() Chapter 141 External Worries and Civil War
"Presumptuous, my master heard the name of the poppy, and deliberately came all the way from Linghui, you actually fooled around here and didn't want to live. The full-text ad-free novel is all on Aishang Novel Network biquge.info()"
It wasn't Zilawi who spoke, but the men that Zilawi had brought. They had already rehearsed it. When they should say what they should say and what they should do, they have already calculated.
After saying this, the subordinate directly pulled out the steel knife. Huang Laobustard's estimate was not wrong, this time, she saw not gold coins, but knives.
"General, please calm your anger, listen to me' Huang Laobuar has fought a lot in the field, and she is not afraid of a few earthen cannons, but she can't stand this knife. The face will be white, and the pretended snorting will be gone.
"Mama Huang. Zilawi interrupted Huang Laobustard's words again in the voice of the Yin Owl, "Do you still want to play tricks with me? Don't think that I don't know, the poppy has already accepted the invitation of the imperial capital, and today is the last game in Le Tong City, and tomorrow she will set off for the imperial capital." Today, no matter what, I have to see the poppy, and you can do it yourself. β
Zilawi's words are much calmer than those of his subordinates. But Huang Laobustard heard his words, but his heart was furious. Things have developed to this point, even if Huang Laobuar is stupid, he can see it. The person in front of him is here to make trouble. At the same time, she also guessed that this person was the major general of the Blizzard Legion.
Since this Zilawi can find out that the poppy is leaving Tongle tomorrow, then he must also be able to find out who the poppy is singing to now.
Huang Laobuxing's heart flashed a few times, and she understood that this matter was not something that she could manage well. This time it's the prince fighting the prince, they are chickens and birds, if they want not to harm the pond fish, it's best to flash out of the way.
"I know, I know what to do. General, please wait a moment, I'll go and go back. After Huang Laobustard finished speaking, he didn't care whether Qi Lawei agreed or not, and immediately turned around and ran.
Sima Wushu was listening to the song, and was interrupted by Huang Laobustard, and his heart was called a fire. slapped Huang Laobustard's face: "Didn't you say that no one is allowed to disturb, your brain is in water"
Sima Invincible's blow was not light, and half of Huang Laobustard's face was suddenly swollen. Don't mention the bitterness in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it at all, and forced a smile and said, "How dare I disturb the young master's Yaxing, I have no choice but to do it, young master." β
"Tell me what's going on. If you can't come up with a reason why I won't kill you, you'll wash your hands and die. "Sima Invincible is a descendant, although he has now recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, but his cultivation is not much better, and there is nothing good to say when he speaks.
Huang Lao Bustard hurriedly said: "That's the case, Qi Lawei of the Qingzhou Blizzard Legion downstairs came to make trouble, he knew that you were listening to the poppy singing, so he had to let the poppy go down to accompany him." β
"There is such a thing. Zilawi's shit, did his teeth grow out again, and he actually came to pick Lao Tzu's fire again. Sima Wushu glanced at Yu Meiren and frowned. Seriously, although he wanted to kill Zilawi in his heart now, he was a little reluctant to go downstairs and face Zilawi. Because he was addicted to listening to music and didn't want to leave.
This poppy is such a remarkable figure, and no matter how many princes and ministers in the imperial capital want to take her into the house, they can't get it. She will return to the imperial capital tomorrow, and if she wants to hear her sing again, she doesn't know when she will have a chance.
Huang Laobustard saw that Sima Invincible actually endured this breath unusually, and couldn't help but be secretly anxious. Na Qi Lavi is obviously coming for Sima Invincible, if she can't let Sima Invincible go down, she won't be able to live today's day.
Thinking of this, Huang Laobustard's heart began to bubble with bad water. After decades of wind and dust, Huang Lao Bustard can't do anything else, and she can't stir up fire. Qi Lawei below scared her, and Sima Invincible above beat her, didn't she have fire in her heart?
