Volume 1: Frontier Snow Chapter 021, dilemma
When Zhang Bin arrived at the cell, Xiao Wu idiot Tian Zhiyu was practicing his internal strength and mental method diligently.
Ever since Wu Lihan told him that he had broken through to the middle grade, and he himself had clearly felt the change from being reborn, his cultivation had become more conscious.
And there was nothing else to do in prison, and he spent almost all of his time cultivating.
However, just as Wu Lihan said, almost everyone who practices the inner strength of the lower grade is the same, but when it comes to the middle grade, there will be different formulas and cultivation paths, and Tian Zhiyu encountered a bottleneck here.
He felt that the true qi in his body was constantly increasing, but the path he was running was a little chaotic, and he didn't listen to his own command many times.
On several occasions, these true qi would also hit the heart, almost causing qi and blood to attack the heart. After a few lessons, Tian Zhiyu didn't dare to try again, so he first gave up his cultivation of pondering the middle grade, and honestly followed the mantra of the lower grade to strengthen the foundation.
......
When Zhang Bin saw Tian Zhiyu, he remembered that he had spent more than two months in this cell, not only did he not complain at all, but also helped the team in Cloud City defeat the powerful King of Jin.
He walked into the cell, walked to Tian Zhiyu, who was practicing with his eyes closed, and gently touched him.
Tian Zhiyu opened his eyes and saw that it was Zhang Bin, and hurriedly got up and said, "Brother Zhang." ”
Zhang Bin made a gesture to ask him to come out with him, and when the two walked out.
Tian Zhiyu secretly thought, is this going to let me out? Then I have to find a way to get Big Brother Wulihan and Ma Bencai out together.
Just when Tian Zhiyu was still thinking about how to open his mouth to intercede for the two, Zhang Bin told him Qian Jingyuan's words one by one.
Tian Zhiyu, who was still in the dream of being free, was dumbfounded all of a sudden, he never thought that the 100,000 Beiyi army would come to Cloud City, half of the reason was because of his own ......
Zhang Bin deliberately walked very slowly, he asked Tian Zhiyu as he walked, and said: "Brother Tian has been in prison during this time, the two commanders and we are deeply sorry, I hope Brother Tian, you will bear with me." ”
Tian Zhiyu waved his hand and said, "The military camp is heavy, and it is appropriate to be cautious." Besides, I didn't suffer in prison, and I learned a lot, Brother Zhang, you don't have to apologize. ”
Zhang Bin was very satisfied with his uncaring attitude, but immediately thought of the negotiation again, and said to Tian Zhiyu in a low voice: "Brother Tian, what kind of secret weapon did you use when you saved my Brother Feng that day, why is it so powerful?"
Tian Zhiyu didn't know how to answer for a while, he couldn't say that I was using a super weapon, there was no one in this world, so I was afraid I could only go out of the city and bring the gun to them.
But the shock caused by that kind of shock, I am afraid that I can only tell the whole truth, otherwise no one will believe him.
What excuse do you think?" Tian Zhiyu pondered.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhang Bin thought that he had something unspeakable, so he said: "Actually, we don't have to know, but since this Beiyi person has made a request, we have to be prepared." And to tell you the truth, it is not General Shi and General Zhu who are leading the negotiations now, but the second prince and the king of Jin. ”
Tian Zhiyu is a little big-headed, this is still an era of the supremacy of imperial power, and the second prince and the king of Jin represent the imperial power here.
Unless he is never in Dongyang Country, he can't ignore these two people.
But what excuse should I come up with?
"Brother Zhang, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's really not a sentence or two that can explain it clearly, how about you let me think about it first?"
Zhang Bin nodded and said, "Let's go slowly, you think about it." As long as the second prince and the king of Jin can believe it, it is easy for us to say it. ”
Tian Zhiyu knew that Zhang Bin had already treated him as his own, but what really embarrassed him was the second prince and the king of Jin.
The two spared a lot of time in the school field, Tian Zhiyu racked his brains, and couldn't come up with a perfect explanation, so he finally had to say to Zhang Bin: "Let's go back." ”
......
