No matter how much Wang Juan complained about the number of special forces that Zhang Xiaobao had prepared for her, or whether she pretended to be dissatisfied, the seven brigades of special forces below could not be thrown away.
Seven brigades, eighty people in each, and eight small teams. It just so happened that the members of the No.0 Protection Team formed a team with nine people each. Looking at the way they sat on the horses without using stirrups, looking at their eyes and the slight movements of their bodies, Wang Juan could understand the strength of this team.
The invention of stirrups was epoch-making. However, without stirrups, as long as the person was skilled enough, he or she could do more things on the horses.
"Hide." Wang Juan puffed up her chest and gave the order to the special forces. The flag on the city wall that was specially used to give orders to the special forces waved back and forth a few times. 560 people almost instantly slipped off their horses. Yes, they slipped off their horses. They did not move as fast as normal people. It was as if they were thieves.
Then, they quickly squeezed into the crowd. In the beginning, they could still see them weaving in and out of the dazed crowd. After a while, the people who were staring suddenly realized that the target was gone.
"Eh? Where did the person I was staring at go? He ran so fast. " A person on the side of the road was puzzled. Just now, his eyes were locked on a person, wanting to see what the other party was going to do. In the end, that person seemed to have stopped in an invisible place, blocked by something. After waiting for a while, there was still no movement. That thing was a cart with cooked food. The cart moved, but the person was gone.
This person was puzzled and asked the person who had squeezed to the side to give out food.
The person who delivered the food, Weiwei, lowered her head. "He just took off his coat and took the food from the car. He avoided most of the people's line of sight and used the car to block and walked a few steps away. He adjusted his distance away from the normal line of sight and changed his direction."
"Eh? How did you know? Give me one of Jiao's pig feet. Ghost, when did you come to my side? " Now, when the person who spoke turned around to take the food, he suddenly recognized the person who delivered the food. It was the person he was staring at just now.
"Why are you staring at me? And your hand is still on your waist. Do you want to harm someone? "The man raised his head and stared at him with the gaze of a person delivering gifts.
"You can change your eyes too? "I'm just curious. I'm the Secretary of State of Chang 'an County, and I always have to keep my accounts. I always keep my hands there because I'm afraid that I'll lose them in the crowd. I don't mean any harm. Aren't the special forces very good on the battlefield? Why did it change? "
This person seemed to know about the existence of the special forces. Afraid of being misunderstood, he quickly explained.
The man from the special forces nodded and handed over a pig's claw. He said, "You don't have to worry about that. Our training is different."
Wang Juan, who was on the hot air balloon, was satisfied. 560 people were hidden just like that. From the looks of it, Zhang Xiaobao had trained according to the methods of special agents. At the very least, it would be troublesome for her to find them, and she would never be able to lock onto them.
"Send a telegram to Zhang Jiedushi and ask him if he can find everyone." Wang Juan thought of what happened before she came to Tang. When Zhang Xiaobao talked to her, he was very sure that he wanted to run away. She didn't believe that she couldn't catch him even if he left at the last moment.
Soon, the telegram came back with a message in the semaphore. "If you couldn't find me, you would have been caught. During the last period of time outside, there were many pairs of eyes and many surveillance cameras, but you were looking for me in the crowd over and over again."
"Humph, bragging. I don't believe it. Pass down my order. The cavalry of the eight battalions will patrol around Chang 'an City." Wang Juan curled her lips and passed down another order.
The cavalry of the eight battalions quickly spread out and began to patrol around Chang 'an City.
At this time, the people watching were numb, especially the people of the imperial clan. When they saw the 8,000 cavalry, their thoughts of making trouble disappeared in an instant.
Unless it was a special period, who dared to transfer 8,000 private soldiers to Chang 'an City? It was an army of eight thousand strong men and horses, equipped with repeating rifles and special bayonets, not eight hundred unarmed laborers.
Others might not understand so deeply, but the people of the imperial clan knew. They knew what kind of fighting power the 8,000 cavalry trained by Zhang Xiaobao had in Wang Juan's hands.
Back then, when he went to command the troops in a hurry, he was able to defeat Tubo. How could those soldiers be compared to the eight battalions now? Taking advantage of this opportunity, it wouldn't be a problem for the two of them to usurp the throne. There were still 1,000 ships docked on the river. Who would believe that there weren't cannons there?
Just when the people of the imperial clan had this thought and didn't have time to think about how to deal with it, a cloud drifted in with the wind from the horizon.
The dark clouds were so dark that they couldn't see the end of it.
