Chapter 63: The Dark Tide is Turbulent (Two Chapters in One)
"I saw it, you talked and laughed with Yu Wensheng's guard Wei Yao."
A strange yin and yang voice came from the darkness.
Zheng Quqi looked at it, and then recognized the person.
"Don't keep stalking me, don't I need to blend in with the enemy camp? False brotherhood like this naturally has to be maintained from time to time. ”
For example, she and him are just a partner between the virtual and the wronged.
Shan Bian stared at her for a moment, and said, "Yuwensheng actually sent an army to garrison it, we can't sit still anymore, I'll go ...... tonight."
She was surprised: "To assassinate Yu Wensheng? ”
Shan Bian's pretended profound face couldn't hold back for a while, and he jumped to his feet: "What nonsense are you talking about." I went to assassinate Yu Wensheng, did I think my life was too long? I mean, this time the barbarians invaded, the stonemasons and laborers suffered a lot of casualties, in order not to delay the project, they will definitely re-recruit people from all over the country, and we can arrange for some more people to mix in to cooperate with our destruction mission. ”
Looking at his villainous appearance, Zheng Quqi's eyes darkened, and he said casually: "Then I'll wait and see." ”
But this time Shan Bian didn't allow her to stay out of the matter, he pressed one palm on her shoulder: "Let's go our separate ways, I'll arrange the personnel, and you will find an opportunity to kill the original follower and the silver owl." ”
Zheng Quqi raised his head, his eyes wide: "Me? ”
"Isn't it who you are? Haven't you always been in charge of assassination missions in the past? Shan Bian's expression was dark, and at this time, he seemed to have uncovered his usual disguised face, approached her and said: "Ruler, your behavior has become more and more strange recently, sometimes looking at you, I feel like a different person." ”
Zheng Quqi tried her best to restrain the subtle changes in facial expressions, she had actually anticipated the questioning and suspicion at this moment, so she was not too panicked.
"You know me well?" Zheng Quqi took a deep breath and asked back aggressively: "Have you really gotten along with me?" We've talked about each other? How well do you think you know me? ”
Shan Bian was sprayed by her spittle, hurriedly let go of her, and wiped his face: "Ruler, it's too much, it seems that I don't have any friendship with you, we have experienced a lot of thrilling things together." ”
Zheng Quqi knows his urine nature, although he usually acts in a gag and is out of tune, but the Mo family can send him to coordinate the task, and he is definitely not a simple person.
She didn't take it lightly, and she wouldn't trust him easily, she continued to output: "I used to assassinate me, but now I don't even have the same weapon in order to get in, you say that I will assassinate the original follower and the silver owl, what should I use to assassinate and take the white blade empty-handed?" ”
Shan Bian couldn't stand her repeated questioning, and squeezed out an embarrassed and begging smile: "Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing, as long as you are willing to do it, the weapon will be handed over to me, and I will prepare it for you in a while, and even I will finalize the location, time and ambush location for you, you only need to ......"
He tugged at the corners of his mouth, met her calm eyes, and lowered his voice, "Just kill someone." ”
He arranged it directly for her.
Can Zheng Quqi refuse at this time?
Of course not.
She replied with a non-smiling smile, "Okay." ”
——
Fu County
The night is dark, and the moon follows the shadow of the bow.
Lin Yuan, the two figures knelt straight in front of "Master Li".
"Please help us."
Li Shi, who was dressed in a blue robe and covered with a green fox coat, sat leisurely in a rocking chair, his head was still wrapped in bandages, and his smooth hair hung down at the back of his neck, and he said lightly: "People can only save themselves, I can't help you." ”
"You can, you must have a way, you are ......"
As soon as Yuan Sui's words were about to be spoken, a gloomy black shadow fell down like this, and the huge shocking chill made the two of them stiffen, and the words that were about to be confided were choked back into their throats.
They raised their eyes tremblingly, but saw a tower-like figure standing behind the "Li Shi" like a black god.
On that backlit face, only a pair of eyes as sharp as thin blades clearly compared to them.
"Master Li" rubbed his sick forehead: "Be cautious in words and deeds." ”
They gritted their teeth, but they were unwilling to leave like this, the silver owl knew that his identity could not be casually put on his lips, so he could only remind the other party euphemistically: "Master Li, the two of us took such a big risk to cover up for you, to ensure that your fake identity is safe, now we are in trouble, just ask you for the sake of the same door, for our guidance, really, we only ask this time, and we will never dare to come to disturb it easily in the future." ”
"Yes, if it weren't for the real trouble, we wouldn't have come so late at night."
