443 Chapter 432

Nangong Yue leaned on the big welcoming pillow of the beauty couch in her middle-aged clothes, her long dark hair hung down her shoulders with a little moisture.

There was a faint breath of tranquility in the room.

Nangong Yue held a book of words in her hand, and she never knew where she was flying. She hadn't seen the previous page for a long time.

It was already three o'clock in the middle of the night, and the night was a little bit dull, and the movement outside seemed a bit harsh.

Bai Hui thoughtfully said: "The slave-servant went out to see."

Not long after, Bai Hui came back and reported: "The Princess of the World, the guards are searching."

Thinking of the man in black just now, Nangong Yue nodded and said nothing.

They moved into Bixiaotang less than two months, and the defense was not yet complete.

If there is one finger, there will be two. It is only natural to turn Bi Xiaotang over and search it. Xiao Yi has always acted resolutely.

The escort did not enter the main courtyard, with Xiao Yi and the dark guards in it.Today, the spy didn't have any movement, and Xiao Yi discovered the trace. If he had the courage to sneak into the front court, I'm afraid he would have died.

The hustle and bustle outside soon disappeared, and Nangong Yue yawned, turning the book more absently.

"Let's meet my grandfather."

Nangong Yue's eyes lit up and sat up, and then saw Xiao Yi pushed the door and walked in, strode down next to her and sat down.

Seeing Nangong Yue still waiting for herself so late, Xiao Yi felt distressed, but the corner of her mouth was bent.

"Ai, are you hungry? I let the kitchen prepare the supper, do you want to use some."

Without waiting for his answer, Nangong Yue hurriedly asked Bai Hui to prepare, and not long afterwards, two bowls of steaming ravioli were served.

Xiao Yi was indeed hungry, one bite per bite, and he ate a short time later.Nangong Yue looked at him with a smile, and pulled most of the wontons in his bowl to him.

After spending the night supper, the maidservants retired after they packed it up, and before waiting for Nangong Yue to ask, Xiao Yi said without concealment: "... caught one in the rear hood."

The back hood is the residence of the people underneath, and there is a small alley immediately outside the fence. It seems that the spy was planning to escape from there.

Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Who sent it?"

The two were sitting side by side on the beauty couch. Nangong Yue's straight long hair hung down on her shoulders, causing Xiao Yi to slide her fingers between her hair and gently combed them, and she said casually in her mouth: "Jing It should not last for three days."

A small poison sac was mounted on the back molar of the spy. As long as the teeth were bitten lightly, poison would flow out and kill him directly.However, this method, the dark guards have really seen a lot, and immediately took off his chin after catching it, so that he could not kill himself, and then took out the poison bag.

The spies would certainly not take the initiative to speak the main messenger, Xiao Yi threw the person directly to the Dark Guard and returned.

Nangong Yue's scalp was a little numb with his fingers rubbing, leaning lazily in his arms and saying, "It just disturbed Yongyang's grandmother. Fortunately, Yongyang's grandmother was not an outsider. We will accompany him tomorrow morning. Right."

Xiao Yi responded, remembering something, and said: "Yes, tomorrow Yongyang grandmother will take Liu Niang to Kai Liancheng to see Xiaohezi."

Nangong Yue raised her head and looked at Xiao Yi with a pair of black pupils. Yongyang grandmother and Fu Yunyan came to southern Xinjiang thousands of miles. Naturally, they were going to see Fu Yunhe, but they chose this time...

Could it be...

Nangong Yue only mentioned yesterday that she would hold a banquet in Bixiaotang in a few days. She proposed to go to Kai Liancheng today. This is because she guessed the true intention of her banquet? So she deliberately avoided it?

In fact, Yongyang's grandmother's concerns are not wrong.

The banquet of Bixiaotang was originally intended to be a tentative test of which of the prefectures in southern Xinjiang are inclined to Xiao Yi, who are the kings of Zhennan, and those who are mean, do not want to offend both ends... If Yongyang's grandmother stays here, I am afraid that some wall head grass will come to Bixiaotang for the feast in the name of seeing the long princess.With this name, these wall head grass will not sin Xiao Yi, but also can confuse the Zhennan King .

In this way, it will affect the original intention of the banquet.

Yong Yang's grandmother was too considerate for them, just like a grandmother.

