Chapter 14 Thunder rolls in

Time passed, and Li Jing's drowsiness struck, but the perennial combat experience made Li Jing habitually sleep lightly.

"Bang!" There was a loud bang.

Li Jing bounced up from the bed in an instant.

Picked up a vase and prepared for battle.

But there was no fight, and Li Jing was the only one in the room.

He looked around, and after the crisis was resolved, he looked out the window.

There was no lightning or thunder, and no rain came.

Where did that loud thunderous sound come from? It must be man-made!

Could it be that it has something to do with the saltpeter mines that are being mined?

Li Jing put on his clothes and wanted to go to Grandpa Gui.

But he heard a hurried knock on the door, and Li Jing's vigilance was directly full.

"What's ...... Outside the Door"

"Master, it's me!"

When Li Jing heard this familiar voice, he knew that it was Lao Gui, so he opened the door.

"Master Qiqi, the loud bang just now came from outside the city, and the spies will get the exact news in about two days." Gonggong Gui explained.

"Out of town? Outside the city? Li Jing muttered to himself, wondering what could make such a loud noise, that even the city could hear it so clearly.

Gonggong Gui didn't speak, quietly waiting for Li Jing's orders.

"Go down first! Hurry up and report if there is any news. ”

Li Jing couldn't sleep for a long time after sending Gonggong Gui away, it seems that this Yizhou City has hidden mysteries, and I'm afraid that I will stay for a while.

Li Jing looked at the darkness outside the window and did not sleep again.

The next morning, Li Jing and his party were having breakfast, and Wang Meng was already waiting at the inn.

"Uncle! You guys snuck out last night! Sunan Ge asked with a smile while eating the cake in his hand.

Father-in-law Gui also explained with a smile: "We went out to eat last night, and Miss Su slept early in the morning and didn't call you." ”

I still eat, I didn't see you eat much at dinner yesterday, especially Emperor Jing, who basically stopped at a shallow taste. There must be something hidden from this princess, but this princess is not uncommon to know.

Sunan Ge glanced at Father-in-law Gui, and then ate.

Li Jing looked at this little girl who had no worries, and said, "Did Miss Su hear any noise last night?" ”

Sunan Song: "I haven't heard it!" Just like what Grandpa Gui said, I went to bed early and didn't hear anything. ”

Gonggong Gui and Li Jing smiled similarly, and then said, "Wang Meng has been waiting for us any longer, Miss Su still has to walk with us today?" ”

Sunan Ge's mouth was stuffed with food, unable to speak, and nodded hurriedly.

Both Li Jing and Father-in-law Gui were amused by this little girl.

After breakfast, Wang Meng took Li Jing and the three of them to the other end of Yizhou City.

As soon as he walked out into the street, Wang Meng was stopped by a group of people.

One of them, an old man with gray hair but a very strong body, carrying a basket of vegetables, stepped forward with a smile and said.

"Guards Wang, these are the fruits and vegetables I just picked out of the ground today, you can bring them back to the prince to taste. I've been busy with something these days, and I haven't seen you all the time. ”

Wang Meng lowered his head slightly, "Uncle, there have been distinguished guests in the city these days, and the prince ordered me to entertain them, so I was busy." I'll call someone to take it to the prince's Xiaoxiang Pavilion later, and now I'm going to take the guests to have a look. ”

"Good, good! These are the guests! The old man said happily.

"How old are you, old man?" Li Jing suddenly spoke.

"It's eighty and nine this year!" The old man, articulate and loudly, replied loudly, as if he was very proud.

Li Jing and the others were also full of surprise when they heard the age of this old man, "How can you still farm at such an old age?" ”

"Seed! Don't look at my age, my body is strong! And the prince has made us a lot of tools and solved a lot of troubles for us......" Speaking of the prince, the old man seemed to have endless words, and he talked endlessly.

Wang Meng stopped him: "Uncle, we still have something to do, you are busy first!" After that, I got someone to get the vegetables. ”

"Okay!" The old man walked away with his things.

After that, Wang Meng and his entourage continued to stroll, looking at the people around them like flowers.

Every family lives and works in peace and contentment, the old are supported, and the young are dependent.

It is not easy to do this, and it is not easy for the people to have enough food for the remote Shu region.

Li Jing suddenly remembered that when he entered the city, he found that there were almost no people in the farmland, but the entire Yizhou City did not look like there was a shortage of food

Then he asked, "The king's guards, I don't know why when I entered the city, there were fertile fields all over the land, but I could not see the people who were toiling?" ”

Wang Meng smiled and did not answer Li Jing's question directly.

He only said, "I'll take you outside the city to see, I can't say a word or two." ”

Everyone was interested in hearing that they were going to go outside the city, but only Sunan Song was sullen.

inadvertently said what was in his heart, "What is the prince doing?" ”

Wang Meng thought that Su Nange really wanted to know what the prince was doing, and replied seriously: "The prince has other things to do, and it is the same for Miss Su to tell me something." ”

Li Jing and Father-in-law Gui have seen Sunan Ge's attitude towards Li Ke in the past two days.

This can be regarded as a big harvest in Yizhou City these days, at least in the matter of marriage, the hope has become much greater.

However, Li Jing hesitated a little more in his heart, after all, the saltpeter mine on the land under Li Ke's jurisdiction was mined, and Li Ke could not completely get rid of suspicion.

Wang Meng and Li Jing were walking outside the city, but they saw many strange mounts on the way.

Two wheels, the man sat in the middle, kept kicking his feet, and then drove out.

"What is this? Can we give it a try? Sunan Ge looked at the thing that passed quickly in front of her and shouted.

Li Jing and Father-in-law Gui were also very interested, and also helped: "Why didn't you see such a novel car yesterday?" ”

"You don't know, this is a bicycle invented by our prince, it's not that you can't ask you to try it, but this thing has to learn how to use it first, otherwise you will ride it rashly and wrestle." Wang Meng patiently explained.

Grandpa Gui asked, "Bicycles?" What is a bicycle? ”

"Guys, let's go out of the city now! Those who come back after that will answer them one by one in the following. Wang Meng said and wanted everyone to get on the train.

At this time, Li Jing wanted to walk, so he said: "Wang Guard, why don't we walk over this time, I also want to see the terroir along the way." ”

If you don't sit on the train, you have to walk! You're not tired, are you?

Wang squeezed a smile, "The road is a little far, or ......."

Wang Meng didn't finish speaking, and Li Ke walked off the train at this time.

"Since you want to walk, let's walk out of the city."
