Chapter 509 Looking
Zhao Feng said in his heart. After a few glances, Zhao Feng asked them to know the origin of their registration number. Among these seven people, four were from the Taiyue country, two of them were from the army, and the other three were from other small countries and tribes, and most of them were sold into slavery after being wiped out. Among the four people of Taiyue Kingdom, there is a lean old man with gray hair, who looks very extraordinary, and he has a momentum that is neither humble nor arrogant when he stands there, this is the leader selected by those craftsmen, called Tie Zhen.
Zhao Feng knew that these people were just subject to the slave seal and had to obey orders, in their motherland, these people were only afraid that they were all powerful figures, so he said: "My name is Zhao Feng, I am the lord of this beacon fire plain, the bachelor canonized by the temple, you are all older than me, and you have fallen here, it is also fate, I also know that you don't want to be slaves for life, so I want to make an agreement with you here, as long as you can help me dig two canals, I will let you and your people be free, how about it?" ”
After hearing this, five people were immediately very excited, and three of them knelt on the ground and said: "As long as the adults let us go free, what do you want us to do, we can go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire!" Only the craftsman Tie Zhen and a slave Wang Kun from the army were unmoved.
Seeing Zhao Feng staring at them with burning eyes, Wang Kun turned sideways slightly, and his footsteps were slightly sideways, obviously wanting to protect the old craftsman Tie Zhen. Zhao Feng's vision is not bad, looking at Wang Kun's movements, he is not like an ordinary soldier, but more like a martial arts master, most of the slave traders have very vicious eyes, this Wang Kun can get through the tricks, there should be some means. And he protects the old man Tiezhen, it seems that the identity of this old man is also worth looking for.
"These two seem to have questions about my words?"
That Wang Kun wanted to speak, but saw the old man Tie Zhen put him aside and said, "Wang Kun, don't say it, this son has already seen that you are a martial artist." Then, he stepped forward and arched his hand and said: "Please also ask the son to forgive the sin, this child is also to protect the old decay, the old decay Zhen Tie, who was once the master craftsman of the Taiyue Ministry of Industry, is now just an old slave." Seeing that Zhao Feng didn't answer, he continued: "The old man is not suspicious of the words of the son, but it is just that my Taiyue Kingdom was deceived by foreign nobles to open the country, and it has come to this point." ”
"I see, don't blame those who don't know, I'm not a nobleman, I have barbarian blood in me."
"Childe, is it really a barbarian?" The old man was obviously not sure that it was the first time he had heard of the barbarians of the Western Realm, who had been canonized as a Templar Scholar.
"What's the matter, dead old man, we barbarians can't have a bachelor?" A barbarian warrior next to him stopped doing it, jumped out to pull the old man's collar, that Wang Kun stepped forward and protected the old man behind him, the two collided suddenly, as a result, the two of them each took two steps back, and the barbarian warrior just wanted to go crazy, but he was caught by Kudong and kicked out of the gate.
At the end of the farce, Zhao Feng continued: "This, uh-huh, we barbarians have always valued faith and righteousness, and the words we say are the fists we hit and the hammers we smashed, and every sentence is true!" ”
Zhen Tie and Wang Kun glanced at each other, and Zhen Tiecai said: "Barbarians never break their promises, even Taiyue has heard of it, we believe in Gongzi's promise, Gongzi digs a canal, and the old man is willing to do his best, but there is still a condition for the old man." ”
This old man actually had the confidence to mention the conditions, Zhao Feng felt that this person might have some ability, so he asked: "What conditions does the old man have, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”
"Don't dare to be called a son, the condition for old decay is to ask a son to marry a girl!" As soon as the old man finished speaking, Zhao Feng was dumbfounded, and everyone in the room looked at each other.
After a while, Zhao Feng came to his senses and thought, "What's wrong with this old man, he actually stuffed my wife?" ”
"Ahem, this, can you change the conditions?"
"This can't, although the old man is ignorant, but I have also heard that the Tiantai barbarians have three or four wives, looking at the appearance of the son, it seems that there is no family, this girl's appearance and talent are all first-class, and she will never let the son suffer you."
"Hehe, why should I promise you, you know, you are now subject to me, do you dare not work hard?" Zhao Feng's face was a little unbearable, he was coerced by slaves, this is going to be spread, where is his prestige?
"A handful of old bones, what are you afraid of, work, of course old decay will do it, but, it's hard to say whether this is good or bad, there are many doorways to dig canals, I don't think there are any industrial talents here, and the kid next to him who takes the map seems to have learned some, but, at first glance, it is a, I haven't practiced in battle, those craftsmen who came with me, the old man has explored the bottom early in the morning, striking iron, logging, building houses, building roads, building bridges, and building cities will be blind, not to mention opening the canal? The original soil of this beacon fire is very loose, and without any means, this canal will definitely not be opened. ”
Old man Zhen squeezed Zhao Feng in a few words, and seeing that Zhao Feng didn't speak, he continued: "The old man resigned and went into hiding, because he looked down on this generation of monarchs, that is, he was arrested by Donghua, and the old man didn't leak his identity, it's not that he doesn't have that ability, but he doesn't want to give Donghua his life, otherwise, if he misses a few hands, he won't go to this place where the bird doesn't." ”
Zhao Feng is here, this old man still looks down on Fenghuoyuan, Zhao Feng's face is a little dark, he took out a cruel look, and said: "In this way, that girl must be among the slaves bought, you are not afraid that I will find her, and..."
