Zhang Yang stepped forward quickly. The two naughty children ran away and the wooden bolt of the laboratory was pried open.

Entering the laboratory, the two children indeed lit the gunpowder bag.

The place is filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke.

Finally, Aunt Yang captured the two cubs.

Zhang Yang looked at the children carefully, confirmed that they were not injured by the bomb, and said: "If you dare to enter the laboratory again in the future, you will not be able to eat barbecue for a month."

Especially Xiao Qingqing, this child still looks stubborn.

The child was difficult to manage, and Zhang Yang held his forehead in distress.

Aunt Yang whispered: "I'll take them to wash up."

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Auntie."

With the doting of the two aunts and Li Yuan protecting them, they saw their children moving forward bravely on the lawless road.

Zhang Yang always felt that the future would be even more difficult.

When the two boys came back and put on new clothes, Li Yue still punished them, so he knelt down in the house and wrote their names as punishment.

Zhang Yang put an iron lock on the laboratory, and after trying it, it was still strong, so he felt relieved.

The autumn in Lishan is colorful, with green bamboo forests, yellow leaves on the fruit trees, and dots of persimmons.

Not long after the morning sun rose from the sky, Xin An sat on Xiong Er's back and followed her sister all the way down the mountain.

Xiao Qingqing sat cross-legged on Xiong Da's back and whispered: "Don't think about the money in the warehouse all day long."

"Why?"

Xin An asked while eating a piece of cake.

Xiao Qingqing pursed her lips and said helplessly: "Dad said that real wealth is never money, and wealth is not equal to money."

Xin Xin'an asked curiously: "Sister, isn't wealth just money?"

Xiao Qingqing asked again: "Where does Lishan's wealth come from?"

"money!"

Hearing his brother's reply without thinking, Xiao Qingqing imitated his father and sighed in frustration, and whispered: "Lishan's wealth comes from the villagers, reputation is our biggest reliance here, and manpower and technology are our greatest wealth. "

"Well, brother understands."

"Taoist Master Yuan is probably at the entrance of the village." Xiao Qingqing patted Xiong Da on the head and said, "Let's go and meet his old man."

Xiong Da and Xiong Er speed up.

Xiao Qingqing grabbed the big bear's ears and made him run towards the entrance of the village.

Xiong Er will follow in Xiong Da's footsteps.

The two children were wearing beautiful clothes and riding bears and walking very slowly.

Holding a whisk in his hand and wearing a thin Taoist robe, Yuan Tiangang, who has an air of immortality and Taoism, is standing here.

He was not afraid when he saw two bears approaching, half as tall as a man.

Xiong Da and Xiong Er stopped in front of people.

Yuan Tiangang said: "Little baby, have you thought about becoming an old disciple?"

Xing'an looked at her sister's face and asked, "Why does Taoist Yuan want to accept my sister as a disciple?"

Yuan Tiangang stroked his beard and said, "She has talent."

"what about me?"

Yuan Tiangang glanced at him and said, "You didn't."

Xin Xin'an pursed her lips aggrievedly and said, "Diligence can make up for clumsiness!"

"Hahaha..." Yuan Tiangang said again: "According to Lishan's numeracy skills, one can indeed make up for it later in life, because Lishan can make complex numerology simple."

Yuan Tiangang looked at Xiao Qingqing and said, "Are you willing to become a disciple of the old Taoist?"

Xiao Qingqing crossed her arms in front of her, raised her chin and said, "I don't want to be a Taoist nun."

Yuan Tiangang smiled and said, "You worship the old Taoist as your teacher. You don't need to join the Taoist sect, you are just a disciple."

"But I am already the queen's disciple."

"Little baby, you have so many teachers in Lishan, such as Li Yaoshi, Hongfu Nu, Ouyang Xun..."

At this point, Yuan Tiangang stroked his beard and said: "The art of numerology is profound and boundless. The old Taoist has been unable to calculate the ultimate principles of heaven and earth in this life, but you are still young, still young."

Xiao Xin'an added: "Mom said that the best learning ability in a person's life is between the ages of ten and twenty. Children during this period learn everything very quickly. My sister is already five years old and will be ten soon. Years old……"

It wasn't until her sister glared at herself that Xin An finally shut up.

Xiao Qingqing asked again: "What does Master Yuan want to teach me?"

Yuan Tiangang waved the whisk in his hand, nodded and said: "There is nothing the old Taoist can do in this life, and the next generation will have to walk the road ahead."

Xin Xin'an asked curiously: "Master Yuan has traveled to so many places in the past two years, but he still hasn't found a suitable disciple?"

Yuan Tiangang sat down and felt the warmth of the sun shining on his body. He stroked his beard and said with a smile, "No, your sister's qualifications are the best."

