The more Latu listened, the more furious he became. Finally, he picked up the wine glass and threw it on Bart's face. His whole body was shaking with rage, and he pointed at Bart's head, "You loser, do you still have the nerve to come back? You really gave us Tartar is a disgrace, do you know that what happened tonight is not your own disgrace, but our entire tribe’s disgrace!” Latu roared loudly.
Bart knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head. "What the third prince said is that his subordinates have no shame in living anymore. I came back today just to tell the third prince that the number of troops in Huangling City does not seem to be as small as we learned, and the defense force is not as small as we have learned." The people in the city are very strategic, please be careful, Third Prince!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bart stood up and saw the wolf-tooth scimitar hanging on the wall beside him. He pulled it out and put it against his neck. "Third Prince, Bart will be loyal to you again in the next life!" After that, he closed his eyes. , just cut it on his own neck!
Latu jumped over with a quick stride and grabbed the blade of the scimitar with one hand. Blood slowly left Latu's hand and Bart's neck. Although Bart's neck was cut open, the wound was not deep, just a superficial wound. !
Bart slowly opened his eyes and saw that the scimitar had been caught by Latu. He quickly let go of his hand and knelt down again, "Please forgive me, Third Prince, for hurting your noble body!"
Latu threw the machete aside, patted Bart on the shoulder, sighed softly, his eyes full of reluctance, "Bart, you have been with me for five years, right?"
"Five years and three months!" Bart replied hurriedly.
"Yes! It's been more than five years. Over the years, I have been fighting fiercely with my two brothers, and you have always been by my side. Now in my military camp, you are the only one who can speak your mind. You die. Okay, who do you want me to use to charge into battle in the future?" Latu said seriously.
When Bart heard this, his cold heart felt very warm, and his eyes shed tears. "Third Prince, it is your subordinate who has embarrassed you! This subordinate deserves to die!"
"That's all! Remember your twenty whips first. We are about to start a war with the Ming Dynasty. I will remember it for now. When you make up for your mistakes, give me a good fight!" Latu shouted.
Bart hurriedly kowtowed, "Thank you, Third Prince, I will never give up until I die!" Bart said while crying.
Latu pulled Bart up and smiled slightly, "Go back and rest quickly. Think carefully about what happened tonight. You won't do it again in the future!"
"Yes!" Bart replied gratefully.
"Also, tonight is enough to alert the enemy. Let me inform you not to go outside Huangling City in the next two days. After three days, we will capture the city in one fell swoop. These two days will give the warriors a good rest. After three days, we will conquer Huangling City. Lingcheng!" Latu roared with hatred in his eyes!
"I obey!" Bart shouted.
With this lesson learned, the two sides lived in peace for the next two days, but the calmness on the surface hinted at the inner surge. Zhao Xuanyi also gradually adapted to the life of this era in the past few days. What time did he wake up and what time did he rest every day? , I am also slowly exploring and learning about basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation. With daily discussions with Shen Wei, I have gained more information!
On the sixth day of guarding the city, this was also the end of the war-free day. Logically speaking, the two sides were about to start a war on this day. All the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had been extra vigilant since dawn. There were twice as many soldiers standing guard on the city wall. Everyone Looking into the distance with fear, for fear of missing a detail and being exploited by the enemy!
Zhao Xuanyi and Shen Wei walked up to the city wall and looked into the distance, but did not see the shadow of the Tatar enemy. This made Zhao Xuanyi feel strange, and thought to himself that the other party's rude look did not look like a careful person. I thought I would rush here early this morning to fight for my life, but unexpectedly, the opponent also started to use tactics! Sure enough, people should not be judged by their appearance!
Shen Wei looked up at the sky. It was already afternoon and he had already eaten lunch, but there was no movement outside. It was as if the two sides had ceased war. He couldn't feel any murderous intent at all. This was very unusual! This kind of tranquility before war is the most frightening, because you don't know when the enemy will rush out from there, so you might as well have a good fight!
Of course, this is just the thought of ordinary soldiers, and the same is true for the people lying behind the hill. "Miss, today should be the first day when the no-war card is put away. Why haven't the Tatar soldiers come to call for formation?" Lychee asked a little strangely. .
