"Winged Knights, return," Guo Ziyi, who was leading the team, shouted.
As the snow fell, the Winged Knights, who were guarding the unofficial trading team of the Tang dynasty, answered in unison, "Yes, sir!"
Four hundred and eighty horses and five hundred men were coming.
Some of them were riding in pairs, with one person hugging the other with their eyes closed.
"What happened to them?" Guo Ziyi's heart skipped a beat.
"They … they fell asleep. They were the scouts in charge of scouting the rear. They ran too far and reported back. Then they fell asleep because they were too sleepy.
We've been doing this all along the way. We're used to hugging each other when we're sleepy.
Don't worry, no one died. "
The Winged Knights reported to Guo Ziyi. They saw the flag and knew that this official was now in charge of the entire Winged Knights.
Guo Ziyi let out a long breath. He thought they were dead, so he brought the bodies back.
"Don't wake them up. Take the team back to Chang 'an," Guo Ziyi shouted again.
The people being hugged opened their eyes and saw many Winged Knights. They closed their eyes again and went back to sleep.
The Winged Knights were carrying kerosene lamps to light up the huge caravan.
There were too many cows and horses. How did they trade?
Guo Ziyi looked at the good horses and the skinny cows. For the first time, he recognized the importance of luxury goods.
Including the kerosene lamp he was carrying. The wind and snow didn't affect the light.
"General Guo, what kind of lamp are you carrying?" Yu Huaide was completely relieved when he saw more Winged Knights.
"Kerosene lamp. A new product from the Li Family Zhuangzi. 100 coins for one."
Guo Ziyi knew that half of the money earned by these people would go to His Majesty, so his attitude was good.
"Yes, it's not expensive. But we're going to buy from Li Dongzhu. It can't be 100 coins for one. Li Dongzhu has to give us a discount."
Yu Huaide didn't care about the price, but he still didn't want to spend so much money.
The other merchants also laughed. They made a lot of money this time.
Along the way, they encountered bandits. The Winged Knights were just too awesome. Their crossbows shot one after another, and their accuracy was excellent.
The key point was that the scouts were spread out in all directions and kept running. In the Tang dynasty, when Chang 'an was in Sichuan, they could scout for 20 li.
After crossing the Shu Lands, they ran for thirty miles, wave after wave.
They finally saw how powerful His Majesty's private army was. It was too stable. Even if they set up camp at night, they would choose a place with a water source.
The Winged Knights dismounted from their horses and ran up the mountain to check on the situation.
In the past, when their caravan hired people, they weren't so professional.
This time, including their own goods, they had exchanged for about 1.5 million taels worth of goods.
Half of it would go to His Majesty, making it a round number of eight hundred thousand.
As for the other 700,000 plus silver coins, if they gave 400,000 silver coins to Li Yi, there would probably be 330,000 to 350,000 silver coins left, which would be theirs.
This was a lot of money. In the past, it would take at least three years to earn this much money.
This year, they made it in one go. After a few months of rest, they would go again next year. It would not be a problem to double it.
The key was that this money was earned safely and there was no danger to their lives.
The officials along the way had been bribed, so no one would investigate.
They were now interested in kerosene lamps. They could afford one hundred silver coins, but they were not willing to pay that money.
If Li Yi sold it, they would directly discuss it with Li Yi. They were all business partners.
"Last year, I offended Li Yi. Li Yi is magnanimous and is waiting to go back. If you want to … go to Nanqu. After all, Heavenly Earth is Li Dongzhu's business."
Yu Huaide sighed. He still didn't know that Li Yi's temper had become worse this year and that he had dealt with a large group of people.
"Quick, go and report to His Majesty and Li Dongzhu." Guo Ziyi didn't care what the merchants thought. He had to fulfill his duty.
Someone in the team ran out and reported, but no one found a car to pick up the twenty brothers.
It was not that there were no cars. No matter how much the caravan could carry, it couldn't carry twenty people.
The Winged Knights understood that it was safest to be in the arms of their brothers.
This batch of Winged Knights was trained by Li Yi. Don't look at how tired they were and how they were being carried by others.
It was to recover quickly. If they encountered an enemy, the twenty of them could completely enter battle mode in a dozen breaths.
"Old man, it's snowing. Do you want to rest? This game is too stalemate. "
Li Yi had already exceeded his standard. Restricted by the rules, he felt that he was going to lose. It was different from his Go days.
"Do you see the girl I brought? She's about the same age as you, two years younger than you. "Li Dan's mind was not on Go.
"Fifteen is too young, this …" Li Yi glanced over.
He didn't see the girl clearly. The steam from the hot spring was too strong. The snow disappeared as soon as it fell.
"You're seventeen. After the new year, you'll be eighteen. You haven't chosen a name yet, right?" Li Dan said.
The royal family was so old now. It was normal to have two children.
Li Longji and Empress Wang were in their thirties and had just had a child.
It was the medicine given by the youth in front of him that worked. Otherwise, how could the empress face the world if she was childless at thirty?
Did he give up the position wrongly? Did that child Cheng Qi make the Crown Prince wrongly? Did San Lang wrongly obtain the position?
"Old man, are you sure? Do you know who I am? Have you asked others about this? "Li Yi didn't refuse or accept.
"I heard that you wrote a song for Princess Yuzhen and Princess Jinxian? I have a flower, planted in my heart, budding and waiting to bloom … "
Li Dan sang as he spoke. His voice was low.
How low? Li Yi followed the sound in his heart and found that he couldn't sing anymore. He reached the E of the piano.
Would he be able to reach this pitch? Yes, but it sounded like a mosquito. It felt like he was going to die.
But when Li Dan sang, he could actually stretch it. In other words, Li Dan could sing even lower.
Outside the pavilion, the farewell by the ancient road was replaced by the sorrow of the Japanese. That bass was just like that.
Many music students were able to relax and explore the music together. However, when she sang, there was resonance in her voice.
Li Yi was jealous when he heard Li Dan sing so low.
"Old man, I have a song. I think it will be very good if you sing it. It's called Edelweiss. I play it with a guitar. This is the most suitable. Otherwise, it would have to be … a cello."
Li Yi thought of a baritone song.
Li Dan: "…"
I'm talking to you about girls. Why are you talking to me about Edelweiss?
"Li Yi, let me ask you. Do you think the man or the woman is superior?"
The girl couldn't help but ask, but her voice seemed to have been deliberately adjusted.
Li Yi sighed. "When you ask this question, you have already acknowledged that the man is superior.
Do you know ants and bees? Just like the Tang dynasty, everyone has a division of labor. This is the social system. "
"How do ants and bees work?" The girl followed up and asked about the two types of insects.
"These ants are divided into queen ants, male ants, worker ants, and soldier ants. The queen ant is in charge …"
Li Yi patiently talked about the social structure of ants.
He realized that people nowadays didn't know enough about ants and bees.
People nowadays liked to use the word "ants" to express conformity. It had both positive and negative meanings.
In addition, it was to say that ants were weak, to compare oneself to ants, to compare others to ants, to be modest and to mock people.
It seemed that he could write it in the newspaper and popularize it to the people, including their living habits.
An ant could be printed in two newspapers. Bees, locusts, fish, snails, and so on.
