For Li Qinzai, improving the range of Tang Dynasty's bows and arrows was just for self-protection. After all, he was about to move thousands of miles, so he quickly found something to offset his merits.
As for Li Qinzai's original intention, he actually doesn't like to have this kind of presence.
He is here to enjoy happiness, not to serve the people.
Today, the Tang Dynasty is on the rise of its career. The surrounding neighboring countries will arrest and destroy everyone. Even without the new weapons invented by Li Qinzai, the Tang Dynasty will still crush them how they can.
It's just icing on the cake, just do it occasionally, don't really take it as a career.
In contrast, Li Qinzai feels that his furniture is the real epoch-making invention and is closely related to his life.
The atmosphere when drinking with Liu Asi was a bit dry. In front of Li Qinzai, Liu Asi remained rational and did not dare to drink freely, let alone be dissolute.
The strict class is an insurmountable gap. No matter how approachable Li Qinzai appears, Liu Asi always maintains a sense of proportion.
I really miss my previous life, sitting with my friends at a late-night snack stall, eating skewers and drinking cold beer. Poverty is real.
After drinking a lot of wine with Liu Asi, it was already the second watch outside, and Liu Asi sighed with satisfaction.
At the end of the late-night snack, Liu Asi was about to take leave when he suddenly remembered something. He hesitated and whispered: "Fifth Young Master, I heard some news..."
"What's the news?" Li Qinzai was also a little drunk and looked at him sideways.
Liu Asi's voice became deeper and deeper: "This morning, someone from the Cui family in Qingzhou came."
"Qingzhou Cui family?" Li Qinzai frowned. He knew that the Qingzhou Cui family and the future wife he had never met before were from the Qingzhou Cui family.
"Finally...are we going to embark on the decadent and sinful path of arranged marriage?" Li Qinzai sighed sadly.
What if it's a pockmark? The kind that even facial masks can’t cure...
Liu Asi continued: "I heard that the young lady from the Cui family in Qingzhou... ran away."
Li Qinzai suddenly opened his eyes: "What do you mean you ran away?"
"He just ran away. He took a personal maid with him, packed his luggage, left a letter to the head of the family, and then left the house without anyone noticing. He is still missing. The Cui family sent people to search the surrounding area. did not find."
"I was probably afraid that Fifth Young Master would be embarrassed, so I didn't tell you about the visitor from the Cui family."
Li Qinzai's face looked a little strange. In fact, he wanted to run away, but to his surprise, the woman took the lead.
Could it be that she is also afraid that her future husband will be a pockmark?
Not to the point of not to the point of...
After thinking about it, Li Qinzai's face darkened: "I won't be cheated, right? Are you sure she is bringing a personal maid and not a young lover?"
Liu Asi said firmly: "He is definitely not a lover. The Cui family's tutors are still trustworthy. It is impossible for a girl raised by the Cui family to do anything immoral."
"It doesn't matter, just run away. The marriage will be annulled." Li Qinzai said calmly.
They originally planned to find an opportunity to propose breaking off the engagement, but since their future wife ran away first, the Li family just had a reason.
Li Qinzai was originally a little repelled by being tied to each other for the rest of their lives without ever meeting each other, but now he can finally be single again as he wished.
He is only twenty years old and is still a child. He should play for a few more years and find a girl he likes to fall in love with and get married normally.
For Li Qinzai, who comes from a thousand years later, this is the normal life trajectory.
"Do you know why she ran away from home?" Li Qinzai suddenly asked.
It's not that I care, but I'm really curious about the reason. In this not-so-open era, it takes a lot of courage for a young lady to dare to run away from home. Li Qinzai is really curious about who gave her the courage.
Liu Asi hesitated for a moment and said softly: "It is said... that Miss Cui is dissatisfied with Fifth Young Master and intends to resist the marriage."
Li Qinzai was stunned for a moment, then opened his eyes wide and said sternly: "Not satisfied with me? Not satisfied with me? My maid! Did I provoke her?"
Liu Asi said tactfully: "Fifth Young Master... was indeed a little bit like that before. Your reputation was really bad before."
Li Qinzai glared at him sideways: "Did you drink the wine for free? Spit it out!"
Liu Asi said with a bitter face: "Fifth Young Master, please forgive me. These words were not said by this villain. Someone from the Cui family came to apologize to the old man this morning. I eavesdropped a few words outside the study."
Li Qinzai's anger gradually calmed down.
Anyway, it doesn't matter about this marriage, there's nothing to be excited about. He neither loves nor hates her, but the woman from the Cui family actually dislikes him, which makes her feel a little emotionally uncomfortable.
Then I thought about it, hey, isn't this a proper break-up of the engagement? Is it time to say those sparkling words?