Xiao Qingqing asked again: "Then please ask the Taoist priest to give you some advice."

Taoist priest Yuan nodded clearly, then suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "An elder brother gave his younger brother four chopsticks. He and his younger brother have the same number of chopsticks. So how many more chopsticks does the older brother have than the younger brother?"

Before Xiao Qingqing could answer, Xin Xin'an replied: "I know how to answer this question from Daoist Yuan."

"Um?"

Yuan Tiangang was surprised and said: "Tell me more."

Xiao Xin'an replied: "It turns out that the elder brother has eight more chopsticks than the younger brother."

Yuan Tiangang asked again: "There are nine trees planted in three rows, with four trees in each row. How should they be planted?"

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Qingqing didn't wait for a reply.

Xiao Xin'an said again: "I know how to do it, Master Yuan."

"Um?"

Xin An climbed down from Xiong Er's back, picked up a branch and started drawing on the ground.

Looking at the pattern, Yuan Tiangang stroked his beard and said, "It's quite clever. I'll ask another question."

Xiao Xin'an said again: "Please give me some advice from Taoist Yuan."

Yuan Tiangang stroked his beard and said: "The sum of two adjacent numbers A and B is nineteen. What are the numbers of A and B respectively?"

Watching the two children think, Yuan Daochang smiled with satisfaction.

Suddenly, Xing Xingan raised his hand and said: "Daoist Yuan! I can do it again!"

"Hiss..." Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but feel a little more uncertain when he looked at this child who spoke in a milky voice.

Xin Xingan replied: "The number A is nine, and the number B is ten."

Yuan Tiangang counted with his fingers and whispered a few sentences with a confused look on his face.

Xiao Qingqing asked: "Taoist Yuan, what's wrong with you?"

First looking at Xiao Xing'an and then at Xiao Qingqing, Yuan Tiangang frowned and said, "I'll see you again in two days."

"Master Yuan, walk slowly."

Xiao Qingqing and Xiao Xingan said in unison.

The tacit understanding between siblings has always been very good.

Xiao Xin'an returned to Xiong Er's back and asked, "Since sister doesn't want to be Taoist Yuan's disciple, just say so."

Xiao Qingqing whispered: "It's hard to refuse the elders' words, otherwise we, Lishan, will be rude."

"Then why would my sister put her hands behind her back and tell her brother the answer?"

Xiao Qingqing smiled disdainfully, "I'm not afraid that you won't be able to answer."

Xin An scratched the back of his head and smiled naively, "My sister is still smart, but my brother is stupid."

"You just want to know less and talk too much. Dad always said that you should think more and ask more. Don't let you talk about everything."

"Brother, please remember your sister's teachings." He lay carefully on Xiong Er's back. When he raised his head, he could see the blue sky of Lishan Mountain and asked, "Sister, what are we going to do now?"

"Go to Longwu Army for a walk."

"Okay, okay."

The Longwu Army's camp is just outside Lishan Village, and Longwu Army soldiers often walk around Lishan.

Recalling some of the past stories her parents told her, Xiao An asked, "Sister, what does an assassin look like?"

Xiao Qingqing said: "The assassins are all dead."

As he spoke, a pair of big hands picked up Xin An.

Li Xiaogong laughed and hugged the child, "Little baby, how come you have time to hang out in the military today?"

Xin An avoided his beard and said unconvinced: "This is the boundary of my home, why can't I come here?"

Li Xiaogong clicked his tongue and said, "That's what you said... That's true."

No matter how much Xin An fluttered, she found that she couldn't escape from his clutches.

It wasn't until Li Xiaogong saw that Xiong Er and Xiong Da had a fierce look that he let go of the little baby.

There was dissatisfaction in Xiong Er's eyes. He stepped forward and picked up Xin An's back collar and hid behind Xiong Da.

It wasn't until the child climbed onto their backs that the two bears gave up and leaned down.

Li Xiaogong whispered: "Pharmacist, these two animals are very protective of the child."

Li Jing smiled and said: "The child is still young and has a rebellious heart. If the child grows up with the bear, he will naturally have a fierce look."

In just a blink of an eye, Li Xiaogong discovered that the two children were missing again, and then ordered the guards on the side: "Keep an eye on the stables and firearms warehouse."

"King Hejian County, relax and will never let these two little ancestors take a step forward."

"Um."

As soon as these two children arrived at the camp, the entire Longwu Army camp became tense.

These are really two little ancestors who cannot afford to offend anyone. Not to mention who their parents are, not to mention that they are favored by the Supreme Emperor. Who dares to offend them?

Li Xiaogong was relieved to know that these two young ancestors were no longer in the stables and firearms warehouse.

Li Jing also breathed a sigh of relief. After the stable was bombed yesterday, the entire Longwu Army was very busy.

