Li Ji wrote a memorial to the emperor while he was ill. This may be the last memorial of Li Ji's life.
Except for the two parties involved, no one knew the contents of the memorial. After the emperor read it, he burned it in front of Li Chengxiu.
"The book is presented to the Taiwei, the Governor of Yangzhou, with the posthumous title "Zhenwu", and he will be buried with Zhaoling. This is what I and your father have discussed long ago. The tomb is based on the precedents of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, the famous generals of the Western Han Dynasty, and is modeled after Yinshan and Tieshan.
As well as the construction of Udtun Mountain, this is also approved by me.
The issue of enjoying the ancestral temple is not too abrupt, but it is not a good idea to disturb Taizong, let’s wait until later.
Finally, let me tell you Aye, I gave him the honor of escaping unharmed. What can he give me?
Also, my last request was not granted."
Li Zhi gave no formal instructions to Li Chengxiu. All his words were verbal and seemed likely to change at any time.
Yunchu got up early in the morning and was going to Lishan Mountain to meet Duke Ying.
Considering that Li Ji was suffering from typhoid fever, it was obviously not a rational act for Yun Chu to see him at this time. However, Yun Chu still insisted on going, and Yu Xiurong no longer stopped him. He just said that after he came back from Lishan
, you can live in a separate courtyard in Bashang, and you can go home only after you are sure that you have not been infected with the disease.
Yunchu agreed and set off for Lishan with twelve generals.
The journey from Chang'an to Lintong, where Lishan Mountain is located, is only 60 miles. The bay-red horses galloped at full speed, and it took less than an hour.
In order to avoid being scorched by the scorching sun, when Yunchu left Chang'an, there were some white fish belly on the horizon.
Although Yunchu had set off very early, the road was still full of convoys. After asking the leading military commander, he learned that all the vehicles were loaded with military supplies sent to Luoyang.
Judging from the vigilant looks on their faces, and the fact that they were not going through the canal, it was obvious that the carriage was probably filled with gunpowder.
In such a hot weather, Yunchu didn't want to get too close to the gunpowder cart, so he hurried past the convoy and headed to the front.
After running for fifty miles, the sun came out, and the guy looked bright and white from the moment he showed his head. The slightly cooler earth immediately became hot.
The bay-red horse was already sweating profusely from running, so Yunchu decided to rest for a while at a place with mountain spring water in front of him to drink from the horse.
Spring water flowed from a mulberry forest, and a group of idlers were sleeping beside the spring. The generals dispersed the idlers and occupied this shady place.
The bay horse pays great attention to health care. He did not immediately go to the spring to drink water. Instead, he stepped into the shallow spring water, endured his thirst, and started to cool down his hooves and legs first. Unlike other war horses who were already in greedy pain.
Drink the cold spring water.
The reason why it does this is because this is what Yunchu did.
When Yunchu, who put his legs into the spring water, started to drink the water from the kettle, the bay horse came to the uppermost reaches of the spring water and put his mouth on the water to drink.
Just as Yunchu took a drink of water, the general came over and whispered: "The way forward is clear."
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Let's explore again!"
The general ordered him to leave, but Yun Chu had no intention of leaving the mulberry forest. Many short mulberry trees were already covered with fat silkworms. Judging from their shiny fat bodies, it was time to spin silk soon.
Silkworms climb trees. This is a new initiative of a silkworm doctor from Sinong Temple. The premise is to make sure there are no birds in the mulberry forest. It seems that this mulberry forest should be the doctor's experimental field.
However, judging from the corpses of silkworms falling everywhere on the ground, this doctor's experiment was a failure, and further work needs to be done to find and solve the problem.
Yun Chu carefully recalled that even in his previous era, no one seemed to have raised silkworms on mulberry trees. Yun Chu decided to cancel the funding for this doctor after returning.
After lying in the mulberry forest for another half an hour, when the general came again to report that no danger was found ahead, Yunchu got up and prepared to officially enter Lishan Mountain.
Yun Chu felt that he had many enemies, and people all over the Tang Dynasty wanted to kill him.
Although everyone is still warm and close when they meet, if Yun Chu thinks that he is a person who is loved by everyone because of this, that would be too optimistic.
From the moment he left Chang'an, Yun Chu didn't feel very good. This sense of crisis was developed in the Western Regions. Like a wolf, it was sometimes surprisingly accurate.
"Your Majesty, the front is the Lishan Pass. There are few brothers, so we cannot search all the places where the enemy can hide at once. If your Majesty thinks it is inappropriate, I think you might as well go back immediately and bring more people over next time, Li
The mountains and valleys are not deep, so as long as there are two hundred people, the enemy will not be able to surround us."
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Send someone to tell Duke Ying and ask him to send someone to pick me up."
The general nodded and left. He had followed Yun Chu for a long time, and he did not think that this was a sign of timidity.
At this time, the convoy transporting gunpowder also arrived at Mulberry Forest. Yunchu took a look at the general at the head, and without saying a word, he jumped on the back of the bay-red horse with bare feet, patted it gently, and the bay-red horse
So he plunged into the depths of the mulberry forest.
The generals who were resting also followed suit and jumped on their horses to chase their master.
Yunchu quickly rode out of the mulberry forest, stopped his horse, and said to the generals who were following him: "Put on your armor."
