Zhou Lang Zhou Lang

Zuo Ci was finally sent away, and Li Mu was finally able to say what he had held back for a long time: "It is impossible for Yuan Shu to have the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo!"

Zhou Yu frowned slightly, not paying attention: "You can steal him once, why don't you let him get it back?"

He did not doubt that Li Mu had indeed stolen the jade seal back then.However, after he was injured by an arrow, Li Mu undressed to treat the wound for him. He took off almost every piece of clothing on his body, and it was clear at a glance whether there was a jade seal.

At that time, he knew that Li Muding had hidden the jade seal somewhere in Shouchun City, even in Yuan Shu's residence.After all, if she could avoid Yuan Shu's eyes and ears and go out alone to find another place to hide the jade seal, she would not have to take the risk of finding him.

Yuan Shu has always been in Shouchun, and with his obsession with the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, he will definitely send people to search the entire city.It is very possible that he found out...

"Impossible." Recalling that rainy night with lightning and thunder, Li Mu firmly shook his head, bit his lips again, feeling a little guilty, "I... I have obviously been thrown into the well..."

"In the well?" Even though Zhou Yu was always calm, he couldn't help being surprised.Then when she came to him, what she talked about and what she promised were all empty talk that could not be realized?

"Since Yuan Shu believes that I stole the jade seal for you, as long as you have the jade seal in your hand, the fake one is also real, and who would doubt it?" She is fully sure that she can escape Yuan Shu's pursuit smoothly. If Zhou Yu throws her out of the room, or if she is stolen by Yuan Shu's people, it will be the end of eternal doom.The only way to hide the jade seal first is to be considered unfortunate, and at least she has room for sophistry.

"You..." Zhou Yu gasped.That's the emperor's seal!Li Mu actually wanted to fake it from the very beginning!

He didn't expect that in the depths of Li Mu's consciousness, there was no reverence for the monarchy in this era.

She only remembered that when she graduated from university in her previous life, the school forced all graduates to take the CET-100 exam for English majors. In order to control the pass rate, they even withheld their graduation certificates if they failed, and returned to school to retake the exam in the next year to put pressure on them.If you can't get a diploma, you can't get a job smoothly, but there are only a very few jobs that really require fresh graduates to have a professional eight-level certificate, so many students who were unfortunately deprived of their certificates spent [-] yuan to make fake ones outside. .It is said to be fake, and the personal information, serial number, and electronic registration number on the certificate can be checked, so who can say that this certificate is fake?What is false naturally becomes true.

For the same reason, only she knew about the throwing of the Chuanguo Yuxi into the well.As long as she doesn't say anything, everyone in the world will know that after Sun Jian acquired the Jade Seal of the Nation, Sun Ce sent Yuan Shu to change his soldiers and horses. At that time, when the Chuanguo Yuxi appeared in Sun Ce's hand, who could say that it was fake?

"Yuan Shu probably came up with this idea." Recovering from the shock at the beginning, Zhou Yu let out a long breath, and immediately thought of another possibility, "You are the one who steals the jade seal, as long as you refuse to admit that the jade seal has been stolen... ..."

"Everyone in the world only thought that the jade seal in his hand was real!" Li Mu also realized that her speculation was based on the fact that Yuan Shu would turn against Sun Ce and pursue the jade seal from them. To make a statement, it doesn't seem likely that she will take the initiative to jump out and announce to the world that she has stolen the Chuanguo Yuxi and returned it to Sun Ce, right?

"But for the battle outside Xiapi City, didn't Yuan Shu already send troops?" If it was because of this that he was blamed for this matter, it should... be feasible, right?

Zhou Yu shook his head and smiled slightly: "Don't forget, there is Liu Bei besides Yuan Shu outside Xiapi City. It can be said that Yuan Shu heard that Liu Bei was besieging the city, so he raised troops to help him personally... After all, Bo Fu is still under his command now. General."

That is to say, she originally wanted Sun Ce to forge the jade seal to make it real, but now Yuan Shu preemptively forged the jade seal and proclaimed himself emperor, refusing to admit that she stole the jade seal?

