Mountains and seas can be flat

Fang Zheng's ears and eyes could hear the sound from a long distance, so even though he stayed in the small barn most of the time, Fang Zheng would always be frightened every time the envoy of Yu Yi came to report to him.

"How many mines are there around here? Why are they entering the mines every day? They don't stop at midnight?" Fang Zheng asked the Yu Yi envoy. .

Envoy Yu Yi murmured in his heart, this place is so far away from the storage area where the mine enters, and Fang Zheng didn't leave Xiaocang all day, how could he know?He suppressed his doubts and answered honestly:

"There are three. A total of 100 people are responsible for entering the mine. They are divided into three rounds, so there are sounds in the middle of the night."

This kind of ore is only the coarsest raw material, and it needs to be refined many times to obtain ore with relatively high purity.The first refinement will be carried out in small places, but it will only be calcined with fire without skill, and the big stone will be burned and cracked.Then pick up a batch of rough stones and send them to Dafensai, where there will be a huge stone kiln to process the rough stones into copper blocks with slightly higher precision.Then it was sent to Raowo, where it flowed into the heart of the huge copper furnace in the capital.

Fang Zheng estimates through the sound, roughly processing one ton of rough stones every day, and he doesn't know if the finished product rate can be [-]%.

Yu Yi's copper weapons were forged from the accumulation of these countless waste rocks.

Fang Zheng asked: "What about the supervision? Who is responsible for transporting the rough stones here to the fortress?"

"It's the chief of the army supplied by this supply station, and it's delivered once a month."

Yu Yi's timekeeping already has a "monthly calendar".Their astronomy and geography are relatively developed. The rivers that run through the border are divided into "five waters", and the lakes on the border are divided into "seven sputums" (sauve means lake).In addition, the "Four Mountains" including Shoutong Mountain have become their typical landmarks - Taiqi in the west, Wangji in the south, Shoutong in the middle, and Mengtai in the east.There are no mountains in the north, but a boundless glacial lake swamp, which the Yuyi people call Xuanze.

According to the region, Yu Yi divided seventeen legion jurisdictions.Fang Zheng and the others sneaked in from the west, near Taiqi Mountain.The legion here is called the Taiqi Army.

If Fang Zheng wants to go to Shoutong Mountain, no matter which way he takes, he must pass through the blockade of the Taiqi Army.That's just the first line of defense, and after that, you have to pass through the defense areas of the three legions of Yunmengsou, Yangyusou, and Huaishui. After that, you enter the Shoutongshan area, where the legions are most heavily defended, let alone Yu Yi. The training base camp of the leading soldiers Yu Qiangying is there.

One day, a "parrot ibis" flew to find Fang Zheng.This is actually the ancestor of later generations of parrots.It has a small body, green feathers and red beak, and a small human-like tongue.Of course, they haven't evolved the ability to speak human language yet, but since the first parrot ibis was caught by the bell net in the Chinese valley, Fang Zheng began to ask people to train this little bird to send messages.

The bird has a shell tied to its foot with several notches and numbers inside, the simplest method of communication.The numbers were taught by Fang Zheng to the Chinese.The notches on the shell represent the number, which is the message from the second copper tooth. The three notches represent that he brought two small dogs, a total of three survivors, and the number 9 at the back represents nine days since they set off.Combined with the time of Xiaoniaofeixin, they should not be far away.

Fang Zheng sent envoys from Yuyi out every day to inquire about news, and this day he asked him to find Gao Gang who was convenient for observation so that he could meet Er Tongya and the others.

The envoy of Yu Yi said: "The abandoned grotto on the back of the mine will not be visited by anyone, and it is high enough."

Fang Zheng nodded and said as if talking to himself: "Then I will transport Zifeng up early tomorrow."

Envoy Yu Yi suggested at the right time: "How about I help you guard Master Zifeng? I mean, the road up there is quite difficult..."

Fang Zheng frowned, and the envoy of Yu Yi didn't dare to breathe. Fang Zheng was silent for a moment and suddenly smiled, "Okay, then please, take good care of him."

"That's natural. Master Zifeng is a young hero we admire." The envoy of Yu Yi said with a sigh of relief.

