Chapter 233

No matter whether Pei Wu is good or evil, at least the days have been quiet. He is diligent in training every day, so that people can't find out what's wrong.

Pei Ming doesn't stare at him any more. He doesn't want to let him down. He wants to let himself relax. Maybe he can show something.

Xue tingji is the same. The main reason is that he has to be busy supervising the construction of the tower. The craftsmen are very skilled. Now the tower has begun to take shape.

Based on stone and wood, it seems simple, but in fact, it is a delicate work which is resistant to strong wind and light and stable.

The wood is made from local pine trees. All the old trees are surrounded by six feet. After being painted, they are resistant to insects and water. Not to mention 100 years, they can stand for at least 50 years.

The craftsmen's boasting amused Xue tingji, "I don't want to use this tower for 50 years."

The soldiers who were busy transporting wood beside them also laughed at the craftsmen and said, "you should say that if this tower is built, the Xiongnu will be destroyed and I will be unified. Your highness will be happy to hear that, won't you, your highness?"

There are a lot of manpower in the barracks. In addition to daily training, the rest of the time has to come to help. In the past, those arrogant soldiers of the Pei family were severely punished. They had to work even after being beaten by the army staff, so that everyone can remember the end of disobeying the rules.

But because of this, he wanted to prevent these people from retaliating deliberately, so the supervisor kept an eye on them every day. It's general Tan who reminds us that the admiral is suspicious and easy to alienate the people under him.

"Now that the punishment has been made, let's expose it. Otherwise, who would be happy if you let them work hard to please?"

In Xue tingji's style, he naturally didn't care whether others were happy or not. Although he thought that general Tan was too easy to speak, he still followed the advice and let the soldiers take a breath.

However, as soon as he walked away, some people turned their heads, exchanged their eyes in silence, and then continued to be busy as if nothing had happened.

The next day, another batch of goods and materials arrived. Everyone gathered around and hoped to have their own letters. Pei Ming stood upstairs and looked at them from a distance, but didn't see Pei Li.

Maybe he will wait until the silver plate finds out the result and then come back. I hope they can go well and come back early so that she can be at ease.

But at this time, there were some imperceptible small movements in the crowd. The officers and soldiers in charge of the escort handed a small bag to a soldier.

What's more interesting is that the circle of people around them is just right. They are all Pei's soldiers.

It rained heavily that night. The sky was full of thunder and torrential rain. There was almost no light. It was over the barracks, which made people panic.

On the side of the unfinished tower, there are temporary workshops and houses for craftsmen. The construction period is approaching, and there are not many projects left. It's rare for us to drink a little wine to relax, so that the thunder outside doesn't sound so terrible.

In the middle of drinking, a figure suddenly appeared at the door. They were so scared that they even fell the wine bowl, but they didn't dare to scream.

The man outside the door was dressed in a military uniform with a serious face. Behind him was the blue light. In front of him was the amazement of the craftsmen. But without frowning, he went straight into the room.

Although they have been here for a long time, these craftsmen dare not provoke these soldiers easily. They can't distinguish their ranks, and they don't care whether they are old or young. When they see them, they all shout "Lord Jun".

"This evening, what's the matter with you coming here in person?"

The young soldier squinted at them and threw a packet of oil paper on the table. "This is a good thing that our highness found. It's mixed with wood paint."

The craftsmen looked at each other with trembling hands and feet. They opened the oil paper package and found that it was some gray powder. Rao Shi, these old craftsmen could not see what it was. They could not help hesitating, "Jun, Jun ye, this is..."

"Your Highness's orders, do you dare to ask?" The tone of the officers and men is very bad. Let them just do it, and watch them use it with their own eyes, right now.

Although no longer dare to say anything, the craftsmen are still very hesitant. After being repeatedly urged, they still sprinkle the powder into the raw lacquer to be used tomorrow.

The officer also told them to paint more, otherwise your Highness's efforts would be in vain.

As soon as he turned around and returned to the rain, the craftsmen took a long breath and whispered, "what kind of thing did your highness find?"

"If something happens, can we afford it?"

"You have to be down-to-earth in life and work. Why don't you ask your highness tomorrow?"

They had just finished the discussion, but they heard a very strange cold hum. They turned around and saw that it was the army master just now. How did he come back?!

The soldier listened to what they had just said clearly. His eyebrows sank a little, and his tone was even more impatient than just now. "Since you doubt it, do you want to invite your highness now?"

Several craftsmen shook their heads, but they still didn't dispel the doubt in their heart. They heard a word that made them sweat.

"Just do your own business. When the tower is completed, I will escort you back. Please rest assured."What does that mean? Is this a warning to them that if they dare to talk too much, they will never come back

One of the cowards knelt down with soft legs, and the others were not much better. On the contrary, the soldier laughed and swept away his evil face.

"What are you doing to make your highness think I'm scaring you? Come on, it's not early. You'd better drink less wine to save tomorrow's business."

After seeing the craftsmen nodding their heads like pecking rice, he left again and soon disappeared in the dark. This time, the craftsmen learned to be smart, and it took them a long time to wipe their sweat.

"Maybe he is his Highness's confidant. He will come at this time for fear of delaying tomorrow's work."

"Yes Right? Otherwise, who would like to come here in such a heavy rain outside? "

They all saw the fear of each other, and then turned their eyes to the bucket of raw lacquer, and swallowed their saliva one after another

At the same time, the southern land was also engulfed by the rainstorm. In the middle of the road between Changxi and the Imperial City, the two horses ran very fast. They stepped into the mud and splashed water.

All of a sudden, an arrow came and wiped out blood, which caused pain and hum. Jin Zhan almost fell off his horse and held on to the reins.

"Sister!" Silver plate is not so good heart, was scared to cry out, Pei Li let her don't move, if fall off the horse will die.

The horse's back was bumpy, and the silver plate could only cling to Perry's waist. Although he tried his best to endure, he still sobbed, which showed that he was greatly frightened.

Only Perry was better. He galloped his horse to escape quickly, but the people and horses who were chasing after him didn't want to let them go. The arrows were soaked in the rain and pointed straight at their backs in the dark.

Then, the sharp arrow left, but the galloping horse lost its hoof and hissed at the same time and was drowned in the roaring rain
