"Father, does it really amuse you that you keep abusing me?"

Looking at the departing Li Minghao from afar, Li Yuanfu couldn't help but turn his back and touch the injuries behind his back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The wound was left half a month ago, and it has not healed until now, so that he can only crawl when he sleeps, so as not to squeeze the wound.

Since he was born, he has been abused like this, whipped, abused, spit on and even abandoned, many things have been experienced, and it can be regarded as a pity for him to survive all the way through ups and downs.

He didn't know, let alone know, and didn't want to understand what caused him to provoke such a catastrophe, but he only knew to cry, pray, wail, and even flatter, but all this did not stop his father's abuse, so until now only promises remained.

One says, one does.

It's as simple as that.

The sun was slanting, and in the blink of an eye, the sky was full of stars, and silver light sprinkled all over the earth.

In the distance, Li Minghao seemed to have come out of his previous anger, he had already called all his subordinates over, just like when he was in the desert, he gathered together, while shouting and drinking the roasted mutton and horse meat served by the soldiers next to him, while gulping spicy liquor, shouting loudly among each other, coupled with the "crackling" bonfire, it was a cheerful atmosphere.

It's just that Li Yuanfu stood quietly in the distance, trying to hide his body under the shadow of the candle, and the shadow from the bonfire swayed, but his figure was never illuminated.

In this celebratory scene, he felt like a passerby, no matter what kind of effort he put in, there was an invisible barrier, and he could not always fit in.

If you don't like me, why are you still here?

Li Yuanfu thought like this, and immediately turned around and left here without hesitation, one deep and one shallow, until it fell into the darkness.

"So you've been looking for you for a long time, but I didn't expect to find you here. At this moment, Zhang Hongfan's voice came from a distance.

Li Yuanfu couldn't help frowning, and asked in a low voice, "What are you looking for me?" The voice was cold, but guarded.

Appearing here at this time, what is this kid's idea?

"Just wanted to ask you something. Something about the firearms used by the Red Phoenix Army that you captured. Zhang Hongfan didn't notice anything wrong and continued to ask.

"Poof", Li Yuanfu laughed, he thought he had some intention, but he didn't expect it to be such a question?

"It seems that I was too nervous to think that everyone would be so serious about people, just like my father. Thinking in his heart, Li Yuanfu relaxed his guard and replied, "Firearms, what do you want to ask?"

"Where did you get those firearms? Zhang Hongfan's eyebrows were tightly locked, and his eyes were staring at the person in front of him.

Although they had firearms in their army, they couldn't help but make this firearm too roughly, and it was really different from the Red Phoenix Army, so they wanted to ask how the person in front of them got this firearm.

You must know that the Red Phoenix Army has always been strict in the management of firearms, and even if the artillery left behind is destroyed, it will never be captured by the enemy.

Moreover, although the two sides were united, they were strangers to each other, except for the exchange of military information, whether it was the property of the prisoners or the money and food consumed, all were paid to each other, so as not to cause disputes and even break the alliance.

Li Yuanfu shook his head and said with a smile: "You just want to know?"

"Of course!" Nodding, Zhang Hongfan was categorical, and a pair of sharp eyes were even more decisive, looking like he would not give up until he reached his goal.

"I see. Is it because you want to know that I have planted a spy in the red thief, or is it because the red thief sent these cannons here in order to win us over?" Li Yuanfu was about to refuse, but when he saw the other party's decisive appearance, the idea of teasing the other party suddenly occurred in his heart.

Zhang Hongfan was clear: "Is this really the case?"

"What does it look like?" Li Yuanfu casually retorted.

Zhang Hongfan opened his mouth and shouted: "The matter of your collusion with the Red Phoenix Army!"

"Haha. Raising his index finger, Li Yuanfu kept shaking his hand and replied sarcastically: "Don't forget, half of my father's troops were all lost in the hands of that red thief." With his temperament of 'loving the people like a son', how could he be connected with the Red Phoenix Army?"

Zhang Hongfan suddenly realized, and said again: "Do you have a spy in the red thief?"

Such a simple matter, but he knows that he can't figure it out now, this Li Yuanfu is really cunning like a snake.

