Great Tang princess

Chapter 486
The bonfire party has been a standard feature of the Shangyuan Festival in the military camps in recent years. After all, there is no one here who can make lanterns, not even Li Yuechen, so they can only use a huge flame instead.

There is not only a bonfire party, but also enough Kongming lanterns. In addition, the soldiers will also perform performances with each other, and they can also have a lot of fun.

There is a unique game in the military camp. On the day of Shangyuan Festival, after eating in the morning, Li Yuechen held a Cuju competition and asked them to divide into four teams to compete.

Just like the previous two years, villagers from nearby fishing villages came to watch the competition before it even started. Since it was a holiday, even the busiest captives and criminals were brought over to watch the competition obediently in the auditorium.

Cuju in the barracks uses the rules formulated by Li Yuechen, which are exactly the same as the future football rules. Usually, they will kick each other when they are free. As a result, the current soldiers are quite good at playing football.

Especially when someone takes a free kick after a foul, and occasionally even kicks Beckham's curve kick.

Of course, they are not professional athletes, and there is no way to achieve this effect [-]% every time, but as long as it happens once in a while, it can indeed amaze the audience.

In fact, there is no need to deliberately practice this stuff, many things cannot be achieved simply by practicing hard.

Li Yuechen's body control is already quite strong, but he still can't kick a standard arc every time, either because of insufficient speed or too little curvature.

When he was free, Li Yuechen would also play with the soldiers and teach them some football moves by the way.

For example, sliding shovels, or headers or even upside-down golden hooks. It can be said that she is not only the boss of this army, but also their football coach.

In fact, it is better to play basketball in the army. Compared with the football field, the area occupied by basketball is much smaller.

But the problem is that it is impossible to make good elastic balls in this era, so let them play football.

In the past few years, as football has become more and more enjoyable, the voices of the villagers who watch the game are getting louder and louder. Every time there is a magnificent goal, many people will stand up and cheer loudly.

Under such a high atmosphere, such things as betting will naturally appear, especially when the teams that both sides are optimistic about are not the same.

Li Yuechen couldn't help but smile when he saw the faces of the two sides blushing after the bet. He hadn't seen this kind of scene for many years.

Not to mention the villagers, even the captives and criminals watched with excitement.

The captives are okay, after all, they are used to it.But those criminals were different. If there were not several soldiers standing beside them who could pull out their axes at any time, they would have been unable to resist standing up.

Knowing that the game was over, the villagers still had unsatisfied faces, and reluctantly got up and left.

After the competition, the soldiers also returned to the barracks, took a bath and changed clothes, and prepared to participate in the bonfire party at night.

……

After nightfall, the soldiers had just finished their meal when the two-meter-high wooden shelf in the middle of the square was ignited, and the orange-red flame rose more than ten feet high, almost illuminating the entire square.

Although it was winter, sitting next to such a huge flame would not feel cold. The soldiers sat down and fought with each other.

After a while, Li Yuechen also came over, and the soldiers all stood up and saluted.

"Okay, let's all sit down!" Li Yuechen waved his hand, "Today is the Lantern Festival, and tomorrow is a holiday. Tonight, there is unlimited bread and water, and everyone has a glass of rice wine!"

"Woohoo—" the soldiers cheered in unison, and immediately got up.

In addition to the performance part, there are also activities that are more suitable for places like military camps.

Like sumo wrestling or something.

The military is a place where the strong are respected, and this will not change no matter what era it is.The so-called military contests will still be held even after more than a thousand years.

And it was even more so now, the soldiers wrestled and fought each other in a small circle, just to win the honor that belonged to the strong.

Sitting by the side, Li Yuechen cheered and cheered for them from time to time, making the soldiers even more excited.

In a bloody army, intense sports can often attract many people to participate, not only the people on the field, but also those who are responsible for cheering and cheering next to them will also feel excited.

This kind of private play is not considered a formal game. No matter who has the courage, they can enter the circle to fight and enjoy the thrill of punching to the flesh.

Compared with the Shangyuan Festival where there are many lanterns in the city, it seems that the atmosphere here is more suitable for me... Li Yuechen smiled and thought in his heart.

……

Once the Shangyuan Festival is over, the year is considered to be over.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, a letter from the palace arrived, and the postman in charge of delivering the letter kept explaining: "Your Highness, forgive me, the road is blocked by heavy snow, and it is really impossible to arrive before the year..."

"Well, let's go rest first, I don't blame you!" Li Yuechen waved his hand, asking him to eat something and drink some hot tea first, and take a good rest.

This is also something that can't be helped. In this era, if the snow falls heavily, the speed of the horse will be slowed down a lot.

