Great Zhou Arsenal, this is the name that Lu Heng said at random when he was in Jiangning at the time, but he didn't expect that Wu Ningyuan really set the name of this weapon research center as the Great Zhou Arsenal.

walked all the way, and when they arrived at Baiyun Mountain, the three of them were sweating.

The Ouchi guard, who followed, hurriedly stepped forward and helped the three people on the horse down. Wu Ningyuan was better, but the other two were all in pain. galloped all the way, for two whole hours, and I was so tired and out of breath that I ran down.

After flipping off the horse's back with difficulty, Lu Heng took the water bladder handed over by Agui, took a sip, and let out a sigh. With his hands in his sore waist, he raised his head and looked at the green pines all over the field, and there was a light mist on the mountainside, and the Baiyun Mountain, which seemed to be majestic, and secretly praised a good place in his heart.

It is indeed a good place, Baiyun Mountain is located in Luoyang Song County, stretching for more than 300 miles. During this period, the valleys are intertwined and the dense forests are secluded. It's a good place to hide secrets.

The Great Zhou arsenal was built here, taking advantage of the time and place, plus Wu Ningyuan sent elite soldiers to defend and patrol, and closely checked the people entering and leaving, and the possibility of leaking secrets was very small.

The emperor, dressed in civilian clothes, was also tired enough. At this time, he was sitting on a big bluestone by the stream, holding a pergola with his hand, looking at the misty, fairyland-like Baiyun Mountain, and nodded slightly.

"The Great Zhou Arsenal is in the mountains?"

The emperor took the water bladder, poured a sip, pointed to the depths of the mountain forest, and asked Wu Ning from afar.

"Yes!" Wu Ningyuan nodded, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the peaks that stretched and intersected between the clouds and mist, and said, "For the sake of secrecy, this place has been closed since half a year ago!" ”

"Closing the mountain?" When the emperor heard this, he said puzzledly: "You don't have a seal, how can you give an order?" ”

"Oh, that's easy!" Wu Ningyuan smiled triumphantly and said, "I asked my subordinates to carve a seal with a radish, and then took your holy oracle and let the county order of Song County follow it!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Wu Ningyuan's smug look suddenly disappeared. Turning his head and looking at the emperor with a sinister face, he chuckled in his heart and secretly exclaimed, no, he said that he had leaked his mouth.

"Eighth!" The emperor smiled deceitfully, groped his chin, and said sinisterly: "Coupled with the crime of deceitful in the Imperial Garden, and the crime of false transmission of the holy decree, you have already committed two unforgivable sins. According to the law of the Great Zhou, it is to be punished by the nine clans! ”

"Oh!" The surname Suo was known to him, and Wu Ningyuan immediately played a scoundrel. After hearing this, his face did not change color, and he let out a fluttering oh, and then looked at the emperor and said, "Punish it, anyway, someone is more afraid of death than me!" ”

Zhu Jiu Clan? You're damned!

Hehe, don't say it's the Nine Clans, within one clan, you old boy has to die with me. Wu Ningyuan smiled shamelessly, and his triumphant look made the emperor suddenly have black lines on his head.

Old rascals, old rascals!

The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched, and he despised Wu Ningyuan fiercely in his heart.

Although he despised it in his heart, the emperor also had to admit that Wu Ningyuan's approach was indeed leaky. If this method is not adopted, I am afraid that the secrets of the Great Zhou arsenal have already been leaked out.

Moreover, the emperor glared at Wu Ningyuan viciously, and sneered in his heart: What do you think you did, Lao Tzu, oh no, boss, I really don't know anything?

Wu Ning Yuanjian Emperor did not mean to blame, but rather appreciated it in his eyes. Wu Ningyuan hugged his fists and smiled, and said to the emperor: "Thank you!" ”

Both of them are smart people, and the meaning of the period naturally does not need to be said explicitly.

Wu Ningyuan knew that his imperial brother had his hands and eyes open to the sky, and he couldn't hide anything from him. Without the emperor's acquiescence, he would not have been able to do anything.

And the emperor also understood that only by doing this could he avoid the eyes and ears of most people. Inevitably, once he issued an order, he would be known to everyone in the world.

Therefore, for what they thought in each other's hearts, the two glanced at each other and smiled slightly, and their hearts were naturally open.

After Xiao Dapeng sent out the signal, it didn't take long for him to see a team of heavily armed soldiers coming out of the valley in front of him. Led by the recently disappeared, sneaky Zhanxiong.

After Zhanxiong walked out of the valley, he was relieved to see the three masters surrounded by many thousand cow guards in front of him, and waved his hand to let the soldiers behind him put away their swords. At the same time, on the slopes on both sides of the valley, the strange birdsong gradually disappeared.