The generals opened their horse bags and began to help Yun Chu put on his armor. In just a moment, Yun Chu had already finished putting on his armor. He picked up his horse and said to the generals: "Let's go into the mountain."
The leader of the family general said anxiously, "It is very dangerous to enter the mountain at this time, so it is better for my subordinates to put on the battle armor of the monarch."
Yun Chu glanced at this brainless general and said, "Is there any difference between your armor and mine?"
The leader of the family generals said: "In this case, you might as well go at the back and let the generals be in the middle."
Yun Chu looked at the eight generals around him and said, "Nine people, there is no order of precedence."
After that, he took the initiative to avoid the carriages filled with gunpowder and officially entered Lishan Mountain.
The hot spring villa at the foot of Lishan Mountain belongs to the royal family. It belonged to the royal family in the pre-Sui Dynasty. There are no hot springs on the mountain. However, Li Ji's villa is on the mountainside, where it is cool.
Occasionally you will see some woodcutter on the mountain road. These woodcutter's luck seems to be very good today. On weekdays, these woodcutter can only collect some dead branches and leaves in the mountain. Today, the firewood they carry is full of firewood.
The best firewood that some woodcutters carry is simply broken open from the finest pine wood.
Yun Chu turned his horse's head and left. At this time, there was another convoy on their way, and the road down the mountain was completely blocked.
Yunchu suddenly laughed, took off his armor, threw it to the leader of the family, put the bow, arrows and sword on his back, inserted four short spears into the leather sheath on his back, jumped up from his horse and grabbed a slanted spear.
The pine trees came across and entered the pine forest of Lishan Mountain.
"Take the bay-red horse and go straight to Ying Gong's farewell estate."
These were the words Yun Chu left to the leader of the family before he disappeared.
The leader of the family looked at the motorcade in front of him, and then at the woodcutters carrying firewood behind him, his eyes wide open.
Just when he was ready to fight, the woodcutter walked past them intently, and the convoy also bypassed them without any harm and continued up the mountain.
Yun Chu squatted on the horizontal branch of a pine tree and witnessed the movements of the woodcutter and the convoy. Finally, following the tail of his eight generals, he kept jumping among the dense pine trees and went straight to the mountainside.
The closer he got to Bieye, the more Yunchu's heart sank. At first, he thought this was a test for himself by the military. As he watched from some pine trees that were suitable as observation points,
After seeing a few corpses, he no longer thought so.
At this time, he began to regret that he had been too insensitive to the movements in Lishan during this period.
Yun Chu's nostrils flared, he raised his head suddenly, and hid his body in the thick pine branches. He didn't see any movement for a long time, and then he quickly climbed up the dense pine tree in front of him like an ape.
In the middle of the tree, Yunchu found a tree house. Looking at the furnishings of the tree house, this tree house had been here for a while, and it was set up extremely secretly. People below could not see it, but sitting there
In the tree house, you can see the gate of Ying Gong's Farewell Industry.
Yun Chu stretched out his thumb, first closed his left eye, opened his right eye, then closed his left eye again, opened his right eye, and measured the distance from the tree to the gate of Ying Gong's villa. It was not close, but it was right.
The advantage is that it is within the attack range of the crossbow.
Looking up, Yunchu stepped on the tree house and climbed up for a while. Sure enough, he saw a destroyed big yellow crossbow that only three people could control. Next to the big yellow crossbow, there was a man with a pale face lying upside down.
Black corpse.
The smell of corpse odor is not strong, and the formation time of this corpse should not exceed ten hours.
There were no distinguishing features from the corpse's clothing, and the serial number on the large yellow crossbow that was supposed to belong to the military had been filed off with a wooden file.
Yun Chu looked around and saw nothing special, so he descended again and entered the tree house.
The tree house was well arranged. It contained not only blankets, but also a bag of dry food and a large water storage bag. Yunchu ignored these things and carefully looked at the knot on the water storage bag.
The rope is a cowhide rope and the knot is a horse buckle.
Yun Chu pulled the node of the knot, and the water storage bag was opened immediately. The advantage of this kind of knot is that it is easy to open when you find the right node. If you pull hard, it will become tighter and tighter.
Yunchu learned from the force with which he pulled the knot just now that the people who originally lived in this wooden house should have come from the grassland, not from the Western Regions.
"Turks?"
But the warrior who died on it had no Turkic characteristics. He was killed by a knife from behind through the throat.
The knife that stabbed this guy to death was probably a short knife.
Yunchu sat in the tree house and quietly checked the situation of Ying Gong's bieye for a while. His twelve generals had arrived at the bieye gate, but they did not go in. They found a shady place and sat in a circle.
Come down.
Yun Chu came up again, hung the body on a thick branch, tied the top of the branch with the broken bowstring of the big yellow crossbow, and then used the winch on the big yellow crossbow to pull the branch hard, waiting for the thick branch to
When it started to creak, he stopped, and then cut off the bow string with one knife, and the branch that was pulled like a bent bow swung out with a whoosh. At the same time, the corpse was designed by Yun Chu.
The simple stone was thrown far away.
Every time you hear the sound of a corpse falling to the ground, it must have fallen on a tree in the distance, or been pierced by a branch.
After doing these things, Yun Chu sat quietly in the tree house, looked at the quiet Ying Gong Villa and said to himself: "Just die, do you have to make things so complicated and confusing?"