The next morning, Yu Yi's envoy came early to hand over to Fang Zheng.Fang Zheng gave some instructions on how to feed Zifeng, and then left the barn.

Listening to Fang Zheng's footsteps gradually disappearing in the direction of the mine.The envoy of Yuyi quickly "pinch leaves and blow", and attracted a small gray-white civet cat, tied a leaf on its leg and foot, and drove it away from the barn.

About half a day later, a group of people broke through the tranquility of this small supply village.They rode on the backs of tall, well-trained horses, and the leaders rode war bears and galloping wolves.

Hearing the sound of hooves, low howls and well-trained preparations outside, the envoy of Yuyi showed joy on his face.He walked to Zifeng's bed and was about to lift Zifeng's body when suddenly a icy sword was caught behind his back. Fang Zheng's cold voice rang in his ears, freezing his body that was about to reach Zifeng. hand:

"Is this what you're planning?" Fang Zheng used the Chonghua sword to force him to turn around and face the direction of the people and horses outside the barn, and asked in a low voice, "Give Zifeng to this team? Who are they?" Fang Zheng Zheng's voice was cold and dangerous, "You will die here if you don't answer, I will ask myself." The sharp part of the sword pressed deeper into his waist.

Yu Yi's envoy was so frightened that he couldn't keep up his mind and trembled: "You, you, you, you didn't leave? Why? Why didn't I hear——"

He clearly heard Fang Zheng's footsteps far away, but he didn't know that after Fang Zheng deliberately made the sound of leaving footsteps, he used the fifth move "Thousand Hands Skill" on the tortoise shell to quickly come back silently while standing on his head up.This move was originally used to train the speed of the hands, which is light and fast. Fang Zheng used this method to completely eliminate the sound of walking. Clearly.He also intercepted the gray and white civet cat.It didn't send a message.

But there was still a team of people coming, Fang Zheng thought, this should be the team that had made an appointment with the Yu Yi envoy earlier.The Yu Yi envoy had other plans.If Fang Zheng couldn't see this, he wouldn't be alive today.However, the Yu Yi envoy hid it very well at first, and it was not until he suggested that Fang Zheng leave Zifeng here alone that he was completely exposed.

As for the support of Er Tongya, Fang Zheng thought that there would definitely be conflicts between him and these people who had heard the news, and there would definitely be a big commotion, and Er Tongya would find out with Xie.

The envoy of Yu Yi was forced to whisper the message to Fang Zheng.

"I always said, sir, don't kill me - this is the team led by the Taiqi Legion."

Fang Zhengning listened for a while, then snorted: "The commander of the legion, did you bring less than 100 people?"

And what made Fang Zheng a little bit concerned was that besides the horses, there was also a huge war bear and a galloping wolf outside.

The envoy of Yu Yi said with a bitter face: "Taiqi leads the elite, not many people."

Fang Zheng could hear a young man's inquiry not far outside, "Is Lian Zifeng really in such a place?"

"He lost his mobility, so he can only hide in such a small place."

Fang Zheng frowned, plunged the blade a little deeper into Yu Yi's envoy's lapel, and asked in a low voice, "Besides the commander of the Taiqi Legion, who else is there? Why is his voice so young?"

According to the information collected by Fang Zheng, these army commanders are at least over 30 or [-] years old, and their voices are relatively rough.But the person who asked the question just now must have a higher status, but his voice is very young, not quite like a legion commander.

The Yuyi envoy trembled and said, "Yes, it's the fourth prince of our Yuyi..."

Fang Zheng gasped. He had just heard that among the hundreds of sons of King Yu Yi, only four survived to adulthood.The heirs have to go to search for training, and one of them came here unexpectedly?

Fang Zheng gritted his teeth and asked the last question, "So this fourth prince is the one chosen by your Sikong, you just want to use Zifeng as a pawn?" Fang Zheng's knife pressed in deeper, almost piercing his chest. Skin, the voice became colder, "It seems that I can't get into your eyes, am I a fake king?"

The Yu Yi envoy's face was pale, he was trembling and unable to speak, Fang Zheng whispered in his ear.

After a while, footsteps gradually approached the barn door, and someone shouted outside: "Bring Lian Zifeng out."