When the two of them walked to the government office, the second prince and others were discussing fiercely, and when they saw Tian Zhiyu and Zhang Bin coming in, they immediately stopped and looked at them.
Shi Guangying motioned for the two to sit down as well, Tian Zhiyu didn't know the rules of respect and inferiority here, and saw that Zhang Bin was sitting next to Shi Guangying, so he sat next to Zhang Bin.
Shi Guangying spoke first: "Zhiyu, presumably Zhang Bin has already told you the situation on the way over, we are very curious now, what was the hidden weapon you used at that time?"
Under everyone's gaze, Rao Shitian Zhiyu was naturally thick-skinned and a little embarrassed, he pretended to cough and said, "That's a crossbow-like thing, which my master spent his whole life to build. He didn't use a bow and arrows, but something like an iron ball, which had a fast firing speed and a long range, which was perfect for sniping. ”
"So where is this thing?" asked King Jin impatiently.
"On my way to Cloudsdale that day, I met a father and son of Orion. Before meeting them, I was afraid that my weapon would cause them to be wary and come into conflict with them, so I found a place to hide. Later, when I left, I thought that since I was afraid of causing conflict, I would simply not take the thing first, wait for the news to be delivered to Cloudsdale, and then return to thank the father and son, and take the thing by the way. ”
The second prince didn't seem to have any doubts, but the King of Jin looked incredulous: "Since that weapon is so powerful, why don't you carry it with you?" Aren't you afraid of encountering the Beiyi army or other fierce beasts on the way?"
"I asked the father and son of Orion at the time, and it was clear that there were not many people on the road ahead, and the beasts would not come down in winter, so as long as I was careful, there would be no problem. ”
King Jin still didn't believe it in his heart, maybe it was because he lost the ball game, so King Jin had always been haunted by it, and he had a natural hostility towards Tian Zhiyu.
In addition, the second prince inadvertently said that if Tian Zhiyu brought his football skills to the capital, it would make the fans of the whole city sensational, which further aggravated this hostility.
He also wanted to continue to question, Shi Guangying saw the hostility of King Jin, and immediately interjected: "This is not important, Zhiyu, let me ask you, can you make this machine crossbow? Or can your master leave the production method? There is a sword-casting master in Taiyuan City, Zhuo Buzhi, and the casting kung fu is first-class, maybe as long as you tell the principle, he can make it." ”
Tian Zhiyu shook his head and said, "My master has been immersed in beating and beating all his life, and he has figured out a lot of useful things, but unfortunately I don't like those by nature, so I haven't learned anything." Even my three-legged cat kung fu was forced to learn by my master. ”
"Then where is your master from? Maybe we can go to the place where you live and find out, there will always be something left. King Jin couldn't help but say.
"Master and I live in a very remote mountain village, only a day or two walk from the place where the battle took place, and that mountain village has no name, because the whole village is surnamed Tian, so we locals call ourselves Tianjiaao. ”
Tian Zhiyu made up the name casually, he didn't believe that the second prince and the king of Jin, who were relatives of the emperor, knew everything about the administrative villages of the country.
Even if they want to go to verify, I'm afraid they will have to wait for the Beiyi army to withdraw, and then make up excuses, if it doesn't work, they will slip away, and there is not only one country on this planet, Dongyang.
Several people believed Tian Zhiyu for the time being, and it was time for them to negotiate with the Beiyi people next.
King Jin asked Tian Zhiyu: "You also know that the 100,000 troops of the Beiyi people came to Yunzhong City, and in addition to asking for trade, they also asked you to go to the Beiyi Kingdom and explain your mysterious weapons to their Great Khan." ”
Tian Zhiyu didn't mind the cynicism in King Jin's tone, he didn't quite understand the true status of a prince in this imperial society.
Originally, he had read a lot of history books, and always felt that most of the princes were wine bags and rice bags, except for a few who left their names in history, such as Zhu Di, who successfully usurped the throne, King Ning, who failed to rebel, Prince Gong of the Qing Dynasty, etc., most of them disappeared in the long river of history like clouds.
These few times I saw King Jin, except that I felt that he was more impatient and angry, I didn't think he was any different from many straw bale leaders in his original world.
