Volume 2 The Storm Between the Rivers Chapter 224 The Horn of the Fortress
Chi Qiu saw Xie Changgao and Shen Liang enter the courtyard, still hiding behind the tree and not moving, sure enough, soon after, the courtyard door opened again, and Shen Liang stood at the door to take a look before closing the gate again.
So cautious, this made Chi Qiu curious, and walked around this dilapidated courtyard, only to find that this courtyard was actually built against the inner city wall, which was equivalent to the courtyard wall on one side.
Why is Xie Changgao here?
Whose yard is this? Looking at the modeling, this mansion is also two hundred years old, and it is estimated that it was built with Yanhu City?
That's not right...... In the past, the city wall of Yanhu City was on this floor, and it was unreasonable to dare to build a house on the side of the city wall. In the event of a war, the houses along the city walls will inevitably be demolished, and whoever takes such a big risk to build a house here will not be fed up and supported.
Perhaps the walls of the former Ear City were relatively tall and could be defended independently.
These should be historical problems, Chi Qiu has always been very interested in the study of the castle, the Central Plains region is a flat river, the land of the four wars, the princes of the river can stand here for hundreds of years, and still will not fall down with a push, that is, the construction of the castle is extremely strict, the design is beyond imagination, most of them are built next to the only mountain rock, some flat castles, but also built dozens of meters of foundation, even if there is a large trebuchet, it may not be able to hit the real city wall.
It is normal to forcibly storm a fortress and kill and wound tens of thousands of people.
It is said that Suoxia City was built on the cliff, and there was even a waterfall in the city, which was beautiful, if it were not for the internal fire, some people said that even if the Song army and the Prussian army joined forces at that time, they might not be able to attack it.
Chi Qiu went around in a big circle outside, the outer wall of this family's house is arc-shaped, and a large piece was wrapped, but the wall of the green tiles inside was undulating like a wave, Chi Qiu tried to find a few big trees outside the courtyard and looked at them, but he couldn't see them very clearly, and there seemed to be no life inside.
Chi Qiu had several thoughts in his heart, thinking about it, it was better to go inside and take a look, Chi Qiu was not a person who liked to use his brain, so he found a corner that he thought was hidden, and first threw a stone, and there was no movement in it, and then he turned in.
Although it is built according to the wall, some are not regular, the inside is really big, the Lingtai Water Pavilion is readily available, it is dilapidated, several main buildings, the highest outer wall has also fallen off, and the inside is black and seems to be uninhabited.
There is only a two-story building in the west wing, which looks refreshing in appearance, and the connecting path seems to be often trampled on, and it is popular.
When Chi Qiu went around to the back, he heard someone talking.
"Big brother, you can be counted as coming, how do you say that you come at night, how can you arrive in the early morning." Chi Qiu really wanted to try to see who was on the other side of the wall, but there were tiles piled up in the corner of the wall, which was very easy to make noises, but fortunately, the other side didn't seem to move, and Chi Qiu followed the sound and eavesdropped outside the wall.
At this time, Shen Liang's voice came: "There were too many people patrolling, we were intercepted, so we spent a lot of silver taels to get out, so I had to find a brothel first to avoid the limelight, and then I came out again." ”
"Heh, you have meat to eat and women to play with when you follow the young master." speech
Although there is some envy, more is ridicule.
"Fourth, if you succeed this time, you will be a great achievement, and I will bow to the wind."
"When, I can't wait, this dead woman is hard to serve, yesterday for thirty taels of silver, the county lord of Yanhu offended to death, I really don't know what she has in her head, full of chicken and dog pickles, not a day of peace."
Chi Qiu took a deep breath, could this be Cao Kun beside the Cao family?
At that moment, Chi Qiu's whole body and mind were cold, yesterday he ate noodles and bought one or two bottles of wine, and there were less than ten people present at that time, but there were two fine works. I'll let you go, how many forces are staring at this Yanhu City and outside the city?
"Bear with me."
"Endure it, endure it until when, I said it was three years, but it turned out that three years followed and then three years, and now it's been ten years, and I now feel that my name is Cao Kun, not Shekun."
Poof, Chi Qiu quickly covered his mouth and almost laughed.
"It's been ten years, have you found that tunnel?"
