"Your Majesty, I heard from the palace maids that something interesting happened in Chang 'an!"
In the West Court of the Imperial Palace, Li Er came to Empress Zhangsun's place for a meal after the morning court. During the meal, Empress Zhangsun suddenly thought of something and said with a smile.
"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me about it, Guanyin! "
Li Er was thinking about what happened in the morning court. After all, the fleet would set off for the south in two days. According to the statistics of the Ministry of War, as of today, the number of merchant ships participating in the south sea trade had reached 2,300. The scale was really rare in history, so Li Er had to be cautious. Now the Tang Empire was in a critical period of recuperation. There must be no mistakes! Hearing Zhangsun's words, his hand paused for a moment, and then he pretended to be very interested and said with a smile.
Zhangsun got up and served Li Er a bowl of soup, and then said, "I heard that today Li Zexuan's little maid was wandering around the area from An Yi Lane to Yongle Lane with a box that could make sounds by itself, which attracted a lot of people."
"Oh? What box can make sounds by itself? What the hell is Li Zexuan up to? "
Li Er was really interested at this moment, and he asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, I don't know about this, but this child often comes up with all kinds of strange ideas. Once he does something, it will definitely surprise people!"
Zhangsun shook her head and said with a smile.
She had deliberately picked a happy topic to talk about because she saw that Li Er had a lot on his mind. It was to distract Li Er. She didn't care about the deeper meaning of this matter.
"Zhao Song!"
Li Er nodded and called out.
"Your Majesty, I'm here!"
Although Zhao Song was far away, his hearing was better than the young people. He immediately ran over when Li Er called him softly.
"What is Li Zexuan doing recently? Why is there no news about him after he made the compass a few days ago? "
In the harem, Li Er didn't sit upright and look straight as he did in the imperial court. He had already forgotten the Confucian saying of "don't talk when eating and don't talk when sleeping". He asked lightly while eating delicious food.
"Your Majesty, as far as this old servant knows, Li Xiannan suddenly turned back after leaving the workshop three days ago. He hasn't come out for the past three days. His maidservant also followed him in later. These days, the maidservant has been going back and forth between the Li Manor and the workshop. She should be delivering food to Li Xiannan."
Zhao Song cupped his hands and reported. If Li Zexuan were here, he would definitely curse this old eunuch for being a pervert. He actually dared to play surveillance.
But Zhao couldn't be blamed. who asked him to be so interested in Li Zexuan's situation??????????????????????????????? Zhao Song had been by Li Er's side for so long, so of course he knew how to figure out the Emperor's intentions and make preparations in advance.
After hearing this, Li Er felt that something was amiss. In his opinion, Li Zexuan didn't seem like someone who could be idle. There must be something fishy going on!
"Heh! Looks like this kid is up to something big recently! I'm sure that the box that the little maid was carrying today was something that Li Zexuan had been fiddling with these few days. It must be something good! This kid hides every time he makes something good. The horse carriage in his house was like this. If Qingque hadn't found it at his house, who knows how long he would have hidden it! "
Li Er raised his eyebrows and said firmly.
"Your Majesty, why are you so sure?"
Empress Zhangsun elegantly poured a cup of wine for Li Er and asked curiously.
"Ha! Guanyin servant, you don't know this kid! "
Li Er raised his wine cup and took a sip of the palace's wine — — Drunken Immortal.
He continued, "Previously, this kid used less than half a day to draw the blueprints for the curved plough, horse carriage, and compass. Then, he became a shopkeeper who didn't do anything. This time, he actually locked himself in the workshop for three whole days. Moreover, it seems that he might have been personally doing the work for the past three days. Don't you think that's strange? I'm sure that this kid is fiddling with something even better! "
"Your Majesty's words are not without reason. Now that you mention it, I'm a little curious!"
"Haha! That's great. Guanyin servant, come with me to this kid's workshop in the afternoon. We'll catch him off guard! "
.....
"Hehe, Lord Jue, Miss Xiao Xi can receive the signal!"
In the afternoon, Li Zexuan started a new round of testing. However, the person running the errands had changed. It was Pang Feiji, our legendary "Brother Chicken". This guy was really unlucky. When he came to change shifts in the afternoon, he was caught by Li Zexuan to be a strong man. There was no other reason other than that this guy was sturdy. With martial arts, he could run faster and more easily!
As for Xiao Xi, this little girl was addicted to doing experiments. However, she was very stubborn. Li Zexuan was helpless and could only think of a compromise. That was to let a Martial Marquis who came with Pang Feiji drive the horse carriage and send Xiao Xi to a place far away for testing.
"Good! Good! Good! Move one li further away! "
Li Zexuan was so excited that his voice trembled. Currently, the effective communication range of his wireless telegraph had reached ten li. This was really out of his expectations.
At first, he thought that if this thing couldn't reach far, then he could only use a wired telegraph. However, it was a bit troublesome to set up wires. He didn't expect that it would achieve such a good result. It seemed that the spatial spectrum of the ancient times was still clean and there were no disturbances!
"Yes!"
Although Pang Feiji felt bitter in his heart, Brother Chicken couldn't say it out loud. People under the eaves had to lower their heads!
Run! I've been in the army for so many years, I don't believe that I can run away unscathed! I heard that a servant almost got a heatstroke in the morning. Heh, that's because they're too weak!
At this moment, Brother Chicken's heart was filled with a sense of superiority. It was really as if he was flying, as light as a swallow, and as fast as lightning!
… … …
"Young … Young Master! Lady Xiao Xi … Over there … It's ready. You can send the message! "
After a few trips, Brother Chicken couldn't take it anymore. So what if he had martial arts? Running back and forth like this, even a Grandmaster expert would have to kneel down! Furthermore, he was just a small fry who had just entered the Body Tempering Stage. He couldn't take it!
"En, okay. I'll start sending it here. You can go back!"
Li Zexuan said lightly.
"Yes … Yes!"
Brother Chicken put his hands on his waist and replied weakly. Then, he continued on his long journey.
After an hour, Brother Chicken finally ran back.
"Lord Jue … Little … Lady Xiao Xi … Can hear the signal!"
After Brother Chicken finished speaking, he didn't care about being rude. He picked up the teapot on the table and poured it into his mouth. He was really too damn thirsty.
Li Zexuan frowned when he saw this. It seemed like he couldn't keep this teapot anymore.
"Why are you so slow? Go and ask Xiao Xi to walk another two miles away. See if she can still do it? "
After Brother Chicken finished drinking the water, Li Zexuan said.
"Ah? Still running? Lord Jue, this … I can't run anymore? "
Brother Chicken's face was bitter. He was about to cry.
"Why can't you run anymore? You're a soldier with martial arts after all! Don't the soldiers of Wu Hou Government usually train? Why is their physique so weak? "
Li Zexuan frowned and said with dissatisfaction.
Damn, Brother Chicken really wanted to fight it out with Li Zexuan. But at this moment, a voice filled with majesty sounded.
"Heh! This is my army. You brat, you have the ability to tell me what to do? You've grown up! "
Before the person arrived, the voice came first. Li Zexuan knew that something was wrong when he heard the voice. The wolf is here!
With lightning speed, he pulled a piece of cloth and covered the telegraph machine. Then, he took the initiative to greet Li Er and Zhangsun, who were walking toward him. He saluted with his hands folded and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty! Your Majesty! "
