Chapter 5

Brother Cheng has a good sleep.

A loud laugh outside the tent woke Cheng Zongyang up.

Wen Ze, the general, stepped in and placed the tray in his hand on the ground.

Only then did Cheng Zongyang realize that it was already night, and the moonlight like water leaked into the tent, sprinkling a dazzling silver frost.

Huh?

Seeing the dense grass beside Cheng Zongyang, Wen Ze couldn't help but look surprised.

Cheng Zongyang was also confused. He didn't remember that he was sleeping in the grass, but the grass under the mat was half a foot deep, almost covering his body.

After a moment of stammering, Cheng Zongyang asked in confusion: Do the grass on the grassland grow so fast?

Wen Ze shook his head and looked at Cheng Zongyang with a strange look.

Cheng Zongyang smiled bitterly and said: Don’t look at me like this.I don't know what's going on either.

Maybe the water veins here are different.

Wen Ze let go of this matter and said with a smile: Brother Cheng has been working all the way, probably because he has been tired.There is no wine in the army, so I can use some food and rice slowly.

There was only a small bowl of japonica rice in the wooden tray, but there were two large pieces of cooked meat, and another bowl of broth served with it.

The tableware is a copper dagger for cutting meat and a pair of wooden chopsticks.

Cheng Zongyang only drank two sips of coffee on the plane. He was so hungry that he started eating without hesitation.

Cheng Zongyang felt something was wrong when the rice and food was in his mouth.

The japonica rice tastes boring, and it is clearly the chen rice that has been stored for a long time.

I don’t know what kind of animal the two pieces of meat came from. They were enough, but they were thick and hard, and they didn’t add any salt at all, and they were boiled completely in white water.

Wenze explained: Don’t blame Brother Cheng.Our army has been out of the frontier for more than three months, and the vegetables, vegetables, rice and rice have been used up.This little japonica rice is saved.Even the general usually eats white water horse meat.

horsemeat?

This is the first time Cheng Zongyang has tasted the taste of horse meat. This is probably an old horse, and the taste is very unpalatable.

He barely took a few bites and then put down his dagger. Thank you, Wen, for joining the army, I am already full.

Wen Ze had no intention of leaving. He knelt down in front of Cheng Zongyang and said: Look at Brother Cheng's appearance, is he also a member of the Six Dynasties?

Cheng Zongyang thought to himself: Come on.The army was fighting outside, and a stranger suddenly came to the camp. As a military officer, Wen Ze must have found out his background.

Cheng Zongyang thought quickly and reinterpreted the story he made up for Lin Caiquan.

Wen Ze listened very seriously. He heard that he was a businessman and asked: Where do Brother Cheng usually does business?What business is you doing?

Cheng Zongyang couldn't even say a place name at this moment, so he had to vaguely say: In the inland of the Six Dynasties, it was just after passing the Great Snow Mountain.

Wen Ze smiled and said: Brother Cheng’s clothing is very different from that of my Six Dynasties. I wonder which tribe comes from?

Cheng Zongyang looked at his shirt and said with a tough bullet: Armani.

Wenze frowned and thought, Armani?Could it be the tribe south of Panjiang?

Cheng Zongyang had a sudden inspiration, pulled open his backpack and took out his wallet. This was the fur we sold.

Wen Ze suddenly had a glimmer of eyes and said in a deep voice: Can you lend me a look at Brother Cheng’s goods?

Cheng Zongyang didn’t expect that his reaction was so strong. Wasn’t it just a wallet?It's still empty, and I don't even have a penny to pretend - he can't use Ah even if he pretends.

Cheng Zongyang handed over the wallet, but Wen Ze ignored it. Instead, he picked up his backpack, learned his movements, carefully pulled the zipper apart, closed it, and then pulled it away again.

He repeatedly opened and closed the zipper, his eyes getting hotter.

zipper!Cheng Zongyang understood that it was not the wallet that attracted Wen Ze's attention, but the metal zipper on the backpack!

In Cheng Zongyang's world, it took less than a century for humans to use zippers on a large scale. This object that modern people have become accustomed to has changed human life because of its convenience and practicality. Together with the application of atomic energy, it is called the ten most important inventions of the last century.

Looking at Wen Ze's flashing gaze, Cheng Zongyang felt a dreamy feeling.

A civilian officer from an ancient army carefully examined a zipper produced in the 21st century. It felt like seeing Zhang Fei eat McDonald's and Yang Guifei danced with a disgala.

