That night, Zhang Xiaobao had a good sleep. He had not done any strenuous exercise for a long time. After he was exhausted, he slept very soundly. When he woke up in the morning, there were still a few small places on his body that were sore and numb.
He slowly got up and did some exercises to ease the discomfort in those places.
Wang Juan came in. Last night, she had stayed with her mother. Today, her mother, mother-in-law, and Xiao Bei were going out. She had arranged for a train to go to Hong Nong first.
"Wash up and eat. After eating, we can go to the station to send them off. Xiao Bei and the rest want to play around, so you indulge them. You even specially accompanied them on a train. In addition to the guards and the people who carry things, there are 1,500 to 600 people.
It's good to save this money and do some public welfare. Moreover, it's wasted. Once they go out, it's enough for a normal county's annual revenue. "
Wang Juan came over to help Zhang Xiaobao rub the uncomfortable places and complained.
"Alright, I don't object to investing money for public welfare. Haven't we been investing all this time? We have money, so why can't we spend it? What kind of logic is this? I let Xiao Bei and the rest spend the money we earned. If this is not allowed, how can we live?
Tell me, have I done anything immoral ever since I brought you here? I don't think so. If people in the past knew about this, they would laugh me to death. I realized that after so many years, the halo on my head is getting brighter and brighter. "
Zhang Xiaobao said to Wang Juan with a cheeky smile, making Wang Juan laugh.
"You, do you dare to say this to the Tibetans, Turks, Japanese, and Xinluo people? What halo? Let me see if there are any wings. "
"Don't. That place on my back hurts. When I attacked yesterday, who was behind me? It's bruised. I guarantee it's bruised. These people don't have any skills at all.
Where are the Tibetans and Turks? There's only the place. Now, they're all Tang people. Don't cause ethnic division. Do the Japanese dare to oppose me? Wife, take the soldiers and let me kill them. As for Xinluo, you can ask Li Mao. He's the one who wants to be county magistrate. Am I good? Without me, would they be able to recognize the evil nature of their officials? "
Zhang Xiaobao didn't care at all. After all, he had already done what he had to do. If there was any infamy, he would bear it himself. Maybe if he attacked a few more places, he would be praised as a general contributor.
As Wang Juan pushed Zhang Xiaobao outside, she said, "Time really flies. We don't have to worry about the small income of the farmers like before. The farmers are all rich now. Look at how many people came to accompany us during the New Year.
Back then, they were half-grown boys. Now, their children have all gone to school. Oh, if it were you, you could just do whatever you want. Every one of them has at least 10,000 strings of cash at home. When you ask them to go out and live on their own, they insist on keeping their indentured servitude contracts and refuse no matter what.
Where we come from, there's no such thing. If we're talking about people with backbone, the Ge family's Zhuangzi is also not bad. After Ge Fugui's days are good, they say that they don't need to pay a ransom and that they can change families or go out to live.
At that time, I thought that some people would come to our family, but in the end, not a single person moved. When the martial arts examination is over and Xiaobei and the others come back, when we go to the original place of the Tujue, we have to go back to Sanshui County to take a look. After a long time, I want to. "
"Okay, I want to too. I even dreamed about it. The old man in the dream scared me so much that I broke out in a sweat. When I dream about him again, I have to find him and have a good talk.
The Ge family's Zhuangzi is their good days. Think about it, if it were you, would you come to our family's Zhuangzi? That's called treachery. They have to consider it. Today, they can betray the Ge family in the future. Tomorrow, they can betray our Zhang Family and Wang Family.
Also, the people of the Li family's Zhuangzi are not bad. They are really lucky. Li Xun wanted to snatch our family's Zhuangzi Between the Clouds and the Water. In the end, he found someone else and got them a Zhuangzi. Now, I don't know how they are doing. "
When this topic was brought up, Zhang Xiaobao was also filled with emotions. Everything seemed to have happened yesterday. In the blink of an eye, a lot of things had changed. Many people who should have died did not die, many people who should have had their positions were no longer there, and there were fewer wars.
