Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao accompanied Tianzun to visit Beihai City.

The scale of Futu City is not too big, but although the sparrows are small and well-equipped, there are also a lot of shops and businesses. Although it is not as rich and lively as Kaifeng, it is still good.

Bai Yutang supported Tianzun, on the one hand, out of respect and filial piety to his "Mother", on the other hand, that is the main aspect, to hold Tianzun and prevent him from running around.

Tianzun enjoyed it quite a bit at first, and his family Yutang was so obedient, but he felt uncomfortable walking around.

Tianzun was attracted by an art booth next to him, and just about to go over to have a look, Bai Yutang tugged him, and whispered in his ear, "Be honest, don't run around!"

Tianzun had no choice but to endure.

After walking a few more steps, Bai Yutang suddenly told him, "Walk more gracefully! Don't be careless."

Tianzun then endured.

After walking a few more steps, Bai Yutang said again, "Don't take such big steps!"

Tianzun was lucky, and his nose was crooked.

After walking a few more steps, Bai Yutang suddenly grabbed Tianzun's arm.

Tianzun glared at Bai Yutang, what does that mean - you're going to beat you up for your teacher!

Bai Yutang opened his mouth...

Tianzun stepped on it with his head held high..."Baji".

Everyone turned around...

Tianzun felt that something soft was stepped on under his feet, and he looked down...

"Ah!" Tianzun jumped three feet high, but thanks to the clever shadow behind him, scholar Lu Xue'er's voice echoed.

Tianzun kicked his foot - stepped on a piece of shit!It stinks!

Bai Yutang was afraid that Su Yi and Fu Gao would find his flaws if Tianzun continued to toss about, so he said, "Hurry up and find a place to change and wash."

Zhan Zhao pointed to the inn not far away, "Over there..." Before he could finish speaking, he saw Tianzun "whoosh" and disappeared.

Su Yi couldn't help sighing, "Oh, Mrs. Bai is really as legendary, with superb martial arts skills!"

Fu Gao asked Heiying, "Slave, go and prepare a pair of shoes for Madam, what size shoes does Madam wear?"

"Auyou, I'll just do this kind of thing!" Heiying said, and left with a handkerchief in his hand.

Both Fu Gao and Su Yi thought—this aunt, she must have been a matchmaker before, right?

Zhan Zhao is embarrassed—the next time I want to ask Hei Ying for advice, there is still a difference between an ordinary old lady and a matchmaker.

Bai Yutang also couldn't laugh or cry, and went to chase Tianzun together with Zhan Zhao.

When Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao chased to the guest room, Tianzun had already lost his shoes and sat in the guest room, and Su Yi and Xiao Fugao were in charge of guarding downstairs.

Bai Yutang's "mother" wanted to change clothes, and it was inconvenient for Zhan Zhao to go with her...so...he said that he went outside for a walk.

In fact, after leaving the inn, Zhan Zhao still took a detour through the back alley, and jumped into the room through the back window.

Entering the door, I saw that Tianzun was sulking with bare feet.

Bai Yutang poured tea for him.

Tianzun squinted at his apprentice.

Bai Yutang was helpless, "I want to remind you, but if you stare at me and refuse to tell me, I can't hold you back!"

Tianzun snorted and drank tea.

"Master." Bai Yutang coaxed him from the side, "It is said that stepping on dog shit brings good luck."

"You think I'm the fourth son?" Tianzun said to him.

……

"Ah."

In Zhao Pu's barracks, the fourth son raised his face and sneezed.

Gongsun was hugging him to read the boxing score, put down the boxing score and squeezed his face, "Have you caught a cold?"

"No." The fourth son rubbed his nose and asked Gongsun, "Daddy, did you go to Jiujiu to learn boxing last night?"

"I didn't finish my studies last night." Gongsun felt a little regretful, "Didn't you go to bed early last night?"

"Yeah!" The fourth son nodded, he went to bed early last night in order to let Gongsun go to Zhao Pu's place earlier.

"But when I went to Zhao Pu's place last night, he had an inexplicable smile on his face, and was about to teach me how to practice boxing. Suddenly, there was an urgent military report. He went out as soon as he heard it. You saw that he hasn't come back yet." Gongsun was dissatisfied .

The fourth son rubbed his head, it was true, he got up early this morning, and Gongsun was by his side, logically speaking, if all goes well, he should sleep with Jiujiu.

"But I don't know what happened. He drove out at night." Gongsun was obviously worried about the military situation. He said while shaking the boxing score in his hand. Watch first."

The fourth son looked at the boxing manual and stroked his chubby chin—isn't Jiujiu really planning to teach his father martial arts seriously?

While talking, Zhao Pu picked up the military tent outside, and Zhao Pu ran back.

