From the west of the city to the east of the city, all the way is a song of praise, Tonghua's head is buried lower and lower, but the little black bird is getting happier and happier, her harvest is quite rich, on her shoulders are the seabirds she shoots, one hand is holding two fish, one hand is twisting a pheasant, the horse's belly is also full of wild fruits, and even the horse's head is hanging with a wild ginseng.

The little black bird's eyes couldn't blink, she couldn't count how many things she could change from the bottom, she thought, I want to change some seeds, and I have to change an axe for my father, and the seeds will be buried in the soil, and a lot of food will grow next year, the axe is used to cut wood, wood can be used to build fishing boats, my mother is already weaving nets, and when the fishing boat is launched, I will have fish to eat every day, and I don't have to starve anymore, starving girls are not tall, and they are not beautiful, you see, Sister Tonghua is so beautiful, her chest is bulging, that is really exciting.

Two soldiers escorted Tonghua and the little blackbird to the market.

The bazaar was close to the city wall, and there were many soldiers busy on the uneven, three-person high city wall, and the same was true under the city wall, a group of soldiers were pulling a huge wall crossbow against the city wall, and the young priest was shouting incessantly.

"A little to the left, a little to the right, be careful not to break its bearings."

"Wow, what a big bow and arrow, who can pull it? Gluttonous giants? ”

The little black bird looked at the crossbow and her eyes were straight, she had never seen a big bow and arrow, the bow body was thicker than her legs, the tight bowstring was like the braid on her back, and the arrow was a spear at all, she blinked her eyes and thought, her mother said, there was a giant a long, long time ago, that giant was very tall and big, and he could swallow the disobedient little girl in one bite, and the person who could use such a big bow must be such a giant.

Who knows, Tonghua said: "This is not a bow, it is a crossbow, one person can't pull it, it has a bracket and a bearing, and it needs eight people to make a joint envoy." ”

Tonghua was also shocked, the world said that the children of the Mo family are good at defending the city, and they are also very good at making all kinds of utensils, almost all of them are masters of making tools, in fact, otherwise, the Mo family is also divided into categories, not to mention the production of such an unprecedented giant crossbow, even an ordinary bow and arrow She will not know, however, there are also many skilled junior brothers and sisters in Baicheng who specialize in making instruments, and Tonghua has also read the "Ink Scripture Notes", in the all-encompassing Mo family classics record the production of wall crossbows and machine beasts, but she was still shocked by this giant crossbow.

The power of the wall crossbow comes from the powerful piercing force, this wall crossbow is nearly twice as large as the ordinary wall crossbow, which means that its piercing power is more than double that of the ordinary wall crossbow, how did he make it? You know, it's not just a little bigger, it's a lot of accurate calculations.

Huifeng Town is a very small town, and the kings of the mountains are all dead, so there is no need for such a powerful wall crossbow, why did the little villain make it? Could it be that he really wants to be a little lord here for the rest of his life? No, he's not that kind of person, his eyes are full of fierceness and violence, and he won't stay in this place forever.

Tonghua thought wildly.

At this moment, the great firebird flew from afar, hovered in mid-air, and let out a loud cry. Everyone looked up at it, and the little blackbird suddenly clapped his palms and exclaimed, "I know, this bow is for shooting the big firebird." ”

The big firebird seemed to hear the voice of the little black bird, it plunged down from the sky, its huge wings fanned a strong hurricane, the surrounding crowd scattered in all directions, and the war horses under the seat were also frightened, raised their hooves high, and kept neighing.

However, the sudden attack of the big firebird did not frighten Tonghua, she had long known that this stockpile was here to get along with herself, just when the horse's hooves were raised high, she clamped the horse's belly, and stood up with the war horseman, and pulled a wild fruit from the horse's belly, and threw it at the big firebird with lightning speed, trying to smash it to pieces.

"Goo."

The wild fruit is the wild fruit, it is not a stone, let alone a sharp weapon, I saw the big firebird tilt his head, stretched out his long beak, put the wild fruit in his mouth, looked at Tonghua with wide eyes, and then swallowed it with a grunt.

The big firebird looked at Tonghua like a fool, and his eyes were full of strange mockery.

Tonghua was so angry that his chest couldn't stop rising and falling.

"It's so majestic, even more majestic than the lord." The little blackbird looked at the big firebird with admiration.

"Really?"

A calm and indifferent voice sounded behind her, Tonghua's heart jumped, she reined in her horse and turned around, and at a glance she saw Ji Lie riding a horse and walking towards her.

The young lord had returned from a tour outside the town, still wearing his tattered armor, as if he was ready to fight at any time and at any time, and the priest Xingluo walked beside him, and behind them were twenty heavily armed single horsemen, with a small round shield tied to the arm armor of his left hand and a long iron spear in his right hand. The sun fell on the tip of the spear, glowing like fish scales.

He was preparing for war, a more violent war, Tonghua suddenly thought.

Today, Ji Lie seemed to be in a good mood, and he rode up to his squire and squinted at her for a while, as if admiring her beauty.

"Your Excellency, you've worked hard."

