Princess [rebirth]

As night fell, the bearded and his party carefully left the small courtyard.

All day today, they were packing their luggage. They also took a little effort to find a simple carriage, and arranged the inside so that Concubine Xian could lie in it with Xiao Langjun in her arms.When the sky was getting dark, the group was almost ready, and the bearded man first sent a few followers and left from the east.

After a while, they found that there were indeed people watching the whistle in the dark. After those followers left, several tails followed immediately. The bearded man estimated the number of people, and then sent several men to leave from the west, this time also led away There are many enemies hiding in the dark.In the end, the bearded man left five people behind and ordered them to swear to the death to protect Concubine Xian, and then he took the rest of the staff and pretended to go south.

Just as the three waves of people drew away the attention of the enemy hiding in the dark, the carriage carrying Concubine Xian quietly left through a side door at the back of the yard.As soon as the carriage left the yard, it accelerated and headed north.

On the other side, Fu Jue's subordinates were reporting to him that the bearded party really took action.

Fu Jue had expected that if the bearded man found out that the capital was coming to pursue soldiers, he would leave as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams.He calculated that the bearded man would make some moves tonight, and sure enough, the subordinates who were in charge of keeping an eye on the yard noticed the small yard's frequent movements as soon as night fell.Since Fu Jue had anticipated Big Beard's actions, it was impossible for him to be fooled by Big Beard's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Those tails hidden in the dark were also deliberately made to make Big Beard think that they were really chasing the person who left. They went, but they didn't know that they circled around and returned to the small courtyard.

After the bearded man also left, the people in the dark immediately divided their hands in half to chase after him. Although Fu Jue's task was to find Concubine Xian, it was impossible for him to return to the country of Hu with the bearded man. The tiger returns to the mountain.Since the bearded man dared to take a step into the Central Plains, Fu Jue wanted the other party to confess his life here!

Otherwise, in the great and great country of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how could they, foreign barbarians, just come and wander around?

If they let the bearded man walk around the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty and leave safely, I am afraid that many foreign barbarians will follow suit in the future.In order to curb the ambitions of those foreign barbarians, Fu Jue must kill the chicken to make an example to the monkey, and the bearded man is the chicken.No matter whether he is powerful or brave, Fu Jue must get his head today.

The Forbidden Army who followed Fu Jue out of the capital this time were all excellent players selected from thousands of thousands of people, which is why Fu Jue made such a bold decision. After all, when Dou Chun sent him out of Beijing, he just asked him to bring back Concubine Xian and Concubine Xian. The son of the concubine did not ask him to get rid of the group of people who took care of the concubine Xian.And Fu Jue also came here, and after knowing the identity of the bearded man, he made a temporary decision.

Big Beard and the others are not just as simple as a foreign country from outside the Great Wall sneaking into the Central Plains, but his appearance also represents the royal family of the Hu State. Therefore, Fu Jue can't let the other party go without saying anything. Get involved?What is the relationship between Concubine Xian and Fanbang barbarians?As long as you catch Concubine Xian and the bearded concubine, you can get the answer if you think about it. ...

After Concubine Xian's carriage left the small courtyard, it drove all the way north. As long as the carriage left the town smoothly, it would arrive at Quyang Pass in the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty after an hour. After leaving Quyang Pass, it would be safe up.Going further north from Quyang Pass for another five days and five nights, you will arrive at the border of the Hu State. Once you enter the territory of the Hu State, you will no longer have to worry about the enemies chasing after you.

It's just that they had a good plan, and just as the carriage left the town, they found someone chasing after them.

The person in charge of driving was a fierce general under the command of Big Beard. His martial arts was superb, so he was sent by Big Beard to protect Concubine Xian. When he saw the pursuers behind him, he immediately handed over the reins of the carriage to another companion, and he It was the big knife that was carried behind his back and jumped out of the carriage.

"You guys go first, I'll kill you!" the general held up his sword and shouted majestically.

"Lieutenant General! I'll help you!" Another burly man yelled and jumped out of the carriage. The other three saw that the lieutenant general and the captain had jumped off the carriage, so they guarded their posts and did not dare to leave without authorization. After all, the general said back then that they should protect the woman in the carriage.

