My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 65 A little cold light comes first, then...

"Young master, why does the tower lean outwards? Isn't it very dangerous, the tower may collapse at any time."

Hao Dadao was in charge of the construction of the inner houses, so Wei Cheng asked Wu Santong to be responsible for the construction of the outer towers. At this time, everyone surrounded the drawings, and Wu Santong expressed his doubts.

Wei Cheng said: "Don't worry about the collapse. The center of gravity of the tower is still on the inside. As long as there are no more than [-] people standing at the end, the tower will never collapse."

The tower designed by Wei Cheng extends outward. In order to facilitate the viewing angle when facing the enemy in the later stage, the tower extends outward so that you can see if someone is secretly climbing up the cliff.The overall shape is a bit like a protruding eaves. It is difficult to construct, but it is not difficult.

Just like stacking building blocks, with blocks of the same size, one third of the upper part protrudes outward, and the center of gravity is always guaranteed to be at the back. It will definitely not collapse.

Wei Cheng explained it, and demonstrated it in front of everyone with bricks, which dispelled the worries of Wu Santong and others.

The construction of the tower is urgent, and Wei Cheng doesn't know when his stronghold will be exposed suddenly.

But it is not expected to be too long, because he plans to help Wei's arm a team of 5000 people in the near future, with stab-proof suits, spears, and crossbows. He will try to get it done before the end of the year. Only Wei Shi can protect himself.

He can purchase the stab-proof clothing by himself, and he handed over the spears to the villagers of Haojia Village to make them. As for the bow and crossbow, he handed over the drawings to Wei Shi. If Wei Shi can't handle it, he can only purchase it, but the risk of exposure will be bigger.

For this reason, he had to speed up the construction of fortifications, and even if tens of thousands of troops surrounded him, he would be able to deal with it calmly.

After explaining to Wu Santong and others, Wei Cheng took Hao Zhao to the brick factory.

Today, the brick factory has expanded several times, and six brick kilns have been added, and the bricks fired every day are as large as 2 yuan.

The women have a clear division of labor, carrying water, carrying soil, spreading ash with mud, casting molds, drying and firing. The whole process has shown the scale of assembly line production, and everyone works in an orderly manner.

Seeing Wei Cheng approaching, Aunt Man Hua, who was preparing meals in the cafeteria, ran out.

"My lord, I'm afraid the food reserves are not enough. There are hundreds of people eating now, and the daily consumption is terrible."

Wei Cheng had expected it a long time ago, and comforted him: "Don't worry, Aunt Manhua, there will be new food delivered tomorrow."

Aunt Manhua breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that it was Wei Shi who was going to deliver food again. After all, it was the time of the autumn harvest, and what Wei Shi needed most was food.

In the letter Wei Cheng sent to Wei Shi, apart from further 'predicting' the situation in North Korea and China, and the blueprint, it did mention asking Wei Shi to send some supplies, but the specific quantity was not specified.

Wei Cheng has already made up his mind. He will go back secretly tonight and order a batch of rice noodles. Even if there is no regular supply from Wei's, he will be self-sufficient.

It's just that if you want to make a big purchase, you have to spend money again. It seems that those golden nanmu boxes have to be sold.

And Wei's goldsmith, why didn't you send it to me?

What Wei Cheng didn't know was that there was another big earthquake in Wei's family at this time.

Dong Zhuo rescued the fleeing young emperor Liu Bian and Chenliu king Liu Xie for some reason, and then entered Luoyang City with heavy troops in the name of escort. Thousands of armored soldiers ran amok in Luoyang, not to mention robbing women, and plundering a lot of gold and silver supplies.

Even the aristocratic family property is no exception. Dong Zhuo's army relies on its large number of people, no matter what your status is, as long as they are fancy, just one word, grab it!

Everyone in the Wei family who got the news looked at each other, and someone said happily: "No wonder Cheng'er wants us to withdraw from Luoyang, he has already expected today's feelings."

"This Dong Zhuo is so unscrupulous, isn't he afraid of arousing public anger?" someone asked coldly.

Wei Hao, who was sitting at the top, frowned slightly, and really couldn't figure out why Wei Cheng wanted to join forces with Dong Zhuo.

On the contrary, Wei Min's expression changed, and he vaguely grasped something. He actually felt that cooperating with Dong Zhuo was better than cooperating with Sun Jian.

But he didn't say it out, after all, Dong Zhuo's actions were completely outraged by the public.

Wei Min twitched his beard with a smile, relieved in his heart, and secretly sighed: "Sure enough, this Dong Zhuo's ambition is clearly exposed, and he doesn't shy away from giving and taking. Cooperating with him is better than those duplicitous smiling tigers, but I don't know. What will Cheng'er do next?"

During the heated discussions on Wei's side.

Wei Gong has already driven into Luliang Mountain with a convoy of grain delivery.

Wei Cheng, who got the news, immediately came down to greet him in person.

Wei Gong smiled and said: "Second Brother, I think you have to build a big granary. Second Uncle asked me to bring you all the old grain from last year, which is worth ten thousand stones, hahaha."

