Chapter 1127 (1/2)
Nangong Yue, in his middle coat, leaned on the big pillow of the beauty couch, and his long black hair with a little moisture hung over his shoulder.
A faint fragrance lingers in the room.
Nangong Yue had a Book of words in his hand. His mind had been flying to where he had been for a long time.
At this time, it was the third quarter of the eighth day. The night was quiet and heavy, and the outside movement was harsh.
Baihui understood and said: ”maid, go out and have a look.”
After a while, Baihui came back and reported: ”the imperial concubine is a guard searching.”
Thinking of the man in black just now, Nangong Yue nodded and didn't say anything.
It was less than two months since they moved into Bixiao hall, and their defense was not yet complete.
If there is one finger, there will be two. It is only natural to turn over the whole Bixiao hall and search it again. Xiao Yi has always been vigorous.
The guard didn't enter the main courtyard, but Xiao Yi and the dark guard were there. Nangong Yue decided that his main courtyard was very clean. Today, the spy was found by Xiao Yi. If he had the courage to sneak into the main courtyard, he would have died.
The noise outside soon disappeared. Nangong Yue yawned and turned over the book more absently.
”I've met you.”
Nangong Yue's eyes brightened and sat up. Then he saw Xiao Yi push the door and come in. He strode to her side and sat down.
But Xiao Yue is still waiting for him.
”Yi, are you hungry. I've got the kitchenette ready for a snack. Do you want some? ”
Without waiting for him to answer, Nangong Yue hurriedly asked Baihui to prepare. After a while, two bowls of steaming wonton were served.
Xiao Yi was really hungry. He ate all the food soon. Nangong Yue looked at him with a smile and pulled most of the wonton in his bowl to him.
After the midnight snack, the servant girls cleaned up and went out. Before waiting for Nangong Yue to ask, Xiao Yi said without concealing anything: ”what's wrong We got one in the back shelter
The hougai house is the residence of the lower people. It is close to an alley outside the wall. It seems that the spy intends to escape from there.
Nangong Yue slightly raised eyebrows and asked, ”who sent it?”
They were sitting side by side on the beauty couch. Nangong Yue's long straight hair was hanging on her shoulder. Xiao Yi slipped her fingers through her hair and gently combed it. He said casually, ”I'm trying. I should not last three days.”
There is a small poison bag on the back teeth of the Scout. As long as the teeth bite gently, there will be poison flowing out, which will kill him directly. But this kind of means, the dark guards saw many, after catching directly unloaded the chin, let him unable to commit suicide, and then take out the poison bag.
Of course, the spy will not take the initiative to say the main emissary. Xiao Yi directly throws people to the dark guard and comes back.
Nangongyue's scalp was rubbed by his fingers, which made him feel numb. He leaned lazily in his arms and said, ”it just disturbed yongyang grandmother. Fortunately, yongyang's grandmother is not an outsider. Let's go and have a crime tomorrow morning. ”
Xiao Yi answered, thought of one thing, said: ”by the way, tomorrow yongyang grandmother will take liuniang to kailiancheng to see xiaohezi.”
Nangong Yue raised his head and looked at Xiao Yi without blinking. His grandmother yongyang and Fu Yunyan came all the way to South Xinjiang. Naturally, they wanted to see Fu Yunhe, but they chose this time
Is it possible that
Nangong Yue said yesterday that she would hold a banquet in Bixiao hall in a few days. Today, she proposed to go to kailiancheng. Did you guess the real intention of her banquet? That's why I avoid them?
Yongyang's grandmother's concerns are not wrong.
The banquet of Bixiao hall was originally intended to test out which of the prefectures in southern Xinjiang were inclined to Xiao Yi, who were Zhennan Wang, and who were the golden mean. Neither of them wanted to offend If yongyang's grandmother stayed here, I'm afraid there would be some waitoucao who would come to Bixiao hall for a banquet in the name of visiting the eldest princess. With such a name, they would not offend Xiao Yi, but could also prevaricate Zhennan king.
In this way, it will affect the original intention of the banquet.
Yongyang's grandmother was too considerate for them, just like a grandmother.
Although they met with many setbacks and even the deliberate obstruction of some people, they also met many noble people, who should be remembered more than those worthless ones
The night passed quietly. The next morning, Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue went to the courtyard of yongyang's guest house to make up for the disturbance of last night and had breakfast with her. Then, yongyang set out with Fu Yunyan.
It took nearly three days to get from Luoyue city to kailian city. Although Yong Yang was escorted by his bodyguards, Xiao Yi ordered Zhou Dacheng to accompany him in order to take care of him.
Luo Yue city only learned yesterday that Princess yongyang had arrived. Some of the residences were ready to respond to Bixiao hall. However, they were surprised to hear that Princess Dachang had gone to kailian City, but they didn't know what to do.Nangong Yue could almost imagine how those ladies would look sad, pointing out that their hair would be white for several times.
On the third day of yongyang princess's departure, Xiao Yi said with great interest in the early morning: ”Stinky girl, I've sent a group of Xuanjia troops to come here. They arrived in the middle of the night yesterday. Do you want to go with me to the camp to try crossbow?”
Nangong Yue's eyes lit up and said happily, ”I want to go!”
