The falling stars are a sign of great misfortune;
But now, it is not the time to think about where the "sign" should be, because it is falling.
Perhaps, after it fell, someone from the Qin Tianjian would come to Emperor Yan to tell the emperor about the falling stars in the eastern border of the country. Then, the ministers began to take advantage of this celestial phenomenon.
But that is a story later, because now the sword master feels that he may be the one who is going to be smashed to death.
Fan Li walked out of the kitchen with five or six steamed buns in his hand, nibbling on the steamed buns while raising his head, and then he was stunned.
"My dear mother."
The blind man was reviewing documents in the room. The fourth mother accompanied the master to Fengxin City, and all the customary matters in the customs were dropped. on his head.
However, because he was in the house and the distance of mental detection was limited, he did not sense the change in the sky. When he sensed it later, it was already too late to react.
At this time,
most of the soldiers and civilians inside and outside Snow Customs have already entered their dreams. Even those who have not slept, there are only a few who raise their heads at this moment.
The young Marquis and Mowan in the small courtyard of the Earl's Mansion are looking up,
The Sword Master is also looking up,
There are some other eyes too In amazement at the vision in heaven.
Ninety-nine percent of the people could only watch, but had no time to do anything.
Magic Pill was a little better. He used his own stones to hold back the young marquis, but he did not dare to move without authorization, because when the star fell, its power was like a rainbow, which was not like when attacking a city. When the fireball thrown by the trebuchet is in the sky, you can roughly guess where it hit.
The Sword Master slightly closed his palms,
Long Yuan flew out of the woodshed and instantly cut off the small ax that the Sword Master had used to chop wood, obviously full of anger. , as a famous sword in the world, it was used to kill pigs before, but now it wants to compete with a broken axe.
But these are small details, and the sword master cannot care about them now.
At this moment,
What he was thinking was,
What a loss, what a loss,
I used to think that Zheng Fan arranged for his family to Next door to the Earl's Mansion, half to please himself and half to let himself help take care of the Earl's Mansion.
But now,
The Sword Master suddenly felt,
Did Zheng Fan really do too many bad things? He had a premonition that God might throw stones at him. Damn him,
Is that why you deliberately tied the two families together?
If a falling star is going to hit the Earl's Mansion, then his little family will certainly not be spared.
So,
he has no choice now.
He hated this feeling of being bound.
Even he knew very well that
Zheng Fan could not have predicted that one day the stars would really fall. Come down and smash his house.
The sword,
is by your side,
The Sword Master was silently concentrating,
In fact, he understood that,
If he were in his prime, it would be possible to fend off the flaming thing. The current self probably doesn't have this ability.
And, no matter what, I probably won’t survive.
This is the power of heaven and earth, so terrifying.
Furthermore,
If the existence in the house next door that exudes a gloomy aura from time to time has not slept forever, with his help, the chance of winning may be greater. At the very least, You can deviate slightly from the trajectory of the falling star.
Just don’t hit the Earl’s Mansion.
As for whether there will be civilian casualties, that doesn't matter.
Although there is the word "holy" in the name of Juggernaut, it actually has nothing to do with true compassion and mercy. He can take action when it is time to take action.
Just some emotion,
I took a pig by chance a while ago,
I took away a pig head from Mr. Hirano,
Today
But you may have to vomit it back again and again.
It’s a loss,
It’s a loss.
However,
things in the world are unpredictable.
The falling stars in the sky are so fast that these thoughts of the sword master only flashed by for a moment. At the same time, because of its unpredictable nature, the next step directly gives people a real sense of "resigning themselves to fate".
Fate,
not bad.
Uncle Hirano's life is not bad.
Although he is not at home now, if the Earl's Mansion is flattened by a falling star and the young Marquis dies inside, then...
Snow Customs' life is also good,
Because the angle of the falling star is slightly tilted, when it is very high in the sky, it does look like it is going to hit you on the head, but When it falls rapidly, a small angle can magnify a long distance.
"Boom!"
The falling star finally landed at a position two miles away from the north wall of Xueguan, but it also made a huge noise.
