laughing soul

Qiu Sheng had experienced the power of red blood before, but this sneak attack army didn't seem to be taken seriously by the regular army, and what was used to blow up the emperor was actually just a small scrap.Even though this thing can produce huge smoke and gunpowder smoke, the explosive casualty ability is much worse after all. Otherwise, at such a short distance, even with three heavily armored generals guarding him, Qiu Sheng would have to be alive. .

Even with such a low-end red blood, his strength cannot be underestimated after all.The backs of the three generals guarding Qiu Sheng were blown apart, not to mention the skin and heart and lungs, and the whole body was protected by armor, but there was still almost no good skin on their bodies. After the explosion, the surrounding temperature instantly Rising, no matter how thick the heavy armor is, it will not insulate the heat. The whole person is wrapped in it as if it was baked in a steamer.

Tiancheng, which was not well-ordered at all, was suddenly turned into a pot of gruel when it was blown up so suddenly. Fortunately, Qiu Sheng's foresight covered his identity. Except for the opposing sides, ordinary people thought that he had hurt the court officials, and ran all over the city It is said that everyone in the streets and alleys is talking about how the Shaoqing of Dali Temple was blown up by Deng Qiyi's cannon into a dead ghost with one leg and half body, etc., and so on.

Dong Qi and Zheng Nan also suffered large and small injuries, but because they were not as targeted as Qiu Sheng, what they suffered were small flesh injuries caused by flying sand and stones. Xu Quanwei got up from the bed to arrange affairs, and for the time being, he calmed down the endless nonsense from the outside world, at least the people's hearts were stabilized.

Under the chaotic situation, Huadu's army still gave the King Nanxiao a sigh of relief. Within a day and a night, they beat up those generals who had nothing to fight and were insufficient in strength, and those who were willing to change their ways and return to the right were easily filled. As a recruit, he stubbornly broke into the Tiancheng prison and waited to die. The sensational Tiancheng extravagance was dressed in a flowery robe that went up to the sky, but inside was a handful of torn cotton wool. The mowing is usually leveled out like this.

As for Deng Qi, he took advantage of the chaos and slipped away, leaving behind a group of hypocritical uprising comrades, took a shortcut all the way into the south gate of Weizhou, and got into the new post station that had just been repaired after the Weizhou War. Waiting for the shopkeeper to take care of him, he went into an elegant room in the pavilion. A man in the room who was drinking tea Shi Shiran saw the unexpected guest, but he didn't show any surprise or panic, he just raised his head and glanced at him: " Who exploded?"

Deng Qi knelt down on both knees and humbly replied: "Father, it's Qiu Sheng, he came in person."

Latu seemed slightly taken aback, but he just nodded slightly and waved to the ashen-faced Deng Qi: "Don't worry, my son, sit down."

Deng Qi refused: "Father, it's all my fault for my misjudgment earlier, I didn't ask my father for more guns in time, according to today's situation, if our firepower is stronger, it is easy to take the life of that bastard. It's the kid's fault, I didn't expect him to do everything by himself to this point..."

"A few years ago, I told me that among the children of the first emperor, the most licentious and immoral was that you belonged to Qiu Sheng. Now it seems that this is not the case. The biggest flaw in his behavior is that he is too aggressive. This is also true. Because of the frivolous young man, in a few years, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to deal with." Latu scratched his beard and sighed, "In the current situation of all parties, his shortcoming has become an advantage, my son, how to deal with this People, you need to be cautious."

"Since the adoptive father said that it will be a few years later, why should we give them this opportunity to grow up? Why don't we start as soon as possible and kill him by surprise!"

Latu turned his head to look at Deng Qi, and deeply understood what the Central Plains people meant by saying "greedy enough to swallow elephants", and felt that the hat of "young and innocent" was more suitable for this person than Qiu Sheng's head .

He let out a long sigh: "The Northwest Army is not easy to deal with. Now that I have no Kex, they have Red Blood again. We can almost say that we have lost all the favorable situation. When we had the upper hand before, we still had to rely on the Nanman and Western Squadrons." The strength of the division, but now what do you want to say about attacking and sending troops? My son," he reached out and patted Deng Qi's fat shoulder, shaking his head, "this is unrealistic."

Deng Qi was dissatisfied, and was about to get up to talk again, but his voice was stopped by Latu's words: "Besides, the hearts of the Western Popes are really unpredictable. The three parties only half-forced Da Viet to sign the alliance under the city. He doesn't plan to participate in the cooperation right now. It's a big business." He reached out and slid his hand on the blueprint on the table, "Look, in many states and counties along the coast, as long as they let go of their strength and blow up, they can easily attract more than half of the troops of Qiusheng Nanbattalion. But right now, all these people are hitting you and me on the head."

Deng Qi's expression changed drastically: "Mr. Yalf has left the coastal line?"

