When Lu Junyi and the others came to the capital, they saw that the weather in Kaifeng was different from that in Damingfu. It was more lively. Standing on the bridge, they saw cargo ships slowly approaching in the Wuzhang River. The draft was extremely deep, and there were more than a dozen people.
The man was paddling shirtless, and the whistle was loud. A dozen cables were thrown from the dock on the shore, and he was struggling to pull him to the shore.
The stalls on both sides of the strait were set up all the way to the bridge, and urchins were running around. A kind-hearted middle-aged woman was holding a bunch of candied haws and tempting a little girl: "Mommy has candy in her hand, go back with her..."
"
The little girl shook her head like a rattle, and the woman continued to follow her lead. Yan Qing next to him saw that the woman looked wrong, and she didn't look like a good person. She looked like a trafficker who specializes in kidnapping and selling children. She was secretly angry, got off her horse, and said in surprise: "Qing
Son, sister, why are you here? Your parents have been looking for you for a long time, go home with your brother quickly!"
"I don't know you." The little girl was not afraid of strangers at all. She looked up at him curiously and praised, "You are such a good-looking official, and your arms are hundreds of kilograms strong. You are a man."
The woman also raised her head to look at Yan Qing and sneered: "I met my colleague, you look like a good guy, but I didn't expect you are also from the Shi Yao Sect. Whose disciple? Tell me your name, maybe I can still
Meet your master!"
Lu Junyi and Yan Qing were furious after hearing this. This woman was so shameless, she kidnapped a young girl on the street, and she was so confident. They were about to take her down for questioning when suddenly Shi Qian came out and said happily: "Aunt Xi, it's really you!"
"Hold the woman's thigh and don't let go - no choice, he is too short, so I can only hold her thigh.
The woman was Mrs. Shi Xi. She caught Shi Qian and looked at him several times. She quickly held him in her arms and cried with joy, "My son has been missing for so many days. I miss you so much that my mother has kissed me!" Lu Junyi
He and Yan Qing were extremely stunned.
Shi Qian finally struggled out of her arms and introduced to the two of them: "This is my aunt. When I was born, they kidnapped me because I was ugly and had a big bump on my back."
The fleas were not sold, so my old mother adopted me as her son, and the other five became aunts."
Lu Junyi and Yan Qing looked at each other, and both felt that Shi Qian's experience was extremely absurd. He was obviously abducted and was still ugly, but those female swindlers still treated him like a treasure and their own son.
Mrs. Shi Xi smiled and said: "Nonsense! There are six of us sisters, all of whom are your mother. If I couldn't defeat the eldest sister, I would have snatched you away long ago. How is the eldest sister?"
Shi Qian said sadly: "My aunt is dead, and I am living alone. I just can't find you, and I don't want to kidnap and sell children. So far, I have made a living by some small means. I heard that my aunt is prosperous in Beijing, so I ran over to see if there is anyone there.
What a living."
Mrs. Shi Xi slapped him hard and said with a smile: "Follow me. I am now a fourth-level warlock and a celebrity in front of the Master of the Martial Pavilion. Isn't it easy for you to make a living?" Xiang Lu Junyi said: "These two
Is this official your colleague?"
Lu Junyi and Yan Qing said in unison: "We don't know him!" Before he finished speaking, Shi Qian jumped on his horse and said with a smile: "Aren't we traveling together? They are all heroes who came to seek refuge with Lord Wu. We talked and had a heart-to-heart relationship with him on the road!
"
After hearing this, the two of them rolled their eyes. Madam Shi Xi picked up the little girl and said with a smile: "This is Chen Liqing. She loves to play tricks the most. Our Pavilion Master is very precious. When I heard you say that just now, I thought I was in trouble."
Then our colleagues from the Demon Sect will deceive our little princess!"
Chen Liqing smiled sweetly at Yan Qing and said, "You are so good-looking, and you are even prettier than sister Yanran when you are dressed up."
Yan Qing said in a muffled voice: "I am a man."
"I know. You are so beautiful. If you wear a pink skirt with ruffles and embroidery, a hairstyle like a waterfall hanging on the moon, and a hairpin matching a dragon and a phoenix, it would be even better!"
