Qiu Yizhi's eyes rolled, and he guessed that the stranger in front of him was the one he entrusted Wen Lingjiao to find, Shi Dajian, the master of tunneling in the Tianzun Sect. Seeing that his expression was very generous, no different from that of an ordinary farmer coolie, he had more trust in his heart, so he opened the lotus and invited Shi Dajian to his house.

This Shi Dajian is really very honest, he is not standing or sitting in the room of Qiuyi, and his two feet can't help but subconsciously shake in place, showing twelve points of restraint.

Qiu Yizhi was amused when he saw it, so he asked him to sit down, poured a glass of water himself, and asked, "You are Master Shi, right?" ”

When Shi Dajian heard this, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." The villain is a man who digs a hole and transports soil, how dare he call a master? ”

Qiu Yi spread his palm and asked him to sit down again, and said, "I am a friend of Miss Wen, please ask Master Shi to come over and help if you have something, and there will be a lot of thanks after the matter is completed!" ”

Shi Dajian hurriedly got up again and said, "The Holy Maiden sent someone to pass the word early this morning. If there is anything, the son will just tell you. ”

Qiu Yizhi invited him to sit down for the third time, and said, "I'm not busy, I'm not busy, I want to ask Master Shi a question first." How could a craftsman like you join the Tianzun Sect? ”

Shi Dajian stood up and replied, "Alas! This is all the ignition of Tianzun in the dark! A few years ago, the villain was still digging coal in Shanshan Road, and he worked hard for a year, but the foreman refused to pay his salary. The little one was angry, so he took a few brothers to the foreman to ask for an explanation. At that time, everyone was young, and they were angry again, and they fought without saying a word. I didn't think that this foreman would die without beating, and I was the leader and was asked by the government for a capital crime. When I was beheaded, the saint happened to pass by, and when she heard that I was wronged, she simply asked a few of her masters to rob the Dharma field and rescue me. Shi Dajian spoke, the anxiety and tension gradually dissipated, and the words became more and more fluent, "The saint has a life-saving grace for the villain, and the little one can't repay him for being a cow or a horse in the next life, let alone this life, so he entered the holy religion, and only asked to serve the saint in front of the saddle and behind the horse." ”

Hearing this, Qiu Yizhi already had a hundred points of trust in Shi Dajian, so he invited him to sit down again and asked, "It is said that Master Shi's ability to drill mountains and make holes is first-class, but is it true?" ”

That Shi Dajian also relaxed, no longer stood up, only scratched his head and replied embarrassedly: "The little one was originally from digging coal, and this mud and sand transporter also knows a little." It's also a shame that I studied in a private school for two years when I was a child, and I know a few words. After entering the Holy Sect, I was fortunate to read several books from the Western Regions. Therefore, in this matter of digging tunnels, I can be regarded as having some experience. Oh, by the way, there's a tunnel in this yard, which is dug by a small one, I don't know if Childe has seen it? ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded and smiled: "I don't know how many times I have been gone, and it is really a good craft." But I don't know how long it will take Master Shi to dig a tunnel. ”

"That's hard to say, the length, manpower, and soil quality are all particular. Does Childe also want to dig a tunnel in the house? Shi Dajian touched his chin and asked.

"Pretty much." Qiu Yizhi asked, "In this capital, how long of a tunnel can Master Shi dig every day with twenty-five strong laborers?" ”

Shi Dajian thought for a moment and said, "Day and night, if the digging strip is only for one person to enter and exit, you can dig fifty steps a day, right?" ”

"Can you be sure where you can dig it?" Qiu Yizhi asked again.