The lieutenant general and the school lieutenant stopped in the middle of the road. The speed of the carriage didn't stop, and it quickly disappeared into the night.At this time, the pursuers had also caught up. The lieutenant general and the captain thought that according to the general's strategy, there should not be many people chasing them, so it would be easy to deal with them. But unexpectedly, a well-trained team appeared in front of them. One count, the number of people is about five or six times as many as theirs.

"Oops! I've been tricked!" Although the lieutenant general's brain is not very good, but the situation in front of him is dangerous, and anyone with eyes can see that the enemy has not been diverted from the mountain, but his own side has been tricked.In order to disperse the enemy's pursuit, they divided into four groups, and only five people were left protecting the carriage. How could five people stop the well-trained more than 30 people?

The lieutenant general and the lieutenant roared angrily, even if they couldn't stop them, they had to stop them!

The two of them wielded their broadswords, and rushed towards the forbidden army of the Great Zhou Dynasty with murderous intent. The forbidden army in front of them was the one who wiped out the remnants of the previous dynasty in the capital, and then followed Fu Jue to Longteng Mountain to wipe out the former army. For more than half a year, the Shence Army of North Korea's private soldiers had countless blood stains on their hands. The fight in Longteng Mountain a few months ago aroused blood and fighting spirit in everyone's hearts.

Seeing Fanbang wielding a broadsword at this moment reminded everyone of the fighting in the previous period, and the blood in their hearts that had not completely subsided rose again, and everyone raised their long swords and roared, and quickly greeted them.However, only ten of these 30 people stayed, and the remaining 20 people crossed the two borders and chased towards the carriage.

The lieutenant general and the lieutenant's big swords were fierce, but they couldn't stop the more than 20 people from leaving. Even if they were brave and good at fighting, it was just a joke that one person beat ten people. It is still possible for a rookie recruit, but it would be a joke if he wanted to face the well-trained imperial army on his own.

Therefore, the lieutenant general and the school lieutenant didn't hold back for long before the swords in their hands were chopped off by the imperial army. Both of them had scars on their bodies, but they still held on and fought bloody battles.The ten imperial guards did not dare to take it lightly. They didn't dare to stop their actions until the two of them collapsed to the ground without any resistance.

One of the imperial guards stepped forward to check and confirmed that the two had lost their breath and pulse, so they hurriedly buried the corpses, and then chased after them in the direction the carriage left with a knife in hand.After everyone caught up with the carriage, the three people who were guarding the carriage had already died of anger. After the leading general confirmed that Concubine Xian and Mr. Xiao Lang were in the carriage, the group drove the carriage back to the small town .

After they returned to the small town, they didn't wait to go back to chase after Big Beard's other forbidden army. They felt a little uneasy. Commander Fu personally led people to hunt down Big Beard, wondering if something would happen?If something goes wrong with Commander Fu, how should they explain it to the saint?Commander Fu is not an ordinary commander of the imperial army. He is also the son-in-law of Princess Huyang. When he left Beijing, he used an excuse to relax. If he could not return to the capital safely, it would definitely cause unnecessary disturbances.

Just when everyone was restless, Fu Jue finally came back with the forbidden army, but Fu Jue and others were in a mess, many of the forbidden soldiers were covered with blood, and they seemed to be injured, even Fu Jue's face was extremely pale , Immediately bluffed the imperial guards staying in the town.

"Commander!" The crowd hurriedly gathered around and helped to help a few companions who seemed to be seriously injured. Fu Jue sighed and said in a gentle voice: "I made a mistake in my judgment. I didn't expect the enemy's martial arts skills to be too high. There are firearms, if it is not retreating quickly, almost all the hands of the people will be folded there."

"What?! Hu Guo also has firearms?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this. This firearm is very lethal. It was researched by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry some time ago. They thought it was a unique secret of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Weapons, but now I heard that Hu State also has firearms, this... Could it be that there are traitors in the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Industry?

