Verse 19: The City of Bitterness

On the morning of the second day of Xu Wanjin's arrival, Liu Qingshan accompanied him on a tour of the expanding Dream Factory.

After seeing the actual functions of Yang Gun, Yang Cannon, Sanhua, and Protector. Xu Wanjin was excited like a child, look at this, touch that. Of course, Liu Qingshan would not let him see "devouring", not to mention the factor that it can be mass-produced, this kind of yuan weapon that has been out of the category of weapons and is of great help to cultivation is a single piece, and it is also the dream of monks. If the "devouring" is made public to the world now. What will greet the Red Mountain?

Xu Wanjin took the 'protector' in his hand and Liu Qingshan's cunning bargaining, at this time, General Liu and Xu Xuanwei, there was also the shadow of a big man, and he became exactly the same as an ordinary profiteer. Xu Wanjin said that this should be simple! Liu Qingshan said, it's not what you think! The two of them are like this, cutting or lifting openly and secretly.

The dog had seen enough of the painless temptation of the two people, so he went back to the cave to practice alone.

In the afternoon, the whole garrison held the first labor conference organized by the empire since entering the Red Mountain. The conference claimed that the garrison was renamed the Hongshan Army from the original Luoshui Garrison Army, and was directly led by the Military Aircraft Department. Liu Qingshan was the commander of the Red Mountain Army, and the entire army was distributed according to the Imperial Palace's front guards. Liu Qingshan was named a former general of the military aircraft department, and he was a third-class officer. The former Huang Biaojun Liu Shan, the deputy staff member of the palace in front of the military aircraft department, is the fourth product. The fire has no image, the wind occupies the clouds, and the iron magnolia seals the military aircraft in front of the palace, from the four products. Su Ping, Yu Culture, the front guard of the palace, is the fifth product. Dipping hair, Xie Yuanhui, and the martial arts style in front of the palace are from the six products. Ding Hai and a large number of low-level generals of the garrison army were named former captains of the palace, and they were seven grades. Later, a group of low-level outstanding soldiers were canonized, and the official was named the cavalry captain in front of the palace, and the samurai in front of the palace, below the eighth grade, so I won't count them one by one here.

As for the dog, due to the special situation, Liu Qingshan, Xu Wanjin and others consulted the dog, and they were registered as the young apprentices of the Luoshui Refining Instrument Union. After Xu Wanjin returns to Beijing, he will make a different statement.

At this time, almost everyone of the generals of the Red Mountain Army soared a few levels. The venue came to an end on the evening of August 30, 379 A.D., amidst cheers.

On September 11, Tie Magnolia returned to the Red Hill camp with the detachment. A simple path leading from the camp to the west of the empire was completely opened after the Red Mountain Army lasted two months, killing 251 people and wounding 192 people. On September 9, Tie Yulan was at the westernmost end of the Red Mountain and met with Li Zilu, the garrison of Xiza.

After learning that Tie Yulan had returned to the camp, the dog went to Feng Zhanyun's camp as soon as possible, and Mao Mao broke into it like that. Then he was thrown out by Iron Magnolia.

Feng Zhanyun buttoned the last button, reached out and pulled up the dog on the ground and said, "Does it hurt!" Come and take a look at Uncle Wind! "A little distressed to touch the dog's head.

The dog is now a first-level cultivator, and the iron magnolia itself is also measured. The dog patted the dust on his body, pouted and raised his eyebrows and said to Feng Zhanyun, "It doesn't hurt!" ”

Looking at the dog's pitiful appearance, Feng Zhanyun muttered in his heart, this crazy woman! I always like to strip naked and do that, and I don't look at where it is, and the dog is still young.

At this time, Tie Yulan also got dressed and walked out of the tent.

Before Tie Yulan could speak, the dog timidly said to Tie Yulan at the entrance of the tent, "Aunt Tie! I didn't see anything! Two small hands waved wildly in front of him. It's cute.

Feng Zhanyun and Tie Yulan looked at each other, and the scene looked a little awkward.

"Don't talk nonsense about today's events! You know? Tie Magnolia looked intimidating.

The dog nodded happily, "Yes!" I didn't see anything."

β€œγ€γ€γ€γ€γ€β€

Putting his hand on the dog's neck artery, feeling the abundant yuan force in the meridians when the dog was doing the exercises, Tie Yulan could be sure that the probability of success in condensing the pill like the dog was almost 100%.

"Use the Chongjing Qi Closing Technique in your exercises," Tie Yulan said calmly to the dog in the exercises.

The breath-holding formula is a set of mantras unique to each set of exercises, which is mainly used for rushing to the realm.

In addition to the qi holding formula, there are also practice mantras, mudras, meridian route diagrams of various realms, return qi formulas, and adverse qi formulas.