He was originally born with fat head and big ears, if he was reincarnated in the pigsty with such a dignified appearance, he would undoubtedly be the first one to be taken out and beheaded, adding a frightened expression would be the icing on the cake , as the adoptive father, Latu couldn't bear to read it carefully, so he had to answer at the beginning: "He said that this year is one of the fasting years established by the gods they believe in. Many believers are not allowed to kill. As soon as the peace talks are over, they all withdrew."

"What?" Deng Qi yelled at the case angrily, "They still have morality and friendly forces in their eyes!"

"People in the Central Plains have a saying, 'All the prosperity of the world is for profit, and all the chaos of the world is for profit'. You talk about morality with groups formed by interest alliances? But I don't understand what is the reason for their interests. Conflict with you and me...cough coughcough..." He suddenly bent down and coughed violently, Deng Qi didn't care about getting angry, he quickly squatted down and stroked his back a few times: "Father?"

His coughing like a tsunami was difficult to stop for a while, and he couldn't even stabilize his body when he exerted all the force, he even had to put one hand on Deng Qi's body to borrow strength, and wait until it subsided When he came down, there was a trace of blood on the corner of his lips.

Deng Qi's face appeared extremely terrified again: "Father, who is this? Find the doctor!"

As soon as he put down the words, he was about to run away, but his right arm was grabbed by Latu. He felt that the strength was still a little bit angry, and he was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly turned around to help Latu. On the wooden bench: "Father sit down."

Latu was finally relieved, took a bowl of warm water handed over by Deng Qi and drank it, wiped his mouth and said, "How about the informant on the Kunlun Mountains?"

In Deng Qi's lack of medical knowledge, most people are fine if they can speak. Just let go of your heart, and you will be half-suspended when you hear "Kunlun Mountain": "The god is mysterious, wearing a ghost mask. He doesn't show his face these days. He said that Cui Wei, the owner of the Pavilion Cui Wei, ordered Cui Wei to intervene. The sulfur charcoal wood and the soap medicine water chestnut are not very easy to get, so let the adoptive father wait for a while. Adoptive father, please let the son tell the truth, this The informant is really unreliable."

Latu: "It's hard to find a connector in Kunlun Mountains. Don't try too hard. This person is doing things without telling Cui Wei, and he is doing tricks under the nose of the ghost. It is not easy to save his head. Besides, recently Let’s rest and recuperate for a while, it’s really not suitable to fight.”

Deng Qihong's eyes were red and he was about to say something more, but Latu waved his hands and walked away with a weary face: "Qiu Sheng must be blessed if he survives a catastrophe. Maybe there is an expert behind him, so don't push the prey too hard. ... My son, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, foster father will take a step first."

Deng Qi, who was left where he was, suddenly felt inexplicably that his foster father was confused.

Even if he is old-fashioned and confused, Latour is really right in saying two words - expert.

This expert is Zhou Yong.He ran around in the palace for several nights in a row, once the freshness at the beginning was gone, no amount of house beams would be able to keep him.This person seems to have gradually discovered that there is nothing remarkable about this place in the palace except that there are many servants and beautiful scenery. The empresses in the harem bickered and listened for a long time, but they didn't understand a single word.

To say that these women are also interesting, some people outside the emperor don't even look at the harem, but they are stubborn and jealous, and quarrel endlessly.

Swaggeringly out of the imperial city, just catching up with Qiu Sheng to go to Tiancheng to quell the chaos, Zhou Yong took his own Xue Qianli and followed them quietly all the way, together with Qiu Sheng who was knocked unconscious and deaf The situation is also clear.

He had no intention of taking care of Dayue's affairs, but Chu Yu was his own master after all, so he just found something to do when his teeth were idle. After Zhou Yong fed Xue Qianli, he set off on a long journey and went to Tianyuan Temple to report to the pavilion master.Unexpectedly, the journey was smooth and smooth, and even the many monks who were patrolling and standing guard at the gate of Tianyuan Temple were hidden from it, and finally they were trapped outside the Jingran Gate by a magic circle.

He wasn't in a hurry, he just found a beam to sleep on, thinking maybe it would be the same when he woke up, but unexpectedly, before the wooden board under his head was warmed by the pillow, he was stabbed by Jing Ran's palm.

Zhou Yong was beaten when he failed to sleep. He drew out his long sword and was about to fight the bald donkey on the spot. As soon as he moved his fingers, Jing Ran stretched out two fingers and slapped him on the mouth. Fortunately, he was poked right in the heart, and he took two steps back in a daze as if he had been struck by lightning, his face full of disbelief: "What are you doing?"

Jing Ran withdrew her hand and calmly nodded, "Benefactor Zhou."

