"My lord, do you believe what 'that person' says?"
Cheng Yu looked at Li Shushi who was about to return to his camp. He hesitated for a long time and finally asked what was on his mind.
"You all know the conversation that day. We have bigger troubles than those puppets, so in this case, we should unite more forces that can be united."
"But their destination is the far west."
"First of all," Li Shushi turned around and stretched out a finger, "not causing trouble is also a kind of strength. Besides, if we think about it from another angle, we have actually poached each other's corner. And secondly," Li Shushi stretched out his finger again.
Pointing out a finger, "We don't know if that thing is the only one. Maybe there is another existence of the same level in the west, and maybe there are other troublesome guys. So instead of letting trouble stay by your side that you can't completely rest assured, then
It would also be good to divert the trouble to the west."
"My lord, you seem to be very sure that the second point will definitely appear."
"I have found reliable intelligence sources that confirmed that there was indeed a mythical age in this world. Although humans eventually became the masters of the land, no one knows where those failed guys are hiding, so you have to be on guard."
"Compared with such enemies, battles between princes are like children's play."
"So neither I nor Cao Mengde are in the mood to fight in this situation, because it is also a waste of energy, and the result is definitely what our common enemy would like to see.
.”
Cheng Yu did not express his position on Li Shushi's statement. He did not know how much Cao Cao knew about this issue. After all, unlike Jia Xu, he was in charge of internal and external intelligence work. Therefore, he had reservations about Li Shushi's decision.
, and he also believed that Jia Xu would not completely trust the guy who was also listed as a key concern by Li Shushi.
War is like flowing water. The water is unpredictable and the soldiers are unpredictable, because the human heart is the most complicated thing in the world. Maybe one moment the two sides will abandon their past grudges for the common enemy, and those who have fought life and death will become brothers fighting side by side. But
Maybe at the next moment, when the enemy's threat is slightly reduced, the brothers who once fought side by side will start to call the enemies who stabbed each other again.
Not to mention staying with the emperor for a long time. After enjoying the taste of power, no matter it is Cheng Yu or Jia Xu who is hiding in the dark, they will not believe that Cao Cao will really give up the idea of having more power.
Opportunities. The desire for power will not only make a person burst out with unprecedented power and energy. It can also make people get lost and take risks.
Of course, in the current situation of a powerful enemy, Cheng Yu would not take the initiative to advise Li Shushi to "resolve the internal situation first before fighting foreign enemies", so he chose to respond to Li Shushi in silence, and he believed that Li Shushi would definitely understand what he meant.
idea.
In comparison, those puppets are actually more trustworthy because they are not living people.
Just like why those emperors like to use eunuchs and pure ministers, it is not because of how high their abilities are. How great their abilities are, of course they cannot be without abilities. Otherwise, people who have no use value will naturally not be qualified to be used. But compared to
The relationship between these two subordinates is simpler because they can recruit talents with stronger abilities. As a superior emperor, it is easier to control them. The emperor will think that he can give them power and he can naturally take it back.
But seriously speaking, this is of course an illusion. Even if it does not belong to the "three major illusions in life", it is not inferior to those three illusions.
Therefore, although he had reached a certain consensus with the former emperor, Li Shushi still did not relax his vigilance. The two armies, the North Route Army and the East Route Army, returned to their pre-war stations and guarded the transportation arteries leading to the Central Plains and Bingzhou.
and ferry, while the West Route Army stationed in Chang'an to ensure that this special city has enough troops to deal with all possible problems.
However, the former emperor still made a little "joke" with the Bingzhou Army before leaving.
Almost overnight, under various surveillance methods, the local puppet army that still had tens of thousands of soldiers disappeared without a trace. If it weren't for the tents standing on the land, there would be no trace of them.
There is an earthen hill that has become bare and looks like the base of an altar. You may think that those earthen dolls have never appeared.
Even when you are still busy figuring out how to deal with the remains of those who died in the war, this weird feeling is particularly strong.
