I brought five birds to eat and drink with my girlfriends in ancient times

"Xiao Lan, if my guess is correct, things are going to change in South Vietnam. No wonder Xiao Shen sent people everywhere to check the origins of my goods and poach my chefs.

He is short of money! His expenditure is so huge, like a money-eating beast. There is no other reason except to support the army and private soldiers.

Moreover, the emperor has become more and more incompetent recently, and he often summons Xiao Shen to the palace. This is unusual. The old emperor did not like Xiao Shen before, and was better to Xiao Mian than Xiao Shen. It is impossible for him to suddenly become nice to a not-so-good son.

Fortunately, for some inexplicable reason, almost all of Xiao Shen's requests in the court were met. I wondered if the emperor was being held hostage by the seventh prince.

What on earth was used to restrain the emperor and make him favor him so much? The prince hadn't made any moves recently, which was very strange. It was impossible for the prince not to know all this, unless he didn't want to save the emperor.

Xiao Lan, you should check these out when you have time. Your brothers and their friends are all responsible for their own projects in Zi Yan Country. This is the latest thing I have researched. You should take it back to Zi Yan Country and give it to your eldest brother and his friends.

Let's see when they can build it. South Vietnam is about to fall into chaos. Our weapons must be more advanced so that we can occupy the vanguard and protect the people we want to protect."

"Sister, what is this? This wooden stick has a weird shape. It looks like a paddle but not quite. Is this really a new weapon?"

"Well, don't worry, this is called a rifle. It can kill the enemy at a long distance and kill them with one shot. It is the first choice for defending against the enemy. You can also study it carefully with old man Zhuge when you go back.

We will try to make the test successful this year. Time is very tight now. You will go back later and make the best use of your time to complete it. If you have any questions, come back and tell me."

Although Shangguan Yue had many hobbies in his previous life, he played mostly with toy guns and had never played with a real gun. In recent years, he has focused on making money and has no time to think about weapons.

Now that she has made enough money, it is time to make weapons. She does not seek to expand her territory, but only to protect herself from being bullied. She also has no ambition to unify the world.

That would tire her to death. She just wanted to live a stable and comfortable life with Bianbian's family. Bianbian had no ambitions at all. She said she just wanted to live a happy life being pampered.

Alas, this happy life also requires capital and a backer. If you rely on the mountain, the mountain will fall; if you rely on people, they will run away. Relying on yourself is the most reliable. Therefore, you can only kill more brain cells to create new weapons.

She and Bianbian have drawn hundreds or even thousands of blueprints for making the gun. The principle of the simulation toy gun is similar to that of a real gun, except for the bullets and modifications to the range.

"Sister, if I go back, who will protect you?"

"Don't worry. In addition to you, there are six guards and two secret guards. And I'm not bad at escaping! You'll only be back for a few days. Just arrange for them to do it."

"Okay then! I'll try to arrange it quickly and come back."

"Well, I'll take a break, you go ahead!"

After Shangguan Yue watched Xiao Lan disappear in an instant, she wanted to go back to the space to sleep for a while. She saw Bai Zhi bringing in tea and food. It turned out that it was time for dinner.

Xiao Yunteng, who was nestling in the tree, was confused by what he heard. He understood what was said in the beginning. It was Old Seven who was malicious and wanted to swallow up Yue'er's property! It was a wishful thinking, but he would never allow it!

He even dared to raise private soldiers, was he planning a rebellion? Where would the prince be placed? It seemed that Master was right, the seventh child was not fit to be the emperor. The eighth child only loved to play with guns and swords, and he didn't like to use his brain when he was young. He couldn't be a prince without brains.

It seems that the crown prince is still the most suitable to succeed to the throne. As for the Purple Flame Country, he has no idea about it. He only heard about it when he was a child. It is a mysterious country that his countrymen cannot enter.

Why were Yue'er's people able to enter and come and go freely? Could Yue'er's people be from Ziyan Country? Yue'er was their master, so what was Yue'er's status in Ziyan Country? Or was there any special relationship between Yue'er and Ziyan Country?

Xiao Yunteng was very curious. He had missed a lot of things in the past few years. He knew nothing about Shangguan Yue, but he couldn't ask directly. He was so anxious that he scratched his head.

After listening for a while, there was no sound. Could it be that all those people had left, leaving Yue'er alone in the room?

After a while he heard the sounds of drinking tea and eating. Feeling a little hungry, his stomach growled uncontrollably. Then he realized that he had not eaten yet.

And no one knew where those two idiots, Wang Xiaohu and Rong Xiaoxi, had gone, and no one knew whether they had found their way back by following the marks he left.

Xiao Yunteng touched his stomach and decided to go find something to eat. He would first go find those two burdens and have a meal together. Then he would give them some money to stay at the inn and ask them to stop following him. It was annoying!

He still had to follow Yue'er! How could he take the two of them with him? They kept yelling in his ears all day long. He had long wanted to get rid of them.

Just as he was about to get down from the tree, he suddenly heard Yue'er say, "Go home, go home?" That meant going back to the General's Mansion. The clingy Blue Peacock had gone to Ziyan Country and was not with Yue'er. He still secretly escorted Yue'er home first.

After finishing her meal, Shangguan Yue wanted to go into the space to take a nap. But seeing that it was already 3:00 p.m., she decided to go home and have fun with her brothers. Besides, there were no street lights in ancient times, so it was difficult and unsafe to walk at night.

The eldest lady was going back home, so Bai Zhi went out to inform the coachman to drive the carriage over. The guards outside the door had already taken turns to eat and rest, and were ready to set off at any time.

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage drove out from the back door. Xiao Yunteng watched Shangguan Yue get on the carriage and he followed from a distance behind.

There are two secret guards among these six guards. Although they have good martial arts skills, they are no match for Xiao Yunteng. The eight of them were completely unaware that Xiao Yunteng was following them.

It takes more than half an hour to get back to the General's Mansion from the Lanyue Pavilion. After leaving the Lanyue Pavilion, you have to pass through the busy streets and then walk through a section of farm road and a section of mountain road to reach the residential area.

Follow the river road beside the residential area and walk almost to the end to reach the General's Mansion. The scenery along the way is really nice, otherwise Ning Zhenzhen would not have chosen to settle down here with Xiaolan and the others.

Without Xiao Lan's chattering in her ears, Shangguan Yue felt that the cool breeze was refreshing, and the road on the farm was filled with the sweet smell of crops.

She stuck her little head out of the car window, closed her eyes and took a deep breath of the fresh air. Even though she had been in this ancient place for seven years, the pollution-free air was incomparable to that of modern times.

Xiao Yunteng, who had been following all the way, felt soft in his heart when he saw Shangguan Yue's rare cute appearance. Yue'er was smart and quiet when she was a child, and her big dark eyes seemed to be able to see through everything about him.

He couldn't hide from her, but looking into her eyes, he couldn't help wanting to get closer, wanting to be with her, wanting to do anything for her.

This feeling is even stronger now. She has a kind of attraction. A glance or a gesture can make him unable to control his heartbeat.

Is this what Master meant by love?
