Xie Changshi saw Gu Yuzhi's mouth slightly open with a curious look on his face, and explained to him in a low voice: "Your Highness, you see, these fortresses are made of bluestone slabs. Their defense level is better than that of ordinary houses, and there is no fire." Easily burned through.”

Gu Yuzhi nodded repeatedly when he heard this, pointed to the two small holes at the top of the fortress and said, "Xie Changshi, are those two small holes the windows?"

He scratched his head and felt that although such a fortress looked strong, people living inside could not see the sun.

Teacher Shu said that if people are not exposed to the sun for a long time, they will become depressed.

Although he doesn’t understand what depression means…

Xie Changshi looked in the direction of Gu Yuzhi's finger, nodded and said, "Yes, these are windows."

Gu Yuzhi pouted and said, "In this case, wouldn't their room be very dark?"

He had been blind for a long time, and he knew how uncomfortable it was to be blind and unable to see anything.

When Xie Changshi heard him say black words, he immediately realized what he was thinking of and comforted him softly: "Actually, it's not that bad."

"Your Highness, those two small holes may not look small, but the directions they open are calculated to ensure that the room will receive enough sunlight a day."

"And this small window does more than just light."

Gu Yuzhi's attention was quickly attracted by Xie Changshi's words, and he asked curiously: "What else is there?"

"Defense of course!"

It happened that he was passing by a fortress at this time. Xie Changshi pointed to the two small windows above and said: "This window looks small from the outside, but the inside is larger. It has stairs and shelves."

"What is placed on the shelf is a heavy bow. As soon as the smoke breaks out and the people of Jingxiang see it, the township chief will sound the gong to warn the villagers. All the villagers will go to the township chief to pick up the crossbow as soon as possible, and then Return to the fort and defend it.”

Xie Changshi looked at the fortress whose original color could no longer be seen, with unspeakable regret in his heart: "It can be said that the people of Jingxiang are all soldiers. It is a very important second step for Mobei after the Mobei Army failed to retreat. Line of defense.”

Heavy crossbow!

Is it so powerful?

Gu Yuzhi's big eyes rolled, he shook his head and said, "I can't imagine it."

He had never seen such a strange building.

Xie Changshi said: "When we get to the place later, Your Highness can go in and have a look."

"This kind of fortress can only be seen in Mobei. It is normal for His Highness to find it difficult to imagine."

When he heard that this kind of fortress could only be found in Mobei, Gu Yuzhi's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Isn't that what the emperor has never seen before?"

Haha!

Thinking about it this way, Brother Huang is so pitiful. He has never been to so many places and has never seen many scenery.

Brother Chu Wang, that big fool, still wants to sit on the throne.

A smart person like him would not want to do such an unfree thing.

The carriage moved forward and soon it stopped moving, so several people had to get off the carriage and walk forward.

No one has lived here for many years, and the grass here has grown taller than people.

Gu Yuzhi couldn't even see the scene in front of him when he raised his head, so he had to pull the guard's sleeves and let him pick him up. Not long after walking along the grass, he saw the white fortress again. Xie Changshi pointed to the fortress in front and said: "Guard Qi, let's go to that fortress and take His Highness in to see the unique fortress in Mobei."

The wooden doors of these fortresses were rotten. Guard Qi raised his foot and kicked the door open with a little force. Sunlight shone in through the small window, and he could see the dust flying in the sky.

There was almost nothing left in the room. Everything was buried under the dust, and it was so dark that it was impossible to tell what it was.

When the door was kicked open, Gu Yuzhi couldn't help coughing hard. He covered his mouth with his hands and narrowed his wide eyes.

Guard Qi and others also covered their mouths and coughed softly. After a while, the flying dust slowly began to fall again.

Xie Changshi shook his head and glanced at Guard Qi, obviously dissatisfied with his reckless behavior of kicking the door.

"Your Highness, there is a lot of dust inside. Your Highness can see it from here."

Xie Changshi pointed to the window that looked very small from the outside: "Your Highness, see if this window looks much bigger from the inside."

Gu Yuzhi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! But Xie Changshi, where are the stairs and shelves you mentioned?"

Xie Changshi looked around and realized that the black things were not dust, but ashes after being burned by fire.

He sighed and said: "Your Highness, you still remember that after Guard Zhang caught those people, they said that the whole village was burned down..."

Gu Yuzhi nodded his head and said, "I know! Xie Changshi, do you want to say that the stairs and shelves were burned down?"

He also wanted to see what the heavy crossbow looked like, but obviously he couldn't see it now.

Gu Yuzhi puffed up his face, stretched his neck and kept looking in, but there was nothing else to be seen in the house except black ashes.

What a shame!

It would be great if there weren't those schemes by Brother Chu Wang!

These fortresses in Jingxiang are so good. Everyone can fight against the Beidi people like soldiers. Why did the King of Chu kill all these people!

Gu Yuzhi was quite dissatisfied with King Chu at this moment.

He even wanted to rush to Jiangnan and ask Brother Chu Wang what he really thought.

Is it really worth killing so many people for a position where you have no freedom to do anything?

No one has seen the grand scene where all the people in Jingxiang are in arms, and they only heard about these things from Mr. Huo.

It turns out that Huo Jiajun is admirable, and the people of Jingxiang are even more amazing!

After reading it, Gu Yuzhi put his arms around Guard Qi's neck and whispered: "Let's go out. I've already seen it and I know what it's like inside!"

If possible, he would also like to have the people come here to continue the work of the people in Jingxiang and guard Mobei.

But Magistrate Ke couldn't do anything successfully, so what should he do?

Gu Yuzhi scratched his head, he really didn't know what to do!

Xie Changshi reminded: "Your Highness, what are you looking for? Let's keep moving forward."

Only then did Gu Yuzhi remember the purpose of their coming to Jingxiang, and patted his head gently: "Oh, I forgot about it."

He pointed to the front where there was a lot of grass and no clear path in sight and said cheerfully: "Let's set off now! Let's find a place with a slightly flatter terrain."

Tonight is bound to be spent outside.

Gu Yuzhi chuckled and said, "Since I learned the skills of survival in the wild from Mr. Huo last time, I haven't practiced them yet!"

He poked Guard Qi on the shoulder: "Guard Qi, see how good I am tonight!"

Mr. Huo said, you must apply what you have learned! (End of chapter)
