Seeing Yang Yi say this, Zhongli Yiyi already understood that he had made up his mind, and I don't know why, Zhongli Yiyi should have rejected his wishful thinking and risky move, but the ghost god almost nodded in agreement, and even she herself was surprised by her abnormal behavior.

But no matter what, she and Yang Yi had already followed the men carrying the sedan chair all the way to the west.

Those sedan chair men have very good foot strength, but they are not tired at all when they rush all the way, but they are extremely vigilant, and they suddenly turn back many times along the way to see if anyone is watching, and they have changed the path many times, if it weren't for Yang Yi and Zhongli Yiyi's preparations, they flew on the roof of the house along the way, but I am afraid that they have already been discovered by those sedan chair men.

In this way, Yang Yi and Zhongli Yiyi jumped over the ridge, and after walking for two teas, they saw those palanquin men come to a large courtyard covering an area of nearly three acres.

After the palanquin bearers carried the palanquin into the courtyard, four men in white cotton shorts and carrying scimitars quickly closed the courtyard door, and their figures flashed and disappeared.

Zhongli Yiyi recognized this as a stealth technique that was secretly passed down between the green forests, that is, with the help of the camouflage color of his own clothing to conceal it, so he pulled Yang Yi to lie on the roof of a house more than twenty meters away from the courtyard, at this time, the falling snow in the sky began to flutter one after another, and in a moment, the snowflakes covered Yang Yi and Zhongli Yiyi, and merged with the white sky and earth, even if it was Hai Dongqing, I am afraid it would be difficult to distinguish where the snow was and where there were hidden people.

Yang Yi has the Buddha's relics and clumsy fire in his body, so he is naturally not afraid of the cold, but what surprised him was that Zhongli Yiyi did not see any signs of cold, because he was worried that she would be frozen, Yang Yi wanted to take off his horse clip several times and handed it to Zhongli Yiyi, but she refused unceremoniously, Yang Yi didn't care whether Zhongli Yiyi was angry, grabbed her hand and felt it, Zhongli Yiyi's plain hands were very hot, and there was no sign of physical strength at all, so he was relieved.

Zhongli Yiyi naturally understood that Yang Yi was worried about himself, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, in order to hide his emotions, Zhongli Yiyi quickly looked at the courtyard, and found that the four hidden sentries could no longer withstand the cold, so they got up and went to the concierge next to them to bake a fire to keep warm, so they pulled Yang Yi, and the two of them quickly got up, and on the ridge of the house, they had already landed on the towering wall of the courtyard, and then fell down, hiding behind a thick tree.

Although it was snowing heavily, there were men patrolling the courtyard, all of them carrying weapons, and they looked heavily guarded, as if they had arrived at the mansion of some high-ranking official.

But what made Yang Yi and Zhongli Yiyi feel strange was that even in winter, there were still a lot of ducks and pigs in the courtyard, and the cries of ducks and pigs were intertwined, which was extremely noisy and upsetting.

If it is really the mansion of high-ranking officials and nobles, how can they raise these poultry and livestock that should only be in the homes of farmers? But could it be that the men were patrolling here with loaded guns to protect these poultry and livestock, which were worth a lot of money?

Looking at these strange scenes full of contradictions in front of him, Yang Yi was even more determined in his guess, this courtyard and those sedan chair men must be very strange.

Thinking of this, Yang Yi and Zhongli Yiyi took advantage of the gap in those sentry patrols to withdraw and run towards the second courtyard of the courtyard.

The second courtyard is a tall house with blue bricks, in the middle is the gate leading to the third courtyard, with a gatehouse, and all the houses on both sides, Yang Yi and Zhongli Yiyi are sticking to the wall, looking carefully, there is no sentinel at the gate leading to the third courtyard, and their hearts are wide, at this time, Yang Yi and Zhongli Yiyi heard a few jingling knocks in the houses on both sides, and they were curious, so they looked inside along the window, only to find that there were seven or eight stoves in those rooms, A group of shirtless men were striking the red-hot iron bars with their hammers, and where the hammers fell, silver flowers splashed everywhere, and the sound of hammers and anvils was constantly heard.

On the walls of the room, there are a large number of various blades that have been made, and most of those blades are strange-shaped swords, but the only thing that is the same is that the blade or sword body of each sword has a blood groove specially used for bloodletting, which is definitely a vicious design that kills with one hit.

Yang Yi and Zhongli Yiyi checked a few nearby rooms, all of them were blacksmith workshops that made weapons, and in each room, a large number of made swords were also piled up, it seemed that these blacksmith workshops were very efficient, and the number of weapons produced every day was extremely considerable.

At this point, Yang Yi understood why there were so many ducks and pigs in this mysterious courtyard, presumably using the cries of ducks and pigs to cover up the sound of hammering weapons. It's just that who are these people, and why do they make so many weapons here? It is necessary to know that according to the law of the Qing Dynasty, it is a crime to build weapons without permission, even if it is the Cangzhou Mansion, it has no right to organize personnel to build weapons privately, and can only be used to replace the arsenal inventory equipment every year, and it will be uniformly allocated by the Beijing Division, or in case of war, the Eight Banners or Green Battalion soldiers appointed by the imperial court will be directly equipped and go to the battlefield, in short, in order to prevent the Han rebellion, the imperial court has extremely strict restrictions on the manufacture and use of weapons, even the royal family does not dare to build such a large number of weapons privately, and those weapons have strange styles, It is by no means the standard sword of the Qing army.

At this time, Yang Yi and Zhongli Yiyi saw that there was a carriage coming out of the third courtyard, and the two of them hurriedly lifted their breath, flew onto the roof, leaned down, and saw that those carriages came to the left and right houses of the second courtyard, and the young and strong man moved out those weapons and put them in the carriage, and after they were full, they drove the carriage back to the third courtyard.

After a while, the wagons reappeared in the second courtyard, repeating the action of carrying weapons.

After observing for a while, when those carriages came to carry weapons for the third time, Yang Yi and Zhongli Yiyi waited until the carriages had just left, and quickly rushed from the roof to the gatehouse, hiding their bodies behind the plaque on the gatehouse, and saw that the carriages "babbled" under the gatehouse and stopped in front of the only three-story building in the third courtyard.

After the carriage stopped, dozens of men ran out of the building, and carried their weapons into the building in an orderly manner, and it seemed that the three-story building should be the ultimate weapons arsenal in this courtyard.