Wang Juan sighed and said, "Time really can't stand the passing of time. The Li family's Zhuangzi is not bad. Although Li Xun left, the people of Zhuangzi still recognize Li Xun as their master. They even arranged a marriage with our people of Zhuangzi. Before the New Year, they held a banquet. Didn't you hear the villagers say that it was very extravagant?
Just the hot air balloons alone were rented. The four people of Zhuangzi all went to the banquet. Taking advantage of the half-price discount Between the Clouds and the Water, they booked all the surrounding pavilions. Many people who went there to play cursed.
In the end, they had no choice but to invite the people who went there to play as well. Only then did the matter calm down. That wedding cost at least 8,000 strings of cash, if not 10,000 strings of cash. They are really willing to spend money. "
"How can they not be willing? He is marrying our daughter of Zhuangzi. How can 10,000 strings of cash be considered money? Just you wait. When we get married, look at what I have prepared for you. That's … Ugh! Are you trying to kill me? "
Zhang Xiaobao was proud. He puffed out his chest as Wang Juan pressed his head into the basin of hot water.
Wang Juan chuckled. "Hurry up and wash up. Aren't you good at swimming? Look at how well you have taught your sister. She even dares to jump into the Yellow River and can even fling her clothes in the air. If there is a diving competition, she will be considered an athlete.
Don't brag about your achievements. I know you are capable and rich. You have made Beijing people want to keep a low profile when they want to get married. You only know how to use money to cheat your wife. How can you brush your teeth so cleanly? Brush your teeth for a while more. "
Zhang Xiaobao had just taken out the toothbrush from his mouth, but he had no choice but to put it back. He continued.
After he was done, he let out a sigh of relief. "I can't let you follow me around next time. It's so torturous. On the day of the wedding, I will prepare slightly less. I will only spend a few dozen strings of cash. For ordinary people, a few dozen strings of cash is considered a big banquet."
"You dare? I want the best wedding. It's your fault for making so much money. "Wang Juan objected again.
"Let me give you a plane, okay? The kind with double wings. I don't have the ability to fly at supersonic speeds. It's easy to fly. Install two diesel engines and fly.
When the time comes, we will fly on the Yellow River and not go anywhere else. If something goes wrong, we can jump down. What do you think will happen if we get a few planes on the Yellow River? "
Zhang Xiaobao opened his arms and 'flew' towards the direction of the dining room.
Wang Juan quickened her pace and entered the house first. When Zhang Xiaobao flew in, she said, "With your flying speed and height, a stone can show the effect. It's not important that you can fly. What's important is how much you can carry."
"Who says it's not important? What are we eating this morning? Master Zhang, what did you make? Is this porridge? "Zhang Xiaobao sat at the table and looked at the food in the bowl. He did not recognize what it was.
There was something black in the bowl. It was cooked like paste. This was not to his taste. He liked to drink soy milk, the kind without sugar.
"It's dog food. Zhang Hu found it and asked me to make it. Puppies just came out. Female dogs don't have milk. He waited all night yesterday, but the milk has not been squeezed out. He can't wait, so he asked me to make some porridge first." Master Zhang, who made breakfast, directly told him what was in the bowl.
"Okay, I'll taste it and see if it's suitable for dogs." Zhang Xiaobao said and lowered his head to eat.
Wang Juan stopped him. "Zhang Hu knows whether it's edible or not. If you eat it, what if the puppies don't have enough to eat?"
Wang Juan did not think that Zhang Xiaobao ate dog food. The dogs raised by Zhang Hu were good helpers, just like Zhang Ying's Shui Yun. When they hunted with their masters, the dogs were really risking their lives. Even tigers were afraid of bears, but the dogs would rush up to protect their masters. She was really worried that if they did not make enough food, the puppies would starve.
