The most powerful film and television lottery

Chapter 378 Chapter 381
The bandit soldiers on both sides of the strait and still on the pontoon bridge were in chaos, fleeing desperately, and were limited to the desperate situation of complete collapse.

"boom"!The fireworks burst into a blue-white light in the sky on the other side.

Shen Mu shouted loudly: "Attack!"

The ranch army sent out [-] cavalry, and in formations of [-] men each, they rushed towards the enemy like five tornadoes.

There are more than a dozen forests on the top of the hills, and the flames are burning wildly, eclipsing the stars and the moon in the sky.

On the bank of the river, corpses lie everywhere.

Five of the eight pontoon bridges have been broken, but the killing has just begun.

The young marshals and the ranch soldiers all wear yellow belts on their heads. Anyone who lacks this yellow belt will be killed without mercy.

Shen Mu and Shang Xiuxun successively crossed the only remaining pontoon bridge to join Xuan Yong.

Although they won a complete victory this time, only a few thousands of the enemy escaped, but their own side also suffered heavy casualties. Nearly a thousand soldiers were lost in the ranch, and 500 people were killed in the Young Marshal's Army, not counting the wounded.

This is the price of war.

Shang Xiuxun withdrew his searching gaze and asked Xuan Yong, "Where's Xu Ziling?"

Xuan Yong replied respectfully: "Master Xu led people to chase and kill Cao Yinglong and Fang Jianding."

Shang Xiuxun asked anxiously, "Which direction did you go?"

Xuanyong pointed to the southeast.

In the morning light, the plains and grasslands stretch endlessly.

Shang Xiuxun applauded and went, coquettishly saying: "Let's go help."

Shen Mu was stunned at first, and then he followed closely behind her horse, feeling bittersweet in his heart.

In the early morning of the next day, under the leadership of Shen Mu and Shang Xiuxun, nearly a thousand ranch warriors covered up like a swift cloud, just in time to watch Cao Yinglong turn into a small dot at the end of the horizon at the dawn of dawn.

Shang Xiuxun looked suspiciously at the lone rider riding away, came to Xu Ziling and asked, "Isn't that Cao Yinglong?"

Xu Ziling said calmly, "It's him!"

Shang Xiuxun lost her voice: "What?"

At this moment, Shen Mu rode his horse to the other side of Xu Ziling, reined in his horse and stopped, his gaze shifted from Cao Yinglong to the place where the corpse was buried, where the house with a wooden stick on his back saw the cauldron, but he didn't speak.

Shang Xiuxun's face darkened, he stared at Xu Ziling fiercely and said, "Why did you let him go?"

Xu Ziling lowered his head and glanced at the bamboo tube in his hand, and said calmly: "He traded the secret about Yang Xuyan in exchange for half a year's life, so that he can fulfill a wish he has had for many years."

Shang Xiuxun changed his face and said: "What kind of thing is Yang Xuyan, but in Master Xu's heart he thinks it is more important than the blood feud of thousands of soldiers in my ranch?"

Shen Mu hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "The owner calm down, Ziling must have his reasons for doing this."

Shang Xiuxun said with a cold face: "Of course you helped him! I'm not angry, but I need a satisfactory explanation." At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and although thousands of soldiers gathered on the grassland, everyone was silent and held their breath Calm.

Xu Ziling looked at Shang Xiuxun, who had staring eyes and a pretty pale face, and said with a wry smile: "I made up my mind not to let Cao Yinglong leave alive. It's only because the information he exchanged would involve the life and death of a friend of my younger brother. No……"

Shang Xiuxun interrupted him: "What friend?"

Xu Ziling replied honestly: "It's Shi Qingxuan, has the owner heard of her name?"

Shang Xiuxun was stunned for a moment, and then the blood on her pretty face faded away. Shen Mu cried out in his heart, but when he didn't know how to remedy it, the beautiful farm owner screamed: "It turned out to be Shi Qingxuan, no wonder you Xu Ziling bought our ranch! Regardless of the blood feud, let this villain who killed a thousand swords go back to the sea and return to the mountain, and let him continue to harm the people, so I misunderstood you."

Then he looked at Shen Mu and said fiercely: "I'm going to chase Cao Yinglong now, whether you go or not."

Shen Mu wondered: "Young Master Ling said just now that Cao Yinglong is half dead, he won't live for half a year, hey!"

Shang Xiuxun said word by word: "I just ask you, should you go or not?"

Shen Mu said dejectedly: "What Young Master Ling said is the same as what I, Kou, said. Please forgive me, the host."

