Strange Tale of Qingluan

Li Xuan thought for a while, and put forward his own opinion: "Tomorrow, let's make a weathervane out of wood first, and make as many masks as there are iron materials."

Su Zhongming nodded, and then answered: "The nose of this gas mask..."

Before finishing speaking, Fei'er laughed, covered her mouth with her hands and murmured in a low voice: "Pig nose...!"

Su Zhongming couldn't help blurting out: "A pig's nose is a pig's nose!" Then he got down to business, "We have to chop the charcoal into pieces, just like pomegranates. Then use iron mesh to seal the front and back of the mask's nose. That way, the charcoal doesn't get in our noses."

Yitian tilted his head, and asked first: "What is this mesh?"

Su Zhongming replied: "It is to beat iron into filaments, like cotton thread, and then, like weaving cloth, weave them intertwined, like a well, but there must be some gaps so that we can breathe."

Li Xuan opened his lips: "It sounds complicated. You have to draw a detailed picture, so that the blacksmith brothers will know what to do."

Su Zhongming replied: "I know."

As soon as the words were finished, an urgent sound of horns suddenly came from the military tent.

When everyone heard the sound, they couldn't help becoming alert, and immediately stood up.

Yi Yeqing blurted out: "Unexpectedly, the enemy came so soon and launched a night attack tonight!" Then he said to Li Xuan, "Lihou! Protect the lord!"

Li Xuan replied: "I am the coach! I should play!"

Yi Yeqing said: "At this time, don't fight over who will lead the army first! Li Hou! Listen to me first!" After finishing speaking, he immediately rushed out of the army tent.

Li Xuan also wanted to follow to meet him, so he hurriedly took a step, but only took one step, and a hand hurriedly held his hand.Li Xuan turned his head, and at that moment, he met Su Zhongming's face.

Su Zhongming begged: "Listen to Ah Qing."

Li Xuan had no choice but to give up his thoughts, and sat down obediently with the rest of the people to wait.

The sound of fighting came from a distance. It seemed that the place of battle was not at the entrance and exit of the barracks. Everyone felt a little relieved, but they were still fidgeting.

In this night battle, I don't know how many troops the enemy has brought, but I only feel a big stone hanging in my heart.

Only half an hour later, suddenly a soldier rushed into the army tent in a panic and reported: "Report! The injured soldier has been brought back and needs to be healed!"

Su Zhongming asked: "How many people were injured?"

The soldier replied: "About 60 people!"

After hearing this, Fei'er immediately ran out of the military tent to treat the wounded, and Ye Shuangshuang also followed.

Su Zhongming also made a decision immediately, and ordered: "Yitian! You go with them too!"

Yitian stared in shock: "I...I...how can I..."

Su Zhongming simply said: "Now is the time when there is a shortage of people, Fei'er and Shuangshuang must be too busy!"

Yitian had no choice but to follow the order.

In the army tent, only Su Zhongming and Li Xuan were left.

After a moment of silence, Su Zhongming suddenly asked: "Tell me, is Huirou okay now?"

Li Xuan lowered his eyes slightly, and said expressionlessly: "I don't want to care about her affairs."

Su Zhongming persuaded: "But Huirou is also..."

Li Xuan interrupted him: "She is close to Chaosheng. Maybe she is also an accomplice in the matter of your death and loss of King Wen's power! The Queen Mother was forced into the palace, and she is also an accomplice! Don't think about whether she is doing well or not. It's the fruit she planted with her own hands."

After Su Zhongming listened, he couldn't say a word of rebuttal, he just lowered his eyes quietly and sighed helplessly.

The solitary lamp was burning silently, completely unaware of the fierce battle outside.

Below the mountainside, sparks are dotted, flickering and moving everywhere, and the arrows are flying like nightingales, and their heads are straight into the tree trunks, into the grass, into the flesh, the wounded soldiers screamed, and the gravel rolled down from the mountain one after another. Next, the screams became more and more, and the scene became more chaotic. It was difficult to distinguish the source of the sound, and it was completely unclear how much blood fell on the grass. The dark night covered everything. Snow brutal.

Fei'er was busy in the open space of the barracks. She had already bandaged the wounds of more than 40 soldiers. Beads of sweat were dripping down. keep increasing.

Yitian kept tearing the gauze at the side, feeling too anxious, accidentally, the gauze cut the pulp of his index finger, and a drop of blood spilled out, he couldn't help but yelled: "It hurts!"

Ye Shuangshuang hurriedly grabbed his hand, glanced at it in the dim light of the fire, hurriedly tore out a small piece of cloth for him, bandaged the wound, and advised: "Be careful! We are the only ones to save lives." !"

Yitian didn't speak, but gritted his teeth and continued to tear the long gauze fiercely.

The piece that came out of the wound was thrown on the ground casually, with a little bit of blood remaining, but no one paid any attention to it.

In the military tent, Su Zhongming and Li Xuan were sitting face to face. Almost an hour had passed. Su Zhongming couldn't bear it anymore, so he stood up abruptly, turned around and wanted to go out to have a look at the military situation.

Li Xuan hurriedly grabbed his hand and persuaded: "As the lord, you should reserve a seat in the military tent, so as to stabilize the morale of the army!"

Su Zhongming said anxiously: "How did the battle go? I really want to know!"

Li Xuan continued: "I want to know too! I'm also anxious! But you must hold your breath!" After a pause, he made a suggestion, "Sit down and play chess with me for a while."