"I don't have any status in the family. Master Zhang, I eat soy milk and youtiao. Cuckoo eats porridge and steamed buns. What's the filling for the steamed buns today?"
Zhang Xiaobao had to put the food that the puppies ate on another table and ordered something.
"There are a few dandelions growing in the greenhouse of the Sinong Temple. They were sent here and I wrapped them into steamed buns. I don't know if you like it." What Master Zhang meant was that he thought the best today was this. If she was not used to it, there were other options.
Wang Juan was happy when she heard that. It was just the beginning of spring, and the dandelions had not grown yet. It was really good to eat them. She nodded and said, "Just eat this. Don't eat porridge. Change it to tofu pudding with meat sauce."
Master Zhang quickly sent the food over and went back to teach his apprentice how to make breakfast. He told his apprentice what breakfast should be like and what the master usually liked to eat. Although it looked simple, it was very particular.
Zhang Xiaobao picked up the youtiao with chopsticks and pressed it into the soy milk. He took it out and took a sip. He closed his eyes and savored the taste for a moment. He said, "It's good that I can eat something in the morning. I like this. People should be content.
For example, when the oldest plane is built, it doesn't need to fly too fast. It just needs to be able to carry people. Reconnaissance planes are more useful than hot air balloons. If you carry three people, two of them can become airborne soldiers. During a battle, they can be thrown to key positions, such as the enemy's back, and scare them to death. "
Wang Juan did not immediately answer. She ate in small bites. When she ate a steamed bun, she first praised Master Zhang's good cooking skills. Then she said to Zhang Xiaobao, "There are still some small territories in our territory.
"There are still a few small countries in the territory we occupy. Before the war starts, you should deal with them first. I don't want to be stabbed in the back like that guy surnamed Gao. He fought the war smoothly but neglected many things. In the end, he lost. Once he lost, it was all over."
"It's different. We are not like that guy surnamed Gao. He only wants to use force to conquer. I have other means. When the time comes, I will give them an order in advance and ask them to raise Chinese medicinal herbs or more yaks. I will give them money first and then send more food over.
It's easy to fight them, but after the fight, who will live there? If you ask people from Jiangnan to go there, eight out of ten people will die of illness. People in the northeast can't do it either. They can't adapt to the climate.
It's like Tufan. Now it's said to belong to the Tang Empire. But it's still Zuzan Childe who was released to take charge of the affairs there. We have to do it bit by bit and let people adapt to the environment there. Only then can it truly become a place of the Tang Empire. "
Zhang Xiaobao didn't stop eating while talking. After a while, a fried dough stick was in his stomach. This was not a single one, but a double one. He also finished the soy milk. He carried the bowl to the kitchen and said, "Master Zhang, one more bowl. I'm thirsty today."
Master Zhang personally poured the soy milk for him and then turned around to busy himself with his disciple. It was as if he didn't hear what Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan said at all. Because he and his disciple were the inner courtyard of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, they knew the rules. They didn't avoid talking about the master's family.
Wang Juan was still eating in small bites. When she saw Zhang Xiaobao coming back, she suddenly thought of something and said, "Xiao Bao, I just remembered that Zuzan Childe is coming over. He said two months before the New Year, so he should be here soon. He said that Princess Jincheng is homesick and is bringing him back for a visit."
"There's such a thing? Okay, then let's invite them to watch the Military Selections. Don't give him a chance to be arrogant. The weapons used during the Sword Meet of Hua Mountain are much worse compared to now. Princess Jincheng is having a good life now, right? "
Zhang Xiaobao stopped eating and followed Wang Juan's words.
"How can it not be good? You scared them like that. A woman who should have the least status is now in Tufan. Her words are more effective than Zuzan Childe's. This shows that Tufan is not democratic enough. Otherwise, they wouldn't be like this. "
Wang Juan said casually.