Wang Juan was also stunned. Weiwei opened her mouth and looked at the approaching dark clouds in the sky. She ordered her subordinates to send a telegram. "How many hot air balloons did you make?"
The reply was, "6,000. I made them in a hurry. It's a little too few."
"Come over here. It's tiring to send messages." Another telegram was sent.
Zhang Xiaobao's hot air balloon floated over at the fastest speed and shouted at the top of his voice, "What's the matter?"
"Lower your voice. I can hear you. You made 6,000 hot air balloons. Isn't it a waste? You can use other things, but you made so many hot air balloons. Where are you going to throw them? "Wang Juan's lips moved.
Zhang Xiaobao quickly replied, "It's not a waste. In order to make you happy, I won't waste any money. Besides … Besides, I have other plans."
"So it's not all for me? You continue to count tonight … I won't let you count tonight. See how I'll deal with you tonight. When it's over, go and wash up. " After Wang Juan finished speaking, she bit her lip and began to wait for the hot air balloons to arrive. Her face was as pink as the morning glow.
"Understood. I'll wash up. What about you?" Zhang Xiaobao was happy. This day had finally come.
"I'll prepare a pot and steam you. Stay away. Don't give orders in front of me." Wang Juan glanced at Zhang Xiaobao. She didn't dare to look at Zhang Xiaobao and turned her head to look at the hot air balloons.
Xiaobei blinked his big eyes and looked confused. He said to Xiaoyuan, "Brother and Sister seem to want to play by themselves tonight. They won't tell us stories. I think that's the case. What should we do?"
"This is called Guan Guan Ju Jiu, in the State of the River. A fair and gentle lady, a gentleman's mate. Later on, a fair and gentle lady, where bells and drums play. When we grow up, it'll be the same. "
Xiaoyuan was indeed a "cultured" person. He knew a lot and recited a line of the Book of Songs for Xiaobei.
Xiaobei turned his head and looked at Xiaoyuan. "Who's like you? Unless you can do what my brother did with your own abilities, I'll want it too. "
"What do you want?" Xiaoyuan asked a little diffidently.
"I want what my brother gave to my sister. A bay of lakes on both sides of the tide, three mountains around the Sishui River, five towers with six armies gathered, seven teams of elites with eight banners, nine days sheltered from the sun, a hundred miles of carriages and livestock, ten thousand acres of fragrant lotus fields, a hundred boxes of pearls on a sliding plate, nine feet of coral branches spread out, 80 years of ironwood flowers blooming, seven feet of silver built into a boudoir, six circles of golden silk around the city, five forests of agarwood, three crystal houses with two layers of eaves, deep love and unchanging heart."
Xiaobei had a hard time carrying other things, but this was the first thing he could do.
Xiaoyuan's forehead, which didn't sweat much, was now shining with Weiwei. He rubbed his forehead with the back of his hand. "I can do the last one. The first part is all money. Some can't be bought with money. I'll tell my brother and let him get it."
"Who did my brother tell? Now the hot air balloon flying here is ready to cover the sky of Chang 'an. From now on, there will be no more extravagance in the Tang Empire. So you have to work hard and surpass them with your own abilities. "
Xiaobei's eyes were full of little stars. She didn't know anything about love. She only knew that if you played with me, I would play with you. If you were good to me, I would be good to you. But her brother was so good to her sister that he got so many things to play with.
Xiaoyuan opened his mouth and finally said helplessly, "Forget it, I can't get it. I've decided to count the moon for the rest of my life."
The two children didn't care too much, but the other adults' hearts were fluctuating.
"People say that a promise is worth a thousand kilograms, but Zhang Xiaobao's words are worth more than a thousand kilograms of gold. After this, no one can compete with him. Alas, it's hard for other men who are going to get married recently."
Li Xun's father, Li Chengyi, also came to the capital to watch the fun. After all, his son had been helped a lot by the Zhang Family and the Wang Family. It would be unreasonable if he didn't come to support the scene. Seeing this scene, he sighed with emotion.
He still didn't know that if it weren't for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, he would have died. He could live until now because of the two of them.
Prince Ning, Li Xian, was right next to Li Chengyi. His son, Li Yu, had also been helped by Zhang Xiaobao many times. When he heard the voice, he nodded and said, "Yes, Xun 'er is not getting married. I guess he wants to find someone similar to Cuckoo. Unfortunately, there is only one Cuckoo. It's time to talk about him."
Li Xun was actually his son, who was adopted by Li Chengyi. Although he couldn't say it openly, he also missed him.
