Under the city of Sindo, .com saw that it was about to get dark, and the little Bolu king Su lost his life and disappeared, refusing to show his face, and his previous promise to pass was thrown into the air.

"I've had enough, I don't care, I'm going to live in the city today anyway." The sound of the princess's angry scolding rang in Molosang's ears, driving him mad.

"Damn Sue lost!" Molobsang had the urge to attack the city, especially when he looked up at the walls.

"Tell you, king, that if we don't open the gates of the city again, we will go back, and he will bear the consequences. Next time, I won't bother you, the brave and invincible Tibetan elite will open the city gate for me. ”

Standing at the head of the city, the little Bolu people felt the ferocity of the Tubo people and the threat of Chiguoguo.

At the critical moment, Su Chengli stood on the head of the city: "Oh, who did I say, it turned out to be the respected Tubo ambassador, Xiao Wang was just drunk, and he didn't deliberately snub the envoy of the kingdom, I will open the door, this will open the door, and the noble envoy should not be angry." ”

Seeing that Su was defeated and softened, Mo Luosang's anger subsided a lot, and he waited for the city gate to open under the city. But after a long time, the gates were still closed, and there was no sign of moving.

"Sue lost, are you fooling me? Think our Tibetan scimitar is not sharp enough? ”

The outburst of anger made dozens of pigtails on Mo Luosang's head stand up to the sky.

Su Chengli showed his face again on the head of the city, and said with a wry smile: "Oh, don't be angry, it's not that I don't want to open the city gate, it's just that the people in the city are worried, you have so many people, they are afraid, they all disobey the order, Xiao Wang, I am also very embarrassed." ”

Mo Losang's tone was non-negotiable: "That's your business, you promised to let us go in the first place." You just have to watch and do it, whether you want to fight or make peace, you decide for yourself. ”

"This, this, Xiao Wang really didn't know that there were so many people coming. Not smaller than Tubo, the city ruled by Xiao Wang, can not accommodate so many people of the noble envoy, you see, it is getting late, or, the noble envoy and the princess and other advanced cities, the army rests outside the city for a night, how about crossing the city tomorrow? ”

Sue's defeat looked quite difficult.

Mo Luosang didn't expect that Su was not only greedy, but also so cunning, and actually wanted to take the princess as a hostage, and he was very angry in his heart, but it was not easy to attack. At the beginning of spring this year, the war between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty was not going well, and Zampu had high expectations for the marriage with the Tuqi Shi Sulu Khan, and repeatedly told him not to delay the schedule, if there was any mistake, he would not be able to eat and walk around. Forget it, let's talk about it in the city, little Bolu, forgive them and don't dare to do anything to the princess, just pretend to be confused, otherwise, the princess will not be easy to explain.

Mo Luosang snorted and said, "I'll ask the princess first, and you wait for me." ”

The arrogant Dolma didn't have so much thought, she was soaked in sweat for days, her whole body was salty, and she couldn't wait to go into the city to fight the sweat and mud on her body. The terrain of Tibet is high, the weather is not so hot, the local people usually have the habit of soup bathing, once they get off the plateau, they can not adapt to the hot climate, the soldiers are barely passable, but the noble princess can not be so willing, the sound of the river is constantly tempting her.

Under the impatient urging of the princess, a Tibetan procession of nearly 100 people entered the city of Sindo, and more than 3,000 troops were forced to stay outside the city, waiting for tomorrow's crossing of the city.

The scorching summer heat wave also hit Ningyuan City, which was thousands of miles away.

In the city of Ningyuan, tens of thousands of strong slaves and people from the Guangming Department were sweating to build cities and houses. Their enthusiasm is as high as the temperature of summer, and the "city lord" General Ning Yuan said that the day the city is completed is the time when their fate changes, and all slaves who have been recognized by the Ministry of Civil Affairs can be exempted and officially become citizens. Those who are already members of the tribe will be given the pasture and the civil houses in the city according to the detailed rules for rewards and punishments formulated by the Ministry of Civil Affairs formulated by Umeng. If a newly "converted" slave wanted to receive the same treatment, he would have to pay extra, for example, by participating in the construction of the Yellowstone Fort in the Alai Valley.

After nearly four months of hard work, the fruits of the hard work of tens of thousands of people are being felt. The four walls of Ningyuan City rise from the ground on the relatively flat plateau, which is more than two zhang high, according to Master Lu said, this height has surpassed the city wall of Chang'an City. In the city, the construction of private houses has been completed for ten squares, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and before the arrival of winter, all the people will be protected from the wind and snow by the strong houses.

Human creativity is inconceivable as long as the conditions are right.

The construction of Ningyuan City is a huge and arduous project, in the process of construction, the various difficulties encountered are innumerable, in order to cope with the problems faced, Lu master craftsmen gathered the strength and wisdom of almost all craftsmen, and crossed one hurdle after another.

Thanks to the united efforts of the craftsmen, many various mechanical tools were manufactured, and even created. Among them, there are pulleys and pulleys that are erected at the top of the city wall, wheelbarrows for transportation, and the most exaggerated is the hydraulic stone-breaking wheel. There are also a wide range of digging tools and small objects for surveying.

