Fan Li took Zheng Dan out of the tent, came to the nearby hillside, pulled out an arrow dipped in oil and a rocket with a whistle on the body, lit it and shot it, the arrow lit up with a fire, and flew into the sky with a whistle.

The surroundings quieted down, and Zheng Dan quietly leaned beside Fan Li. She paid the price of death to have a brief reunion with Fan Li, and now she is going to separate again.

Fan Li was naturally reluctant to let Zheng Dan go, and he felt very ashamed of Zheng Dan in his heart. He knew Zheng Dan's feelings for him, and he knew that Zheng Dan had many grievances in his heart. But Zheng Dan didn't say it, she was afraid of causing Fan Li's uneasiness, so she hid those pains in her heart. This made Fan Li moved and sad.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance. After a while, a light carriage with a canopy stopped at the foot of the mountain.

Fan Li whistled, and a black shadow ran towards the mountain, which was Shu Chang, one of the three masters of the Chang family.

"See the General!"

"Brother, excuse me. Have you explored the way back to Gusu? ”

"Back to the general, my subordinates have already explored the road. There are five rivers from Gusu here, and the subordinates have already found the path to cross the river, but they have to go around more than ten miles, and they can be reached in the middle of the night. ”

Fan Li said: "Little sister, get in the car." ”

When he came to the carriage, Fan Li bent down and gently picked up Zheng Dan, put him on the car, and sat down under the canopy. Fan Li rode his war horse. Uncle Chang shook the reins, and the carriage moved forward.

The sky is full of stars. The moon has turned west. Walking out of the mountains, there is a plain in front of you, and the fields of crops after harvest are empty.

The surroundings are very quiet. It is sparsely populated, with only a few small villages scattered around. Although Wu has achieved many major victories in foreign wars in recent years, the wars have brought significant demographic attrition. Abandoned land can be seen everywhere.

In the depths of Fan Li's mind, the scene of his life in the afterlife came to mind. That year, he trained with the army, and the car walked in the area of Suxichang, where there were towering high-rise buildings, wide asphalt roads, endless flow of vehicles, and cobweb-like wires in the air, a prosperous scene.

This is the same place, but now it is such a desolate and primitive style.

The carriage stopped, and Shu Chang jumped out of the car. Fan Li returned to reality from his reverie and sigh: "Why did you stop?" ”

Uncle Chang said: "There is a dilapidated wooden bridge in front, for safety, please ask the girl to come down and walk over." ”

Fan Li dismounted, picked Zheng Dan off the car, supported her, and walked onto the rickety wooden bridge.

After crossing the river, Fan Li led his horse over, and Shu Chang also carefully drove the carriage over. Fan Li carried Zheng Dan into the carriage. And he moved forward again.

Nothing to say all the way. In the second half of the night, they had already arrived outside the city of Gusu.

Fan Li rode on his horse and shouted, "Is there anyone at the city gate?" ”

After shouting a few times, a soldier on the tower of the city answered, "Who are you?" What are you going to do? ”

Fan Li said: "I am the chief of the palace guard, Ruyi Bo Fan Li, I want to enter the city." ”

The soldier said, "Uncle, wait a minute, I'll open the door for the adults." ”

After a while, the city gate rang heavily, the two wooden gates slowly opened, Fan Li led the horse over, and the two soldiers said, "My lord, please come in." ”

Fan Li said: "The two of you work hard! "Each of them stuffed a silver horn. The two soldiers were pleasantly surprised, they had never seen such high-grade coins as gold and silver a few times a year, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, sir!" ”

Fan Li beckoned and said, "Come in." ”

Uncle Chang drove the carriage into the city gate with a "boom".

The two soldiers said suspiciously, "My lord, what is this?" ”

Fan Li gave each of them a silver horn: "Brother, do you know what it means to shut up?" ”

The soldier said, "Yes, yes!" Villains shouldn't be talkative. ”

The carriage entered Gusu City and walked on the empty streets, which was everyone's sleep, and the capital was sleeping. Uncle often said, "General, where are we going?" ”

Fan Li said, "Let's go directly to Dazaifu. You come with me. ”

Turning two streets, suddenly there was a human voice in front of me, who was shouting in the second half of the night?

As we got closer, we could hear one person screaming in pain, and several others screaming. Fan Li waved his hand, and the carriage stopped. He dismounted and said to his uncle, "You stay away here, and I'll go see what's going on." ”

He handed the reins to Shu Chang, and after walking a few dozen steps, he saw a light on in the door, and it was from there that the crying came from.

Fan Li hesitated, he didn't know what was going on here, he wasn't sure whether he should take care of this idle matter, and now Zheng Dan hadn't handed it over to Bo Yao, and if someone found out, he would be in trouble.

But the cry was so miserable that he couldn't help but walk forward.

This is a relatively large house, Fan Li pushed, the door opened, only to see that there was a workshop inside, dozens of blacksmith furnaces, the furnace fire was red, and a few soldiers were whipping a shirtless man. With each whip, the man let out a scream.

Fan Li shouted: "Stop! ”

A few soldiers looked back, and some people who knew Fan Li hurriedly saluted: "I've seen adults!" ”

Fan Li said: "What's the matter with you? The king couldn't sleep well. ”

This is a bit exaggerated, the palace of King Wu is far away from here, and no matter how much you shout here, you can't hear it in the palace. But these words show the identity of Fan Li's palace guards, and everyone who is a soldier knows that Fan Li is a celebrity next to King Wu, and whoever is charged with a crime can't eat and walk around.

Several soldiers looked at each other, not daring to admit or deny. Looking at each other, I don't know how to answer.

Fan Li pointed to the man tied to the pillar and said, "Why did you beat him? ”

"He's lazy."

"Put him down."

"Yes!"

The man was beaten badly, collapsed on the ground, and quickly kowtowed: "Thank you, Lord for saving me." ”

Fan Li said, "What's your name?" ”

"Untouchables Wu Ban."

"Why did they beat you?"

"Back to my lord, they told us to build weapons day and night, I didn't close my eyes for three days and three nights, I was so tired, I took a nap, and they beat me." Wu Ban trembled in pain. Said on his knees.

Fan Li knew that the hierarchy of people in this era was strict, the most advanced were those who studied and became officials, those who had no culture were secondary, and then those landlords and landlords who had land and property, and as for all kinds of craftsmen and businessmen, they were regarded as untouchables and had a very low status.

Fan Li picked up a big knife on the stage, and saw that the craftsmanship was very delicate and sharp, which showed the superb skills of the maker.

Fan Li said: "This is what you hit?" ”

Wu Ban said: "It is the villain who makes it. ”

The knife was made of steel, not bronze. At the base of the wall was a row of iron guys that had never been seen before. Fan Li said, "What is that?" ”

Wu Ban said: "It is an iron plough, which is used to plough the fields. ”

Fan Li squatted down, looked carefully for a while, and found that the iron plough was not only well-made, but also very cleverly designed. The efficiency of such agricultural tools can be increased many times over.

Fan Li's heart moved, thoughtfully, and said quietly on his face: "Your craftsmanship is very good." Is your craft the best in Wu? ”

Wu Ban said: "My master's skills are the best, but my master has passed away, and now the one who is better than my skills is my senior brother Gongsun Zhi." ”

This is truly a major discovery. Fan Li pondered for a while and said, "Okay, I know." He turned to a few soldiers and said, "Don't fight any more, the king who will make trouble won't sleep well, be careful with your head!" ”

The soldier hurriedly said, "Yes, yes!" ”