"So many?!" Wei Cheng was both surprised and delighted.

Wei Gong nodded and said: "It just so happened that farmers from all over the country sent new grain for the autumn harvest, and I asked them to help transport it. You should quickly ask someone to vacate a place. This amount of grain is enough for the villagers to eat for several years."

Wei Cheng smiled and shook his head, "Eat for about a year or so, it's impossible for a few years, I have a lot of people here."

Wei Cheng said, and asked again: "By the way, where is the goldsmith I want, have you brought it?"

Wei Gong nodded, waved his hand behind him, and saw more than a dozen middle-aged and elderly people of different ages walking over.

"These people are all the best goldsmiths in the river. The leader, Mr. Jin, was once an imperial craftsman. Most of the gold ornaments in the palace were made by him. The rest of them are not bad, not only gold ornaments, but also jade, wood, and stone carvings. He is proficient in everything."

Hearing this, Wei Cheng laughed from ear to ear.

At this moment, two young men from the crowd stood up, the leader was a square face with a big chin, holding a Qingfeng sword, and the other was Kongwu powerful, holding a short bow with ox horns in his hand, the two came to Wei Cheng and clasped their fists respectfully A salute: "Xu Ding (Xu Zhu) has met the young master."

Wei Cheng: "..."

···
August [-]th, the boundary of Youzhou.

Liu Guanzhang, who killed Duyou with hatred, is on the way to escape from the pursuit.

At this time, the three of them no longer had the vigor and vigor they had when they were sworn brothers in Taoyuan. The three of them were full of travel and dust along the way, suffering from hunger and hunger.

Zhang Fei touched his chapped lips, looked up at the sky, and said, "Big Brother, Second Brother, let's find a place to rest."

Liu Bei looked back and saw that Zhang Fei was far behind them. His second brother Guan Yu looked at him and sighed helplessly.

"Brother, according to what the third brother said, let's find a place to rest, and I will go to the woods to have a look, maybe we can catch prey."

Liu Bei looked defeated, nodded and said: "Then there is the second brother Lao, there is a forest in front, let's rest there tonight."

The three of them walked towards the forest, and when they were halfway there, the earth shook suddenly.

The three of them thought they were chasing soldiers, so they hurriedly hid in the bushes beside them. After so many days of starvation, they no longer had the strength to put them right. At this moment, hiding is the top priority.

The vibration sounded from far to near, and soon a cavalry composed of pure white horses appeared in front of the three of them.

Seeing the leading knight, Liu Bei's eyes lit up, he got up and jumped out of the bushes.

"Bogui, Bogui..."

"Bold, who is coming, report the name quickly."

Just as Liu Bei jumped out, he saw a handsome young man shooting at him with a spear.

It was true that a little cold light came first, and then the spear shot out like a dragon, so frightened that Liu Bei almost staggered to the ground. Fortunately, Guan Yu reacted in time, pulled Liu Bei away, and swung the big knife forward in his hand, barely blocking the point of the young man's spear .

"Zilong, stop."

Hearing this, the young man quickly withdrew his spear, but no one knew that a piece of skin on his palm was worn out, and it was burning and painful.

The middle-aged man who spoke also had handsome features. He was dressed in a white military uniform, with a three-foot green sword hanging from his waist, and he was very chic.

I saw him riding up to the front, seeing the panicked Liu Bei, his eyes lit up: "But Liu Bei and Liu Xuande?"

When Liu Bei saw him, tears almost filled his eyes, he nodded and said, "Brother Bogui, I'm here."

Gongsun Zan didn't expect to meet his former classmates here. Seeing Liu Bei in a mess, he frowned and asked, "Xuande is... I heard that you have made military exploits and been named a county captain in Anxi, but how could you end up in such a mess?" ?”

Liu Bei and his second and third brothers looked at each other, and finally sighed: "Oh, it's a long story."

Seeing this, Gongsun Zan knew that there must be something hidden in it, so he hurriedly said, "So, Xuande, there are two other strong men, if you don't mind, let me go back with XX, nothing else, good wine and good food are enough."

Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he heard the words. He was originally a rich second generation, and he hadn't experienced much hardship since he was a child. He felt that he had lost weight several times, and urgently needed a meal of wine and meat to comfort his wounded heart.

"Okay, big brother, let's go with him." Zhang Fei couldn't help being happy.

Guan Yu frowned slightly, and held Zhang Fei back, preventing him from speaking.

Liu Bei first expressed his apology for Zhang Fei's recklessness, and then said: "Brother Bogui's kindness, my three brothers are appreciated, but there are other reasons why the three of us ended up like this, and I'm afraid that Bogui will be hurt. Brother."

Gongsun Zan was startled when he heard the words, his eyes lingered on Guan Yu for a moment, and then he said with a smile: "Hahaha, to tell you the truth about Xuande, a certain official is now General Fenwu, Feng Jihou, in the border of Youzhou, his words are still useful Yes. If Xuande is willing, there is still a vacancy for the post of Sima under my seat, and you can definitely make contributions with me."