The Sword Master breathed a long sigh of relief,
sat down,
The previous scene,
Even the Sword Master was shocked Breaking into a cold sweat,
Sometimes, one's own life and death can be indifferent, but once the person you care about is involved, this kind of burden will be very heavy.
Reach out your hand and pick up Long Yuan next to you,
Put a piece of firewood on the pier,
Lift Long Yuan,
"Pull" sound,
cut off.
After chopping several more pieces of firewood, the Sword Master finally regained his composure.
At the same time, the loud noise attracted great attention. The north gate of Xuehaiguan opened wide, and groups of cavalry galloped out.
Liang Cheng was the first to arrive at the location of the falling star.As white smoke was rising, Liang Cheng immediately ordered his men to spread out and take charge of the vigilance. At the same time, he sent someone to inform the Hailan Department closest to here, telling them not to panic.
As soon as these orders were given, Liang Cheng saw Fan Li running towards him carrying the blind man on his back.
"Is this a meteorite?" the blind man asked.
Liang Cheng nodded and said, "It's right in front."
"Okay, let's go have a look." The blind man said.
"There may be radiation."
"Tsk..." The blind man hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "You two go up and have a look."
Liang Cheng is a zombie, and Fan Li also has the bloodline of a Barbarian God. These two are not afraid of the effects of radiation. A few strong doses of radiation from time to time may even stimulate bloodline changes and improvements.
The blind man is different. His body is already weak. If something goes wrong under the strong radiation, he will really have to lie in a hospital bed for the rest of his life.
Liang Cheng and Fan Li dismounted and walked to the spot where the meteorite landed. At the moment, the white smoke has not completely dissipated. The crater is actually not big, only half the area of a basketball court, and there are burns all around. traces.
Moreover, the crater is so big, but the real meteorite is actually smaller.
Fan Li jumped down first. He had rough skin and thick flesh and could withstand being burned, but after walking to the side of the meteorite, he did not dare to reach out and touch it now.
Liang Cheng stood aside and observed carefully.
Here, the blind man secretly groped for a distance and said through the spiritual chain:
"I said, do you see what it is?"
p>
"Have you never seen a meteorite?" Liang Cheng asked, "If you want to see it, just use your mental power to see it."
"You really think that my mental power is all-pervasive? ?”
“It’s either iron or stone, or just stone iron. These are the only types of meteorites.”
"What do you want? Ice black iron?"
"It's not impossible."
"You have a rich imagination."
"Are you a zombie here and telling me that I have a rich imagination?"
"Ask someone to bring some water and let Ali pour it. Let's transport it back early to avoid spreading the matter too widely during the day and affecting the public. Not good."
In this era, meteorites and other things are often a very bad omen. Even if the demon kings believe in science, the people and soldiers at the bottom are not of such high quality.
"Let Ali water it and cool it down first. I will check to see if the radiation is high. If there is no problem, we will transport it back quickly."
Soon, it will be A soldier brought a bucket of water and did not let others get close. Fan Li carried the bucket by himself and poured it on the meteorite one after another to cool it down.
After a few times, the temperature of the meteorite did drop. Fan Li tried to touch it with his hand and responded:
"It's not hot."
This is what a blind man doesHe walked up and said to himself:
"It seems that the radiation is not large."
Liang Cheng was a little surprised and said: "The detection is so fast?"
"If the radiation is too high, Ali should transform into the Hulk."
"It's not funny to make such a joke at this time."
"Liven up the atmosphere Well." The blind man said, taking out another orange and jumping into the crater while eating;
After careful observation,
the blind man said:
< p>"It looks like it's just silicate. Let's take it back and try to cut it to see if there's anything good inside.Come on, Ali, take it home. "
......
Uncle Zheng returned to Xue Customs at noon the next day, because there was no princess's carriage as a burden on the way back, and the military order issued by the Marquis of Jingnan required him to Hurry back and start preparing, so everyone rushes back non-stop, and the speed is naturally fast.
After returning to the mansion,
Zheng Fan learned the news about the meteorite falling last night.
Immediately said in surprise:
"What?"
......
Uncle Zheng couldn't help but be surprised. Although the crater is two miles away from the north city wall, the total distance is only one thousand meters. distance, and at the same time, his own Hirano Mansion was extremely close to the north city wall.
