The room was slightly dim, with only a small window near the door, and after standing at the door for a while, he set sail inside.

There was a man in the room, sitting at the table and fiddling with some wooden blocks and sticks, and he didn't even lift his head when Yuanhang came in, so Yuanhang couldn't see his appearance clearly.

Yuanhang walked over without speaking, pulled over a stool, sat across from him, and looked at the object in his hand.

The table is surrounded by wooden strips into a frame, and there are several wooden blocks placed horizontally and vertically inside. It's just a little rough, could it be that Huarong Dao was developed by him?

"Are you going to remove this chunk from underneath?" Yuanhang asked, pointing a finger.

Shang Mu Zhong paused his hand and glanced up at Yuanhang. Yuanhang took the opportunity to look at him, less than fifty, his cheeks were thin, and his eyes were not big, but his eyes were sharp and very attentive.

After the merchant clock was captured, he was lonely, so he developed this thing, and through calculations, he knew that this placement could move the top large wooden block to the bottom, but he had not yet figured out how to move it. Seeing that Yuanhang actually knew what he meant, he glanced up at him.

After taking one look, Shang Mu Zhong lowered his head and continued to study his wooden blocks without saying a word.

Yuanhang Nu lowered his mouth, this thing Lao Tzu is the most familiar with.

"Eh, I can move that piece of wood out." Yuanhang knocked on the table and said twice.

Shang Mu Zhong stopped, looked up and stared at the voyage, his eyes full of disbelief. After a moment's hesitation, he pushed the wooden block on the table over.

Yuanhang didn't talk to him much, and after restoring the wooden block, he moved it quickly. After a few moments, the largest block of wood on top was moved to the bottom.

Shang Mu Zhong was completely shocked, this thing was developed by himself when he was locked in this hut, and no one else could know except himself, how could he use a few days to understand, this young man cracked it in a moment.

"Who are you?" Shang Mu Zhong spoke for the first time, his voice was a little hoarse, and he asked Xiang Yuanhang.

Yuanhang smiled and said: "I am Jiangzhou Garrison Ye Yuanhang, I have admired your name for a long time, and I just happened to stop by to see you this time." ”

Shang Mu Zhong carefully looked at the voyage, so young is a guard? Although I didn't believe it, I saw that he looked calm and talked extraordinary, and I believed it a little.

"How did you crack it in such a short amount of time?" Shang Mu Zhong asked.

"It's just an occasional inspiration, and if you let me move now, I'm afraid I won't." Yuanhang smiled at the corner of his mouth, deliberately leaving suspense for him.

"Please teach me." Shang Mu Zhong was unforgettable, but for the first time, he didn't expect the voyage to move, so he didn't take a closer look. Now that I have been whetted by the voyage, I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep if I don't learn.

"This isn't too difficult, I have an even more difficult one, and you won't think you will either." The voyage interrupted the past, focusing on what he liked, not talking about state affairs, only talking about what he was interested in.

Sure enough, Shang Mu Zhong's eyes lit up and asked, "What do you have, can you show me?" ”

"This ...... I don't have anything in my hands right now, but I can draw for you, and you can study it when you have nothing to do. "Yuanhang thought of the Nine Rings, which can be called the originator of educational toys. It's just that it's too much trouble for yourself, so throw it at him.

Yuanhang looked around, took pen and ink, and drew on the table.

"No, this is it." Yuanhang threw the pen aside, pointed to the table and said: "This is called nine rings, two iron pieces up and down, and nine iron rings pass through the middle, which are interlocking, and you need to not break the iron rings to get out of the iron plates, is it difficult enough?" ”

Shang Mu Zhong stood up and was about to take a closer look, when Yuanhang raised his hand and blurred the handwriting on the table with his sleeve.

"This ...... I haven't looked at it closely. Shang Mu Zhong was in a hurry, such a mysterious thing, he didn't know it, but he knew it but disappeared.

"This thing is known only to me in the world, how do you think I can let the second person know?" The voyage is really pretending to be mysterious, and it will raise the appetite of the merchant clock.

Shang Mu Zhong said anxiously: "You just said that I should study, but now you don't tell me, the gentleman said, the horse is difficult to chase, why did you go back on your word." ”

"Did I say that?" Yuanhang pretended to forget, scratched his head, and said regretfully: "Did I really say it? In that case, I'm going to tell you. ”

"You said it, you said it." Shang Mu Zhong nodded hurriedly and said.

"Well, seeing that you like these kinds of things, I'll tell you." Yuanhang looked helpless, shook his head and said.

"Thank you, thank you!" Shang Mu Zhong smiled and bowed in thanks.

"Oh, I'm afraid it won't work today, so it's better to change the day." Yuanhang patted his head and said suddenly.

"Why can't you do it today, I wonder when you can come?"

"I'm going back to Jiangzhou today, it's better to wait for me to have time in the future, and come back when I think of this matter, and I will tell you." The serious appearance of the voyage made the merchant Zhong's heart cool to the end.

