Chapter 134: What's on the Nine-Story Stargazing Tower
The liveliness of the State Guest House is due to the appearance of various novelties in the rooms.
The repression is that there are too many high-level officials, and some of them have friction with each other.
However, this does not include Li Tao's father and daughter, they went to find Fang Yuan in the afternoon.
Fang Mansion.
Fang Yuan was not on duty in the afternoon.
I didn't go to the State Guest House to meet my colleagues in Hedong Province.
There are too many colleagues there, and I don't know which one to meet, so I just don't go.
It's just that when he was in the house, he received a report, and Li Tao brought his children to visit.
This surprised Fang Yuan and personally went out to greet him.
"General Li, it's a long way off."
Fang Yuan walked out with a few people.
Seeing that it was really Li Tao, he quickened his pace to greet him.
"Fang Tingshi is polite."
Li Tao returned the favor politely.
and let Li Danqiu and Li Siwen step forward.
They did not come empty-handed, but brought many gifts, and their children carried them in both hands.
However, when the three of them saw Hongxu and Qing Yuan, they were all stunned, and sighed that Fang Yuan actually had beauties from the Western Regions here, which was really an eye-opener.
"Come in, please."
Fang Yuan was not polite and let Hongxu and Qing Yu accept it.
Sometimes when someone gives a gift and doesn't accept it, it's disrespectful to others.
If you want to have a good relationship with the other party, it is best to accept the gift, and return the gift with a better one.
Soon, several people came to the living room.
Hongxu and Qingyu immediately made tea to entertain the three of them.
"It's only been a few months since I said goodbye last time, but it has changed a lot when I went to Liaozhou City."
"The history of Fang Thorn is well governed, and Liaozhou is changing with each passing day, which is really impressive, and the future is unlimited."
Li Tao touted.
However, in the past two days, I have indeed been shocked by the changes in Liaozhou City.
Although he came in a hurry last time, he also observed the situation in Liaozhou City.
It's really changed a lot from last time, it's shocking, I really didn't expect it.
"General Li, don't flatter me."
"Last time I helped, I haven't had time to thank you, please have tea."
Fang Yuan shook his head and chuckled.
"Well, this tea tastes better."
Li Tao tasted it and sighed subconsciously.
All he can buy now is high-end tea.
And Fang Yuan is a premium tea here, with a difference of one level.
"It's similar to the special grade tea I drank in the palace."
Li Danqiu looked at Fang Yuandao curiously.
There is still a big difference in the taste of the three types of tea: intermediate, high-grade and extra-grade.
Those who drink tea seriously will notice the difference between the three, and the three of Li Tao's father and daughter are all serious about tea tasting.
"This is special tea, General Li will bring some back later."
Fang Yuan didn't hide it, he smiled and said.
"It is rumored that tea was invented by the history of Fang Thorn, and it seems that it is not groundless."
Li Danqiu sighed.
Li Tao and his son were stunned and looked at Fang Yuan in surprise.
The father and son had never heard of this news.
"Now it's Du Miaoyan who manages the tea, and when there is new tea, he will send it to me to taste."
Fang Yuan said with a smile.
He deliberately said Du Miaoyan.
This can make Li Tao's family feel more powerful.
When the tea was delivered, they were even more grateful.
After all, the premium tea was given to me by others, and I was reluctant to drink it before giving it to them, which has a somewhat different meaning.
Sure enough, Li Tao's faces changed slightly after hearing this.
Du Miaoyan, Qin Huaiyu, Changsun Chong, Cheng Chumo. Are they really in Liaozhou City? ”
Li Danqiu was slightly shocked.
Yesterday, Lu Xia had already told them about it.
Although there is no longer doubt, there is no certainty.
Listening to Fang Yuan talk about it now, they were all a little shocked.
How could these second generations of magnates of Chang'an City appear in Liaozhou City?
None of them are from Hedong Dao, so they don't need to come over to greet Pei Lian.
"Yes, it's been a while."
Fang Yuan nodded.
The father and daughter looked at each other, with doubts in their hearts, curious about what they were doing in Liaozhou City.
However, Fang Yuan didn't take the initiative to say it, and they were embarrassed to ask too much, after all, it had nothing to do with them.
