Bad people in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 24 Zhao Ji's Robbery
"You cut so much wood in just one day?"

As the sun set, Tian Hao pulled three carts of wood back to the city. The soldiers at the city gate were very surprised.

They were also familiar with this night-scented man. He was the most diligent in the night-scented business in the city. He built three linked carts every day and was pulled by oxen and people. He was a desperate man.

In the morning, I watched the other person leave the city, and now he came back with three cartloads of wood. Is this still a human being?

Even the soldiers guarding the city gate couldn't help but look over, and even looked suspiciously at Tian Hao.

It's unusual for someone to cut so much wood in half a day. Could it be that that kid had something to hide before?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little more vigilant. Now Zhao State is at war with Qin State, and Yan State is also restless. He must be careful and vigilant, and cannot tolerate the slightest mistake, otherwise he will not be able to take responsibility for things that happen.

Back then, the escape of the proton of the Qin State made the king furious. He heard that the soldiers guarding the city gate had been cut down for a round. He didn't want to follow in that terrible footsteps.

"I don't have that ability. Only this one car is mine, and the other two cars were pulled back for others."

Tian Hao grinned and explained, Tian Hao pointed to the front cart, indicating that he did not have the ability to cut down three carts of wood in half a day.

He has never underestimated the wisdom of the ancients, even if they are just some guards at the city gate, but after many years of guarding, he has already developed a good pair of eyes and can spot something wrong.

If they are really incompetent, Zhao Guo's dignitaries will let these people guard the city gate?

In response to this, he has already prepared a countermeasure.

The soldiers looked at the three carts again and soon discovered the difference.

The firewood on the two carts at the back was not very long, but the one on the front cart contained tree trunks five or six feet long, obviously made by different people.

The soldier also stepped forward to observe carefully, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The wood of this car was chopped with an ax, which is quite powerful. The wood of the middle car was chopped with a hatchet, and the wood of the last car was sawed with a saw."

After saying a simple sentence, the soldier walked back to the first cart, looked at the fractures of the tree trunks, looked at the burly Tian Hao, and the ax hanging on the cart, and felt pity for his talent.

"Young man, are you interested in working under me?"

This kind of burly young man is very suitable for joining the army, especially if the opponent is very strong, which can withstand heavier armor and weapons, and is a natural material for being a soldier.

"Thank you for the kindness of Lord Bing. The grass people don't even have a daughter-in-law now. If one day they disappear, our family will lose the incense."

After scratching his head, Tian Hao declined politely.

"Are you the only one in your family?"

After a moment of silence, the soldier asked.

"I used to have four older brothers and five older sisters, but they are all gone. I am the only one who fled to the capital with Dahei to make a living."

Showing a hint of sadness, Tian Hao patted the big black cow as he spoke, indicating that this was Dahei.

"It will get better after the war is over."

With a sigh, the soldier patted Tian Hao on the shoulder, comforted him and walked back to his post.

There's really no way to tell in this world. Being able to survive is considered a skill. Only one person in his family has died. He really can't let anyone join the army anymore.

Tian Hao didn't say much, hung the leash on his shoulder again, and pulled the cart into the city with Hei Niu.

I went back smoothly all the way, and took advantage of some turning opportunities on the way to observe secretly, and I was relieved to make sure that there was no follower behind me.

After bringing the big black cow into the cowshed and getting fodder and water for it and the three donkeys, Tian Hao went to the tunnel and sealed the hole above with stone slabs.

Then he lit an earthen stove dug out on the side, and poured the coal that had been prepared long ago into it.

At this time, some people have discovered that coal can burn, but they call it coal, and most of the open-air coal is of poor quality. It has a pungent smell when burned, making people's eyes water, and even poisoning people. Someone uses it.

But some people and industries can use it. It happened that there was coal in a place dozens of miles away from HD City, so he brought a lot back and stored it.

