Tianjiazhuang has long been famous, since the advent of mosquito coils, to the waterwheel, and then to the appearance of Huoxiang Zhengqi water, every action has to gather a lot of attention. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Wannian County Order suddenly visited.

Han Yue was not at home at that time, and when the Wannian County Commander came to Tianjiazhuang with two small officials, he was leading a group of people to work in full swing on the mountain.

This hill is next to Tianjiazhuang, close to Weishui in the west, and looks at Chang'an in the east, although it is only a small barren ridge that is not high or short, but it is also a little rugged and tiring to climb.

Wannian County Ling is an old man in his fifties, the so-called youth is easy to go, the years are not forgiving, a winding mountain road has not been completed, but he is already tired and out of breath.

"This little brother, I don't know how long it will take to meet the Marquis of Jingyang?" Wannian County Commander gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, he glanced at the mountain road above, felt a little stunned in his heart, and couldn't help but start asking the person who led the way.

It is not someone else who leads the way, it is the bastard young man Tian Ergou, because he is clever and slippery, so whenever there are characters in Tianjiazhuang who visit, he comes forward to cater to him.

Tian Ergou heard the county order ask him, and hurriedly piled up a smile on his face and said, "My lord is tired, so let's take a break and leave!" My brother-in-law and brother-in-law are working on the top of the mountain, and I am afraid that there are still hundreds of steps away from here. ”

"A few hundred steps away? Then don't rest! Wannian County Commander wiped his sweat vigorously, he took a breath hard, and said: "This county has something important to ask the Marquis of Jingyang, but don't dare to delay the time, let's go up." ”

"Okay!" Tian Ergou agreed, turned around and continued to lead the way in front.

Wannian County Commander quietly gave the two little officials a look, one of them nodded hurriedly, he hurried to Tian Ergou's side in a few steps, and said cautiously: "This brother, I heard you call Jingyang Hou your brother-in-law just now, I don't know if you are ......"

Tian Ergou smiled and said in a low voice: "My cousin is Tian Doudou, and he will be the wife of the Hou Ye in the future, do you think I should call him my brother-in-law?" ”

"Awesome! Unexpectedly, it was the wife and brother of the Hou in person, and the villain was rude! The little official complimented, and before he knew it, his waist bent a little.

Tian Ergou was a little proud, but he said: "Don't talk nonsense about this, my brother-in-law has a big temper, if he hears me yelling around, and thinks that I am acting in his name, maybe he will get angry." As you know, my brother-in-law is a child of God, and starting a fire is not something ordinary people can bear. ”

"That's that! Hou Ye's temper is indeed some... That one. The little official nodded again and again, with a palpitating look on his face. He had seen Han Yue and knew that Tian Ergou was not talking nonsense.

The last time the household department gave the field, he and another junior official brought Li Junsheng, an official of the household department, here. That Li Junsheng was born in the Li family in Longxi, and as a result, Han Yue was still deflated. Dare to work hard with the nobles of the family, and the average county man does not have such a stinky temper.

"My brother-in-law is not only grumpy, but he is also eager to take revenge! Whoever dares to mess with him, hum hum hum! Tian Ergou snorted for a while, and suddenly lowered his body and said to the little official: "It's not to scare you, our brother-in-law is a figure who can reach the sky, this time the Taiyuan Wang family is looking for trouble for us, and the lawsuit even hit Dali Temple, and guess what?" Not only did the big men of the Manchu Dynasty go to support it, but even His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Mother came in person. What a strong family the Taiyuan Wang family is, in the end, they didn't obediently hold their tails and apologize to our brother-in-law. ”

"Awesome! The villain has heard about this! Jingyang Hou's backer is really... Hey, it's sky-high. The little official nodded and bowed, with a respectful face, the little people are born to be left and right, this little official walks in the yamen all the year round, and naturally knows that he should be praised, he continued: "The Taiyuan Wang family has no eyes, and he dares to provoke the Marquis of Jingyang, and it is light for them to apologize." ”

Tian Ergou glanced at him angrily and said lightly: "Do you think it's so simple to apologize?" ”

"Is there anything else?"

"That's nature! How can you make them look good......" Tian Ergou made an accented nose and snorted: "With my brother-in-law's temper, who can please him if he provokes him?" Tell you, before the lawsuit was over, my brother-in-law waved his hand and summoned a thunderbolt and directly blew up the Wang family's mansion. ”

"Hiss-" The little official gasped and said, "It turns out that the Wang family's mansion was struck by lightning, and it was really done by the Hou Ye?" ”

Tian Ergou nodded with a big thorn. "Except for my brother-in-law, who else would have such skills."

The little official swallowed and spat quietly, slowly retreated to the side of the Wannian County Order, and whispered: "Your Excellency, ......"

Wannian County Ling's face was cloudy, and he suddenly waved his hand lightly, and a sigh came out of his mouth. The little official was well-behaved, and hurriedly stopped talking.

The small barren mountain is not high, the mountain road is not far away, and a few people walked for a while, and suddenly the eyes suddenly opened up, and they found that they had reached the top of the mountain.

From afar, I saw Han Yue leading a group of people to work, hundreds of people were shuttling on the mountain, and everyone was digging with a fine steel shovel.

"What is this going to do?" Wannian County Commander was curious, he looked at Han Yue under the guidance of Tian Ergou, but saw that the young wizard who passed on Chang'an was shirtless, also holding an iron shovel and digging the soil.

The county man is also considered noble, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that a young county man would do his own work.

Seeing that the cliff rocks and mud on the top of the mountain were dug up in a mess, there were generally three trenches, one zhang wide and about six feet deep, and a man in the prime of life could only show his head when he jumped in.

Behind the three trenches was an earthen fort under construction, all of which were made of large hard stones, and looked like a huge column, with no windows around it, but a dozen or so small holes.

The earthen fort occupies a very large area and is very high, I don't know what kind of construction techniques are adopted, the upper and lower are divided into as many as five floors, if it is used to live in people, I am afraid that it can be stuffed into three or four hundred mouths.

Wannian County's eyes flashed, and he was a little shocked in his heart. After all, he is an official, and he is more knowledgeable than the two petty officials, and he doesn't know what the three moats are used for, but looking at the construction pattern of this earthen fort, it is very similar to the towers on the Great Wall in the north.

The most striking thing was not the earthen tower, but the two strange objects on top of the earthen tower, which resembled a huge tree trunk, but the whole body was dark and shiny, apparently made of fine iron. It's a stout and hideous thing, with delicate wheels at the bottom, and I don't know what it's used for.

"Didn't you ......see it, did the adults see it" Tian Ergou suddenly pointed to the two giants, and said in a low voice: "What is that called a red coat and a cannon, it is a newly made treasure made by my brother-in-law, it is said that mortals can also be angry and angry, and can blow things five miles away to smithereens." ”

"Hiss-" Wannian County Commander gasped coldly, and said in disbelief: "A thunder that mortals can control? How is this possible. ”

"What my brother-in-law makes, where will there be fake ......" Tian Ergou was about to brag, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Han Yue coming over here, he was abrupt in his heart, and said hurriedly: "My lord, you still ask him yourself, I still have to leave beforehand!" ”

Leaving the Wannian county order, he ran away in a panic.
