,
Chang'an.
"Your Majesty~! Your Majesty~! This old slave has something important to report~!"
The West Garden of the Imperial Palace, the bedroom of Queen Changsun.
Zhao Song hunched over and stood in front of the door, with a look of anxiety and helplessness on his face.
He knew better than anyone else that Li Er was probably exercising with Queen Changsun at this moment. Anyone who dared to come and disturb the good things would probably end badly. However, Zhao Song was at his wits end. His subordinates should report such a big matter. Give it to him. If he doesn't come and report Li Er in time, he will be fully responsible for the accident.
"What's the matter~?"
After about three breaths, Li Er's muffled voice came from the room.
It can be heard that he is in a very unhappy mood~! Anyone who is woken up in the middle of the night is not in a good mood, let alone the king of a country~!
Zhao Song's heart felt cold, and he secretly hated the subordinate who reported this news to him. But now that he was like this, he still had to say:
"Your Majesty, the sound of thunder and bright fire just came from the northeast of Chang'an City. Now half of the sky is burning red, and that direction is Sheling Mountain. The old slave is worried that the army under Sheling Mountain will be attacked and the situation will change. I came here late at night to retaliate and hope that your majesty will atone for your sins~!"
After Zhao Song finished speaking, the room fell into silence. Li Er didn't say anything. Zhao Song could only wait outside the room, not daring to move. He didn't know how long it had been. Li Er couldn't listen. A voice full of joy, anger, sorrow and joy finally came out: "I know~! You go down~!"
Got it~? Is it just a matter of knowing it?
Zhao Song was really full of questions, but he didn't dare to ask them. He could only bow and say "promise", and then carefully exited the courtyard.
In the bedroom.
Empress Changsun, with disheveled hair and red cheeks, leaned on Li Er's shoulder and asked doubtfully: "Isn't Erlang worried that General Niu's men and horses were attacked at night~?"
Li Er came back from his thoughts. He picked up Changsun's chin and said with a confident smile:
"Haha~! Ten thousand elites surrounded and refused to attack a small sect with less than a hundred people. If the opponent takes the initiative to give up the geographical advantage and go down the mountain to attack at night, then I can only say that they think their lives are too long~! Besides, entering the Zhijun Army Be rigorous and never let anyone take advantage of any loopholes~!"
Confident men are the most attractive. Changsun smiled and leaned towards Li Er, and then asked: "What happened in the northeast that caused such a big commotion~? Erlang must have been so calm and composed. Do you understand~? Can you tell me~?"
Li Er glanced deeply to the northeast, and then said with a smile to Queen Changsun: "Guanyin will know what happened over there tomorrow, now~! Should we continue what we didn't finish just now? ~?"
"Ah~? No~!"
"The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful with the fire~!"
"Dang Dang Dang~!"
At the fourth watch (one o'clock in the morning modern time), in this era without TV, Internet, or computers, people have basically fallen asleep at this time, but there is one exception, and that is the watchman.
The profession of watchman has appeared as early as the Zhou Dynasty. "Book of Rites of Zhou" records: "Strike the watchman at night to compare it." According to "Cihai" the explanation is "the tree struck by walking at night", which is the same as the most commonly used clapper later.
The curfew system in Chang'an City is only for ordinary people, and watchmen are not included in this list, because in addition to the well-known functions of telling time, watchmen also have night patrols, fire prevention and theft prevention. If they encounter someone stealing, they will If you report the crime to the government, you can get a generous reward.
Therefore, watchman was a very respected profession in ancient times.
In Yongle Square, there are two old men in blue clothes and blue hats. One is holding a gong, and the other is knocking next to it, and they are singing in harmony.
Why are two people updating together~? Mainly to embolden each other~! After all, there are no street lights at the moment and everything is dark, which makes everyone scared.
As usual, the two planned to go home and rest for half an hour after the fight. At this time, a large fire suddenly floated towards them from the sky. What was even weirder was that there seemed to be a long thing hanging under the fire.
"Ghost~~Ghost~~Ghost~~Ghost~! Huaian, run!"
"You monster~! My mother-in-law~! Changgui, wait for me~!"
Both of them looked frightened, and they dropped what they had in their hands and ran away.
"Hufufu~! Wocao, this is not something that people do. Next time, don't pretend to be cool. Just stay at home and hold your wife~!"
Above the sky, Li Zexuan looked at the familiar mansion below, took a few deep breaths, and said depressedly.
The straight-line distance in the air from Chang'an City to Sheling Mountain is more than 20 miles at least. I used it as a humanoid "engine" for two trips back and forth. The most annoying thing is that there was still a headwind when I came back. Can this damn girl not be tired~? Grand masters will also be exhausted.
"It's okay, it's okay~! This wave of cunts finally succeeded, and those people's revenge has been avenged. You can go home and rest peacefully~!"
Li Zexuan controlled the hot air balloon and reached the sky above Li's house. Then he slowly turned off the fire, intending to let the hot air balloon slowly land in the west courtyard.
"Bang~!"
If you want to land, you have to unload the cargo first. After Li Zexuan dropped the hot air balloon ten meters from the ground, he untied the rope that tied the body of the Seventh Path Serpent. Hearing a "bang", the body of the giant snake fell to the ground, and then Only then was he ready to "land" the gondola.
"Who dares to come to Li's house to steal~!"
But it was the Li family's "guard chief" who was awakened by the sound of the giant snake falling to the ground. He hurried outside the west courtyard and shouted in a deep voice before breaking in.
"It's me~! It's not gay~! It's none of your business, go and rest~!"
Li Zexuan replied in a deep voice outside.
Pang Feiji was stunned and said in surprise: "The lord is back~?"
He also stopped in his tracks. He was so anxious that he almost forgot the rules. Women's families lived in the west courtyard, so it was inconvenient for him to go in~!
"Well~! Go and rest~! Don't disturb others~!"
Li Zexuan said lightly "Yeah", and then continued to control the hot air balloon to "land".
Pang Feiji could only vaguely see a faint light of fire in the yard outside, and he quickly said: "Yes, Sir~!"
After saying that, he retreated.
"Hey~! Quietly leaving the city, and then quietly returning in triumph, is this considered a secret shooting?"
Li Zexuan jumped out of the basket, extinguished the hot air balloon, and roughly cleaned it up. Then he dragged the body of the Seventh Path Serpent to the open space beside him and muttered to himself.
"Ms. sir, you're back~!"
At this moment, the door opened, and the candlelight in the room "jumped" out. Han Yuxi, wearing a thin pink cloak, stood at the door and smiled at Li Zexuan.
