Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

This time it was Longying's turn to be surprised, this question is too big, how should Guo Yuanzhen answer it? . Unexpectedly, Guo Yuanzhen didn't even think about it, and as if he had become another person, he replied proudly: "The first is to consolidate the frontier. Take the border of Liangzhou where the minister was stationed before as an example. The north and south are only more than four hundred miles away. There are Turks in the north and Turks in the south. If Tubo invades, every time they are killed under the city walls, the people will suffer unspeakably. But if we can build fortified cities on both sides and garrison them with heavy troops, we can not only occupy strategically important areas on the frontier, but also expand the state border, making it difficult for foreign enemies to penetrate. Advance. On the other hand, it can enable the garrison to set up farmland when they are free, so that production can flourish. When the people are rich and the army food reserves are sufficient, it is possible to use force against the enemy. The enemy cannot attack us, so I can attack the enemy. The Holy One clearly observes."

Wu Zhao pondered for a moment, and suddenly the dragon's eyes grew bright. He first looked at the dragon eagle, then moved his gaze to Guo Yuanzhen, and said decisively: If we win this battle, I will make Guo Qing the governor of Youzhou, and I will never break my promise. " Guo Yuanzhen fell to his knees and shouted long live. Long Ying didn't know what the governor of Youzhou was, but seeing Wu Zhao's serious promise, Guo Yuanzhen was overjoyed, so he knew it must be something big, and it was Guo Yuanzhen's dream. Wu Zhao said again: "I still have a lot of things to deal with today. Guo Qing went to see Mr. Zhang Jianzhi and boldly stated your request. Mr. Long and Guo Qing are both gentlemen, so they can definitely cooperate. But Guo Qing must Keep it in mind, whenever you are in a desperate situation, no matter how absurd Mr. Long's proposal looks on the surface, Guo Qing must absolutely trust Mr. Long without any hesitation. Retire!"

Long Ying and Guo Yuanzhen bowed out. After leaving Wucheng Hall, they made an appointment to meet again. Guo Yuanzhen went to see Zhang Jianzhi, and Long Ying rode to the Dagong Supervisor's Mansion. The fat father-in-law was sitting in the gazebo in the middle garden, holding a pipe in his hand, puffing out clouds of smoke, while two pretty palace maids stood behind him, left and right, and massaged his shoulders and back. Long Ying sat down opposite him and said, "What is the governor of Youzhou?" The Fat Eunuch said: "Youzhou is in the north of the capital of God, with the Great Wall in the north. It faces the Bohai Sea in the east, and the governor of Youzhou must also be the governor of Hebei Province. If you still don't know the importance of Youzhou, Eunuch can tell you , if foreign tribes want to invade, they must capture Youzhou. Then they can kill to the city of Shendu within a month."

The two maidservants retreated and said, "What happened?" Longying then presented the things of the past few days one by one, the fat father-in-law listened and put down the pipe.Said: "Come with the father-in-law!" Longying called out: "My mother!" In the vast space, the weapon racks are arranged in arrays, filled with all kinds of weapons, such as knives, guns, swords, halberds, sticks, sticks, lances, hook mirrors, axes, hawks, shovels, palladium, whips, maces, hammers In addition to 18 kinds of weapons such as spears, forks, daggers, and spears, there are also strange weapons such as flying hooks and flying hooks.Bow, armor, shield equations are all available.There are thousands of them, and it is dizzying to see.

The fat father-in-law first asked the little eunuch to close the big iron gate, and said leisurely with his belly outstretched and his hands behind his back: what you see before you are the tools of war, a concrete reflection of the long history of war, and also represents the development of weapon technology. It is the product of thousands of tempers and the crystallization of wisdom.To see them, we need to hold a respectful heart. " Long Ying exclaimed: "I never thought that there are so many magical weapons hidden in the treasury." Fat Gonggong said: "Emperor Taizong loves to collect weapons. In addition to foreign tributes and donations from the people, the number is far more than this, and some of them have been sent out in the form of rewards. Magical weapons. These are still not enough. Like Flying Gods and Sleeves, there are other hiding places." He walked away.

Longying followed behind him, looking left and right, dizzying. The fat father-in-law smiled and said, "Is there any baby that can make your heart beat?" Long Ying shook his head and said, "I still don't feel it." Mr. Fat said: "Under the heavens. I am afraid that you are the most qualified person to judge all the weapons in the library. The demon species is indeed powerful. Under the siege of Fa Ming and his four disciples, he not only escaped for you, but also returned the weapons to you. Injured a few people, and on the second night, he and the girl Duanmuling made a big noise at the Jingnian Temple. Seeing the smoke rising into the sky, the father-in-law knew that it must be a good thing you did. Strike while the iron is hot, and the girl will leave the customs tomorrow, and I must make persistent efforts. To launch an all-out attack on her, we must smash her resistance to the demon seeds, and if she is submissive, it will represent a complete victory for the Holy Gate."

