Chapter Ninety-Nine: Participation
As soon as the craftsmen heard that Mo was different, there was a way to save everyone's lives, and they quickly knelt down and shouted "Long live".
Mo Ti instructed the group to mix sand, clay, lime powder and water together in a certain proportion, and then piled the mixed mud directly into the city wall.
Many craftsmen wondered if such a wall made of mud could withstand the impact of an iron cone. These craftsmen did not know that lime absorbs carbon dioxide and turns into calcium carbonate, and that sand and gravel contain a lot of quartz, which, together with clay, constitutes a standard triad. When lime encounters water, it expands rapidly, squeezing the otherwise loose sand and gravel together. The walls thus made are so hard that they can be used as whetstones.
In less than half a day, the five-mile-long city wall rose from the ground. Because the lime is white, from a distance, this sturdy section of the city wall is snow-white, as if it was cast from a single piece of white marble, and it is extremely dazzling and magnificent in the sunlight.
The overseer brought the iron cone and struck it so hard that not only could it not be wedged into the wall, but also knocked the tip of the iron cone blunt. All the craftsmen present immediately rejoiced. Everyone knelt at Mobi's feet and kowtowed reverently as if worshipping a god. Murda on the side really admired it in his heart. This KitKat senior brother is really a genius, and he actually pinched sand to make a city, which is even more divine than Lu Ban.
Mo's different divine work alarmed the king of Lou Fu. He sent the army and horse commander with an iron cone to prepare for experiments on this section of the city wall. The capital of Loufu was a sensation, and everyone rushed to see this magical sand wall. This military horse captain is also known as the first wrestler of Lou Fu, and he has tried several places in a row, and the city walls are impregnable. The whole capital was boiling, and it was known that there was a man of God who could make a wall out of sand that was harder than an iron cone.
When the king of Lou Fu heard the news, he summoned Mo Wei, and Mo Da, Mo Han, Mo Di, Mo Heng and Chun Yuyi also came to the palace of Lou Fu Wang.
Although Lou Annoying people are a grassland people, they have been dealing with the Central Plains for a long time, and their aristocratic life is also deeply influenced by Han culture. Especially after Meng Tian led the Qin army to occupy the entire Hetao, he became Lou Fu's neighbor. His strategy of military assault, political pacification, and cultural erosion has always been a strategy of military assault, political appeasement, and cultural erosion. It is impossible to compete with Great Qin with the national strength of Lou Fu, and gradually it has become a de facto subject country of Great Qin. Meng Tian also sent a counselor to King Lou Fu to help him deal with state affairs. This participation is like the posture of the emperor, and even the idea of burying the city builder alive was from him.
Murda wondered as he walked towards the palace of the King of Loufu. The whole palace is built like a palace in the Central Plains, and the breath of the grassland people cannot be seen at all. Besides, when he had just followed the construction of the city, he muttered in his heart, does the people on horseback need a city to provide protection? His greatest strength was his galloping horses, accurate riding and archery, and shining scimitars, and now that they were all encircled in one city, wouldn't they be a turtle in an urn? Is this annoying king stupid or what?
I was wondering if they had come to the council hall of the King of Loufu. This hall is also similar to the Ming Hall of the Son of Heaven of the Central Plains Dynasty, and the king of Lou Fu sits on the throne in the middle of the hall. Looking at the clothes on King Lou Fu's body, except for the hat or the grassland felt hat made of fox skin, they are already the Central Plains clothes with wide robes and big sleeves.
There was another seat beside King Lou, and on it sat a man who was also dressed in a wide robe and big sleeves. This person was dressed as a Qin person, with a golden crown on his head and a sour expression.
Before the king of Lou Fu could speak, he said to this person
"See, if you have anything to say, just ask. As for how to deal with it, you just have an idea, with your Daqin ginseng, we will definitely not take a detour. ”
Looking at the respectful appearance of the annoying king on this floor, he seemed to be very afraid of this Great Qin Counselor. This attendant was not polite, but he just stood up and bowed his hand to the king of Lou, perfunctory in etiquette, and said to Mo Ming, who was standing below
"I heard that you built the walls out of sand, clay, and lime? It's not a small thing. I really didn't see that there were such talents in this vast grassland. What's your name? ”
Mo Dazhi Dao Daqin and the Xiongnu have always been in a state of war, which can be described as incompatible. If this Great Qin Counselor knew their identities, it was likely that his life would be lost. Looking at King Lou Fu's attitude towards the Senate, he knew that Lou Fu must be on the side of Daqin, so he couldn't show his identity now. He was afraid that Mo would reveal his identity by talking nonsense, so he preemptively said
"This is the Mono ...... of Buyeo Country"
"I'm asking him! Not you! ”
Murda's words were rudely interrupted by the attendant. Mo Dazhi said that now is not the time to be a hero, so he has to hope that Mo Wei will not say the wrong thing. Mo Wei heard Mo Da say that he was from Buyeo, but he really didn't understand the intention in his heart, thinking that his wife was a Buyeo people, which meant that he was too? So he replied
"I'm Mo Different."