What Li Huaitang was most interested in was the pulley that was fixed to the city wall, with such a thing, the speed of transporting stones and sanhe soil to the city head increased wildly, and at the same time, a lot of manpower was saved, and there was also the large stone that was so heavy that it was difficult for people to move, and it seemed to be light under this wheel. Excited, Li Huaitang put forward an "idea" that made Master Lu quite impulsive to jump over the wall: make the city wall two feet higher!

"It can't be any higher, four zhang is already the limit. No matter how high it is, the wall base will not be able to withstand it. Four zhang is tall enough, you must know that Chang'an City is only two zhang high. ”

Lu Dajiang depressedly rejected Li Huaitang's suggestion.

"Are you sure?"

Li Huaitang was a little disappointed and a little proud. The city in the center of the world is only two zhang, but his Ningyuan City is twice as large, and its pride and pride are self-evident.

Master Lu nodded seriously, and then said with a wry smile: "Yes, it's true." After Ningyuan City is repaired, I, Master Lu, will not be able to return to Datang, and if I am denounced, I will be punished for trespassing. ”

"Haha, don't worry, one day, I'll lead the soldiers to rescue you."

Li Huaitang patted Master Lu's shoulder and smiled.

Master Lu didn't care, and said: "The general's words are serious, my Master Lu is just a humble craftsman." Just joking, on the day Ningyuan City was built, this was my home, and I won't leave again. ”

Li Huaitang said solemnly: "As long as he is a member of the Ministry of Light, I have the responsibility to protect him, not because of his identity." Besides, craftsmen are not inferior people here, I prefer to call them craftsmen, you are the backbone and backbone of the entire Ministry of Light, without you, no one has the ability and strength to support Ningyuan City. Remember, you are craftsmen, and your treatment is destined to be a cut above the average people, if nothing else, because you are great, respected craftsmen. ”

"In the future, I will attract more craftsmen to Ningyuan City, construction, papermaking, spinning, weaving, winemaking, smelting, etc., which will be a paradise for craftsmen."

Li Huaitang's longing made Master Lu's eyes shine, and a better future was stepping into his eyes, hey, why did God favor me so much, and send Mei Jiao Niang so soon?

Master Lu shook his head, and when he looked at it, An Luo'er, who was dressed in military uniform, was walking towards him. Master Lu smiled regretfully and said, "General, An Xiaoniang is coming to you." ”

Hearing this, Li Huaitang turned his gaze sideways and saw a twisted figure.

"Lord, General, the crossbow arrows are used up, my sister said, let you figure out a way."

has been with Ye Ji for a long time, An Luo'er also likes Ye Ji very much, the left sister, the right sister, called very affectionately, Ye Ji didn't see her, but it made Xiao Fenniang a little embarrassed in terms of title.

Actually, An Luo'er didn't want to come, there was no way, the short arrows dedicated to the hand crossbow were exhausted, most of them were lost during training, and some were broken. As Ye Ji's personal soldier, who else can come if she doesn't come, and those who can communicate with Li Huaitang dare not come, but Shawa, who can't understand Li Huaitang's words, wants to come.

"Wouldn't it? You are at war! ”

Li Huaitang was puzzled by how the short crossbow arrows used for training had become a fast consumable.

Since the Armed Courtyard began to operate again, the main work is to make all kinds of arrows. After preparing hundreds of crossbow arrows for the female cavalry last time, Li Huaitang did not let Gong Wulang continue, and devoted most of his energy to the manufacture of longbows and bows and arrows.

This area is a region for the production of Zhemu, and in the mountains, there are many of these slow-growing, surprisingly hard trees, which are made of the finest wood for making longbows. Gong Wulang occasionally found this kind of wood among the timber transported back, and wasted no time in asking Li Huaitang to occupy all the woods that belonged to Master Lu and use them all to make longbows.

Li Huaitang, who was suffering from the lack of equipment for the strong bow, was overjoyed and immediately approved Gong Wulang's request. Gong Wulang did not disappoint Li Huaitang, and in just one month, he delivered the first batch of 500 longbows and tens of thousands of feather arrows to Li Huaitang, the quality was quite good, and a large number of finished products followed.

Li Huaitang, who tasted the sweetness, was out of control, allocated more manpower to Gong Wulang, and ordered him to continue to make persistent efforts, and Gong Wulang, who was encouraged, also worked hard. As a result, both forgot about the short crossbow arrows needed for the female cavalry.

"Forget it, another day, another day, I'll definitely ask Gong Wulang to send it to you."

Li Huaitang just wanted to send the little lady in front of him away quickly.

Li Huaitang's cramped and uneasy made An Luo'er more energetic, and she said unrelentingly: "No, my sister said, I must have a little tomorrow, otherwise I won't be able to train." ”

"Well, okay, let's go, go to the armed courtyard."

Seeing that he couldn't hide, Li Huaitang was also very simple.

The smug look was revealed on An Luo'er's pretty face, and even made her forget the heat and the beads of sweat flowing on her face, she deliberately wanted to embarrass Li Huaihe, seeing Li Huaitang deflated in front of her, a sense of comfort arose again......
