Chapter Eighty-Three: The Terrible Rabbit
King Yue Ze was playing at a friend's house, and he had a little fun.
When he first came, he was still a little nervous, and it wasn't until the past few days that he recovered and felt that he had really come to play. He didn't expect that he would be of some use; I didn't expect that the officials of the so-called Ministry of Industry would be so useless.
As soon as Tang Yan turned around, he saw King Yue Ze looking at him with a "why are you so stupid" look again.
A few bosses of the Ministry of Engineering have been replaced to supervise the work here, and it is definitely not a look, and they can be scolded for a long time. King Yue Ze is a well-known soft bun inside and outside the palace, and after losing a look, he asked, "Why don't I come?" โ
"No!" Tang Yan refused without thinking, "Don't dare to have Lord Lao, just leave it to the lower officials." โ
King Koshizawa: But you're not okay, are you?
He finally made a good friend, and now that his good friend has entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, he can't live up to the trust of his good friend. Thinking so in his heart, a little anxiety came out of his face.
Tang Yan hadn't withdrawn his gaze from King Yue Ze's face, and when he saw the appearance of frowning slightly and pursing his lips, he seemed to feel that he had seen His Majesty when he was young.
Although there is a lot of age difference between King Koshizawa and Imagami, they are brothers after all, and they are somewhat similar. Today, I have accumulated power for a long time, but now I don't need to make any expressions to say "I'm angry", this kind of obvious expression is still more common when Isakami was young. On the contrary, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not often have such an expression.
Tang Yan was born into a family, and when he had not yet stepped into the officialdom in his early years, he often interacted with these wealthy dignitaries, and although he did not see much when he was still a prince, he was deeply impressed every time. Now seeing King Yue Ze like this, his mind has not yet turned around, and his mouth is soft first: "It's because the lower officials are not thoughtful, and I ask the prince for advice." โ
"Look closely." King Yue Ze raised his eyebrows slightly at the change in Tang Yan's attitude, but he didn't say much. To put it bluntly, no matter how much Tang Yan and these people look down on him, they can't do anything with him.
He just took over the materials in Tang Yan's hand, and he didn't need to weigh them at all, almost like the most experienced pharmacy guy grabbing medicine, he quickly poured a few materials into a porcelain basin and shook it. The powder liquid of various colors in the porcelain basin gradually mixed, and slowly turned into a slightly thicker yellowish transparent liquid.
Tang Yan: Is this for him to see the gods?
King Yue Ze clapped his hands: "Okay." Pack these up and be careful not to get them in your hands. โ
This solution was prepared by him by accident, and it was extremely domineering. He used it to open up bunkers, and almost all of his reconstructions, except for the original cave, used this solution. When using, a small bottle can be mixed with a large tank of water, sprayed on the rock, or not long, the rock can become the same as tofu, and after the transformation is completed, sprinkle the water again, after half a day the rock can be hardened again, very easy to use.
King Yueze's hand, Ruan Bai can't fix it. There seems to be no difference between this world and the world he was originally in, but the differences in many details are still obvious. If he hadn't been able to spare time, he would almost want to be like Tang Yan and the others, soak in the workshop and not come out.
"Speaking of which, the area of the workshop is also going to be expanded." Ruan Bai arrived outside the workshop, didn't go in, and went around first. Originally, he used the workshop alone, but now not only more people use it, but also the products and dangerous goods involved in it are also increasing, and it is best to distinguish between various realities, and the security and confidentiality must also keep up.
He pulled his fingers in his heart and calculated, it happened to be summer, and there was not much rain in the northwest in summer, so he would ask someone to ask the foreman when he would come over and have a look.
King Yue Ze opened the door and said, "Why didn't you come in when you came?" โ
Ruan Bai said this about the problem he had just considered.
King Yue Ze yawned: "No need to rebuild, just go back and get one under my bunker." Big place there. "Concealment of security is not a problem.
Nguyen Bai had a rough idea of the structure of the bunker. In addition to the caves, most of the other is actually a dry riverbed after the diversion of an underground river. Last time, he had limited time, but he took about two steps, but King Yue Ze opened up a long way......
He saw King Yue Ze stretch his waist and asked, "Didn't sleep yesterday?" Sorry, I didn't think about it beforehand, it's too late. โ
"Hmm." King Yue Ze then shook his head, "It's okay if you don't sleep with Ah Bai." He glanced at the workshop, pursed his lips and whispered, "It's that they are too stupid, I really don't know how the imperial brother can use ......" The rest of the words disappeared from his mouth, leaving only a heart full of puzzlement, staying in the big and round eyes of the rabbit.
It's not that the rabbit prince thinks that Tang Yan is useless, but such a fierce "beast" should be a general and lead the troops to fight, why did he become a civil official?
