Li Siye is still arranging preparations before the trip, eggs can't be put in one basket, and his sister can't be entrusted to someone to take care of. Zhang Xiaojing is reliable enough, but his profession is dangerous, and while the bad marshal is responsible for the security of Wannian County, he also has to face threats to his life, in case he provokes an evil force one day and traps himself in, Mei'er will have no one to take care of him. So he arranged for Mei'er's teacher Gao Shi to let him take care of Li Mei'er's studies and her life a little.

This is double insurance, but this is not enough, he went to find Wen Wuji's daughter Wen Ran again, and asked her to go to see Mei'er every other day. The psychological problems encountered by girls in the process of growing up are not understandable to adults, and Li Siye can rest assured that she can be relieved by the fact that she is supervised by the side to supervise her growth.

A martial artist, a scholar and a daughter, she arranged three sets of teams for her sister to take care of her growth, and the influences of the three complemented each other, so that the Mei'er who grew up in the environment could be regarded as perfect and healthy.

This is still not enough to reassure, he has secretly vowed to go to Anxi, to grow up within a year, at least until this time in the year after tomorrow, he can be promoted to lieutenant or lieutenant general, enough qualifications to buy property in Anxi, so that he can take her over with confidence.

My brother is still too ruthless.

He set up a target in the courtyard and painted circles with cinnabar, and it was almost thirty steps from the steps of the main hall to the target. The Tang Army-style individual crossbow he purchased from the hidden market had an effective killing distance of about fifty paces. He doesn't have high requirements for himself, as long as he can shoot the enemy within thirty paces, it can be regarded as a small achievement.

Zhang Xiaojing is a master of using crossbows, and he comes to teach when he has spare time, and constantly adjusts the crossbow according to Li Siye's personal habits. In five or six days, there won't be much progress, but any shooting technique requires a lot of time to practice.

Since shooting skills can't be done quickly, adjustments can be made in other ways, such as adding crosshair sights above the crossbow. Li Siye directly came to a step in place, hollowed out a bamboo pipe, staggered the bamboo pipe mouth with two pipa strings, and then fixed it on the crossbow with the method of tenon and tenon, the front sight was constantly adjusted, and constantly groped and improved in the shooting, and finally determined the target to the crosshair, and then to the bamboo pipe cross three points and one line aiming in the bull's-eye.

The improved bow and crossbow are indeed much more accurate, but they can only ensure the accuracy within 30 steps when there is no wind, beyond 30 steps, the parabola of the crossbow arrow cannot be judged.

While Zhang Xiaojing admired his ingenuity, he also thought that this was just chicken ribs.

Li Siye doesn't think so, he feels that time is just in a hurry, and if he is given some time, the ruler can be made, so why bother with parabola?

Under the guidance of this idea of preparedness, the items in Li Siye's backpack increased day by day, such as sewing needles, silk threads, and oil-paper umbrellas used to collect rainwater. After the injury, there are as many as three vials of external application powder used to disinfect and apply the wound.

Not only that, but he also bought various clay pots at home, and several liters of liquor, which he distilled to extract the alcohol.

The day before his departure, the crown prince Li Ying suddenly visited, which made Li Siye a little surprised, he thought that he would have nothing to do with leaving, but he didn't expect him to see him off in person.

Li Ying told the truth, he is indeed a good person, and the officials of the East Palace do not feel the pressure of the workplace under his rule, but such a person cannot be a good leader after all.

He brought a horse from the stables of the East Palace, and the horse had a full set of saddles, stirrups, halters, bridles, long whips, and a long weapon wrapped in linen.

Li Ying stood in Li Siye's courtyard, smelling a strong smell of wine, frowning slightly and feeling a little sad.

Li Siye was still reluctant to be alone in the East Palace, and after only a few days of leaving, he began to use wine to drown his sorrows and send depression. It's just that there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and there is no way to be alone, only when I ascend to the world in the future, I will transfer the heirs back to promise a heavy responsibility.

"Parting is the normal state of life, there is no need to be sad, we will meet again in the future." Li Ying patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly.

Li Siye didn't care about the sadness, and it took a lot of time just to prepare the items for the long trip. Since the prince has said so, he must also pretend to sigh, or he will appear to be too ruthless?

"This horse was originally from Anxi, and it was purchased by Gu from a Hu merchant in the Western Regions. I'll give it to you, so you can take it back to your hometown and don't let it die in Chang'an. ”

Li Ying took off the long weapon wrapped in cloth from the horse, shook the rope buckle lightly, the three-foot blade was exposed, and the cold light flickered, this double-edged blade with a diamond-shaped cross-section gave people a deterrent force, and then down was a warm long pole, which was very comfortable to touch.

"This is a send-off gift from Cao Jue, and they all say that you like this Mo knife. When I first became the crown prince, I liked to collect all kinds of weapons, so I put them in the treasury of the Hyocao's Mansion. It is different from other Mo knives, the long handle is strictly made by the method of making the lance, and the sword is constantly tough. Take it as the foundation of your life. ”

Li Siye didn't expect that this weapon would come to him in this way, what else could he say, did he want to play the essence and say that this is my weapon in my fate?

Li Ying's move really moved him a little, so he was a little reluctant to leave him at this juncture.

After bowing his hands and thanking him, he whispered to him: "Your Highness, please come to the inner hall for tea, and the heir has two important words of advice to tell you." ”

Li Ying understood in his heart, and ordered several Qianniu attendants to wait in the courtyard, and he and Li Siye entered the hall together, and the two knelt in front of the board foot case.

Li Mei'er knelt on the mat full of utensils to make tea, the tea in the teapot had already boiled, and she was preparing to boil for the third time.

After waiting for a while, Li Mei'er served the fragrant tea, and after Li Ying tasted it, she felt the fragrance of her mouth and was refreshed.

Li Siye sat upright, put his hands on his knees, straightened his waist and asked, "Has Your Highness ever heard that before you win, you should think about defeat first?" ”

Li Ying thought for a moment and said, "This seems to be from Sun Tzu's Art of War? ”

The minister has his own understanding of this. Chen's master once taught the minister that before doing a certain thing, he should first estimate the worst possible result of the matter, and then ask himself, can I afford the worst outcome, if I can bear it, then do it, if I can't bear it, then don't do it. ”

"You are the crown prince, even if you don't do anything, you will get better results than doing wrong."

Li Siye didn't need to continue, the prince was smart enough that he could understand the meaning.

What Li Ying found new was that this unique way of thinking about problems had never been seen in the books he had read in the past.

But after savoring it, this article can be applied to almost anything, even if he can rule the world in the future, in the face of his inner ** and impatience, he can also save the situation by asking himself with such a sentence.

The truth of this sentence is very simple, but there are still many people who can't do it, especially those risk-taking entrepreneurs, who once stood at the top of the pyramid with infinite scenery, but fell off the altar in an instant and went to prison.

"After being taught, a word of inheritance is better than reading a book alone for ten years."
