In Nanyang in May, all the staff were busy with spring ploughing, and Li Yu also put his main energy on spring ploughing production.

After inspecting the spring ploughing situation in Fangcheng, he went to Fangchengguan to inspect it.

After more than a month of preparation, Fangchengguan's guarding armament was basically perfected.

There were 300,000 bows and arrows in place, although not enough for a battle, but a small-scale siege battle could barely be dealt with.

Rolling wood and stone are also prepared a lot.

The most important thing is the thunder car.

A mine-cart battalion was specially arranged in Fangchengguan, and the mine-wagon was moved to the wall, and in the event of an attack by the formation, the mine-cart was the most effective means of countermeasures.

This minecart battalion consisted of 50 minecarts, each of which was operated by a gang and was equipped with an ammunition truck and a grain and grass truck.

Such a configuration is equipped in the field, and it is not needed to defend logistics vehicles on the wall.

In Fangcheng Pass, Li Yu met with Zhou Wu and Wei Ai, and explained to them that they should strictly investigate and do things carefully to prevent anyone from inquiring about the news and destroying the city.

Both of them took in mind the teachings of King Toku.

Li Yu also went to Yinshaling to inspect the situation of copper smelting.

Because of the increase in miners, the number of copper-smelting blast furnaces increased to 100, and the number of miners was 10,000.

It was guarded by 500 tooth troops.

It was already early June when I returned to Nanyang.

The ground is full of green seedlings, and the rain is gradually increasing.

The embroidered lady Bi Niang is about to give birth.

Lang Zhong and Wen Po in the city have already entered the palace.

Monitor the situation of the princess at all times.

"How's the princess?"

Li Yu asked as soon as he entered the door.

"Back to Your Highness, the two princesses have been tired recently and are taking a nap."

Xiao Cui replied softly.

"Well, you work hard, stay by your side, and there must be no mistakes."

"Yes."

Li Yu came to the bed, and the two sisters were taking a nap with a thin quilt, and a slight snoring sounded in the quiet bedroom.

Seeing the two of them looking haggard, Li Yu felt a pain in his heart, he had to take on the responsibility of his mother at a young age, it was really difficult for them.

Li Yu has adapted to this era, but he still has the mind of a modern person, although he does not dare to show it blatantly, but his inner thoughts often conflict with the current rules, which makes him very contradictory.

For example, those eight beauties.

Although he also loves beauties, it is difficult for him to flirt with beauties with peace of mind when he has a wife, this is his contradiction.

Especially the two princesses who are enduring pregnancy and childbirth, but they left them to find other women to be happy.

Spring ploughing is also over, and now Li Yu is ready to make some new attempts.

Seeing that the princess was sleeping peacefully, he quietly withdrew.

When he came to the front hall, he sent Wang Qian to him.

"Master Wang, you've been busy with the business at hand lately, right?"

Wang Qian gave a deep salute.

"My lord, you should do your best."

"Master book, you also know that the murder and gun snatching incident that happened in our Nanyang a while ago. The enemy's meticulous work is under our noses, and we don't know it. ”

Li Yu glanced at Wang Qian, and saw that Wang Qian lowered his head and was silent.

"The main book is talented, delicate and thoughtful, I want to set up another one, which you will lead to specialize in secret agents, external investigation of intelligence, and rebellion against personnel; Strict internal investigation and meticulous work to protect confidentiality. I don't know what the master book thinks? ”

Li Yu stared at Wang Qian after speaking, wanting to see his reaction.

Wang Qian said expressionlessly: "The lord has an order, and he obeys his fate." ”

"Hmm. I'll tell you how this dark division is doing. ”

The two talked secretly for a few hours before they made their thoughts clear.

Now the focus of the dark division's work is Zhu Quanzhong.

Therefore, first establish strongholds in Kaifeng and Luoyang, find a way to infiltrate the mansion of King Liang, and there must be nails on the mansions of Jing Xiang and Li Zhen, and know their movements at any time.

Outside the city of Kaifeng and Luoyang, a farm was set up, and pigeons were raised inside, and pigeons were sold as a cover.

Between Nanyang and Luoyang Kaifeng with carrier pigeons, after receiving Nanyang's instructions, and then sent into the city, so that it is safer.

If you want to raise pigeons, there were artificial breeding as early as the Yin Shang period, and in the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were pigeons that sent letters back and forth.

Li Yu found that someone was raising, so he asked Wang Qian to find such a person, raise a large number of pigeons, and transport the pigeons from Nanyang to Luoyang and Kaifeng, so that they could pass on the message.

As for Nanyang's message to Luoyang Kaifeng, you need pigeons raised in Luoyang Kaifeng.

The king moved back and prepared.

At the critical moment when Li Yu was worried about the princess's birth.

Wang Qian suddenly fell seriously ill and couldn't go to work.

After a few days, he resigned to recuperate.

