The Twelfth Section: The Joy of Zhangsun's Family

  Li Jing got drunk, the 52-degree white wine made him stay up all night without sleep, and Li Jing, who had consumed a lot of mental energy without eating or drinking, got drunk, and it would be a miracle if he didn't get drunk after drinking half a bottle.

  This time it was Li Yuanxing who stood in front of the sandbox and stared blankly.

  Even if it's a strategy game, this difficulty is too high. Li Yuanxing's military level is at most just random thoughts.

  But Li Yuanxing was unwilling, the Great Tang is the number one empire in the world, and this is Qin territory!

  The people of Qin have been hot-blooded since ancient times!

  The powerful Qin unified the six states, and the mighty Han dynasty flourished on this land.

  Li Yuanxing is also a Qin person, a native of Xi'an who grew up in the 21st century. He is a rough and hearty man who eats big bowls of noodles, shouts loudly and scolds his mother. In the 21st century, he enjoys a peaceful life, fighting, chasing girls, drinking and wandering around. His life is very comfortable, even if he gets beaten by someone in the 21st century and Xiaoqi gets seriously injured, it's not a big deal.

  Li Yuanxing's hands were tightly pressed on the edge of the sandbox, his eyes staring fixedly at the sandbox with a reddish glow.

  It's a pity I didn't join the army back then, it's a pity I didn't study hard!

  If I came here from the 21st century, and still allowed the Turks to reach the foot of Chang'an City, and still allowed the Turks to establish an alliance on the Wei River, would my coming here have any meaning?

  "I refuse to accept this!" Li Yuanxing shouted loudly, throwing his head back.

  The soldiers in the big account stood up with their swords and knelt down: "I will die in battle!"

  Inside the grand tent, there were no ordinary soldiers, even the lowest rank was a low-level officer managing hundreds of men. They were all very clear about what was going on here, and General Li, who was called the God of War by the fallen Star Lord, was calculating something in front of the sand table.

  The Turks are coming, and the Turks will send a large army to rush to Chang'an City.

  This is a shame for the Great Tang army!

  The old wolf standing outside the big tent blocked Hei Tan Ge, and simply shook his head lightly.

  Wei Chigong cursed in a low voice: "Damn the Turks!" Wei Chigong was a fierce general, but not a wise one. He could handle local wars very well, but national wars were a big deal that required careful planning, which was a task for military strategists and great generals to exhaust their brains on, all he could do was just curse.

  He couldn't help but feel a little envious of Cheng Yaojin's carefree ways, robbing and killing was definitely more exciting than standing guard here.

  Li Yuanxing's camp was still not even fully walled, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive, every soldier was on high alert as if facing a great enemy. Even when resting, the qualified generals who knew some inside information were discussing in their own tents, although they knew that their discussions were meaningless, but no one wanted to stand by and do nothing.

  Unlike Li Yuan's suppressed and gloomy manor, the Qin Wang Fu was bustling with excitement.

  The King of Qin appeared as the Crown Prince, and Emperor Taishang Li Yuan had already abdicated. The grand ceremony was set for August 9th, a good day for ascension to the throne. So the women of the King of Qin's residence, as well as some noblewomen from the Li family, came here to offer congratulations and help with the preparations, also furthering their relationship with the Longsun clan, who would soon become the Empress.

  These women may not know that after Qin Wang ascended to the throne, there was a military disaster. They only knew about the wealth and glory of the Tang Dynasty, their rich lives and her status.

  A group of noblewomen sat together, eating fresh melons and fruits delivered by fast horses, chatting about family matters.

  Many people also intentionally or unintentionally fawned on Empress Longsun, the future empress.

  An old eunuch appeared at the door, standing with his head bowed and eyes downcast. He was observing whether it was a good time to enter and report. Changsun Shi beckoned him over: "What is it?"

  "Wolong's people came over and said they were thanking the princess for helping him choose a maid, and brought some gifts!"

  It was just two maidservants after all. Zhangsun's family only cared about this younger brother who looked extremely similar to Yuan Ba, and didn't take it seriously at all.

  Yang Fei smiled and said: "Your Highness says that the fifth brother is a star from heaven, so the gift must be extraordinary. Why don't you bring it out and let us take a look!"

  Yang Fei didn't have any malicious intentions, she just felt that Li Yuanxing's background was unclear and that Emperor Taizong of Tang trusted him too easily.

  Yang Fei was a princess of the previous dynasty, and she had seen countless treasures. She thought that if Li Yuanxing were to casually bring out some gifts, she would definitely advise Li Shimin to pay attention to this person.

  The rest of the noblewomen didn't have too many thoughts, as long as it didn't affect their family's status, what happened between the fifth brother and them had nothing to do with them. The matter of gifts was also not taken to heart, being royalty, there was nothing they hadn't seen before.

  The old eunuch waved his hand, indicating that the several soldiers carrying gifts should stand at the door.

  The Tang Dynasty did not advocate for kneeling, unless it was during sacrificial rituals or extremely important matters. Cheng Yaojin's single kneel in front of Li Yuanxing can be said to be a very heavy courtesy, and also had the meaning of forcing Li Yuanxing to come up with a solution.

  Seeing the box in the soldier's hand, the noblewomen became even more indifferent. Those boxes were too ordinary, but Yang Fei knew that they were the wooden boxes used by the Qin Wangfu to pack things for Li Yuanxing. So she took a glance at Changsun Shi, and after seeing Changsun Shi nod slightly, Yang Fei spoke up: "What kind of gift is it? Open it and take a look."

  The first soldier bowed and handed it over with both hands, and a maid took it and went in.

  The soldier behind said what Li Yuanxing had taught him: "Lang Jun said it was just an ordinary small mirror for the sister-in-law to play with!"

  "Xiao Shu has a heart!" Zhang Sun was thanking Li Yuanxing.

  When the box was opened, the first thing that came out was a mirror shaped like a fan, which shocked everyone in the room. The mirror is just more exquisite nowadays, but it's worth about 500 yuan. It has a stainless steel frame, one side is inlaid with artificial gemstones, and the other side is a float glass mirror. The most striking part is the handle, which has an artificial diamond the size of a pigeon egg.

  Synthetic diamonds can be said to be sold by weight in modern times.

  It can be placed in the Great Hall of Tang, but this artificial diamond with a folding light effect has dazzled the eyes of countless noble women, let alone that crystal clear glass mirror.

  All the noblewomen were shocked and stunned, including Princess Changsun who was about to become the empress.

  The maid holding the box was stunned, her hand loosened involuntarily, and the wooden box along with another mirror inside fell to the ground.

  Ah!

  Innumerable shrill cries came from inside the house, causing the jiao wei guarding the Qin Wang Fu to lead his troops in surrounding the house as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

  "You deserve to die!" The maid was so frightened that her soul flew away, and now she only wished for a quick death, fearing that she would suffer the fate of being beaten to death.

  The soldier who brought the gift was very calm: "Lang Jun said when he came, the small box mirror is made of fine steel, and it will not be damaged even if it falls from a height of several feet."
