Li Chengzhi took Li Bo and searched the area within 50 meters with the explosion point as the center.
I only picked up five or six pieces of iron, not even half a tin can, and the rest were probably blown down the mountain.
Just as he was hesitating whether to search at the bottom of the cliff, Li Zhang suddenly poked his head out from the wall: "Lang Jun, Master Guo is here..."
Li Chengzhi frowned.
Guo Shouzheng?
What is this person doing here?
He was confused in his heart, but he did not move slowly at all. As he walked towards the place where he lived, he said to Li Bai: "You go and take care of it first, and I'll change my clothes!"
He also smells of fire and sulfur, which shouldn't be too familiar to a Taoist priest who makes alchemy like this
……
But he didn't expect that Guo Shouzheng's first words when he met him were: "Are you making alchemy?"
Li Chengzhi's heart skipped a beat: How did he know?
"When the thunder sounded, I happened to be at the top of the peak. I saw you, wearing a green robe... But before I even reached the foot of the peak, I smelled the smell of saltpeter..."
Li Chengzhi was sweating.
How do you explain this?
You said that you, a Taoist priest, do not chant sutras in the temple, but you go to the top of the mountain to blow the wind?
Li Chengzhi responded with a smile: "The viewer must have seen it wrong. This junior has been wearing this white shirt these past few days..."
Guo Shouzheng was shocked.
"How many more days"?
Such a strong soapy smell, it must have just been replaced...
He is so secretive, does it seem like he really caused the thunder?
But how did he do it?
Alchemy?
Guo Shouzheng endured it again and again, but in the end he didn't ask.
He could see it, and even if he asked Li Chengzhi, he wouldn't tell.
What's more, there are more important things at the moment...
Guo Shouzheng reached into his arms, took out a letter, and placed it in front of Li Chengzhi: "Your uncle is trapped in Chaona and begged me to pick him up. At the same time, he also asked me to send a message to the head of your family, asking you to
I also sent a team of people..."
Li Chengzhi was a little confused.
Where did my uncle appear from? Bah, bah, if you have a mother, you must have an uncle. Didn’t you just pop out from a crack in the stone?
Aren’t my maternal uncle’s family all in Jingzhou City? Why did they go to that county?
The Guo family's farms are all near Jingzhou City, more than a hundred miles away from Chaona...
"See for yourself!" Guo Shouzheng clicked on the envelope.
Li Chengzhi opened the letter with questions in his head.
"Uncle Clan Zunjian..."
The general idea is that he took his wife and daughter to celebrate his father-in-law's birthday a year ago. He planned to go back to Jingzhou after the Lantern Festival, but he didn't expect that the rioters broke out and he was trapped in Chaozhou.
Seeing that the looting rebels were getting closer and closer to Chaona County, the villagers and wealthy households in the county had begun to flee westward, so he discussed with his father-in-law and uncle to flee to Kongtong Mountain to avoid the disaster. p>
But for some unknown reason, the Zhang family didn't seem to have many strong men, and they couldn't even organize a decent rural soldier. They were afraid of encountering rebels on the road, so they had no choice but to ask for help from Guo Shouzheng and Li Song.
"Master, where are the soldiers of the Zhang family?" Li Chengzhi put down the letter and asked doubtfully.
"How can the Zhang family have any clan soldiers..."
Just half of his reply, Guo Shouzheng suddenly remembered: On the first day they met, Li Chengzhi said that although he was wise, his memory was lost...
If he even forgets his aunt's family background, doesn't it mean that this uncle can't remember it either?
Where are Li Shixian and Guo Yuzhi?
Guo Shouzheng felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't have time to think too much, and said: "The Zhang family in Chaona is not a Jingzhou noble family. It was your aunt's grandfather who settled here after he died in Jingzhou Dazhongzhengzheng...
They are the third generation, and they don’t even have a few servants. Where can the clan soldiers come from?”
No wonder they had to send someone to pick them up. It turned out that they didn’t have any soldiers?
Li Chengzhi's face felt a little burning.