Longying smiled bitterly and said: "I'm not as optimistic as my father-in-law. Immortal hearts are unpredictable, and immortal methods are even more difficult to prevent. I have Zhang Liang's plan, and she has a wall ladder. Otherwise, it would be a good thing with the fairy that night. She suddenly retreated for three days. God, it is the fairy family's method to deal with me. His grandma's!" The fat father-in-law led him to a large iron gate that was locked inside the warehouse. On the horizontal wooden plaque were engraved the three characters of "Shenbing Library" and the next inscription was "Inscription Li Shimin Jing".

Fat Eunuch said: "The fairy has deep roots in love for you, otherwise, why would you let your untouchable fairy body let you hug and make love? Why can't you think optimistically, she is trying to use the fairy embryo to promote the fulfillment of your demon seed. When the time is ripe, I am willing to hand over the immortal fetus into your demonic hands for you to taste? Ha! Just thinking about it makes the father-in-law very happy, the Holy Gate still has a bright future." Long Ying sighed: "It's a pity that success is also a holy door, and defeat is also a holy door. Let alone whether I can beat Wu Zhao, after Faming recovers, the first person to look for must be me."

The fat father-in-law said: "Who is our evil emperor afraid of coming? Dao heart demons are the best in the holy sect, and Wu Zhao and Fa Ming are the best materials for exorcising demons." He said again: "Pure force is of course not Wu Zhao's opponent, but you are full of magical weapons and good luck, which makes Wu Zhao have to rely on you. Now you kneel down and beg her to show you the girl's magic, she will also resolutely Refuse. Alas! Who understands her better than the father-in-law? The first priority is to protect her country, and put everything else aside for the time being."

After finishing speaking, he took out the key, unlocked and pushed the door, and entered the Shenbingku.The space of Shenbing library is only a quarter of the size of the main library, but it is already very impressive, displaying more than a thousand pieces of bows and shields of various types.Long Ying's mind was shocked, and he took several steps, came to a weapon rack, and said: "My mother! What is this, so weird?" The fat father-in-law came to him in his spare time, and said: "You feel weird because you don't know that these two weapons are eight and a half feet long and six feet long respectively. The unique weapon is also a rare combined weapon, the longest can reach one foot two feet, and can be adjusted to the shortest nine feet, and weighs seventy catties. It is made of pure steel mixed with special ore, tempered by intense fire It was made. However, it is extremely difficult to use. Emperor Taizong once ordered that unless the characteristics of this weapon can be used, otherwise it is not allowed to be taken out of the treasury, so it is still confined here until today."

