Chapter 57
"My father-in-law, I shouldn't hide it from you, but I really don't know how to tell you. I don't belong to this era, I come from two thousand years later..." Geng Xiaofan had no choice but to confess to his father-in-law.
"This..." Liu Letian was confused when he heard this. Looking at her daughter, she seemed to have known for a long time and didn't care at all.
"I don't know how I came from, nor do I know if I can go back. This is the difficult thing I told you before. However, I fell in love with Fei'er, and I am willing to sacrifice everything for her." Geng Xiaofan said sincerely.
"Child, get up quickly!" Although Liu Letian didn't understand what was going on, he could only believe it unconditionally.
"I promise you that no matter whether I can go back or not, I will stay with Fei'er in this life and cherish her for the rest of my life! Therefore, I beg you to betroth Fei'er to me." Geng Xiaofan kowtowed solemnly to his father-in-law!
"Fei'er, do you know all these things about Xiaofan?" Liu Letian looked at his daughter again.
"Well, I know. But these are not important. What is important is that I like Brother Xiaofan. I like being with him. I am willing to serve you with him!" Liu Feier also made her clear attitude.
Liu Letian didn't say much, turned around and entered the house, and soon came out holding a big red dress.
"Fei'er, this is the wedding dress when your mother married into the Liu family. I have always treasured it. I want you to get married in it, just like your mother is with you." Liu Letian was moved and burst into tears.
"Dad!" Liu Fei'er quickly knelt down in front of her father and took the dress.
"Okay, good boy, no matter where you go in the future, you must be fine. No matter what difficulties you encounter, always remember that Dad is with you!"
Liu Letian couldn't help feeling sad when his daughter was about to get married.
The father and son sighed for a long time and calmed down.
"Xiaofan, how many years did you say this gunpowder appear?" Liu Letian was still curious.
"I can't remember it very clearly, it's about five or six hundred years. However, this one I did may not be available in a thousand years." Geng Xiaofan thought to himself that gunpowder seemed to appear in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but it was not used for military purposes at that time.
"Then this thing must be hidden well. It's amazing to spread it now." Liu Letian began to worry.
"This is just the most primitive formula of gunpowder, and it is not very powerful..." Geng Xiaofan felt that he could not make his father-in-law worry too much.
"It's not very powerful? If this is tied to a bow and arrow, how far will it take!" Liu Letian was surprised.
"Tie the bow and arrow? It's too troublesome. If you want to strengthen the defense of Liuquan Fort, I have a solution." Geng Xiaofan decided to give his father-in-law a "military" class.
"Liuquan Fortress is surrounded by mountains and one side, and it is surrounded by water. Moreover, the mountain pass in front of the fort gate forms an excellent barrier. Make some gunpowder and buried it on the hill outside the fort. Even if there are 100,000 troops besieging the city, as long as you ignite the lead line, it will be enough to collapse the sky and the earth and break them, so that they will never return."
Geng Xiaofan had long been optimistic about the key points of Liuquan Fort’s defense. The hill outside the fort could only go up from the fort, and the explosives were buried halfway up the mountain. Once the explosion broke out, the rocks penetrated the sky, and the enemy’s burial was below.
"How many people will die!" Liu Letian was surprised.
"This is just a defensive measure. It is not necessary unless it is absolutely necessary. Another day, I will ask a craftsman to make a few crossbow machines, install it on the city wall, and deal with ordinary thieves."
Geng Xiaofan also felt a little cruel. Using hot weapons to fight cold weapons was really a bit cruel. It would be better to do something they "understand".
Liu Letian fell into deep thought as he listened to Geng Xiaofan's "planning".
"Dad, don't think so much. The Han and the Huns' marriages are no longer in war. These are just prepared for any trouble." Geng Xiaofan smiled.
"I'll make some firecrackers tomorrow, and when I get married with Fei'er, I'll set it off for a festive celebration." Geng Xiaofan adjusted the slightly tense atmosphere.
"ah!"
Liu Letian and Liu Feier shouted in surprise at the same time.
One is because Geng Xiaofan wants to use such a powerful "weapon" as firecrackers, and the other is because he wants to get married!
"Dad, are you preparing a dowry for me these two days?" Liu Fei'er also understood why her family had arranged such a "trick of war" these days. Although she had known that this day would be there, she didn't expect it to be so suddenly.
"Fei'er, I'm ready to marry you too! Do you want to go and see you tomorrow?" Geng Xiaofan was also happy. He would marry Fei'er in two days, so he had to leave some preparation time for her.
"You, you..." Liu Feier blushed.
"What's wrong? I don't want to marry, it's still too late!" Liu Letian also began to tease his daughter.
"Dad!" Liu Fei'er's face turned redder.
The bride knew her wedding date and hid! She really wanted to prepare for herself.
Geng Xiaofan was also happy to be clean, so he asked his servants to dye a lot of red paper with cinnabar and made a hang of firecrackers himself! It is estimated that he should be the first person in history who made firecrackers for his wedding!
Lanxiang Pavilion is ready, and Geng Xiaofan is quite satisfied. I wonder if Fei'er is satisfied or not. The day before the wedding, he especially wanted to take Fei'er to secretly visit. But Ping'er kept the door tightly and didn't let him see him at all!
Holding Yizhu who was rushing to the rush, Geng Xiaofan asked in a low voice, "Good sister, tell your brother, what are your sister Fei'er doing?"
"I'm so impatient, you can ask yourself tomorrow!" Yizhu also looked happy, but he just didn't tell him!
On the eve of the wedding, everything was ready, but Geng Xiaofan couldn't sleep anymore.
Whether it was two thousand years ago or two thousand years later, this was my first wedding.
Bah, Bah, Bah! No, what is the first one, I only have a wedding!
Fei'er is so good. She has been dating her for almost a year. She loves herself wholeheartedly. Geng Xiaofan knows this clearly.
But what about sister Jingyan? Geng Xiaofan remembered Wang Jingyan, who grew up with her since childhood.
She was so cute, but now, he felt that something was missing between them.
What is missing? He can't figure it out.
If Jingyan’s sister and Fei'er were standing in front of him at this moment, he knew that he would choose Fei'er without hesitation, but why?
Marriage? Is it a marriage in the dark?
It's like an invisible ribbon that spans two people over a thousand years and "tied" them together!
Red ribbon!
A dazzling red ribbon!
A red ribbon floated in a red light. Geng Xiaofan reached out and grabbed it tightly, but saw Jingyan's sister floating away with the wind!
"Jingyan!" Geng Xiaofan went to catch him without hesitation, but Wang Jingyan turned around and smiled at him, opened her mouth and said two words.
Geng Xiaofan couldn't hear it, but he could tell clearly from her mouth shape.
Chapter completed!
