"Yao 'er, there. Send this letter to my father with a pigeon immediately!"
Azure Dragon Lane, Wang Family Residence.
Wang Renbiao stuffed a slip of paper into a small bamboo tube, then handed it to Leng Yuyao, and solemnly instructed.
"Yes, Young Master!"
Leng Yuyao took it with both hands. Seeing that Wang Renbiao had no other orders, she took the letter and left.
Around 3000 BC, the ancient Egyptians started using pigeons to send letters. China was also an ancient country that raised pigeons. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, pigeons were used to send letters in places like Guangzhou in the south.
Although pigeons were many times faster than relay stations, it was not something that ordinary people could afford.
Pigeons were sensitive to the Earth's magnetic field, and they were especially homesick. This was their innate advantage. But to become a carrier pigeon, the main thing was training. The main purpose of raising carrier pigeons was to fly, compete, and use them. In order to obtain an ideal carrier pigeon, other than careful breeding and scientific breeding, the most important thing was training.
The training of a carrier pigeon was very complicated. It had to be trained from a young pigeon, from simple to complicated, from near to far, from day to night, and from basic training to professional training. Therefore, an ideal carrier pigeon was very expensive to train. Even if it was a rich family, they would only use carrier pigeons for urgent letters. This was because carrier pigeons could also encounter accidents on the road!
Huff ~! Let's hope that my father can react in time! Now that the cooperation between the Wang and Li Families is about to start, we can't let anything go wrong at this crucial time!
After seeing Leng Yuyao off, Wang Renbiao looked out the door with his hands behind his back and muttered to himself.
.....
At the same time, more than half of the guards in the capital office followed Dugu Xin and the Imperial Army out of the city. To a certain extent, this operation of the capital office not only had a certain degree of risk, but it also had a hint of unusual meaning.
Ever since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court and the martial arts world had almost never had a direct confrontation. On one hand, the martial arts sects were very weak at this time. As long as no one was stupid enough to deliberately cause trouble, the imperial court would not take those sects seriously.
Of course, the absolute disparity in strength also made the sects in the Jianghu abide by the rules and regulations in recent years. No one dared to go against the imperial court, much less assassinate an important official of the imperial court.
It had to be said that the black-clothed man who tried to assassinate Li Zexuan had taken the lead this time. Moreover, he was the one who did not please either the martial arts world or the imperial court.
Even though the imperial court was not afraid of these martial artists, the regular yamen runners of the imperial government were. That was why Magistrate Hua had invited Dugu Xin to lead the imperial army to help.
In any case, Li Er had said that Dugu Xin would help him. It would be a waste not to use such a powerful helper!
Once Dugu Xin made his move, Li Er would naturally receive the news.
After all, Li Er had absolute control over all the armies of the Great Tang. Any movement of the Imperial Army had to be approved by him!
"Hmph! Seven Cultivators of True Virtue ~? Snake Spirit Mountain? How dare you! "
Li Er leaned over the imperial table and supported his chin with his hand as he said angrily.
In front of him was the secret memorial written by Hua Wenjie.
"I don't care who the sect leader of the Seven Cultivators of Virtue is. If you don't give me an explanation for challenging the authority of the imperial court, I will annihilate your sect!"
Li Er thought coldly as he closed the secret memorial.
.....
"Eh? What is this grey thing ~? You guys are actually using it to build walls? "
On Cloud Mountain, Li Tai had just ordered his team to transport back a batch of wood. However, he saw that the usual yellow glutinous rice mortar had disappeared and was replaced by a gray paste that he had never seen before. Furthermore, the workers were still using it to build walls. He could not help but mutter to himself in confusion.
"This is the latest cement developed by the workshop. It's specifically used to replace glutinous rice mortar! It's said that once this thing solidifies, it's even more durable than glutinous rice mortar! Furthermore, this thing can be brushed on the surface of walls and roads to form a flat and hard outer layer! "
Yan Shaoning, who was also observing the cement mortar, walked over and said.
"Is it really that magical? But I think this thing is just a pile of gray mud. It doesn't seem as amazing as you said, Shaoning ~! "
Li Tai's eyes widened as he said in disbelief.
"Oh … I also heard about this. As for whether it's really that magical, we'll know tomorrow!"
Yan Shaoning frowned and said.
In fact, he was also skeptical about this.
"Heh! Then let's wait and see tomorrow! "
Li Tai stopped and looked for a while, then shook his head and said.
.....
The next day.
Li Zexuan also woke up early. He had to go to Cloud Mountain to see the actual effect and reaction of the cement.
As for Li Tai, that follower, he had not come over for a few days. Every day, he went to Cloud Mountain by himself.
The main reason was that Li Zexuan rarely went to the construction site after he started at Cloud Mountain and assigned all the tasks. Li Tai could only curse him in his heart for his lazy nature.
Following the mountain path to the peak of Cloud Mountain, he saw a few cement walls that were as tall as two people standing not far from the mountain gate. The surrounding ground was also gray cement. Now, there was a circle of people surrounding the place.
Li Zexuan smiled and walked over.
"Heh! This road is hard and flat. Even if it's raining, it won't be affected at all! I didn't expect this ~! This cement is actually so magical! "
An old craftsman touched the road with his hand and exclaimed emotionally.
"Damn ~! Little Xuan may not be good at other things, but he's still reliable when it comes to researching new things ~! Shaoning, this cement is really better than glutinous rice mortar ~! Haha ~! This cement road is not bad ~! It's even smoother than the limestone road! No, no ~! This prince's palace also needs to use cement to level the road in the future ~! "
Li Tai touched here and there, then he jumped up and patted Yan Shaoning's shoulder as he laughed heartily.
As for why he jumped up, cough cough, of course, it was because of his height. This little fatty only ate and did not exercise since he was young. His horizontal development was too great, and his vertical development was basically not much.
Li Zexuan had just walked to the periphery of the crowd when he heard the little fatty's words. His old face could not help but darken. He quickly walked up to Li Tai and slapped him on the back of his head.
"What do you mean by I can't do anything ~? Qingque, tell your master, which part of me can't do ~? "
As a man, the taboo thing was for others to say that he couldn't do anything. This already involved a man's dignity. Li Zexuan was not willing to let this little fatty off easily.
