Lanterns with the word "Xi" hung in the air, illuminating the figures celebrating behind the silk veil, and occasionally there was a lively sound from it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On a wide Shenzhou that is more than 30 zhang long, it is already full of people, all gathered in the pavilion in the center. In the crisp autumn weather, rafting in the canals and admiring the vast and magnificent natural beauty around you is not something that ordinary people can achieve.

In this world, there are people fighting on the battlefield, some people are wandering in the countryside, some people are working in the fields, and some people are desperately fighting against the storm, rain and flood, but there are also people who are immersed in the drunken beauty and drunkenness in the banquet of intoxicating smoke and bamboo, and cannot extricate themselves.

That's about the things of the world!

Between rich and poor, it is always inevitable.

Sitting on top of this Shenzhou courtyard, Cao Yun, the leader of the Liejiao Gang, was naturally the lucky one among them.

He doesn't have to struggle with the villagers and displaced people in the countryside like soldiers and bandits, disasters and disasters, he has always been insulated from poverty and struggle when he was a teenager, and since he surrendered to Mongolia, he has relied on the power of Mongolia to sweep away many forces in Shandong, and pinch the entire Cao Yun in his hands, which can be described as unparalleled for a while.

Now, Cao Yunhe looked at the heroes who were sitting in silence, and here there were those long-known rangers, there were also heroes entrenched in the localities, and there were even bureaucrats who had served in the government, and their only purpose was to celebrate themselves again.

"All of you are here today to give me someone Cao a face. In that case, how can I let the rank be disappointed?" couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and raised the wine glass in his hand high: "Come, everyone toast." ”

After that, the wine glass was poured, and the sour numbness on the tip of the tongue immediately appeared, making the whole person transparent and extremely comfortable.

In the full hall, the guests also drank it all, which was really unpleasant.

In the blink of an eye, one person stood up and said happily: "Gang Master Cao, isn't there another person in the family who is going to have another person in your family at this banquet today?" If this is the case, it will be your thirteenth concubine. ”

"Feng Lingzi. It's no wonder that in the rivers and lakes, everyone says that you are 'the ear in the wind and the eye in the cloud', and nothing can be hidden from you. ”

Smiling again and again, Cao Yun shook his head, as if immersed in the time when he met the girl that day: "I went out a few days ago, and I met a beautiful woman in a farmstead. At that time, the woman had a child with her, saying that she was going to sell herself to bury her father. I had pity for a moment, so I helped her bury her dead parents in the ground, and then she was bullied by others, so I took them as concubines, so that she could be sheltered from the wind and rain. ”

Everyone congratulated in unison, and the scene rose into a cheerful air.

Cao Yun looked at the joy of everyone, and immediately stood up, but said: "Of course, the more important thing is to thank this benefactor!" The voice fell, and the two of them entered from the curtain next to them, looking at their appearance, who were Jiang Li and Wuqing in Fenzhou, who were the infiltrators?

"Benefactor?"

Feng Lingzi couldn't help but be surprised, and asked: "I have always known about the heroes of the Jiangbei generation, and I know that if anyone sees them, they will know the name, origin and martial arts realm of the other party. When I saw two people today, I was very face-to-face, but I didn't know who they were?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Jiang Li immediately began to fabricate two names, and said: "In Xia Hate Heaven Lock Lishui Yes, this is my brother Heartbreaker Ge Qing! He said these words without cowardice, without a trace of flaws.

After all, it's a mess, if you don't even have this bit of alertness, how dare you set foot here?

"That's the case, then why don't you serve in the Southern Dynasty, but come to my north?" "Oh" With an oh sound, Feng Lingzi changed his tone and immediately asked.

"No way. The court is really stupid and incompetent, especially the corrupt official, who is even more shameless, in order to be able to rob other people's land, he actually ordered us to do the thing of roosters and dogs. After being vetoed, he fabricated evidence to frame us and put our two brothers in prison. As a last resort, we can only escape and see if we can find a good place in the north. Without blinking, Jiang Li immediately said what he had already prepared.