Ruan Bai probably understood a little bit of King Yue Ze's thoughts. It's not so much that science and the like aren't taken seriously in Da Zhou, but that there is no such thing at all. The existing research on qiฤ is still very crude. And Yue Zewang is the other among them, a real genius scientist.
"When my Ah Hao is busy for a while, I'll let him learn from you." There are also geniuses in his family, and I don't know what kind of sparks can collide between the two heavens, and whether they can โกโก...... Ahem, bullets come out.
King Yue Ze didn't react to who Ah Hao was at first, and nodded his head only to find that Ah Hao = Chu Hao = Prince of Pingxi!! He looked at Ruan Bai with a blank face, the Pingxi Wang family is so terrible, can you not do it?
Ruan Bai's mind was taken away by the arrival of the king and wife of Pingxi, and the remaining half was on the task in front of him, and he didn't feel the resistance of his good friend at all.
Early this morning, Chu Hao and King Pingxi, father and son, hurriedly went to the barracks after sweeping up breakfast. The princess dressed up and continued to set up a stall with eggs and chickens, looking very interested.
He still had the matter of him and Chu Hao in his heart, and he couldn't figure out what the situation was now, so he could only find things to distract him.
Obsidian scurried over, squirted in his ear, and nibbled on his hair.
Ruan Bai then remembered that the obsidian hadn't been fed today.
Seeing his friend leave in a hurry, King Yue Ze turned around and entered the workshop. Tang Yan and the others were like being beaten with chicken blood, almost sleepless cooking all kinds of things, and their eyes were red.
No one spoke, but they were a little impatient for the war that was about to begin. The war between the Great Zhou and the Huns was won and lost. But as the main battlefield, Da Zhou will suffer losses every time. This time, the Huns are here, so let's all stay! They thought viciously, but the movement of the bottles in their hands became more and more delicate, and it was not until everything was packed that they came to their senses, their throats were dry and painful, and they opened their mouths to say two words, and they could almost taste the sweet smell coming from their throats.
"Lord Wang, everything is ready."
King Yue Ze's body was also very tired, and he was relatively good compared to Tang Yan and the others, but his spirit was even more excited. While checking the number, he explained: "Very good, you guys should rest first." โ
Rest? Tang Yan's mind was completely wooden, and it took a while to react, rest is rest, and "rest" is not the next thing to make zuรฒ.
In the end, it was a civil official, as soon as his spirit relaxed, the whole person softened, and he didn't know how he was carried back to sleep in the post house.
When the princess came back at noon, she was startled by the snoring of Megatron, grabbed a post man and asked, "What's going on?" โ
The post guard told Tang Yan and the others about carrying them back, but they didn't know why several Beijing officials had become like this.
Seeing that she couldn't ask why, the princess asked again: "Little two...... What about Nguyen Bai? โ
Chu Hao's identity is not a secret in the small circle, and several post guards also know it. It's just that they usually see Chu Hao eating and living together, and even do some work to carry water and chop wood when they have time, even if they are sometimes a little strict, they don't have any fear.
But the identity of the princess is different, even if the princess is still dressed as a peasant woman at the moment, they don't dare to make a mistake, and sell their boss: "The lord said that he was going to visit friends, and he left early in the morning, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back tonight." By the way, I left you a letter. โ
The postman quickly handed the letter to the princess.
The princess opened it and saw that there was nothing else in it, just where all kinds of things were, and there was rock sugar white fungus wolfberry soup stewed in the small kitchen, so that she could come back and drink it. Three meals a day plus two snacks, everything you can can do. Others that are not easy to get are also prepared and put in the cupboard, just need to fry them in the pot.
The princess looked at the letter and found the same thing Ruan Bai said in the kitchen, and her heart was ironed: "Stinky boy." "It's not like no one has someone to do it for her. It is estimated that her maids will come over early tomorrow morning, but this kind of verbosity, almost like a child's instructions, makes people's hearts very warm.
Ruan Bai did go to visit a friend, took a cart of things, and returned to the bunker with King Yue Ze, followed by Xu Liu and Zhang Daniu.
Zhang Daniu came last time, although he was still amazed, but he was already able to do it without squinting. Xu Liuze was on guard, but his eyes could not hide his shock. He has always felt that he can be considered skillful, but what can he be compared to what he can be in front of? It's just a miracle! The thought that he could also participate in it made him feel a pang of excitement in his heart.
Ruan Bai didn't say a word and followed King Yue Ze. The group quickly made their way through the bunker, and after King Koshizawa fumbled for a mechanism, a stone wall was removed, revealing a dark hole in the ground behind. The cold wind blew in gusts, and the timid ones didn't dare to touch it.