Li Hanyan sneered, "Do you think every general is what you think? The person the Tatars sent this time was Dugeqing Mandu Latu, the dignified third prince of the Tatars! He is not a fool, and now both sides The competition is about strategies, I guess Zhao Xuanyi’s two showdowns have already worked, and Du Geqingmandu Latu has also become serious!”
"Then Miss, when do you think they will fight? Can't we keep silent?" Qinglian asked.
Li Hanyan turned over, looked at the blue sky, and slowly closed her eyes, recalling what she had seen and learned over the years. "If I guessed correctly, the war will kick off tonight, now Latu You can’t guess how many people there are in the city, he won’t be so impulsive and send troops at will!”
"Oh!" Lychee nodded with some understanding and then stopped talking.
After watching for a long time, Shen Wei said, "Young Master, something is wrong!"
Zhao Xuanyi also frowned and said, "There is definitely something wrong!"
"Then...what should we do now?"
Zhao Xuanyi slowly touched his head with his hand. It was too weird. Either the other party had remembered the date wrongly, or he was holding it back! Suddenly, an idea flashed in Zhao Xuanyi's mind, and he turned to look at Zhao Xuanyi, "Who among our soldiers can shoot the best bow and arrow?"
Shen Wei had a look of confusion on his face. He was not familiar with this group of soldiers since he had known them since they were guarding the city. He called Tang Tianli loudly, "Which of our soldiers has the best archery?"
Tang Tianli thought for a while, "There is one named Wang Yunchuan, and his brother Wang Yunlong. The two brothers have been hunting with their father since they were young, and their archery is always accurate!"
When Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Quickly, call them here!"
"yes!"
Soon, Wang Yunlong and his younger brother Wang Yunchuan came to the city wall. When they saw Zhao Xuanyi, they hurriedly saluted, "Centurion!"
Zhao Xuanyi looked at the two brothers. They had ordinary faces and scorched skin. They looked like they were from the countryside. "I heard that your brothers are good at riding and shooting. How about showing them to me?"
When Wang Yunlong heard this, a smile appeared on his honest face: "General, we brothers are not boasting, within forty feet, we can hit wherever you point!"
"Okay, don't talk too much!" Zhao Xuanyi turned to look at the open space outside the city. "Did you see where we first fell into the horse pit? There is a fist-sized stone on the right. Shoot that stone for me!"
Wang Yunlong turned around and looked, his eyes slightly narrowed, without saying a word, he pulled out the bow and arrow from his back, set the arrow with his right hand, and fully pulled the bow string. It took less than a second, and with the sound of breaking wind, the arrow The arrow flew out as fast as lightning!
【Snapped! 】The fist-sized stone was accurately hit by the arrow shot by Wang Yunlong!
When Zhao Xuanyi saw it, his eyes widened and he grabbed Wang Yunlong's shoulders, "Brother, you have this skill. If you don't participate in the Olympics, you will be underestimating your talent!"
"Ah?" Wang Yunlong really didn't know what the Olympic Games Zhao Xuanyi was talking about?
"Um? It's okay! Your archery skills are good, very good! In this way, you brothers, listen to my orders and go back to sleep from now on. After dark, listen to my instructions. It depends on you brothers whether you can sleep peacefully tonight. !" Zhao Xuanyi said excitedly.
The two brothers looked at each other. No one could guess what the centurion meant. But as soldiers, just follow orders, so the two of them went down to rest!
Shen Wei raised his eyebrows and came to Zhao Xuanyi's side: "Young Master, do you have any plans?"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled mysteriously at Shen Wei and did not answer directly. But when Shen Wei saw Zhao Xuanyi's strange smile, he knew that the Tatar soldiers were going to suffer again!
"Tang Tianli!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted.
"My subordinate is here!" Tang Tianli hurriedly came over!
"Lead ten soldiers and go into the city to look for paper, scraps, and rags, good or bad. Find more for me, and come see me as soon as you find them!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted.
"Uh? Yes!" Tang Tianli figured out Zhao Xuanyi's thoughts. If this centurion didn't want to say something, no one could ask him. He just had to obey his orders. He might even be able to undress the Tatar soldiers!
Shen Wei's brows were almost knotted, and he thought, what good idea has the young master thought of? Why didn't you even tell me?