It's all Li Song's fault that he didn't mention it.
This is my uncle, so I have to save him no matter what. Besides, there are not many people, unlike the Song family and the Li family, who moved thousands of people at a time.
And it’s not far away: Chaona is also under the jurisdiction of Longdong County and is fifty miles north of Kongtong Mountain. It can be reached in one day even on foot.
Li Chengzhi looked at Guo Shouzheng: "How many troops should the junior send?"
"Send half!" Guo Shouzheng muttered, "I know you only have a thousand soldiers, why should you leave half to guard the mountain... But what about Li Song, why don't you see him?"
I don’t know how much Guo Shouzheng knows about the Li family, and I am even more afraid that he will guess the origin of the copper. How can Li Chengzhi dare to tell the truth?
Li Shixian has not returned to Lijiapu for a year or two. How could the Li family hide the copper in Zhuangzi?
Hu Baozong was convinced...
"Protect Captain Hu and go to Gaoping Town to ask for help!" Li Chengzhi said vaguely.
"Ask for help?"
Guo Shouzheng frowned, "Without the imperial court's military order, if the border town mobilizes troops internally, it is a crime of conspiracy... Then how can Yan Ti and Lu Gong agree?"
"I'm not asking for reinforcements, I'm asking for food!" Li Chengzhi explained, "I'm also asking for some weapons and horses..."
"Asking for food? Well, it's good to prepare for a rainy day!"
Guo Shouzheng praised, and then said thoughtfully, "Although the journey from here to there is short, it will take at least two days to go back and forth. There is no chance that you will encounter random soldiers. Moreover, most of your thousand soldiers are newcomers, so you must
Send a general who knows the army to lead...but Li Song is not here, who are you going to send?"
Li Chengzhi sighed.
I can only pull myself up from within,
Besides Li Bai, who else could there be?
Fortunately, there is still Li Feng. At least he has gone through many battles. Without him taking the initiative, there is still no problem in guarding the mountain.
Li Chengzhi replied: "The only one is Li Bai... He was my father's scout leader before!"
"Just the talent of the team leader?" Guo Shouzheng was a little worried.
"But if we wait for Li Song to come back, it will take at least two or three days!" Li Chengzhi reminded.
"Then Li Bai, let's be Li Bai!"
If you wait another three or two days, the road may be blocked by a large group of insurgent soldiers, and you won't be able to get back if you want to.
Guo Shouzheng added: "In addition, I will send Zhang Xingyi to him and lead thirty soldiers... Although these people have not been in battle, they are at least skilled in bows and horses. They can use them to spy on the news and report back. There should be no problem.
..."
"Who?" Li Chengzhi asked subconsciously.
"Zhang Xingyi... the soldier who greeted you outside the gate that day is your aunt's nephew..."
Li Chengzhi was a little confused.
Let me just say that if relatives of the Jingzhou family are trying to trick relatives, they can become a family in just a few twists and turns.
Look, are you coming?
It turns out that he is not a Taoist priest, but a Taoist official, or a martial arts official?
In terms of grade, it is the same as the Yin Zhen still locked in the cellar...
"Then I'd like to thank the viewer!" Li Chengzhi stood up and bowed.
In terms of closeness and distance, he really thanked Guo Shouzheng...
The situation was urgent, and the two of them did not dare to be polite. Li Chengzhi immediately called Li Bai.
Because most of them were family members and could not ride fast horses, except for Zhang Xingyi's more than thirty cavalry, Li Bai did not bring any cavalry. He just hitched more than twenty carriages for the soldiers to transfer, and set off.
After sending Guo Shouzheng off politely, Li Chengzhi sighed to himself that it was such a troubled time and Li Feng came to see him again.
"Lang Jun, what arrangements should be made for the remaining brigade and more than a hundred cavalry?"
Li Chengzhi felt so strange.
You came to ask me?
"Practice formations? Didn't Li Bai always practice formations when he was here?"
Li Feng almost burst into tears: "Do you know how to serve me?"