"By the way, Fang Tingshi, I heard that Pei Xiang came to Liaozhou this time, it seems that he has a intention to target you, you have to pay attention."
Li Tao suddenly remembered this and reminded.
"Thank you, General Li, I already know this."
Fang Yuan nodded.
At the same time, he was also a little surprised, and Li Tao reminded himself.
It's a friendly signal, at least not an enemy, but a friend, a political alliance.
"That's good."
Li Tao chuckled.
He didn't tell Fang Yuan at the first time, he just guessed that Fang Yuan already knew.
But speaking of it now, he wanted to send a friendly signal to Fang Yuan, saying that he was not an enemy.
With Fang Yuan's current situation, as long as he doesn't die in the future, then it is estimated that it will be sooner or later.
He is just a military general, and he still relies on civilian officials for many things, and it is not a bad thing to have a good relationship with Fang Yuan.
"General Li, when will I go to war against the Eastern Turks?"
Fang Yuan changed the subject.
Since Li Tao showed favor to himself, he couldn't fail to respond.
"It's almost planned, and it's estimated that it will leave in a month or two!"
Li Tao's face sank, and he said with a straight face.
When it comes to the national war, he is very cautious.
"In this battle, my Datang will win."
"At that time, the person who will make the greatest contribution should be Li Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of War."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
In this Tang Dynasty's battle to destroy the Eastern Turks, Li Jing commanded the troops, and it is normal for him to have the greatest credit.
But the battlefield is changing rapidly, and sometimes it is not uncommon for other marching commanders to take the head of the enemy's army, etc.
"Fang Thorn History, how can Li Jing compare with my father?"
Li Siwen was suddenly dissatisfied.
The current Li Jing is not a god of war, and Li Tao's reputation is even greater.
This time, with Li Jing commanding the troops, many people were upset about Li Tao.
However, Li Shimin's intention is very resolute, so no one can change this decision.
But Fang Yuan said this in front of Li Tao, which made Li Siwen, as his son, very dissatisfied.
Li Tao didn't speak, but his face sank slightly.
"I mean, I hope that the general will pay more attention to General Li Jing's itinerary when he marches and fights, and maybe he can intercept the military industry."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Fang Tingshi."
Li Tao pondered for a moment and said indifferently.
He was dissatisfied, but he understood what Fang Yuan meant.
Just now, he first showed Fang Yuan a friendly attitude, and Fang Yuan responded.
It's just Li Jing, he still needs to pay attention to the other party's whereabouts?
They are all marching chiefs, and it is impossible to say whose credit is greater.
"General, drink tea."
Fang Yuan sighed in his heart.
I don't know if Li Tao listened to it.
But in any case, the seed is planted.
When the Tang Dynasty's war to destroy the Eastern Turks ended, Li Tao knew that what he said was right.
At that time, the two may be able to truly establish friendship and become partners in officialdom.
Li Tao drank tea, but didn't seem to have anything to talk about.
"Fang Thorn History, did you invent everything in the guest house?"
"Those soft mattresses, toilets, red brick walls, etc., were all invented?"
Li Danqiu asked suddenly.
She saw that her father had nothing to say, so she finally came to ask herself.
She was very curious about all kinds of strange things in Liaozhou City.
And she also felt that Fang Yuan would probably be the one who promoted the development of the times, and now she was verifying.
"Not me."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
"Not you?"
Li Danqiu was even more surprised.
Isn't the green summer of the State Guest House said to be Fang Yuan?
Li Tao and Li Siwen also looked at Fang Yuan curiously, they were also curious about who made those things.
"I asked the giants to do it."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
Out of kindness to Li Tao's family, Fang Yuan did not intend to hide it.
These are not things to hide, but they are places of honesty between the two sides.
"So the idea is what you think, right?"
Li Danqiu looked at Fang Yuan tightly.
"Yes."
Fang Yuan thought for a moment before answering.
The idea was really come up with on his own.
But in reality, I didn't come up with it myself.
He is just carrying the things of the future generations and copying them.
Now that so many years have passed, there are many things in the future that I can't think of for a while, which is a pity.
"Awesome!"
"Sure enough, it's you, Fang Thorn History!"
Li Danqiu suddenly stood up and said.
She walked back and forth, blushing with excitement.
It was afternoon, and the sun was setting in the western sky.
The glow shone on Li Danqiu's face, making her look heroic.
