Chapter 53: The Tragedy of Huangzhou (4)
Huangzhou City, like Huating Mansion, also has an underground city. The location of its entrance was a secret, and almost everyone who knew the secret was silenced.
But Yuhan knew how to go, and she took Li Yan to the dungeon.
The scale here is not as large as that of Huating Mansion, but it is more elaborate and sturdy.
Gears, chains, waterwheels, and unknown parts are interlocking and rotating in a very regular rhythm. Torches illuminate the waves in the underground river, like schools of red fish shuttling back and forth.
Except for the two of them, there was no anger here. Li Yan suddenly felt a trace of inexplicable loneliness.
Yu Han seemed to understand what he was thinking, and said, "It's okay, just get used to it." The longer you spend with the machines, the more you'll like them. Si Ming said that these things made of bronze and wood will not deceive you, let alone harm you, and are much more reliable than people. ”
Li Yan said: "Siming trusts you very much. ”
Yu Han showed a bitter smile: "Do you think it's really bad to betray someone who trusts you so much?"
Tell you, I didn't do that, and none of the four of us would be traitors.
Generals Bai and Song died in battle, and I deliberately made the scene look like infighting. There is also General Fang, who said that it is more useful to be dead than alive, and let me use his head to gain the trust of the 'earth split'. I did.
Even now, I haven't divulged Simi's hideout to anyone else. I approached him just to ask why. ”
"And then? What are you going to do?"
"I don't know. Yuhan shook his head in confusion. "I really don't know ......"
After a few miles of walking, a splendid palace suddenly appeared in front of me, which can be described as magnificent.
Yu Han said in a low voice: "Be careful, Siming is here." ”
The two walked up to the main hall, and the palace lamp next to them suddenly turned on, and in the middle of the throne, a voice asked, "What do you think of my palace?"
When they looked up, it was Siming. The python robe on his body was gone, and it was replaced by a golden dragon robe.
It was a dragon robe that only emperors could wear.
Yu Han wanted to reprimand Siming angrily, but seeing him like this, he couldn't help but feel a little pitiful.
When one no longer hides one's ambitions, there are only two possibilities. The first is that he has enough capital to pretend anymore, and the second is when he is completely disappointed.
Huangzhou, which he had painstakingly managed, had become a ruin, his subordinates had plundered money and food on a large scale, and had become a rebellious army, and even the secret organization that had relied on him all his life had defected overnight.
No matter what the outcome of others is, he Zhang Siming will not be able to make a comeback. If you want to survive in the second half, you can only hide your name and be a lonely ghost.
But he is not awake yet, and he is still dreaming of the emperor.
Seeing his depressed appearance, Yuhan remembered his goodness.
She said softly, "Si Ming, take off that robe." You come with me and be an ordinary person in the future. Isn't it nice that there will never be any more conspiracy and calculation every day, although the tea is coarse and the rice is light?"
He looked at her like a hysterical and said, "You're not sick, are you?
Yu Han choked up and said, "It's you who is sick! Your army and city are gone, and the people outside want your head. Wake up!"
Siming sneered: "A woman is a woman in the end, and she doesn't understand anything." ”
He turned his head again and asked Li Yan, "Boy, do you understand?"
Li Yan shook his head: "I don't understand either." ”
Si Ming sighed: "I'll tell you so. Do you know why Qin Shi Huang collected the weapons of the world and cast twelve gold men in Xianyang?"
The two looked at each other, and Siming was already a little delirious.
As if he hadn't seen it, he continued: "Everyone in the world thinks that the First Emperor is afraid of others rebelling. But they were wrong! Zulong was much more clever than those ordinary people. The twelve golden figures are not ornaments, but the strongest weapon of the Great Qin Empire - the Divine Weapon.
However, it is a pity that before they were created, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's two soldiers rebelled, and the twelve divine soldiers were destroyed in the war.
Since then, in all dynasties, although there have been many attempts to do it, no one has succeeded. The reason for this is that there is a lack of design, but the most important point is that it cannot be solved by manpower. ”
Yuhan said loudly: "Don't say it, come with me!"
Siming turned a deaf ear: "The root of everything is fire. The temperature of the furnace is not enough, resulting in too many impurities in the alloy, making the parts unable to withstand the huge weight. I was very frustrated, because if I didn't have a magic weapon, I would always be missing a hole card, and the so-called hegemony would only be a castle in the air. ”
Li Yan suddenly remembered the golden toad in the tunnel of Huating Mansion, and couldn't help asking, "Could it be that you have already solved this problem?"
Siming smiled: "I didn't solve it, it was given to me by God."
Hidden beneath the city of Huangzhou lies a pool of lava that is hotter than any fire in the world, allowing bronze, white steel, and tin to blend together.
Thousands of years ago, what even Qin Shi Huang couldn't ask for, was found by me so easily, what is it if it is not the mandate of heaven?
You should all be honored to witness this great invention. ”
He suddenly pushed the chair violently, and the whole palace trembled, and the whole palace collapsed.
Li Yan grabbed Yuhan and jumped out. Bricks, tiles, stones, and wood were thrown like hailstones. Yuhan shouted, "Si Ming, Si Ming!" but there was no response. Dust enveloped the dungeon for a long time.
Yu Han didn't care about the danger, shook off Li Yan, rushed to the ruins and shouted, "Si Ming, where are you?"
As she shouted, she dug down with both hands.
But under the rubble, she suddenly found a pair of iron palms no less than the size of the Huangzhou City Gate bent into a ring, protecting the people below.
Of course, this man is Sima.
An iron giant rises from the ruins. It is more than ten feet tall, and its face is shaped like a heavenly demon in the Buddhist scriptures, and its body is tightly fitted, without a trace of melting. Its body reflected the light of fire, like a mountain peak in the twilight.
There was no joy, anger or sorrow in the bronze eyeballs, only the four were empty.
The giant had a protruding platform on its chest, and it gently placed it on it.
Siming said: "Among the four disasters of the morning fog, only the identity of the sky collapse is a mystery. Now I tell you, this is the collapse of the sky. ”
Yu Han shouted loudly: "Even if you have this iron man, what if you can rely on it to make the people of the world surrender?"
Si Ming said angrily: "Shut up! Whoever disobeys me will kill him, and you will do the same! Don't think I don't know what you think, you didn't betray me, just because others haven't offered the right price." Once the temptation is big enough, you will betray me!"
Yu Han gritted his teeth and asked, "I am this kind of person in your mind?"
"That's right!" cried out Si Ming frantically. "And you, one-armed swordsman, you fought against me when you were in Huating Mansion. Who are you sacred?"
Li Yan said: "Si Ming, we have seen it a long time ago - in the Qin Palace. At that time, you were the son of the world, and I was the cook. ”
"Are you...... You're the ...... who ran away."
"Yes. The ugly monster who was almost killed by you, Li Yan. ”
