Chapter 173: Enlightenment

Su Yang opened his eyelids and glanced at someone on the desk, and said jokingly: "It's sent to Yuanyuan again."

The boy who delivered the letter was a literate house slave. He nodded after hearing this.

Su Yang pursed his lips in the direction of Su Mingjue, "Bring it to Master Ming! From now on! All the letters sent to Yuanyuan are Master Ming's letters, so remember them carefully."

The boy responded with a "Yes", Then he presented the letter to Su Mingjue.

Su Mingjue was also a little dazed when he heard that there was another letter.

After opening the envelope for a moment, Su Mingjue raised the corner of her mouth when she saw the words "Dragon and Phoenix". She didn't expect that Meng Helan, who looked like a rough guy, would write a letter with such thoughtfulness.

After opening the letter and saying hello, it came with a drawing. Su Mingjue looked at the paper and saw a clearly marked crossbow machine drawing.

Meng Helan happily wrote in the letter that this is his newly developed small crossbow machine. In preliminary tests, it can shoot 240 steps and can hook wooden feather arrows and three-stop arrows. It is still being improved, but I don’t know what to use. Name, looking forward to Su Mingjue returning to Beijing to test with him.

Su Mingjue saw the exquisite design. Although he couldn't see the actual object, he could imagine that it must be very powerful, and he was very happy for Meng Helan's invention.

He picked up his pen and replied that this crossbow looked very good, but it was a bit laborious to pull the bow manually. If it could eject automatically, the effect would be better.

With this object, the combat capability is greatly improved, like a tiger with wings, so it can be named tiger-wing bow.

Then he wrote some of his experiences in the south and looked forward to trying it out with him after returning to Beijing.

Su Yang was idle on the side, watching Su Mingjue read two letters in a row and reply carefully, his eyes narrowed.

This guy said it was not a letter from a close friend.

When he wrote the letter, he would laugh and shake his head at other times, as if he was yearning for spring.

However, if two letters come at once, can this guy handle it? Beware of stepping on two boats and the boat capsizes.

Su Mingjue didn't expect that his cousin would miss him like this. After writing two letters, he asked the maid for an envelope. After sealing it with fire paint, he took out some silver and gave it to the boy: "Excuse me, please send the two letters out with flying pigeons." , I will give you the rest of the money as a reward."

The boy nodded and took it with a smile on his face, and exited the room.

Su Yang leaned in front of the desk and said meaningfully: "The Su Mansion has someone to send letters. You don't need it, but you still want to use the flying pigeons outside. Is it to prevent me from peeking?" There is

no use for the Su Mansion. One is the Su Mansion. The official letter used was not suitable for sending to the capital. Secondly, I was afraid that Lu Shaoqing would think too much and think that he was really reluctant to spend money.

Su Mingjue let him tease him without responding, and then said: "Tomorrow Baili Xi asked me to go somewhere else to play, will you go?"

Su Yang glanced at him when he heard this, "I told you alone."

Su Mingjue was startled. "What's the difference?"

Su Yang chuckled secretly. Don't think he didn't notice that when we went out to play today, that boy Baili Xi was hanging around Su Mingjue. It's not

like Su Yang doesn't have other people to play with, so what's the point of being sandwiched between the two of them? Besides,

he hasn't shown off his newly learned Tahunmu in front of others. Instead of being unable to keep up with him in front of these two people, he might as well show off in front of others. Enjoy the sought after.

Hearing this, Su Yang refused without thinking, "Just go ahead, I have other arrangements tomorrow." Seeing this,

Su Mingjue didn't say any more, thinking that Su Yang wouldn't be able to bear the trouble today and would wait a few days before talking.

...

the next morning.

Su Mingjue got up from the bed, washed up and went out of the Su Mansion. As soon as he walked out of the door, a clear voice came: "Mingjue, I'm here."

Su Mingjue looked back, and Baili Xi sat down with a bright smile on his face. Looking at him on the horse, I was used to seeing him wearing light-colored clothes, but today he wore a red robe, which made him look white, delicate, and even more enchanting.

Su Mingjue looked at the other party's charming face and was distracted for a moment. I have to say that Baili Xi's appearance was really good-looking.

Especially at this moment, he was bathed in the morning light, and his whole body seemed to be glowing, making people unable to take their eyes away.

