Chapter 67 "Transforming the Bow and Crossbow"
"Good daughter, don't be sad, Qi Yun's kid is a sentient person, and he won't be fooled by his old man at will" Dad saw that I was a little sad and patted my head.
"Dad, what did Uncle Qi say to you, did you break up unhappily?"
"It's nothing, it's not easy for our Tian family to go from raiding the house to now, your father who did it for our family sees it in his eyes, I will never get involved in those things again, and I don't care about your safety" He touched my head again, his eyes were empty, thinking about something. And I also understand a little when I hear this, it is estimated that they are talking about some things in the court, my father has made up his mind to retreat, and now the things in the court are very treacherous, the emperor has changed two terms in a short time, and the three brothers of the Lu family are all ambitious, it is too difficult to get involved in this dispute and want to get out of the whole body, I think it is the wisest choice to avoid it.
The day after Qi Yun went back, Fu Yan successfully came back, I asked him about Qi Yun's situation, and he said that Qi Yun was locked up by his father, and he watched it closely. But let me not worry, he'll find time to sneak out to find me.
But this slipping around is not a long-term solution, I felt a little bored in my heart, but I still cheered up and asked about Fuyan's current situation. Fortunately, Qi Jue didn't punish him because he was close to us, maybe he didn't take the child too seriously.
As my feelings for Qi Yun gradually deepened, I made all the mistakes that people in love will make, as soon as he was by my side, I felt that the world was so beautiful that it was beautiful. But as soon as he was gone, I didn't think about tea and dinner, I couldn't be interested in anything, typical lovesickness, and even had an impulse to write a diary, or the kind of "Qi Yun was absent on the first day, I missed him", hey!
Outside the window, Zhubei and Sakura gathered together, looked at me and shook their heads and whispered together, before I changed it, I must have jumped up and rushed over, and asked them what they were doing. But now I don't want to move at all, love is so terrible that I have no fighting spirit.
"Have you counted clearly?"
"Huh? What the? I looked at my mother and was puzzled.
"My mother is talking about your food, rice is for eating, not for poking" My mother looked helpless, I just reacted, I don't know when I was on the table, is this breakfast or dinner?
"Sister, you've been so worried lately, don't you like to go out the most? The weather has been so nice lately, or let's go on an outing? My sister suggested.
Zhubei and Ying'er smiled together, the two looked at each other and said with a smile, "I look at her, she is only interested in going to Qicheng for an outing, and the others are not the slightest interest", I know that they are burying me, and I rewarded one person with a white eye.
"Sister, why don't you go to talk to Pavilion Master Tan later?" My sister held my hand worriedly.
"Sister, you just got pregnant, you still have to pay more attention in the early stage, don't worry about me, I'll go to him myself later", my sister has a new life in her belly, it's really a happy thing, I can be an aunt soon, but speaking of Tan Fang, that old thing has no time to pay attention to me, he recently fell in love with an Aunt Yang who danced a square dance, and he peeped at people every day, so he didn't have time to explain me.
Ay? Something is wrong, it seems that I am in a similar state to this old thing.
I don't know if it's breakfast or lunch, I lay down again and continued to straighten the corpse, and before I knew it, I fell asleep, dreaming that I was in love with Qi Yun, he took me to ride a horse and run on the grassland, the sun was setting in the distance, the sun was shining on us, and the breeze blew through the corners of the clothes, connecting the two sleeves together......
"Alas, wake up, the pillow is wet" I felt that someone was in a daze, and a big face was printed at the end of the endless wilderness, which scared me away, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Sakura looking at me.
"You want to scare me to death?" I sat up jerked up and patted my chest.
"Lu San is here," Sakura sat on the edge of the bed.
I kicked her, "Lu San is here, you are looking for Zhubei, what are you looking for me" Lao Tzu was dreaming.
Sakura disdainfully "Sweet dreams? I think it's a spring dream" "Lu San is here to find you"
"Looking for me?" What is he looking for me for? I was suspicious.
