The sunset is like fire, and the reflection in the water seems to burn the huge ship on the water.

On both sides of the river, many people gathered, and they watched the dragon boat from a distance through the iron horses on war horses. Their eyes were not amazed, but more like looking at a lonely tomb.

The dragon boat is extremely magnificent, 45 feet high, 200 feet long, there are thousands of people at the foot of the temple that pulls the boat on both sides of the strait alone, such a behemoth, no matter what angle you look at, it has nothing to do with the lonely grave.

Moreover, the Xiangqiao that Empress Xiao is riding, the giant ship known as the "floating view" nine halls, and the thousands of ships with various names of "White Tiger" and "Xuanwu", like the stars holding the moon, surround Yang Guang's dragon boat in the middle, where can you see the word "lonely"?

In addition to the dragon boat and the big ship of hundreds of civil and military officials, there are more than 1,000 ships carrying materials, and nearly 1,500 ships such as the "Green Dragon" on which the twelve guards are ridden.

The wind rose suddenly, the water was turbulent, and it crashed against the side of the ship, making a loud noise. The guards on the ship stood still like sculptures, ignoring Wang Airen, who boarded the dragon boat.

Wang Airen was neatly dressed and his expression was indifferent. After boarding the dragon boat, he did not rush into the main hall, but stopped in place, watched the sunset gradually disappear, and then sighed and walked into the hall with great righteousness.

The dragon boat has four floors, the first floor is the residence of the palace maid, the second and third floors are rooms, golden and green, carved and beautiful, Wang Airen lowered his head and walked directly to the fourth floor.

The fourth floor is the place where Yang Guang went to the court and slept, which is divided into the main hall, the inner hall, and the east and west courts.

After the chamberlain made the report, Wang Airen saw the holy chariot in the inner temple.

"If you want to say something, I don't want to hear it, so I advise you not to say it." Yang Guang held a pen in his hand, stood up, and painted the scenery outside on the fine rice paper.

"Wechen has the grace of His Majesty, and it is the responsibility of Wechen to serve as a Fengxin Lang, and it is the responsibility of Wechen to advise His Majesty." Wang Airen bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, have you seen the scene outside the window?" ”

Yang Guang put down the pen, glanced out the window, and said lightly: "What do you want me to see?" ”

"Can't Your Majesty see the smoke in the distance?" Wang Airen seemed to look down on life and death, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, thieves are rampant now, and Weichen implores Your Majesty to return to Beijing." ”

"I thought that Cui Minxiang's death would shut you up, but I didn't expect you to have the courage to stand up." Yang Guang praised and said, "I ask you, if you are willing to sacrifice your life for the stability of the world?" ”

Wang Airen smiled miserably and replied: "The king wants his ministers to die, how dare Weichen live." However, please also ask Your Majesty to take into account the overall situation and return to Beijing to preside over the government. ”

Yang Guang ignored Wang Airen, he walked to the window, and the breeze blew, messing up his hair.

"Cui Aiqing's death is not in vain, as for you, it will be remembered for eternity." Yang Guang stood quietly for a moment, and said without looking back: "Come on, drag Wang Airen out and behead him, remember, don't dirty my dragon boat!" ”

The guards waiting outside the hall couldn't help but shudder, they didn't understand why the two had a good chat, and His Majesty suddenly wanted to kill Lord Wang.

But the king's order could not be violated, so they could only pretend to be indifferent and walked to Wang Airen's side, ready to set him up.

"Weichen said that the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers are willing to die." Wang Airen shook off the hands of the two guards and continued: "I hope that the head and blood of Weichen can arouse His Majesty's love for the people. With that, he turned and walked out of the hall. The two guards saluted Yang Guang and chased after him.

Yang Guang showed hesitation on his face, and it wasn't until the two guards disappeared that he took a long breath and said to himself: "I have been planning for so long, I can't let anyone find out the clues, your family, I will send someone to take good care of it." His voice was very light and faint, drowned in the sound of water, and he didn't even hear Li Quanzhi, who was standing in the distance.

Feng Xinlang Wang Airen, concealed that thieves were rampant, offended Long Yan, was beheaded, and his body was thrown into the water, allowing fish and shrimp to peck at him.

