Yang Dong held the long knife tightly in his chest, nervous and difficult to attach, the prince asked her to dress up beautifully, where are you going to take her?

"Banker." Li Huai replied.

"A big local tyrant, we will have a banquet tonight, and we will also join in the fun, and Yue Qianqian will also go with us."

It had been nearly a month since his edict was issued, and villages had been built around it, but not enough of the people on the list had arrived.

I really don't take Lao Tzu's words seriously, so I have to go to the door to invite them in person!

When Yang Dong heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time was inexplicably a little disappointed, thinking that he was ...... What a good place to be?

They took a shower and changed into casual clothes, Li Huai was still dressed in plain white, riding on the little white dragon.

Yang Dong put on black stockings and a pair of leather boots according to his requirements, and the stockings were so troublesome that they didn't match many clothes.

The upper body is a white skirt with a stand-up collar and a slim waist, and the skirt opens back like a swallowtail, leaking out of the slender thighs.

The long knife that Li Huai gave her was pinned to her waist.

She looks extra sassy tonight!

When Li Huai saw her, he couldn't help but think of Guli Aisha, they did look a little similar, but in terms of temperament, they were two completely different people.

Yang Dong is not as eccentric as Aisha.

"Let's go."

Li Huai withdrew his thoughts and set off with Yang Dong, and they were outside the camp first, meeting with Yue Qianqian.

It had been nearly a month since he had been in the Northland, and they had met for the first time, but there had been a few correspondences.

Yue Qianqian also deliberately dressed up for this meeting, she was wearing that kind of full-breasted skirt with a gauze shawl on her shoulders.

It seems that I want to be generous with a net amount of dress.

But because of her small figure, round face, and some baby fat, she looks like a young lady from an aristocratic family.

Li Huai asked her not to salute, and set off directly, along the way, Yue Qianqian couldn't stop looking at Yang Dong, like Douyan.

Yang Dong also glanced at her slightly, although it was the first time they met, they had already heard of Yue Qianqian's name.

can be included in Li Huai's pocket, it is really a bit beautiful, but it's a pity...... She can't be justified after all.

Not long.

They saw an oriental-style castle, built entirely of rammed loess, boxy, with arrow towers at all corners.

The main gate was built like the castle gate.

A shell hitting it will leave a crater, but it will not collapse like a brick building.

Backed by mountains and surrounded by water.

There is enough food and grass in it, and the strength of a battalion may not be able to take it down.

This bookmaker is also interesting.

Since Li Huai arrived in Beidi County, the surrounding scholars have all died down, closed their doors, and no longer entertained guests.

All of them reduce the sense of presence as much as possible.

This dealer doesn't know what to smoke crazy, and at this critical time, he holds a birthday party with great fanfare.

He entertained all the surrounding nobles and officials.

I didn't take Li Huai, the king of coolness, in my eyes at all.

When Li Huai and the others arrived, there were already horse-drawn carriages parked outside, and there were few single horses, and most of them were two-horse or three-horse vans.

The servants they had brought with them, who could not go in, set up little tents outside, and baked fires.

The master's family was also polite, and even the slaves did not forget, and prepared tea and food for them.

They just arrived.

A hunchbacked middle-aged man dressed like a housekeeper at the door lowered his back, stretched his neck, and pulled a smiling face as if he had seen his mother.

ran that funny little broken step, came to Yue Qianqian's side, grabbed the reins, and knelt beside him on one knee.

Yue Qianqian first glanced at Li Huai helplessly, saying that she didn't ask them to do this.

Rather, they rushed to do so.

Seeing that Li Huai's face had not changed, she stepped on the man's back, got off the horse, and brought a gift.

"Old man Zhuang's birthday, I have prepared some small gifts, which are not respectful."

The hunchbacked man hurriedly got up, raised his hands above his head to pick up the gift, and then raised his head and said with a smile: "Sect Master Yue, where did you say, if you can come, our dealer will have more face." ”

"These two are the core disciples of my Thousand Moon Sect, and I will bring them out to see the world." Yue Qianqian introduced.

This statement was discussed before departure.

"Welcome, welcome, please come inside." The hunchbacked man said enthusiastically.

Yue Qianqian walked in front, and Li Huai and Yang Dong walked behind.

When you enter the door.

"Senior sister, please first." Li Huaili gave way.

Yang Dong shuddered for a moment and smiled playfully, "Senior brother follow." ”

"Okay!"

Li Huai farts and kept up.

When Yue Qianqian heard this joking conversation, she couldn't help but tilt her head slightly, she could afford to joke with the prince.

This man must be higher than himself.

She has an extra heart.

As Yue Qianqian walked to the front, passed through the front yard, passed an arch, and entered the second courtyard, it was a lot more lively here, and there was a lot of chatting everywhere.

Li Huai didn't find out that there were officials from Liangzhou, so there should be no such stupid person who came to join in the fun at this time.

When they noticed Yue Qianqian, the chatter immediately stopped, and they all stood on both sides of the road, their chins slightly in their mouths.

Wait for them to pass.

