Li Dan didn't expect this matter to be related to him at all, but he thought about it, there are too many people who can threaten him, not just a maidservant.

But he still asked: "What doom?"

Luo Shixing relied on Wu Zhao not being able to hear them in the imperial chariot, so he said in a low voice: "To be precise, it is your family's doom. Let me ask you, what will you do if she comes to seduce you?"

Li Dan looked at him inexplicably, and Luo Shixing immediately said, "Don't think about anything else, just answer this question."

Li Dan was silent for a while before saying: "Of course I refuse, she is my mother's maid, how can I give and receive with her in private?"

It's not that he's impatient to live anymore, it's useless to let his mother know that he has nine lives.

Luo Shixing nodded: "Yes, that's why she will hold a grudge, and then falsely accuse you of treason, not only that, but also falsely accuse the imperial concubine and Saburo's mother of witchcraft to curse His Majesty..."

Li Dan's face turned pale when he heard this, and he immediately held Luo Shixing's wrist and asked tremblingly, "You... are you telling the truth?"

Luo Shixing sighed: "So you should prepare early and get evidence as much as possible. It's just that her false accusation is too tricky. Regarding the matter of witchcraft, I'd rather believe it or not. It's best not to let this happen."

Of course Li Dan knew that Luo Shixing was right, but the question was... what could he do?

His mother gave him a good face recently, which made him linger for a while longer. He may not have as much weight as what Wei Tuan'er said with Her Majesty the Queen.

Li Dan grabbed Luo Shixing's wrist in panic and said, "Wu Jiu, you save me, I...I can't repay you now, but as long as I can do it, I can do it."

Luo Shixing secretly spurned himself, and told Cheng Jingwei to ignore these things before, but he still couldn't hold back when something happened.

It's just that Wei Tuan'er appeared too suddenly. If she didn't show up, Luo Shixing would have forgotten that there was such a person.In a hurry, he seemed to be unable to think of any particularly good solution, so he finally had to say: "You ask me to think again, strictly speaking, this matter is His Majesty's housework, and as a foreign minister, it is difficult for me to intervene."

Li Dan was silent for a moment after hearing this. He was really scared just now, so he subconsciously wanted to ask for help, but soon he realized that it was not easy for Luo Shixing to take the risk to remind him, and it was true that he asked the other party to help It's hard for the strong.

His ship is in danger of capsizing at any time, Luo Shixing is in full swing now, and he has a bright future waiting for him, why should he do this?

So he let go of his hand and said: "I'm really confused. I went to the doctor in a hurry. Just pretend that you didn't hear what I just said. Don't... don't get involved with you because of this matter."

Luo Shixing turned his head and glanced at him, knowing that his whole family was in danger, Li Dan could still think of implicating him, he was indeed a very gentle person.

He comforted Li Dan and said, "Don't worry, we'll talk about it after the military parade."

Li Dan took a deep breath, trying to make himself the same as usual, showing his sorrow every time.

When they arrived at the square, the courtiers were already sitting in their seats. Luo Shixing watched Li Dan forcefully walk up to Wu Zhao to salute, and sat a little behind her, and Wu Chengsi was in the same position. And Wu Sansi two people.

Luo Shixing also walked up to Cheng Jingwei and sat down in silence. Cheng Jingwei knew something must have happened when he saw his expression.

It's a pity that now is not the time to ask questions. He shook Luo Shixing's hand and didn't stay for too long. After all, in public places, no matter how unscrupulous you are, you have to restrain yourself.

Luo Shixing turned his head and smiled at him, then glanced at Wang Antong beside him and said, "Let's begin."

Wang Antong immediately took orders to turn around and go down.

The military parade is basically a copy of the form of the flower growers of later generations. They thought it was not a day of celebration, so those fancy scenes were removed, and the phalanx entered the arena directly.

The phalanx is divided into infantry, crossbowmen and crossbowmen.

The infantry was at the front, and when they came out in unison, Wu Zhao, who had been lazily sitting on the throne, couldn't help but straighten up a little and observe carefully.

This was the first time she saw the soldiers under Luo Shixing's command. In the past, Luo Shixing went to the palace alone, and seldom accompanied the guards. She only saw a little bit in Luo Shixing's mansion before. At that time, she just thought that these soldiers looked very good. The spirit and temperament are good.

However, one or two alone is not worth much attention. Only the neat steps of so many people can shock the audience.

This wave was just to let people see the military appearance and momentum of the soldiers. The people who were still whispering on the stands in the attic were quiet, and everyone looked down without blinking.

For a moment, there was only one sound left in the huge square-the sound of soldiers' feet falling when they walked.

The sound sounded like it was happening by one person, but it was so loud that it seemed to be thousands of people together.

Luo Shixing didn't let these people shout slogans, mainly because it was inappropriate to shout anything, and they couldn't just open their mouths and say, "Long live the Queen, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live the queen?"

Such a slogan is too incompatible with such a scene.

So the soldiers walked over in silence, and then the infantry lined up on the fighting field in the middle. Each infantryman held a knife in his hand, and with an order, the sharp blade was unsheathed, and then they fought each other.

These fights will not harm the lives of comrades-in-arms, but everyone is working hard.

The younger courtiers were so excited that they couldn't help running to the railings on both sides to watch.

After the fight is over, the crossbowmen are on the field. They hold crossbows with crosshairs in their hands. Although they can't hit the red heart every time, they can control the part close to the middle, which is better than most Archer.

