Chapter 259 Hidden Struggle (2)
Seeing that it was arranged by His Highness the Crown Prince, Li Qi returned to his normal state and smiled at Yang: "Your Highness Changsun, when will your soul-stealing crossbow and earth bomb be in place? They have been throwing acid with their mallet hands these days."
"I have given you some time," Yang Xiaoxiao scolded, "How are you doing with your accuracy?"
"Seventy-eight out of ten"
"Yeah, it's okay," Yang Xiao nodded and praised.
When a few people walked and chatted with the training soldiers, the soldiers stopped and greeted Yang Xiao, with incomparable respect in their words.
When this scene fell into the eyes of an inconspicuous guard next to Yang Li, his heart suddenly surged. Recalling Concubine Yi's explanation when setting off, the guard felt a thick sense of solemnity in his heart.
Just as the two of them were talking, Song Dadao and Daniu, who were training hard in the distance, also ran over. When they saw Yang Xiao with sweat on their faces, they were particularly happy.
"Smile, eldest son, your highness." The two of them wiped the sweat from their foreheads and were about to call as usual when they suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly changed their conversation.
Yang Xiao walked over and punched the two of them twice, and scolded them with a smile: "Your Highness, Mr. Changsun, it sounds awkward, but I still like you to call me Brother Xiao."
The two of them were overjoyed. Yang Xiao's words showed that he did not look down on the brothers who were playing together because of the change in status.
"How's your practice going?" Yang Xiao asked with concern. Since arriving in the Sui Dynasty, the people who have been most caring to me, apart from the people in Luo Canyon, are these playmates in Songjiazhuang. If anything happens in the future, I will have to rely on these people to be able to use him smoothly.
Li Qi on the side could not help but praise when he heard this: "Both Da Dao and Da Niu are good. They are all very talented at a young age. No one here is their opponent now."
"Oh" Yang Xiao was surprised. Although he knew that Da Dao and Da Niu had learned kung fu from Taoist Qingyun for a few days, they didn't know that these two people were not low in understanding and their martial arts progressed so quickly.
"Hehe - where - where -" Da Dao and Dan Niu touched the back of their heads in embarrassment.
¡°Come and take a look,¡± Yang Xiao looked at the two of them and said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone who was practicing in the square gathered around him.
They are all people who meet every day, and the big guys will be the first to appear without any excuse. He wielded a square-shaped painted halberd, and when he stood in the field, he gave people a feeling of being in a distant place. The slightly mature face now lost the simplicity of the past.
Just when Yang Xiao was secretly appreciating in his heart, he heard Daniel roar loudly, and the 100-pound Fangtian Painted Halberd danced like a windmill, its shiny new blade reflecting bright light in the sunlight.
The strong wind blowing by Fang Tian¡¯s painted halberd made the clothes of others rustle, which shows the strength of Daniel¡¯s arms.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Calm and calm, like an undefeated general.
"Bah bang bang¡ª¡ª"
Yang Xiao was the first to applaud, and after three days, the scholars looked at him with admiration.
Although he was beaten by Taoist Master Qingyun when he was young, his talent in martial arts was enough to make everyone present jealous.
After Daniel came off the stage, a big sword jumped out from the side. He used a big sword called Jiu Ge. This was a sword specially equipped by Taoist Priest Qingyun for his master's secret skill "Soul Locking Sword Technique". The sword of the human soul. There are nine round holes on Jiu Ge's back. When the sword is danced, it will make a harsh "wuwuwu" sound, which can make the opponent's heart become tense without him knowing it.
This is where the soul-capturing spirit comes from.
Without further ado, let¡¯s get back to the business. The sword let out a soft shout, stamped its feet and leapt into the air like a snow leopard, holding the sword and pulling it into the void with its right hand.
A "hissing" sound of cracking silk rang in their ears, and everyone felt a slight sway in the air around them. After the sword fell, the soul-locking sword technique rolled out, and afterimages mixed with harsh and sharp sounds followed his body all over the place. Wander.
Layers of afterimages and bursts of screams
?While everyone was watching in horror, there was also a buzzing in the eardrums.
That sound is like a bee that lingers around the ears and is very annoying.
The soul-locking sword technique is indeed worthwhile.
After enduring it for a moment, the shadow of the sword gradually disappeared and the sound gradually died down. The big sword stood on the spot without blushing and out of breath. It was obvious that he was very skilled in his skills.
After everyone came back to their senses, they applauded warmly and looked at the two people with obvious envy.
Yang Xiao was also secretly shocked that Taoist Master Qingyun¡¯s martial arts was really powerful. In just a few days, he had trained a broadsword who didn¡¯t understand martial arts to such an extent. Thinking of the situation between the two of them at this moment, Yang Xiao suddenly had an idea in his mind.
Da Dao and Da Niu are his confidants, and Taoist Master Qingyun¡¯s martial arts is extensive and profound. Why not let them find some teenagers of similar age to organize and train two teams, and improve their "stealing" skills for future generations. With the developed soul-stealing crossbows and gunpowder bombs, they can be used to break through the defense line and carry out beheading operations in war. surprise soldier
Hey - isn't this the prototype of the special forces of later generations? Yang Xiao couldn't help but feel happy when he thought of this.
After thinking that he had dispersed the crowd, Yang Xiao left Da Dao and Da Niu behind and told them his thoughts. When these two boys heard that they could lead troops, they jumped up and screamed with excitement.
"You are a great warrior," Yang Xiao said sternly after they were overly excited, "leading troops is not that simple. You two must study hard with Brother Li and Brother Liu after training, and ask for advice humbly."
