The Four Concubines

For the sake of the waterwheel, Wang Xia gathered craftsmen from all over the city and approved a separate workshop. The craftsmen heard that this thing could solve the draft problem, so they worked hard to build it.

Yun Xiao entered the gate and looked at the waterwheel that had already taken shape in the yard. She really admired it in her heart. It took only two days to reach this level. The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated, and the craftsmen are still in full swing. Discussing the placement of the water push plate.

Seeing Wang Xia coming, they all said hello first, and then pulled Wang Xia to continue the discussion. Wang Xia lowered his hand to signal them to be quiet first, then looked at Yun Xiao and said, "The creator of the waterwheel is here, what do you have?" If you have any questions, ask him.”

Wang Xia didn't point out Yun Xiao's identity, and Yun Xiao himself didn't show off, and he got along with the crowd with a few words. Yun Xiao provided some feasible manufacturing ideas, and made the craftsmen shout out, the waterwheel is a big deal, and Zhou Chen saw it. Then he deliberately transferred a group of soldiers to help.

After Yun Xiao finished explaining her train of thought, she had nothing to do with her. When she got out of the crowd, she saw Xiao Chuo standing alone, looking at the waterwheel non-stop.

She was judging whether the waterwheel could serve its purpose.

Yun Xiao leaned over, stood behind Xiao Chuo and suddenly said, "How is it? Do you see anything?"

Xiao Chuo was not frightened by Yun Xiao, turned around and looked at Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao couldn't help being proud in his heart, and there was still a calm smile on his face, "How is it?"

Xiao Chuo didn't answer, just asked, "You came up with this?"

Yun Xiao nodded, "Yes."

Xiao Chuo didn't speak again, his eyes were still fixed on Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao looked at Xiao Chuo's calculating eyes, thought for a while, and asked cautiously, "You don't want someone to kill me, do you?"

Xiao Chuo was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Yun Xiao to say such a thing, he thought about it again, and said seriously for a moment, "This...is also possible."

……

Yun Xiao: "I just said casually that you really think about it!" Yun Xiao complained in his heart, are you Liaojiang people so serious?

Xiao Chuo looked at Yun Xiao, who was jumping and furious, with joy in his heart, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up. He looked at Zhou Chen who was staring at her from a distance, and his tone remained the same, "I'm just talking casually."

Xiao Chuo did have the idea of ​​killing Qin Emperor Yunxiao before, but this idea was overthrown by herself in just a moment, not to mention whether she could break through Qin Emperor's guard and successfully get close, even if she killed Qin Emperor , what happens next?Among the four generals who hold the military power of the Qin State, the one who sits in the capital is a staunch royalist. If something happens to Yun Xiao in Liaojiang, the other party will definitely kill him. A Dingbei Army can already stand against them , plus an army, they will surely suffer catastrophe in Liaojiang.

Therefore, not only can she not kill Yun Xiao, but she also needs to protect Yun Xiao in every possible way. She understands the involvement behind this, but other people in Liaojiang do not. She noticed that it was unusual, so she came to Zhanjiang City in a hurry.

She knew the character of Wang Xia, the prefect of Zhanjiang, in her heart, and this was the reason why she dared to come here so majestically and alone.

But she never expected that it was the emperor of Daqin who came in person.

It was just beyond her expectation that this emperor was different from the rumored royal family. Not only did he have no airs, but he was very approachable. When Yun Xiao invited her to go with him, she felt that Yun Xiao was out of his wits. The "secret weapon" is shown to the enemy.

But after listening to the discussion between Yun Xiao and the craftsmen, and hearing those weird but exquisite casting methods, she knew why Yun Xiao didn't avoid her anymore, it wasn't that she would hold her hostage or kill her to silence her after the event was completed. He was telling himself the gap between Liaojiang and Daqin in the most straightforward way.

As long as these construction and casting methods proposed by Yun Xiao can be popularized, in another ten years, no, in five years or less, Daqin will become a daunting existence. At that time, in order to survive, Liaojiang will have to Yong Shi is attached to Da Qin, and all this is because of Yun Xiao.

Xiao Chuo looked at the handsome young man in front of him complicatedly. She knew how important Yun Xiao was, and Zhou Chen knew it too, so he locked himself in with his Qi along the way.She had no doubt that if she dared to act a little presumptuously, Zhou Chen would kill her without hesitation.

The daughter of the leader of Liaojiang is not worth mentioning in front of Yun Xiao today!

The best way now is to make a long-term agreement with Daqin Zaiyunxiao before she has completely armed this huge empire. Daqin abides by the agreement and never breaks the agreement easily. Only by signing in advance can the loss minimized.

"Hello, Miss Xiao?" Xiao Chuo was thinking about how to speak, how to negotiate, when suddenly a hand flashed before his eyes.

Seeing Xiao Chuo waking up from a big dream, Yun Xiao also admired her in her heart. Standing there in a daze in the ice and snow, the Liaojiang people are really amazing.

Xiao Chuo came back to his senses, saw Yun Xiao was wrapped in a big coat, moving his body from left to right, and asked suspiciously, "Did you call me just now?"

Yun Xiao nodded, "Yes, it's too cold, why don't you go out for a walk and do some activities?"

Xiao Chuo looked at Yun Xiao's bright eyes and the inexplicable smile on his face, guessing that she might have something to say to him, so he nodded.

Zhou Chen has been paying attention to Xiao Chuo. Seeing that Yun Xiao and Xiao Chuo are about to leave, she hastily followed. Xiao followed the hidden guards, hesitated again in her own city, but stopped.

Yun Xiao and Xiao Chuo were walking in the empty city, the sky and the ground were all white, against which Yun Xiao who was dressed in black was very eye-catching.

