Retribution for having a foul mouth always came very fast. The girl named Yangliuqing had the temperament of a Jianghu person. If there was a disagreement, she would raise her sword. There was a reason why she chose Liu Ruyi as her master.
Of course, she wouldn't kill him. The sword was more of a threat.
Li Xuan's guards didn't care whether she was threatening or really wanted to harm the Crown Prince. Anyone who dared to use weapons against the Crown Prince would be treated as an assassin.
The two guards shouted. A flash of sword light flashed and collided with Yangliuqing's sword. There was a sound of metal colliding. The girl couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Li Xuan's guards were all experts who were picked out of a hundred or a thousand. Their strength was obviously better than Yangliuqing's.
Li Yi didn't have a clear understanding of the girl's strength. He only saw her fight with Ruyi. She was captured alive before she could even make one move. However, this didn't mean that she was weak. Miss.Liu couldn't be used as a reference. Li Yi was very sure that even Li Xuan's guards couldn't last one move against her.
After forcing the girl to retreat, the two guards obviously didn't want to let her go. They took the opportunity to press on, as if they wanted to capture her alive.
There was a sound of weapons clashing in the courtyard. Yangliuqing had a hard time dealing with one of them. Now that there were two of them, she could only retreat. Soon, she was about to retreat into the house.
Li Yi was just about to tell Li Xuan to let his guards know when to stop. He couldn't blame anyone else for the sins of his mouth.
Before he could say anything, the two guards' swords were broken into two. One of them had a sword on his neck. The other was shocked. When he was about to explode, the girl glanced at him coldly. It was like a bucket of cold water was poured on his head. He stood there and didn't dare to move.
"If you want to fight, go outside. Don't dirty the courtyard." Liu Ruyi said coldly and entered the house.
The two guards didn't even have time to wipe the cold sweat off their foreheads. They picked up the broken weapons on the ground and immediately retreated. They didn't dare to cause trouble for the girl anymore.
Just now, he didn't manage to see it clearly. He only felt a flash of light before the saber in his hand broke. Then, a saber was placed on his neck.
He had always known that this woman was not simple, but today, he deeply understood how terrifying she was. If she was on the Wulin Hero Ranking, she would at least be in the top five.
Yangliuqing watched as the two people who had forced him to the point where he couldn't even fight back fled like stray dogs with their tails between their legs in the blink of an eye. The determination in his eyes deepened as he watched the figure walk into the house.
The two guards were chased outside by Li Xuan. They lay down on Li Yi's rocking chair comfortably. The chair under them swayed with the rhythm. They couldn't help but sigh. "It is said that the royal family is extravagant. In fact, the one who knows the most about extravagant enjoyment is you."
Li Yi curled his lips. What kind of world was this? Sleeping in a rocking chair was extravagant. She occupied his seat and said he was extravagant. A random rosewood chair from the Prince's Mansion could buy dozens or hundreds of his rocking chairs.
"You are about to get married. Why are you running around all day? If you like it, I will give you this chair. One hundred taels of silver, as usual." Yangliuqing stared at Li Xuan with an unfriendly gaze. The remaining guard behind Li Xuan kept staring at her. After lying down for a long time, Li Yi stretched his waist and said lazily.
"I don't have your leisure." Surprisingly, Li Xuan refused, something he rarely did. He stood up from his chair and looked at Li Yi, saying, "I've been racking my brains for the past few days in the King's Residence, working through the night until dawn. Finally, I've created something that can allow people to fly."
"What?" Now it was Li Yi's turn to be shocked. It had only been a few days, and this guy had made an airplane?
It was impossible. It was impossible for him to understand Bernoulli's principle, and it was impossible for him to know anything about aerodynamics. Unless he was God, no one could build a plane by throwing stones and leaves from the roof, let alone in this age of ignorance.
Even the most primitive and simple airplane was impossible. The Wright brothers invented the first real airplane, which only appeared at the beginning of the 20th century. Compared with most of the ancient people, Li Xuan was very smart, but it was impossible for him to make something that was a thousand years ahead of time.
Soon, Li Yi saw Li Xuan's "airplane".
It turned out that the thing that could let people fly was a huge kite made of cloth. A guard of the Prince's Mansion ran a few times, grabbed the kite, and jumped down from the roof of the two-story attic. After gliding in the air for more than ten meters, he landed steadily on the ground.
Li Yi blushed because he almost believed Li Xuan's words.
This was the thing that he made after thinking hard and staying up all night?
It was just a big kite. Even if a pig was tied to it, as long as the angle was good, it would be able to glide in the air for a certain distance. The guards would be fine even if they directly jumped down from the two-story building. They were used to going up and down, so this height was nothing to them.
"I think that if they jumped off the cliff, they might be able to fly even further. In the past, you said that people could fly in the sky with the help of external forces. I didn't really believe it, but now I believe it." Li Xuan's expression was somewhat proud, as if he had done something very great.
Hearing his words, the face of the guard who fell down from the roof turned pale. If they jumped down from the two-story attic, they would only sprain their ankles at most; if they jumped down from the cliff, they might lose their lives …
Li Yi was a bit dispirited. He had completely lost interest in Li Xuan's big kite. Even if Li Xuan made a glider, he might be a bit happy, but it was better than this thing without any technical content.
"You'd better not let them jump down from the cliff. Your guards are good at fighting skills. If one of them dies, there will be one less guard. It's not worthwhile. Don't tinker with the kite anymore. When you're free, you should study the Sky-praying Lantern. It's much more useful than making another big kite."
Li Xuan's guard looked at Li Yi as if he was looking at a savior. When His Royal Highness asked him to jump down from the cliff with the kite, he had even written his will. He tried to steal a native dog from the neighboring village and tie it to the kite. As a result, the moment he let go of the kite, the kite fell down. That dog was really miserable. If it was him, he might not be any better than that animal.
However, dog meat was really delicious. He swore that it was the most delicious meat he had ever eaten in his life. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was full of praises for it. Since then, the number of dogs in the prefectural city had been especially serious.
"Sky-praying Lantern?" Li Xuan's attention was diverted. He rubbed his chin and started to think about what Li Yi meant.
The image of the Sky-praying Lantern rising into the sky appeared in his mind. Li Xuan was stunned, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
While he was immersed in his own world, Li Yi planned to go home for dinner. A while ago, Li Xuan was still having a headache about his marriage. These few days, he was in the mood to hide at home and make plans. It seemed like he had completely accepted his fate.
An arranged marriage was not acceptable. From the looks of it, he seemed to be planning to dedicate his life to science. After a short moment of silence for his future wife, he could see his own house.
A figure was pacing back and forth at the entrance of the house. He kept rubbing his hands and looked very anxious. Li Yi walked over and asked, "Old Sun, what's wrong? Did something happen at the theater?"
"Young Master, you're finally back!" Old Sun let out a long sigh of relief. Li Yi was his backbone. He only felt confident when he saw him …
"It's not just the theater. Our brothel outside is also in trouble!"
