Great Tang Southern Emperor

Chapter 142 See Through

"By the way, do you have anything else to do this time besides telling this king?" Li Zhen asked after getting the plague out of her mind—anyway, her way out was blocked, even if No matter how worried you are, it's useless to worry about it. It's better to focus on the things in front of you.

"Yes." Baili Changsheng immediately took out a cow package from his arms, and presented it to Li Zhendao: "In addition to telling His Highness that the back road was cut off, the emperor has already appointed His Highness as Tiance Admiral. This is an edict. There is also a secret letter and a residence report, both from Chang'an."

"Admiral Tiance?" Fang Yiai, who was secretly worried, his eyes lit up when he heard this word, grabbed the package, opened it, and took out a bright yellow imperial decree: "It really is an imperial decree, Your Highness." Well, the emperor really appointed you Tiance Admiral, now you are very powerful, even if the prince meets you in the future, he will have to salute you.

Moreover, the emperor allowed you to set up another Tiance Admiral's Mansion, and also brought you all the sons and brothers of Chang'an City... Haha, Yuchi Baoqing is also here, and Pei Xingjian, hahaha... that's great... , Your Majesty has added a talisman to you. With the escort of these sons and brothers, I don't think who would dare to play tricks on Your Highness in Linyi?Once something happens to you, Your Highness, the people behind the scenes will meet the wrath of the nobles of half the world. "

"Mm." Li Zhen didn't care about Tiance Admiral Li Zhen, it was indeed a talisman for him temporarily, but in the long run, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.But after all, it was the emperor's wish, and Li Zhen couldn't refuse it, not to mention that it would be very beneficial to him in a short period of time - at least the forces behind these princelings should not attack him.

Regarding Li Zhen's mediocre reaction, Fang Yi yelled strangely: "Your Highness, your reaction is too calm, right? This is General Tiance, the position that the emperor held before, ranking among the kings and sixteen guards Above the Great General, second only to the Emperor and the Crown Prince, the third person in the Tang Dynasty..."

"That, to be precise, should be number two." Baili Changsheng interrupted suddenly.

"What do you mean?" After hearing this, both Li Zhen and Fang Yiai turned their eyes to him.

Seen by the eyes of the two people, Baili Changsheng hurriedly said: "Your Highness, General Fang, don't misunderstand, this subordinate is not talking nonsense, because as early as half a month ago, His Highness the Crown Prince was deposed by the emperor because of his disrespectful words in the court. That's it—there should be a record in the residence newspaper."

"What?" Fang Yiai was taken aback, and immediately turned out the mansion newspaper in a hurry. Sure enough, it did record what happened in the Tang Dynasty during this period. Among them, there were three most important things: Prince Li Chengqian was deposed, and Li Zhen was sealed. As the general of Tiance, in the end it was the abnormal military mobilization of the countries around the Tang Dynasty.

"Sure enough, Li Chengqian was abolished." Fang Yiai was stunned at first, and then suddenly overjoyed: "Hahaha... It's good to be abolished, it's really good to be abolished, Li Chengqian actually blatantly contradicted the emperor and slandered His Highness, there is no such thing as a gentleman." Zhide, if you don’t abolish who you will abolish? But Your Highness, without the crown prince, then you, Tiance Admiral, will be under one person, but above tens of thousands of people. bit..."

"Shut up." Li Zhen quickly interrupted him, and glanced at Baili Changsheng without a trace: "You are becoming more and more open-minded now, this time this king will let you go for a while, and next time, I will let you go." I will send you back to Chang'an."

Fang Yiai also realized that she had said something wrong, and said again and again: "Yes, yes, my subordinates will definitely change it and stop talking nonsense."

"It's better to be like this." After reprimanding you for leaving the house, Li Zhen said to Baili Changsheng: "Let Captain Baili laugh at you."

"Your Highness, you are polite." Baili Changsheng said, and reminded after finishing speaking: "Your Highness, there is still a secret letter in the package, and this time it was brought here by this subordinate. For this secret letter, this subordinate suffered more than a dozen In one chase and kill, the two hundred brothers under his command were all killed or injured, and even the subordinates were injured in more than a dozen places, and they almost died at the hands of the opponent."

After finding out the secret letter and verifying that the wax was correct, Li Zhen comforted: "Captain Baili has worked hard, brothers will not die in vain, and one day the king will avenge them. You should rest here first, I have something to do , and see you again in the evening."

"Congratulations, Your Highness."

Walking out of the big tent, Li Zhen signaled with her eyes, Fang Yiai nodded knowingly and left, but soon brought a middle-aged man in a scholar's robe, who was one of the doctors who had treated Baili Changsheng's wounds before.

"I have seen Your Highness."

"Excuse me." Li Zhen waved his hand lightly, and asked solemnly, "Let me ask you, how is Baili Changsheng's injury?"

"The injuries are not serious, most of them are skin injuries." The scribe was obviously often interrogated, so he said without hesitation: "The most serious one is in the heart, but the person who injured him was very clever. But the upper part stuck to the heart and pierced in, without hurting the heart at all.

And we have checked, there are eighteen wounds on his body, including twelve knife wounds, three arrow wounds, one heavy blow, one bruise and one dart wound.Leaving aside the rest of the wounds, let's just say that the twelve knife wounds were actually cut out with a single knife... In other words, what he said about fighting bravely was actually lying, that is to say, these wounds on his body It is simply fake. "

Fang Yiai said: "That is to say, this kid is just pretending? Is he playing tricks? Could it be a spy sent by the enemy?"

