Chapter Forty-Six: Xiyi's Visit

"My lord, do you see anything, by the way, don't move the doorknob above, last time I just moved that thing and almost lost my life here." Li Shu said that in front of everyone, Li Shu naturally paid attention to the etiquette of his superiors and subordinates, so he called him an adult.

"I haven't found any mystery for the time being, I'll take a closer look." Ling Yu nodded to show that he understood.

Then Li Shu stopped talking and cautiously guarded Ling Yu's side, while Ling Yu carefully examined the relief pattern on the stone door.

The stone door is open, and there are some reliefs carved on the doors on both sides, which seem to tell some story, except for these reliefs, on the right side of the stone door is the doorknob, that is, the one Li Shu said, and the left side seems to be a mechanism, the whole is square, there are small grids on it, it seems to be a puzzle, Ling Yu feels that if he can solve this puzzle, he can safely open the stone door and see what is inside.

After observing for a while, Ling Yu didn't see anything, because the relief was old, it was already a little difficult to see because of the erosion of the environment.

"Xiao Ling, did you find anything?" Ling Yu asked Xiao Ling Dao in his consciousness, hoping that Xiao Ling could see something.

"Master, Xiao Ling, like you, has no breakthrough discoveries for the time being, but Xiao Ling has already stored the scene here, let me analyze it to see if I can restore the content of the pattern." Xiao Lingdao, for a while, she didn't notice anything different.

"Mouse, I don't see anything, it seems that there will be no results for a while and a half, let's rub the things on this door and go back to study and study, no matter how long we stay here, there will be no results." After a while, Ling Yu thought for a while.

"This is going back? There are so many of us, why don't you forcibly destroy the stone gate? Li Shu asked uncertainly.

"I don't think so, you also touched the mechanism back then, and you almost hung up, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be a more powerful mechanism, it's not worth it to give the lives of your brothers here, and when the research is clear, let's come and open it again, and let people do some cover-up at the entrance of the cave for a while, so that others don't find out." Ling Yu shook his head and said, he knew that there was a lot of mystery here, but Ling Yu had never been reckless.

"Then let's do it." Li Shu said in a deflated manner, he originally wanted to say that there would be a result today, but he just came over to take a look, and he didn't see anything, but he knew that what Ling Yu said was not wrong, the key here was Shimen, rubbing back to study.

Soon, everyone rubbed the contents on the door, and then Li Shu took everyone back the same way, out of the cave, Li Shu took people to cover up at the entrance of the cave, checked even, and felt that it was difficult to be found, Li Shu nodded with satisfaction, and Ling Yu left some marks that only they understood, and took people away.

"I always feel like I'm a snake." On the way, Li Shu pouted.

"Don't be reckless in this matter, the future will be long, have you forgotten the past." Ling Yu said, Li Shu's temperament is still a little anxious, and it seems that he will have to polish it well in the future.

"Forget it, don't talk about it, you have researched the results and tell me, next time you don't have to bring so many people, there is no danger at all." Li Shu complained slightly.

Indeed, except for the incomprehensible stone gate, the other places are extremely safe, and it can even be said that that the location is simply an excellent place to escape and hide, and it took a lot of effort for everyone to find it.

After that, they didn't say anything more, everyone hurried away with peace of mind, and when passing by Lijia Village, Li Shu went back to his house to see his father, Ling Yu naturally followed, and the sergeants arranged to rest at the entrance of the village, Ling Yu was worried that too many people would disturb the villagers if they brought them into the village.

"Brother Yu, Uncle knew back then that you would definitely be promising, and Uncle had a very accurate eye for people." Li Tu was very happy to see his son come back, Li Shu also reported the current situation to Li Tu, when he learned that Li Shu had become an official, he was even more overjoyed, saying that he would keep them for dinner, but there were more than 100 people waiting outside, and they could only refuse.

"Uncle Li, you have always been very accurate in looking at people, by the way, now that the rats are also out of the way, why don't you also go to the capital to live together, so that you can see the rats every day." Ling Yu said with a smile, Li Tu is also an elder he respects very much, and now that his conditions are good, he also hopes that Li Tu can enter the city to live and take care of him in the future.

"Forget it, my old man is used to being in the countryside, but I'm not used to going to the city, and besides, don't I often go to your house when I go to the city to sell pork, and my meat is still supplied by me." Li Tu is living very comfortably now, since Ling Yu became an official, the ingredients of Ling Mansion are all purchased in Lijia Village, in addition to meat and vegetables, the people of Lijia Village have also received some benefits.

"Yes, Dad, Lao Yu's family is very big, you go to live with us, my son is a little small, there are 14 silver coins per month, you don't need to work so hard anymore." Li Shu said proudly, his salary is not low now.

"You kid, you can't spend money anywhere, save it and marry a daughter-in-law in the future, my father is living well here, and I have neighbors as companions, living in the capital, my father must not be bored to death, but if you marry a daughter-in-law as soon as possible and give birth to a grandson for your father, my father will go to live with you." Hearing that Li Shu's salary is so high now, Li Tu was also secretly surprised in his heart, he could almost make so much money by selling meat in a year.

"Ah, Dad, how can you talk about going to your daughter-in-law, Lao Yu often says, how can Beihu be a home if it is not destroyed, and my son thinks so." Li Shu said with the sentence he had learned from Ling Yu. Night Night Chinese

"Oh, you stinky boy, you want to off your dad, don't you? What does Beihu have to do with you getting married? Stinky boy, if you don't find me a daughter-in-law, I... I will deny you as a son. When Li Tu heard this, he was immediately anxious, when will his son get married and have something to do with Beihu, and when Beihu is extinguished, he estimates that the lights will almost go out, and Li Tu still wants to hug his grandson as soon as possible.