The two of them bowed down, their foreheads against the backs of their hands, and their words were earnest.
The shaking action of "Li Shi" paused, and a lamp in the yarn shone brightly, like a sprinkle of frost on the court steps, and sat quietly for a while.
He said, "What do you ask?" ”
When Yuan Sui and Yinxiao heard this question, their faces showed surprise, and they hurriedly straightened up and said: "Right now, Yu Wensheng wants me to wait for half a month to build the prototype of the city wall, but the construction drawings have already been burned and cannot be restored, so we can only use the current manpower and material resources to rebuild a city wall......"
They told the "Li Shi" about the problems they encountered, but they felt that when everything was gathered together, it was like a mess.
"What are the materials currently used?"
Yuan said: "Stones, cemented soil, but these things are far from enough, but also need to be vigorously mined and excavated, and the cemented soil also needs to be burned chalky (lime) blending, Fuxian County has been fortified frequently recently, there is no accumulation at all, so it is also difficult to reach enough cemented soil in a short period of time." ”
The silver owl also said: "If you follow the previous way of building walls, in this kind of wet and cold weather, you don't know how many days it will take to solidify the gaps, so it is best to build scaffolding to facilitate the reinforcement of the wall, as well as transportation ......."
The two of them said one by one, all of them were far more difficult than methods, not that they couldn't do it, but that the order given by Yu Wensheng was imminent, and they didn't have the time to let them go slowly.
"Li Shi" got up, gathered his clothes, he said: "Quarrying requires a lot of manpower, and it is time-consuming to transport back and forth, so it is better to take materials, take stones as the foundation, and then use the famous local loess mixed and gravel wall in Fuxian County, which can be quickly formed." ”
"But the stone foundation is not stable, and it is often loose."
"Purchasing a large amount of rice (glutinous rice) to boil and mix chalk (lime) to bond masonry can solve this problem."
After they heard this, if they received a treasure, they immediately opened the spiritual platform and were deeply touched.
"Thank you Master Li for your advice!"
The night was quiet, and after the original entourage and the silver owl left with a thousand thanks, the silent man behind "Li Shi" lowered his head: "Master, why do you want to help them?" ”
Teach them, isn't this tantamount to helping Yu Wensheng in disguise?
"Li Shi" walked into the room, his eyebrows fell slightly, and when the warmth of the charcoal fire burning in the room gradually dispersed the chill around him, the color of his lips returned from light purple to light water: "Help? You only know one thing, but you don't know the other. ”
The Great Han was not a pure layman, he said: "This method can indeed make the walls strong." ”
The original follower Yinxiao can be rated as a craftsman, and the skills he has learned are true, so he can naturally distinguish whether what the master said is true or false.
He understands the "one", but what is the "two"?
"It's a good idea, but you think it's so easy to do?" He glanced at a pair of willow eyes faintly, and it was faint.
There are many ways to solve many things in this world, but some methods can be used, but it does not mean that everyone is applicable, and it may end up being self-defeating.
To use the simplest analogy, for example, if a robber comes, he can be killed, but the strong are appropriate, and the weak are used with caution.
The big man seemed to understand, and he walked over to the smoky charcoal stove, flicked it, and added a few more pieces of charcoal.
Then he turned around, knelt down guiltily, and slammed his head on the ground.
"Master, the saw didn't find the second girl in the camp, but because of the delay in returning, he almost hurt you, please punish you heavily."
The pseudonym "Li Shi" is the public defeat that is, he changed his face, borrowed his identity, and returned to Fuxian, he has always planned carefully, and the only unexpected mistake was this accident.
He stroked the wound on his forehead, still tingling: "It's not in the way, I ordered you to do it." ”
The saw raised his face: "I heard that the slave heard that someone took the risk to save the master when the mountain rock fell regardless of the danger?" ”
"Well, someone did dig me out from under the rubble." If you untie the fox fur, lay it next to the bed.
Saw lowered his eyes: "Which one?" Can you recognize the saw? ”
If you stand up and your fingers unconsciously touch the position between your waist, the "Yanlin" tag that should have been hung is empty.
He suddenly remembered the face that was so fresh in his memory.
He has dark skin, shaggy hair, small size, small head, small face, and small hands, but he is very energetic, as brilliant as a firework, full of vitality.
