Xingzi Fort is built on the mountain and is located at the junction of the Song Dynasty and Xia Dynasty. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are not many local people. Now that the two countries are in a period of confrontation, Yu Size issued an order to forcibly relocate the people.
When we arrived at Zhuoluo City, the entire Xingzi Fort suddenly turned into an empty city.
The north end of the city is originally the area where wealthy households live, but the so-called wealthy households are just larger than the homes of ordinary people. In the northwest, there are basically no pavilions, pavilions, bridges or flowing water, but generally the yards are huge.
On this day, a sudden order was issued, and this area was designated as a restricted area, and no other people were allowed to approach it.
None of the soldiers of any rank in the Xia army knew what was going on, and even if they wanted to find out some inside information, they could not find out. Even the guards around Yuan Size were at a loss. Many people wanted to see what was going on, but they found out before they even reached the door.
The place was already heavily guarded, and the courtyards were surrounded so that no flies could fly in. But when I asked the guards, I still got the same answer: I don't know.
In the largest courtyard in the middle, Xu Zizhen and Du Jin sat opposite each other. The afternoon sun was shining warmly on their bodies, which was very comfortable. Everyone in the Tianxiahui and Bu Fen and others found their own rooms to rest, and the large place seemed quiet.
pole.
Du Jin didn't talk too much to Yun Size. We were all smart people. Moreover, Yuan Size was a person who climbed up from the bottom step by step. He saw the class struggle very clearly. In his opinion, Du Jin offered a bludgeon.
There is only one reason, and that is to get ahead.
The levels in the Sanjue Hall are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuanhuang, and there are four levels for civil, military, and military skills. However, only Gongshu does not have a heaven-level grade. This is also related to the special nature of the Gongshu Hall, and Du Jin is the number one in the Gongshu Hall.
One of the few Earth Levels, Yuan Size knew without even thinking that Du Jin would be unhappy when he came back this time. The reason was for no other reason than that Ji Shou was promoted to the Earth Level Engineering Technique in Sanjue Hall.
In this way, he is not the one who has the final say on the Sanjuetang craftsmanship around Xingzi Castle and even Zhuoluo and Nanjunsi.
Anyone with some ability will be arrogant, especially a high-level executive of the Gongshu Hall like Du Jin. Yuan Size even speculated that Du Jin's ambitions should be more than that. He might want to get closer to him by imitating fire guns.
, if successful, it is more likely to reach the sky and enter the court in one step.
Sanjuetang, no matter how powerful it is, is just a shady organization. How can it be as real as an official position conferred by Yubi?
After Xu Zizhen listened to Du Jin's conversation with Yuan Size, he smiled and said: "It seems that Yuan Size can't hold it in any longer. This old bastard thinks you want to take this opportunity to climb up. In fact, his ambitions are not the same."
Not small."
Du Jinshen thought so: "Exactly, if my guess is correct, Yu Size will cooperate with me to designate this place as a restricted area. I'm afraid he wants to use muskets to form his private army."
Xu Zizhen said: "That's for sure. Although Yuan Size is close to the Xiao family, how can a person like him be willing to live under others for a long time? If you give him an opportunity, you will definitely not miss it. If you really build such a team for him,
If he is a private soldier, then the Xiao family will no longer be in his eyes. When the time comes, he will definitely use this to climb to a higher position of power, and even old man Chongzong may be in trouble."
Du Jin smiled bitterly and said, "But right now we are the ones in trouble. It is true that this place is a restricted area, but we are completely under Yuan Size's nose, so how can we do anything else?"
Xu Zizhen smiled: "I didn't say I wanted to do anything else. Just rest during this period and pretend to make iron and make molds every day so that he can see the excitement."
Du Jin didn't know how many days he had to wait, but the courtyards became lively in the following days. Convoys of ore, charcoal, and water prices were delivered one after another, and several hills were piled up in the courtyard, rows high.
The stove was set up, and the fire burned brightly every day, slowly refining the ores.
Huan Size came to visit several times, and each time he came alone. Work was in full swing in the yard. A group of "Tubo people" headed by Tang Lun were all shirtless and working hard, occasionally saying a few words.
The words are spoken in Tubo language with perfect pronunciation and no flaws at all.
Naturally, Du Jin didn't have to work. He always accompanied Yun Size on inspection tours. Neither of them talked about anything in depth. It was like it was just a simple small workshop, doing something that no one was interested in.
Just ordinary things.
This is still a closed restricted area, and Fong Size still comes to inspect it every day. Xu Zizhen and others also have something to do as usual, which is to go for a walk every night when the moon is dark and the wind is high.
With the skills of everyone in the Tianxiahui, no one would be able to sneak out of the courtyard without being discovered. Their purpose is very clear, which is to find out every road in the entire Xingzi Castle as soon as possible. It must be said that these people are experienced in the world.
Man, four days later, a complete map of Xingzi Castle was spread out in front of Xu Zizhen.
"Good guys, you are really capable!" Xu Zizhen looked at the picture in surprise and blurted out a compliment.
Everyone in Tianxiahui just smiled, while Mu Dongbai curled his lips.
Xu Zizhen saw clearly with his sharp eyes, glanced at him and said, "Your face is paralyzed? Say something if you feel unhappy."
"You!" Mu Dongbai hated Xu Zizhen the most because he was so talkative and could say anything. He took a breath and endured it, and said disdainfully, "It's just a detailed plan. Could it be that Mr. Xu thinks that in the world, I will care about such a trivial matter?"
Will it take more than ten days?"
Xu Zizhen laughed: "Hey, I don't look down on Tianxiahui, but from your tone, it seems that you are quite capable?"
Mu Dongbai said neither humble nor arrogantly: "I don't dare!"
Xu Zizhen nodded: "Okay, since you think this job is easy, I will arrange something a little more difficult for you."
Mu Dongbai said proudly: "But it doesn't matter."
Xu Zizhen touched his chin and pondered for a while, then said: "Sooner or later we have to take action, but there is still one important thing we need right now. Why don't we trouble Brother Mu to go over? This job is not difficult to say... Oh, I said it.
In terms of Brother Mu’s skills.”
Mu Dongbai said impatiently: "What exactly is it?"
Xu Zizhen said leisurely: "Fun Size's Tiger Talisman Commander."
"Hiss..." Mu Dongbai suddenly took a breath of cold air. Tiger Talisman Commander? Only Yuan Size has this thing, and it is usually well hidden. He can't even see it. Let him go.
Steal? The layers of defenders outside the commander's camp are not decorations. Isn't this a clear indication that he is going to die?
Xu Zizhen sneered: "Don't brag anymore? Aren't you very capable?"
Mu Dongbai finally couldn't hold himself back and said angrily: "How can it be so easy to obtain the Tiger Talisman Commandery? You are clearly trying to embarrass me!"
Xu Zizhen sneered and said: "Successful people find ways, failed people find excuses!" After speaking, he turned to look at He Liangliang standing in the last row, pointed with his hand, "Liangliang, do you think this is difficult?
"
Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on He Liangliang, which made him seem a little overwhelmed. He glanced at Xu Zizhen and muttered: "Brother, that..." As he spoke, he took a few steps and walked out of his arms.
He took out a command arrow and said, "I've found it."
Mu Dongbai's expression suddenly froze, and he stared at the fiery red arrow in stunned silence.
