The box was loaded onto the wagon, and dozens of small sandbags were added around it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Liu Mu also instructed: "Once you find it, don't put out the fire and run away, you are just in the carriage to prevent people from approaching casually." Remember, remember, once you catch fire, flee quickly, don't hurt yourself. β
"Yes, Xie Xiaolangjun cares." The two pro-soldiers of the Wing Kingdom Mansion clasped their fists.
On the way north, Liu Mu went around to the Taoist temple by himself, took some gunpowder he had hidden, and other ingredients, and Dugu Shura did not have to guard the Taoist temple, and took his more than 100 elite men and horses to join the team as Liu Mu's family.
In the process of Liumu's detour, Gao Cheng, Cui Yiye, and Dou Shikuan actually rode horses, and each of them only brought two domestic servants to catch up.
"There will be a war there, and you are not afraid of death."
"Is it scary to die?" Although Cui Yiye is a famous son, he is not a timid person.
At this time in Datang, there were not many people who were afraid of death, whether it was a nobleman or a commoner.
"Well, there are only two requirements. First, stay away from the carriage with the red cloth strips. Second, stay away from the carriage with black strips of cloth. There's no reason, but don't blame those people for being black. Liu Mu said in particular.
Cui Yiye didn't think much about it, he just thought it was a saint's reward, so he didn't let people approach.
Two days later, the northbound procession passed through Huayuan County, and the carriage loaded with horseshoes was incorporated into the procession, and the Tang Emperor was still in Renzhi Palace, but he sent Peng Hai to the official road to bring his own message.
Peng Hai called Liu Mu to a remote place: "The sage decreed, unless it is a matter of life and death, it is absolutely not allowed to use the bamboo tube like a thunderbolt." Also, the miscellaneous family found out that you still have a carriage that no one is allowed to approach, what is that? β
"Bone-eating ghost fire. The things that are fried from the bones of pigs and sheep are very evil. Once that thing caught fire, it stuck to the body and burned with water, until it burned to the bone. Even if you can't burn to death, you will be poisoned by fire and die. But there seemed to be something wrong with the recipe, so only four were made. β
Peng Hai stretched out his hand and patted Liu Mu's head: "You stupid wood, can such an object be made?" Do you want to be stoned to death by the impeachment stamps of the imperial historians? β
Yanagi took out a box of matches: "I'm here for this." β
A small stick catches fire with a stroke, and the willow wood holds a match backwards, as if a flame appears from the palm of the hand.
Peng Hai took the box of matches and tried it, it was definitely the best thing to ignite.
"That thing is not allowed to be used, unless it is ......" Peng Hai was a little tempted, and said to Liu Mu in a low voice: "I will go and ask for a decree, if you have the opportunity to give Jieli a little, you will be allowed to use one." But disguise yourself so that no one will find out what you're using. β
Liu Mu nodded vigorously: "That thing is actually only the size of a walnut, and the outside is fire oil." β
"Clever. Remember the words of the miscellaneous family, the miscellaneous family has not invited you to the will, and it cannot be used unless it is a matter of life and death. The saint cared so much about the object that it was not yet known to the world. Peng Hai confessed again.
"Yes." Yanagi nodded.
Twenty more forbidden soldiers came to Willow's ranks.
Half of these 20 forbidden troops were military attachΓ©s above the seventh rank, and one of the leaders was still a military attache from the fourth rank. In this way, the captain of the forbidden army who originally led the team was naturally demoted by a few levels, from leading 300 people to only 50 people.
"This, Xue Wanbei, the saint personally ordered him to go north with you. The saint has a secret decree, if there is an accident, if the horseshoe cannot be destroyed, it will be buried, or it will sink into the river. Each of the 100 blacksmiths sent was carrying poison, and it was better to kill himself if he could not escape and be captured alive by the Turks. Peng Hai explained to Liu Mu.
Yanagi understood.
Strategic-level materials must not be known by the enemy, although it is cruel to kill people at critical times, but for the sake of the overall situation, sometimes you can't help but be ruthless.
And this Xue Wanbei should be the one who accepted the secret decree.
Peng Hai took out another scroll: "This is the holy decree, the holy decree to the Duke of Yiguo." The horses had an accident, and cutting off the horse's feet could not make the Turks find the horseshoe. β
"Yes!" After taking the willow wood, it is placed in a special wooden box, and then it is rolled into a wrapper and carried on his back.
"You get to know each other." Peng Hai motioned for Xue Wanbei to step forward.
Liu Mu hugged his fists first: "I have long heard that the five tigers of the Xue family are all heroic and extraordinary, and Mu is polite. β
"Wan Bei is polite, Mu Xiaolangjun has moved Chang'an several times, and he is also very admired. Especially that ......" Xue Wanbei stopped, and then said in a very low voice: "Horseshoe, I admire Xiao Langjun's wisdom even more." β
Peng Hai interrupted the politeness of the two: "Okay, let's hurry." β
Before Liu Mu got on the horse, Peng Hai grabbed Liu Mu again: "You remember the explanation of the miscellaneous family, it is not a matter of life and death." β
"Yes, absolutely not."
After the team set off, Xue Wanbei's gaze turned to two people dressed in household clothes.
Xue Wanbei is the fifth elder of the Xue family. His fame is not big, but in the top row, the fourth brother Xue Wanche is known as the first fierce man under Wei Chigong. The third brother Xue Wanjun went to the pillar country, the prince of Yong'an County, and made great achievements in the founding of the Tang Dynasty. The second brother Xue Wanshu is the general of the right leading army, the Duke of Liang County. The eldest brother, Xue Wanshu, inherited his father's title and is now the prince of the country.
And their father, Xue Shixiong, fought in the north and south before the establishment of the Great Sui, and when the Great Sui opened the palace with the three divisions, he fought countless battles in the northern frontier.
Fought with Tuyuhun and Turks. The three expeditions to Goguryeo also all joined the army.
The father and son of the Xue family are all top generals, although Xue Shixiong has passed away, but the five tigers of the Xue family are in a high position in the Tang Dynasty with their military exploits.
The youngest brother Xue Wanbei should not be underestimated, this is also the title of the county duke, and the rank of deputy general of the army.
Why did Xue Wanbei pay attention to the two family members.
He was a martial artist, and he could feel that these two were not below him, defeating him within ten rounds. One person hides a very strong murderous aura, and he is a peak martial artist. The other, however, has a very calm appearance, this is a wise and courageous figure.
Xue Wanbei looked at Liu Mu again, he couldn't understand how Liu Mu could make such a character writer.
These two people are certainly not unknown.
Thinking of this, Xue Wanbei suddenly raised his hand and hugged his fists: "Two, please." β
Dugu Shura, who was the first to return the salute, hugged his fists and saluted.
Then there was Su Dingfang, Su Dingfang smiled: "The general is polite, torture and kill the small people." β
"No, you're extraordinary." Xue Wanbei clasped his fists and saluted again: "Ben will go to inspect the team, please." β
"Please!" Su Dingfang also returned the salute.
Seeing Xue Wanbei riding away on horseback, Dugu Shura said: "He can't do it, his heart is a little impetuous." If he is the third brother or the fourth brother, he would like to give it a try. β
Su Dingfang smiled and didn't answer.
He is a criminal general, a descended general, and he has no merit at the moment, and he is not qualified to sit in the same room with these people.
Dugu Shura is different, he is a military attache on the fourth grade.