"It's not ours, and I don't know each other."
The saw was stunned.
Would strangers do that?
"Then why did he ......?"
If you lift your eyes, press your hand on the dark wall, and the light and candle behind the gauze curtain will be cut out by the silk cover: "There is no need to delve into his affairs...... However, it will soon be possible to meet him again. ”
If you lose, you will rest peacefully.
The saw stood obediently against the wall, looking at his nose, nose, mouth, and heart, like a silent sculpture left in the dark to guard his god.
——
The second snow since the beginning of winter fell quietly at the morning equinox.
Far west of Fu County, in the valley of the mountains, a team of hooded cloaks rode through like a gallop of horses, and finally they found their master in the wilderness and rocks.
They didn't even have time to stop their horses, so they leaped up and galloped eagerly.
"Sima!"
The person who was seriously injured and did not recover, and was chased and fled to the point of collapse, heard the familiar shout, and then slowly opened his eyes.
His gloom lingered on his brow, his dark eyes swept silently over them.
Then, without warning, he burst out laughing rampantly, and everyone who came to greet him was dumbfounded.
"Hahaha...... Yu, Wen, Sheng! Lao Tzu is not dead, and then you and the Ye Kingdom behind you should never be at peace! ”
The person who came to answer tore off his hat, his face was full of anger and hatred: "After we received Sima's news, we immediately sent someone to summon the nomadic barbarian, and now Yu Wensheng is only afraid that he is anxious and has no intention of continuing to pursue Sima. ”
"It's okay Ye Guo...... There's only one Yu Wensheng. "The other subordinates are related.
They brought clothes to put on Mo Ye, who was almost naked, and then put on a white bear long cloak, he turned his head to look in the direction of Fuxian, his eyes were full of rebelliousness and revenge.
"Wait." He raised one side of his eyebrows, and said with compassion like a gambling curse: "Master will come back soon." ”
——
At dawn, the county sent engineering officers to deliver more than a dozen "earth-lifting tools" to Guiqiling.
When I first saw the "earthenware", the stonemasons who gathered around to join in the fun were amazed and curious, discussing its use and function.
Only Zheng Quqi saw that the equipment he had made before was mass-produced, and in addition to being surprised, he was a little amused and helpless.
She didn't feel infringed, because the model she gave to the engineer Mu Ke, and he also gave her the corresponding "reward".
It's just that they don't know how to change it and use it again?
This is a soil lifter, as the name suggests, its main function is to use it to pour soil, of course, if it is used to move stones, but because the volume and weight of the stone are different, if its crane is slightly modified, it will be more applicable.
What's more, they don't know that it is more convenient to install a wheel on it, so that it can be moved?
Forget it, she already has a general understanding of the abilities of these carpenters in Fu County.
They only know the usual furniture and house construction, and they rarely dabble in anything else.
Seeing the familiar engineer Mu Ke, Zheng Quqi had a lot of people, so she didn't rush forward to say hello, but when she saw the mass-produced "earthening device", she suddenly had an idea to make money in her mind.
She plans to design the 2.0 version of the "earth-picker" when she has time, and then take it to Mouko for an appraisal and ask him to help find a suitable "seller".
In this way, she not only earned the design fee, but also played a certain role in promoting the construction industry in Fuxian County, killing two birds with one stone.
When the "earthening device" was delivered, Zheng Quqi guessed that construction was about to start.
She thought she would continue to move stones, but she didn't expect to be transferred to dig a ditch.
I don't know what kind of city wall they plan to build with the silver owl, but when I saw them again, Zheng Quqi found that these two looked full of confidence, and asked them to dig a wide ditch again.
What kind of operation is this?
Isn't there not enough time?
She didn't bother to guess what they meant, she dug the soil for a day, and was so tired that her limbs were weak and her waist and knees were sore.
In ancient times, the working people were really hard, and after working hard for a day, she was made into a kidney deficiency.
If she could have crossed into an emperor or some rich man, she would definitely have built a machine to replace cheap labor and free the hands of the poor people.
It's a pity that she is passing through a grassroots laborer who is waiting to be liberated.
The worst thing is that others can lie flat after work, but she still has to drag her tired body to find Wei Yao and rush to the official kiln overnight.
Wei Yao didn't talk nonsense, and personally rode a horse to take her to the Fu County government workshop.
At this time, Zheng Quqi didn't know that her move completely messed up the originally laid dangerous situation into a pot of porridge.
