"Wen Hao, I have sent you all the thermal generators and telegraph transceivers. Next, I will work hard for you to seize the time to assemble and debug, and try to get the thermal generators running in the next two days. There are still some things over there in the post house. I have to go back and deal with some things, and I will come over as soon as I finish handling the matters at the post house!"
Taiyuan, on Longshan Mountain, under the protection of Dugu Feiying and other forbidden troops, Li Tai and others finally transported all the equipment such as thermal generators to the Tongzi Temple on the top of the mountain. After all the equipment was properly placed, Li Tai Said to Meng Wenhao.
After they finalized the location of Longshan as a telegraph relay station in the morning, Meng Wenhao stayed in Longshan and was responsible for coordinating the preliminary preparations here. When Li Tai and the others arrived at Tongzi Temple again in the afternoon, the place had a completely new look. All the places that needed to be cleaned were cleaned, and the parts of the roof that needed to be repaired were also repaired.
The most important thing is that the Forbidden Army has completed a comprehensive defense up and down Longshan according to the terrain here. There are Forbidden Army spies hidden in all hidden corners such as in the ravine, behind the boulders, on the treetops, etc. The entire mountain peak is now like a mountain. With a strong iron barrel formation, even a great master like Wu Jie would not be able to sneak into Tongzi Temple from the bottom of the mountain silently.
In other words, unless there is a well-trained army with more than 5,000 people to attack the mountain at all costs, it is possible to capture the current Longshan. If a weaker team attacks the mountain rashly, it will only suffer heavy losses, because you You don’t know where there are traps or where the Forbidden Army is hiding in secret!
"Well, don't worry about things here. Although my experience in engineering projects is not as good as yours, these things are still not difficult for me! Besides, there are so many classmates to help me!"
Meng Wenhao nodded solemnly and agreed. Then, he looked at Li Tai and said seriously: "Qingque, you should be more careful in the city. We have all heard about the assassination of General Dugu. I suspect There is a group of people in Taiyuan City who specifically don’t want us to build a telegraph machine, and Qingque, you have a special status, so they will definitely try their best to attack you!"
At this time, a long time had passed since the assassination of Dugu Xin in the morning. Although Meng Wenhao and other students from Yanhuang Academy had been staying here since arriving at Longshan in the morning, they still heard about the assassination of Dugu Xin and were able to take the exam. Those who enter Yanhuang Academy are not stupid people. They know very well how dangerous the situation they are facing now, but even in this situation, no one wants to quit out of fear!
They are classmates, but now they are more like comrades-in-arms. They help each other in times of crisis, and can trust each other with their backs. This is the golden generation of Yanhuang Academy. In the future, when the Tang Dynasty defeats the Turks, they will surely be included in the history books. a place!
"With your words, Wenhao, I feel at ease!"
Li Tai smiled faintly, but his face was calm and calm, and said: "As for my safety, you don't have to worry. There are tens of thousands of Bingzhou Camp soldiers patrolling in the city now, and General Feiying and Tiedan will always be close to them. Protect me, it’s not that easy for those rats hiding in the dark to hurt me!
Our main task now is to build the telegraph relay station as soon as possible. The more those people don't want us to build it, the more we will not let them do it! If there is anything missing on Longshan Mountain next, just send someone down the mountain to inform Mr. Mo Chui, and he will prepare it for you! "
In fact, should we say that the little fat man is afraid of death? Of course I'm afraid, and I'm terribly afraid! Born in an imperial family, he has been well-fed and clothed since childhood, and has enjoyed endless wealth and splendor. Of course, Li Tai is reluctant to die! But in the more than a year since he entered Yanhuang Academy, he has learned that there is something called faith. Sometimes, in order to fulfill your faith, you can risk your life!
But having said that, with the entire city of Taiyuan now under martial law, and with Dugu Feiying and Tiedan's personal protection, and Li Junxian, the commander of the Hundred Cavalry, looking after him in the dark, Li Tai really doesn't worry about his own safety now.
"Well! Qingque, you are right! The more those people obstruct us, the more we will not let them get their wish, and we must build the telegraph relay station within a period of time!"
Meng Wenhao nodded heavily when he heard this.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Although they regarded each other as competitors when they were in the academy, now they are close comrades in arms, and they must work together to fight against "foreign enemies"!
"Okay! Then I'll go down the mountain first!"
Thinking of the fire in the south of the city when he arrived, and the assassin who was escorted back by Tiedan, Li Tai didn't plan to stay on the mountain any longer. He said goodbye to Meng Wenhao and went directly down the mountain with Dugu Feiying and other forbidden troops!
He wanted to return to the inn as soon as possible to see where the assassin came from!
… … … … … … …
"General, my subordinates used all kinds of punishments. This guy fainted five times from the pain, but he kept his mouth tight and didn't say a word from the beginning to the end!"
In a quiet room in the post house, the Imperial Guard Zhang Dafu bowed and clasped his fists to Dugu Xin who was half-reclining on the bed.
After Gongsun Liang treated Dugu Xin in the morning, it didn't take long for Dugu Xin to wake up from his coma. But he was too seriously injured, how could he recover so quickly? An hour ago, Tiedan was ordered by Dugu Feiying to personally escort the assassin caught in Nanxiang back to the post house. After hearing the news, Duguxin, who was still recovering from his injuries in the hospital bed, took the initiative to take over the important task of directing the interrogation.
Facing the assassin who intended to kill Li Tai, the Imperial Guards were not polite. Under Dugu Xin's order, all eighteen kinds of severe punishments were used on the assassin, but there was a prerequisite, that is, the assassin was not allowed to be killed. Get killed!
But what was unexpected was that after the torture, the assassin said nothing. Even the Imperial Guards couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that this guy is really tough!
Hearing this, there was not much surprise on Dugu Xin's face. He said calmly: "If the other party dares to send him to assassinate His Highness, it means that this person will not betray them easily! I will meet him in the past~!"
Zhang Dafu was shocked when he heard this, and quickly tried to dissuade him: "General, you must not do this! Doctor Gongsun told you before, he said that your injuries are too serious, and you must be well and recuperated for seven days, and you must not use force within these seven days, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted!"
Before Dugu Feiying left the post house in the afternoon, he repeatedly told them to take good care of Dugu Xin. How could Zhang Dafu dare to neglect them at this time.
Duguxin frowned and said, "I just went to take a look. Did I ever say that I was going to use force? Help me over quickly!"
Speaking of which, in his current state, even if he wanted to use force, he would be powerless!
"Uh, yes! General!"
Zhang Dafu hesitated for a moment, but seeing Dugu Xin's persistence, he finally had to agree.
