Chapter 32 The Legend of Yelang Royal Court(1/2)
When the sun shines on Leyuan County, a group of old people and children start new 'jobs' one after another.
They brought out a pedal grinding wheel that was similar to a unicycle, and the young half-year-old children pedaled the grinding wheel happily, as if they had got some kind of toy.
The old people are responsible for grinding the needles on the grinding wheel. They can grind out fifty needles in an hour. They can earn 5 cents a day, which is 150 cents a month! They can buy one stone of rice, which is enough for a family of four.
Two months!
You must know that in ordinary times, the elderly and children like them are the kind of "Hua Gulong" who can't do much work and can only eat.
If it weren't for the fact that the young and strong laborers were embarrassed, and the number of needed workers was limited, the strong laborers would not want to farm, but would come here to sharpen needles.
It's easy and easy to make money quickly. It's worthy of Mr. Li Yu's property.
Even the county magistrate endorsed Mr. Li Yu's business and personally arranged for people to polish the needle tips. Such extravagance made families in Leyuan County with girls of the right age often let their daughters pass in front of the house where Li Yu and others lived.
, see if we can get married.
"Girl of the Nie family, morning~~"
"Morning, Aunt Hu."
"Zhang Erniang, it's early for you -"
When they saw the blacksmith girl Nie Lan passing by, a group of old women who were polishing needlepoints greeted each other with smiles. After a few words, the topic turned to Li Yu without any trace.
"Master? You went out early this morning."
The blacksmith girl didn't have any thoughts and answered honestly.
"Master, Sister Wen, Fei Shu, and Shanzhu, Du Sanniang, may be going to hunt monsters, or they may be to capture bandits. I don't know the specific time."
The 'master' in the girl's mouth is Li Yu. Although Li Yu does not think he has the ability to be a 'master', in Nie Lan's view, if a person with great ability like Li Yu is not a master, then what else can he dare to call himself a master?
Craftsman?
"Hey, what a pity."ωωw..net
After Nie Lan left, a group of old women shook their heads.
"Master Li is good at everything, but...why do you like Miss Taixi?"
"I heard that Miss Wen is Mr. Li's personal bodyguard. Her skills are very impressive, and she is no match for hundreds of big men..."
While grinding needles and chatting, the old women who originally hoped that one of their descendants would catch Li Yu's eye couldn't help but sigh. With such a fierce and close Taixi girl here, I'm afraid their granddaughter wouldn't have a chance.
Li Yu, who had no idea that he had become a 'good son-in-law' in the eyes of everyone in Leyuan County, had already set off into the mountains with a few people early.
————
"This is it,"
Standing in front of a hollow halfway up the mountain, Li Yu couldn't help but sigh.
This is the tomb-robbing cave where he was dragged in by the soldiers and bandits to be used as cannon fodder at the beginning of his time travel!
It was here that he and Winnie supported each other and escaped. Later, they moved to Leyuan County, understood the cause and effect with the armor captain, and gained a firm foothold. Today, Li Yu, who was fully prepared, took Winnie with him
, Flying Squirrel, Shan Zhu, Du Sanniang and other 'masters' visited their old place again.
"If I'm not mistaken, the area around here should be the 'Tianma Mountain Range'."
The beauty Du Sanniang, who was wearing a black silk robe and had a voluptuous figure, looked around and then pointed to the two mountains next to her.
"Over there are Beauty Mountain and Lang Mountain, so the mountain in front of you is 'Yehe'? From this point of view, does this robbery cave lead to the place where the 'Golden Bamboo Royal Court' is located?"
Most of the mountains on Qianzhong Road have no names, because there are too many peaks here. Standing on any top of the mountain and looking up, you will see nothing but mountains. And the fact that these mountains have names means that
Many people once lived here: because only people can name mountains, plus the name "Golden Bamboo Royal Court"...
"You mean, this is the tomb of 'King Yelang'?"
Li Yu couldn't help but frowned. Although there is a Yelang County nearby, this is the era of the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Ancient Yelang Kingdom was destroyed as early as the end of the Western Han Dynasty, which was a thousand years ago.
I didn't expect that it would be related to the beginning of his time travel.
"The arrogant Yelang?"
The blond Loli Momonga spoke, and even the bald man Shanzhu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, obviously knowing this allusion.
According to the timeline of this world, about a thousand years ago, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent an envoy to find a passage to Shendu (Asan), passing by Yelang. King Yelang asked the envoy, "Which Han is older than me?"
This angered the strong men and laid the seeds for the destruction of the country in the future. It became synonymous with arrogance, ignorance, and arrogance.
