Chapter 82: A Good Spring (Part II)

Tidy up from head to toe, and then carrying two gourds of wine, Zhang Qian went straight to Zhang Ruoxu's Zhuangzi. The latter is his elder, and even if the year is over, he should move around a few more times. And the two Zhuangzi are so close to each other, they are very safe, and they don't need any family members to follow.

As for which way Zhang Qian went after passing the boundary tree between the two Zhuangzi, no one paid attention to it. In Chang'an in the eighth century, the weather was much warmer than Xi'an in another time and space, and the branches of the trees that had grown new leaves covered his figure like green yarn.

A crisp luan bell sounded on the country road, "jingling, jingling", like mountains and flowing water. Without looking back, Zhang Qian knew who was sitting on horseback, swung his free left hand back, quickly turned his legs, and walked into a nearby wood.

The Luang bell continues, and the horse's hooves hit the ground in a brisk rhythm. In the blink of an eye, the two of them came to a blooming pear blossom in the depths of the woods. Stopped tacitly, one turned back, one dismounted, looked at each other, and before he could speak, suddenly a breeze blew, and in an instant, the sky fell like snow.

"Are you alright? Take that jewelry to Meilou, will anyone trouble you later? I originally wanted to say thank you, but when the words came to my lips, I suddenly felt that the word "thank you" was too raw. Zhang Qian decisively changed his words, but found that the words he said seemed to be even more stunning.

"I ate and drank with a few close friends, and I didn't want to see the big cannibals show off their power in Chang'an. So he took his jewelry to fight for a breath, what does it matter to others? Yang Qingxin didn't dislike Zhang Qianzui's stupidity, smiled, and bent his eyes into beautiful crescents, "It's you, you must be more careful in the future." The eldest princess is not a person who can suffer. If you let her Treasure Pavilion lose and go out of business directly, it is equivalent to slapping her in public, and she will definitely not give up with you! ”

"In broad daylight, she can't come to the door with soldiers and horses!" Of course, Zhang Qian knew that Princess Taiping was not easy to mess with, but he didn't want the other party to worry too much about him, thought about it, and shook his head with a smile, "As for other tricks, I just need to see the moves." Don't worry, I rarely even enter Chang'an City, and it's not easy for her to find trouble with me. ”

"But you can't keep calling yourself sick and not going to court!" The smile on Yang Qingxun's face gradually disappeared, replaced by lingering worry, "I heard from my grandfather that the eldest princess has a lot of henchmen in the court. ”

"I don't have to go to court every day. Even if she goes occasionally, she hides in the corner and doesn't speak, her people can't frame me for being dissatisfied with Datang because I don't speak, right? Zhang Qian thought about it, smiled and took the other party's hand, "Okay, you really don't have to worry about me." You just need to take care of yourself, and I will ask a sedan chair to pick you up one day. I'll take care of the rest! ”

"The sedan chair comes to the door?" Yang Qingxin was stunned for a moment before she figured out what Zhang Qian meant. In an instant, his face turned red, and he quickly withdrew his hand from Zhang Qian's hand, "Lai Pi, how can you talk about marriage without inviting a matchmaker." I ......"

However, after gently twitching twice without twitching, she decisively used her hand to gently hold Zhang Qian's hand, "You don't need to offend her so hard." At that time, as long as the supply of flower dew could be guaranteed, it was already a win. We didn't expect you to make a glass lamp so quickly, and also made a glass mirror! ”

"If you don't fight harder, how can you prevent others from using the same means to spy on the Six Gods in the future?!" Zhang Qian didn't think about it, and shook his head with a smile, "It's better to break the thief's hand once than to prevent thieves every day!" ”

"Break the thief's hand at once?" Yang Qingxun was very curious about Zhang Qian's statement. Tilt your head and ponder.

There are always some strange things in the other party's words, which are incompatible with her previous experience and insight. However, the other party's strangeness always makes her refreshed, or her mouth is sudden.

