Chapter 8: The Evil Star

Last night a heavy rain hindered the army's journey. The first heavy rain in September made the weather suddenly much cooler, and the sun jumped into the sky like a fiery red mooncake.

"The morning glow doesn't go out, and the sunset travels thousands of miles. There is not even a cloud in the sky, and today it is estimated that there is no rain in the herald. ”

Yun Xiao looked up at the sky, turned to the goshawk standing behind him, and commanded.

"No"

The scenery along the way is very good, and it is all the fault of the vast and sparsely populated area. It makes the clouds and clouds a little lingering, the green distant mountains, the dark green forests, not to mention the rushing Yellow River and those trickling streams. Yellow warblers chirp in the branches, and from time to time you can see some sika deer running through the trees. Without the hustle and bustle of the twenty-first century, the sky is a mess of blue. The air is fresh, and there is not a trace of car exhaust smell.

The goshawk bent his bow and arrows, and the two Luan family soldiers ran over and took out a roe deer. This guy has always had no arrows, and the goshawk looked smug and winked at Batu. Three hundred steps from this arrow is also the limit for him, and this thing is completely immersed in the thrill of challenging the limit.

The Huns were all good men who hunted, and they couldn't stand the display of goshawks. Batu was immediately furious, and rode his horse with two Hun men to drill into the forest. After a long time, they didn't come out, and Yun Xiao, who was worried that they would encounter a fierce beast, was about to send someone to answer them. Batu came out of the woods with a big grin, and two tribesmen led the horses behind him. A huge boar was tied to the thick wooden arm, one on the left and the other on the right side of the horse, so that both horses shook when they walked.

"Master Hou, wild boar at night."

Batu is honest and doesn't talk much. It's just that the kung fu of squeezing the eyes has not been practiced well. It's just that a pair of eyes can't stop winking at the goshawk as if they have trachoma, so angry that the goshawk turned his head and pretended not to see it.

The mouth opened. I couldn't stop the car anymore. Luan Yong showed off his stunt, flying stones and birds. But there are no birds. Although the army is not left without grass. But few birds dare to fly over, and birds do not have pheasants. In the grass by the side of the road, a pheasant sprang out of the ridge. Luan Yong threw a stone in front of everyone, and then pounced like a hound.

Very accurate, very strong. The pheasant's head was shattered, and the killers looked at the pheasant. patted the shoulders of the Hou Ye's brother-in-law, and his strength was a ticket to the circle of these guys. If you don't show some real skills, Hou Ye's brother-in-law will not be recognized.

Entering the mountains, there are no villages and towns in front of it. The army had to camp in the wilderness. I chose a place near the mountains and rivers to set up camp. The daggers in the hands of the Huns flew up and down, and the huge wild boar weighing hundreds of catties quickly turned into small pieces. A soldier of the Luan clan who grew up in the mountains even found a wild beehive.

The lit artemisia grass smoked vigorously, and the wild bees couldn't stand the smoke and fled. This guy got a lot of honey without bloodshed.

The honey was mixed with mountain spring water, smeared on the wild boar meat layer by layer, and roasted by a large pile of bonfires. The aroma of barbecue wafted far away with the wind, and many green eyes appeared on the periphery of the military village.

Liu Cheng walked to Yun Xiao's side with a large piece of wild boar, and his subordinates next to him cut it with a knife. The one took a sip of steamed wine, and chose a piece of fat and tender one to put in his mouth. Let's chirp and chew.

The pig's ears were mercilessly confiscated by Yun Xiao, and some cucumbers were cut and mixed with red oil, chewed crispy in the mouth, which was a good dish to accompany the wine. It's that the ears of wild boars are a little small. However, one person has eaten enough, and Yun Xiao does not plan to share it with others.

"Brother, come out with you where is the war. It's clearly an outing. Tell my brother how you settled in Chang'an. You said you were going to set it up. Canglan is also gone. Teach my brother, how did you fool your majesty and excuse you without hesitating to talk nonsense.

Lang Guan Tian Wei is conscientious and upright. These eight words of his mother are simply "incompatible" with him

My brother can now figure out his face in Luoyang, and while collecting the money of the bitter master, he is changing his way to help you excuse you. It is difficult for that Dou Zhong not to be knocked out of his bones and suck the marrow, it is normal to break the family, and it is a fluke not to break the family. ”

"He deserves it, but no individual can think of such a way to humiliate people. A weak woman, that Dou Rail can really think of it. Brother has heard a sentence that is the most philosophical, and he will have to pay it back sooner or later. ”

Liu Cheng blinked his little eyes and didn't speak, as if he was reminiscing about Yun Xiao's words.

Pengcheng has been the place of three wars since ancient times, and Yunxiao could not have passed through here. However, Yun Xiao still stubbornly wanted to come and see, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu each took tens of thousands of younger brothers to open the film here. I didn't see that scene, but it's good to see the ruins.

Pengcheng Taishou is very enthusiastic, enthusiastically please eat and send things warmly. is to ask Yun Xiao when he will leave and pass through Luoyang. The Taishou adults all regard Yunxiao as a flood beast, and ask God to worship the Buddha, this uncle, not to make trouble in his own land.

