The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 255 Uncrowned King

Two days passed quickly, and a cavalry team of 500 men outside Chang'an City slowly marched in the direction of Shuozhou with [-] guan of copper coins.

Don't be surprised why there are 500 more people. The dudes are so far away from home, and the adults in the family always prepare some manpower for them, which is reserved for their lives. In case there is a war in Shuozhou, these people can make the dudes They have more chances of escape.

Li Muyun is sitting in the carriage, he is now a 'fartman' and has the right to ride in the carriage, but the dandies are different, they are in Su Lie's team and have military positions, and their status as a school lieutenant makes them only able to ride horses .

As a general, Su Lie is naturally at the forefront, and Li Muyun, as a 'fartman', can enjoy the blessings in the middle of the team.

Cheng Chumo followed Li Muyun's carriage, but his eyes were fixed on Gongsun Lan in front of him.

Li Muyun lay on the car window bored, looked at Cheng Chumo and then at Gongsun Lan in front of him, teased him: "Okay, don't look at it, and be careful that someone will pop your eyeballs out."

"Tch, what do you think of my old Cheng, I'm not afraid to tell you, I have a wife." Cheng Chumo looked away, gave Li Muyun a contemptuous look, and then asked mysteriously: "I said Muyun, The one on the girl's back is really His Majesty's sword?"

"Then take a look!" Li Muyun glanced at Cheng Chumo with some dissatisfaction, and then pointed to the front: "Look at the decoration on the outside of that sword, and then look at the bearing of that sword, it's an absolute royal sword."

"I heard that His Majesty's sword broke three holes because of his confrontation with Xue Ju. Is this true?"

"I don't know, I was peeing and muddy at that time." Li Muyun shook his head, thought for a while and said, "If you were curious, you wouldn't go over and ask? Just ask Gongsun Lan to pull out the sword and see if it's okay."

Cheng Chumo shook his head: "That little girl doesn't like my old Cheng, what if she cuts me with a sword? You know, the 'Sword of Heaven' stabbed the following gods to block and kill gods, and the Buddha should kill the Buddha! I'm not really stupid, Why are you looking for discomfort?"

"Is there another theory? At the beginning, I remember that General Cheng didn't tell me that. He said that this thing is useless." Li Muyun glanced at Cheng Chumo with critical eyes, quite contemptuous.

Cheng Chumo couldn't bear this contempt, and immediately said with a bull's eye stare: "This is also a division of people, okay? My father was the one who almost worshiped the emperor at the beginning. Of course, he looked at the sword. It's useless, but When you get to the place, holding this sword is equivalent to being a permanent imperial envoy."

"Really?!" Li Muyun frowned.

"What's true? Who can tell a lie about this kind of thing." Cheng Chumo, who was questioned by Li Muyun, was obviously not happy. Drag that thorn out and chop it up!"

"If I want to try, I will try you!" Seeing that Cheng Chumo's words became more and more outrageous, Li Muyun simply ignored him, retreated into the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.

……

That's it, [-] cavalry soldiers stayed overnight at Xiaoxing, and it took nearly half a month to finally arrive at Shuozhou.

After moving everything into the prison cells, Su Lie led them to station outside the county seat.

Cheng Chumo, Chai Lingwu and others are used to staying in Chang'an, and feel a little uncomfortable with everything in Shanyin County. First, there is no nightlife, and second, there is nothing to eat.

However, Shanyin County does have things that Chang'an does not have. For example, you can kill cows to eat at will, which cannot be done in Chang'an. want.

Unlike the dandies, Li Muyun was so busy that he didn't touch the ground immediately after returning to the county. The first thing he did was to find Sun Liang and give him a letter of appointment from the official department: "Old Sun, From today onwards, you will be the county magistrate! In the future, you can make up your own mind about anything in the county, don’t come here.”

Sun Liang originally had a lot to say after seeing Li Muyun, but before he could open his mouth, he was stunned by the news of his promotion. It took him a while to recover: "Master Hou, what are you...?"

"I'm just a grassroots man now, not a marquis! Don't bark, or watch your head." Li Muyun interrupted Sun Liang with a wave of his hand, and asked without waiting for his reaction: "Xiaofang and Wang Jie are busy. What? Also, how is the harvest competition held in the county going?"

"Uh..." Sun Liang looked at the letter of appointment in his hand in confusion, and then at Li Muyun, the 'fart man' who was sitting in the seat of the county magistrate.I thought to myself, what the hell is this called? What should I call this little ancestor?