This is also the charm of the other party. As long as she is with Zhang Qianqian, she will not be limited by conventional and secular views in her actions and ways of thinking. The barrier in the eyes of many people in the world seems to exist at all on Zhang Qian's side. Or as thin as a blank sheet of paper, which can be torn apart with a light pull.

"At first, I didn't know that it was the princess of the town who spied on the trading house!" Zhang Qian's words continued to come with unparalleled patience and honesty, "However, no matter who it is, since she has killed the Six Gods Trading Company, she must pay the corresponding price. If she is not allowed to lose all her blood, it is impossible to avoid the idea of others continuing to fight the trading house. And let her suffer a big loss, and the rest of the people want to do the same thing again, they will naturally weigh whether it is worth taking such a big risk! ”

"Of course it's not worth it!" Yang Qingjing raised his eyes and looked at him, his gaze moist and gentle.

"What's more, Princess Taiping is so strong, even if I offer both hands to the firm. She may not miss my good either. Others, on the other hand, will think that I am weak and deceitful! Smiling confidently at her, Zhang Qian continued to add, "If I want to gain a foothold in the court, I must not blindly tolerate it." Otherwise, no matter how high the official position is, I am afraid that the words spoken will not carry much weight! ”

"I know, you're for me!" The fingers on his hand suddenly tightened, and Yang Qingxun's voice trembled. "Otherwise, you don't have to be in such a hurry. My grandfather said at the beginning, "The Six Gods Trading Company is just something outside of your body to you." It was supposed to be dispensable. lost to the eldest princess, maybe you can still form a good fate. And in fact, you ......"

"Don't say that!" Zhang Qian pulled her closer, faced her, and solemnly denied, "I am willing to do a lot of things for you." But this time, it's really not for you. I just ......"

Seeing the sparkle in her eyes, for no reason, Zhang Qian's tone softened again, "At least, it's not entirely for you." I didn't want to be bullied since I was a child, so whoever bullied me, I would hit me back. Gradually, although others didn't like me, they didn't dare to provoke me easily. I have no relatives in the Tang Dynasty, and I don't have any foundation in the imperial court. The more you blindly tolerate it, the harder it is to have a place. So, it's better to give it a go. ”

Gently raising his hand to sweep off the petals at the tips of the other party's hair, he continued to add, every sentence was honest and serious, "And when I make a place and say anything more, someone will listen carefully." If you want to stop you from going to Tibet and kissing, it will be easier. ”

These words sound too lacking in tenderness and sweetness, and it's no wonder that someone can't find a girlfriend in another time and space! However, when the words fell, Yang Qingxing's gaze was even more gentle.

As a girl in love, of course she hopes that everything the other party does is for her. However, as the granddaughter of Zhongshu Ling Yang Qi and the daughter of Yang Ju, she clearly knew that if Zhang Qian really did everything for her, it would be even more unreliable.

His grandfather's re-appointment as the Zhongshu Ling this time was not so much about his reputation as being held high in order to make room for others. From now on, his grandfather's influence in the court will only become weaker and weaker, and will become weaker and weaker, until he finally completely "retires".

In the case that the relationship between himself and Zhang Qian cannot be clarified to the outside world at all, his grandfather can give Zhang Qian very little help. Zhang Qian must rely on his own ability as soon as possible to gain a firm foothold in the court and have a place in the court, so that it is possible to meddle in the affairs of peace. Otherwise, he doesn't even have the slightest right to speak, how can he fulfill his promise to save himself from the team? It can be seen that the sweeter he speaks at the moment, the more regrets he will have in the future!

Gou Duan is crazy and confused Qin, this sentence is familiar to everyone in Chang'an. However, how many people can figure out that "Gou", "crazy" and "confused" are the ways of survival of the three major families of Duan, Cheng and Qin? With Zhang Qian's qualifications and background, "Gou" and "confused" are probably not qualified. It is a good choice to learn the "madness" of the Cheng family!

"Whatever Brother Zhao wants to do, just do it. I believe you! Not knowing what support he could provide to Zhang Qian to make the pressure he was bearing a little lighter, Yang Qingxin suddenly smiled, and at the same time clenched his fingers tighter.