"This is a serious matter. We have to report to the saint quickly. Although the bearded man escaped, at least we have found Concubine Xian and Mr. Xiaolang, so we have not disgraceed the holy order." Fu Jue finished. He waved his hand and asked everyone to go down to rest first. Those who can go on the road the next morning will hurry back to Beijing with Concubine Xian, while several of the more seriously injured Imperial Guards will stay here to recuperate, and return to Beijing after their injuries are recovered.

Fu Jue himself was also injured, but luckily the injury was not serious, so he was able to return to Beijing with Concubine Xian the next day.After he treated the wound briefly that night, he called a few of his confidants to a meeting. On the way back to Beijing this time, he wondered if there were other foreign barbarians hiding in the dark, and he also had to prevent the bearded man from coming back, so everyone had to Be extremely careful.

Fu Jue ordered a few people, and asked them to find a way to get a few more carriages the next morning, so as to confuse the enemy's vision, so that they could not figure out which carriage the real Concubine Xian was in.Several people drew up several strategies and drew out several routes. In the end, everyone unanimously decided that Fu Jue should personally escort Concubine Xian's carriage.

"If I show my face, the enemy may guess that my side is the real carriage." Fu Jue said with a frown.

"That's not necessarily true, Commander. The enemy will think that we will avoid letting you personally guard the carriage. After all, isn't this too obvious? They must think that we will play tricks, but we just want to do the opposite, let us You are escorting the real carriage, even if someone tries to intercept it desperately, with the skills of the buddies, are you afraid that you won’t be able to save their lives?" One of the generals of the imperial army said domineeringly, waving his fist.

"Yeah, what Lao Li said is right, let's not talk about whether there will be enemies along the way, even the bearded man can't come out to make trouble in a short time. Although we retreated in a panic just now, the bearded man was also injured. If Big Beard hadn't seen that the situation was not good for them, he took out his firearm and forced us to retreat, otherwise we would have caught him long ago." Another general of the Imperial Guard nodded and said.

"In that case, let's..." Fu Jue pointed to the map spread out on the table, and after reconfirming the route with a few confidant generals, he asked everyone to go back to rest and recharge their batteries for the upcoming itinerary.

Early the next morning, the imperial army managed to get three more carriages, plus the carriage that originally carried Concubine Xian, there were a total of four carriages. At the same time, the imperial army also captured three kittens. A companion with an injured foot that made it difficult to walk carried her into the carriage, and the guards who were holding the kitten pinched the kitten in their arms respectively, only to hear the kitten screaming, which was a bit like hearing it from across the carriage. It's the cry of a baby.

Fu Jue nodded. This was also what they thought of last night. If there was no movement in the carriage along the way, the enemy would definitely not be fooled. If the other carriages could also hear babies crying, it would be more realistic. Come to think of it. It will also confuse the enemy.

After everyone got ready, the four carriages left the town slowly and headed towards the capital.Not long after they left, the place where Fu Jue and the others were staying suddenly caught fire, and the house was completely burned down by the fire, making it difficult for anyone to find clues.And those imperial guards who were seriously injured had quietly moved to another safe hiding place last night in the dead of night. ...

On the carriage, a simple partition separated Concubine Xian and Fu Jue. Fu Jue sat by the door of the carriage, leaning against the wall of the carriage with his eyes closed, and Concubine Xian behind the partition fell into the hands of the imperial guards. He never opened his mouth again, he ate when he was given, drank when he was given to drink, and slept when he was asked to sleep, he was extremely obedient, but Fu Jue knew that Concubine Xian was not an easy lady, she could drag this whole body just by looking at her. She gritted her teeth in pain and refused to complain. Following the bearded man and others, she knew that she had a tough heart and a firm mind. The current quietness was probably just a forced compromise. Whenever she had the opportunity, she would never be content.

It's just that Fu Jue is not worried, the secret order from the left and right sages is to bring back Concubine Xian, and he didn't say that he must live. If Concubine Xian really thinks that life is too tired, he doesn't mind giving her a ride.He put one hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, and gently rubbed the lines on the handle. After several battles, big and small, his heart has become as hard as iron. Don't think that Concubine Xian As a lady, he can make himself soft-hearted and unable to do anything. If necessary, he can definitely kill the other party without blinking.

