Zhang Xiaowu asked Wang Yijin to take off the deceased's pants. Wang Yijin was puzzled, but he still took off the deceased's pants obediently. Zhang Xiaowu greeted everyone, pointed to the man's legs and said: "This man is indeed Han, look at his thighs
The inner side has been bruised with blood due to lack of horse riding." He stood up and concentrated, and suddenly stared at Chen Boqing and said: "Master Chen, before I always thought that the bandits came for the caravan, but today it seems,
The bandits have other plans."
Chen Boqing frowned and said: "Having other plans means..."
Zhang Xiaowu pointed at the Han corpse and said: "This man has fine skin and tender flesh. He should be of noble status, but he has blended into the bandits. The bandits usually number thirty to fifty or several hundred people. After all, supplies are scarce on the grassland and there are many bandits."
Even if the looted property is not enough, they may even die of hunger and thirst. But there were thousands of them last night. It was probably like a dozen gangs gathered together - do you understand what I mean?"
Chen Boqing stroked his beard and said solemnly: "They are here for the Gu family."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "I'm not sure whether it's for the Gu family or the caravan, but they want to attack the army at all costs. This can only be for one reason. They gain much more than they sacrifice. Our Death Soldier Battalion was established three months ago
, I think that there is no life-or-death enemy who is not worthy of such hatred, so their target is you."
Chen Boqing was silent for a long time and then said: "I am the general of the Gu family. I am only responsible for protecting the ladies. I know very little about other things."
Zhang Xiaowu stared at the other person's eyes with his sharp eyes and said: "I'm afraid that Chen Daxia has something to hide and it's hard to explain it clearly. You and I are already sharing life and death at this time. If the truth is not revealed, it will be difficult for us to trust the Gu family."
Perhaps Zhang Xiaowu's eyes were too intimidating. Chen Boqing was forced to do nothing. He hesitated for a long time before saying: "Can you step aside? I have some things that I can only say to Mr. Zhang in private."
Zhang Xiaowu waved his hand, and Wu Song and others immediately walked twenty steps away. Chen Boqing was relieved and said in a low voice: "The Colonel is in the army and should not know about the internal affairs of Longdu. This matter is related to the reputation of my young lady, so it is inconvenient.
Speaking to the outside world, three years ago, when my young lady was fifteen years old, Concubine Zhang, the master of the harem, proposed to the emperor that in order to ease Zhang’s
The relationship between the party and the princelings, in order to reconcile the general and the prime minister, hoped that the seventh prince could take the eldest lady as his wife. One day, the seventh prince would become the king and the eldest lady would be the princess. At that time, the emperor agreed to this request, but he was ignored by the military advisor in front of him.
The emperor refused directly. At that time, not only did Concubine Zhang lose her face, but the emperor was also very angry by the military advisor."
Zhang Xiaowu thought to himself that the military advisor was also a relative of the emperor and could be regarded as the emperor's brother-in-law. How dare he blatantly refuse the emperor's marriage proposal? He said with a smile: "Among the people, this can be regarded as a mortal enemy."
"Yes, but in front of the emperor, the military advisor produced seventy-nine pieces of evidence that Longdu Palace suppressed the seventh prince's evil deeds, proving that the seventh prince was not only stubborn, but also cruel, and even ten of the yellow-flowered girls who were harmed by the seventh prince
Five people, do you know how old the seventh prince was at that time? He was only nineteen years old at that time." Chen Boqing shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "The seventh prince has been naughty since he was a child.
He couldn't bear to indulge in lewdness, and even lewd the maids of the palace, which was quite reminiscent of Prince Ning's debauchery in the palace. At that time, Zhang Huanggong and Zuo Prime Minister Zhang Kuan always wanted the fifth prince to replace the third prince as crown prince, but the seventh prince was lustful
After the Le Palace Lady incident broke out, the emperor directly announced that the crown prince would be the commander-in-chief of the Blue Dragon Army. Do you know what it means when the prince takes charge of the military?"
Zhang Xiaowu nodded. Since ancient times, military power has been a restricted area for the royal family. Only the royal family in charge of military power can threaten the emperor's throne. After Emperor Taiqian asked the crown prince to lead the army, he officially announced that the other princes had been eliminated from the drama of the crown prince.
He didn't have a good impression of Crown Prince Xuanyuan Zixun, the murderer of Tucheng soldiers and civilians, and he didn't have a good impression of the other princes either. As a person born in a socialist country, he simply couldn't understand the merits of the royal family. He Thinking that the royal family is not a good thing, and that a group of people who regard their family as their country can have some real sympathy for the people, he asked: "You mean, Zhang Dang, the prime minister of Zuo, Zhang Kuan, was rejected just because of a marriage proposal. Because of such a trivial matter, all opportunities are completely lost?"
"That's why the world says that Gu Yong is the best military advisor in the world." Chen Boqing smiled, his eyes full of admiration for Gu Yong, and continued: "Concubine Zhang gave birth to the third prince, the seventh prince, and the ninth prince. At that time, the third prince It can be said that he was at the peak of his power, with the support of the queen and princes inside, and the support of the first party, the civil servants and leaders of the DPRK and China, outside. He was talented in literature and had a great reputation among the scholars. He was recognized as a virtuous prince. However, he was beaten back by the military advisor with a deadly counterattack. It directly stopped Zhang Dang’s thoughts. If it weren’t for the intervention of the Senate, His Majesty the Emperor would have deposed Zhang Guifei long ago.”
Zhang Xiaowu asked: "So Concubine Zhang holds a grudge and wants to get rid of the eldest lady and then be happy?"
