Chapter 37: Pit Killing

Geng Feng had just walked to the door with his new friend, and the adults in the family had already been called out by the little doll who had just run home.

"Who are you, and what are you doing at my house?"

A young man asked Yun Xiao vigilantly, and the swords in the hands of Phantom Heaven and Dai Yu made him very nervous.

"This is the Marquis of Lintong, the general of Zhengnan, who wants to see your master Geng."

Dai Yu arrogantly reported the name of Yun Xiao, if he had reported his name before, he would have scared this villager to death.

"My master is not here, I went out to meet friends."

Contrary to Dai Yu's expectations, the villager in front of him was not frightened by a large list of terrifying names. rejected Dai Yu with a calm expression. You must know that Yun Xiao's name is revealed, even the county master has to give a gift immediately.

Dai Yu felt very faceless, and the first swordsman of Jingchu was ready to teach this villager who didn't know what to do or bad to teach a lesson. Yun Xiao hurriedly stopped Dai Yu and smiled at the young farmer.

"Dare to ask Master Geng when he will come back, and Yun Xiao will come to pay a visit again."

Yun Xiao said very politely.

"The time for tutors to visit friends is uncertain, from three days to five days, to ten days and eight days. It is not uncommon for a month or two at the longest, and I don't know when the tutor will come back. ”

Young people still speak neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"What do you call it?"

"Under Geng Hong."

When he returned to Jiangdu, Dai Yu was still grinding his teeth. From time to time, the thought of going back to Haibian and the guy named Geng Hong popped up in my mind. Huantian looked at Dai Yu with a lively expression, and looked at Dai Yu with a stinky face.

Yun Xiao ignored these two guys, and just warned Dai Yu not to go to that Geng Hong's trouble. I went back to my study. Lying in the single bed in the study. took out the thin letter in his arms, put it down under his nose and sniffed it deeply before opening it. Although there is no smell in it for a long time. But Yun Xiao seemed to still smell the faint body fragrance on the goddess.

Tearing open the envelope, a strand of soft black shiny hair fell out. The hair of the goddess. Yun Xiao knows this feeling very well. Smooth and soft, elastic like the goddess's faintly glossy skin. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the smell of my hair, and gently opened the handwritten letterhead.

I read it again, and then I read it N times carefully, and I read every stroke of each word over and over again. A kind of nostalgia for home lingers in my heart, and I want to go home to see it. Luan Ling should have given birth, whether it was a boy or a girl. Anyway, Lao Tzu is a father, and there is no anxiety about squatting outside the delivery room in later generations. But there are a few different hopes, and when Batu returns, he may bring news of the child. The girl is still the son. What should I call for it?

The feeling of happiness was accompanied by a blur of consciousness, and an old man named Zhou Gong came out and sat with Yun Xiao to discuss the issue of names.

Cang Jingkong is leaving, he is the eunuch who announced the decree, and the daily itinerary is regulated. Don't spend too much time on the road. Yun Xiao personally sent Cang Jingkong outside the city, and Dou Yuan was also passing. With Dou Yuan here, it is impossible for Cang Jingkong to say too much to Yun Xiao. Fortunately, Yun Xiao has asked Batu to bring it back, and there is nothing to bring to his family. However, Liu Cheng entrusted Cang Jingkong to bring a lot of things to his home, and there were several carriages for copper coins alone.

No wonder the two of them muttered and muttered during dinner last night. It seems that Liu Cheng, this kid, has been engaged in the economy a lot during this time.

It just so happened that Dou Yuan was asking him for a lot of good wood. A sharp weapon like a three-bow bed crossbow is indispensable. It's better to make it early, as soon as he heard that he didn't want rice grain but some dried wood, Dou Yuan was relieved. He had also heard of His Majesty's decree and felt that it was definitely a huge pit.

Twenty or thirty thousand mouths add up to a larger size than the city gate of Jiangdu. Even if you have a mountain of rice, you can't help but fill it in like this. Whoever feeds so many people for a winter will break their family. Dou Yuan looked at Yun Xiao with a sympathetic look on his face, and he felt that he had the right to sympathize with such a person who was pitted by the emperor and the queen mother. Being cheated and there is nowhere to reason, that kind of pleasure is not something that everyone can withstand.

The fisherman is not there. Making a three-bow bed crossbow can only be led by Yun Xiao himself. Fortunately, these disciples of the Mo family had all participated in the manufacture of the three-bow bed crossbow before. The work was also done quickly, and two were built in just three days. Yun Xiao put it on the school field and tested it. The power is comparable to that of the one that was destroyed in the first place.

Yun Xiao, who had rested, bought gifts again and took Dai Yu and Phantom Tian to Wollongong.

Geng Feng was very happy to see his good friend. Walking on his short legs, he ran to Yun Xiao's side like a gust of wind. Holding up his dirty little hands to ask for toffee, Yun Xiao is one of his few friends, and he feels that it is natural to ask Yun Xiao for something.