Zhang Xiaobao curled his lips and said, "Don't mention democracy. Everything is relative. Democracy is their own business. Speaking of this, I have to say a few words. Don't look at me …"
Speaking up to this point, Zhang Xiaobao's mouth was moving, but his voice was gone. "Even though I was always outside at that time, I didn't look down on the country. That's because I knew that those who looked down on the country should feel lucky that there was a country that they didn't see as good. That's why they had the chance to look down on this country when they were enjoying equality and democracy outside.
The stronger this country that they looked down on was, the more democracy they could enjoy outside, and the more they could look down on it. However, when this country was gone one day, they would have to consider whether they would be looked down on by others when they wanted to look down on them again.
The Jews used to be so powerful and controlled a large group of non-Jews. In the end, they didn't have a country and were killed like animals. Later, they had to find a place to revive their country. That was how they got their status.
That's why I never scold my own country when I'm outside. I can nitpick and oppose some situations, but I'm really worried that she's gone. If that's the case, I'll be a real animal. It won't be as simple as being scolded as an animal by the people living in this country when I scold this country. "
Wang Juan nodded silently and didn't say anything. Eating the buns, she felt that the person she should thank the most was the director.
*****
Not far from Chang 'an, in a place that was only a day's journey, there was also someone who was thanking her country. She was the Princess of Jincheng, Li Nunu.
In October before the New Year, she wanted to come back and take a look, so she made this request to Zuzan Childe.
Zuzan Childe didn't say anything. He immediately organized people and started to prepare all kinds of things. There were gifts, tributes to the Emperor of Tang Empire, and little things to give to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
Then, the group set off slowly. During the New Year of Tang Empire, they were all on the road. Hearing the sound of firecrackers from time to time, Zuzan Childe would always think of that letter, the sound of the firecrackers on Mount Hua.
That letter said, "West meets Brahma, north is full of grass. Yazhou hangs, Penglai immortals. Four barbarians come to court, eight sides celebrate together. I invite you to visit Mount Hua to discuss the sword. "
Then, he came. He was forced to come because his' wife 'wrote a letter to Zhang Xiaobao and the others.
There was also a letter inviting his wife. Oh, that letter had many mistakes. It was written by Zhang Xiaobei.
From then on, Tufan didn't seem to belong to him anymore.
"Husband, look, the grass is green again. There are some places where the snow hasn't melted, but the grass is already growing." The carriage that Princess Jincheng was in also had glass windows. She pulled open the curtains and looked outside happily. She was talking to Zuzan Childe. She changed the way she addressed him because Zuzan Childe was no longer the King of Tufan. He was just a governor of a province.
"That's right, another spring has arrived. This time, I brought you back because I want to stay for a few more days. I heard that Xiao Bao and Cuckoo followed the Emperor to the north of Hebei Province before the New Year. After the Imperial Examinations, I don't know what they are planning to do. Sigh, they finally have some free time."
Zuzan Childe looked at Li Nunu beside him. His heart was filled with emotions. Li Nunu was indeed beautiful and had a good upbringing. But when they were in Tufan, he didn't need to pay too much attention to her. If he doted on her a little, she would be very grateful.
Now that she was in a good mood, he felt more at ease. It wasn't important whether she was a weak woman or not. What was important was her identity. Her status in Great Tang and Great Tang's strength.
In the past, the princesses that were married off were treated like weeds. Now, the pigs and dogs that were given away were treated like treasures. This was because Zhang Xiaobao had said, 'In the Great Tang, let alone a person, even a dog would not be killed by any country.'
Princess Jincheng, Li Nunu, was very clear on how she obtained her status. In the past, when she was in Tufan, her husband was bullied by his other wives. She was always worried that she couldn't coax her husband. When she was bullied, her husband wouldn't even say a word of fairness.
Now, in Tufan, who dared to not look at her face? Even Xiaobei calls me aunt. Can't I control you all? Could it be that I have to call Xiao Bao and Cuckoo over and ask the hundreds of thousands of soldiers stationed nearby to come over?