"Don't be afraid, if you want me to say, it's best to find out, after seeing her appearance, you must be reluctant to kill, I don't believe you." The old man was stubborn to the end.
"Bastard, how dare you arrange this son?"
Unexpectedly, the old man actually closed his eyes with his neck and didn't speak.
After waiting for a while, Zhao Feng couldn't hold his breath and asked, "You don't want to ask the girl if she wants to?" ”
"What is there to be unwilling, the people who have lost the country, whether they can have food or not, it depends on the faces of others, who to marry, can they still make their own decisions, compared to those stupid men outside, they can marry a temple bachelor, and they are so tall and burly, they are already burning high incense."
"You..., I..." This time, Zhao Feng was speechless, he looked to both sides, and saw that his subordinates were all looking at their noses and noses, and they looked like they were concerned about my. And that Ying Kun and Ku Dong are desperately making their eyes, as if to say, why don't you agree to this kind of good thing? There are many wives of the barbarians in the West, this is a well-known thing, and one, the people of the West, the barbarians of the West don't take this matter seriously.
After being cold for a long time, Zhao Feng saw that there was no one to save the scene, so he slapped the table and said helplessly: "You have to let me meet someone." ”
Old man Zhen nodded, and immediately put on a smiling face: "Of course, of course, please also ask Gongzi to send someone to go with Wang Kun to find someone, and Lao Yu will write a prescription again, how about asking Gongzi to send someone to match?" ”
Zhao Feng had no choice but to arrange it, and after a while, he saw Wang Kun bring a woman, this woman had dark skin and rough skin, especially a red spot on her face, which looked very infiltrating, and when she saw Zhen Tie, the woman ran to her side and cried.
Zhao Feng asked angrily. "This is what you call beauty?"
"Of course, I also asked Gongzi to arrange for someone to boil a bucket of hot water and soak the medicinal herbs, and then we will see." Old man Zhen was very sincere this time.
Originally, Zhao Feng thought that building the canal was to dig the river, and it could be completed within a year, until he saw the sea, only to find that when the tide of the sea rose and fell, the water was extremely turbulent, but the original soil of this beacon fire was loose, if it was just a dirt river, I was afraid that it would soon be washed away by the riverbank, and if I wanted to dig it again, it would be even more difficult. As a last resort, Zhao Feng came up with a means to tear down the courtyard wall to strengthen the river embankment, but even he felt unreliable. Yue Hai has also learned the means of canal digging to some extent, but it is an inland river, and some means of reinforcement are feasible in the interior, but this barren frontier cannot be done. What's more, this sea is turbulent, the best at digging sand and soil, if the soil under the stone is exhausted by the sea, this river embankment will still collapse, now, Zhao Feng is thinking about whether to go to Tiantai to hire a master, I don't think there is a knowledgeable person here, but it is a bull's temper.
Arranged for this girl to go down, Zhao Feng asked about the origin of this girl again, and the old man Zhen stiffened his neck and said: "This girl's background is not bad, his surname is Qi, his maiden name is Yingying, and he is the daughter of Qi Wuxuan, the lord of Mengshan City in Taiyue Kingdom. ”
As soon as these words came out, several slave leaders of the Tiantai Kingdom looked at it, obviously knowing a lot about Qi Xuanwu. I only heard the old man Zhen continue: "This Qi city lord is my friend for many years, and he is also a stubborn temper, at that time, the Donghua Empire broke through Taiyue, he led the army to defend Mengshan City, and fought fiercely with the Donghua army for more than ten days, and finally lost the city. It was the leader of the Donghua army, who also respected my brother as a man, and ordered a thick burial. ”
"However, before the city was broken, Brother Qi sent his daughter to Lao Yu, Lao Yu knew some strange remedies, this soldier was in chaos, in order to defend himself, he prepared a medicine for Yingying to change her appearance, so that she could be regarded as fooling through, but fortunately, now she has also come to this northern Xinjiang."
After listening to it, everyone couldn't help but have some praise, it turned out that it was still a hero. No matter where it is, betraying the homeland is always unpopular, this heroic hero who died in battle and martyrdom is always admirable, and after this hero, of course, he is also looked down upon.
Zhao Feng asked about the excavation of the canal again, and the old man Zhen really said the truth. Asked again how to prevent the sea from digging the river embankment, the old man kept silent, with an expression that he knew that your kid would ask, and said mysteriously: "This matter is not difficult, the old man has a secret recipe, as long as the son and Ying Ying get married, I will tell you." Zhao Feng saw that the old man was cunning, and scolded in his heart: "Another old thief." ”
Speaking of this, Old Man Zhen said that he had something to explain to Miss Qi, so he took Wang Kun out, and only Zhao Feng's subordinates were left in the room, and Zhao Feng was not waited.
