In Shangjun Courtyard, Xiangli Zhu was competing with a piece of tin. She was thinking of a way to make it into tinfoil, which would be as thin and flat as paper according to Li Shui's request.

While making tinfoil, Xiangli Zhu looked at Li Shui from time to time.

This made Li Shui a little helpless: "Why do you always watch what I do when you make your tin foil?"

Xianglizhu chuckled and said meaningfully: "Without the guidance of an expert from behind, you can't make something new?"

Li Shui rolled his eyes: "I don't know what you are talking about."

Afterwards, he continued to carefully polish the crystal in his hand. The crystal has been polished into a round shape. Judging from its current shape, it is indeed very similar to a convex lens...

After grinding for a while, Li Shui put down the crystal and walked out. Xiangli Zhu immediately put down the tin block and followed him out.

Li Shui said: "I'm going to the toilet, you follow me?"

Xianglizhu said: "Who knows if there is a secret passage in the toilet? Maybe if you enter the secret passage and ask an expert to teach you something, you can make New Year's gifts."

Li Shui sighed: "You can really imagine building a secret passage in a toilet."

Seeing that Xiangli Zhu was about to follow him to the toilet, Li Shui became worried and said: "That's all, in order to make the girl feel at ease, I am here for convenience and to prove my innocence."

After saying that, Li Shui began to take off his clothes. Xiangli Zhu immediately turned around and ran away.

Li Shui sneered and walked into the toilet. After finishing his toilet, he walked out satisfied.

As a result, as soon as he came out, he saw a child with a runny nose running towards Xiangli Zhu in the distance. As he ran, he shouted: "Miss Zhu, you are indeed going to the toilet."

Xiangli Zhu nodded with satisfaction and gave the child a grasshopper made of bamboo strips.

The child couldn't put it down and ran away with joy.

Xiangli Zhuze glanced at Li Shui proudly.

Li Shui: "..."

After a long time, Li Shui gave her a thumbs up: "You can do it."

Xiongnu, Shanyu Wangting.

Twenty men on fast horses roared out. The twenty warriors on the horses were all carrying long bows and holding sharp blades. The sunlight shone on the blades, making them sparkle.

There was one man in the lead, disheveled, tall, and very brave. While leading his men to run forward, he shouted to the soldiers trying to intercept him: "Anyone who stands in my way will die."

The loud shout was so deafening that it frightened the Hun soldiers and involuntarily took a few steps back.

At this time, his galloping horse had also arrived. The horse's hooves as big as a bowl stepped on the chests of the two people in front. The two men screamed and died immediately. The remaining Huns soldiers were frightened and stepped back and got out of the way.

There is a way.

Then, this man took the nineteen people behind him and ran away.

He is Modu. The nineteen people behind him are all the people he can bring out.

A few months ago, Maodun sent an envoy to Donghu. At that time, the relationship between the Xiongnu and Donghu was not harmonious, and frictions sometimes occurred.

After Maodun arrived, he tried his best to give King Donghu face while being neither humble nor arrogant. He made King Donghu feel that the Huns had no ill intentions towards Donghu and were not afraid of a fight with Donghu.

After weighing the pros and cons, King Donghu felt that making good friends with the Xiongnu was the best strategy. Therefore, Mao Dun gradually made King Donghu feel at ease and began to entertain Mao Dun.

Maodun went one step further and wanted to use the power of King Donghu to lead a group of troops back to the Xiongnu territory. He would defeat Shanyu Wangting in one fell swoop and completely control the power of the Xiongnu.

It has to be said that Mao Dun did have this ability, but while he was working hard, news came that Shatilie was leading tens of thousands of Huns soldiers to attack Donghu.

As soon as Modu heard this, he immediately ran away with his men.

He did not explain to King Donghu because he knew that this kind of thing could not be explained clearly. After many explanations, there was only one result: he was killed to vent his anger.

Whether he was unjustly accused or not, King Donghu didn't bother to tell. Anyway, he was a Huns, so he just killed him to give an explanation to his tribe.

Sure enough, as soon as Mao Dun left, King Donghu ordered Mao Dun to be hunted down and killed.

Mao Dun ran non-stop, shook off the pursuers, and finally returned to the court of Shanyu. He wanted to question his father why he attacked Donghu at such a critical moment.

In fact, when he was on the road, Mao Dun had guessed that his father wanted to kill him.

But Mao Dun deliberately ignored this possibility. After all, tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. What's more, if his father wanted to kill him, the world would be so vast that there would be nowhere to stay.

After returning to the court of Shanyu, before Maodun had time to see Shanyu, a Huns dignitary who was close to him quietly sent a letter saying that Shanyu had decided to pass the throne to Shatilie. In order to ensure

If the country is stable, he will definitely be killed.

As soon as Mao Dun heard this, he started to run away again. This time Shanyu reacted faster and ordered his soldiers to pursue and intercept him.

There are fewer and fewer people in Maodun, and now there are only nineteen left.

Fortunately, they had broken out of the encirclement, and there were few people on the grassland. If they hid, they wouldn't be found for a while.

