The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Early the next morning, the group set out for Jingxiang.

Gu Yuzhi couldn't help but think of the origin of these fortresses mentioned by Mr. Huo. When he saw them again, Gu Yuzhi felt a strange feeling in his heart.

He tapped the position of his heart and said silently: "Teacher Shu, why do I feel a little sad..."

He gestured with his index finger and thumb: "It's still a little shocking."

In addition to shock, there is another, very strange feeling.

But he couldn't tell, and he didn't know how to describe it.

This feeling is especially strong the further you go inside, when the exterior of the fortress is no longer white.

He slowly talked to Shu Xiaohan about his inner feelings, looking straight at these fortresses until the carriage stopped.

Shu Xiaohan couldn't help but look out from Gu Yuzhi's perspective.

When I revisited my old place, I was confused the first time and shocked the second time.

The ancients were indeed wise.

As a researcher, she could not understand the principle of resisting enemies of these white fortresses, but she knew that these white fortresses had made great contributions in the battles to defend Mobei and resist Beidi.

These white fortresses, and the stories behind these fortresses, should have been recorded in history, but because of the selfish interests of the King of Chu, the people here were ruined and their families were destroyed, and these fortresses were abandoned for so many years.

Shu Xiaohan sighed silently, feeling that these blackened fortresses and the wild grass were tragic.

Mr. Huo was already upset when he saw these familiar fortresses again after so many years. When he jumped out of the carriage, he staggered a little. He walked slowly to a white fortress, patted the fortress gently, and then gave a self-deprecating smile.

Now that things have come to this, he naturally won't dwell on the past too much. The present and future are the most important!
Mr. Huo led Gu Yuzhi and others to walk slowly inside, explaining as they walked: "Your Highness, although these fortresses seem to be randomly distributed, in fact, each fortress was carefully designed when it was built."

What is involved is naturally how to use these fortresses more rationally and flexibly.

No matter how powerful the fortress is, it is still a dead thing and has fatal flaws.

As long as the enemy completely captures this place and sets a fire, the people in the fortress will have no chance of surviving. They will either be burned alive or be killed by thick smoke.

The tragedy in Jingxiang that year was precisely because the other party took advantage of this.

Therefore, when building a fortress, you want to avoid this shortcoming to the greatest extent possible.

Mr. Huo continued: "The outer walls of these forts are not easy to catch fire, so the distance between each fort is not very far, just to facilitate that if a fire breaks out in one house, the surrounding forts can respond quickly."

"And the most important thing is, if someone unfamiliar with you walks into the inner circle of this fortress..."

As Mr. Huo spoke, he knelt down and drew quickly on the ground. After a while, the entire distribution of fortresses in Jingxiang was drawn.

He pulled a tree branch casually and said, "Did your Highness see anything?"

What do you see?
Gu Yuzhi scratched his head and leaned forward to take a closer look. After a while, he was unsure and asked: "Is this a maze?" Mr. Huo nodded and responded: "Your Highness is right. This is a maze, but it is not exactly a maze. It needs to be Combined with infrastructure such as trees, flowers, and water channels, it can be transformed into different and more complex mazes.”

Throughout the dynasties, all areas in Mobei would be invaded by the Beidi people, and the Sang Dynasty was no exception.

The Huo family has been stationed here since the founding of the country. After several generations, they are most familiar with the fighting methods of the Beidi people, but the Beidi people will change.

They also began to learn the culture of the Central Plains, the art of war of the Central Plains, and how to use force to weaken the weak.

The Huo family naturally understood that if their military tactics remained unchanged, it would be a matter of time before they were defeated by the Beidi people.

So the Huo family took this into consideration when building this white fortress.

As long as the Beidi people enter the fortress, they can be trapped inside.

Gu Yuzhi was stunned when he heard this. He just felt that the Huo family was so smart. These fortresses that originally looked solemn had become mysterious.

He couldn't help but feel a little happy when he thought about the scene where the Beidi people rushed in aggressively, only to find that they couldn't find the exit, ran around inside, and were finally shot dead.

Although Xie Changshi and others knew the function of this fortress, it was the first time they knew that the distribution of this fortress actually had such knowledge.

Everyone listened with great concentration, and Mr. Huo also took this opportunity to tell them some relatively simple maze layouts.

Mentioning these things, Mr. Huo even had a smile on his face: "After one or two times, the fortress labyrinth spread among the Beidi people, so the Beidi people were very careful about it, but once they entered Jingxiang, they couldn't help it. .”

Because the entrance to the maze is secretive, Beidi people have entered the maze without knowing it, and by the time they realize it, they can no longer get out.

Gu Yuzhi kept clicking his little head. After clicking, he felt a little dizzy. He held his head and looked at Xie Changshi: "Xie Changshi, why do you have two heads..."

Xie Changshi...

Xie Changshi was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward and hugged Gu Yuzhi, and saw that his face was a little red. He looked up at the sky and said worriedly: "The sun is scorching hot. Could it be that His Highness is suffering from heatstroke?"

Mr. Huo was also frightened by Gu Yuzhi's words. He dropped his stick and stepped forward to check.

However, Gu Yuzhi shook his head violently and became even more dizzy. He was so frightened that he huddled motionless in Xie Changshi's arms.

Xie Changshi hurriedly carried him back to the carriage, opened his clothes a little, and fanned him gently with a fan.

This is not Wen Mansion, so there is naturally no ice to cool down His Highness. After such a long journey, and the fact that the few people just didn’t notice the time when they were talking, His Highness doesn’t know how long he was exposed to the sun before he had such an illusion.
Mr. Huo took the guards to find some medicine to relieve the heat and came back. Gu Yuzhi had fallen into a drowsy state and his cheeks were much redder than before.

The little white snake that had been staying in his wrist now coiled itself up in circles and lay firmly on Gu Yuzhi's forehead, fully functioning as an ice towel.

Gu Yu didn't wake up until late in the evening. He looked at the dim carriage and then at Mr. Huo, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating next to him. He stepped forward and said in a very soft and mysterious voice: "Mr. Huo, I want to tell you a little secret."

Mr. Huo was stunned for a moment, followed his example, and whispered, "What's the little secret?"

Gu Yuzhi nodded solemnly as he spoke, saying that what he said was true: "Before I fainted, I really saw that Xie Changshi had two heads!"
