"Your Majesty, I heard from the maid who came out of the palace today that something interesting happened in Chang'an City!"
In the Xiyuan of the Imperial Palace, Li Er came to Queen Changsun's place to have a meal after finishing his morning court today. During the dinner, Queen Changsun suddenly remembered something and smiled.
"Oh? What's the matter? Maid Guanyin, please tell me!"
Li Er was thinking about what had just happened in the morning. After all, the fleet would set off south in two days. According to statistics from the Ministry of War, as of today, the number of merchant ships participating in this southward sea trade has reached 2,300. The size is truly rare in history, so Li Er couldn't help but be cautious. Datang is now in a critical period of recuperation, so nothing can go wrong! When he heard what the eldest grandson said, his hands holding the vegetables paused slightly, and then he pretended to be very interested and smiled.
The eldest grandson stood up and filled a bowl of soup for Li Er, and then said: "I heard that today the little maid next to Li Zexuan was wandering around the area from Anyifang to Yonglefang, holding a box that could make sounds on its own, but it attracted a lot of attention. Many people gathered around to watch.”
"Oh~? What kind of box can make sounds on its own? What the hell is Li Zexuan doing?"
Li Er was really interested at this moment, and he asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, I don't know about this concubine, but this child often comes up with all kinds of weird ideas. Once he takes action, it will definitely surprise people!"
Changsun shook his head and smiled.
She saw Li Er's worried look before, so she deliberately picked a happy topic to distract Li Er. She didn't care about the deep meaning of the matter itself.
"Zhao Song!"
Li Er nodded and called out.
"Your Majesty, this old slave is here!"
Although Zhao Song was far away, his hearing was better than that of young people. Li Er just called softly and he ran over immediately.
"What has Li Zexuan been doing recently? After that kid made the compass a few days ago, why did there suddenly be no news?"
In the harem, Li Er did not sit upright and look away like he did in the court. He had already forgotten the Confucian saying of "eating without speaking and sleeping without speaking", and he was eating delicious meals. , asked calmly.
"Back to Your Majesty, as far as the old slave knows, after leaving the Qiquge Workshop three days ago, the man from Li County suddenly turned back, and then he never came out again in the past three days. The little maid next to him also came later. The little maid who followed me in has been traveling frequently between the Li Mansion and the workshop in the past few days, and she should be delivering food to the Li County man."
Zhao Song handed over the report. If Li Zexuan were here, he would definitely scold this old eunuch for being a pervert for spying on him.
But to be honest, it's no wonder Zhao Song. Who made Li Er particularly interested in Li Zexuan's situation? This is called what is good above, what is bad below. After staying with Li Er for so long, Zhao Song certainly knows how to figure out the holy will and make preparations in advance.
After hearing this, Li Er felt even more strange. In his opinion, Li Zexuan didn't look like someone who could take time off. There must be something weird in this!
"Ha~! It seems that this boy has made big moves recently! I'm sure that the box that the little maid is holding today is what Li Zexuan has been tinkering with in the past few days. It must be a good thing! This boy, every time he makes something Good things are always hidden, and that’s what happened with the carriage at his house. If Qingque hadn’t gone to his house and discovered it, I don’t know how long he would have hidden it!”
Li Er raised his eyebrows and said decisively.
"Why is Your Majesty so sure?"
Queen Changsun poured a glass of wine for Li Er gracefully and asked curiously.
"Ha! Guanyin, you don't know this kid!"
Li Er picked up the wine glass, happily took a sip of the imperial wine - Immortal Drunkenness, and then said:
"For the previous curved shaft plow, carriage, and compass, this boy only took less than half a day to complete the drawings, and then he became a hands-off shopkeeper. This time he actually locked himself in the workshop for three whole days. And it seems that he has probably been fighting in person in the past three days, do you think it is strange? I am sure that this kid is working on something better!"
"What your Majesty said is not unreasonable. When you say this, I am a little curious!"
"Haha! That's just right. Maid Guanyin will follow me to this guy's workshop in the afternoon to catch him off guard!"
.....................
"Hey, sir, Miss Xi can receive the signal over there!"
In the afternoon, Li Zexuan started a new round of testing, but the errand boy was replaced by Pang Feiji, our legendary "Chicken Brother". This guy was also unlucky. As soon as he came to change shifts in the afternoon, he was captured by Li Zexuan as a young man. , for no other reason, just because this guy is strong and has martial arts skills, so he can run faster and easier!
As for Xiao Xi, this little girl was addicted to doing experiments, but she was very stubborn. Li Zexuan had no choice but to think of a compromise, that is, let a Wuhou who came with Pang Feiji drive a carriage to see Xiao Xi off. Went to a distant place for testing.
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Move one more mile further away!"
Li Zexuan spoke excitedly with a hint of vibrato. The effective communication distance of his wireless telegraph machine had reached ten miles, which was beyond his expectation.
What he first thought was that if this thing couldn't be transmitted far, he would have to use wired telegraphy. It would be more troublesome to set up wires, but he didn't expect that it would achieve such good results. It seems that the ancient space spectrum is still clean and free of interference!
"promise!"
Although Pang Feiji felt bitter, Brother Ji couldn't say it clearly. He had to bow his head when he was under the eaves!
Run! I have been in the army for so many years, and I still don’t believe that I can escape and do anything good! I heard that one of the servants almost suffered from heat stroke this morning. Hey, that’s because they were too weak!
Brother Chicken was filled with a sense of superiority at this moment. He really walks as fast as flying, is as light as a swallow, and is as fast as lightning!
………………
"Young Master! Miss Xi, over there... you are ready, you can send a message!"
After a few times, Brother Ji secretly thought that he couldn't stand it. He had martial arts skills but he couldn't do anything. Running around like this, even a master would have to kneel when he came! What's more, he is just a little scumbag who has just entered the physical training stage, he can't handle it!
"Well, okay, I'm starting to post here, you go back!"
Li Zexuan said lightly.
Brother Ji put his hands on his old waist, responded feebly, and continued on the long journey.
Half an hour later, Chicken Brother finally ran back again.
"Sir...little...Miss Xiaoxi...can hear the signal!"
After Brother Ji finished speaking, he didn't care whether he was rude or not. He picked up the teapot on the table and poured it into his mouth. He was really thirsty.
Li Zexuan frowned as he looked at it, and secretly thought that he couldn't keep this teapot anymore.
"Why are you coming back so slowly? Go and ask Xiao Xi to walk two miles further to see if it's okay?"
After Brother Ji finished drinking the water, Li Zexuan said.
"Ah~? Are you still running? Sir, can't you run...?"
Brother Ji had a sad face and almost cried.
"Why can't you help running? After all, you are also a capable soldier! Do the soldiers of Wuhou Mansion usually not train? Why are their physiques so poor?"
Li Zexuan frowned and said with dissatisfaction.
Damn it, Brother Ji really wanted to fight with Li Zexuan right now, but at this moment, a majestic voice came.
"Haha~! Are you able to point fingers at my army? You've become more capable!"
Before the person arrived, the sound came first. As soon as Li Zexuan heard the sound, he knew something was wrong, the wolf was coming!
With lightning speed, he pulled a piece of cloth, covered the telegraph machine, and then took the initiative to greet Li Er and Zhang Sun who were coming towards the room. He bowed his hands and saluted: "See you, your majesty! See you, empress!"