Sakura frowned, "You can just go and see, since that kid is here to find you, will he tell us something?"
As soon as Sakura frowned, I was stunned, the kick just now was already hovering on the verge of death, and now that she was fully awake, she didn't dare to provoke her, and immediately put on her coat and went to see Lu San.
"Second Miss is good" Lu San bent down slightly at me seriously, I patted him on the shoulder, "What's the matter, I haven't seen you for a while and I'm rusty" It's been a friendship for so long, I don't want some things to affect each other's friendship.
Lu San pulled the corners of his mouth slightly embarrassed and said bluntly, "It was my son-in-law who asked me to invite you to an appointment today, and it will be at noon tomorrow at Dongcheng Wharf."
"Lu Yan invited me to an appointment? Dock at noon? Is it so above board? "There are not a lot of gossips about me and Lu Yan, besides, if Mo Ying knows, can she agree?
"Second Miss, don't worry, the son is all arranged"
"But what is the matter with him?" I wondered.
"The subordinates don't know, the son didn't mention it, and the second miss will know tomorrow when she goes" Lu San was about to leave after conveying it, but I stopped him.
"Are you here, aren't you going to see Zhubei? How are you doing? β
When I mentioned Zhu Bei, Lu San's ice face collapsed, and he looked helpless.
Hey, it looks like I'm going to have to get involved with these two people.
Lu San came and left, and Zhubei also knew, although Xiao Nizi demonstrated very well, but if a person is in a good mood, how can his family not see it? Daddy sighed tacitly, shook her head and looked at me and Zhubei.
Lu San's stirring up successfully made Zhubei become unrelenting, and Sakura was sandwiched between the two of us, and she couldn't help but miss Taozi.
The next day, I had a casual lunch, and I rushed to the appointment, and a luxury cruise ship stopped at the pier.
As soon as I arrived, a cute little maid led me upstairs, I saw that her bag was very cute, her hand pinched cheaply, the little girl puffed up her face, dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, looking at her cute appearance I felt funny.
"What's going on?" Lu Yan was playing against himself when he saw me come in and put the chess pieces back in the urn.
I shook my head, "It's nothing, I just think that little girl is cute."
Lu Yan looked at me with a deep gaze, and said after a while, "When I first saw you, you were so naΓ―ve."
"You're saying I'm not cute now?" I squinted slightly at Lu Yan.
Lu Yan smiled lightly, "It's still cute"
I smiled with satisfaction and walked straight to sit down opposite Lu Yan.
"What's next?"
Seeing Lu Yan's eyes, I shook my head violently, "No, no, I won't"
"What you learned before have you returned it?" Lu Yan looked at me with a smile, and at this moment it made me feel as if nothing had changed, we and the Lu family were still so simple, sending gifts to each other during the New Year's holidays, and visiting the door from time to time, there was no emperor, queen, or prince.
But when I looked around, I was sober again, the gorgeousness of the painting boat, the heavy guards outside the cabin, and the extravagant prince all made me sober up instantly.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yan saw that I didn't answer but looked around, which was a little strange.
"It's nothing" I didn't explain, but Lu Yan seemed to understand and didn't ask anymore.
"By the way, come to me today? So what's going on? β
Lu Yan still smiled slightly, as if he guessed that I should ask.
"I know that you are anxious, and I won't beat around the bush, do you know what Qi Jue discussed with your father last time?"
Hearing this, I looked at Lu Yan vigilantly, Lu Yan shook his head helplessly, and said, "I already know the reason for the matter."
"Daddy didn't tell me, but it should be Uncle Qi who wants my father to go out of the mountain, but I don't know who it is, since you asked, at least that person is not you" I briefly analyzed, and by the way, I also clarified my thoughts, Uncle Qi is afraid that he has joined Uncle Lu's command, why did Lu Yan ask me today? Is it possible for me to convince my dad to join his side?
"I just want to see you, but if you say that, you must have a burden, that's why you talk about those things, but you are suspicious of me" Lu Yan smiled bitterly, the little girl came over and added a cup of tea to Lu Yan, hid behind him and glared at me, as if she was dissatisfied with my suspicion of Lu Yan.
