The guard on duty at the door shook his hand, looked to see if there was no one around, and lowered his voice and said to Pao Ze, who was standing guard on the right:
"The prince went in yesterday and hasn't come out yet. Is nothing going to happen?"
The guard on the right stood upright, and his voice was as cold as the armor on his body.
"What could possibly happen? The prince is not the only one here. Commander Lu is here. Please be silent."
The guard on the left made a cut, but he stood upright, looking straight ahead, not daring to look around.
Lu Zhan held a food box in his hand and ordered the two of them:
"Change the guard, go eat and rest."
"yes"
The two of them looked at Lu Zhan's back, and the guard on the left suddenly let out a sigh, causing the two guards who came behind to change guard to stare.
"Chen Laosi, why are you so crazy? Why don't you change the post quickly?"
Chen Laosi said in a bad tone while changing his guard:
"This grandson, Lu Zhan, is a Qin person. He is still thinking about the Qin people. The prince's safety is very important. Instead of protecting the prince, he even went to prepare food. He didn't know the priorities."
A guard who came to change the guard patted Chen Laoshi on the shoulder:
"Okay, I know you are worried about the prince's safety. I won't let you stay up all night. Go eat and rest quickly."
Chen Laoshi cursed a few words angrily, and then Xiang followed Pao Ze and left.
In the courtyard of the Asuka Division, Su Lu was watching Zhen Yuan Dao boxing, and Dani and Qingfeng Mingyue were also boxing next to them.
"Your Highness, please come and box too. This boxing will strengthen your body."
Dani invited Su Lu and said.
Su Lu waved his hand, took the tea cup handed over by Gao Dabao, and took a sip of the steamed cup, feeling that all the fatigue caused by a tiring night had been wiped away from his body.
"Give this cup of soup to the four adults."
Qingfeng stopped boxing with a smile and said cheerfully:
"I knew that following the prince would bring me delicious food. When I followed the prince, I grew up from a small Taoist boy to a court official today. There must be benefits to following the prince."
Su Lu glanced at Gao Dabao after hearing this.
Gao Dabao carried the food box and passed by Qingfeng who was holding out his hand. He gave a portion of the soup to Dani first, then to Zhen Yuan Dao, then to Mingyue, and finally stood in front of Qingfeng who looked embarrassed.
Qingfeng looked embarrassed and asked:
"Captain Gao Gao, have I done anything to offend you?"
Gao Dabao’s face was full of playful smile:
"No, how could you, a dignified official of the imperial court, have the opportunity to offend a big soldier like me?"
"You have offended Sir Wang. Last time I heard from Ding Xiangwei's brother that you relied on the old Taoist priest's trust to speak harshly to Sir Wang, and you were very disobedient."
Qingfeng's face turned ugly, and his voice became sharp.
"Why, the high school captain still wants to interfere in the affairs of my Ordnance Mansion, even though I... ugh"
The warm cup of soup touched Qingfeng's face.
Gao Dabao sneered and said:
"This is a reward from the prince, don't waste it."
In the courtyard, the atmosphere immediately became weird.
The true veteran Taoist hesitated to speak, but was pulled back by the bright moon behind him. Although Dani's face was unbearable, her eyes were filled with light, and the troubles accumulated in her heart in the past suddenly disappeared.
Su Lu stretched his body and invited the true veteran to say:
"Let's go in and eat, Taoist Priest, and try the cooking skills of the palace chef."
The true veteran Taoist glanced at Qingfeng and finally couldn't bear it.
"My lord, my disciple is reckless. Look..."
"Okay, Dabao, don't delay Captain Qingfeng from having breakfast."
Su Lu ordered Gao Dabao.
Gao Dabao chuckled, handed the food box to the guard next to him, and saluted Qingfeng with clasped fists:
"Captain Qingfeng, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please have dinner. Please do."
Qingfeng wiped the soup from his face, endured his anger, slowly walked into the main hall, sat down in his seat, and started eating.
After dinner, Dani accompanied Su Lu to check out the new flying birds. In the backyard of the Bird Division, watching the craftsmen building the new flying birds, Dani plucked up the courage to say:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for venting your anger on Dani."
Su Lu waved his hand:
"You're welcome. This matter is not a big deal, but you have to be careful in the future. You can't let Qingfeng have access to core secrets anymore. Qingfeng must be gradually isolated from Feiniao and the development of the inner energy conversion cabinet."
Dani looked at Su Lu in confusion, not understanding why he said that.
Su Lu pointed at a new-style flying bird that was formed:
"This is our latest flying bird. Joseph sent news a few days ago, saying that they have obtained the construction drawings of our new flying bird. The Western Academy of Sciences has completed the development and will be able to test fly it soon."
"There are some among us who cannot be trusted."
Dani nodded seriously after hearing this:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'll wake up."
The two of them walked up to a huge flying bird, and Dani said doubtfully:
"Your Majesty, we have already tried it. This large flying bird cannot be pushed up by two internal energy conversion cabinets. According to the designed load-bearing capacity, it cannot fly into the sky at all."
Su Lu walked around Feiniao, looked around, and gave instructions:
"Then add two more internal energy conversion cabinets. Tell Taoist Master Zhenyuan to make them the largest model. Don't be afraid of wasting the internal energy. It's okay if the efficiency is lower. The key is to have sufficient output."
Dani was thoughtful, took out her book, and wrote down Su Lu's words, but her face was full of confusion, thinking that she would have to think about it carefully when she went back.
The two of them continued to walk forward and arrived in front of a streamlined Bird. This Bird was streamlined, similar to later aircraft, and it was a two-seater.
Dani pointed to the cylinder behind the bird and said:
"According to your instructions, Your Majesty, the inner breath conversion cabinet of this flying bird has been made into a special type. The inner breath is no longer recycled, but is directly mixed in the burning gunpowder powder and flew out."
"The first trial showed that this bird can run very fast on flat ground, but it cannot fly."
"No matter how many ways I try, I can't fly."
Dani's face was full of regret, as if she felt extremely sorry that such a bird that could run so fast could not fly into the sky.
Su Lu nodded. If this kind of flying bird could be made so easily, it wouldn't be called a new type of flying bird.
"Let's make some adjustments. According to what I said last time, make an angle here that can be fine-tuned. It can be controlled by the inner breath so that the nozzle can be adjusted."
"Our new flying bird army depends on this flying bird."
Su Lu said meaningfully.
Surrounding Feiniao, Su Lu proposed several more directions, and Dani wrote them down carefully.
After seeing the new flying birds, the two walked around the Ordnance Department again and looked at the production of other ordnance.
Su Lu also said a few words to the craftsmen at the right time, promoted several craftsmen, and gave out many rewards, which greatly improved the morale of the craftsmen in their work.
Just as they were leaving the Ordnance Mansion, an imperial guard hurried over and handed a secret letter to Su Lu.
Su Lu glanced at the secret letter, shook his head, and smiled bitterly.
Dani asked doubtfully:
"Your Majesty, what happened?"
Su Lu smiled and handed the secret letter to Dani:
"The Mali people captured Chu Nanwan Port, forced a passage, and defeated Chu's southern army. Xiao Yan, the war god of Southern Chu, is now dead or alive."
"Hey, the people from Chu are asking us for help?"
Dani said in surprise, with an expression of astonishment on her cheeks.
The Chu people even crossed the Tang Kingdom to ask for help from us...