King Koshizawa's timidity seems to be aimed only at people, and he is not afraid of this kind of place at all, but he happily lights the candle, puts it in the glass cover, and comments: "This is much brighter than a lantern made of gauze paper, but it sinks a little." โ
When Xu Liuyi heard this, he wanted to take it, but was let go by King Yue Ze: "Leave this little matter to this king, be careful with what you are carrying, in case it breaks, it's not a joke." โ
At the beginning, this section of the road was renovated by King Yue Ze, and it was very smooth: "At the beginning, I wanted to open up this place again, and there were several large stone chambers in the past......"
Ruan Bai followed, listened to King Yue Ze's explanation, and asked rhetorically: "But when you found out that you reached the grassland, you retracted it?" โ
King Yue Ze hehehe......he
However, his behavior last year undoubtedly offended the guards of Shunyang Pass completely, and he could no longer seek refuge, so he could only think of his own ideas. By mistake, he really found such a treasure. Although a place like a cave is certainly not suitable for long-term living, hiding for a month or two is not a big problem.
Even if it takes a long time, there is still living water in the cave, and they can still farm the land, which is enough for their family to live for a while. Well, I'm going to have to bring in some of my daily stuff when I come back this time.
Xu Liu and Zhang Daniu listened in the back, but their eyes widened. Even if they were from the auxiliary army, they knew what it meant to be able to directly bypass the enemy's sight.
The group soon arrived at the stone room that King Yue Ze said, and at a cursory glance, the place was not smaller than the bunker, but it was not regular, it looked strange and rocky, and under the light as small as a candle, the shadow was full of shadows and seemed to have a cool breeze, which looked particularly mad.
"I got the road here, and I probed the one in front of me. There are marks I marked on the stone wall, be sure to follow it, there are many places in it that I have not explored, it is very complicated, be careful not to get lost. He had tied such a long rope and had not made it to the end, and he doubted that the dry riverbed would lead all the way to the heart of the grassland, but he did not want to hide in such a terrible place.
"Okay! In the next few days, I will trouble Ah Qing, you will take care of it. Ruan Bai didn't have time to dwell on it, and beckoned Xu Liu and Zhang Daniu to unload their things.
King Yue Ze has been said to be useless since he was a child, and during this period of time, he was entrusted with important tasks by Ruan Bai one after another, and he was a little excited that he couldn't find the north, so he happily took over the task and left in a hurry. Isn't it just that thousands of people use the supplies for a few days, and his fiefdom is not short of food or medicinal materials at all.
Nguyen Bai and they stayed in the hole and started their work. Although the riverbed has sunk, there is no shortage of water in the cave. It's in that stone chamber. Leaving Zhang Da Niu to mix the water, Ruan Bai and Xu Liu went to explore the cave. Although there is a verbal explanation from King Yue Ze, he has to know the details first. If that doesn't work, he'll have to use a backup solution.
In fact, the original backup plan was the one he really intended to implement, but it was completely less secure and concealed than the natural tunnel in front of him.
The bunker is close to Gaotou Pass, and outside Gaotou Pass is the vast grassland. It's easy to say, but it took nearly four hours to walk, and it's still a one-way trip.
Ruan Bai came out from under a mound and let out a deep breath after observing that there was no situation around him.
Zhang Daniu followed out and asked, "Adult, villain go and explore the surroundings." โ
"Go ahead, watch out for yourself."
Zhang Daniu quickly disappeared into the tall grass.
Ruan Bai stuffed a few mouthfuls of pancakes into his mouth, and suddenly felt that he had returned to the time when he first came, and fled on the grassland with a group of Great Zhou slaves.
At first glance, the grassland looks like a flat river, but in fact there are many gently sloping slopes. The exit where he is now is one of them, which is conducive to concealment, but I don't know where it is, and I have to find a way to contact General Cao when I turn around...... They should have brought the third child, alas......
The situation in the tunnel was better than he expected. He only used it to transport grain and grass, and the ground was as smooth as possible, and some places were widened.
Zhang Daniu came back from a probe and was in good condition, so he stayed and observed the enemy situation at any time. There is a stone chamber that can barely accommodate people when it is time to leave the tea room away.
Ruan Bai patted Zhang Da Niu's shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work." "There are still too few people, maybe he should get some more from somewhere else.
Zhang Daniu's eyes turned red when Ruan Bai said this, and he choked up: "Take care, adult." โ
Ruan Bai was stunned and felt very inexplicable. He didn't say anything sensational, how could a man with five big and three rough feelings be so emotional? Besides, he just touched it back, the road is a little longer, but there is no danger, what to take care of?
Ruan Bai left some necessary supplies for Zhang Daniu, turned around and walked back.
Zhang Daniu watched the tiny firelight quickly be engulfed in darkness, sat on the ground, and gasped for breath. No one knows how much pressure these four hours have put on him.
The dark tunnels, with a cold and slippery texture on the floor and walls, make people have a very unhappy association; I don't know how far I have to walk to get to the exit, there are many forks in the road, all of them are eerie as if they will come out at any time. The sweat on his body soaked his clothes, and his body was quickly consumed, and if he wasn't alone, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to finish this journey at all.
