Go to ancient times and engage in construction

It was already two hours after Zhao Xuan's guards moved their luggage and set up the stables.When Zhao Guoren arrived at the logging camp, it was raining heavily, and they could not get dry firewood from the wild. The firewood for cooking and heating at night was brought by Huang Zhong.Zhao Xuan was grateful and ordered Bo Yao to take out a deer leg from his luggage and send it to Zheng Yuming to express his gratitude. Zheng Yuming put the grilled fish in two plates and asked Daniel to bring it back as a gift. Suddenly, the two caravans People who communicate friendly and get along well.

After everyone had dinner, it was past nine o'clock. In Daqin, people used to go to bed at this time.The people in the dilapidated house were busy on the road during the day, and felt tired by this time. After Bo Yao and Ma Ren negotiated to send someone to be on duty outside the dilapidated house at night, everyone rested in their own places.

"My lord!" Ma Ren inspected around the dilapidated house, then went back to the dilapidated house and entered Zheng Yuming's tent.

"What did you find?" Zheng Yuming leaned on the pillow and put the tea cup in his hand aside. Ma Ren's face was very serious, and he seemed to have noticed something unusual.

"That Liang Xuan has an extraordinary background. I went to inspect the outside just now and saw Liang Xuan's horse with a high head and neck, strong limbs, black and shiny hair, without a trace of variegation. It is really a good horse selected in a million. It is not something that ordinary merchants can own. .”

Ma Ren saw Zhao Xuan on the trail in the logging field. Zhao Xuan's mount was wet by the rain, and the horse looked distressed. Ma Ren didn't see the quality of the horse for a while. Xuan's horse, the horse's hair has been dry, and it is shining brightly under the light of the torch. Ma Ren is more and more surprised when he looks at the horse. The black horse is definitely the best horse that Ma Ren has ever seen. .

"Is it really not an ordinary businessman?" Zheng Yuming pondered, Zhao Xuan's conversation was good, and he was definitely different from a pure businessman like Wu Mu.

The two were discussing in a low voice, when there were slight footsteps outside the tent, the wood lying at Zheng Yuming's feet raised his head slightly, as if he had recognized who it was, and put his head on the dog's paw again.Judging from Mu Mu's demeanor, the person who came was one of his own.

"I've seen my lord before." Sure enough, it was Huang Zhong who opened the tent and came in.

Huang Zhong has always been in charge of collecting information about Da Xian. Huang Zhong knows Gongsun Da Xian's recent situation best. Zheng Yuming took Huang Zhong with him during his trip to Qimen Mountain.

"Huang Zhong, what's the matter?"

"My subordinates think Liang Xuan is very suspicious. This Liang Xuan has outstanding character. If my subordinates have seen him, they will never forget him. There is no such outstanding person among the descendants of the big family in Chen Guo." Huang Zhong is very familiar with the dignitaries in his country, Because he first recommended himself to the king and nobles in his own country, and then he began to travel around the vassal states after he could not be used.

"So Liang Xuan is not from Chen Guo?" Zheng Yuming rubbed his chin. How could someone who owns a rare BMW come from an ordinary family, and he could afford more than a dozen strong guards. It's a horse. Such a person's family background can only be from a big family, and Huang Zhong doesn't know him, which means that this person is not a child of the Chen Guo family, and this person has concealed his identity.

"It's definitely not from Chen Guo, but Liang Xuan's guards speak with a Zhao Guo accent."

Huang Zhong was very sure that when Zhao Xuan entered the dilapidated house, he and Daniel were by the stream in the north of the lumber camp. Daniel returned first after catching fish, while Huang Zhong cleaned up the things that were going to be cooked for the night, and fetched a bucket of water. back.After he learned from Daniel that the strangers who came were businessmen from his own country, he became suspicious. Taking the opportunity to deliver dry firewood to Zhao Xuan's cavalry, Huang Zhong chatted with Boyao and Zhao Xuan's guards. The accent is more defined.

"Liang Xuan is from Zhao Kingdom? Could it be Prince Zhao?" Zheng Yuming raised his eyebrows. Liang Xuan and Zhao Xuan only had different surnames, maybe they were Prince Zhao's pseudonym, and they also had a dignified appearance, which also matched the data.

"The subordinates feel that they are almost inseparable."

Zheng Yuming tilted his head and looked at Huang Zhong with a narrow smile: "Huang Zhong, Zhao Xuan is said to be thirsty for talents, so you didn't go to him?"