Shang Xiuxun rode his horse forward for more than ten steps, then circled back, glanced around, nodded with phoenix eyes and said "yes" three times, and then coquettishly said: "The kindness and resentment between me and you, Let's make a clean break here, and we will have nothing to do in the future. Brothers! Come with me!"

She stopped chasing Cao Yinglong, and just rode away on the same path, and all the ranch soldiers had to chase after her, coming and going like a whirlwind, and walked away in the blink of an eye, only Xu Kou and hundreds of soldiers were left , looking at each other with your eyes, without words.

Shen Mu jumped off the horse, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "A jealous woman."

Xu Ziling said helplessly, "I'm sorry!"

Shen Mu put his arms around his shoulders and said, "Two brothers in one world, why do you say such things? If there is no Pegasus Ranch, there will be no Pegasus Ranch, and it's not the end of the world."

Feeling warm in Xu Ziling's heart, he stuffed the bamboo tube into Shen Mu's hands, and said in a low voice, "It should be the treasure map of the stolen goods, and it should be for Yang Xuyan. Take a look if you have time!"

While the Young Marshal was cleaning up the battlefield, the two sat on a pile of rocks beside Zhangshui, studying the precious information provided by Cao Yinglong.

Shen Mu picked up a broken long arrow beside his feet, played with it, and said, "Cao Yinglong should be telling the truth. Otherwise, he is a genius who fabricates and brags. At least the matter of Yang Xuyan's injury is not a lie. And if we use it for comparison Shang Xiuxun's words fit seamlessly. Sigh! This beauty's master has such a temper, whoever marries her must be in bad luck, my mother!"

Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said: "This is called different backgrounds. We are blessed by the boss, and we are used to accommodating others since we were young, but she is superior. Although the surroundings are full of people, she hides alone in her small world isolated from the crowd, saying Endless desolation and loneliness. So even if she doesn't know how to put herself in other people's shoes, we can't blame her. We only hope that she will change her mind after she calms down! Otherwise, your plan to recapture Jingling will be dead in your womb."

Shen Mu sighed: "I don't blame her. Life will never go well, otherwise Mother and Sister Su would not have to die. But if I were you, I would let Lao Cao fulfill his wish before death. I guessed right, Shi Qingxuan is the custodian of the classics of the Huajian School, and even took care of the classics of Butian Pavilion by the way. And Yang Xuyan pretended to be Hou Xibai, the secret heir of the Huajian School, and went to Bashu to trick her into harming her. What are you going to do?"

Xu Ziling held his head and said, "Do I have another choice?"

Shen Mu smiled and said, "Don't act like you're in pain. I think you're really happy because you have an excuse to go to Miss Shi. If you move your butt, I know whether you're standing or sitting in the toilet."

Xu Ziling looked at him in surprise, and said, "I never thought you would be in the mood to make such a dirty joke."

Shen Mu said tragically: "Although we have won a big victory this time, we have lost nearly half of our brothers. They have been with me through life and death, but I can't take them back to reunite with their families and share the wealth. How can we get rid of them without saying a few foul words?" filled with grief."

Xu Ziling said in astonishment, "Your way of mourning is really weird."

Shen Mu looked at him carefully and said, "You have always been more compassionate than me, why do you seem a little indifferent?"

Xu Ziling pondered for a moment, then sighed softly: "I am not indifferent, but I am a little insensitive to life and death. After Sister Su passed away, I often thought about the issue of life and death. What will happen after death? One is 'yes', the other is 'nothing. '. If there is nothing, it will be over. Pain, sadness, despair, and depression are only the things of the living. If there is, it will be really interesting. Whether it is reincarnated or in the palace of heaven and hell, it is a different world. Thinking about it this way, death is not so terrible. We cry for death, but we can’t see through it. I even look forward to death a little bit. God is very fair in this regard. No matter you are a prince or just an ordinary person, you You have to experience it for yourself.”

Shen Mu was stunned when he heard that, and he let out a sigh of relief after a while: "Expectation is nothing but expectation, you are not allowed to commit suicide, at least you must not seek death before finding 'Duke Yang's Treasure'."

Xu Ziling said unhappily: "Go to your grandma! Good! I must enter Bashu immediately, where are you going?"

Shen Mu said distressedly: "Of course the most ideal is to accompany you to visit your little Qingxuan, but unfortunately I have to rush to see Chen Changlin and his Jiangnan soldiers, so I have to make an appointment with you, and after meeting, we will go to Guanzhong to try our luck together .Alas! You have to be careful!"

Xu Ziling said calmly: "Are you afraid that I will die to accompany you to hunt for treasure?"

