At the same time, Zhao Liangsan, as a Skywalker, is naturally different from the villagers here, and has a relatively extensive understanding of the outside world, and has also worked in Yangcheng, but later because of the failure of the political struggle, he returned to his hometown to take root, he knows very well that in the south of Yangcheng, among the hundreds of miles of jungle, there is a black iron city, and Yangcheng used to have trade contacts, but more than sixty years ago, a feather man disaster, which separated the two.

Until now, it seems that just recently, the two have established a connection again, Zhao Liangsan has also heard his friends mention this Black Iron City, but how it is, Zhao Liangsan is not clear, after all, he has already faded out of the core circle of Yangcheng, and he has long paid little attention to the things inside, and the arrangement of specific things will naturally not inform him, but at least he knows Black Iron City, and the Holy Alliance, it is impossible to know Black Iron City, after all, this city is hidden in the deep mountains and old forests of hundreds of miles, And the only people in Yangcheng who know about Black Iron City are Skywalkers, as for the other ordinary people, they have already forgotten everything in the long years of more than sixty years.

From a historical point of view, sixty years is just a snap of a finger, but from a personal point of view, sixty years is enough to change a person's view of anything, just like the Chinese living in 2020 probably would not have thought that just seventy years ago, our country was just established, and before that, this country was still an old China, warlords were fighting, foreign powers invaded households, and the people were not happy, but these things seem to have no relationship with today's young people, Perhaps it can only be heard in the memories of the elderly.

Including smart phones, for today's young people, it may be difficult to imagine, just twelve years ago, when people generally used Nokia, Motorola's mobile phones, flip phones are the most popular, and then before, most people don't even have computers at home, many people buy a GBA, then it can be called a star in the eyes of classmates.

The changes of the times, in the long river of history, are just a white horse, but in the individual's body, it is undoubtedly a very long time, not to mention that in this medical level, the health level is obviously worse than the previous life, the average life expectancy of Yangcheng people is actually not much with the Black Iron City, basically about thirty-five years old, it has already reached the time of death, and the renewal of its historical memory is much faster than the previous life, so sixty years, three generations have passed, and those old people have already been buried deep in the ground. How could a new generation of young people remember that there was a city called Black Iron City, and perhaps even if they did, they would only treat it as a legend.

So in Yangcheng, knowing the Black Iron City, and knowing exactly who can contact them, there are basically only the leaders of Yangcheng, and now that Yangcheng is still resisting, it is naturally impossible for the Holy Alliance to know where the Black Iron City is, so if this group of people can report their names, it is naturally only possible to come from the Black Iron City, Zhao Ersan believed their words almost immediately, and then took them to the village.

Some of the houses are built around the cliffs, and they are supported by wooden pillars below and houses above, much like the bridge houses in Jiangnan, except that those houses are built on the river, while here they are built on the cliffs.

Crossing a wooden bridge about 150 meters or so, is the main body of the lonely village, built on a plain, surrounded by lofty mountains, but now these mountains have become terraced fields under the years of the lonely village people, it is now night, it is not clear to see, but if you wait until daytime to see, you can feel the shock.

The lonely village people have no fertile land, they can only put the matter of eating on the mountain, and in the village, there are not many houses, and most of them are wooden houses, it can be seen that the lonely village is indeed as described by the people of Yangcheng, very poor and backward, the whole village, only one place is built of green bricks, Zhao Liangsan took them to the front of this building, and said: "This is the ancestral hall of our lonely village, dedicated to the ancestors, and the elders of our village also live here, I will take you to see him now." ”

Zhang Ruoming and others don't quite understand what is called an ancestral hall, after all, they live under the upbringing system, and after their parents die, they are often sent directly to the cemetery, and the clan consolidated by blood does not exist in Black Iron City, and there is only a little clan concept between the families, but there are not many.