Huang Zhong's expression became awkward. He touched his nose and whispered, "I'm going down."

"Then why don't you know Prince Zhao?" Zheng Yuming thought to himself, Huang Zhong wouldn't be so sad that Zhao Xuan didn't even want to see him.

"When my subordinate went to Prince Zhao's mansion to seek an audience, Prince Zhao happened to be away. He took the mission to the country of Yan and asked Yan Jun to marry Yan Jun's younger sister. Zhao Xuan's disciples thought that this subordinate was mediocre and did not want to see him."

Huang Zhong's self-recommendation was received by Zhao Xuan's housekeeper. After Zhao Xuan's housekeeper asked Huang Zhong a few questions, he decided that Huang Zhong had no great talent, and treated Huang Zhong indifferently. Huang Zhong received a cold reception and left Zhao Guo lonely. other kingdoms.

Seeing Huang Zhong recalling the past, Zheng Yuming looked uncomfortable, and couldn't help but comfort him: "Fortunately, Prince Zhao's housekeeper despised him, otherwise, how could Yu Ming have a capable right-hand man?" Development is a master of intelligence.

"The subordinates are lucky. They have to meet the prime minister and the general. I don't think the subordinates have great talents in governing the country." Huang Zhong said this from the heart.

"Huang Zhong, don't belittle yourself. You, like Ma Ren, Yu Kui, Zhou Cheng, and Wei Qing, are all talents. If your talents gather together, you will be a great talent in governing the country." Zheng Yuming felt that a country does not need too many great talents. Only all kinds of screws are needed, and the operation of the country depends on the connection and fixation of various screws.

The corners of Huang Zhong's eyes were moist, and his heart was touched, and Ma Ren's heart beside him was also extremely hot. Zheng Yuming was affirming their value.

"My lord? Since this caravan is disguised by Prince Zhao, shall we take this opportunity..." After Huang Zhong was touched, he remembered that Chu Chaohui always said that Zhao Xuan would be the enemy of Wu in the future. This future enemy.

"That's right, my lord. Prince Zhao and the others will definitely not be wary of us. We can take advantage of their unawares and kill them in one fell swoop in the middle of the night." Ma Ren was also eager to try.

"No." Zheng Yuming shook his head. "If the king of Zhao knew that his son was killed in Wu, he would definitely send troops to attack Wu. Our country of Wu is riddled with internal strife, and it is the time when we need to recuperate most. If Liang Xuan is Prince Zhao, we Not only can't move him, but also protect his safety, and don't let Prince Zhao have any accidents in Wu country."

"But my lord, this Prince Zhao must have come to Qimen Mountain to invite the great sage out of the mountain. Are we just watching Prince Zhao invite the great sage to the country of Zhao to add wings to the fierce tiger of the country of Zhao?" Huang Zhong was anxious, Zhao Xuan pretended to be a fur dealer and came to Qimen Mountain for the purpose, which he could guess without even thinking about it.

"Well, of course Zhao Xuan can't invite Daxian to Zhao country."

Zheng Yuming frowned and thought, he waved to Huang Zhong and Ma Ren. "Huang Zhong, Ma Ren, you guys go to rest. I'll figure out how to stop Zhao Xuan from inviting talents."

The next morning, the spring rain stopped, the clouds in the sky dispersed, and the sun jumped out.The trees around the lumber camp became more alive after being washed by the rain all night. Birds sang happily in the treetops in the forest, and small animals in the grass scurried around in search of food.

"The scenery here is good!" Zhao Xuan stood in front of the dilapidated house, and the scenery in front of him was refreshing.

"Yes, this place looks like a fairyland on earth, no wonder Daxian doesn't dislike the remoteness of this place and chooses to live here." Zheng Yuming walked behind Zhao Xuan and echoed.

"People with great talent are always different." Zhao Xuan turned his head to look at Zheng Yuming when he heard the sound.

Zheng Yuming, who was dressed in green, stood under the sun, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, his skin was as white as transparent, and his whole body was thrillingly delicate. For a moment, Zhao Xuan was in a trance.

"However, Chu doesn't think that the name of the great sage is as it should be. The reason why the mountain people call the Gongsun who lives in seclusion here as the great sage is that the mountain people are too stupid." Zheng Yuming's face suddenly showed a slight disdain.