The senator looked at it for a while and said
"You've got a good name, isn't that different? That's the same meaning, right? ”
"Lao Tzu is Mozi's ink, don't change it for me. Who are you? ”
Mo Wei has always spoken straightforwardly, no matter what kind of king Lao Tzu he is, in his heart, he only obeys the master and Mo Da, and only obeys and respects the two of them. The senate guards on both sides stopped working, and they all drew their swords and unsheathed them and broke off in unison
"Bold! How can you talk to our senators? Dare to call yourself Lao Tzu to the participants! Looking for death, isn't it?! ”
The participant was not angry, waved his hand to stop the guards from committing murder, and spoke to Mo in a kind tone
"He who has great ability in everything has a big temper. You can build a city with sand, which in itself is a great skill. It seems that this is not your average craftsman. So who's the head in your group? ”
Mo didn't blurt out
"Brother Murda, of course! He's the envoy who sent a big order to annoy Lou! ”
Murda almost fainted after hearing this. Thinking that this ink is different, he doesn't use his brain, and his purpose of hiding his identity is completely bankrupt. King Lou Fu and Shen Cheng were a little surprised when they heard that there was a Xiongnu envoy here. King Lou hurriedly got up to greet him
"It turned out that the Hun envoy came, and he didn't say anything, thinking that you were a craftsman, and he actually worked for half a day, which is really rude."
Moda covered his chest with his hand and wrote a poem about the grassland greeting
"It's easy to say, it's all a misunderstanding. It is also our honor to help King Lou Fu build a section of the city wall. ”
King Lou was very polite
"Where, where, what you said made me embarrassed. It's no wonder that Mo is not able to pinch sand to build a city, and he dares to be a capable person around the Hun envoy. Admire, admire, admire. ”
The attitude of the annoying king does not seem to have any hostility. Moda knows very well that this country is a small country, with Great Qin in the south and the Xiongnu in the north, and it has to survive in the cracks and have to be offended on both sides. However, Lou Fu's attitude made Mo Da breathe a sigh of relief, if Da Qin wanted to deal with him, King Lou Fu should come forward to protect him. Because he is also a special envoy of the Huns, the two armies are fighting against each other, not to mention that behind him is the re-emerging Huns.
Unexpectedly, King Lou didn't speak, and he spoke
"King Lou Fu. How come you are also the king of a country, and you need to stand up to greet the envoys of other countries? Don't lose your kingship! ”
Hearing this, King Lou Fu didn't dare to greet Mo Da anymore, so he hurriedly returned to his throne, pretended to cough a few times, and said
"What is the reason why the envoy is bothering me this time?"
At this time, there was no longer so much politeness in the words, and the tone was all diplomatic rhetoric. Mo Da was shocked in his heart, how could this Great Qin Counselor have such a great deterrent power. The dignified King of Lou Fu was so afraid, this person not only spoke unpolitely to King Lou Fu, but also changed King Lou Fu's attitude towards the Xiongnu envoy with a word. Is this building troublesome king afraid to participate in this person? Or are you afraid of the national prestige of Great Qin? Or is it both? This was something he hadn't expected at all before he came to the building. He replied to the king of Lou annoyance
"I, the Great Huns, have just accepted the Yue Clan as our vassal state. A few days ago, he won a great victory in the eastward expedition to Donghu. Now Mao Dun Da Dan Yu can be said to be the leader of the leading countries on the grassland, and this time I was sent to reconcile with your country, and we will form a strategic alliance to deal with the enemy together. ”
Moda said as he stared at King Lou and the senator. Seeing that King Lou's eyes lit up when he heard about the alliance, Moda understood that King Lou Fu was very interested in the Xiongnu's proposal. But the senator didn't wait for King Lou to answer, so he said categorically
"How is that possible?! Lou Fu has the protection of Daqin, what other allies do you need?! ”
King Lou Fu lowered his head and said no more. Looking at this situation, it should be that Lou Fu has really become a vassal state of Great Qin, at least what agreement has been made. The senator looked at Murda and said
"Lou Fu is no longer the Lou Fu of the past, and now with the help of Daqin, Lou Fu has faded away from the wild skin. Now clothing, food, housing, and transportation have been on par with Daqin, and the so-called bundle is on the same track as the Wenche, so that Lou Fu can enjoy all the resources of Daqin. You tell me? Lou Fu Wang. ”
Lou annoyed Wang Wei promised
"That's right, since you came, educate the people of the Quartet, so that they will no longer drink blood and live the same life as the people of Great Qin. Now I live in a warm house, no longer a tent that can be blown away by strong winds. Wearing Daqin's light silk cotton clothes, there is no need to wear heavy leather clothes. The life in the Central Plains, which we have always envied, has been enjoyed by relying on the gifts of Daqin and you. ”
The senator ignored Lou's flattering remarks and asked
"Daqin has already helped you defeat the Aries King, so please let the King of Lou Fu talk about it himself, do you still need the protection of other powerful forces?"
"No, no, with Daqin as the backing, what more protection do we need? With the assistance and protection of Great Qin, the Aries King has already served. Lou Fu is now safe and accepts Daqin's guidance. ”
Murda looked at the appearance of King Lou Fu, and really felt sad for this country. How can a living grassland people actually learn to live like the people of the Central Plains, and even their own culture and traditions will be lost? !
But there is a lot of information in these words. Lou Fu has already defeated the Aries Kingdom with the help of Great Qin, and it seems that Lou Fu and Aries have already mastered the range of Qin's power. Daqin is really powerful, not only got the Hetao area under Meng Tian's strategy, but now he has also deeply implanted his tentacles in the north of the Hetao. It seems that Daqin's ambition is not small, and he will not be able to take this grassland in a few years.
Now that Moda is in a stalemate, the Great Qin Senate is so strong, and the King of Lou Fu does not express his position, as the envoy of the Huns, he cannot enter or retreat. The whole scene is very embarrassing, even if there is a topic to decipher this frozen atmosphere.
No one noticed that there was a guard wearing a golden helmet by his side. The guard's golden helmet was attached to a black cloth mask, and the man's face could not be seen clearly, but judging by his stature, he was a tall, well-proportioned young man.
The guard had been standing beside him like Mount Tai with the handle of his sword, and had been listening to what had happened in the council hall, but his eyes had been fixed on Mo Han.
