Eight hundred and seventeenth chapter: must not be in strife
- >->
Latest website: Fan Sheng's behavior in Chang'an City has won two precious days for Jing Xiang to leave the city. Two days are enough for Dad Tao to take Jing Xiang far away.
People like Jingxiang have always been people living in the clouds. This time, he has seen what a profession is and specializes in his expertise. In just two days, Dad Tao took him to change his identities, jumping around by land and water, walking on horseback and riding on horseback, riding on horseback, hiking across passes, hiking through alleys, and climbing mountains. As time goes by, they are getting further and further away from Chang'an.
After confirming that the greatest danger had left, Jing Xiang also used the emergency summoning order left to him by Fan Sheng. Anyone who could understand these summoning orders was Fan Sheng's confidant subordinate. From the third day after leaving Chang'an, seven or eight staff members from the front office of the Palace had gathered around Jing Xiang.
Dark Tao originally disagreed. For him, the more people, the bigger the goal. Although he is far away from Chang'an City now, he is still far from truly escape from danger. He would rather take Jingxiang away by himself. But he also understood that Jingxiang was not completely at ease with him.
The only thing that made him feel comfortable was that Jing Xiang gave the command of these people completely to him. He also pointed these people unceremoniously. As a gangster, Dad Tao was finally satisfied with being able to give orders to these people in a big way.
Dark Tao is not a real blind man. He just has very small eyes, giving people the feeling that his eyes seem to be closed from beginning to end, which is why he has such a famous name. But although his eyes are small, it does not prevent him from becoming a famous ruthless man in the underworld of Chang'an. As Hao Ren's right-hand man, Dark Tao is also a person who can stop children from crying at night.
It was already dark, but Dark Tao led his group to find an abandoned village in a familiar way.
The material is not big, and it only looks like seven or eight houses. Of course, it can no longer be considered a house, because here, there are basically only some broken walls standing alone.
"Jing Xiang, I'll rest here tonight." Tao Xiaozi said: "You can't go to Dajian to stay in a hotel now, let alone go to a crowded place. I guess the people in the City Inspection Division should have already touched the taste now, and they must have been chased. We people cannot be traced without any trace. The City Inspection Division may be good at following people."
"You will arrange everything!" Jing Xiang nodded.
A abandoned house with only four walls was covered with weeds half a person deep, but now it was now withered and yellow. He directed everyone to cut the weeds, and then went to the ruins to find a lot of broken wood and rotten boards, which caught fire. Because of the existence of four walls, it was not easy to see the fire here being discovered, and the rising blue smoke was also unaware of such a moonless night.
The temperature has dropped, the wind is not strong, but it is enough to make people feel the chill. Fortunately, it can cause a fire, which makes the cold night not that difficult.
However, Dazhao Tao was under a stone millstone outside the wall that was almost half buried by weeds. He dug it with a knife for a while. When he returned to the house, he had already wrapped an oil cloth in his hand.
"What is this?" Jing Xiang looked at him in confusion. This thing was obviously buried here before.
Dad Tao laughed, sat cross-legged beside Jing Xiang and said, "Jing Xiang, don't be afraid of you laughing at me. For example, if we are in this industry, we must have a cunning escape from three caves. Escape is common for us, so I will make some preparations frequently. Now I will take you with me, one of my lines. On this line, I have hidden a lot of things."
Jing Xiang suddenly realized: "No wonder you took us with you and you were familiar with each other. It turned out that you were prepared."
"We people who work with their heads are not only guarding against the officers and soldiers chasing us, but also guarding against the fact that they are peers and peers. How can we live today if we are not careful?" Daddy Tao was a little proud. He picked up the dagger in his hand, cut open the package in his hand, and took out the things from the inside.
"Jingxiang, this is a sleeping bag, produced in the north, a good thing, sheltered from the wind and rain. Look, there is skin on the outside and cashmere inside. Not to mention that it is now, even if it is three feet of snow, it will be very warm and you may have frostbite. This thing will be used by you tonight." Pick up a square folded thing, shook it open, and Dad Tao handed it to Jingxiang: "You are not thicker than us."
"It is also one of the goods you smuggled from the north?" Jing Xiang asked with a smile after touching the soft and soft velvet.
"This is not." said Dark Tao, "This is a military product from the north, and there was no channel to get some, but Brother Hao asked the third prince, and the third prince said that he could not afford the equipment. So we made some by ourselves, like those of us who often sleep in the wild, which is a great thing."