But far away in the capital of Ming Dynasty, there was still singing and dancing, and flowers were blooming! The bustling streets are bustling with people, there are an endless stream of merchants and hawkers, the juggling on the overpass is wonderful, and the sellers walking through the streets are working extremely hard!
The girl upstairs in Zuichun is still wearing cool clothes, and her white skin is like a bright sign for Enke to admire! No matter what the battle situation is on the front line, this place is like the other world, without any influence! In line with the old saying, a business woman does not know the hatred of her country's subjugation, and the river bank is still singing, "the flowers in the garden!"
At this time, in the private room on the second floor of Zuichun Building, a man wearing a gray gown was listening to the singing of a woman on the stage. There were several delicacies on the table, but the man did not take a bite. He seemed not to like these delicacies. Holding a folding fan in his hand, he fanned his chest gently, not even taking a sip of the nectar and jade liquid, as if these worldly things were not qualified to enter the mouth!
【Dong dong dong! 】There was a slight knock on the door, and a woman's greeting came from outside the door, "Sir, the guests are here!"
The young man was listening to the ditty attentively, and his appreciation was disrupted by this greeting. He looked unhappy, but he just sighed softly, "Come in!"
The door opened, and a man wearing a dark blue gown walked over quickly. He was dressed as a Central Plains man, but his face was not from the Central Plains. When he saw the young man sitting on a chair, he hurriedly knelt down on the ground. "See Prince Wang!"
The young master waved his hand gently, "No need to say more polite words!" After saying that, he took out a letter from his sleeve and placed it on the edge of the table. "My lord is very angry. This is not the best time. Why can't your leader hold back his temper so much?" ? Almost ruined the plan!" the young master said with a slight reproach.
The man in blue hurriedly put the letter into his sleeve, still kneeling on the ground, "I would like to ask the prince to say a few kind words in front of you. I will hurry back to the tribe and I will definitely give the letter to the leader and ask him." Make a decision!"
The young master put away the folding fan and said, "My lord, I would like to send a message to the leader of your family. A small impatience will ruin a big plan. Remember this!"
"Yes! I will convey this to you!" The man stood up and saw the young man's eyes staring at the stage. He seemed to understand something in his heart. "I'll take my leave now!" After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and left the room.
The man in blue came downstairs and found the person in charge of Zui Chun Tower. Without saying a word, he took out four gold cakes from his arms. When the woman in charge saw it, her eyes lit up and she took the four gold cakes with trembling hands. Holding it in his hand, "Oh, what a rich man, which girl in our building have you fallen in love with?"
The man in blue pointed at the girl who was singing on the stage, "Her!"
When the woman heard this, she turned her head and looked at the stand, with a troubled expression on her face, "Uncle, do you know something? Our Xue'er only performs arts, not...?"
Before the woman finished speaking, the man once again took out four gold cakes from his arms and placed them in the woman's hands. The eight gold cakes added together amounted to a hundred taels of gold. The woman was so frightened that she could not speak.
"When she finishes singing, take her to Cuiyin Pavilion and accompany any young man inside. If she doesn't want to, these eight gold cakes will be the bounty for you and that girl to behead. I think many people will take this business. Yes!" After the man in blue finished speaking, without waiting for the woman to reply, he turned around and walked out!
"Me?" The woman thought she was a master she had met before, but today this one was really hard for her to see through!
The waiter on the side saw this situation and hurriedly asked, "Aunt Hong, what should we do?"
The woman looked at the heavy gold cakes in her hand, her face was extremely tangled, she took out three gold cakes and put them in the hands of the waiter, "Wait for Xueer to finish singing, give them to her, and then send them to Cuiyin Pavilion. Tell Xue'er that if she doesn't obey, her gambling father will be beaten to death! Let her think clearly on her own!"
The boy looked at it, didn't dare to refute, took the gold cake and left in a hurry!
The opera on the stage is beautiful, the women are dancing intoxicatedly, it seems like a prosperous and prosperous era, but under this prosperity, how much truth and lies are there? A pot of turbid wine can reveal all the dangers in the world, but a piece of gold can reveal loyalty and falsehood! This is the current situation in the capital!
At the border of Lanhai City, in the evening, Tang Tianli came back with three people pushing three unicycles. The cars were filled with tattered clothes that the people were unwilling to take away. As for the paper, they did not see it. In that era, there were several people Can you afford paper?
