Fu Hao Jing Wan sounds like a large villa, but in fact this place was built in the early years as a cultural square to promote divorce and remarriage of widowed women. This shows Ye State's obsession with population growth.
Later, during the New Deal of Ye King Yuan Zhen, a bold and outspoken official came directly. He claimed that the plummeting population of the country was closely related to late marriage, late childbearing, and unmarried infertility. The state must forcefully intervene to avoid the population decline of Ye State and solve the problem of the country's future for more than ten years. The problem of weak strength and insufficient reserve forces in years and decades.
As soon as these words came out, the whole court was shocked, but no one dared to say it, and no one dared to believe it. King Ye was also hot-headed and believed it, so he started the decades-long law of "bring-off" of forced marriage. .
Once a man or woman reaches the age of sixteen, regardless of whether they are a commoner or not, as long as they are not married, the state will forcibly allocate marriages uniformly.
Therefore, Fuhao Jingwan, a tepid fortification that belongs to cultural propaganda, was abandoned by such a law not long after it was built. It fell into disrepair and became deserted and became dense with weeds. An eight-foot-tall stone statue of Fuhao was about to be destroyed. These haystacks were buried.
In previous years, the grass was still green at this season, but this year in Fu County, even the underground water storage was basically drained, and the flowers and plants seemed to have dried up, becoming messy and cluttered.
Zheng Quchi was standing next to the stone statue of Fuhao. In front of it was an aisle paved with stone and wood. The dull stone statue next to her was dusty. Among the withered and yellow weeds, she undoubtedly became the only bright and vivid existence.
Gan Xin dragged the cart and stopped not far away. He saw the little girl staring blankly behind him, and he reacted instantly.
His face darkened angrily, but he explained: "This is a game caught in the mountains. I just went hunting and got it back in the morning."
Judging from the frightened look in her eyes, she probably thought he had gone somewhere and came here after slaughtering the whole family.
"Oh, it's...an animal."
When Zheng Quchi saw a car full of blood and dirt, he had something in his mind, and it was easy for him to think wrong about anything he saw.
She laughed dryly: "The guest hasn't come for a long time. It turns out that he went hunting in the mountains early in the morning. He was really interested..."
When Gan Xin heard this, he thought she was complaining that he was too slow. He looked even more like a murderer: "There are too few prey in your Fu County. After searching for a long time, I found a deer and a mother who had given birth to cubs in the deep mountains." swine."
By putting on such a threatening look, was he showing off or showing contempt? With the current situation in Fu County where wild vegetables are almost gone, other hunters may not be able to catch a wild rabbit even if they wander in the woods for a day. No, let alone wild rabbits, it is difficult to even get a skinny mouse. He just did this In the morning, the income was quite good.
She whispered: "This is enough for the guests to eat for several days."
But in this weather, it would be difficult to store without a refrigerator, so it would be a waste.
Although it was only April, it was already close to the high temperature of early summer at noon, leaving only a bit of coolness in the morning and night.
"I...I won't eat it. This is for you." He said harshly.
Zheng Quchi's eyes widened: "...Give it to me?!"
Why did he suddenly give her a deer with its neck cut off and a litter of dead wild pigs? Was this a warning or a threat to her?
"I, I don't want it." She immediately waved her hand and refused.
The rejected Gan Xin's expression became gloomy and terrifying little by little: "What did you say?"
Zheng Quchi was very adamant now: "I don't want it."
"If you don't want it, then throw it away." He said and fell off the cart with a bang.
Zheng Quchi was stunned: "Lost?" She turned her head and looked at the game behind him, which was worth a lot of money, and her heart began to bleed. She struggled and said: "Since you don't want it, it would be a pity to lose it... I can Go pick it up?"
You don’t want what is given away for free, but you insist on picking up what others have thrown away?
What's wrong with her? Could it be that this is the so-called poor person's self-esteem?
Gan Xin was speechless.
"what ever."
It was really given to her, but why? He went all the way to the mountains to hunt all morning just to give it to her?
Zheng Quchi felt that Gan Xin was still
It's really hard to understand. She originally had a physical dislike and resistance to people from the Mo family, but after getting along with him, she didn't find it too annoying.
"Well, now we can talk about what you want to customize..."
"Wait a moment!"
"What are you waiting for?"
When she asked, he replied: "There is someone."
Anyone?
Her face was stunned. Could it be? Did he find the person ambushing her in the grass?