In other words, if the butterfly wings of the meteorite flap just a little bit more, it is very likely that my home will be gone.
This really scares people to the point of breaking into a cold sweat.
The meteorite was transported back by Fan Li and placed in the dungeon.
There are three secret rooms underground, and each secret room is actually large enough. Half of the reason why it took so long to build the Hirano House was because of this.
Right now,
The sleeping Shatuo Que Stone lies in the easternmost secret room, the Savage King is in the middle, and the meteorite is now placed on the westernmost side.
So, the Savage King is indeed pitiful. One of his two neighbors is a zombie and the other is highly radioactive;
Zheng Fan came to the secret room and looked at the round and edgeless meteorite.
"So, has it been cut?" Zheng Fan asked.
"Not yet, waiting for Xue San to do it." The blind man said.
Xue San also excitedly stepped forward to touch it and said, "It doesn't matter whether you cut it or not. It should be just a lump made of stone and iron."
Said
Xue San joked again:
"Unless you carve words on it, it will be a big deal, King Zheng Fan."
"San'er."
"My lord."
"Can you cut it open today?"
"Yes, no problem, I will cut it overnight today Well organized, although surprises are unlikely, I quite enjoy the process. Tomorrow I will organize the group of people I trained, and set off the day after tomorrow.Lord, you have explored the way. "
"Thank you. "
"Lord, look at what you said. ”
Zheng Fan and the blind man walked out of the basement side by side. When they came upstairs, Zheng Fan patted his clothes. He had just come back and had not had time to take a shower. He was a little sticky from the dust.
The blind man said: "Your Majesty, Marquis Jingnan's order this time is quite difficult. However, the difficulty is one thing, and at the same time, it is clear that Marquis Jingnan values and cultivates you, my lord. ”
“Actually, I don’t want to take risks anymore. It’s good to slowly grow and develop the farm.” "
"This is just what the Lord is thinking now. As the saying goes, he is full of warmth, thinking about silver, and can't wait for the Lord to lead his army into the territory of Chu, but he will feel extremely excited.
Just like when my lord, you only led 300 barbarian cavalry and went directly to Qian Country without even saying hello. ”
“Maybe. "
Blind people are best at reading people's hearts. Zheng Fan did not refute directly, because most of the time, people's eyes will not look at themselves.
"I want more things this time. Get ready. "Zheng Fan warned.
"Don't worry, my lord, we only send a thousand troops. Even if we add Xue San's hundreds of troops, there will be no pressure on our logistics at all. ”
The scale of this troop dispatch is indeed much lower than previously expected.
Sending one thousand troops and fifteen thousand troops, the logistics pressure is not only fifteen times, At the same time, these 1,000 people have to bring enough food and military supplies first, and there is no need to replenish them later.
If a small group of troops goes deep into the enemy's territory, they will definitely be short of food.
"Xue San said, this time you should stay and look after the house. ”
“Don’t worry, Lord, I will definitely protect my home.” ”
“Yeah. ”
“By the way, Lord, do you need to file a memorial about this meteor?” ”
“Let’s send one to Fengxin City. "Zheng Fan said.
It is up to Jingnan Marquis to decide whether to send it to the court or not.
After all, meteorites are very mysterious in the eyes of people of this era. It often carries a great meaning of natural warning, but who told Uncle Zheng to be born under the red flag?
"Yes, I understand, but I feel that the Lord should be more careful. "
"Huh? What's the meaning? "
"In this original world, meteorites were just meteorites. It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of tons of meteorites falling on the earth every year, but most of them are lost in the atmosphere. "
"What's wrong? "
"But in this world, I always feel that I can't believe in science at all. Not to mention the magic of warriors and swordsmen in this world, it is the place where you live now and the place where you are accompanying me. People you live with, you shouldn’t put too much faith in science either. ”
“Blind man, what do you mean? "
"My subordinates always feel that something might be going on. ”
......
Yanjing, Imperial Study Room.
The prince and Ji Chengjue sat face to face.
The prince had just become a filial piety, and he was obviously thinner and had lost weight due to vicissitudes of life.
On the other hand, Ji Chengjue, who is sitting opposite him, must have had a very happy life after his wedding, and he has gained a lot of weight.
