Eunuch's professionalism

Dao Gangyi found out that the red heart formation was effective just now. At least he successfully deceived King Rui's army and bought himself time to escape.

While avoiding the pursuers behind him, he ran towards his own camp. He was hit by several arrows from the back. He felt that his eyes were blackened, and he couldn't fall down, at least until he saw his master.In the dark, it was hard to see how many people came, but Dao Gangyi was clear. King Shou sent a full [-] riders, and Wei Honghe, one of the coaches, found that the person who came rushing over was actually Dao Gangyi who was going to assassinate him. , Surprised: "What's the matter with you!?"

Wei Honghe is the counselor of Shouwang Shao Mujian. On the horse beside him is a man covered in black cloth. This person only shows a pair of eyes. He is Shouwang himself and Shao Huachi's elder brother.For five years, he hadn't solved Shao Huachi's nail. This time, he took advantage of Xiu Heti's errand to come here to solve Lao Qi himself.

In his eyes, Lao Qi is also an unbeatable cockroach. It doesn’t matter if he was born with poison but not killed, and he has grown up. Even if Li Concubine, the evil concubine who harmed the country, dies, she will only be silent for a while before being valued by the emperor. Even the first one besides the second child to be made a prince, he himself was made a prince only at the beginning of this year, which shows the difference!First, it was recorded on the head of the empress and became the nominal legitimate son, and then the empress attacked Concubine Mei, but was accepted by the childless Concubine Mei. The age difference between the mother and son was not much different. Huang Zhen became confused when he was old, completely ignoring the rules of his ancestors.

After that, Lao Qi has become Lao Jiu's shield, and Shao Ziyu has become the most favored prince who is so popular.Although Concubine Mei said that the position of concubine was not as high as that of the queen, she was the most favored in the palace, and that level had not fallen for five years, and she even seemed to be more and more favored.How could Lao Qi be so lucky? God is so unfair!So get rid of the seventh, and the status of the ninth will plummet!

Shao Ziyu, Shao Ziyu, if you want to fight with me, you don't think about whether you are qualified or not.

After today, the old seven will die, and your glory, Shao Ziyu, will come to an end. Shao Mujian, who was under the black cloth, sneered, but saw a figure coming out of that tent and running here. He naturally recognized it, it was a member of his army. Wait for Wei Dao to be resolute.

Dao Gangyi quickly revealed all of Shao Huachi's plans, including that if Shao Huachi did not return to Yangmu City in 30 days, a messenger would send the news of his assassination to the imperial capital, and today is the No. It will take more than 20 days to go back!

Shao Mujian felt a chill in his heart, which meant that Shao Huachi had not only discovered their trail long ago, but even led them all the way out of the Hushi Desert this time!

"Okay, good you Shaohuachi! Old Qi, Lao Qi, elder brother really underestimates you, do you think I will shrink back?" Now that I have been found out, I have to kill Shaohuachi directly without doing anything, otherwise If it is reported to the father, not only will he thoroughly investigate the matter and confess himself, but he will also be suppressed by the ninth child. Isn't the second child who has just been confinement in the mansion the best example? The father has treated him for many years. The fight for power and profit with Shao Ziyu is very disgusting, otherwise why would the second child who has no chance to come back be released again, this is the father's warning!

"Your Highness, please think twice, we'd better go back to the city to find the messenger, and then silence him is the best policy!" Wei Honghe hurriedly persuaded, Shou Wang was too impulsive, and he was very worried that this was a trap set by the Seventh Prince.Just as he was about to ask another question, Dao Gangyi had already fallen to the ground and lost his breath. Wei Honghe couldn't figure it out until now. The group of Dao Gangyi can be said to be their strongest team. They are all elites, including Dao Gangyi himself All dead, the whole army wiped out!How did Shao Huachi do it, and how much did it cost?

I can't continue today, I have to go back and think twice!

But Shao Mujian was extremely furious. Thinking of his strongest troops, a total of 23 elite soldiers had never returned. We found out that we want to wipe them all out! I must kill him today!"

He even took a hard look at the merchants from Ji Kingdom who had been taken captive. They were Yao Lu and others. Their mouths were gagged, their bodies were tied up, and they were huddled together in fear.

He laughed maliciously, "There is always a time when you will come in handy!"

