Chapter 235: The old man is from the mountains

On the spacious official road, the center of the road is slightly lower than the two sides, and it is obvious that it has just been built, and after walking through those stone bridges, the traces of construction can still be seen on the piers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A tall horse strolls along the official road, sometimes lowering its head to enjoy the grass, and sometimes reaching the endless canal to drink water to quench its thirst. It went up and down, and others thought it was a wild horse, but when they got closer, they saw a thin old man lying on the horse's back.

The old man rested his hands on the horse's neck, as if lying on the ground, and no matter how the mount tossed, he was as steady as Mount Tai.

When they reached the stone bridge, the indulgent mount mischievously passed under the bridge, and the tall body carried the old man to the bridge deck.

"Good beast, the old man rescued you from the sea of suffering, let you eat grass all the way and walk slowly, and framed the old man like this, be careful to send you to Xianyang to fill the army."

"Tick Rhythm"

The mount roared dissatisfied, and the old man's forehead hit the bridge with a slight rise.

"Bang"

The old man rubbed his head in pain, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "The stone arch bridge, which is material-saving and durable, was really built by him." If you have this craft, you can't go to any country to be happy, but you want to be the king of Qin, the son of Naraush. ”

The old man is Zhao Zheng's master carpenter, a generation of Mo family masters. When he was in Yixian, he was coerced to leave by Peng Li, a master of the Mo family, and was imprisoned for many years at the headquarters of the Mo family in Tianzhu Mountain, and took the opportunity to escape not long ago.

I left before because I was afraid that the Mo family would make trouble for Zhao Zheng, and Zhao Zheng's power at that time could not compete with the Mo family, which had been in business for a hundred years. However, now that Zhao Zheng is the king of Qin, he holds the army of tigers and wolves, and the Zhou and Chu coalition forces have been defeated, so why not be afraid of the Mo family.

The carpenter took out the water bladder and poured it, and the freshly brewed green ant wine, accompanied by mint and fresh orange, tasted very good. The first drink is like ice, and when it is in the stomach, it is like boiling water, and there is a fragrance in the stomach.

"One wine and three flavors, only that kid can come up with it, and he doesn't know what to put in his brain."

The carpenter escaped this time and found a strange thing, and after walking a short distance, he found that a Taoist cave was close to the Mo family's main altar.

Taoism is good at talking about heaven and man, advocating the rule of inaction, small countries and widows, Mojia advocates non-aggression and love, Ming ghosts are close to the people, the two factions are very different, how can they be neighbors, and that cave has obviously existed for a long time.

Not only that, but he also saw that the oracle that came a hundred years ago had a structure very similar to the diode that Zhao Zheng had described to him at the beginning.

At that time, Zhao Normal said that he himself came from a distant alien planet, how advanced technology was, people could fly in the sky, swim in water, and get on a smoking car, whistling like the wind.

Such a rich imagination, it's a pity not to be a bard.

At first, the carpenter was only interested in some structures of Zhao Zheng's mechanical arts, but this time when he returned to Mo's house, he gradually discovered something different, and got closer and closer to the world described by Zhao Zheng.

Isn't it God that there really is a visitor from heaven in the world?

The carpenter's head, which has lived for more than a hundred years, is like a pot of paste in an instant, and he needs to find Zhao Zheng quickly and correspond to the facts that he once regarded as a fantasy.

As the saying goes, ride a donkey to read a record book, in fact, it is not, lying on the back of a horse to enjoy the scenery, the scenery is more beautiful, as long as the mount does not run wildly suddenly, the tongue must be fine when singing.

After a month of stop-and-go, the carpenter finally came to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, and he happily jumped off his horse, wanting to enter the city but was stopped.

"Where did you come from, what did you do in Xianyang?"

The dutiful soldier asked with a serious expression as he held the carpenter to the side of the crowd. It was not that the soldiers were treated differently, but the carpenter was dressed too unusually, and it was already in the summer of June, and he was still wearing sheepskin and shoulders, and the straw sandals on his feet had fallen off, and a puff of dust was raised on the road.