At this moment, Xiao Qingqing and Xiao Xing'an were rummaging around in the Longwu Army's tent.

Volumes of files were taken out like this.

"Sister, what are these?"

"Firearm usage technique." Xiao Qingqing pointed at the words on the file and whispered.

Xiao Xin'an doesn't know many words. At the age of two, she only knows the word "火".

Putting the files into the package, the siblings hung the package around Xiong Da's neck while there was no one around, and fled in a hurry.

What the siblings didn't notice was that there was a fat figure not far away watching their every move.

Li Tai smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, these two sons and daughters are really smart. They blew up the stable yesterday just to get the files today. This little girl understands that what happened yesterday caused Long Wujun to suffer a lot, and she will definitely take strict measures today." Watch over it.”

"The troops deployed by the Longwu Army in Lishan are no longer what they used to be. Now they can't spare any manpower to keep an eye on the camp. This gave her an opportunity."

"You are so mentally ill at a young age, and it will be even harder to deal with when you grow up."

Li Tai suddenly laughed and said, "It seems that some brothers-in-law will be annoyed in the future."

Cheng Chumo took a mouthful of meat buns and sat in the bushes nearby. He looked at the two siblings and returned the file.

The siblings ate military rations and read military reports in the camp as if nothing had happened.

Xiao An is illiterate and just writes randomly with a pen.

Li Jing's vigilance told him that something was wrong with the two dolls, so he walked over and took a look at the files on the bookshelf.

Look at these two children again, one is doing trouble with the scroll, and the other is reading the military newspaper.

Li Jing sat down and asked, "Can you understand?"

Xiao Qingqing nodded and said: "The military newspaper said that Pei Du led 60,000 soldiers and horses to destroy the cannibal's 160,000 troops."

She asked again: "Is this the Western Expedition?"

Li Jing sighed: "Well, your Majesty intends to conquer the West, and your father also intends to conquer the West. In fact, there are many voices of opposition in the court. Some people say that as long as your father is in power for one day, the Western Expedition will not stop."

Xiao Qingqing whispered: "Grandpa Medicine Master, the Western Expedition is very important."

Li Jing nodded and said: "Well, the Western Expedition is very important. Your Majesty must command both inside and outside the pass, because in the Western Expedition, the people of the Western Regions, the Tubo people, and the Turks all obey the orders of the Khan."

"Grandpa Medicine Master, what you said is wrong."

"Then what do you think?"

It is said that children speak without restraint. This child thinks in the same way as his father and can always explain the stakes from different angles.

Xiao Qingqing held a brush in one hand and placed it on the desk, while supporting her chin with the other hand, sitting still.

Xin'an glanced at her sister. If her parents were here, her sister would be scolded again.

Xiao Qingqing said: "The Tang Dynasty was prosperous and had many powerful generals and counselors. If the Tang Dynasty stopped its external conquests, it would easily lead to internal friction and involution. Such internal friction would cause the powerful and powerful people to vie for involution, thus causing the Tang Dynasty to lose Uplift."

"The resources of the land are limited. The Central Plains is short of copper and silver. So many strong men are crowded into the limited territory, competing for fertile land and the originally small amount of money. Chaos will occur."

"Yeah." Li Jing said again: "Did your father tell you these things?"

"I heard it when daddy was talking to Uncle Wenwen." She said and grinned.

Li Xiaogong walked into the camp and said: "The original Western Expedition was planned by the Ministry of Rites and Zhang Yang. Now the success of this Western Expedition is related to the future of many people, including Xu Jingzong, Zhang Elephant, Zhang Dashu, and Li Yifu and the others."

While speaking, Xiao Qingqing saluted and said, "I'll say goodbye to my brother first."

Li Jing nodded.

After the siblings left, Li Xiaogong frowned and said, "Today, these two little guys look particularly sensible."

Li Jing took out the firearms diagram to make sure there were no missing pages or scribbles, but he still said vigilantly, "It's okay for these two children to play around. I am so sensible today, but I feel uneasy."

Years of war experience told Li Jing that the siblings must have done something, but he had not yet figured out what they had done.

Xiao Qingqing took her younger brother back to the mountain, then returned to her room. She took a pen and started drawing. She sketched out the firearm picture she had just seen one stroke at a time. She couldn't remember too much. She used Professor Xiaohui's The way to record notes.

After writing down some key points and drawing a rough outline on the drawing, she scratched her head again and looked out the window with a drooped face. She had just talked too much with Grandpa Medicine Master and had forgotten a lot. She had to go see it again. Just one trip is enough.

She said to herself: "But this time I teased Grandpa Medicine Master, it will be difficult to find another opportunity next time."

"Teasing Grandpa Medicine Master?"

"Aunt Xiaohui!" Xiao Qingqing smiled and hugged Xiaohui's arm. (End of chapter)
