It is said that Lu Zhi agreed to Liu Yi's request to go out of the city and set up a village, but in the end he still made a request to Liu Yi.

"If you have any requirements, just command!" Liu Yi said respectfully.

Lu Zhi was a little embarrassed to say his request when he heard this.

It turned out that during this period of time, the soldiers under Ji Ji went to Liu Yi's side every day to monitor, and Lu Zhi acquiesced. Lu Zhi did this because he wanted to know some secrets about Liu Yi's cavalry.

Lu Zhi and others have always remembered Guan Yu's majestic posture when he killed the head of the Yellow Turban thief in front of the city, and Wu Dan also reminded Lu Zhi before his death to find out the secret that Liu Yi's cavalry could play freely on horseback.

As soon as Liu Yi heard that Lu Zhi was asking about this matter, his heart suddenly settled down.

"So you want to know about this, so wait a minute!"

After Liu Yi finished speaking, he turned around and instructed Yao Lie, "Go, bring a pair of saddles!" ”

"No!"

After about ten minutes, Yao Lie returned with a full pair of saddles and stirrups.

"Your Excellency, please look!"

Liu Yi introduced the principle of using the saddle stirrup to Lu Zhi without reservation, it's not that Liu Yi doesn't know how to keep it, it's just that this kind of thing will be discovered sooner or later.

After listening to Liu Yi's introduction, Lu Zhi couldn't help but be amazed.

"Lord Liu is really Lu Ban alive!"

"Your Excellency has won a prize! It's over! ”

Seeing Liu Yi's modest appearance, Lu Zhi couldn't help but show an expression of appreciation.

"Lord Liu, I don't know how many of these things you have there? Can you give me a few blacksmiths who made this thing, this technique is too useful for the imperial court! ”

Liu Yi saw that Lu Zhi actually had the idea of confiscating his arsenal, and his heart suddenly became unhappy, thinking, "You old boy, this is trying to take me to the nest!" So he hurriedly explained to Lu Zhi.

"My lord doesn't know, I can't build this thing now, and all of the things I use now are seized from the Hu people! If you are missing, you can only make up for it with a copper ring! ”

Lu Zhi stared at Liu Yi for a while when he heard this, it was obvious that Liu Yi's words could not convince Lu Zhi, but since Liu Yi said so, Lu Zhi knew that it was not easy to debunk Liu Yi.

"Alas~ That's a pity, but it's really a way to replace stirrups with copper rings, but it may be a choke!" Lu Zhi said helplessly.

"That's what your lord said! However, the adult is an important official of the imperial court, and the resources that can be used must be much more than mine. ”

Lu Zhi saw that Liu Yi actually turned around and asked him for advice on how to build, and knew that if he asked any more, there would be no results, so he didn't ask any more.

After the three exchanged pleasantries for a while, Liu Yi said goodbye to Lu Zhi.

At this time, in Liu Yi's big tent, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were waiting anxiously in the tent.

"Hey~ Lao Guan, what do you say is the matter with Lord Lu calling the lord and them going?"

Because Guan Yu was a few years older than Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei screamed one by one.

Compared with Zhang Fei, Guan Yu is much calmer.

"I guess it's something about plotting against the enemy."

"Then do you think Master Lu can let us out? I can't stay here for a moment, and at the end of the season, I'm really afraid that one day I won't be able to control myself and beat him up again! ”

As soon as he heard that Zhang Fei was going to beat Ji Mo, Guan Yu hurriedly persuaded, "Yide, don't make a fool of yourself, when the time comes, the lord can't spare you!" ”

Speaking of Liu Yi, Zhang Fei's anger disappeared suddenly, in martial arts, ten Liu Yi may not be able to beat Zhang Fei, but sometimes it is not strength, everyone has long regarded Liu Yi as their own big brother along the way, and there are a few younger brothers who are not afraid of the eldest brother.

While the two were chatting, Liu Yi and Yao Lie opened the cotton curtain of the big tent and walked in.

"Lord, how is it? Did Lord Lu agree? Zhang Fei hurriedly stepped forward and asked when he saw the two of them entering the account.

The corners of Liu Yi's mouth rose, and he nodded at the two with a slight smile.

"Hahaha~ That's great!" Zhang Fei happily lined up his hands and shouted.

After a brief discussion in the tent, they prepared to leave the city.

......

Since the last time Gu Nei defeated Wu Dan and others, he has been standing still, not that Zhang Jiao does not understand the reason of pursuing victory, but these days the military reports of the Yellow Turban Army from all over the country have come one after another, and the three brothers, as the leaders of the Yellow Turban, have been busy remotely controlling the Yellow Turban Army in various places.

It is said that Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun led the order to crusade against the Yellow Turban Army in Henan and Jing, but due to the lack of soldiers and generals, Zhu Jun was repeatedly unable to win, and at this time he had been besieged by Bo Cai, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou, in Changshe County, under Yingchuan County.

Huangfu Song, who was confronting Ma Yuanyi and Zhang Mancheng in Jingzhou, heard the news and hurriedly led his troops to the rescue, but he didn't think that Huangfu Song had just left, and Ma Yuanyi and the two waited for the opportunity to kill Chu Gong, the magistrate of Nanyang County, and occupied Wancheng. Jingzhou is in an emergency.