Su Zhongming simply replied: "I am not good at chess!"

Li Xuan said generously: "Let you take three steps!"

Su Zhongming had no choice but to return to his original position and sit cross-legged again.

Li Xuan took out a piece of worn coarse cloth and two thin bamboo tubes, and sat in front of Su Zhongming. He laid out the coarse cloth neatly, which was a chessboard, and he handed the other bamboo tube to Su Zhongming.

He pulled out the plug, poured it into his palm, and poured out a few black chess pieces from the bamboo tube. Su Zhongming couldn't help saying: "You are quite careful. It is very convenient to put the chess pieces in the bamboo tube after you buy them."

Li Xuan replied: "When I was boarding at Luomeizhuang, I bought it on the street by chance. The bamboo tube is also from Luomeizhuang." Then he asked, "Who will take the first step?"

Su Zhongming replied: "Didn't you tell me to take three steps? You go first."

Li Xuan picked up a white chess unceremoniously and placed it on a place on the board.

Su Zhongming also picked up a black chess piece, looked at the board, hesitated for a moment, and then settled the chess piece on the board.

On the mountainside, the light of the fire and the light of the knife are intertwined. The sound of the tragic metal monsters and the screams of people severely tore the quiet atmosphere in the dark night. The movement of the fire became more chaotic and urgent. One side of the vinegar was extinguished bit by bit, while the other side became stronger bit by bit, gradually surrounding a part of the fire, intending to devour it, but the weak fire suddenly withdrew and quickly fled to the foot of the mountain.

In the military tent, the two were still playing chess. Su Zhongming's fingertips suddenly became unstable. Before the black chess between his fingertips settled on the board, it slid down and landed in an unintended area.Su Zhongming panicked in a hurry, picked up the black chess, raised his eyes and asked Li Xuan: "Can I play again..."

Li Xuan replied: "You don't have many chess pieces anymore, I'll let you move three more."

Su Zhongming turned his head and glanced at the black chess beside him, only six pieces remained.

After accurately settling the black chess, Su Zhongming asked again: "What should I do if this game of chess is finished?"

Li Xuan replied: "A game of chess is a battle on the battlefield. If our side wins, it will end earlier than this game." Immediately, a white chess was simply settled.

Su Zhongming picked up a black chess piece and hesitated for a long time before deciding on it.

In the blink of an eye, Su Zhongming only had three black pieces left, no matter whether he advances or retreats in this game, he will undoubtedly lose.But Su Zhongming didn't worry at all, he picked up a black chess piece and thought about the way to play it.

The door curtain was suddenly knocked open, and a soldier rushed in, clapping his hands and reporting: "Report! The enemy has withdrawn from Ming'an Mountain!"

Su Zhongming turned his head immediately when he heard the words, overjoyed and said: "Really?!" But he forgot that there was still a chess piece in his hand.

Li Xuan snatched the pieces back from his hands and began to put his head down to pack them up. While packing up the pieces, he said, "Let me just say, our side wins, and it will end sooner than this game of chess."

Su Zhongming stood up and said with a smile, "Let me take a look!" After saying that, he followed the soldier and ran out of the military tent.

Outside the military tent, there was a blaze of flames, the wounded soldiers were sent back to the military tent one by one, Fei'er, Ye Shuangshuang and Yi Tian all looked tired in the flames.

Su Zhongming came and opened his lips: "Everyone has worked hard!"

Fei'er stretched her waist and said, "Finally I can sleep peacefully!"

Ye Shuangshuang added: "This is the first time I have experienced a complete victory, and I feel very happy!"

Yitian just looked down at his hands and didn't speak.

Su Zhongming took a closer look, and said with concern: "Injured? It seems that you worked hard just now..."

Yitian glanced at Su Zhongming, lowered his hands, suddenly smiled, and just asked: "Teacher, I've worked so hard tonight and helped a lot, can you give me a vacation tomorrow or something? "

Su Zhongming replied: "The brat really knows how to ask! Tomorrow you can sleep until the sun is shining on your buttocks, but when I call you, don't run away."

Yitian was overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed: "Yeah!"

Yi Yeqing came towards him, and greeted him: "My lord."

Su Zhongming directly ordered: "Chaosheng is defeated this time, and he will definitely send spies to spy on the situation. Starting tomorrow, hang up my flag, and I will let him know that I am back!"

Yi Yeqing hesitated a little, and replied: "But my lord, if he knows that it's you, I'm afraid he will violate the rules of the battlefield and attract the children of Mufeng Society."

Su Zhongming said firmly: "If he dares to do this, he will definitely negotiate with Mufeng Society and exchange me for the territory occupied by Ge Yunguo in the east of Wenguo, but Huang Yan is so cunning that he obviously won't agree. After a pause, he said again, "When the two armies are fighting, Huang Yanding wants to take advantage of his left-handed fisherman. He will stand by and watch, and will never participate in it."

Yi Yeqing refused to let go of his vigilance, and persuaded: "But for Huang Yan, I have to be more vigilant."

Su Zhongming simply came up with a plan: "Send a letter to my righteous sister Pingxuan as soon as possible, and tell her to pay attention to the situation of outsiders passing through the territory of Huangyuan Kingdom. If Huang Yan really sends someone to disrupt the situation, he will definitely pass through Huangyuan Kingdom first."

Yi Yeqing bowed his hands to accept the order, and said: "It's better to tell Li Hou about this matter."

Su Zhongming promised: "I will tell him."