He tried again: "Do you have a special feeling for it?" Long Ying raised his hands, and there were two "clang clang" sounds, two weapons of different lengths and thicknesses jumped out of the rack and fell into his grasp.One end is a mixture of a Ge and a spear, with a sharp cone and a horizontal knife, which has the functions of hooking, pecking, bumping and stabbing; the other end is like a combination of a Guan knife and a knife, but it is a curly wide straight blade with a sharp edge. Like the tip of a sword, no matter how it is chopped, hacked, sliced, or stabbed, it is as agile as a god, and can have ever-changing miraculous effects.Now holding two hands, it is a strange weapon that can be used independently.In such a weapon, all the effects of eighteen kinds of weapons are hidden, which Long Ying never thought about. Longying let out a wild laugh, and his momentum increased sharply, saying: "This is the magic weapon of the evil emperor to fight across the battlefield, kill the enemy and win, and destroy the Khitan and Turks." The fat man knew that he had entered the state of the demon pole, drifted backwards, disappeared behind a row of weapon racks, and returned to a place in front of Long Ying without turning his heels, holding an extra-large thick back knife in his right hand, and a sword in the other hand. Weird round step shield, posing in a stance, with twinkling eyes. Long Ying turned around, shouldered the long strange weapon, and hung the short strange weapon to the side. Naturally, there was a sense of a perfect fit between the human body and the weapon, and the eyes were brightly lit. Chilling. Longying looked at the fat father-in-law's knife and shield calmly, and said in surprise: "What kind of knife is this? It actually weighs a hundred catties, heavier than Lao Tzu's strange weapon, and it is shiny black. There is such a strange thing in the world. Knife." Fat Eunuch smiled wryly and said: "You are good at it, brother Evil Emperor. Not only can you guess its weight at a glance, but you can also see its black light, so Eunuch can't see anything. The raw material of this knife comes from the sky. The king of Nanzhao dedicated it to Li Shimin as a great auspicious omen. Li Shimin ordered the blacksmith in the palace to refine it into a weapon. It was indeed sharp enough, but no one could stand a hundred catties of knife, so he had to Keep it in the library for viewing. Because it fell from the sky, it was named 'Heavenly Sword', and it also meant to pay tribute to Song Que's real Heavenly Sword." Longying proudly said: "The Heavenly Knife finally met its true owner today, and my father-in-law will not give it to me. Haha! The round shield you hold is like a shield and armor, weighing one hundred and twenty catties, both soft and hard. His grandma Yes, if you bring all these heavy things to the battlefield, the horse will have to carry an extra three hundred catties, how can you bear it?" The fat father-in-law finally succeeded in resisting his majestic aura as if he ruled the world, became calm and calm, and said slowly: "Master Wei told the father-in-law back then that the young marshal Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling once turned into Taihang twin heroes to accompany Li Yuan to play polo with the Persians , their horse skills are extraordinary and sacred, which can make the horse completely reborn, and can do what it can't. Not to defeat the most outstanding evil emperor of my Holy Sect." Long Ying suddenly said: "It's not yet the emperor's turn to be the most outstanding one. My father-in-law knows that a few words from you are enough to turn my hooves into a heavenly horse. Ha! It's great." Fat Gonggong said: "My shield is from the master of arrows in Taizong's time. It was originally given to Kou Zhong, the young commander who took revenge for him, but after the alliance with the white horse, Kou Zhong retired to Lingnan, so he had to dedicate it to Taizong instead. This shield is twisted and woven with steel wires, when it is used as a shield, it needs to be infused with true energy to make it hard, and when it is not used as a shield, it can be worn on the body as a chest and back armor." Then he shouted, "Come on!" Longying smiled and said: "That's exactly what I mean." As the body moved forward, the left and right soldiers, long and short, attacked the fat father-in-law like two bolts of lightning. The fat father-in-law yelled, the left shield blocked his long weapon and stabbed him in the chest, and the sky knife slashed. The sound of metal and iron clashing shook Shenbingo, and sparks flew. Fat Eunuch was forced back three steps in a row by the magic power, but he also suppressed Long Ying's offensive arrogance, making it impossible for him to take advantage of the momentum to pursue. Longying said happily: "I never thought that Gonggong's shield technique and saber technique are so good. Be careful!" Before the words were finished, the two hands launched different techniques and attacks, attacking the fat father-in-law like two people like the Yangtze River.When the soft and hard shield is on the long weapon, there will be a "clang" sound, and on the other side there will be a "clang" sound, and the sound of "clank" will continue for a while, and the sparks will be like fireworks. The scene is hot and dazzling.After a hundred moves, the fat father-in-law couldn't help but retreat. Longying was in the main attack position, and he left as soon as he said, and retreated. The fat father-in-law was still locked tightly by his devilish energy, but in the end his devilish power was profound, so he recovered after adjusting his breath a bit.With a wry smile, he said: "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. It turns out that it is not a lie." " "Zheng!" The long device was inserted into the short device at lightning speed, and the accuracy was