to the military department." ”
Captain Meng interrupted him impatiently: "The military situation is urgent, the matter is important, one less link, one more safety, you can report to the county palace separately." ”
The adjutant general's tone was softer, but it did not mean to change his original intention in the slightest.
"Thank you Fang Lingshi for reminding me, let's do it, Captain Yan wants to accompany Lord Wuzong to the military headquarters, the big war may be coming, and it is not appropriate for the general to leave the city at this time, so I ask Fang Lingshi to go to the county king's mansion in person, and report the matter to the prince as it is, you have read the battle report and drawings, and everything is returned according to the truth. ”
"That's fine, then I'll draft the paperwork immediately and go to the county king's mansion in person. Fang Lingshi said goodbye, but the deputy general stretched out his hand to stop him, and scolded with a smile: "The students have made great contributions, the standard camp is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, as the Lingshi of Fengyun City, how can you have to entertain a meal, and the general will also accompany these little heroes of the empire to drink a few cups." ”
"But I was in a hurry for a while, and I should have a banquet to celebrate. Fang Lingshi patted his head and smiled sideways at everyone: "Let's go, the best restaurant in Fengyun City, try the Bianguan wine banquet, it will have its own flavor." ”
The banquet was sumptuous, the adjutant general personally accompanied, the accompanying officials all appreciated the soldiers, and the figure of Captain Meng was missing during the banquet, presumably accompanied Wuzong to the military department, the soldiers rarely drank wine, did not eat less food, and the guests and hosts dispersed happily.
Before leaving the restaurant, the deputy general arranged the captain of the guard with three points of drunkenness: "I have a lot of things to do, and my memory is not very good, you will accompany them to the teleportation station, send the little heroes back to Lingbo City, and make great achievements, how can you not go back early to show off, hahaha." ”