The Bingzhou Army was indeed frightened by the enemy's last remaining move.
"I'm afraid this should be the handiwork of the other party's civilian troops."
No one objected to Jia Xu's words because there was no better explanation.
In fact, everyone has been convinced that there is a huge difference in combat effectiveness between the Tugu Corps with civilian troops and those without the support of civilian troops. However, compared to the more conventional methods of the Bingzhou Army, the strategies mastered by the civilian troops of the Tupu Army
It's obviously weirder, but to some extent it's also more palatable to some people.
For example, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Sima Yi, they are very fond of those methods that point directly to people's hearts and are unpredictable. Although their research is a bit difficult because they need to guess out of thin air, the methods of the puppets are undoubtedly an inspiration to them.
It was huge, as if it had opened the door to a new world for them, making them fall into a state of intoxication.
Even the other counselors had their own favorite projects. Suddenly, Cao Si, who was in charge of the finance of Bingzhou Army, found that official application letters for various research funds flew in front of him like snow flakes, and most of them had high-profile backgrounds - they were high and mighty.
The officials include doctors and professors from major universities, as well as young scholars who have graduated and those who have not yet graduated, but are all being trained in key areas.
Unfortunately, the budget was only so large, and with more wolves and less meat, even Saito, who was roped in to help, had some doubts about whether he would be torn into pieces by those bearded guys in order to get more experimental funds.
As for Du En, a good friend who was supposed to be in the same boat, he seemed to have predicted it in advance and ran to Li Shushi to work as a digger for Su Xiao Loli. It seemed that Su Xiao Loli smelled something unusual from the remaining camp of the puppets.
Su Xiaololi's intuition was really amazing, and she actually found a few boxes under the "mound" that were not big but not small either.
The boxes are very heavy, and each one has a heavy bronze lock hanging on it. However, this kind of thing that can only guard against gentlemen is obviously of no use, especially when they are faced with a group of curious Bingzhou Army superiors.
This is especially true when going up and down, but because they are worried that this is a trap left by the enemy, everyone is very cautious, because they really can't believe the integrity of those puppets.
However, it turns out that this kind of caution is really based on a villain's heart. There is no trace of any mechanism left in the box and the space inside the box. There is nothing else inside, only bamboo slips.
Each box is full of bamboo slips. Although there is not much content left on each scroll, and most of them are obscure. What is more important is that the text carrying the content is still an ancient one. It has been
Li Shushi certainly knew that there was a font that few people understood, and that it should be called Xiaozhuan. If not, even today, nearly four hundred years after the founding of the Han Empire, there would still be people who could recognize this beautiful but complicated font.
, it’s really not easy to interpret.
Okay. Li Shushi admitted that his last sentence was purely pretentious. Because ancient texts became easy and simple in the hands of Su Xiaololi. The history of many texts is probably not as long as the history of the loli next to Li Shushi.
However, Li Shushi, who had just thought this way, was suppressed by the angry Lolita with the fist of justice. He was really a model of immortality, and naturally he received the common contempt from Miss Luohe and Huanglong Girl.
It was not until the contents of those bamboo slips were translated into words that people of the Han Dynasty could understand, that everyone realized that the emperor had indeed made a joke with them, because the boxes of bamboo slips were all filled with puppets and civil servants.
Relevant records.
Of course, for Li Shushi and a group of generals, even those bamboo slips have become something they know every word. But after connecting them together, most of them still feel that they are in a cloud, and Xiaoqiang is the most important among them.
The most obvious.
But there are scumbag students who can't understand. Naturally, there are academic masters who are fully developed in moral, intellectual, physical, artistic and physical skills. For example, Zilongjiang looks very touched when looking at those words, sometimes frowning, sometimes showing a look of astonishment.
expression.
"Zilong, how much can you understand what's in this? If you have any insights, please share them with everyone. Don't keep anything private."
"Ah, no, no, I just recalled some of the experiences I had in the fantasy world. In fact, I don't really understand it."