Li Mu reasoned out the logical relationship in his heart, and felt a little dumbfounded.Doesn't that mean that she staged an empty-glove white wolf in Shouchun back then?Is Zhou Yu really being tricked by her?

Now that she is reunited with Taishi Ci brothers and sisters, what will she give Zhou Yu to fulfill her promise?

"Haha..." Seeing her tangled face, Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing, "The jade seal is just a dead thing. Since Bo Fu can use it to exchange for three thousand soldiers and horses, he never thought that he could get it from Yuan Shu again." It wants to come back. At the beginning, I just wanted to use this seal to disturb Xuzhou. Now that this journey has been achieved, it can be said that I have done my best to lure Yuan Shubing out of Xiapi. Whether it is true or false, can Bofu really do it? Are you using it to proclaim yourself emperor?"

He casually poured a cup of tea into his mouth, didn't put down the cup at the end, turned around and walked to the map, quickly marked the time on the map with the other hand, and waved to Li Mu with a smile on his face: "So, Yuan Shu For the time being, there will be no direct conflict with Bofu, but I can give me a few more days to prepare for the battle. Yuan Shu, the dead thing, let him go if he wants to, not to mention orders to various places. It will not take long for the news of his abusing the name to spread. Naturally, he became a treasonous minister who everyone punished, and he had no time to look around and restrain him."

"Preparing for war? Fighting again?" Li Mu stared at the place he pointed, and managed to find the location of Wancheng, while Zhou Yu pointed to the west of Wancheng.

Zhou Yu smiled, and tapped lightly with his fingers: "This is Xunyang, where Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang, is now stationed. It is more than [-] miles away from Wancheng, and I will take away [-] of the [-] trapped cavalry. As the vanguard Qingqi, order another [-] infantry, and within three days, you can reach the city of Xunyang. Attack Liu Xun first, cut off Yuan Shu's south support, and let Bo Fu fight."

Li Mu didn't have much impression of this Lujiang prefect, he only vaguely heard that this man was originally Yuan Shu's confidant when chatting with the soldiers in the army.Sun Ce worked hard for more than a year before he conquered Lujiang for Yuan Shu, and the position of prefect of Lujiang that was originally promised to him was given to this Liu Xun.

"Then Liu Xun... how many soldiers and horses does he have?"

Zhou Yu laughed: "The land of the Jianghuai River is mostly crowded, but when the two armies are facing each other, the time and place are favorable. In terms of morale, army spirit, and strategic formation, how can we only count the number of soldiers and horses?"

"That's far more than five thousand and five?" Li Mu sighed and frowned.Zhou Yu's words are correct, he hit more with less, not once or twice.To put it another way, when Sun Ce first raised his army, he only had [-] soldiers "exchanged" from Yuan Shu, and even with the trilogy brought by Zhou Yu, which time did he not attack more with less?Hasn't everyone turned to Jiangdong so far, invincible?

However, Liu Xun had been stationed in Xunyang as the prefect of Lujiang for a long time, and his food stockpiling and military deployment were not comparable to Wancheng. Zhou Yu wanted to cut off his route before Yuan Shu.

The dazzling sunlight outside the door, Li Mu only cared about the calculations in her heart, and unconsciously stared at the light for a while, and when she looked away again, she felt that there was a white halo in front of her eyes, which made her blink again and again. : "When are you leaving? Can you... wait another ten days?"

The white dizziness in front of her eyes blocked Zhou Yu's face, and she couldn't see Zhou Yu's expression clearly for a moment, but only heard him say "um" with a slightly rising ending, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Five days is fine."

"Why?"

"I want to take a look at Zuo Ci's alchemy furnace first." Li Mu rubbed his eyes vigorously, his vision finally became clearer, and he saw the puzzled look on Zhou Yu's face without any surprise.

She bit her lip, and hesitated for a while: "I have a method, which can open mountains and crack earth in an instant, and it will fall into this immortal's pill furnace..." She paused, and quickly organized her sentences, thinking An analogy came out, "It's like... a thunderbolt hits the ground, and it can explode all obstacles, which is called a magical skill."

Seeing Zhou Yu raise her eyebrows, she pursed her lips: "When I used the city crossbow to shoot Liu Beizhong's barracks, some people said it was a magical skill. How did you know that I couldn't cause thunder?"