This change flashed Zhou Kuan, Gao Shi, Li Huaixian, these old colleagues, how could they not have thought that although Wang Qian was slender, his body was okay, and he hadn't heard of any major problems, so why did he suddenly get seriously ill?

These people also went to visit Wang Qian's home.

Seeing Wang Qian's sallow face and anger, they were startled.

Li Yu heard about the situation, and personally went to visit with condolences, and the master and servant burst into tears when they met.

As a result, a few days later, the Wang family erected a mourning shed.

The king of the Dewang Mansion fell ill and died on June 25, the fourth year of Tianfu. He was forty-three years old.

Officials of the Nanyang State Government and the Royal Mansion all went to the mourning hall to mourn.

Li Yu appointed Wang Qian's son-in-law, Wang Houxie, to participate in the military for the secretary of the Dewang Mansion. The Wang family did a great job and was buried at the foot of Nanyang North Funiu Mountain.

Tonight, there is only a small crescent moon in the sky, and Funiu Mountain is like a dormant beast, squatting in the dark, waiting for the prey to appear.

Several black-clothed men suddenly came down from the mountain, holding shovels and other things, came to Wang Qian's tomb, and pry open the closed coffin with a sharp plan.

From inside sat a person.

If this is seen, I am afraid that I will really think that the corpse is being cheated.

The man looked around and whispered, "Come later, I'm afraid I'll really leave." ”

"Hehe, don't blame me, my lord, we're here at the right time."

"Did you bring it?"

"Brought."

The men dragged a corpse from the shadows.

Wang Qian took off the shroud on his body, put on new clothes, and several of his subordinates put the shroud on the corpse, and then put it in the coffin.

Everyone buried it with all hands and feet, and the tomb was restored to its original state.

The crescent moon on the horizon also disappeared into the clouds, and a bright light flashed in the sky, illuminating the earth and mountains in an instant, and then disappearing into darkness.

"Let's go."

Several people carried tools and flashed into the dark mountains.

Ten days later, dozens of carriages slowly drove to the front of Fangcheng Pass.

"Who?"

"Master Jun, we are traders who go to Xuchang to sell some game, how many masters will take it to taste?"

The driver of the car snorted, wrapped his clothes, and picked up a few pheasants.

"Everybody gets out of the car and checks the vehicle."

The soldiers rummaged through the contents of the cart, and the chicken coop was filled with cooing pheasants.

"These gentlemen will open meat for the brothers."

The little soldier picked up the pheasant in the coachman's hand and walked to the side, waving his hand, "Let go." ”

A small seal was stamped on the card in the merchant's hand, which meant that it had passed legally from Fangchengguan.

The convoy creaked through the urn city of Fangcheng Pass.

The coachman flicked his whip and made a crackling sound.

The pack horses in the car struggled to move their hooves and pulled the carriage out of the city gate.

The coachman glanced back at the plaque on the city gate, the three big characters of "Fangchengguan", and the sorrow of leaving home came to his heart.

He gritted his teeth, threw out the whip again, and muttered in his mouth, "Hmph, Li Xiong, you kid are waiting, Lao Tzu has made a great contribution and came back to kill you!" ”

This person is none other than Fang Liang, the former general of the capital sentry camp.

He was supposed to lead the troops well, but suddenly received a secret order, asking him to bring reliable personnel to Kaifeng in disguise, and someone would connect with him.

This secret order was written by Li Yu himself, and all the products were ready.

Along the way, they sold game while walking, and half a month later they came to Kaifeng City, Bianzhou.

The convoy stopped at the Wei family market, five miles outside the city, and sold game in the market, Fang Liang painted a meaningless mark on the earthen wall of the market, and checked into the Yuelai Inn at night.

Three days later, a young man from the city wanted to buy game, and he took all the wild eggs with him.

Because of the large quantity and the need for carriages, the merchant entered the city.

After the money and goods were exchanged, they returned with a horse-drawn carriage, bought some goods from the bazaar, and returned to Jingxiang.

"How? Have you arrived for something? ”

"It's here. 500 pigeon eggs, 5,000 yuan. ”

"Well, in a few days, I will go to Weijiaji to buy dozens of hectares of fields and hatch the pigeons."

"Yes."

When Fang Liang returned, his speed was much faster.

Li Yu met Fang Liang in his busy schedule.

This delivery trip made Fang Liang, the kid, lose a few pounds, but the reward given by Li Yu still made him happy.

After sending Fang Liang away, Li Yu went to the outside of Nanyang City, and there was a farm in the east of the city.

He left the guards on the dirt road and waited, and walked in himself.

This is a breeding farm.

A few hundred chicks had just hatched inside.

A pale-headed old man came to salute.

"Your Highness."

"Well, how's that?"

"The pigeons have hatched, they are growing well, and they will be ready for test flights in two months."

Li Yu followed the old man to check the pigeon cage, nodded and said, "Mr. Wu, thank you for your hard work." ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard."

Wu Laohan's accent was a little weird, but Li Yu understood it.