The two of them walked along the way. Although they encountered many setbacks and even some people's deliberate obstruction, they also met many nobles at the same time. These people should be remembered more than those who are not worth mentioning... …

The night passed quietly.In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue went to the yard of Yongyang Guest House to accompany her for the disturbing last night. They also used her for breakfast together.After that, Yongyang took Fu Yunyan set off.

It takes nearly three days from Luoyue City to Kailian City. Although Yongyang was escorted by a guard, Xiao Yi ordered Zhou Dacheng to accompany him in order to take care of one or two.

Only yesterday, Luo Yuecheng learned that Princess Yongyang was coming, and some mansions couldn't help but want to move. They were thinking about replying to Bixiaotang, but they were surprised that Princess Chang went to Kailian City.

Nangong Yue can almost imagine how the husbands will be frowning, maybe they will have several white hairs.

On the third day of Princess Yongyang's departure, Xiao Yi said with great interest early in the morning: "Smelly girl, I transferred a group of black armoured soldiers, and arrived here in the middle of the night yesterday, you can go with me Daying trial crossbow?"

Nangong Yue's eyes lit up and said happily, "I'm going!"

The two worlds are human, and she hasn't been to the barracks yet. The crossbow that can shoot ten arrows in a row will inevitably change the future battlefield pattern.The first official test of the crossbow, of course, she was enthusiastic and eager to try!

Looking at her dazzling eyes, Xiao Yi deeply felt that her decision to take her with her was too brilliant!

Nangong Yue quickly went back to the house and put on a light men's clothing, then took Bai Hui, who also disguised as a man's clothing, and accompanied Xiao Yi to the horse to the camp outside Luoyue City.In addition to the accompanying guards, they also brought a carriage with the ten crossbows sent by Mandarin Bai this time, saying that it weighs a lot, which is not an exaggeration.

Tian He and Yao Lianghang, who had received the news for a long time, are waiting in a schoolyard in the northwest corner of Daying.

At this moment, the school ground also stood close to a hundred soldiers wearing one-color black armor. It was the black armor that Xiao Yi hurriedly tried to crossbow.The 100 soldiers stood aloof and motionless, like clay figurines.

When Tian He and Yao Lianghang saw Xiao Yi coming, they stepped forward to respectfully marry Xiao Yi and marched.

Hundreds of soldiers behind them knelt on one knee to salute: "I have seen my son!"

Hundreds of thick voices neatly overlapped together, like thunderous ears.

Nangong Yue was the first time to see such a scene. She couldn't help but also apologize, her lips raised high.

"Free courtesy."

Xiao Yi raised his hand, and the soldiers stood up neatly again, returning to their original standing posture. They all had no extra movements, and at first glance they were well-trained.

Tian He and Yao Lianghang naturally noticed that a young boy standing next to Xiao Yi couldn't help but take another look.

Since knowing Xiao Yi, Nangong Yue's disguise as men's clothing has been countless times, but she is also very experienced.It is a pity that she is not a heroic girl like Fu Yunyan, after all, there are always a lot of flaws between her appearance and manners, and the old and spicy Ru Tianhe can see some clues at a glance.

Is it a girl?

On the day Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue returned to Luoyue City, Tian He personally brought someone to meet the city gate. Nang Gongyue was always in the carriage, and Tian He had never seen her.But seeing Shizi Ye actually brought a girl to the barracks, and stood beside him, Tian He immediately guessed that this must be the Princess Shizi.

Although there was once a leader of Yongyang Princess who led the army and opened up new territories, it was in troubled times.

How many female generals are there in Kulai?

South Xinjiang is not as strict as Wang Du, but there is no reason why women enter and leave the barracks at will.Shiziye is not unaware of this, but he still brought the Princess Shizi unintentionally, it seems that Shiziye really has a lot of affection for Princess Shizi...

Tian He gave Xiao Yi a meaningful look.

"Shi Ziye," Yao Lianghang's eyes fell a bit on the dozen guards behind Xiao Yi, each guard holding a mahogany box, "What weapon is it?"

Xiao Yi made them come to Luoyue City in the name of experimenting with new weapons. Although Yao Lianghang didn't know what kind of weapon, but seeing Shi Ziye being so cautious, he was convinced that it was no trifling thing!