Wonderful thoughts!A clever craft!

Wen Ze exclaimed repeatedly, using copper as the teeth and the chain as the chain. Once the mechanism moves, the chain teeth will be meshed.Open and close freely, seamless!

He raised his eyes and said with conscience: Brother Cheng’s art is so brilliant!

Cheng Zongyang felt ashamed. In his world, the zippers around him could be seen at any time, but he had never looked at them carefully and knew nothing about the structure of the zipper.

Wen Ze could see the key at a glance, and this vision and agility were much better than himself.

Wen Ze carefully examined it for a long time before he reluctantly put down his backpack. He dared to ask Brother Cheng, what is the name of this thing?

Cheng Zongyang scratched his head and zipped it.

How much silver baht is required per foot?

Silver Baht?Cheng Zongyang knew nothing about the currency of this world and hesitated to compare two fingers.

Wen Ze smiled bitterly and said: The monthly salary is only five silver chunks, and one foot requires two silver chunks, which is too expensive.

Cheng Zongyang hurriedly said: That's just a silver baht.

Wen Ze pondered for a moment, since that's the case, can Brother Cheng sell me five thousand zippers, each two feet long.In addition, one thousand three-foot zippers are provided.

Cheng Zongyang knew nothing about the value of Yinzhu. He hesitated for a moment and asked carefully: Brother Wen, how much Yinzhu is needed for a war horse?

Wen Ze smiled and said: Is Brother Cheng also engaged in military and horse business?In the border area, a war horse is only twelve silver zhu. It can be sold inland and can be sold for fifty silver zhu.

Cheng Zongyang calculated quickly, and his heart was beating wildly. Can a twelve-foot zipper be replaced with a war horse?

This business is too profitable, right?Although he didn't know the manufacturing process of zippers, the cost was definitely only one percent of a war horse, at least a hundred times the profit!

A famous saying appeared in Cheng Zongyang's mind: Once there is a suitable profit, capital will become bolder.

If there is 10% profit, it will be guaranteed to be used everywhere; if there is 20% profit, it will become active; if there is 50% profit, it will take risks; for 100% profit, it will dare to trample on all human laws; if there is 300% profit, it will dare to commit any crime, or even risk hanging.

This is a profit of one hundred times, one hundred percent!

Cheng Zongyang looked at the zipper in disbelief. He really didn't expect that he would encounter such a big business opportunity for no reason. But the problem is, let alone whether it is meaningful to make this money, how should he buy raw materials now?

How to manufacture and produce?

Cheng Zongyang said: Why do Brother Wen need so many zippers?

Wen Ze said calmly: Most of the armor used by our army is leather armor, which is very inconvenient to wear. If you add a two-foot-long zipper under your armpit, you don’t need to tie it when you put on the armor.There are also these tents that are difficult to cover when they are storms and are tied tightly with leather strips. If there is a zipper, it will be airtight.Besides, there is an arrow pouch - Wen Ze suddenly paused, stared at Cheng Zongyang's face, and smiled: If Brother Cheng was doing business with people outside the Six Dynasties...

Wen Ze's expression made Cheng Zongyang feel cold behind him, and he said dryly: I am also a member of the Six Dynasties, how could I trade with foreigners? Hahahaha...

Wen Ze smiled and said: I also know that Brother Cheng is not such a person.Just now, Lin Jiao Yuli praised Brother Cheng, who was alone in fighting against the ugly beasts and guarding Miss Yueshuang.If it weren't for being born chivalrous, how could this be done?Thank you, Mr. Wen.

As he said that, he bowed deeply and gave a deep salute.

The misunderstanding was already formed, and Cheng Zongyang was shameless and had no explanation.

He couldn't help but ask: Taiyi Zhenzong is a top Taoist sect. How could he come from all the way to visit the general who was on the expedition?Also, why did this General Wang be called the commander of the army?

Wen Ze smiled and said: Brother Cheng doesn’t know anything.The general was the head of Taiyi Zhenzong before joining the army. Most of our army were disciples of Taiyi's sect. The general was both a commander and a commander in the army, so he was called the commander.

Cheng Zongyang still didn't understand, how could the head of a sect become a general?

