Chapter 57: The Bed Crossbow Appears

Xue Lang naturally wouldn't know about the affairs of the court, and at this time he was in his listening courtyard, squinting and enjoying the benefits of wisdom-

Bean sprouts!

That's right! After a few days of growth, the sprouts are finally ready to eat!

According to Xue Lang's taste, Xiuniang scalded it with water and gave him a plate of cold mix-

Cold bean sprouts, stir-fried mutton, fish head tofu soup!

Xue Lang is very satisfied with this dish! Even if Her Royal Highness the princess had a pig slaughtered and sent it, it would not affect his comfortable mood after eating.

That's right! Since Her Royal Highness the Princess ate Xue Langjin's delicacies cooked with pork, she only lightly praised the delicacy on her face, and she didn't seem to like it much, but when she turned around, Her Royal Highness the noble and indifferent Princess immediately sent someone a pig that had been killed-

Do you know how it feels to come home from work and be hit head-on by a fat pig lying flat in the courtyard, with his eyes still open, and obviously dead?

and the poor servants in his courtyard, who were obviously frightened, and when he went home, they all greeted him with a bewildered face. On the contrary, Xue Lang was calmed down by everyone's bewilderment, and he suddenly felt happy.

Not only was the pig killed, but even the water was left behind, waiting for Xue Lang to deal with it! This kind of consciousness of not treating himself as an outsider at all, compared with the indifferent appearance of Her Royal Highness the Princess, is really a bit of a contrast and cute.

Her Royal Highness the princess is slightly cute!

Xue Lang's weird cuteness and aesthetics.

The fat pig bought by Her Royal Highness the princess is full of fat three fingers wide and full of color. A few pieces of oil were thick, Xue Lang accepted it unceremoniously and asked Xiuniang to boil the oil.

Then he commanded Ah Chen, Wan Fu, and Chang Jian to divide the meat and wash the intestines. The pieces of meat are tossed with seasonings and marinated overnight, leaving the stuffed sausages.

After getting these, he sent three dishes to Her Royal Highness the Princess on the same day, and received her Royal Highness's tactful praise.

The mood was pleasant, but the weather was a little strange, getting colder and colder, gloomy, and vaguely seemed to be snowing. It was so cold that Xue Lang, a person who came from the global warming climate, put away modern clothes inside, and put on a fur made by Her Royal Highness the princess outside, so that he could bear the cold.

The sudden drop in temperature caused Her Royal Highness the Princess to convene a second plenary meeting. Xue Lang had to throw away the work at hand and brought a bunch of ingredients over early-

There is a charcoal basin in the main hall of Her Royal Highness the Princess, which is much warmer than the outside, but because the room is open and wide, and I am afraid of carbon monoxide poisoning, the doors and windows are open, but it is actually still cold.

Her Royal Highness the princess stood tall and jade, standing by the window alone, and when she saw Xue Lang coming, she turned around-

"Your Highness, morning."

"Youyang came so early? They are ......"

Her Royal Highness looked at Lamei, Hexiang and Xiuniang behind Xue Lang suspiciously, and all three of them were carrying big food boxes. Xue Lang said: "The pork sent by His Royal Highness hasn't been eaten yet, I asked Xiuniang to fry some meatballs yesterday, and I will wait for my colleagues to come to the meeting later, let Xiuniang make meatball soup, put a lot of green onions and ginger, and give everyone a drink to ward off the cold." ”

Her Royal Highness the princess said approvingly: "Youyang is thoughtful! In the first snow, take Xiuniang and them to find the East Festival wine. ”

"Whoa!"

Chu Xue took Xiu Niang and them down.

Xue Lang asked, "Your Highness is worried about the war in Zhaozhou?" ”

Princess Pingyang nodded: "It seems that the weather seems to have heavy snow, the city is surrounded by water, Liu Heimin is besieging the city in recent days, if there is heavy snow, it is not good for the people to reinforce the city, I am afraid that the city will have an accident." ”

Her Royal Highness the Princess's military talent is really good!

