10 Disciples of Luban
Luban disciples?
Dong Xian knew that Lu Ban, the guy formerly known as Gongyi Ban, was a master of mechanical manufacturing, and she immediately thought of the huge mechanical bird that carried her to Jingzhou: "Sister Yueying, are you also ......?"
"You guessed it." Huang Yueying said with a smile, turned her head, and asked Pang Tong: "In your opinion, Cao Cao is determined to win this time?" ”
"How can Liu Biao resist Cao Cao? He wanted Liu Bei to be the back barrier, but Liu Bei was defeated by the army, Liu Biao let him fend for himself, how could Liu Bei compete with Cao Cao in a short period of time? Now that the north is calm, Cao Cao has no worries, and he goes south to Jingzhou with all his might, which is bound to win. Pang Tong said it in one breath, which made Dong Xian a little surprised.
Huang Yueying pondered for a while and said, "Daddy has also thought of this layer, but the senior brother has not returned, and now he can't finally determine how to evacuate." ”
Pang Tong nodded at the table and said, "Your senior brother has not heard from him for many days, so I don't know if that thing has been successful." ”
Yueying took out a mechanical bird from her sleeve and said, "This is the last bird sent by Senior Brother, it's been three months, and there is nothing on this bird, but, you see, there are only these two patterns on the bird's belly." Everyone passed it one by one, and when it reached Dong Xian's hand, there was a word "show" engraved on the bird's belly, and two dots were engraved next to it.
Dong Xian didn't understand, and passed the mechanical bird to Langtian.
Lang Tian took a closer look, touched his beard and said: "It seems to have been engraved in a hurry, like two words, but it has not been written, is it afraid that someone will find out, so write a code?" ”
"It's not a code, I guess it's a word." Huang Yueying said, "Senior Brother has infiltrated Cao Ying for many years, and we have been relying on mechanical birds to transmit information between us, but why did it suddenly stop recently, I am very worried, and I don't dare to send mechanical birds over in a row, and everything here, if you want to withdraw, you have to wait for Senior Brother to come and take care of it." ”
Pang Tong smiled and said: "Since he won't be able to come back for a while, he can only pray for blessings, Jingzhou can resist Cao Cao's onslaught and not be defeated by him." ”
"Difficult." Diao Chan, who had been silent, thought of the battle of Xiapi, her whole body trembled slightly, Lu Bu, who was invincible in the world, disappeared for no reason, if it wasn't for Langtian to rescue her, she would have become Cao Cao's prey.
Chen Gong was beheaded, Zhang Liao surrendered, and in the end, everyone left her, and several of Lu Bu's wives and concubines were killed. ”
"It would be nice if the senior brother was in Jingzhou, he would be able to resist the Cao army." Huang Yueying looked into the distance.
"You mean that gigantic machine he built ten years ago?" Pang Tong said, "No one has ever seen this thing, where is it?" How to defend against Cao Cao? ”
"Senior Brother is a genius in the Luban Sect, I believe he will definitely be able to resist Cao Jun."
