After explaining Yao Rui's money and grain, Yang Dong hurried back to the palace.
He was not worried about his promise to Shen Laosan.
Anyway, His Majesty had already thought of it and sent Lei Qiang from the Huwei Army to go with him.
In this case, does this act of prostitution count as a waste of money?
Anyway, it’s not a loss.
As soon as Yang Dong returned to the House of Internal Affairs, the young eunuch from the West Factory immediately came over to inform him.
"Mr. Yang, where have you been?"
"Your Majesty's valet, Qingniao, has been waiting for you for a long time!"
"By the way, the Lin Si you brought back was killed with a sword because he offended Qingniao..."
He was actually beheaded directly?
A flash of astonishment flashed across Yang Dong's face, and he was secretly wary.
When you see a blue bird again in the future, you should still maintain an appropriately respectful attitude.
It's not that the young master is afraid of her, it's mainly because she helped him this time.
Well, that’s right!
…
Shangqing Palace,
The empress snorted coldly, and there was a bit of coldness in Danfeng's eyes.
"Xiao Dongzi, you dare to take advantage of me, you are so brave!"
"Do you really think I don't understand your little thoughts?"
Yang Dong didn't explain at all and bowed his head.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong!"
"I really have no choice, so I made this decision."
"I'm just a servant, how dare I offend the Queen!"
"Are you really afraid?"
The empress sneered and said:
"Why do I think you are so in love with the queen?"
Yang Dong's heart sank, and he immediately said seriously:
"Your Majesty, this must be an illusion."
"If it weren't for Your Majesty, why would I look at the Queen one more time?"
"In my mind, Your Majesty is the most beautiful woman in the world."
The empress's eyebrows trembled slightly, and a joyful look appeared on her majestic face.
As the saying goes, women should look good to please themselves. Even if Ji Ziyue is an emperor, she will not be exempt from the vulgarity.
Realizing that she had lost her composure, the empress coughed slightly and said again:
"That's all. For the sake of your loyalty to me, I will spare you this time."
"Let's get down to business, what is the use of the iron block you asked Xichang to send me?"
Seeing the empress lift the horseshoe, a look of pride appeared on Yang Dong's face.
"Your Majesty, this thing is called a horseshoe. I specially ordered a craftsman to make it as a gift to Your Majesty."
"A gift for me?"
The empress was secretly happy inside, but she still maintained her majesty on the outside.
"That's right, Your Majesty, please don't underestimate this horseshoe. With it, the combat power of my cavalry can be doubled!"
"Is this true!?"
Empress Feng's eyes widened, she suddenly stood up from the dragon chair and walked to Yang Dong.
Smelling the familiar fragrance again, Yang Dong felt slightly disturbed.
But he didn't dare to mess around, especially with the blue bird still watching.
So he took a deep breath and told the empress about the wonderful use of horseshoes.
The function of horseshoes is actually very simple. In a nutshell, it protects the horse's cuticle. Commonly known as, nails.
The cavalry training of the Great Zhou Dynasty involves many combat tasks, which often wears out the cuticles of horses.
Therefore, in order to maintain the strength of the cavalry in the Zhou Dynasty, one soldier was usually equipped with two horses.
But the meaning of horseshoes is to protect the cuticles of horses by driving iron blocks into them.
In this way, each cavalry only needs to be equipped with one war horse.
As for the extra war horse, he only needs to find a soldier to train it, and he will become a cavalryman again.
This is what Yang Dong calls a doubling of combat power!
After understanding the usefulness of horseshoes, the empress looked at Yang Dong with even more intense eyes.
"Xiao Dongzi, I really didn't realize that you are so capable!"
"If you are interested in joining the imperial court as an official, how about I make you the Minister of Works?"
Be an official?
Don’t go!
Where can I feel comfortable outside in the palace?
With the Empress covering her, she can sleep with all kinds of beauties in the palace.
Enter the court as an official? The dogs shook their heads after hearing this.
Yang Dong refused immediately without saying a word.
"I have no interest in being an official. I just want to be with His Majesty."
"Besides, this horseshoe is just a casual creation. To be a serious treasure, it must be gunpowder."
gunpowder?
Upon hearing this unfamiliar term, the Empress frowned slightly.
"Xiao Dongzi, what is the gunpowder in your mouth?"
"Is it some kind of medicinal material?"
Yang Dong immediately shook his head,
"No, this gunpowder is a weapon of war. It is no exaggeration to say that with gunpowder, there will be no invincible city gate in this world."
"It's just that I haven't had time to visit Mr. Lu yet, so I'm not sure whether the gunpowder has been made yet."
"But it should be almost done. After all, once you master the formula proportions, it's actually not that difficult to make."
The empress was fascinated by these words.
If Xiao Dongzi hadn't boasted, then this gunpowder was indeed a powerful siege weapon.
Thinking of this, she said to the blue bird beside her:
"Qingniao, go to Leng Palace and see if the gunpowder can be made?"
"yes."
…
After Qingniao left the study,
In the entire study, only the empress and Yang Dong were left.
The dim candlelight added a blush to the empress' fair skin.
The two looked at each other, but there was no topic of conversation for a while. At this time, an ambiguous atmosphere was quietly brewing.
"I heard that the Queen summoned you to the Splendid Palace?"
The empress pretended to be majestic and asked.
"Well, the Queen asked me to go."
Yang Dong nodded and looked at the empress with slight surprise.
It's strange why Ji Ziyue suddenly asked about this matter.
Doesn’t she talk a lot about national affairs on weekdays?
And her tone today was weird.
"You don't see her often when you have nothing to do. I don't like women who act loose."
The empress spoke again, her tone still strong, but it seemed to contain some inexplicable emotions.
Yang Dong thought to himself,
It's up to you what type you like. I just like people who act loose, right?
But on the surface, he still maintained respect for the empress.
But this respect was completely shattered in just one second.
Because Yang Dong saw the coquettishness of an ordinary girl in the majestic face of the empress.
Just imagine, a stunningly beautiful queen suddenly reveals a bit of the coquettishness of a little girl.
With such lethality, even Yang Dong, who has experienced the baptism of island country movies, can't help but fall in an instant!
Yang Dong felt his head was hot and his legs were congested.
By some strange coincidence, he stepped forward and hugged Ji Ziyue's delicate body!
"Xiao Dongzi, what are you doing!?"
Ji Ziyue let out a sweet cry, and her heart was instantly confused.
She was obviously a ninth-grade martial artist, but at this moment she found herself defenseless.
Her delicate body was soft, her cheeks were hot, and her thighs were covered in mud.
When Yang Dong saw Ji Ziyue's charming appearance, the last remaining sanity was lost in the fire of desire.
He leaned forward and took the empress's ear in his mouth, sucking in the alluring fragrance.
A pair of big hands were also not idle, wandering around Ji Ziyue's delicate body like two agile pythons.
Ji Ziyue's cheeks were red, her breath was like blue, and her eyes were already covered with mist.
"Well~ Xiao Dongzi, stop it quickly!"