Cao Kun sighed: "I'm afraid it's a rumor, I've been here for ten years, and I don't know how many earthworms have been turned over by me, so I really can't see what kind of authenticity there is." ”
Shen Liang comforted: "It happened more than a hundred years ago, maybe, it really doesn't work, let's just have two plans." ”
Cao Kun continued: "Hey, don't say it, it's useless to say it anyway, I've been doing this thing all my life, I just want to remind my eldest brother that this girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp, if our affairs are ruined by her, Lao Tzu will be blind for ten years." ”
Shen Liang persuaded: "Don't say it's unlucky, our Xie family has been dormant for so long, in order to hit with one blow and give you a thorough explanation, and we won't wait for Yanhu to build the outer city wall." ”
"That is to say, when the outer city wall is built, all the one, two, three plans are in vain, and then I will go upstairs and chop off the tongue of that girl, crush it, and feed it to the dog." Cao Kun said viciously.
Shen Liang smiled in surprise: "It seems that she provoked you a lot." ”
"You don't know...... She's a girl who can't fill her desires, sucks her husband dry, and wants to pull me as a concubine. Cao Kun smiled: "Although she is a little beautiful, but her appearance is too poor, at first she hooked up with men everywhere on the street, and her reputation was very poor, many families did not allow men in the family to go to the triangle, and I had to rob a few men on the street for her to have fun." Hey, I don't know how many corpses are buried in this back garden, all of them have yellow faces and thin muscles, and there is no essence and blood. I don't know how she's so powerful. ”
"Ahh You've done all these things? How many killed? ”
"Seven or eight." Cao Kun also felt guilty in his voice: "It's not okay not to help her find a man, this woman can't stand it, and I don't want Wu You to die, after all, this house was bought back by the Wu family back then, if it dies, the Wu family will sell it at that time, and it will be a bunch of chickens and dogs, maybe the back garden will be dug up, it will be too troublesome." ”
"You're doing the right thing,
It's hard for you, let's go, let's go and eat something, talk while eating. Shen Liang looked up at the attic: "Fortunately, our young master is not taboo in meat and vegetarian food." With that, the two hooked shoulders, laughed, and went away together.
Chi Qiu heard the two go to the kitchen, there was a sound in a room, Chi Qiu took a deep breath, stepped on the root of the wall, swam around, grabbed the low wall with both hands, and stood on it with a pull-up. Adjusting his body, he followed the low wall to the outside of the house, and luckily changed the beams, and went up to the ceiling of the attic along the beams.
The house is built in the style of Jiangnan tiled house, black tiles are obliquely paved, different from the general river-level flat roof style, Chi Qiu visits around, this attic is not high, and the main building next to it is about two meters higher than it, covering most of it.
Chi Qiu carefully opened a tile and peered into the room from the mouth of the sky.
I saw that the curtain of the bed in the room was shaking, and there were bursts of women's happy scolding inside, which was unbearable.
Chi Qiu scolded and covered the tiles.
Sitting on the roof, at a glance, the scenery is excellent, the old Yanhu City was built on a mountain rock at that time, although there are signs of rammed earth, but the three stacks of springs and cold springs around the mountain platform all show that the natural state of the year is excellent. Where there are springs, there must be a lot of groundwater, especially a steady stream of hot springs. It shows that the location of the castle is extremely particular.
The new Yanhu City is also a mountainous area, and the hills and cliffs that are not too high between the rivers are almost all used by every means, whether it is Caige Manor or Chen Family Manor or even Yanzhou City, the five mountains are not unified, and the big city is unlikely to be built on the flat land by the river in all directions.
Generally find a dirt slope, if the height is not enough, they will try to ram a little higher, to avoid the attack of the opponent's stone artillery, to hit the castle above the rammed earth layer, the siege force has to get closer, or have to build a larger return cannon, looking for more suitable stones.
Of course, the princes of the river will also use the river or mountain rocks to control the range of the return artillery. It is as if the new Yanhu Fort has been withdrawn to the edge of Weishan Lake, at least in the east, south, and west, and the erection of artillery is difficult. And due north is the sharp face of the diamond-shaped corner of the castle, which makes the besieging side quite a headache.
This large courtyard is located in the corner of the left city of Xinyan Lake City, it is the natural mountain rock before, the whole mountain rock main body is enclosed into the inner city, only this corner belongs to the outer city, in the old city, this piece of land is very large, but it is higher than the terrain of the small courtyard of the Qi family, it is estimated that the whole land was bought by the Cao family, and a triangular courtyard was built.