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don’t bully young people into poverty! Don’t bully middle-aged people into poverty! Don’t bully the old and the poor! Don’t be fooled by the fact that the tomb is poor! The tomb robber cursed and left...
The lines were too good, and Li Qinzai was a little embarrassed in front of Liu Asi, so forget it, let’s not talk about it.
"My mother-in-law ran away. Did the Cui family give me an explanation? If not, just break off the engagement."
Liu Asi shook his head: "Breaking off the engagement is too serious. It will bring bad reputation to both families. The Cui family has said that they will find the eldest lady as soon as possible and marry the fifth young master."
"The melons that are twisted are not sweet, so why bother to force them? If they run away, they will run away. Can't they just replace them with another batch?" Li Qinzai sighed.
Liu Asi didn't dare to say anything.
Wu Shaolang is indeed different from before, but he is still very jerkish when he speaks sometimes. It may take time to slowly change.
…………
After knowing that his future wife ran away, Li Qinzai felt a little happy for some reason.
Finally, I no longer have to marry a strange woman, and the air is filled with the smell of freedom.
He hoped that Miss Cui could run as far as possible. Li Qinzai even wanted to draw her a world map to guide her to South America, where there are chili peppers and hot pot.
Feeling drunk and feeling relaxed, Li Qinzai had a good sleep.
Early the next morning, Li Qinzai was woken up.
He was originally angry when he woke up, but when he opened his eyes, he was about to get angry. However, when he saw the person in front of him who woke him up, he immediately gave up.
The person who woke him up was his father Li Siwen.
Li Siwen's temper was even more irritable than when he got up.
"I'm still sleeping at three o'clock in the morning. Does the evil beast plan to sleep forever?" Li Siwen said angrily.
Turning over and getting up quickly, Li Qinzai put on his inner clothes and saluted: "Goodbye, my child..."
"Bless me! If I die after you make me angry, you can go and worship me on my grave."
Li Qinzai was a little confused. He was scolded for being clueless early in the morning, and his mood suddenly became a little bad.
"Hurry up and wash up and put on your clothes. I'll give you half a minute to burn incense. Then you can tidy up and meet me in the front yard."
Li Qinzai couldn't help but said: "What's going on?"
Li Siwen said angrily: "Today, His Majesty ordered troops at the Beida camp and summoned you to the camp to observe the ceremony. Don't neglect it."
Li Qinzai was surprised and said: "What does it have to do with me when the emperor orders troops?"
Li Siwen didn't explain, and started looking around. Li Qinzai's eyelids twitched, and he knew that his father was looking for a weapon to deal with him.
"My child, please wash up and get dressed now. Don't miss His Majesty's business!"
After getting dressed, Li Qinzai hurried to the front yard.
In the front hall, a eunuch was already waiting. Li Ji and Li Siwen were both wearing official uniforms and were talking to the eunuch.
Seeing Li Qinzai come in, the eunuch saluted with a smile, and then asked the three generations of the Li family to leave immediately.
Li Qinzai was pulled into the carriage in a daze. The carriage shook slightly and walked out of the city.
Before getting on the carriage, Li Qinzai, with quick eyes and quick hands, took the initiative to put his father and the eunuch together in a carriage, and he quickly rushed into Li Ji's carriage.
There was no way, Li Siwen and Li Qinzai seemed to be natural enemies. If father and son rode in the same carriage, the whole carriage might explode halfway like a martial arts master fighting for his strength.
Grandpa is kinder, at least he has a good temper.
In the swaying carriage, Li Qinzai asked puzzledly: "Grandpa, the emperor ordered the troops, why did he call his grandson to watch the ceremony? My grandson is not a general in the army, so there is no reason to join in the fun."
Li Ji sighed and said, "You idiot, have you forgotten the divine arm bow you made?"
Li Qinzai suddenly realized that it was still a divine arm bow.
"Why did the emperor order his troops?"
Li Ji glanced at him sideways and said, "You should pay more attention to the situation occasionally. It's almost autumn, and it's time for Master Wang to conquer the Nine Tielers in the north. This battle is related to the peace of the Northern Territory of the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years, so preparations must be made in advance. Today. This is exactly what the troops are ordered to do.”
Li Qinzai nodded: "My grandson understands."
Immediately, his expression became a little uneasy, and Li Qinzai whispered: "Will the emperor get carried away when ordering troops?" He suddenly pointed at his grandson and said, "I think you have the appearance of a general. I order you to go out as a vanguard and lead the way to kill the enemy bravely." go."
After a pause, Li Qinzai said anxiously: "My grandson's mother-in-law has run away with others. It makes no sense for my grandson to go to the battlefield and die. The emperor must be reasonable..."
