Just when Zhou Bian was embarrassed that Duke Zhou was actually fighting the idea of the royal family, Jian Jia had also returned to the palace. www.biquge.info At this time, it was almost dusk, and with the dim oil lamp in the main hall, the queen who was sitting knelt down, "Fortunately, with the blessing of the king, the old slave returned to my Da Zhou safely." ”

"Then Han Hou is not difficult for you, right? Thanks to you for covering up for the prince that day, otherwise if the prince had been taken captive, I don't know what the consequences would have been. ”

"The old slave is fine. Wang Zibian is smart and flexible, and he is deeply blessed by the previous king, but the old slave is incompetent, and after all, the prince is frightened. ”

"Alas, let's not talk about the prince, the king's condition has worsened in the past few days, fortunately, the queen is waiting carefully, and the palace has also ordered, what happens outside the palace in this palace must not be mentioned in front of the king, if you see the king, you may be careful with your words." The warden nodded yes.

The Queen Mother frowned again, "Then it's just that Han Hou despises my Great Zhou royal family, I didn't think that this Zhou Duke actually harbored disrespect and wanted to override my royal family." You've heard all about today, right? ”

"The old slave knows that it is a good thing that the Shan family died, and Zhou Gong acted like this, and the old slave didn't expect that we could only endure it at this time. Thinking that Zhou Gong loved his youngest son, and gave real power to the eldest son, there would be a big disaster in the future. Then will be my royal family's chance. ”

"This palace has also been persuaded, but Duke Zhou didn't listen, as for the opportunity you said, alas, I don't know if this is a disaster or a blessing for my royal family. Let's mention this later, you are tired and frightened these days, go back and rest first, my royal family is also fortunate to have a loyal minister, such as the Taishi, the young master and you, otherwise how can you hold on. ”

The superintendent hurriedly saluted and thanked him, and took his leave. There was only one queen mother left in the main hall, and the lonely figure looked extremely lonely in this dim room, just as lonely as this dynasty that had entered its twilight years.

In the next few days, Zhou Bian heard some news one after another, the son of the Shan family still ran away, and a strategist was nowhere to be seen, when the Taishi went to accept Cheng Zhou's division, some officers actually coaxed, and all of a sudden the sergeant ran away most of the time, originally the first division of the Son of Heaven should be 2,500 people, but in the past 100 years, it has been reduced to about 1,000 people, and this time it has run more than half, and only about 400 people are left. There is no news from Meng Jin yet, and it is not much better if he thinks about it, so Taishi and the others are naturally worried. And this time Shan's death, the happiest should be regarded as the son's class, after a trip to South Korea, there was a fiefdom when he came back, and he happily inspected and rectified everywhere, and he was very busy.

And these naturally have nothing to do with Zhou Bian, who enjoyed a few days of peaceful life. In the past few days, he has trained these fourteen people every day, and he has also gained a lot of experience. Now these fourteen people form a horizontal team and a vertical formation, walking in unison, and running in unison are becoming more and more handy, and they already have the appearance of a modern army, and the use of weapons has also made great progress under the teaching of Zichang. It's just that as soon as the training started, there were more and more onlookers, and several chiefs of the palace guards came to see it, and even his sister Ji Zhu ran here every day.

Ji Zhu was originally idle and bored, but now Zhou Bian has a lot more natural words than Zhou Bian before, and he will tell a lot of interesting things that he has never heard, so Ji Zhu pestered Zhou Bian to ask him to talk about this and that, Zhou Bian also loves this sister very much, and likes her innocent appearance very much, so he has to hold on to the time of rest and change the way to tell stories to make her happy.

It was early winter, and the thin sunlight was lazily sprinkling the earth, and the breeze was blowing, which had brought a bitter chill. After Zhou Bian and the fourteen people followed the chief to learn the spear, he stopped the wooden spear on the ground, pulled his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his forehead. In the blink of an eye, it has been a month and a half since I came to the Warring States of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the mind of hurriedly trying to find a way back has also faded a lot, and now I am more calm to face the world, and this era has also changed a little because of Zhou Bian, such as this queue training method, and then wearing, at the beginning Zhou Bian was also surprised that people of all sizes wore open crotch pants in ancient times, and then he simply let Qiao'er make modern pants to put on, tied with a rope, and it was really much more comfortable, Later, he forced his fourteen men to wear full trousers, but fortunately, they were worn under the robes, and no one really said anything except that they felt inconvenient at first, and then other guards began to ask for them. As for the robe worn outside, it is difficult to change, at first Zhou Bian wanted to change the robe to the thigh, but he did not expect to be resolutely opposed by the queen mother and the princess, the reason is that it is not in line with the etiquette, and later under Zhou Bian's efforts, it was only changed to the calf, although it is still very long, but it is much better than hanging down to the feet, but it is only limited to Zhou Bian and others to wear it when training, and the rest of the time still has to be put on the robe. Fortunately, Zhou Bian is not in a hurry, and he will make big changes when he has power in the future, but this small change actually makes everyone's running speed faster.