unbelievable. Long Ying flaunted the use of the recesses and protruding teeth of the device body to lengthen and shorten, changing ever-changingly, and finally adjusted to the longest one foot two feet. Hold the center and attack the fat eunuch. The fat father-in-law tried his best to barely block his more than thirty tricks with endless changes, strange moves, and strange styles, but he finally ran out of power and retreated. Of course Long Ying would not pursue it, he laughed and said: "Elder-in-law has not yet told the ins and outs of this double-ended magic weapon." The fat father-in-law panted, "It's not that I don't want to say it, but I have nothing to say. When Li Shimin conquered Luoyang, he obtained this rare weapon from Wang Shichong. Soon after Wang Shichong was attacked and killed, nothing about this weapon can be settled." He casually threw the Heavenly Sword towards him, Long Ying followed it with one hand, and said in a voiceless voice: "My mother! It really fell." Xiang Fat Eunuch grinned and said, "How about blocking my knife?" The fat father-in-law was taken aback, his shield softened, he held it in front of Longying, and sighed: "You'd better ask those two boys, Wan Renyu or Feng Guoting, to test the knife for you. You beat it away abruptly, and your back hurts. Bend over!" Longying put the weapon on the weapon rack next to it.Bowing his head, the fat father-in-law lowered the shield that had been turned into soft armor from his head, and turned it into a pair of chain armor on the front and back, covering it up to his waist, which fit him very well. Long Ying was amazed.The fat father-in-law fastened it for him.Bian said: "It seems that there is not much difference in figure between you and the young commander Kou Zhong, so the fit fits well, as if it was specially made for you." Longying rejoiced and said: "With this protective baby, I'm not afraid of the knife and the ax coming to me!" Fat Eunuch said: "If you are not angry with Baozhou, don't blame me for breaking people's bones." Long Ying said: "Understood! What's the name of this thing?" Fat Eunuch said: "Master Arrow's name is 'Variety Changes', whether it is worthy of the name or not, you have to figure it out." He said again: "Come on! There is one more thing that is absolutely indispensable." Longying followed the fat father-in-law to the side of Shenbingo, and said: "Heavenly Knife, Variety, only that strange thing has no name. What name should I choose? It's better to be a little majestic, and it sounds like it , when the enemy shouts 'Look at the gun', what should the boy call to look at?" The fat father-in-law smiled and said, "You're dying of laughter! This thing is neither a gun nor a spear or a halberd. It's really hard to name it. Wait for the father-in-law to think about it for you!" Put it against the wall, and put a delicate wooden box carved with dragon ornaments on it. It is two feet long and half a foot wide, which is mysterious. Longying was surprised: "Could it be a hidden weapon? Otherwise, how could it be put into the box?" The fat father-in-law sighed: "You really don't know Taishan with your eyes. It's in the box. It's the super weapon used by the young commander Kou Zhong in addition to Jing Zhongyue, which can kill people without a trace. Open it and see for yourself !" Long Ying stretched out his hands and opened the box respectfully.Ju Zhen said: "My God! This is the rare treasure I dream of." The fat father-in-law was surprised: "Many people still don't know what it is after playing with it, but you can see through it at a glance?" With both hands, Long Ying carefully took out the strange thing that looked like a plaything with an exquisite structure, and then grabbed it with one hand, and moved it to his side. The sound of the machine gun.The metal structure stretches and expands, magically becoming a large bow.bling. Long Ying smiled and said: "Great! Great! Today is like entering a treasure mountain and returning home with a full load." The fat father-in-law looked at him from head to toe like looking at a monster, and said: "This is one of the three folded bows refined by Master Arrow. One went outside the Great Wall with Ba Fenghan, and the other disappeared. The one in your hand One belongs to Kou Zhong, and it was given to Li Shimin." Longying Daqi said: "Why is such a convenient and easy-to-use divine bow still moldy in the vault?" Fat Eunuch said: "Try to check it out!" Longying pulled the string casually, and pulled it more than ten times, every time it was like a full moon, he looked at the fat father-in-law puzzledly, and said: "What's so special?" The fat father-in-law was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and after a while he yelled, "Are you still considered human? Others sat on their horses, lowered their waists, exhaled and raised their voices, and they were able to pull it apart once and a half times. This is at least a bow of two thousand stones. , but you are as relaxed and easy as reading the pages of a book." Longying grinned and said, "Maybe I was born to eat war. Hey! I took so many things of historical value from here, will Wu Zhao be unhappy?" The fat eunuch took his time and said, "Don't worry! I'll go and say hello to her later. Take off your ever-changing clothes and go out in this thing, others will think you're crazy. Later, the guild will send these people to the battlefield. A good partner is sent to Gantangyuan." Long Ying tugged on the fat father-in-law's sleeve and said, "I have something to ask my father-in-law." The fat father-in-law said in surprise: "Speak!" Long Ying said earnestly: "When I'm not around, please take care of them, father-in-law." Fat Eunuch said: "You don't need to beg me, Eunuch will do the same. Everything that happened in Shangyang Palace, nothing can be hidden from Eunuch." Long Ying was overjoyed and thanked. Longying rode