"Is Master Geng back?"

Yun Xiao held a large bag of toffee and teased Geng Feng. has the demeanor of an unscrupulous uncle.

"Grandpa came back yesterday and left early this morning."

Geng Feng opened his leaky mouth and answered Yun Xiao's question. While ostentatiously shaking the toffee in his hand to the friends in the distance. Before leaving that day, Yun Xiao only gave a few toffee, and after the friends ate it, Geng Feng's status among them increased by leaps and bounds. The little kid who ran home and called the adults regretted his actions very much. I secretly decided that next time I would stay in the local mixed toffee no matter what.

Yun Xiao's face had a disappointed expression, and it was white again. Do you really want to learn from Liu Xuande's three visits to the thatched house, as for it. He is looking for Zhuge Liang, and he is just looking for a master craftsman. In terms of the scope of talent use, the two should not be players of the same level.

Although disappointed, Yun Xiao still visited the Geng family's house. This time it was still Geng Hong who came out to meet the guests, but this time it was much more polite. I also know how to salute Yun Xiao respectfully.

"The tutor just went out this morning to have a chat with his friends, and it is estimated that he will come back in three or five days. If the Marquis of Lintong has something to meet with the teacher, please come back in three or five days. ”

"Thank you so much"

Yun Xiao insisted on leaving the gift and took Dai Yu and Huantian back to Jiangdu.

In the center of the Xiangyong camp, a mysterious courtyard was established. The goshawk and the bear were guarded by the bull in person, and only the rebels captured by Yun Xiao in Liujiabao could operate inside. Goshawks and bears patrol the yard like tigers every day, if they see the captives talking to the guards.

The two vicious guys went up and cut off the captive's head with a knife, and Xiang Yong was taken away by Zhang Shisan. He whipped his body with a whip and hung himself at the door of the courtyard for two hours. And the head of the captive who spoke to him hung next to him.

Five human heads had been hung on the wooden fence, and no captives dared to speak to the guards again. I didn't dare to look at a pair, that would attract the arrogant whip of the Cang brothers.

Truckloads of mysterious things were transported into this courtyard by Luan Yong with the iron guards, but nothing was ever brought out. People were curious about this mysterious courtyard, but no one dared to take a step closer. Because Yun Xiao's order to Zhang 13 was that those who approached would be killed.

Yun Xiao had been here a few times, and was very satisfied with the work attitude of the captives. Specially add food to them, and the hot buns are enough to eat. Even everyone can get a small bowl of Yun family's steamed wine. Before that, they had to complete one last task, digging a huge pit in the yard.

The captives were overjoyed, and quickly finished their work, gathering together to eat steamed buns and drink steamed wine. I heard that this is a unique wine in the Marquis of Lintong, and I can't take a sip in Chang'an. The captives drank and ate very happily. In their memory, they have never eaten anything so delicious.

Several large pots of steamed buns were eaten, and more than a dozen jars of wine were drunk. One by one, the captives rolled around in the place with their stomachs clutched, and the screams of weakness came out intermittently. The corners of their mouths began to bleed, and some of them climbed their legs and began to move. But there were still some people who twitched on the ground and had white foam coming out of their mouths.

The bear counted and threw people into the pit, both alive and dead.

Forty-five people were no less than one, and Zhang 13 took a few people and began to fill the pit with soil. A spade of sand covered people's faces, and their eyes were wide open and motionless like the eyes of a dead fish. The sand adheres to it, making it even more turbid.

Luan Yong drove away with the iron guards driving more than a dozen carts of finished products, and the sledgehammer was still waiting for these things in the blacksmith shop.

After all the qiē was processed, the brute bull stepped on the dirt bag for a while. The ground was much smoother, as if the prisoners had never been here. Zhang Shisan was frightened and carried a shovel and led his subordinates out, and each of them took the same reward.

"What did you see today?"

"Didn't see anything."

The bear asked with a smile and a simple face, but the horizontal silk flesh on his face betrayed his murderous nature. None of the village warriors chose the wrong answer, since they were instructed by Zhang Shisan. They all memorized a standard answer.

Every time you ask a simple bear, you will put the usual money into the hands of Xiang Yong, and then the next one.

Fifty captives disappeared, and no one asked them where they had gone or what they had done. It's just that Zhang Shisan and those townsmen are always far away from that courtyard.

According to the night watchman, the abandoned yard was often infested with blue flames. And these flames will also follow people, much like the legendary ghost fire.

Yun Xiao was leading the big hammer and other Mo disciples to fill the grenade and special iron pipe with gunpowder. The iron pipes were tied to the bolts and fired from the three-bow bed crossbow. The bamboo tube is less powerful, and the shape is not aerodynamic. Streamlined iron pipes are much better.

Killing these prisoners of war was also a helpless move, and only the dead could keep the secret. If the formula of gunpowder spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The dragon king asks for a monthly pass, and the brother who has a monthly pass votes for it. (To be continued......)