"I've never seen such a heavy snow before." Xiao Chuo looked at Yun Xiao's shrinking body and said lightly.

Yun Xiao raised her eyes and shook her head, "I've seen it." She lived in the north in her previous life. Although this kind of heavy snow is rare, it is not completely unheard of. Thinking of this, she misses the down jacket again, but the inside of the down jacket is basically full of snow. Duck down, Yun Xiao thought maybe he could make a down jacket from Daqin...

Xiao Chuo looked at the thoughtful Yun Xiao, thinking that it reminded her of some sad past, so he didn't say anything.

Yun Xiao led Xiao Chuo up to the city wall. I don't know if it was because of the heavy snow, Zhanjiang was not affected, but the water was even bigger.

Yun Xiao looked at Zhanjiang below, and said casually, "Guess what I want to tell you?"

Standing beside Yun Xiao, Xiao Chuo also looked down, did not answer Yun Xiao's question but said firmly, "Impossible!"

Yun Xiao was amused, "You don't even know what I'm going to say, so you answered so simply?"

Xiao Chuo turned his head and looked directly at Yun Xiao, "I admit that there is no place in Liaojiang that can trade with Daqin on an equal footing, but this does not mean that we people in Liaojiang will submit to this, even if we break our wings, the eagle will die in the sky! "

Listening to Xiao Chuo's impassioned words and her determination to cut off the wrists of a strong man, Yun Xiao admired this woman a little bit. In this era, this opinion is really not bad, so she stopped teasing her and said, "I didn't want to let The idea of ​​your surrender, Daqin is already very big, and the expansion of the territory is just a statement for future generations."

"Liaojiang is your sky. If you surrender for a while, you won't surrender for a lifetime. Why should I do that useless work?"

Xiao Chuo really looked at Yun Xiao differently this time. There is no emperor who has no ambitions for the country. This person clearly holds a great opportunity in his hand, but he said it was useless?

Is this man really an emperor?

"Would you like me to teach you how to farm? Although Liaojiang is cold in winter, there is still enough rice to be harvested in spring and autumn." Yun Xiaoyu was not surprised.

Xiao Chuo's expression became more and more serious. Although Yun Xiao's tone seemed to be joking, Xiao Chuo could hear the seriousness from it. Thinking about the past, although Yun Xiao's words were surprising every time, but never once was without aim.

"Are you really willing to teach us?" Xiao Chuo asked suspiciously.

Yun Xiao widened her eyes and nodded seriously, "Of course! Although the Northland is cold, the soil is extremely fertile. One season of rice is enough for the Liao people to eat for a year, and there will be some surplus."

"Then aren't you afraid that the people in Liaojiang will become more abundant and attack your Great Qin?" Xiao Chuo said bluntly.

Yun Xiao curled her lips, thinking that this person really dared to say anything, and if he brought up such a heartbreaking topic in front of her, wouldn't he be afraid that she would pick him up?Is she shameless!

Yun Xiao said indifferently with a straight face, "You're right, I won't teach anymore."

Xiao Chuo didn't expect Yun Xiao to change his face suddenly, and then he realized how presumptuous his words were just now. It was about Liaojiang.

"Okay, look at how scared you are."

Xiao Chuo raised his head, Yun Xiao had a smile on his face, not as serious as before.

Yun Xiao folded his hands in his hand, looked into the distance and asked unhurriedly, "How many people are there in Liaojiang?"

Xiao Chuo frowned, "There are millions of people."

Yun Xiao: "Then do you know that Daqin alone has nearly a million people in its capital? When you attack Daqin, what do you use to attack?"

Yun Xiao withdrew her gaze and turned to Xiao Chuo, "Take a step back and say, even if you are really defeated, can you hold on? If you want to rely on millions of people to enslave people who are several times or even ten times more than you, you Do you think it's possible?"

Xiao Chuo took a deep look at Yun Xiao, he had some calculations in his heart, and didn't continue the topic, "You just taught us how to farm, so you can't teach us in vain, right? What do you want?"

Yun Xiao smiled happily, chatting with smart people is comfortable, "I... be careful!"

Xiao Chuo was still waiting for Yun Xiao's next words, when he was dragged forward suddenly, Xiao Chuo didn't have time to react and bumped straight forward, but was caught by an arm in time, stopping the castration.

"Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang..." A dense and urgent voice fell in Xiao Chuo's ears, it was the sound of arrows being nailed to the pillars of the city gate.

"Follow me!" Yun Xiao's voice fell into Xiao Chuo's ear, Xiao Chuo tried his best to keep calm, and followed Yun Xiao down the city wall, with the sound of arrows piercing the wind from time to time, Xiao Chuo tried his best to speed up his pace , subconsciously holding Yun Xiao's arm tightly with one hand.

After finally getting down the city wall, Xiao Chuo realized that Yun Xiao not only hugged her to prevent her from falling, but also held her head with one hand to prevent her from being shot, and her own face was already as pale as snow It's the same, thinking about it, I was too scared just now.

"Your Majesty!" No. [-] followed closely, knelt down on one knee, "This subordinate deserves to die, if he didn't discover the thief in advance, please punish him, Your Majesty."

Yun Xiao waved her hands with a pale face. If she hadn't happened to see the reflection of the arrow, the first round of attacking them would have been more dangerous. These people obviously had plans in advance.

But she went to the city wall just on a whim, even if there are traitors, it is impossible to predict their whereabouts in advance, unless...

Yun Xiao's thoughts changed sharply, unless these people had other arrangements in the first place, but they happened to be on the city wall, so they planned to take the risk and take the owl's head!

So what was their original arrangement?