The prince's period of filial piety will not be as long as that of officials. Even if some officials' parents have died, if the position is very important and the court cannot do without him, he will be selected by His Majesty at his discretion to avoid Ding's worries. .
After all, a king is a king, the emperor comes before his parents, and he has the emperor's will. If you don't go to Ding You, you will have legal basis.
Of course, most officials do not want Ding You. After all, the position of the court is like a carrot and a pit. It is not easy for him to climb to this position. Ding You will go back in three years and wait until he wants to become an official. When I was a child, it’s hard to say whether I still had your position.
This is true for officials, let alone a prince who is a native of the country.
If the prince is really asked to observe mourning for three years, wouldn't it mean that the country's foundation will be destroyed?
However, although you have paid filial piety and can go out to do things, there are actually many rules that need to be followed in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation. It was only in the past few generations that the country of Yan became stable and the rules began to increase. In the past, there wasn’t really that much emphasis on it.
It’s just that Ganren is always ridiculed because he doesn’t know etiquette. Although he yells that Ganren is a loser and often uses weapons to teach Ganren, he still thinks that he is upright and starts to slowly Etiquette and rules were gradually erected.
The prince seems to have finally lost interest in playing the role of "brothers, friends and brothers",
Ji Chengjue is also happy to be quiet.
On the day of his wedding, he actually announced straight to the point that he was going to join the fight for the heir, and he was in the limelight and all the trump cards were revealed. On the other hand, on the prince's side, first the queen was gone, and then The princess left the capital and almost gave up on this marriage;
The most important thing is,
The queen has been dead for so long,
Marquis Jingnan didn't even send any information about the queen.
There are some military details, but it stands to reason that after the death of a biological sister, the younger brother should go to the capital to pay his respects. Of course, the position of Marquis of Jingnan must be inseparable from him now. The overall situation of the Jin country and Chu People cannot do without him, so His Majesty and the imperial court will definitely first issue an order to appease him, and then persuade him to give up his plan to enter Beijing for the sake of the country's overall interests.
This is a process, but Jingnan Hou seems to have completely avoided this matter, not even willing to go through the process.
Although, everyone can understand whether it is in the court or in the market. After all, he committed suicide without blinking an eye, but now he is shouting to come back because of the death of a sister. Who is complaining? Woolen cloth? Is this necessary?
But the problem is that the current prince is in urgent need of foreign aid to help him maintain his position in the East Palace. Therefore, Marquis Jingnan's ignorance is almost a kind of disregard for the prince's status.
Ji Chengjue yawned and raised his handWhat is in it is the tariff list of the caravans that have come from Beifeng County in the past few months. There is also a list of caravans traveling to Qian Country, but this cannot be disclosed publicly and can only be shown to Zhao Jiulang and his father, because there is friction between the two sides on the border, but the caravan business can still continue to be done. , it doesn’t sound good to speak out.
The two princes just sat there, tea, and no one moved.
Sitting and sitting,
Ji Chengjue couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. When he came here before, Wei Zhonghe said that his father was taking a nap and asked him to wait a little longer, so he could just wait. , but it’s been almost over an hour, and my father hasn’t woken up yet?
Forget it that the father is not awake, Wei Zhonghe has also disappeared, and the two princes are waiting in the side hall of the imperial study. Why, you, the chief chamberlain, just let it go?
Furthermore,
Since I can remember, my father has never had the habit of taking a nap. Putting aside the cold side of being a father, when it comes to being an emperor, It can be said that it is a night of clothing and food, and a lot of energy and thought.
As soon as he thought about this,
Ji Chengjue stood up and said to a young eunuch standing next to him:
“I’ll tell Eunuch Wei later. He said that there are still some things that need to be dealt with in the household department, and he will come to pay his respects when his father wakes up."
"Yes, Your Highness, I know."
Just then Ji Chengjue. When he took steps to walk out,
Wei Zhonghe's voice sounded:
"Your Majesty is driving..."
Ji Chengjue staggered at his feet. ,
Gently make a shape with your mouth:
Ben? Ben? fool? run fast?
"Arrived!"
Alas!