"Snow Wolf Battalion?" Ever since he entered the mountain, Lu Heng had heard the sound of birdsong, and he still doubted in his heart that everyone knew about such a means of communication. At this time, after Zhanxiong, the battalion officer of the Snow Wolf Battalion, appeared, he suddenly understood in his heart.

"yes!" Wu Ningyuan nodded and said with a smile: "Others are not at ease! ”

"That's right!" Lu Heng smiled and nodded.

After Zhan Xiong walked over, he respectfully stroked his chest with one hand and saluted the three of them: "Humble duty, I have seen Your Majesty, the prince, and the military advisor!" ”

"Zhanxiong, I am short of a Zhonglang general now, are you interested!" Unexpectedly, the emperor laughed, walked over, patted Brother Zhan's shoulder, and directly pulled him naked. As he spoke, the emperor turned his head, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Wu Ningyuan. Well, clearly a provocation.

Hearing this, Wu Ningyuan on the side couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Lu Heng was smiling, looking at these two bickering old men, he was extremely funny in his heart.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, please!" Zhanxiong scratched his head and smiled innocently. After getting out of the way, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the intricate road behind him, and said with a smile to the emperor.

Touching a soft nail, the emperor was not angry, as if this kind of thing had long been commonplace. It's just that turning back to Lu Heng, who was laughing, shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"Lead the way!" Seeing that the two seemed to be smiling even more happily, the emperor glared at them angrily, turned around, and said to Zhanxiong in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Zhanxiong was about to turn around and go in, but he stopped again and looked at the many Qianniu guards behind the emperor with an embarrassed expression.

"Your Majesty, they!" Zhanxiong wanted to speak and stopped, his expression hesitant.

"Zhang Li, you wait here!" The emperor did not embarrass Zhanxiong, he knew that what he was about to meet was the top secret of the Great Zhou. The less people have contact, the more confidential it is. Therefore, without thinking about it, he directly agreed to Zhanxiong's request.

"Yes!" Behind him, Zhang Zhang clenched his fists and responded in a deep voice, waving his hand, and let those indignant Qianniuwei sit down.

"I'm sorry, brother!" Zhanxiong saw that Zhang Li's face was dissatisfied, and after laughing apologetically, he turned around and went in.

The accompanying Qianniuwei led the horse and waited outside the valley. Lu Heng and the three of them walked into the valley with Zhanxiong. Before the three of them entered, the soldiers of the Snow Wolf Battalion, who had left to guard the gate, stood at the mouth of the valley with their hands behind their backs, stopped their waists. Blocked the eyes of others.

"Brother, which part are you......" A Qianniuwei was itching, and smiled and stepped forward.

When the soldier of the snow wolf battalion heard this, he just glanced at him coldly and then looked away.

Qian Niuwei was bored, sat down stupidly, and slandered in his heart.

"They are the Snow Wolf Battalion, known as the number one elite of my Great Zhou!" As a general of Qianniu Wei, Zhang Li naturally knows more than others. Glancing at the soldier in a grass-green uniform, he lowered his voice and said to his companion.

Snow Wolf Camp! The first elite?

Hearing this, the gray-headed and gray-faced Qianniu Wei was suddenly terrified when he looked at these soldiers guarding the door, like iron-faced door gods, dressed in capable green military uniforms.

…… Walking in this valley surrounded by twists and turns, the emperor could naturally see that the layout of this valley was the most complex military formation in the Great Zhou. During the period, it contains Qimen Dunjia and Bagua Array. It's easy to get lost if there is no one to lead the way.

It's well-intentioned! The emperor touched his chin and admired in his heart, turned his head to look at Zhanxiong who was asking Zhan Xiong about the progress of the weapon's manufacturing. His eyes were full of warmth.

On the side, Lu Heng looked comfortable, holding a branch in his hand and landing on the ground. And every time he walked to a disagreement, he would smile and point out to Agui beside him.

And Ah Gui looked confused.

"Do you see?"

"Oh!" Ah Gui smiled, nodded, and then shook his head again.

"Do you understand?" Lu Heng was speechless.

"Nope!" Ah Gui was very straightforward, and the words he said made the emperor who was eavesdropping on the side almost burst into laughter.

The emperor laughed, looked at Lu Heng with a depressed face, and shook his head. Maybe it was because of lack of physical strength, and one of my feet was unstable and I almost fell to the ground. Frightened, the soldiers beside him hurriedly came over to help.