"That's right. That's why I said you squatting in the corner, don't be suspicious all the time, otherwise why would you shave yourself? In this case, wouldn't you lose a lot of fun out of thin air?" Pointing to Feng Lingzi's bald head, which was already half-bald, Cao Yun joked straightforwardly, and as if to strengthen everyone's minds, he slapped the table again and said: "And I got their help before, so I beat the red demon back and kept my ten boats of grain." Otherwise, I'll let them come here?"

"This is also true! And the Cao Gang Master is incomparably benevolent and righteous, how can he look at the wrong person?"

"That's right. If the two of them are righteous and save each other, how can they drive people out?"

"Even if you are extremely powerful, how can you see anyone clearly?"

“............”

The rest of the people coaxed one after another, but it made the Feng Lingzi stand in the scene a little embarrassed.

His habit of eavesdropping on other people's privacy has always been feared, after all, anyone must have his own personal privacy, if he is easily let others eavesdrop, it is simply a bolt from the blue, and no one can bear it.

"The Red Demon, is the Red Demon here too?"

He raised his voice suddenly, but another person opened his mouth to ask, this person was about twenty years old, dressed in a cyan robe, and also held a sword in his hand. It's just that for some reason, at this moment, he has a cold sweat on his face, as if he is in fear.

"That's right. It was the Red Demon who appeared and wanted to destroy the tanker ship with artillery. ”

Cao Yun replied, and his words were also full of gratitude for the appearance of Jiang Li and Wu Qing: "At that time, I was fortunate to have these two righteous men to save me, otherwise I am afraid that all my trough ships would be destroyed behind each other's backs." ”

"But the Red Demon is here. ”

But the man kept shaking his head, as if he had lost his mind.

Nodding, Cao Yun waved his hand, and immediately asked a few people to carry a tiger squat cannon into the lobby, he pointed to the iron pipe and said, "That's right." This is the weapon used by the other party, probably because it was too heavy, so it was left there, and I brought it back. And the other party is just a trace, even if there is an enemy, we will definitely knock the other party back, just like I did before. ”

Everyone also laughed loudly: "That's right." You must know that our marshal is currently leading the army to exterminate the other side, how can we let the other side fight here? Those guys must be just a group of bandits who are lucky enough to get here. wants to defeat the other party by hijacking food, so it can be seen that the red demon must be poor in donkey skills. ”

But these words provoked an almost crazy answer from this person.

"No, you don't understand! You don't understand. ”

"What don't you understand?"

"First the legend, then some deeds, and then at the end someone will sing his words, and by the time we react, they will have a knife across your neck. You don't understand the horror of the Red Demon!"

"It's as if it's true. ”

"If they come back, they will definitely come!"

In the face of everyone's ridicule in unison, this person couldn't help it after all, and immediately staggered out of the lobby, not knowing where to go.

"Who's that man?"

Jiang Li looked at this person with a little face, not a person he was familiar with, so he was very curious about this person's identity.

Cao Yun immediately said: "His name is Wang Shi, and he is the king of Luzhou City. It's a pity that the royal power was involved in the rebellion of the Red Phoenix Army and died, and he sent this son out before he died, wanting to continue the family. Alas, it's a pity that although he survived, he went crazy!"

"I see. ”

With his eyes slightly condensed, Jiang Li looked at the Wang Shi and muttered slightly.

For some reason, he always felt that that Wang Shi was a little strange, and it might cause obstacles in his future actions, so he made a little note in his heart. Although there are such episodes, this is a wedding banquet after all, and it will quickly drive away the dullness just now, and return to the world of singing and laughter just now.

Jiang Li and Wu Qing were arranged by Cao Yun in a remote and empty place.

After sitting down, Wu Qing looked around left and right, and when he saw that there was no one, he immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Big brother, why are we coming here?" In order to prevent being eavesdropped by others, he deliberately lowered his voice to ensure that others would not listen to him.

"You should have received instructions from Commander Xiao. ”

Jiang Li looked around, and immediately saw Feng Lingzi in the distance, looking at the two of them with interest.

In order to prevent being eavesdropped by this person, Jiang Li immediately dipped his hand in some water and wine, and kept writing on the table: "Is it for us to give up our previous purpose and specifically spy on the intelligence here?"

"That's it. ”

Wu Qing immediately suddenly, also dipped in some wine, and began to write.