"What's wrong?"
Fang Yuan asked curiously.
"I, I"
Li Danqiu was still walking back and forth excitedly.
Now not only Fang Yuan is curious, but also Hongxu and Qingyu are also curious.
"Ahem, my daughter is a little different from ordinary people."
"She seems to have an intuition beyond ordinary people, and she always has some strange cognitions, and I sometimes don't know what she wants to say, forgive me."
Li Tao explained awkwardly.
"Beyond human intuition?"
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and he became even more curious.
"Fang Tingshi, I think you can promote the development of this era, what do you think?"
Li Danqiu stopped suddenly, and then looked at Fang Yuan with swollen eyes.
Fang Yuan was a little unable to react, and was also attracted by her words.
However, what also attracted Fang Yuan was that Li Danqiu's eyes were very strange, not like the white eyeballs and black eyeballs of yellow people, as if they were black with gold in them.
However, she was quickly pulled back by Li Tao, so that Fang Yuan didn't see Li Danqiu's eyes clearly.
"Nonsense, didn't you tell you to stop talking nonsense?"
"Fang Tingshi, I'm smiling."
Li Tao scolded.
Pull her back to her side and sit down.
Li Danqiu smiled, but still looked at Fang Yuan excitedly.
"It's okay, it's pretty straightforward."
"Actually, I also feel like I'm going to push the times."
Fang Yuan shook his head and chuckled.
Originally, Fang Yuan didn't think about anything to promote the development of the times.
But when Li Danqiu asked this question just now, he felt as if there was such a thing.
For example, cement roads, toilets, honeycomb coal, etc., many things are actually not available in this era.
Even with the development of history, it took a long time to appear, but it was developed in advance.
In this way, I am indeed promoting the development of this era.
"Really, really?"
"Do you think so?"
Li Danqiu was very excited.
She told a lot of people how the other person was.
But none of the replies received were as sure as Fang Yuan's.
Either you don't believe it, or you just laugh and say go with the flow or something.
This made her rarely talk about her instincts about him.
This is true even for your own family.
Because the family doesn't believe in themselves very much.
"Yes."
Fang Yuan chuckled and nodded.
"You, you, look at my eyes!"
"Do you see gold faintly in the dark?"
Li Danqiu was even more excited.
She got up again, approached Fang Yuan, leaned over and opened her eyes wide.
Suddenly, a unique fragrance rushed into Fang Yuan's nose.
Fang Yuan didn't pay much attention to this fragrance, but stared at Li Danqiu's eyes.
The red floc and the young lady on the side also came over and looked at Li Danqiu's eyes with curiosity on their faces.
"You can really see gold faintly!"
Fang Yuan was a little surprised.
In this era, there are no contact lenses.
But Li Danqiu's eyes were dark, and there was a faint light in them.
can look at Li Tao and Li Siwen's father and son, there is no doubt that they should be pure Han blood.
"yes, how can there be gold?"
Hongxu and Qingyu also asked curiously.
"Hehe, my master said that I have a problem with my eyes, so I am much stronger than ordinary people."
"It's a pity that almost everyone around me doesn't believe it, even my dad is also skeptical, you are the first to believe me for the first time."
Li Danqiu smiled, his expression seemed a little proud.
She sat back down and looked at Fang Yuan with a smug face.
"This is a very good ability, use it well, and you can turn evil into good fortune!"
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said solemnly.
Although some magic is not credible, it cannot be said that there is none.
I Ching gossip and so on can play a role in turning evil into good fortune, or her eyes can also be.
"That's what I thought, too!"
"Unfortunately, it seems like it takes a long time for my instincts to be validated."
Li Danqiu said excitedly.
But soon, it became depressing.
"Fang Tingshi, you still believe her words?"
Li Tao was a little crying and laughing.
He doesn't say he doesn't believe his daughter, and he doesn't say he believes.
It's just that some things are very coincidental, and they just happened to be said by her.
On the whole, Li Tao only believes half of his daughter's intuitive words.
"Yes."
Fang Yuan nodded.
He didn't believe in gods and ghosts, and he hardly believed in metaphysics.
But for things like intuition, I still have a belief attitude.
"Fang Tingshi, you are so good, let's be friends!"
"How many years older are you, I'll call you Fang Yuan or Brother Yuan, how about it?"