After all, horses are also animals, and they cannot walk like flying on the snow, and they will slip as they should.

This is also the reason why Li Yuechen insisted on using the hang glider to deliver the letter. In this way, no matter how much snow there is on the ground, as long as there is no snow in the sky, there will be no problem at all.

Speaking of this, the training of these pilots is almost done recently, and after the beginning of spring, they can try their first long-distance flight.

This time, he planned to fly from Qingdao to Dongdu in one go, and Li Yuechen was not sure. After all, hang glider was a non-powered aircraft. Whether he could find enough updraft in the sky depended entirely on his luck.

The ideal state is to be able to climb to an altitude of several thousand meters first, then lower the nose of the aircraft, and move forward quickly while diving.

And when it was about to land, it happened to be able to find the next updraft, and then continue to climb, continue to dive, and repeat this process over and over again.

If you can't find the updraft halfway, you can only be forced to land, and then find the next updraft on the ground before continuing to take off.

Fortunately, there are overlapping mountains along the way from here to Dongdu, and there is a huge difference in height and height. Even if it is forced to land, it can take off again soon.

Now that all the preparations have been made, it is just waiting for a real long-distance flight after the beginning of spring.

Within a few days, the nearby prefectures and counties sent all the recruited people over, and it was Lai Junchen who personally led the team to send them over.

Since receiving the princess' reply letter some time ago, Lai Junchen was frightened into a cold sweat. It seems that the princess still cares about such things.

So this time I came here in person, with the intention of apologizing and admitting my mistake.

……

In the office, Lai Junchen lowered his head and clasped his hands together nervously, waiting for the reprimand from Her Royal Highness.

Standing at the desk, I felt a twinge of nervousness.

He also knew about the fact that his father was almost broken by the princess. He knew that the princess was a person with a bottom line, but what made him puzzled was why such a thing was not allowed.

Even if he makes a fortune, part of it will be used to honor the princess.

Li Yuechen leaned on the back of the chair, playing with his hair while looking at the list report in his hand.

After reading everything, he put the documents in his hand on the table, leaned his head against the back of the chair, and asked blankly: "Do you think that you are very important in my heart? Without you, many things can be done No?"

"This subordinate dare not!" Lai Junchen was so frightened that he quickly explained, "This subordinate is temporarily infatuated, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Li Yuechen supported his chin with one hand, and played with his hair with the other hand: "Ghost obsession... This is a good excuse! Speaking of which, the treatment I usually give you is not bad, right? In addition to other aspects Good thing, whether it's delicious food, spicy food or going to a brothel, it's enough to spend, right? Isn't it enough?"

"Yes! His Highness treats his subordinates very well, but his subordinates are ungrateful..."

"Okay, okay..." Li Yuechen waved his hand and interrupted him, "Since you took the initiative to admit your mistake today, I can give you another chance. Remember! You can take what I reward you. Others , can’t take the initiative to reach out!”

Hearing this sentence, Lai Junchen breathed a sigh of relief, thanks to taking the initiative to come here today, otherwise the consequences may be very serious!
So he hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this subordinate understands!"

"Well...there are a total of more than one hundred people in this first batch, and the palace promises that each person will be ten coins per day. Speaking of it, it is not a small amount..." Li Yuechen seemed to be talking to himself.

Lai Junchen quickly said: "Your Highness is in trouble, and this subordinate should share his worries. The wages of the first batch of people will be paid by this subordinate! Don't worry, Your Highness, there will never be any deduction!"

"Oh..." Li Yuechen nodded, "It's rare that you have the heart, so I'll leave it to you!"

"Yes, this is my honor!" Lai Junchen saluted again very respectfully, as if paying for it out of his own pocket is a very beneficial job.

Moreover, he begged the princess repeatedly to let him pay the money, with an extremely sincere attitude.After Li Yuechen nodded in agreement, he also looked grateful.

It wasn't until he left the office that Lai Junchen heaved a sigh of relief. Xiao He, who was about to enter at this time, nodded and greeted him, but found that in the weather of the first month, sweat stains had appeared on the back of his clothes.

Li Yuechen in the office couldn't help but smile, and didn't know whether to say Junchen was smart or stupid.

Originally, Fan Yang's affairs were doing well, but these days he was still thinking about what kind of reward he would give. It seemed a little unreasonable whether he should not be promoted and not paid.

In the end, he did such a thing instead, and now it’s all right, not only does he not have to pay for it, but he also pays part of it, which is really great!
And with this incident, Junchen will definitely not dare to say anything about asking for credit in the future. He can only find a way to make some achievements before he can climb up.