'Old lady will let you dog-eat-dog today.' After making up his mind, Huang Lao Bustard began to act. Although she is not a relative of the Sima family, she knows what Sima Invincible hates the most.
I only heard this Huang Lao Bustard say: "Qi Lawei not only came to provoke, but scolded so badly, I don't dare to sue you." β
I don't dare to sue sΓΉ, this is even more infuriating than saying it directly.
"What did he say about that bastard?" Sima Invincible was already on fire, and this time the fire was even bigger.
"He scolded you, young master, this was said by Zilawi, but it was not what I said. Huang Laobuar was afraid that Sima Invincible's fire was not big enough, so he used words to stimulate Sima Invincible.
"What he said. Sima Invincible's brain was pounding with anger, and he already had a premonition in his heart about what Qi Lawei was talking about. He said that half a year ago.
Huang Lao Bustard sneered in his heart, seeing that Sima Wu's anger had already burned, so he made a joke with an indignant expression: "Qi Lavi said that he said that you are a seed, and also said that he went to your mother when he was a child, and if you can't get it, he is still his son." He also said that "
Just such a sentence was enough for Sima Invincible to jump violently, and he said, and he didn't listen to anything. Even if Sima Wushu likes to listen to music again, he won't be able to listen to it anymore, so he rushed downstairs with a whoa.
Huang Laobustard looked at the back of Sima Invincible leaving in a hurry, and felt a moment of pride in his heart, and then a burst of fear. She was also angry just now, so she said something like that. What if Zilawi said that he hadn't said that kind of thing, no, he had to hurry over and find a way to get them to fight directly, and he definitely couldn't let them have the possibility of reconciliation.
Before rushing out of the door, Huang Laobuar couldn't help but glance at Yu Meiren, knowing that when he was young, he would also fight for an Oiran. Look at the people, at a young age, there are so many high-ranking families to protect them, just sing and sing songs every day, and they don't even have to let people touch their bodies, so they make a lot of money. How can you be like yourself, you are old, you have to be a bustard in order to live.
If Hu Wei was here, looking at Yu Meiren like Huang Laobu, he would definitely be shocked at first, and then his eyes would fall off.
Who is this poppy?
Of course Hu Wei knows, not only does he know, but also because of her appearance, he got Ouyang Hanbing at the Columbia Military Academy, do you say he doesn't know him?
That's right, this poppy beauty is the one in the Cuihong Mansion in Meigui Town, the Qing official who gave money to Hu Wei but couldn't get on, the woman who looks very much like Ouyang Hanbing, the princess of the Ningnan Empire - Isabelle.
So why did Isabel become a poppy?
That day, Hu Wei gave money because of the emergency recruitment order, and he really didn't hurry to order Isabelle's incense lamp, and he didn't go back to the Cuihong Mansion after that, so he didn't know that Isabel also left there on the day he left the Cuihong Mansion.
Like a gust of wind, she disappeared from people's sight, and it was not until three months ago, at the annual Mandala Empire Oiran Contest, that she reappeared, winning the name of Oiran in one fell swoop with the famous song of the former and the latter master. Her name is still Isabelle, but because of her good singing, people who like her call her poppy.
As for why Isabel left the Emerald Red Mansion, where she went after that, why she participated in the Oiran Competition, how she became famous in one fell swoop, from a girl in the Green House to a songwriter who everyone flocks to, these mysteries will have to be slowly solved in the future.
Let's just talk about Sima Invincible rushing downstairs.
Huang Laobu's worries were completely superfluous, Sima Wushu was already angry, so what would he talk to Qilawi about whether he had scolded those words. When Sima Invincible saw Qi Lavi, he immediately made a move.
Although this is Sima Invincible's territory, Qi Lawei came prepared this time, and he wanted to knock out a few people's front teeth as soon as he came up, and it couldn't happen all the time.
Sima Invincible was beaten by Qi Lawei this time, Qi Lawei only brought more than a dozen people on the surface, but in fact he brought more than a hundred. The evil anger in his heart has been held back for half a year, will he have a chance to vent, but he won't vent enough?