She has never been to a military camp. The crossbow that can fire ten arrows in succession will certainly change the battlefield pattern in the future. The first official trial, of course, she was enthusiastic and eager to try!
Looking at her bright eyes like stars, Xiao Yi felt that his decision to take her with him was really wise!
Nangong Yue quickly went back to his house and changed into a light man's clothes. Then he took Baihui, who was dressed as a man, with Xiao Yi and rode to the camp outside Luoyue city. In addition to the accompanying guards, they also took a carriage. The carriage was loaded with the ten crossbows sent by Guan yubai this time. It is not exaggeration to say that they are as heavy as a thousand gold.
Tian He and Yao lianghang, who had been informed for a long time, were waiting in a school yard in the northwest corner of Daying.
At the moment, there are nearly 100 soldiers in black armour standing in the school yard. It is the Xuanjia army that Xiao Yi sent to test the crossbow. The hundred soldiers stood in awe, motionless, like clay figurines.
As soon as Tian He and Yao lianghang saw Xiao Yi coming, they went forward to greet Xiao Yi respectfully.
Behind them, a hundred soldiers knelt down on one knee and saluted: ”I have seen the son of a son!”
Hundreds of thick voices overlapped in order, like thunder.
Nangong Yue is still the first time to see such a scene, can't help but also awe, the corner of his lips high up.
”No gift.”
Xiao Yi raised his hand, and the soldiers stood up in a neat and uniform way, and returned to their original standing posture. They all had no extra movements. They were well-trained.
Tian He and Yao lianghang naturally noticed that there was a young man standing beside Xiao Yi. They couldn't help but take a look.
Since knowing Xiao Yi, nangongyue's times of dressing up as men are not numerous, but they are also full of experience. It's a pity that she is not such a heroic girl as Fu Yunyan. There are always many flaws between her appearance and behavior. Tian He can see some clues at a glance.
Is it a girl?
On the day when Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue returned to Luoyue City, Tian He personally took people to meet him at the gate of the city. At that time, Nangong Yue had been in the carriage, and Tian He had never seen her. But seeing that shiziye had brought a girl to the barracks and stood with him side by side, Tian He immediately guessed that this must be shizifei.
Although there was a princess yongyang who led the army alone and opened up new territory, it was in the troubled times.
In ancient times, how many women generals were there?
Southern Xinjiang is not as strict as Wangdu, but there is no reason for women to enter and leave the military camp at will. He didn't know this, but he didn't mind bringing his concubine. It seems that he was very affectionate to his concubine
Tian He took a meaningful look at Xiao Yi.
”Shizi ye,” Yao lianghang's eyes fell on the more than ten guards behind Xiao Yi. Each guard had a mahogany box in his hand. ”What weapon is it?”
Xiao Yi asked them to rush to Luoyue city in the name of testing new weapons. Although Yao lianghang didn't know what kind of weapon it was, he was convinced that it was not a trifle just by looking at Shizi Ye's prudence!
Xiao Yi made a gesture, bamboo immediately held the wooden box in his hand, and opened the box cover in front of everyone.
Anyone can see that this is a crossbow, a crossbow with an iron arrow as its arrow.
Ordinary people can only see this if they don't have the official white drawing. However, Tian He is an old general who has been on the battlefield for decades. He has seen a lot of weapons, including crossbows. He immediately saw some methods. Some of them eagerly picked up the crossbow, and after playing with it, he looked at the arrow box on the crossbow and said in a startled voice: ”is this crossbow capable of firing ten arrows in a row ?”
Before Xiao Yi answered, Yao lianghang blurted out: ”ten arrows in a row?” A common crossbow can shoot five arrows at most.
”General Tian,” Xiao Yi said with a smile, pointing to the target with an index of 100 steps away, ”do you want to try this crossbow?”
Tian He was startled and his pupils shrank. He couldn't believe that he said: ”the distance from the target here is at least 600 steps!”
As we all know, the crossbow can shoot continuously, with high speed and great lethality. It is a sharp weapon in the battlefield, but the arrow of the crossbow is an iron arrow, and there is no arrow feather in the tail, which makes the iron arrow lose its balance and roll over when flying in a long distance, thus limiting its range.
Of course, shiziye doesn't easily release que Ci, that is to say Tian He could not help but look at the crossbow in his hand as if he had seen the incomparable treasure.
He fixed his mind, raised the crossbow and aimed at the target, then hung the string, opened the bow and let the arrow go!
”Whew! Whew! Whew... ”
Ten iron arrows shot out with lightning speed, but in the blink of an eye, they heard ”clank” several times, and several iron arrows were inserted into the distant target. Even the target was slightly shaken by collision, which shows its power!Xiao Yi stares at the target and squints with satisfaction.
In the past, the crossbow presented by Han Ling Fu on the emperor's birthday was not only easy to fall apart, but also less than half accuracy But now, after careful improvement of Guan yubai, eight of the ten arrows can hit the target.
Moreover, the closer the range, the higher the accuracy. That night's spy turned out to be a hedgehog.
Yao lianghang on one side was stunned. He pinched his thigh and wrinkled his face with pain.
This crossbow is really too powerful!