Just like how I came back this time, I can come back as I wish. I don't care if you all have to wait for the new year or not. If anyone is unconvinced, come forward.
Li Nunu was very grateful to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. Without them, she wouldn't be where she was now.
Of course, Li Nunu also knew what Zu Zan Chi meant. Just like the previous time, he wanted her to help put in a good word for him. Especially, he wanted her to think of a way to meet Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and ask them about their plans.
That's right, he was asking the two of them what the Great Tang would do to Tubo. Would they suddenly kill Zu Zan of Red Virtue and send someone else here?
She also didn't want them to kill her husband. After all, he was her husband. Furthermore, she already had a son who was almost two years old. This time, she brought him back for everyone to take a look.
Princess Jincheng didn't know that from what Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan knew, she didn't have this son. Instead, she had another son who was very controversial.
Hearing Zu Zan Chi's words, Li Nunu thought for a long time before saying, "Husband, you don't have to think too much. Xiao Bao and Cuckoo won't send troops to Tufan again. Furthermore, husband is managing that place well."
When Zu Zan Chi heard his wife's words of assurance, he finally felt a little relieved. He said, "Then I still have to meet Xiao Bao and Cuckoo, as well as Xiaobei and the others. I miss Xiaobei too. What a good child."
When Zu Zan Chi spoke, he was very sincere. He knew that he had to constantly think that he was a family with Great Tang. Otherwise, if he showed even a little bit of dissatisfaction, Zhang Xiaobao would realize that Zhang Xiaobao shouldn't exist in this world. He was clearly a demon.
He still remembered that when the team from the Sword Competition on Mount Hua was blocked by a protruding rock, he rushed over and said 'I'll do it'. Tufan was schemed against time and time again because of him.
However, he still wanted to ask them what they were going to do this year. They couldn't have set their sights on Tufan, right? Tufan had already recognized the status of a local government.
Yes, he wanted to ask the two of them. In Great Tang, Li Longji would support whoever they wanted to attack. Li Longji rarely schemed against such things. Unless he had a good idea, or if some country's envoy angered him.
It was only at this time that he would take the initiative to care about Great Tang's foreign wars. However, even if he went to war, he would still ask for advice from Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. He would send other generals to attack first. If they couldn't win after a long time, that country would have to pray for its own good.
This was because at that time, Li Longji would probably send Wang Juan to battle. If it was just Wang Juan, it would just be a clash of swords. What he feared the most was that Zhang Xiaobao would play tricks behind the scenes. Zhang Xiaobao's methods were almost always to destroy the enemy.
When Zu Zan Chi thought of this, he sighed, "Sigh ~! Madam, to be honest, I am really unwilling to accept this. I lost so vexingly. In a daze, I was schemed against by Zhang Xiaobao. Only then did I know that a knife doesn't have to be used to kill people. "
Princess Jincheng understood Zu Zan Chi very well. However, understanding was one thing. She couldn't agree with him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have her current status. She could only persuade him, "Husband, the lives of the people in Tufan are much better than before. In the past, they would always come over to steal things. When did they not die?
It's because we don't have enough food. Now that our food supply is slightly affected, Xiao Bao and Cuckoo will immediately send a large amount of food over. Not only will we be able to eat delicious rice and noodles, we will also be able to eat seafood by the seaside.
In the past, we could only eat fried and barbecued food. It's because Xiao Bao and Cuckoo didn't say that there wasn't enough pressure and that we couldn't cook rice with water. Last year, they sent something called a pressure cooker. We can steam rice and eat it. I used to eat it when I was in Tang Dynasty.
That pressure cooker has some kind of sealing technology. They weren't worried that we would leak it out. They even sent us a lot of radio stations so that we could send the news over in time. Last year, there was a heavy snowfall. If there wasn't a radio station, how many people would have died?
