Early in the morning, when Li Hong got up, he kept wondering if everything he dreamed about was true? I'm really in the pavilion with Helan Minyue... Thinking of this, Li Hong couldn't help but shudder, and didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

Zhao Hongskirt was serving Li Hong to change clothes, but her face was a little pale, as if she didn't rest last night.

Seeing this, Li Hong opened his mouth and asked, "Zhao Hongskirt, didn't you sleep well last night?" Why is your face so pale? ”

"No, it's fine, it's just a little unwell." Zhao Hongskirt lowered her head and didn't dare to meet the prince's gaze, but replied in a low voice.

Li Hong was even more strange, he felt that Zhao Hong's performance today was a little strange, as if she was avoiding herself, could it be that she knew everything about herself last night, or that the dream she had last night was not a dream, but really happened?

"Your Highness, Yan Jialing has been begging to see you outside the door for a long time, I don't know if you see it or not?" Seeing Li Hong stunned, Zhao Hong's skirt reported. Although Yan Zhuang was the prince's family order and was in charge of everything in the East Palace, he still didn't dare to break into the prince's bedroom, so he could only get Li Hong's permission to come in by replying.

"Did he say anything?" Li Hong frowned, and couldn't help asking, "What time is it?" ”

"It's noon." Zhao Hongskirt replied, "Yan Jialing didn't say anything, I've been waiting for you for two hours." ”

"When did Lone go back to the East Palace last night?" Li Hong asked curiously. He will overdo it, which makes him a little incredible, he practices martial arts diligently, and practices the method of breathing and breathing, not only has good endurance, but also has a lot of energy, and it is impossible to sleep until noon.

When Li Hong asked him like this, Zhao Hong's face turned even redder, and she said in a low voice, "Your Highness only returned to the East Palace early in the morning. ”

"What?" Li Hong was stunned, he didn't return last night, and he was still in Helan Minyue's house? It's a big deal, isn't it? hurriedly said to Zhao Hongskirt, "Quick, let Yan Zhuang come to see Lonely." ”

He remembered that he drank a glass of wine with Helan Minyue last night, and he got drunk, and he didn't know what happened later, Yan Zhuang was his escort, and he wanted to ask Yan Zhuang why he would go to the East Palace early in the morning, so where did he live last night.

Zhao Hongskirt accepted the order and left in a hurry.

Halfway through, I saw Yan Zhuang hurriedly walking into the dormitory.

Before Yan Zhuang could give a gift, Li Hong opened his mouth and asked, "Where did Lone stay last night?" ”

"Your Highness is in the minister's house." Yan Zhuang replied respectfully.

"Why don't you know?" Li Hong asked.

"Your Highness, you drank too much in the Lady of Wei's mansion." Yan Zhuang replied. However, Li Hong has been friends with Yan Zhuang for ten years, and as soon as he saw Yan Zhuang's expression when he spoke, he knew that what Yan Zhuang said was not the truth.

"Yan Zhuang, there is no one here, you don't have to deceive Gu, just say what you know." Li Hong said with a serious expression.

Yan Zhuang hesitated for a moment and said, "His Royal Highness did stay in the minister's mansion last night, but not for a night, but for a stick of incense, because it was almost dawn when His Highness came out of the Lady of Wei's mansion, and His Highness was not drunk, he was unconscious, as if he had been drugged." ”

"No wonder!" Li Hong nodded slightly, "Does anyone still know about this matter?" ”

"Nope. The minister has taken care of everything, and no one will know. Yan Zhuang replied.

Li Hong was relieved a lot. If Gaozong knew that he was staying in Helan Minyue's mansion and was drugged, he didn't dare to think about what the consequences would be.

"You came to look for Gu early in the morning, is there anything wrong?" Li Hong calmed down and asked.

"Back to Your Highness, Xue Feng, who will be the supervisor, will come to see you, saying that he has selected some craftsmen and wants to show the list to His Highness." Yan Zhuang replied.

"So fast?" Li Hong was surprised, Xue Feng's work efficiency is really high, "How many people?" ”

"The total number of people who are the prisoners, the weapons supervisors, and the young government supervisors is about thirty." Yan Zhuang replied, "All of them are skilled blacksmiths and craftsmen in each prison, as long as His Highness can say it, there is nothing they can't do." ”

"Quick, let Xue Feng go to the study and wait for Lonely." Li Hong said happily that with such a group of high-tech talents, it is enough for him to want to study artillery and fire, and after the research of fire, guns and artillery, his goal should be shifted to the steam engine and lathe, after all, large-scale batch sound field fire, and the need for lathes, at the same time, he also knows that even if this group of people research artillery, it is estimated that it is a solid single, and the power is not as strong as the flowering bullet, so the research of artillery has a long way to go, and the same is true for fire, first of all, first of all, it is a fire, medicine gun, then a breech gun, and then a repeating gun in the back hallThis is a step-by-step process and cannot be rushed.

"No!" Yan Zhuang received the order and left in a hurry.

Li Hong finished washing under the service of Zhao Hongskirt, ate some rice porridge, and hurried to the study, Xue Feng got up to salute him, and at the same time he was followed by a white-haired old man, the old man was called Master Lu, after Xue Feng's introduction Li Hong knew that this Master Lu was no one else, it was the descendant of Lu Ban, the ancestor of the Spring and Autumn Period.

