Long Sword and Jun Wu

Chapter 133: Thousand Miles of Sound Transmission
Li Longji seemed to be interested when he heard it, "What good ideas do you have?"

Gongsun Ling smiled and replied: "I don't know if it will work, so I'll keep it secret for now. Please allow me, Saint."
The group of people behind were all very terrified, fearing that the emperor would get angry.

But Li Longji just smiled faintly, "It's not difficult. I also want to know what surprise you can bring me this time. OK. Gao Lishi."
Li Longji asked him to pass on these matters and do it according to Gongsun Ling's request, and Gao Lishi nodded in agreement.

Gongsun Ling breathed a sigh of relief. If she couldn't get the saint's permission first, she wouldn't be able to do it. In the imperial city, power is above all else.

Li Longji left with a group of people with a smile.

After Gongsun Ling and Pei Minggong saw the saint off, they waved to Pei Min and said, "I'm leaving first. I'm going to find Jianhe to help me with something." Then they ran away without looking back, leaving Pei Min alone to enjoy the breeze by the Taiye Lake.

Pei Min sighed softly, still savoring the hug just now.

He hadn't even been hugged yet, why did he run away?
----------

Gongsun Ling went to the sword-making workshop of the Ministry of Industry to find Chu Yan. When Chu Yan saw her, he was really shocked.

"Why are you here?"
Gongsun Ling: "Of course I came to see you. Are you not welcome?"

Chu Yu raised his eyebrows: "Of course I welcome you, but as the saying goes, no one comes to visit you for no reason. You came to the sword forge in such a hurry to find me. Do you want me to forge a sword for you?"

Gongsun Ling smiled proudly, "Then you guessed wrong."
Chu Yan raised his eyebrows again.

Gongsun Ling shared his idea with Chu Yan, who nodded repeatedly, "I think it's feasible. This is indeed a good idea."
Gongsun Ling said with a smile: "Not bad! That's why I came to you to borrow someone from the Ministry of Works."
Chu Yu smiled bitterly: "Madam Gongsun, you are so rude. The Ministry of Works is not mine. I am just entrusted by the saint to teach sword-making in the sword-making workshop."
Gongsun Ling was really not polite with him: "But this is approved by the saint himself. If I go to your Ministry of Works alone, he may not pay attention to me. But with you, the sword-making master appointed by the saint, coming forward, the Ministry of Works will naturally agree to my request."
Chu Yan was powerless to refute, "Okay then, but let me make this clear first, if it doesn't work out, don't force it. I'll help you find another way."
Gongsun Ling said happily: "Okay, okay, with you, Master Chu, here, there is nothing that can't be accomplished. If you help me this time, I won't mind tricking Xiaowan into going to your house."
Chu Yan curled his lips and muttered: "You really can bear a grudge. You are indeed sisters."
"Stop mumbling and let's go." Gongsun Ling pushed Chu Yan into the Ministry of Works. "Which lord are you going to see?"
Chu Yu was helpless: "Let's find the left minister, he can mobilize the craftsmen."
The left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works was shocked when he saw Chu Yan bringing a beautiful woman to see him. When they explained their purpose, he was even more frightened.

"Is this really approved by the sage himself?" The left minister had never thought that Taiye Lake could be used in this way. The oral order had just been issued, so the decree had not yet been issued.

Gongsun Ling smiled and said, "Just now by the Taiye Lake, the Saint has passed on his instructions to Lord Gao Lishi. I think he will inform all the departments tomorrow. The Saint also wants to see the surprise I can prepare for him. However, I still need the help of the Minister. If the Saint is very pleased after watching it, it will naturally be your credit."
Regardless of success or failure, she would flatter him first and give him all the credit. Anyway, Gongsun Ling only wanted to stay in the imperial city to look for clues. She didn't care about getting promoted or making money.

Minister Zuo was indeed happy to hear this. The two men naturally did not dare to spread rumors about the order of the saint. Moreover, the sword-making master Chu Yu was currently a favorite in the eyes of the saint. It would be helpful to win him over. He then nodded and said, "Since it is the order of the saint, I will naturally obey it. However, this project is not easy. I need a few days to prepare and find a craftsman who knows water."
Chu Yu and Gongsun Ling knew that he would have to verify that it was indeed the order from the Saint himself before taking action, but they did not expect that the Left Minister would agree so readily, and they happily replied: "Of course, thank you, Left Minister."
The left assistant minister looked at Chu Yu, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I don't know if this method will work. But Jianhe, you have to speed up the work at the sword forge. The saint is waiting to see the first batch of forged swords."
Chu Yu knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch, so he could only bow and say, "Yes, Your Excellency."
The two of them walked out of the Ministry of Works, and Gongsun Ling breathed a sigh of relief, "The most difficult part has been solved. The next step is to find a musician."
She took out a small jade whistle and played with it.

Chu Yu naturally recognized it and asked, "Is this the jade whistle Ying Wuxia gave you? What do you want to do?"

Gongsun Ling raised his face and smiled: "Of course, let him repay the favor!"
That dazzling smile, Chu Yan: ".", this is considered an achievement, I really underestimated her before.

Gongsun Ling blew the jade whistle, and the sound was so small that it could hardly be transmitted even ten feet, let alone a thousand miles away.

After he finished playing, Gongsun Ling asked, "Master Ying said that as long as I blew the flute, he could reach me even if I was a thousand miles away. But with this mosquito-like sound, can he really hear it?"
Chu Yan: "Maybe it's not about the sound. Since he has made such a boast, let's see if he can come in a few days."
Gongsun Ling nodded, "Then I will wait for him for ten days. If he doesn't show up, Jianhe, please send a pigeon to him for me."
Chu Yu nodded and agreed, "Okay."
After finishing these two difficult tasks, Gongsun Ling regained her energy. She looked at the sky and said to Chu Yan, "Thank you for today, Jianhe. Curfew is coming soon. I have to rush back to the palace and go to the Pear Garden to discuss with Aunt Ni. I'm leaving first."
Gongsun Ling waved his hand and rode his horse towards Daming Palace. Before Chu Yan had time to say goodbye, he saw Gongsun Ling riding away, leaving him alone in the dust.

Gongsun Ling rushed back to the Pear Garden, found Ni An, and discussed his ideas with her.

After hearing this, Ni An nodded repeatedly, "Not bad."
Ni An rarely smiled at her, "You are indeed very talented."
Gongsun Ling also smiled and said, "Aunt Ni, if you have no objection, I will choreograph the dance according to this idea."
Ni An: "Such a good idea, I naturally have no objection, but the choice of the musician..."
Ni An was still a little worried. This would require the two of them to be very compatible, and the musician's skills would also have to be extremely high.

Gongsun Ling: "I have found a very skilled musician from the folks. He will be able to come to Chang'an in ten days or so. His flute and piano skills have reached perfection. I think he can perform the best dance with me. But he is not a musician in the palace. Can Aunt Ni arrange one?"
Ni An nodded, "Since you strongly recommend it, there will be no problem. I will report it to the Song Jiaofang envoy."
"That's great." Gongsun Ling felt that all the problems had been solved.

"But, there is something I want to remind you." Ni An suddenly said.

Thousands of miles away, please collect.
