Chapter 24: Escape in the Night
Zhang Song brought boiling water, and busily cleaned the wounds of the iron guy and others, and then gave them good medicine.
"Let everyone be wronged!" Zhang Song said to the craftsmen.
"It's okay, they used to come to us every once in a while to find trouble." The iron guy said nonchalantly.
Other craftsmen chimed in.
"Did you fight before?" Zhang Song asked.
"Hit. Why not fight? The craftsman who had scolded Zhang Song replied.
"Then you won't resist?"
"Rebellion? How to resist? That's what we do. The iron guy sighed and said, "As long as you don't get killed, what's the point if you are beaten." ”
"No one is born with this fate, and fate can be changed. Didn't the history books say, 'Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind?' Zhang Song originally wanted to say that all men are created equal, but when the words came to his lips, they still became the famous sentence that Chen Sheng said.
The Iron Striker's eyes lit up for a moment, but then dimmed after a moment, "That's what I said...... It's just that...... Alas! ”
The iron guy shook his head, sighed constantly, and did not speak again.
After a long period of work, I finally took care of everyone's wounds.
The craftsman who had fainted just now had also woken up, and after learning what happened next, he thanked Zhang Song vigorously.
"It's also thanks to Zhang Jun, so they left in their hearts." One of the craftsmen said.
"Today they're gone, and tomorrow they're coming again, so what?" Another craftsman is humane.
yes, tomorrow they're here again, so what to do? Even if you can successfully thwart the conspiracy of Yu Xinzhi and others every time, it's very annoying to do it once a day.
This situation must be reversed once and for all! It can't go on like this.
Thinking like this, Zhang Song asked the iron guy in detail about the situation of meeting Zhou Mingshu.
When he learned that the iron guy had not entered Zhou Mingshu's house at all, and everything was passed down by his subordinates, Zhang Song felt that he had not thought about this matter well.
The two Jin Dynasty period is the most serious historical period of the view of the gate, the children of the scholar clan simply look down on the children of the Han family, at that time not only the scholars do not intermarry, they don't even speak, and even the emperor's uncle went to visit the place of the scholars, and the landlords of the scholars not only did not want to see, but humiliated more, just because the emperor's uncle was not from the scholars.
The emperor's uncle is still like this, not to mention the "untouchable" who is engaged in the iron-smelting industry like the iron fighter, so he is naturally not treated well by people like Zhou Mingshu who are self-assured of being born in the scholar clan.
According to this estimate, Zhou Mingshu probably didn't take the words of the iron guy seriously at all, and it was a mistake to let the iron guy pass the message.
Zhang Song thought for a while, and said to the iron man: "Iron man, please go again, go to Zhong Lei and Fang Tao, and say that I have something to find them, let them take the time to come to the iron smelting field." Remember to find them today. ”
"I don't have a problem. It's just that what about the iron smelting after I'm gone? If you delay any longer, you may not be able to complete the task. ”
"It's okay, you just go, I'll take care of it, and I promise that I won't delay it."
The iron guy thought about Zhang Song's means of improving the bellows, and then contacted his style of handling things, so he agreed with confidence.

In Zhou Mingshu's house, Yu Minzhi, Li Mo, Zhou Mingshu, and Zhou Fangzheng got together.
"What about the Wyvern Thief and the Mengshan Bandit?" Zhou Mingshu asked after coughing a few times.
"Now the Flying Dragon Thieves are the most arrogant, and they have the potential to sweep away Zhangye and even Liangzhou, and the Mengshan Thieves also have frequent moves, and even the small forces around us are also ready to move, and often send people to wander around Qingsong Valley." Li Mo replied.
"They're trying to hit Green Pine Valley!" Yu Minzhi said, "I just don't know which one is behind this time, just with their few small fish and shrimp, they don't dare to mess with us." ”
"I think it's more likely to be a thief." Zhou Fang replied.
"Whoever it is, we have to be on our guard." Zhou Mingshu admonished, "We need to build more iron weapons, and we still have too few iron weapons." ”
"It is too difficult to increase iron weapons in a short period of time, and our iron smelting yard is this output, and there is no way to increase it." Li Mo replied a little embarrassed.
"Then try to find a way! Be sure to increase production. Zhou Mingshu emphasized.
"Okay." Li Mo readily agreed.
"Is there any news from the capital?" Zhou Fang asked.
Several people in the room fell silent.
After a while, Yu Minzhi said: "Queen Jia Nanfeng and Sima Wei, the king of Chu, murdered the queen mother's family and her henchmen, and Sima Liang, the king of Runan, and Wei Qian jointly ruled the government, and then Sima Wei, the king of Chu, killed Sima Liang and Wei Wei, the king of Runan, and the queen Jia Nanfeng killed Sima Wei in the name of Jiao. Subsequently, Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, killed the queen Jia Nanfeng and her henchmen, and now, Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, deposed Emperor Hui Sima Zhen and established himself as emperor. ”
"The government doesn't have to worry about it, and it is impossible for the Sima family to settle down in a short period of time." Zhou Mingshu said.
"There's another piece of news, they specifically mentioned." Yu Minzhi hesitated, "Not long ago, Liu Yuanhai left the capital. ”
"What?" Zhou Mingshu was no longer calm, "It's troublesome!" ”
"What's wrong? Is it important for Liu Yuanhai to leave the capital? Seeing Zhou Mingshu's shocked look, Yu Minzhi asked in surprise.
