Qian Niuwei opened the way, and hundreds of civil and military officials came in force, and the people along the way avoided it one after another.
Along the way, Qin Huaidao always felt that someone was staring at him, which made him feel very uncomfortable. He was not in a hurry to look back, but felt carefully, determined the approximate direction, and then suddenly turned back. His sharp eyes were like knives and arrows. He instantly found someone who quickly lowered his head.
It's Prince Li Chengqian.
Qin Huaidao did not point it out on the spot. He looked away, with a bit of coldness in his eyes.
"Master Qin, Your Majesty has allowed you to pass with me." Wang De's voice came from the front.
It is a great honor to accompany the driver. Li Er publicly released the honor to tell everyone that he valued Qin Huaidao and warned not to mess around.
The Holy One has an order that must not be violated. Qin Huaidao stepped forward quickly, his mind filled with Li Chengqian's panicked and bowed expression just now. It seems that the conspiracy in the court just now was most likely behind his back. If he didn't know about the lower couplet and threading,
This method was almost praised to death.
Arriving next to the holy driver, Qin Huaidao suppressed his distracting thoughts and shouted: "Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"
"Are you confident that you can win the arena?" Li Er asked as he opened the curtain of the carriage.
"Back to the Holy One, I don't know the enemy's situation, so I don't dare to say nonsense. I just want to die."
"Okay, you have the courage to pursue your father. Back then, my Duke Yi was also heroic and heroic, unafraid of challenges. He is indeed a tiger father and a dog son." Li Er praised appreciatively, then lowered his voice and his eyes flashed,
Asked: "How do you feel about today?"
The so-called impressions are of course not flattering or complaining. Qin Huaidao guessed what Li Er also saw, so he said bluntly: "There is a problem with the credentials, it came at the wrong time, too soon, and there is also a problem with the competition method. Tubo is a barren land.
, I don’t understand the education, and it is understandable to compete in the big arena. Comparing the pairs is simply to compare oneself with one another, which is not a wise move. I even doubt the origin of the pairing. Tubo should not be able to make such a pairing."
"I saw you right. You are a sensible person. What do you think?" Li Er asked with satisfaction.
"I have changed my mind. I won't kill Lu Dongzan for the time being. I will keep questioning the mastermind behind it. As long as Lu Dongzan doesn't die for a day, the person behind it will be nervous all the time and expose his flaws."
"Hahaha, okay, let's go ahead and do it." Li Er lowered the curtain with satisfaction.
Qin Huaidao smiled knowingly. It seemed that Li Er was very concerned about this matter and was very angry. Thinking about it, if he could be assassinated today, he could be assassinated Li Er tomorrow. With Li Er's emphasis on power, how could he allow it?
Someone is threatening?
"Li Er, I'm scared!"
Thinking of this, Qin Huaidao felt more confident.
The group soon arrived at Dongshi City and saw a small arena. Countless people were watching and cheering. The cheers could be heard from a distance. Two people were competing on the arena. One of them was flexible and could move around in circles without any problems.
Eager to take action, another man appeared with a bare head, about two meters tall, and a majestic body, like an iron tower, giving people an endless sense of oppression.
This iron-tower-like man had his upper body exposed, his bronze skin glowing in the sun, and his muscles bulged like lumps of iron. It was scary to look at. He crossed his arms and stared at the people spinning around motionlessly, just like a brown bear.
Looking at the panicked little rabbit.
The eyes are cold, joking, and indifferent!
Suddenly, the tower-like man took action and slapped him away.
This slap was like a person impatiently driving away the words buzzing in his ears. He slapped it at any time, without using all his strength, but slapped the man spinning in the circle and flew out, hitting the crowd of spectators outside the ring heavily, overwhelming them.
One palm, instant kill!
Still so casual and a master.
Qin Huaidao's eyes narrowed when he saw this scene, and he looked carefully. The opponent's palm seemed to be casual just now, but he took half a step with his feet, twisted and used the force to amplify the power through his waist and hips. He was not a person who relied on brute force to fight.
, is he proficient in fighting? Or is he fighting instinct? No matter what kind, the opponent is a master.
Li Er also had extraordinary eyesight. After the Thousand Niu Guards drove away the people and cleared a space for martial law, he got off the carriage and whispered to Qin Huaidao: "Did you see what happened just now? Tell me."
"He's a master."
"The one who was beaten was Zhang Hou, the righteous son of Duke Yun. It is said that he was abandoned in the mountains since he was a child. He was adopted by apes and raised. He was met by Duke Yun and was adopted as his adopted son. His body skills are flexible and changeable. He is good at assassination and has extremely quick reactions.