Xiao Yi made a gesture, and the bamboo immediately took the wooden box in his hand and opened the lid in front of everyone.

Everyone can see that this is a crossbow, a crossbow with iron arrows as arrows.

Ordinary people can only see this if they don't have the official white drawing, but Tian He is a veteran who has galloped on the battlefield for decades.The weapons he has seen are unknown, including the crossbow, and he immediately Seeing some ways, some eagerly picked up the crossbow, after playing for a while, stared at the arrow box on the crossbow, and said with a shock: "Is this even a crossbow capable of firing ten arrows?"

Xiao Yi hadn't answered yet, and Yao Lianghang blurted out, "Fighting ten arrows?!" Ordinary consecutive crossbows are firing at most five arrows.

"General Tian," Xiao Yi smiled broadly, pointing to the target that was a hundred steps away. "Do you want to try this crossbow?"

Tian He shook his pupils again, and said incredulously: "Here at least six hundred steps away from the target!"

As we all know, the crossbow can shoot continuously, with fast speed and great lethality.It is a weapon on the battlefield, but the crossbow's arrow is the iron arrow, and there is no arrow feather at the tail, which makes the iron arrow lose its balance and roll when flying at a long distance. This will limit the range.

Of course, Shiziye would not easily spit out words, that is to say... Tian He couldn't help but show his face, staring at the continuous crossbow in his hand as if he saw a unique treasure.

He settled down, raised the crossbow and aimed at the target, and then hung the string, opened the bow, and released the arrow!

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo..."

Ten iron arrows shot out with a thunderous speed, but in the blink of an eye, they heard a few sounds of "Zheng Zheng", and several iron arrows were inserted into the distant target, and even the target was shaken slightly. You can see its power!

Xiao Yi stared at the arrow and narrowed his eyes slightly in satisfaction.

In the past, the crossbow presented by Han Lingfu during the emperor's holy birthday was not only a crossbow body that was easy to fall apart, but also less than half of the accuracy...but now after careful improvement of the official language, eight of the ten arrows can hit. The target is out.

Moreover, the closer the range, the higher the accuracy.That night's spies finally turned into hedgehogs.

On the side, Yao Lianghang was already stunned and couldn't help but squeezed his thigh so hard that his face was wrinkled.

This crossbow is really amazing!

The crossbow is lightweight, has a long range, fast winding, and can fire ten arrows continuously, and the accuracy is also high! It can be called an artifact!

Shiziye doesn't know where it was obtained, if it is equipped with the three thousand Xuanjia armies...

Thinking, Yao Lianghang's whole person was excited, a kind of pride and ambition overflowed his chest, not only him, but also the hundreds of Xuanjia soldiers on the school field, and the young, dark faces all looked like glowing. , I thought: With this series of crossbows, the three thousand soldiers of the Xuanjia Army will be more powerful than ever, who will dare to commit crimes in all directions!

Seeing how shocked everyone was, Xiao Yi couldn't help but reveal himself.He cleared his throat and said to Yao Liang: "Ahang, you divided these 100 soldiers into two groups..." He Fuer urged Yao Lianghang. Yao Lianghang nodded again and again and quickly ordered to go.

Yao Lianghang quickly selected 60 of the 100 Xuanjia soldiers and divided them into two teams: "Qian" and "Kun". Each team had 10 shield players and 20 archers.The only difference is that there are ten archers in the cadre who use a crossbow, while the Kun team uses ordinary bows and arrows.

The power of the crossbow is so great that accidental injuries may occur, so the arrows of each arrow are covered with coarse cloth during the drill.

Yao Lianghang gave an order and the drill began.

The archers on both sides simultaneously fired countless arrows at the opponent.The goal was a row of scarecrows behind the shield player, limited to a joss stick. .

The Kun team certainly understands that their team is at a disadvantage at the beginning of this exercise, but the more they are unable to admit defeat at this time, especially before Shi Ziye, we must let Shi Ziye see their resilience!

"Swoosh swoosh--"

Wooden arrows and iron arrows are intertwined, forming a dense rain of arrows.

The archer fired an arrow, but the crossbowman could shoot ten arrows in a row. The wooden arrows and iron arrows collided from time to time, making a crisp impact, one after another... Although the shield player of the Kun team quickly blocked a lot of iron Ya, but they blocked this wave, but they were too late to cover the other scarecrows.