"Xue Qing, Master Lu, please sit down and drink tea." Li Hong said politely.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Xue Feng and Master Lu hurriedly thanked him, sat on the chair behind him, and took a sip of the tea served by the maidservant, before Li Hongcai opened his mouth and asked, "Xue Feng, let Gu see your list." ”

"Please take a look at Your Highness, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, the minister will go to the selection." Xue Feng said, and handed a thin page to Li Hong.

Li Hong looked at the above content carefully, and he found that the introduction above was very detailed, what everyone did, and he wrote very clearly what he had done as a prisoner, an ordnance supervisor, or a young government supervisor. Li Hong paid special attention to Master Lu's introduction and found that he turned out to be the chief technician of the supervisor, and all the things that should be produced by the supervisor had to be tested by him.

"Very good, Xue Feng, you did a very good job, and the people selected above are very satisfied." Li Hong smiled, put the roster on the table, and said in a deep voice, "However, this matter that Lone summoned them to do is very confidential, and it is related to the future safety and security of Datang, and at the same time, this matter is also very dangerous, if you are not careful, you may lose your life, you have to tell them after you go back, if one of them wants to quit, Lone will not blame them, but once they are involved, they can only go this way to the end, and it will be difficult to quit, Lone will not agree." ”

"Of course, as long as this thing is successful, Gu will ask his father to grant them the corresponding titles, and in the process of doing this, their money will also be very rich, they can get two yuan a month, and at the same time, their wives and children will also send someone to take care of them, so they will not have worries." Li Hong said lightly.

The title of the Tang Dynasty can generally only be obtained by virtue of military merits, and the title of the Tang Dynasty is very high, and the title is difficult to obtain, and now as long as this matter is completed, it can be awarded to despair, not to mention this group of craftsmen, even Master Lu and Xue Feng are also moved. Xue Feng is now a young eunuch who will be a prisoner, but he also does not have a title, and if he wants to obtain a title in his life, he has no chance to stay in the prison.

"I don't know what His Highness wants us to do?" Master Lu asked, he was really curious about what Li Hong was going to do, even if it would be so mysterious. Xue Feng was also very curious, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gathered so many blacksmiths and craftsmen, what did he have to do a big thing? It still involves the safety and security of Datang.

"Xue Feng, this matter is ready to let you be responsible and let you lead them to complete it, are you willing?" Li Hong asked, he saw that Xue Feng was a little confused, Li Hong continued to explain, "But before you are responsible for leading them, you have to be relieved of your position as a prisoner, and you will be transferred to the East Palace. ”

Xue Feng was overjoyed after hearing this, because compared to following up on the East Palace, it was not a big deal to leave the prison as a prisoner. Because the crown prince is the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty, if he enters the East Palace and can serve by the prince's side, the prince will ascend the throne and become the emperor in the future, and he will be able to lose his own benefits.

Thinking of this, Xue Feng nodded hurriedly and said, "The minister is willing to obey His Highness's dispatch, and he will definitely take His Highness's head in the future." ”

"Good!" Li Hong was very satisfied with Xue Feng's attitude, so he praised loudly, and then he took out a scroll of drawings from his bookshelf, handed the drawings to Xue Feng and Master Lu and said, "This is a thing that Lone asked you to make, you two will take a look first, do it to understand, and after a few days after Lone General has gathered all the people, you will immediately start researching and producing, of course, you don't have to worry about money, what do you need in the process of research, just tell Yan Zhuang, and he will be responsible for getting all the things for you." ”

What Li Hong handed to Xue Feng and Master Lu were sketches of artillery and guns he had drawn, as well as some explanations.

Being able to serve as a supervisor in general, Xue Feng himself has skills, not to mention Master Lu, so as soon as they saw this drawing, their whole bodies couldn't help but tremble, because they knew what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted them to do, if this thing was made, it would really be able to reach the earth-shattering ghosts and gods! The two of them carefully looked at the instructions and some explanations on the drawings, and they were even more surprised, this thing was really powerful, and when the time came, the Tang Dynasty wanted to destroy the Turks and Goryeo, wouldn't it be easy?

It took Xue Feng and Master Lu half an hour to finish reading the drawings and handing them over to Li Hong, who took a deep breath.

"Well, do you know what you're doing now?" Li Hong asked.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, Xue Feng will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations!" Xue Feng was the first to say something, because he knew very well the power of this thing that the prince asked him to make, as long as he made this thing, he believed that with the role that this thing would play in the future battle, there would be absolutely no problem in making him a prince.

"The old minister will definitely use his life's energy to complete this great thing for His Highness." Master Lu said excitedly, what is there to regret about being able to make such an earth-shattering thing in this life, for a person like him who is good at tricks? Besides, Shinong and industrialists, craftsmen are generally not welcomed, and now that he can be a marquis with the technical work in his hands, what else can he shirk?

Li Hong nodded slightly, seeing that Xue Feng and Master Lu were determined, his expectations for guns and artillery in his heart were even greater.
