The Eighth Section: The Great Tang's Number One Thief

  Li Yuanxing took out a few things that are not special in modern times, two bottles of white wine, over 100 yuan per bottle. Donkey hide gelatin was packed in two bamboo tubes, all of which were repackaged after removing the packaging, and came with two small bamboo spoons. As well as two roasted chickens without packaging, and a bag of fried peanuts without packaging.

  "This bamboo slip contains medicine, the best kind of medicine. Brother Qin has lost too much blood!" It's unnecessary to say more, Old Wolf knew the value of this medicine, and since he was certain it came from heaven, then it must be good medicine.

  "This medicine is lost, you two will pay with your lives!" The old wolf was a ruthless man, but the soldiers didn't hesitate to agree.

  Two soldiers took the saddles and hurried back to Chang'an City to deliver them to Qin Qiong.

  At this time, Li Yuanxing took out the sandbox printed by the 3D printer. It was very small and the text on it needed a magnifying glass to be seen clearly. "Old Wolf, this is what I asked you to help me with. This is a map, a topographic map of the Turkic region. This thing can't be let others see, I need to make a big one with mud and sand."

  "Turk?" The old wolf repeated, also a question.

  Li Yuanxing nodded heavily: "Since you believe I'm from heaven, I'll tell you that in three or four months, the Turks will think that the Tang Dynasty is unstable due to the Xuanwu Gate incident and launch a surprise attack on us. Do you believe it or not!" When he mentioned the surprise attack on the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanxing's expression changed, becoming ferocious.

  A shocking scene appeared before Li Yuanxing's eyes.

  The old wolf let out a loud cry and fell to the ground, using the knife given to him by Li Yuanxing to slash his forehead, allowing fresh blood to flow all over his face. He spoke in a slow and deliberate tone: "Lang Jun is the fifth brother of the King of Qin!"

  What a ruthless remark!

  The old wolf has made up his mind, the old wolf is not afraid to die. The old wolf tells Li Yuanxing with great justice that you must help the Tang Dynasty, even if I, the old wolf, were to die ten thousand times!

  "Old wolf, help me."

  "I'd die a thousand times!" The old wolf wiped the blood on his forehead onto the knife, and only then did he truly take possession of it.

  Twenty craftsmen knelt trembling inside a huge marching tent, with twenty sword-wielding soldiers standing behind them. Li Yuanxing sat on the horse saddle at the front, while Old Wolf stood in front of him, his face stern and murderous, as he spoke to the twenty craftsmen: "The work you will do next, if done well, will be rewarded heavily; if not, there will be flogging and beating with sticks. If anyone dares to leak out half a word, their entire family will be killed; whoever listens, their entire family will be killed! If any outsider peeks, their entire family will be killed!"

  Three families were killed, and all the workers fell to their knees.

  What surprised Li Yuanxing was that the craftsmen did not show fear, but rather some excitement. Didn't they fear being killed along with their families?

  When the craftsmen started making wooden grid discs, Li Yuanxing asked the question.

  The old wolf explained: "If you can do a big job that kills the whole family, as long as you are regular, the reward will not be less, and there is also a chance to become a household craftsman, not those scattered craftsmen who can't get an order for several days and can't eat enough!"

  For the first time, Li Yuanxing found himself underestimating the Great Tang Dynasty. The craftsmanship of the artisans was at a master level even by modern standards.

  Without using a ruler, just by looking with the eyes, over a hundred wooden sticks are almost exactly the same in length, thickness and thinness.

  Making the sandbox wasn't difficult, especially with more than 20 craftsmen putting in their hard work. The green color of the lawn was made by having the servants outside pound several hundred baskets of grass into juice and mixing it with mud to create a green paste. The forest was created by digging up over a thousand saplings of various trees from the mountains, and the river was made by pressing blue cloth strips onto the ground.

  Castles and camps are easier to make, wood can be used to create them.

  Li Yuanxing watched as the sandbox was made, this huge sandbox, which is ten meters long and six meters wide, looked more and more like the small one in his hand, and the joy in his heart overflowed onto his face.

  Seeing Li Yuanxing smile, the craftsmen also felt a lot more at ease.

  They can make such secretive things, and if they succeed, they won't be let out again. Except for the two leaders who were originally craftsmen raised by the Qin family, the rest of the craftsmen know that they have a long-term rice bowl in the future.

  At noon, Li Yuanxing took out the cooked food and wine he had bought from the supermarket to thank Lao Lang and the soldiers. At this time, the two soldiers who delivered goods to Qin's mansion returned, their clothes and armor disheveled, with bruises on their faces, looking extremely pitiful.

  "Who?" The old wolf asked only this one word.

  Dare to move the soldiers of Qin's mansion, especially just a few days after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and especially after Qin's blood washed the Crown Prince's mansion, Chang'an was not even the Li family who had this courage, let alone ordinary aristocratic families.

  "General of the Right Wuwei!" The two soldiers didn't even dare to lift their heads.

  Upon hearing the three words "Right Wuwei General", Old Wolf was also helpless. Because he couldn't afford to provoke him, at that time even if it were himself, he would have been brutally beaten and robbed by that demon head.

  But rules can't be broken: "Go and receive twenty lashes, come back and listen to orders!"

  The two soldiers stepped down, with no resentment towards being punished. Li Yuanxing didn't know who the Right Wuwei General was, but hearing that he was a duke, he had a mind to help the two soldiers speak up, but the old wolf only retorted: "Military law cannot be abolished!" Li Yuanxing then shut his mouth.

  In the afternoon, Li Yuanxing was still working hard on making the sandbox, and he kept putting forward his opinions while comparing the details on the small sandbox.

  The old wolf was hesitant, and there were two saddles left. One should be for Qin Wang, and the other might be what Li Yuanxing left for himself. Could he get another one for Qin Qiong? And what about the medicine? It seemed that there wasn't any more in Li Yuanxing's wooden box. What method could he use to get the medicine back?

  Li Yuanxing was still thinking, who is this Right Wuwei General? Could it be an enemy, should I find a chance to take revenge later.

  The two men, however, did not know that the Right Wuwei General was coming this way on horseback with Qin Qiong. Who was the Right Wuwei General? It was none other than Cheng Yaojin, the Great Demon King of the Mixed World. The thing was a good thing, but it was a pity that the two soldiers had not wrapped it well and let him see it. The wine was top-grade fine wine, and the bottle alone was worth several guan.

  The chicken is so good that even the bones can be bitten off.

  When he saw the bamboo tube and a piece of paper attached to it, Cheng Yaojin knew that this was medicine, the medicine for Qin Qiong.

  What is brotherhood? Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong are brothers who share life and death together. Wine can be snatched, meat can be eaten, but this medicine was taken by oneself, sorry to the brother.

  Cheng Yaojin slapped himself a dozen times in front of Qin Qiong, and Qin Qiong finally understood what had happened.

  He said nothing but one sentence: "He has no constant possessions, where did these come from?"

  Cheng Yaojin suddenly reacted, and Li Yuanxing only had two things, one was the leather wallet, and the other was the knife given to Qin Qiong. It's impossible to hide these things in his clothes, so where did they come from?

  Someone was sent to report to Li Er, and Qin Cheng led 500 soldiers out of the city. Qin Qiong still couldn't put his mind at ease about Li Yuanxing, even if Li Yuanxing had given him a sword or medicine.
