Chapter 157 Challenging
Lin Guan seemed to have not heard Yang Yuying clearly and lay on the bed and sighed: "I'm afraid it's not okay to find someone to pretend to be a robber to catch people. It seems that there are three people alone, but there must be guards around you. It's too obvious to send someone to block the way. Finding a charge to arrest people? That guy Liu Chengyu doesn't dare."
Zhou Zhao was once the Marquis of Wei Anhou of the Dashun Dynasty, and was also a master of weapons and a master of mechanisms. He once taught at the Royal Academy and served as an imperial teacher.
He had a son, Zhou Chong, a famous general of Dashun, with outstanding military power. Not to mention the number one in the world, but also the number one in the capital. He was the commander of the imperial guards and was his confidant.
Twenty-two years ago, the country of Wu invaded the territory, and His Majesty personally fought, and the Zhou father and son led the army to confront the country of Wu.
As a result, in the battle of Xiao'anshan, Dengzhou, the Zhou father and son were defeated and seriously injured and captured. The Wu Kingdom spent three years and four months to surrender the Zhou father and son... Later, Zhou Zhaoguan was appointed as the left prime minister, Zhou Chong was granted the title of first-rank general, married Princess Xianning of the Wu Kingdom, and became the son-in-law.
Dashun and Wu Kingdom fought for many years, and they were all captive and surrendered generals, but Zhou Chong and his son were the most powerful generals who surrendered to Dashun.
Logically speaking, Dashun should have hated Zhou Chong and his son deeply, and the royal family especially hated him, but Zhou Chong and his son were captured at the beginning, one for rescue, and the other for some other reasons. Although Dashun knew that they had joined the country of Wu, the emperor did nothing, and even the people of the Zhou family did not deal with it.
Because of this, all the civil and military officials in the court advised him at that time. After all, if they could not criticize the surrendered people, what should they do if the soldiers follow suit in the future?
The court advocated the execution of the Zhou family, implicating the nine clans to serve as a warning to others.
But the emperor always left some face to the Zhou family. Even a few years later, some people in the Zhou family lived in seclusion and some went to the Wu Kingdom, but the emperor did not deliberately stop them.
In recent years, Dashun and the Kingdom of Wu had a truce and signed an alliance. Although there were constant small conflicts, the war was gone.
In Dengzhou, due to the feud between the two countries, the people of the states and counties outside the border have gradually forgotten the pain.
Moreover, the people are at ease, and most people are unwilling to fight. Most people are happy about the signing of a pact between the two countries. In other words, the people in Dengzhou are fierce and the people are martial. They have conflicts with the U State every year, and they are always killing themselves.
The relationship between the two countries eased, and Zhou Zhao retired last year. His son Zhou Chong also returned to the son-in-law's mansion to upbring due to injury. The two of them had long lost their real power in the Wu Kingdom and had much freedom...
"I came to Dashun to do something recklessly, and it really caused trouble for people."
Lin Guan raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows, sighing.
At this time, Yang Yuying and Xia Zhiming ignored him and sat on the stone table in the inn garden to eat.
While eating, the two of them read books.
Yang Yuying put anonymous scroll on her knees, flipping page by page: "Do you believe in Guan Lin?"
Xia Zhiming smiled: "Yes."
However, after he said, "I believe he won't harm people, but don't interfere. No one knows how many pitfalls will be on the way forward."
"...I have had a relationship with him for twenty years, and I can get a lot of tricks, but why bother to implicate innocent people?"
The innocent Yang Yuying lowered her head.
The "Twenty-Four and a Half" by the master of the agency Zhou Zhao appeared on the nameless scroll.
These twenty-four and a half are the result of Zhou Zhao's efforts over the years, and are the mechanical pictures created by him after combining many classics such as Gongshuzi and Mo Jing.
Twenty-four complete pictures.
Half of it took ten years to go, but it has never been perfected.