"If you believe, I will not dare to live up to it!" The ghost sent the gods, and Zhang Qian suddenly opened his mind. Bow your head, look into each other's eyes, and pause word by word.

These words finally have a bit of an oath. The girl's face suddenly turned red, and she was overwhelmed with shame. But he was determined not to bow his head, but tried to stand on tiptoe.

Just a gust of spring breeze blows, and the flowers fall in the air. In an instant, he blocked the two heads that were getting closer and closer.

When the petals were blown away by the wind, the two walked slowly through the woods, holding hands. Each other's faces are full of joy and happiness.

"Yong Zhao, can you tell me about your master? My grandfather said that the depth and complexity of the lineage you have obtained far exceeds the limits of a single sect. It is very likely that those who escaped into the mountains with Qin Mo back then were the most learned group of people in the entire Qin Kingdom, and then in the name of Qin Mo, they were inherited and continued to this day! Gently shaking Zhang Qian's arm, Yang Qingxun is the same as a girl who fell in love in another time and space, when the relationship with her lover is close to a certain level, she can't wait to know everything about the other party.

"Your grandfather is the wisest man I have ever met!" Zhang Qian nodded and expressed his sincere admiration for Lao Yangqi.

Before that, even Zhang Ruoxu, who knew him the most, had only sighed that Qin Mo had indeed found another way in the way of making weapons. But no one tried to speculate that his knowledge did not come from Qin Mo's family, but from a combination of multiple inheritances.

"Did Grandfather really guess right?" Unexpectedly, his grandfather actually said it, Yang Qingxing's eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.

"Let's put it this way, you can see the place where I studied as the same place as the Tang Guozijian." Zhang Qian also hopes to have some better understanding between them, and after a little consideration, he tries to explain in a language that the other party can understand, "It not only teaches the knowledge of the Mohists, but also Confucianism, Legalism, and soldiers." It's just that my ability is limited, and I only learn a very small part of it! ”

"Only a tiny fraction of what you learned? Can you summon a fire meteor? Yang Qingjing's eyes widened wider, and her mouth opened into a good-looking "O" shape.

Zhang Qian's heart immediately surged with the urge to kiss him again. However, I am afraid that this move will be too abrupt. Swallowing his saliva lightly, he replied in a low voice, "The Fire Meteor is just a rumor, but it's actually another means." I didn't bring the relevant objects with me, and when you have time next time, I will show you by hand. ”

"Don't, don't take it out." Yang Qingxin didn't think about it, and shook his head decisively, "I know you have this kind of ability." With Zhao, that is your means of saving your life, and the fewer people who know, the better. ”

"It's okay, you're not an outsider!" A warm feeling quickly filled Zhang Qian's heart. Smiling, he whispered, "Next time you mark this side of the woods in advance." When I saw the mark, I came at the appointed time. I've learned more than one similar method. Pick some simple and easy-to-learn ones to teach you, which can also give you more confidence in our future. ”

"I haven't married into your family yet!" Yang Qingxun was so sweet in her heart, but she resolutely refused to accept it. "Yongzhao, don't take it out. At least, don't take it out until I'm sure I don't have to go to Tibet and kiss again. ”

For no reason, a trace of desolation swelled up in Zhang Qian's heart. He quickly looked down and took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw that tears were faintly flashing in the other party's eyes.

He immediately understood where the desolation that had suddenly sprung up in his heart came from. At the same time, I also felt more clearly the lingering despair that lingered in the other party's heart.

Even the grandfather who was the secretary of the Chinese book couldn't change his fate. But in the hands of a secretary and young eunuch who has neither power nor foundation, is there any possibility of change? ! I'm afraid that every time she comes to meet her, she needs to try to forget the arrangement of fate and try to show the happiest smile. And after each separation, there will be despair again.

