Chapter 13: Gathering the Stars
Li Qinzai was furious.
I never thought that as soon as my eyes were closed and opened, people were alive and the money was gone, oh~~
The housekeeper Wu Tong hurriedly came, and bowed to Li Qinzai with a wry smile.
"Report to the officer! People are in the inner house, and the money is stolen, how rampant! Report to the police immediately! Lee was angry.
Although he is not worried about food and clothing, Li Qinzai was born poor in his previous life, and he lived a tight life after work, and he attached much more importance to money than the children of the powerful in this era.
"Wu Shaolang, Wu Shaolang is angry, your money is not stolen, but ......" Wu Tong explained sweatingly.
"And what?"
Wu Tong snorted for a long time and said softly: "Last night, Erlang had an order, since the fifth young man has been released by the special decree of the Son of Heaven and does not need to be exiled to Lingnan again, then the money given to you by the old prince and Erlang will naturally be recovered." β
"Retracted?" Li Qinzai's anger calmed down instantly.
Wu Tong said embarrassedly: "Last night, Lao Yu wanted to explain to Wu Shaolang in person and then take it back, but Wu Shaolang went to bed early last night, and Erlang sent someone to urge him a few times, and Lao Yu was bold, so he had to take your silver cake and hand it back to the account room first, planning to explain to you this morning and make amends......
Li Qinzai sighed and said lightly: "It's good that it's not stolen, take it back." β
Wu Tong blinked in disbelief, just forget it?
After the five young men underwent great changes, his temperament was really different. If the money is gone, it will inevitably be full of scolding and scolding, and the Li family will have to jump for a while, and finally it will die down under Li Siwen's strong suppression.
Li Qinzai didn't pretend, he heard that the money was ordered to be recovered by his father, so he completely calmed down his anger.
It wasn't the money I earned myself, and it was only natural to take it back, it doesn't matter, it's still a long time.
As a traverser, if you can't even make money, it's better to find a maid to die of a small health care.
Such a reasonable young master, Steward Wu is very grateful.
After thanking him and not leaving, Wu Tong continued: "Fifth Young Lang, the old man has an order this morning, please Wu Shaolang be neatly dressed, don't go out, there are guests visiting in the afternoon." β
"Grandfather's guest, I don't need to see it, I'm going to go out for a while......"
"Fifth Shaolang, you can't go out, the grounding order given to you by Erlang hasn't been canceled yet." Wu Tong smiled awkwardly.
"Too much deception!" Lee Chin-jae was a little angry again.
The money is gone, and I am not allowed to go out, how can I make money if I don't go out?
"Wu Shaolang is angry, your eyes are red, obviously you are on fire again, the old decay has a peerless prescription......"
Before he finished speaking, Li Qinzai said helplessly: "You shut up......"
With his hands subconsciously in his trouser pockets, like a middle-aged man who is down, he lights a cigarette when he is cornered, inhales deeply, and then exhales slowly, exhaling half of his bitterness.
However, Lee had no cigarettes and no trouser pockets......
Rubbing his face vigorously, Li Qinzai looked at the sky in the distance with vicissitudes of life, and said quietly: "I don't want to see guests, I just want to make money." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Whether Li Qinzai wanted to see him or not, the guests still came after all.
After noon, the subordinates of the Li Mansion walked quickly to the front hall one by one.
"General Zuo Wuwei, Xing Guogong Su Dingfang pays homage to Lao Guogongββ"
"General of the Right Guard, Liang Jianfang, the Duke of Yanmen County, pays homage to the old Guogongββ"
"General Zuo Xiaowei, how can you pay homage to the old prince of the countryββ"
"General Zuo Wuwei, Xue Rengui, a man from Hedong County, pays homage to the old manββ"
In just half an hour, the Li family's mansion will shine brightly and heroes will gather.
They are all famous generals in the world, and they are all pillars of the country, and all the generals will stand in front of Li Tao in a line, and bow down at the same time.
Li Tao was dressed in a civilian robe, sat upright in the hall, and received the gifts of the generals with a golden sword.
The prestige of the British Duke in the Tang Army can be seen.
Although they are famous generals, they are all heroic warriors, and after a few lines of etiquette, the generals unceremoniously let go of the remains.
