Chapter Forty-Nine: The Mountain Rain is Coming
The sky changed last night, the temperature plummeted, and Shen Yanqing came to Yang Bo's residence early.
This is the first time she took the initiative to go out with Yang Bo, I don't know why, I was always a little excited, I got up early in the morning and rushed to the stone temple, Yang Bo, a lazy guy who hadn't gotten up yet.
Shen Yanqing knocked on the door, and after hearing Yang Bo's answer, she shouted: "It's cold outside, remember to put on a leather robe, I'll wait for you in the main hall." ”
Yang Bo heard that it was Shen Yanqing, so he quickly got out of bed, it was really a little cold, so he found the leather robe sent by Sister-in-law Liu and put it on smoothly.
Of course, there is also the revolver, Yang Bo has made a cowhide holster, the belt on the holster is buckled on the thigh, very firm, Yang Bo pressed six paper bullets, checked the gun safety again, carefully put the gun into the holster, there are thirteen paper bullets left, and all of them are bring.
Zhou Zheng and Gan Xin were already waiting outside the temple, each of them carrying five bird guns on their backs, and they had been replaced with new barrels, which were to be given to the members of the Fast Horse Team for trial.
Yang Bo and Shen Yanqing got out of the temple gate, and everyone set off for Meizhen.
Yang Bo looked up at the sky, the sky was gray, and the clouds were very low.
The West Mountain was shrouded in a fog, and Yang Bo looked towards the gap, and a ball of fire could be faintly seen, and a column of black smoke shot straight into the sky.
Ji Shun and his people are opening the mountain, and the mountain opening team lights a fire, scorching the stone wall, and then splashes cold water on the scorching stone wall, and the stone wall will collapse or produce cracks.
Several terraces have appeared on the hillside, like the terraces of the southern hilly terrain.
Yang Bo and others climbed up along the hillside, the front was crowded, the donkeys and mules neighed, some people were shouting and scolding, and the mountain opening team shouted the trumpet in unison, which could be described as earth-shaking and hot.
Shen Yanqing is also a person who has seen the world, and she is also shocked at this moment, and when she saw Ji Shun coming up, she asked, "Uncle Ji, how long will it take to open this gap?" ”
"Just these people, how can they take three or five years." Ji Shun first glanced at Yang Bo, and when he spoke, he exhaled hot air out of his mouth.
When Shen Yanqing heard this, she showed a disappointed look, glanced at Yang Bo, the beating firelight reflected on his face, the sword eyebrows were sharp, the bridge of the nose was high, and he had grown taller, the fox skin robe really fitted, it seemed that he was handsome and handsome, and he was a beautiful son.
People are as handsome as trouble, but I don't know how the sky is high and the earth is thick, see how you end up then? Shen Yanqing's mouth was upturned, and she muttered in her heart.
Yang Bo carried a burden on his back, standing with his hands in his hands, the steep stone wall in front of him, emitting a cold blue light, the strange rocks in the high places were craggy, lying like a beast hidden in the mist, standing like a huge giant, as if he could roar out in an instant, to devour the ant-like crowd under his feet, and crush it into powder.
The look on everyone's faces, Yang Bo also saw in his eyes, he was the initiator, and he couldn't help but ask himself, is it too aggressive?
Then I thought, I am from the country of infrastructure madness, even according to Ji Shun's estimate, the current manpower is only 200, if it is 2,000 people, 20,000 people, wouldn't it be able to flatten this gap soon?
Yang Bo wanted to go to the construction site to have a look, and everyone continued to move forward.
The construction site was mainly guarded by Luohan with dozens of soldiers from the Shen Mansion, and when he got closer, Yang Bo noticed that some soldiers were shouting with leather whips, and the migrant workers would be whipped if they were a little sluggish.
Yang Bo couldn't help frowning, he explained to Luo Han many times that he couldn't treat migrant workers harshly, and Luo Han didn't seem to listen.
