ancient criminal minds

As soon as Rong Zhen and Lu Zheng and their party arrived at the border town, Song Zhiyi and Nie Zhishu came to welcome them with a large group of guards.It's no wonder they mobilized so many teachers. When Rong Zhen said that he would go to Guning County to pick up Lu Zheng, the eyes of these two generals were really shocked.They can be regarded as old people who have followed Rong Zhen for many years, knowing that the Lord has always been cold-hearted, and they have never seen him take someone so seriously.So this time the two of them came here specially to pick her up, and they also wanted to see if His Royal Highness could handle the future princess.

The result naturally disappointed the two of them.

When they arrived at the border town, Rong Zhen and Lu Zheng changed carriages.Compared with the horse-drawn carriage, this carriage is obviously much more gorgeous, but it is obvious that this carriage is not used by Rong Zhen often, Lu Zheng can even smell the tung oil on the carriage that has not completely dried.In fact, after thinking about it, I know that as a general, Rong Zhen always rides a horse, and the city probably didn't prepare a carriage here, and this carriage should be made temporarily because of his injury.

But Lu Zheng guessed wrong, this carriage was specially prepared for him.Rong Zhen is not a person who particularly cares about enjoyment, and he has lived in the army for many years.If it wasn't for this young master with delicate skin and tender flesh, why bother to order the carriage again?

Outside the carriage, Song Zhiyi frowned and whispered to Nie Zhishu: "Did I succeed or not? Why can't I see it?"

Nie Zhishu sneered: "Being the leader of Ye Xiao really delayed you, Mr. Song. As it is, it would be more suitable to be the mother of the Nanfeng Hall."

Song Zhiyi was not offended by these words, but looked at Nie Zhishu with a teasing look on his face: "Okay, big man, you've already learned badly after only a short time in Yanjing, and you even know about Nanfeng Pavilion, tell me, are you Do you like those who are charming to the bone, or those who are pure and pleasant?"

Nie Zhishu's face turned dark: "What nonsense!"

Song Zhiyi laughed loudly: "You are a little bit worse than your cousin in trying to anger me."

At this moment, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing Rong Zhen's indifferent face, beckoning to Song Zhiyi.

Song Zhiyi hastily greeted him: "What's your order, cousin?"

Rong Zhen said indifferently: "You go to Huaishu Lane to buy some food, and then go to Yong'an Lane to buy some wine."

Song Zhiyi's eyes lit up: "But Young Master Lu wants to eat?" But then he was puzzled and said, "The wine in Yong'an Lane is really good, but there are some bad food in Huaishu Lane, why don't you go to the one next to Yong'an Lane?" Wouldn't it be appropriate for Jiayue to come to a restaurant to buy?" The most important thing is that the distance between these two alleys is quite far.

Rong Zhen didn't lift his eyes: "Did I say that I bought it for food?"

"what?"

"You're too noisy, and this time just keeps you clear."

"!!!"

Nie Zhishu couldn't bear to laugh loudly at Song Zhiyi for a long time. Seeing Song Zhiyi's face that dared not speak out, Nie Zhishu's original resentment was swept away, and he immediately felt refreshed.

But at this moment, Rong Zhen turned his gaze to Nie Zhishu: "Zhishu, you go with him."

"Gah?!"

This time, Song Zhiyi was the one who laughed at him, and he didn't care about the punishment anymore, he hooked Nie Zhishu's neck with a proud face: "General Nie, let's take a walk with me."

Nie Zhishu glared, "Get your claws off!"

Song Zhi accepted his opinion, and looked at the sky specially: "Let's hurry up, otherwise we won't be able to catch lunch. I don't think my cousin will ask the kitchen to leave us a meal."

"Stop rambling! I'm all troubled by you."

The two left in such a noisy manner.

Only then did Rong Zhen put down the curtain of the car, and said to Lu Zheng, "Okay, all the spectators have been driven away, can you sit closer?"

Lu Zheng was quite helpless, why didn't he see that His Highness the King of Chu was so childish, he couldn't help but said, "What did you say to them, why do they look at me so strangely?"

Rong Zhen took the teapot off the stove, poured a cup of tea for both of them, and said, "Oh? Then this punishment is a bit light."

"Hey!"

Rong Zhen handed the tea to Lu Zheng, and said softly: "We must teach them to be more modest, how can they keep staring at the future princess like this?"

After such a long time, Lu Zheng almost forgot how flirtatious this His Highness the King of Chu is. He is no match for a novice driver on the road, so when the carriage arrived, he quickly jumped off and rushed into the mansion.

Rong Zhen couldn't help chuckling in the carriage, he really didn't like Song Zhiyi and they looked at Lu Zheng with the way they looked at novelty items, but Lu Zheng's performance really made him feel very cute.He had heard the allusion of Ai Wu and Wu when he was young, and thought that with his cold and rational temperament, he would never meet someone in his life who could make him let go of his guard and like him, let alone love.It's just that there is a destiny in the dark, and he still can't escape after all, but it doesn't make him disgusted with this kind of fate arrangement, he will only enjoy it.

Rong Zhen got out of the carriage and ordered the housekeeper to look for Lu Zheng, but he came to the study first.

In the study, Su Dai is waiting there.Seeing Rong Zhen coming in alone, Su Dai was a little puzzled: "Didn't Master Song and General Nie go to greet you? Why haven't they come back yet?"

Rong Zhen said indifferently: "They behave frivolously, I asked them to bask in the sun to clear their minds."