"Tomorrow, it's still this time. Come on, I'll show you something! Gently taking the other party into his arms, Zhang Qian tried to use his chest to provide warmth for the other party, "Your grandfather is not wrong at all, my master is extremely strong." Although I am not good at learning, I have enough means to open up the mountains and crack the rocks. As for the future, I can't guarantee much, at least, that no one will be able to force you to do something you don't like. ”

"Brother Zhao!" Holding Zhang Qian with both hands, she was like a sponge, trying to draw some courage and strength from the other party's body. only to find that at this moment, he was as weak as a weed in the wind.

"Don't be afraid, we still have enough time!" Zhang Qian's body is wide and strong, like a big tree, blocking the slightly cool spring breeze for her, "Two years can allow me to make a lot of things." There is a kind of armor in the division, which can block the crossbow bolts head-on. Shimen has a weapon that can be killed invisibly from a hundred paces away. Shimen also has a bicycle that does not need a horse to pull it, and can move quickly with both feet. There is also a huge balloon in the division, which can fly directly into the sky and take you and me thousands of miles away......"

He didn't know what to say to get her out of fear and despair. Therefore, try to pick up the utensils that you know the general principle and hope to make at the level of craftsmanship in this time and space. As a result, the more you talk, the more you find yourself with an open mind.

These words turned out to be quite comforting.

Half an hour later, Yang Qingxing's body stopped trembling.

A quarter of an hour later, the fear in Yang Qingxun's eyes all turned into amazement.

……

Half an hour later, Yang Qingxing's brain had stopped turning. His eyes looked straight at Zhang Qian, as if he was looking at a fairy or a monster.

"In the division, there is also something called a high-speed train. It can carry thousands of people, powered by electricity, and can run 1,400 miles per hour on the rails......"

"Brother Zhao, what is electricity?"

"Electricity is the lightning that is said every day. In fact, it is an invisible energy. This is actually very easy to show, you can come and see ......" Zhang Qian opened the other party lightly, took out a glass comb from his sleeve, smiled and wiped it on his silk robe a few times, then bent down and slowly leaned the comb against the dried petals on the ground.

Four or five dried petals, quickly attracted by the electric charge on the glass comb, stood upright, moving back and forth with his hand, as if the elf was dancing. "This is electricity, if you can concentrate it and deliver it through copper wires. It can drive high-speed trains. ”

Yang Qingxin slowly squatted down, watching the petals dance without blinking, as curious as a baby who had just begun to observe the world. "Brother Zhao, you really didn't apply magic on the comb?"

"This comb is a gift I prepared for you. You can try it yourself. Rubbing silk with any glass can create an electric charge. Zhang Qian smiled and handed the comb to the other party and added with a smile. If you wear silk and fur at the same time in winter, you can often hear the sound of "pop" and "pop", which is also the sound of electric charges colliding with each other.

"I did hear it!" Yang Qingxin suddenly realized, and nodded lightly while rubbing his robe with a comb, "Sometimes you can even see sparks, but I didn't associate it with lightning in the sky before." ”

As she spoke, she also learned Zhang Qian's demonstration and used a comb to attract flower petals. Sure enough, dried petals and grass clippings were also seen, dancing under the comb.

"If you switch to confetti, you can suck it up!" Seeing that the other party was serious about learning, Zhang Qian's addiction to being a teacher quickly attacked. After thinking about it, he said in an encouraging tone: "Also, if you use two glass sticks, rub the silk and fur respectively, and then bring the glass rods close to each other, in the dark room, you can immediately see very beautiful sparks!" (Note: This test is recommended to coax children, which is very simple.) )

"Really?" Yang Qingxin has completely forgotten her troubles, and her beautiful eyes are full of desire to learn.

"Just go back and try it. I'll bring you a glass stick tomorrow. "I'm worried that the other party will squat in the field for too long and be injured by the wind. Zhang Qian stretched out his hand and pulled her up hard. Immediately, he quickly took out a beautifully packaged brocade box from the pocket in his sleeve, "This is also for you." At present, it is the only one in the world! ”

"What's that?" Yang Qingxin reluctantly took his eyes off the ground and took the brocade box with both hands.