Although it is irregular, there is only one family, and the manor is still very large, revealing an extremely desolate atmosphere, and it has been abandoned for a long time.
Standing here and looking down, not far away is the peninsula of Lushui Zhangtai and Yanhu Xintai and Xinyiguan, where the terrain is low, unless you jump off the rock wall of more than ten zhang, you can only arrive, otherwise you can only obediently detour.
Because in the corner of the city, the Cao family has been in decline for many years, and no one takes care of it, and Cao Kun said that there are dead people buried in the yard, which seems to be cold.
There is a curtain on the bed, even if there is a sound inside, Chi Qiu is not unable to feast his eyes, seeing that where he is is a blind spot, his vision is excellent, but it is difficult for others to find him, so he simply sits on it and concentrates, his whole body relaxes, and a burst of whispers comes, the true qi in the body seems to echo quite a bit, and there is also a bit of warm water rolling, is this Qin Se and Ming?
It's already winter, the world is lonely, the morning sun also climbs a little slower, the triangle courtyard is geographically the three shades of the mountain north and the south to see the sunset, the morning sun can not be seen here, but you can see the scenery of the morning sun out of the lake, as if covered with broken silver.
Although Chi Qiu has entered the hazy realm, he is still the first level, and this initial level is the meaning of the zero order, and he is probably the first martial artist to break the mirror and disperse the mist throughout the ages.
Although there is a state of condensation, but to the first order, I am afraid that it will take three years and five years, Chi Qiu actually wants to cultivate immortals, so that you don't have to feel the warmth and coldness of the world's solar terms, and you don't need to worry about riding, a sword flies around, the cave is blessed, and the aura rolls in, who told him to come to such a different world, in the end, he has touched the door of martial arts, and he has not succeeded, and he is not in vain for his Chinese children, and he has a martial arts dream.
With Chi Qiu's return to the Central Plains, more and more people have been contacted, and Chi Qiu also has some general understanding of the world of Wuyue, the atmosphere and legends between the rivers, Chi Qiu understands, this is a parallel universe that has suddenly suffered a catastrophe, everything is not much different from the original world, and the human beings after the catastrophe have reshaped a new world, and there seem to be a lot of traversers in this world, the so-called leaders for hundreds of years, some of them have not had time to change the world to silence the secret traces, and some have made a little contribution to be swept away by the waves of history, There are also little-known witches and girls, and of course, there are also high-energy superlatives like Jia Dongpo and Zhao Qi.
There is danger in crossing, this is not an empty word, there are more cattle in the world, but more cattle people have been made into "radish and beef offal" before the cattle, Chi Qiu can't count on his lucky stars, the protagonist's aura, if you don't want to die early, you have to boil slowly, practice slowly, the only thing that is different is your own brain: use your brain more in everything, and the grass chicken becomes a phoenix.
The ancients were mostly cattle people, and the champions from generation to generation were all talents, and the generals were not straw bales.
On endorsement, a lot of people are stronger than Chi Qiu, and when it comes to fighting the general's broadsword, Chi Qiu may not be able to cut three or five rounds, but Chi Qiu has thousands of years of knowledge more than them, and it is always true, and the overall situation is stronger, as long as you don't indulge in the second dimension, many things are still very close to reality.
As long as the stalls of the old town are spread out, Yanhu, an emerging city, should be able to bring enough dividends to Chi Qiu, talent is the length of all things, as long as people gather, wealth will gather, and the market can be carried out, which is what people who have experienced the spring breeze of reform can feel personally, and the city lord of Yanhu seems to be a more enlightened city lord, with a well-informed policy and taking care of civilians, this is indeed a good place to show his strength, the only flaw is the place of the four wars, and the external factors are too important.
At that time, Chi Qiu was in Guanzhong, because of the drought and locust plague, in the past few years, Chi Qiu spent most of his time building canals and eating locusts and repairing canals
Over the years, Guanzhong has regained its vitality, the population has gradually increased, and some people who have fled to the mountains have gradually come out, which can be regarded as benefiting the people, but after all, he was a Chinese in his previous life, and he was a Jiangzuo person, and he ate too much stewed sheep's trotters, and he was also tired, so he thought about boiled fish with vegetables and radishes, of course, he wanted to see the world more, compared to the people around him, he had different thoughts.
