Tang's dining table

Chapter 1259 Curiosity will kill the cat

Princess Taiping is very smart, but letting her see the artillery and get the secrets of the artillery is still an impossible task for Taiping.

Despite her efforts, she still knew nothing about the artillery. She only knew that it was a strange thing with two wheels and a thick copper pipe. There was nothing unusual about it.

But after visiting the artillery firing experiment, she was still immersed in the horrifying scene of the artillery destroying the world. At that moment, a crazy voice kept telling her that she must have this thing.

In the evening, Yun Luan got off work. When he took off his white coat and was about to leave the laboratory, he found Taiping leaning at his door waiting for him.

"I know such a good thing too late."

Yun Luan nodded and said: "The artillery you see is the fourth generation of artillery. It uses explosive shells, a kind of artillery that mainly kills with explosion waves and explosive fragments.

If you see the first and second generation artillery, you will find that it is a big and useless catapult. A big iron ball or stone ball will fly out of the barrel, and it will be pushed out by gunpowder, hitting whoever it is. Bad luck.

Even if you saw such artillery, you wouldn't be interested. "

Taiping nodded and said: "It is true that vision is very important. Just like your mother-in-law, she fell in love with your powerless Aye at the beginning. The two of them grew up from scratch to the current aristocratic family. And for many years, you Aye I only love your mother-in-law, you deserve it."

Yun Luan smiled and said: "You can tell a towering tree by looking at a seedling, and you can tell a shining gold by looking at dust. All the Yun family members have this ability."

"So, your Yun family is more valuable than others."

"That's right, I, Aye, say that my talents will be useful, and I will come back after all the money I have spent. This is the Yun family's motto. At present, the power and money my family has are two convenient tools for our family to do things.

If one day the Yun family is unable to do anything, we will hand over all our power and money. Even if our family works hard on the fields, we will definitely be the best and richest farmers in the Tang Dynasty.

So, Taiping, don’t threaten our family with power, money, etc. If you make me angry, Aye, take our whole family into the Qinling Mountains to become barbarians, then only Datang will suffer. "

Taiping frowned and said: "No one is threatening your family. I just want you to accompany me to visit the artillery tomorrow. At least, I want to understand what the artillery is and why it is so powerful."

Yun Luan put on his backpack and looked at Taiping and said: "Back then, you had the opportunity to learn what the Yun family learned, but I heard that you were not very willing?"

Taiping Yingying bowed and said, "This little girl was stupid back then and had no eyesight."

Yun Luan avoided Taiping and sighed: "An artillery involves so much knowledge. If you want to truly understand artillery, you must start with the principles of gunpowder. As far as I know, it doesn't take more than three or five years. I’m afraid it’s a matter of chance.”

Taiping said: "It's just a dead object, how difficult can it be?"

Yun Luan chuckled lightly and stopped answering. He turned around and left the City of No Return.

Taiping followed him very energetically, accompanied by his personal female officer.

Yun Luan kept looking at the people on the street. The people here were very different from the people in Chang'an City. The people in Chang'an City were at least lively, while the people who did not return to the city seemed lifeless.

Also, for nearly twenty years, these people lived in the city of No Return without being able to go anywhere. Their lives were uneventful and they did not see much change. They did the same work every day, although they were well fed and clothed. After all, he is just a prisoner who will not return to the city.

When passing by the small brothel, Yun Luan noticed that there were many men queuing up there. On the roof of the small two-story building, a woman in blue was standing with her face hidden and crying. She looked like she was about to jump off the building.

Seeing this scene, Yun Luan couldn't help but sigh.

Taiping, who was walking beside him, said suspiciously: "Why are you sighing? Are you unwilling to go with me?"

Yun Luan shook his head and said, "No."

Taiping said angrily: "Yun Xiaoniao, if you have something to say, just say it directly and don't be arrogant."

Yun Luan pointed to the crowd of people lining up outside the brothel and said, "There are newcomers there."

Taiping is so smart. Hearing Yunluan's words, he immediately understood what was going on. He sneered and said, "You are also a sinner. Since you don't want to be insulted, you should be obedient. Since you can do the crime of being a monk and being sold to Yeting Palace, you should She must suffer whatever she suffers.

Aren't you, the Yun family, always good at buying people from Yeting Palace? If you have a pity for the beauty, then go buy it? "

Yun Luan gritted his teeth and said, "You are also a woman, and you have no intention of harming others?"

Taiping looked at Yunluan and said, "If I have such a day, I will definitely not blame everyone!"

Yun Luan grinned bitterly and said: "He is another good man who can't eat five pots of food and cook five pots of food. You Li family are used to producing such people."

Taiping glanced at the woman standing on the top of the building and said disdainfully: "It's just a pretense. No one can be killed by falling from such a low pavilion. If she really wants to die, the hairpin on her head can give her several happy ways to die. Now, that woman is pretending. After she is dragged back, she will be able to accept her fate obediently.

She died before, but she is not dead anymore. This is a good excuse. Although she will rot in the mud in the future, she will still live after all. "

Yun Luan looked at Taiping in surprise and said, "Too..."

Before he could finish his words, the woman in blue jumped up, determined to die. However, there were many strong men downstairs, and one of them actually jumped up and hugged the woman in blue. Waiting As soon as his feet landed on the ground, he laughed and hugged the woman, pushing through the crowd and walking impatiently towards the small building.

"When you come here next time, you might see that pretty girl sitting upstairs smiling and entertaining customers."

Listening to the venom-like words spewed out of Taiping's pretty little mouth, Yun Luan scratched his hair, shouted and quickened his pace towards the gate of the City of No Return.

