On the high wall, Zhao Tuo was directing his subordinates to build fortifications, first saw the mighty fleet coming from the junction of the sea and the sky, and after a while, he saw a small boat separated from the most powerful one, rowed to the shore, and three people came down from above.

One of them, General Zhao, can be recognized just by looking down at the figure - with a long body, a light posture, and a game in the world, it is him Yang Huanfeng.

The woman beside him was naturally Cai Huan, who had gone all the way to Shizhou with him, Zhao Tuo remembered that the two of them had to be much more separated when they left, one in front of the other, and the distance between the three of them was almost enough, and now, the two walked side by side, no more than a fist apart, but the girl's hands were very regular, swinging like an infantry formation one after the other, and it seemed unlikely that the scene of inadvertently touching each other's hands would occur.

There was also a man behind them, with long, silver-white curls like horsehair, which contrasted sharply with his brown-black complexion. Zhao Tuo speculated that this person was the representative of the city, but the people of the city were ...... It shouldn't be like this.

Seeing the three approaching, General Zhao handed over the matter at hand to the adjutant, stood into the lifting cage himself, shook the bell that hung down to the ground, and the soldiers guarding below unloaded a few bricks from the cage at the other end of the rope with understanding, and with a whoosh, the cages at both ends of the rope rose and fell, the one with bricks rose to the top of the wall, and the one with General Zhao fell to the ground.

Whew-

Zhao Tuo breathed a long sigh of relief, pushed open the cage door, and jumped to the ground, this end of the rope had no weight, and was pulled up in an instant, and the brick at the other end fell heavily.

"It's up to you kid to come up with this thing," Zhao Tuo patted the shoulder of the young soldier on the side and said with a smile, "But no matter how many times I sit, my heart, which has been tempered on the battlefield, will hang in my throat." ”

The young soldier scratched his head shyly and smiled, and suddenly the bell tied with the yellow rope shook and made a rapid sound, and the soldier hurriedly turned around, put the two bundles of wood into the cage, looked up and waved his hand upward, and with a whoosh, the cage for the timber went up, and the cage for the waste came down.

Zhao Tuo stood in place and watched for a while, smiled and shook his head, then turned around and went to the shore to greet the three people.

......

"Uncle Zhao!" Seeing the person from a distance, Yang Huanfeng waved cordially.

Zhao Tuo also waved his hand, he had already recognized the other party from a farther away, thinking of this, Zhao Tuo, as an elder, was a little nameless.

There was no sunset in sight in the weather today, only thick clouds yellowing in gray in the sky, and the waves crashing against the sand relentlessly, over and over again, washing away the footprints of a few people.

"This is my greedy Tiger Wing General, General Zhao Tuo Zhao. Zhao Tuo stopped three steps away in front of the three of them, and Yang Huanfeng turned sideways with understanding and introduced to Cha Liu'er.

Then he changed sides and introduced to Zhao Tuo: "This is the commander of the Chinese fleet of Yu Hu Kingdom, 'Sea Dragon' Cha Liu'er. ”

After finishing speaking, the two of them had seen each other, and Zhao Tuo took three steps left by the party, walked to Cha Liu'er's side, turned around, stretched out his hand to make an invitation, and waited for the latter to bow slightly before taking a step to lead the way.

The four of them walked to the foot of the high wall, looked up, and felt even taller. Yang Huanfeng reached out and touched the wall - it was so smooth that it was impossible to climb it with his bare hands.

"If you want to go up this wall, you have to build a ladder, and you have to build it. Chaliuer on the side sighed.

"It can be made," Zhao Tuo replied, looking at the top of the wall, "That's why we have to garrison it to make sure that the army on the opposite side can't turn over." ”

"Yes, otherwise Uncle Zhao, how would you go up to repair those fortifications. Yang Huanfeng echoed.

"That's not true, if you just climb a ladder and move these building materials up and down. Zhao Tuo said a little proudly.

"Are those cages?" Cai Huan, who had been silently following behind, pointed to a lifting wooden cage and suddenly spoke.

Generally speaking, quiet people pay more attention to details than noisy people, and their energy is not spent on talking or superfluous movements, but on scrutinizing, staring, observing, and thinking, which are not necessarily useful, just as noisy people do not necessarily have a purpose, but are simply an outflow of energy.

When Yang Huanfeng and Cha Liuer's heads were filled with all kinds of diplomatic rhetoric, Cai Huan's energy fell on these wooden cages up and down in the distance - from the time they could see clearly, the four wooden cages went up and down a total of seven times, and the last time the four of them were still some distance from the high wall, so Yang Huanfeng and Cha Liuer should not have noticed.

As the host, Zhao Tuo originally wanted to sell Guanzi, but when Cai Huan asked him like this, he opened half of his mouth and froze for a long time, then laughed dryly twice, and said: "Miss Cai is really insightful, even this can be seen." ”

This is really a false praise, Cai Huan has followed Qi Zuo's envoy to the north and south for many years, the city wall has seen a lot, and it is not nothing higher than this, but those walls are made of bricks and stones, of course, there are also masonry stairs, if the wall is too high, the stairs will be "zigzag" folded several times, and there is indeed no city with this thing on the wall.

Cai Huan shook his head and explained, "When I walked over, I saw someone using it. ”

Zhao Tuo laughed twice when he heard this, thinking that this woman really couldn't chat.

Yang Huanfeng hurriedly rescued the scene and said: "I can't see it, Uncle Zhao, you are a little old-fashioned, but your head is still an elf, such things can be born." He patted Zhao Tuo's shoulder as he spoke, and he didn't look like a junior at all.

"If Commander Cha can be trusted, you might as well take this wooden cage to sit with me. Zhao Tuo ignored him, turned to face Cha Liu'er, and greeted him with a smile.

Hearing this, Charuel nodded, there was no special emotion on his brown and black face, but he was looking forward to it in his heart.

The young soldier guarding the wooden cage opened the door.

"Please," Zhao Tuo said sideways.

Charuel bowed his head slightly, hesitated for a moment, and stepped into the wooden cage.

The remaining three also entered the cage.

The young soldier in charge pulled the bell with the red rope several times, and the soldier at the top of the wall responded and piled bricks into the wooden cage at the other end, and as soon as the bolt was loosened, the wooden cage carrying the four men was raised.

I only felt a strong wind pouring from the top of my head to the soles of my feet like a waterfall, and the bolt on the hanging rope "clicked" and stuck, and the four of them reached the top of the wall.

"How is it, is it much faster than climbing the stairs?" Zhao Tuo smiled and asked the three of them quite proudly.

Whew-

Charul let out a sigh of relief, and his horse's mane was blown away by the wind.

"Good thing, really good thing!" he said with a bold smile, his legs still shaking, but he stepped onto the city wall in one leap.

Compared with Xuan Chen and the empire on the mainland, the city construction of Shizhou is much higher, especially the main city of some giants who love to support the scene - this thing can come in handy in Shizhou, Cha Liuer has already begun to plan in his heart, how to make a lot of money by the elevator after going back, he has already been infected by the atmosphere of Shizhou, and he has become an out-and-out businessman.

"Let's go, let's go to the house and talk. ”

Zhao Tuo stretched out one arm and pointed to the city tower not far away that only had four walls built and was supported by oilcloth on top.