Modun collapsed on the grassland exhausted, looked at the blue sky above his head, and couldn't help but sigh: "I, the prince, have fallen into such a miserable state."

A guard next to him handed over the wine and said: "As long as you stay alive, your Majesty will still have a chance."

Mao Dun took a sip of wine and frowned as he said, "In the past, the Chanyu favored the Yan family and favored Shatilie, but he would not kill me. Why is he so cruel this time?"

The guard said: "I heard that Sha Tilie was sent to the Qin Dynasty as an envoy and received help from the Qin people. Among the Qin people, there was a man named Huaiguzi who admired Sha Tilie very much and was willing to help him board the Shanyu.

Position. This Huaiguzi seems to be a famous and powerful official in the Qin Dynasty."

Mao Dun chuckled: "We have been fighting against the Qin people for years, but the Qin people are willing to help Shatilie? What do you think the purpose of this is?"

The guard thought for a moment and said, "Sha Tilie, have you made peace with the Qin people?"

Mao Dun shook his head: "The Qin people want me, the Xiongnu, to abolish the elders and establish younger ones. In this case, Sha Tilie and I will inevitably fight. If the Xiongnu is in chaos internally, the Qin Dynasty will be able to stabilize its borders."

The guard suddenly realized.

Mao Dun stood up and said, "Let's go south and enter Qin. We'll also join that Huai Guzi."

The guard was startled: "The Qin people have good relations with Sha Tilie. If we enter Qin, wouldn't we be throwing ourselves into a trap? The Qin people will definitely capture us and hand us over to Sha Tilie."

Mao Dun shook his head and said: "If the people of Qin knew that I was desperate, they would definitely help me. What they want to see is a fight between two tigers, not Shatilie ascending to the throne and commanding the entire Xiongnu."

"So, after I go, I will also get their support. They will give me soldiers and horses, give me money and food, and let me go back to the Huns to fight with Sha Ti Lie. Only the two of us can fight

Only when both sides suffer losses can the Qin people feel at ease."

The guard's eyes lit up and he said: "That's it. With the king's bravery, as long as the soldiers, horses, money and food are sufficient, how can Shatilie be his opponent? Wait until you destroy Shatilie, then come back to attack the Qin people and make them regret it.

Not as good as that."

Mao Dun laughed, mounted his horse and said to the guards behind him: "On this trip, I will act stupid, and you will also act stupid. The more stupid we are, the more assured the Qin people are of us, and the more they hope that we can win. Remember, they hope that we can win."

What I saw was a stupid Chanyu, not a wise Chanyu."

The guards agreed immediately, and the twenty horses ran towards the south as fast as possible.

…………

Five days later, Li Shui had already made a New Year's gift for Fu Yao. Xiangli Zhu originally looked disdainful, but he picked up the gift and played with it for a while, then fell silent.

By this time, she had already made the tinfoil, and Li Shui began to devote himself to new research.

Xiangli Zhu stood around for a while, and the more she looked, the more unbelievable she became. She had given up staring at Li Shui, because she suddenly had a feeling: Maybe there was no master hiding in Shangjun Courtyard. Maybe the person in front of her was

This so-called banished immortal is that master.

But...how could he make such a thing? How could he be so sure that this thing could be made? This...this is not something that should appear in the human world.

Xianglizhu fell into chaos, then opened the gift belonging to Fu Yao and began to study it.

Li Shui turned around and saw this scene, and was speechless. I just finished it and they dismantled it for me? Is this a naughty kid?

Xiangli Zhu felt Li Shui's gaze, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I will help you install it after I finish my research."

Li Shui said: "I hope you can really install it."

When Li Shui said this, Xianglizhu could no longer hear her. She was bending over to inspect the thing, looking very obsessed.

At this time, the calf hurried over and said to Li Shui: "Sir, it's not good."

Li Shui scolded: "If you have something to say, you won't be able to tell it right away. Are you afraid that I won't worry?"

Niu Calf laughed dryly: "Aren't you afraid that the adults will not be able to bear the bad news when they suddenly hear it?"

Li Shui felt even more uneasy and asked, "What happened?"

The calf handed over an arrow and said: "Just now, a sharp arrow suddenly shot over and was nailed to the wooden pillar next to the gate. The villain took the elder's effort to pull it out. Sir, is someone provoking us?

.”

Li Shui looked at it and found that there was a piece of cloth tied to the arrow, with a few words on it: Xianyang City, Immortal Exile Tower, Tianzi Room A, I only have to wait for an hour.

Li Shui threw the cloth away casually and cursed: "It's just a mystery, let him wait."

Niu Calf asked worriedly: "Sir, don't you go and take a look?"

Li Shui said: "If I look at it now, I have fallen into his trap. Can the person who left such a note be a good person?"

Niu Calf said: "Thank you, sir, and then I went back to guard the door."

After Niu Da left, Li Shui felt a little uneasy: Could it be that Xiang Liang sent someone here? It would be bad if he talked nonsense in the city.

So Li Shui coughed dryly and said to Niu Calf: "Take a few people with you and follow me to the Exorcist Tower. If there is an emergency after a while, I will give the order and you will swarm in. First give the people to

I’ll tie it back and talk about it later.”