Having said that, in fact, when it comes to making gunpowder in the alchemy furnace, Li Mu is still a little guilty.

Physics used to be her major subject, and she could master all kinds of motion trajectories, force decomposition, and even fluid mechanics.But chemistry... She is very good at inorganic chemistry, but when she just learned organic chemistry, she remembers that she was a little distracted for a while in class, and when she looked up again, a blackboard full of chemical bonds appeared in front of her eyes. For aspirin... From that moment on, organic chemistry became her deathbed of science.

As for gunpowder, to be honest, apart from one nitrate, two sulfur and three charcoals, she only knew that its source was from alchemy.

That's why she was interested in Zuo Ci's alchemy furnace. She originally planned to inquire first about the phenomenon that these three items would explode when put together in this era, and then find an opportunity to trick a little boy to secretly try it with her. try.

But I don't want Zhou Yu to be so eager to send troops to find the sun...

If gunpowder is available, the so-called superiority of having no troops will no longer be a problem.

After she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "It's just that brother must not know about this matter."

Last time, it was hard to lose memory again, and it was because of sadness that I was fooled by the city crossbow archery. If Tai Shici knew about the gunpowder this time, she might not have amnesia again in just a few days. !

She had already figured it out, if Tai Shici asked about it afterwards, she would blame Zhou Yu, but if Zhou Yu took the initiative to ask Tai Shici why she did this, wouldn't she be exposed!

Li Muchong blinked at Zhou Yu: "As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your weapon. The battle is dangerous, and the sword has no eyes. Fighting with the army is not my specialty, so I can only work on the advantage of this weapon. But My brother never likes me doing this work of a craftsman, can you...don't tell him?"

It was rare for this little girl to put away her fangs and claws, and winked at him softly. There seemed to be a layer of water in her eyes, which flashed all the way to his heart.

City crossbow shooting arrows, she rushed into the craftsman's shed as soon as she said a word, gesticulating and smug, those magic calculations that he hadn't understood until now seemed to be readily available to her.

And what is being said now..."Leading Thunder"?Whether it's five days or ten days, it's obviously not like Chengnu, it's what she had planned.

If it was said that the city crossbow was her worry about Tai Shici and she spent all her time on armaments, then this "leading thunder"...of course she was worried about him.

Thinking of this, the corners of his lips curled up involuntarily, his gentle and bright smile was brighter than the sunshine outside: "Okay, I won't tell him."

If Tai Shici knew that his Ah Mu was worried and worked hard for him, wouldn't he want to fight him again!

Zhou Yu's handsome and handsome face was full of crooked smiles, without any traces of glamor or grace, like a fox who has tricked a tiger, exposing a row of white teeth triumphantly: "A war opportunity is fleeting, three days away In the middle of the day, I lighted the food and set off. Don't worry, I will take away all the remaining four hundred people who were trapped in the camp, and leave fifty more guards for you, all of which will be handed over to Ziming. With these combat forces , Unless tens of thousands of soldiers and horses encircle me, they will definitely not be able to trap me. And Xunyang's terrain is narrow, and there are criss-cross waterways, so soldiers and horses can't spread out at all."

He paused for a while, and finally said: "Don't worry."

"You..." Seeing what he was thinking, Li Mu's face flushed, and he stood up with a flick of his sleeves, "I'm worried about my elder brother, so it's none of your business!"

Just as she was about to go out, Zhou Yu's clear and smooth laughter came from behind her. She suddenly stopped her steps, turned around and walked back.

"You said it's only four hundred miles away from Xunyang?" Li Mu raised his head and stood facing Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu smiled and nodded.

"I want you to send army reports back every day. Don't tell me about the casualties, just tell me where you are, when the battle took place, whether you were injured or sick, and you don't have to wait for my reply. The journey of four hundred miles, It can be reached in two days by riding a fast horse alone, so I will only know two days later."

She stood against the light, and the slanting sunlight formed a hazy golden shadow behind her slender and straight figure. A few strands of unruly hair curled up playfully from the scarf, trembling slightly in this golden shadow , dial out a little bit of crystal light, as light as a dance.
