Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Princess Wa was given by her father, but Li Qinzai didn't ask for it.

Luye Zanliang lived in the Li family's other courtyard, and Li Qinzai had never spoiled her. Although she looked very much like Teacher Mikami from the previous life, Li Qinzai couldn't see the humiliating expression of a subjugated slave on his face. Can't do it.

Li Qinzai has been very kind to let her be a maidservant in the backyard, in charge of the chores in the backyard, and live a carefree and peaceful life for the past few years.

Which subjugated slave who fell into the enemy's lair can have such a day?

However, Fujiwara Umono, who was kneeling on the ground, obviously felt very sad and indignant. Seeing Arano Sanliang running to the latrine without looking back, Fujiwara Umono couldn't help feeling sad, so he burst into tears and kept beating the ground with his hands...

Luye Zanliang ran away, Fujiwara Yuno was still crying, Li Qinzai frowned: "Okay, your Princess of Subjugation can no longer see your grief and anger."

Fujiwara Yuno ignored him and continued to cry.

"If you cry any more, I'll have someone put you in a sack and sink you into the river. I cry like a concubine on my property, isn't it bad luck?" Li Qinzai said coldly.

Fujiwara Yuno stopped crying and sighed mournfully.

Li Qinzai smiled angrily, and pointed at him: "The play is well done, your princess has already deeply felt the loyalty and sympathy of the subjugated minister to her... The only audience has left, should you accept it?" ?”

Fujiwara Yuno seemed to have been insulted, and blushed and said, "Why did Your Excellency Li County make such a statement? When did your servant start acting?"

"Didn't you just say that since the princess gave me away, she has nothing to do with the Japanese royal family?"

Fujiwara Yuno couldn't help but opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond.

Li Qinzai sighed: "It's understandable to express the sadness of the subjugated ministers at the end of the situation, but don't make me look like a villain who does all kinds of evil, and you seem to be sympathetic victims."

"Why did your country of Wa die? Don't you have any points in your mind? Help you recall, think about the battle of Baijiangkou, who started the battle first?"

Fujiwara Yuno suddenly lost his momentum, lowered his head and sighed silently.

Li Qinzai smiled: "Look, when the words are clear, you will be sober, 'ah, the subjugation of the country is not wronged at all. If I can, I really wish I could cut open my stomach every minute and apologize to the great Tang Dynasty'..."

Fujiwara Yuno couldn't help but said: "This... is unnecessary."

Li Qinzai glanced at him: "It's just a suggestion, just ignore it."

Glancing at the direction Lu Ye Zanliang left, Li Qinzai said leisurely: "Your princess has gone to clean the toilet, should you kneel here and continue crying for a while, or..."

Fujiwara Yuno smiled awkwardly, and said, "I will take my leave, I will take my leave."

…………

Counting to the middle of winter, the heavy snow in Guanzhong stopped, and it was a vast expanse of whiteness, and the scene was extremely bleak.

However, the Zhuangzi became inexplicably lively.

The children had fun rolling and skiing in the snow, while farmers came to the Weihe River in groups to break the ice with pickaxes, and then fished the fat fish in the river with fishing nets, which was considered as a meal for their families. Add one more dish.

The women were not idle either. They went up to the nearby mid-mountain together and scraped through the thick snow. If you were lucky, you might find some wild vegetables that survived the winter, such as shepherd's purse, toad grass, wild onions and wild garlic.

Sitting in front of the charcoal fire in the wing room in the backyard, Li Qinzai shook his head as he watched the snowy scenery outside and listened to the wanton laughter of children in the distance.

Playing in the snow in the winter, freezing like a dog, but still so happy, what do you think?
Isn't it human nature to stay in a place of comfort and comfort?
Sitting in front of the charcoal fire is not enough, I have to find something to do, the red dust and fireworks in the village have infected him to some extent, so I asked the servants to bring a pot of wine and two small dishes, sitting in front of the charcoal fire while drinking while warming, what a shame elegant.

Just after taking a sip, Qiao'er ran back all dirty, but her expression was not happy at all.

Li Qinzai glanced at him: "Did you fall into a ditch while walking?"

Qiao'er was stunned: "Ah? No, no."

"You were buried in the snow by the children of Zhuangzi together?"

"I'm Mr. Xiao, they don't dare." Qiao'er said proudly, puffing out her chest.

"What's the matter with your miserable appearance like a bereaved dog? Hurry up and let the servant girl take you to wash away."

Qiao'er pursed his lips a few times, but stopped talking.

Li Qinzai's upper and lower eyelids began to droop, and he said vaguely: "I'm sleepy, I'll count to three, if you don't talk, I'm going to fall asleep..."

Qiao'er hurriedly said, "Father, it's almost Chinese New Year, and the village is very deserted."

"and then?"

"Then, the boy thought that there needs to be excitement and movement in the village."

Li Qinzai twitched his mouth: "So...?"

Qiao'er showed pitiful eyes: "So, my boy wants to have some firecrackers."

Li Qinzai said decisively: "It's too dangerous, you are not allowed to touch it before you are underage."

Qiao'er sighed sadly.

Li Qinzai tactfully confiscated Qiao'er's gunpowder magazine after the Weihe fried fish last time. In the past when Qiao'er set off firecrackers, the children in Zhuangzi respected them like gods, with a group of small followers behind them.

Now that the firecrackers are gone, the heroes have clipped their wings, and they can't help but feel short of breath and sad.

Qiao'er sighed, feeling as lonely as a desperate Chu overlord by the Wujiang River.

No more firecrackers, no more face-to-face meetings in Zhuangzi.

"Children should play with children's things. Dad will build you a sled in the afternoon, and trick all the dogs in the village to pull the sled for you. It's just as exciting and fun."

Qiao'er squatted on the ground and murmured, "Father, I just want to light firecrackers. It's almost Chinese New Year, and all the children in the village want to hear something."

Looking up at him eagerly, Qiao'er said again: "The last time Dad used firecrackers to fry fish, the children in the village were very happy. They all said that there was a lot of noise and it sounded like a celebration."

Li Qinzai snorted, for the sake of firecrackers, this guy is also very hard-working, he can say all kinds of nonsense.

Gunpowder was just invented by Li Qinzai a few years ago, and the secret recipe was immediately dedicated to Li Zhi.

After the secret recipe was handed in, both Li Qinzai and Li Zhi were relieved, and Li Qinzai didn't care about what happened afterwards.

It is said that a row of one-story houses was built in a piece of wasteland in the eastern suburbs outside Chang'an City, and the surrounding land was enclosed for ten miles. The security was very strict, and the raw materials for gunpowder were continuously sent in.

Li Qinzai didn't ask whether he was studying the new usage of gunpowder or making gunpowder day and night for the army's three-eyed blunderbuss. He was once a young supervisor of the Firearms Bureau, and his dereliction of duty was heinous.

Li Qinzai didn't want to touch these sensitive things, wouldn't it be nice to be his own salted fish and teacher?Such a dangerous thing, it's okay to stay away from it.

But thinking of the new usage of gunpowder, Li Qinzai's heart moved inexplicably.

It seems, it seems... a new thing can be built. After all, Li Zhi has already put the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo on the agenda. After the preparations are completed, the imperial court will send troops.

If he can inflict some casualties on the enemy, he can make the athletes of the Tang Dynasty less sacrificed, and he is just doing it himself, so why not do it?
Mainly, it's winter, it's too busy...