As soon as Sima Invincible appeared, Qilawi's men went up. Sima Wushu came to Qinghualou to play today, and this is his territory, so he is very relieved, but he brought three or four subordinates, and bumped into Qi Lawei's scheming heart, and he suffered a big loss at once. He was beaten so badly that even her mother couldn't recognize who he was.
Qi Lawei led people to beat Sima Invincible, and the cool in his heart was even cooler than being seven times a night. In the end, he spat on Sima Wuving's face, and then swaggered and led people out of Qinghualou.
After all, he was a man of one dynasty, Sima Wushu didn't kill him last time, and he didn't think about killing Sima Wuving, but he just broke a few more teeth of Sima Wuving.
Not to mention the pig's head of Qilavi, after he beat Sima Invincible, he didn't want to return to the order immediately, but instead didn't look for the Qinglou, and was ready to treat the more than 100 people under him.
Qi Lawei didn't want to think about whose territory was here, and he didn't carefully understand Sima Invincible's belief. A person who has been humiliated and humiliated since he was a child, the way they think about problems is something that people like Zilawi, who have enjoyed care and brought up since childhood, can understand.
Last time, Sima Invincible didn't kill Qi Lavi, it was because he had the upper hand and got advantaged, so he didn't kill him. This time, Sima Invincible was beaten like this, what else do you talk about whether to kiss your hometown or not, a compatriot from a country?
Before Qi Lavi's celebration wine was finished, the green building where he was located caught fire. Outside the burning green building, three thousand archers, waiting with their bows, it is said that no one in the entire green building came out alive
"What? Sumata sent troops to attack Le Tong City? Are you sure you're not joking?" Hu Wei looked at Zhu Daneng's big face, and for a while, he couldn't come back to his senses. Could it be that there is also an April Fool's Day in the Tianfeng Continent this day?
Between the military and the land, although there are fights from time to time because of the territory and their respective interests. But those were all skirmishes, and I had never heard of them, and they used the strength of the whole army to attack the local cities. The joke was a bit too big.
Zhu Daneng didn't want to believe it at first, but the truth couldn't help but let him not believe it. After he had finished laughing, he said with a stern face: "This is a true fact. The news was first sent to me through the secret channel of Hou Santong GuΓ². I didn't get the news that this was the case, so I checked through other channels, and it was true. The first 20,000 troops had already begun to attack the city at this time. β
Hu Wei saw that Zhu Daneng was indeed not joking, and put away his smile. Seriously, he asked, "What happened?"
Why did Sumadal attack Tongle City, this is the point. Sumatal is not a fool, nor did he take the wrong medicine, and he has nothing to play with friendly forces.
Without a suitable reason, even if Valencia is not strong in controlling the legion now, Sumendal will not be happy. To put it mildly, this is tantamount to rebellion
Zhu Daneng shook his head and said, "What happened specifically, there is no way to confirm it on our side now." Judging from the news received, it was the people of Tongle City who killed Qilawi. β
"Zilawi is dead?" Hu Wei glared again, thought for a while, nodded and said, "I think this is extremely likely, and only in this way can Sumatra's crazy behavior be explained."
Zilawi is a person, although his ability is not very good. But after all, he was Sumatra's only son. Even the seed has been cut off by others, can he not be in a hurry?"
Zhu Daneng agreed: "It seems that this should be the case." My lord, what should we do next? β
Hu Wei asked, "Have we received an appointment?"
Zhu Daneng shook his head and said, "No." β
Hu Wei said: "That's not it, since Sumendal has no intention of asking us to go, we are pretending to be stupid, practicing what should be practiced, eating what should be eaten, and they have nothing to do with dog-eat-dog." β
"Is this okay?" Zhu Daneng said strangely: "My lord, don't you go and take a look?"
