Maicheng was also shrouded in rain clouds, and Tian Xin temporarily lived in the annex on the bank of the Zhangshui River outside the city.

The annex faces Zhangshui, the back is surrounded by 20 acres of orange groves, only a fence surrounds, the courtyard is spacious, there is a wooden longhouse, a stable, two rows of enclosures, the backyard is a vegetable garden, and there are thatched toilets in the corners.

When Li Yan and Chen Zhen crossed the Zhangshui wooden bridge, they could see the military camp in the distance, and when they passed the military camp, they saw the military officials feeding the horses and checking the horses' hooves in the stables outside the camp.

Horses are naturally not afraid of rain and snow when grazing, but the rain in the south is continuous, which is not very friendly to cattle, horses and sheep.

Bypassing the barracks and orange groves, and coming to the annex, you can see that there is a wooden pavilion in front of the hall, and there are soldiers on duty in the pavilion. ”

"Haha, it's all right, what's wrong with the prince?"

"The prince is recovering from his injuries, and His Majesty only sent a few servants to offer condolences yesterday."

Here Li Yan and Chen Zhen dismounted, all wearing hats and robes, and caught the umbrella handed by Yu Zhong, which is an umbrella that the skeleton is round and cannot be closed, and the inside and outside are framed and wrapped in a layer of silk, and the outer layer is also coated with a layer of paint, so it feels a little heavy.

The road from the wooden pavilion to the Tashin annex is paved with blue bricks, and there are drainage canals on both sides of the road, so the road is very clean after the rain.

"Huh?"

Li Yan's military sense was keen, and he couldn't help frowning and pondering as he watched the light rain soak the blue-black neat blue brick path.

There is no technical difficulty in firing green bricks, it is nothing more than the skill of firing tiles.

There are no technical barriers to firing, the only problem is manpower.

In troubled times, there are three things that manpower should do most: farming, reproduction, and war. Firing green bricks, no matter how you look at it, there is a bit of a taste of unprofessionalism.

Li Yan was puzzled and asked directly: "Shifang, there is a surplus of labor in Maicheng?" ”

"I don't know."

Yu Zhong followed Li Yan's gaze and glanced at the green brick path on the ground, and said with a smile: "These green bricks are fired by Jingman settlements, and Her Royal Highness the prince and princess sent people to make looms. When the princess sent people to build the orange grove pavilion here, the people of Maicheng carried many bricks and tiles to help here. ”

He stretched out his arms and pointed to the outline of the military camp two miles away: "I heard that at that time, bricks and tiles were piled up, and most of them were used to build barracks. ”

Li Yan nodded slowly with a yearning look on his face, stretched out his arms to introduce Chen Zhen, and after Chen Zhen and Yu Zhong saw each other, he asked: "I don't understand, why build an annex next to the barracks?" ”

Yu Zhong replied with a smile: "Mr. Xiaoqi doesn't know, my prince likes to listen to the shouts of the battalion sergeant Wu Caoxun, and he also likes to listen to the sound of horns and drums. Her Royal Highness the Princess felt this, so she built the annex on the riverside, in the forest, and between the barracks. ”

Could it be that Her Royal Highness also likes to fight?

Li Yan and Chen Zhen had their own thoughts, and came to the Orange Grove Pavilion with Yu Zhong.

Beans crawl all over the fence, and in one stable are the famous dragon foals Mondo and the White Rabbit, and on the other side there seem to be many big cats in the enclosure.

Li Yan looked a few more times when he walked, and only then did he see that there were knee-high tigers inside, there were fourteen or fifteen of them, except for the three moving tigers who pounced and chased each other, the rest were sleeping in the enclosure.

The long house is four rooms wide and twelve rooms long, with small compartments on both sides of the house, and many craftsmen are carving wooden boards, and Li Yan and Chen Zhen step on the warm wooden floor and walk inside.

Inside, Tian Xin was making a set of umbrella bones, and the umbrella bones that could be retracted were repeatedly opened and closed, and then handed it to Li Heng beside him: "You can mount it, make more, and don't affect the ordinary silk umbrella." ”

"Yes."

Li Heng left with the umbrella bone in both hands, Tian Xin got up and shook the sawdust on his body, and stepped forward to pick up Li Yan, who wanted to salute: "Li Fujun Mo Duo courtesy, Mr. Xiaoqi's demeanor is better than that day!" ”

"There is Lao Junhou concerned, and the servant just congratulates the prince and marquis on breaking the enemy captives and shaking the world."

Chen Zhen gave a gift, and there was a relationship during the battle of Xiangfan, when Chen Zhen was ordered to search for the traces of the immortal Li Yi, plus Tian Xin's four dragon diagrams, it was only a one-sided relationship, and he didn't care much about it.

"It's just that the soldiers are working together, it's not my work alone, so I don't need to praise it anymore."

