Chapter 35: The Pigeon Incident
If you go to bed too late at night, you won't be able to get up in the morning.
I chatted with Tang Zhaoyu too late last night, and when I was called down in the morning, I always felt as if I hadn't slept all night.
Why did the night pass as soon as the eyelids were closed and opened?
In the morning, he slept hard in the carriage, and in the afternoon, he was pulled by Tang Zhaoyu to learn a trick.
The art of the Southern Tang Dynasty has been passed down for a long time, and it is very mysterious, and it is passed on to women but not to men.
That being said, legend has it that the most powerful mechanic is actually a man named Yanshi.
Legend has it that this Yanshi brought his own machine man to meet the king at that time, and wanted to offer the machine man as a treasure to the king.
The machine man made by the Yanshi can sing and dance, and his demeanor and appearance, every move, are exactly the same as real people.
Although the singing is not as good as the singer's lingering sound, it can be regarded as graceful and listening, and the dancing is even more elegant.
The king asked the musician to change several tunes in a row, and the dance of the machine man was in tune with the rhythm of the musician's music, and he stretched freely.
The more the king looked, the more he suspected that the Yanshi was deceiving himself, and suspected that this was a real person pretending to deceive the reward.
Just when the king hesitated, the song and dance came to an end.
In front of the king, this organ man had his eyes wandering, and he teased the king's concubines with his eyes.
The king was furious and wanted to behead the machine man for disrespect, and by the way, he would see if it was a real person pretending.
The Yanshi hurriedly grabbed the man and untied his clothes, and then took off his head, hands and feet to show the king.
This is no different from a real person, but it is really just made of some leather, wood blocks, glue, lacquer and other materials.
Then open the chest cavity of the organ man and see: there are hearts, livers, spleens, lungs and kidneys inside, all the five organs are complete, everything is carved from wood, but the complex mechanism lock inside is jaw-dropping.
Since then, Yanshi has become famous, and since then, the technique has slowly become a secret technique sought by soldiers from all over the world.
Traps, traps, and carts began to be used frequently in warfare.
I once heard Xiao Mu mention in Liyuan: There are no more than three people in the world who are good at being organs, and both of them are in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but there are many people who are good at making some trap pigeons and simple and ingenious trap dolls.
This afternoon, I mixed with Tang Zhaoyu to study the mechanism technique, and I got a rough idea of my level.
Tang Zhaoyu is good at making weapons and traps, although he has not been involved in machine people, but he has also been in contact with them, and he has also seen drawings, which shows that the person behind him must be the world's leading machine master.
I thought I would only unlock, but now it seems that what Fallacy taught me was not unlocking, but the most critical mechanism lock logic, in other words, as long as I was given a drawing, I could make anything based on the logic of these different mechanism locks.
I am very pleased with this discovery, and Tang Zhaoyu is also very happy.
She learned her tricks by stealing drawings by herself, and her basic logic is not good.
I wanted to build a trick for Po, and I needed her to help me design and experiment.
We hit it off, I taught her the logic of the trap lock, and she taught me the blueprints and some simple weapon traps.
I found something that we both liked, and it was almost evening to see each other and talk about it.
I lifted the curtain to see that it was getting dark outside, and I could faintly hear the chirping of birds.
"Sugar Candy, how about we have dinner in the evening?"
"What do you want to eat?"
I smiled and didn't speak.
After dinner, it was just getting dark, so I pretended to be very sleepy and went back to the house with Sugar Candy.
After changing our clothes, we rolled over and went to the roof.
After waiting for a long time, a carrier pigeon flew into the station.
The crossbow designed by Sugar Candy is really easy to use, and when it hits, we made improvements in the afternoon, putting on slender soft silk on archery...
That's right... That's the one she used to tie my soft silk in the first place!
The pigeon was shot by both of us before it hit the ground and was drawn back to us along the soft wire.
The pigeon has a small bamboo tube tied to its feet.
Pulling out the note from the bamboo tube, stuffing it into our arms, we rolled over and went back to our room through the window.
"Didn't you say extra food? Why did you release the pigeons again? ”
"Did you really eat it?"
"Afraid I'll find something?"
As soon as the lights were lit, an eerie voice came from the room.
"Second brother, it's early..."
Got caught! It's still the kind of on-site bag grabbing!
"It's not early, it's already evening." Zhan Xiao sat expressionlessly at the table in my room.
"The second brother rests early, so we won't bother..."
I pulled Candy and turned to walk to the door.
"Girl, this is our house..."
Sugar Candy tugged at my sleeve.
Yes, this is my house.
"Second brother, go back and rest, although the lonely men and widows are brothers and sisters in the middle of the night, how ugly it is to spread out."
Zhan Xiao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot: "Guarding outside." ”
The accompanying guards dragged Sugar Candy out with them.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
There is a saying: as long as you are not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed. I've always known this.
I sincerely sat next to Zhan Xiao, poured myself a glass of water, and touched the letter in my arms by the way.
"Does Your Highness have any orders? Now there are no outsiders, and you can tell me if you have something. ”
"You're going to hit me with the idea."
"No, no, it's not like you told me to look it up myself. I'm self-reliant, come on. ”
The Second Highness took out a letter from his bosom: "Sheng Ge gave it to you." ”
My lips moved, but the lacquer seal on this letter was still intact, and the Second Highness gave it to me without checking it?
"This... Your Highness, let's take a look at it first..."
Zhan Xiao put the letter on the table: "Don't come with me, I'm not interested in things between girls." ”
It seems that Sheng Ge told him not to watch it, which is very good.
I took the letter and smiled at him: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”
"What can I find?"
I nodded: "Zhan Xu said that Shengge had been in Beijing when he was a child, and the two of them met in the palace. ”
"Can Ah Sheng mention it to you?"
"No..."
"Hmmm..." Zhan Xu's fingers began to knock on the table again.
When I thought of Zhan Xu's words, I was a little hesitant to tell him, Zhan Xiao looked at my face that wanted to speak and stopped: "If you have something to say, what are you doing?" ”
Looks like I'm going to have to practice my facial expression control, it's too easy to see through.
"Looking at Zhan Xu's meaning, his desire to take this throne seems to be related to Shengge's childhood..."
"It's okay, how do you deal with it?"
"Pretending to be amnesia·····"
It's not new, it just works.
Zhan Xiao chuckled: "Do you plan to pretend to have amnesia after entering the palace?" ”
What a great idea!
"When people are greatly stimulated, sometimes they will have selective amnesia. I don't think King Zhan Nan doesn't want to dig up that past, amnesia is good for everyone. ”
Zhan Xiao's hand rhythmically tapped on the table, as if thinking about something.
"Then let's lose my memory·····"
"Find a way to see me every night tomorrow, and I'll teach you some self-defense techniques."
I don't have to, I think I'm okay with Bao's teaching.
"If you have a foundation, you can learn faster."
Okay, learn, learn.
After Zhan Xiao left, I took out the note in the bamboo tube of the carrier pigeon from my arms: "Don't take it as an example!" ”
My back is cold, is this Zhan Xiao clever? How would I know I was going to steal carrier pigeons.
Dejected, I opened Shengge's letter to me, and the content of this letter was really...