Zhou Yong has never waited to see these gods in the temple who eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha. Probably because of his own murder, when he saw the Bodhisattva, he felt a chill from his back for no reason. If you want to burn the real fire of samadhi, you can't wait to take the monk's bald head without saying a word, but because Chu Yu dare not make a loud noise, you can only hold back your breath and ask in a low voice: "Baldy donkey, what did you do to the pavilion master?" gone?"

Jing Ran was not angry or annoyed when he heard the words, but his attitude became more and more modest: "Leaving the soul for the first time, let him have a good rest first, there will be a hundred harms but no benefits if his mind is in a state of confusion. What's important for Zhou benefactor, let's wait for a while. Wait, there is no rush at this moment."

Zhou Yong frowned, did he really start to clean up?

"It's okay for me to wait." He rubbed the scabbard for a while, his voice was much calmer than before, "I'll wait, you should hurry up."

Jing Ran didn't ask too many questions, she lowered her eyebrows and closed her hands, and drifted away with the fragrance of herbs all over her body.

Zhou Yong swaggered into the room, and at a glance, he saw that the man was not sleeping soundly.

He lay quietly on the bed and fell into a deep sleep, but a small pimple appeared on his brows, his pale and thin face was sunk deep in the soft cushion, his lips were completely faded, revealing some gray death. When he got angry, only black and white colors remained on the whole face, like a dying person who was delirious.For such a short moment, Zhou Yong thought that he was going to die here so silently, leaving his heart full of remorse and helplessness, and swallowed his last breath in vain.

At the next moment, he unreasonably overturned this fantasy. Chu Yu did not belong to this kind of peaceful, peaceful, and even useless way of death.

As long as he still has a breath in his cold chest, he will never lie down and accept his fate. It seems that if he is given a knife and a sword, even if he knows it is a powerless resistance, he will fight to the death Picking up the sword and splitting the fate that drove people to a dead end, venting the evil spirit in his chest, and then bearing the bloody scars all over his head and face, he plunged into the burning fire and died like a sacrifice.

It seems that they were born to destroy the world, and some scattered ruins all over the place with helpless heads, they are thieves in troubled times; some have a peaceful world in their hearts, and they sacrifice their flesh and blood to carve from scratch, they are heroes.

Zhou Yong half-closed his eyes and looked at Chu Yu for a moment, and saw that the man was still in a nightmare like a ghost, and was about to lift his foot to leave, but the latter woke up unexpectedly.

He took a breath of cool air, and Zhou Yong shook his whole body as if he heard the roaring thunder, and turned back a few steps to meet Chu Yu's eyes that had no aim, and asked softly, "How are you?"

Chu Yu only half-opened his eyes instinctively, but the strange and disillusioned scene in his dream was still in front of him. He was asked such a question, and his empty mind suddenly stopped moving. say.

"Forget it, don't think too much, I'll pour you a bowl of water." For the first time, Zhou Yong was in a good temper and didn't hurry to urge him. Bring a teacup, "Come."

Chu Yu took a sip of his hand in a daze, and took a sip of the lukewarm tea. He came back to his senses for a while, looked at the person in front of him, and was slightly taken aback: "Why are you here?"

"You..." Another glance at Chu Yu's frightening face, which looked like a living dead, Zhou Yong coughed lightly and decided to hide it first, "Take a rest for two days, this matter is not in a hurry."

Chu Yu reached out to take the tea bowl, raised his head and drank it in a gulp, he was completely awake, then fixed his gaze on Zhou Yong, and tightened his voice coldly: "Hiding and letting me guess is even more exhausting, you Let's just say it directly."

Zhou Yong: "..."

Chu Yu frowned and knocked heavily on his forehead a few times, narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou Yong for a while, then said hoarsely, "What happened to Qiusheng in the capital?"

"... "

He stood up slowly, looked down at the pavilion master expressionlessly, and was silent for a while, not wanting to be glared back by the other party's darker and more stern eyes than him. Go: "It's not a big deal, you should take care of yourself first with your virtue, and then make trouble for others... Hey, don't move!"

In order to prove that "creating trouble for others" is pure nonsense, Chu Yu actually ignored the broken bones, stood up unsteadily with the support of the bed, and even avoided Zhou Yong's hand stretched out like a petty act, saying: "Big deal!" I will make judgments on small matters, so let me talk about it first."

Zhou Yong looked at him with big eyes and small eyes for a long time as if he was dying, and finally gave up resistance: "Okay, okay, please calm down first, don't disturb your blood."

Hearing this, Chu Yu put away his hostility in an instant, and put on a flattering smile instead: "It's easy to say."

Zhou Yong considered his words carefully: "Not long after you left the capital, Tiancheng's gang of extravagant rebels organized an uprising under the pretext of exploitation and oppression by the imperial court. After investigation, it was found that he was the adoptive son of Latu, the head of the Beili clan. This happened to be seen by Dong Qi who was in Tiancheng at the time. As soon as he returned to the capital, he reported the opening ceremony. He was scared out of his wits, more or less added fuel, Qiu Sheng couldn't sit still for a while, and went first, bringing Huadu's relatives with him... Hey, take it easy and don't get so excited, □□It has been calmed down."

