In the past few days, Xiao Mo has been busy with the research and development of gunpowder.

And for a while, Wang Ziyao came to visit, and for a while, it was Han Baohu's fooling, which made Xiao Mo a little careless.

If it weren't for Xiao Mo's visit to the garden at this time, Xiao Mo estimated that he wouldn't be able to remember borrowing Zhiqing from Yun Yuhan for a while.

Zhiqing's mental changes in the past two days are also a little complicated, although the accommodation and food are very good. Especially the food, Zhiqing swore that she had never eaten such a delicious meal in her life.

But since that day, Young Master Xiao brought himself back, and then, as if he had forgotten himself, he was busy with other things. Zhiqing went from initial excitement and anticipation to a faint loss, and soon after it escalated to a grievance, and finally to a grudge.

If Zhiqing hadn't heard that some soldiers had surrounded the restaurant today, she would have been very anxious and came out to take a look. It's really not necessarily possible to meet Xiao Mo, in that case, I don't know how many days it will take to be remembered.

At this time, Zhiqing looked at Xiao Mo with the appearance of a leisurely son, followed by two pretty little maidservants. Zhiqing was not only resentful in her heart, but tears were about to fall.

Xiao Mo saw that when Zhiqing saw him, it was quite normal at first, but at this moment it seemed that his eyes were red and tears were about to fall. Xiao Mo's head was bigger.

Xiao Mo immediately showed a smile that he thought was very hearty and said to Zhiqing: "That, Miss Zhiqing, look at my memory, it's really!" It is so rude to forget about you in the past two days, and to delay your precious time, it really makes me feel guilty, and I examine myself. ”

Zhiqing listened to the left hand half on her right hand, put it on her waist, bent down shallowly and bowed her head, and saluted Xiao Mo and said: "The slave maid has seen Young Master Xiao, Young Master Xiao is busy with affairs, and the slave maid can save it." ”

Zhiqing said this, but her heart was really sad, didn't she see Young Master Xiao leisurely in the garden, how could she really remember that she was such a little maid, or a maid from a place of wind and dust.

Xiao Mo was already a little ashamed in his heart, and when he looked at Zhiqing like this, he felt even more uncomfortable.

Seeing that Zhiqing was still bending down and bowing her head as if she was unwilling to get up, Xiao Mo hurriedly grabbed Zhiqing's shoulders with both hands and straightened Zhiqing.

It's okay if you don't help it, this help, Zhiqing's neck turned pink with a brush.

At this time, the lunar calendar is close to May, although the climate at this time is generally cooler than in later generations, and there is no greenhouse effect at all.

But it is true that it is early summer, and the women of the Great Sui Dynasty are still relatively open, and there is no saying of the Three Platforms and Five Constants, not to mention that Zhiqing has lived in Sihailou since she was a child, and she naturally wears thinner. There was only a thin layer of gauze on the shoulders.

Xiao Mo helped him like this, which was equivalent to touching Zhiqing's fragrant shoulder with his hand. Although this year was not as strict as the Song Dynasty, men and women were not harmed. But it's definitely not so open that it's okay to even touch someone's fragrant shoulder. In later generations, such behavior was a bit excessive.

Xiao Mo looked at Zhiqing's pink neck, and immediately felt that something was wrong, Xiao Mo was not a fool who didn't know anything, and he secretly scolded himself for being a pig brain at this time.

Zhiqing was also so hand-picked by Xiao Mo, she didn't know how to do it, her head was lowered deeper, and her eyes didn't dare to look at Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo couldn't help but take his hand away instantly, and said in a haha round: "Oh, it's really windy today, let's go to the house to talk." ”

As soon as these words came out, combined with Xiao Mo's previous actions, it really had to make people not want to be crooked, it was not enough to talk like this? Still going to the house to talk? You can touch people's shoulders here, and when you enter the house, you are alone, who knows what kind of beast you will do.

Zhiqing was even more embarrassed at this time. Even the two girls behind Xiao Mo, Zi Ling Ziyi, felt the strong wind that didn't move the tips of the trees in the yard, and their little faces turned red.

Xiao Mo also realized that his words were ambiguous, and immediately said: "That's not what you mean, Miss Zhiqing, don't get me wrong, I mean to find a place to talk about singing and dancing, and I will count on you on the day the restaurant opens." ”

Zhiqing nodded, but her neck was still pink.

Xiao Mo is palms are cold sweat, it is really not easy to deal with women in these years.

Xiao Mo exhaled, and then asked Zi Ling and Zi Yi to prepare and make a wide and bright room out.

In the past few days, I have been busy with gunpowder and Qi Yu. Xiao Mo even forgot that his original intention was to open a restaurant to make money, and then he forgot to eat and wait for death.

Now that everything is on the right track, Xiao Mo can be regarded as having free time.

It's May. At that time, Zhiqing will definitely go back to Sihailou to assist Yun Yuhan, and the song and dance of the opening of her restaurant will be grander when she beats the drums and picks the flowers. If you don't hurry up here, you can't do it, and other girls won't wait for you all the time.

Moreover, Xiao Mo estimated that in the past two days, Sihailou would definitely send a large number of petals that colorful butterflies liked.