Seeing him wearing a cloak, he looked travel-stained, apparently he had just returned from a long trip, and when he entered the door, he said, "Study."

Seeing that Ouyang and Zou Liang were not following behind him, Gongsun was a little curious, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Pu came to him and sat down, hugged the fourth son and rubbed it, and said in a low voice, "I found a mass grave, or a strange ice mound."

Gongsun was stunned, and frowned, "Why are the mass graves and ice tombs so terrifying?" As he said that, he wanted to cover the ears of the fourth son so that he would not listen.

Zhao Pu said, "The pit was discovered by Xiao Tonghai's people. They sent someone to inform me last night. I rushed to have a look. Good guy, there are at least tens of thousands of people!"

Gongsun was amazed, "Is this a battle fought nearby or is it left over from ancient times?"

"What are you leaving behind? The corpse hasn't rotted away yet." Zhao Pu found a cup to drink tea, "The pit is in the permafrost near the border of the Beihai Sea. It is the uniform of the Beihai Army."

"What?" Gongsun was puzzled. "There has been no war in Beihai in recent years. Why did so many people die?"

Zhao Pu shrugged.

"I wrote to Xiao Tonghai a while ago, asking him to help me pay attention to the movement of the North Sea, and he sent people to patrol the north. A few days ago, his patrol team walked on the glacier near the North Sea, and suddenly a soldier found that there seemed to be There are dead bodies... that area is covered with snow and frost all the year round, and it is almost impossible to see below the ice layer. Later they sent people to dig...then they found the giant mound, so they sent someone to notify me urgently." Zhao Pu drank his saliva and pulled Pulling Gongsun, "I brought a few corpses back, you go to have an examination to see how those people died, I didn't find any external injuries."

"Oh." Gongsun hurriedly got up and went outside to examine the corpse.

I saw dozens of corpses lying flat outside the military tent.

These corpses were frozen into popsicles, their faces were blue and distorted.

Gongsun frowned slightly, "It looks like he fell into a glacier and drowned." As he spoke, Gongsun began the autopsy.

After everyone waited for about half an hour, Gongsun raised his head and told Zhao Pu, "It is true that they were all drowned, and half of them were frozen to death. It seems that they died suddenly."

Zhao Pu was puzzled, "Why such a strange way of death?"

"Marshal." Ouyang leaned over and said to Zhao Pu, "We have checked, and the dead are basically strong young men, and they are well equipped. In terms of Beihai's military strength, they should be their elite troops."

"He is indeed physically strong." Gongsun was curious, "How could this be?"

"Could it be that during the large-scale march, the ice on the glacier just cracked, and they fell into the river and drowned?" Zou Liang asked.

Zhao Pu rubbed his chin, "You have also seen the frozen land in the north. The big ice surface is harder than the ground, and it has been frozen all year round. How could it suddenly crack? It's dozens of layers thick!"

"Let's talk about it." Gongsun also felt unbelievable, "If there is a crack, there will only be a crack. I can understand that it will fall tens of hundreds, but it is really impossible to fall tens of thousands at once!"

Everyone stared at a large piece of corpses in a daze.

At this time, Yin Hou, who came to watch nearby, suddenly asked, "Could it be that the soldiers were walking on the glacier, and a person with high internal energy suddenly shattered the entire ice surface with internal force, and then the soldiers fell into the river. And after that, the master used his internal strength to freeze the glacier instantly... so the soldiers were drowned and frozen to death?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Gongsun touched his chin, "Don't say it, it really looks like..."

"Isn't this difficult?" Lin Yehuo asked Yin Hou curiously, "Is it possible?"

Yin Hou thought for a while, "I can do it with that old ghost Tianzun, and your master can do it too...others, there are no more than five people who can do this, but those are all high-ranking people, and I don't remember There is one who is so bad as to kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"Then Xuanyuan Jie can?" Zhao Pu asked.

"Uh..." Yin Hou thought for a while, "I'm not sure about this, his internal strength is indeed very high, but... it seems that it is not so high."

"Who could it be?" Zhao Pu frowned, "Why did you kill so many soldiers in Beihai? And there was no investigation in Beihai?"

Yin Hou thought for a while, "May I go to Beihai and ask?"

"Hey...wait a minute." Zhao Pu smiled suddenly and stopped Yin Hou. "This matter can be justified and asked. This is an opportunity."

Everyone looked at Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu smiled, wrote a letter himself, and found an envoy to send it to Beihai.

……

Putting aside the fact that the envoy was ordered to deliver a letter to Beihai, he did not mention it, and said that the Tianzun of the inn at this time and the others.

Heiying bought shoes for Tianzun, Tianzun put them on, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao took turns to coax him, he felt a little better and said he was hungry.