Tian Xin, dressed in plain fine linen short clothes, took out a fine silk folding fan from his waist and handed it to Li Yan and said: "Leading the army to kill is just to survive, what I love in my life is cultivation and creation, not killing." Li Fujun, I do this in my free time, I hope you don't dislike it. ”

Li Yan gently wiped the folding fan, saw the two naïve little fat tigers biting on the fan, and looked at it carefully: "How dare you, I just sighed at the time, but I didn't want the prince to remember it in my heart." Strict...... It's a real joy. ”

At this time, Yu Zhong also took a folding fan, Tian Xin took both hands and handed it to Chen Zhen: "Recently, it is not good to practice martial arts when I am recuperated, so I will do more in my spare time, and I hope to be able to meet Mr. Chen's wishes." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's not easy for the folding fan made by the prince, but the servant is a little embarrassed and greedy."

Chen Zhen was also excited and opened the folding fan, and it could be seen that the fan was green pine, red sun, auspicious clouds and a pair of cranes fluttering their wings and flying, and he was very happy.

Tian Xin led the two to the tea room at the end of the longhouse, where doors and windows led to the backyard and plenty of light.

Yu Zhong cooked hot water, and Tian Xin carefully tasted the gifts brought by Li Yan and Chen Zhen, and they were all weapons.

Li Yan presented a pair of swords, Tian Xin solemnly observed, the style of the two swords is exactly the same as the white rainbow sword and the meteor sword, the sword inscription is purple electricity, Qingying, and it is also the second of Sun Quan's six swords.

Tian Xin put the sword into the sheath and frowned: "It's strange, since the White Rainbow Sword became famous in his hands, Sun Quan regarded the remaining swords as rare treasures, how could they end up on the battlefield?" ”

"The prince didn't know that Sun Quan was testing the swords, and the hundred-mile sword of the six swords had been broken. Sun Quan gave the two swords of Zidian and Qingming to Zhu Ran and Han Dang, which were obtained by our army after the war. This physics should belong to the prince, and His Majesty will keep it strictly so that it can be sent to the prince. ”

Sun Quan has the famous six-mouth sword, a sword to chop the table or something, like chopping melons and vegetables, even a stone can be split with a sword.

Now that the White Rainbow Sword, the Qingying Sword, and the Purple Electric Sword are in his hands, the Meteor Sword is in Ma Chao's hands, and the Baili Sword is broken, what Sun Quan is wearing with him now should be...... A sword to ward off evil spirits?

The six-mouth sword is actually three pairs of swords.

Tian Xin got up and came to the weapon rack, and took out two swords of seventy-two refining army swords from the copper sword box, and now the quality enhancement is a rare sword, and he sent the purple electricity and the two swords of Qingying into the copper sword box.

The two war swords were loaded into the scabbards brought by Li Yan and stood by the wall at random, causing Li Yan to take a few more looks.

Then Tian Xin took out the sword offered by Chen Zhen, and as soon as the sword came out of the sheath, it could be seen that the craftsmanship was outstanding, and it was definitely from the hands of a famous artist.

Seeing that Tian Xin's face was different, Chen Zhen chuckled proudly: "Junhou, one of the four Zhongxing swords made by this Spirit Emperor in the past. There are people dedicated to the prime minister, and the prime minister is difficult to distinguish between true and false, so it is given to the prince. ”

"Zhongxing Sword, how can I afford it?"

Tian Xingui's sword was put into the sheath with a crisp sound, and he held it in both hands and handed it back to Chen Zhen: "Only the prime minister and the general can wear this sword, and I need to carve it if I am not enough." ”

"The prince is too modest, and the prime minister instructed in detail, saying that only the prince and the prince in the world can bear this sword."

Chen Zhen looked solemn, took out the silk book from his sleeve and handed it over: "This prime minister's handwritten book." ”

Tian Xin handed the Zhongxing sword to Yu Zhong, and caught Zhuge Liang's handwriting, the style of writing was simple, and punctuation marks were also used, and some words were written in Tian Xin's pleasing simplified characters: "Qing is employed by doctors, is sensitive to military affairs, and deeply understands the will of soldiers; Loyal and diligent in current affairs, thinking precisely, Yongnan and Ji Chang are not as good as others, and they are really Sergeant Guan Long. Those who can bear ZTE must be Qing. ”

Tian Xin blinked, this is to recognize his status and set himself up as the next round of auxiliary political leaders?

Yongnan is Li Shao, I heard that he is a virtuous, gentle, and talented young man from Yizhou who is not under Ma Liang.

But can his age suppress Ma Liang, Jiang Wan, and Huang Quan?

That's right, if Guan Yu is in charge of the military by himself, Zhuge Liang will live and recuperate, and he may be able to live to eighty-eight.

At this time, Chen Zhen took out another scroll of silk and said: "The prime minister values the prince and the marquis, and wants to ask the prince to concurrently serve as the prime minister's Sima." ”

Tian Xin took a deep breath and thought about it for a while: "This matter is quite big, how many days can I think about it?" ”

Chen Zhen was slightly stunned, and Li Yan was also surprised, did he really want to be the Sima of the Prime Minister's Mansion?

But that's right, there must be a bridge between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion, and if Tian Xin doesn't make this bridge, he has to find another person to do the bridge.
