I am engaged in construction in Datang

Li Yingwu was not suitable for delicate work after all, and he howled every second he stayed with Li Yin.

In the end, they had no choice but to call Aunt Zhao over.

"Aunt Qiao'er, is there a lot of work in the village recently?"

"It's OK. I can handle it."

Aunt Qiaoer and a group of ladies are in charge of daily life in the village, including cleaning the utensils in the guest rooms, preparing meals in the canteen, feeding the large livestock in the village, cleaning public places, etc.

These tasks are not easy and cannot be completed by just a few of them. A lot of people need to be hired.

"Master, some bad comments have appeared in Chang'an City recently."

Aunt Qiaoer said worriedly, "It's just some rumors at the moment."

"What was spread?"

Li Yin's heart sank. Could it be something about the cadaver teacher?

But now is not the time.

"It's about the explosives."

Hearing this, Li Yin's heart dropped into her stomach: "Can you find out where the source is?"

Aunt Qiaoer shook her head: "It seemed to appear suddenly at that moment."

"You are just a scoundrel who can't see the situation clearly."

Li Yin sneered. The people who suffered the most from the criticism of explosives were not Nuzhuang, but those in power and every soldier.

If she hadn't invented gunpowder, the West would have invented it later.

Now that she has developed it, she can still take the lead in the world and protect the people of the Tang Dynasty from the suffering of war.

"Aunt Qiao'er, do they think that gunpowder is against the law of nature?"

"Do you think that if there is no gunpowder, there will be fewer casualties?"

Aunt Qiaoer nodded helplessly. There are always some people with strange ideas: "I think gunpowder is good. In this battle of Gaochang, our Tang soldiers suffered almost no casualties."

"The enemy threw away their weapons and armor, but we did not massacre them."

"Everyone is living well now, how can this be considered against the laws of nature?" Aunt Qiaoer was very angry: "Who are they caring about?"

Li Yin took a sip of tea and lowered her eyes to think.

"Li Yi, help me pass a message to my brother, telling him to ask the Dali Temple to review all the cases since the founding of the country, focusing on finding out the unjust, false and wrongly convicted cases, as well as those murderers who are still at large."

Then, Li Yin took out a piece of paper and started writing.

After finishing, he put it in an envelope and sealed it: "Li Yi, give this letter to my brother."

"Aunt Qiaoer, you have a good relationship with the women in the surrounding villages."

Li Yin said: "Since this rumor has spread from various villages, the women may know more than others. Why not go and ask around."

Aunt Qiaoer responded and immediately went to investigate.

The study became quiet. Li Yin looked at the green bamboo outside the window, her thoughts flying.

"Shou Yue, why do you think people's desires always expand gradually?"

"The prosperity is eye-catching and confusing." Pei Invisible Man Shouyue continued, "There are few people like the owner of the manor in the world."

"I?"

Li Yin chuckled: "It's just that we want different things."

Essentially, it's all driven by desire.

"Keep your promise, Xiaoqiu will be back soon."

"..."

These words were like a bombshell, shocking Pei Xingjian so much that his whole body froze.

Unknowingly, a year has passed. The years seemed to be deliberately blurred. He seemed to have experienced a lot, yet it seemed as if he had done nothing.

His tone was a little stiff: "Master, can you master martial arts in a year?"

"I started training my body when I was young."

Li Yin could not help but hear the calculation behind this, so she deliberately said, "Xiao Qiu has also been chopping wood and carrying water since she was a child."

“……” Pei Xingjian’s cold face became even colder.

"I have written a lot of military books for you this year, as well as many methods of using troops and survival skills."

Li Yin thought carefully and realized that she had given Shouyue no less than thirty books, and that he often discussed with her the art of war in the books.

While staying in the manor, Shouyue never lacked guns and ammunition, and his marksmanship was no worse than Xiaoqiu's.

The method of using troops that Li Yin gave him not only included today's marching methods, but also included more of the fighting methods of the era of hot weapons.

"Keep your promise, don't worry."

She said confidently: "As long as you can survive, the future battlefield will definitely be your exclusive stage."

"..."

Has this arranged his future for him?

"Master, I think Miss Xiaoqiu should train for another year. The situation is not peaceful right now. The guards around you are changing frequently, which makes it easy for scoundrels to take advantage of you."

Then, Pei Xingjian continued to analyze from multiple angles the pros and cons of changing the guards now.

The way of war is changing, and he is still far behind.

If I leave now, I might never have this opportunity to learn again in my life, or... I might miss out on something else.

……

Gaochang has been destroyed.

Hou Junji and others continued to guard the place for half a month. Seeing that no one dared to rebel, they handed over the work in their hands to the civil officials who came to take over.

When the two groups took over, both had sad faces, one because he didn't have enough fun fighting, the other because he was worried about the governance issues.

Li Xiaoqiu rode on the horse, full of energy and vigor.

After returning this time, she will be able to return to the manor and stay by the owner's side forever!

"Xiao Qiu."

Zhao Tianzhu rode his horse side by side with him, "This time the fight went really smoothly."

"It's not pleasant at all."

Li Xiaoqiu glanced at this person who didn't know how to appreciate what he had.

There weren't many fights, but we did take a lot of money. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?

"Merit!" Zhao Tianzhu wailed, "Everyone's merits this time were mediocre. I thought I could get a position in the team, but I never thought I would be the team leader."

"It's just a few dozen coins."

"..." Li Xiaoqiu was speechless. An ordinary person would have to work for two or three years to earn these dozens of strings of cash.

She was too lazy to pay attention to the other party and rode away at full speed.

Just as he was running happily, a cold wind suddenly blew past, and the hairs on Li Xiaoqiu's back instantly stood up.

what……

what's the situation?

Looking around, there was no sign of any attacker, so Li Xiaoqiu felt relieved.

It must have been an illusion just now.

……

Female village.

Li Yin listened to Pei Xingjian's analysis and nodded continuously: "That makes sense."

"Yes, indeed."

"you're right."

After a round of brainwashing, Pei Xingjian looked at Li Yin expectantly.

"Keep your promise."

Li Yin couldn't help laughing out loud, and finally became happier and happier, with dots falling from the paper in front of her because of her shaking hands.

"Next year will be Xiaoqiu's limit."

"Otherwise she'll come after you with a machete."

She crumpled up the waste paper in front of her and threw it into the trash can. She said in a serious tone, "In the next year, I will teach you all the knowledge about hot weapons marching and fighting."

"Some weapons have not yet been produced, they are just concept weapons."

Li Yin looked at him, her eyes sparkling: "But you have to believe me, these will all happen."

"Keep your promise. The world is too big."

She continued: "And you are still young..."

The golden powder penetrated the clouds and sprinkled on the flowers, plants and trees in the world. The hot summer breeze blew Pei Xingjian's hair, and lingered on his face.

In the distance are wheat fields that are about to turn golden, and the rustling sounds are accompanied by the chirping of cicadas and birds.

"One more year..."

It has always been difficult to have both emotions and ideals. On this same day next year, he will be in the military camp.

Pei Xingjian memorized all the plants and trees on the farm, and then smiled: "Be content with what you have, live from day to day, let the past go with the wind, I am carefree as always."

This was her catchphrase, and now he was using it too.
