"Giddy up, giddy up, urgent report, make way." 1 am, Chou Chu.
A group of fast horses rushed into Chang 'an city, heading straight for Xingqing Palace.
There were people loitering on the streets, keeping to the side. Knowing that there was a war recently, urgent reports came in frequently. No one wanted to be killed, let alone delay the military situation.
It was stuffy at night and they couldn't sleep, so they came out to shop.
Especially young men and women who were in love. They ate together at night and walked around, not feeling tired at all.
The main reason was safety. There were streetlights and bus stops. Only when it was too late did they send the other party to the bus. Some even took the other party home first.
"It's a good thing, right?" A couple held hands. The woman watched the cavalry run away and said softly.
"I'm a good man from the Tang dynasty. I'll send you back. Tomorrow I'll work hard and help the soldiers there." The man wanted to hold her hand for a while more, but he held back.
"You work in the front? Aren't you from the Workers' Alliance? You have good skills. The copper hairpin you made for me is beautiful. "
The woman shook her head as she spoke. The tassel hairpin on her head reflected the light.
"I accepted a mission today to make … I can't say. I'll only be allowed out once every half a month."
The man was about to say that his mission was to make a new gun barrel, but he suddenly stopped.
"Half a month is good. There's a funny couplet in the newspaper. The moon in the sky is full, and the moon in the human world is half a month.
We'll be together when the moon is full, and we'll be together when the moon is half a month. You work hard, and I'll make clothes.
Your Workers' Alliance has a mission to help the soldiers. I wonder if my Yi Alliance has one. "
The woman didn't complain. She looked at her future man and felt proud. The Workers' Alliance had chosen him to make something special, which meant that he had good skills.
A public carriage ran over. The two looked at each other and ran forward hand in hand. There was a stop in front.
"Stop running. I'll stop now. I won't take your money," the driver shouted.
The two stopped. The carriage stopped and the two got on.
"Uncle, why don't you take money?" The man was happy.
"No one's watching me. What's the use of taking money? I'll leave some money for you two to live. Get married soon and have a bunch of children. "
The driver continued forward.
"How do you know we're not married?" The man looked at the woman and felt that the driver was very smart.
"How can a wedding be so casual? What time is it now? Back then, your aunt and I … "The driver began to talk about the past.
The woman nestled in the man's arms with a blissful expression.
"Uncle, it's more difficult for me. Her father is a sixth rank official. I don't have any relatives." The man suddenly felt vexed.
"Go look for Li Dongzhu. Is a sixth rank official? Don't look for Li Dongzhu, look for Second Steward Xun Xin. I think the two of you are not bad. "
The coachman suggested that a Rank-6 was not qualified to attend court.
"A sixth-grade official is not a small matter, uncle." The man wanted to tell the truth.
"My second son is a fifth-rank official. There is no shortage of officials in Chang 'an." The coachman turned his head and looked at the man.
The man: "…"
The car didn't stop at any of the four stops. The two of them got off and walked to their destination.
"Go home. I'll watch you go back," the man said to the woman.
The woman turned around and wrapped her arms around the man's neck, her mouth moving forward.
"Uh-huh! Why is the mosquito so big? "A voice sounded.
The two of them were so scared that they quickly separated. The woman stomped her feet angrily while the man stood there awkwardly.
"Why isn't my daughter back yet? Don't tell me she's been kidnapped. Humph! If you want to marry my daughter, don't even think about it if you don't have a betrothal gift of at least ten coins. "
The voice sounded again. It seemed to be talking to itself.
The woman smiled and waved her hand, signaling the man to leave quickly.
The man ran away happily. It's only ten coins. It's ten thousand coins. I have it now.
The woman walked over and looked at her father sitting at the door. "Father!"
"What? You don't even have ten coins? Then I'll sell you cheaply. "The man sitting there lowered the price again.
"How can you sell your daughter? Father, don't you want to sleep? "The woman felt that five coins were too much.
"I can't sleep. Today, I gave an order. That person of yours is going to help me build military equipment. He's good at it.
Is this a tassel for you? You don't need to look to know that each tassel has bright and dark patterns.
You only know how to use this to coax my daughter. If you have some skills, you should show off. "
"Father, how do you know?"
"How can I not know? I have to know who cheated my daughter away. Go in. Your Yi Alliance also has work to do. Sew ammunition satchels.
They have to be sturdy. Every small pocket must be the same. They can hold the bullets tightly and take them out easily. "
"Father, Ah Lin is making guns?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Hmph, you ran away without saying goodbye. If you don't give me a hundred coins, I won't marry my daughter."
"You were talking about five coins just now."
"It's a rise. It's a temporary rise."
"The uncle who came back to drive the cart didn't ask for money. Give him an idea. Go to the Li Family Zhuangzi to ask for help."
"As long as you treat my daughter well, five hundred coins is fine."
"Hehehe, Father, you are so afraid of Li Dongzhu!"
"There's no need for Li Dongzhu. You are good at making clothes. You can cut them without drawing lines. That kid has a plan in his heart. He can make whatever he wants.
You two still don't know who you are working for? You are in the eyes of the nobles and are being singled out.
Maybe you two will eat together. You are only allowed to come out once every half a month. Usually, you two will meet for meals. "
"I only saw Ah Lin when he was working. That's why … Father, I am going in." The girl said as she ran into the house.
The girl's father smiled and said to himself, "King Song knows about the two of you. He even said that he wanted to matchmake you two. A hundred coins is fine. That kid's money is for the two of you to use. I have saved some money for your brother."
He was actually very satisfied with this son-in-law. The tassels were made of copper, not gold, silver, lead, or tin.
The copper was hard, and every tassel had fine bright and dark lines. When the light reflected off it, the surrounding areas would show the shadow of the lines.
He had such skills at such a young age. He was also honest. He didn't gamble, drink, or look for other women.
He had his eyes on him long ago. Furthermore, he had secretly arranged for his daughter to meet him.
…
Li Longji didn't know what was happening outside. He was woken up by Gao Lishi.
He was sleeping in Wu Jieyu's palace. Wu Jieyu was about to give birth. As her father and husband, he had to accompany her.
If she was about to give birth, he would be there to take care of her.
Wu Jieyu was indeed beautiful and obedient. No matter how protective Li Yi was of the empress, Li Longji felt that he should interfere when another woman was about to give birth.
Gao Lishi explained the situation outside the Qiangong Step Bed. This bed was the one that Zhangsun Xin had made.
He told Li Longji that the horses from Hexi had arrived. However, Zhang Xiaosong and ten thousand elite cavalrymen had also come.
Zhang Xiaosong had taken the items from the Winged Knights' four ships and left with Longyou's hot air balloon team.
The situation was different. The difference was huge.
"Send the news to Brother Yi now. Hurry." Li Longji also knew that Zhang Xiaosong was going to cause trouble.
After Gao Lishi left, Li Longji asked Wu Jieyu, who had opened her eyes and heard the matter, "What do you think?"