Shen Mu said: "Compared to my good brother, what kind of thing is 'Yanggong Treasure'?"

Xu Ziling stood up and said: "I'm just joking, everyone should be careful. We are not only involved in the maelstrom of fighting for the world, but also gradually involved in the secret wrestling between good and evil. A Shushen will fall into a place of eternal doom."

Shen Mu hurriedly stood up, staring at the sun that was setting in the west, and said word by word: "In fact, we have been caught in this unknown struggle for a long time, and we can't escape. This is fate."

A few days later, Shen Mu and Xu Ziling agreed to infiltrate the rich merchant Sha's family under the false identity of Mo, and come to Chang'an City with the Sha family to search for Yang Gong's treasure.

In the early morning, when Shen Mu woke up, it was not yet dawn, and he watched through the window, two big boats were sailing westward on the big river, one after the other.

Putting on the mask and outer robe, after a little freshening up, Shen Mu picked up the long sword and saber wrapped in cloth by the side of the pillow, opened the door and went out, and walked towards the deck of the boat.All the servants he met were respectful and courteous to him.

Suddenly someone called him from behind, it turned out to be the butler Shafu, this loyal and good man came to Shen Mu who was parked in front of the cabin door, and said with a nervous expression: "Mr. Mo wants to go outside?"

Shen Mu said in astonishment: "What's wrong?"

Sha Fu whispered: "Since midnight last night, a five-masted ship has been chasing after us, and now it is less than half a mile away from us. Teacher Chen, Teacher Mao and others are on guard."

Although five-masted ships are quite rare in inland rivers, Shen Mu didn't care about mere river robbers. He thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What's my name?"

Shafu asked in amazement, "What's your name?"

Shen Mu laughed and said: "This is funny to say, my uncle always thought my real name Mo Daniu was not good-looking, so he changed my name to Mo Da, and then felt that this name was too pretentious, so I wanted to create a new name, so I went on like this. Changing the name, changing the name repeatedly and being dissatisfied, until now even I myself don't know what to call it, so I had to make up my mind to use the name that my uncle told the third young lady that day as the name. I don't know which name the uncle used to introduce the younger brother to the third young lady?"

Sha Fu is an honest man, how could he think that Shen Mu didn't even know his own name, so he believed it was true and said, "Then Mr. Mo should be called Mo Yixin!"

Shen Mu said happily: "Ha! Mo Yixin." After speaking, he stepped over the threshold and came to the deck of the boat.

More than a dozen warriors from the Sha family were all concentrated on the deck of the boat, while Chen Laiman and Mao Shichang were watching from the stern of the boat a large ship half a mile behind appeared in the twilight.

There are also warriors on guard on the deck of another Sha family ship, the number of them is two or three times that of this ship.

Holding the long sword in his hand, Shen Mu came to the side of Chen Mao and said: "It may also be a ship that wants to enter the customs like us!"

Mao Shichang said nervously: "This ship is a sea-going ship with a very deep draft. If it is not necessary, it will not follow us to rush overnight. From my point of view, it is suspicious."

Shen Mugong gathered his eyes and looked at it with godly, suddenly the tiger's body shook, and he almost cried out.

Mao Shichang and Chen Laiman looked at it in astonishment.

Shen Mu knew that he had lost his composure, and quickly covered it up: "This ship is speeding up, and it can catch up with us in half an hour."

Mao Shichang was relieved after waiting for this.

The two sailing boats of the Sha family, escorted by two warships of the Tang Dynasty, arrived in Chang'an City through the Guangtong Canal that runs through the Yellow River and Chang'an, the capital of Tang Dynasty. , completely beyond the expectation of Shen Mu, a fake genius doctor.

Looking at it calmly, Shen Mu almost jumped into the river to escape. Those who greeted him knew Dugu Feng, Dugu Ce, Dugu Feng and other leaders of the Dugu Clan, and there were more people they didn't know. It seemed that they were all powerful and wealthy businessmen in Chang'an. Zhisha succeeded in saying that his Sha family is the richest man in Luoyang, which is not a lie.

What attracted his attention the most was the person wearing the prince's robe who looked like Li Shimin, needless to say it was Li Jiancheng, the prince of the Tang Dynasty.His figure is similar to Li Shimin's, but his face is narrower and elongated, and he lacks Li Shimin's awe-inspiring righteousness, but his eyes are powerful, and he is by no means an ordinary person.

Sure enough, Chang He in the front whispered to Sha Tiannan: "I didn't expect His Royal Highness to greet us in person. It's really giving us great face."

