Ang Lee led the officials from the Ministry of Works to inspect the road from Chang 'an City to the Hot Spring Palace in order to find the best road to lay the railway tracks. [Love ↑ Go △ Little ↑ Say △ w]

】
The officials from the Ministry of Works had all seen the railway tracks built by Ang Lee with their own eyes, as well as the vehicles that traveled on the railway tracks. Naturally, they were very clear about the requirements of the railway tracks. They knew how to find the road and how to give suggestions to Ang Lee. At the same time, they could understand what Ang Lee was saying.
However, Li Yu and Li Qiu had never seen the railway tracks with their own eyes, nor did they know what kind of vehicles could travel on the railway tracks. Therefore, the two of them couldn't understand what Ang Lee was saying at all. They could only follow behind him with their eyes wide open.
Li Qiu was better. Since he couldn't understand, he looked around and admired the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Tang dynasty. Li Yu, on the other hand, seemed a little anxious and impatient.
He had just learned that Li Longji wanted him and Ang Lee to broaden their horizons, so he was very happy. He thought that he could learn a lot by following Ang Lee. However, he didn't expect that Ang Lee had been talking to the officials from the Ministry of Works about the railway tracks, the curvature of the road, and how much manpower and earth and stone needed to raise a certain section of the road. These were all very boring and professional topics. Li Yu couldn't understand and didn't know how to ask. He could only look at the road under his feet helplessly and think about other things.
Ang Lee agreed to let the two imperial grandsons follow him and also said that he would answer the questions raised by the two imperial grandsons. However, he never said that he would take the initiative to talk to them. Therefore, Ang Lee didn't break any promise by giving them the cold shoulder at this moment.
Of course, Ang Lee didn't deliberately ignore them. Instead, he had to complete the task given to him by Li Longji as soon as possible, which was to determine the railway line from the north gate of the Daming Palace to the Hot Spring Palace. In addition, he didn't take the initiative to talk to them. He could also take the opportunity to observe them and see what kind of character they had and whether they could take on big responsibilities.
At noon, Duan Xiushi hunted a few wild animals nearby. In addition, the servants of the officials from the Ministry of Works had brought enough food. Everyone found a clean place in a valley and started a fire to cook.
Ang Lee took out the braised chicken leg he had prepared and walked towards Li Yu and Li Qiu.
For the entire morning, Ang Lee was busy discussing the issue of laying the tracks with the officials from the Ministry of Works. Not only did he not take the initiative to speak to Li Yu and Li Qiu, he did not even look at them. Now that it was time for lunch, Ang Lee naturally could not continue to be so cold. Otherwise, not only would the two be dissatisfied, but Li Longji would also be unhappy if he found out.
"I made this braised chicken leg myself. Try it!"
Everyone was of the same age, so Ang Lee didn't even bother to address them by their names. He directly stuffed two braised chicken legs into their hands.
Li Yu and Li Qiu didn't refuse. They directly reached out to take the braised chicken legs Ang Lee gave them and stuffed them into their mouths without any reservation.
"It's delicious. It tastes really good. It's even better than the ones made by the imperial chefs in the palace."
Li Yu directly gave his evaluation. Li Qiu also hurriedly nodded, affirming Li Yu's words.
"How can the braised meat I made not be delicious? Eat more. If you like, I have a lot more in my residence. "
Ang Lee was speaking to the two imperial grandsons in the tone of a friend. This was more cordial and easier to shorten the distance between them.
As expected, after this conversation, Li Yu and Li Qiu's moods improved significantly. A few smiles appeared on their gloomy faces.
"Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon, Silang, I was on His Majesty's orders to inspect the roads and was unable to take good care of the two of you.
Please forgive me, "Ang Lee softly said.
"Assistant Minister Li is too courteous. However, Xiao Wang has been following me all this way, yet he doesn't understand a single thing. This is truly embarrassing! What is a railroad track? And what is the purpose of laying railroad tracks? "
Li Yu was a little more generous and directly asked.
"Haha! The two of you have never seen these things before, so it's normal that you don't understand. There's really no need to be embarrassed. In a few days, I'll take you to personally experience the use of the railroad tracks. You'll naturally understand. In addition, as long as you follow me, you'll be able to see and hear many things in the future. It'll definitely be more interesting than staying in the Baisun Courtyard. "
Ang Lee comforted them and tossed out an enticing future.
"Mm, that's truly wonderful."