"Big brother, Yu and Jing have made gains, but we have the smallest harvest here, and it is not a matter if we continue to consume it like this, I don't think we can divide the troops!"

"What the second brother said makes sense! Since this road doesn't work, why don't we look elsewhere! ”

At this time, Zhang Jiao was also a little helpless, the loss of the strong attack was too great, and he might not be able to capture it, if he wanted to pull the enemy out to fight, Lu Zhi and the others would definitely not come out easily after suffering the loss last time, and it would not be a way to spend so much for a while.

"I'm waiting for him to see the situation in a few days, if it really doesn't work, second brother, you stay and drag Lu Zhi and the others, and the third brother and I will go to Bocai and Yuanyi to support respectively, as long as there is a gap that can be opened, Luoyang will be at your fingertips!"

"Order!"

......

Speaking of Liu Yi's side, after bidding farewell to Lu Zhi, the four of them took their soldiers to the "treasure land" mentioned by Yao Lie.

On this road, there are either ravines and rocks or intertwined withered vines and branches, and everyone who walks is complaining again and again.

"Oh, I said Lao Yao, where the hell did you take us here, don't you say there is a path? Where is this road? Don't go the wrong way! Zhang Fei gasped and complained loudly.

"If you don't want to go, then you can go back!" Yao Lie wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied angrily.

"Look at you..."

As soon as he heard Yao Lie say let him go back, Zhang Fei was suddenly dumbfounded.

Zhang Fei saw that Yao Lie couldn't say it, so he ran to Liu Yi's side and cried out: "Lord, do you say that this old Yao is taking the wrong path?" This place is too difficult to walk, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the key is that if there is really something at the bottom of the mountain, we will not be able to come to support! ”

Liu Yi, who was so tired that he was sweating all over, felt that what Zhang Fei said was reasonable, but he believed Yao Lie's judgment, so he put his right hand on Zhang Fei's arm and said, "What you say makes sense!" When we get to the place, you have to work hard to lead people to open a way! ”

As soon as Zhang Fei heard Liu Yi say that what he said was reasonable, he was shocked by Liu Yi's words before he could show a proud expression.

"Hey! Lord, you can't be so partial! Why is this hard work and tiring work!? Zhang Fei complained.

"Those who can work hard!" Liu Yi patted Zhang Fei's shoulder and smiled.

Zhang Fei's head shook like a rattle when he heard this.

"Pull it down! Such a good opportunity for meritorious service should be left to Lao Yao! ”

Liu Yi couldn't help laughing when he was amused by Zhang Fei's appearance, and Guan Yu behind him also came up at this time.

"Lord, leave the matter of opening the road to me when the time comes!" Guan Yu volunteered to ask for his life.

In fact, Liu Yi was joking with Zhang Fei just now, who knew that Guan Yu behind him would take it seriously when he heard it, Liu Yi thought that Guan Yu had only joined his team not long ago, maybe he was in a hurry to show himself, so he didn't refuse.

"Look at the cloud chief!" Liu Yi looked at Zhang Fei and scolded with a smile, then turned back to Guan Yu and said, "Let's talk about the opening of the road when we settle down, we have a lot of people, let's go together when the time comes, it won't take more than one morning to finish!" ”

......

Everyone talked and laughed, and walked for about an hour, Yao Lie and others at the front took the lead and finally reached the top of the mountain, the top of the mountain is a flat land the size of a football, and there are no miscellaneous trees and rocks on the ground except for snow, as if someone has specially cleaned it up.

In fact, this mountain is not high, only two or three hundred meters, mainly because the mountain road is too rugged and the grain and grass are not good for luck, so it is so slow.

Liu Yi also came to the top of the mountain with the support of everyone, and as soon as he arrived at the top of the mountain, Liu Yi saw a temple-like courtyard not far away, the courtyard was not big, and it didn't look like a building that was too old, and it looked like it was only about thirty or forty years.

Liu Yi had the impression that Buddhism should not have spread to China at this time, so Liu Yi was curious, so he asked the soldiers to set up camp on the flat ground, and then walked to the temple with Yao Lie and a few others.

Approaching the main entrance of the temple, I saw a long wooden plaque hanging above the two red wooden doors, on which three big characters were written in gold water "Eternal Life Concept"

As soon as he saw the plaque, Liu Yi knew in his heart that this was a Taoist temple used by alchemists to make pills.

In fact, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, those dignitaries have begun to pursue the art of immortality, which has derived a new profession called "Fangshi", these people are all derived from ancient wizards, because they are familiar with various witch recipes that have been handed down, have knowledge, culture, and leisure time. In addition, they have been engaged in longevity refining activities for a long time and advocate immortality, so they are deeply favored by the upper echelons of society, so that they are often respected as immortals.

Although immortality allows the monks to gain fame and fortune, it is a double-edged sword. When the various lies they made up were exposed after all, the cost of annoying the monarch and nobles was extremely miserable, so many monks who were obsessed with the art of Dan found a hidden place to watch the alchemy by themselves, so that even if they were discovered, they could hide.

As a modern person, Liu Yi knew that these were things that coaxed people, but he was still curious about ancient alchemy, so he stepped forward.

"Is there anyone in the temple?"