Liang Jianfang, the general of the right guard, immediately sat in the guest seat, patted the table vigorously, and said loudly: "Hurry up, bring the wine and food quickly, the old man heard the news last night, and came from the Beida camp outside the city early in the morning, and he didn't eat a bite of food, and the old man starved to death!" β
Xing Guogong Su Dingfang sneered: "It is not so easy for people with wine bags and rice bags to starve to death. β
Liang Jianfang was stunned for a moment, and then he was furious: "The surname is Su, but it is not good to bully my old Liang Ma Lance!" β
Tie Lefan gloated and poked the fire at the side of Qi Bi He Li: "Lao Liang, the surname Su must be deceiving you Ma Li, I don't know what you think, anyway, I can't bear it if I change the old man." β
Su Dingfang glared at He Li coldly: "You are not a good thing, if you are not convinced, what if you go with the wine bag and rice bag surnamed Liang?" How fearful the old man is! β
In the front hall of the Li family, only Xue Rengui, a man from Hedong County, had a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound.
Many famous generals gathered together, Xue Rengui was the youngest, everyone was a famous general of the Zhenguan Dynasty, and only Xue Rengui really came out after Li Zhi ascended the throne.
In terms of seniority in the army, Xue Rengui is really a little bit worse.
It's not for nothing that the veterans spit trash talk on each other when they meet.
Since the beginning of the Zhenguan Dynasty, the veterans have fought for the battle, for the merits, for the spoils, for the title, for the rewards, and the bullshit has been fighting for most of their lives, I don't know how many grievances they have accumulated, and naturally there are no good words after meeting.
A few words are not dealt with, and the front hall is about to fight.
Li Tao, who was sitting in the main seat, was commonplace, and he was also a little impatient, knocked on the table, and said coldly: "If you want to fight, go out to fight, you were killed by the old man and buried, and the one who came back alive will talk to the old man again." β
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall did not dare to speak, and sat down one after another.
The British Duke was the first person in the Tang Army, and no one dared to disobey his words.
"Old man, I heard that your grandson has made a novelty that can double the range of bows and arrows? Is this true? Lao Su came here today for this purpose. Su Dingfang looked at Li Tao expectantly.
Everyone was eager.
Others may not understand, but the generals in the army know better than anyone how important a bow and arrow with double range is to a war.
Seize the enemy first, to the enemy can not be far away, the battle together, the range of double the range of the rain of arrows, is to seize the opportunity, the victory.
Li Qinzai invented the divine arm bow just yesterday, and as soon as the news spread, many famous generals came to visit today, which shows how much attention the generals attach to this new weapon.
Facing the eager eyes of the generals, Li Tao stroked his beard slowly, and his heart was filled with a long-lost sense of pride.
It's cool! Although most of everyone's children and grandchildren are waste materials, the waste materials of the old man's family at least hit the luck, created the magic arm bow, and made contributions to the Tang Society.
And the scrap wood of your house...... That's pure scrap.
Throwing my family's waste wood into the waste pile in Chang'an City is also an existence that stands out from the crowd. Hehe, cool!
Although it's cool, it's weird, but Li Tao just feels cool, cool for no reason.
"Indeed, my family is ruined...... The old man's grandson was created, after the old man dedicated to His Majesty, His Majesty was very happy, this thing is called "God Arm Bow", the full bow can go to 200 steps away, and wear the poplar and pass, without losing the accuracy of the head. Li Tao said slowly.
Su Dingfang said excitedly: "'Divine Arm Bow'!" Just listen to the name! Quick, old man, let us open our eyes! β
The corners of Li Tao's mouth hooked: "Open your eyes!" This thing has been dedicated to Your Majesty, and you will not see it. β
The generals were stunned for a moment, and then disappointed.
Li Tao said unhurriedly: "But...... His Majesty has decreed that the Ministry of Industry and the Ordnance Supervision Craftsman will make every effort to build the Divine Arm Bow at any cost, and there are still a few months before the autumn, and within a few months, the army will be equipped with 10,000 Divine Arm Bows. β
"In the autumn of the king's division to the north to conquer Tiele nine surnames, this bow can shine, everyone, this victory has been decided, it depends on who has the ability to ask for the position of leader from Your Majesty."
In the front hall, Li Tao poked the fire with two words, and the people in the hall glared at each other, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger and stronger.
Before the Son of Heaven set out on the expedition, if these people were beaten half-through, wouldn't the leader be me? Zenya!
Everyone's hearts were full of evil, and this thought came to mind.
After a short silence, Liang Jianfang suddenly laughed and said: "Let's not talk about this matter for a while, haha, the Divine Arm Bow was created by the old man's noble grandson, it can be seen that the famous bastard of the Li family has turned into a unicorn, why don't the old man summon him out to see him, and our elders should be affectionate." β