Li Danqiu was overjoyed and said excitedly.
It's rare to meet someone who believes in him so much, Li Danqiu wants to be friends with Fang Yuan.
In the future, when he encountered something with a very accurate intuition, he would directly ask Fang Yuan's opinion, which was better than asking his father and younger brother.
"Nonsense!"
"I am commensurate with Fang Thornshi's peers, if you want to call it, you will also call Uncle Fang!"
Before Fang Yuan could speak, Li Tao had already spoken.
He knocked on Li Danqiu's brain and scolded.
"Called, is Uncle Fang called old?"
Li Danqiu said aggrievedly.
She looked at Fang Yuan, who was only twenty-four or five years old.
I am already sixteen years old, and the difference is only eight or nine years old.
Calling Uncle Fang like this, she felt quite embarrassed herself.
But the most important thing is that she wants to be friends with Fang Yuan, not a junior.
"Ahem, call Fang Yuan, call Uncle Fang old."
Fang Yuan coughed dryly and said with a slight embarrassment.
Indeed, calling Uncle Fang is really old, and calling Brother Yuan is not good.
After all, if you call Brother Yuan, the relationship between yourself and Li Tao will become that of a junior.
"Then, then it's called Fang Yuan?"
Li Danqiu looked at Li Tao timidly.
Li Tao snorted coldly, but did not refute again.
After all, Fang Yuan had already spoken, and he still had to give some face.
It's just that this daughter is so naughty that she almost lost her face.
"Fang Yuan, my name is Li Danqiu, Danqing Dan, Autumn of Autumn."
Li Danqiu got up and said happily.
"Okay, tea."
Fang Yuan said.
"I don't drink anymore, I want to go to the thatched house."
Li Danqiu grinned.
The heroic face was slightly red.
"Hongxu, you take her."
Fang Yuan asked the red floc on the side to lead the way.
Hongxu got up and invited Li Danqiu to leave.
Li Danqiu expressed his gratitude and kicked Li Siwen when he passed by.
Li Siwen immediately got up, and also said that he was going to the toilet and left with Li Danqiu.
"Fang Thorn History, it makes you laugh."
Li Tao said with a little embarrassment.
This daughter occasionally makes herself feel uncomfortable.
"It's okay, it's good, Danqiu has a lively personality, just be happy."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
Li Danqiu is a little strange, but it feels quite straightforward.
It's hard to be annoying with a girl like this, and you'll like it even more.
"This girl is just too lively."
Li Tao shook his head and said.
Because he has been in the army for many years, Li Danqiu also learned the habit of joining the army, a bit like a man.
Later, Li Tao discovered this problem and asked her to study female celebrities, calligraphy and painting instead.
Although I also studied, I felt more like a female general.
"By the way, it's not early, why don't you stay for dinner?"
Fang Yuan glanced at the sky and said.
It was already late in the evening, and soon it was dark.
"It's okay, thank you Fang Tingshi for your hospitality."
Li Tao pondered for a moment, did not shirk, and said politely.
Now my daughter and son have gone to the latrine, and it will take time to come back.
Subsequently, the two chatted about other things, from the imperial court, from the army, and from tomorrow to welcome Pei Lian.
Time passed slowly, the two talked happily, the sky had already darkened, and they needed a lamp to see the road.
But Li Danqiu and Li Siwen haven't come back yet, which makes Li Tao a little worried, and instantly thinks of that strange high-rise building.
"Fang Tingshi, you, is there anything important in your tall building?"
Li Tao said calmly.
He thought of his daughter's curiosity about it.
Went to the toilet for so long and didn't come back, probably.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Fang Yuan asked puzzled.
"I, I, I'm ashamed of you."
"My children may be eyeing your tall building."
Li Tao was embarrassed.
The two had a good chat a moment ago, and they had the idea of deep friendship.
Now that such a thing has happened, Li Tao feels that his face has been lost by the children.
"What does that mean?"
Fang Yuan was even more puzzled.
"They may have sneaked in, let's go take a look and stop them."
Li Tao got up with a red face and a black face.
I was embarrassed and angry in my heart.
"Don't worry, there's no one there."
Fang Yuan shook his head, but also got up.
He was relieved of the security of the nine-story stargazing tower.