According to historical records, because of this heavy snowfall, the Tang army could not be reinforced, and Li Shimin's fierce general Luo Shixin was defeated and killed, and the city of Zhushui briefly fell to the hands of Liu Heimin. However, four days later, the city was snatched back by Li Shimin. It looked like it had only been lost for four days, but this battle was a hard battle because of the heavy snow.

Xue Lang had also read the military report from Li Shimin, and he also knew the progress of the war. He said: "The sky changes from time to time, that is, when the leading commander is tested, with the ability of King Qin, even if he suffers a loss for a while, he can get it back if he wants to." Moreover, the so-called crisis means that there is no shortage of opportunities in danger. With the ability of King Qin, he will definitely be able to come up with a countermeasure. ”

"Is there no shortage of opportunities in danger in crisis? Youyang often has vigilant words, which are deafening. ”

Princess Pingyang nodded, although there was still a look of worry in her eyebrows, but she obviously believed in her younger brother Li Shimin like Xue Lang.

Xue Lang was embarrassed to be praised: "Your Highness, this is not what your subordinates said, but what everyone on the side of the flower planter said, I just quoted it." ”

Xue Lang is quite honest at times. Her Royal Highness the princess couldn't help but change the topic: "The weather suddenly deteriorates, will there be changes in the cultivation of sweet potato seedlings?" ”

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, your subordinates have made preparations early. The outdoor ones are covered with thick thatch to keep out the cold, and the indoor sweet potatoes are also protected from the cold. ”

"Youyang does things, I am relieved."

The two talked about work. Her Royal Highness the princess suddenly asked, "Are they okay with the buns?" Youyang has been busy with affairs today, I'm afraid I don't have time to accompany them anymore, right? Steamed buns, but there are buns and they go out hunting? ”

Xue Lang said: "Recently, Wanfu has been taking care of them, and I just go out for a walk every day when I have free time." I didn't let me go hunting again, and now it's spring, and it's easy to hunt and hit the cubs, so I still don't go. ”

After chatting a few words, the subordinates finally came, but after a while, everyone came. Her Royal Highness the princess asked everyone to sit down and said, "The weather is cold, let you come early in the morning, it's hard work!" First snow. ”

"Whoa!"

The first snow immediately went out. Her Royal Highness the princess said: "The Eastern Sacrifice Wine has prepared a bowl of broth, and everyone has drunk it first to drive away the cold. ”

A woman about thirty years old immediately came up with a steaming soup of meatballs. This is the first time Xue Lang has seen the East Sacrifice Wine Lady, and he thought that he was at least forty years old, but he couldn't imagine being so young! was called the eldest mother at such a young age, doesn't that mean that when he reaches that age, he will be called uncle?!

it! Fearful antiquity!

Xue Lang's thinking diverged again! Fortunately, a maid brought him balls and soup, and finally pulled his divergent thinking back!

The meatball soup has been well received by everyone, but no one dislikes it because it is pork, and also, except for a superficial woman like Mozhu, who would lower her status because of eating a meal of pork, it can only be said that Mozhu's brain circuit is different from ordinary people.

The meatball soup was used to dispel the cold air of the whole body, and everyone began to deliberate. Xue Lang is basically responsible for listening, and the things he is in charge of have nothing to do with the war in Yuzhou City for the time being.

Her Royal Highness asked for a while, and then asked, "How many bed crossbows have been made?" ”

"Back to the general, only two were made, and one of them was miscalculated and scrapped."

"Send it to the people of the world first, and send craftsmen to follow."

"Whoa!"

The three-bow compound bed crossbow is going to participate in the battle of Zhaozhou?!

Xue Lang couldn't help but think about it-

According to historical records, Li Shimin and Liu Heimin confronted each other for more than 60 days, that is, more than two months. Calculating the time, Li Shimin led his troops to Lishui at the end of January, and it has been nearly a month now.

Because of the impact of the upcoming heavy snowfall, the city of Zhaozhou is about to fall into the hands of Liu Heimin. I don't know if there is a three-bow compound bed crossbow, whether it will change the situation and let Li Shimin end the battle of the water as soon as possible.

Xue Lang is looking forward to it!