Yang Bo asked people to call Luohan, Luohan is also hard, get up early to help him open the mountain, Yang Bo naturally will not blame.
"Brother Luo, it's hard work, now you only have two hundred people in your hands, if you give you five hundred, or even a thousand, can you still handle it?" Yang Bo asked.
Luo Han's eyes suddenly lit up, his figure was short, and he looked at Yang Bo with flattering eyes, "Don't worry, Childe, I'm here for Han Xin's soldiers, the more the merrier, if there are people, you just bring it, I will give it to the training, and promise to dig this mountain for Childe." ”
Ji Shun is an old driver, of course he knows that what Yang Bo wants to say is whipping people, but I don't know what he is thinking at this moment.
Yang Bo's gaze turned to Ji Shun, "Uncle Ji, you think this is good, divide these people into three teams, give them measurements, which team has a large amount of completion, you can reward some silver." ”
Ji Shun suddenly suddenly, substituting rewards for punishments? As long as you are willing to give out the silver, then what else is there to say, Ji Shun understood in seconds, laughed, and said: "Okay, there are rewards, everyone is rushing to work, and the whip in Luohan's hand can be whipped a few times." ”
Yang Bo and Shen Yanqing and the other four did not delay, turned over the gap, and arrived on the other side of the West Mountain, which was the boundary of Meizhen.
The road hangs halfway up the mountain, rugged and difficult, Yang Bo can see that Shen Yanqing is no stranger to this road, after all, this road leads to the Tibetan Soldier Cave, and the Hidden Soldier Cave is the secret of the Shen family.
Coming down from the hanging road, there is a valley, there is a small hill in front of it, Shen Yanqing looked at the hill steadily, her face showed a sad look, and her pace slowed down.
This made Yang Bo puzzled, and said strangely: "Qing'er, what's wrong?" ”
Shen Yanqing whispered: "Three years ago, also after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ji Sixian was killed by several mountain bandits here, Uncle Ji said that Sixian wanted to cross the West Mountain before his death, so he buried him here. ”
Yang Bo remembered that You Suqing said that Ji Sixian was killed by her, and Yang Bo always wanted to ask Shen Yanqing if she knew about it.
"Qing'er, little aunt You Suqing..."Yang Bo wanted to ask, but he was a little hesitant after all.
Shen Yanqing said bluntly: "I guess my little aunt asked her to do this, she and my father had a very strong quarrel at that time, and once said that if Ji Sixian dared to test the fame of the imperial court, he would be killed." ”
"Does Uncle Ji know?"
Yang Bo had to ask, because he was between Shen You and the two, and only this incident made him feel faintly uneasy, Ji Sixian was Ji Shun's only son.
Shen Yanqing nodded, and Yang Bo also learned that the person who was most opposed to Ji Sixian's fame at that time was Ji Shun, many of Ji Shun's brothers died at the hands of officers and soldiers, and their hatred for the court was not shared.
Shen Jizhi was the only one in favor.
Shen Yanqing and Ji Sixian grew up together since childhood, they can be described as childhood sweethearts, but unexpectedly, something happened, You Suqing did whatever it took to control the Shen family, and even matched Qin Shao for her, Qin Shao is good at Longyang, isn't this pushing Shen Yanqing into the fire pit? Little aunt, but it's a big trouble.
Shen Yanqing, the daughter of her twenties, does not leave her in men's clothes, she sails out to sea alone, she has a cold face all day long, her family affairs are full of twists and turns, her body and mind have been greatly hit, and her heart is dead, these years, she has been very difficult.
At this moment, the grievances in my heart suddenly came to my heart, how could I not be sad? Shen Yanqing's expression was very poignant, but her peerless face added a bit of coldness.
Beautiful people, even if they are sad, also make people feel sorry for me.