The mechanism drawn on this half drawing is a large siege mechanism, and it does not have the disadvantage of heavy equipment. Walking on a mountain road is like walking on flat ground, which is both strong and skillful.
In addition to twenty-four pictures, the Anonymous Scroll also collects all kinds of relevant and top-notch materials within a century for Yang Yuying's reference.
After reading it carefully, Yang Yuying took out his usual painting book, put it on the stone table, and started drawing "Twenty-Four Pictures" with a charcoal pen.
Her speed was extremely fast. Soon, the first one fell on paper, and it was a warship.
Now the Dashun Dynasty also has its own advanced warships, but compared with other countries with the same strong combat power, it is still a little behind in this regard.
Even the maritime power of the Wu Kingdom is stronger than that of the Dashun Dynasty.
The warship on Zhou Zhao's first machine picture is a whole ironclad ship, equipped with artillery and steam engines, and equipped with heavy crossbows. The overall look is very beautiful.
After Yang Yuying finished drawing the front, she drew the side and quickly finished drawing the sectional view. Each structure was drawn separately, and the comments continued to be written next to her.
Xia Zhiming couldn't help but snatch a picture and looked at it, and couldn't help but praise: "Yuying, you really have a beautiful heart. There are very few men in this world who can compare to you!"
Yang Yuying laughed: "Why should we distinguish between men and women?"
"……Too."
Yang Yuying chuckled and looked at him sideways. He saw a young man and a young man slowly walking over at the Moon Gate.
The old man's face was extremely embarrassed and full of apology. He pushed his granddaughter and sighed: "This girl in my family is used to being willful. Oh, how dare you ask the young master's injury? Is it important? Please let my granddaughter go and apologize."
Xia Zhiming had no expression on his face, and his expression was cold: "No need, let your granddaughter stay away from Lin Guan!"
The old man was even more embarrassed.
His little granddaughter's face turned red, his eyes were red from anger, and he said angrily: "It's obviously that man who is a bastard. The toad wants to eat swan meat. If he beat him to death, he will be..."
Xia Zhiming's face became even colder: "In terms of appearance and talent, you can't even compare with my companions. Lin Guan is not so hungry and will never choose to eat!"
Yang Yuying rarely sees Xia Zhiming as so... mean.
He should have known that it must be that the boy Lin Guan saw that the girl had a bad temper and deliberately made trouble. If it was right or wrong, Lin Guan was probably responsible for it.
The little girl was so angry that her eyes turned black. She clenched her fists and stomped her feet and rushed towards Xia Zhiming.
She didn't know how many punches she made in one breath, but she was getting faster and faster, but she didn't even touch Xia Zhiming's hair.
The little girl was so tired that she was out of breath, sweating profusely, and was exhausted. She finally couldn't beat her. When she stopped and saw that Xia Zhiming's posture had not changed and she was still sitting in a straight position.
She was stunned for a moment, and even suspected that she was dreaming just now.
The old man looked solemn. He immediately saw that the young man had not not moved just now, but was extremely fast and had a mysterious step, perfectly avoiding all the tricks of his granddaughter.
Yang Yuying coughed and said with a smile: "Xiaoxia, why bother with the little girl?"
He comforted Xia Zhiming, then turned to the little girl and said, "Miss, don't blame us Xiaoxia for being angry. I admit that our companion is sometimes frivolous and excessive, which makes people want to beat him, but I never believe that he will be rude to you. No matter how worried Lin Guan's temperament makes people worry, he has never bullied women and children from beginning to end."
The little girl was stunned, so confused.
Thinking about what happened this morning, the man was really just whispering and chattering in her ears, sometimes praising her beauty, sometimes praising her figure, and from her hair to her hands, she was already worried and bored to hear it, and the man was very annoying, so he started to do it.
But that was also wrong with that person, and he didn't recognize him. He was jumping under his nose like a fly. Shouldn't he be beaten?
The old man saw that his daughter was defeated, but he was not in a hurry. He glanced at the drawings on the table, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled, as if he was quite interested.