"That's not true, the wound may be a disguise, but this person is indeed not an enemy." Li Zhen raised the secret letter in his hand: "This secret letter was indeed given to me by my father, and the secret mark on it was also designed by me. Apart from me and my father, there should be no third person who knows."

"Then what does he mean?" Fang Yiai frowned and said, "Since you are the emperor's messenger, then just walk in openly, why pretend to be an outsider?"

"Then I can't guess." Li Zhen smiled and said, "But anyway, since he chose to forge his identity to sneak in, then we'll just do what he wants."

Fang Yiai expressed her understanding: "This subordinate understands. After he recovers from his injuries, this subordinate will arrange for him to join the Youth Army."

"Well, let's do it this way." Li Zhen looked at the sky: "It's getting late, let everyone rest quickly, we have to hurry tomorrow."

"Yes." Fang Yiai responded respectfully and retreated.

And in Li Zhen's tent, Baili Changsheng, who had closed his eyes to meditate after Li Zhen left, suddenly opened his eyes and said to himself, "Have you seen through it? His Royal Highness Yue Wang is worthy of being His Royal Highness Yue Wang. It is really different, but That's fine, isn't it more interesting? Hehehe.'"

After speaking, he smiled softly, closed his eyes and continued to rest...

Chapter 369 Danger in the Jungle

Chapter 143 Danger in the Jungle

There was nothing to say all night. On the second day, the army finished its rest and began to march towards Rili City.

"Oops! There's a snake."

"Be careful, there is a swamp ahead."

"Is this mushroom edible? Is it poisonous?"

"What kind of spider is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"

"What a beautiful flower... Peat, it turns out to be a piranha."

"It's so hanging, I almost hit this beehive."

"..."

It can be said that there were a lot of troubles along the way, and they almost died several times. Fortunately, Li Zhen had the young army train in the jungle in advance, and had someone compile the "Jungle Adventure Instructions", thus avoiding unnecessary casualties.

"Jungle Adventure Notes" is a wilderness survival book compiled by Li Zhen when he was in Chang'an, inviting businessmen from Nanyang, listening to and summarizing their experiences and lessons, and brainstorming.

Specially teaching people how to survive in the jungle has become an official popular science book of Datang Academy, not only in the Youth Army and Wentian Shuyuan, but also in Guozijian and Hongwenguan.

Because this book not only teaches people how to survive in the jungle, but also includes the local customs, local species and myths and legends of different places in Nanyang. It is very interesting to read and is very popular among students. They are used as pastime readings to relieve boredom in their spare time.

What these students and officials don't know is that quite a few of them have worked in Nanyang, and it is precisely because of this book that they have learned a lot of jungle knowledge, so that they can work for them in the days to come. They solved a lot of troubles and helped a lot.

Later, this book was regarded as the supreme classic. Later generations continued to add to this book, adding the geographical conditions of the newly conquered areas, and finally created this book into a supreme geographical holy book. The classic has become a must-read book for every student who studies geography.

This matter is something to be said later, let's not say it for the time being, let's just say that now, this book has still made a lot of contributions.

Originally, Li Zhen had a guide, but after he entered the jungle, he realized that the jungle was more terrifying than he had imagined, and a dozen guides couldn't take care of [-] troops.

It was also at this time that "Jungle Adventure Notes" played a role. Although there was no profound knowledge recorded in it, some common sense questions were basically recorded.

For example, in the jungle, the more colorful things are, the more dangerous they are;

Don't panic after falling into the swamp, keep your body as flat as possible;

When you meet a tiger, don't turn around and run immediately. The correct way is to stay still, make direct contact with the tiger's eyes, keep a close eye on it, don't move away, and stick to it for as long as you can. In this way, you will die with more dignity A little (o(╯□╰)o)...

With these common senses, the Boys' Army finally entered the jungle smoothly, and no one has been damaged so far. This is also a great miracle.

But although no one died, there were a lot of injuries, most of which were poisonous injuries-this is also a helpless thing, after all, there are not many other places in Nanyang, but there are countless poisonous insects and snakes, especially those with Some poisonous insects especially like to join the crowd. The result of this is that people will step on them if they don't pay attention, and then get into trouble...

In addition to poisonous insects, other animals in the jungle are also dangerous, such as leeches.The leeches here are not just lurking in the water like the leeches in the pond. The leeches in the jungle live on the trees. Once someone passes by, they will immediately fall down like rain, which is not only extraordinarily scary people, and once they come into contact with the skin, that...

Fortunately, before entering the jungle, Li Zhen asked the young army to take off their armor and replace it with a lighter cloth armor.The defense of cloth armor is indeed not as good as that of armor, but the advantage is that it is light, and it is close-fitting and breathable, which is very suitable for the humid climate of the jungle-at least after falling into the swamp, it will not directly take you down like armor.There will be no sound during walking, which is more suitable for ambushes in the jungle.

Moreover, since the cloth armor is close to the body, there are cable ties on the cuffs and trouser cuffs, and there is even a hood on the head, such a dress can at least prevent [-]% of the leeches from touching the skin. [-]%—that is also a matter of no choice, it can only be said that it is bad luck.

The leech is okay, even if it is sucked blood, it will fall off naturally as long as it is burned with fire.The problem is that there is a kind of unknown little black bug, which almost jumps on anyone, and there are a huge number of them. As long as it is thrown, it will be stung. It will swell a lot after being stung. Although there is no other poisonous damage, After a lot of exposure, the whole face is swollen (please refer to the pig's head here).
