After dinner, the two of them cleaned up briefly, and then walked out of the village, not far from the entrance of the village is the embankment on the riverbank.

The embankment at dusk is very beautiful, and the sun slowly falls to the west after the day's work, sweeping away the splendor and brightness of the day, emitting a golden glow, shining brightly on the surface of the river.

On the embankment, villagers in twos and threes finished their day's work and walked along the bank on their way home with farm tools.

The air in the countryside was very fresh, Zhang Yue took a few deep breaths in a row, felt a lot more relaxed, and unconsciously thought of Zhu Youzhu again. I don't know what the emperor is doing now? It should have been dinner, she was not by his side, I don't know if he will forget to eat again because of state affairs, she gently twisted the string of Xuanjing beads on her left wrist.

The two walked to a sharp bend in the river embankment, and several sneaky figures flashed not far in front of them, which attracted Zhang Yue's attention.

Zhang Yue gave Rushui a look, and the two quietly came to the vicinity of several people from the side.

In the evening, the vision was dim, and I could only vaguely see the people dressed in black, all masked, under the embankment, not knowing what they were doing.

Zhang Yue thought it was a thief who stole it, and broke off, "What are you doing?" ”

Hearing this, those people turned their heads with a little panic, and saw that only Zhang Yue Rushui was the two thin young men, who seemed to be relaxed.

The first person gave the person next to him a look and said in a rather strange tone, "Dispose of them!" ”

Several people actually pulled out steel knives from their waists and slashed at the two of them, blocking Zhang Yue behind them like water, facing them, moving and dodging.

These black-clothed people have some kung fu skills, but Rushui is an elite selected by Ji Quan from the secret guards, and he knocked several people to the ground in a few strokes.

The leader had a fierce look in his eyes, and he took out the steel knife at his waist and rushed towards Rushui, who picked up a steel knife on the ground with his toes, held it in his hand, and met it.

A few of the faces, the man flaws appear frequently, in a hurry, with a knife to feint attack such as an underwater plate, but the left hand to the neck of the water sneak attack, such as the water is not in a hurry, with the knife to open the steel knife below, lightning back to the knife on the right hand of the person on the forearm, only to hear a "bell" sound, a black and brown object fell off the man's arm, the man was about to pick up, such as the water with a knife pressed up, the man saw that the situation was not good, his mouth made a whistle, and he crawled with several other people to escape.

Rushui was about to chase her, Zhang Yue drank her,

"Like water, don't chase it."

Zhang Yue picked up the black-brown thing on the ground, and looked at it in the dim daylight, it was actually an armguard, the armguards of generals on the battlefield are made of iron, although they can protect their arms, but because of the heavy weight, it is a little inconvenient to march and fight, and this armguard is made of unknown materials, the weight is very light, and there are some black-brown spots distributed on it.

Rushui walked to Zhang Yue's side,

"Childe, looking at their martial arts paths, they don't look like they are from the Central Plains."

Zhang Yue nodded approvingly, "Yes, the accent of the person who is the leader is not Han either." I thought it was a bandit, but it doesn't seem that simple. Let's go back to the station first. ”

After the two returned to the garrison, they went directly to the garrison camp, because of the special geographical location, Yaojiakou stationed 500 soldiers and more than 800 migrant workers for digging the canal, the leader of the army was a thousand household chiefs, named Tang Zhi.

When Zhang Yue saw Tang Zhi, he told him about the attack he had just encountered by the man in black, and Tang Zhi also felt that the matter was important, and on the one hand, he immediately sent people to strengthen the guards of the embankment; On the other hand, Bai Ang, who sent someone to quickly report the matter to Kaifeng.

Zhang Yue and Rushui returned to the residence, Zhang Yue turned the arm guard over and over again, and only fell asleep late at night.

In the early morning of the second day, before Zhang Yue went to the construction site, he handed over the arm guard to Rushui and asked her to go to the village to find a blacksmith.

The water control truck on the construction site kept being damaged by the hub and steel claws as Zhang Yue expected, and Zhang Yue and other military craftsmen kept replacing them, so that in three days, the power hub was replaced nearly 20 times, which exhausted Zhang Yue and others. Either way, the project is always barely moving forward.

On the fifth day, when Zhang Yue came to the construction site, he brought a black-brown steel claw in his hand.

Wu Yong, the marquis of the river, asked in surprise, "Supervisor Zhang, is this ...... Is this a steel claw? I've never seen anything like this! ”

Zhang Yue smiled mysteriously, "It's a steel claw, but I added something to it!" ”

Everyone looked at her suspiciously, Zhang Yue came to a freshly damaged water control truck, first asked the big nail to replace the power hub, and then she personally replaced the steel claw with the steel claw she brought.

After the change, the big nail gave the water control car strength, "squeak, squeak", the water control car began to run smoothly, everyone's eyes were on this car, a cup of tea, the water control car went out more than ten zhang before stopping.

The big nail ran over, first checked the hub, then bent down to check the steel claw, then jumped up and shouted loudly, "The hub is not broken, the steel claw is not worn at all!" ”

There was a stirring among the people present, and Wu Yong was stunned in surprise, "Supervisor Zhang, this is ..... Here's how... What's going on? ”

Zhang Yue said calmly, "Supervisor Wu, don't worry, let the machine run for a day, and if it is still like this at night, it will never be too late for all of us to be happy." ”

Wu Yong nodded frequently, his eyes full of hope.

Next, in the morning, other water control trucks on the construction site kept breaking down and repairing. Only this water control truck, which has been replaced with steel claws, has been operating normally, and the dredging efficiency is very high.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yue was about to check the wear and tear of the steel claws again, when suddenly a small group of soldiers hurriedly came to the embankment, and the leader shouted,

"Is Supervisor Zhang here?"

As soon as Zhang Yue looked up, he saw that the person who shouted was actually Wang Yunchao, a thousand households beside the second senior brother Bai Ang, so he walked over,

"Wang Qianhu, why did you come here?"

Wang Yunchao said, "Supervisor Zhang, not only I am here, but Lord Bai is also here, he has something important to discuss with you, and he will come to pick you up." ”

As soon as Zhang Yue heard that the second senior brother had come to Yaojiakou in person, something must have happened, so he said hello to Wu Yong and left with Wang Qianhu.

Zhang Yue returned to the barracks with Wang Qianhu, Wang Qianhu took Zhang Yue to a relatively clean and elegant room, asked Zhang Yue to wait for a while, and Lord Bai came over immediately. Wang Qianhu immediately left the room.

Zhang Yue saw that there was a basin of water in the corner of the room, so she stepped forward to wash her hands that were sticky with mud, and just wiped her hands dry, when suddenly her body was swept into a warm embrace, she was so frightened that she was about to struggle, and a man's low but magnetic voice came from her ears,

"You untrustworthy little one!"
