Luo nine needles

When Huo Lian came to the imperial city, the emperor was still in the imperial study room, and there were seven or eight officials standing in the room, talking and laughing. Seeing Huo Lian striding in with a long sword behind him, the atmosphere in the hall changed. condensate.

Huo Lian was the only one who could bring weapons in.

Uncle Li Guo, as a good old man, was the first to break the stagnation with a smile: "It has to be Dudu Huo, who heard that it was related to the military affairs, so he brought the weapons directly, and then he can inspect them for His Majesty himself."

The emperor also laughed, it doesn't matter whether it is inspected or not, the important thing is that it is safer to have Huo Lian with a weapon by his side, and he doesn't need to remind him, so he won't be laughed at by his courtiers as cowardly, or chilled by being on guard.

He glanced at the sword. It was simple in shape and looked like a ritual vessel. He didn't know if it was fancy or not.

"Master Liu is so mysterious that he doesn't say anything." The emperor said, and ordered the eunuch, "Go and see, are you ready? We all have to wait, if he doesn't look like that, I won't let him go." .”

The eunuch smiled and responded, "I will go to remind you personally."

In fact, the fifth son-in-law had already said that it was ok, but Huo Dudu couldn't come, how could he let His Majesty pass.

The chief eunuch went out for a walk, and asked the servant to tell the fifth son-in-law that the emperor was about to pass, so he turned around and came in smiling and said he was ready.

The emperor took his ministers to the school field.

Concubine Liu greeted him at the troop counting platform, there was something in the field, covered with a cloth, it was hard to see what it was.

"What novelty?" asked the emperor, and said again, "You are the newly appointed young supervisor, don't lose my face."

Concubine Liu was still a little timid, but her eyes were shining, and she couldn't hide her excitement and pride: "Your Majesty, don't worry."

As he spoke, he waved to the handymen in the school yard.

The three handymen tore the cover off. The emperor and the ministers on the stage looked slightly surprised, and some ministers couldn't help laughing.

Some people even said: "Is it a kite or an ornament? Master Liu has a unique vision, and I have never seen such a thing before."

There was unabashed mockery in that statement.

The emperor looked at the kite-shaped wooden bird placed in the field, and was also a little speechless.

If it is a kite, it is bigger than this one, and there are many more gorgeous kites than this one.

If it is a decoration, this wooden bird is not very lifelike, but clumsy and simple, as if it is made up of a few pieces of wood.

This Concubine Liu is proud of her praise, how high is the sky and the earth is thick?

But Huo Lian and Liu Yan didn't smile, they looked at the ugly wooden bird in the arena with thoughtful expressions.

"It's not a decoration or a kite." Concubine Liu didn't care about everyone's ridicule, nor was he frightened by the emperor's expression, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty and your lords will continue to watch."

As he spoke, he waved his hands to the handymen in the arena. Following his swing, several handymen pushed a ramp in front of the wooden bird, apparently intending to push the wooden bird up.

"I know, it's like the string of a kite, it's to make the wooden bird fly." A minister said with a smile.

The other ministers held back a smile and shook their heads.

"Actually, it's not difficult to make a kite look like a bird." An official said, "The craftsmanship of the craftsman can do it."

A few people here were talking, and suddenly one of them yelled.

"Liu Consort Liu is really ingenious!"

What's wrong?The few people who spoke looked over, and their expressions were also shocked. It turned out that apart from the handymen pushing the wooden bird, there was a thin handyman who looked like a child climbing up the wooden bird, and was restraining his hands and feet with a leather sheath. This was clearly...

"absurd!"

"Bullshit!"

At this point, the officials on the stage were no longer mocking, but scolding.

There have always been many people who want to fly with kites, especially in spring, when they often hear such cases of death and injury, why are they tied to kites, why are they tied wings to their arms, and they jump from the house on the mountain and jump down to each other. They tried to fly in all kinds of messy ways, but there was only one result, either they died on the spot, or they were seriously injured and disabled.

Why did Concubine Liu also go crazy.

Even if he wanted to go crazy and hide in the son-in-law's mansion to go crazy, but he ran in front of the emperor, if he died on the spot, it would become a joke recorded in the history books!

The emperor's joke!
The emperor's face was also not good-looking.

"Your Majesty, please trust me." Concubine Liu said hastily, "I have tried several times, but I have not failed."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the emperor to speak, he waved directly to the people below.