After we sent out the news, seven days later, the horses that they sent over came. Didn't you understand before? That time, they exhausted more than 3,000 horses. Isn't that good? "
"Good, good. It's indeed better than before." Even though Zu Zan Chi wasn't willing to admit it from his perspective, when he evaluated objectively, he couldn't help but admit that Tang Dynasty did a good job.
When Zhang Xiaobao was scheming against the Tufan Empire, he was sharp. But when he helped them, he was just as swift. More than 3,000 horses died from exhaustion or cold just to deliver the goods. He didn't even say a word. When the person who delivered the goods came over, he asked about how many people died and whether there were any diseases.
"I know that they are good, and I know that they are amazing. Last summer, you said that you wanted to eat drunken crabs. You even specially ordered the Lake Tai Drunken Crabs.
In the end, they immediately picked out the best crabs. While the southeast wind was blowing, they took over 30 hot air balloons and flew to our place. Along the way, they used the water from Lake Tai to raise the crabs. In autumn, which was right before you returned to Tang Dynasty, they sent the crabs over. At that time, the crabs were ready to be eaten. They cooked them in front of us.
When I was the King, I couldn't do this. I know that they didn't just send us crabs. They also wanted to show Tang Dynasty's strength. But I'm afraid that they … "
When Zu Zan said this, he didn't know what to say. If he said that he was afraid of death, he would be too weak. But if he didn't say it clearly, he was worried that he would be killed.
Princess Jincheng quickly persuaded, "No, my husband, we have always been together. There's also our Little Yi Tang Puzan. Even if it was according to the thoughts of the previous Emperor, if my Brother Emperor wanted to kill someone, Xiao Bao and Cuckoo would not agree. Xiao Bao likes children the most."
Zu Zan thought for a while and nodded, "I know. I hope that Little Yi Tang Puzan can be liked by Xiao Bao. Tomorrow, we will arrive at the capital. I heard that the capital is bigger than before."
*****
That night, Princess Jincheng and the others set up camp in the wilderness. They didn't want to trouble other people, so they stayed in tents. They were used to staying in tents.
When Zu Zan was waiting for dinner, he suddenly found something. His subordinates reported that after entering Tang Dynasty, the soldiers in charge of protecting every place should be the soldiers of Shannan East Road.
Hearing this news, Zu Zan was not happy. He thought that the other party was not guarding against him. Instead, he became worried. He thought that the other party was looking for an excuse to get rid of him.
So he quickly went into Princess Jincheng's tent and picked up his son. No matter what, he didn't want to go out. It was too dangerous outside.
Princess Jincheng was also a little nervous. If Zu Zan died, what would she do? No matter what happened in the past, they had been together for so many years. They even had a son. She didn't want her child to lose his father.
Just when the two of them were worried that the child would be curious about everything, the curtain of the tent was lifted. A soldier came in and said in a panic, "There are people coming from the direction of Chang 'an. There are many of them. Listening to the sound of the horses, we can't guess how many people there are."
"What?" Zu Zan was shocked. He ordered the soldier who came in, "Check and report again."
The soldier obeyed and left. Zu Zan lost all his strength and threw his son to the ground. The child started crying.
At this time, Princess Jincheng pulled out her knife and said to Zu Zan, "Husband, don't worry. If they want to deal with you, I will die in front of them."
Zu Zan was really touched. He couldn't pull out his knife, "Let's die together."
At this time, it was suddenly bright outside, and a lot of light shone down from the sky. Needless to say, Zu Zan and Princess Jincheng knew that the light was from the hot air balloon. They heard that the Great Tang had developed a new thing that was very useful and could do anything.
The two of them took a deep breath. Suddenly, a voice came from outside, "Tang Dynasty's Emperor has arrived. Hebei Province's Jiedushi Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have arrived …"
With a 'pa' sound, the two of them dropped their knives and heaved a sigh of relief.
The Emperor of Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had arrived. Naturally, they weren't here to kill anyone. There was no need to alarm the three of them. If anything were to go wrong during the killing, the three of them would be finished. The entire Tang Dynasty would be finished as well.