After hearing this, Yan Qing burst into manly tears. The group came around the old Cao Gate and came to the old Song Gate. They saw the Tiqiu dismounting one after another and said: "The old Song Gate is Wu Guoshi's territory.
Horseback riding is prohibited.”
Lu Junyi and Yan Qing looked at each other and said to themselves: "This warrior thief is really powerful!" Before they reached Tianji Pavilion, they saw wheelbarrows pushing out from the side door of Tianji Pavilion, filled with scrap iron and garbage.
The two of them were secretly surprised. When they walked into the Tianji Pavilion, they saw that it was very hot inside. The front door was a huge furnace. There was no firewood or charcoal under the furnace, but there was a rootless fire burning blazingly. There were five or six feet of fire on both sides of the furnace.
On a high platform, seven or eight shirtless strong men were stirring the molten iron in the furnace with large iron ladles three to four feet long.
Surrounding the high platform are eight strange-shaped formations, which are made of jade. The jade is different, called rouge jade, and exudes a faint red light. Lu Junyi and Yan Qing didn't know what the use of this formation was, and they were just astonished in their hearts.
.
After taking a few steps forward, I saw four or five more giant furnaces like this. The formations next to them were all different. Some didn't even have a big furnace, and couldn't see the light of the fire. I could only see a huge metal ball floating in the air.
Next to it were several strange-looking Taoist priests, who kept adding strange and strange things to the metal ball.
Walking further, there are no more metal balls, only a hundred or so blacksmiths, wielding big hammers, working hard to build something, the sound is loud, and they are sweating like rain. Next to them, there are batches of giant machine beasts that have not been fully assembled.
It is huge in size and ferocious.
Some craftsmen used steel bars to lift the assembled machine beast and hung it above the furnace. The fire was burning below, red, green, white, black, and all kinds of flames. Not only did the machine beast not melt, but it grew in size.
Small.
The further Lu Junyi and Yan Qing walked forward, the more horrified they became. There were not only machine beasts here, but also foot-operated crossbows, siege vehicles, thunder chariots, thunder chariots and other weird things. They didn't mention these things before.
Never seen it, not even heard of it.
On the one hand, the two of them were shocked by the martial thief's arrogance, and on the other hand, they were frightened by Tianji Pavilion's strength.
"Using the world's financial and material resources to satisfy one's own desires, he is indeed a martial thief and the leader of the six traitors of the Song Dynasty! What Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng and others did is like clowns compared to him!"
The two of them walked to the depths of Tianji Pavilion and saw a giant furnace, which was much bigger than the one outside. There was a giant sword across the top of the furnace, and the whole body was as white as silver. The fire below was more than ten feet high. They saw a skinny Taoist standing there.
Under the stove, he didn't seem to care about the heat wave at all. When he opened his mouth to spit out, he saw a stream of white air spurting out from his throat and hitting the giant sword.
Mrs. Shi Xi stepped forward and said, "Deputy Pavilion Master Wang, three more people have arrived."
Wang Laozhi had no time to entertain, so he quickly said: "I am practicing my sword. You take them to the backyard to look for Mr. Zhou." He continued to concentrate on forging the sword.
Mrs. Shi Xi hugged Chen Liqing and led the three of them to the backyard of Tianji Pavilion. As soon as she stepped into the door, she suddenly felt that the noise and heat waves in her ears were gone. The backyard was quite quiet, and birds could be heard.
The children were chirping, and looking around, there were red flowers and green grass, weeping willow branches, and all the pretty maids were doing nothing. Some were sitting in the corridor reading, some were fishing by the pond, and some were sitting under the willow trees and fell asleep.
Mrs. Shi Xi smiled and said: "There is a sound barrier in the front yard, so noisy noise cannot get through."
The three of them suddenly realized that Mrs. Shi Xi brought the three of them to Zhou Tong's residence. As soon as Lu Junyi and Yan Qing saw Zhou Tong, they quickly knelt down and said, "Teacher, were you also kidnapped by the warrior?"