After thinking about this, Zhou Bian looked at the rest time and called everyone to start training, this time the training was a complex formation, and it was also a formation customized by Zhou Bian for this cold weapon era according to his imagination or what he saw in the history books, such as the cone formation that is good at attacking, the fan formation and the circular formation for defense, the long snake formation with both offense and defense, and the more complex fish scale formation, these formations were immediately praised by everyone as soon as they were launched, and even the silent Zichang was praised, and even took the initiative to ask to participate in the training. Although there are fewer people now, they are also decent, and besides, Zhou Bian trained these people as officers, and when he trains large troops in the future, he will have to rely on them.

It's just that during training, Zhou Bian was still puzzled, why didn't his sister Ji Zhu come today, she came a few days ago, Zhou Bian was either watching from the side or learning to have fun when Zhou Bian trained, Zhou Bian came up to pester Zhou Bian to tell stories when he rested, Zhou Bian was still a little bored at first, but he didn't come today and felt panicked.

In a blink of an eye, it was lunch again, Zhou Bian sent Liu Ruoshui to find out why Ji Zhu didn't come today, this little girl has not been in the palace for a long time, but she is very familiar with the various locations in the palace, and she can talk with her small mouth, and she has not seen much scolding from the guards, which makes Zhou Bian ashamed.

After a while, as soon as Zhou Bian put down the bowl, Liu Ruoshui came back, it turned out that Ji Zhu was about to come over after breakfast today but suddenly found that his stomach began to hurt, and now he can't even get out of bed. Zhou Bian became anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly called Qiao'er to accompany him to Ji Zhu.

When I entered Ji Zhu's room, I found that the Queen Mother was also there, holding a bowl of broth in her own hands and feeding it to Ji Zhu's mouth, Ji Zhu's little face was listless, frowning as if she didn't want to drink it, and the Queen Mother was careful to coax. Zhou Bian saw it and hurriedly persuaded him, how can he still drink broth if he has a stomachache, the broth is not easy to digest, if modern people know that they have an uncomfortable stomach, they should eat light and easy to digest, but the ancients are obviously not clear, or the queen mother is not clear.

The Queen Mother was surprised, "Zhu'er can't eat anything, so she has to drink some soup to replenish it, otherwise how can her body stand it?" ”

Zhou Bian motioned to the Queen Mother to stop first and sit next to Ji Zhu, "Sister Wang, is her stomach swollen or colic?" ”

"My stomach is so swollen."

Zhou Bian stood up and touched his stomach and stomach and asked where it hurt, and Ji Zhu indicated that it was his stomach. When I asked what I had eaten in the morning, a maid brought Ji Zhu's leftovers in the morning, and Zhou Bian saw that a bowl of coarse grain rice should be rice or something. Zhou Bian couldn't help frowning, this kind of food is difficult to digest, I didn't think that this delicate little girl also ate this.

Recalling the taste of modern rice, Zhou Bian couldn't help but smile at Ji Zhu's head silently, "Sister doesn't have to eat this in the future, it hurts my stomach, wait for my brother to get you something delicious." After the mother, the child went out first and came back later. Then he took his leave.

Back in the courtyard, everyone had already eaten and were resting, Zhou Bian shouted loudly to wake everyone up, and asked where there was millet, everyone was stunned for a moment, and did not react for a while. Still clever and clever, after thinking about it, he replied that there should be something in the palace warehouse, and Zhou Bian hurriedly ordered several people to fetch a few bags. At this time, rice was already grown, but it was only eaten with the shell, which was more difficult to digest than coarse grains, so it was rarely eaten, and you must know that modern bran is used to feed pigs. So everyone was also puzzled why Zhou Bian suddenly asked for grain, but fortunately, he was used to obeying the order and immediately took the order and left.

Zhou Bian asked about the rice again, but no one knew about this, and if anyone knew, I was afraid that they would have eaten white rice a long time ago. Zhou Bian had to take the rest of the people to shake the palace, wanting to find something similar and replaceable. The principle of rice is actually very simple, it is a pot with a thick wall and a mallet, hammer it a few times, and then raise it to get rice. The mallet is easy to find, but the jar is not easy to find, the clay pot is too thin, and it is estimated that it will be broken if you get it. After swaying for half a circle, Zhou Bian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw a flagpole inserted in a stone in the field, the stone was about one meter square, and a pit was dug in the middle, and the flagpole was about thigh-thick and was just inserted in the pit to be fixed.

Looking at the flagpole about a few feet high, Zhou Bian looked at the people around him, and suddenly thought of an idea.
