This village is surrounded by a wall that is three zhang high, and the walls are all made of the whole bluestone, the bluestone is about zhang long, seven feet wide, and the thickness is Xu, and the pieces are tightly seamed together. With such a solid defense, no siege equipment can break through, but I don't know how this huge bluestone is built layer by layer? Not to mention the manpower in this small village, even the capital of the Great Han Dynasty did not have such manpower to build this kind of defense. There are several openings in the wall, which are portals, from which people can enter and exit.

Looking at Wei Qing's surprised and admiring expression, Pang Tong laughed: "General Wei, I didn't build this city." When I found this place, I found this city, and I don't know who built it. ”

"Zai Xia is just a centurion, and Mr. Pang doesn't have to falsely call Zai Xia a general." Wei Qing replied, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, the wisdom of the ancients was really unexpected. But before he finished his emotion, he fought a cold war again: no matter who built it, with this wall, how could General Liu save himself and his subordinates? He couldn't help but feel worried.

Pang Tong didn't say anything more, but let Wei Qing into the city.

As soon as he entered the door, Wei Qing was taken aback again. I saw that the rows of houses in this wall are scattered and the layout is very neat, and what is especially surprising is that most of the houses here are five-storey!

There is a Han generation, although there are many high-ranking officials and nobles who live in the building, but it is only a two-story building, and some towers can have three floors, but the five-story building is unheard of and unseen.

"The ancients who designed this building are really gods!" Wei Qing completely forgot about his worries just now for a while, and couldn't help blurting out praise.

Pang Tong said with a smile: "Centurion Wei is wrong again, these buildings are designed by the people, and every household has the money to contribute and make a strong contribution to build this village." ”

Wei Qing opened his mouth wide in shock. Although he knew that there was a strange person standing in front of him, such a magical talent was really beyond the limit of his imagination.

"Mr. Pang, what are you doing to build such a magical village in such a secret place?" Wei Qing asked.

Pang Tong sighed: "I've always wanted to find an opportunity to explain this problem to you, thank God, you finally asked, much better than those of your subordinates." ”

Wei Qing then understood why his subordinates were locked up, he really can't blame the villagers for this, think about it, hasn't he been doing things against Pang Tong all the time? If it weren't for Pang Tong's magical mechanism to catch him, he might still be fighting with Pang Tong now, how could he listen to Pang Tong's explanation?

"I want to hear about it." Wei Qing replied decisively.

Pang Tongyi slowly told a strange story while letting Wei Qing go to his house.

Thirty years ago, the Pang family was still a carpenter's family that made a living by making furniture for the rich.

Pang Tong's father didn't want his son to make furniture for others all his life like him, save money for Pang Tong to study, and wanted him to seek fame. However, I don't know whether it is genetic reasons or environmental reasons, Pang Tong has no interest in books for fame, but miscellaneous books, what celestial phenomena, divination, mathematics, organs and the like are very interested, and they can understand it at a glance, learn it as soon as they learn, and even draw inferences from one another, without a teacher, especially for the design of various exquisite organs, there are many self-created, and the design of the ancients is often very poor compared with what he created.

When Pang Tong was fifteen years old, his father became ill and couldn't afford to get sick, and the young Pang Tong supported the family business. A few years later, Pang Tong discovered that the Jin people had the intention of going south, and the imperial court was neither aware nor resistant, so he decided to find a place to hide from the scourge of war in advance.

"Mr. Pang," Wei Qing has been listening silently, hearing the Pang family from the road, and now he is sitting in the living room of the Pang family, hearing this, Wei Qing couldn't help it anymore, and couldn't help interrupting Pang Tong: "Mr. is only about forty this year, right?" How did you know twenty years ago that the Jin people had the heart to go south, and the court had no power to resist? ”

Pang Tong smiled slightly: "When a leaf falls, you know that the world is autumn, why do you have to understand it until the end?" The Jin people have always lived in the northern desert, and the exquisite wooden tools of the Han people are of little use to them, but when I was twenty years old, the high-ranking officials and nobles of the Jin people have been very popular to use the wooden tools of the Han people. What's more, the Jin people live by nomadic herding, living in pursuit of water and grass, and these furniture are moved around, and there are three or five times that they are loosened and cracked. Since Jin people are popular with these furniture, how can they not have thoughts about our flower world? What's more, the various ministries of the Jin people have always done their own thing, independent of each other, but they also unified the ministries thirty years ago, this person has always been ambitious, and when I was twenty years old, I have been the emperor of the Jin State for ten years, and there is no threat to the Jin people within the Jin people, and they will naturally have the intention of violating my Han. ”

"Then how do you know that the imperial court is powerless to resist?" Although Wei Qing accepted Pang Tong's explanation of the judgment of the Jin people, he was quite dissatisfied with Pang Tong's statement that the imperial court was powerless to resist, in fact, he also understood that the facts had proved that the imperial court was indeed powerless to resist, and this time if it was not for the Jin army and the Frans to start a war, it was a question of how long the Han people could sit in the Han Dynasty. But as an officer of the Han Army, hearing others say this about the imperial court, I can't help but still have grievances in my heart.