In a blink of an eye, I saw the scarecrow at the back of the Kun team. The black iron nails were like a hedgehog... Kun team was sweating in a short while. One to ten, they fired ten arrows, each other It is about to launch Baiya, as if the opponent is an archer who has nine times more than himself.

How can I fight ten?!

The Kun team was struggling to support, but under the offensive of the dry team, their support became so weak.In the end, the captain could only gather all the shield players together, so that they did not have to be tired, but only stick to it. That small area, although embarrassed and helpless, after the end of a scented incense, they therefore guarded the five scarecrows intact, and finally they were not wiped out by the whole army!

The soldiers who watched the battle were all filled with emotion and quickly scored. The scarecrow surviving the team was 30, and 20 of the 20 arrows and 10 could be rated as "minor injuries."

Compared with the five scarecrows who survived in the Xiakun team, the other scarecrows who were hit by Tieya seemed to be terrible. They almost understood the taste of "whole arrow".

The spotted black armor soldiers have some scalp tingling, can't help thinking, if the arrows are not the scarecrows, but the real people?

Tian He's eyes were watching these scarecrows like fire, and if he was not afraid that both Shi Zi Ye and Shi Zi Fei were there, I am afraid he would have shed tears in disregard of his image.

I think that when the old prince first arrived in southern Xinjiang, he was trapped in Nanling by the Nanman for a month.If there were such a crossbow at that time, they would be able to break through the fierce offensive, and not so many soldiers would die, even the old prince also left a dark wound, and went early in a few years.

This crossbow... this crossbow...

It will definitely bring earth-shaking changes to South Xinjiang!

The Xuanjia soldiers were busy cleaning the school ground, and Xiao Yi and Tian He and their party went to Xiao Yi's camp together, including Nangong Yue.

After the people sat down one by one, Yao Lianghang watched Ruobao play one of the crossbows, and he was very proud: if Mo Xiuyu knew, I was afraid that he would be jealous and die himself!

After drinking hot tea, Xiao Yi said, "General Tian, ​​I plan to set up a sacred arm battalion. Like the Xuanjia Army, it is composed of 3,000 people and is equipped with this crossbow."

I heard that this crossbow was not for the Xuanjia Army, Yao Liang Yao couldn't help crying, and looked at Xiao Yi pitifully.

Xiao Yi ignored him and continued: "Trouble General Gen. Tian to pick out five thousand elite soldiers first. After training, the best will enter the Divine Arm Camp."

Tian He respectfully ordered his command, "Yes, Shiziye." He paused and said, "But this crossbow is going to be rushed immediately?"

Xiao Yi slightly raised his jaw, raised a finger, and shook, saying, "Just make this number first."

"Ten thousand?" Tian He's eyes lit up.

"One thousand." Xiao Yi immediately broke his illusion, "One thousand crossbows, one hundred thousand iron arrows." Before he asked, Xiao Yi spread his hands and said, "No way, your family's prince, I don't have enough money. ."

Speaking of Yinzi, Tian He's original fiery heart calmed down, and after the initial ecstasy, he also thought of the key point at once, "Shiziye, this crossbow needs to be iron-oriented, it is indeed expensive. ..."

In order to raise soldiers, for the rest of Fuzhong and Kailian, Shiziye's silver is spent like running water, this time if you add a thousand crossbows and 100,000 iron arrows, then it is a large sum of silver!

Thinking, Tian He's dissatisfaction with the King of Zhennan again came to mind.Originally, the father and son were united, and their profits were determined. They can be more stable and prosperous in southern Xinjiang.

Xiao Yi naturally saw Tian He thinking, but he didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, this time my grandfather helped me, otherwise the 100,000 iron arrows might shrink."

Thinking of the Fang family's iron ore, Tian He's whole person was shocked. This is clearly the blessing of heaven to help the world's son!

One thousand is one thousand.

Don't worry, they come step by step, one day they can become a great cause!

Tian He settled his mind and continued to discuss the matter with Xiao Yi. Today they still need to discuss many things. The first is the craftsman who made the crossbow. The production drawings of this crossbow are confidential and must not be leaked at will. It is necessary to find a group of reliable and skilled craftsmen, and the number of people should not be too large. Although it may slow down the process of making crossbows, it must also be chosen.

