The two parties were in a stalemate, and the buzz around them became louder.
Lu Zhengqing whispered to Hua Qingxue: "Invite them in first, and then send someone to invite the general back."
Hua Qingxue bit her lip, thought about it, and nodded.
The Prince of Daliao came to visit, and it would not be justified in any case if he was turned away.
Hua Qingxue whispered to Liang Wensheng and Su Shaowen beside her: "Go and pack our things."
Although receiving guests and studying teaching materials are two different places, there is no guarantee that these people will wander around after entering.
Liang Wensheng felt like a mirror and led Su Shaowen there immediately.
Hua Qingxue then slowly said to Xiao Han and Qi Lianzheng: "I don't know if you two are here. If you are not welcome from afar, please come in."
Xiao Han curled his lips and smiled, waving behind him: "Give me the flowers to move in!"
It turned out that these flowers were sent by him.
"With a beautiful woman, Mrs. Si Bing deserves the title!" Xiao Han smiled arrogantly, and as he stepped across the threshold, he said loudly, "Mrs. Si Bing, I am crazy about you. As long as you agree, I will marry you immediately. Princess! Why stay here and be that lowly concubine?! General Fu is so merciless!"
He said with a look of pity on his face.
Hua Qingxue was not good at dealing with such people and felt embarrassed.
Her blush turned into shyness in the eyes of the people around her.
When the gate of the other courtyard was closed again, people not only did not disperse, but gathered together and had a blast——
"It's over, it's over, Mrs. Si Bing is going to marry to Daliao!"
"Who would want to be a concubine when they can be a princess?! If the third prince succeeds to the throne in the future, Mrs. Si Bing will be the queen!"
"Then is this academy still running?"
"You are stupid! Everyone has married and gone to Daliao. Even if the college is completed, who will teach?"
"In the future, Daliao will also have those magic swords, magic bows, and sky-shaking thunder! How can we in Qi stop it?!"
"... Daqi is finished! It's finished!"
"The general is so confused!"
"Mrs. Si Bing is from Sirius, so she is a god! How can a god be a concubine?!"
"The general has let down his wife, Si Bing!"
The guard at the gate of the other courtyard couldn't stand listening anymore and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense! Our general and Si Bing's wife have already made an engagement, and they will get married as soon as the national mourning is over! Si Bing's wife will never go to Daliao!"
The crowd was quiet for a while, and then became even more excited!
"Mrs. Tan was entrusted by Mrs. Fu. Did Mrs. Fu want to take a concubine for the general?"
"Why is Mrs. Fu like this?!"
"I heard that Mrs. Fu has a niece..."
"Ah! Is she the woman who was rumored to be scorned by the general some time ago?"
"Since you have lost your reputation, you will become the general's concubine. Why should you compete with the commander's wife for the position of the head wife?"
“This woman is really stupid, she has long hair but short knowledge!…”
"Mrs. Fu is also an old fool..."
People nowadays have natural discrimination against women. They feel that since Cheng Wanmiao has lost her chastity, she should become a concubine. Otherwise, she is ignorant and has no self-awareness.
If Hua Qingxue knew what these people were talking about, she would definitely be very grateful to the down-and-out scholar, because the image he created in the comic strips has become so deified that when people mention Si Bing's wife, they ignore her gender.
…
Hua Qingxue entertained the third prince and Qi Liancheng in the front hall.
She chats well with Luo Muyu, and gets along well with Huan'er Xi'er, but she is not good at this kind of vigilant and probing social interactions, and can't even speak well in ancient literary scenes. Therefore, she speaks less. There is a lot of silence.
Most of the time, she responded with phrases like "um," "really," and "don't know."
As they came and went, the hall became a little quiet.
Xiao Han seemed to enjoy her restraint and uneasiness, with a joking smile always on his face.
Qi Liancheng was speechless throughout the whole process, sitting silently next to Xiao Han.
Whether it was Xiao Han's teasing or Qi Lianzheng's gloominess, Hua Qingxue was uneasy.
Huan'er refilled her tea.
"I heard that Mrs. Si Bing intends to establish a college of science, and there is a lot of discussion among the people. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to watch it?" Xiao Han asked with a smile.
Hua Qingxue was slightly stunned, but there was a feeling in her heart that this was indeed the case.
"Of course you can, but the college is still under construction, and some parts are not completed, so it's not worth seeing. If the third prince doesn't mind, you can come with me."
Her calm attitude made Xiao Han raise his eyebrows in surprise.
In fact, Hua Qingxue was not afraid of being stolen from them. Anyway, the knowledge was all in her head.
The group headed to the academy that was under construction.
The recent progress has been slow, and the craftsmen will not be allowed to start work in rainy, snowy, or windy weather to ensure safety.
Hua Qingxue led Xiao Han and others to walk slowly. At a glance, there was only chaos and desolation.
There are several ordinary-looking houses with bricks and wood stacked on the roadside, as well as flowers and trees. Some of them have been transplanted, leaving behind large pits that have not been filled in, and fallen branches and leaves.
Xiao Han was disappointed.
There was nothing here. To be precise, he couldn't see anything outstanding about this college.
After walking forward for a while, Xiao Han saw a large open space suddenly appearing in front of him. Workers were clearing large rocks in the open space and leveling the ground.
