Yu Lie did not rush to see the Wei nobleman that the old slave said, but ordered the old slave to take him to take him around the newly acquired territory, standing on the shore of the lake, the cool breeze blowing, lifting the big curtain behind him, the lake that had been sleeping for thousands of years was broken by the tall waterwheel, it stirred the white waves, and sent the rare water source to the place where hope could be generated, there were fish in the lake, and in those difficult years, Yu Lie had taken the lead in touching fish and digging shrimp in this lake.

Every inch of the land of Zhongzhou has experienced the test of life and death, and has also experienced hundreds of years and dozens of generations of blood and fire, so that there is now a vast and boundless world. However, when King Wuying was in the world, he obviously did not expect the world to be so big, and at that time, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty was only a territory of thousands of miles, so the Great Zhou Law, the prince can be a hundred miles, a Bofang is seventy miles, a son is fifty miles, and a man is ten miles. However, three hundred and ninety years later, among the princes who are still standing today, which one is not a radius of thousands of miles? The most obvious is the Nanchu in the south of the big river, at the beginning of the seclusion, he was just a viscount, Fang Yuan was fifty miles, and the sacrifice had to steal cattle, but now, Fang Yuan is not more than ten thousand miles?

Circling along the enviable territory of three years ago, the light and rhythmic sound of the horse's hooves rising and falling was like a sacred and solemn hymn, and the sun shone through the treetops on the rows of black armor, glowing with a cold light.

The old slave rode a scrawny mule and followed behind Yu Lie, while he recalled to Yu Lie the major events that had happened in the territory in the past three years, he turned his head from time to time to look at the three hundred heavily armored single riders behind him, his cloudy eyes were a light that could not be hidden, and he couldn't help but think of the past.

I think that at the beginning, when the lord took eight hundred sons to the battle, there were no more than ten pairs of armor, and the horses were three lame horses, and even the weapons used by the sons were full of rusty defects, but now, look at these sturdy war horses, look at these heavy and extremely protective armor, and then look at the cold and chilling eyes of the territorial warriors, at the beginning, the old slaves can clearly remember that they are all freshly baked chicks, who want to spread their wings and fly high, but also for fear of being broken by the wind.

If it weren't for the lord being by his side, the old slave really wanted to pinch his thigh to see if it hurt, if he was dreaming. When people are old, they are always unconfident, and as a slave, they don't know what self-confidence is, so when no one is paying attention, he still pulls it hard, and the cold pain makes him crack his mouth and smile with his yellow teeth exposed. The lord was a good lord, and he didn't treat them like cattle, and even the young lord gave the person who had made a war exploit a free identity, which was unthinkable, but it did happen right in front of him.

The horse's hooves stepped on the old and soft fallen leaves, through a dense forest, the spring breeze sent the fragrance of peach blossoms, the splendid peach forest is endless, the peach blossoms in March are enchanting, and in a few months they will be full of fruit, and the group of wind monkeys on the top of the valley is the original owner of this peach forest.

The climate of Yan Country is cold, but in this depression surrounded by mountains, it is like spring all year round, if it were not for the bare old territory in the distance is really ugly, this is a fairyland on earth.

There was a carriage parked in the peach forest, and when he arrived here, the old slave retracted his gaze, lowered his head, and told Yu Lie: "Master of the family, that is the carriage of Wei Guiren." The voice was extremely respectful, although he was no longer a slave, but the awe of the nobility was deeply engraved in his bones.

Wei Gui is in Yanjing.

The carriage was familiar.

Yu Lie said: "Take me to meet the person who cast the waterwheel and the coupling cultivator." ”

The old slave was stunned, he didn't expect that the lord would not go to see Wei Guiren, but to see a new slave, however, he had been a slave for fifty years, and it was his nature to obey, he nodded humbly, and led Yu Lie to the old leader.

The horse team drove through the peach forest, crossing the gray and green dividing line, and the carriage in the peach forest pushed open the window, and a pair of beautiful and uncast eyes stared at Yu Lie on horseback. The lord didn't look back.

The new collar and the old collar are one is the sky and the other is the earth, as far as the eye can see, the old collar is slope-shaped, there is no bright lake, there is no tender green field, only a few sparse pear trees, even in this spring March, they bloom weakly.

The heavy horse's hooves trampled in the mud puddle, and when they were pulled up, they brought out the muddy mud, revealing the hard stones. The Lord's Mansion was built on a slope, and here, the earth was a little deeper, and the not-so-majestic Lord's Mansion was hidden among a few towering trees, and a wisp of green smoke rose from the chimney with a sharp halberd.

The firebird crouched in front of a figure carved out of a boulder, to the left of the lord's house, riding a tall horse, wearing heavy armor, the big sword in the wind cracked, the sword in his hand pointed into the distance, and a stone bird followed him, its wings already spread, ready to soar into the air.

The young slave girls, having heard of the lord's return, were busy in the stone-built mansion when they saw a large caravan of horses rushing up and falling to the ground with coarse cloth skirts.