"Even if you are a spy, you can't give us those cannons for nothing. Rolling his eyes, Li Yuanfu only felt extremely bored: "And you don't know that those cannons are all discarded and useless at all." It's not bad if you don't hurt the innocent, but how can you still expect to go into battle and kill the enemy?"

If this guy in front of him is at this level, then he might as well find a place to rest.

But Zhang Hongfan was in a hurry, and when he saw that Li Yuanfu was about to leave, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed the other party's sleeve, and shouted in a low voice: "In that case, how did you get these artillery?"

"Really want to know?"

"Of course!"

"I'm sorry, it's my secret, I don't want to say. ”

Waving Zhang Hongfan's hand away, Li Yuan readjusted his sleeves, turned around and left.

In the middle of the night, he was finally gone.

In the distance, Zhang Hongfan's face turned red, and he felt even more annoyed and angry, and shouted in a low voice: "This guy, are you trying to trick me?" After a night of interrogation, he didn't ask anything, which was really discouraged.

He wanted to continue to ask, but unfortunately Li Yuanfu had already disappeared from the surroundings, and he didn't know how to look for it.

In desperation, Zhang Hongfan had no choice but to return to the camp.

As for the artillery, I'll talk about it later.

When he returned to the camp, he saw that the main tent camp was still brightly lit, and he was worried about his father's injury, and that his father's explanation had not yet been completed, so he went into the main tent with guilt.

Lifting the curtain, Zhang Hongfan saw that the lights were bright in front of him.

That's because on this ground, there are hundreds of fire candles burning, they are arranged on the ground according to the appearance of the five elements of gossip, all of them are burning with raging fires, and the overflowing fragrance permeates the entire space, which makes people feel that the whole body is transparent, as if they are above the clouds of the fairy sea.

And in this incense candle, the Rou Zheng sat cross-legged, his hands spread out on his knees, and from time to time the burning fragrance was incorporated into his body, his eyes were slightly closed, and a looming figure appeared behind him, and the figure became clearer and clearer with his breathing, until now he had begun to see some clear traces.

"Father!"

Entering it, Zhang Hongfan's footsteps immediately slowed down, and his voice dropped a lot, lest he accidentally blow out the incense candle.

He knew that since his father fought with Xiao Feng, the leader of the red thieves, a few days ago, because of the old injuries in his body, he had to always set up these five elements gossip locking array, and use each of these ambergris incense from the West Sea, which was worth ten taels of silver at that time, to continue his life, and stay in this military tent every day to recuperate, so as to maintain his body from collapse.

Xuantong like Xiao Feng, who can regain youth and live forever, is still a minority after all.

Hearing Zhang Hongfan's voice, Zhang Rou slowly opened her eyes and asked, "Do you have a situation about artillery?"

"Tell the father that the child is incompetent and has not found out the news of the other party. Zhang Hongfan suddenly knelt on the ground, looking sad.

When his father was seriously injured, he could not help his father and solve the things he was told, which was really unbearable for his life.

Zhang Rou shook her head and replied kindly: "It's okay! You just need to continue to send people to keep an eye on each other, and you can always find some clues." Thinking about it, he suddenly asked, "By the way, do you know what Li Minghao has done in recent days?"

"Moves?" Zhang Hongfan was puzzled, thought about it carefully and said, "Is it okay to eat, drink and have fun with the generals in the army every day?"

Zhang Rou looked at Zhang Hongfan helplessly: "Do you think this counts?"

"Not really. Zhang Hongfan only felt ashamed, and couldn't help but lower his head: "That guy didn't do anything else recently except for appearing during the siege of the city and shooting from afar, and he always got together with his generals." ”

Zhang Rou's eyes couldn't help wrinkling, but she said, "If that's the case, then I'm afraid of danger." ”

"What's going on?" Zhang Hongfan was puzzled, and he didn't know what the connection was.

Zhang Rou explained: "You must know that this Li Minghao is a descendant of the Western Xia royal family, when the Mongolian Khan Genghis Khan attacked the Western Xia, because he coveted the beauty of the Western Xia princess, he brought this woman into the palace in an attempt to rape. But he didn't expect that the princess of Xixia was very strong, and she was accidentally bitten off for a while, so that she was killed. Therefore, Wo Kotai, who inherited the throne, was furious and ordered all the Western Xia party members to be killed. And Li Minghao was lucky to survive because he surrendered to Mongolia before. However, how can the vengeance of the clan be easily eliminated? Now the Great Khan also knows about this, so he has been suppressing this person to prevent him from rebelling because of the feud. ”

"So that's the case, no wonder why my father is always wary of Li Minghao, there is such a reason. Hearing this, Zhang Hongfan suddenly realized why his father and Shi Tianze were always worried about this Li Minghao, it turned out that there was such a reason.