Several people trembled and shook their heads, their eyes full of fear.

If it hadn’t just happened to be heard Yao Lu saying that King Rui cared about him, they would not have been kidnapped by Dao Gangyi in advance. Yao Lu is also extremely regretful now, crying, and only prays that King Rui can still remember what he has done to him these days Take care, you can come and save him.

Shao Huachi knew his elder brother's character too well, it was this kind of headstrong and never listened to persuasion that made it easier for him to lure you into the urn.Since he was the eldest son and has a strong background since he was a child, he has never experienced any hardships at all. Even after the second eldest son Shao Huayang was locked up, there were rumors in the court that the most likely crown prince was Shao Mujian.Today's provocation to such an extent makes it even more impossible for Shao Mujian to let him go, and he will definitely pursue him today.

This is Shao Huachi's calculation, to integrate the bits and pieces that Fu Chen taught him into his own plan to grow slowly, and to stimulate psychologically according to the other party's personality. If Dao Gangyi and others disappear quietly, there is no rage Maybe Shao Mujian could calm down a little bit and try first before attacking. Now Dao Gangyi's last words before his death can be said to stir up Shao Mujian's anger that has been suppressed by Shao Huachi in the past few years. This is an explosion after accumulation.

"The second team continues to shoot arrows!" Shao Mujian roared, "The third and fourth teams are ready to charge!"

The two teams fought in the dark!

The smell of blood and roars filled the air, and the sound of weapons clashing could be heard endlessly.

Although pretending to be a man of the world, Shao Mujian is quite well prepared. In addition to the long spear team, there are also long halberd team, iron shield team, and ax throwing team, far exceeding the number of soldiers in the government. It can be said that these soldiers are his It was a taboo for Emperor Jin Cheng to recruit private soldiers, so Shao Mujian was also very careful.

Perhaps because of the previous attack, Shao Huachi's camp was completely dark, and the torches and bonfires were all extinguished.Shao Mujian couldn't see the other party's situation at all here, but he could hear more and more miserable cries. The corner of his mouth raised a smile, Lao Qi definitely has no chance of turning things around this time!Shao Mujian stared closely, his ears were discerning the sounds coming from there, the roar of horses and the wailing of soldiers sounded from there, some were getting farther and farther away, were they running away?

Shao Mujian's eyes revealed a burst of ecstasy, he calmed down, and wait a little longer, that guy Lao Qi will not be caught without a fight until he is in poverty, maybe there is another trick, he has been fooled by Lao Qi so many times for so many years, and he can't take it lightly.But Shao Mujian, who was in sight of victory, was already trembling his hands at this time, he was so excited, he seemed to be able to see the death of the old seven, the loneliness of the Nine Kings, the remaining brothers were nothing to worry about, and there were still a few who were too young Competitiveness, the throne is already beckoning to him.

"All soldiers obey orders, retreat!"

There was a hissing and exhausted roar in the distance, it belonged to Lao Qi!Regarding Shao Huachi's voice, Shao Mujian believed that he could hear it correctly.

Old Qi, even if you sense someone is following you, so what, do you think that few people can stop my army?Do you know how many people I have brought, and who is trying to harm you?But I'll make you a fool before you die.

Shao Mujian waited for a while, finally, the opponent seemed to be unable to withstand the attack, and began to retreat completely, because he saw the opponent suddenly lit a torch, although it was a little far away, he could still clearly see the number of people over there, He was almost beaten to pieces by his own side. It was the scene where Shao Huachi hurriedly rode his horse to escape. Even if he couldn't see his younger brother's expression, he could clearly see the blood on his face and the distribution of the few guards around him. Shaohua Pond is really at the end of its rope!

"Great!" Shao Mujian's fighting spirit was high, and he wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, "All teams, kill me! No one will be left alive!"

Shao Mujian's team can be said to be ten times that of Shao Huachi's this time, and it is almost certain to win. Wei Honghe, the counselor who dissuaded Shao Mujian at the beginning, was greatly relieved to see this scene. Fortunately, he did not try his best to dissuade King Shou just now, otherwise He would be a sinner.

After Shao Mujian gave an order, the team of 700 people rushed towards the direction where Shao Huachi left just now.