I didn't expect that I couldn't avoid the opponent's palm. This person is not simple, but can he be sure?" Li Er's words were more cautious and worried.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I am confident."
"That's good, but you have a high position and the opponent is just a vulgar and reckless man. If you take action, it will be a bit like bullying the small, and the victory will be disgraceful. Is there anyone with a low status?" Li Er nodded and asked.
With equal status, winning can boost morale and inspire people.
The Protector has a noble status, so even if he wins the battle, he will still be like shooting mosquitoes with a cannon.
Qin Huaidao understood immediately. Xue Rengui flashed in his mind, and he could use this opportunity to compete for a certain identity. He was about to recommend him, but he saw a young man jumping onto the ring. His eyes were steady and his steps were strong. Instead of attacking, he made a gesture of invitation.
, the style of a master.
"Huh?"
Qin Huaidao saw that the man he met had a long aura and a restrained look in his eyes. He was a master. He was immediately interested and was not in a hurry to recommend Xue Rengui. He saw that he was dressed in ordinary clothes. He was not as proud and calm as the descendants of the noble family.
confidence.
Suddenly, the man from the Iron Tower class moved and pounced on him like a tiger. His tall figure and majestic body gave people a crushing feeling. Every step he took was heavily trampled on the ring, making a dull sound.
"boom!"
The two actually chose to fight each other at the same time to test the strength of their opponents.
The two iron fists collided together, making a dull explosion like a drum. The shocked onlookers quickly covered their ears, and their faces changed drastically. They saw the two people on the stage taking several steps back at the same time before they stabilized their bodies and faced each other.
Being cautious, the people suddenly cheered and shouted: "Go--"
"Hero, beat him to death."
"Kill the Tubo dog!"
The whole audience was furious and waved their fists, as if the person competing on the stage was themselves.
At this time, Wang De came over in a hurry: "Your Majesty, this old slave has asked, and there are more than twenty people who have gone up. No one can catch the opponent's punch or palm. This person is the only one."
Li Er nodded, looked at Qin Huai and said, "What do you think?"
“It’s evenly matched, it’s hard to say.”
"Not even him?" Li Er was a little surprised.
Qin Huaidao was equally surprised: "Does the Holy One know this person?"
"The surname is Su, the given name is Lie, and the courtesy name is Dingfang. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, he went north to conquer the Eastern Turks with the Duke of Wei. He led two hundred people to the Turks' tent first and sealed the victory. It is said that he was famous for his bravery and fighting spirit as a young man. He is currently the
General Zhonglang of Zuowei, with his impressive force, can be regarded as an enemy of a thousand people."
Qin Huaidao smiled. As a soldier, Qin Huaidao liked to study the famous generals and battle examples in history. Later generations of troops would often organize studies, and they were all familiar with them. Su Dingfang was naturally among them.
This is not an enemy of a thousand people. It is obviously an enemy of ten thousand people. It is not inferior to Xue Rengui's existence. However, Zhenguan's reputation was not obvious in one day, but it was the highlight moment in the next. He conquered the Western Turks, leveled Congling, barbarians and Baiji, and conquered
Goryeo destroyed three kingdoms before and after, and captured their masters alive. Unprecedentedly, the territory of the Tang Dynasty expanded westward to the Aral Sea in Central Asia, with its border reaching Persia, and extending eastward to the southern part of the Korean Peninsula.
This man is not only a peerless warrior, but also an unparalleled handsome talent. He will not shine until the next generation, which will be ten years later. It is a pity to bury him, and the ending will be tragic. He needs to be rescued.
After making up his mind, Qin Huaidao observed carefully.
On the stage, the two of them were fighting again. You punched me, I kicked you. The "bump" sound was like a big drum, which made people's scalp numb. The shots were so fast that it was hard to tell the winner.
The strong man like an iron tower was obviously furious. He trampled on the wooden arena with a ferocious move. Several boards broke under his feet. His eyes widened. He rushed over like a mad bull and hugged Su Dingfang's arms.
Waist, let Su Dingfang hit his back.
"ha--"
With a loud roar, Su Dingfang was lifted up high by the strong man like an iron tower, and he tried to throw him off the stage with all his strength. However, Su Dingfang was experienced and grabbed the opponent's belt to use his strength. His body rose into the air, landed behind the opponent, and then violently
A heavy weight pendant.
"Crack!" There was a sound, and the wooden board under my feet could not bear the force and broke.
The next moment, Su Dingfang roared, and the two-meter-tall iron tower-like man was thrown from his back by Su Dingfang and hit the ring hard. The ring collapsed and countless wooden boards were broken.