Chen Boqing shook his head and said: "Concubine Zhang has been running the harem honestly since she was ordered by His Majesty. She did not dare to reach out to the palace. However, the third prince, seventh prince and ninth prince were all driven outside the palace and lived in the prince's mansion built in the inner city. .The person who wants to get rid of the eldest lady and get away with it should be the seventh prince. This person will definitely retaliate with a vicious heart. When he was seven years old, he fell in love with one of the eldest princess’s pet dogs. Because he couldn’t get the dog, he He secretly killed the dog, skinned it and made it into a toy and put it in the house. In Longdu City, if there was something he couldn't get, he would do everything possible to destroy it, both to people and things. My eldest lady The country is beautiful and fragrant, but many princes and nobles have proposed marriage to the Gu family but failed. The seventh prince...sigh..."
"The seventh prince has messed up the harem, is your majesty just going to let it go?" Zhang Xiaowu said in surprise.
Chen Boqing said: "This seventh prince is also a ruthless man. He knew that he was guilty of a serious crime, so he hanged himself in the imperial mausoleum. When he was found, his body was cold. After all, he is the emperor's son. How can his father be so serious? The man who killed his son was grieving when he suddenly heard from the imperial doctor that the seventh prince was alive. After the seventh prince woke up, he cried and said that he dreamed of the late emperor. The late emperor said that someone wanted to seize the Xuanyuan family and asked him to go back and protect the emperor. This time There was a big drama between father and son, and everyone in Longdu City knew about it. The seventh prince came back from the dead and declared that he would die to apologize, so the emperor did not pursue it any further. "
Zhang Xiaowu frowned. This seventh prince was capable of killing and peeling off lives at the age of seven. He was very ruthless and ruthless, and he was able to destroy lives for his own selfish interests. He also didn’t know how to bring them back to life. He could be said to be a deviant. He didn’t have a good impression of the royal family. In order to retaliate against Zhang Kuan, the crown prince killed tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Tucheng. In order to retaliate against the Gu family, the seventh prince hired bandits to kill so many people, including his own subordinates, and the most ruthless imperial family. Everyone in the royal family was culpable. Hot people.
It was already noon when they set off again. The sun was so hot that people couldn't keep their eyes open. There were gradually more sand than weeds in front of them. They had arrived from the grassland to the desert. After passing through this desert, they would reach the Gobi Desert. In the center of the Gobi Desert was the ruins of Roland. .
Zhang Xiaowu has been worried about the bandits. Judging from the momentum last night, there are at least thousands of bandits. Only more than 400 people were killed. It doesn't hurt the bandits. The bandits will definitely attack again. If they can capture the prisoners and interrogate their whereabouts, they can take the initiative.
It is better to attack than to sit back and wait for death.
After traveling into the desert, the carriage was difficult to move, so the three ladies changed into fancy clothes and rode on horses, and their riding and driving skills were even better than those of the surrounding sergeants.
Zhang Xiaowu couldn't help but admire him when he saw it from a distance. Now in this Holy Han Empire, both men and women are martial arts. There are no women with bound feet who have three obediences and four virtues. They are the prostitutes in the brothels of Mucheng and the prostitutes in the brothels. If you don't like it,
Guests dare to slam the table and drive people away. Those girls in later generations who talk about equality between men and women and give priority to women in actions are the ones who have been brainwashed by the sour Confucianism. They don’t say it in words but in their hearts they believe that men are superior to women.
After several women were chatting and laughing in low voices, Miss Gu suddenly turned her horse's head and, ignoring the strange looks from others, came to Zhang Xiaowu and walked side by side with him. She asked smartly and eccentrically: "Little general, you don't know how to ride a horse, do you?"
It seems to me that the way you are riding a horse is very strange."
Many sergeants couldn't help laughing when they saw and heard. Zhang Xiaowu blushed after being exposed, and said with force: "I can drive."
"drive?"
"It's driving, driving an ox cart." Zhang Xiaowu immediately changed his mind and said, "My father is a bodyguard, so I have been riding in the ox cart of the escort agency since I was a child."
The people around laughed, and the second lady covered her mouth and laughed. She did not look down on Zhang Xiaowu's background, but seeing that he was so free and easy and that No. 4 did not hide his civilian identity, she became even more curious about him. She asked again: "Little
General...who did you learn the Heath medical technique of sewing wounds with needles and threads from? Is the doctor you learned from still alive? Where is he? What does he look like? Is he a miracle doctor?"
Zhang Xiaowu started talking nonsense: "She is a goddess doctor named Tu Youyou, but she has saved many people."
Gu Ruoxi was immediately surprised and said: "Wow, she is actually a goddess doctor. It's really amazing."
Zhang Xiaowu's eardrums were shaken and he trembled with fright. The war horse Wenwen under his crotch almost jumped up. He had no choice but to pat the horse's neck to calm the horse, and Wenwen gradually became quiet.
Gu Ruoxi stuck out her tongue and asked, "Is the goddess doctor Tu Youyou as beautiful as a fairy? Is he a martial arts master?"
Zhang Xiaowu had a dark look on his face. He was just talking nonsense. Unexpectedly, the second lady started to ask more questions. Since it was really a lie that needed millions of lies to make up for it, he bit the bullet and explained: "She...she was already gone when I saw her."
He is an old man and very kind. As for whether he is a martial arts master or not, I don't know."
Gu Ruoxi asked again: "Aren't you her close disciple? How can you not know whether she knows martial arts?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "I just took a few more glances to see who is a closed disciple. Senior Tu Youyou is a great man like a god. I can't reach him."
Gu Ruoxi said: "You only looked at it a few times, but you dared to use medicine yesterday, and you weren't afraid of killing people?"
Zhang Xiaowu replied: "Either let him wait for death, or give it a try. If it were you, how would you choose?"
Gu Ruoxi and Chu Mei thought carefully for a while and said: "If he dies in the end and continues to suffer, it would be better to die once and for all."