While everyone was in a daze or whispering, 6,000 hot air balloons floated over. Without Wang Juan's command, they automatically pulled into rows and stopped in the sky above Chang 'an. Then, they ejected ropes from each other.
When the ropes were connected to each hot air balloon, they began to use the ropes to carry the wide cloth over. Strips of cloth replaced the ropes. The moment the 6,000 hot air balloons were connected, the whole of Chang 'an lost its color. The sun was blocked, letting the people below feel the shade.
"This is the Nine Heavens Shade the Sun for Ten Days, Cover the Nine Heavens Sun, Cover the Nine Heavens Sun, Moon and Stars, Rest for Ten Dynasties? No, if he covers the sun for ten days, won't it be chaotic? Lishi, tell Zhang Xiaobao that he has enough face. He can't go too far. Just covering the sun for one day will be enough. "
Li Longji looked at the dark sky and said in fear.
Gao Lishi was also scared. His adopted son really dared to do this. If someone played a trick and shot the fire arrows up, wouldn't it burn up all of them? The whole of Chang 'an would be in a sea of fire.
Thinking about this, Gao Lishi immediately sent a telegram to Zhang Xiaobao, telling him to restrain himself.
Not long after, Zhang Xiaobao replied, saying that he would go to the palace early the next morning to explain. This action had other uses, so it was guaranteed that nothing would go wrong.
Li Longji thought about it for a while and finally chose to believe Zhang Xiaobao. But if he didn't make it clear tomorrow morning and convince everyone, he would have to withdraw immediately. Today, the 10,000 riders would have to work a little harder.
When they suddenly realized that the sky was dark, the children in Chang 'an acted as if they had seen something fun. They laughed and ran around, looking very excited.
The adults were speechless. After shaking their heads and sighing, they looked for a carriage that delivered food and wine to eat and drink. This was a gift from the Zhang family. They ate for ten days straight. They couldn't imagine how much the Zhang family had spent on this.
Wang Juan also arranged for the soldiers of the battalion to maintain law and order outside. The special forces were scattered to guard key places to prevent anyone from causing trouble.
After everything was arranged and people sat next to all the carriages, eating, drinking, and chatting, the sun had already passed. Zhang Xiaobao was nowhere to be seen, and no one knew what he was busy with.
The people of the Wang family were busy putting the things that had been delivered into the warehouse one by one. Those that they couldn't put away were distributed to other places. They didn't have time to count them, nor did they count them like other families.
Excited, excited, and shy, Wang Juan felt both physically and mentally exhausted and went to rest.
At night, when the lanterns were lit, Wang Juan, who had changed her clothes, entered the crystal house. She spread the bedding, lit the candles, and prepared the food and wine, waiting for Zhang Xiaobao to come in.
Although it wasn't the time to get married yet, Wang Juan didn't care. Zhang Xiaobao had done everything that should be done. She believed that no woman would continue to be reserved.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Zhang Xiaobao, who had also changed his clothes, came in a little nervous. His small face was pink and tender, and it was unknown whether it was because he was excited or because he was scrubbed in the shower.
"You … you haven't slept yet?" Zhang Xiaobao lowered his head and walked to the side of the table, asking Wang Juan.
"If I sleep, what will you do? Come here, I'll drink two glasses of wine with you. Tell me, how many good girls have you cheated with this trick before? "Wang Juan said with her beautiful eyes full of love.
"No, I used to cheat big officials, banks, and so on. If I want to cheat, you are the first one." Zhang Xiaobao took two deep breaths, gave himself courage, and then dared to sit opposite Wang Juan.
Wang Juan picked up the wine bottle, poured the wine inside into two glasses, and pushed one glass in front of Zhang Xiaobao, and said softly: "Tonight, I am your man. Do you have anything to say?"
"Yes, tonight I am your man. Do you have anything to say?" Zhang Xiaobao nervously repeated.
"Pfft," Wang Juan laughed, "Zhang Xiaobao, with your current performance, you think you can cheat people? Won't the people you cheated die in anger? "
"Yes, die in anger. Cheers." Zhang Xiaobao's hand that was holding the glass was pale. Fortunately, the crystal glass was strong enough, otherwise it would have been crushed by him.
"Cheers, how do you drink? Give me your arm."
"What for?"
"Let's drink cross-cupped wine."
"Okay, let's drink." Zhang Xiaobao stretched out his arm, and the two of them drank in one gulp.
Wang Juan poured another cup and continued to drink. She downed three cups in a row and did not touch the dishes at all. Wang Juan, whose cheeks were rosy, carefully walked to the bed. She turned over and did not make a sound.
Zhang Xiaobao quivered, and then quickly followed.