The strong man like an iron tower was hit so hard that he screamed in agony. Su Dingfang let go and slowly backed away, letting go of the opponent.
"good!"
"The hero is mighty!"
The people watching gave out deafening cheers and became excited. After losing more than twenty games in a row, they finally defeated someone and felt proud.
Su Dingfang cupped his hands toward the audience to express his gratitude and prepared to step down.
At this time, the man as strong as an iron tower punched the ring, his body suddenly rose, breathing heavily, like a crazed bull, and suddenly rushed towards the unsuspecting Su Dingfang.
Su Dingfang had his back to the man as strong as an iron tower, and because his ears were filled with cheers, he didn't notice anything unusual. The people watching saw it and warned him one after another. Su Dingfang became alert and quickly turned back to check, but it was already too late.
"boom!"
The strong man like an iron tower hit Su Dingfang hard with a punch, sending him flying out and landing among the onlookers. The strong man like an iron tower didn't give up. He screamed strangely and jumped off the ring. He looked like a madman and rushed straight towards Su Dingfang.
The people around him were so frightened that they dispersed.
"not good!"
Qin Huaidao was worried that Su Dingfang was in danger, so he kicked his feet hard, dust flew up, and his body rushed over like a cannonball, instantly blocking the strong man like an iron tower.
The strong man as strong as an iron tower had a fierce look in his eyes. He didn't care about anything and punched Qin Huaidao with a terrible sonic boom. He would die if he touched him.
Qin Huaidao was angry. This man was definitely a Tubo general. He couldn't stay. He turned his body to one side to avoid the fist attack, but his feet did not retreat but moved forward. An iron mountain hit him hard.
"Boom!"
There was a muffled sound, and violent power swept over, shaking the strong man like an iron tower and taking several steps back.
Qin Huaidao followed him like a shadow, rushing forward with a vigorous step, clenching his fists, protruding his middle finger, and aimed a jab at the strong man's Adam's apple. The strong man's body was as strong as a tripe, and his ability to resist a blow was very strong, but no matter how strong he was, his Adam's apple was also his weakness.
If you crush it, you will definitely die.
"Crack!"
A sound of shattering sounded, and the strong man like an iron tower froze. He looked at Qin Huaidao intently. His body suddenly fell down, killing him on the spot. The angry look like a bell glared at the big boss, as if he didn't understand why in this world.
There are also people who can kill themselves with one punch.
The onlookers were shocked when they saw this scene. The almost invincible strong man from the Iron Tower was actually punched to death. How is this possible? Who is this person?
Li Er also looked at Qin Huaidao intently. There was no spectacular fight, just a simple punch, with no visual sense, and the victory was unreal.
"good!"
When the people watching came to their senses, someone recognized Qin Huaidao's identity and shouted excitedly: "It's the Lord Protector, the Lord Protector is mighty, the Lord Protector is great."
"The Lord Protector is mighty!"
"The Lord Protector is mighty!"
"The Lord Protector is mighty!"
…
Cheers came and went, resounding throughout the sky.
When Li Er saw Qin Huaidao's high prestige, his eyes were a little complicated, loving and worried at the same time. Thinking of Yu Zhang, he quickly returned to normal, but a coldness that was hard to detect flashed through the eyes of Li Chengqian, a civil servant.
Qin Huaidao came to Su Dingfang and stretched out his hand.
Su Dingfang did not expect Qin Huaidao to take action. He endured the severe pain in his body and stood up. He clasped his fists and said, "General Su Dingfang, thank you Master Qin for saving your life."
"You're welcome, does it matter?" Qin Huaidao asked.
"It's a minor injury. It will take two days to recover. The other party seems to be... dead?"
"It's okay." Qin Huaidao said. Seeing Li Er coming over, he swallowed what he said and quickly saluted.
Li Er waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, looked at Su Dingfang and said with satisfaction: "Not bad, it has not insulted the majesty of the Tang Dynasty."
"The defeated general has insulted the grace of the Holy Spirit. Please forgive me."
"I can't say that I was defeated. It's just that you were concerned about the opponent's identity and didn't want to kill him without my will. You just let his sneak attack succeed. No wonder you." Li Er has good eyesight and is very open-minded. He comforted him and warned Wang De.
: "Let the imperial doctor take a look and don't leave the root cause of the disease."
"According to the order!" Wang De responded quickly.
Su Dingfang also quickly thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Qin Huaidao took the opportunity and smiled and said: "Your Majesty, with this battle alone, General Su and Tubo have become enemies. It will be of great use to me if General Su can be transferred to the Ministry of Communications or the Supervisory Office."