Zilong Jiang's face turned red as he spoke, as if some extremely embarrassing past events were being recalled.
By the way, has Zilong-chan encountered any embarrassing experiences in the fantasy world? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be the case. It can't be that someone in the fantasy world mistook Zilong-chan for a girl and trained him to be a dancer.
Seeing that Zilong Jiang looked so ashamed and angry, even though he was very curious, it was better to let this sinful man go first.
Although the contents in the bamboo slips still need enough time to be studied and tested, as judged by top students like Cheng Yu and Jia Xu, the contents are very operational. Although the differences between ancient and modern times made Li Shushi stop spreading it immediately.
However, he also agreed to the proposal to set up a special research group for these bamboo slips.
It is conceivable that the old masters at Bingzhou Official School will be very happy in the future.
Everyone looked like they had gained a lot, but Miss Luohe didn't seem to have a good look on her face. She looked like her favorite toy had been taken away. Obviously, in that treasure hunting battle, this eldest lady had no choice.
Once he was defeated by his own lolita.
I just don't know if it is the man's seventh sense that is guiding him. Li Shushi always feels that the fight between the two people over this matter seems to have some deeper reasons, but for the sake of his life, this doubt is still buried deep in his heart.
More appropriate.
So, after proving that everything was a false alarm, Li Shushi finally entered the post-war Chang'an City.
Although the army that has been fighting for several months has not yet been disbanded, the soldiers did not show any commotion, because they will receive preliminary rewards during this period, and they will also bring the remains of their colleagues. As for the specifics,
Rewards, as well as pensions for those soldiers who unfortunately died in fierce battles or were disabled, will be collected and distributed by the state-level units where they are located in the coming time.
In other words, it won't be long before they can return to their hometown before the first snow falls.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, almost all the main troops of the Bingzhou Army gathered together. Cheng Yu, Lu Bu and others organized a large-scale heavy rugby competition. Due to the rush of time and the intensive arrangement of the competition, it somewhat affected the excitement of the competition.
However, the enthusiasm of the soldiers to participate is still high. This national movement under the jurisdiction of the Bongzhou Army has healed the inner pain of many people.
As for Li Shushi, he took the opportunity to withdraw from the busy military affairs after the war to take on some private work.
To put it bluntly, just go on a date with a girl.
Although the other party probably won't admit it.
"What kind of place is this? It's dark, dark and damp. It feels like a seeping hole."
"What you said is not wrong. This is indeed a cave, but it is not naturally formed, but dug out by you humans."
The movements of the Yellow Dragon Girl were light and swift. The complicated road seemed to have no effect on her. If it weren't for Li Shushi, a follower who was very nimble among ordinary people, but was extremely insignificant compared to an existence like the Yellow Dragon Girl, Li Shushi believed that
The Yellow Dragon Girl has long been able to reach the place she wants to reach, instead of just walking around in this dark environment.
Of course, strictly speaking, this tunnel is not considered dark. After all, Li Shushi is just an ordinary person. There is no way to continue moving without light, so the Huanglong girl is very considerate and takes back the Huanglong Baoyu she gave away from Li Shushi.
.Then I don’t know what method was used to make the jade emit a dim light, barely lighting up the path under Li Shushi’s feet.
"What are we going to do now?" Li Shushi said that his curiosity is definitely no less than that of cats.
"Just like that man said, this time things will not end just because they are out of the control of that 'will'. The resentment accumulated in this cave is not just those groups of soil puppets. They are all willful people.
Guys, in the end you still need me to help you solve your troubles. Really, remember, you owe me another favor."
The Huanglong girl's words did not make Li Shushi feel any strange way. Instead, her sudden approach to her face made Li Shushi, who was subconsciously following, startle and almost throw away the jade in his hand.
"Wow, it really scared me to death."
"Hehe, you know, if you just take one more step forward, you will kiss this girl~ In total, you will suffer a big loss."