But everyone is not a curious baby, just looking at the building to know that this must be the most important place in the lonely village, and the next person they want to meet will also determine whether their actions will go smoothly in the future, as long as they know this, everyone has taken care of their clothes, and at the same time took out the etiquette of the son of the family, at this time, the etiquette of many people is not to blame, it is undoubtedly the safest.

All the way from the gate in, through the courtyard, corridor, then into a huge square, and then the main body of the ancestral hall, Zhao Liangsan stood at the door and asked them to wait, he went in to report, everyone obediently stayed outside, and did not dare to make any moves, for fear of misunderstanding, Zhao came back after two or three or five minutes, and took everyone inside.

Among the houses, the most eye-catching is naturally the thousands of pieces of xenophobia, from the ground to the ceiling, everywhere, the whole house is lit with more than 100 oil lamps, illuminating the room brightly, Zhang Ruoming thought, these people really attach importance to this building, they have come all the way, but they haven't even seen a little light, now in such a building, it is full of light, which shows the status of the ancestral hall in the isolated village.

Zhao Liangsan bowed to these tablets, Zhang Ruoming and others also followed the ceremony, Zhao Liangsan took them through the back hall, at this time, several old people are standing there, but although it is an old man, the age is only fifty years old, put it in modern times, you have not yet reached the age of pension, but in this era, to live to fifty years old, it is not easy.

And the one in the center is full of white hair, the whole person is rickety, it looks like he only feels a twilight, but there is a light in his eyes, obviously, although the long years have taken away his strength and healthy body, but not his wisdom, and he is also the oldest one in the scene, this year is already the time for him to buy seventy-four in his life. Everyone

Zhao Zhujian stood at the gate with a cane, the wind blowing from the cliff blew his clothes to the sound of hunting, Zhao Liangsan stood in front of him, this man like an iron tower, but at this moment like a student, very respectfully to Zhao Zhujian and other elders bowed, in this era, the longer people live, the more amazing they are.

After all, ordinary people only have a lifespan of thirty-five years, but you can live to seventy-four years old, this is not just by luck, strength, ability, wisdom, luck, all are indispensable, otherwise it is easy to die halfway, and Zhao Zhujian is obviously a ruthless character, Zhang Ruoming and others do not dare to hold it up, imagine that before the Holy Alliance came here, Yangcheng was the only overlord in this area, a small isolated village, with more than 200 people, it was possible to list the territory and achieve independence in the substantive sense, Nominal unity.

You know, there are dozens of Skywalkers in Yangcheng, not to mention hundreds of thousands of people, with such strength, there is no way to help the lonely village, it is conceivable that the existence of the lonely village is not only because of strength and terrain, but more importantly, wisdom, and now in front of the Holy Alliance, the lonely village is still alone, this ability, look at Zhao Ersan, it is obviously not his credit.

His strength may be really strong, but no matter how strong he is, it has not reached the point of going against the sky, one fights two, fights three, this is already the limit, whether it is the Holy Alliance, or Yangcheng, which one does not have ten Skywalkers, if they are together, even if Zhao Liangsan is powerful, it is impossible to win, and this old man may be the answer, Zhang Ruoming bowed very respectfully, and others also followed suit.

"This old gentleman, this visit, came in a hurry, did not bring any gifts, can only use this instrument, chat about his heart, and please smile." Saying that, Zhang Ruoming gave the gift he brought this time to Zhao Zhujian, the gift was nothing else, it was the musket captured from the Holy Alliance, a total of thirty, and Zhang Ruoming handed it all over to Zhao Zhujian.

Those old people looked at these guns, and couldn't help muttering something in a low voice, because they used dialects, Zhang Ruoming and others couldn't understand at all, the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, since ancient times, it was ten miles of different sounds, hundreds of miles of different winds, and later after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mandarin was popularized, and the younger generation was able to communicate universally, but since the disaster came, civilization was cut off, and the communication between each other was completely broken, and under the long-term inheritance, people gradually returned to their own speech habits, and began to speak dialects, only some people at the top level, always insisted on it, Only then did a part of the Mandarin be saved, and at this time, Zhang Ruoming and others couldn't understand the dialect they spoke, but Zhang Ruoming could also see from their eyes that they were afraid.