I'm also upset in my heart, we wouldn't be like this, but the current situation, what's right? What's wrong? Where to start?
"Well, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask, but I said that I will protect your family, and this promise will last forever." Lu Yan looked at me affectionately, and I avoided his gaze many times.
"If it's okay, I'll go back first," I got up to say goodbye, and since he didn't have anything important to look for me, I couldn't stay longer.
"Can't you stay with me a little longer?" Behind him, Lu Yan rubbed his eyes tiredly, the little girl wanted to come forward to help, but he waved his hand and let her go down, the little girl glared at me again before leaving, if I used to estimate that I would have to go up and smoke her with a big mouth, but now I really don't bother to take care of her.
"You and I are now disparity, and it is not appropriate for lonely men and widows to meet here"
"I remember that you didn't care about this before," Lu Yan retorted.
I looked at him, "That's right, I didn't know the height of the sky before, and I got into trouble everywhere, but now our family has settled in the capital, and my sister and brother-in-law are running a small business, and there are so many people in the Tian family, I can't stand my toss" Now I am entangled by countless bound and bound threads, but I didn't expect that I was also willing, and it turned out that it was not a difficult thing to accept to be bound for the people I loved.
"You've grown up," Lu Yan felt a little relieved.
I was confused when I heard this, Lu Yan's words treated me like a child. Suddenly, he smiled as if he remembered something, "You say, did I not keep my little cabbage?" β
I was stunned, but I still made up my mind not to answer his words, and it was meaningless to blindly miss the past and hurt the present. All the decisions we make now are our own choices, if we can't go back, we can't go back, and as the crown prince, the person who stepped on the dragon chair with half a foot should be clear in his heart.
"Childe, Huang Ping of the military department is here" Lu San suddenly came in and interrupted the slightly embarrassing situation.
Lu Yan frowned, a little dissatisfied, "How did you get here?" β
"Said that there was something important to see Childe"
Lu Yan waved his hand, "Let him in."
It seems that they have something important to discuss, so I planned to take the opportunity to leave, but Lu Yan still didn't let me go.
"It's okay to listen to it together, can you stay with me for a while?"
I lowered my head and was very distressed, but when I hesitated, what Huang Ping had already come in, he saw me here stunned for a moment, holding the drawings and didn't know whether to open them, Lu Yan nodded slightly, he put the drawings on the table and unfolded, it was a sketch of a bow and crossbow, I couldn't understand the specifics, but listening to Huang Ping, it was called "Huang Jiao's crossbow", with a range of more than 400 steps, three arrows fired at the same time, and it was very awesome.
Lu Yan looked at the drawings seriously, although he didn't have any expression, he nodded, indicating that he was still satisfied, and suddenly he paused for a moment and raised his head to look at me.
"What does Ding'er think?" Lu Yan looked at me looking forward to it, and Huang Ping on the side was a little puzzled, probably thinking that this was his painstaking work, and handed it over to a little woman for comment, a little unhappy.
However, when I saw Lu Yanbaba looking at me, and remembered the crossbow arrows I saw in the villa in the Yunying Peak Lake, I couldn't say anything at all. In fact, the "Yellow Crossbow" on the drawing is very ordinary, not superior in terms of flexibility, performance and power, of course, compared with the existing technology, it is naturally an improvement.
"What does this young lady think? It's okay to say it directly" Huang Ping saw that I nodded again, and shook my head very disdainfully, probably thinking that I just didn't know how to pretend to understand, and the class got an axe.
I glanced at him, and then said, "This Huang crossbow is naturally improved compared with the existing bow and crossbow, but there is still room for improvement", I just analyzed that this was interrupted by Huang Ping's "snort", I looked at him unhappily, Lu Yan also glanced at him warningly, and he lowered his head and did not dare to make a mistake.
"Ding'er, continue" Lu Yan motioned for me to continue analyzing.