Wen Ze showed a look of remembrance, which started fifteen years ago.On that day, the northern Liao Dynasty invaded southern China, and the Han army lost consecutive battles and the world was in a state of great success. Fortunately, a genius who was unparalleled was born. He was invincible in his life and never had any defeat. He was known as King Wumu.Zhen Liao invaded southern China, and King Wu Mu used one man to consolidate his troops to fight in the north, defeated the Northern Territory, and killed the Zhen Liao Danshi in front of the battle, so that the Six Dynasties could be turned into danger.Unfortunately, the Song Lord was confused by the crowd and awarded twelve gold medals in a row, and ordered King Wu Mu to withdraw his troops, which resulted in failure and failed to achieve complete success.

Speaking of this, Wen Ze couldn't help but sigh.

Why does it sound so familiar?Cheng Zongyang licked his dry lips and asked carefully: Is the King Wu Mu you mentioned Yue Fei?

Yue Fei?

Wen Ze was stunned for a moment. King Wu Mu's surname was Yue and his name was Pengju.He was called Wu Mu King.

It seems that the history of this time and space is somewhat different from what I know. It is still Yue Fei, but Peng Ju's name became famous and Wu Mu's posthumous name was named.But the endings of the two are still the same.

Wenze also said: Before the Emperor Wu Mu returned to Song, the Lord of Song envoy was imprisoned under the name of false information. Before the envoy arrived, King Wu Mu suddenly died suddenly.The world was filled with emotions. When the commander of the army, he was the head of Taiyi Zhenzong, and was in charge of King Wu Mu Sushan. He heard the bad news and drove thousands of miles a day and night to Lin'an, Song Jing, and inserted King Wu Mu's sword into the knocking stone in front of the palace, asking for joining the army.The Song Lord had no choice but to send a letter to the Six Dynasties that day, and appointed his master as the general of the Song Dynasty.The emperor immediately issued an order to become the general of the Left Wu Guard.

It turns out that this is how Wang Zhe joined the army.

No wonder he, a Taoist church leader, became a military general in the court.

But these Six Dynasties are really chaotic. How could there be the Lord of Song and the Emperor?

Cheng Zongyang knew that if he really asked, he was afraid that the military would treat him as an idiot, so he had to nod his head with a smile and pretend that he understood everything.

Wen Ze said: After King Wu Mu's death, Zhen Liao invaded the south again.The commander of the army rode alone north, gathered heroes of the Six Dynasties, and fought with the Zhen Liao army in a bitter killing water.The Master was just practicing the Nine Yang Divine Arts at that time and killed more than ten famous generals of Zhenliao with one man's strength.

From then on, our North Martial Army First Corps was the dominant ruler of Mobei, and no one dared to confront him again.

Nine Yang Divine Art, a very familiar technique.Could it be that there are monks from Shaolin Temple in this time and space?

Wen Ze did not care about his expression and said jokingly: The northern border has been set, and the commander of the army sent a letter to the emperor to request his position in the western border. The First Legion of the Left Wu Army moved to the western border, which has been ten years since then.

Cheng Zongyang said: Is the legion staying here fighting against the beast barbarians?

Wen Ze was silent for a moment and slowly said: King Wu Mu once said that the fundamental troubles of the Six Dynasties were not in the north but in the west.Although Zhenliao was strong for a while, it was just a disease of scabies.To the west of the desert, the land is vast and the country is numerous, and there are quite a few that are not as weak as the Six Dynasties.Therefore, the commander of the army was stationed in western Xinjiang.

Wen Ze showed a strange expression as he said.

What did Brother Wen think of?

Wen Ze did not hide it. Over the past ten years, Shi Shuai sent people to inquire from many sources.Although the beast barbarians in the Western Front were brave, they were still inferior to our army.The great powers in the west are nothing more than Persia.But Persia is no less than ten thousand miles away from the Six Dynasties border, and has sent troops westward for many years, and has no time to look east.We have discussed it repeatedly, but I don’t know why the commander said this.

Persia?

Could it be that unlucky Darius?

In the history that Cheng Zongyang remembers, the Persian Empire has always existed as a stepping stone for famous generals to establish achievements. In this era, he could not think of any threat Persia would pose to the East.

Wen Ze said: Brother Cheng is getting better now?

Cheng Zongyang stretched out his limbs, his body fatigue disappeared, and he was refreshed and he was much better.

Wen Ze said: Just now, the Lin Jiao Yuli praised Brother Cheng, who was alone in fighting against the ugly beasts, guarding Miss Yueshuang.Thank you, Mr. Wen.

As he said that, he bowed deeply and gave a deep salute.

No matter how thick-skinned Cheng Zongyang is, he feels embarrassed. In fact, I just happened to meet him.If I really want to fight those half-human and half-beasted guys, I’m afraid they will slap me to death with one palm.

