Tang's dining table

"Wow!"

A gentle gust of wind suddenly passed over the tops of the pine trees.

"Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh"

Yun Chu heard the sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air again. Almost without thinking, he threw King Ji Li Shen next to him behind the viewing platform. Cao Wangming on the other side did not have such good luck. Yun Chu almost watched Two points of cold light penetrated his fat body.

At the same time, Yong Wangxian, who had been injured by rivets long ago, immediately got into the group of guards and retreated quickly under the protection of He Lan Minzhi.

Yun Chu's eyes fell on the winches, and he soon saw two out of place winches among the eight winches. The huge iron wheels on the winches were jumping. At the same time, the huge copper pillars that were running smoothly also began to move. Started to tremble.

Seeing that the copper pillar was tilting slightly towards Naha's direction, Yun Chu was so frightened by this scene that he shouted loudly, stepped over the railing blocking the road in three or two steps, and looked around in the air. Naha shouted: "Run."

It has to be said that Naha unconditionally trusts her brother's words. Even before her mind has made a decision, her feet have already begun to move outward.

Yun's exercise method for many years showed its effect at this moment. Naha was as agile as a female leopard in the chaotic crowd. Not only was she not blocked by the crowd, on the contrary, people everywhere gave her a She found a good leverage point and jumped several times in succession, so that she caught up with Yong Wangxian who was the first to start running in an instant.

Since Yong Wangxian blocked her way, Naha did not hesitate to lend a little strength to Yong Wangxian's shoulders, letting her body fly up again so that she could land outside the crowd.

Naha's figure was already strong, so she stepped on her very hard. The always weak Yong Wangxian's legs softened and he fell to the ground. Seeing that dozens of feet were about to fall on Yong Wangxian's body, Helan Min Zhi shouted loudly, dragged Yong Wangxian up from the ground, and pushed him out hard.

So Yong Wangxian just forced his way through the crowd under the influence of this huge force.

"Protect the prince!"

A group of guards rushed over.

Yun Chu watched Naha escape, and his heart immediately relaxed. He did not run, but stood there, preparing to see how the accident happened up close.

Li Shen hid his body behind the stage and carefully poked his head out to see. When he saw Yun Chu standing at the front of the stage and not walking away, he couldn't help shouting: "Run."

Yun Chu was indifferent. He watched helplessly as a winch was lifted up by a thick and tightly stretched iron chain. The heavy winch wheel, which was three meters in diameter, flew into the air like a cannonball.

The wheel flew away, and the ratchet mechanism that prevented the chain from slipping was also missing. Yun Chu saw with his own eyes the dozens of cows that were connected to the chain and trying to drag them forward. They stopped suddenly, but In an instant, these cattle, which were chained to iron rings, were dragged backwards by the thick iron chains.

Yun Chu watched as the copper pillar gradually tilted. As the tilt angle of the copper pillar became larger and larger, the roars of the master craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry became even more shrill, while the team of cattle pushed and pulled the iron chain back. , was also carried by iron chains through an iron plate opening less than a foot and a half long.

What went in here was a lively farm cow, and what came out there was just a pile of minced meat, not even a complete cow head.

"Steady, steady..."

Yunchu saw a master craftsman jump up and grab an iron chain full of cow blood with both hands, and pull it back desperately.

Unfortunately, his little strength was of no use at all. Even when his body was dragged into the next square hole, he refused to let go. As the chain slid faster, his body was also dragged into the square hole, and then, It was ground into pulp by the thick iron chains.

"Brother Fang."

A master in red robe, holding a flag with both hands, stamped his feet and shouted in the distance. He was about to rush forward and follow Brother Fang's old path, but was caught by Yun Chu and said: "Change direction, change direction."

The red-robed master looked directly at Yun Chu, and raised the green flag in his hand. As the green flag was raised, a tight iron chain began to slowly retreat, and the bottom of the originally tilted copper pillar, Slowly start moving to the left in the air.

Yun Chu said: "Let it fall, let it fall, and let the copper pillar fall to the ground."

The red-robed master craftsman raised the red flag like a wooden person and waved it three times in a row. Then, the six iron ropes hanging the copper pillar began to slowly descend. Originally, the copper pillar was lifted up to about two feet high. Under the action of gravity, the thick bottom first touches the ground.

The moment the copper pillar touched the ground, the "whoosh" sound that frightened Yun Chu finally stopped.

Yun Chu looked at the second iron wheel that had dozens of rivets missing and was bent and deformed by the iron chain. He trembled and said to the green-robed official: "Replace the iron wheel with a new one immediately. Check all the iron wheels. It will take an hour." After that, we must insert the copper pillars into the base.”

The red-robed master said dullly: "Are you coming?"

Yun Chu said: "If we don't insert the copper pillar into the base today, all of you will be dead."

The red-robed master seemed to be awakened by Yun Chu's roar. After taking a few deep breaths, he immediately returned to his true nature as a master and began to meticulously issue various professional orders that Yun Chu could not understand.

Yun Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked back at the viewing platform, he found that only Cao Wangming was sitting there as majestic as a mountain, but his fat face was covered with tears.