But I'm not sure if it will hurt Li Danqiu and them.
So after getting up, he walked in the direction of the nine-story stargazing tower.
But they had only taken two steps before both of them stopped.
Because the people are back.
To be precise, he was captured by the giant.
Both of them had dirty and messy hair and clothes, and they were a little messy.
"Fang Yuan, do you know these two?!"
The giant looked at Fang Yuan suspiciously and asked.
When they caught their brother and sister just now, they said that they knew Fang Yuan.
Originally, he wanted to torture the two, but after hearing this, the giant stopped.
After thinking about it, he personally brought Fang Yuan to determine if Fang Yuan really knew.
"Dad, Fang Yuan."
Li Danqiu sneered.
Li Siwen also smiled, lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
"Fang Tingshi, I'm sorry, my children are not sensible."
Li Tao glared at Li Danqiu and Li Siwen fiercely, and apologized to Fang Yuan.
"Untie it."
Fang Yuan's face darkened slightly, allowing the giant to loosen his ties.
I really sneaked into the nine-story stargazing tower, which is really good.
Seeing that the two of them are just a little dirty in their clothes and hair, they seem to have a strong ability to steal.
Soon, the giant untied them, but he didn't leave, and sat aside to let Qing Yuan pour tea.
He didn't know if the two sisters had stolen anything, so he stayed back for an opportunity to ask.
"You're really angry with me, you are all ashamed of my face, and you still don't apologize?!"
Li Tao was so angry that he was half dead, and his face was as ugly as he was.
"Fang Yuan, I'm just curious about what's on it, I didn't think about stealing it."
"It's just, I just walked in accidentally, I swear it was."
Li Danqiu sneered.
Li Siwen also apologized on the side.
"How many floors have you reached?"
Fang Yuan frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice.
"Two, two."
"The mechanism is too powerful to go up."
Li Danqiu said with a smile.
was caught red-handed, and she was naturally very embarrassed.
But I didn't regret it in my heart, but I was more curious about the tall building.
There must be very, very important treasures on it, otherwise it wouldn't be so tight.
When the words fell, Li Tao, who was looking embarrassed, was shocked in his heart, and secretly surprised that the defense of the strange building was so terrifying.
Li Tao knew the ability of the children of habitual offenders, but he could only go up to two floors, and it seemed that there were really treasures in that tall building.
"It's good that you only go up to the second floor, and if you go up to the third floor, you may die."
Fang Yuan shook his head and warned.
I'm embarrassed to blame.
For the sake of Li Tao's face, let's pass it like this.
It's just going up to the second floor, and there's nothing unseemly.
"So scary?!"
Li Danqiu was surprised.
But the eyes were more curious about what was above.
If she can't see the things above, she won't give up.
"Well, it's scary, don't take it as an example."
"General Li, let's go eat."
Fang Yuan warned.
Then he looked at Li Tao and made an invitation.
"No, no, no, no face."
"Fang Tingshi, I will definitely teach these two ignorant guys a hard lesson when I turn around!"
Li Tao said with embarrassment.
He was embarrassed to stay for dinner.
The children were a real disgrace to him.
"It's just a kid's messing around, out of the way."
"We're going to have a few drinks tonight, and we're going to have some good wine."
Fang Yuan said with a smile.
Pulling Li Tao and walking in the direction of the dining table.
At this time, it is impossible to let Li Tao leave.
If he leaves now, there may be a gap between the two sides.
Li Danqiu is a child in the end, and there are no inevitable consequences.
Fang Yuan still cares a lot about the resources of Li Tao, a fierce general, and he has to reach an alliance.
No matter what dynasty it is, the person who holds the military power at any time is the most powerful.
Li Tao couldn't resist Fang Yuan, and was pulled by Fang Yuan to the dining table.
Li Danqiu and Li Siwen followed behind.
The two stared at each other, feeling like they were going to fight.
At the dinner table, Fang Yuan took out the newly refined high-grade wine.
As soon as the wine was drunk, after a few glasses, Li Tao's embarrassment disappeared a lot, and during the period, he pulled Fang Yuan to bow down.
And Li Danqiu had no idea of eating at all, his heart was on the strange nine-story building, curious about what treasures were on it.
The night passed quickly.
This day is the day when Liaozhou City welcomes Pei Lian.
