"Miss, don't think too much. Even if he trains more powerful soldiers, they are still soldiers of our Tianshi Legion. They are not from his Zhao family. Can he take them away? Don't listen to his nonsense, he is just angry with you!" Zi Yuan Holding Li Hanyan in his arms, he kept comforting her.
Li Hanyan looked up at Zi Yuan, her aggrieved expression made Zi Yuan feel distressed.
"Sister Ziyuan, promise me that if Xuanyi doesn't want me one day, you have to persuade him that you can't go with him, and he won't dare to leave my side!" Ziyuan smiled and nodded lightly.
"Okay, okay! I agree! Miss, this plan is great!"
"Then wait a few years and you give him a child again. If he dares to have any bad thoughts, I will seize his child and threaten him to submit!" Li Hanyan said very seriously.
Zi Yuan's back felt cold after hearing this, why did Miss Xindao become so dark? Is this still my innocent young lady?
Inside Zhu Yuejun, Nan Zhuzhen was reporting to Zhu Yuejun. Zhu Yuejun smiled after hearing it.
"Gertai just left like that?"
"Yes! Although I don't know why, it seems that I was scared away by Zhao Xuanyi's fake disease! It's probably because I'm afraid of getting burned!"
"Well! Consider him smart!" Zhu Yuejun was lying lazily on the beauty's couch. Gertai's departure could be regarded as a relief for her!
At this time, Xilan walked in from outside. After seeing Zhu Yuejun, she knelt down and saluted.
"Eldest Princess, Cheng Ling just sent a message from Piaoyun Pavilion!"
"Oh? What news? Tell me!" Zhu Yuejun liked hearing the news from Piaoyun Pavilion very much.
"This...?" Xilan's face turned red and she didn't know what to say.
"Say! What are you waiting for?" Zhu Yuejun asked.
"Yes, according to Cheng Ling's news, Li Yukun and Zhao Mingqing went to Piaoyun Pavilion tonight. What did they talk about...?" Xilan told the story from beginning to end!
After hearing this, Zhu Yuejun was shocked at first, then suddenly laughed, lying on the beauty's couch and laughing non-stop. She danced and danced in a way that was not ladylike at all. She laughed for a long time, and then slowly stopped!
"In other words, Zhao Xuanyi has never consummated his marriage with Li Hanyan since they got married, and today because Li Hanrui drugged him, Zhao Xuanyi slept with the maid next to him?" Zhu Yuejun asked with a smile.
"Cheng Ling said so!" Xilan replied. When Zhu Yuejun heard this, she felt very happy. Even she didn't know what was going on, she was just happy.
"Oh! Mr. Zhao, who defeated the seventh young master of the capital in literary talent and the third prince of Tatar in martial arts, can actually bear this anger! It's really interesting!" Several maids looked at each other and thought that this matter was a bit funny. , but it’s not so funny, right?
What happened to the eldest princess today? When Zhao Xuanyi woke up again, it was already a new day. He got up early and asked Zi Yuan to help change clothes. Then he went to the front hall to eat. Cheng Ling and the maids brought breakfast.
Li Hanyan, accompanied by Qinglian and Lizhi, also came to the front hall. Zhao Xuanyi looked at Li Hanyan and saw that Li Hanyan's face was not very good. There were heavy dark circles under his eyes. He probably did not sleep well, and his face turned sallow. Look, you are worried!
Zhao Xuanyi thought to himself that what he said yesterday seemed to be too serious. Li Hanyan, who had always been careless, had become like this. It seemed that he had gone too far. After Li Hanyan sat down, Zhao Xuanyi took the initiative to take a meat bun.
"Eat something, let outsiders see it, and think it was you who was ruined yesterday!" Li Hanyan raised her head and glared at Zhao Xuanyi to express her dissatisfaction, but did not say anything. She picked up the bun and ate it in big gulps. Hey, it seems that she has an appetite. good!
Zhao Xuanyi smiled and looked at Zi Yuan aside.
"Sit down and eat together?" Why didn't Zi Yuan understand what Zhao Xuanyi meant? He glared at Zhao Xuanyi
"No need, uncle and young lady can just eat!" Zhao Xuanyi said nothing more. After eating breakfast, he and Shen Wei came to the military camp. When they entered, they saw all the soldiers looking at him. Zhao Xuanyi smiled.
"Don't look at me like that. Today we will still walk to Huangming Mountain in the morning and afternoon. We will eliminate 500 people in the morning and 500 people in the afternoon! Hurry!"