"But now where he is, it's unknown, how can we put our hope in a man who doesn't know where?" Dong Xian suddenly patted his thigh and said, "Pang Tong, you have so many famous people in Jingzhou, why don't you go out of the mountain to assist Liu Biao and repel Cao Cao?" ”
"This ......" Pang Tong was just about to speak, Dong Xian continued: "You manly husband, nest in this mountain all day long, what is the point?" If you don't make contributions, how can you start a business? If you don't start a business, how can you marry a wife and have children? ”
Pang Tong's face was flushed by him, and he couldn't speak, Dong Xian saw that he was embarrassed, and became more and more energetic, and said: "If it wasn't for my father being killed by Lu Bu, how could Cao Cao coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes?" He is not satisfied with the cheap he gets, and he wants to annex the world. I don't care so much, anyway, I just hate him, I don't want to see Jingzhou fall into his hands, before the war starts, you want to escape, it seems that you are broken by Cao Cao's reputation, right? ”
"What are you talking about?" Lang Tian saw her aggressive, and said: "All the heroes of Jingzhou, no one is greedy for life and afraid of death, but Cao Cao annihilated the heroes, and is indeed the most powerful figure among the heroes at present. ”
Lang Tian's words were very serious, Dong Xian was very angry, and just about to sneer at each other, Huang Yueying said: "Everyone is right, but now Xu Shu recommended Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei, this time Kong Ming came, I want to listen to everyone's opinions for the last time, there are many people here who know Liu Bei very well, such as Mrs. Diao Chan, and Cui Zhouping, Meng Gongwei and others will also come together to persuade Kong Ming to take refuge in Cao Cao, where Kong Ming goes, whether to go out of the mountain, the relationship is very important." ”
"In my opinion, Kong Ming should do his best to assist Liu Bei." Lang Tian smiled and said, "Although I am not familiar with Liu Bei, Zhao Zilong can assist Liu Bei wholeheartedly, which shows that Liu Bei is very special." ”
Huang Yueying knew that Lang Tian had a great influence on Zhuge Liang, even his baby goose feather fan was a peerless treasure given to him by Lang Tian, Zhuge Liang was actually like his biological father to him, but she also knew that Zhuge Liang was a very assertive person, deep in his heart, buried his foresight, few people could read him, although Huang Yueying did not want Kong Ming to take refuge in Liu Bei who was like a lost dog, but she had a hunch that Kong Ming had already made a conclusion in his heart, once he decided, it would be difficult for ordinary people to reverse.
Hey, it's good that the senior brother is here, Huang Yueying looked at the floor - the senior brother is the person Kong Ming admires the most, and his unusual political vision will also affect Kong Ming's decision.
"Amitabha!"
Pang Tong's eyes lit up and said, "Your guest has arrived!" ”
Huang Yueying stepped out first, opened the door, and it was An Shigao standing outside the door.
An Shigao took off his hat, leaned his tin staff in the door, saw Huang Yueying looking out of the door, and said, "Mr. Zhuge is still behind, the little monk is anxious, so he came first...... Ah, you're all here. ”
Pang Tong pulled An Shigao into the house and said, "Kong Ming, this guy, must have seen some good mountains and rivers again, right?" ”
An Shigao smiled and said, "He asked the little monk to go first, and the little monk arrived first." ”
Dong Xian saw that An Shigao had arrived, and said happily: "Master, Master, Cao Cao is coming, you are going to fight Cao Cao!" ”
An Shigao smiled and said, "Miss Dong, you are joking with the little monk again." ”
Dong Xian pouted: "It's really boring, Master, you said that I am from Guangyin Tianlai, so do I also have any special magical powers?" ”
An Shigao took the tea handed by Pang Tong, took a sip, and said, "Miss Dong, you will understand in the future, you are the savior of this world!" ”
"Poof!" Dong Xian squirted out a mouthful of tea, which happened to be sprayed on Pang Tong's face, and he hurriedly grabbed the rag and wiped it on Pang Tong's face for a while: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" ”
An Shigao smiled and said, "Miss will understand in the future." Langtian, Liu Xuande has already come to Longzhong. ”
"Oh?" Lang Tian was a little surprised, "He actually came in person?" ”
"You should know his purpose, right?"
"Well, why did Kong Ming leave?"
"Kong Ming naturally has his deep meaning, but according to the little monk's guess, Kong Ming wants to observe Liu Bei again, after all, it is better to see than to hear."
"But he's gone, what do you think?"
"Don't forget, that manor is Jianye's big deal."
"Jianye, I haven't heard from you for three months." Pang Tong sighed.
"He's still safe, Kong Ming has already cracked the code of the mechanical bird." An Shigao said, "Jianye, I am helping Cao Cao build Tongque Terrace." ”
What the!?