Jing Xiang was silent for a moment and said, "What do you mean is that the Tang army in the north have equipped soldiers with this thing on a large scale?"
"Yes!" Tao Xiazi nodded: "The soldiers each have one."
"You often travel to the north. What do you think is the biggest difference between them and us? I mean the army!"
Dark Tao hesitated for a moment and said, "Jing Xiang, the biggest impression I have given is that the army of the Tang people in the north is very well equipped and treated very well. Even our Chang'an imperial guards are much worse than their ordinary troops!"
"Blind Tao, you are making others ambitious and destroying your own power!" On one side, a spy from the front office of the Palace was a little dissatisfied: "Can you win a war with good equipment and good treatment? I have a full heart and warmth. After a long time, can these soldiers fight? I still think that if you are a soldier, you have to work harder and have a desperate battle."
"That's what it means!" Tao Xiazi nodded, "But I've seen their military training, it's really a life-threatening thing, like a real war. I also heard that their usual training allows dead people."
"Where did you hear this?"
"We have some contact with some of their officers, otherwise, where will these things be obtained?" Dad Tao pointed to the sleeping bag and took out the can of iron from the package. "Jingxiang, here is jerky, put it by the fire and roast it. It can be eaten when it is hot."
"Is this their military supplies?"
"Oh, this thing is sold openly in the north, and anyone can buy it, but it is also a standard equipment in the army." Tao Xiaozi said: "There are many strange things there. Look, there are special ingredients like this, which are made in factories. A bowl of white water and a bun of such ingredients can be turned into a bowl of delicious soup immediately. Brothers, come and try it. In the north, the person who made this kind of ingredients has now become a monster, making this thing for the army. I heard that the court over there has also awarded him a title!"
Dark Tao distributed several packets of materials to several spies beside him. Then he took out a crossbow bow and several crossbow arrows from the package and shook them in front of everyone. "The crossbow of the Tang army is specially used for cavalry, and it is a three-in-one shot. Within ten steps, it can easily break the armor. For us, it is a weapon for murder. However, they are very careful and difficult to get this thing."
"You are well prepared." Jing Xiang shook his head and said.
"There is no way, prepare more often, so as not to catch blind people when you are really unlucky." Dazhaozi said with a smile.
The water boiled, and several spies tore open the pack of materials and poured it into the water. In a moment, a strong fragrance spread.
"Respect yourselves, try it!"
Take the soup from a spy, Jingxiang took a sip, looked up at the dark sky of Wuqima, but became meditated.
"Isn't it delicious?" Tao Xiaozi took the bowl, took a sip, smacked his lips, and said, "It's so fresh."
"Blind Tao, do you think if the north starts a war with us, can we win?" Jing Xiang asked suddenly.
Dark Tao was stunned, but couldn't speak. After a while, he smiled and said, "Jing Xiang, how can we little people understand these major national affairs?"
Jing Xiang smiled bitterly. It was not that the other party didn't understand, but that he was just unwilling to say it.
Sleeping bags, material bags, cans, and other things seem to be very related to war, but they reflect the strong financial resources of the northerners, the potential of war, and the ability to fight. A national war, the bravery of soldiers is only a small part of the reason, and more of it is a competition of national strength. In recent years, Li Ze seems to have stopped fighting, but in fact he is accumulating strength. In the past two years, Daliang has been constantly expanding and looting in the south, not just trying to fill the treasury in a short period of time and be able to fight a big battle.
The problem is that what is stolen in this way will eventually be used up. Li Ze's endless cycle is the right way. Once the two sides start a war, if the beam can win in a short time, it will be a beam. Otherwise, once the stalemate is held, the one that fails will inevitably be the beam.
Li Ze's army had already jumped over the simplest, sufficient food and supplies, but Daliang was still working hard for this goal.
What’s even more painful is that civil strife broke out again in Daliang.
He picked up the bowl and drank the soup in big mouthfuls.
No, we must not let the fight within Daliang. If Zhu Youyu and Zhu Youzhen really had a large-scale conflict, Li Ze would only laugh at him. No matter who the two brothers finally won, they would only make wedding clothes for Li Ze.
Only by uniting and uniting in the external world can Daliang have a chance.
His Majesty the Emperor must be gone now, but I think that even in the dark, he would agree with his own actions. After all, this is for their Zhu family. This time, he must try every means to convince Zhu Youzhen to bow to Zhu Youyu temporarily, and the brothers fight against his insults outside the wall. There will be opportunities to calculate his own affairs in the future.
