Chapter Eighty-Three: The Craftsman

Following

Early in the morning, Pei Yu and Yun Yi took a carriage to the outside of Yinzhou City, among the endless mountains, where the Zhenxi army was stationed.

Zhao Cheng received the news from the General's Mansion yesterday and knew that General Pei was coming to the barracks today, so he waited outside the main tent early.

When Yun Yi saw Zhao Cheng at first glance, he stayed for a moment, isn't this the Zhao brother who saved her from danger in Yujia Village?

When the two met, they were a little confused.

Zhao Cheng didn't understand how the little Taoist he saved by the way became a gender. He was still treated as a guest by his own general?

Yun Yi's brain is also spinning wildly, so this Zhao Cheng is General Pei's lieutenant, he met Yuan Ye who was attacked by mountain bandits on the way back to Beijing, and then rescued her in Yujia Village.

Then a few months later, his master saved her again in the wild goose!

Really, fate!

Yuan Ye on the side also had a few words with Vice General Zhao, and Pei Yu finally came back to his senses.

He looked at Zhao Cheng, then at Yuan Ye, and finally at Yun Yi, and then smiled heartily.

"I didn't expect that Vice General Zhao would make a great contribution to returning to Beijing this time!"

Zhao Cheng looked at his general with a blank face, "The general said with a smile, how can Zhao Cheng make a great contribution." ”

Pei Yu glanced at Yun Yi mysteriously, then pointed at her and said to Zhao Cheng: "Do you know, who is she?" ”

Zhao Cheng looked at Yun Yi, who was dressed in women's clothes, and said entangledly: "Female ...... Female Taoist? ”

"Hahahahaha

"She is the county lord of Qingzhou who was personally appointed by His Majesty." After speaking, he couldn't help but carefully look at the expressions of several lieutenants, hoping to see the same shocked expression as he did yesterday.

Then, Pei Yu's expectations were finally disappointed.

Zhao Cheng has always liked martial arts and hated literature, and he doesn't care much about all things related to reading on weekdays.

He knew that there was a special Qingzhou county lord in the Yuan Kingdom, but he didn't know the reason for it.

Pei Yu couldn't help but be a little disappointed, he patted Zhao Cheng's shoulder and sighed: "If Vice General Zhao is free, he still has to read more books." ”

Zhao Cheng: ............ Then I don't want to be free from now on!

Since they all knew each other, Pei Yu didn't introduce much, and Zhao Cheng led the way and walked to the depths of the camp.

It is said to be a camp, but if there is no field survey, it looks more like villages from a distance, scattered among these mountains.

Yinzhou is a mountain city, with endless stone mountains and pine forests, which surrounds Yinzhou tightly.

When Yun Yi and Xia Lan were stunned by the traffickers and walked on the mountain road with a very small carriage, there were cliffs on both sides, so they did not dare to force themselves out of the carriage.

The garrison of the Zhenxi army was stationed in a col surrounded by mountains, and the outside was a continuous pine mountain, which was a very suitable place for hiding and ambushing.

The 100,000 Zhenxi army secretly hid in this deep mountain, even Gao Cang's spies wanted to explore, and they had to cross these unobstructed pine mountains before they could see the shadow of the camp.

But it is impossible to get past the sentry on every hill without being heard or noticed.

If Gao Cang wanted to lead his troops to raid Yinzhou, he could only lead his troops through these mountains, even if he really crossed these pine mountains, he would only crash headlong into the arms of the Zhenxi army that had been waiting here.

Just thinking about it, Yun Yi couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth high, ah, it's a pity that she can't write this plot to her readers, otherwise the comment area will definitely be swiped by hahahahaha.

Zhao Cheng led them all the way, a row of stone houses independent by the river, heavily guarded all around, basically it can be said that it has reached the point of five steps and one post, and ten steps and one sentry.

Yun Yi looked at General Pei with some doubts, Pei Yu saw that Yun was puzzled, and explained softly: "These are all craftsmen who are responsible for the improvement of the Zhenxi Army's own weapons, and the weapons that have not been reviewed and confirmed by the Ministry of War will be sealed here, and the craftsmen who are responsible for designing and manufacturing weapons will also be placed here together." ”

Also, what safer place could there be than a camp surrounded by a hundred thousand troops.

Far away before I got closer, I could hear the clanging sound of iron striking from inside the row of stone houses.

As soon as we got closer, a wave of heat came to our faces, because of the perennial smelting, the temperature near here was much higher than the rest of the mountain.

Most of the craftsmen are wearing the upper body, holding the hammer and raising their right hands high, full of scars that have healed after burns, and the bulging green tendons are like small snakes, coiled around the muscles of their arms.

When they saw a stranger coming, they didn't pay attention to it, and concentrated on hammering the red iron in front of them.

Yun Yi is the first time to see a real blacksmith with her own eyes, not counting what she has seen in online videos before, those are all inheritors of intangible cultural heritage or bloggers who want to attract attention, and it is the first time for her to watch it at such a close distance.

This row of stone houses is already considered a military land, so Zhao Cheng did not intend to take them to watch, but just brought them to the first room of this row of stone houses and stopped.

After they entered the stone house, an old man who had been following them silently rubbed the black ash on his hands, and stepped forward to salute with a smile.

"General Pei is good, Vice General Zhao is good." By the time Yun Yi and Yuan Ye arrived, although the old man didn't know who they were, he could let the two generals accompany him, and he must be nobles, maybe he was sent by the Ministry of War to inspect their newly made weapons.

So he didn't dare to carry it at all, and said respectfully: "Hello two nobles." ”

Yuan Ye accepted the old man's salute safely, but Yun Yi quickly avoided it to the side.

Not to mention her young age, she really doesn't have any sense of dignity and inferiority, if she really receives this gift for life, she is afraid that she will have to live for a few years.

Moreover, there is a Taoist saying that one should not accept the courtesy of someone older than oneself, unless the other party is immoral, rude, or adulterous.

Yun Yi didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out his neatly folded line drawing from his purse.

After she returned to the yard yesterday, she asked Xia Lan to help her go to the big kitchen to ask for goose feathers, and temporarily made a quill pen to draw according to her memories.

For a person like her who has never studied Chinese painting, if she wants to use a soft brush like a brush to draw straight lines, she will never be able to do it.

After the old man saw the design drawings after Yun Yi unfolded, he hurriedly asked people to move the desk they usually used to calculate the size from the house and put it in the courtyard.

Yun Yi laid the drawings neatly on the desk one by one, thanking her for being bored in the summer vacation of college, and signing up to learn graphic design with her girlfriends, although she only studied for a month and a half, but the basic three-view principle of floor plans, she still learned very well.
