Chapter 46: The White Bear
"Dead? Are you kidding me? It's only been a few days, and those two people are all dead? ”
Taijia looked at the helpless Yakult in disbelief, the latter shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile, and said: "This is really not what I said, after those two people returned to the shack, one of them suffered a cerebral hemorrhage due to overwork, and the other was whipped to death by my father......"
On this day, Taijia asked about the whereabouts of the two artisan slaves who built the waterwheel with him, and he never thought that Yakult would give him such an answer! There is no need for the latter to lie to him about such things, so ...... It's such a coincidence.
Looking at the Thai armor whose brows were getting tighter and tighter, Yakult laughed and said, "What about the common people? Aren't you not afraid of heaven and earth? Why did your elder tell you to tear it down, and you really did it? ”
"Is it okay not to dismantle it?" Taijia said indignantly, "That old man put Gu in my body before, if you don't listen to him, he will let Gu bite me to death!" ”
"No wonder ......"
Looking at the relaxed Yakult, Taijia was a little strange: "Fool, don't you feel heartache when such an important thing is lost?" ”
"It's not going to be lost, it's a big deal that you spend another month to make one! But I think ...... This thing is in your hands now, it's really better to dismantle it! ”
"Why?"
"Commoner, have you thought about it? What happens if something so important is discovered by an enemy country? My enlightened country is located in the middle of a poor mountain, with limited plains and countless Ze countries; And which of the surrounding Ba countries, Qin countries, and Chu countries is not located in the plains, fertile for thousands of miles? If they know about this, it will be harmful to our enlightened country! ”
Taijia still asked ignorantly: "Why?" ”
"Agriculture is the embodiment of the foundation of a country, followed by the military, armour, chariots, and so on. This material is conducive to agricultural production, if the enemy country takes this opportunity to completely open the distance between itself and our country, then my enlightened country can only sit back and wait for death? …… Perhaps, as your elders said, this is a bad thing, so it's better not to show it for now! ”
Taijia also understood, so he could only pout helplessly, there are so many pigs in this pigsty, and ten slaves carry water...... Hey, it looks like I'll have a hard time in the future!
Taijia's painful expression made Yakult laugh, and he involuntarily changed the topic: "Ordinary people, it's been nearly half a year since the last incident...... Now that Biya is still going to trouble you again? ”
"He's going to have to be free! The Marquis of Mao has now retired in Maoshan, and Biya has completely taken over the affairs of the tribe, and there are countless big and small things every day, where does he come from to find me? It's just that...... Those people hadn't been there last time, and I'm a little worried. ”
Yakult naturally heard Taijia say about this, and he only knew a little about the tomb guards, and even didn't know as much as Biya.
"I haven't started for half a year, so I may have given up on ......," Yakult speculated.
"I'm afraid they'll attack my family......" Taijia remembered with some trepidation, "Those guys are too fast, only Bi Yajian can barely catch up...... If they really want to do it to me and my family, we have no room for resistance. ”
The atmosphere became more and more depressing, until Yakult couldn't stand it anymore, so he patted Taijia's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't talk about these things, let's go, go to the mountains to have fun!" ”
"Mountain?"
"O Mo Mountain! Go to my Zhuangzi, and I'll teach you archery! ”
Taijia heard that the color of Maoshan had changed, and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, I can't go to Maoshan!" ”
"Why?"
"This ...... I'm a little embarrassed to say. ”
Taijia made it clear about the grievances and hatred between himself and the humerus, which made Yakult laugh; Finally, the latter wiped away his tears and said, "You go up with me, what are you afraid of him doing?" ”
Thaica suddenly realized.
The mountain is still verdant, and it is cool as soon as you enter the mountain. Normally, you need to be careful in changing to Thai armor, but today I can finally puff up my chest and go straight to the mountain!
The mountain is very open, and the estates of the nobles are built on the top of the mountain; The mountains that stretch for hundreds of miles are high and low, and only the nobles' Zhuangzi is forever hidden in the dense forest, and the common people are not given a chance to look at it at all.
A wide and well-groomed road that had been trampled on stretched to the top of the mountain, and when the two of them reached the mountainside, they felt a pant of breath. Taijia felt that he was a god with divine power, and it was no problem to climb the mountain, why did he breathe like this after only half of it?
Could it be that you are getting old?
"Let's take a rest first......," Yakult gasped helplessly, "In the past, someone carried me up, but today I walked up, but I didn't expect to be so tired." ”
After that, he sat down against a boulder, pointed not far away at Taijia on the side, and said, "There is a shooting range over there, where all the nobles will spend their time; It was a hunting ground, and if anyone wanted to go, soldiers would grab deer, leopards, and even tigers and throw them in, allowing the nobles to gallop in for fun. ”
"Where's your Zhuangzi?"