I thought he was too fat to walk, but when I looked closer, I discovered that there were two extra holes in his body, and blood was leaking out.

Yun Chu, who was as strong as an ox, pulled Cao Wangming out of his special seat and handed him over to two fairly loyal guards. He watched as they half dragged and half dragged away Lu Wangming.

Cao Wangming was thick and not dead. The skinny old gentleman next to him was not so lucky. There was a finger-thick hole on his forehead, which could be seen from the front to the back. Yun Chu pulled the gentleman who seemed to be named Jiang. Then he discovered that there was a hole the size of a bowl in the back of his head, and all his brains were flowing out of this hole.

Not only this unlucky guy died, but there were also seven or eight senior officials. The nobles also fell to the ground without breathing. At the exit of the stands, there were many people who were trampled to death and injured. Ouch, ouch. Call.

Yun Chu raised his head again and felt chilled as he looked at the huge copper pillar that was chained in mid-air and tilted at least thirty degrees.

He believed that within the effort of burning an incense, there would be people from Baiqisi everywhere here.

At this time, Yun Chu didn't even bother to consider whether this was a man-made disaster. He just wanted to insert the copper pillar into the base as soon as possible and get the job done. As for what happened afterwards, he could explain it. Otherwise, he would just wait. Let Zhou Xing come to Chang'an again with a large group of cruel officials.

Just when Yun Chu was thinking about how to safely insert the copper pillar into the base, the red-robed master came to sit next to Yun Chu and said feebly: "The rivet of the iron wheel is broken."

Yun Chu said: "I just hope this is a natural disaster and not a man-made disaster."

The red-robed master nodded and said, "I hope this is a man-made disaster and not a natural disaster."

Yun Chu said: "Natural disasters are good for Chang'an, and man-made disasters are good for you, right?"

The red-robed master said: "That's the truth."

Yun Chu pointed to the copper pillar that stretched above their heads and said, "If this thing is not inserted where it should go, it will be of no benefit to all of us, right?"

The red-robed master said: "That's true."

Yun Chu said: "In that case, what are you waiting for?"

The red-robed master said: "It will take at least two days to replace the wheels and the anti-reverse clip."

Yun Chu patted him on the shoulder and pointed at the copper pillar hanging in mid-air and said, "It's better to hurry up. The copper pillar will naturally bend over time."

The red-robed master cupped his fists and saluted Yunchu: "Chen Guangyuan thanked the Duke."

A lively sacrificial ceremony turned into an accident with heavy casualties. After such an incident, even the sound of silk and bamboo in Pingkangfang became much deeper.

Yun Chu came to the first iron plate where the dead cow was, picked up a fat cow leg from the pile of cow carcasses, put it on his shoulder, and rode away.

Those who died were all high-quality yak. ​​Generally, there is no such beef in Chang'an. After eating yak meat for a long time, Yunchu saw that the beef seemed to be still squirming and it was absolutely fresh, so he planned to take it back and cook it. eat.

Perhaps influenced by Yun Chu's act of seeking death, the people on the construction site no longer looked like their parents were dead, and became more or less popular.

Before Yunchu could return home, Liu Rengui sent someone to find Yunchu and go to the left-behind residence for a meeting to see how to deal with this disaster.

In the Liushou Mansion, Yunchu saw Yong Wangxian, who was missing three teeth and had swollen lips that looked unsightly, and Li Lingkui, the king of Lu, the Minister of Rites, who was the closest, but nothing happened.

Liu Rengui sat on the main seat and raised his hands to King Yongxian and said, "This is a natural disaster. What does King Yong think?"

When Yong Wangxian saw Yun Chu coming in carrying a leg of cow, he fixed his eyes on him.

Yunchu put the corbels on the table and said to Yong Wangxian: "The first and second capstans that control the left and right directions and are responsible for the left and right movement collapsed, and more than 140 rivets flew out, hurting Seven people, eight died. In addition, eleven people were injured in the stampede."

Yong Wangxian couldn't speak, and looked at Helan Minzhi, who was responsible for conveying the news for him.

He Lanmin said: "My lord, are you sure it was not a man-made disaster?"

Yun Chu spread his hands and said, "Natural disasters are most beneficial to us."

Yong Wangxian covered his mouth and stopped talking. What Yun Chu said was absolutely correct. He was also in Chang'an and was the chief priest. There was nothing he could do about a natural disaster. If it was a man-made disaster, he could not escape the blame.

Li Lingkui waved his hand and said, "Let's report it as a man-made disaster."

Liu Rengui: "What did His Royal Highness King Lu discover?"

Li Lingkui said: "That's not true, but without checking, how can we determine whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?"

Liu Rengui chuckled and said, "In this case, I will leave it to His Highness King Lu to thoroughly investigate the traitor."

After finishing speaking, without looking at King Lu's ugly face, he said to Yun Chu: "Look at what other cow legs I brought. It just happened. I took it to the chef to fix it. The two of us just have a drink."

Yun Chu followed Shan Ruliu and immediately left with Liu Rengui carrying the cow leg.

Li Lingkui said loudly: "You two, wait a minute."

Liu Rengui looked back at Li Lingkui and said solemnly: "Isn't it just taking responsibility? Don't worry, I can do it too."