Li Yu was very happy and exchanged a glance with Li Qiu. It was clear that the relationship between the two of them wasn't bad. In fact, they seemed to be on very good terms.
Of course, this could also be a disguise. After all, Li Qiu and Li Yu were almost adults. At sixteen or seventeen years old, they were no longer children. It was impossible to rule out the possibility that they were pretending to be on good terms for some purpose.
But no matter how he looked at it, Ang Lee couldn't see that the feelings between the two of them were fake. If they were faking it, it could only mean that their acting skills were too high. Even someone as experienced as Ang Lee, who had lived two lifetimes, couldn't see through it.
In short, Ang Lee was more willing to believe that the feelings between the two of them were sincere, pure, and without any impurities.
Lunch was very short. After eating, the group continued on their way. Ang Lee continued to discuss the matter of laying the railroad tracks with the officials from the Ministry of Works. He also had the officials in charge of surveying and mapping draw the preliminary roads on the blueprints so that it would be easier to carry out the following work.
Li Yu and Li Qiu still followed behind with nothing to do. Although they were still a little disappointed when they saw Ang Lee and the officials from the Ministry of Works discussing the railroad tracks, they began to look forward to it again when they thought about how they would be able to see the railroad tracks in a few days. Even if they had nothing to do, they could still enjoy the scenery around them. It was much more comfortable than staying in the small environment of the Baisun Courtyard.
The day was busy and fulfilling. In the evening, Ang Lee decided to set up camp outside the Hot Spring Palace and have a good rest. The next day, they would return along the original path and expand the scope of their inspection to confirm whether the route they had designed the day before was the best route.
The location for dinner was in the camp. It was also a clean cave in the mountain. In reality, the warm and comfortable Hot Spring Palace was right next to it. However, it was the emperor's private palace. Other than the emperor himself, no one else could casually enter it. Even Li Yu, who was born as an imperial grandson, was no exception. Thus, they could only suffer and sleep outside.
Fortunately, when the group set out, they had brought enough supplies. Of course, they didn't lack tents. It was very easy to set up a dozen tents in the cave.
In the afternoon, Duan Xiushi and Li Yu's guards each hunted a lot of prey. After the tents were set up, they raised a bonfire next to the tents and roasted the cleaned prey on the bonfire.
The fresh prey emitted a rich aroma under the roasting fire. With some salt and pepper sprinkled on, the aroma became even more enticing.
Ang Lee, Li Yu, and Li Qiu sat around a bonfire. They roasted the game while chatting casually. Of course, the task of roasting the meat was Ang Lee's alone. Li Yu and Li Qiu were only responsible for chatting.
"Assistant Minister Li, you seem to be very good at roasting meat! You look very skilled, just like a hunter. "
Li Yu saw that Ang Lee's movements were very smooth and his actions of sprinkling salt and pepper were very professional.
"Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon, you have good eyesight. Although I am not a real hunter, my hunting skills are much better than ordinary hunters. Even professional hunters who hunt for a living can only admit defeat. Foxes are the most cunning prey, but as long as they meet me, they will definitely not be able to escape."
Ang Lee was not bragging. All of this was true. With his archery skills and strength, as long as he saw a fox, there was no way it could escape.
"Wow, Assistant Minister Li is so good."
Li Yu and Li Qiu immediately looked at him with envy. They had also practiced archery, but their skills were really not very good. When they were hunting, it was difficult for them to even hit a deer, let alone a cunning prey like a fox.
"Assistant Minister Li, I heard that you came from Ying Province. Is it very cold there? There must be a lot of prey!"
Li Qiu was very curious and his eyes were full of expectation.
Ang Lee nodded and said, "Ying Province is located in the north. It is a bitter and cold place. Of course, the weather is very cold, much colder than Chang 'an City. There is also much more prey than here. Just on White Wolf Mountain alone, there are countless prey. Every time I go up the mountain, I can catch a lot of prey that can't be eaten! Furs can be sold at a very high price in the city. "
"White Wolf Mountain, why is it called this? Are there many white wolves in the mountain?"
Li Yu asked in confusion.
"Of course there are white wolves. Otherwise, why would it be called White Wolf Mountain? Once, when I went up the mountain alone, I encountered more than a hundred white wolves. They bared their fangs and brandished their claws and rushed at me from all directions."
Li An purposely paused halfway to keep the two of them in suspense.
"And then? How did Assistant Minister Li get out of danger? "
Li Qiu asked nervously.