The handyman on the wooden bird had already tied himself up, leaned over and crawled, and held a certain part of the wooden bird with both hands. With the push of several handymen, the wooden bird slid up the slope. It was going uphill, but the wooden bird The bird didn't seem to be getting heavier and heavier. Instead, it got faster and faster as it was pushed, and finally even got out of the push of the handymen.

"His Majesty!"

"Young Supervisor Liu is bold!"

There were even ministers who grabbed Huo Lian: "Doctor Huo, use your sword to stop them!"

Accompanied by chaotic shouts and the emperor's gloomy expression, the wooden bird climbing up to the top of the slope suddenly descended...

A voiceless exclamation sounded, but the wooden bird in sight did not fall to the ground, but flew up.

Staggering, the wooden bird really flew up like a kite. Although it looked like it was about to fall at any time, it never fell.

The screams gradually subsided, and everyone looked at the wooden bird in disbelief, flying from one end of the school field to the other.

"Captain Huo." An official suddenly shouted, "How is your archery?"

This sentence seemed sudden, but it made the officials present wake up instantly. Huo Lian didn't hesitate, and didn't ask the emperor for instructions. He directly asked the guards around him for a bow and arrow, and held it up to the wooden bird——

With a buzzing sound, the feathered arrow pierced through the air and hit the bottom of the wooden bird, but it obviously lost its strength and fell lightly.

Accompanied by one arrow after another, the wooden bird flew slowly to the other side of the school field, always above the range of the feathered arrows. It first fell slowly, and finally fell down suddenly. The bird's body collided with the ground, making chaotic noises.

The handymen waiting there rushed forward, and the officials on the high platform also stood outside one after another, watching intently.

"How are people?" the emperor asked eagerly.

The handyman was helped up from the scattered bird, and with the wave of Liu's son-in-law, he was helped back again.

The handyman's face turned pale, obviously frightened, his arms and legs collided slightly, and he walked unsteadily, but he was still able to stand still.

"I have seen Your Majesty." He knelt down and saluted, and said tremblingly.

The consciousness is also clear, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, clapped his hands and said "Okay, okay."

The other officials simply walked down from the high platform, some watched and asked around the handyman, while others watched the wooden bird.

"Han Fei said that Mozi was a wooden kite, which was built in three years and defeated in a day." Some officials also murmured, "Han is very good at reading, but this is the first time I have seen this wooden kite."

"Gongshuzi cut bamboo and wood to think of magpies, and when they were formed, they flew for three days." Another official lamented, "Kites are already a common thing, but I didn't expect that there could be such a wonderful thing!"

The emperor was not interested in looking for the records in the book, he just looked at Concubine Liu, unable to hide his excitement.

It is not uncommon to be able to fly, and a kite can do it, but it is really rare to be able to fly with a person on its back, and it can fly outside the range, which is indeed an artifact of military strategists.

"It's just that the distance is still too short, let alone the legendary one-day flight and three-day flight." Concubine Liu said, "We need to continue to improve."

The emperor looked at him like a treasure: "No hurry, no rush, take your time."

An official from the military department next to him laughed: "This distance is fine. When the two armies are fighting, they can directly throw soldiers into the opponent's formation, and they will fall from the sky. If they can't be killed, they can be scared to death, and the morale of the army will be disturbed."

Prince Concubine Liu said: "This wooden bird looks simple, but it is extremely difficult to make. I only got one in such a long time, and it depends on the time of day to fly. It can't be done anytime and anywhere."

The emperor was not demanding, and said with a smile: "Being able to spy on the enemy's formation and detect ambushes is already miraculous enough."

There was a voice between talking and laughing.

"Where did Shaojian Liu get this thing? Could it be Momen?"

These words made the atmosphere of joy condense.

An official had already mentioned Mozi before, but the word Mozi in Han Feizi's mouth slipped away.

Because everyone knows that Momen is the emperor's taboo, and there is a sense of proportion in what to say and what not to say.

Who is so short-sighted?
Everyone looked at it and saw it was Liu Yan.

Now that Liu Yan asked, the emperor's expression did not show any anger, but only dispelled the smile from his eyes.

"Yes." He said, looking at Concubine Liu, "Where did you get this thing? Neither the Shaofu Supervisor nor the Craftsman has ever appeared."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited until now to show up, and Concubine Liu is not the only one who wants to give credit.