The chimney on the top of this stove leads directly to the outside, and he built it very high with pottery pipes. As long as it is lit, the hot air and smoke in the stove will rise up the chimney, forming a suction force to the bottom, which will drive the air in the tunnel. , to drive the ventilation inside.

Coupled with the cover of the big trees in the yard and the trees planted by the surrounding people, even if the coal is of poor quality and will produce black smoke when burned, as long as there is enough cover, it will still not be discovered, at least not until the leaves of the trees fall. Be seen.

Not to mention that he also made a design on the chimney that can absorb soot to the maximum extent. Although it will make the chimney easier to accumulate dust and even blockage, it can greatly reduce the color of the smoke and make it less likely to be discovered.

He was a rural person in his previous life, and it is very common to have a kind of suction stove in the countryside, which uses the same principle.

Using this method is much more convenient and concealed than using a mule to turn the blower, at least there is no sound, and there is no need to rest and change the donkey.

It wasn't used this way before because the tunnel was not open, but now the other end has been opened under Zhao Ji's bed, forming a connection, and it can be sucked.

And he has made a special design, which can put the coal in the inclined trough in advance, and the coal below will roll down under the action of gravity to continue burning after burning. According to the filled coal, it will be no problem to burn for a whole day .

When the charcoal fire in the stove was burning hot, Tian Hao just walked towards the end of the tunnel. After choosing a location, he held the Luoyang shovel and made a hole diagonally downward.

Not long after, Tian Hao felt a cold hand on his shoulder, and a seductive fragrance came from him.

The cold and soft palms slid down from the shoulders and touched the chest muscles on his chest. Tian Hao raised his hand to hold the plain hand, stood up and turned around to look, who else could it be but Zhao Ji.

"Madam, you are playing with fire!"

Looking at the beautiful face in front of him with the help of candlelight, Tian Hao's breathing was a little heavy.

This is to make him make mistakes!
"Then do you want to come and play?"

Licking her vermilion lips, Zhao Ji said seductively.

She is indeed very interested in this man, but the most important thing is to use this to tie him to her side.

This is the only capital she can afford now. As long as she has a relationship, she can use it as a handle to prevent the other party from going to Qin in the future and suddenly defecting to Lu Buwei or Ying Zichu.

This person can only be Zheng'er's help, no one can take it away!
Zhao Ji, who was thinking about this, suddenly felt a tingling sensation coming from the palm of her hand, and then her body trembled, and soon foamed at the mouth, her whole body twitched, her white eyes turned upside down, and she fell backwards. More traces of water flowed out, and consciousness fell into darkness.

"You are the only one who wants to hinder my practice?"

With a sneer, Tian Haoke remembered his master's instructions to keep his body as a boy, so as not to affect his cultivation.

It's not that he quit womanizing, but that he has a higher pursuit.

With the help of Goldfinger, not to mention cultivating to become an immortal, life expectancy equal to heaven, at least prolonging life should not be a problem, so what kind of beauties do you want?
Why cut off the path of cultivation for the sake of a moment of greed?

Not to mention that the current situation is not very good and life may be in danger at any time. We should focus on improving our strength. How can we be careless?
The most important thing is that this is Zhao Ji, Ying Zheng's mother. If she really wants to have a relationship, it will be equivalent to laying a minefield for herself. With Lao Ai's past... no, it is the lessons learned from the past, so he will not make the same mistake again.

"So fragile?"

She was about to carry Zhao Ji on her shoulders, but when she saw the water stains under her skirt, she immediately changed her mind. She grabbed her arm in disgust and dragged her to the end of the passage, climbed up the ladder, and threw Zhao Ji like a dead pig. On the bed.

"Teacher, what happened to my mother?"

At this time, Ying Zheng, who had been guarding the surroundings all the time, heard the movement and pushed the door in. He looked at the teacher standing by the bed, and then at the mother who was unconscious on the bed, twitching and foaming at the mouth, and saw something was wrong.

Just a short while after going down, why did my mother change and was brought up by the teacher?
What are you doing down there?
