The rise of the prince

Chapter 662 Daoist real person
"My lord!" Yang Hongzhao knelt on the ground and burst into tears. Perhaps his son was the one who touched the veteran's heart the most.

"Get up quickly, this is what General Yang deserves. If he serves the country so loyally and bravely, those who die for the country will not be rewarded and their names cannot be rectified, then it is the court's fault." Li Xingzhou did not help this time.

"Before, it was out of love that the king helped the Lord, but this time Lord Yang got up with favor. This is what Yang Jianye deserves. The merit is the merit, and the fault is the fault. It must be clear, and it cannot be implicated."

"Thank you, my lord!" Yang Hongzhao bowed again, then stood up by himself, wiping the old tears from the corners of his eyes.

Afterwards, Li Xingzhou talked with Yang Hongzhao for a long time, just asking him about family affairs, coldness and warmth, and then repeatedly told him that if he was sick or not feeling well, he should go to the palace to look for him, and don't worry about face or embarrassment.

Because he has been away for several months, and he is very old, it is inevitable that he may suffer from some kind of illness. At this time, his family is so destitute, if he has a sudden illness and no one to take care of him, there may be problems. Yang Hongzhao is a talent, and Li Xingzhou does not want him to have problems.

After a long time, the servants saw King Pingnan away, and Yang Hongzhao stood blankly at the door, looking in the direction of the door.

After a while, the old servant came back.

"gone?"

"Send it off." The old man agreed.

Yang Hongzhao nodded, without saying a word for a long time, just looking in the direction of the gate.

"Master, this King Jin is really polite." The servant saw that he had nothing to say, so he searched for something casually.

"Alas" Yang Hongzhao sighed: "When he returns to court today, he must be surrounded by hundreds of officials, touting and welcoming, and the scenery is boundless. In the end, he came to see such a powerless criminal like me. Who would have thought."

"Master, what about 500 taels of silver?" The old servant's eyes flickered.

Yang Hongzhao didn't speak for a long time, he was hesitating, and hesitation was naturally not about 500 taels, but something bigger.
"Where am I supposed to go?"

The old servant dared not speak, he was a soldier who had followed Yang Hongzhao for decades, and in the end the general decided to do whatever he wanted.

After a long time, the wind blew the fallen leaves in the yard, and the evening sun passed through the wall of the yard, casting mottled light spots. In the desolation, Yang Hongzhao shook his head in pain: "Never mind, but the prince came back too late, and the arrow is on the string, so I have to send... "

"Let's distribute the money to the brothers. I'm not blessed to accept it." Yang Hongzhao made a decision, and the old man nodded. Although his face was a little disappointed, he still obeyed.

Yang Hongzhao sat slowly on the steps in front of the house, touched the sword at his waist, his shadow was stretched very long by the sunset light, an old man was sitting alone on the stone steps
"Is this the thing?" Jin Guo went to the Beijing Imperial Palace Racecourse, Wanyan Wugu Nai held the strange thing in his hand, surrounded by Jin Guo's high-ranking generals, and several of his princes.

The front end of this thing is an iron pipe, the rear is a strange guard, there is also an iron ring, and there is a sharp short sword under the iron pipe.

Everyone looked around, but still didn't see a trick.

"The dagger at the front is really sharp, cutting iron like mud, but if the Jing army is taking advantage of the strength of the weapon, why didn't they make a long spear? What's the use of this iron pipe?" Liu Xu asked first.

All the generals also looked at Prince Wanyanli with suspicion, because he got this thing. He said that it was a weapon of a soldier of the new army. It was sneaked from the dead Jing Guo soldiers in the scuffle at the gate of Nanjing, and luckily escaped to the north to escape Jing Guo's siege.

Wanyanli witnessed that incredible battle that day, so he recognized this thing at a glance.

Wan Yanli stepped forward, took the strange weapon from his father, then held the front handguard with one hand, and the rear handle with the other, and demonstrated it to everyone.

"That's what the Jing people used that day. If the distance is close, they will kill like this." He stepped forward, and the bayonet in his hand stabbed out instantly.

Everyone took a small step back subconsciously, and then frowned: "It seems that it can kill people. After all, the dagger in front cuts iron like mud, and even the strongest armor can pierce it. But the question is, why not make it into a spear? Okay. Use and save effort."

Wan Yanli said: "Don't worry, that's what Jing Jun does when he gets close. Most of the time, Jing Jun doesn't shoot like this." He raised his gun until it was level with his shoulder.

People are even more curious.

"That's it. As long as the soldiers of Jingguo do this, the pipes in front of them will emit fire and smoke, making an ear-exploding sound, and the Liao people who are more than 100 steps away will die." Wan Yanli said,
"What?" Everyone was dumbfounded: "More than 100 steps away?"

Wan Yanli nodded: "That's the majority of the cases, and when it's far away, people will die two or three hundred steps away."

Everyone gasped, and Wan Yan Wugu asked, "You read it right, right?"

Wan Yanli shook his head: "Father, it is absolutely impossible, and I was not the only one who saw it that day, Brother Yun was there, and my soldiers are there, if you don't believe me, you can ask them."

Wanyan Wugu looked at Wanyanyun, and Wanyanyun nodded again and again: "Second brother is telling the truth."

Everyone was even more apprehensive, and Wanyan Wugunai himself felt a chill down his spine: "No wonder he was so confident when we met that day."

"Then why can't it be used now?" Wanyan Zongbi asked anxiously.

Wanyanli shook his head: "I don't know either, I guess maybe they used Jingguo's Taoist fairy art or something to make the iron pipe emit fire and light, and they could kill the Liao army hundreds of steps away.

Those people from Jingguo were only two or three thousand that day. They went from the east of Nanjing City to the west of Nanjing City in one day, and they chased for more than ten miles. No matter they were people or horses, they fell to the ground and died instantly after a long distance, and even fell to pieces, which was terrible.

Those Jingguo people used this thing to kill tens of thousands of Liao people, and even made a forced landing on a large area. Almost no one died. We can see clearly from the mountain ridge all day long. "

Everyone's heart felt cold, and their breathing became slightly heavy, because if it was just the prince's words, it might be false, but now it's not only the prince's words, but also the prince's Wanyan Yun, and many soldiers can see clearly, so there will be no fake.
But if true, this is extremely heavy news.

Everyone slowly looked at Liu Xu, because he is a man of Jing, so he must know something, right? Liu Xu was so focused on everyone, he could only say: "Your Majesty, there are indeed some rumors about Jing Guo's Taoist fairy art, but they used to be folklore. I always thought it was a trick.

But now that I think about it, there are indeed similar descriptions, such as palm thunder, which can shine brightly, make noises, and kill people a hundred steps away, and there are some weird things that Taoist alchemy has practiced, which can emit light and explode. , made into firecrackers, but if it is said to kill people, it is still hundreds of steps away, it is too far away."

"You said that these are very close. Could it be that Li Xingzhou found some real Taoist hermit and got help?" Wan Yanli asked excitedly.

"This..." Liu Xu frowned: "It's not impossible. Confucianism and Legalism emphasize being in the world, and Taoism emphasizes being out of the world. There are indeed many Taoists who hide everywhere and stay out of the secular world."

Wanyan Wugunai said: "It seems that it is necessary to send people to the south to find the real Taoist."
