"Master Tang is not afraid of me running away like this?" Yang Manlou was puzzled. Since Tang Zisheng withheld his letters for so long, he definitely didn't want him to have contact with his family, so as not to leak the news. Now let him go to see his brother. It's different from letting the tiger go back to the mountain, and it's still at such an important moment.

"You may have been afraid before, but now it's different. You are aiming at the battlefield. The Northwest and the foreign countries are not peaceful now. If you are not careful, you will come to the city. If you miss this opportunity to defend against the enemy, you may not have a chance for the next few decades. Going to the battlefield again, I don't think you will miss it." Tang Zisheng said with certainty, and it was true.

Yang Manlou was willing to stay here for so long, waiting for this day. Tang Zisheng was sure that he would not escape, so he asked him to meet his family, firstly because he was afraid that he would die in battle full of regrets, and secondly, to give Yang Langxue a reminder.

Yang Manlou's mind was guessed, and the awe in his heart deepened, but the most important thing now is to go to Kaiyun Mansion to meet his brother.

Tang Zisheng looked at the back of Yang Manlou leaving, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, hoping that Zongbing Yang would like this generous gift.

In the past two years, although Yang Langxue had given Prime Minister Yan some preferential treatment due to his affection, this preferential treatment stopped abruptly after the other party realized that he had a connection with the general.

Yang Langxue's intention of not wanting to have anything to do with the general was very clear, but Yang Manlou, the grasshopper who was on the same rope with them, would not be able to escape if he wanted to, and the Yang family was doomed to be a thief.

"You let Yang Manlou go back, and Yang Langxue won't let him go, what are you going to do?" After Shen Yiran washed up, she heard that Yang Manlou who came with him was called away by Tang Zisheng, so she followed.

"As long as Yang Manlou is in Xizhou for one day, Yang Langxue will not be able to stop me from asking for someone." Tang Zisheng looked back at his friend whom he had not seen for two years, and praised sincerely, "I haven't seen you for two years. Still bright and moving."

Shen Yiran raised his head and glanced at Tang Zisheng, frowned, "Qingcheng is pregnant now, isn't it afraid that he will think too much about what you say?"

"To tell you the truth, you would say the same thing even if Qingcheng sees Brother Shen." Tang Zisheng is well aware of his young husband's face-controlling attributes, and Shen Yiran's appearance is precisely based on Qingcheng's aesthetic point, so he praised Brother Shen, not only will it not make Qingcheng think too much, but it will also make Qingcheng feel that their aesthetics are the same.

When Shen Yiran thought about Qingcheng's demeanor, he knew it, but he still didn't want to discuss his appearance with Tang Zisheng, so he turned to chat about Nanzhou, "There is news from the adoptive father, let us hurry up Go to Northwest City, there is a change in the Gentiles."

Although Tang Zisheng didn't receive the news, his subordinates also reported it.So now he has a complete grasp of the situation in Xizhou, "Dayu has not yet become chaotic, and these foreigners are impatient to fight in. I really can't hold back."

"Gentiles in all dynasties have been restless. It has been 20 years since the adoptive father quelled the war in the Northwest. It is not surprising that there are changes now."

Gentiles are warlike, watching the history of various dynasties, most of the wars are provoked by foreigners, who want to seek food and cities in the pass.But in the end they were all beaten back, and Gujue repeated the same mistakes for a few years to more than ten years.

When it came to Dayu's generation, it also went through ups and downs, and in the end, General Jing, a young man, was full of spirits and single-handedly challenged the enemy to return to the camp. However, they have been beaten for three years and have no power to fight back.

Since then, there has been a saying in Dayu that as long as Jing Huan survives for a day, no foreign country can invade the territory of Dayu.

"Wang Huai and Xin Wang in Nanzhou have endured for so long, and they may attack at any time. Did the general say he wants you to go back?"

The previous floods caused King Xin and King Huai to suffer a lot, so Nanzhou is still safe and sound.

"No." Shen Yiran looked at Tang Zisheng strangely, he had already told his adoptive father.If he raises troops, he will stay in Xizhou and guard the Northwest City for his adoptive father, and Tang Zisheng also offered him the position of coach. Now he leaves and returns to Nanzhou, not to mention that he can't help his adoptive father. What about the Northwest City?

Could it be that Tang Zisheng still wanted to mount a horse to fight against the foreigners himself? "The adoptive father in Nanzhou is enough to deal with it. Maybe Nanzhou is already in chaos now."

The emperor is critically ill, that is, what happened in the past few days. If after the emperor's funeral and the war has not yet started, the prince will succeed to the throne. If King Huai and Xin Wang don't rush to the throne before the emperor dies, there will be no legitimate reason to ascend the throne. .

Tang Zisheng nodded. In fact, he thought that the old emperor would not last so long.After all, the old emperor fell ill during the flood, and the prince supervised the country later, almost handing over all the power of government to the prince.

If there hadn't been the flood in Nanzhou, it is estimated that King Xin and King Huai couldn't help but raise troops to force the palace.

"Yiran, long time no see."

After Xu Qingcheng took a nap, he came to the study to look for Tang Zisheng. Unexpectedly, he bumped into Shen Yiran who was coming back, and immediately his eyes lit up twice.

Tonight is the reception banquet. Since the last farewell, he hasn't seen Shen Yiran for two years. Speaking of which, he doesn't have many friends who know each other well. Shen Yiran, who doesn't say a few words on weekdays, but has a very good temper Brother is naturally one of his few friends.

"Hmm." Shen Yiran has been dealing with rough men all these years, especially in places like military camps, where even the gentlest people will learn a few nasty words without knowing it.