"Yes!" Tang Tianli shouted
"What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for your salary? Run away!"
"Oh, I'm going to kill you!" More than 10,000 soldiers sighed and started running. Zhao Xuanyi stood at the door on horseback, watching the group of soldiers running out in an orderly manner, with a smile on his face. Physical strength is the most basic quality of a soldier. If you can't even do this, then don't mention anything else. Got it!
After all the soldiers ran out of the barracks, Zhao Xuanyi saw thousands of people sitting on the ground to rest, with playful expressions on their faces. Zhao Xuanyi was very puzzled.
"What's going on with this group? Why don't you run away?"
"Young Master, these are the ones who were eliminated. They did not participate in the selection of the Dark Night Kirin, so they did not run away!"
"Fart! Give the order immediately, and they will run after them. If anyone doesn't run, they won't be given food. I will starve them to death! The Tianshi Army does not raise idlers, let alone food buckets!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted loudly.
"Yes!" Shen Wei immediately ordered that all these soldiers who were gloating about their misfortune be driven out and trained together!
Zhao Xuanyi was sitting in his tent, drinking tea leisurely and thinking about his next plan. At this time, Shen Wei ran in from outside.
"Young Master, Su Xiaoding is back and brought his father back!"
"Really? Go and greet him!" Zhao Xuanyi hurriedly got up and walked out of the battle. Not far away, he saw Su Xiaoding leading a middle-aged man over fifty. When he walked in, he saw that the man was a little thin. Weak, with some age spots on his face, but he looks very similar to Su Xiaoding. At first glance, they are father and son!
"Sir, I'm back!" Su Xiaoding said with a smile.
"Okay! Thank you for your hard work!" Zhao Xuanyi patted Su Xiaoding on the shoulder and said. Su Xiaoding hurriedly introduced
"Dad, this is my lord! Sir, this is my father!" Su Daqi raised his hand
"Sir, my name is Su Daqi. Everyone calls me Daqi!" Zhao Xuanyi hurriedly saluted with his fists clasped in his fists.
"Uncle, it's been a hard journey. Come on, let's go to my tent and talk while drinking water!" Su Daqi looked very reserved when he saw such a big official for the first time.
"Is this appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate? Let's go! Wang Tianlong, bring the tea quickly!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted.
"Yes!" Su Xiaoding also smiled
"Dad, let's just listen to my adults. My adults are very approachable and have no official airs!" Su Daqi followed his son into Zhao Xuanyi's tent. Wang Yunlong brought tea and poured Su Daqi a cup.
Su Daqi and Su Xiaoding were also really thirsty. They drank several drinks in a row before they could take a breath. Zhao Xuanyi was not in a hurry. He waited until the father and son took a breath before asking
"Old man, I heard from Su Xiaoding, have you been a mason all your life? Your skills are good, that's great. I have a big project here that I want to ask you for!" Su Daqi smiled.
"Those of us have to work. My son told me that you want to build a city gate in this military camp. To be honest, this is a big project! It will cost a lot of money!"
"Money doesn't matter, you can do it if you can!" Zhao Xuanyi said very grandly.
"Let's do it. It can be done, but what kind of thing do you want to do? It would be best to have a drawing or something. We can save a lot of things with the drawing!"
"Yes! Yes! Brother Shen, bring me my drawings!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Yes!" Shen Wei brought the drawings to Su Daqi. When Su Daqi took a look, he saw that the drawing was just the appearance of a city wall, with only one gate and fifty meters of walls to the left and right, and nothing behind it. To put it bluntly, it was just a facade!
"My lord, this is a good drawing! It's clear at a glance! And it's just the front of the city wall, so it's a little simpler!" Su Daqi said with a smile.
"Are you sure?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"This? As long as you give me enough construction items, it won't be a problem! But I have to call all my old guys here. To do this kind of thing, I need at least two hundred people!"
"Okay! I'll leave this all to you! You are Su Xiaoding's father, so I can naturally trust you!" Su Daqi smiled
"Sir, this siege will take a long time. How much are the wages of the two hundred of us? This...?" Su Daqi said with some indignation.
Zhao Xuanyi smiled
"Yes, yes, I can't let you work in vain. Let's do this. I want to hear your quotation!" Su Daqi thought for a moment.
