C904

In this way, the guess of leaving Yingtian by the moat doesn't make sense. Compared with it, the secret road is more reasonable. But they searched the Imperial Palace and didn't find any secret road.

After all How did Xiao Ruo Ao disappear from under their eyes?

When Dongfang zebai couldn't understand it, Zhang Qiling suddenly said, "in recent years, the Chu emperor has cut down a lot of trees in Qilian Mountain. Do you know what they are used for?"

This seemingly irrelevant sentence made Bu Yun's eyelids jump violently, and his nails pinched into the palm of his hand. With the pain of his palm, he managed to keep calm. "Of course, trees are used to build houses. Otherwise, what else can he do?"

"That's strange. In the past two years, a steady stream of wood has been sent to the palace city, but neither the palace city has been expanded nor the palace has been built. Tell me, where have all the wood gone?"

Bu Yun said uneasily, "how can I know?"

Zhang Qiling looked at the change of his expression and said with a smile: "there is another strange thing. A few years ago, the moat collapsed. The emperor of Chu ordered that the section of the embankment be surrounded and the craftsmen be called to repair it. Originally, it was just a small matter. As a result, thousands of people were called to repair it for three years."

"I know about this. When the river embankment was built, an official of the Ministry of industry suggested that your majesty dig the moat a little deeper. That's why it took so long."

Zhang Qiling nodded: "yes, it's true. I also asked that the official, surnamed Xu, was the Minister of the Ministry of industry. Just a few days before we arrived in Yingtian, the moat was repaired. Xu Shang also died of illness. Do you think it's a coincidence?"

Bu Yun pretended to be calm and said, "it's human nature to live, grow old and die. What's the trick?"

Zhang Qiling was not angry. He said calmly, "let me say one more thing. All the cypresses felled in Qilian Mountain are cypresses of hundreds of years old. These cypresses are made of solid and smooth materials. They are wear-resistant and resistant to moisture. They are superior shipbuilding materials."

"A man can't hold his breath for half an hour, but if he is locked in a big airtight wooden box, the air left in the box is enough to support him to cross the moat."

Dongfangze suddenly said: "yes, I didn't expect that. I'll send someone to search along the way. Thousands of people will escape together. There must be traces left."

Zhang Qiling shook his head and said, "they are going south along the waterway. You don't have a boat. How can you chase them?"

"Ships?" Dongfangze pondered for a moment, and said tentatively, "do you mean They went south by boat? "

"More than that, they took an extraordinary boat. Am I right, the first one?"

"I I don't know what you're talking about Bu Yun is cold all over. At the moment, he can't hide his fear. He doesn't understand how Zhang Qiling knows so much. He hasn't mentioned a word.

"You know that." Zhang Qiling vetoed his words without hesitation, "you should build a kind of boat that can dive into the water and drive. Only in this way can you cross the moat unconsciously. You just said that the emperor of Chu would come back to us soon to get revenge. In recent years, Western Chu had frequent foreign wars and civil strife, and people's hearts had already disintegrated. It was obviously impossible to gather a large number of troops in a short time, so there was only one possibility left: borrowing troops

Zhang Qiling said a lot at a time, a little breathless. After a pause, he continued: "throughout the countries, Qi is the only one who has the ability to compete with our Dynasty and may borrow troops. Starting from Yingtian, you can go down the river to Nanzhao, which borders on the state of Qi, and then you can reach the state of Qi through Nanzhao.

Bu Yun looks blue and white as if he had seen a ghost. He has long heard that the fourth Prince of Dongling is careful and resourceful, and is second only to Princess Xuanji in the world. At that time, he didn't think he would lose to him, but now he has really made it I know how naive I was.

"Linmo, send a message to your majesty immediately." Dongfangze looks very serious, 200000 troops are out, and Jinling's troops are empty. If Su Xiao Ruo Ao really tells the Qi emperor to send troops to attack, it will be troublesome.

"It's a wonderful story, but it's always just a story." Bu Yun is still struggling there, trying to shake Zhang Qiling's idea, but he is disappointed.

"Whether it's a story or not, you know it in your heart, and I know it in my heart." Zhang Qiling was not influenced by him at all. He looked up and said, "Lord, maybe it's useful to keep him alive."

"Good." After ordering people to detain Bu Yun, Dongfang Ze said in a deep voice, "how sure are you about that speculation just now?"

"Hoo..." The cold wind mixed with snowflakes whistled in at the gap between the curtains, which made the whole body excited. Zhang Qiling coughed a few times and said, "nine kings don't believe me?"

"No, it's just..." Dongfangze hesitated: "is there really a boat that can be hidden in the water?"

"I was just speculating, but bu Yun's reaction confirmed that. I don't dare say 100%, but 70% or 80% is true. " From the beginning, Zhang Qiling was trying Buyun, analyzing his mind step by step according to his subtle to imperceptible expressions and actions, and thinking about the next words.

Dongfangze nodded and asked, "you say Will emperor Qi go through this muddy water? "

"The emperor of Qi may not want to help Xiao Ruo Ao, but he knows very well that after the destruction of Western Chu, the next one is Qi. In addition, Xiao Ruo Ao has enough chips to move the emperor of Qi, so He will promiseDongfangze was stunned, "what chips?"

"Forget what we lost in the city?"

When he mentioned this, Eastern zeaton responded, "you mean artillery?"

"Artillery and muskets are so powerful that the emperor of Qi could not be greedy. In recent years, there have been many imitations, but there are no drawings and notes. What he made is a pile of scrap iron. Now Xiao Ruo Ao exchanges drawings, even if it's a incomplete one, it's enough to impress the emperor of Qi, not to mention the ships that are half floating in the water. "

"That's right." Dongfangze gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to arrange it now. I'll leave in two days. I must go back to Korea before the Qi army, so as not to be taken by them first."

After dongfangze left, Xinyue tucked in the quilt corner for Zhang Qiling and said anxiously, "can you hold up so fast?"

Zhang Qiling smile, holding her slightly cool hands, "your husband is also a martial arts practitioner, how can there be so weak, these days, has been a lot better, do not believe me to go down to show you."

Xinyue quickly pressed him and said angrily, "I'm proud just a little bit. In case the wound is cracked, what do you do?"

Zhang Qiling pointed to his head and joked: "the wound is here. It's really hard to crack it. Would you like to have a try?"
