Chapter 44: Princess Pingyang

Liu Wu gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Wen is arrogant, Liu Wu admires!" Let's go, brothers, hurry up and pull the car, let's go back to the village to celebrate! ”

Literature and art followed them happily to the village, where their stockade was on a small hill, five miles away. I heard Liu Wu say that there is only one way in and out of this black pine forest, which is this trade route connecting Shanxi and Hebei. At present, there are 16 well-known cottages in the forest, most of which are poor villages that do not kill people as long as they have money, and only the two new ones have recently robbed money and killed people. I heard that their family was once a subordinate of Zhu Cang, who fled here after the Battle of Chang'an, and another family was once a subordinate of Liu Wuzhou. They also often went to other stockades to loot food and women. It's just that there are a large number of them, and they are all retired from the army, and they are extremely fierce. They can't do anything about them.

Wenyi nodded and said to Wen Erba: "Big brother, it's better for you and the second brother to go to the event tonight to move your muscles and bones, so that the two villages will disappear." ”

Liu Wu stopped: "Didn't you let the two eldest brothers go to death?" You know no, those two stockades are at least fifteen hundred! They are all veterans of the battlefield! Brother Wen, what can the two of them do? ”

Wen Erba said with a smile: "Brother Liu looks down on people, isn't it, just those defeated generals and my brothers will be cleaned up overnight, I don't believe you will take us tonight to open your eyes." ”

Liu Wu rubbed his head awkwardly and said, "Don't mind, two big brothers, brother, am I not worried about you?" In this case, I will take fifty brothers with you tonight, and if you can't do anything, don't force the two eldest brothers."

Wen Erba put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Brother Liu, you can put one hundred and twenty lines, my three brothers killed countless enemies in the Battle of Chang'an back then, and the 300,000 allied troops they fought fell into thin water!" Don't look at my third brother's youth, he was also a good man in and out of the coalition army at that time! Not to mention our two brothers. ”

Liu Wu was dazed, and with his small brain capacity, he always felt that this thing was unreliable. But he is also an honest person, and he can't bear to expose Wen Erba's lies, why my third brother slashed down Dou Jiande's command platform with one sword; What I wiped out hundreds of enemies with a swing of the knife ...

Liu Wu was dazed and took them to the stockade. Literature and art were taken aback by the scene in front of them, and the imaginary cottage should be a rough wooden wall, a minions with knives, fat sheep, fat pigs and countless wine jars slaughtered all over the ground.

As a result, literature and art only saw countless women and young children, all with yellow muscles and thin faces, fluffy hair, and dirt. Some are drying wild vegetables, some are drying thatch, and some are smashing wild fruits. It's sad to watch. Wenyi turned his head and asked Liu Wu: "This is your village?" ”

Liu Wu seemed to understand what literature and art wanted to ask, so he said: "Yes, after years of war, the men in Hebei are dying, these women can't support their families, and they are often harassed by bandits and deserters at home, so they fled here, I grew up in the village, there were only dozens of people in the village when I was a child, and they all came after I took over the village." I couldn't bear to see them sin, so I took them in. As a result, there are still people who freeze to death and starve to death. After speaking, he sighed helplessly.

Literature and art are speechless, he originally wanted to integrate these bandits who cut the path, at first it was just to satisfy his game mentality, but now he really wants to help them. Looking at these unclothed women and hungry children, my heart was sour.

The pleasure of letting Liu Wu send the cotton cloth to everyone did not appear, and some only regretted why they didn't come here earlier, otherwise there would be no more people who froze to death this year.

That night, Wen Erba and Wen Sanwu put on their holy clothes, took titanium alloy swords, and under the leadership of Liu Wu, they took advantage of the darkness to touch the outside of a village.

Wen Erba was afraid that Liu Wu would want to borrow their hands to go out to the opponent, so he deliberately approached to investigate. It was found that the remnants of this Zhu Cang were indeed all extremely vicious, drinking wine and eating meat in the village, ravaging the women for fun.

Wen Erba told Liu Wu to wait here, not to come forward, their brothers will come when they go. After saying that, he and Wen Sanwu jumped out of the five zhang, bluffing Liu Wu in fear. Wen Erba and Wen Sanwu entered from the main gate so brightly, but they were all killed when they met men.

There was chaos in the village, and it was useless for the leader to organize people to defend with all their might. Wen Erba's "Hope Holy Clothes" they wore were all from the hands of literature and art, although the main thing was to make them have an addiction to flying, but the attribute of exoskeleton help still exists. The titanium alloy long sword is even more sharpened like clay, indestructible, and the weapons used by those minions are made of mortal iron, how can they resist the edge of the long sword?

All the mountain bandits who approached Wen 28 and Wen 35 all broke their bones and tendons, and their corpses were separated. In less than two hours, there were no bandits in the stockade who could stand up. Wen Erba asked Liu Wu to arrange for people to come over to mend the knives that were not dead, and then collected the captive women, and carried the grain in the village back to the village. And they took a short break and then went to another cottage.

Overnight, the two great cottages in the black pine forest were wiped out, leaving only two burned ruins.