I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, and after coming to the river for a few months, Chi Qiu saw a different Huaxia, and it was impossible to say that the ancient well had no waves, and he was even a little excited.
Chi Qiuduan sat on the eaves of a courtyard at the corner of the Yanhu Fortress, facing the towering city wall and mountain fort, which is a building that will only appear in the Eastern Continent in fantasy TV series, a magnificent picture.
He meditated and practiced qi here as a last resort, there were more and more people getting up early on the street, and then looking for a place to go, it was obviously inappropriate, I thought that the two people in the house, just cheating, must be a quick solution, but I didn't think about it, that Xie Changgao did fight quickly, but that Cao Shi did not let go of people and resolutely did not make a quick decision, all kinds of teasing and flowery work, again and again made Xie Changgao want to stop, so he had to stand up and fight again.
This man is a different woman, after three or four times, Xie Changgao couldn't stand it, opened the bed curtain, put on his clothes and drank water at the table.
After drinking, he didn't forget to hand it over to Cao, and in the curtain, Cao's raised his hand slightly, and after drinking the water, he pulled Xie Changgao together.
Eh, Chi Qiu's expression is very rich, these two people are endless, but this time they didn't pull the curtain up, and even a little bit of wanton leisure without fear of cold and heat, Chi Qiu couldn't help but sigh, the ancients were also crazy.
The two of them turned the dragon and the phoenix, but Chi Qiu didn't care, what made him shout in his heart was: Wu You was actually lying in bed, looking at the situation, it was estimated that he was either pointed or put sweat medicine, it was really a pair of dog men and women, too arrogant.
Chi Qiu originally thought that they would be able to listen to something useful when they were done, but now it seems that they really don't want to stay a little longer, regardless of whether it is useful or not.
Chi Qiu cleaned up his mind and put the tiles back in their place, compared to the previous cover-up, this time the tiles were completely put back in place, causing a little sound, and even a little dust falling, but it didn't attract the attention of the two people who were in full swing.
"It's unlucky." Chi Qiu jumped out of the yard and patted the ash on his hands.
turned around and scolded, this time the gentleman on the beam was in vain.
Coming down from the high platform of the Triangle Courtyard, an open wasteland, which used to be a prosperous place, it is not right to call it a mountain, but it is higher than the rest of the terrain in the outer city, and below the lake on the high ground is the famous Zhangtai Street. Looking down from the top, the natural lakeside rocks are also a slip of Jiangnan black tiles, the antique buildings are scattered and scattered, the carved railings are quaint and pleasant, and there is also a Jiangnan style in the smoke and rain of Weishan Lake.
On one side is the high Xilu late medieval fortress, and in the corner is the dwellings of the smoke and rain in the south of the Donglu River, the two cultures are perfectly integrated together in this different world, and Chi Qiu has to sigh at the wonder of this world.
Chi Qiu couldn't help but stand on the side of the high platform, not far from his feet were three peninsulas, two large and one small, they were adjacent to Zhangtai Street, and the northernmost was Jinxiang
The garden and Suxiang Garden are located, a villa area of wealthy families, and a small peninsula in the middle, the whole peninsula is the new post house, and the south peninsula is where the Yanhu Xintai is located.
Looking at it, it seems that some women are dancing on the lakeside water pavilion, it is said that it will open for business in a few days, I don't know what kind of glory and grandeur it is when you get it, about its gossip, Chi Qiu doesn't know how much I have heard, it is said that Li Yuan and Ding Wei are very eager to see its style for the first time, but I heard that it implements a membership system, the way to handle it, hehe, so that Chi Qiu has no solution, must be introduced by acquaintances.
Although Yanhu Xintai is newly opened in Yanhu, it has been operating for a long time in Weilan Xintai in Weilan Bibo City, and as the only new station along Weishan Lake, the surrounding nobles are all proud to have a Xintai card.
At this moment, the opening of Yanhu Xintai, except for the invitation letter to the top family of Yanhu, other "mortals" have no chance to step into it at all.
Now it seems that people have this capital, because there is only one business name in Xintai in the whole peninsula, including the entire peninsula, and the rest of the peninsula is either built into villas or elegant residences, or built into docks, and the distinguished guests around Weishan Lake who come and go from the south to the north do not need to enter the city at all, they can land and rest there, stay in the flower building at night, and after the gold is dispersed, they can take a boat and leave, like the kind of high-end club hidden in the mountains and forests in later generations, which is really a bit of style.
