Thinking of Ling Buyi's explanation, Xie Yu picked up a few heavy arrows. After cutting the arrowheads, he tried a few times on the simple makeshift archery target under the city tower. Although it was dim, he at least became familiar with the arrows of several heavy arrows in his hand. sex.
If that kind of person does appear, these arrows are what Xie Yu is most confident about now.
Xie Yuzai thought it would be nice to have a telescope. He had this idea when he was suppressing bandits, but later he thought it was not harmful and forgot about it.
But how was this telescope made? By the way, it was a convex mirror and a concave mirror. Xie Yu had forgotten the order.
Anyway, put them together, wrap them into long strips, and make them into the style of a monocular telescope?
It's a pity that there is no glass now. How is this glass burned?
By the way, there are a few transparent gems from the Western Regions in those boxes of rewards. If you polish them, they might be fine.
It's a pity that there is no grinding wheel. By the way, you can find a craftsman to use a whetstone to make a disc, like a small spinning wheel, and grind it while turning.
Thinking about these little thoughts secretly, Xie Yu climbed onto the tower again.
From a distance, I heard Liang Qiufei say: "The third lady of the Cheng family behaves dignifiedly, and the one who walks with a lot of energy is naturally the fourth lady of the Cheng family..."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yu secretly said: "The heroine finally appears."
Then, he looked at the male protagonist Ling Buyi. Sure enough, although his face was stern, the upward curve in his mouth could not be concealed.
Xie Yu also looked down the tower, and saw that the lights were densely lit, and at this time, people started to set off Kongming lanterns, as if it was daytime.
This brightness undoubtedly reduced the difficulty of the task, but it made Xie Yu relieved. After all, depending on the situation, this was a private matter arranged by the Major General.
For a superior person, the affection you have for him to complete ten major official tasks is not as good as one small private matter. Who said this?
As he spoke, Ling Buyi looked down, and Lady Cheng Si, dressed in a colorful Sichuan brocade cloak and red suit, shuttled back and forth among several riddle lantern stalls, like a butterfly tempting the male protagonist.
Just as he wanted to gauge Ling Buyu's reaction again, Liang Qiuqi approached Xie Yu and whispered: "Brother Xie, I have already arranged the surroundings. If there is anyone holding the promised lantern in a moment, please take action."
"Remember, just make them lose the ability to resist. Don't kill them. These people are very important to the young master's career."
Xie Yu secretly shouted: "I am a tool man,, I am a tool man."
Instead, he said: "Don't worry, Qiu Qi, leave this matter to me, don't worry."
After that, the major general remained silent.
Liang Qiufei shouted: "Ms. Cheng Si, go to Tianjia Restaurant to guess lantern riddles..."
But before he could finish speaking, Xie Yu and Liang Qiuqi grabbed him and covered their mouths at the same time.
Xie Yu and Liang Qiuqi looked at each other and smiled without saying anything.
Liang Qiufei made a pig-like appearance and was "arranged" to go down to the tower to do some work.
Looking at the Tianjia Restaurant surrounded by lanterns, Xie Yu also felt "missing". That slap could be said to be a return of a huge favor to Ling Buyi, but it was a pity that he couldn't say it, couldn't say it.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
But the effect doesn't seem to be as good as expected.
However, after a while, Liang Qiu hurriedly climbed onto the tower.
This time neither Xie Yu nor Liang Qiuqi stopped him. Liang Qiu said: "Young lord, the person holding the lantern tower has appeared. Guess who it is?"
Major General Ling Buyi asked: "Is it Prince Xiao?"
Liang Qiufei said hoarsely: "Young Master, how did you know he was Prince Xiao?"
Ling Buyi: "The only one who came out of Feng Yi County and has such power is King Wei of Feng Yi County. King Wei is not in the capital today, and the only one who can appear is Xiao Shizi."
"Walk……."
After saying that, he threw off his cloak neatly and went down to the tower.
Xie Yu: "Prince Xiao, Crown Prince Wei, this, this, is the joke a bit big?"
"But, with the hero here, it should be fine. Well, it should be fine."
He grabbed three heavy headless arrows that he was already familiar with, and then Xie Yu quickly followed.
The troops mounted their horses. Because the streets of Lantern Festival were crowded with people, Major General Ling Buyi decided to go to a nearby street and take a detour to Tianjia Restaurant.
An interesting thing happened. The maid of Princess Yuchang, the granddaughter of Prince Ruyang, stopped the cavalry and said that Princess Yuchang had fallen into the water and asked Ling Buyi to rescue her.
Ling Buyi was very dissatisfied with the maid who blocked the cavalry. After a delay, he walked to a wooden bridge.
Suddenly, I saw a lot of people gathered under the bridge, watching a woman splashing in the water.
By the way, weren’t the people in ancient times simple and honest?
Why doesn't anyone go into the water to save people?
Then, Xie Yu discovered that there seemed to be a few strong men holding hands by the river, as if to prevent others from saving him.
On the Lantern Festival, with so many people watching, he was so bold and dared to harm people's lives.
