"But the king..."
Despite Liu Deng's verbal battle with Lotus Zhang Tu, he was still hesitant. He knelt on the ground and refused to get up no matter what.
"Okay, Master Taifu, I think it's better than this. At most, I promise you that I will only stay in the Chinese army camp, and there will be no less than fifty guards around me at any time. What do you think?"
Liu Deng was really helpless and could only say with a dark face.
"Your Majesty..."
Zhang Tu was still somewhat shaken. If Liu Deng could really do this, as long as the army did not collapse, there would most likely be no problem with his safety...
But can 20,000 Shenwu troops really protect Liu Deng's safety?
"Your Majesty, if you really want to go, I have one more condition!"
Zhang Tu hesitated for a moment, then spoke.
"Master Taifu, just say it!"
Liu Deng suddenly became energetic, and the old man finally relaxed...
"Twenty thousand divine warriors are not enough to guarantee the safety of the king. If the king really wants to go, he should draw 300 elite soldiers from the Mo Dao army, plus three thousand cavalry, to guard him at all times. If the situation changes, please ask the king You must put your own safety first!”
Zhang Tu's intention was obvious. Before the fight even started, he had already started thinking about what to do if the Shenwu Army failed to stop the defeat.
With three hundred Modao troops as personal guards, and three thousand cavalry fighting desperately, Liu Deng would be able to fight his way out no matter what.
The old man, the tutor, had done what he did now, and he was worried about Liu Deng. Although Liu Deng didn't think he needed to go that far, it was for the sake of his own life after all.
Liu Deng agreed without thinking. Originally, he was not prepared to bring so many cavalry. After all, the terrain nearby was too flat.
If these cavalrymen of Dai State really encountered the Huns cavalry on a large scale, they would simply be delivering food. Liu Deng really couldn't bear to part with those good horses, just returning to the hands of the Huns.
However, as long as it can make Zhang Tu feel at ease, it's okay to bring it with him.
After Liu Deng finally defeated Zhang Tu, he hurriedly rode out to the other courtyard.
The three old men have been waiting here for a long time. Logically speaking, Liu Deng should come over to see them the day he returned to Jinyang City, but the matter was delayed again and again, and Liu Deng himself forgot about it.
Now that he was about to go on another expedition, Liu Deng had to come over quickly to say hello to the three old men.
The bad idea he gave the emperor before was finally implemented.
Soon, someone unearthed a large bundle of bamboo slips in Lu Di. However, due to the accumulation of water in the tomb passage, the ropes used to weave the bamboo slips were all rotten, and many of the writings on them were rotten and invisible.
If you want to repair and restore these things, in addition to constantly checking for leaks and filling in the gaps, you also need a deep knowledge. In terms of the ink in your stomach, who else in the world can match these three old men?
So as soon as he found out, the emperor sent several doctors to Jinyang City day and night, and followed the three old men to wait on them.
When Liu Deng arrived, the three old men were arguing over a bamboo slip with some vague handwriting on it.
Even when Liu Deng entered the room, the three old men were not aware of it. The doctors had long been used to it. They all huddled next to them like quails, and no one dared to make a sound.
After all, these three are all ancestor-level figures. With just a few rookies like them, how can they be qualified to participate?
"Old man, you know nothing! How could this be the word "official"? This is clearly the word "history"!
"What do I know about farts? If I only know about farts, wouldn't all the scholars in this world be farting every day?"
Facing Uncle Gao's accusation, Han Zhi didn't take it to heart at all and directly retorted.
"I asked you two, can you pay attention to your demeanor? Do you understand demeanor? You are already this old, how can you say something dirty?"
Fu Sheng was leisurely frowning at the side, watching the two old guys fighting with each other.
It's not that he doesn't want to participate, it's because his eyes have long been unable to see clearly.
It may only be better at noon every day under the sun. In a dark room or at night, it is really hard to see things.
Otherwise, he would probably have made more noise than those two old men...
But it's really interesting to see them studying the bamboo slips there. Several doctors must be deeply short-sighted, and they want to stick them to the tip of their noses when looking at things.
However, the presbyopia of some old men is even more serious, and they have to carry it out to see things from a distance. The contrast is really strong...
There are more than a dozen words engraved on a small bamboo slip, and many of these words have been corroded by rust. It is really difficult to identify the handwriting on it.
Liu Deng suddenly felt that if he could get a pair of reading glasses at this time, it would be a great help to these old men.
Moreover, in terms of operability, it doesn’t seem to be too difficult...
etc!
If you have a magnifying glass, why not make your own telescope?
When he thought of this, Liu Deng simply turned around and walked away. Anyway, the old men were too busy to pay attention to him, so they might as well do something useful.
Since Li Shaojun left, Liu Deng hasn't been to the glass workshop very much, so they have to do everything by themselves.
But looking at the products they sent to the palace, their craftsmanship has indeed improved a lot.
At least the colorless flat glass they produced has a somewhat later-generation look.
The color is almost completely transparent, and there are almost no air bubbles visible in the entire piece of glass. It doesn't seem to be too difficult for them to make a few magnifying glasses...
After leaving the courtyard, Liu Deng immediately led the people to the glass workshop outside the city without stopping.
After hearing that the king had arrived, the entire glass workshop felt like a Chinese New Year. All the craftsmen worked hard and tried various tricks to show their current progress in front of Liu Deng.
It's a pity that Liu Deng has little interest in the new tricks they came up with.
Whether it was the newly blown vases or the few exquisite ornaments they had finally produced, Liu Deng didn't even look at them and threw them all aside.
"Who's in charge here now?"
After walking around here, Liu Deng asked directly to the obedient craftsmen standing behind him.