This extraction of flower juice, distillation of juice, is not a simple matter. Xiao Mo couldn't help but think, since he had worked so hard to attract colorful butterflies, should he do some cheating when the time came?

But then again, Xiao Mo's next two days were really enjoyable, and he looked like a laid-back boy.

Early in the morning, there is a human alarm clock called Zi Ling to wake him up, and then he serves and washes; When it comes to the meal, there is a special meal prepared by Xiaoya; In my free time, except for occasionally supervising the production of gunpowder, the rest is to teach Zhiqing to sing and dance.

This is not so much teaching Zhiqing to sing and dance, but rather appreciating, this girl's talent in singing and dancing is definitely not weak, Xiao Mo only needs to say what she thinks, this girl can basically do it perfectly, and she can also draw inferences from some things that have been popular this year.

Of course, there are some things that make Xiao Mo very annoyed. This is all due to the two masters of the Han family.

Old man Han was now staring at Xiao Mo all day long, trying to pry out some secret of praying for rain or military expenses from Xiao Mo's mouth, or some other useful information.

As soon as Han Baohu met, he laughed and said that he would let Xiao Mo go to the military camp with him to join the army and become a real man.

But fortunately, the two of them are quite restrained and have not moved.

Xiao Mo is naturally very leisurely, but he doesn't know that the people of Luodu are not calm on this day.

Early in the morning, the gate of Luodu City was opened, and the soldiers on the city tower were twice as many as usual, all of them carrying bright broadswords and wearing armor.

The strangest thing is that Lord Luoyang Ling Yihan, who is usually not seen at all, is also dressed in armor, and he waited at the gate of the city early in the morning.

It wasn't until near noon that the sound of horses' hooves was heard outside the city, and the sound was not small. This was followed by the sound of the crowd's running footsteps and the clatter of iron armor.

Then, not long after, in front of the eyes of the curious people of Luodu, a troop of cavalry appeared, and this cavalry was not very numerous, only a few dozen horsemen.

But these dozens of cavalrymen were all uniformly armoured, with a white feather stuck in their helmets. Covered in blood. The sabers of these cavalrymen were also a little strange, narrow and long, with some silver notches on them, but they couldn't be seen clearly from a distance, and only some bright reflections could be seen.

The horses under the crotches of these strange soldiers knew at a glance that they were the finest war horses, not camel horses or pull horses, these war horses were tall and mighty, and they ran all the way, and the sweat on their bodies rolled down like pearls and dripped on the ground. But the wheezing sound was very small, very small, and it didn't seem to be tired at all.

Immediately behind these cavalry, there were some ordinary infantry, with no characteristics and no bloody aura, and at a glance they knew that this was just a standing garrison outside the city of Luodu.

At this time, an obscene man in a restaurant next to him asked his companion strangely

"Old Wang, why did so many soldiers suddenly enter the city? You're well-informed, tell me what's going on. ”

"Isn't this the Dragon Boat Festival soon, probably to ensure the safety of the drum and picking flowers! Isn't it strange to transfer the garrison, isn't it every year? ”

"Why didn't you see cavalry when you could move the garrison before? Is there cavalry in the Luodu garrison? ”

"It's really a little strange for you to say this, and I really haven't heard that there are cavalry in the Luodu garrison, cavalry is the most precious, and it is usually stationed on the border or killing enemies on the battlefield. And I hadn't seen Master Han come to the city gate early in the morning to wait for the garrison to enter the city. ”

"Lao Wang, have you noticed, these dozens of cavalry are so angry, I am a little panicked when I look at it."

"Haha, which little girly skin did you go to yesterday again, right? Look at your void! ”

Just as the two were talking, on another table in the restaurant, a man dressed as a scribe frowned and said to a handsome man in white robe at the same table

"Brother Jiang, something is wrong with the situation! If I'm not mistaken, those dozens of horsemen should be the Yulin Army, right? Why did the Yulin Army come to Luodu for no reason? Could it be that the Great Sui has a descendant royal family in Luodu at the moment? ”

The handsome man also frowned slightly and said: "It is indeed the Yulin Army of the Great Sui, and looking at this momentum and saber, it is not an ordinary Yulin Army, it should be the personal guard of the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui and the internal guard of the Yulin Army." ”

The man dressed as a scribe was puzzled when he heard this: "It is said that the internal guards of the Great Sui Yulin Army, each of whom is a master of martial arts, generally only stays in the imperial city and protects the royal family, how can they come to Luodu for no reason?" Could it be that the Emperor of the Great Sui is now in Luodu? Or is it the prince of the Great Sui? ”

The handsome man shook his head and said, "No way!" The internal guards of the Yulin Army are secretly personal guards when they travel, if it is really as you said, there is a prince here, these internal guards of the Yulin Army will never appear like this.

These Yulin Army internal guards should have a purpose. ”

The man dressed as a scribe couldn't help but hesitate: "Brother Jiang, you and I are sensitive, and at this time, the internal guards of the Yulin Army have arrived in Luodu. Otherwise, I won't show up first, what do you think? ”