"Uh, Dad, I'm talking about playing, don't be angry, don't be angry, I'll find a daughter-in-law, don't worry, wait for my son to save more money, buy a house in the city, and then marry a daughter-in-law, okay? But when the time comes, you can't shirk it, let's stop killing pigs and selling meat, just follow our son to enjoy Qingfu. Li Shu saw that his father was angry, and hurriedly smiled flatteringly.

Ling Yu looked at the father and son with a smile, shook his head and said, "Uncle Li, don't worry, I will keep an eye on the mouse, and make sure not to let him delay." ”

"Hmph, stinky boy, if you have Brother Yu'er half steady, Dad doesn't have to worry about it so much, anyway, I don't care, if you don't find a daughter-in-law to bring back, Dad will help you find a matchmaker to tell you a daughter-in-law." Li Tu didn't have a good airway.

"Dad, just spare me, I was wrong just now, I must do it as soon as possible." Li Shu begged, he had been with Ling Yu for so long, and he was deeply influenced by Ling Yu, although he didn't know what free love was, but he also hoped that he could find the woman he liked as his daughter-in-law.

The three of them chatted for a while, and Ling Yu and the others left on the pretext of handling military affairs, and then returned to the base with the soldiers of the guard company.

"Eh, Brother Ling, where have you gone, I've been waiting for you here for a long time." Ling Yu hurried back to the base, and Zhou Shaobin greeted him.

"Baked cakes, what's the matter with being in such a hurry?" Seeing that Zhou Shaobin was in such a hurry, Ling Yu hurriedly asked.

"My father summoned you, and the eunuch who delivered the decree found me without looking for you, and I hurried to find you." Zhou Shaobin said.

"Your Majesty summoned me? Do you know what? Ling Yu asked.

"I don't know, I just summoned you into the palace, and I didn't say anything." Zhou Shaobin said.

"Let's go, then, what about you? Come with me? Ling Yu asked.

"Well, I'll go with you." Zhou Shaobin was also curious about what was going on, so he also planned to enter the palace with Ling Yu to see what was going on.

As they spoke, they had gotten into the carriage and hurried to the palace.

In the imperial study, after the two of them saw the ceremony, Zhou Zhengxiong said with a solemn face: "Ling Aiqing, I received a note from the Guangzhou Mansion, saying that there was Xiyi who landed in Guangzhou with a big ship and wanted to come to the capital to meet me, and brought some gifts, there are weapons similar to the rifles you made, and some things you haven't made, take a look." After speaking, he motioned for Yucheng to take out the box sent by the Guangzhou Mansion and show it to Ling Yu.

Ling Yu took the box, put it on the coffee table on the side and opened it, what caught his eye was the long front-loading smoothbore gun, a small round thing on the side, and a chain on it, Ling Yu picked it up and saw that it was actually a pocket watch, and the others were some handicrafts, Ling Yu sighed in his heart, how far has this Western country developed?

Put down the pocket watch and pick up the rifle, Ling Yu studied it carefully and breathed a sigh of relief, the performance of this rifle is not as good as the rifle made by Ling Yu at present, and at the same time, Ling Yu has a big alarm bell in his heart, it seems that Western countries have embarked on the road of psionic technology, and they also have a certain industrial capacity, it can be seen from the pocket watch, Ling Yu's pocket watch appeared in 1462 AD, and the earliest front-loading gun appeared in 1300, and now seeing the craftsmanship of these two things, Ling Yu speculated, The West is now in an era similar to Ling Yu's previous voyage, as for how many years Ling Yu is now, Ling Yu does not know, maybe he will know when he sees these Xiyi later.

Ling Yu thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, this rifle is indeed similar to our current psionic rifle, but the power is not as good as ours, so Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much, even if this gun is not their most advanced psionic technology product, we will not be much worse, as for this small object, it is called a pocket watch, and the timekeeping method is similar to the timekeeping method that my Da Zhou uses now." "Probably because this world is a world that has been modified by the time-travelers, the methods of calculating time in the Eastern and Western countries are similar, but the calendars are different.

Zhou Zhengxiong breathed a sigh of relief, when he first saw this gun, Zhou Zhengxiong was not to mention how frightened, he knew how powerful the rifle made by Ling Yu was, if this was a weapon like Xiyidu, then Da Zhou would be dangerous, but he was still vigilant in his heart, in case his enemies could get such a weapon from Xiyi, it would be even more difficult to destroy them.

He was convinced of Ling Yu's words, since Ling Yu said that the power was not as good, then he was much more relieved, and said with a straight face: "Ling Aiqing, then I will allow these Xiyi to enter the Jingmian Saint, and you will receive them." Zhou Zhengxiong subconsciously handed over this task to Ling Yu.

"This ...... Your Majesty, Weichen wants to train his troops and study new equipment. Ling Yu said with a bitter face, he has no experience in diplomacy.

"It's okay, I will order Honglu Temple to cooperate with you, and leave the trivial matters to them, as for the communication, you will be in charge." Zhou Zhengxiong reacted and found that he had indeed added too much burden to Ling Yu, after all, Ling Yu already had a lot of things, so he let Ling Yu grasp the key points, and let Honglu Temple deal with the rest.

"Uh, okay, Wechen obeys." Seeing this, Ling Yu knew that he couldn't refuse, and besides, he also wanted to see and understand the Western countries in this world, so he agreed.
