Time flies, time flies, and it will soon be early May.

On the Dragon Head Plain, the continuous explosions have lasted for nearly ten days.

The power of black gunpowder is indeed not worth mentioning in Li Hao's eyes, but it is still good to use it to demolish walls. Except for the half-foot concrete outside the outer layer of the city wall, it is not that difficult to dismantle.

The only troublesome thing is that the huge cement lumps that were removed were difficult to transport away. Li Hao had to ask someone to dig a deep hole and then bury those large cement lumps in, just to lay the foundation for the future Daming Palace.

After careful calculations and careful layout, the old man has roughly determined the plan to send troops to Shuofang.

The food, supplies and supplies were loaded to set off, and the cavalry and guards on both sides ordered 10,000 troops, and the troops were divided into two groups, led by Chai Shao and Xue Wanjun, and arrived outside Shuofang City within two months, striving to capture Shuofang within one month, and return to the court before the cold winter in the north came.

At the same time, Li Hao, who was idle, also took the errand and led the entire Lingfu army to protect Tang Jian to the Turks.

Li Jing did not mean to stop his son from going to the Turks. He just called him to his side before leaving and told him: "Dejian, the Turks are not as good as Chang'an. Remember not to be silly on the way. If you have any problems when you arrive at the Turks, it is best to put tolerance first. If you encounter something undecided, you can ask Tang Jian, do you remember?"

It was rare that the old man spoke so calmly, and Li Hao felt something was wrong: "Dad, what you said was like I caused trouble as soon as I went out. Can't you trust me?"

"I want to believe in you, but your strength must be allowed."

Hey? Is the old man so naughty? Li Hao was stunned: "Dad, are you praising me?"

Li Jing nodded: "Well, it's considered a recognition of your strength."

"Okay." Li Hao glanced at the old lady who was busy preparing her luggage for her, and decided not to continue to argue with the old man about her strength.

Li Jing also looked at Hongfu who was busy, and stroked his forehead with some headaches and said, "Madam, Dejian just followed Tang Jian to the Turks for a while. He came back in less than two months. Why do you have to bring all the winter clothes for him?"

"You don't have to worry about it!" Hong Fu said without looking back: "It's not as good as being at home when going out. There's nothing to do in the ruins of Turks. It's so cold at night. How can I not bring more clothes?"

"But you don't have to bring the pot with you, right? Are you sure this is not a moving?" Li Jing pointed helplessly at the pile of things in the yard outside, and a big pot on the top.

"What's wrong? What if my son can't get used to the Turkic things?" Hong Fu glanced at his old man and suddenly slapped his forehead: "By the way, who did you bring tea? There are no vegetables on the grassland, and you must be tired of it without tea."

Compared to the old man's helplessness, Li Hao enjoyed all this.

Li Hao, who is in his forties, knows the reason why his mother is worried about her son's mother, so as long as it is designated by Hongfu, no matter whether it is useful or not, it is just a few more carriages, and he doesn't have to carry them by himself. This will make me feel at ease. Even if he is asked to take the house away, he will not say a word.

Li Jing was actually in a state of dismay. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to express it. After thinking about it, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, go and do your business. I will go to the military camp early tomorrow morning. I will hurry up and arrange the things in your yard to understand at night."

"Okay." Li Hao was granted a general amnesty and agreed to run away happily.

To be honest, the news of the Turkic mission came too suddenly. Li Hao was completely unprepared. He didn't explain many things at home. He knew what he would look like after leaving for at least two or three months.

After Lan Ling learned that Li Hao was about to travel far, she cried so badly that she kept saying that the young master had never gone far away and that no one was taking care of him on the road would have to suffer a lot.

Li Hao felt a headache about this, so he simply ignored the girl and called Tiezhu: "Zhuzi, I'll leave Lanling to you, so please comfort me. If you still do this tomorrow morning, you can stay at home and don't go with me."

"Ah?!" Lan Ling's pretty face turned red in shock at Li Hao's pun.

Tiezhu scratched the back of his head awkwardly and stumbled for a long time: "Young Master, do you know everything?"

"I'm not blind, I look down and see you. I can't see you two every day!" Li Hao said hatefully: "I thought you were an honest man, but I didn't expect that after only a few months, I hooked up my maid away."

"Yeah..." When Li Hao said something more and more, Lan Ling was embarrassed and ran away with his face covering his face.

"I won't go after you." Li Hao glared at Tiezhu who was hesitant and said angrily, and then went back to the room alone.

The date of departure was not determined, but since the moment he received the imperial edict, even if Li Hao had a task, he had to go to the military camp to wait for clarity. This is a rule, and no one can disobey it.

After returning to the room, Li Hao seized the time to simply list the things he needed to deal with within half a year on paper.

