Chapter 217 Hard-boiled Eggs
In the afternoon, the cicadas also died of heat.
The mountain pass leading to Yunyin Temple has been sealed off.
The mountain pass is several dozen feet wide, and a long path is built with wooden fences, earth and stones, extending to the mountains on both sides, which is quite imposing.
The wood was as thick as an arm or a thigh, very strong, one or two people tall, and difficult to climb. With the addition of some earth and rocks, although it was not repaired, it was obvious that it would be stronger after completion. The people inside could stand on the earth and rocks to attack, which was comparable to a city wall.
There was a missing piece on the west side of the wooden fence, but it was fenced off separately to build a Yunyin Temple.
To the east of the wooden fence there were fields and land with a small stream flowing out. The fence built a bridge over the stream, passing between the fields and land.
This is a kind of resolute and irresistible, dividing this area into inside and outside. The main gate in the middle is under repair, and there are spacious areas inside and outside.
People were busy repairing fences, roads and houses inside, which seemed like a large-scale construction project; roads and houses were also being repaired outside. Dageng Village was very busy, even during the hottest times.
The fields were not the busiest at this time, and they did not need so many workers. They all found work. The Weiguo government paid high wages, 30 coins a day plus three catties of rice, and there were additional rewards for good work. Many people wanted to earn some money even if they did not work in the fields, so the work in the fields was left to women.
A large group of people were busy transporting stones on the road, when suddenly a group of horses rushed over!
It was so aggressive that people had to avoid it.
The horses charged forward, very fiercely! Dozens of people charged forward with the momentum of thousands of troops.
There were suddenly several rows of barricades in the middle of the wooden fence, specially designed to deal with horses.
No matter how ferocious the horses were, they had to stop. But they still rushed in with great momentum!
A warrior immediately shouted angrily: "King Wei, accept the order!"
This group of warriors is so powerful! And those fine horses are more noble than ordinary horses.
There were only a few people in Yunyin Temple, and the few people who came to watch were all hiding carefully, just like the cicadas that died of heat on the trees. If you like summer, you may die of heat. If you like to eat melons, you may die of bloating.
Ding! Bang! Ding! Bang!
The workers were still busy, not taking a break even at the hottest time of the day. They were rushing to work. It was so hot today, and everyone got a high temperature subsidy of 20 wen. We have only seen numerous taxes and levies, but we have never seen the King of Wei giving out benefits in various ways, right? So why not work? Money is the most practical thing. As long as the King gives money, everyone can work ten hours a day. No one should delay them from making money.
And no one dared to collapse from exhaustion, because if they did, they would lose their money. Only after working 26 days a month could they get a full month's salary.
There were many people working, and they all had tools in their hands. They were not necessarily afraid of those people, but they just didn't want to waste their time for them, as they were not as interested in money as they were.
After a while, the King of Wei was nowhere to be seen. Several people moved the barricades away.
There are girls busy in the fields.
Yunzhang came out wearing a beautiful straw hat and carrying a large basket covered with a piece of cloth, as if he was bringing snacks to his father.
Several maids followed the girl out to eat melons, and the onlookers were all in the moonlight! Although the King of Wei was also, Sima Yi was still one of them. It is said that many women have not married for him yet, which is really harmful to others.
According to Prince Wei, he has a niece, a county princess, who is still waiting for Boyu and will not marry anyone else.
Yun Zhang and a group of girls sat on the rocks by the stream, admiring Guangdehou. There were big trees, clear streams, fish and shrimps on the side. It was a very beautiful place.
Yunzhang first admired this place, and then planted some flowers under the fence, which would make it more beautiful.
Everyone looked at Sima Yi, Marquis of Guangde, whose courtesy name was Boyu, riding a majestic white horse. He was indeed a man of godly character!
As the General of the Cavalry Guard, Sima Yi looked like a celestial general when he was wearing armor!
I have seen many Tiger Guards here, their armors are stained with blood and cut, but they are definitely not as good-looking as this one. The armor of the General of the Central Army is very beautifully made, like the third place in the imperial court.
Sima Yi was also very good-looking! He had a high nose bridge, deep eyes, and a face as sharp as a knife, which was particularly cold and hard!
It is a completely different style from Prince Wei. Prince Wei is exquisite, like a flower on an iceberg; Sima Yi is cold and handsome, and this look suits him more.
Sima Yi's sword and the carved bow are not only good-looking, but also very good at fighting. His posture on horseback is also very handsome! This is something that ordinary people can't pretend to be!
Once you see Boyu, you will regret your whole life. The little girls by the stream didn't have this feeling, and neither did Yunzhang.
King Wei hasn't been seen for a long time.
Immediately, a warrior roared again: "King Wei, accept the order!"
Yun Zhang said casually: "Shout! Shout! It's no use even if you shout your throat out!"
Hehe, everyone nearby who heard it laughed. Isn't it fun to come here to ask King Wei to order you?
Sima Yi, riding on his horse, suddenly stared at Yun Zhang.
Like a wolf.
Yun Zhang generously went forward to eat the melon. He still had the basket on his arm. It was too hot, so he found a tree to stay under.
A warrior shouted: "Are you the daughter of the Yun family?"
Yun Zhang asked crisply, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
The warrior was furious: "Why don't you kneel down and confess your guilt?"
Yun Zhang said crisply: "Can you scare people with your loud voice?" She didn't bother to talk to these little dogs and continued to look at Sima Yi, this extremely loyal dog.
Sima Yi stared at her fiercely.
Yun Zhang looked straight ahead, but in his mind he was thinking about the story of Wang Yuan and his wife, which must be extremely exciting. Yun Zhang didn't read it carefully. In fact, in the original book, there was a story about Wang Yuan and the general after she became the empress dowager. It was too exciting and not suitable for a girl like her. He just wanted to take a sneak peek...
Sima Yi showed no mercy to other women and gave a cold order: "Capture them!"
Two armored soldiers stepped forward and grabbed Yunzhang, and their big hands tried to ruthlessly break Yunzhang's neck.
Yun Zhang took a stick and knocked him unconscious.
Sima Yi was furious: "You dare to resist? Kill!" He stared at the girl closely.
Two armored soldiers came forward with knives in hand, trying to chop Yun Zhang off.
Yun Zhang took a stick and knocked him unconscious.
Two more masters rushed towards Yun Zhang.
Yun Zhang took the stick and knocked him unconscious. Then he pointed the stick at Sima Yi and said casually: "If you have the guts, come over here, I won't hit you."
"How dare you!" Several masters rode their horses and slashed at Yunzhang with their swords!
Yunzhang took out a few eggs from the basket and threw them over.
Several masters fell off their horses and fainted.
The horse rushed forward and was stopped by several people.
Yun Zhang still looked at Sima Yi, then looked at the people around him, it was very interesting.
Sima Yi was extremely angry, sneered, picked up the precious carved bow and aimed it at Yun Zhang.
Some people hurried up from behind, both men and women, riding horses and donkeys, crookedly, not at all like Sima Yi's majestic demeanor.
Sima Yi was standing in the sun, wearing armor, but his expression remained unchanged.
The faces of the middle-aged men and women who came were very colorful. Some were red, some were purple, and some had makeup washed away by their sweat, looking like ghosts.
A woman who was very fat rushed to Yun Zhang and shouted breathlessly: "Don't worry, don't worry!"
The man was wearing a gauze robe that was soaked with sweat. He didn't bother to wipe the sweat off his face. He hurriedly found someone and said, "Please ask the prince to come out! Don't miss the important event!"