Shao Mujian, Wei Honghe and the others stayed at the end. Wei Honghe asked the soldiers to remove Yaolu's mouth, "I'll give you a chance to redeem your crimes and tell us how many people King Rui brought this time. Are there any injuries, and any other good news?"

At this time, Yaolu saw that King Rui's army was gone, and it was impossible to compare with Shao Mujian's 78 elite soldiers. He trembled and betrayed what he knew, "I haven't calculated the small ones carefully, but it is sure that there are less than [-] soldiers, about [-] soldiers. People up and down, I don't know if King Rui was injured before, but he seems to be struggling with his right hand."

He still remembered that when he entered the tent before, what he saw was King Rui writing a letter. At that time, he felt that writing was not so smooth, and his posture was a bit weird. Thinking of it this way, King Rui must have been injured.

"I heard that King Rui cares about you very much. The reason why he brought your caravan this time is also because he wants to take care of you?" Wei Honghe asked strangely.

"I haven't heard that my seventh brother has such a habit. The concubine in his family is much more beautiful than you. If I find out that you are lying, then don't blame me..." Shao Mujian was full of killing intent.

At this time Yao Lu dared to tell the truth, if he told the truth, he would be decapitated now, and said quickly: "It's all true, King Rui said he likes me!"

"Whether it's true or not, tie him first and bring him to my dear seventh brother." Shao Mujian laughed heartily. "Let's go too!"

The team has drifted away, leaving only an empty camp in an oasis.

Shao Huachi was leading a dozen people to flee in a panic in the desert. Fu Chen followed the pace of the large team while observing, and found that Shao Huachi seemed to be in a panic, but in fact every time he turned in the direction seemed to be planned in advance. It is easy to get lost, especially when fleeing, it is not so easy to accurately grasp the direction.

And the sound of chasing soldiers getting closer and closer, this should be Shao Mujian's first start, a cavalry team!

The front coach, looking at the back representing Shao Huachi galloping his horse, opened the cowhide bag next to the horse, took out the bow and arrow, opened the bow and shot towards Shao Huachi's horse. On the battlefield, there is nothing more deadly for cavalry It is almost the safety of the horse. If the horse is frightened, the person on the horse is not far from death.

This coach has the highest archery skills under Shao Mujian, and his night vision ability is also higher than others.

The war horse was frightened, it was hit in one of its legs, and it yelled towards the sky. Because of the sudden change in Shaohua Pond above, it was too late to appease the horse. , the not-thin hand closest to him wrapped around his waist, hugging him from mid-air to his side in an instant.

Shao Huachi smelled the familiar smell of sweat, and felt the strength of the arm that hugged him. He knew who it was without looking.Besides, if he can bring Fu Chen with him, then Fu Chen has to show his usefulness. Of course, Fu Chen can respond so quickly, which is beyond his expectation. The more he gets in touch with this man, the more he finds that this man is like a mystery.How could a businessman from the Halberd Kingdom be so skilled? Certain thoughts, perceptions of crises, and occasional flaws in his speech were all different from ordinary businessmen.

Shao Huachi quickly adjusted his emotions amidst the surprise, the feeling of being tied to the man's side was not good.He quickly calmed down, and in the next moment, directly borrowed the strength of hugging Fu Chen's waist, and straddled Fu Chen behind him.

And Fu Chen felt that his waist must have been bruised, because it had just borne the weight of a man.

Finally sitting on the horse together, Shao Huachi hugged the man in front of him logically, leaned sideways and whispered in Fu Chen's ear: "Run in the direction I said, remember to walk around the place I said later!"

Fu Chen's ears twitched uncomfortably. According to Shao Huachi's prompt, the two of them walked quickly in the desert under the faint moonlight.Fu Chen's quick shot just now made the soldiers who were preparing for the first aid look admiring. They didn't welcome this cumbersome caravan at first, but they changed a little bit. It seems that there are still people who will repay their kindness.

When Fu Chen arrived at the place Shao Huachi said, he found that there was a city in front of him!

The city, a deserted city, is very dilapidated and in disrepair for a long time. The city wall made of loess seems to be weathered at any time.This city seems to have appeared suddenly. Fu Chen has never heard of a city in the Hushi Desert. The only possibility is the country that disappeared on the Silk Road in the history books, the country of Mirai.