There was another arch in front, and Yue Qianqian passed through, because Li Huai was walking at the back, and he noticed it out of the corner of his eye.

As Yue Qianqian left this courtyard, the faces of those people immediately changed, with some playfulness and sarcasm.

He listened deliberately.

"Look at her like a big in a skirt."

"She has been able to be beautiful for a few years, and sooner or later there will be a person who is old and yellow, and that person doesn't like her anymore, and she immediately shows her original form."

"Brother, don't say a few words."

"What a sass!"

……

Li Huai is only in the Hinayana realm, and Yue Qianqian is the pinnacle of the Mahayana realm, and she is only one step away from the grandmaster.

He could hear it.

She should have heard it through a wall.

Why is she so calm?

After passing through this arch, you will arrive at the Third Courtyard, also known as the Middle Courtyard, which is the largest courtyard in this Wu Fort.

At the same time, it is also the main venue for banquets.

The dinner had just begun, and it was not yet time to eat, and everyone was gathered in groups of three or five.

Some people are chatting, talking about business, and talking about the news in Liangzhou, because Yu is relatively open, and everything can be discussed.

There are also people talking about today's facts, from the policy of Liangzhou, to the possible war between Liangzhou and the Western Regions, and then to the imperial court......

Anyway, it's!

There are also some old men who gather together to play cards and chess, and some noble ladies usually don't move at home, but when they arrive here, they all take out needlework, their clothes are not knitted a few times, and they gossip and talk a lot.

There are also some young ladies who deliberately keep enough distance from the adults, some are playing, and some are talking about some secrets in their hearts.

The dealer's sons-in-law and his wife shuttle through various occasions to maintain the lively atmosphere of the banquet.

Avoid coldness and embarrassment.

After Yue Qianqian arrived, the sons and wives of the Zhuang family, as well as the most powerful people in the local area, surrounded her.

It's like a shotgun in the artillery camp, flattering her all over the world, and as for what they think in their hearts, only they know.

Then, surrounded by a bunch of people, he entered an attic, as if to take her to see Old Man Zhuang.

Li Huai and Yang Dong were not interested in this, so they stayed outside, and they came to the edge of the crowd.

When I passed by a bunch of young ladies and young women, I was hairy by their eyes, as if I was afraid that they would hear some secrets.

Li Huai and Yang Dong finally found a corner that belonged to them.

"Accustomed to it?" Li Huai asked first.

Yang Dong shook his head and said with some restraint: "It's the first time I've participated in this kind of banquet, you should be familiar with these." ”

Li Huai also shook his head and said, "When I was in Luoyang, I rarely attended banquets, and I rarely followed those ...... It's the sons of the capital who play. ”

"And how did you spend it?" Yang Dong asked curiously.

"I don't know, I just came here, and now that I think about it, I feel that Luoyang is a completely strange place to me." Li Huai said with a self-deprecating smile.

Yang Dong glanced at him deeply, she could feel the kind of loneliness that Li Huai didn't say, which made them feel the same way.

Let's get down to business.

"You didn't just bring me here to join in the fun, right?" Yang Dong asked.

Li Huai pointed around, "You pay more attention to the surrounding environment and look at it with a military gaze." ”

Military gaze?

Yang Dong was very puzzled, did he want to fight here?

Although she knows a lot about the military, she is actually a novice in terms of political affairs and royal roads.

After Yang Dong looked around, he frowned slightly, and whispered: "This Wu Fort must have been designed by someone who understands the art of war. ”

Li Huai was stunned, "Why do you say that?" ”

"You see, the distance of each courtyard wall here is exactly the distance of an ordinary archer's arrow, beyond this distance, the arrow will not have enough power to break through the armor." Yang Dong pointed to the front and back courtyard walls and said.

As an archer, Li Huai could naturally understand what she said, so that every time he broke through the courtyard on the first floor, he would be tortured by the archers.

"Looking at the terrain here, the middle is high, the surroundings are low, and the angle is not big, but this distance is enough to roll the wood and stones."

"Also, the garden and the corners of the walls are piled up with sand, and so many wells have been dug for fire prevention."

"There is no water around."

"The most important thing is that these buildings are like a nine-palace array, the main building in the middle, leading to eight directions, people inside can shuttle at will, and those who come in outside are not familiar with the terrain and are easy to get dizzy."

"I roughly calculated the distance from the main building to the outside, and it should be just beyond the range of the cannon."

"But if you set up a cannon on the main building and hit it high and low, you can hit it outside."

“……”

According to Yang Dong's words, a wall, a building, and even a tree here have a military role.

To be able to design all this so perfectly, it must be someone who is proficient in the art of war.

So here's the problem.

How can there be someone who is proficient in the art of war?

Who designed this Wu Fort?

Li Huai looked up at the main building, "Do you think there are any cannons on it?" ”

"What?" Yang Dong was stunned for a moment.

"Collecting cannons and firearms without permission is a crime of beheading everywhere in Yu Country!"

What if there is such a daring guy?

"Let's go up and have a look." Li Huai decided.