And this is also Zhang Ruoming's original intention to give this gift, which is to use this batch of weapons to test and test the people in power in the lonely village, what is the attitude towards the Holy Alliance, these muskets, all engraved with the coat of arms of the Holy Alliance, just need to look at it casually, you can be sure that such a weapon, Zhang Ruoming will see if they dare to take it, if they dare to take it, these people are obviously not afraid of the Holy Alliance, but if they dare not take it, then Zhang Ruoming also knows that this time it is for nothing.

After all, he didn't even dare to accept the stolen goods of the Holy Alliance, let alone fight side by side with them, which was tantamount to a statement, and this statement was euphemistic, so Zhang Ruoming still had things other than this matter to cooperate with them, and the exchange of human feelings was like this, and everything that could not be done was absolutely impossible.

If Zhang Ruoming directly asks you what you think of the Holy Alliance, the other party will not tell you, after all, you are a stranger, even if you are not in the same group as the Holy Alliance, but who knows what kind of goods you Black Iron City is? What is the purpose, it will definitely reject you, and this kind of strong refusal will lead to the inability of the two sides to cooperate in other aspects.

And Zhang Ruoming can vaguely investigate the attitude of the lonely village, even if he refuses in the end, it is not in benevolence and righteousness, and he may be able to cooperate in the future, you know, Zhang Ruoming knows very well that Black Iron City will definitely be involved in the hook with the Holy Alliance and Yangcheng, at that time, whether it is necessary to have an intelligence station, or an ally, to know the surrounding situation, or to need some local herbs or something, it is possible to cooperate with the isolated village, at this time, offend the isolated village, There are no benefits, and there are many benefits to ensuring the goodwill of the lonely village, which is why Zhang Ruoming wants to do this.

I have to say that Zhang Ruoming is indeed a very smart person, not only has a high IQ, but also has a high EQ, and at this time, the old people in the lonely village are chattering and discussing, the so-called people are old and refined, obviously they also know Zhang Ruoming's attitude, and they also have different opinions on this batch of so-called gifts, but the old man in the middle did not speak, just looked at these weapons, and suddenly Zhao Zhujian took a step forward, handed the crutches in his hand to Zhao Ersan, and then picked up a gun and looked at it.

"Good gun, good gun." Zhao Zhujian said two good guns back and forth, suddenly looked at Zhang Ruoming, and said, "Is there a bullet?" Zhang Ruoming said with a smile: "Of course there is, Yang Yi, Liu Yangkai, take out the bullets." Saying that, Yang Yi and Liu Yangkai put down the big backpack they were holding, which was full of captured bullets, Zhao Zhujian picked up one, filled with gunpowder and bullets with his hands and feet, and raised his hands flat to aim at a stone bench next to him is a shot, hitting the target, the stone bench exploded, and the old man said with a smile: "Good gun, I have never seen such a good gun in Yangcheng." ”

Zhang Ruoming and the others couldn't help frowning, the distance between the old man and the stone bench was close to eighty meters or so, although this gun was a good gun, but even a young soldier wanted to concentrate things eighty meters away, especially in windy weather, it was also very difficult, and now it was dark night, under such unfavorable weather conditions, this old man actually hit with one shot, and looking at his state, he was not affected by the recoil at all, and the steps under his feet did not even move a step.

This hand really surprised Zhang Ruoming and a few other young people, and they couldn't help but wonder if this old man was a Skywalker, otherwise this would be too godly, Zhang Ruoming looked at the crutches held by Zhao Ersan, and said in his heart that this old man is too good at acting, with such strength, where do you need crutches, he looks at it is to climb a mountain of two or three thousand meters, and this old man can go on anytime and anywhere.