"No, no, no, I suffered a big loss when I kissed you. Just a kiss, and I might be hunted down by the angry female (Xuan) God (Wu), and I might have to give up those lovely wives and concubines in my family.
, no matter how you calculate it, it’s all a loss to grandma’s house.”
"It makes me unhappy to be compared like that."
"I would rather choose something that is within reach than something that is out of reach. And think about it, those things that have already been obtained are not any worse than those that have not yet been obtained, so why should we be so greedy?
.”
"I'm really going to be angry."
"Instead of taking huge risks to pursue something that is out of reach, it is better to cherish what is in front of you. I don't want to wait until I lose it to find out that I once had such beautiful things but didn't know how to cherish them."
Therefore, the Huanglong girl said nothing during the rest of the journey, and did not even look at Li Shushi. Even Li Shushi didn't know when he found out that he had been poisoned, but he did not have any reaction, but he was getting better and better at self-healing.
Li Shushi, who was becoming more and more sophisticated, didn't really care, but he became more and more interested in what was hidden underground.
Suddenly, the yellow dragon girl stopped.
here……
Li Shushi can be considered a veteran in energy sensing. He can clearly feel that the negative energy in this area is obviously abnormal. He seems to vaguely hear the roar of some monsters in his ears, and the darkness is beyond his sight.
Among them, someone seems to be dancing a strange dance - standing in a row with their hands raised, swaying to the rhythm, stretching their arms and spinning in a circle, acting like... a zombie? Or a feeling of loss.
Well, it’s not like I haven’t seen anything more horrifying. Li Shushi said that she didn’t feel anything at all.
It's just that similar things have appeared underground in Luoyang, the eastern capital. I didn't expect that similar things existed underground near Chang'an, the western capital. Could it be that the two capitals are the political centers, and all kinds of darkness emerge one after another, and have accumulated for hundreds of thousands of years?
It became like this.
"It's time to end this nonsense, kids, and go to sleep."
The Yellow Dragon Girl moved again, but what was different from her previous calmness was that this time she was singing a song that could be called "weird" for this era, a song that no one should have heard of.
Heard of it...
"Sleep, sleep, don't hesitate.
Sleep here, sleep here, don't chase the sadness.
No tears, no fear, just willing to go back to where you are.
When the sound comes, sleep is coming, sleep is coming, you can sleep.
I bow to transcend all grievances and wish to complain, but I am afraid of poverty and suffering.
Even if the right and wrong are different from each other, how can we meet the inevitable?
The flowing scene passes through the years, and the fish sinks and reincarnates in various forms,
Invasion and defeat bring sorrow to the sky.
When the mourning and music have stopped, it’s time to leave.
Go to sleep, never wake up again.
Yingmian, Yingmian...
Sleep, sleep, in the arms of eternal gloom.
Mian Xi, Mian Xi, and the armor light has not been opened.
No crying, no fear, the king should not be punished.
When the sound dies, sleep comes, sleep comes, you can sleep.
Everything born of it will be destroyed, and no one should cling to eternal sorrow.
I hope you will listen to my endless voice, and I hope you will end this fate.
If you burn your soul to the ashes and sing, you will suffer the consequences.
But the change of time caused him to be buried,
The soul returns to him, but the body remains empty.
Mian Xi, Mian Xi..."
It wasn't until he left the gloomy underground cave that Li Shushi finally had the opportunity to ask the Huanglong girl:
"What was that you just sang?"
For a long time, no words were spoken.
It was not until Li Shushi thought that the other party was not going to answer him that he heard a faint voice coming from his ear.
"That's a song that suddenly came into my mind for some reason...'Funeral Song'."
Pan Sen: "Funeral Song" comes from the "Five Parts of No Medicine" written by leader ilem of station B, which is quite a healing work. Our version is based on the barrage of a certain B friend, some of which are not satisfactory.
We have slightly modified the part. By the way, Huang Long did not sing this song casually, there is something else in it~ (To be continued...)