"Fourth Brother, you should be asking how the white wolves got out of danger."
Ang Lee corrected Li Qiu domineeringly and said proudly, "At that time, the white wolves rushed at me from all directions. The scene was very spectacular, but I was not afraid of them. I stood still, drew my bow, and shot one wolf at a time. However, wolves are too wild. The remaining seventy wolves still rushed to me. I clenched my long spear and swept and stabbed, killing all the approaching white wolves one by one. The snow was covered with wolf blood.
Li Yu and Li Gao were stunned when they heard the story. The officials from the Ministry of Works sitting by the bonfire gradually came over when they heard Li An's story. They were all dumbfounded.
"Assistant Minister Li, you are so awesome. You killed all the white wolves on White Wolf Mountain!"
Li Yu asked.
Ang Lee shook his head and said, "No, I haven't killed a white wolf since that time."
"Why?"
"These white wolves have become smarter. They are smarter than foxes. As long as they smell my scent, they will hide. If they see my people, they will run away faster than rabbits. There is no time to kill them."
Ang Lee shook his head and looked helpless.
This story was actually made up by Ang Lee to establish his prestige and convince Li Yu and Li Qiu. However, Ang Lee definitely had the ability to do so. It was just that he had not encountered the right opportunity. It was not a boast. At most, it was a reasonable assumption.
When one boasted too much, it was inevitable that they would be suspected. Among the officials of the Ministry of Works who gradually gathered around, many of them had doubts about Ang Lee. Of course, they definitely did not dare to say so. This was because Ang Lee was now the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works and their leader. How could they doubt the words of their leader? Even if their leader farted, it would still be fragrant.
After sprinkling salt and pepper on the meat, it was quickly roasted. Ang Lee took the meat and used a dagger to cut it into three large pieces. He let Li Yu and Li Qiu take it with their hands.
Li Qiu's current status was lower than Li Yu's. Of course, he did not dare to take it first. He looked at Li Yu and let Li Yu choose first.
Li Yu did not stand on ceremony. He took the best piece of meat and looked at Li Qiu and Ang Lee apologetically.
Li Qiu took the smallest piece and left the medium piece for Ang Lee.
"Yes, it's very delicious. The meat roasted by Assistant Minister Li is better than anyone else's."
Li Yu took a bite and praised from the bottom of his heart.
Li Qiu also nodded repeatedly and praised Ang Lee's good cooking skills with his eyes.
In terms of culinary skills, Li An was no worse than anyone else. After all, Li An had come from a future where delicacies were everywhere, and he was familiar with the cooking methods of many delicacies. However, in this era of Great Tang, the standard of delicacies was far too lacking. Even the best imperial chef in the palace could not make more delicacies than Li An.
Ang Lee believed that if he wanted to be a chef, he would be the best chef in the Tang dynasty. However, Ang Lee's dream was not to be a chef. Therefore, the title of the best chef in the world could only be given to someone else.
Eating the delicious roasted meat and talking about interesting topics, Li Yu and Li Qiu's mood became better and better. Although Ang Lee did not have time to talk to them during the day, which made them feel bored, at this moment, they felt very excited. After listening to Ang Lee's many stories, they felt that they had indeed gained a lot of knowledge. In addition, it was the first time in their lives that they had slept in the wild. This feeling of camping for the first time was, of course, wonderful.
"Assistant Minister Li, there are not many tents here. Why don't the three of us sleep in one tent? This way, we can save two tents for others. "
Li Yu suggested. The officials of the Ministry of Works considered that Li Yu, Li Qiu, and Ang Lee's status were relatively high. Therefore, when they arranged the tents, they arranged one for each of the three of them. This way, the rest of the people would be very crowded, and they would even have to sleep in the open.
Li Yu's suggestion could greatly reduce the tension in the tents and ensure that everyone could sleep in a tent.
Of course, the reason why the tents were so tight was because Li Yu and the dozen or so guards under his command, as well as Li Qiu, had suddenly joined the team. The officials of the Ministry of Works did not receive any notice in advance, so naturally, they did not prepare a tent for them.
"I agree."
Li Qiu nodded happily at Ang Lee.
Ang Lee grinned. "Alright, since you brothers have agreed, then it's settled. Tonight, the three of us will sleep in one tent. Moreover, in the future, you must always remember this night. The three of us happily lived together."
"Alright, we will always remember this night."