Li Longji had indeed arrived. When he heard that Zu Zan was coming, he looked for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to discuss whether they should go and take a look.
Zhang Xiaobao thought about it and finally agreed. If he didn't agree, Li Longji wouldn't be able to come. This meant that he wasn't prepared and was in danger.
However, Wang Juan, who was accompanying him, knew very well that Zhang Xiaobao wanted to see a child. A child who was about the same age as Pan 'er. As for danger, what danger could there be? When they arrived, the guards had to be changed to Tang Dynasty's soldiers. They couldn't let Zu Zan's guards stand by the side.
Thus, the three of them came out on horseback. Li Longji didn't have an imperial carriage. That thing was too troublesome and slow.
Most importantly, Li Longji's personality had become very mild. He felt that putting on airs in front of his sister was too hypocritical. What was the point? Back then, his sister had married him for the sake of peace between Tang Dynasty and Tubo. She had suffered a lot in the beginning.
At that time, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan hadn't fully revealed their abilities. If he really wanted to blame someone, he could only blame himself for being useless. He had sent his sister away, regardless of whether she was his biological sister or a distant relative.
Who would dare to propose a marriage alliance with him now? According to Zhang Xiaobao and Cuckoo, if they couldn't deal with him, Tang Dynasty no longer needed to sell women in exchange for peace. Whoever dared to cause trouble would have a taste of guns and cannons.
Thus, Li Longji always felt that he had let down his sister, Princess Jincheng. When he came to welcome them, he just rode a horse and didn't put on any airs.
In the sky, there was also a group of eagles led by Shui Yun. They were responsible for part of the protection mission. Shui Yun's children were already able to fly.
However, 'his' eleven children were still unable to do so. Their bodies were too big, and he was afraid that the children's wings wouldn't be able to handle it. One was probably because of good genes, and the other was because they had sufficient nutrition. With eleven children, even if they wanted to eat grasshoppers in winter, the Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Family would still prepare it for them. That was how arrogant they were. They didn't care about money. They had strength.
Thus, the intelligent Shui Yun decided to wait a while before letting the children learn to fly. She had to inform the Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Family first and have them prepare everything. Otherwise, what would she do if they fell to their deaths?
She had to be good to her own children. There was nothing to be afraid of if they could fly later. She couldn't compare them to other eagles. What was there to compare? Could the children of other eagles sleep in nests made of cotton flowers? Could they eat lamb every day?
In this way, even if Li Longji didn't show off the imperial carriage of an emperor, he was still very awe-inspiring. Just by looking at the eagle in the sky that covered the stars and blocked the moon, ordinary people couldn't enjoy it.
When the sound of horses' hooves surrounded the tent, Zu Zan and his family came out. Under the illumination of the lights in the sky, they saw the flag of the Tibetan Metro Cavalry Battalion, followed by the Imperial Army, followed by the Jinwu Guards, and finally the flag of the rice seedlings, which was the protection team of the rice seedlings.
Li Longji and his family's horses came over. He didn't need others to take care of him. He directly turned over and dismounted from the horse to show his horse skills. Under the accompaniment of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, he came to the front of Zu Zan and his family.
"This slave greets the emperor." Princess Jincheng was so moved that she was about to cry. Her eyes were red. The emperor personally came to greet her. She knew that he was giving her face.
Li Longji nodded to her and took two steps forward to help Zu Zan, who was about to kneel down and kowtow. He didn't let him kneel down and said, "You're finally here. I've been looking forward to it every day. Ever since you said you were coming, I've been counting the days and asked people to report to me several times a day. It's too slow. Why don't you walk faster?
I'm so impatient. "He was very easy-going. Zhang Xiaobao was very nervous. He was really afraid that Zu Zan would suddenly pull out a knife. Wang Juan also prepared the knife in her sleeve. At this time, the use of a gun was not very useful. It was too close to the enemy. It was not as convenient as a knife.