This open space is very large, even larger than the school field where troops are lined up in the military camp. But this is not a military camp, this is a college. What do you want with such a large open space
Xiao Han felt strange and asked Hua Qingxue.
Hua Qingxue said: "Oh, this is an activity field, a place used for flight tests."
"Test flight?" Xiao Han was startled by this word. He thought it was because he had not learned the Mandarin of Qi well, so he turned to ask Qi Lianzheng, "When she talks about flying, is it the flying one that flies into the sky?"
Qi Liancheng looked at Hua Qingxue suspiciously and replied: "... I guess so."
Xiao Han couldn't believe it, "What kind of test flight? Can you make people fly into the sky?"
Since she created such a big place, there is no way she was trying to fly some pigeons or birds...
Hua Qingxue nodded honestly, "Theoretically it can be done."
"This is impossible!" Xiao Han thought this was too ridiculous.
Even though Hua Qingxue once made a sky-shattering thunder that made Daliao flinch, but that thing was based on fireworks after all!
People have never seen thunder, but they have seen fireworks and firecrackers. They know what explosions are like, but - let people fly into the sky
This is simply impossible!
I can’t even imagine it!
Could it be that Hua Qingxue is really a god and can walk on clouds? !
"Madam, please don't lie to me." Xiao Han looked at Hua Qingxue for a moment, his eyes scrutinizing, "What Madam said is too unbelievable."
Hua Qingxue remained upright: "I'm just saying that it can be done in theory."
She smiled slightly and explained: "There will be various problems in actual operation. If your Highness is interested, you can stay and wait until the day of the test flight to take a look."
Xiao Han asked: "When will the test flight take place?"
Hua Qingxue looked at the sky, "Hmm... I guess we have to wait until spring. The weather is too cold and the wind is too strong now."
Xiao Han's face immediately darkened.
He felt that Hua Qingxue was playing tricks on him.
Spring is still three months away! And he should leave for Daliao at the end of this month. How can he wait for the test flight? !
At this time, Hua Qingxue said to herself: "It doesn't matter if you can't fly. If you do other experiments in the future, you will inevitably need an open space."
It seemed as if the test flight experiment just mentioned was just her temporary hard work and could not be taken seriously at all!
Xiao Han didn’t even know how to react!
Is this Si Bing's wife innocent and simple, or is she deliberately teasing him? !
I walked around and found nothing. The only information I got was that there was an open space where test flight experiments might be conducted.
Xiao Han didn't see Hua Qingxue's real talent and was a little unwilling.
In fact, the statement that Hua Qingxue was a smoke bomb set up by Fu Tingye was not only circulated in Daqi, but also in Daliao.
Therefore, his other mission to Daqi this time was actually to test the authenticity of Si Bing's wife.
If it is a smoke bomb, we need to find out who is behind the production of the weapon.
If it weren't for smoke bombs... Such beauties would naturally be gathered into his hands. Otherwise, wouldn't he just sit back and watch the rise of Daqi
Qi Liancheng once spied on the Qingzhou camp. According to him, Hua Qingxue was probably the one who developed those weapons, but she was too young and didn't seem to have any scheming in her words. If Xiao Han couldn't witness it with his own eyes. , it’s always hard to convince.
Xiao Han wanted to test Hua Qingxue further.
He said: "I am amazed by Mrs. Si Bing's fantastic ideas. It's a pity that I can't see Mrs. Si Bing's extraordinary power with my own eyes."
Hua Qingxue was a little confused and asked: "When we were in Panshui, every month we would go to Panlong Mountain to test the thunder of thunder. Didn't you see it?"
Xiao Han choked on a mouthful of old blood and almost spit it out!
He wondered if Hua Qingxue was angry with him on purpose!
The reason why Daliao has been invincible over the years is because they have fearsome cavalry!
But Zhentian Lei can defeat their cavalry! The power of the explosion would not only penetrate the armor, but the loud noise would even disturb the horses! There is no way to direct the battle!
What’s even more irritating is that they even blew it up in Panlong Mountain and actually sold it to Nanzhao Kingdom!
Even though Nanzhao's military strength is weak, with these thunderous thunders, if Daliao wants to capture Nanzhao, it will have to pay a high price, and the gain outweighs the loss!
Otherwise, they would not have compromised so much. Not only did they retreat, they even took the initiative to negotiate peace with Daqi!
To put it nicely, it is for the sake of the people living and working in peace and contentment. To put it badly, it means giving in!
Xiao Han smiled ugly, "I have lived in the Imperial City for a long time, and I have heard about the power of thunder, but I have never seen it with my own eyes."
Hua Qingxue smiled naturally, "Your Highness, you can ask the general to take you to see it. The general is currently training a group of soldiers from Shengjing, specializing in firearms."
Xiao Han couldn't continue the conversation, so he laughed dryly and said: "If there is a chance... I will definitely go and see it."
There was nothing to see here at the academy, and the group prepared to return the way they came.
Suddenly a group of people came from the front! Coming towards you!
Fu Tingye was walking in the front, his black coat flying in the wind, which made him even more heroic and impressive!
Hua Qingxue smiled as soon as she saw him and greeted him happily, "The general is here."
