The moonlight is like water, pouring into the courtyard. People far and near are bathed in the milky white moonlight.
Li Dingyuan stood beside the stone table, his face as sinking as water.
More than a dozen guards in black and red armor jumped out from the wall, from the top of the tree, or from the shadows in the yard, holding swords and swords, and surrounded Su Lu. For a moment, the situation was tense.
Su Yun put his hand on Su Lu's shoulder. Little Niba straightened his waist and looked at Li Dingyuan.
Su Lu kept eating the noodles and sneered: "Why, the prince can't even listen to a word of the truth. He is so petty, which is not the style of a nobleman from the Tian family."
Li Dingyuan waved his hand, and a dozen guards disappeared without saying a word.
Sitting down on the stone bench, Li Dingyuan's expression became warm again: "Although your words are unpleasant, looking back on the situation at that time, isn't that what you meant."
After Su Lu finished eating the noodles, the hunger in his stomach disappeared. He took a sip of soup and patted his belly with satisfaction:
"It's good when you're hungry. Even the noodles mixed with bran taste so delicious. Later I have to think of ways to get out the wind mill or water mill. This noodles is too unpalatable."
Li Dingyuan snorted: "You can just buy fine flour."
Su Yun next to him curled his lips: "Fine flour costs one tael per kilogram. His monthly salary and honors add up to just over 10 taels. We have such a big family to support, but we can't afford it."
Li Dingyuan was stunned. He didn't usually deal with money, so he really didn't understand the price situation very well.
Su Lu took off Su Yun's hand on his shoulder. This girl was really ready to take action just now, and her shoulder was sore when she grabbed her.
"Your Majesty, unite with Western Qin to show that Tang is weak and accumulate strength. Even if it means secretly transporting money and supplies, Qin must be on the front line against Tang. This is the center of Han's southern strategy. All economic and military operations must be carried out.
Center this.”
Li Dingyuan frowned. After a long time, his expression changed and he asked Su Lu:
"What about the northern border? It's bordered by the desert to the west, so there's nothing we can do about it. There's constant war between the northern border and Thule. What strategy should we adopt to build the country?"
Su Lu told Niba to get mooncakes for several months. This guy from Tudun'er said that his mother had made mooncakes and wanted to send some to him. Halfway through the damn Mid-Autumn Festival, he still hadn't seen his grandson's mooncakes.
Xiao Niba looked at Li Dingyuan, somewhat reluctant to go.
Su Lu kicked him on the butt: "Your Majesty doesn't want to touch me. If he really wants to kill me, your three-legged cat's kung fu won't even be able to cope with a guard."
Little Niba then turned around and left.
Li Dingyuan looked at Su Lu: "You are a good man in leading troops and fighting. Qing'er said that you have been invincible so far. So tell me, in the north, do we still need to pay tribute to the Thule people?"
Su Lu took the mooncake Xiao Niba brought back, broke half of it and handed it to Li Dingyuan, smiling and motioning for Li Dingyuan to try it.
Li Dingyuan took the mooncake, took a bite, swallowed it hard for a long time, and finally swallowed it back, then angrily scolded Su Lu:
"Do you know that this mooncake is terrible, so you gave me half of it?"
Su Lu smiled: "Mooncakes are not delicious, they are not delicacies. I am just reminding you not to think about good things. For such a big issue as the national strategy, I will give you a southward direction. Hurry up and get your mind."
Come."
Li Dingyuan frowned: "Tell me first, I don't have the mental method with me. I'll send someone to bring it to you tomorrow."
Su Lu shook his head: "Exchange of equal value, exchange of equal value, do you understand? I have to see if your mentality is worthy of my good strategy. Besides, what's the use of asking me so much, Han?"
It doesn’t matter what you said.”
Li Dingyuan blushed and stood up again. On the top of the tree, in the shadows, and on the wall, people started to poke their heads with swords.