The dog followed the breath-holding formula in the exercise to restrain the faster and faster Yuan Force running speed. Yuan Li was in a state of imprisonment in the meridians for a moment. The Yuanli light spots in the air were still pouring into the dog's skin. Slowly, I felt that the meridians were about to burst, and the breath-holding formula had been running for a week.

Tie Magnolia reminds "the trick of changing careers!" ”。

When the dog switched the formula, he felt that the yuan force in the meridians, like a great river, rushed towards the dantian.

"Boom!" The dog only felt dizzy in his brain, and then he listened to Tie Yulan's reminder "Hold your breath!" ”。

As soon as the dog ran the breath-holding technique, he felt that he was about to rush out of the dantian's vitality, and suddenly it turned into a rotating spiral nest, spinning wildly in the dantian.

Tie Yulan wiped the sweat on her head, relaxed for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "After the breath-holding technique, perform the exercises for a week, Yuanli will go to the Dan room, and then have a breath-holding technique!" Cycle! ”。 Then he walked out of the tent, leaving the dog alone to do the work.

Tie Yulan walked out of the camp tent and beckoned to Feng Zhanyun, who was protecting the Dharma not far away, and when Feng Zhanyun walked in front of him, he lowered his voice and said, "Who is that inner armor who gave him land?" ”

Unbuttoned it, he pointed to the 'protector' on his body and said, "This! ”。

Feeling the 'protector' with her hand, Tie Yulan said with a little surprise, "What is this?" ”

"Come, come, come! Cut me with a knife! Cut me! Nothing! Cut! When he saw Tie Yulan pull out the pear blossom, Feng Zhanyun said in a panic, "Don't use pear blossoms, use ordinary knives, don't use Yuan Liao!" Then he threw his saber to Iron Magnolia.

Tie Yulan took Feng Zhanyun's saber, first slashed a few times tentatively, and after discovering the divine effect of the 'protector', she slashed at Feng Zhanyun with a wild slash.

This was followed by a howl like a pig killing by the wind and clouds: "Oops! You dead aunt! Hack Lao Tzu to death, why are you so energetic? ”

When the dog woke up from his cultivation, it was already past noon, his stomach was empty, and he felt a little hungry. When I walked out of Feng Zhanyun's tent, I saw Feng Zhanyun and his wife on both sides of the tent. Feng Zhanyun was still a little upset about Tie Yulan's wild slashing with a knife, and he was unhappy. Iron Magnolia was counting her fingers as boredly as she was fine.

Seeing the dog come out, Tie Yulan was the first to rush up, "Haha! A seven-year-old martial arts realm cultivator, that kid of the family is no more! ”

"Thank you, Aunt Tie!" The dog has a sweet mouth.

"That! What's going on here? Temagnolia pointed to the dog's inner armor.

The dog pulled Tie Yulan's ears and whispered in a voice that only Tie Yulan could hear, "I also left one for Aunt Tie, Brother Qingshan said that he couldn't let others know!" Wait until you have the materials to do it for Uncle Feng, keep it secret! Can't say it! At the same time, from time to time, he peeked at the angry Feng Zhanyun not far away.

Tie Yulan nodded incessantly, and then kissed the dog on the face a few times.

The dog and Feng Zhanyun made love for a while, and then hopped back to Xishan.

Outside the tent, Tie Yulan suddenly realized a question, can this inner armor keep the secret against Feng Zhanyun?

In fact, 'Devouring' only makes use of the natural devouring properties of the Black Tree, and its difficulty in making it is far less complicated than that of 'Protector'. It's just that the dog doesn't want too many people to know about the existence of 'devouring', and he really doesn't have many auxiliary materials for making two kinds of inner armor, let alone equipping a troop. So far, 'Devouring' has made 5 pieces, he, Liu Qingshan, Su Ping, Huo Wuxiang, Tie Magnolia, and one each. 'Protector' made a little more, and that was only 10 pieces. Then there were no auxiliary potions.

On September 14, the path opened by the detachment led by Tie Yulan was named 'The Way Out'. Wool with 800 soldiers, more than 200 hunters and some craftsmen, entered the way out of the garrison.

On the 16th, the empire rewarded the materials of the Hongshan Army, and Li Zilu, the garrison of Xiza, personally led the team to transport them to Hongshan. There are as many as 500 escorts. Looking at the carloads of fine iron, military uniforms, food, weapons, and news birds that could not be seen、、、 Hongshan camp was completely boiling.