This news spread like the wind to every corner of the Great Sui, and I don't know how many courtiers' hearts were cold.

When the news reached Dongjun, it was already August, in addition to Wang Airen's beheading, there was also news that also spread to the north, that is, Gao Liangtong guarded Xiyao and raised an army. In addition, a few days ago, Feng Lingren and Sun Hua gathered a crowd to be thieves, and Da Sui was really devastated.

When Zhang Xutuo knew these news, he sighed for a long time, and then kept wiping his armor in the camp tent, and he didn't leave for a whole day, and even saved food.

Although Qin Qiong and the others also felt helpless, but this kind of thing, after all, was not something they should consider, as usual, they had food, training, and rest, and they didn't know anything.

At the beginning of August, the sun is shining and the breeze is refreshing with fresh earth.

An old war horse was tied up and erected, and a group of Praetorian Guards surrounded Li Xuanba, Xiao Xiao, and a blacksmith in the middle, so that outsiders didn't know what they were doing.

"Childe, is this iron lump really useful?" Lieutenant Xiao said suspiciously: "Why hasn't the villain heard that this method can extend the life of the war horse?" ”

Li Xuanba stared nervously at the blacksmith's movements, perhaps to relieve his emotions, he glanced at Captain Xiao and said, "How many books have you read?" This is the method that Ben Gongzi accidentally discovered after reading thousands of books. ”

Captain Xiao shrank his head aggrievedly and said, "Childe, how can you laugh at the villain like this." ”

Li Xuanba knew that Captain Xiao was extremely thick-skinned, and compared to Li Gou, he was even better, so he ignored him, and said to the sweaty blacksmith: "Blacksmith Liu, don't worry, study slowly." ”

Blacksmith Liu wiped his sweat, turned his head and smiled at Li Xuanba, his smile was full of bitterness, his afterglow swept to the Praetorian Guards standing in a circle, and said in his heart: "At this time, how can I not be nervous. ”

Of course, these words are just said in his heart, and Blacksmith Liu turned back and continued to study, and for a while he took the iron piece and made a gesture on the horse's hooves, and then touched the horse's hooves, repeating it many times, and finally couldn't help asking: "Childe, can this iron lump really be nailed directly on?" ”

"Probably can, right?" Li Xuanba said as if asking: "Why don't you try?" ”

The iron bump in the hands of the blacksmith Liu is actually the so-called horseshoe in later generations, Li Xuanba saw that after the red flame ran, the horse's hooves were easily damaged, so he remembered that there was no horsehoe yet, so he found someone in the city to build a few pairs. But he only knows about this thing, and he knows how to use it.

The tied up war horse is already old, and the soldiers will always waste grain and grass to raise it only out of respect, and now it is borrowed by Li Xuanba for experiments, but it is also used to the fullest.

Blacksmith Liu gritted his teeth, and asked Captain Xiao to hold the horse's hooves steady, and then nailed the horseshoe up. The war horse seemed to be unaware of it, and was still lying there honestly.

"My lord, it seems that you can really do it." Blacksmith Liu observed, and saw that the war horse did not bleed or in pain, and said happily.

Li Xuanba was also very happy, nodded, and said, "Just in case, you nailed the other three as well." ”

Blacksmith Liu's practice makes perfect, and he quickly nailed the four horseshoe palms up, and then Captain Xiao untied the rope, and after the war horse stood up, there was nothing uncomfortable.

Li Xuanba was happy, and let Captain Xiao run around on horseback before he made up his mind.

After nailing the horseshoe for Chiyan, Li Xuanba called the blacksmith Liu to his side, gave him a lot of silver, and said to him: "You moved to Xingyang with your family, or make a living by striking iron, by the way, help me build four thousand horseshoes, what is given to you now is just a deposit, remember, this matter can only be done by yourself, if the news leaks, hum!" After Li Xuanba finished speaking, he made a gesture of cutting off his head.

Blacksmith Liu happily took the money and silver, and swore a gambling curse: "The villain must keep it secret for the adult, and even the family will not tell it, and I hope the adult can rest assured." ”