"That's right. ”

Nodding, Zhang Rou felt a little dull in her chest, and couldn't help coughing before she spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm.

I saw a little blood donation in the thick phlegm, which showed the seriousness of his physical injuries at the moment.

Seeing this, Zhang Hongfan immediately nervously stepped over the candle, came to Zhang Rou's side and helped him up, and asked nervously, "Father, are you okay?"

But at this time, Zhang Rou waved her hand, her sleeves rolled up a gust of wind, and she blew out all the fire candles on the ground, and said slowly: "Don't worry, I can't die yet." ”

"But father. Why are you—" Zhang Hongfan was surprised and asked again.

"It's too much. My injury didn't happen overnight, as early as when I was a child, I was able to stay because of the competition, but I was spied on by that Meng Heng so that I succeeded with a knife, and although Xiao Feng's magical power was good, it couldn't shake my vajra law body. It only needs a little recuperation, and it can be recovered naturally. ”

Waving his hand again and again, Zhang Rou straightened up again and continued: "It's just that I didn't expect that the Red Phoenix Army suddenly appeared, and it took advantage of the fact that the army under my Great Khan was distributed in all directions, and the central air suddenly rose up, and we were all completely stunned. It is absolutely impossible to get the troops who are going to the west to come back to help, and even I was pinned down by the Southern Dynasty and could not return in a short period of time, so I had no choice but to let this Li Minghao go on the expedition. ”

Zhang Hongfan scolded unconsciously: "The leader of the red thief is insidious, and he will find the right time." As for that Meng Heng, it is also generally sinister. If it's a head-to-head duel, how can he be his father's opponent?"

If it weren't for the frequent use of troops by the Mongols, the main army was all fighting with others, how could the Red Phoenix Army develop to this stage?

As for that Meng Hui?

If it weren't for this person taking advantage of his father's old wounds, how could he succeed in one blow and thwart the entire Mongol invasion of the Song Dynasty?

"Soldiers, treacherous ways, and martial arts are the same. I can't blame that person, if I would have chosen this time, I can only say that because I have waited for a series of victories, I have lost my eyes, thinking that no one in this world can fight against my army. Just as I thought that my vajra Dharma body was round and had no flaws, it was also broken by that Meng Henghe. You need to keep this in mind. ”

Zhang Rou didn't care, but explained: "Of course, it is not without remedies now. If the Great Khan is willing to stop using troops, consolidate his foundation and recuperate, he will naturally not be in such a situation in the future, even if he can protect the country for a hundred years. But if you still insist on using troops, you are afraid that the building will overturn, and it will be imminent. ”

"The father's teachings, the children take them to heart. Zhang Hongfan replied immediately.

Although Zhang Rou's words explained the reason, it did not mean to teach him how to act in the future.

Full of relief, Zhang Rou relieved her heart: "As for Li Minghao, of course, Your Majesty also has the intention of driving away the wolf and the tiger, and wants to use this Li Minghao to fight the red thief, and even more so to weaken Li Minghao's power with the power of the red thief." The reason for this, that guy naturally understands, in order to get out of the predicament, this person will definitely act secretly in order to make a comeback. That's what I'm letting you spy on them. ”

"I see!"

Zhang Hongfan suddenly realized that he already knew the reason why his father let him do this.

"That's right. And you also know that in recent days, there have been so many more artillery belonging to the Red Phoenix Army in the air in the opposing army. And we have been fighting fiercely with the Red Phoenix Army for more than a month, but we have not obtained a single firearm, and the degree of difficulty can be seen. In that case, how did they get these guns?Why do you need to find out, do you know?" At the mention of this, he was already confused, and even more frightened by what was hidden in Qizhong Village.

Zhang Hongfan immediately replied: "The child should remember that he will definitely live up to his father's trust. ”
