Drunken Exquisiteness

The annex was quiet, and there was a loud bang in the backyard. It was audible from far and near, and the birds were stunned and the house was rustling.

A corner of a small rockery was blown up. Qing Chen didn't want this thing to be so violent. Although she consciously stood far enough, she was still struck by the flying stone so she couldn't open her eyes. He hurriedly turned around and raised his sleeves to cover her. Suddenly the figure darkened in front of her, but Si Weiyun quickly blocked her. Before you.

Mingzhi flew over from a not far away in embarrassment, shaking off the flying dust: "Wang Hao, you don't need charcoal."

Qing Chen avoided the sand and gave Si Weiyun a grateful smile. Si Weiyun was slightly startled, but bowed his head and patted her clothes, avoiding her eyes: "This place is too dangerous, the princess should avoid it."

Qing Chen only contemplated: "Remove the charcoal. This time we add clear oil, pine wax, and dry paint. We might as well try adding tung oil. But this fuse won't work. How can ordinary people avoid it without your skills?" While talking, he pointed at Ming Zhihui's body and smiled: "See what you are like?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Changzheng brought a few guards over in a hurry. Ye Tianling appeared at the archway. Seeing the situation in the courtyard, his eyes turned to Qing Chen's body, sword eyebrows furrowed, and a trace of anger appeared in his eyes.

Qing Chen stuck out his tongue and screamed badly. Just when he smiled at him, he heard him ask in a deep voice, "What is this?"

Ye Tianling looked at Qing Chen innocent, the anger in her eyes faded a bit, but she still looked at the surrounding chaos and still looked awkward.

Qing Chen stretched out his hand and wiped the dust between the hair, and smiled: "It's nothing, just do an experiment."

Her white fur was covered with dust, and she was embarrassed no matter how she tidied it. Ye Tianling's tone was cold: "The entire annex is about to be demolished by you, how can you be such a fool?"

He had failed many times before, and did not expect that this time it would really cause an explosion. Qing Chen knew that he was wrong. If he knew that, he should go outside to find an open place. She winked at Si Weiyun and Mingzhi to let them go first, so as not to be reprimanded at the same time. She smiled and said: "The concubine knows the wrong thing, and there are a large number of Your Highness, please calm down."

Everyone around him withdrew, and Ye Tianling glared at her angrily: "If there is no rest for a day, how can you look like a princess?"

Qing Chen pouted his lips: "If I find a way, can I keep the Qing Dynasty and seal the two states?"

Astonishment flashed in Ye Tian Ling's eyes: "What?"

Qing Chen frowned and coughed from the dust: "The little girl has her own tricks, cough, cough, even if it's not done, it's not far away!"

Ye Tianling led her to the porch to avoid the floating dust, looked at her face like a cat and a cat, suddenly laughed: "If you can really save the two states, this king will reward you!"

Qing Chen shrugged his nose: "Who is rare!"

Ye Tianling didn't think it was disgusting, so he reached out and wiped her cheeks: "I don't wash my face yet, it's black and white. I don't know if I thought I would be on stage to sing."

Qing Chen pursed his mouth and smiled, and suddenly remembered the situation of He Shi's burning fire in the bamboo house, vividly, like before his eyes.

At that time, when Pingshui met, Ye Tianling was wounded, described as cold and indifferent, but the moment she saw him, she seemed to have fallen into the reincarnation of a thousand lives, falling into those eyes for no reason, and everything was inadvertently. Time is doomed.

With an arrow in the chest, it has become a marriage for a thousand years. At this time, thinking of it, it still feels distressed. Qing Chen turned around and raised his eyes, and his eyes on Ye Tianling melted and became softer.

Ye Tianling touched her eyes, her heart swayed slightly, warming up in the quiet and sunny wind in late autumn, and soft and calm under his cold eyes, floating up and down: "What are you in a daze?" He asked with a smile.

When he asked this question, Qing Chen couldn't help thinking about the eleventh day, and asked: "Is there any letter coming from the eleventh day? How about Youzhou?"

"As long as Yu Cheng doesn't move rashly, there are mountains and waters in Youzhou in the Eleventh Town, which is much more happy than in the sky." Ye Tianling said.

The "marriage escape" on the eleventh was really worthwhile. Qing Chen raised his head and exhaled to Zhan Zhan Qiuyang: "Ha! I haven't seen him for many days, I really miss him a bit."

"Oh?" Ye Tianling moved his eyes and smiled faintly, "Thinking of others in front of her husband?"

With slender eyebrows raised, Qing Chen turned her eyes charmingly and provocatively said: "I just want to, how?"

Ye Tianling smiled calmly: "The little girl is arrogant and arrogant. It seems that it won't work if she doesn't establish a family law."