The murderous aura on Fu Jue spread in the carriage, Concubine Xian who was hiding behind the partition was terrified, she gritted her teeth and dared not make a sound, she hugged the newborn young man and huddled in the corner, her heart was full of despair.Just yesterday, she was still dreaming of returning to her hometown, but in just one night, she was on her way back to the capital, and she didn't even have to think about what would happen to her when she returned to the capital.

Not to mention that I left the White Horse Temple without permission, just having this little gentleman beside me is enough to make me die.She looked sadly at the still ignorant baby, and her eyes filled with tears unconsciously. This baby is the crystallization of her and Mu Lang. At this moment, Mu Lang's life and death are uncertain. If she can't protect the baby well, In the future, what will be the face of Mu Lang when he goes to Huang Quan?

It's just that she can't protect herself, so how can she protect this child?

She originally wanted to hit Fu Jue's head with her idea, because Fu Jue was young, so she would be more soft-hearted towards wives or babies, right?Unexpectedly, before she opened her mouth, Fu Jue put on an appearance of not getting close to strangers, with a murderous intent on her body, and she didn't restrain herself at all because she was a lady.

Concubine Xian knew right away that it was impossible to count on Fu Jue, and she had to be careful not to offend him. She had a premonition in her heart that if Fu Jue was really offended, the knife in his hand would definitely be merciless. ...

******

Not long after Fu Jue and his party were on the road, they sent the news back to the capital first, so Dou Chun soon knew that the person who helped Concubine Xian escape from the capital was actually from Hu State.

Dou Chun handed the secret report to Zhuo Jingfan with a solemn face, Zhuo Jingfan was still baffled after reading it, this Hu country was also a difficult bone in his previous life, until his second brother King Hui, the young military genius praised by everyone, He personally led the troops to go out, and after a hard fight, Hu Guo was completely wiped out.

Unexpectedly, in this life, Hu Guo would emerge so early and have a close relationship with Concubine Xian.

When Dou Chun and Zhuo Jingfan knew that the person who took away Concubine Xian was a native of Hu State, they were really shocked, and the identity of the bearded man shocked them even more. They never thought that Concubine Xian was not only related to Hu Guo relationship, and it is still related to the royal family of Hu State.According to the news sent back by Fu Jue, it is known that the bearded concubine and his party took good care of Concubine Xian. The concubine treats you like this?The reason for this makes people have to think deeply.

Looking at the secret report, Zhuo Jingfan felt a sudden unease in his heart. Since he woke up, history has gradually changed. Although he prevented his ancestor from ascending to the throne and kept Dou Chun's throne, there are many things that did not happen in his previous life. Things have happened one by one in this life.

Leaving aside the fact that there is another Mu Xuan besides Liang Zhongxuan in this life, let’s just say that this Concubine Xian was not found to be from the Hu Kingdom until she died in her previous life!Could it be that the Concubine Xian in this life is different from the Concubine Xian in the previous life?Did his arrival change the fate of many people unintentionally?For example, Concubine Wan, who was supposed to be the mother of the world, ended up being thrown into the cold palace because of his arrival. Also, "Zhuo Jingfan" should have died four years ago.

Not only him, Prince Dou Chunben would not be sober, and would die after him, then the empress, and then the first emperor. As a result, starting from him, everyone's fate is different.Among them, only the first emperor died, but unlike his previous life, he did not die from the palace change, but died from the queen's poison.

In fact, according to the established history, the empress should have died long ago, and she would not have poisoned the first emperor. However, because of his arrival, the original fate of the empress and the first emperor was changed. Perhaps in places he did not know, Many others were also affected and their fates changed.

In this way, the historical facts he relied on are no longer absolute. After all, apart from natural disasters, whether other historical events will happen is also open to question.