Pang Tong didn't answer this time, just looked at Wei Qing quietly.

Wei Qing finally lowered his head under Pang Tong's forced gaze.

He had to admit that there was no need for any evidence in this matter, and everyone knew that it was inevitable.

What is the ability of a country where officials are corrupt and ruthless and the people are struggling to make a living? Does such a thing need to be specifically proven?

"So you led the villagers here and built such a shelter?" Wei Qing didn't want to continue discussing the topic just now, although the topic was brought up by himself, so he changed the topic.

"That's what it is." Pang Tong said, "It's just that there have been many hardships in it, and this place was discovered by accident, but it took us ten years before and after we built this place, and some of them didn't believe that the Jin people would invade and kept leaving. ”

Wei Qing now roughly understands. I don't know which generation of gods built the foundation of this village first, such as the amazing city wall, and then Pang Tong accidentally discovered this place, so he led the people to build a place to hide from the scourge of war. Since this place was built to escape the scourge of war, it was naturally designed to be very secretive, and the rule that the young man named Xiaobao said "if you don't settle here, you will die" is precisely to prevent this place from being discovered.

Thinking of this, Wei Qing was relieved, and immediately stood up and gave Pang Tong a deep look: "Wei only now knows Mr. Pang's hardships, and he has been offended." It's just that since Xia Guan took his men to survey the path, he couldn't help but return with his subordinates, and asked Mr. Pang to release a few of my subordinates, and Wei was grateful. ”

Pang Tong nodded and said: "This is natural, we are all some kind people, where can we really kill people?" What's more, you are all my Han soldiers, and everything you do is to resist the Jin army, so we naturally won't embarrass you. After that, he raised his voice and asked Xiaobao to give an order and let those people go.

Wei Qing was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that this time it was finally a thrill, and he thanked him at the moment.

Pang Tong didn't care about Wei Qing's thanks, but was very interested in Wei Qing's coming, and he didn't know why Wei Qing wanted to investigate the path here, so he asked at the moment. Wei Qing just replied a few words, and his heart suddenly moved.

Since Pang Tong has lived here for no less than ten years, if you add the time of construction here for twenty years, he must be very familiar with this area, this person saw the intentions of the Jin army twenty years ago, it can be said that he knows the subtleties, such a talent, coupled with his magical ability to manufacture organs, all this is very useful to the Han army. He couldn't help but secretly make up his mind in his heart, wanting to persuade Pang Tong to join the army. It's just that since Pang Tong is here to avoid trouble, how can he easily go out of the mountain? Wei Qing's mind was racing around, planning to think of a good way.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and as soon as the door opened, Liu Qi took the lead, and eight soldiers walked into the house.

When Liu Qiyi saw Wei Qing, he was overjoyed and shouted, "Centurion Wei, we 。。。。。。 ”

Wei Qing waved his hand, stopped Liu Qi, and said to him: "You go down and rest for a while, here are all ordinary people of my Han Dynasty, don't mess up harassment." I have something to say to Mr. Pang. Liu Qiyi was stunned, and when he saw Wei Qing's solemn expression, he had no choice but to swallow a thousand words in his stomach and lead a few brothers down.

Pang Tong looked at Wei Qing, and a suspicious look suddenly appeared on his face: "Captain Wei, since you have released your subordinates, you should return to the army as soon as possible, not to drive you away, but since you have a military order, why don't you rush to return, but still sit here?" Pang was puzzled. ”

Wei Qing secretly applauded in his heart, Pang Tong was really a shrewd person, with a keen mind, and he was extraordinary.

He replied with a smile: "It's not that I'm not in a hurry to go back, it's just that I'm embarrassed by something and can't go back." ”

Pang Tong's two thick eyebrows raised: "Why is it so difficult?" ”

Wei Qing sighed: "Mr. Cheng Pang has a good intention to let us go, but Wei can control his own mouth, but he can't control the mouth of his subordinates, there are as many as ten people under the lower officials, and there are eight people here, when they return to the army, it is inevitable to talk about the strange things here, once the secrets of your place are revealed, I am afraid that it will be difficult for your village to live in seclusion, and I am afraid that I will live up to your good intentions, so I am embarrassed." ”

Pang Tong stayed. He hadn't really given it much thought. Since it was the Han army that came, of course they couldn't really kill these people, so they had to let them go, but they didn't expect Wei Qing to actually raise such a difficult question, and they were silent for a while.