"If you go back to Jiangzhou, it will take more than a month to come and go, not to mention that you will come back again if you remember, when will it be?" Shang Mu Zhong is very smart, but unfortunately, his mind was led to the Nine Rings by Yuanhang, and he didn't see that Yuanhang was teasing him.

"You developed the Mighty Bow, right?" Yuan Voyage avoided answering his words and changed the subject at the right time.

"Yes." Shang Mu Zhong replied smoothly.

Yuanhang nodded and said, "Although your bow is powerful, it is too heavy, and it needs the assistance of a bow cart. I suggest you improve it a little and use it in the hands of a soldier, so that the power will be increased tenfold. ”

"Hold it in your hand?" Shang Mu Zhong pondered.

"Look at this, I'm going to leave the back hall and go back to Jiangzhou, if you want, you can go to Jiangzhou with me. When you get there, I can help you perfect your strong bow, and I can also tell you the steps to move this wooden block, naturally, the nine links are also counted as yours, I am too lazy to make it, after it is developed, the property rights will be counted as yours. ”

"Can you take me away?" Shang Mu Zhong didn't know what property rights were, but he only knew that the person in front of him would have too many things, and he was not as good as him.

"Well, we'll go now if you want."

"Okay, I'll go back to Jiangzhou with you." Shang Mu Zhong nodded firmly.

Yuanhang came out of Shang Mu Zhong's room and wrote a secret letter to send Wuying to the palace.

After understanding Shang Mu Zhong's temperament, Yuanhang knew that it was absolutely impossible to persuade him to be sincere in a short period of time. And he must leave the back hall today, otherwise he will not be able to explain to the ninth princess tomorrow. Therefore, when I wrote to the emperor, I wanted to take Shangmu Zhong back to Jiangzhou and persuade him slowly.

After waiting in the barracks for a while, Wuying returned, and then the Holy Lord went to the barracks and allowed the voyage to take away the Shangmu Clock. After Mu Ping received the command, he sent Yuanhang and others outside the barracks to give gifts and farewell.

Out of the west gate of Houtang City, the voyage was relieved. It was already noon, so I had a simple bite with Shang Mu Zhong in the car, leaned on the carriage and squinted.

"Princess, the princess is here." Birou came in and told her that the ninth princess had been waiting in the room for a long time.

"Come in, please." The ninth princess suddenly felt a slight heat on her face, and she became a little nervous.

The king came in, bowed down to greet the ninth princess, and said, "Princess, you called me early in the morning, and I don't know what to order." ”

The Ninth Princess stabilized and asked, "What is the matter with the early dynasty today?" ”

"Back to the princess, it's no big deal."

"Oh." The Ninth Princess immediately thought about it, how could he talk about this matter in the court, and asked instead, "Lord Ye has gone to see the emperor?" ”

"Back to the princess, Lord Ye did not go to the early dynasty."

The ninth princess was stunned and asked, "He didn't come to the early dynasty?" ”

"Yes, princess, the slave is outside the palace, and I haven't seen Lord Ye."

"Hey, where did he go?" The ninth princess whispered and retreated Wang Jinping. stood up and took Birou to see the emperor.

After Emperor Yinwen retired from the court, he went to the queen's palace, and was about to go for a walk in the imperial garden with the queen, when the eunuch came in to tell him that the ninth princess came.

Emperor Yin Wen looked at Queen Wang with a smile and asked, "Does Yan'er often come to your palace?" ”

Queen Wang shook her head lightly and said, "The royal sister has not been here since she returned after the New Year, and I think I came to look for you." ”

"This girl, they've all chased here......"

The ninth princess stepped forward to give a salute, and said, "I have seen the royal brother, the queen mother." ”

Queen Wang raised her arm lightly and said weakly: "Imperial sister is exempt, how can you be so idle today and come to me." ”

The ninth princess smiled playfully and replied, "I miss the imperial sister-in-law, so I came." ”

"Haha......" Emperor Yin Wen laughed, pointed at the ninth princess and said, "You, only this mouth is good, no wonder the queen likes you." ”

"Brother Huang doesn't like me?" The Ninth Princess floated to Emperor Yinwen's side, grabbed his arm and shook it.

"Okay, okay, don't move, I'm dizzy." Emperor Yin Wen blocked the hand of the Ninth Princess and asked, "Say, what's the matter here?" ”

The Ninth Princess laughed and asked, "I didn't see Ye Yuanhang today, so I came to ask Brother Xia, can he go to you today?" ”

"Yuanhang, didn't he go back to Jiangzhou yesterday?" Emperor Yin Wen replied.

"Back to Jiangzhou?" The ninth princess was stunned for a moment, no, he said it yesterday...... Oops, let him run again. remembered that he had used this trick in Qianling, took the opportunity to slip away, and now he was fooled again.

Ye Yuanhang, you bastard. The ninth princess was so aggrieved that she almost shed tears, cursed in her heart, turned around and ran out. Emperor Yinwen and Empress Wang looked at each other, looked at the back of the ninth princess, and seemed to understand something.