But Li Muyun obviously didn't realize this. Seeing that Sun Liang was speechless for a long time, he couldn't help urging: "Speak, are you dumb?!"

"Uh, that..." Sun Liang murmured for a long time, and finally he simply addressed him, and said directly: "Mr. Fang is busy dealing with the affairs of the mine right now. Bring them all over, Mr. Fang has been hesitant."

"Wang Jie has been practicing pig iron. Because you haven't come back, the open hearth furnace has been finished, but it hasn't started. The big guys are waiting for you to come back."

"As for the harvest competition, this time it was very successful. In two and a half days, the grain in the county was basically harvested. The winner was a middle-aged man from Yunzhou, whose name..."

Listening to Sun Liang's account-like description, Li Muyun waved his hand and criticized him: "Okay, it's fine when the grain is harvested. Let's talk about it later when we have time. You first tell me how the big thing is set up." Is it? Are you crazy?"

"Great design!" Sun Liang kindly reminded Li Muyun, and then said with a sad face: "That guy has half his life left now, I think he may not survive this winter."

"Then take him out, find a doctor to show him, and then find a place to lock him up alone, and provide him with delicious food and drink for ten days, but there is one thing, he must not be allowed to rest, that is, he must not be allowed to rest." Go to sleep." Li Muyun lowered his head and thought about it, and decided that it would be better to put another insurance on his plan.

After all, if a normal person does not sleep for three days and three nights, his spirit will be in a state of collapse. Seven days without sleep is basically the limit of a person. If he does not sleep for ten days, both the body's self-protection mechanism and reflex nerves will basically be destroyed. , even if a person can live, he is basically no different from a fool.

Sun Liang silently mourned for that magnanimous setter in his heart. Poor guy, it's not good to offend anyone, but he just wants to offend such a small ancestor, and he doesn't even look at what kind of conduct this guy is.

……

After arranging Sun Liang's affairs, Li Muyun had nothing to do for the time being, so he decided to go to the iron factory to have a look.

But at this time, those dandies had had enough of being outside, and walked back from the outside with their shoulders crossed.

"Hey, Muyun, are you going out?" Chai Lingwu got to know Li Muyun well along the way, seeing him taking Gongsun Lan out, he greeted him from a distance.

"I'm going to the ironworks to prepare something for the business in a few days." Li Muyun glanced at the drunken dandy, and said with a smile.

"Then let's go together. I heard that you have a big steel factory in Chang'an. I've wanted to see it for a long time." Yuchi Baoqi said naively.

Chai Lingwu was a spiritual leader among the four, and he would usually come up with bad ideas, but seeing Yuchi start the conversation, he continued, "That's right, it's all up to you now." , and don’t take us on a tour, Mu Yun, you are not mean enough.”

Naturally, Li Muyun's request to these dandyism is all right. Anyway, they are all here, and they might stay here for a long time. It is definitely not possible to hide it from them. It is better to be more generous and take them over there to have a look. .

And according to the personalities of these young masters and brothers, they probably still have some interest in going to war, and other things such as people's livelihood and livelihood, even if they read it, they probably won't remember anything.

Thinking of this, Li Muyun simply nodded: "Okay, anyway, the iron factory is not far outside the city, so let's go there together."

"Hey, that's interesting!" Seeing that Li Muyun agreed, Chai Lingwu immediately beamed happily.

When I was in Chang'an before, Chang Sun Chong's family was engaged in the salt and iron business, but that kid had a lot of thoughts and never took the dudes to his own property. Refused.

So the dandies are very curious about iron smelting, and always want to know how this thing is made, for example, how is the horizontal knife made?How is the arrow made?And how are those armors made?

This is like a child who sees that others have a toy that he does not have, and always wants to borrow it for a reason.

That's why when Li Muyun agreed to take them to the ironworks without any hesitation, these guys seemed very excited.

……

All the way without a word, everyone hurried out of the city to the ironworks.

It took about half an hour for the dandies in the distance to see thick smoke billowing in the distance.

"Muyun, isn't that your steel factory over there?" Chai Lingwu stretched his neck and looked at it for a long time, then asked Li Muyun beside him.

"That's right there!" Li Muyun nodded, riding on his horse and looking into the distance, but he saw a horse coming from afar, and as the figure got closer and closer to the crowd, a voice came: "Li Muyun , your uncle still knows to come back, you might as well die outside!"

In an instant, the atmosphere became incomparably weird, and the four dandies moved away one after another, their eyes full of contempt for you!