Huang Yueying was so shocked that she stood up from her seat, and An Shigao smiled: "Because what he is looking for is in Yecheng." Moreover, he wants to help Cao Cao build Tongquetai into a huge mechanical city. ”
Huang Yueying said: "Impossible, senior brother, how can he help Cao Cao?" ”
"Do you know what Kong Ming's reaction was when he found out?" An Shigao was not surprised at all," Kong Ming said with a smile, Jianye has to do a big thing. ”
"Haha, it's so lively here." A high-pitched voice came from outside the door, Pang Tong hurriedly walked outside the house, and said in a loud voice: "Zhou Ping and Gongwei, please come in, where is Kong Ming?" ”
Cui Zhouping said: "Look, isn't the one in the back?" ”
The two walked into the house, greeted everyone, and sat down, when a loud voice sounded outside the house: "Shiyuan, I'm here...... It's been three years, and you haven't changed at all! ”
"Kong Ming, you kid, why have you grown taller again!" Pang Tong introduced Kong Ming into the house, and everyone looked over, only to see Kong Ming carrying a huge bamboo box on his back, shaking a goose feather fan, and rushed in happily.
"Ah, everyone's here, Shiyuan, help me carry my things into the house."
Pang Tong helped him unload the bamboo box, the bamboo box was very heavy, Pang Tong slowly moved the bamboo box into the inner room: "Kong Ming, what did you bring, why is it so heavy?" ”
"I'm going to stay here for a month!" Kong Ming laughed and sat down.
"Huh? Liu Bei, please come out of the mountain! Pang Tong's voice came from inside the house.
Kong Ming fiddled with his bandana and said with a smile: "I'll go back in a month, it's just right." Shi Yuan, I can eat you and live with you. Ladies and gentlemen, Ryo has met you. ”
"Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei came all the way to see you, why did you hide from you?" Dong Xian said angrily.
Zhuge Liang didn't think it was wrong, shook the feather fan, and said: "I was about to ask you, is this Liu Bei and Uncle Liu Huang a hero who stands up to the sky?" ”
"Being able to escape from Cao Cao's hands and being hailed as a hero in the world by Cao Cao, Liu Bei should be regarded as a landless hero, right?" Pang Tong came out of the house, his forehead already sweating.
"Kong Ming, you don't want to take refuge in Liu Bei, do you?" Lang Tian's face was expressionless.
Everyone stopped talking and stared at Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang sat down and said, "No, I am determined to take refuge in Cao Cao!" ”
Yecheng.
Sweat dripped on the stone steps, a middle-aged man looked back, he was already in the air at a height of thirty zhang, the strong wind was blowing, a little panicked, and then looked up, the end of the stone steps had been covered by thick fog.
"Take a break. Jianye. The old man next to him, who was in his sixties, sat on the stone steps and smoked a cigarette.
Jianye wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked into the distance, his feet were tightly shackled by iron shackles, and every step he took was very difficult.
"Let's go, the time limit is coming soon, if you don't hurry up, you won't be able to finish your work." Jianye continued to walk up.
He looked back again, and on the Xuanwu Lake that Cao Cao had just dug in the distance, there were already sergeants practicing on the boat.
There are still more than 30 steps to go.
He had to pick up the pace.
Last night, he received a mechanical bird sent by Zhuge Liang, and he already knew everything that happened in Jingzhou.
Cao Cao was going south - after Zhuge Liang received his news, he replied with another message - the Divine Beast Weapon.
He understood that Zhuge Liang was not concerned about Cao Jun's southward movement, but about another matter.
Something that is closely related to his current work.
This bronze bird platform that Cao Cao ordered him to build is above the location of the two divine beasts.
In Yecheng, two divine beasts came out at once, one Cao Cao was given to Xu Chu, and the other was still somewhere in this Tongque Terrace.
Jianye's heart sank, and a bold suggestion given by Zhuge Liang was heavier for him than Cao Cao's task of ordering him to build Tongquetai.
He looked at the more than 200 large and small palaces that had begun to be built on the Bronze Bird Terrace, and recalled the huge and cumbersome machinery inside the Bronze Bird Terrace, and he decided to take a risk.
"As a disciple of Luban, please help me and help the people in the world!"
Zhuge Liang's words often echoed in his ears.