Seeing the lord come forward with the horse's hooves, the big firebird walked towards it with square steps, and it was now almost as tall as Yu Lie when it was standing upright, and Yu Lie patted its head. It grinded the palm of Yu Lie's hand with its pointed beak, walked over to the stone statue, and continued to eat its dinner, which was a giant serpent with colorful patterns.

The Lord's Mansion was not a place for slaves, and around the towering trees, rows of low stone houses were scattered behind the slopes like terraces. The old slave led Yu Lie through the cracks of the stone houses, and came to one of the stone houses closest to the cliff.

This stone house is slightly larger than the houses that Yu Lie has seen all the way, and there is even a small yard in front of the house, at this moment, the yard is messy, there are logs of different sizes everywhere, a young man with messy hair is squatting in the mess, there is a wooden utensils in front of him, which looks a little like a cow, with a pair of curved horns, he vigorously stirred a rotating rod on the belly of the wooden cow, and a buzzing sound sounded, the wooden cow actually moved.

The young man was so focused on the wooden cow that he didn't notice it when Yu Lie and the three retainers and the old housekeeper came behind him, and looking at the scene in front of him, the group of five people, including four horses and a mule, were all stunned, and the eyes of the people, horses, and mules were so incredible.

Just after the wooden cow walked forward a few steps with its head held high, a puff of smoke suddenly rose from the open mouth of the wooden cow, and then, a fiery smell rushed to the nose, and the wooden cow "boomed" and struck.

"Oops, oops."

The young man screamed in unison, ran to the side of the wooden ox that was still burning, and reached out to dig inside, as if to find something out of the wreckage, his expression entered a state of selflessness, and his sleeves were burned by the fire, and he was unaware of the fire, seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and he was still turning, Luo Ying quickly grabbed it and pulled him away from the fire. The old slave rushed into the house, brought out a basin of water, and threw it at the young man, which immediately made him feel cold.

As soon as the fire was extinguished, the young man came back to his senses and saw that Yu Lie was looking at the pattern he had drawn on the ground, and he was in a hurry, so he grabbed Yu Lie's side in two steps, and wanted to push Yu Lie away.

"Bold!"

Luo Ying, Luo Hou, and Luo Feng shouted in unison.

The old slave cried out, "Don't be rude, this is the head of the house!" ”

"Home, head of the house?"

The young man's face was blackened by the fire, and he was stunned on the spot. The old slave pushed him, and he woke up suddenly, and knelt on the ground with a "plop", although he knelt, his neck was straight, and his ass subconsciously wanted to sit on his heels.

"Get up."

Yu Lie noticed this detail, but didn't think much about it, squatted down, and carefully looked at the patterns on the ground, these patterns were drawn with charcoal, the styles were extremely complicated, some large and some small, and the functions were different, and he felt dizzy after looking at it for a while.

"Iron has to be used here." Suddenly, Yu Lie pointed to a certain location in the pattern and said.

"With iron?"

The young man's eyes lit up, but in a moment they darkened again, and he muttered, "I have no iron, only wood." "I looked depressed.

"From now on, you can have as much iron as you want."

Yu Lie stood up, clapped his hands, turned around and left. The young man chased him out of the courtyard and shouted, "Really? How much do you want? ”

Yu Lie smiled, didn't look back and didn't speak.

"Bastard thing, what the head of the family said, how can it be fake!" The old slave shouted loudly, and whispered to Yu Lie: "The master of the house thinks twice, iron is expensive and wood is cheap, a pound of iron is equal to three cents of gold, if the master of the house wants to see some strange things, wait a few days, I will let this baby be a little wooden bird that can fly, although it is not high, but it is quite strange." ”

"Give it to him!"

As the sun set slowly in the western sky, Yu Lie smiled indifferently at the old slave.

A group of five people returned along the way they came, and the old slave kept muttering softly, and kept glancing at his son Luo Ying, hoping that he would persuade the lord, but Yu Lie pretended not to know, and when he arrived at the lord's mansion, Yu Lie ordered the old slave to set up a celebration banquet.

When the lord returned triumphantly, he was of course rewarded with his fellow soldiers, and was given some land and goods. Slave girls walked around the feast, aged peach wine was brought out of a jar, and thickly salted bacon was placed on the table.

When everything was done, the sunset had already sunset, and the lights were lit inside and outside the lord's mansion, Yu Lie changed out of his iron armor, walked to the stone statue, stretched his waist towards the rising moon, and looked at the vast distance with the stone statue.

At this time, a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove up the slope.

Yu Lie smiled coldly, turned around and left, but heard a voice shouting: "The famous Tiger of Yanjing, why don't you talk about credit?" ”

Yu Lie didn't answer, and looked back at the carriage.

The delicate maid on the wheel was a little panicked by him, but she supported herself, and said: "You have an appointment with my little lady, why, why don't you obey it?" My little lady came in person, why did you turn a blind eye, you, how could you be reasonable! "Biting my lip was angry.

"Xiaochan."

A quiet voice rang out.