"On the mountain, next to the Zhuangzi of the Zhuangzi of the Murmur Qiuluo......"
Before the words fell, a loud trumpet was heard from the side of the hunting ground, and before long, a dull and solemn voice came: "What are you eating?" I can't even shoot a white bear, do I want this son to do it himself? ”
"This voice ......" Yakult's eyes rolled slightly, and he suddenly stood up, "Let's go, go and see!" ”
"Wait, wait......"
"What's wrong?"
"Legs...... My leg is numb......"
……
The shooting range is very large, although it is not as large as the royal garden, but if it is only an entertainment place built on the mountain, it is too much of a fuss. It's just that this was built by all the nobles of the city, and it is too much to say that there is no pomp and circumstance.
The range is made of wood, and the walls are more than two feet high, and the targets range from 90 to 180 paces. In the past, there would be about fifty guards standing by here, but today, somehow, only a few guards are still guarding, and the rest are gone.
If you go a few hundred steps further, you will find a group of centaurs hiding in the dense forest, not knowing what to do.
Tang Cheng frantically hit the guard's helmet with the sword in his hand, and scolded: "Rice bucket, rice bucket!" Eat the and go! It's a white bear trapped in a tree, you can't shoot it down for me, do you want me to do it myself? ”
The guard was pained and said aggrievedly: "Childe, that white bear is too agile, we are gathered under this tree, and he has already run to another tree; And this forest is so dense that it's really hard to hit the bow and arrow! ”
"Fart! Give me the bow and arrows and see how I can shoot you!" ”
Tang Cheng snorted coldly, took the bow and arrow presented by the soldier, looked at the white in the green, and flew out with only a slight aim. The feather arrow passed through the layers of green leaves, and it was directly submerged into the white, and suddenly a slight murmur was heard, and the white fell rapidly.
"Childe is a good archery!"
"I'm ashamed of myself!"
The soldiers hurriedly clapped their hands and praised, but they all scolded in their hearts - damn, you usually shoot a lot of arrows, but we don't even touch them much, how can we compare?
The white animal fell to the ground, it was actually a panda that was not very old, and the eyes hidden in the dark circles no longer reflected foolishness, but a strong anger, seeing a group of people surrounding him, he was about to wave his claws and tear them apart, how could he land on the ground and the hind paws were in severe pain, and he couldn't move.
"Let's see if you can't run!" Tang Cheng looked at the immobile panda and laughed, "It's just right, if you have a meat dish at night, I'll take you to the pot!" ”
I don't know if the panda understood something, his eyes suddenly showed a frightened look, even if he was hit by an arrow in his claws and couldn't move, but his front paws were still strong, and he was about to climb up the branch to escape, but was caught by Tang Cheng.
"Still want to run? I've gone so hard to catch you, how can I let you succeed? ”
In Tang Cheng's eyes, this is not a national treasure, but a prey.
"Brother Tang is so Yaxing!"
Yakult walked slowly, slightly arched his hand, Tang Cheng hurriedly responded, and suddenly saw the Thai armor beside Yakult, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said with a smile: "The two of you are actually free to come here, it just so happens that I hunted a white bear, and I invited you in the evening!" ”
Taijia coughed lightly and said, "Brother Tang invited, I should be grateful, but this white bear has a lot of fate with me, I can't bear to eat it......"
"Huh? Taijia, do you still have a fate with this white bear? ”
Taijia smiled bitterly and said, "This ...... I shouldn't have mentioned it, I went up to Qingcheng Mountain five years ago, if it wasn't for this white bear helping me, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to go up the mountain......"
When Taijia climbed Qingcheng Mountain, if it weren't for the sound of the white bear that led away the group of soldiers guarding the crossing, he would not have been able to run to the mountain.
"Five years ago? Taijia, you are joking, the white bear five years ago must have already become an adult, and I am a little white bear! Besides, this place is Mao Mountain, which is more than 20 miles away from Qingcheng Mountain, how can it be the white bear that saved you? ”
"Uh...... What if this is the son or grandson of the white bear? I can't bear to break it......"
"And what do you want?"
"Well...... this"
Tang Cheng looked at Taijia speechlessly, and saw that he looked like he wanted to say something, and thought that he wanted to get this white bear from his own hands...... In fact, he only did it because he saw that this bear looked strange, and if he could win favor by giving him to the Thai Army, it would be understandable.
"That's it, I'm sending you!"