When he finished writing, he immediately erased it, and even if others were trying to peep, it would never make it clear what they were doing.

"You know, too. With the current strength of the Red Phoenix Army, although it is indeed a temporary defeat to the Mongolian military, if the stalemate continues, it will be extremely difficult to fight against the more than 12,000 soldiers and horses of the He monk Badu. Coupled with the 5,000 soldiers and horses that have arrived in Pingyang Mansion so far, a total of 17,000 soldiers and horses are more than double the Chifeng Army. How can 7,000 against 17,000 soldiers and horses be accomplished?"

"Even if there is a tiger squat cannon, it can't work?"

"Although there are tiger squat artillery, the production of gunpowder is insufficient, and it is categorically unable to meet the needs of the war. ”

"That's true! You know, even we only have about thirty pounds, and when we run out, we won't be gone. ”

Wu Qing immediately fell silent, but he remembered the tiger squat cannon he saw in the Red Phoenix Army, of course, the demand for gunpowder for this tiger squat cannon was too fierce, and it took seven or eight taels to be fired once, so after several battles, they didn't have much gunpowder to carry.

This gunpowder was made by Xiao Feng before the army started, needless to say, the proportion of black gunpowder was made when she was a child, and even the round handcuff of the tiger squat cannon was made early, but it was quite troublesome when it was mass-produced.

Needless to say, even skilled workers are scarce, so it has not been able to go smoothly.

And when she decided to revolt in Luzhou, she had been secretly collecting saltpeter, sulfur and coal, and after years of exploration, she figured out the specific production process of black powder, and successfully realized the research on the granularization of black powder, and before the uprising, she had hoarded more than 10,000 catties, which were ready to be used to blow up the city wall.

It's just that I didn't expect the war to progress so quickly, so it didn't consume much, but after the artillery was successfully manufactured, it came in handy immediately.

And after a series of fierce battles, the consumption of gunpowder has dropped dramatically, and half of it has been used up now!

"That's right. It is precisely because of this that the Tartar is afraid, and he does not dare to go out to battle with the city gates closed. It can't be helped, it's because the artillery is too powerful for them to withstand. Writing this, Jiang Li suddenly found that in his mind, Xiao Feng's original appearance of being just a naughty boy had disappeared, but he had become the heroic female who was now on the throne and overlooking the world.

The world is changing, it's really unpredictable!

Wu Qing was also embarrassed.

When he and Xiao Feng fought side by side, he only felt that this woman had a bold temperament and was not like an ordinary woman.

At that time, he was still sorry for this, thinking that a handsome girl would fall because of this, but he never thought that ten years had passed in the blink of an eye, and this woman had actually done such a thing. Rebellion in the heart of Mongolia is truly legendary.

"That's why the other side will turn forces and prepare to attack from somewhere else?"

"That's right. Although there is artillery to help, the Red Phoenix Army is too thin after all. The territory under its jurisdiction is only five states, the population is only more than 300,000 people, and the available soldiers and horses are less than 10,000. Once it encounters defeat, it will be broken and broken, and coupled with the cruel methods of Mongolia, I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover. ”

"So that's the case, is it any wonder that we came here to spy on the enemy?" thoughtfully, Wu Qing's eyes rolled and swept over the ranks present.

You need to know that these people in front of you are all high-class people in Fenzhou City, and ordinary people are definitely difficult to reach. If the two of them were not for their skills, they would definitely not be accepted, and they would even be recommended to come here.

"That's right. Although this incident made Wang Yunde bear a crime, it also allowed us to sneak in here smoothly. After all, this place is heavily guarded, how can it sneak in secretly if it is not for the use of the bitter meat trick? Moreover, the other party will definitely need to use the power of this Fierce Jiao Gang to transfer food, transport weapons, and even transfer troops. After all, if it is to transport grain and grass and transfer troops, is there anything more convenient than transporting it?"

"It seems that the girl really had a foresight. ”

"That's right. Now, we can only take one step at a time. ”

His brows were furrowed, and Jiang Li had thought about it in every possible way, but he couldn't figure out how to solve this dead knot.

In the face of such a dead knot, what is Xiao Feng doing?

He doesn't quite understand either! )