Hey, Xie Yu saw the heroine Cheng Siniang.
Sure enough, wherever something goes wrong, the protagonist is there.
Hey, that woman who fell into the water seemed to be calling for help to Ling Buyi, that’s interesting!
Then, Xie Yu watched the heroine kick a strong man who was pretending to save someone. After the strong man fell into the water, he subconsciously stood up!
Yes, stood up!
It turns out that the water is only knee deep. Is this a joke?
This reminded Xie Yu that the maid of Princess Yuchang, the granddaughter of Prince Ruyang, stopped the cavalry and asked Ling Buyi to rescue Princess Yuchang after she fell into the water.
Routine, it turns out this is all a routine.
Are you so crazy chasing your husband now?
Thinking about himself, Xie Yu was helpless!
Just after the drowning incident ended, someone shouted: "Tianjia Restaurant is on fire! It's on fire!"
Everyone's hearts tightened. This was too small. It was definitely not normal.
So, they all speeded up their horses in unison.
Unfortunately, when the fire broke out, everyone watching the lanterns became confused.
Everyone had to dismount and lead the horses forward, somewhat in the opposite direction, but the speed was even slower.
Unfortunately, it was already too late. From a distance, I could see that Xuetian's restaurant was booming.
It is said that fat people have sharp eyes. As soon as the passers-by dispersed, Liang Qiufei shouted: "That's not it, the fourth lady of the Cheng family..."
Just as he was about to take a step forward, Xie Yu grabbed him.
Before he finished speaking, Ling Buyi had already let go of the horse's reins and ran directly over. Liang Qiuqi naturally took the reins for the young general.
The two of them cooperated in a tacit understanding.
Xie Yu rolled her eyes at Liang Qiufei and said secretly: "Fat man, if you want to save the beauty for the hero, you don't have to worry about not having enough life to get backlash. You need thirty army sticks to start!"
The beautiful hero under fire saving the beauty is very interesting, but today there is no chance for Xie Yu to take action.
I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a pity!
However, Xie Yu had foresight when he ordered himself not to let his servants come out to read the lantern riddles. Otherwise, he wouldn't know who to talk to if he was stepped on.
Sure enough, if the hero and heroine are around, something will definitely happen.
Since the thieves have already set the fire, I guess the thieves have also arranged the ending for today.
Sure enough, until dawn, the fire in Tianjia Restaurant was extinguished. Ling Buyi arranged for the guards in black to search Tianjia Restaurant, but found nothing.
He also interrogated Tian Shuo, the manager of Tianjia Restaurant, but nothing was found.
Xie Yu, on the other hand, found that shopkeeper Tian was a bit interesting. He was already forty years old, but some people would believe him even if he looked thirty.
Xie Yu then pressed it, hey, is it a eunuch or a eunuch?
However, thinking that this Tianjia Restaurant was his hard work, and it was burned down like this, he would probably have to suffer heavy losses!
Plus this night, Xie Yu couldn't help but yawn, so he stopped talking about other people's privacy.
The Major General also felt some sympathy for Shopkeeper Tian. After a brief interrogation, he asked him to deal with the aftermath.
Seeing that he didn't help him much, Xie Yu returned to his mansion and prepared to catch up on his sleep.
Pan'er and Zhu'er naturally welcomed Xie Yu with joy on their faces.
After eating some simple food and cleaning up, Xie Yu wanted to catch up on his sleep.
After asking casually, Pan'er asked, "Did anyone in the mansion go out last night?"
Pan'er hesitated and said, "I don't dare to hide it from you. None of the servants have left the house. It's just Sister Gan who seemed to have gone out last night. I don't dare to stop her."
Xie Yu: "What!"
Then, a little angry, he walked towards Gan Qing's courtyard.
Seeing that Xie Yu was a little depressed, Xiaowen, who was approaching, thought of something and immediately shouted a warning: "Miss, the general is here."
There was a sound like something falling to the ground inside the house.
Xie Yu ignored it and walked directly into the house. He saw Gan Qing who was picking something in a panic.
Xie Yu: "Gan Qing, what should you do? I have ordered that no one in the house leave the house last night. Why didn't you listen to my order?"
Gan Qing turned around, looking at Xie Yu with eyes that were red, swollen and disgusting from crying.
He carefully replied: "General, I was just too bored, and I heard that the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival in the capital was famous, so I couldn't hold it back. I hope you will forgive me."
Seeing Gan Qing's pitiful appearance, Xie Yu's anger immediately disappeared.
He helped her up: "Then there was a fire in Tian's restaurant last night during the lantern festival. Were you injured?"
Gan Qing seemed to think of something unpleasant, but it only passed by for a moment, and she still shook her head: "Although I am curious about the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival in the capital, I don't like the excitement, so I came back after watching a few lanterns!"
Xie Yu: "This way..."
Suddenly, Gan Qing rarely took the initiative and threw herself into Xie Yu's arms, as if she had been wronged in some way, and whispered: "Master, I will definitely listen to you in the future."