He is also riding a horse, but his legs can reach the ground slenderly, showing a good proportion of broad shoulders and long legs.

Seeing that Su Mingjue didn't respond to him, Baili Xi leaned over and stretched out his hand and shouted, "Come, I'll take you."

After hearing this, Su Mingjue came back to his senses for a moment, looked at the other's long legs, and then turned to his own short legs. He refused instantly. He didn't want to be a green leaf. He had to be beautiful alone.

He shook his head and walked to the door, jumping on a horse.

Seeing that he didn't come towards her, Bailixi turned to ride a horse by himself. His eyes drooped slightly, with a trace of regret in his eyes, but he returned to normal after a moment.

Su Mingjue rode up to Baili Xi, "Where are we going today?"

Baili Xi curled his lips with a smile in his eyes, "A good place, I think the most beautiful place in the world."

After saying that, he left. The horse moved forward, and Su Mingjue saw this and followed him. The two walked one after another for about half an hour, and finally stopped at a piece of shallow grass.

After Baili Xi dismounted, he skillfully led Su Mingjue forward. Su Mingjue dismounted and followed Baili Xi.

When we got closer, we discovered that some houses had been built neatly on a flat area.

A woman in a wattle hairpin skirt came from a distance pulling a fishing net. When she saw Baili Xi approaching, she happily greeted: "The patriarch is here! I just caught fresh fish, let me have lunch here!" "

Before Baili Xi could respond, the woman turned her eyes to a young man with delicate features and elegant clothes next to him, and hesitated and said: "This is"

Baili Xi pursed his lips and said with a smile: "This is the person you have been talking about wanting to see Su Mingjue. Mr. Su."

The woman looked excited when she heard this, put down the fishing net in her hand, knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for your help!"

Su Mingjue was a little confused when he saw this, and leaned down to help him up, "This lady, If something happens, please get up and we can talk about it."

However, the woman was very stubborn. No matter how hard Su Mingjue tried to pull her, she would not get up and insisted on kowtowing her head three times.

Su Mingjue looked sideways at Baili Xi, begging him to come to the rescue, but Baili Xi shook his head and said, "This is Yun Niang, a member of our tribe."

After hearing this, Su Mingjue roughly guessed it, probably because he helped them get it. He had acquired a piece of land, so the man in front of him was grateful to him.

After Su Mingjue learned about this situation, his face turned red. Although he had indeed done a favor to others, it was not worth kowtowing like this. He couldn't bear it.

But despite her insistence, Su Mingjue had no choice but to suffer like this.

After the woman finished kowtowing, she warmly invited: "If my benefactor is free, come to my house for a casual meal."

Su Mingjue nodded after hearing this, "Then I'll take care of you."

The woman was very happy to see Su Mingjue agree and got up. He patted the dirt on his body and said, "No trouble, no trouble!"

Someone came in from outside, brought by the clan leader. For a while, many people gathered around to watch the excitement.

When Yun Niang saw everyone coming over, she raised her voice and said: "My tribe, this is Mr. Su Mingjue who saved us from fire and water, gave us food and clothing, and is an upright man!" When

an old man heard this, his eyes were filled with tears, and then he screamed. A cry: "Kowtow to your benefactor, everyone!"

As soon as the words fell, people knelt on the ground in front of Su Mingjue. There were old people, young people, young men and women.

Su Mingjue was a little startled when she saw thousands of people kneeling in front of them. She turned around to look for Baili Xi, but saw that he was missing for some reason, and even Yun Niang who was holding the fishing net was missing.

Yun Niang was picking up fish on the water bank. She looked at Baili Xi's eyes looking far away and said with a smile: "This Mr. Su is really good-looking."

Baili Xi smiled and said nothing.

Yun Niang looked at the other party's expression and guessed the general meaning, "The men in the clan kneel to the sky and to the sky, to their parents and to their benefactors but not to their wives. If the clan leader doesn't go to the front, he has other intentions."

Baili Xi's eyes flashed and he remained the same. There was no response, Yun Niang said with a smile: "The patriarch's appearance is also good, but I think Mr. Su is not yet enlightened. If the patriarch is interested, he may be a little embarrassed."

She picked up the fish in the bucket and said, "In my opinion We still have to find some way to get him to wake up. I have a plan, would the clan leader want to hear it?"