¡°Yes¡ªBrother Xiao,¡± the two of them responded loudly.
"Okay, you go"
After the two left, Yang Xiao ordered Li Qi: "The martial arts of these two boys are passable for the time being, but they know nothing about marching and fighting. You are from the Imperial Guard and have received special training. You and Brother Liu must take time to teach them well. In these troubled times, we must have our own reliable strength. If nothing else, at least we can protect our families."
Li Qi nodded solemnly and said: "To teach them how to march and fight, it is best to take them out into actual combat. Only through actual combat can they truly understand it."
"Well, you are right. It seems that we have to restore the Silk Road in advance."
"When can it be restored?"
"Let's wait until these two boys are almost at the same level in training," Yang Xiao thought for a while and said, "At that time, you can take them out to practice."
"By the way, Your Highness¡ª¡ª"
Yang Xiao waved his hand and said with a smile: "When there is no one around, you still call me Yang Shifu. I listen to you."
Li Qi chuckled and continued: "Master Yang, there is something you don't know whether to say or not?"
"What's the matter?"
"Just now when Daniel and Da Dao were practicing martial arts, I saw a subordinate beside His Highness Li took out a pen from his arms and secretly recorded something?"
"Oh, what can be recorded here?" Yang Xiao was a little confused, "You can't be wrong?"
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Li Qi nodded firmly, ¡°That guy is sneaky and I don¡¯t think he¡¯s a good guy.¡±
Yang Xiao thought for a while, but couldn't guess what could interest that person here. Xinzhuang was approved by the old emperor, and Li Qi and the others were the hidden soldiers of Uncle Zhu when they were falling into the canyon. Everything was made public. Basically there are no secrets anymore
"Ignore him," Yang Xiao said, "You should practice your troops well. Tomorrow I will send someone to bring some soul-stealing crossbows and soil bombs. You should get familiar with them first. Maybe you will set off early."
"Ahead of time? Where to go?"
Yang Xiao sighed: "Although I rarely attend the morning court, I know that Cui Yixuan, the new minister of the Ministry of War, is a militant at heart. Dong Xiangyun reminded me when he left. The Cui family in Anping has always raised troops, and Cui Yixuan often pulled troops in Shandong. Go out with his soldiers to suppress the bandits."
"When Xu Xiaode talked to me that day, he mentioned that Mr. Zhu has been caring about the refugees in Huizhou recently. I have been thinking about it these days. Is it right or wrong for me to create gunpowder and earthen bombs? Cui Yixuan was fooled. The Minister of War is not the old man of Yuan Yuan, I am afraid that I have sinned too deeply."
Li Qi felt deeply heavy when he heard this. Of course he understood what Yang Xiao was worried about. He also knew that after Meng Yao's army forced Luoyang, tax money from various places in Jiuzhou was detained under various excuses. Cui Yixuan was introduced by Uncle Zhu. The Huainan Army may not dare to march south now, but the rebellion in Huizhou will probably be put on the record in advance. This will serve as a warning to the soldiers from all over the country.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it that much anymore," Yang smiled and sighed, "Let nature take its course. Let's go see Brother Liu's injury first."
At sunset, there is still some time before dinner.
Taihua Hall, the prince's bedroom.
The Pig Bo was stayed in Lintu Temple in the Lintu Temple in early dynasty. There were only four people left in the entire Taihua Hall: Concubine Yi and his maidservant.
Concubine Yi is just over thirty, with a plump figure and unrivaled elegance at the most mature time in her life. At this moment, I am sitting at the table, admiring myself in the bronze mirror.
¡°Your Majesty¡ªCao Canjun is asking for an audience,¡± the voice of a maid outside the door sounded.
Concubine Yi¡¯s whole body was shaken, her eyes narrowed, she straightened her clothes and said in a deep voice: ¡°Tell him to come in.¡±
A sound of trotting sounded from the corridor outside, and then the door darkened, and a man's figure crossed the threshold, came to Concubine Yi, and knelt on one knee.He came down and said, "I'm going to pay homage to your Majesty."
"Cao Shenjun, please rise up"
Cao Canjun stood up and stood at the bottom with his head bowed and his body bowed, his expression was quite respectful.
"Cao Shenjun has worked hard, have you found anything?"
Hearing this, Cao Shenjun raised his head, his eyes were filled with joy, and he said excitedly: "As expected, the empress has divine fortune, and her subordinates followed Prince Li to Naluo Valley Xinzhuang, where there are three to four hundred people training troops."
"I disdain to say that Cao Canjun is the follower of the sneaky Yang Li mentioned by Li Qi.
Concubine Yi¡¯s pretty face turned cold, and she said in a cold voice: ¡°What else did you find?¡±
¡°Then¡ªthat¡ªHis Royal Highness Changsun led a few people into the house to talk. Neither his subordinates nor His Highness Li went in. It seemed that they were discussing some secret matters.¡±
"Damn it!" Concubine Yi bit her jade teeth, her pink face turned ferocious, and she said gloomily, "This guy came out of nowhere, he really has no good intentions."
¡°Your Majesty¡ª¡ª¡± Na Cao Shenjun glanced at her and said, ¡°His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values ??¡ª¡ªthat¡ª¡ª His Highness Changsun very much.¡±
"Don't call him His Highness Changsun," Concubine Yi scolded, "If he hadn't been born out of thin air, Li'er would have been the future prince, and I would have been the Empress Dowager. Unfortunately, I'm still that vixen. She talks about becoming a monk and practicing Taoism, and I don't know how many times she has seduced her secretly. Holding the prince¡¯s hand.¡±