Xiao Yi had already discussed this matter with Guan Yubai and said, "General Tian, ​​look at this."

Xiao Yi spread out a piece of silk paper on the book case, Tian He looked at it, and immediately laughed at the palm: "Miao! It is wonderful!"

The person drawing the picture splits dozens of structures of the crossbow, and then draws it out, then they can let each craftsman be responsible for only a few of the steps, even the assembly process is also split step by step Open, then the true core of the crossbow can be held in their own hands.In this case, not only is it stable, but the process of making the crossbow should also be much faster than he had expected.

Tian He estimated: "If this continues, as long as the materials are prepared as soon as possible, I believe that these batches of crossbows and iron arrows should be completed in about a month." When Lenovo practiced today, the soldiers can master the crossbows without a moment. Application, presumably that Divine Arm Camp will be formed soon!

Everyone in the camp, you said one thing to me and said it well.

Nangong Yue didn't say a word from beginning to end, but looked quietly at Xiao Yi's handsome face.

Xiao Yi is like the sun in the sky, born with a dazzling light, unconsciously attracting more and more people to move closer to him, even if he is notorious in the past life, the world has many misunderstandings about him, but beside him People must believe in him and respect him, so they are willing to come to him and give their lives to him...

She is so lucky!

...

At this time, Han Lingfu had been kneeling in Huangjue Temple for seven days and seven nights, the king capital, thousands of miles away.

Ten days ago, the Queen Mother suddenly fell ill and coughed. After consultation, the Tai Hospital only said that it was cold, but she failed to heal. She was bedridden.The emperor was worried, and Han Lingfu, who was imprisoned in the palace, asked him to go to Huangjue Temple to pray for the Queen Mother and pray for blessings.

After going to Huangjue Temple, Han Lingfu kneeled piously in front of the Buddha until now.

"His Royal Highness, Highness."

Han Lingfu's personal eunuch Xiao Mianzi entered the Buddhist hall happily and said to Han Lingfu, "Congratulations, Your Highness, the Queen Mother is awake. The emperor announced that you would enter the palace."

Han Lingfu was delighted.

After learning that the queen mother was ill, Bai Muxiao gave him an idea to ask him to pray for the queen mother.Once the empress is cured, he will be a filial piety, and even if the empress's condition does not improve, there will be no loss.

So, Han Lingfu did it, and now it seems that it is the right bet!

He is now in a difficult situation and must plan step by step.

Han Lingfu stood up and knelt for a long time. He almost did not stand firm. Xiao Mianzi hurried to support him.

"Let's enter the palace!"

Finally, he has the vitality to turn over and must not miss it!

Han Lingfu took Xiao Mianzi into the palace and spent a long time in the imperial study.It is said that Han Lingfu knelt in front of the emperor and cried loudly, admitting that he had done something wrong because he had forgotten his shape for a while, and he was willing to spend the rest of his life to atone for his sins. He can't leave the house without permission, but the discerning people can see that the three princes have turned over.

When the news reached the second prince's palace, Han Lingguan's face was somber as if to drip water.

He painstakingly planned and spent so much effort to pull down Han Lingfu.Unexpectedly, just because he was soft-hearted for a while and did not rush to kill, Han Lingfu even had a chance to turn over!

Han Lingfu already knew that the matter was secretly envoyed by him. Once he turned over, he would certainly not let him go.

Outside the study, a little eunuch stood with a low eyebrow, and said to a beautiful woman: "Concubine Zhang, no one is here now. Please come back."

Zhang Fangfei glanced at the closed study door reluctantly, but he didn't dare to break in. He could only regret to leave with soup and maid.

No one noticed that the little eunuch secretly stuffed a note to an accompanying little girl.

In a few moments, this note reached An Yi Hou...

Guan Yu opened his eyes and threw it into the brazier.

His brows were gentle as before, and he told the two of them in the study: "...It's time to reveal the truth about the empress's poisoning last year to the emperor."

"Yes! Son."

"... Wang is afraid that it is going to be messy." Guan Yubai's voice was not slow or slow, as if to say something irrelevant.

Several princes are all grown-ups, and for that seat, the fight will only become more unbridled.

The emperor's temperament was too soft, and the control of the court was too weak, which only galvanized the princes' ambitions.

It's a pity that until now, the emperor can't see through...