"Brother Chu, what do you say?" Zhao Xuan was stunned. Zheng Yuming gave him the impression of a humble gentleman last night. How could such a modest gentleman start to slander a great sage after one night?

"Chu summed up what the great sage did, and found that the great sage actually knew some common sense of astronomy and some strange skills." Zheng Yuming shook his head, expressing that he saw through the true face of the great sage.

Seeing this, Zhao Xuan was displeased: "My dear brother, isn't he a great sage who can predict wind and rain and is proficient in strange skills?"

"Haha, if you can predict the wind and rain, you are a great sage, and there are many great sages in Chu's family." Zheng Yuming laughed.

"Brother Chu's family has many great sages?" Zhao Xuan frowned even more, feeling that Zheng Yuming was talking too much.

"The folks in Chu's family who have been doing business abroad all year round have encountered a lot of weather conditions. After summarizing the rules, they can also predict weather changes." Zheng Yuming recited the weather proverbs he knew. "Sunset is sunny in the northwest. It rains in the morning and the rainbow in the evening. The earth returns to the tide, and there is rain. After the wind, it is warm, and after the snow, it is cold. The heat generates wind, and it rains in the cold. The sun is east and the sun is raining. Northwest. The sky is thundering, and the rain is rolling. The spring is cold and the autumn is hot, and there must be a rain festival..."

"Cold in spring and hot in autumn, there must be rain?" Zhao Xuan thought, yes, yesterday was the rain after the temperature dropped. "What about the strange skill?"

"It's not uncommon for great sages to build waterwheels. Ordinary craftsmen in Ulshan, Wu, can do it. Chu's family has several craftsmen who can build waterwheels."

"So, the great sage has a false name?" Zhao Xuan frowned, he felt that what Zheng Yuming said made sense.

"No, this Gongsun knows more than ordinary people, so he is talented, but he can't be called a great sage." Zheng Yuming laughed.

"That's a capable person." Zhao Xuan's heart for seeking talents was a little hit.

"My lord, how can you slander Daxian!" Behind the two of them suddenly came a voice of dissatisfaction from Da Niu.

Zhao Xuan turned around, only to see Daniu's face was flushed and he was exhaling heavily. Obviously, he had heard the conversation between Zheng Yuming and Zhao Xuan.

"Presumptuous! Is there anyone who talks to the master like that?" Zheng Yuming was annoyed, as if he had lost face, he snapped: "Get off!"

"I...I..." Daniel blushed even more. "Boss, you can't talk nonsense about Daxian."

"What a great sage, but more abilities, how can you be called a sage?" Zheng Yuming snorted coldly.

"No! Daxian is Daxian! The boss belittles Daxian so much, and Daniel refuses to accept it!" Daniel was so angry that he waved his hands wildly.

"You are nothing more than a guide hired by my Chu family, and you don't agree with the master's words, do you still want to get paid?" Zheng Yuming's words were threatening.

"Hmph! I don't want any reward, I don't want to hear my boss belittle Daxian, so I will leave now!" Daniu was very stubborn, he made a random bow to Zheng Yuming with both hands, and left the lumberyard straight away, walking towards the exit of the lumberyard.

"This person is too presumptuous, brother Chu, how about you teach him a lesson?" Zhao Xuan had never seen such a servant who contradicted his master. Zhao Xuan punished the unruly subordinates very severely.

"Hey! Forget it, this mountain man is considered upright, let him go." Zheng Yuming, who had a tough attitude, suddenly softened his attitude.

"Brother Xian is too gentle." Zhao Xuan shook his head, disapproving of Zheng Yuming's appeasement to his servants.

"It's a pity that there is no guide for the next journey, and it will take time." Zheng Yuming sighed. What he meant was that without a guide, he would have to ask for directions when purchasing medicinal materials.

"Where is Brother Chu going to buy medicinal materials?"

"It's near Daxian's residence." Zheng Yuming had a bitter face.

"Brother Chu, Mr. Liang also went there to buy furs, and happened to be on the same road." Zhao Xuan invited with a laugh. "Daxian's residence is not far away, we just need to find the mountain people and ask."

"That's right! Brother Liang is right! Without that reckless man, we can still go to our destination!" Zheng Yuming showed his face, his originally handsome facial features became more eye-catching because of his smile, which made Zhao Xuan stare at him for a long time.

On the path outside the woods of the logging camp, Daniel is galloping, and he wants to lure Daxian away from his residence before Zhao Xuan finds him.