Liu Bei's expression trembled, he was jealous and unwilling, but he was more fortunate that he finally didn't have to hide in hiding anymore.

After weighing it for a while, Liu Bei showed a grateful expression, and he cupped his hands and said, "Bei and my brothers, I hope that the general will follow suit."

Gongsun Zan was also overjoyed when he saw that he had taken in a strong general (Guan Yu) so easily, and said to the young man beside him, "Zilong, you heard me, hurry up and tell the back kitchen. Today I want to have a drink with three strong men."

The young man glanced at Guan Yu, provocative in his starry eyes, feeling the pain in the palm of his hand, he cupped his fists in response and said, "Take orders!"

Seeing this, Gongsun Zan smiled and said to Guan Yu: "Don't blame this strong man. Zilong urinates like this. When he sees a master, he can't help but want to compete with him. But I have to say, it is impossible to make Zilong like this. If you are deflated, a strong man must be a person with great skills."

Guan Yu raised his phoenix eyes slightly, glanced at Gongsun Zan whom he had intentionally befriended, and just nodded without responding.

Gongsun Zan was a little embarrassed, and Bai Ma Yicong glared at Guan Yu behind him.

Seeing this, Liu Bei hurried forward and said: "The general's men are full of talents. I heard that the general has three thousand white horses under his command. Presumably the one just now is one of them. No wonder he is so heroic at such a young age."

Gongsun Zan shook his head helplessly when he heard that, "Zilong is just a good friend of mine. He is not a member of the White Horse. He just came here to practice with me, alas."

"Ah?" Liu Bei smiled awkwardly when he heard this. He thought he had some ability to judge people. Although Bai Ma Yicong behind Gongsun Zan was also a good player, compared with the boy just now, he was still a little inferior.

Thinking that the young man was not Gongsun Zan's follower, Liu Bei couldn't help feeling cautious.

···
"Xu Zhu!"

Wei Cheng looked at the young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of him, but didn't react for a while.

Xu Zhu and his elder brother Xu Ding were also taken aback, and hurriedly clasped their fists in response, "I'm the one who met you, Young Master."

Wei Cheng confirmed again: "A member of the Xu clan in Qiao County?"

Xu Zhu glanced at the elder brother beside him, nodded and said, "That's right, both of my brothers are from Qiao County."

Wei Cheng looked at Xu Zhu in disbelief, good guy, this man can't read, he thought about taking Dian Wei and Xu Zhu together before, but now he directly sent them to his door.

"This is it, you two?" Wei Cheng asked curiously.

Seeing this, Wei Gong next to him said: "Second brother, this is what the second uncle meant. It is certainly comfortable for you to live in seclusion in the deep mountains, but there is no guarantee of safety. The second uncle is kind to the people in Qiao County. Boyan and Zhong The two Kang brothers are here to protect the young master."

Xu Ding clasped his fists and said: "Young master, don't worry, my two brothers know what to do and what not to do, and please ask the young master to accept my two brothers. There is no other way, but my two brothers are all martial arts, and they will be able to protect the young master." comprehensive."

Good guy, who the hell is my second uncle, who can get Xu Zhu to be his bodyguard, and if I get Dian Wei and Lu Bu to himself later, then I can directly raise the issue.His subordinates are as fierce as tigers, and this world is not within his grasp.

A thought that he thought was ridiculous flashed across his mind, and he looked at Xu Ding and Xu Zhu.Wei Cheng calmed down, and said, "Alright, you two brothers can stay here, just to help me train a guard."

The two brothers Xu Zhu quickly agreed.

Seeing that Wei Min had completed the task assigned to him by Wei Gong, Wei Gong asked, "Second Brother, what did you promise me?"

Wei Cheng was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, frowned and said, "The one for you hasn't been built yet, but there's a nice spear, do you want to play with it first?"

"Long gun?" Emiya was a little disappointed, he didn't like guns very much, they were not as handsome to use as swords.

Wei Cheng, on the other hand, looked at Xu Zhu suddenly, his heart moved, and he said with a smile: "That's right, the name of the gun is Longdan Liangliang. It's very heavy. I guess you won't be able to handle it anymore. Only the Zhongkang brothers are present." OK, but it’s choking enough."

Xu Zhu thought he had nothing to do with himself, but when he heard that Wei Cheng doubted his strength, he immediately quit, cupped his fists and said, "My lord, I have amazing physical strength since I was a child, and my short bow weighs six stones. I can't dance without me in this world." moving weapon."

Xu Ding looked at Wei Cheng expressionlessly. He knew that Wei Cheng was deliberately provoking Xu Zhu, but he didn't stop him. For some reason, he felt that Wei Cheng was no stranger to his younger brother, as if he had heard of it for a long time. This time is just for testing.

Thinking of this, he felt at ease, as long as he could successfully complete the tasks assigned by Wei Min, his parents, brothers and sisters at home would have no worries about food and drink, so even if the two of them died outside, they would be willing.

As for Wei Cheng's temptation, he didn't take it seriously, as Xu Zhu said, there is no weapon in this world that he can't wield.