Concubine Liu was not panicked either, and said frankly: "When I was young, I was playful and loved novelty and ingenuity. I visited everywhere and saw some old craftsmen in the countryside. I saw them display wooden birds, but they were just for fun. After seeing the things, I threw them away after seeing them. As I got more and more attention from His Majesty, I wanted these strange skills and tricks to be used by His Majesty, so I sent people to find these old craftsmen and ordered them to study more skills. , Not long ago, I finally got good news that I made a wooden bird that can carry people. I tested it many times, and I even rode it on it myself before I dared to present it to His Majesty. Craftsmanship, an innocent family, and has not been associated with evil sects and crooked ways."

Everyone knows Liu's son-in-law's reputation. It is polite to say that he is playful, but in fact he is just doing nothing.

Sometimes fun-loving people can indeed figure out new things that ordinary people don't.

And there are indeed many capable people and strangers hidden in the countryside.

An official coughed lightly: "Master Liu, you can't just say that you are a Momen when you see a kit Kat. When it comes to Kit Kat, there are public losers. All craftsmen in the world are called Luban disciples."

Concubine Liu said again: "Those old craftsmen are in the minister's house, if Mr. Liu is worried, you can take them for questioning."

Another voice sounded.

"If you want to inquire, you don't need Mr. Liu. This is the responsibility of our capital inspector."

These words made the scene freeze again, and they looked at Huo Lian who was standing beside the emperor.

He checked that it was indeed more suitable than Liu Yan, after all, Momen was destroyed in his hands.

"Master Liu, is he willing?" Huo Lian looked at Liu's son-in-law and asked again.

Concubine Liu was a little nervous, but responded respectfully: "Then send him to the Duchasi."

The emperor looked at Huo Lian and said: "It's good to check it out, no matter how magical it is, it can't be a crooked thing."

Huo Lian leaned over and answered yes.

Liu Yan didn't say anything anymore, no matter in terms of duty or the emperor's importance, only Huo Lian could handle this matter.

For the next two days, all the officials were talking about this matter. The wooden bird carrying people flying in the sky has always only existed in legends and myths, which is indeed incredible.

Liu Yan wasn't surprised in the slightest, nor was he interested in exploring this ingenuity.

"Your Excellency, you think it must be the skill of Momen?" The attendant asked in a low voice, and then said, "There is no movement from Duchasi."

According to Duchasi's speed, it is impossible to have no news for two days.

If there is no news, it is very likely that he is not Mo Tu.

Liu Yan said: "Even if these veteran craftsmen are not Momen, this skill must be from Momen."

"Mohism has always been private, and it is not uncommon to teach it to ordinary craftsmen." The follower said.

Maybe it was Qixing who taught those craftsmen himself.

Didn't Momen always want to get rid of the charges?Showing skills and inviting credit is one way.

Of course Liu Yan knew this too, but——

"Why perform at this moment?" he said.

at this moment?The entourage was stunned, what time?
"If she really wants to show her skills to claim credit, then she should ask to build the Great Wall of the North after she shows her skills," Liu Yan said.

At that time, he also told Qi Xing the same way, but the woman didn't want to drag the court at all, she just wanted to repair the Great Wall immediately, and she didn't hesitate to take the punishment.

Why did you perform again after you left?

"Perhaps it is also for an extra layer of protection." The attendant said, "After all, it is very troublesome to be found out as a surrogate. When the time comes to talk about performing skills, His Majesty will be more tolerant."

A wooden bird that can carry people and fly, although it is miraculous, it is not enough for His Majesty to tolerate.

Liu Yan was silent for a moment, and said: "Perhaps there is another person who wants to be tolerated by His Majesty."

The entourage was stunned, someone else?Who else?

Liu Yan said: "Go and ask the rich man, if they know about this matter."

The entourage responded and wanted to turn around, but was stopped by Liu Yan again.

"Don't go to Huixian Tower, go to Linglongfang."

Today's Linglongfang is the main sect of the Mo sect, and the attendants went immediately in response, but came back soon, with a bad look on their faces.

"My lord." He said in a low voice, "Linglongfang received news that soldiers and horses are rounding up Miss Qixing along the way."

Liu Yan frowned and stood up.

This thing is really weird!