As soon as Chu Yu heard that the man was in armor, he couldn't breathe well in his chest. He tried his best to suppress the choking and coughed twice, and waved his hands to signal Zhou Yong to continue.

Zhou Yong: "He went to the post station in Huadu first. I didn't pay attention to what he did. Afterwards, they confronted Deng Qi and his party head-on. At first, the fat pig was very respectful and humble. With a human face and a beast's heart, he still has a backhand..." He paused deliberately when he said this, and looked around Chu Yu's face, and saw that the other party was still calm, so he slowed down and said, "Latu sent a dead boy He mixed into the team, holding a bag of red blood in his arms, and exploded in front of Qiu Sheng, but he was surrounded by three heavily armored soldiers, so the injuries were not serious."

Chu Yu's left hand has been subconsciously digging out the tender flesh of his right palm, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, leaving a small purple and black scar, Zhou Yong's voice suddenly stopped, his mechanical and inexplicable movements froze suddenly, his heart and lungs froze. With a sudden tightening, I suddenly realized that I subconsciously held my breath when the other party spoke. Don't open your eyes, swallowed a few breaths, and asked after your strength stabilized: "The injury is not serious. You come to me? Stop talking nonsense. , What are the injuries? I'll go to Xu Liushan first and ask him to prescribe some elixir."

"... "

Zhou Yong sometimes felt that it was not a good thing to be too smart, and a little lie could be quickly exposed. What's the point of this too open and clear life?

He reached into his arms and took out a medicine bag: "Before coming to Tianyuan Temple, I went to ask Xu Liushan to invite it, and you don't need to go again... It's just a tiny piece of red blood, it's not very powerful. He was surrounded by heavy armor to protect him when he went up to the explosion, so even though the distance was extremely close, it only hurt a little heart and temporarily deafened his ears, you don’t have to be so close to the enemy.”

Chu Yu's hands were entangled with each other unconsciously again, with such force that his veins were almost stretched out. After Zhou Yong was extraordinarily calm for a while, he suddenly picked up the medicine bag on the table and lifted his arms. He swung the Wanchi bow hanging on the wall on his back, and walked away.

Zhou Yong was caught off guard by his unconventional move, he almost didn't stop his footsteps, quickly grabbed his right arm, and shouted at him angrily: "With your face, go do it!" Well? Condolences!"

"You're right, your complexion isn't very good," Chu Yu dexterously swung his right arm and pulled out his hand, smiling as if automatically shielding Zhou Yong's angry questioning, turned around and groped randomly on the bed. Circle, take out a □□ and paste it on the face with a "slap", carefully sticking the corners.

Zhou Yong was in a state of confusion for a moment, thinking that this person was going to change his ways and not run away, but who would have thought that when the footsteps of the monk who was attracted by the roar just now came from this end, Chu Yu put on the mask on the other end, turned around and waved at Zhou Yong , the latter has not yet come to his senses, but he has already broken out of the window, jumped in the air, and there is no one left.

Zhou Yong looked at the shattered paper window, and suddenly hoped that it was the head of the pavilion master.

Many little monks behind him were yelling for persuasion or confusion, and Zhou Yong let out a long sigh, and he had no choice but to fly along the sky road that Chu Yu had set for him, choosing to let the bald donkeys bear the vicious consequences of making friends silently.

His qinggong couldn't catch up with Chu Yu, so naturally he didn't want to catch up with him. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the temple gate, he saw a figure curled up in the woods from a distance.

He squinted his eyes and took a closer look, it was Chu Yu.

Just as he was about to follow up, he saw the man leaning down and growling in a low voice: "Get out!" The tone of his voice could almost be said to be hatred and hatred. This kind of extremely negative emotion had never appeared on him before.

Chu Yu obviously didn't expect the consequences of leaving the soul to be so serious.

In the past, it took him a lot of time to control Chu Yu, but this body in this life belongs to him after all, so he was able to get away with it after all. However, today's scene is far beyond any kind of imagination when he never faced him directly. .

It felt like a sharp ax had split his brain in half, and the black smoke that once hid his achievements and fame was now evenly divided with him, revealing his ugly original form domineeringly.

He volleyed for no purpose, only felt a splitting headache and cold sweat, but he still desperately held on to the last sliver of clarity of the Lingtai, and lit the soul-initiating lamp.

At the same time, there was a sharp pain in my heart, and dirty blood sprayed all over the floor.

He closed his eyes and rested for a while, and then staggered onto the horse's back with his body supported. Xue Qianli understood his mind and flew away without waiting for an order.