Li Qing ran in from outside: "Su Lu, Su Lu, write down Jing Yesi's thoughts and give them to me."
Li Qing was startled when he saw the tense situation in the yard, and hurriedly stood between Li Dingyuan and Su Lu, with anxious expressions on his face:
"Su Lu, are you talking nonsense again? You used to make me so angry that I couldn't eat, but now you're here again..."
"Don't talk nonsense. It's not because I was angry that you couldn't eat before. I made a deal with the prince and told him some strategies for building a country. He gave me the mental method that can alleviate the pain of resurgent power."
Li Qing looked at Su Lu in surprise: "Nuan Yang Heart Sutra?"
After saying that, Li Qing looked at Li Dingyuan in shock:
"..."
"Okay, let's stop here today. Qing'er is coming with me."
Li Dingyuan grabbed Li Qing's wrist, pulled her and walked out.
Li Qing was anxious: "Su Lu, please write down Jingyesi's thoughts for me quickly. If anyone asks you in the future, you won't be able to write it for him."
Before Su Lu had time to refuse, a guard jumped down from the wall, took away the noodle bowls and kettles on the table, and put pen, ink, paper and inkstones on the table. The guard from the top of the tree jumped down and brought a lantern.
Su Lu looked at the standing guards in surprise: "It's really difficult for you. It's not easy to be a guard for the prince. You have to carry pens, inks, paper, inkstones, and lanterns with you. You also have to watch when he loses his temper. It's not easy.
easy."
Li Dingyuan glared at Su Lu again angrily.
Su Lu picked up the brush, dipped it in ink to brew his emotions, and then finished it in one stroke.
After writing his name on the signature, Su Lu looked at what he had written and felt very proud. Not only did the cards improve his fighting ability, but his physical fitness also improved a lot. Even his writing skills had changed.
Extremely good.
"Tsk, tsk, this word is really good, I feel good after reading it."
Su Lu started to brag on his own.
Li Qing pushed Su Lu away, carefully picked up the rice paper, carefully dried the ink, and glared at Su Lu:
"You're getting thicker and thicker, and you don't feel embarrassed at all when you praise yourself."
Su Lu suddenly came to his senses: "Hey, you can't let me write for free. I have to pay, and the princess has to pay."
Li Qing snorted in his nostrils: "Next time you seize the silver, you can take it from it. This time, the amount of the treasure from the previous dynasty is much different. Did you hide it secretly?"
Su Lu glanced at Li Dingyuan: "I don't dare to do this. This was snatched from the Thule people, and the number will definitely not match. But I don't have the guts to intercept it. This is a treasure from the previous dynasty. Maybe this
There is something forbidden in the gold."
Li Dingyuan said: "Zhao Demou said that they only got so much, and Su Lu immediately blocked it. Sun Buzong proposed to divide it up, but Su Lu's captain stopped him."
"Sun Chengmou's descendants are becoming more and more ineffective. Fighting is nothing but evil. They are doing a lot of crooked ways. I have to make Sun Chengmou look good later. Qing'er, let's go."
Li Qing stuck out his tongue and followed Li Dingyuan away.
"Kill"
Suddenly, shouts of death rang out from the top of the city.
Li Dingyuan was stunned, and he and Li Qing stopped, looking at the city wall in astonishment.
Fireworks rose, and there was a lot of noise on the top of the city, mixed with the words of the Thule people, and the light of fire lit up on the top of the city.
Su Lu was stunned for a moment. The one calling for death was Su Ping. He was on duty on the city wall today, and the one on duty was Battalion B.
The Thule spies captured the city? But the Thule army was still in Beizheng. What would happen if the Thule spies captured the city?
Men San's fat body jumped down from the city wall, stepped on the wall of Su Lu's courtyard, then landed on the ground, rolled several somersaults, and knelt down in front of Su Lu.
"Captain, the Thule army is approaching the city. Lieutenant Su, please come and take command."