"Just open it and see!" Zhang Qian pretended to be mysterious and nodded slightly.

The girl couldn't hold back her curiosity and obediently opened the brocade box. In an instant, a palm-sized mirror automatically erected from the brocade box, illuminating her beautiful face.

In the mirror, the surprise and joy on her face were clear.

In the mirror, his figure quickly walked behind her. Bend down gently and press your face to hers.

Two young smiling faces quickly converged in the mirror. Suddenly, once again, Zhang Qian quickly took out the mobile phone from his arms that he had not dared to use again for a long time, and opened it carefully. Then, he put his head on Yang Qingxing's shoulder again, and instructed the other party to look at the camera of the mobile phone with him, and then, his fingers quickly pressed down.

"Click!" In an instant, two happy faces became eternal on the screen of the mobile phone!

………………

"Brush, brush ......" Under the noon sun, the sword light flickered, dazzling people.

In the Zhongnan Mountain, on a piece of ground that had been stepped on, Sima Chengzhen, the twelfth grandmaster of the Maoshan Sect of the Shangqing Sect, kept waving his sword while kicking the Gangbu Fight, and chanted words in his mouth at the same time, "Taishang Laojun is as anxious as the law......

A little farther away, Li Xianzong, the former Hun Tianjian of the Tang Dynasty, was carrying a peachwood sword, staring intently at Sima Chengzhen's every move, and his slightly old face was full of expectations.

"Ring the bell!" Stopping suddenly, Sima Chengzhen snapped off.

"Dangdang ......" three bronze bells were struck by the little Taoist priests, the sound was crisp and pleasant, startling a group of wild turtledoves to rise into the air, hulala covering the small half of the sky.

"Master, has Daoist Bai Yunzi figured out some eyebrows? According to the report of the Baiqi Division, the brothers who were near Xiaozhangjiazhuang that day did not hear the bell until long after the altar caught fire! Under a willow tree more than ten steps away from Li Xianzong, Princess An Le, the daughter who was most liked by the Tang Emperor, gently pulled the sleeve of a white-haired old Taoist priest and reminded in a low voice.

"Hmm!" The white-haired old Taoist priest, known as the master, closed his eyes and pinched the thumb of his right hand on the other four fingers. After a while, he hesitated to explain: "Princess, each family has its own secret method, and the bell rings behind the fire, or before the firelight, it is just an appearance. The key is to see if the fire can come out and how far it can fly. Senior Brother Bai Yunzi is the strongest person in my Maoshan faction, and since he has been entrusted by the princess, he will do his best. As for whether the key to successfully uncovering that day this time depends on chance. After all, a solar eclipse is the intersection of the solstice and the yin, and now, there is only the sun, not the yin. ”

"Oh?!" Princess An Le nodded politely, the disappointment in her eyes, but she did not hide it.

The bronze bell was "temporarily borrowed" from the palace by her mother more than half a month ago. It was first handed over to the Buddhist monks to ponder for many days, but there was no result, and as a last resort, he turned to Sima Chengzhen, who had already lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain.

Judging from the current results, Sima Chengzhen probably hasn't even touched the door that inspired the meteor. Not to mention cracking the secret of Zhang Qian's summoning of the fire meteor that day!

"Don't worry, princess, Senior Brother Bai Yunzi is very knowledgeable, since he is willing to give it a try today, he must already have some confidence in his heart." The old Taoist priest was so stimulated by Princess Anle's gaze that his face turned red. Gritting his teeth, he added, "Maybe it just needs some ......"

"Uh, go!" He was only halfway through his sentence when suddenly there was a broken cry in his ears. The two of them both turned their heads, just in time to see Bai Yunzi pointing at the shade of the tree two feet away with his sword. In the extremely dark place under the shade of the tree, there was a sudden flash of blue flames, and in an instant, billowing white smoke came out!

The crisp bell of "Dangdang ......" rang again, and the joy was like a galloping horse!
