The next day, Quan Wanji and Yin Yang took the soldiers of the palace to escort Wei Xiaochen and Du Chengyuan to Chang'an. Zhao Chong, as the leader, was locked in a tight iron prison car, tied up in all kinds of clothes, wearing a black mask, and held in the center of the team.
When the party walked out of Xiangyang City, Qin mubai and Xue Rengui were waiting for them by the official road, saying they wanted to meet Zhao Chong and say a few words.
Yin Yang stopped the procession, opened a window of the iron prison car in person, did not remove Zhao Chong's black hood, and let Qin mubai talk inside.
"Zhao Chong, I'm sorry I didn't solve the secret as soon as possible." Qin mubai went to the prison car and whispered to the window, "but don't worry, I will crack it one day."
"I believe you." Inside came Zhao Chong's voice, which was vague because he was wearing a hood.
"Think again about the secret. What else have you not told me?" Qin mubai asked.
Zhao Chong was silent for a while and said, "it seems that there is no more. But there is a small matter, I don't know if it will help you. When my grandfather died, my father and I counted his belongings. He found a dark box under his bed with an old armor in it. Look at that system. It's not ordinary. Later when I joined the army, I learned that it was the first of the thirteen armours, Mingguang armour. It's very valuable, and it's not something that ordinary military academies can afford. "
"Your grandfather has a bright armor?" Qin mubai was surprised and said, "is that right. He was a senior general in the army before he died? "
"I don't know. My father didn't know Zhao Chong said, "that's all. When my father died a few years ago, I took the armor to his old man for burial. I've examined it carefully. It's nothing special. It's just a pair of ordinary bright armor. However, the armor is slightly different from the armor of the Tang Dynasty. It should not belong to this dynasty. "
"Is it from the former Sui Dynasty?"
"It should be." Zhao Chong said, "my father and I never knew that my grandfather had joined the army. From the time my father was born, I only knew that he was the leader of the green forest on Jingzhou waterway. There is nothing else
"OK, I see. Thank you." Qin mubai said.
"I hope you don't let me down. If I go to Chang'an, I will die. It's impossible for you to see me when you're in jail. I just hope you can burn a bunch of paper for me at Qingming next year and tell me the good news. "
"I will." Qin Mu nodded in vain, "go at ease! If there is an afterlife, I hope we can be friends. "
"So do you, general Qin. In fact, you are a good person. " Zhao Chong seems to be still laughing.
Qin mubai sighed, waved his hand, Yin Yang came forward, pulled up the window, and took the men and horses away.
Xue Rengui stood aside and said in a soft voice, "it's really hard to say a person's fate. If Zhao Chong wasn't born in a bandit's family, he might be an outstanding figure. "
"Yes, he's very smart and excellent." Qin mubai sighed, "it's a pity that he can't choose his own destiny. In other words, he surrendered to fate and failed to break free from the natural shackles. "
As the people of the Royal Palace gradually moved away, Qin mubai turned around and said, "let's go to the military palace. Rengui, Du Chengyuan has been dismissed. If there is a vacancy in the military mansion, you will take the post temporarily. After a while, the official documents of the imperial court will be officially released. "
"It doesn't matter what the position is. Someone just wants to learn something from the general." Xue Rengui said, suddenly frowning and pointing to a small bush by the road, he said in a deep voice: "be careful, there's an ambush!"
Qin mubai has already noticed that side, angrily scolded: "where Xiao hide his head and show his tail, come out!"
There was a sound in the bushes in front of him. A familiar figure came out and bowed to Qin mubai in front of the center of the official road.
"General!"
"Zhang Tong?" Qin Mu Bai twisted his brow, "what do you want to do?"
"I!..." Zhang Tong raised his head, touched Qin mubai's fierce eyes, immediately lowered his head, moved his mouth and couldn't speak.
"Say what you have to say!"
"If the general doesn't beat me, scold me or cure me, I won't feel at ease in my life!" Zhang Tong summoned up the courage to shout this sentence, suddenly quickly pulled out a waist knife and cut down his left arm!
Poof!
A whole arm suddenly broke and fell to the ground, blood spurted from his shoulder!
Qin mubai was shocked: "you are crazy!"
Xue Rengui quickly jumped off the horse, quickly tore off a skirt, sprinkled a lot of hemostatic drugs with him, and wrapped his wound.
From the beginning to the end, Zhang tonghum did not snort. But his face was whiter than the paper, and his teeth clenched his lips tightly, sinking into the meat.
Qin mubai jumped off the horse and came to him. He squatted down and looked at him with his eyebrows twisted: "Why are you suffering?"