At this point, the contest between Xu Wanjin and Liu Qingshan has also come to an end. In the end, Liu Qingshan agreed to process for the empire. 'Sanhua' is only equipped with one arrow, with 10 catties of fine iron and 120 silver coins, and the first batch is expected to produce 20,000 pieces. 'Yang Pao' costs 300 gold coins each, and the first batch of 1,000 pieces will be produced. 'Yang Lance' is 40 gold coins each, and the first batch of 30,000 pieces is produced. The 'Protector' only talked about the price of 70 gold coins per set, and as for the production, Liu Qingshan said that he would talk about it when the materials were ready. In fact, the main reason is that I am afraid that the formula will be taken away by someone with a heart. In this negotiation, there is a dog in the middle, and he can say anything. and the dog's black and white faces, stunned Xu Wanjin.

Looking at the order in his hand, Xu Wanjin forced his heart to be ecstatic. The whole order 'Sanhua', 'Yang Gun', and 'Yang Cannon' are not the top things in the Northern Continent now. But this was done by his own 1.74 million gold coins plus 200,000 catties of refined iron. This is also Liu Qingshan, they don't understand, if they are put in the hands of those soldiers in the empire, there will only be 20,000 'three flowers' and no 3 million gold coins, who will make it for you? Let's not talk about the cost, as far as the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War, the Military Aircraft Department, and the Quartermaster Department of the Defense Department,、、、、 the tea money of each yamen is not only the 120,000 gold coins plus 200,000 fine iron. The whole thing is given for nothing.

My heart blossomed, but my face pretended to be painful. Pouted, patted the list Liu Qingshan listed, and said, "General Liu!" Lord Liu! 1,740,000 that! ”。

Liu Qingshan is happier in his heart, money does not mean much to Hongshan, to put it bluntly, it is so that the refugees can have hope. Now that you have a way out, if you don't have a way out and wait for the food to run out, you will have money again, what can you do? When he first came to Red Mountain, the soldiers were hungry and wanted to eat the corpses of the Blue Horse people, and he saw more than once that some soldiers were playing with copper coins as darts.

Besides, he did feel that he had made a lot of money on this deal. revitalized this stagnant water and revitalized the life of the entire Red Mountain camp. Can you not be happy! It's already dozens of times the profit! How much more do you have to earn? This dog feels that he has made too much money, and he is afraid that Xu Wanjin will slap his ass and leave. How do they know anything like the Military Aircraft Department, the Treasury Division, and so on?

On the 18th, Xu Wanjin, Gou'er, Ding Hai, Tie Yulan, and his party led a team to leave Hongshan and march towards Kyoto. After the dog and the others left, Liu Qingshan also took Xie Yuanhui and Wu Xiaoman out of the Hongshan camp.

The dog went to Kyoto to buy auxiliary potions for 'devouring' and 'protector'. Second, the empire summoned Liu Qingshan to face the saint, because the current situation is not clear enough, Liu Qingshan is somewhat dangerous. Although the probability is very small, aren't the words that the emperor once said still there! As soon as the emperor rushed to cut you Liu Qingshan, even if it was two estimates, he would not blink.

Huo Wulike finally agreed that the dog would take this trip, and as the young apprentice of the Dog Refining Guild, the empire should not be difficult for him. The King of the Fair Mountain, who protects the country, has used the news to come several times, and he also wants to meet Gou'er, a little refiner who is only seven years old. Everyone used the recent Blue Ma Xihai Cavalry to harass Hongshan from time to time, and Liu Qingshan, as the main general, couldn't get rid of his body, so they let Gou'er and Tie Yulan enter Beijing to face the saint.

The current road out of Hongshan has only been a few days and is very different from before, not to mention that the road is wider, and the road surface has also been pressed by the soldiers who come and go. Along the way, there are many outposts and arrow towers of the Red Mountain Army.

Tie Yulan looked at the change in the way out in front of her, as if she was saying to herself, "It's so fast!" ”

Gou Er looked at Tie Magnolia, who was very emotional, and said seriously, "There is no road on the ground!" When there are more people walking, it becomes a road. ”

"Hmmm! Wonderful! Wonderful! It's wonderful! Xu Wanjin seemed to be still silent in the dog's words just now, and the whole person was nervously admiring.

The dog's heart says! Can you be good? This is the famous sentence of my grandfather Lu Xun. It's nice to cross!

In less than two days, everyone walked out of the Red Mountain, rested in the west for a day, and took the pole.

7 days later, the dog looked at the city wall in front of him, it was too tall, he had seen the city wall of Luoshui, and he thought it was quite high at the time, but compared with the current city wall, the gap was not half a star. The whole city wall is 25 meters high, a hanging cyan bricks, the mottled wall bricks are not only the height of the city wall, but also piled up a kind of simple and heavy vicissitudes. The city gate is more than six meters high, and it is almost up to the city wall of Luoshui. On the brick wall on the top of the city gate, there is a white side, and there are three quaint big characters inside, and the dog points to the big characters and shouts without thinking, "The city is bitter!" ”。

"It's the City of Bitterness!" Xu Wanjin corrected it seriously.