Some people say that the disappearance of the Mirai Kingdom is related to the diversion of the Silk Road. The Silk Road is extremely important to the trade of the Central Plains. Every dynasty and every generation because of migration, farming and garrison, or changes in neighboring countries, it will form Relatively, the roads were changed. As the old roads were abandoned and merchants no longer passed by, the country of Mirai gradually declined. However, some people said that this was inseparable from the severe water shortage in the country of Mirai. The failure of dredging the river was the reason Is the key to its desolation.

These materials flashed through Fu Chen's mind, and at this moment he discovered that there was actually someone in this deserted city opening the dilapidated city gate, and that person was Shao Huachi's personal soldier!

Shao Huachi came here with a purpose, he really had discovered this place a long time ago, the sudden appearance of this desert-covered city is just like its sudden disappearance, it is like a mystery, but Fu Chen feels that this may be related to summer and winter The changing direction of the wind and sand is related to the changing direction of the wind and sand. The change of climate makes this isolated city appear in front of people again from the ground, uncovering the dusty history.

When all of them rode over, because of the detour in advance, the pursuers behind did not catch up immediately.

Fu Chen and Shao Huachi got off their horses, and before they had time to see the ancient city clearly, Shao Huachi led them all to light the torches and climb up the city wall, as if Shao Huachi was waiting for this moment.

Fu Chen also pinched the rammed earth city wall by the way, unexpectedly, with just a light touch, a large piece of this city wall that had been buried underground for a long time fell off, and the ground was covered with powder and sand.

Everyone saw this scene, Fu Chen silently looked at Shao Huachi, so what are you going to use to defend against troops ten times larger than yours?Just rely on this deserted city at any time?

Even Fu Chen never expected to see a scene that he would never forget next, and it was Shao Huachi who shocked him in the true sense.

The seven hundred elite soldiers in the distance also saw the sudden appearance of the deserted city, and they saw Shao Huachi and others on the city wall. This is an earthen wall, and it is easy to fall apart.

Seeing this, Shao Mujian, who was behind the hundred-man army, no matter where the earthen city came from, is not the point, and shouted loudly: "Come on! It's just an earthen wall, without any defensive power!"

As if he heard it, Shao Huachi showed a slightly weird smile. At this moment, he looked at Fu Chen's side face in the light of the torch, and that bumpy face didn't look so ugly under the light of the fire.

"A man once did an interesting experiment for me. He called it an experiment. It's a very fresh word." Shao Huachi smiled inexplicably. Most of the time, King Rui was a cold person, but at this time his smile became more permeable. People, "I really hope that person can see the next scene, this will be the best thank you gift for me to be taken care of by him five years ago."

Fu Chen's eyelids twitched, his heart palpitated briefly, and Shao Huachi's tone made his hair stand on end. Shao Huachi gave him the feeling that there was an unfathomable imperial pressure.

Experimentation, that's not the word of the day.

He seemed to know who Shao Huachi was talking about. Fu Chen quickly connected the previous doubts, thought of something, and suddenly looked down.

At that moment, the place not far below the city wall was filled with wailing.

This is what Shao Huachi said, the biggest show!The previous ones were actually appetizers.

I saw just outside this abandoned Rhine city, when Shou Wang's army was about to rush through, the hundreds of soldiers in front fell into the sand instantly before they reached the city wall. Unbelievable and flustered, some people were begging for help and struggling in the sand, but they sank deeper and deeper, like in a swamp, the more they struggled, the deeper they sank.

The hundreds of infantry behind him and Shao Mujian at the back of the team watched those hundreds of elite soldiers almost swallowed up by the sand in an instant. The scene was like hell.

The soldiers saw those comrades who had fallen into the sand, one by one joining the ranks of rescuers, but unexpectedly dragged on more and more, and all of them sank.

It was only then that Shao Mujian realized the seriousness of the matter. This force was his greatest strength, and many of them were borrowed. It didn't matter if only a few of these people died, and they could make up for it at any time. There is no way to explain it!

"No one is allowed to go down to rescue!" The strong man broke his wrist, he had to give up such a large group of people, Shao Mujian suddenly looked at the figure on the rammed earth wall.

How ruthless, old seven!

You are the scariest of all brothers.

Quicksand, one of the most terrifying enemies in the desert, can devour everything.