The glass firing work has been done halfway, and no finished product has appeared yet. This work cannot be stopped, so we need to continue testing.

Although shipbuilding has been put on the agenda, it has not started. It seems that it will take some time to drag it out.

As for other things..., well, nothing else is really.

After doing it briefly, Li Hao found that his family member was really Buddhist. He kept explaining everything and left his hands alone. Whether he could rely on the guidance of fate.

The palace is in the palace, the hall of Lizheng.

Li Er slumped on the couch with his head resting on Queen Changsun's thighs, and his feet overlapped and shook them so comfortably.

Empress Changsun gently rubbed Li Er's head with a delicate jade hand, and said after a long time of silence: "Your Majesty, Dejian's child is only in his teenage years. Is it a bit too early to arrange for him to go to the Turkic Republic?"

"Ash?" Li Er raised his head and looked at Empress Changsun: "Why do I feel it's a little too late?"

"Puchi" Queen Changsun laughed out loud and said, "I know, Your Majesty must be annoyed by Dejian's child, so he will push him farther away, and you will not be upset, right?"

Li Er lay down again and said with a deep look: "This is just one of the reasons. The more important thing is that jade cannot be made into a weapon without being carved. If you don't put some pressure on that brat, he will be able to live a lifelong life and wait for death. It is rare to meet a good guy. I don't want him to be trashed in my hands."

Empress Changsun shook her head: "Even if this is the case, she has been a little bit out of the Turks when she was fourteen years old. I am afraid that few people can compare with the ancient Ganluo."

Although Empress Changsun and Li Hao had never met several times, she had a very good impression of this little guy who was not a few years older than her son and often spoke good things to him.

This time I heard that Li Hao was going to follow Tang Jian to serve the Turks, and I felt a little embarrassed and wanted to persuade Li Er to take back Cheng’s life.

But Li Er's decision was not so easy to change. As the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, what was going on when he said something like splashed out of water, spitting out a spit and licking it back?

In Duke Lu's Mansion, Cheng Yinyin was playing the piano in the yard, listening to the neighing of the war horses in the martial arts field in the border yard, and the sound of the piano became more and more urgent.

The sound reaches the highest point, and the sound of the piano comes to an abrupt end.

"Miss..." The maid next to her took a step forward with concern.

Cheng Yinyin shook her head and said lightly: "It's okay, I'm so anxious."

Seeing this, the maid hurriedly said, "I'll let someone come to repair it now."

Cheng Yinyin didn't say anything, as if she didn't hear it. Looking at the broken strings, her heart was heavy, and she always felt that something was about to happen.

A moment later, the zither master from the mansion followed the maid, changed the broken strings simply and quickly and said goodbye and left.

Cheng Yinyin put his hand on the piano again, but this time he couldn't calm down. Just as he was about to order the maid to remove the Qin, he heard the maid whisper: "Miss, I just heard a message in the front yard."

"Oh? What news?" Anyway, he had no intention of playing, so Cheng Yinyin simply planned to listen to what the maid heard.

The maid thought about it and seemed to be organizing language. After a while, she slowly said: "Miss, I heard that the young master of Duke Wei's mansion would be on the Turks as the deputy envoy in the near future."

"What?!"

After a moment of rushing, Cheng Yinyin suddenly stood up and opened her eyes wide: "Is the news true?"

The maid was startled and said quickly: "It's what Mr. Chumo said, it should be true. I heard that Mr. Chumo is going to go too."

"No, they can't go." Thinking of the strings that had just been broken for no reason, Cheng Yinyin said decisively.

The maid looked at Cheng Yinyin carefully: "Miss, this is probably not possible. Young Master Chumo said that the imperial edict has been issued."

Cheng Yinyin felt confused and didn't know what to do for a moment.

With the imperial edict, it will be difficult to change even if the Heavenly King comes. Even if this trip is not auspicious, it must go.

Besides, how could she change the strings just because a little girl played the piano and broke the strings.

After hesitating for a long time, Cheng Yinyin seemed to have made up some determination and walked out of the yard with her sleeves.

"Miss, where are you going, Miss?"

"I'll ask someone to prepare a horse and follow me to the Duke of Wei's Mansion." Cheng Yinyin didn't look back.

At the same time, the same thing happened in the Hejian County Prince's Mansion and the Yongkang County Duke's Mansion.

After Li Xueyan learned the news, she also ordered people to prepare for going to the Duke of Wei’s Mansion.

On the Yongkang County Duke's Mansion, Li Yueling was in a state of confusion and was so annoyed that she wanted to slap herself a few times.

If I had known that my cousin would go to the Turks in the near future, I would not have joked about him when I said that, and taught him some martial arts that could be used in battle formations. Even if I sharpen my guns in the face of the battle, it would be better than just knowing how to squat horse stance.