"What is this...... Shi Dajian pondered, "this is difficult, sometimes the two sides are excavated at the same time, and often they can't be together." If you dig with your head covered, with my ability, I will be within a radius of ten or so steps! ”

"Good! Master Shi is really a good means! Qiu Yizhi exclaimed, and asked, "How long does it take to dig a tunnel from outside this Luoyang City?" ”

When Shi Dajian heard this, his face couldn't help but show embarrassment, and he said, "The Holy Sect also called a small digging strip to come from the tunnel inside the city to the outside of the city. The small one thought it was not difficult at the time, but when he dug halfway, he found that the foundation of the Luoyang city wall was two zhang deep, and if he dug it down, he would dig the water veins again...... Alas! It's still a small craftsmanship that is not refined, which disappoints the childe. ”

Qiu Yizhi waved his hand and said, "Since even Master Shi can't do it, presumably others are even more helpless." As he spoke, he was about to continue the conversation with Shi Dajian, but he heard a gentle knock on the courtyard door, so he said to Shi Dajian: "I have something to ask for advice below." Can Master Shi go to the Warm Incense Pavilion to rest first and be dispatched at any time? ”

Shi Dajian said with embarrassment: "A meal in the Warm Fragrance Pavilion is enough for me to work for a year and a half." The girls there are also like fairies. How dare the little ones go there to rest? ”

Seeing that he was speaking honestly and straightforwardly, Qiu Yizhi smiled and took out a few small gold bars the length of his thumb from the package, stuffed them into Shi Dajian's hand, and said, "Although these gold masters Shi go to spend them, they will come to me again when they are not enough." ”

Shi Dajian didn't expect that this son, who had never met before today, would be so generous, and he actually shed tears when he took the gold: "Son, I have never seen so much money in my life!" ”

Qiu Yi sent him out of the room and said, "What is this? When it's done, I'll give you ten times more! With that, he opened the courtyard door himself.

At this time, Qiu Yizhi saw that the person who knocked on the door was the lord of Bohai County, Yiran, and her entourage Yelu, so he hurriedly sent Shi Dajian away, led the two into the courtyard, and closed the gate tightly.

As soon as Yiran entered the door, he glanced around the courtyard and said, "Do you know that the prince was arrested?" Ye Lu and I are looking for you all over the city, but I didn't expect you to be free here, and I sent someone to call me early in the morning. What exactly do you want to do? ”

Qiu Yizhi heard that he said a series of words like a cannonball, and hurriedly answered: "Of course I know about this, and I also asked someone to meet my father-in-law yesterday. I called you here to discuss how to save my father......"

Qiu Yizhi was about to go down, but he heard a person walk out of the hut next to him and said, "It turns out that the county lord is here, and the little girl is polite!" ”

Qiu Yizhi turned his head to look, but it was Wen Lingjiao, the real owner of this courtyard and the saintess of the Tianzun Sect.

Wen Lingjiao wore a lake-blue silk skirt today, put light makeup on her face, and slowly walked in front of the stunned Yiran, with a calm and indifferent smile on her face, and bowed slightly to the Bohai County Lord.

Yi Ran reacted at this time, and did not return the salute to Wen Lingjiao, but said to Qiu Yizhi: "Why is this cult saint here? What are you two doing here? ”

Qiu Yizhi had long known that Yi Ran must be very surprised when he came here to see Wen Lingjiao, and even had some misunderstandings, and was about to explain, but Wen Lingjiao smiled and said: "This is the little woman's house, why can't the little girl be here?" As for the little girl, is it the same as the autumn son...... The two of us have lived here for two or three days, but they are just chanting poems and talking about the world, and the word 'hook' in the mouth of the county lord is very ugly, please take it back! ”

Qiu Yizhi seemed to be deliberately irritating when he heard Wen Lingjiao's words, and he was afraid that this straightforward Fanbang county lord would really fall for this radical method, so he hurriedly made a round and said: "I am disturbing here, and I haven't thanked Miss Wen yet, so I will take this opportunity to thank you first." After that, he bowed deeply to Wen Lingjiao, and said to everyone, "You are either your own masters, or you have different personalities, in short, it is inevitable that there will be some festivals before." But you are all my good friends of Qiu Yizhi, and now they are all here to save my stepfather, Prince Youyan. Therefore, please be able to save my face, put aside your prejudices for the time being, and work together to do this important thing. With that, he waved at everyone again.