After this batch went down, there were step crossbows, which purely showed the violence of this weapon.

Luo Shixing didn't change the structure of the crossbow too much. This thing will be eliminated sooner or later. With the black powder coming out, is the artillery still far away?What this thing really shows is their current iron-making technology in Lingnan.

Almost all bows and crossbows are made of fine steel, and the silver-white body of the crossbow shines beautifully, and its power is naturally worthy of the cost of making it.

Luo Shixing watched the orderly demonstration below, and looked at Wu Zhao's expression from time to time, and found that the other party had been watching intently from the beginning.

After the crossbow performance was over, the guard of honor selected by Luo Shixing walked in neatly carrying trays.

The guard of honor held their chests up and walked vigorously. Many people couldn't help but follow them.

When these soldiers stopped in front of them, everyone realized that there was a pair of... plugs on the tray they were carrying?

Luo Shixing picked it up and said, "Your Majesty, the next demonstration may be louder. Wearing earplugs can protect your ears."

After hearing this, Wang Xiaojie and the others immediately reached out and picked up the earplugs and put them on. Luo Shixing didn't exaggerate when he demonstrated to them before, and their ears couldn't stand it. At that time, they obediently covered their ears.

But now... Huge stone bars have been placed on the square, and there are several stone bars stacked together, which look much stronger than the stone blocks that day.

Wang Xiaojie remembered that Luo Shixing once said that the power of this thing depends on its weight, and the weight in front of him is estimated to be indispensable, so let's bring it.

As soon as people around him and those who have been to the suburbs wear it, others will follow suit.

Wu Zhao glanced appreciatively at the guard of honor standing in front of him. Since it was a guard of honor, Luo Shixing would of course choose good-looking people, so these people's appearance was above the average line, especially the one who offered earplugs to Wu Zhao, who looked better.

Of course, in terms of good looks, he is not as good as the Zhang brothers, but the unique temperament of being a soldier adds another three points to him.

Wu Zhao put on earplugs and looked towards the center of the field. Because the distance was relatively far, he could only see a few soldiers busy in the square, and then stood by.

When Luo Shixing saw that they were starting to light the fire, he reminded: "Wait a minute, the sound will be very loud. If everyone is worried that the earplugs are not enough, then cover your ears as well."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Jingwei stretched out his hands to cover his ears.

Luo Shixing turned to look at him: How about restraining yourself a bit?

Cheng Jingwei smiled: It's okay, now everyone is paying attention to the following, not looking at us.

Naturally, there was no need to worry about Wu Zhao. The Zhang brothers were on their own, so they didn't give Li Dan a chance to play.

After the fuse was burned in place, a huge explosion sounded, and many people subconsciously grabbed the armrests of the chairs—it is no exaggeration to say that they even felt the vibration of the attic just now, and the timid ones already got up and wanted to run!

On the other hand, Wu Zhao still held his breath, sitting on the throne, his facial expression didn't change much, he just stared at the situation below seriously.

In order to let everyone see clearly, Luo Shixing specially arranged for someone to fan away the smoke and dust.

After the smoke and dust dissipated, everyone saw that a huge pit had appeared in the original square, and the stone strips placed before had disappeared at this time. destiny.

After Li Dan straightened his body and looked hard for a while, he turned his head and looked at Luo Shixing numbly, and suddenly understood what Luo Shixing meant when he patted him on the shoulder and said that he would renovate him in the future.

At that time, he was still thinking about it, so let's just stay like this, maybe when the mother wants to parade again?

But now...he swallowed, it seemed impossible not to repair it again.

Wu Zhao looked at it carefully for a while, and then looked at Luo Shixing with burning eyes: "This is the key to winning more with less as you said before?"

Luo Shixing immediately stood up and said, "Yes."

A smile bloomed on Wu Zhao's face, and he smiled very happily: "Okay, very good. You come with me."

Luo Shixing knew that the military parade was just the beginning, and there must be more important things to come.

Wu Zhao did not return to the palace in a hurry, but occupied the main hall of the East Palace.

Li Dan didn't seem to expect that she would go there, and it was too late for someone to redecorate, so those half-new furniture and shabby furnishings were presented in front of Wu Zhao.

After Wu Zhao went in, he didn't even move his eyebrows. He sat down and looked at Luo Shixing and asked, "If you want to drive Tubo out of the Western Regions, how many of these things do you think you need?"

Luo Shixing: ...

Now you are asking about my blind spot in knowledge!

Luo Shixing looked at Wu Zhao blankly: "I... I have never been to the Western Regions, no... I don't know."

Wang Xiaojie on the side couldn't help but come out to smooth things over and said: "Your Majesty, the situation on the battlefield is changing, at best, we should make an estimate before the fight, and this estimate may not be accurate."

Wu Zhao nodded and asked again: "Then... how many is there in Lingnan? Can it support the Western Expedition?"

The villain in Luo Shixing's heart danced. What he was waiting for was this sentence. He immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, if you need it for the Western Expedition, I will immediately set up a factory to manufacture these things, no matter how much General Wang needs. , I can provide it.”

Luo Shixing's military parade this time has two purposes. First, to hand over these sharp weapons to the country and not give others the opportunity to participate in him; second, to strive to make Lingnan an arsenal of the Tang Dynasty!