It was so uncomfortable that Xie Yu couldn't hold it back, picked up Gan Qing and walked towards the bed...
It felt like going back to the first night I met Gan Qing, no, it was even worse than that night, killing Gan Qing like a dead fish several times.
I don’t know what happened today. The iceberg turned into a volcano. It felt like...
Later, Xie Yu did often stay in Gan Qing's house.
Zhu'er was unhappy, but fortunately Pan'er was able to persuade her, and Xie Yu's life became smoother.
Not only Xie Yu, the heroine next door, Cheng Siniang, seems to also show the lethality of the heroine.
Obviously her appearance can only be considered above average, and she looks very vulgar compared to other ladies from aristocratic families, but Xie Yu found that it seemed that not only the male protagonist Ling Buyi was attracted to her, the table was full of fat, and she wanted to trade it with green vegetables?
Is this the halo of the heroine?
Well, there are indeed some heroines who have good minds, are very capable of causing trouble, and have strong hands-on skills. If the heroines were not targeted in this way by other ladies who came to visit them, they might have died several times.
Xie Yu realizes early on that in every world he travels to, he is no more than a male number N at most. Only by having a clear position can he live without being harshly targeted.
After all, most people only see the male and female protagonists, but ignore the background characters behind them. The survivability of background characters is actually the strongest.
You are the safest if you are unknown and unnoticed.
Besides, power doesn’t need to be supported by others to support it.
The male protagonist and female protagonist are the root of trouble, they can be smooth and irreversible, and occasionally help. Although they may be dragged down, the return on investment will be unexpectedly high.
While occasionally helping Ling Buyi and Ling Zicheng with assists, Xie Yu looked for the rewards from the previous palace in the warehouse.
I found seven or eight fairly transparent gems from the Western Regions. In fact, Xie Yu always thought they were transparent pebbles. The stone was not too hard and round, and it was polished into a concave mirror that was more convex than a convex mirror.
Then, the blacksmiths, masons, and carpenters who had gathered in the bandit village in Qing County worked together to trial-produce whetstones and grinding wheels.
With the general principles in mind, Xie Yu had a handwritten distribution diagram, and soon a hand-operated grinder was produced.
First try to sharpen some small weapons such as daggers and arrowheads. After a few adjustments, the finished product is almost ready.
Finally, a large grinding wheel was trial-produced to grind spearheads, sword blades, and small grinding wheels to grind gemstones to make concave and convex mirrors.
After the concave and convex mirrors are ground and stacked together, it will indeed have the effect of a telescope. Then let the carpenter take suitable bamboo to make a sleeve, seal it with gum, and a monocular telescope will come out.
A large one and a small one had just been made. The large one was about three times the size of the mirror, and the small one was twice the size. Xie Yuquan took it and let Major General Ling Buyi choose.
After a simple test, Ling Buyi immediately discovered its military value, made up a random reason, and took them all away.
Xie Yu had no choice but to leave the big one to Ling Buyi and keep the small one for himself, so that he could show his integrity.
However, after Ling Buyi got a large and small single bamboo tube telescope, he couldn't help but opened it out of curiosity and looked at it.
Then, then..., Xie Yu got a lot of transparent pebbles from the Western Regions!
Produced by Liang Qiuqi and Liang Qiufei, let Xie Yu produce more!
But it is not the case now. In the industrial age of later generations, grinding a suitable concave and convex mirror is all done by hand, which is a waste of effort, and the yield rate is still there!
Major General Ling Buyi: "I won't listen..."
Xie Yu made up his mind to hold back some thoughts. In the eyes of their superiors, those who can raise problems will also be able to solve them.
Euphemistically speaking, one thing does not bother two masters.
In fact, it's all cheating. Why should a migrant worker suffer for himself? Isn't it good for him to be lazy?
In the blink of an eye, spring has begun, everything has revived, and Xie Yu's pair of falcons have hatched their eggs and laid cubs. This is the first time Xie Yu has taken over the Shangyuan Township farm and the thousand acres of fertile land gifted by His Majesty.
He deliberately took a leave of absence from the Qimen Army and started farming himself.
I have never worked in a primitive society like this in ancient times, and I can't really appreciate the achievements of modern agricultural civilization, especially large machinery.
Fortunately, because of the last bandit campaign, Xie Yu left enough livestock in the village to help with farming.
Fortunately, when he first moved into the farm, Xie Yu considered starting farming later in the year, so he drew it in advance. He drew roughly a simple curved shaft plow, a shovel, a hoe, a fork, a seed scatterer, a simple angry cow and other tools.
Arrangements were made to purchase a large amount of iron from the nearby grass market. Since there was briquettes, there was no shortage of fuel, and we were not afraid of them making ordnance. As long as they had no requirements and could be used, they asked the Shouchi blacksmith to slowly try out the iron.
This cold season reserve immediately exerted great effect when farming began, although the relative manpower was less than other farm households.
But the reason why humans can defeat beasts that are more powerful than themselves is naturally with the help of tools.