back to Shangyang Palace along the divine path, just entered the imperial city, and was blocked by Feng Guoting.Jumping off the horse, he said with a smile, "Don't be safe, my lord." Feng Guoting looked at his expression carefully, and said: "You know that Min Xuanqing has gone to the Western Capital. Come! Talk while walking." Longying let go of the reins, let Zitaxue follow behind, and said, "I'll give her a ride. Huh! Where are you going?" Feng Guoting turned his head and glanced at Ti Taxue, and said: "Good boy, it's surprising that he can be so obedient. This horse is wild and unruly. I tried to ride it once, although it is not as good as other horses. Humans were thrown off their horses, but they refused to give in. Now go to Huangchengxuan, Guo Lao is waiting for you." Long Ying couldn't help asking: "Xuanqing is going to Xijing today, for the matter of Dao Zun Xianyou, which is related to Taoist disputes, is there any danger?" Feng Guoting said: "The news of Dao Zun's departure caused a sensation in the capital of God, but because Dao Zun has always supported Zhongzong's restoration, His Majesty only issued an obituary as usual, and did not order the whole country to mourn. Xuan Qing has a very high status in Taoism. , there should be no danger for the time being, but once the Daoist position cannot be contested and the situation gets out of control, it will be difficult to guess. The Holy Master and Wu's disciples have always supported the Celestial Master Xi Yao, which made the situation more complicated." Long Ying understood, needless to say that Xi Yao was on the side of the Wu family's children, so the dispute between Daoist priests turned into a political struggle. Huangchengxuan is located in the southwest corner of the imperial city, close to Shangyang Palace. It is a two-story wooden building with a grand scale.Different from the Bafang Pavilion, the wing room is set up on the second floor. Due to the special wood, it has good sound insulation effect, so the wing room is quiet and quiet, and secret conversations are not afraid of being heard.Di Renjie's wing is located at one end, and there are guards outside the door to guard the distance. When they see two people coming, they should report to Di Renjie before letting them in. What Long Ying didn't expect was that apart from Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi, Guo Yuanzhen and Wan Renyu were all present, it seemed like a secret meeting rather than a lunch gathering. Sitting down at the round table, Wan Renyu poured tea for the two of them. Di Renjie said with a smile, "Have something to eat first. In terms of dishes, Huangchengxuan is better than Bafangguan." Zhang Jianzhi smiled and said: "Because Bafang Restaurant wants to collect famous dishes from all over the world, it is not as good as Huangchengxuan to only focus on authentic dishes. Specialty is better than miscellaneous, except for our Eagle Lord." Long Ying hurriedly said that he didn't dare to do it, and raised his glass to offer tea to everyone. Everyone raised their glasses in return, and the atmosphere was harmonious.The delicious food was served, halfway through the meal, Di Renjie turned to the main topic, and said: "This old man is asking Brother Long on behalf of Yuan Zhen. Yuan Zhen couldn't understand the matter. How can I be so sure, the Khitan people will come soon?" crime?" Guo Yuanzhen said frankly in embarrassment: "It's not that I doubt Master Ying's judgment, but that this matter is of great importance, involving victory or defeat." Longying said happily: "I'm about to tell the old man and Zhang the inside story." Then he explained how to capture the spies the night before, and then smashed the enemy's conspiracy with vines and melons, and captured Zhenbai Naxiong Of course, if he told the story about wearing a mask and Wu Zhao personally shot it without telling the truth. Guo Yuanzhen was first moved and said: "Zhenbai Naxiong is a powerful figure in the Turks. It is very remarkable that Yingye can capture him alive. This man is a famous tough guy. How can he tell the truth? Is there any deceit?" Longying felt a big headache, did he tell Wu Zhao to use the heart-searching and soul-stealing technique on Zhenbai Naxiong?I had no choice but to make nonsense: "I don't know the real situation. The Holy Majesty only hinted that strange people were dispatched, and with the technique of subjugating the gods, he first forced the guy captured in Beishi to truthfully recruit the secret meeting of the enemy party that night, and then ordered Zhenbai Naxiong revealed the identity of the traitor and the conspiracy of the Turks. The matter is confidential, but in order to strengthen the confidence of Brother Zhang, it has to be revealed." The most clever thing about him is to connect the guy captured from Beishi with Zhenbai Naxiong and say that the confession of the guy from Beishi has been proven to be absolutely true, and Zhenbai Naxiong's statement should also be true. Guo Yuanzhen showed a look of relief, and his eyes were shining brightly, showing that he had a great chance of winning the future battle with the Khitan people. Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi exchanged glances, and the latter said: "The Holy Majesty refuses to reveal that this expert who knows the art of controlling the gods probably has something to do with the owner of the Shangyang Palace Women's Temple. This is a secret that the Holy Majesty wants to hide. get to the bottom." Long Ying thought Zhang Jianzhi was talking about the deceased Houhou, so he didn't take it to heart. Di Renjie said happily: "The old man hasn't thanked my brother yet, if I didn't see through the conspiracy for you, Xian'er might be robbed, because the enemy does have enough strength." Looking at him brightly again, he said, "How can Brother Long happen to be in Beishi so coincidentally?"