If he hadn't deftly bypassed the quicksand area according to the route Shao Huachi said at the beginning, then in the darkness, they might be the ones who died.

Shao Huachi took advantage of this, and successfully killed the elite soldiers of the First Prince with a force ten times lower than that of the opponent, and many of these soldiers were soldiers sent by the prefect to defend the border. If so many died, it would definitely cause a chain attack. effect.

For Fu Chen, it was nearly six years ago. At that time, he was loyal to Shao Huachi. The time was not long after there was a vicious dog in the palace, and it was also when Shao Huachi had just emerged in front of Emperor Jin Cheng. It was decided to cancel the decision of the Seventh Prince to be a hostage and change it to the Fifteenth Prince. At that time, the Twelfth Prince Shao Jinyan and the Eighth Prince Shao Jiamao were in the escort team, so he asked Shao Huachi to send someone to stop the two princes on the way. Being able to guide them not to come back in a short period of time in the northwest will buy enough time for Shao Huachi to gain a foothold in the palace.

It's just that I didn't expect that some of Shaohuachi's soldiers died at that time. Those who survived said that they encountered a terrible subsidence in the desert, and many brothers could not be rescued.

In fact, it is not subsidence, it is quicksand.Fu Chen asked someone to fetch a few bowls of sand. The sand contained fine sand, clay and salt water. In reality, this water was groundwater in the desert. Simplified natural science class, simply speaking, this is a rheology experiment. The sand formed in this way will become more and more viscous as time goes by under the condition of complete stillness, but when it reaches a certain critical line, the structure of the sand will be in the Liquefied under the action of salt water, the separated sand surface and water will form upper and lower regions respectively. The upper part is sandy soil, while the lower part is water. At this time, if external force enters the sandy soil, it is very easy to sink.The most frightening thing is that it looks no different from ordinary deserts on the surface, which makes people hard to guard against.

As long as someone steps into this quicksand area, it will be like falling into a swamp. If you don’t struggle, there is still a glimmer of hope to save your life. Once you struggle, you will only sink deeper and deeper, because the quicksand will accelerate separation under external pressure, just like being absorbed. same.And Fu Chen still remembered that there was a data showing that trying to pull out an arm in the quicksand was like dragging a truck with bare hands, and it was almost impossible to rescue.

During the experiment at that time, Fu Chen only talked about the dangers of the desert, because quicksand is not so common, especially in such an era of information occlusion, not to mention people in the Central Plains, even the caravans that walk in the desert all year round are not necessarily Everyone gets to hit quicksand once.The lack of common sense made the soldiers below panic and struggle desperately.

After listening to Fu Chen's simple explanation at that time, Shao Huachi still seemed half-understandable. Fu Chen really thought that the other party didn't understand, so he said that anyway, Shao Huachi might not be able to touch the desert in his life, even if he didn't know It doesn't matter, it's over.

It turned out that that person might have understood everything he said, but he was still acting, pretending not to remember it.

Not only memorize it, but also use it alive!

Fu Chen looked at the unfathomable Shaohua Pool beside him, and actually saw a trace of soaring purple air behind him. Fu Chen blinked and found that there was nothing there. It was like a momentary illusion. Painful, leaning on the city wall, gasping for a few breaths.

What happened back then, so long has passed, the truth may only be known by the person involved.

But if his identity was known, with Shao Huachi's current disposition, how would he deal with him?

At least he made it very clear that he, who has not gathered his strength yet, must not be exposed. He must at least last until Yangmu City, where Fat Tiger and the others are waiting to meet him, and he must not startle the enemy now.

No matter how thoughtful Fu Chen was, he would never have thought that he would meet Shao Huachi when he was about to walk out of the desert in the last half month.

"Shoot arrows! What did they do to us? We can pay back now." After Shao Huachi gave the order, amidst the sound of crying and wailing, he turned to look at the quiet man beside him. The man had been very uncomfortable since just now, He gently attached his hand to the back of Fu Chen's hand.

Fu Chen shuddered.

"Are you afraid?" Even though Shao Huachi said that, he didn't move his hand away, calm and composed, his eyes were shining with an unknown light under the firelight.

It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I realized now that I was wrong. You are a real wolf king.

Then, a subordinate who was once assassinated by you, I am afraid you will not let it go!