Zheng Quchi tried to tell him: "It's normal for people to visit this place often. You don't know that this beautiful woman is a tourist attraction in Fu County."
"Really?" He was doubtful.
She quickly changed the subject: "Tell me about your friend's condition. Is his lower limbs completely weak, or is it just a damaged leg? I'll note it down here so I can customize it based on what you said."
Zheng Quchi deliberately said something to distract him.
As expected, Gan Xin's attention immediately focused on this. He nodded: "He was seriously injured and his limbs were weak..."
"Oh, I'm hurt." She responded very flatteringly.
"Yes, but he should still be able to move, he is not paralyzed..."
Zheng Quchi saw that they had made a ground sinking, which was to dig a hole in the ground and then install some traps in the hole. The surface was decorated so that no one could notice the traces, but he needed to go to a specific place to trigger the fall.
Gan Xin just stood there and kept talking, while Zheng Quchi was focused on two things, responding with his mouth but staring at his feet.
Why didn't he move?
There is still a gap of more than ten steps.
"What are you looking at?".z.
A sudden question.
"Ah?" Zheng Quchi raised his head and asked quickly: "Why are you standing so far away?"
Gan Xin was stunned.
He thought to himself, is she trying to get him closer?
This little girl is so courageous. When he was hunting in the mountains, he was inevitably stained with blood. Ordinary people would avoid him when they saw him, but she wanted to get close to him?
Gan Xin was in his thirties, had no relatives, no wife, and no children. He spent the first half of his life obsessed with studying wood crafts. He even learned swordsmanship in order to become more skilled in carving techniques.
Unexpectedly, he had some talent for swordsmanship, but his craftsmanship was completely devoid of spirituality. No matter how much he learned, it was only half a bucket of water.
But he is stubborn, and the less he can learn, the more he has to learn, and he has to learn from the most powerful people!
"There is blood on my body, are you not afraid?"
"Don't be afraid. It's common for us country folk to kill a pig or a chicken during Chinese New Year and festivals." Zheng Quchi added, "You're standing too far away. It's a bit difficult to talk to you like this."
Gan Xin had no doubt that he had it, so he walked closer to her, one step, two steps, three steps...
Zheng Quchi swallowed and couldn't help but become nervous.
There is still one step left...
But he suddenly stopped, and Zheng Quchi just hung there without getting up.
He asked: "What's the little girl's name?"
"My name is Xiao Zheng." She has been using this pseudonym recently.
"Xiao Zheng? Which Zheng?"
"Guan, Er, Zheng."
"Xiao Zheng, stay away."
Gan Xin said this inexplicably, and Zheng Quchi suddenly looked into his eyes.
But he didn't look at her, but his eyes were like lightning, and there was a faint fierce light of licking blood in his sharp eyes.
Did he find out? !
Just when she was in shock and doubt, she saw him striding forward without hesitation and with steady steps.
"Click", a subtle mechanical clenching sound sounded, and immediately the tall Gan Xin lost his temper and fell towards the dark bottom.
Zheng Quchi was a little confused now. Although she should be surprised that he fell into the trap as expected, she still felt a little uneasy in her heart.
At this time, the Xuanjia army ambushing all around swarmed up
, they sealed the entrance of the cave with a heavy iron cover to prevent the other party from climbing up, and they also threw a kind of smoke downwards. The purpose was to make the other party unable to breathe smoothly in the narrow space, dizzy, and ultimately unable to resist.
With this set of coherent movements, even the best masters will have difficulty escaping from being captured.
Everything went smoothly, and every step was done correctly. When everyone thought that the mad swordsman Gan Xin was unable to resist, they still underestimated a master who could be as famous as Yu Wensheng in martial arts.
Bang——
The heavy iron shield above was split into seven or eight pieces by the whistling sword energy. The fragments exploded, carrying violent airflow and smashing away the nearby Xuanjia Army. A black figure flew up like a whirlwind.
Everything happened so fast and unexpectedly that no one could react.
He swung his sword across the sword, and although it did not hit the person directly, it caused a wave of screaming air that swept away all the people in the circle and vomited blood and fell to the ground.
Zheng Quchi was also affected. She felt a surge of energy and blood. One second she felt like she was about to vomit blood, but the next second Gan Xin stopped.
"Xiao Zheng, come here!"
His roar was like rolling thunder and lightning, and Zheng Quchi's scalp tightened.