So now facing a brother like Xu Qingcheng, he is even more at a loss than before, and the other party will become a father in a few months, so he can only ask dryly, "Is the child okay?"

"He is very good. He thinks he is very capable, so he bullied his father." Tang Zisheng said coolly from the side. Although the child is less than three months old and has no fetal heart rate, in his conception It cannot be counted as a mature life.

But with an immature appearance, she can torment people like this, maybe after she is born, she will be a demon king in chaos.

"So, after the child is born, you still have to beat him up to vent your anger for Qingcheng?" This is the first time Shen Yiran has seen this father treat his child like this, and it looks like the child will be spanked in front of him.

"Yiran, don't talk nonsense to him. The food in the kitchen is already ready. Today is the day when Daddy cooks the food himself, and he will clean up the dust for you, Yiran."

Xu Qingcheng's face showed a bit of embarrassment. In fact, he worked so hard and made the child suffer in the end, and Zi Sheng said it became the child's sin. If it came out in the future, he felt that this baby would still be his father for him. Back a lot of pot.

"Uncle Xu's craftsmanship is very good. I have never eaten such delicious food in the army. Today is a blessing."

Shen Yiran smiled. Although he is used to being rough, he still pursues his appetite.

In the military, there is a big pot of rice, no matter how you do it, it will not taste good.

Seeing how happy the two were talking, Tang Zisheng had no choice but to remind him that he should go to the dining room and not delay the meal time, and the rest just followed Qingcheng and Shen Yiran silently, not disturbing their conversation.

Just because he doesn't disturb him doesn't mean others don't disturb him. Zhou Nanchuan came to his mansion many times, and everyone in the mansion knew him. He knew that Zhou Nanchuan could walk around freely when he entered the mansion without reporting.

So this time, Zhou Nanchuan was holding a wine jar in one hand, a roast duck bought from a shop outside the city in the other, and a crabapple behind him. When he saw them, he said, "You guys go to eat now, don't wait for me." , I brought fine wine here, this is the wine from Mrs. Chen Ji's house."

"I'm afraid Haitang bought the wine, that's not the way to take credit for it." Tang Zisheng joked that the fact that Mrs. Chen Ji only sold his old wine was known to everyone in the county, even the county magistrate didn't have this credit.

On weekdays, if he and Qingcheng were not free, Haitang would help them buy wine from Mrs. Chen Ji, otherwise Zhou Nanchuan would not have the ability to buy it.

"Begonia and I are together, so is it possible to get two gifts?" Zhou Nanchuan said unhappily, and followed the Begonia behind Zhou Nanchuan to cover his mouth and chuckle without interjecting.

To be honest, they haven't seen each other for a long time, especially Shen Yiran, who has been busy with military training for the past two years. He took the first 1000 soldiers outside for training, but now the [-] troops are already an elite army.

Afterwards, the county sent out several batches one after another, but these troops are now in Donglin County. After the people of Donglin County moved out, Tang Zisheng transformed it into a military city.

There are less than 1 horses in it, although compared with the 10,000+ soldiers and horses of the Northwest Army, his 1 horses are completely insignificant.But in any case, if this is the force in his hands, it can protect the peace of Xizhou.

"When I went to the city earlier, I saw a car with two wheels sliding. Is it something you have newly researched?"

Shen Yiran thought of the novelty he encountered when the carriage stepped into the city gate, and the speed of the carriage left a deep impression on him.

"You mean a bicycle?" Zhou Nanchuan answered first, "That thing was made by Tang Zisheng. The carpenters and blacksmiths in Shitou Village spent a lot of effort to make it, but the workmanship is complicated, and it takes more than half a bicycle. In a month's time, the county government can count on it now." Even he couldn't get one.

It's a pity for Zhou Nanchuan to say this. This is a huge business opportunity. If it can be mass-produced, not to mention sending things to other states, even in Xizhou, people can make a lot of money.

Fortunately, they were no longer short of money, so it didn't bother them so much whether they made money or not.

"It's a pity to say that." When Shen Yiran saw the bicycle, an idea came to his mind.

If this kind of car can be mass-produced and used for military marches, the daily marching speed will be many times faster.

"The current design technology of bicycles is not yet mature, and the work time is long. When the technology is mature in the future, it can be mass-produced, but it is still a bit difficult to use for marching."

Tang Zisheng almost guessed what Shen Yiran wanted to do when Shen Yiran asked. The bicycle was light and simple, and it was a better substitute than the current marching on two legs.

But bicycles alone are definitely not enough. Let alone riding bicycles is not a special mountain bike ride. Now the official roads of Dayu are full of yellow sand.If it is raining, the bicycle will be difficult to move, let alone walk.

When all the official roads in Xizhou are paved with concrete roads in the future, it would be a good way to march by bicycle.

And now the bicycle is not considered a successful development. The chain and bearings have been solved with the efforts of the blacksmith masters, but the brakes cannot be used as brake lines. The carpenters are thinking about what mechanism to replace them. It does not have brakes. If you don't have a little effort to ride it, it is easy to crash the car and die.

"Isn't today a banquet to cleanse the dust? Why are you talking about these things again? It's rare to get together today. Hurry up to the dining room for dinner. Haitang and I came here on an empty stomach." Zhou Nanchuan hurriedly interrupted the two of them. , if this continues, the sky can be said to be dark.

Tang Zisheng rolled his eyes in his heart, ignored Zhou Nanchuan, and held Qing Chengdao with one hand, "Let's go, don't keep father-in-law waiting."