Yang Bo couldn't help but whisper: "Otherwise, you can go to Ji Sixian's grave and have a look, it's a matter of concern." ”
Shen Yanqing was stunned when she heard this, obviously she didn't expect Yang Bo to say this, a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Yang Bo directly, Yang Bo's eyes were clear, her expression was very sincere, she was moved in her heart, and said softly: "Well, I'll go and talk to Sixian, just say that I'm now.... There you have it.." The delicate and delicate cheeks were flushed, like blooming rose petals, delicate and lovely.
Shen Yanqing's steps were a little chaotic, Yang Bo followed behind him not far away, Shen Yanqing squatted down in front of the tomb, as if cleaning the weeds on the tomb with his hands, his lips moved slightly, as if he was saying something.
After a long while, Shen Yanqing stood up, turned around and walked towards Yang Bo, but the sorrow between her eyebrows was gone, and her expression was much more relaxed.
At this time, the clouds in the sky are lower, like it's going to rain, or is it snowing again?
Yang Bo said: "It may be raining, let's hurry up." ”
Shen Yanqing hummed softly, and the two of them hurried under their feet, catching up with Zhou Zheng and Gan Xin, who were walking in front, and everyone did not delay any longer, crossing the deserted Fu River and coming to the white house.
He Qifeng waited in the white house for a long time, and when he saw Yang Bo, he grabbed Yang Bo's arms and called his brother repeatedly, so excited that he couldn't do it.
"Hey, speaking of the wind, you're so big, standing there, like an iron stove, why are you like a little girl, can we hold back our hypocrisy?" Gan Xin watched from the sidelines and sneered.
"Brother Gan.." He Qifeng let Yang Bo go and came over to greet Gan Xin, but his hands were held by Gan Xin's iron tongs-like hands, and he immediately grinned and begged for mercy, "You are also my brother, and you are also my brother.."
Yang Bo asked, "The wind is blowing, what about Mr. Fu?" ”
Mr. Fu brought a message, saying that someone from the Haizhou government came to the court, and he was still a judge, called. Xie Wenzhi asked his brother to rush to Mei's house as soon as possible. He Qifeng slapped his head, and he almost forgot about it.
When Yang Bo heard this, he was shocked, someone from the Haizhou government was coming?
Zheng Shicong is the head catcher of the state capital, and his head is hung on the gate of the Mei Mansion, which is Mu Ying's handwriting, this is provoking the government, it should come, and it will come after all.
Xie Wenzhi is a judge, the second-in-command of the Haizhou Mansion, Mr. Fu told him earlier that the third hall master is a person in the government and has a high status, could it be this Xie Wenzhi?
Yang Bo looked around, everyone had not seen each other for many days, greeting each other, the atmosphere was quite warm, Mr. Fu had arranged a proper manpower to be stationed in the white house, the hidden soldier cave behind the house, there were just a lot of weapons in it, and silver, it is said that there is also the secret room of the chief of the horse, Yang Bo has not had time to check, and he will talk about it on the return trip.
Gan Xin came to receive craftsmen, there were dozens of people, Yang Bo briefly met with craftsmen, all walks of life, and even made embroidery needles, Yang Bo did not have much time to talk, so he could only entrust Gan Xin to deal with it.
Zhou Zhengze wanted to rush back to the stone temple, Leshui and Shen Yiming were in the stone temple, and they couldn't do it without personal protection.
Yang Bo instructed He Qifeng to let people take the ten bird guns, and try to get as many gunpowder projectiles as possible, the gun is for training, and the projectiles and gunpowder should be sufficient.
Yang Bo turned over and got on the horse, everyone was ready, and they were about to whip the horse, but they saw Shen Yanqing leaning forward slightly, snorting, and a big green horse in his crotch, with four hooves flying, like a gust of wind, ran in front of Yang Bo.
Obviously, Shen Yanqing is also proficient in equestrianism, and her posture is quite graceful, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is heroic.
Yang Bo hurriedly shouted, and everyone followed, the sound of horses' hooves was like a burst, but scattered raindrops really fell in the valley.