"Zhang Tong doesn't expect the general's forgiveness. He just hopes to redeem his sins and make himself feel better..." Zhang Tong was trembling with pain. On his white face, big beads of sweat rolled down. His voice trembled and said, "take care, general I'm leaving. I'm going back to Chang'an! "Then he struggled to his feet. Just go ahead.
"Stop!" Qin mubai stopped him and walked up to him, saying, "you'd better take care of your injury before you leave."
"No Zhang Tong said with a sad smile, "the general has taught me a lot of self-help and healing skills. What is a broken arm? As long as the head Lu is still there, I will not die. I dare not stay in Xiangzhou any longer. The thought that I once betrayed the general here makes me feel worse than Dao Jiao. "
"Ah..." Qin mubai sighed, "if I had known today, why should I have known it at the beginning?"
"Yes, Zhang Tong." Xue Rengui, who has always been silent, can't help saying, "is Wei Xiaochen worth doing these things? I know that general Qin and general Baiqi, especially those of you who came to Xiangzhou together, are as close as brothers. What makes you take risks, dare to help Wei Xiaochen and betray general Qin? "
"Actually..." Zhang Tong's mouth slightly twitched, showing a bitter and helpless smile, "Wei Xiaochen, is my father."
"What?" Qin mubai and Xue Rengui screamed together.
"Yes." Zhang Tong nodded and said with a bitter smile, "my mother used to be Wei Xiaochen's concubine, but he abandoned her from beginning to end. Later, my mother remarried and married Zhang Jia as a concubine. But at that time, my mother was pregnant with Wei Xiaochen's flesh and blood. That's me. Zhang Jia is a famous family in Chang'an. Over the years, I have been discriminated and insulted in Zhang Jia, and my adoptive father has never treated me as a son. Although I have known that Wei Xiaochen is my father for a long time, he has never recognized our mother and son. "
"Since Wei Xiaochen is such a beast. Why do you recognize him? And work for him? " Xue Rengui cheered indignantly.
Zhang Tong shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "general Xue, you can't understand. For a person who hasn't enjoyed his father's love since childhood, what is his expectation for his father. I used to hate Wei Xiaochen, but when he called my son that day, all my hatred for him disappeared. I want a real father, to reunite our family, that's all
"Wei Xiaochen is a beast. He doesn't deserve to be your father Qin Mu Bai gritted his teeth and snorted, "Zhang Tong, you are guilty, but you are not wrong. Why didn't you explain this to me earlier? "
"Wei Xiaochen is unbearable, but it doesn't change that he is really my father. This is a fact. How he treats me is one thing. As his son, I am willing to make mistakes for him. But at the same time, I failed the general Therefore, Zhang Tong was in great pain. At the moment, Zhang Tong just wants to be willing to make atonement for himself and reduce his guilt. " Zhang Tong said. "Baiqi has always been strict in discipline, generous in rewards and punishments, and the general is impartial in law enforcement. Therefore, he is deeply loved and supported by his brothers. Zhang Tong knew that the crime of violating the military regulations was unforgivable. If he was wrong, he was wrong. Zhang Tong did not ask the general to forgive him, and he did not dare to win the general's sympathy and embarrass him. Zhang Tong's move is just to alleviate his inner guilt I am no longer worthy to stay in Baiqi and have no chance to follow and serve the general. If there is an afterlife. Zhang Tong, still want to be a soldier under the general's command! "
"Good brother..." Qin mubai patted his uninjured shoulder, frowned deeply, and said, "you are an excellent Baiqi."
Zhang Tong gazed at Qin mubai with tears in his eyes. He nodded heavily and said in a deep voice: "general Xie! Take care, general! Subordinate Goodbye
Let's go. Zhang Tongyi turned and strode away.
All the way, all the way.
"General Qin, will he be ok?" Xue Rengui is worried.
"No. I believe in him Qin mubai took a deep breath and said leisurely, "every one of them is strong, brave and daring. Zhang Tong who lost one arm. Will live more natural and confident than before. This is not necessarily a good thing for him... "
Looking at Zhang Tong's back, Xue Rengui said thoughtfully, "general, Xue may know what kind of army Baiqi is."
Soon after, Qin Mu white-collar with Xue Rengui returned to Xiangzhou military mansion.
There is a military examination in the government - archery!
It was presided over by Pang Fei. Now, Qin mubai can be relieved to be a shake off shopkeeper. After the election of the Du Chengyuan party. Baiqi and Yigan have firmly grasped all the real power of Junfu and penetrated into every corner. From then on, the whole military mansion has been marked with a hundred riders. Not only does it have a new mental outlook, but also the behavior of ordinary sergeants.