Su Dai couldn't help laughing, he was naturally a little curious about who could impress this Lord, but he was old and mature after all, and he wouldn't mess around like Song Zhiyi and Nie Zhishu.Hearing how much Rong Zhen defended that Young Master Lu, Su Dai knew, but he didn't hesitate to ask, but changed the topic: "The last general has received the letter from Lord Jianhou, about He will arrive at the border town in a day, but I don't know how His Highness will arrange him?"

Of course, this sentence is not asking where Jian Yu should live, but asking Rong Zhen what attitude they want to treat Jian Yu.

Rongzhen had already said these words to Qingluan before, but now he said it again to Su Dai, but it was much more in-depth: "The situation in Yanjing is unclear now, and it is not appropriate for us to take the lead at this time. And this Lord Jianhou, this king I have dealt with him in Yanjing, and he has no lack of scheming. He has jumped from guarding the imperial mausoleum to being the leader of an army. I don't believe this is His Majesty's idea. He came to Northern Xinjiang this time to win Credit, before knowing how many hole cards he has, this king is not willing to be his enemy."

Su Dai said again: "Then will he pose any threat to His Highness?"

Rong Zhen shook his head: "Now that King Wei's party members are revived, since he has established a line with King Wei, the person he has to be careful of is not this king, but His Majesty. He also understands that this king doesn't want to be with him. Enemy, why is he willing to provoke me again?"

Su Dai breathed a sigh of relief: "Since His Highness said so, the general will know what to do."

"It's not necessary to let him go too smoothly." Rong Zhen pondered, "There may not be any spies in his team. Although I am willing to give him the credit, I don't want to get involved in those things. You have done it properly. Some, don't delay the business."

Su Dai understood, and mentioned another thing: "Although the firebolt has many shortcomings, its power is not weak. Should Master Song spend some time on this matter, even though it cannot be used to attack the city in the future , but the effect of defending the city is excellent."

Rong Zhen shook his head: "If King Wei dares to release this kind of thing, he won't let Jie people learn it. Since Jian Yu is so confident, there must not be many such things among Jie people. Don't waste manpower and material resources on this matter." On the contrary, we found something else in Guning County this time."

"Oh?" Su Dai was still a little disappointed at first, but he was refreshed when he heard Rong Zhen say this: "I don't know what it is?"

Rong Zhen paused: "This thing is called oil, it burns when exposed to fire, and it cannot be extinguished by water."

Su Dai was shocked: "There is such a thing!"

In fact, on the way, Lu Zheng also talked about some uses of oil with Rong Zhen, and he quickly talked about the method of making earthen incendiary bombs.

Boys usually talk about military football or games when they get together. There is a roommate in Lu Zheng’s university dormitory. Yes, it’s the scumbag boy mentioned earlier who dumped girls by pretending to be gay. He is quite familiar with military affairs. , Most of the weapon names come from the mouth, and the greatest achievement of this person is that he actually freed up the "incendiary bomb" when he was in his hometown during the winter vacation.

Of course, this thing is not alcohol, but a common weapon used by irregular forces such as guerrillas and street rioters.It is also another name for earth-made incendiary bombs.

At that time when everyone was in the night talk together, everyone was extremely interested in this, and this person happily told the process, and Lu Zheng naturally remembered it.

On the way back to the border town from Guning County, Lu Zheng and Rong Zhen were chatting in the carriage, and they mentioned oil by the way. In our modern society, oil is closely related to our life. Whoever owns the oil field will hold it The global economic artery!Look at the local tyrants in the Arab region, and look at the US-Iraq war back then. It wasn't all caused by oil.

Of course, in this ancient time when the steam engine was not even invented, even if there was oil, it was useless, which also made Lu Zheng's dream of getting rich overnight.However, he still talked to Rong Zhen about some uses of oil in modern society with nostalgia, and he said, "Then what kind of fire and thunderbolt, it feels like gunpowder made by local methods. In history, oil can also be used Create an awesome weapon!"

Lu Zheng forgot these things after he said them, but Rong Zhen remembered them in his heart.Although he didn't intend to actually verify the incendiary bomb that Lu Zheng said, he still sent people to surround the back mountain.Now that Su Dai talked about the fire and thunderbolt again, Rong Zhen revealed something.

But Su Dai walked back and forth excitedly: "Your Highness, if there is this thing, it will be just around the corner to destroy the Jie people."

Rong Zhen shook his head: "I don't intend to use this thing against Jie people."

Su Dai was startled: "Why?"

"The Jie people have already become grasshoppers after autumn, and they can't jump for two days." Rong Zhen said lightly, "Compared to destroying them, this king is more concerned about how they got online with King Wei under our heavy surveillance. of."

"Could it be... there is a ghost inside?"

"It's not necessarily a ghost." Rong Zhen lowered his eyes, "I'm afraid that the king of Wei has a method that we don't know about, and that's the most important thing."

Su Dai wondered: "Your Highness is worried about King Wei..."

"Although the current king is very capable, those nephews of this king are useless. Although the government is still stable now, but King Wei has been dormant for so many years. Since he has chosen to take the lead at this time, if he is not interested in that position How can people believe it?" Rong Zhen frowned slightly, "It's just that the methods I've seen him use repeatedly in the past six months are really a bit strange, and people can't figure out his mind."

Su Dai has been dealing with the war in the border town, and he is not very clear about what happened in Yanjing, but he still said: "Your Highness, what is not clear, this king of Wei clearly regards you as a thorn in his side, and everything is not right. They are all directed at you? It can be seen that in his heart, those princes are not as threatening as you."

Rong Zhen shook his head, but did not explain any more. In fact, as he investigated the old case 20 years ago, he felt that the fog was getting thicker, and at the same time, he became more and more curious about Wei Wang.