"The room for progress, let's talk about this dexterity first, if this yellow crossbow is really five hundred pounds, it needs to be pushed by four people, three arrows at a time, the speed of the arrow is really slow, and the range is not far, it is really unnecessary to invest in large quantities."
"The range is not far either? The girl is really a layman's layman, the range of 400 steps of a large crossbow arrow is already one of the best, the girl actually said that it is not far, it is really... It was really "He blew his beard angrily and stared at him, and when he wanted to silence it at the end, he really didn't dare to scold, because at this moment Lu Yan was staring at him directly.
I smiled indifferently and continued, "If you pay attention to the number of arrows fired at one time and the range, I once saw a powerful crossbow arrow called the Bean Inch Crossbow from the book, which can fire ten arrows in unison and shoot a thousand steps away."
"Hahahaha, in the end, I don't know the wealth of rice, oil and salt, how can I believe the exaggerated things in the book, if you can make such a bean crossbow, the old man will bear the guilt of Jing and kneel all the way to the door of the girl's mansion" Huang Ping's words were full of disdain and ridicule, and he couldn't take care of Lu Yan in anger, it seems that I really this old man, and he is also an old man, and he is also an old man in the military department, usually quite respected, today I met a yellow-haired girl, and I said wildly, In other words, I would laugh at her for not knowing the height of the sky, but today he really has to kneel, because I really know something about that bean inch crossbow, when I used to go to school, I didn't like to read, but I liked extracurricular books very much, what "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Chinese Tea Talk", "Hundred Herbs", "Firearms and Arrows" and the like, although not to say proficient, learn to apply, but how much memory is saved, even if you can't make exactly the same, but you can also say one or two of the wonders, that's enough.
I recalled a little that the structure of the bean inch crossbow was twisted with a rope, and it took dozens of people to pull the machine, but once it was released, it was infinitely powerful. I drafted it according to the pattern of the points in my memory, not so delicate, but a discerning person can understand at a glance that it is a weapon that should not be underestimated. Sure enough, Huang Ping changed from disdain at the beginning to concentration, and when I finished painting, I was even more excited to grab it, and began to observe it with full attention, even if I waved my hand in front of his eyes.
At this time, Lu Yan smiled, "Don't worry about him, he is a weapon fan, once he delves in, he will not care about the occasion and place, the bow and crossbow you draw must be very powerful, he will be like this."
"Oh, then let him go, if it is really made, the guilt of Jing will be spared, just let him change this problem of looking down on people" I said indifferently, I originally wanted to leave, but suddenly remembered the matter of Zhubei and Lu San.
"Regarding Zhu Bei and Lu San, I wonder if you can agree?" I hesitated for a moment before speaking, and then stared at Lu Yan's expression.
"They? What's the matter? Lu Yan was a little puzzled.
I was anxious, and continued, "You know the crux of the two of them, have you ever thought about giving Lu San freedom?" β
Lu Yan took a sip of the tea on the table and looked at me, "Lu San has followed me since he was a child, I naturally hope that he can have a happy marriage, at least ......" Lu Yan smiled bitterly and continued, "At least what I can't have, he can have, but I know him very well, before my career is successful, he will not listen, even if I let him leave, he will not leave." β
Hearing this, I calmed down, it is true that Lu San looks cold and serious, but he is indeed a very stubborn person, not to mention that he is extremely loyal to Lu Yan, when Lu Yan needs him, he will say that he will not leave anything, otherwise the two of them will not be delayed for so long, but what if Lu Yan's imperial road still needs many years? He can afford to wait, what about Zhubei? The pain of two people who can't love each other, as her sister, how can I bear it.
"You don't have to worry, I'll take care of their business, until you... How are you and Qi Yun? When the words fell, Lu Yan tilted his head slightly, as if looking out the window again.
"It's okay, he was taken back by Uncle Qi a while ago, and he will be back after a while", Lu Yan just nodded after listening, I saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassed, and proposed to go back again, this time he didn't stop me, but called Lu San, and asked him to send me home safely.