Xue Rengui turned around in the barracks. He was surprised and said, "I didn't expect that. The ordinary soldiers of Xiangzhou Prefecture are more capable than the elite recruiters of Wangfu! General Qin, you are really good at leading the army. Xue has too much to learn! "
"Ha ha, then you stay and study hard!" Qin mubai said with a laugh, "coincidentally, Pang Fei has just got married. He is looking forward to my coming back so that he can take his vacation and let him accompany his wife on his honeymoon. After he left, you must be busy. "
Xue Rengui blinked: "dare to ask general, what is honeymoon?"
……Qin mubai stayed in the military mansion for ten days, taking Xue Rengui hand in hand to practice. Xue Rengui is indeed highly qualified and hardworking. In a short period of ten days, he seems to have integrated with Xiangzhou military mansion and quickly filled the vacancy left by Pang Fei after his vacation. Xiangzhou Junfu is like a train on the right track. Keep a steady pace at a constant speed.
In fact, Qin mubai's dim sum is not withering, because he is always thinking about the "research institutes" outside Xiangyang City. Finally, at the appointed time with Niu Wuzhi, he rode out of the military camp alone and went straight to Niu Wuzhi's residence.
The houses rented by Niu Wuzhi and others are relatively remote. They are located in a mountain forest, with no village in front and no shop behind. There are no neighbors nearby. It's a bit isolated from the world.
Qin mubai just rode into the forest. Suddenly, there was a loud noise in front of him, which made the horse almost lose its hoof and made Qin mubai's ears hum.
"Did it work? Such a loud noise Qin mubai put up his hand to see, a column of white smoke in front of the sky!
He was immediately overjoyed - it was white smoke! It's not black smoke!
High purity explosives, there will be such smoke! The crude black powder of the Tang Dynasty gives off black smoke. The master and apprentice of Niu Wuzhi have been playing with the black powder all their lives, and they have blackened their whole body!
In a surprise, Qin mubai rushed to the farmhouse. It's a long way away. I heard several old voices cheering like thunder: "success! It's a success
"These old guys do have some brushes. Under such crude and primitive conditions, they really made this kind of explosive!" Qin mubai jumped off his horse and walked towards them. Without waiting for him to come near, Niu Wuzhi ran to him in ecstasy, and then jumped and cried: "it's a success! I succeeded, ha ha ha! I made it
Qin mubai thought it was hard to talk to him, so he put up a thumb at him.
"Official. I want to thank you! " Niu Wuzhi was so excited that he could not help holding Qin mubai's hand with his harpoon and victory and shaking it hard. "You made me fulfill my wish all my life. I will die without regret. Ha ha ha - er!"
All of a sudden, the five fingers of the cow trembled all over, and his eyes were so stiff that they didn't turn.
"What's the matter with you?" Qin mubai was shocked.
Niu Wu Zhi's eyes looked at Qin mubai straightly, his hands were soft, and suddenly he fell down straightly.
"Master --" the other three old men were beside him. They were so scared that they cried out and quickly reached for help, but it was too late.
The five fingers of the Ox are like a statue of cement. It's hard to look up and fall to the ground. Its eyes are never closed, but its face is full of ecstatic smile.
"Master, master!" The three old men screamed, wailed and burst into tears.
"Master He's an old man. He's gone to heaven! "
"Wu Wu Wu..."
Qin mubai was stunned for a moment, and he said: is it because he was too excited and died of myocardial infarction?
The three old men with black face and white hair are crying in tears -
"Wuwuwuwu, master, you can go with ease! Shenhuolei has been prepared, and you will have no regrets! "
"Don't worry. We will keep your promise and will only make medicine for general Qin all our life until we die of old age. "
"Master, you have no wife and no wife. For decades, you have been treating us as if you were your own. Let's die for you."
"If there is an afterlife, our three brothers will serve you. Serve for a lifetime Woo woo
……
When Qin mubai heard a familiar oath, he felt a faint pain in his heart.
Niu Wuzhi went without regret, and the three white haired apprentices really fulfilled a legendary oath: one day as a teacher, one life as a father!
"I'll send someone to the market to buy a coffin, master Niu, and ask you to mourn for him. In addition, in memory of master Niu, let's call this new gunpowder "five finger God thunder." Qin mubai sighed, "after that, someone from Qin will take care of the three old masters until the day when you go back to heaven to accompany your master."
"Da Lei, er Lei, San Lei, thank you, general Qin!" Three old men with white hair saluted Qin mubai together.
"Get up, I can't stand your big gift." Qin mubai lifted them up one by one and sighed in his heart -
love in the world is better than the way of heaven!