The Lord of Bohai County, Yiran, and the Holy Maiden of the Tianzun Sect, Wen Lingjiao, listened to the words of Qiu Yizhi, the righteous son of the King of Youyan, and the two pairs of delicate eyes glanced at each other almost at the same time, and then looked away, and finally stopped speaking.

At this moment, the courtyard door opened again, and everyone raised their eyes to look, but it was Zhao Chengxiao who also came here under the leadership of He'er.

Qiu Yizhi saw that all the people he wanted had gathered here, and he didn't invite everyone into the house, so he said under the big locust tree: "This matter is expensive in the word 'fast', and if you delay it any longer, it will inevitably cause more complications." Therefore, I can only grieve you now, listen to my orders, and if there is any offense, I hope that Haihan will apologize in person in the next day. ”

When he saw that everyone had no objection, he gave an order: "Zhao Chengxiao." When Zhou Cijing came to Beijing, he brought a lot of saltpeter for ice making. When you go to the Guangyang Guild Hall, you will say that I mean it, and you will personally transport this batch of saltpeter here, and there must be no mistake. As he spoke, he took out a famous post from his shirt and handed it to Zhao Chengxiao, "This is the name card given to me by Zhou Cijing, it may be more convenient for you to take this thing to do errands." ”

Zhao Chengxiao took the name card and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Qiu Yizhi again, and said: "You go to the Nuanxiang Pavilion once, and ask your brothers to rest in the pavilion, and the fireworks woman can use some of them, but she can't drink and make mistakes, and she can't go to the street without permission, and those who violate the order will be beheaded immediately!" ”

Zhao Chengxiao nodded vigorously and went to work.

Qiu Yizhi said to Wen Lingjiao again: "Your sect has many believers in Luoyang City. Can you help you buy some charcoal, sulfur, etc.? This charcoal is a common item used by every household, and it is not difficult to obtain. Sulphur can be purchased from pharmacies, but when you buy too much at once, it will inevitably attract attention. But Miss must have a way, and I hope it can be done as soon as possible. In addition, please can you help me inquire where the hundreds of people who came with my stepfather from the capital are being held, and can you get in touch with them? ”

Wen Lingjiao listened, agreed softly, and greeted He'er and whispered a few words in her ear. He'er nodded as she listened, and when Wen Lingjiao finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Qiu Yizhi sent He'er away, and asked Wen Lingjiao: "Can this He'er be trusted?" Don't let anyone see through anything that has gone wrong. ”

Of course, Wen Lingjiao knew who the "who" in Qiu Yizhi's mouth was, so she replied, "It's okay." He'er followed me when she was three years old, and her love was like a sister, and she served me on weekdays and had nothing to do with outsiders, and the whole family was in my hands...... Please rest assured. ”

Qiu Yizhi listened, pursed his lips and thought about it, knowing that he could only choose to trust He'er now, so he had nothing to say, and said to Yiran: "The Bohai Mission brought dozens of stainless steel swords to Beijing as tribute. The county lord, please go back to the Siyi Pavilion first, carefully sort out these treasure swords, and send them here with the secret person, which will be useful in the next place. In addition, the Bohai Mission is requested to pack up their luggage and be ready to leave at any time. ”

When I heard Qiu Yizhi's intention to support myself to leave, I felt quite uncomfortable, but I also knew that now was not the time to be petty, so I squinted at Qiu Yizhi and turned to leave.

So there were only three people left in the courtyard: Qiu Yizhi, Wen Lingjiao and Yelu.

Qiu Yizhi closed his eyes slightly and thought about it, and felt that there was indeed nothing wrong in the strategy, so he said to Yelu: "Brother Yelu, there are some things to do next, can I ask you to accompany me?" ”

Ye Lu smiled heartily and said: "His Royal Highness Yi has something to order, why be polite?" ”

Qiu Yizhi also smiled at it, and said to Wen Lingjiao again: "Then I went out to do errands, and I was wronged that Miss Wen stayed here." ”