"I'm not sure if it matters." Zhou Mingshu saw that everyone was a little confused, and continued, "But when the envoy was alive, he often emphasized to me that Liu Yuanhai could not leave the capital, otherwise the world would be in chaos. ”
Since Zhou said it, it must not be wrong. Everyone was thinking about the impact of this incident, but for a moment they couldn't figure it out, and the room fell silent.
"In my opinion, the imperial court is none of our business now, what we have to think about is what impact he will have on Qingsong Valley." Zhou Fang said cautiously.
Zhou Mingshu glanced at Zhou Fang, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face.

When Zhong Lei and Fang Tao arrived at the iron-smelting yard, it was already afternoon.
Zhong Lei and Fang Tao were both dressed in military uniforms, covered in sweat.
"Zhong Jun, Fang Jun, you are really hardworking, and you are training soldiers?" Zhang Song greeted him and said with a hearty smile.
"It's nothing, it's good to train more, and have one more chance to save your life when you fight." Fang Tao smiled and said, "It's you, it seems that you have a good time staying in the iron-smelting yard, and you can let the best craftsmen in the iron-smelting yard deliver letters for you, and you can still sit so leisurely." ”
"Ugh." Zhang Song smiled bitterly and sighed, "Where is it smooth, I am happy because I saw Zhong Jun and Fang Jun." ”
"What's the matter, did they come to you again?" Zhong Lei said in one sentence.
"No, after a vicious fight with him, they just left."
In the surprise of Zhong Lei and Fang Tao, Zhang Song told the two of them in detail about today's battle with Yu Xinzhi, Chen Jia and others.
At the end, Zhang Song said to Zhong Lei and Fang Tao sincerely: "I want to end this matter at one time, so that Yu Xinzhi and Chen Jia will not come to trouble again." ”
"It's not easy to do, I also thought about it, we can't get involved in the matter between you and Yu Xinzhi." Zhong Lei pondered for a while and said, "You also know that Fang Tao and I were originally Chen Jia's subordinates, and we were soft-spoken, and we didn't have much weight to speak in Qingsong Valley. ”
"It's not that you want to interfere with Fang Jun." Zhang Song lowered his voice and said, "I have already thought of a way, I just need Zhong Jun and Fang Jun to cooperate." ”
"Okay. No problem, you say, what do you want us to do? After exchanging glances with Fang Tao, Zhong Lei agreed without hesitation.
"I just ask you and Fang Tao to bring a message to Zhou Mingshu and tell him that I have a way to double the output of the iron smelting yard in Qingsong Valley."
Listening to Zhang Song's words, Zhong Lei and Fang Tao's expressions not only did not relax, but were full of doubts.
Zhang Song knew where the doubts of the two were, and he said confidently: "Don't worry, I'm really sure, not just talking." ”
"Since Zhang Jun is sure, then we can rest assured, and you can rest assured, we will definitely bring your words." Zhong Lei and Fang Tao breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and Zhong Lei agreed to Zhang Song.
However, in an instant, Zhong Lei had a hesitant look on his face, and he stopped talking.
Zhang Song thought that the two of them were going to regret it again, and his heart sank, but he still asked with a smile: "What's wrong?" Isn't it difficult? ”
Zhong Lei looked around, the craftsmen in the iron-smelting yard were all working, and the iron-striking guy also went to work after bringing back Zhong Lei and Fang Tao. In the huge noise, only Zhang Song, Zhong Lei, and Fang Tao stood in the shed.
Zhong Lei glanced at Fang Tao with an inquiring look, and after seeing Fang Tao nodding, he gritted his teeth and asked, "This matter is not difficult, we will definitely handle it for you." ”
"Zhang Jun, if you dare to ask you, you must tell the truth." After hesitating for a long time, Zhong Lei said.
Zhang Song looked at Zhong Lei and Fang Tao with serious expressions, and knew that what the two of them wanted to ask must be something important, so he became serious and said, "Zhong just ask, I will tell the truth." ”
Zhong Lei nodded, looked at Zhang Song for a moment, and seemed to be thinking about whether what Zhang Song said was true or false.
After a while, Zhong Lei asked: "Then you tell the two of us, do you plan to take refuge in Zhou Mingshu?" ”
After the words were asked, Zhong Lei and Fang Tao both stared at Zhang Song, and they were very nervous.
Zhang Song was very surprised, he didn't expect Zhong Lei to ask such a question, he was thinking about what Zhong Lei's purpose was in asking this question, and he didn't answer for a while.
Zhong Lei and Fang Tao's faces became more and more ugly, and at the same time, they couldn't hide their disappointment.
"I never thought of taking refuge in Zhou Mingshu, since the moment they threatened my mother's life and tied me to Qingsong Valley, it was impossible for me to walk with Zhou Mingshu, Li Mo, and Zhou Fang." Although he still didn't understand Zhong Lei and Fang Tao's intentions, Zhang Song still decided to tell the truth.
Zhong Lei and Fang Tao listened, and their faces looked much better, but Zhong Lei still had doubts, and he asked, "Then why do you often contact Zhou Mingshu and them?" ”
"I'm in the middle of a crack, of course I have to use the power I can use to survive first." Zhang Songdao.
"I see, then we can rest assured."