Zu Zazan was stunned for a moment. He had imagined countless possibilities, but he had never imagined that the Emperor of the Great Tang would not ask for him to be excused, nor did he put on airs. Instead, he very naturally supported him and did not let him kneel. Then, he said something that ordinary people would say when their relatives came.
At this time, Li Longji spoke again, "We'll talk later. There's no need to be polite. Carry my nephew over and let me see. Isn't he very 'handsome'? Xiao Bao, Cuckoo, you two also take a look. It's a pity that you were far away when you were born, so you didn't see it.
Xiao Bao, you have to build the railway as soon as possible. When Nu Nu's second child is born, I have to see it personally. Otherwise, I won't be at ease. "
Zu Zazan's tears began to flow. He had never imagined that the Emperor of the Great Tang, Li Longji, would become like this. The words he said were truly heartwarming. The sovereign of a country was speaking to him, the sovereign of a fallen country, in such a manner.
At first glance, he didn't care about him and Nu Nu. But he mentioned his son, which meant that he didn't regard him as an outsider. Otherwise, why did Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan appear in the Tang Empire? The Emperor was so good. He couldn't compare to him.
Zu Zan was very happy today. There was something flying in the sky, and it was so bright. The night was almost the same as the day. There was also a person who smiled and made him feel very comfortable hugging him. Beside them, there were two people who were also smiling. There were so many people around. It was very lively.
"Xiao Bao, help me with this." Li Longji took out a big jelly from his sleeve. It was wrapped in oil paper and handed it to Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao didn't need to look to know that it was definitely something from the Precious Candy House. He cursed in his heart. Li Longji, you are too careless. You even want something that belongs to my younger brother and sister. Do you think it's easy for them to earn some money?
However, his hands didn't stop moving. With a flip of his hand, the knife first came out. Then, he kept it back and replaced it with another small knife wrapped in oil paper. He cut the jelly into small pieces and carried it over with the oil paper.
Zu Zan looked at Zhang Xiaobao's movements. His body couldn't help but tremble. He understood. Just now, Zhang Xiaobao was ready to kill at any time. That knife changed too quickly.
Li Longji didn't care about what other people thought. He used a very small spoon to scoop up a small piece of jelly and fed it to Zu Zan. He said, "My good nephew, try this. This is the jelly from the Precious Candy House. It's very expensive."
Zu Zan didn't know what Precious Candy House was. When he saw food, he opened his mouth and ate it. When his tongue touched the jelly, he narrowed his eyes. The taste was really good. The texture was also not bad. He swallowed it in two mouths and continued to ask for more.
He even said in a vague voice, "Good, good, delicious."
"Of course, how can the things from the Precious Candy House not be delicious? This is something that your sister Xiao Bei and other brothers and sisters eat. Zu Zan, Nuu, you guys try it too. It will be convenient for you to eat it in the future."
Li Longji kissed Yi Tang Puzan and said.
Zu Zan wasn't stupid. He immediately realized that the last sentence was not simple. He really took a small piece and stuffed it into his mouth. He asked, "Your Majesty, is Xiao Bei's Precious Candy House going to open a branch there?"
"It's not just the Precious Candy House. Many businesses have to open there. Xiao Bao said that the railway is too difficult, but the land road also needs to be fixed. At least hundreds of thousands of people need to transport food. One year later, in the northwest, Xiao Bao and Cuckoo will make a move."
Li Longji was still chatting casually. Zu Zan's heart twitched. He said seriously, "Your Majesty, this subject understands. This subject guarantees that the logistics and transportation will be unimpeded. This subject will bring my head to you."
"Don't, it's not a big deal. It's a small matter. When the time comes, I will also go to your place for a stroll. I always wanted to go, but I never had the chance. The main reason is that the people in the court opposed it. Fortunately, Xiao Bao and Cuckoo supported it. When I go, there will be a lot of good things. You should prepare to receive them."
Li Longji was still so peaceful.