Wen Zezhengrong said: Brother Cheng is not a soldier. He can still stand up in the face of those beast barbarians. If he had not been born chivalrous, how could he have done this feat.

He insisted on saying this, and Cheng Zongyang had to agree.It's not a bad thing to care about him.

Brother Cheng's righteous act is grateful to our army.Shishuai instructed that if Brother Cheng has a good rest, please go to the Shishuai account to express his gratitude to him.

That little beauty has a great face. Even the coach wants to thank her for saving her life.Cheng Zongyang was quite curious about Wang Zhe, the chief lord and general, and was not polite at the moment, so he left the tent with Wen Ze....

Under the night, the legion's tent was like a tiger.As soon as they walked to the tent, four sects of Taiyi Zhenzong came out together.

I don’t know what they talked to Wang Zhe, but Shang Lexuan looked angry. He pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand and waved the other hand and said: The headmaster has been in the army for fifteen years. Every year, he will not refuse to send someone to ask him to go back to Longchi to manage the hilt.I, Taiyi Zhenzong, have no leader, and I ask him to indicate what it is wrong to someone take over!

Zhuo Yunjun showed displeasure and the head teacher refused to indicate it, so there was naturally his reason.Since Junior Brother Lin has not come, why should the Commercial Education Commission be aggressive?

Shang Lexuan shouted: How aggressive I am!You don’t know what Lin Zhilan did in Longchi!If he continues to do anything, what will it mean to put me in the future?

Lin Caiquan was still kind and said: To serve the country and the people is where the righteousness lies.What the head of the teacher is a role model for us.But what Lexuan said makes sense. In recent years, the head of the school has abandoned Longchi and no one has managed the academic affairs, and it has become in chaos.If this continues, it will be very unfavorable to me, Taiyi Zhenzong.

Su Weiyang still said nothing. Under the moonlight, the strange long sword on his shoulder was like a twisting and twisting flying dragon, as if it would fly through the air at any time.

Wen Ze stood aside with his hands down, expressionless on his face, as if he didn't hear their comments.After the four of them walked away, he led Cheng Zongyang into the commander's tent.

It seems that what Wen Ze said was insufficient materials. Even the commander's central army tent did not light candles, but lit a few pine branches to illuminate the tent. The furnishings in the tent were simple, with only one screen and one case. Several futons woven by ancient vines on the ground still did not deviate from the Taoist nature.

A figure stood in front of the wooden screen, examining a huge map on the wall.

His back was not tall, but as soon as Cheng Zongyang stepped into the tent, his mind was attracted.

He couldn't help but slow down, noticing that Wenze had retreated quietly.

Wang Zhe looked at the map, his fingers slowly drifted across it, moving to the lower right corner of the map.

Suddenly, his waist and back thrust, and his back became majestic in an instant, like an unattainable mountain, emitting a formidable momentum, and even the flames of the pine branches were suppressed and dimmed.

Cheng Zongyang's throat was dry, and he felt like he was facing a scorching sun. Although he did not turn around, he could see through his body from the inside out.

The flames of the pine branches jumped slightly, and the light became brighter again.The forcing momentum slowly dissipated, and the back standing in front of the map turned around.

Cheng Zongyang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

To his surprise, this famous leader of Taiyi Zhenzong, the general of the Left Wu Guard, had a much younger face than Lin Caiquan, and the long beard under his jaw was as dark as ink, which seemed no greater than Han Geng.

He carried his hands on his back, and his body was like a shady mountain, as if no wind and rain could be destroyed.

The black eyes looked calm and the divine light was restrained, showing that his age was not as simple as it seemed.

Unlike the Taoist sect that Cheng Zongyang imagined, this general who served as a military post had another temperament.

His body was straight, and his whole body was like an invincible steel knife.

That is the temperament of a soldier. It is a tough temperament that can only be achieved by countless life-and-death battles and baptisms of iron, fire and blood.

You are not a businessman.

Wang Zhe said: Tell me your identity.

Cheng Zongyang swallowed with difficulty.The person in front of me is not Lin Caiquan or Wen Ze. I am afraid that the story he made up will be exposed on the spot without a single sentence.

This is a gamble.If you cannot win Wang Zhe's trust, you may be in danger of your life immediately, but how can you make him believe in yourself?

Cheng Zongyang thought nervously for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth, you would definitely not believe it.

Wang Zhe stood with his hands behind his back and said lightly: Let’s listen.