Qing Chen's eyes were sly, staring at Ye Tianling with a smile, and when he didn't pay attention, he suddenly shook his hand, making him grab a space: "Please follow the orders of your Highness to wash your face and make-up, change your clothes, you are not allowed to come in!"

Ye Tianling didn't chase, and walked idly with his hands, jokingly said: "Are you afraid of me watching?" Qing Chen blushed when she heard the words, caught her in her arms and covered the door with her backhand.

The laughter in the room is soft, autumn leaves follow the wind, and the golden sunshine slams down, dancing lingeringly.

One night, the autumn wind was tight, the river was cold, and the long waves receded slightly, revealing the rocky shore.

Since that day, Ye Tianling has issued strict orders not to allow Qing Chen to approach the gunpowder any further. The order is like a mountain, from Si Weiyun to Mingzhi everyone strictly guards, and from the side of the mountain to improve the experiment.

Qing Chen tried to sneak around to see it several times, but Ye Tianling seemed to know her thoughts, and brought her by her no matter what happened, so that she could only follow him and listen to him discussing with Tang Chu, Wei Changzheng, etc. Soldiers, how to march.

Ye Tianling only brought ten thousand profound armored cavalry this time, plus the city's defenders, but more than thirty thousand. He wanted to use these 30,000 soldiers and horses to break the 150,000 Eastern Shu army in Ximinhou, and strategize with a dangerous strategy, and made Qing Chen look stunned.

It is not very cold in autumn and winter in Shudi, but a charcoal fire started early in the room of Director Ye Tianling because Qing Chen was afraid of the cold. Qing Chen leaned in front of the window and sat for a while, and impatiently dropped the scroll in his hand, fiddled with the red silver charcoal in the copper furnace, and shouted, "Fourth brother!"

"Huh?" Ye Tianling replied lightly, looking at the papers before the case.

"I'll go and see what they did." Qing Chen cast his eyes on Ye Tianling from the dimly flowing heat above the copper furnace.

"No way."

"Then you go to the head office with me." Qing Chen still did not give up.

"Didn't you go there the other day?"

"But it's been a few more days." Qing Chen pitifully put his cheeks and looked at him.

Ye Tianling raised her eyes and glanced, and a smile flicked across her eyes: "I am impatient, how come it is not as quiet as in the sky since I arrived in Shuzhong?"

"Do you expect me to stay in front of the deep-bowed thrush window in the other hall and trace the door without going out?" Qing Chen said.

"You?" Ye Tianling laughed. "You and Tang Chu enthusiastically studied my marching strategy yesterday, and each said it has its own reason. How can there be time to draw eyebrows and embroider?"

"In the end, you didn't let me worry about it." Qing Chen said, "It will be cold after sitting for a long time, so I have to go and move around."

"Is it cold?" Ye Tianling looked at the copper furnace with only a Yunqing robe on him.

Qing Chen dropped the lid, walked around behind him and circled his neck, and couldn't help but put his hand in: "Try it!"

Fingertips were cold, but Ye Tianling only hid slightly, and let her warm up: "Why is it so cold?"

On the contrary, Qing Chen pulled his hand out: "Rang, why don't you hide?"

Ye Tianling smiled and stretched out her hand to hold her: "This place is too close to the Eastern Shu army station. Besides, it's windy outside today. Wouldn't you be here with me?"

Qing Chen was surrounded by the gentleness of his words, so he could only smile in his ear and said, "Okay, well, I'm just anxious to see that they haven't made any progress."

Ye Tianling tilted his head slightly and said, "When the big event here is settled, I will take the time to take you around."

Qing Chen nodded and looked over his shoulders to look at the case: "Fourth brother, how sure are you in this battle?"

Ye Tianling remained motionless, and said lightly: "Ten percent."

"Oh?" Qing Chen stood up and looked at him, "How can you be so exaggerated in the ever-changing battles? Ximinhou has an army of 150,000 in his hands."

There was a cold luster in Ye Tianling's eyes: "Knowing oneself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end. Then Ximinhou is brave and innocent, every move is in my eyes, what is the fear of the 150,000 army? When his soldiers are buried in the river, I realized that I regret it."

If the Ximinhou army ends in a disastrous defeat as soon as it moves, I am afraid that no one in this quadrangle will dare to follow Yusu to try to heaven. This will be a heavy blow to the northern rebels. .

The case was scattered with the biography of Nangong Jing today's fast horse. The army and soldiers attacked Lin'an Pass several times. Both sides were injured, and Qing Chen's heart was full of contradictory bitterness.

Seeing her gaze on the military newspaper, Ye Tianling was silent, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, he will definitely break Lin'an Pass."

Qing Chen shook slightly: "Why?"