Tonghua lowered her head, properly revealing a piece of the back of her neck, she had learned, her teacher said, a woman's back of the neck is the most weak, it is easy to arouse a man's desire to protect and conquer. Unless, unless you're not a man.

Of course Ji Lie is a man, he was dazzled by the back of his neck that was as white as snow, Tonghua is very beautiful and dangerous, the young lord trusts his instincts, and believes in his bird even more, he is not fascinated by Tonghua, he walked towards the big firebird, touched the head of the big firebird, looked at the sun in the sky, and said lightly: "Your face is a little pale, you should walk around on weekdays, don't be bored in the yard all day, that will make you sick." ”

"Yes, sir."

Tonghua gritted his teeth and replied in a low voice. But I hate it in my heart, the hateful little wicked person, it's not pale, it's weak, the teacher said, the beautiful woman is as gentle as water, quiet as a peony.

The bazaar in Huifeng Town is small, just a long and narrow street, and the sides of the street are filled with a dazzling array of goods, where knife coins and ant-nose money are difficult to pass, and bartering is practiced, and a group of soldiers with halberds patrol back and forth to maintain order in the market. Still, quarrels can be heard.

Not far away, a group of people surrounded the water.

"Two fish can be exchanged for half a cup of grain, and a pheasant can be exchanged for two fish, and I am now exchanging a pheasant and two fish for your cloth, why can't I exchange it? Big deal, I'll add you another seabird! ”

"I'm Chubu, not an ordinary cloth, don't say that you have a pheasant and two fish, even if you double it, you can't change it! Hurry up, don't get in the way of my business! ”

"Your Excellency said that fish can be exchanged for grain, grain can be exchanged for cloth, and pheasants and fish can also be exchanged for cloth. I don't know what Chubu is, except that cloth is used for clothing, and the lord has said that in two years silk and linen will be worth less than the food to live. So ......"

"That's your lord, not mine!!"

The quarrel became more and more intense, and the crowd of onlookers became more and more, and the group of soldiers who maintained order were about to go to enforce the law, Ji Lie turned off his horse, waved his hand to restrain them, and when he heard such an answer, he was also strange in his heart, and walked forward in three steps and two steps, and squeezed in from the crowd like an ordinary person.

Tonghua's eyes lit up, and he pulled the little black bird to squeeze in behind him.

This is a small stall, Huifeng Town is too simple, of course there are no decent shops, all the items are traded on the ground, that stall occupies the Zhangxu Fangyuan, and there are several horses of different colors of cloth on it. A skinny horse lay on the ground, and the young trader sat next to the skinny horse, his face flushed, and from the way he dressed, he did not look like a local.

The other man, ragged and shrouded in a tattered and dirty sackcloth as most of the people in Windtown, was dragging a cloth of the brightest colors from his stall, and a stray fish, a dead pheasant, and a half-plucked seabird were thrown on the ground.

"Is it really a merchant?"

Ji Lie was overjoyed, as long as there were merchants, not so many kinds of goods would naturally flow into this isolated coast, and of course this territory would prosper with it, but he still had some doubts in his heart, and looked left and right, except for Tonghua and the little black bird, no one paid attention to him, they were all looking at the cloth intently, thinking about it, they had not seen such a bright color for a long time. At that moment, Ji Lie took off the iron helmet on his head, sent it to Tonghua's arms, and then pulled the gray fluffy coat behind him in front of him, and with a casual stop, the lord immediately turned into a gray mouse. He stepped forward and touched the cloth, the fabric was very slippery, and there was a silk cloth among them, which was also embroidered with a simple 'Hui' character pattern, it seemed that this person was really a merchant, but I don't know where he came from?

"Don't touch it!" Unbeknownst to him, the merchant suddenly shouted.

The voice was very sharp, Ji Lie was startled by him, and couldn't help but retract his hand, only to see the merchant staring at his hand with a pair of red eyes, he couldn't help but look down, and suddenly understood. It was a pair of rough and scarred hands, and under the years of fighting, new wounds covered old wounds, one by one, looking disgusting and dirty. No wonder the guest would scream, thinking that he was afraid that Ji Lie's hands would stain his cloth.

Looking at these hands, Ji Lie was stunned for a moment, because he remembered the other pair of hands, which were a pair of gentle and small hands, which had been caressing the scars on the back of his hands with great pity, and the touch was so soft.

"Firefly ......"

Ji Lie muttered in a low voice, his eyes flashing with boundless pain. All along, he struggled between life and death, except for iron is blood, therefore, his whole person is like an eternal iceberg, looking tall and cold, always bringing death-like depression to people, however, who knows, in fact, he is not invincible, on the contrary, he is still very fragile, and his weakness is the person he cares about.

"Your Excellency?"

"What a lord!"

Someone looked at Ji Lie and looked west, suddenly recognized Ji Lie, and shouted loudly, and the surrounding crowd immediately became short and knelt on the ground. So, Ji Lie, who was squatting on the ground, Tonghua and the little black bird who were standing on the ground were like standing out from the crowd, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Ji Lie is dead!"

At this moment, the merchant suddenly burst into flames, drew a long sword from the cloth, and struck Ji Lie by the throat.
