Chang'an City, Duke Wei's Mansion.
A tall, strong and energetic old man in a Chinese robe with white hair and gleaming eyes stood in the study and started drawing on the paper on the desk in front of him.
Sometimes he frowns in thought, sometimes he suddenly realizes, and sometimes his eyes are blank...
This is none other than Li Jing, who is serving as Minister of War this morning and is regarded as the God of War by the world.
Du Ruhui, Duke of Cai State, resigned from the post of Minister of the Ministry of War and was transferred to the post of Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, concurrently serving as the prosecutor and minister, supervising the revision of national laws.
Li Jing pondered for a long time, and then a pretty woman with bright eyebrows and windy steps came in from the door. She seemed to have martial arts skills at first sight.
The woman looked a little older, but she still couldn't hide the magnificence of her youth.
"Brother Jing, you have eaten, why are you still in the study?"
Hong Funu entered the study and said to Li Jing.
But Li Jing didn't reply for a long time, still staring blankly at the march map on the desk.
"Brother Jing?"
Hong Fu Nu approached and called, and Li Jing just looked up.
"Hong'er, wait a moment, wait until I finish reading and then go eat..."
"Brother Jing, what are you busy with? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Hongfu Nu was a little surprised and walked closer to see what Li Jing was looking at.
“Brother Jing, isn’t this a Turkic map—”
Li Jing frowned and put down his brush.
"That's right, I have to change many of the ways of using troops in the plan to attack the Turks. Two days ago, Your Majesty gave me two things, called sleds and sledges!"
"This thing is only made of wooden boards and wooden frames, but it can move food, grass and military equipment very quickly in the snow. Especially the sled, which can go down from a high place, even in the snow, is faster than riding a horse..."
"So I thought about how some specific attack strategies need to be improved so that they can be more effective in catching them by surprise."
After hearing this, Hong Fu Nu asked in surprise: "Is there such a magical thing?"
Li Jing slowly brushed his beard, which was like a steel needle, and said with a sigh.
"I didn't expect that no one in the army would come up with such a simple and convenient thing. The person who made it must be a talented person!"
As a commander who has studied military affairs for decades, Li Jing saw this.
The first thing I thought of was the huge military role of the sled and sledge.
Even if the road is blocked by heavy snow in the future, the movement of food and grass will not be affected. Especially this sled can definitely create a divine weapon!
"Okay, okay, let's eat first. The girl said she got a bottle of good wine today, and she brought it to you specially~"
"Oh? Let's not do it now!"
When Li Jing heard that there was good wine, his eyes lit up and he immediately put down the brush in his hand.
It's very common for military personnel to be fond of drinking.
Li Jing happily followed his wife.
After a while, the family gathered around the table.
Two siblings, Li Qingtang and Li Deyu, happened to be on the list.
Li Jing smiled and asked: "Qing'er, your mother said you brought a bottle of good wine?"
"Father, this is the wine my daughter brought back from Xiaoyaoxuan..."
Li Qingtang smiled and said to his father, and handed over the sweet-scented osmanthus wine Tang Sufan gave him that day.
"Xiaoyaoxuan? That pub seems to be famous these days..."
Hongfu Nu's eyes lit up and she took over the small bottle of sweet-scented osmanthus brew.
"The wine in Xiaoyaoxuan is very valuable. I've heard about it, but I didn't expect you to be able to find it?"
"Hey, isn't this what Brother Fan gave to my sister..."
At this time Li Deyu interrupted.
This made Li Qingtang glare, and Li Deyu shrank his head in fear.
"Yo? Brother Fan gave it to me?"
The Hongfu girl had a strange look in her eyes, and suddenly looked at her daughter teasingly.
"What's the matter?"
Li Jing took the wine on his own, opened it and smelled it gently.
Just this smell made Li Jing's eyes light up.
It is indeed a good wine!
Li Jing only had wine in his eyes, but the conversation between mother and daughter had changed.
Li Qingtang said quickly: "No, I just made a bet with a businessman and lost me a bottle of wine. And the wine was good, so I wanted to take it back to honor my father..."
"Well, my daughter is interested..."
Li Jing, who was sipping good wine by himself, praised his daughter for a while, causing Hongfu Nu to slap Li Jing hard on the hand.
Li Jing glanced at it in confusion, but saw the look on Hongfu Nu's face that looked like she was a fool.
"Qing'er, although I don't go out very often, I know the interesting things about Chang'an City. How could I have heard that the owner of Xiaoyaoxuan is just a handsome young man?"
Hongfu Nu looked at Li Jing angrily.
This damn old man has taken his daughter to practice martial arts since she was a child, training her so good-looking to be incompatible with men and women.
If you don't worry about your daughter's marriage now, why don't I drink you to death?
"Where, mother-in-law, what are you talking about..."
Li Qingtang frowned for a while, knowing of course that his mother-in-law was urging her to get married again.
And Li Deyu said with determination.
"That's right, Brother Fan is a good man. Not to mention his literary talents, he destroyed a Turkic man with just one look that day. His martial arts skills are incredible!"
Hong Fu Nu suddenly had a look called 'gossip' in her eyes!
Li Qingtang was already looking at Li Chongyi with eyes blazing with fire.
Hongfunu grabbed Li Qingtang and warned her with her eyes not to stop your brother from talking, and then asked Li Deyu.
"Chongyi, do you know the owner of Xiaoyaoxuan?"
Li Deyu glanced at his sister, but he couldn't hold back his anger. Forget it, his sister will definitely understand his good intentions in the future!
He directly patted his chest and said.
"That's natural!"
"Oh, tell your mother-in-law quickly!"
Hongfunu quickly grabbed Li Deyu, and the mother and daughter started chatting.
Hearing Li Deyu's boast about Tang Sufan, the will-o'-the-wisps in Li Qingtang's eyes kept rising.
Later, Li Jing became interested. He had never heard his silly son praise such a young man so much.
At the end, Li Jing's eyes were startled: "You said His Royal Highness the Crown Prince worshiped him as his disciple?!"
Even Hong Fu Nu's eyes were severely startled.
After a while, Li Jing was shocked again: "You said this sled and sledge were invented by Tang Sufan?"
…
Finally, Li Deyu took a sip of water and finished speaking.
If Cheng Chumo found out, he would probably want to slap this kid on the head hard.
His Majesty's concealment of identity has been made clear to several people and no one can tell anyone.
But Li Deyu still thought about it, and he had to say it for his sister, who couldn't get married.
There is no way, for my sister.
Only by sacrificing the small self to fulfill the greater self...
As for how my sister will beat me later, I admit it...
Li Deyu thought to himself very sadly.
The conversation... made Li Jing and his wife distracted.
This Tang Sufan is really a bit too mysterious.
Until the end, Hong Fu Nu's eyes lit up.
"Deyu, where does Tang Xiaolang live?"
"Aunt..."
Li Qingtang got a rare moment of embarrassment.
But it caused his mother to ignore him.
After asking for the address, Hongfu Nu said: "Hai, isn't it because I am very interested in this young man? I just want to take a look..."
Even Li Jing was moved.
"Then I'll go take a look when I have time. I actually defeated a Turkic man with one kick. Hey, what a martial arts skill..."
Li Jing tugged at his beard and looked thoughtful...
"You're looking at shit, I'm going to watch it! You're not allowed to go!"
However, Hongfu Nu's fiery temper suddenly came back and she shouted harshly at Li Jing.
This old thing is getting better day by day. Is it easy for me to fall in love with a son-in-law?
If you see someone with good martial arts skills and want to join your army, don’t even think about it...
