"There are no good men in this world!"
Princess Changle said angrily as she watched her husband and brother sneakily plotting against the Eastern Turks and Xue Yantuo.
After the two of them muttered and plotted for a long time, Li Chengqian stood up happily. With this proposal, there would only be one winner in this grassland war, and that was the Tang dynasty.
As for whether the Eastern Turks were willing to be the representatives of the Tang dynasty, Li Chengqian did not have the slightest doubt. After all, the Eastern Turks were faced with a life and death situation and had no other choice.
"Let's go. I haven't seen Mo Sha and Mo Tan for a long time. I miss them very much." Li Chengqian got up and said as he thought of his nephew and niece after settling the matter.
Princess Changle smiled bitterly and said, "Those two buffoons are very naughty now!"
Princess Changle could not help but have a headache when she thought of her children. Those two buffoons caused chaos in the Mo Mansion every day.
The three of them got up and went to the three-story villa. Before they arrived, they heard a burst of noise from afar.
"Higher! Higher!"
Mo Sha's excited voice kept coming. Meton went forward to take a look and could not help but feel his blood pressure rising. He saw Mo Sha sitting on a swing, and Wu Meiniang behind her kept throwing her higher and higher.
There was another swing at the side, and little Mo Tan was sitting on it. He was being pushed by his uncle Li Zhi from behind, laughing happily.
"This crazy girl!" Princess Changle was furious. It was not clear whether she was talking about Wu Meiniang or Mo Sha.
Li Chengqian also shook his head and smiled bitterly. As a member of the royal family, there was no time for them to play so wildly.
"I'll go and catch them!" Princess Changle said angrily. In the eyes of a mother, such behavior was too dangerous and unladylike.
"Wait!" Suddenly, Meton's eyes lit up. He stopped Princess Changle who wanted to go forward and stared at the siblings sitting on the swing.
"Master!"
Seeing her master and mistress appear, Wu Meiniang felt guilty and wanted to stop.
"Continue to push!"
Meton waved his hand and said expressionlessly. Wu Meiniang did not know if her master was angry or not, so she could only continue to push.
Li Zhi saw Wu Meiniang being punished and his manly courage immediately. He said proudly, "Brother-in-law, it's not Mei Niang's fault. It's my ninth brother asked Mo Tan to sit on the swing..."
"In that case, if Brother-in-law asks you to sit on the swing, will you do it?" Moton raised his eyebrows.
"How would I dare to disobey Brother-in-law's orders?" Li Zhi said with a smile.
Li Zhi reached out and carried Mo Tan down. He jumped onto the swing. He was already a fifteen-year-old youth. He did not need anyone to push him. He just needed to kick his feet and the swing started to swing.
"Master, I also accept my punishment!" Wu Meiniang did not want to be outdone. She carried Mo Tan down and sat on the swing herself.
"Accept your punishment?" Li Zhi frowned. Wasn't it just sitting for a thousand years? What kind of punishment was this?
Wu Meiniang rolled her eyes at Li Zhi. She knew her master best. After making a mistake, he would let you sit on the swing easily. This time, the swing was definitely not easy to sit on. Mo Tan and Mo Sha, the two ungrateful ingrates, had already snuck away.
There was a gentle breeze, and the sunlight shone through the leaves, forming small circles on the ground. Under the shade of the tree, a handsome young man and a slender and elegant young girl were sitting side by side on a swing. It was such a picturesque scene.
However, reality proved that nothing was a happy thing to do for a long time. Swinging on the swing was a very beautiful thing. However, continuously swinging on the swing was a very tiring thing. Even though the two of them had no strength to swing on the swing, Meton did not care. He even sent two of Mo Jiazi's brothers to push them from behind.
"Both of you start swinging at the same time. One swings higher, the other swings lower."
"Now, the time starts from 15 minutes. Count the number of swings in your heart."
"Both of you hold on to the swing tightly. This time, start free falling from the highest point."
…
Meton's continuous urging and all kinds of ways to swing on the swing actually destroyed this warmth.
Wu Meiniang felt her whole body tremble. She felt that she would never like to swing again in this lifetime. However, her master did not tell her to stop. She continued to persevere. Li Zhi did not want to lose face in front of his sweetheart. He also gritted his teeth and persevered.
Slowly, everyone's expression became serious. At first, everyone thought that Meton was punishing the two of them. However, they soon realized that something was wrong. Meton seemed to have discovered something from the swing.
"Brother Crown Prince, did you see something?" Princess Changle knew her husband best. She knew that her husband had an epiphany, but she did not know why.
Li Chengqian nodded seriously and said, "Look carefully. Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang started swinging at the same time. No matter how high or low they swung, they will overlap at the same place."
Princess Changle looked carefully and could not help but be surprised, "It's really like that?"
She realized that if the two of them swung at the same time, one swung high and the other swung low, there would naturally be times when they would overlap. However, this overlap would always be at the same place. Moreover, it just so happened that they both started at the same place.
"In addition, no matter how fast or slow they swung, the number of times they swung back and forth within 15 minutes is the same." Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said.
"What's the use of this?" Princess Changle did not understand.
"Time!" Li Chengqian said word by word, "In other words, in 15 minutes, no matter if it's an adult or a child, no matter how high or low they swung, the number of times they swung back and forth is the same. I feel that Brother Mo has found a way to accurately calculate time."
Meton had just said that whether it was the night watch, the sundial, or even the School of Mo's four-faced clock, they did not touch on the essence of time. This was because they were unable to accurately calculate the smallest amount of time. However, Meton seemed to be able to accurately calculate the smallest amount of time, and that was the time of one swing.
"Swinging the swing 7200 times in two hours, that's 3600 times in one hour. This is a very miraculous discovery." Meton looked at the record in his hand and raised his eyebrows.
Li Chengqian nodded slightly. According to the lunar calendar, there were 360 days in a year. Not long ago, Zu Mingjun, a mathematician, calculated that the circumference was 360 degrees. The hollow sundials on the four sides of the clock were also round. This was probably not as simple as a coincidence.
"Alright, you two can come down!" Meton looked at the two who were gritting their teeth and decided to let them go out of kindness.
The two immediately felt relieved and hurriedly got down from the swing. They got down. Just as they moved to the ground, they immediately felt their legs go soft and almost collapsed to the ground.
The two looked at each other. In the eyes of the world, swinging was originally a very beautiful thing, especially with one's sweetheart. However, this time, their thoughts were overturned. Even if it was a beautiful thing, it was actually so painful to persist for so long.
Even if it was love!