"People from the mountains, I haven't been to Xianyang, come and see, by the way, look at my apprentice, the old man still expects him to support the elderly."

"People in the mountains go to relatives?"

The soldier looked him up and down, saw that he was in rags, and nodded and asked him to go over and line up, but the city gate officer, who had been sleeping soundly, stared at the horse with his eyes intended.

A tall horse, fat and strong, an authentic Dawan good horse, at least four taels of gold.

"It's done, it's done", the city gate official rubbed his hands, walked to the carpenter, and put his fat and greasy hands between the man and the horse.

"Wait, did the official say let you go? Your old man's behavior is quite suspicious, not to mention that he is dressed in winter clothes in June and summer, but he is in rags but leading a good horse, and honestly confess, is this horse stolen or robbed? ”

Don't ask if it is, but ask the way, the usual trick of the knife and pen officials to frame people, ordinary people were frightened by the previous call, and they were already dizzy at this time, saying that stealing is stealing, and it is not wrong to rob.

However, what a carpenter, he has seen this little trick, and Zhao Zheng's ghost idea of fooling him when he was doing coolies is more than a hundred times more clever than this.

"Back to my lord, the old man's horse was indeed not bought, but it was definitely not stolen and robbed, but someone lost the old man's donkey and paid off the debt."

"Hahaha"

The city gate official seemed to have heard the funniest joke, laughed out of pain, pointed to the carpenter and said repeatedly: "What nonsense, how can there be a horse in the world to pay for the donkey business, you are stupid to be the official." ”

The carpenter nodded.

"Bold, you dare to insult this official, drag me down and keep me under strict supervision, this old man is a spy sent by the Zhou people."

If you can't take it by skill, you can simply grab it. The city gate official is also an old man, grabbed the reins of the horse, and threw his butt to his waist, which was called a surprise, and the thin point couldn't do it at all.

"Oops"

Stepping on the iron plate, the city gate official only felt that he had hit a mountain and fell backwards to the ground. I thought about it with my hand on the ground, but I felt that it was slippery and greasy between my fingers, but it was the dung that the horse had just pulled. I just wanted to have a hunch, and it happened to be in the hands of the city gate officer.

"It's against you, you dare to attack this official, come here, give it to me, and slaughter these two spies."

With a pile of fresh horse manure on his hands, the city gate officials lost the interest in asking for the horse, and felt that they had lost face, and they had to see some blood to wash away their shame.

Seeing this, although the guards knew that the carpenter was innocent, they were forced to draw their swords one after another, holding Changge, and approaching the carpenter.

"If you have something to say, why do you use knives and guns."

The carpenter seemed to be begging for mercy, dodging left and right to avoid the Chang Ge sword, clasping his fists with both hands, and the dark luck of true qi shook several people.

"Oops"

After a while, the gate of the city lay down, and the gate official hid behind a cart that entered the city to sell firewood, carefully guarding against the carpenter.

"Mother, I'm so unlucky today, but I bumped into a crazy old man."

"Hey, why are you hiding here, my lord?"

A middle-aged man who looked like a farmer was shocked, and the city gate official was shocked, slandering these people for being disobedient to the king, but he was suddenly kicked, but it was the horse that kicked it.

It's not a big deal to watch the excitement, it's definitely human nature. Seeing the carpenter's old body, he picked up more than a dozen soldiers, and beat the annoying city gate officials to forgive. They stopped their tracks, stood aside and watched with relish, and commented from time to time, like a stage play.

"Who dares to make trouble at the gate of Xianyang City in broad daylight?"

The gatekeeper was ravaged by the horse, and suddenly he heard a rebuke, and when he looked up, he could not help but be overjoyed.

"Stinky old man, you're going to die today."

The carpenter also stopped his hand, took out the wine bag and poured it, squinted at the car in front of him, nearly 100 people guarded in front and behind, a flag was planted behind the wide four-wheeled carriage, and the word "Lu" was unfurled by the wind from time to time.
