Chapter 240: Xanadu
Now that we're done with business, the rest is much simpler. Gao Shun has also returned the Yang family's property to Yang Xuan, but those copper coins will have to wait for Fan Chong to count them tomorrow, which will not delay Yang Xuan's friendship as a landlord and hold a feast in the Yang family.
And on top of the banquet, wine fights are naturally indispensable. And the Yang family also had fewer scruples, and frequently sent people to challenge the people on Wang Gang's side, Wang Gang either asked Wu Zhaoshang or let Zhao Yunshang go up.
The banquet was less than halfway through, and both of them were a little staggering and unsteady on their feet, so Wang Gang had no choice but to order.
"The two of you failed to fight wine, so that the general lost face, so I will punish the two of you to keep vigil today and go to the east city wall to be on duty"
The two agreed, thinking about Dongcheng District with a bitter face, and the conversation between the two could be heard in the distance.
"General Zhao, how can you lose to Yang Zhen's kid with your fist?"
"Don't you lose too"
"But I don't lose as much as you"
"How much do you say you lost"
"Not as much as you anyway"
"You're more"
The two of them shouted, and their voices gradually became quieter.
The banquet continued, and this time everyone became a little reserved, after all, there were few people on Wang Gang's side, and the persuasion of wine had also become so pointed, and when the banquet was about to end, a soldier hurriedly came to report and said.
"General Qiyu, General Zhao and General Wu Zhao competed and accidentally collapsed a gap in the city wall"
Wang Gang pretended to be frightened, and slammed the low table and said.
"It's the other way around, take me to see it"
The banquet also dispersed, Yang Xuan wanted to go over to have a look, but was stopped by Wang Gang, saying that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and Yang Xuan had no choice but to give up.
Wang Gang came to the city wall and saw Zhao Yun and Wu Zhao standing by a collapsed city wall, missing two children who had made mistakes.
"The last general knocked down the city wall by mistake, and begged the general to punish him," Wu Zhao knelt down and said.
Zhao Yun next to him also hurriedly knelt down, and most of the wine woke up.
"The last general is also responsible, please punish the general as well"
Wang Gang surrounded the collapsed city wall, looked left and right twice, and the south side had collapsed more than half, revealing the stone houses inside, but they were covered by rubble, and they couldn't see it for a while.
"General Zhao, please get up, the city wall collapses and then repair it, and it is you who have discovered the problem of the city wall, not only have no fault but have merit, but you have fought privately, and the merit is offset. You go to the west city wall to guard, and leave it to Wu Zhao here."
Wang Gang helped Zhao Yun up and said with a smile.
Zhao Yun was also very moved, Wang Gang found the steps for them, and took the soldiers to the west city wall. Waiting for Zhao Yun to walk away, Wu Zhaocai stood up and said.
"General, I'm acting like this"
"Yes, yes, I'll look for you next time something like this"
"Don't, don't, don't, you can spare me, Zhao Yun's kid is really strong, if I didn't have a leaf lance, I would have been defeated by him today, and this city wall is too hard, I stabbed it more than a dozen times before it collapsed" Wu Zhao said begging for mercy.
"It's hard work, let the soldiers clean up the rubble"
Fan Chong and Wu Zhao stepped forward and cleaned up for two hours before the rubble was cleaned up. The three of them walked into the stone room, the air was still filled with gravel chips, Wang Gang suddenly became a little entangled, since opening the Jingcheng Pass, he was opening a fission to unlock the sixth-level exchange, but he has not saved enough copper coins to buy special exchange items.
Under the light of the torches, Wang Gang saw the whole picture of the stone room, and what surprised him was that there was no stone platform inside, but a stone tablet in the corner, which was a bit like a building similar to the crape myrtle stargazing platform.
"General, this is a special exchange device, which can be met but not sought," Fan Chong said happily.
"Special exchange" Wang Gang was also surprised, and took a torch to look closer. Four lines of small characters were engraved on it with Qin seals.
The mountains and rains return to the dream, and the blue pond opens every day.
The Duyun wind moves the river crane, and the golden beast comes for a hundred months
Wang Gang read it twice and didn't understand what it meant, Fan Chong was also silent, Wu Zhao stepped forward and twisted the stele hard, the stele did not move at all, which made him quite annoyed, and took out the spear and stabbed it in a clink, and suddenly sparks splashed. The stele was not damaged in the slightest.
"Wu Zhao is useless, brute force can't be opened" Wang Gang has a deep understanding, at that time in Ziwei Terrace, he also tried a few times, but it didn't work at all.
Fan Chong stepped forward, read the four sentences carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said.
"This should be Tianyue Terrace"
Wu Zhao and Wang Gang were suddenly overjoyed.
"How do you open that?"
"I don't know about this," Fan Chong said, spreading his hands.
The two of them suddenly lost interest in continuing to talk, and the three of them took torches and looked carefully in the stone room, searching every corner of the stone room, but they did not find any useful information.
"General, look here," Wu Zhao said, pointing to a small gap behind the stone stele. This gap is close to the stele, as if the stele is not placed properly, and there is a gap between it and the ground, so you can't see it at all if you don't pay attention.
Wang Gang looked at it twice, but he didn't see any difference, Wu Zhao knocked twice with the tip of the gun and there was no response, which made Wang Gang quite frustrated, and there was no square in front of the stone stele, it was completely a plane. It's completely impossible to imagine that crape myrtle platform is open.
The three of them were busy in the stone chamber until dawn, and they couldn't find any useful information, and it was the gap that was a bit like a keyhole. The three of them have always been aware that there is a lack of something like a key, otherwise they would not be able to open the Tianyue platform.
"Seal it up first, and then open it when you find the key" Wang Gang yawned, and he didn't sleep all night, which made him a little sleepy, and the passion for opening the exchange device was also consumed little by little.
In the next two days, Wang Gang followed Yang Xuan to inspect the mines, pacify the miners, and clearly told them that they would be subordinate to the government and treated the same as joining the army. When the people of Fenyang heard about it, there were thousands of young people who were willing to go to the mine to mine.
"Zhou Mu, according to this progress, the mine will be filled with ore in half a month, do you consider transporting some of it?"
"I don't need to transport it out first, I plan to build some smelting plants in Fenyang County, and smelt these ores into primary iron or copper ingots before transporting them, which will greatly save manpower and material resources." You can discuss the specific situation with Bian Gong," Wang Gang said, introducing Bian Gong to Yang Xuan.
"Bian Gong is familiar with iron smelting, and he will assist Yang in the future."
Yang Xuan was overjoyed when he heard it, he had been groping for half his life, the iron-smelting process had been at a low level, and finally he had to give up.
After arranging the matter of iron smelting, Wang Gang left Fenyang with Wu Zhaofan Chong, and as for Zhao Yun, he was with Liu Ao three days ago. led two thousand Fenyang soldiers to Jinyang County.
The war horse galloped for a while, and after half a day, they came to the legendary Luming Mountain.
What surprised Wang Gang was that it was not said to be warm as spring here, the temperature was much higher than outside, some trees still had leaves, there was a faint green on the ground, the mountains in the distance were stacked, the cliffs were towering, straight and precipitous, a waterfall in the mountain stream flowed down, the small river meandered by, it was the middle of winter, the river was not frozen, but it was a white mist, several women were washing clothes by the stream, and the laughter like silver bells came out from time to time, a good paradise.