Bai Yutang simply called the waiter to order food, let Su Yi and Fu Gao eat in the lobby downstairs, and they ate in the room.

When the waiter was delivering the food, Zhan Zhao found that the people serving the dishes were all old people.

Zhan Zhao was a little curious, and Hei Ying was also puzzled, so he couldn't help but ask an old man who served the plate, "This shopkeeper, how long is his life?"

"75." The old man replied.

"75?" Soi Ying pointed to the other people and asked, "Well, they don't look too small."

"Hehe." The old man smiled and nodded, "Yes, they are all above seventy."

"Stay out of class at such an age?" Zhan Zhao couldn't bear it.

The old man sighed and shook his head, "There is no way, our children have all been drafted."

Bai Yutang frowned, "Didn't Beihai recruit soldiers choose one of the two children? Then there should be others left!"

"Hey." The old man continued to shake his head, "My three sons went to join the army one after another, and never came back."

"There is no war in Beihai!" Zhan Zhao frowned, "Why do we need so many soldiers?"

"I really don't know about this." The old man was also very confused, "There are no soldiers near our imperial city, and there are not many soldiers and horses in the hands of vassal kings everywhere. The strangest thing is... there must be a time limit or a time limit for joining the army Go home to visit relatives? Beihai has never done that!"

The other old people who delivered the food also asked, "Are you envoys from other countries? This is the first time I've seen foreigners in Beihai Imperial City."

Everyone had no choice but to prevaricate and nodded, and sent the old man away.

Wait until the door is closed to eat.

Tianzun was a little puzzled, "What the hell is going on in Beihai?"

Bai Yutang picked up some chopsticks for Tianzun, telling him to eat quickly and ask about it later.

After eating, Bai Yutang called Su Yi and Fu Gao, and went back to the palace with them.

Along the way, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang paid attention to it, and sure enough, most of Beihai are old people who are out and about, and the situation in the imperial city is worse than that of the lands ruled by other feudal lords.

Zhan Zhao walked behind, chatting with Su Yi, a little curious, "General Su, why... the imperial city is full of old people?"

As he said that, as if out of curiosity, he asked about the old man in the restaurant just now, who was confused about the situation of the three children who had left and never returned after serving as soldiers.

After Su Yi heard this, he also shook his head, "Master Yin is from a remote place, so he may not be very clear about the situation... My soldiers in Beihai are enlisted once, not once!"

"What do you mean?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled.

"The outside world has been rumoring my Beihai conscription order and childbirth order, but I don't know that my Beihai army often disappears quietly!"

"Disappeared?" Zhan Zhao couldn't understand.

"This is simply unbelievable!" Su Yi shook his head, "A group of soldiers and horses can range from a few thousand to tens of thousands. When they go to the northwest area for inspections or drills, most of them never return!"

"Did you send anyone to look for it?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"I've looked for it, but the problem is that the soldiers and horses I went to look for also disappeared!" Su Yi said, "There were also rumors later."

"What rumor?"

"It is said that they were ambushed and attacked by Liao or Xixia, but we have observed Xixia and Liao, and they did not send troops! Although my Beihai soldiers are not as elite as Zhao Pu's, they are all brave and good at fighting. Where is the reason for tens of thousands of people disappearing out of thin air? Liao and Xixia... No matter which country wants to eliminate tens of thousands of horses, it must at least bring out tens of thousands of horses, right? That can't guarantee victory and leave no one behind Live, but this kind of strange thing happens all the time!"

"Hasn't the emperor sent someone to investigate?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Hearing this, Su Yi sighed, "After checking for several times, there was no result, so I let it go."

Zhan Zhao frowned——Xuanyuan Jie, the emperor, and this father are really incomprehensible, he doesn't care if the soldiers and horses are gone, or his son is dead...

But one thing is even more strange—according to Zhan Zhao's observation along the way, Beihai's combat power is limited, so how did they control the royal families of Xixia and Liao?Those two liars?No reason, what is the purpose?

At this time, everyone had just returned to the imperial city.

Just walking across the first pontoon bridge and preparing to go upstairs, all of a sudden... there was a familiar sound of bells ringing from the mountain.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang raised their faces and looked up the mountain, only to see a mess.Both of them thought the voice was familiar!It was like the bell that rang when the sixth prince was killed last night.

Seeing a commotion ahead.

Fu Gao ran forward to inquire, and when he came back, he also looked surprised, and reported to Bai Yutang, "Your Highness, I heard that the Eighth Prince was killed!"

"Another one died?" Bai Yutang was surprised.

"One prince died last night and another prince died today!" Su Yi was puzzled, "How could this happen?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other—is it true that, as the youngest son said, they are bad, and they die wherever they go?This is too unlucky!