The emperor waved his hand, signaling that he was all right. Then he came over, looked at Lu Heng, and asked with a smile: "Listening to the eighth brother, you wouldn't be so keen on state affairs at all, what's wrong with this time?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Heng turned his head, glanced at the emperor with slanted eyes, and then retracted his gaze and smiled slightly.

"Because of well-being?" The emperor's eyes flashed with gossip, groping his chin and asking ill-intentionedly.

"Yes!" Lu Heng nodded first, and then shook his head with a smile: "It's not!" ”

"Why not!" When the emperor heard this, he muttered in disappointment.

Belch...... Seeing this old man, the expression on his face was obviously a match for Lalang. Lu Heng couldn't help but sweat profusely.

I've never seen it, this daddy! So keen to find a partner for her daughter.

"Tell me, what else is the reason besides Ankang?" The old guy has a very high art of speaking, first of all, pull Princess Ankang in, whether you want to or not. There must be a reason for this. As he spoke, the old man looked at Lu Heng with a grim smile. Waiting for his reply.

Seeing the old man's face of being sure of you, Lu Heng was speechless.

Shaking his head, he didn't want to dwell on this matter, and after thinking about it, he said lightly: "Actually, I also know that what you said in the Imperial Garden is not actually alarmist. At present, Da Zhou has indeed reached the threshold of critical survival. ”

Hearing this, the emperor nodded calmly. He was the emperor and the supreme authority of the country. Naturally, I think more than others.

If it weren't for the fact that things were at a critical juncture, he wouldn't have been so out of shape and angry when he was in the Imperial Garden.

"As for the reason!" Lu Heng smiled, thought about it, looked at the emperor and asked with a smile: "If I say that I did this out of the belief and pursuit of scholars, do you believe it or not?" ”

"Faith?" When the emperor heard this, he raised his head and looked at Lu Heng, who was smiling slightly, and wanted to say that he didn't believe it. But, after thinking about it, he didn't seem to know what to say, so after smiling, he stroked his beard and said, "Tell me, what kind of belief it is!" ”

In fact, in his heart, Lu Heng was not too enthusiastic about the belief and pursuit of the scholar. However, at this moment, only this belief and pursuit can be used as the answer to the question.

After thinking about it, Lu Heng smiled slightly, and said lightly as he walked: "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations." ”

After that, Lu Heng's footsteps stopped slightly, turned his head, looked at the emperor whose expression had become serious, laughed, nodded and said to himself: "Well, that's it!" ”

Looking at the scholar in front of him, behind him, the emperor was dumbfounded, and shook his head with a smile. groped his chin, thinking back to the scholar's words just now with the world in mind and lofty eyes. Although the emperor had a teasing smile on his face, he couldn't help but be infected by the grandeur of those words.

Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations.

Oh, what a big breath.

But...... The Emperor rubbed his chin, tilted his head and laughed.

"What did Yongzheng just say?" Wu Ningyuan, who had been talking to the Zhan guards just now, came over, saw the imperial brother laughing so uninhibitedly, and then looked at the scholar who walked ahead, although it was difficult, but still very strong The scholar who refused to be helped by others. In doubt, he leaned over and asked.

The emperor shook his head with a smile and looked up at the scholar in front of him, bathed in the sun and his clothes fluttering. With a look of appreciation in his eyes, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I, I have heard the most false truth since I ascended the throne!" ”

The most false truth?

When Wu Ningyuan heard this, his eyes were blank.

The most false truth, what is this?

…… Following Zhanxiong, the three of them, escorted by the army, walked into a deep valley.

In the valley, the trees are tall and dense, overgrown with weeds, and the stream is babbling. The cobblestones under your feet are slippery and difficult to walk. The road was rough, and the team had to slow down.

There's no way, the three masters are competing more than the other.

The emperor wanted to rest or let the guards help him walk together, but after seeing the two guys walking in front of him, the emperor was furious and gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.

The accompanying samurai were full of melancholy in their eyes, looking at the three people who were guarded by them, staggering.

"Childe, I'll come!" During the long march, Agui couldn't bear it at first. Seeing that the robes on the child's body were torn by thorns, Ah Gui stopped and said to Lu Heng. Before Lu Heng could agree, this guy directly stretched out his arm and picked Lu Heng up by the waist. Tap your feet and walk forward lightly.

"Damn, Agui, you're doing this trick again. Can you change your position? ”

In the deep mountains and forests, Lu Heng's voice of grief and indignation came.

Behind him, Zhan Xiong and the others glanced at it in amazement, then turned their heads and looked at the emperor and Wu Ningyuan with a flattering smile.

"Up!" Zhanxiong chuckled and waved his hand to the soldiers.