"I-I'll go there?"
Did he ask her to go there and die?
Gan Xin said: "With me here, they can't threaten you, let alone do anything to you!"
Hearing what he said, Zheng Quchi was so stupid that she was stunned.
He, he shouldn't think that she betrayed him because she was threatened by these people, right? Does she really look so unlike a bad person?
"You are Yu Wensheng's black armor army, right? Sooner or later, we will face you. Now that I have sent them to my door, I will feed you with my crazy sword."
The wind blew Gan Xin's unruly and messy hair. He was slovenly, wearing a thick black cloak and a pair of old tiger boots. shudder.
Only then did Zheng Quchi truly see what kind of person Gan Xin, the mad swordsman who was talked about so lustfully by others, really was.
Zheng Quchi remembered a saying describing the mad sword Gan Xin - one sword can level mountains, rivers and five continents.
She knew she had made a mistake.
He really doesn't have to play tricks or tricks with anyone, because he can kill a bloody path with just one person and one knife.
There is a saying that in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is in vain.
No wonder the Mo family would send him here. Now that Fu County and Chang Xunpo no longer have Yu Wensheng in charge, who can stop him?
"Madam, we have to leave quickly! They can't stop Gan Xin for much longer!"
Wu Liang, Lan Yue and Sixi appeared, planning to cover Madam's retreat first.
Not to mention Zheng Quchi, even Wu Liang and Lan Yue found that they had underestimated the lethality of Kuang Dao.
"No, we can't leave like this."
If she leaves, what will happen to these Xuanjia troops?
She was the one in charge. How could she escape alone and ask her soldiers to bear the consequences of the failure of her plan?
She thought that no matter how powerful people were, they would have their weaknesses, and Gan Xin's weakness, which Qiu had told her... was his extreme obsession with woodcraft.
She suddenly had an idea: "Gan Xin, stop!"
This was the first time she called him by his full name.
Lan Yue and the others didn't understand why the madam was calling Mad Sword at this time, but based on their understanding of the madam, she wouldn't be aimless.
Naturally, Gan Xin would not give up easily because of her words, but at this time Zheng Quchi asked loudly: "Gan Xin, have you ever heard of the Panlong Carriage?"
As soon as this word was spoken, the murderous Gan Xin visibly paused for a moment.
Zheng Quchi's eyes lit up in vain.
Seeing that her words were effective, she continued to shout: "Then do you want to know who made the dragon carriage?"
No matter how dull a person is, he should realize at this moment that this "little Zheng" who he thought was innocent and was involved, is not an ordinary poor country girl.
Gan Xin opened his eyes angrily, and the veins on his forehead bulged with his heavy breathing: "Who are you?"
I seem to be asked this question a lot lately...
The beating could not be carried out any more. When I saw that few of the hundreds of people who had been brought were still standing, they all fell to the ground like stacks of Arhats. If they continued to fight, the whole army would be annihilated if they could not defend themselves.
The first time he led a team to engage in conspiracy, he ended up like this. This made Zheng Quchi understand one thing deeply... She was not suitable for this kind of thing at all. She was a carpenter who thought she could become a general with a military talisman. As a result, Just...she should go back to An'an and do her job.
"I am Ah Qing who made the dragon carriage, and I am also the leader of this Jichun Craftsmen's Guild in Yongchun City, Julu Kingdom."
I'm afraid that the air will suddenly become quiet.
She guessed that Gan Xin didn't believe her.
"I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious first. Let me explain my situation..."
Gan Xin looked at her in surprise for a long time, but in the end he suppressed the urge to continue to deal with the Xuanjia Army, obviously because her side of things interested him more.
"Are you the Ah Qing of Ye Kingdom who has been rumored in the craftsman circle?"
"It doesn't look like it, but I am."
"Then how did you do it?"
"How did you do it?" She was asked confused.
"The craftsmen of Ye State are so incompetent. They have made no achievements in all walks of life in the past few decades, and they have no capital to compare with other countries. How do you cooperate with these craftsmen to make things like the Panlong Horse Carriage that are said to be famous? Created by legendary craftsmanship and Naishiu’s work?”
He was seriously wondering.
To say that Zheng Quchi revealed his identity was a mistake.
Because Gan Xin came to Fu County this time, one of his biggest purposes was to hear about what happened at the "Jichun Craftsmen's Union" and made a special trip to look for Ah Qing from Ye State.