Seeing Zhuo Jingfan's ugly face, Dou Chun thought he was worried about Hu Guo's affairs, because Fu Jue also said in the secret report that firearms appeared in Hu Guoren's hands, which he did not expect, after all It wasn't long before the firearms of the Great Zhou Dynasty were successfully developed, and they had already flowed into the hands of Hu Guoren.There is another possibility that he didn't even dare to think about, and that is - the firearms of the Hu people did not come from the Great Zhou Dynasty, but were developed by themselves.

If it is the latter, it means that among the Hu people there are capable people who are good at gunpowder. This is really not good news for the Great Zhou Dynasty.A few dynasties ago, the barbarians outside the Great Wall had four big countries, which were called Dongyi, Xirong, Nanman, and Beidi by the people at that time.After decades of fighting, by the time of the Great Wu Dynasty, these four barbarian countries had been divided into dozens of small countries, one of which annexed the other small tribes successively, and finally established the Hu State.

During the period of the Great Wu Dynasty, Hu Guo invaded the border of the Dawu Dynasty several times, but was blocked by the General War God of the Dawu Dynasty at that time. Because the Dawu Dynasty had this invincible general, Hu's ambition has been suppressed all the time. with.Until the end of the Great Wu Dynasty, the government was dominated by traitors and traitors in the court, the government and the public were in turmoil, and righteous people rose up everywhere. Taking advantage of the civil strife in the Great Wu Dynasty, Hu Guo wanted to take advantage of the water and attack several counties on the border of the Great Wu Dynasty.

Fortunately, Dou's army was nearby at that time, so they beat Hu's army back. Because Dou's army saved the people on the border from the fire and water, they won the love of the people, so the ancestors of the Dou family, with the support of everyone, simply refused to do anything. Two endlessly directly launched an uprising, led the rebel army gathered along the way, fought all the way to Kyoto, and finally beheaded the last emperor of the Great Wu Dynasty in the palace, and then ascended the throne. ...

This period of history, as long as the royal children of the Dou family are not clear, Zhuo Jingfan also learned from the records of official historians that the current Hu State is the barbarians at that time, but Hu State has great ambitions. After entering the pass, he also wants to dominate the Central Plains and become the new overlord of the world.

The Hu State in the past may not have enough strength and had no ambitions and desires; but today's Hu State is different from yesterday, and the firearms in the hands of the bearded man are enough to make Dou Chun jealous.The foreign barbarians outside the Great Wall are already tall, and they are already superior to the Central Plains people in terms of physique and physical strength. If they are allowed to have powerful weapons, how can the Central Plains people compete with them?

The barbarians outside the Great Wall have grown on the grasslands for many years, so riding and shooting is commonplace for them. It is said that even the children of the barbarians have been playing on horseback since they were five or six years old. When it comes to individual combat, the Central Plains people It is really not comparable to the strong and fierce Fanren.

It is also for this reason that Dou Chun ordered the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry to focus on researching gunpowder with powerful lethality to see if it can be flexibly used on the battlefield. Firearms are the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry. It was researched with great pains.Among them, Zhuo Jingfan provided some ideas. After all, he came from a hundred years later, when firearms were already quite developed, so he pretended to inadvertently leak those ideas to Dou Chun bit by bit while chatting with Dou Chun.

Dou Chun knew what was in his mind, but he didn't expose it. He turned around and summoned the Ministers of the Ministry of War and the Minister of Industry, and put forward these ideas as his own, and asked them to go back and improve them.Ministers of the Ministry of War and Ministers of the Ministry of Industry were very excited to receive these precious opinions. After returning home, they led their subordinates to study continuously and finally created the first successful firearm.

Although this firearm is still somewhat different from what Zhuo Jingfan expected, it is already much better than the original one, but Zhuo Jingfan is still pondering in his heart, he must quickly think of a way to tell the idea and idea of ​​the fire gun. Dou Chun is good.

Zhuo Jingfan did it when he thought of it, so on a certain afternoon, when he accompanied Dou Chun to review the memorial in the study of Liangyi Hall, he expressed the concept and idea of ​​the fire gun.He took a piece of rice paper, wrote and drew on it, and while drawing the picture of the firecracker he remembered in his mind, he made up a reason, so that Dou Chun believed that he saw this firecracker accidentally when he was flipping through an ancient book.