A lot of food and money were collected from these two villages, and Wenyi asked Liu Wu to send all the food down, keep the money first, and use it later. Seeing those women happily queuing up to receive food, Wenyi finally showed some smiles. He found Liu Wu and asked, "Brother Liu, have you ever thought about how you plan to live in the future?" This inexpensive business alone is not enough to support so many people. I'm familiar with His Royal Highness King Qin, why don't you let him arrange a foothold for you near Chang'an? ”

Liu Wu thought for a while and said, "Brother Wen doesn't know, I have one hundred and sixty brothers, one thousand eight hundred women in the village, and more than four hundred children under the age of ten. Even if they went to Chang'an, there were only 16 men who had the ability to farm, and they couldn't support these nearly 2,500 people, so it was better to let them pick some wild vegetables in the forest. ”

Wenyi said: "Since Brother Liu is unwilling to leave, Little Brother has an idea, let alone feed these 2,000 people, no matter how many a few thousand, I wonder if Brother Liu is willing to give it a try?" ”

Liu Wu immediately said excitedly: "Little Brother Wen, you are really my good brother!" Tell me, what's the solution? As long as they can eat a full meal, Lao Tzu will never say anything about going up the knife mountain and going down to the sea of fire! ”

Wenyi smiled and said, "Then Brother Liu, you have to listen to me completely, everything is arranged by me, and you are only responsible for doing things." Can you do it? ”

Liu Wu pointed to the sky and swore an oath: "I, Liu Wu, will only be the little brother in the future, if I violate it, I will be thundered by the sky, and I will not die!" ”

Wenyi nodded and said: "That is the case, Brother Liu, our first step is to rectify the black pine forest, strive to unify all the villages in the black pine forest as soon as possible, and then gather all the people together. ”

Liu Wu thought for a long time and said: "The black pine forest is so big, it is not something that can be completed in a moment if you want to gather all the people together. I estimate it will take about a year to get it done. ”

Wenyi thought for a while and said: "No problem, I will let people come over to help you, I still have some urgent matters that I can't stay here for a long time, from now on, I will let people send the food in the village on time, you just need to do your best to unify the black pine forest." If you have any questions, just tell the person I sent and he will contact me. ”

The two discussed the specific details, and Wen Yi and Wen Erba continued on their way. It is now the beginning of March, Princess Pingyang does not know when she will die, and it is estimated that Wenyi should have died on the battlefield when Jieli attacked the Central Plains. Now that the heavy snow in the north has melted, it should be the time for Jieli to move south after the grassland recovers.

They don't have much time, and the three of them no longer travel all the way, do chivalrous deeds, and go to Niangziguan all the way. (Well, the fastest speed of the ox cart is 7 kilometers per hour)

Finally came to Niangzi Pass on March 15. When I arrived at Niangzi Pass, I felt that the atmosphere of war preparedness was strong, the people were in a hurry on the road, and most of the merchants were closed. Bands of soldiers in helmets and armor patrolled the streets.

They drove to Princess Pingyang's mansion and handed over the post of King Qin to the porter to report it. After a while, a heroic female officer walked out of it, dressed in a black military uniform, which set off her figure to the fullest, and Wen Erba drooled all over the place.

Wenyi saluted very politely and said: "Boy Wenyi, good at making armor and weapons, King Feng Qin came to help the princess make armor." ”

The female official did not salute as a woman, but clasped her fists and said: "The deputy general under the command of Princess Pingyang of Xiaguan is a sharp sword, and on the order of the princess, I invite the three of you to the living room to talk." ”

Wenyi nodded, patted Wen Erba's dog head hard, and followed the sword to the living room.

Princess Pingyang, dressed in men's clothing, was sitting on the main seat of the living room drinking tea. Seeing that the three of Wenyi came in, they saluted each other and sat down separately, Wen Erba and Wen Sanwu stood behind Wenyi very dutifully.

Wenyi spoke first: "Your Royal Highness the princess, the king of Qin knows that the war here is about to break out, and he is afraid that His Royal Highness will have an accident, so he asked the kid to tailor a new set of armor for the princess." ”

Princess Pingyang put down the teacup and said, "I already have armor, which is forged by craftsmen in the palace from hundred-folded steel, which can prevent swords. There is no need to reinvent the wheel. ”

Wenyi shook his head and said, "Your Highness doesn't know what kind of armor I want to make, I wonder if the kid can demonstrate it for His Highness here?" ”

Princess Pingyang was a little curious, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Wenyi took his suitcase from Wen Erba's hand and put it in the center of the living room, and saluted Princess Pingyang and said, "The kid took the liberty of asking His Highness to let the servants and maids go down first, this is a secret and cannot be known to outsiders for the time being." ”

Princess Pingyang glanced at Wenyi, then nodded around, and the maids saluted out of the living room. Only the sword remained. Wenyi looked at the sword, and Princess Pingyang said: "She is my confidant, it's okay." ”

Wenyi nodded, and pressed a button above the suitcase. Two armguards pop out on both sides of the suitcase, and two leggings pop out underneath. Wenyi stepped into the leggings, put his hand into the armguard, and lifted it up hard, and the entire suitcase was immediately attached to Wenyi's body, and after a regular mechanical sound, Wenyi had been transformed. The perfect combination of red and gold, the head-to-toe all-metal protection exudes a psychedelic aesthetic.