The voice of Yu Yi's envoy came from the barn, "Your Highness! Lian Zifeng has woken up, he, he wants to see you..."

The commander of Taiqi Mountain frowned: "Why did you wake up? Didn't you say you became a living dead?"

Beside him, the fourth prince of Yuyi riding on the back of a black galloping wolf, he is 22 years old this year, wearing a slim animal leather jacket sewn from [-] kinds of animals, with a string of hundreds of small beasts hanging around his neck. Teeth chain.He inherited the majestic appearance of King Yu Yi and the exquisite facial features of his slave mother.

His name is Wei Yu, which means "Yin Ming, which is more terrifying than the cold in the north" in the language of Yu Yi. King Yu Yi likes to name his sons after the most terrifying animals or natural phenomena, hoping that all of them will be happy. More fierce than tigers and bears, more cunning than wolves and foxes.It's a pity that the fourth prince, Wei Yu, is far from meeting his father's requirements.In fact, none of his three grown-up elder brothers could really satisfy the old monarch.

Wei Yu leaned on the wolf's back and said in a deep voice, "Since you're awake, let Lian Zifeng come out to see me."

The envoy of Yu Yi inside was silent for a while, and said: "He, Lian Zifeng, although he is awake, he still can't walk. Please, Your Highness, please condescend—he said that he has something very important to discuss with His Highness, and it is easy to walk outside." Overheard. It's about 'that'."

Wei Yu's expression changed, he turned over and got off the wolf, and pointed to the two tall soldiers behind him to check the situation - they were the prince's personal guards, and to the prince they were slaves raised since childhood, but in front of outsiders they were already in Yu Yi is in a high position above ten thousand people.

The two guards got into the barn back and forth, and there was no sound again. After a while, the voice of one of the guards came: "Your Highness, Lian Zifeng has indeed reported 'that matter', please move."

Prince Weiyu asked the leader of the Taiqi Army to wait outside, and he opened the narrow door of the barn to enter.There were two of his garrisons inside, and he wasn't worried at all.The moment the door was closed, he had not had time to see the jaw-dropping scene before his eyes—the envoy of Yu Yi was tied down on the ground, his two guards, one had his mouth tied tightly, and the other was strangled on the neck. Holding a cold sharp sword——his own mouth was suddenly blocked by a ball of furry stuff.

In front of these three people was a young man with cold eyes, not Lian Zifeng, Lian Zifeng was still lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

Fang Zheng stuck Prince Wei Yu's neck for an instant, preventing him from crying for help.The other party couldn't see how fast Fang Zheng's movements were, but he suddenly felt cold all over his body, as if he had been searched in an instant, and all kinds of small bayonets or beautiful copper ornaments in the animal skin coat fell to the ground— —but there was no sound, the ground was covered with straw.There are also various types of knives or poisons on the previous guards scattered here and there.

Prince Wei Yu thought in disbelief: Did this man control his two guards for a moment just now, and then somehow threatened them to give him a message?These two guards grew up with him and vowed to die to save him, but now one of them reveals his true colors and cowardly acts as an accomplice who tricked him in...

Prince Wei Yu stared at Fang Zheng in shock, who is this person?By the way, the messenger sent a message that the one with Lian Zifeng was the "husband" who troubled Zu Jiang and kicked out the king before. It is said that he was from a tribal leader who was so small that he didn't even care about it in the southwestern border.To be able to do this step, there really are two brushes.

Fang Zheng pinched Prince Wei Yu's neck with one hand and dragged him to the center of the barn, speaking in his ear with a very small air current.

"Your Highness, don't you think Lian Zifeng who wakes up is much more useful than Lian Zifeng who looks like a living dead?"

Prince Wei Yu nodded with difficulty, Fang Zheng let go a little bit, so that Prince Wei Yu could barely speak in the smallest voice:

"Of course I want him to wake up, that's why I came here."

Fang Zheng chuckled: "Okay, then at least on this issue, we can reach an agreement."

"How can we talk about cooperation like this..." The fourth prince of Wei Yu wanted to get angry, but being choked by the neck is not suitable for anger, and it will make his face more purple.

"Did I say to cooperate with you?" Fang Zheng paused every word, tightened his hands, and said in an almost shameless indifference: "I'm just coercing you."