Li Er's understanding of Su Dingfang was that he could kill thousands of people, and he was a brave general. In addition, he had fought with Tubo and had a grudge, so it would be most appropriate for him to be sent to fight Tubo. After thinking about it, he agreed: "
That’s fine, I’ll make arrangements.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Huaidao quickly thanked him, feeling very happy in his heart.
Su Dingfang had no one to support him in the court, and he also admired Qin Huaidao who had destroyed Goguryeo. In addition to the grace of saving his life just now, he was very happy. With the big tree of Lord Protector, he could make great achievements just around the corner.
"Su Dingfang, what do you think?" Li Er looked over with a smile.
Su Dingfang was not a reckless young man who had just entered the official career. He had developed a cautious temper after not being reused for many years. He quickly clasped his fists and said, "Everything depends on the arrangement of the Holy One."
"Very good. From now on, I will follow Mr. Qin and become the commander of the bodyguard and army." Li Er said with a satisfied smile.
Qin Huaidao was a little surprised. Where did he get his own army? He looked at Li Er.
Li Er smiled and said: "Fengyulou is in the dark, and now we are fighting against Tubo. It is inevitable that the assassination will happen again. I allow you to have a hundred personal troops, drawn from the Yulin Guards. This can be regarded as a reward for your good response this time and thwarting the Tubo conspiracy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Huaidao did not refuse, and knew that he could not refuse. These one hundred pro-troops were not only his protection, but also Li Er's eyes. Refusal would arouse suspicion. Moreover, one month later, he would use troops against Tubo, and there would be one hundred more pro-troops of the Yulin Guards.
Not bad to have around.
The scene was too chaotic and could easily lead to accidents. Li Erbai drove back to the palace, and the civil and military officials left on their own.
Li Jing came up and took a look at Su Dingfang.
"Commander!" Su Dingfang greeted him solemnly. He was an old acquaintance when he followed Li Jing in his northern expedition to the Eastern Turks.
Li Jing also liked Su Dingfang very much. However, he was so accomplished that he could no longer recommend talents and failed to help Su Dingfang. He always felt guilty in his heart and said with a smile: "Dingfang, finally stay until the fog clears. I will follow Mr. Qin from now on."
Do your best, and if you need anything, you can come to me."
"Thank you, Marshal!" Su Dingfang was also grateful and admired Li Jing for his skill in military use.
Li Jing nodded, looked at Qin Huaidao and said, "This is a piece of rough jade."
"I understand, please rest assured, Shibo, I will definitely not bury him."
"That's good. Come and have a meal with me when you have time. Your mother-in-law has been asking about it for a long time."
"It's opening tomorrow. Why don't you bring me with you? I'll cook for you in person." Qin Huaidao extended an invitation. Seeing Cheng Yaojin and other dukes coming, he also invited them one by one.
As soon as everyone heard that there was wine to drink, they naturally agreed.
After greeting each other for a while, they said goodbye and left. Su Dingfang had to hand over the work and had to go to the Ministry of War to go through the formalities, so he went there. Qin Huaidao also left in a hurry. After returning home, he started writing invitations. Oral invitations are a matter of time, and invitations must be written to show respect.
Send someone from the palace to deliver it.
After that, Qin Huaidao began to write menus, music lists, and lyrics, so that everyone could compare them. The menu was a self-service method for later generations. There was a box after the name of each dish that needed to be ticked, which could reduce the workload of the waiter.
, it is also convenient for customers to choose, it is just waste paper.
However, since my family can make paper, I just took the opportunity to promote it.
After writing it, Qin Huaidao rushed into the west courtyard and found someone to help him. He first used plaster to make the reverse character model of the single character, then selected the single character according to the menu and music list, arranged it in the character plate, printed it with ink, and printed it.
It was a great technological revolution in history. Movable type printing came out ahead of schedule, but it was used to print menus, which was really vulgar.
The few people who were doing the work were shocked when they saw the orders coming out one after another exuding the fragrance of ink. They realized that they had learned an amazing technique and were ecstatic in their hearts. They solemnly thanked them one after another: "Thank you, young master, for trusting me and giving me this gift."
Give me this magical method."
"Remember, keep it secret, otherwise you will know the consequences." Qin Huaidao reminded.
"Please rest assured, young master, I will never reveal a word even if I die."
"Yes, anyone who leaks it will be our enemy and will be punished!"
"My young master is benevolent and righteous, and gave me this method. If it were leaked, I would not be able to see my ancestors."
"Yes, yes, I'm too embarrassed to see my ancestors."
Ancestors are sacred and inviolable to people of this era, and they cannot be deceived or humiliated. Swearing on your ancestors is the highest oath and no one will violate it.
