Awesome! My best friend traveled through time and space and became the infrastructure queen
Chapter 44 Other Courtyard
On the outskirts of Luocheng, Tieniu Village is located at the foot of Yinmeng Mountain.
An old man wearing a green robe and a goatee was walking up the mountain in high spirits.
"gentlemen."
"Mr. Sun!"
A child was coming back from the field with cattle. When he saw that it was him, he ran after him.
"Sir, why are you here? Let's go to my house for dinner. I'll ask my mother to kill a chicken."
Sun Liangyuan stroked his beard and looked at him with a smile: "I came here specially to see you. Have you memorized everything I taught you a few days ago?"
"I got it! I memorized it all in three days!"
"Okay, okay, children can be taught."
"Sir, yesterday..." The child touched his belly, then shrank his neck and looked at him, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"A man should not hesitate when speaking. If you have something to say, speak it out loud."
"The village chief's son, Bao, laughed at me. He said, 'Teacher, you're teasing me because what you teach me is different from what I learned in the academy.'"
"Humph! I teach students in accordance with their aptitude!"
Sun Liangyuan raised his chin, then looked at him with a look of disappointment, "Goudan! Your talent is much higher than you realize. Don't let others influence you and make you waver."
Goudan was only six or seven years old. His family had been farmers for generations and he had no knowledge. Now he found an old man on the roadside who was eager to teach him to read. Naturally, people around him found it incredible. They all said that Sun Liangyuan was a liar. He probably wanted to kidnap Goudan and sell him, or to trick him into following him around as a lackey.
"You are kind-hearted and intelligent, and you have a natural aptitude for arithmetic. This is a gift not possessed by ordinary people. If you study hard and make good use of it, you will surely achieve great success."
"Does that mean I can eat a chicken every day?"
"That's not just one chicken, that's a lot of chicken!"
"Wow, that's great." Goudan's eyes lit up and he smacked his lips. "So what did the master teach me? Come on, let's go home. I'll have my mother kill a chicken to thank the master."
Sun Liangyuan was dragged by his arm and continued to walk forward. The laughter of the old man and the young man drifted far away...
……
Luocheng, inside the Fuyun Inn.
"Commander!"
"What about people?"
"I am incompetent and still haven't found Mr. Sun."
"What use do I have for you useless people?! The Queen Mother is still waiting. If I can't find Sun Liangyuan, how will I report to you?!"
"I've checked every pub, restaurant, and home of Mr. Sun's friends and relatives, but there's no trace of him! Could he be out of Los Angeles?"
Zhan Xiao took a deep breath and paced back and forth in the room.
The Queen Mother ordered him to come out and find Sun Liangyuan to go into the palace to teach the Emperor privately, and specifically instructed him to act quickly!
Otherwise, when the envoys from the Moon White Bear Kingdom come to Beijing, if the emperor knows nothing about astronomy and gunpowder, people will probably compare him with the late emperor and say that the son is not as good as the father.
"One more day to search! You must find it tomorrow!"
"Yes!"
Several men in gray quickly left.
After waiting for a while, Zhan Xiao still felt uneasy.
So he went to Sun Liangyuan's house in person to see if he could find any clues.
Since his wife passed away, Sun Liangyuan never remarried and had no children in his life. He spent his days alone with manuscripts and delicious food.
When asking neighbors about his whereabouts, his subordinates learned that he had previously been cared for by a servant and a maid. However, Mr. Sun accused them of being dishonest and had stolen the snacks he had bought at Jixiangfang, and had driven them away a few days ago.
Oh, a few snacks, this Sun Liangyuan is really stingy. He sneered and shook his head.
Zhan Xiao knew that no one was home, so he turned around and went straight to his study in the inner courtyard without hesitation. He planned to take back some things related to astronomical gunpowder, otherwise he was worried that the Queen Mother would be furious and he would be punished alive.
The study is a mess.
The table and floor were strewn with scrawled papers. Zhan Xiao picked them up and examined them. He recognized the words, but he couldn't make out their meaning. All those circles and long, short, crooked lines flooded into his mind like a tangled mess. He tossed them onto the table and quickly gathered a few books from the shelf, stuffing them into his arms.
Hey! Wait.
what is this?
There is a food box under the bookshelf, and it seems to be pressing a business card.
Zhan Xiao bent down to pick it up. Ningyuan Palace's Lu Chaofeng? !
Did Lu Chaofeng pass a visiting card to Sun Liangyuan? With his frail body, he actually managed to reach Los Angeles so quickly?!
He squeezed the visiting card hard, took out the book from his arms, stuffed it casually on the bookshelf, then strode out of the door and quickly returned to the inn to call his subordinates.
"Didn't you notice Lu Chaofeng was in Luocheng?"
"Prince Lu? No."
"Go check where he is."
"Then please pass me a visiting card and I'll go see him in person."
"Yes, my subordinate will do it right away."
The Prince of Ningyuan came out of the capital with a huge team, so naturally there was a lot of fanfare along the way.
However, the Lord of Luocheng was at odds with the Ningyuan Palace, and he refused to give Lu Chaofeng the face to receive him, so the Ningyuan Palace team did not enter the city at all, but went directly to the villa on the outskirts of Luocheng.
The villa is located in Yinmeng Mountain on the outskirts of Luocheng.
Lu Chaofeng, who had just returned to the villa, was about to lose control of the poison gas in his body. Although he was wearing a lot of clothes, he still felt like he was falling into an icy cave.
"Prince, why don't you go to the hot spring pool for a while? It should make you feel better."
"Well, the servants are not allowed to come here."
"Yes!"
This pool, which maintains a constant temperature all year round, is truly extraordinary.
After Lu Chaofeng soaked for a while, he clearly felt that the coldness in his body had been suppressed a lot, and he felt much more energetic.
At this time, Wu Ming and the other man came back.
"Sir, Miss Su has returned home safely."
"Ah."
"Zhan Xiao's men seem to be looking for you."
"Oh?" Lu Chaofeng opened his eyes, rising heat lingered in front of his eyes, and drops of water slid down his cheeks, across his chin and dripped into the water.
"He went to Mr. Sun's house. Maybe he saw the visiting card?"
"It's okay, just let him come to me."
"But Mr. Sun..."
"Even if he destroyed my villa, Sun Liangyuan is not here with me, so what can he do to me? He is the commander of the imperial guards and he has left the capital incognito with his men. I am afraid he will not stay for long."
Lu Chaofeng pinched his brows, tilted his neck back, leaned against the edge of the pool, and continued to close his eyes and rest, saying: "Let someone make a big move and force him back to the palace."
"Yes, I understand."
Wu Ming left first, but the other person stood there without moving.
Lu Chaofeng noticed that his attendant Ah Shun had stopped, frowned, and asked, "What else?"
"The prince has sent a letter."
"Oh, I won't read it. The old man will definitely scold me in the letter."
"The prince sent three letters in a row, and the prince didn't read any of them?"
Three? Lu Chaofeng waved his hand impatiently, "Give it to me."
"Yes." Ah Shun took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to Lu Chaofeng respectfully. But as soon as Lu Chaofeng opened it, he stood up from the water.
Something happened at the border!