"Actually, this is a completely unfounded disaster,"
Standing at the door of the excavated robbery cave, Li Yu shook his head.
"The traffic on the Central Guizhou Road is so congested that once you visit it, you will never forget it. That's why Yelang thought he was the leader of a state, but he didn't know the vastness of the Han Dynasty."
In any case, weakness is the original sin. Facing the powerful army, King Yelang's "Golden Bamboo Palace" collapsed, and the country was destroyed. Except for the sentence "Yelang is arrogant", all traces were tyrannically erased!
"Master Li is indeed very knowledgeable. If this is really the location of Yelang's royal court, where..."
Licking her lips, the eyes of the beauty in silk black robe flashed with excitement.
This is Yelang Royal Court!
Although it was destroyed by the Han Dynasty army, it does not mean that the Yelang Kingdom is not strong: the strength depends on who you compare with. Compared with the Han Dynasty with various powerful monks, land gods, and famous generals gathered in the records, the Yelang Kingdom is naturally very weak.
But if compared with these warriors and spirits who are still in the 'C' level, the Yelang Kingdom is definitely a powerful behemoth.
If this place had not been excavated, it would undoubtedly be a treasure!
"Let's go,"
Taking out his cell phone, Li Yu took the lead and stepped into the dark cave.
A few hours later——
"Master Li, why did you leave in such a hurry?!"
Coming out of the thief's cave, Du Sanniang questioned the leader Li Yu in disbelief. If it weren't for Winnie next to her and the ferocious short knife 'Hu Amber' in her hand, which forced the transformed cuckoo to calm down, she would have almost stopped.
We have to go straight to arrest Li Yu.
"Because our goal has been accomplished,"
This time, Li Yu was not prepared to explore this ancient tomb: although the navigation function of his mobile phone was there, he could perfectly avoid all the traps. But in Li Yu’s view, since the owner here had built so many traps,
It is impossible not to be prepared for tomb robbers who are proficient in mechanisms: if there are a few second-class and above spirit monsters guarding the tomb, Li Yu and others will be in trouble.
"That is to dismantle those mechanism materials and take them away."
That's right, after Li Yu set foot on the 'Craftsman's Path', the dense traps in the underground tomb passages were excellent materials for him. Although it is a bit unethical to take the things of the dead, the other party must have acted as a '
Seniors should forgive Li Yu...
"As for the treasures of the 'Golden Bamboo Royal Court'... First of all, I don't think this underground tomb is from a thousand years ago. Those moiré floor tiles are full of the style of the Tang Dynasty;"
"Secondly, if this is really the Golden Bamboo Palace from a thousand years ago, what do you think will happen if we step into it rashly with our strength?"
"Sorry, Mr. Li."
After calming down, Du Sanniang also agreed with Li Yu's statement.
In fact, if Mr. Li Yu hadn't accurately pointed out the traps along the way and everyone worked together to dismantle them, those traps alone would have been enough to kill them all. Regardless of whether this was the 'Golden Bamboo Royal Court' or not, it wasn't
A place they can easily get their hands on.
It’s just... I’m so unwilling to do so.
This feeling of entering Baoshan and returning empty-handed made Du Sanniang couldn't help biting her lip with a sad look on her face.
"Sanniang, look away."
On the contrary, the bald and muscular man "Black Crow" Shan Zhu looked indifferent.
"Sometimes your destiny must be fulfilled, but when your destiny is not there, don't force it; let it go when you have to, and turn back early when there is no way out."
"What's so rare about Lao Shizi's tomb? I only believe in the knife in my hand and you, Sanniang!"
"It's my concubine's fault. The master is right."
The beautiful figure in black silk robes with a sweet smile turned half a circle and lay on the back of the bald man.
"I'm tired, I want you to carry me."
···
I asked you to be a thug, not to show off your affection!
Li Yu rolled his eyes. The reason he roped in these two guys was, on the one hand, he was afraid that they would stay in Leyuan County to cause trouble, and on the other hand, it also gave him two more combat forces. As a result, there were no surprises in this operation.
Li Yu, who is used to walking and hitting wherever he goes, is a little uncomfortable with it.
"Let's go back."
After getting rid of this idea, Li Yu, who was satisfied with obtaining a large amount of materials from the underground tomb's mechanism passage, took several people back to Leyuan County.
————
"Everyone in the world thinks that Yelang Royal Court is in the Pegasus Mountains, but that is just a misinformation."
In Baozhou next door, two mysterious men wearing bamboo hats and red robes, with raised collars covering their faces, were walking in a bamboo forest. Intermittent broken bricks and tiles could be seen between the bamboo forests, and nearby