Qin Huaidao saw that everyone was sensible, well behaved, and had a good attitude, so he didn't say anything. It was already late at night, and there were still a lot of things to be busy with tomorrow, so he told everyone to work overtime to make a batch, and he went back to rest.
Early the next morning, Qin Huaidao was eating, and someone brought a stack of printed menus and playlists. Qin Huaidao looked at them and found that they were pretty good, so he had the playlists bound into a volume and sent to the barbecue together with white soft paper.
Well, this soft paper was originally intended to be used as toilet paper, but now it seems that it is more suitable to be used as napkins.
After the meal, Qin Huaidao came to the barbecue bar to check various preparations, arranged for the cook to cook food according to the recipes, and invited everyone to have a meal. First, he would familiarize himself with the taste of the dishes and be familiar with them. Second, he would test the cook and the service.
The ability of the staff can be regarded as a prediction for the opening in the evening.
At noon, the troupe came over, filled with two large carriages, pulling various musical instruments. Everyone took the instruments to the stage and started debugging and preparation. Qin Huaidao also came up to try the drums and guitar, feeling the sound spread.
Not bad.
There is a caisson sound concentrator above, a large tank resonance below, loudspeaker amplification, and pond water resonance nearby. They are all black technologies of this era. Qin Huaidao couldn't help but adjust his voice. It felt very good.
"You can also sing?" A surprised voice came out.
Qin Huaidao looked back and saw that it was Princess Yuzhang, holding Princess Jinyang's hand, followed by Li Xueyan and a group of princes' children, maids and maids, all competing for beauty, and said with a smile: "Why are you here?"
"I heard you're opening a business here, so I'll bring the sisters over here to find their way."
"Just in time, I'll treat you all to a meal at noon and try how it tastes. If it's good, I'll invite more friends to come over in the evening to support you." Qin Huaidao took advantage of the situation and extended the invitation. No matter what era or place, beauties will be the main force of consumption in the future, so he won them over.
Business remains the same.
However, Yuzhang thought that Qin Huaidao was giving him face, and he was full of gratitude. Looking at everyone, everyone laughed happily. Someone said: "Duke Guoguo, is the taste here good to you?"
"My father-in-law will cook in person in a while. If you can't do it for free, you can take the sign with you."
"That's what you said."
"Hee hee hee!"
Everyone smiled kindly and did not take it seriously. In this era, it is important for a gentleman to cook far away and a dignified protector of the country to cook? Who believes it, but face must still be given.
"I have met Princess Jinyang, and I have met the county lord." Qin Huaidao saluted Jinyang and Li Xueyan, and added: "You can just take a look around and see what the environment is like here, and then choose a private room to rest. I will be busy for a while and then go
It’s a lot of work to prepare food for everyone, so please be considerate.”
"You're welcome, Lord Protector." Everyone didn't dare to make excuses and saluted one after another.
Princess Jinyang's eyes were rolling, looking east and west, full of curiosity, and said: "Brother Qin, you look very special here. You are actually in the open air. Go ahead and work, let's go around."
"Go ahead, I'll show you around." Yu Zhang also said, very much like a good housekeeper.
Everyone looked at Yu Zhang, their eyes full of teasing and envy. No matter how noble they were, they couldn't make their own decisions about marriage. If you could get such an unparalleled great man like Qin Huaidao, you would die without regrets.
At this time, Jia Youcai led people to move things to the kitchen. Qin Huaidao knew what they were, so he said goodbye to everyone and hurried over, instructing everyone to carry the bags of things to a basement. A pool was built in the basement, which was filled with water. Waiting for the things to be put away
OK, kick people out.
Afterwards, Qin Huaidao opened the bag, took out the saltpeter from it and put it into the pool. When the saltpeter dissolves in the water, it will absorb a lot of heat, causing the water to cool down until it freezes.
Seeing the mist rising and the water freezing, Jia Youcai was completely stunned. Is this - a magical trick?
Qin Huaidao touched the ice cube and felt that it was okay, so he smiled.
"Young Master, are you a god descending to earth?" Jia Youcai couldn't help shouting.
"Shh, keep your voice down, remember, this method can only be mastered by you."
"Don't worry, young master, these magical methods will not be revealed even if you die." Jia Youcai was overjoyed and hurriedly swore, but in his heart, he thought that even telling such magical methods was a great grace and trust from the young master.
With this method, there will no longer be a shortage of ice cubes in the house during the scorching summer heat. It can also be used to gather wealth. It is inexhaustible and inexhaustible. It is so important that even if you die, you cannot leak even half a word, otherwise you will suffer.