Under the increasingly high-intensity training, Zhang Daniu has long been different. But looking at Ruan Bai's unhappy look, he knew the gap. This will not work, he is still far away.
Zhang Daniu gritted his teeth fiercely, and his eyes in the dark were as wide as the Bull Demon King.
Ruan Bai didn't feel anything special, he just walked. The time to go back was half an hour shorter than when I came.
For such a long time, Xu Liu has come a long way. Of course, he didn't do it alone, there were more than a dozen people, pushing wheelbarrows, busy back and forth. They weren't surprised to see Ruan Bai, they simply saluted and continued to work.
Xu Liu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took Ruan Bai to the stone chamber of the bunker to rest. It's only been a day, and the bunker is no longer bare, and a lot of things are ready.
Xu Liu said while bringing the prepared food: "These people are all the henchmen of the prince, you can rest assured." The prince arranged the follow-up things in the palace, and it would take two days to come. โ
"Hmm. You go back, bring the third child, and help me bring a letter to Chu Hao by the way. โ
Xu Liu hurriedly prepared a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and watched Ruan Bai write a letter quickly while eating.
Ruan Bai hadn't finished eating, and Xu Liu had already left. He pushed the plate open and lay down directly, and fell asleep after a while. He didn't know that there was someone who arrived at Shunyang Pass one step ahead of Xu Liu and found Chu Hao.
King Koshizawa sat in the general's mansion and looked very restrained. He looked up at Chu Hao, who was sitting below him, looking very aggrieved. God knows that he has already mustered up courage in the face of a Chu Hao, why did he just catch up with the honor guard of King Pingxi when he came?
In the small side hall, King Pingxi sat at the top, and King Yue Ze and Chu Hao sat at the bottom.
"Your Highness, there are no outsiders here, you can say anything." King Pingxi said it very politely, but he didn't have much patience in his words. Of course, it is not the most tense time of the battle now, but it does not mean that the time can be wasted now. Even if he had time, couldn't he accompany his wife to set up a stall to sell eggs? What's the deal with an outsider about the same age as his son?
King Yue Ze subconsciously shrank his shoulders, wrinkled his face and stammered, "That...... Bai is with me now. Well, I found a tunnel that Bai said was going to be used to transport grain...... Direct access to the grassland. The more he spoke, the softer his voice became, and his head gradually drooped, and he didn't notice that the eyes of King Pingxi's father and son were getting wider and wider, "I just want to ask, when Ah Bai transports the grain to the grassland, how can he give it to General Cao?" โ
I finally finished speaking, but I waited for a long time and didn't hear an answer. King Yue Ze cautiously raised his head and glanced at it, ho! When did these two fathers and sons get so close?! What do you want to do!
King Pingxi's father and son did not sit in their seats, but stood in front of King Yue Ze with blazing eyes. To say that they only came to entertain King Yue Ze out of courtesy before, now it is not the same at all.
A tunnel that leads directly to the grassland!
"Is that true?"
King Yue Ze shrunk his shoulders and stared at his eyes, quietly cheering for himself in his heart: For the sake of his good friend Ah Bai, don't be afraid!
"Seriously...... Abai: What are they digging? โ
Ha? "Just start digging now?" Then dig up to the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month?
"It's a whole thing, I have a potion, and it's very easy to turn stones."
Chu Hao suddenly asked, "Potion...... What happens to people? โ
"Huh? If you can't get it on people, you can't stop it with stones, how can people stand it? King Koshizawa emphasized, "It's dangerous! โ
Chu Hao asked again: "Is it difficult to match the potion?" โ
"Oh, that's not hard. However, I have taught Master Tang of the Ministry of Engineering several times, but he can't. King Yue Ze frowned slightly, a little puzzled, "Where are you going to dig the stone?" I can match it now, anyway, the materials are all in Abai's workshop. โ
King Yue Ze was arrested by the father and son of King Pingxi without resistance, and when King Pingxi passed by the princess's stall, he also grabbed a chicken.
The princess was furious: "I haven't paid the money yet!" โ
The big girl who changed her torn clothes and blackened her face behind the princess silently supported her forehead, how could the princess of her family ......
King Pingxi shook off his words from afar: "Give it in a while!" โ
In the workshop, Tang Yan's three people's faces turned white, looking at the potion mixed with so much water, and instantly made a chicken with no bones, and the initiator was still there innocently winking: "Look, I said that this is very dangerous, and it must not be used on people!" โ
King Pingxi couldn't help but grin and patted King Yue Ze on the shoulder: "Good guy, this king knows that none of your families are simple!" "While secretly talking to himself, this royal most useless prince, if he uses it well, one person can be worth thousands of troops, right?