"It is estimated that it will take three months to do this from start to finish, and winter is coming soon. Once the weather freezes, it will be even more difficult. By then, the water will freeze into ice and we will not be able to start work at all! "Zhao Xuanyi did the math. It's almost late autumn, and winter will come in one month, but there is still about a month until the freezing season, which means there are still two months before work is suspended!
"In this way, old man, I will give you two months. You can build this city wall for me. You have 200 people, and I will give you another 200 people from the military camp. You can use it as you wish. Can you build it for me in two months?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"You mean to give me four hundred people?" Su Daqi asked in surprise.
"Not bad! Can four hundred people complete it in two months?" Zhao Xuanyi asked. Su Daqi looked at the drawings and pondered for a while.
"It shouldn't be a problem. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be fine!"
"Okay! Then old man, how much do you want for these two hundred people?" Zhao Xuanyi asked. Su Daqi calculated carefully
"If you provide us with food, and we have two hundred people to complete this project, you can give us a total of two hundred taels!" Zhao Xuanyi calculated carefully. This is one tael of silver per person, and half a year's salary for a soldier. It is estimated that here In the eyes of the workers who were beaten in groups, it was already a lot!
Zhao Xuanyi smiled
"Old man, it's not easy for you to come so far to help me. I can't let you suffer a loss. Let's do this. Instead of two hundred taels, I'll give you four hundred taels! Call your people over, and I'll give each of you one tael first. Silver, and then after you finish the work, I will give each of you one tael of silver!"
"Don't thank me yet. I have a request. Time is not here to tell. You have to build it strong for me. I want this city wall to be of great use. Don't just step on the front foot and fall on the back foot. This won't work! "Su Daqi is very grateful.
"Don't worry, sir. You're giving this little old man face, and he won't embarrass you. I'll send a message right now. My people will be here within two days, and then we can start work!"
"Okay! But Su Xiaoding, keep an eye on me. The person who comes must be reliable! You can't just let everyone come!" Zhao Xuanyi reminded intentionally!
"Don't worry, sir! I understand!" Su Xiaoding said happily.
"Cheng, old man, let's go take a look at my school ground, and then let's discuss how to build it!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"It's done! Let's go!" Su Daqi was also very happy. He had never done such a pleasant job, and he had never seen such a generous employer. With money, working would naturally be smooth!
After arriving at the school grounds, Zhao Xuanyi and Su Daqi discussed for a long time and finally decided on the place to build. Then Zhao Xuanyi showed Su Daqi the wood, sand, stones, etc. he bought!
Su Daqi frowned when he saw it
"Sir, if you want to build this city wall according to your height, this material will only be enough to lay a foundation. There is a huge difference!" Zhao Xuanyi nodded with a smile.
"Of course I know. So, tell me first, what materials should we buy first?"
"Sand and bluestone! These are the most important. The wood can come later!" Su Daqi said.
"Sure, I understand! Su Xiaoding, take your father to take a rest first. I have something to arrange!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Yes! Dad, come with me!" Su Xiaoding took her father to rest! Shen Wei, Sun Yan, Wang Yunlong and others gathered around
"Sir, if you want to buy sand and bluestone, it will cost a lot of money!" Zhao Xuanyi glared at Sun Yan
"You're the only one who opened your mouth, right? Who said you bought it?" Sun Yan's eyes widened.
"Don't buy it? Could it be that you still want to steal it?"
"Do you think I look like that kind of person?" Zhao Xuanyi asked with a proud face.
"Um?" Should I tell the truth?
"Wang Yunlong!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted.
"exist!"
"Bring out all the 10,000 sacks I asked you to buy!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted.
"Yes! This...?" Wang Yunlong was very curious
"Sir, what are you using it for?"
"Nonsense! What do you think?" Zhao Xuanyi asked with a smirk on his face. Several people looked at each other, their expressions instantly changed, and each of them opened their mouths.
"Sir, do you want it?" Zhao Xuanyi chuckled.
"Why don't you use 20,000 free labor? Are you stupid if I don't use it? Kill ten pigs at noon so that all 20,000 soldiers can be well fed. In the afternoon, go to Huangming Mountain for me. Two people in a team can carry back at least 100 yuan per bag. A pound of yellow sand!”
"Tang Tianli, mobilize all the carriages in the military camp to load the stones back for me. You choose five hundred people yourself and transport at least two hundred carts of stones to me every day!" Zhao Xuanyi gave an order loudly!
"Yes!" Tang Tianli shouted loudly.