Hu Wei said with a smile: "I won't wade into this troubled water." Let them call, we don't have to care, we can't care. β
Don't say that you can't manage it, even if you can manage it, you won't be able to manage it. Within this empire, for the sake of emotion, the army is used as a private arm, and the matter of venting personal hatred is not involved. He didn't want the first battle of the Independent Regiment to fight such a confused battle.
Temporarily deciding his position, Hu Wei thought of another thing, and stopped and asked Zhu Daneng:
"By the way, how are our crossbows made, aren't they good?"
What Hu Wei ordered to build was a single-shot crossbow with mature technology. There should be a problem with the design of the combo crossbow, and it is still being refitted, and it will not be on the agenda for a while.
Zhu Daneng also stopped and said, "It's not good yet." According to your orders, you have to fight a thousand pairs, and I have seen it the other day. Only a little over 500 pairs have been completed so far. This Jiangdou Village is too small to find so many blacksmiths. β
Hu Wei didn't want to fight a thousand pairs, but a thousand pairs first. According to his plan, all the soldiers should have a crossbow in their hands.
However, for a while, he couldn't take out so much money, so he could only use a thousand pairs first. In the future, I will slowly figure out a way.
"It's only more than five hundred, didn't you sue me last time, it's already more than four hundred, why has it increased by more than one hundred in so many days?"
Now Sumathal is fighting with Tongle City because of his son's incident. No matter who wins or loses in the end, for the Mandala Empire, it is all self-defeating strength.
Now although the million-strong army on Anrong's side has been withdrawn, they are all empire's ambitions. It has never been abated. They are ready to go to the Mandala Empire again at any time.
Sumatal and Letong hit each other like this, and the balance that was finally formed was broken again. The decline of one country means that another, or several neighboring countries, will benefit. They were all waiting in anticipation, ready to open their mouths at any moment.
With Hu Wei's current strength, he can't influence the current situation. The only thing he can do now is to keep improving his strength. And a crossbow is the best way to do it.
Zhu Daneng replied: "This speed is already very fast, and the craftsmanship of this crossbow is different from ordinary knives and guns." It's not a one-time molding, you can use it when you take it out. β
What Hu Wei designed for Lu You to make, Hu Wei himself certainly understood the complexity of this crossbow. For a blacksmith to make a crossbow, he must first strike at least two dozen or so wholes, or small parts. Then assemble the scattered parts to make the crossbow. This series of actions is much more difficult than hitting a kitchen knife.
However, he knew that he would not allow this to be used as an excuse to delay the assembly of troops for too long. You know, in order to make crossbows, he canceled the archers in the army, and used the military expenses to buy bows and arrows. At present, except for twenty or thirty bows and arrows for training and study, there is no long-range strike power in the army.
Qingzhou was briefly calm before, but it was better. Now that Sumatdar is stirring up trouble, who knows what problems will arise in the future.
Don't wait for the troops to go to the battlefield, this crossbow has not been matched yet, then it will be a big trouble. You must know that the independent regiment has no cavalry because of Sumendar's suppression, and if there are no long-range attack weapons, it will be a lot of fun.
Thinking of this, Hu Wei gritted his teeth and said:
"We can't wait like this, and immediately distribute the crossbows that have been built as training weapons. Let the soldiers take turns learning the techniques they should use.
In addition, let Lu You do some classification, select those parts that are not very important, and send people to nearby towns and ask the blacksmiths there to help process them.
Also, send some people to do the work for the blacksmiths, and if you find any blacksmiths interested in joining us, bring them back. Treatment or something, plus seniors. We must build the power of the crossbow before the outbreak of chaos."
"Rush, rush, kill me" Sumental personally commanded the troops and attacked Tongle City. The blow of losing his son made his already gray hair turn white overnight.
Sima Shou was sweating in his head, and shouted up and down: "Resist, resist me." Sumadar he is crazy, crazy. Send 800 miles to expedite, no, send 1,000 miles to expedite God, I will make this old boy. β
The first civil war of the Mandala Empire was fought in full swing. It was the first civil war, but it was definitely not the last