Tian Zhiyu has never paid much attention to this kind of person, but now that there is a second prince present, he can't help but cheer up.
"When General Zhang told me about this, I was also very puzzled, thinking that it was impossible for them to bring the whole country to kill because of this matter. But since they asked, I can go and explain it to them. ”
"If their Great Khan asks you to take them to the place where you buried your weapons, will you go?" King Jin was still aggressive.
"This," Tian Zhiyu hesitated for a moment, and said, "I should go, but I don't think anyone can make such a weapon except my master, and even if they are given one, they can't make it." ”
King Jin sneered and said, "You also underestimate the people of Beiyi, they just lack iron and copper to make weapons, and the manufacturing process is not bad at all." I heard that there is a master casting master in the royal court, although he is not as good as Zhuo Buzhi, he is also a good hand. Their Great Khan and the Four Great Banner Lords, as well as the weapons of other princes and nobles, were all forged by this master. If he had this weapon of yours and had made it according to the cat and the tiger, wouldn't it have greatly increased the casualties of our army if he fought with us in the future?"
"If King Jin says so, then reject them, I still stay in Cloud City," Tian Zhiyu is neither humble nor arrogant.
"If you don't go, the Beiyi people will definitely not give up, the 100,000 army is not a joke, although Cloud City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, casualties are still inevitable, can you take responsibility for these?"
Tian Zhiyu was a little speechless, he couldn't go, he couldn't go, he couldn't go, this King of Jin understood that he was looking for trouble.
Could it be that I will kill myself to prevent future troubles?
When he saw the sneer on the corner of King Jin's mouth, his heart was excited, this guy really doesn't want me to commit suicide, right?
......
He looked at the second prince, although the second prince didn't say a word, he had a similar expression to King Jin.
He immediately understood that it was impossible for them to let themselves run over to work for their old enemies, the Beiyi people, but they were not willing to start a war with the Beiyi people because they were alone, so the best choice was not to die by themselves, and there would be nothing left?
Damn, it's really a feudal society, human life is not as good as a dog, Tian Zhiyu scolded in his heart.
At this time, Shi Guangying, who had been silent, spoke: "Zhiyu, if according to what you said, your master's weapon is so powerful, then it must not be owned by the Beiyi people." Their wolf ambitions are already obvious, and if they are given such weapons again, it will be tantamount to adding wings to a tiger, which we do not want to see. But if they can't see you, they won't retreat easily. ”
He glanced at everyone's faces, saw that everyone didn't say anything, and then said: "Of course, it's not that we are afraid of the Beiyi people, if we really want to go to war, we are confident that we can defeat them, and if there is a way to avoid a large-scale conflict, of course it is good." So we have to come up with a way, Zhiyu doesn't have to go to Beiyi, and Beiyi can also withdraw its troops, which is the most beneficial for us. And if Zhiyu stays in our Dongyang, it is possible to create such a powerful weapon, which is the most beneficial choice for Dongyang. ”
Tian Zhiyu saw the sincerity on Shi Guangying's face, he was different from the indifference and ruthlessness of the second prince and the king of Jin, he really hoped to avoid war when Tian Zhiyu didn't have to go to Beiyi.
Others don't know the horror of large-scale battles, he knows, others don't know how terrifying the Beiyi people are to attack the city, he knows.
"Otherwise, I'll go with me next time I negotiate, explain the situation to them, and see if there is a solution. ”
King Jin, who still looked disdainful, the sneer on the corner of his mouth became more obvious: "Are you going to conquer them with football skills? These barbarians don't understand the beauty of football." ”
said as if you understand the beauty of football, Tian Zhiyu said in his heart, I have never seen Real Madrid, Barcelona, Brazil and Argentina, your football is like a child's play.
However, everyone discussed for a long time and did not come up with a good solution, at this time it was already dark, and the second prince proposed that he and King Jin go back first, and come to Cloud City early tomorrow morning.
Shi Guangying had long hoped that they would leave, but he still pretended to stay, saying that he had prepared a meal and hoped that a few people would stay for dinner.
The second prince also had his own thoughts in his heart and wanted to discuss with Lin Zhaoyang, so he rejected Shi Guangying's kindness and left Cloud City with King Jin and others.
