The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

Chapter 67 The Situation of Countries

In the middle of the night, in the hostel run by Duanmu's family, there is an underground secret room.

Under the light of several dim bronze oil lamps, the pale Zheng Dan slowly opened his eyes.

This kind of oil lamp burns animal fat, which consumes oil very quickly and is relatively luxurious. Generally, only wealthy merchants and aristocrats can afford it.

"Sister Xiu Ming, are you awake? How do you feel?" Zhao Qing's right hand was still resting on Zheng Dan's back, conveying internal energy, while his left hand took a ceramic bowl full of medicinal soup, and helped her slowly feed her. go down.

"It's not a big problem, it's almost like sleeping. Sister Ah Qing, don't worry. Thank you for helping me heal."

Zheng Dan stroked his cold forehead, sighed lightly, took out a very thin piece of gold leaf from the light red dress on his body, and held it in his hand.

Through the dim light, Zhao Qing saw densely packed small seal characters on the gold foil, and many pictures of the human body, which seemed to be the exercises practiced by Zheng Dan.

She is not surprised that Zheng Dan's secret book is engraved on a piece of gold leaf.This is not a purely historical world, and the technological process is different, which is also a very normal situation.

Many bronze weapons seen today, such as Peng Kuo's Changge and Duanmu Shuliang's copper scale, are obviously stronger than iron weapons in the world of Liancheng Jue.

It can be said that it is quite easy for a master to press out a piece of gold leaf, and it is not necessary to write or engrave on the bamboo slips.

But having said that, the paper used for writing should not be invented until the Han Dynasty.As for papermaking technology, it seems that the difficulty is not very high. The current era should have enough technical level to make paper.

Different from technologies such as ironmaking, saddles, and stirrups, once invented and spread, it may affect the war between countries and cause a lot of casualties; papermaking should be a technology that is completely beneficial to the country and the people. You can try to do it in the future.

"There are spirits in the sky, hidden in essence, qi, body fluid, liquid, blood, veins..." Zheng Dan murmured, not shying away from Zhao Qing who was beside her.

Is it recorded here the method of blood sacrifice to the divine weapon?It doesn't sound evil. Could it be that Zheng Dan made a mistake in her practice?Zhao Qing blinked, thinking in his heart.

At this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps overhead, a thick stone slab on the top of the secret room was lifted, and a tall and thin figure jumped down gently, it was Duanmu Shuliang.

"Miss Zheng, Miss Zhao, there shouldn't be any danger tonight." Duanmu Shuliang refilled several bronze lamps in the room, and said in a deep voice.

"Is there no danger? The Hongshang sword master cut out tens of feet of strong wind with one sword. Although it should be an explosive method, it definitely crossed the threshold of strong force in terms of strength. No one in Chongquan City Humans can match."

Zhao Qing had some doubts, and asked aloud: "Or, the other party's explosive method has a strong aftereffect, and it needs to go through a period of weakness? Even if it is true, we have to guard against it."

"Peng Kui took out the three crossbows that were stored in the warehouse in the city, and set them up on the high ground in the city to deter them. This kid ran very fast before, but I didn't see that he still has such courage."

Duanmu Shuliang opened a large box of steaming food and handed it to Zhao Qing as a supplement to the energy she consumed for Zheng Dan's qi infusion treatment.

"The power of the broken gangbow is enough to pierce a vertical wall several feet thick with one arrow. Unless you are a master who has stepped into the realm of six qi, it is impossible to completely ignore it. Considering that there are masters of the same level by your side, come to think of it, then Wu The secret guards of the country will not expose themselves so easily."

After receiving the lunch box handed over by Duanmu Shuliang, and listening to Duanmu Shuliang's explanation, Zhao Qing couldn't help but nodded secretly, and asked:
"But we don't actually have experts of the same level. In the final analysis, it's just an empty city strategy. After a few days pass, the other party will eventually find out that we are just superficial. What should we do next?"

"Encountered such obstacles, normally, he should go to find his companions, and then attack together. However, I see that you don't look worried. Is there any solution?"

According to legend, crossbows appeared in the era of the Yellow Emperor, and now in the Spring and Autumn Period, there have been large-scale installations.

It is recorded in "Sun Tzu's Art of War": The expenses of the public house are broken chariots and horses, and armor and arrows.The halberds cover the oars, and the cattle and carts are on the hills, six out of ten. There is a saying in "Position": "Position is like a crossbow, and festival is like a machine."

The broken gangbow mentioned here is supposed to be a kind of crossbow machine similar to the magic weapon, which incorporates special elements of high martial arts.It can be used not only to fight against the enemy, but also to check and balance the masters in the rivers and lakes.

It turned out that when Duanmu Shuliang saw Zhao Qingqing, he showed impressive strength and a confident expression. He always thought that she was from a high-level nobleman, and her ordinary clothes were just a disguise for going out, so he didn't do it. Give a detailed introduction.

But now it seems that she should also be an ordinary Chinese who was accidentally inherited like Zheng Dan, and she doesn't know the secrets of high-level state affairs.

As for the rhetoric such as "empty city plan", he thought about it for a while and guessed the general meaning.

Seeing Zhao Qing's doubts about Wu's secret guard, Duanmu Shuliang explained in detail:

"The Hongshang Sword Master under Wu Zixu has been the most complete and capable espionage guard organization among all the countries in the world since its establishment."

"A considerable part of the reason for this is the influence of Sun Changqing's military strategy. Hehe, 'Soldiers are deceitful', it really expresses the essence of the way to use soldiers."

Sun Changqing is Sun Wu, and "Changqing" is his character.

"Under the construction of Wu Zixu and Sun Changqing, Sword Master Hongshang can be said to be omnipotent in his actions, which is beyond the imagination of 'gentlemen' from other countries."

"The five most powerful countries in the world are none other than Jin, Wu, Chu, Qi, and Qin. Among them, Jin is the country with the most conspiracies besides Wu."

"For a long time, the several families in power in the Jin Kingdom have often fought among themselves and experienced chaos. A few years ago, the Zhongxing family and the Fan family were even wiped out by other families. The three armies and six ministers became the second army and four ministers."

"Families are able to destroy each other. How can they cooperate in key intelligence aspects? And the spy guards built by a single family can't compare with the power of the entire country of Wu."

"The state of Chu has a vast territory and many talents. However, during the period of King Ping and the early days of the current King of Chu, treacherous evil was always employed, resulting in the loss of a large number of talents."

"Wu Zixu and Bo Pi, who now hold important positions in Wu State, as well as Fan Li and Wen Zhong, the officials of Yue State, all came from Chu State."
