Chapter 65: Apprenticeship

"Don't worry, general, this little thing is still difficult for me" After speaking, he went to the gate to find a bundle of ropes, took out the sun-chasing bow that had not been used for a long time, tied the rope to the tail of an iron spear, and pulled the day-by-day into a full moon, and shouted, and the meteor caught the moon.

I saw the iron spear shoot out, rushing to the cliff with a rope, with a muffled sound, several gravel slid down to the wall, and the iron spear was firmly inserted into the cliff, at least more than 20 zhang.

Chu Yu stretched out his hand and pulled the rope a few times, confirming that the rope would not fall off when he climbed it again, grabbed the rope with one hand, put it on his back, and turned his head to Wang Gang and said.

"General, I'm going up"

Wang Gang was also stunned by Chu Yulu's hand, if he went to attack the city, he wouldn't even need a cloud ladder.

"Be careful"

Wang Gang admonished.

Chu Yu used his arms hard, and his feet stepped on the city wall violently, and the whole person flew up, climbed up along the stone wall, and in less than a while, he climbed more than ten zhang high, and after a while, he reached the position of the iron spear. Wang Gang thought that Chu Yu would repeat his old trick and shoot arrows again.

I saw Chu Yu take out the short knife, cut the rope on the iron spear, tie the rope around his waist, insert the short knife into the stone crack fiercely, and then pull out the iron spear little by little, and then insert the iron spear into the stone crack a little above, and pull out the short sword. In the intermittent period, the person also slowly becomes taller.

Wang Gang was terrified when he watched at the bottom of the mountain, and if he was not careful, he would definitely fall to pieces.

In fact, Chu Yu didn't climb easily, but fortunately he got to the top. The mountain slowly became more steep, not as steep as the bottom, and he was confident that he could climb it in this way.

After an hour, Chu Yu sweated profusely and climbed to a platform on the mountain, which was relatively flat, and it was a hundred zhang high from the ground. Looking at Tongguan on the ground, it is like an ordinary house.

Chu Yu tied the rope to a large raised stone and made a gesture to the people below, and a vine armor soldier took the lead in slowly climbing up the rope. This time, it was relatively simple, Chu Yu was helping to pull it again, and in less than half an hour, the vine armor soldier climbed onto the platform.

Then I found a few more ropes and pulled them up, and a simple rope ladder was made. Hundreds of lumberjacks and miners climbed up.

Wang Gang also followed and finally climbed up. Looking at the lush trees on the mountain, as well as a dense bamboo forest in the distance, listening to the contending of hundreds of birds, looking up, you can see Luoyang City looming in the distance, and the official road at the foot of the mountain is also in full view.

Wang Gang suddenly had an idea, if a watchtower was set up here, then every move within a radius of ten miles could be seen. Whoever wants to sneak attack Tongguan again, it is simply impossible.

Wang Gang first arranged for lumberjacks to cut down some trees on the mountain. The miners made the mountain near Tongguan flat for the storage of the felled trees, and when everything was arranged, they followed the rope to the stone house. Exchanged for some grain and put it directly on the platform on the mountain.

After doing all this, Wang Gang returned to Luoyang, and Chu Yu was in Tongguan, and I believe he could arrange everything well.

When he saw Wang Yun and Jia Xu again, Wang Yun spoke.

"Ziyi, you go to Tongguan, why do you delay for so long?"

"There are some things to deal with in Tongguan, is there another big event in Luoyang" Wang Gang asked suspiciously, he had only been to Tongguan for four or five days, what big things could happen.

"There is no major incident in Luoyang, but Mr. Xun has come to you a few times, and he is scheduled to hold an apprenticeship ceremony tomorrow. You have to prepare" Wang Yun glanced at Wang Gang and said dissatisfied.

"The apprenticeship ceremony still needs to be prepared, isn't it just over with a kowtow," Wang Gang asked puzzled.

"You are as good at talking as your brother in anyone, Mr. Xun is from a famous family, and he is erudite and talented, so he naturally has to pay attention to the number of etiquette, and he will apprentice at Taichangqing's Mansion tomorrow, you and Wenhe go early, don't lose the courtesy" Wang Yun advised.

"Taichangqing's mansion, why don't you apprentice here," Wang Gang asked.

"Where did you come from so many questions, Tai Changqing is in charge of the religious rituals of the entire imperial court, and he presides over it, it is very suitable" After Wang Yun finished speaking, he snorted coldly and walked into the room.

"Mr. Jia, what's going on over there in the craftsman's workshop," Wang Gang looked at Jia Xu next to him and asked.

"Now 31,000 spears have been made, 300 short knives and 300 swords, and it is expected that another 2,000 spears will be made, which is still far from 100,000," Jia Xu couldn't help but sigh after speaking.

"I already have a way to solve the weapon matter, and the craftsman workshop will try to make it as much as possible," Wang Gang said. Now that Tongguan is open, there is no need to mobilize weapons from Yanmen, which saves a lot of trouble.

Since Zhang Rang has been promised to give 50,000 yuan first, it will not be enough to exchange some at that time. It's just that Wang Gang's idea of saving money is afraid that it will come to naught, which is also a helpless move. I just don't know how many weapons Xu Huang can bring over there, so I can save some copper coins when the time comes.

Jia Xu told Wang Gang in detail about the etiquette of tomorrow's apprenticeship, and did not let go of any details, for fear that Wang Gang would make any mistakes, and if he was embarrassed at that time, he would be ridiculed by the entire scribe world. Originally, Xun Shuang wanted to come over and talk to Wang Gang in person, but Wang Gang's figure couldn't be seen in the past few days.

Taichangqing Cai Yong's house is on Chengmen Street in Dongcheng District, this street is very wide, leading to the east of Luoyang East Gate, and to the south is Fumen Street, Situ Mansion and Sikong Mansion are all on this street.

When Wang Gang walked to the door of Cai Yong's house, several luxury carriages had been parked outside, and the small carriages that Wang Gang and Jia Xu were riding in were a little abrupt among these carriages, which also caused bursts of laughter.

Among them, a man walked on a carriage, with a weak appearance and a somewhat pale face, but the person who had not yet entered Cai's house unconsciously stopped. didn't dare to walk in front of the man, Wang Gang also glanced at Jia Xu next to him with some doubts, and when Jia Xu was about to say something, he patted Wang Gang on the shoulder.

"Brother Ziyi, I haven't seen you for a long time" The man who spoke was holding a sword in his hand, and he was dressed a little differently from the Confucian scholars who came, it was Wei Wei Shaocheng Yuan Shu.

"Brother Highway, don't come unharmed" Wang Gang also felt a little close when he saw Yuan Shu, after all, everyone was in the same guard, and they should take care of each other.

"Brother Ziyi is the protagonist today, but I want to win some face for Wei Wei, and let those sour Confucians know that it is useless to study hard," Yuan Shu whispered into Wang Gang's ear.

"What do you mean by this, Brother Highway," Wang Gang asked with some puzzlement.

"Didn't Mr. Xun tell you, today is the birthday of everyone Cai, and they specially held a poetry meeting to talk about the scriptures. You represent our Weiwei family, and you can't lose face," Yuan Shu said.

"Talking about the scriptures? No one told me that Brother Highway is also an official of the Wei Wei family, and he must do his best," Wang Gang said with some confusion.

"I was dismissed and investigated yesterday, and now there is only Brother Ziyi left in Weiwei," Yuan Shu laughed in a low voice and walked into Cai's house.