Cheng Zongyang made a fuss. At that time, I was setting off to a certain place to participate in an interview.Suddenly encountered a thunderstorm on the way...

Cheng Zongyang told Wang Zhe a lot of books about what happened to him, and finally said: When I wake up, I will see the orcs fighting with your cavalry.I don't understand how this happened either, this world is completely different from the world I am in.

After Cheng Zongyang finished speaking, he couldn't help feeling guilty.These words are really terrible, and even the person involved himself thinks it is not true.But Wang Zhe listened quietly, and the expression on his face did not change at all.

You said it was on the 'plane'

Speaking of this strange word, Wang Zhe hesitated for a moment. When he encountered purple lightning, what kind of lightning was it?

Cheng Zongyang recalled and said: It's very dense, like a spider web.It looks very far away, but it looks very close.

While rotating, it keeps glowing...

Wang Zhe heard it very seriously, and Cheng Zongyang suddenly gasped and said in a loss of voice: Is that the gate of time and space?

Duan Qiang once said that there are many gaps in the world they live in, which are connected with other parallel worlds. They are like unknown doors to time and space. When they pass through it, they will reach another time and space.

Wang Zhe said slowly: I don’t know what the gate of time and space is.But the root of life and death on you is the only one I have seen in my life.

The root of life and death?

Cheng Zongyang dared to swear that he had never heard of such a thing.

Wang Zhe raised his finger and a little further away, and a warm feeling suddenly came from Cheng Zongyang's temple to his right.

The energy of heaven and earth flows in a mess. When it comes to life, it will be born, and when it comes to evil, it will be bad.The root of life and death is the superpower that can turn the dead energy into vitality.Have you ever noticed that plants you touch will grow particularly quickly?Are wounds on the body particularly easy to heal?

Cheng Zongyang suddenly remembered the grass in the tent.

In just one hour, the grass with only grass roots left grew to knee-deep. Is it because of the roots of life and death on your body?

But he remembered that he did not have such special ability in his original world.

The flowers and plants you raise even die faster than others.

Could it be that the lightning that hit me during the time travel changed everything?

Cheng Zongyang thought nervously, turning death aura into life means that after contacting death, those death auras will pass through the roots of life and death in his body and transform into the functions required for life?

Cheng Zongyang, who was influenced by modern civilization, instinctively did not believe this myth.

But when he thought of the orc he encountered after traveling through time, he could turn into a lion and release the spell of fire with his bare hands, his confidence was a little shaken.

After all, this is not the world he lived in.

Cheng Zongyang frowned and thought for a while, then asked: What is the use of the root of life and death?

Wang Zhe said frankly: I don’t know.

He looked at Cheng Zongyang with a bright look. I have only seen the word "Root of Life and Death" in the dictionary, and the words are not detailed. However, people with roots of life and death have particularly strong yang energy. Since you have never practiced the magic of gathering and refining true yang, your yang energy is so strong that you can only be the spiritual root of life and death in your body.

It turned out to be guessed.

Cheng Zongyang was disappointed.

Immediately, I remembered that Lin Caiquan showed strange eyes when he met him. The old guy probably saw the yang energy emitted by him. Maybe he even regarded him as a master, no wonder he would say good things for him.

Cheng Zongyang still doesn’t give up. I have both vitality and yang energy. Is it useful to people?If someone is injured or sick, I will pass the vitality of yang energy over, can he recover as before?

Wang Zhedao: From a truth point of view, it is indeed the case, but...

Just what?

Wang Zhe looked at him deeply, do you know how to pass on life to others?

Cheng Zongyang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

Seeing his expression, Wang Zhe couldn't help but sigh secretly.However, he immediately became energetic and finally met someone with a root of life and death. He was always thousands of times better than being helpless and helpless.

Wang Zhe said softly: Since you have no relatives here for no reason, what are your plans for the future?

Cheng Zongyang was stunned and then overjoyed. Do you believe what I said?

Wang Zhe said: I only know that you did not make a falsification when you said this. As for whether what you said is true or false...

As he said that, he shook his head.

In this world, there is a kind of bird that can fly high thousands of miles, and in another world, there may be a kind of bird that can accommodate hundreds of people in its belly.

For Wang Zhe, it doesn’t matter whether there is such a bird in that world, as long as he tells the truth, it is enough.

After the surprise, Cheng Zongyang fell into silence.

What are your plans?He hadn't had time to think about this.

After a long time, Cheng Zongyang said: I want to go back.