"You, the Yun family, are used to producing such bad people. Speaking of which, the men in your family are actually quite suitable to be princes-in-law. No wonder my sister has to marry your eldest brother life or death." Taiping, who has also practiced martial arts, followed. Yun Luan's footsteps were not weak at all.

At the same time, she also keenly discovered the weaknesses in the character of Yun Luan, her childhood friend.

Yun Luan ran faster.

However, Taiping slowed down and said to the female official who was accompanying him: "Go kill that guilty woman. Yun Xiaoniao wants her to die, and he doesn't want her to live like a ball of mud."

The female officer turned around and went to the small brothel without saying anything.

After leaving the City of No Return, Yun Luan finally returned Wu Youji's war horse to him. He suddenly felt that there was no point in bullying others.

Wu Youji was very embarrassed at this time. Although he was very tired after following the carriage for more than ten miles, he recovered immediately after resting for a day. Except for his disheveled hair, tattered clothes, and cracked shoes, his overall condition was... It looks pretty good, but a little aggrieved.

The handsome man who was fighting with Wu Youji was no better. His clothes and hair were not very tidy either. However, even though the handsome man was in a state of embarrassment, he still had a somewhat bleak beauty. He stood there and looked up at the sky, paying no attention to anyone. Like a strain of ease.

"I'll give you your horse back, and I won't take it from you again."

Yun Luan apologized to Wu Youji seriously.

Wu Youji did not take the reins of the war horse, but still looked at Yun Luan angrily without saying anything.

Yun Luan put the reins of the war horse in Wu Youji's hand and said, "I really hope you can become a couple with Taiping."

After all, Wu Youji was moved by Yun Luan's sincerity and hesitated for a moment: "Don't you want to?"

Yun Luan whispered: "You have only been with her for a few days, and you have suffered so much. Don't forget, she and I grew up together. Although one is in Luoyang and the other is in Chang'an, as long as we meet, the things you eat will Kutou, I haven’t eaten anything less. Don’t worry, I don’t like Taiping.”

Wu Youji's originally dull eyes suddenly had some light. He put the reins of the war horse back into Yun Luan's hands and said, "This horse is for you."

Yun Luan did not refuse, patted Wu Youji's shoulder, led the horse to the city gate and waited for Taiping to come out. His official duties for the day would be completed.

As for the handsome man, Yun Luan had no intention of moving forward. As long as he was a man, he didn't like to be in front of a handsome man. Otherwise, he would be compared to others like a stupid donkey.

Taiping left the City of No Return under the escort of the female officer. He waved to Yunluan and said, "Do you need me to return the token to you?"

Yun Luan patted the new token on his waist and said, "No need, that piece should be given to you. Your Highness, I will resign."

After that, without waiting for Taiping to say anything, he jumped on his horse and returned to Chang'an.

When Wu Youji saw Yun Luan rejecting Tai Ping's refusal simply and neatly, his dissatisfaction with Yun Luan dissipated in an instant.

He wanted to get close to Taiping, but found that Taiping went to the handsome man, and held the man's hand and whispered: "Xue Lang, let's go back."

The handsome man Xue Shao nodded reservedly, and under Wu Youji's gaze, he held Taiping's hand and sent her into the repaired carriage.

Taiping had been busy all day, and got into the carriage with Xue Shao. He leaned lazily on the brocade pillow, looked at Xue Shao's delicate face, stretched out an index finger to rub it and said softly: "In the past, looking at it always made me happy." The princess' heartbeat looks a bit mediocre today."

Xue Shao said with a smile: "Maybe it's because I was in such a mess today and the powder has faded a lot."

Princess Taiping smiled and said nothing, and the carriage drove slowly. Xue Shao knelt down in the carriage and gently squeezed Taiping's calf. Taiping looked out the window, and this time he did not make a charming and emotional sound.

When Yun Luan came back, the Yun family's dinner had already started. Except for the absence of the eldest brother, the family was quite complete today.

After washing, Yun Luan threw a dumpling into his mouth and ate it to suppress his hunger. When he saw his father eating white rice expressionlessly, he deliberately coughed and said, "Aye, you don't want to ask Taiping about watching the artillery today." ?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "No need to ask, artillery will be a matter of the royal family from now on, our family will try to stay away from this thing as much as possible."

Yun Luan asked again: "So, did Aye get what he wanted?"

Yun Chu put down his chopsticks and looked at his youngest son and said: "The Steel City project has been launched. This time, the royal family does not hold a share. The site selection, investment, construction, and operation will all be the affairs of the Chang'an government from now on."

Yun Luan ate another dumpling and whispered: "It's good. So, the ban will be lifted in Bugui City in the future?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Impossible, the emperor will only choose a safer place to imprison these people again."

"For example, where will the confinement be?"

Yun Chu glanced at his younger son who was asking for more information, and patiently replied: "Jiucheng Palace."

"Since we still have to blockade, why did we agree to watch the artillery in Taiping?"

Yun Chu pondered for a moment and said: "I have been sharpening my sword for ten years, but I have never tried it. Today I will show it to you. Who has any grievances?"

Yun Luan choked and coughed, and quickly drank a mouthful of water to suppress it. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "So, many people will go to see the cannon?"

Yun Chu picked up the bowl and said: "Remember, if anyone is qualified to watch the cannon in the future, you should try to stay away from them. Don't wait until His Majesty kills someone and makes you bloody."

Yun Luan nodded and said: "Anyone who takes the initiative to rush to see the cannon is a dangerous person in the eyes of His Majesty."

"That's the truth."