For five days in a row, Shang Mu Zhong had to ask about the Nine Links every day, and he also took out those wooden blocks at any time to let Yuanhang move again, which made Yuanhang upset. Seeing that Jingzhou had passed, he had to endure it, hoping to return to Jiangzhou soon, hold him for a month, and only when he endured it to the limit could he be subdued.

"I don't have any thoughts about this carriage, how can I still think of it, you let me rest for a while, and when I return to Jiangzhou, I will definitely remember." The voyage has been delayed, and although Fu Yashi is anxious, he is helpless, so he has to bow his head and study the wooden block all the way.

"Wise, foolish?" Yuanhang squinted his eyes and pretended to be asleep, peeking at this guy. Call him stupid, he can develop something very different, say he is smart, drill the horns of the bull, and recognize the same endlessly. Ay......

"It's finally home." Yuanhang saw Jiangzhou City from afar, and his heart was very happy. After a month of separation, several wives are okay, but I still care about the little guy the most in my heart, and I should grow up.

The group entered Jiangzhou City, and it happened that the Qin Dynasty was inspecting this gate, and they greeted Yuanhang with a smile.

"General Qin, is there anything going on in the city?" After dismounting, he handed the reins to Ah Jin and stepped forward.

"There is nothing to do in the city, and the last general of the house often visits, and several sisters-in-law are very good." The Qin Dynasty was familiar with Yuanhang, and he was not as restrained as others, and replied with a smile.

Yuanhang patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll go back to the house first, you come to the house in the evening, and we'll have a few drinks." ”

Qin Chao clenched his fists and said with a smile: "I'm going to bother, don't be stingy." ”

"Haha......" Yuanhang punched him and walked towards the garrison.

Yuanhang asked Ah Jin to arrange a place for Shang Mu Zhong, and he trotted all the way to the back house, and met the maid on the way to salute him, and he also waved by.

Qinghe came out of the room and was about to go to Liqiu's place, when he ran in out of breath just as he was far away.

"Xianggong ......," Qinghe called out in surprise. Yuanhang ran over and hugged Qinghe and kissed him fiercely. Qiushui, who was ashamed, hurriedly closed his eyes and turned his body to the door.

"Wow, it smells so good." Yuanhang let out a sigh, pulled Qinghe over and kissed her on the cheek again, and said, "Xianggong is back." ”

Qinghe's face was slightly red, he turned around and looked at Qiushui, and said with a complaint: "I am a father, and I am still crazy like this." ”

"Hehe, do you miss me?" Yuanhang saw that Qiushui, the girl was sensible, and she didn't turn around, and reached out and pinched Qinghe's buttocks.

"Oops......" Qinghe dodged and didn't dodge, he was pinched firmly, and clenched his fists and hit him.

"Okay, okay, let's go see Liqiu first." Yuanhang dodged with a smile, grabbed Qinghe's little hand, and the two went to Liqiu's room.

Yuanhang pushed the door in and saw Liqiu breastfeeding the child. Liqiu only came in as if it was Chunyue, and he didn't look up, and he lowered his head and talked to the child.

"Qiu'er, eat more and grow up faster, grow up to talk to your mother, your father doesn't know when he will come back, and wait for him to come back to see his mother beat him."

Yuanhang looked back at Qinghe and frowned. What kind of education is this, it seems that you have to find a knowledgeable person for your child, or you will grow up to be the same as Liqiu.

"Ahem." Yuanhang coughed lightly, but startled Liqiu, hurriedly turned around to block his chest, and looked back.

Xu turned around in a hurry, the milk choked the child, and the child cried "wow".

Yuanhang hurriedly walked over to see the child, and said in his heart: This loser, don't scare my child.

"Xianggong, you're back." Li Qiu was overjoyed, staring at the voyage and called.

"Kid, kid." Yuanhang stretched out his hand to pick up the child, smiled at Liqiu, and shook it on the ground.

"Is Xianggong back?" There was a voice outside the door, and Yuanhang heard Du Wen's voice, turned around and shouted, "Wen'er, I'm here." ”

Wanyue walked in with Du Wen in her arms, and now Du Wen's stomach is already bulging and round, and she is even having some difficulty walking.

"Are you all alright?" Yuanhang hugged the children and smiled at them.

Wanyue and Du Wen smiled happily and nodded to Yuanhang, and Du Wen shed tears of joy.

"Silly girl, what are you crying about?"

"Xianggong, I thought that on the day the concubine gave birth, you wouldn't rush back, but now I'm relieved."

"Naturally, I want to come back, and the big things are not as important as you." Yuanhang laughed and said, the other side of Liqiu pouted, and shouted, "Give the child back to me." ”

"Xianggong ......" took a step forward and said lightly to Yuanhang: "Old man Situ, you are here in the house." ”

"What?" Yuanhang was stunned on the spot, his hand shook, and he almost dropped the child.