Go see the ruins of the ancient battlefield, no problem. As long as you leave Pengcheng quickly, no one will care about you even in the sky. Lord Taishou personally accompanied Yunxiao on the tour.

The results were disappointing, except for the scattered bones and broken blades. Yun Xiao found almost nothing, decades have passed. What was once a battlefield has been transformed into a forest of trees. Only in the glades can you see some traces of the old camp.

A puff of black smoke suddenly rose from Yun Xiao's body, and the bear blocked Yun Xiao's body at the first time. The bear-like body completely blocked the clouds, and the shattered shards clanged across the armor. Taishou-sama was so frightened that he peed on the spot, thinking that it was the ghost who died in battle. I know that this Lintong Marquis is a disaster star, and he can actually attract ghosts in broad daylight.

Luckily, the bears have face armor on their armor. Aside from being blackened, he didn't suffer any other damage. The goshawk had already fired an arrow into the grass, and a black figure flew out of the grass. The fly's arrow actually shot in the air, which made him feel embarrassed. This guy has escaped from his arrows twice, and when he was about to shoot again, he found that he had escaped without a trace.

Dai Yu chased after his subordinates, and Huoyu's light body kung fu was very good. Otherwise, it would be impossible to escape so fast last time, and Dai Yu probably didn't gain much this time. Sure enough, Dai Yu and his brothers searched for a long time but found no trace of Huoyu, so they had to return in vain.

Lord Taishou was carried away by his entourage outside the forest, and Yun Xiao casually touched a handful of bear's armor. The smell of sulfur is very light, not as good as the firecrackers that I set off at home when I was a child. The black ash on the armor seems to have not been spared charcoal.

After carefully examining the remnants on the ground, it turned out to be a clay pot slightly larger than a fist. It seems that this is the thing that the fragments kill, and the ratio of gunpowder is very problematic, and the power is not enough to blast iron or bronze. Otherwise, it should be made of iron, at least you won't have to worry about breaking.

He threw away the broken pottery shards in his hands and wiped his hands with burlap. Selling such high-tech products in front of oneself is a provocation with naked wings. Forget about nitroglycerin, one is that the material is not easy to get and the other is that this thing is too unstable. Black powder is fine, no problem at all. If the black powder can't be made, Yun Xiao feels embarrassed to say that he has gone to junior high school.

The kind words comforted Lord Taishou, but after explaining it many times, it didn't convince Lord Taishou that this was the moment, not some kind of demon or monster. When Taishou-sama got into the carriage, he began to have a fever, and he was probably frightened.

Yunhou's prestige once again spread far and wide, and when he went out to inspect the historical attractions, he actually brought back a Taishou half-dead, and I heard that there was a tendency to hang up. The guards near and far were frightened by this general who conquered the south, and they left the county to go to the countryside to investigate. If you can't afford to provoke it, hide first.

The supply of the army has become extremely abundant, and there is no need for showdowns or forcible robbery. Everywhere I went, the fat pigs and fruits in the cart kept ordering. The official who sent the military funds was also well-behaved, and a big money bag was stuffed into Liu Cheng and asked when the army would be launched. If Liu Cheng's face is difficult, there will be a big copper cake stuffed into Liu Cheng's sleeve. Since beating Pengcheng, Liu Cheng's hand has cramped all the way to collect money. The big mouth never closed.

"Brother, what have you been tinkering with all day. Brother, I'm right to follow you, or you'll be sick tomorrow. I think the girl who is too guarded is good. ”

"Get out of here, take someone's money. Even people are starting to think about it, can you make a difference? Hey, don't stuff that stuff in your mouth that's poisonous. ”

Liu Cheng has developed a bad habit, he likes to stuff everything in his mouth that Yun Xiao tinkers with. Fortunately, this time I ate charcoal powder, and Yun Xiao grinded it N times very carefully. The powder was ground so fine that it was charcoal.

The taste of charcoal was obviously very bad, and Liu Cheng spit out twice. Hold the kettle and rinse your mouth.

"Brother, what the hell. Is it really poisonous? ”

Liu Cheng looked at the thing in front of him puzzled. The grayish-white ones seemed to be saltpeter, and he couldn't figure out the remaining two piles.

"Well, it's poisonous, and it's dangerous." Yun Xiao took out a small wooden stick with a small black head, rubbed it on a phosphorus skin, and a burst of green smoke rose and the small wooden stick actually burned.

Liu Cheng looked at the jumping orange flames, and took a few steps back in fright. Seeing that the flames were extinguished, he hurriedly pushed his bodyguard out, thought about it and dragged it back, grabbing this guy by the neck and threatening, for example, if you dare to say it, I will do what you want.

The guard swore an oath to the heavens and the earth, and even proved his determination to kill himself.

Yun Xiao stopped the guards who wanted to rip off their eyes, wasn't it just a match. The guard retreated with trepidation, and stood at the door of the tent, not daring to move around at will. (To be continued......)