Sha Tiannan couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

Shen Mu huddled among Chen Laiman, Mao Shichang and others. When things came to an end, he kept calm and calm, revisiting the actions, sitting and lying manners, tone of voice and voice that he planned to practice these days, hoping to be able to fool around. Into the city, and then take the opportunity to escape.

Fortunately, the attention of those who greeted them was all focused on the members of the Sha family, and they were not even interested in glancing at Shen Mu.

He left when people left, and stopped when people stopped. When Li Jiancheng gave a welcome speech to Sha Tiannan who had landed, Shen Mu and others remained on the deck, waiting for arrangements.

Shen Mu secretly thanked God, watching the members of the Sha family board the carriage one by one, and leave together with Li Jiancheng under the protection of all the soldiers and guards, and not even half of the Dugu family left. The guards and servants landed.

More than a hundred people were entertained by another official, boarded another team of carriages, and rushed to the Sha family's new house in Chang'an in the rain and snow.

Chen Laiman, who was in the same car, said joyfully, "The Prince Jiancheng treats the master so courteously, our Sha family will surely create a new situation in Guanzhong."

Shen Mu was planning how to desert and slip away, when he heard the words, he said casually: "What kind of business is our Sha family doing?"

Mao Shichang was surprised and said: "Mr. Mo didn't know. Our Sha family started with mineral deposits and is famous all over the world for its hardware craftsmanship. It's just that there are over a hundred weapon factories all over the country, and there are more than ten mines in Guanzhong alone."

Shen Mu thought to himself, no wonder Li Jiancheng valued Sha Tiannan so much, he turned out to be a big merchant who controls the lifeblood of the military industry.

It would be a major blow for Wang Shichong to lose this person.

Chen Laiman lowered his voice and said, "The most powerful defensive crossbow in Luoyang was designed and supervised by the master himself!"

Shen Mu was overjoyed, because he already knew that Li Jiancheng had the intention of personally overseeing the attack on Luoyang.

Just as he was thinking about it, the sound of hooves came towards him. Chang He and another general rode over and stopped the team.

When Shen Mu's "heart hit like a deer", Chang He and the general rode to Shen Mu's car and called out, "Mr. Mo!"

Shen Mu braced himself and poked his head out, and responded, "I'm here, what advice does Master Chang have?"

Another general said politely: "The last general, Feng Liben, has met Mr. Mo."

Chang He introduced with a smile: "General Feng is the commander of the East Palace of His Royal Highness, we are good friends."

Shen Mu knew something was wrong, so Feng Liben said, "Your Highness didn't know that Mr. Mo was here, and it would be disrespectful, so I ordered you to meet Mr. Mo in the future. Please meet him in the palace immediately."

Shen Mu called his mother in his heart, but he didn't have a good way to refuse, so he untied his long sword, got out of the carriage and rode on a horse, and galloped to the palace with the two of them.

The VIP Hall of Todaiji Temple is full of imperial guards, all of whom have been carefully selected. Everyone has a strong back and a tall waist.The commanding general is Li Gengcheng Wang Zhi.Guan Xiaoran was very familiar with him. After reporting Xu Ziling's name, Xu Ziling took off his sword according to the rules, and accompanied by Wang Zhi, he stepped across the threshold.

The Datang Palace of the Li family consists of two parts: the imperial city and the palace city.The former is the location of an office of the central government of the Tang Dynasty; the latter is the residence of the royal family.In the middle, it is separated by a large square-style street with a width of more than a thousand steps that traverses from east to west. All reforms, amnesties, New Year's Day, winter solstice court meetings, military parades, and captives are all held here, so it is called "outside court".

The main gates of the imperial palace in the imperial city are three gates located on the north-south central axis. The south of the imperial city is the Suzaku gate facing Mingde gate, the main gate in the south of the city.The main gate in the south of Miyagi is Chengtian Gate, and the street connecting Chengtian Gate and Suzaku Gate is called Tianjie.

Xuanwu Gate is the gate to the north of Miyagi, and outside the gate is the backyard of Miyagi "West Inner Garden".The three gates of Suzaku, Chengtian, and Xuanwu form the main axis of the imperial city, Miyagi, with strong fortifications and strict guards.Xuanwumen is also the seat of the headquarters of the imperial guards, with a strong military force, who can control Xuanwumen, etc., if they control the palace, or even the entire capital.

Miyagi consists of three parts: Taiji Palace in the middle, Yeting Palace in the west and Donggong Palace in the east.Taiji Palace is the living place of Tang Emperor Li Yuan, the East Palace is the residence of Prince Li Jiancheng, the West Yeting Palace is the residence of Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji's Wude Palace is located in the West Inner Garden north of the East Palace.