"The Chinese army has the advantage, and it is only a matter of time to break the barrier. What's more, Yu Su will also let him break." Ye Tianling said lightly.

"Lin'an Pass is the throat of Jizhou. Once the pass is broken, and the army commander drove straight in, wouldn't the Beifan be defeated like a mountain?" Qing Chen asked inexplicably, "How could Yu Su let him break the pass?"

"It's cold in the northern borders outside Lin'an Pass, and the outcome will be unpredictable." Ye Tianling closed his eyes slightly, "Yu Su is a cunning man, how can he be so friendly to Ximinhou?"

"But if you can't attack it for a long time, it will be more difficult to supply grain and grass." Qing Chen said, "This Lin'an Pass will be broken even if it is not broken."

"Yes." Ye Tianling only said a single word, then stopped speaking.

Qing Chen was also silent, but heard Wei Changzheng outside saying: "His Royal Highness, Master Si asks for you."

"Let him in."

"His Royal Highness, Princess!" Si Weiyun came in from the outside, walking in a hurry, with a look of surprise and joy, and he was in the dust, apparently just returning from Dingqiaoling.

"Sit down and say." Ye Tianling said, "What about Dingqiaoling?"

"His Royal Highness." Si Weiyun took a seat at the lower end and said, "The gunpowder is very powerful, and it is several times faster than burning a rock to open a mountain. In this way, Nanqu can be achieved in the near future!

"Really easy to use?" Qing Chen asked, "How did you do it? Come and listen."

Si Weiyun said: "Seven percent nitrate and three percent sulfur. Instead of charcoal, add clear oil, tung oil, heavy oil, yellow wax, pine wax, and dry paint. At first, I could only blast some loose rocks like in an annex. I found an old craftsman who is good at making fireworks in Shuzhong. After he studied it, he changed some crafts. Once it was lit, the real stone would break the sky, and the rock would be unimpeded. It’s just that the fuze is different from the firework fuze, and the old craftsman is still improving Recently, I have been really hard-working."

"So how long will it take to dig the South Canal in this way?" Qing Chen asked.

Si Weiyun groaned slightly, and said, "I'm afraid it will take about two months, Your Highness!" Even so, if the military situation can't be delayed, there is nothing to do.

Qing Chen and Si Weiyun looked at Ye Tianling at the same time.

Ye Tianling stood up before the case, stood still with her hand in her hand, looked at the military plane map on the wall for a while, and then said, "I will give you fifty days. This is the limit."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Si Weiyun stood up and bowed deeply, looking excited.

Although time is extremely tight, the two states of Qing and Feng are finally expected to be preserved. Man will conquer the sky. This act of breaking through the mountains and opening channels is the homeland that preserved the lives of tens of thousands of people in the two states. It is also a vast water conservancy construction that has been famous for the ages of Shu. It is exciting to think.

"Weiyun, if you can accurately measure and dig through the mountains at the same time from different places, you can get twice the result with half the effort." Qing Chen reached out and found the water conservancy diagram backed up before the Ye Tianling case, and unfolded, "I will really measure these things on the spot. If you don’t understand, it depends on your own ability to get ahead of Ximinhou’s troops."

"The minister knows!" Si Weiyun said firmly, "Dingqiaoling gets one point faster, and your Royal Highness has one more chance of winning here."

Ye Tianling nodded slightly: "Fifty days, but not much, and can't delay the completion of the embankment, you go."

Si Weiyun bowed, no longer staying, and immediately set off to return to Dingqiaoling.

The map of the military plane before the case was marked with a few thick red lines, which were the marching route agreed upon in the past few days. Several arrows were sharp and sharp, and they flopped in the Gulang River section of the backwater, and then merged with the two forces and delineated to Youzhou. The West Route Army of the same eleven will join forces, pass Hezhou, take Hengling, and enter the northern Xinjiang. , Bingfeng pointed directly at Lin'an Pass.

Qing Chen stood next to Ye Tianling and looked at the vast territory on the military plane map. His eyes fell on the Gulanghe River in the middle of Shu: "Four brothers, in this case, I have to lead Xi Minhou to move out and cross the river here."

In the past, there was the idea of ​​abandoning pawns and protecting vehicles. As long as Ximinhou soldiers and horses are in the stagnant river section, they can be wiped out in one fell swoop, even if they do not get out of the two states, but now many places have to rethink the arrangement.

"Yes, if you want to keep the two states intact, only this section of the river is feasible. Further downstream, the two channels of water will flow into the other way, and it will be useless." Ye Tianling's deep eyes were sharp and sharp, between his lips. A faint smile appeared, "When I personally lead the army to accompany Naximinhou to train and train, I will show you a good show."
