Because of the sense of crisis of historical changes, after returning to the tent, I began to study military books attentively, hoping to get the attribute bonuses given by studying these books as soon as possible.
When Cheng Yu, Xun You, and Jia Xu opened Lu Yan's tent, they happened to see him studying hard.
The three of them had never seen such a diligent side of Lu Yan. They were all startled at first, and then Cheng Yu was the first to shout: "Ha! I've finally caught you! You look so lazy on weekdays, but you're hiding."
I’m studying hard secretly behind my back!”
Lu Yan didn't raise his head, and there was no change on his face, but he complained in his heart: "It's hard to find some elegance in reading and make progress, what the hell are you going to do?"
Seeing that Lu Yan seemed a little unhappy, Cheng Yu stopped teasing him. After all, if Lu Yan was angered and slapped him, his life would probably be decided here.
Cheng Yu saw that Lu Yan ignored the three of them and continued to read a book, so he laughed awkwardly and said proactively: "Haha... Changsheng, actually we have something important to ask you this time.
To help.”
Well, it seems that I can't read this book today. Lu Yan lamented in his heart: "It's not that I don't want to read the book, it's that others don't let me read it!"
With a sigh, Lu Yan finally put down the military book in his hand and asked, "Tell me, what do you need me to do?"
Cheng Yu looked at Xun You and Jia Xu and saw that the two of them had their mouths shut tightly, as if they were trying to communicate with each other, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Actually, it's like this..."
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Cheng Yu told Cao Cao that Lei Bo was dissatisfied with Yuan Shu, gave them the task of conquering Shouchun, and then recounted everything and the story of how they encountered communication difficulties after the discussion was completed.
.
After Lu Yan heard this, he was immediately surprised and said: "Duke Cao actually knows that Lei Bo is dissatisfied with Yuan Shu??"
From Lu Yan's tone, it seems like he already knew?
"Lu Qiaoqi, have you known about Lei Bo for a long time?" Xun You finally couldn't help but ask.
"Oh no, I don't know..." Lu Yan's tone was very calm, but after hearing this, Cheng Yu always had the urge to hit people.
Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Cheng Yu continued: "Chang Sheng, I know that you and Feng Xiao have a very powerful espionage organization... I wonder if you can pass the news to Lei Bo?"
"That's it..." After hearing this, Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded slightly and said, "There is indeed a way."
Cheng Yu's eyes widened and he blurted out in disbelief: "Ah! Do you really have one?"
Lu Yan stared at Cheng Yu with squinting eyes, and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Ha! Since you don't believe me, why are you coming to me?"
"No, no! I, Cheng Yu, have always trusted you the most!" Cheng Yu quickly showed a flattering smile and said.
"Then you went to Mr. Cao to report that Fengxiao and I skipped work?" Lu Yan took the opportunity to open up an old score.
"Um...that was all a few years ago, can we not mention it again..." It was obviously Lu Yan and Guo Jia's fault, so why did Cheng Yu want to find a crack in the ground to crawl in?
Shame?
After Xun You learned that Lu Yan did have a solution, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
After Lu Yan and Cheng Yu stopped bickering, he asked: "May I ask Lu Qiaoqi, how to implement your method? Do you need my cooperation?"
Lu Yan pushed Cheng Yu away with his face, looked at Xun You and Jia Xu, and replied mysteriously: "Write the message you want to convey to me, and I will send it to the city tonight.
"
Cheng Yu, Xun You, and Jia Xu were intrigued by Lu Yan's words. After hesitating for a long time, Cheng Yu finally asked: "Can we just watch?"
I thought that Lu Yan would reject it when it came to the shadow guard's secrets, but unexpectedly, Lu Yan simply replied: "Yes, but you can't tell what happened tonight."
Xun You and Jia Xu's eyes lit up, and they cupped their hands and said, "You must keep your mouth shut!"
In fact, Lu Yan was not afraid of them telling them, because even if they watched his operations, they would still not understand 100%.
"If you can understand the Morse code, I will take off my head and use it as a ball for you to kick!" Lu Yan looked at the three people who were a little excited, and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "If you are tortured by curiosity then,
If you can’t sleep, you can’t blame me, Mr. Lu!”
...
At midnight.
On the high ground about two miles west of Shouchun City, a paper lantern suddenly rose up!
"This thing can actually fly!" Cheng Yu's eyes almost popped out!
"What a magical thing? How does it fly?" Xun You seemed to have transformed into a curious baby.
Only Jia Xu was the calmest. After thinking for a moment, he asked: "Lu Qiuqi, may I ask if the ability of this thing to fly has something to do with the burning rosin on its tray?"
Lu Yan didn't expect Jia Xu to find the key so quickly, "Yes, Wen He really has an extraordinary eye."
"Why can burning pine resin make this lamp fly?" Jia Xu asked with his eyes shining brightly.
How to explain it to them? If you talk to them about air density, Archimedes' principle, etc., I'm afraid they will regard it as mental illness...
Lu Yan thought for a while, then he simply said: "If you want to know, you can go to Chenliu Workshop to find Lao Geng. These things were all tinkered with by them."
It was indeed Geng Liang and the others who did it, but it was Lu Yan who originally came up with the idea.
"Hmm... Changsheng, does this lamp have a name?" Cheng Yu asked again.
"Sky Lantern, this is the official name of the workshop."
"What a name!"
Sky lanterns are actually Kongming lanterns, they just have different names.
The raising of the sky lantern is just the first step. The purpose is to notify the shadow guards who keep watch every night that there is news to them!
The Shadow Guards internal regulations stipulate that the time to use sky lanterns to deliver messages will only be at Yinshi.
Therefore, at this time every night, there must be someone on duty to observe whether there is any fire in the sky.
Sure enough, before Lu Yan had to wait long, a sky lantern slowly rose in Shouchun City!
This is a notification to the outside world that they are ready to receive news!
It's just that the sky lantern on Lu Yan's side was held in his hand with a rope, but the sky lantern in the city was lifted into the sky at an unknown corner of the city, and then drifted to other places in the wind.
After seeing the sky lantern rising in the city and flying away, Lu Yan also let go of the rope, and then said to Cheng Yu: "Gongda, please help me light the fire behind me!"
"Here!" Xun You came behind a few people and lit a small but relatively high pile of firewood.
After the fire was lit, Lu Yan said to Cheng Yu: "Zhongde, come and stand in my position."
"Huh?" Cheng Yu didn't know why, but he still did it.
Lu Yan came to Cheng Yu, and after confirming the fire behind him, Cheng Yu and Shouchun City were in a straight line, he pulled Xun You and Jia Xu aside and said: "Zhongde, you are in good health, and you will follow my instructions later."
Do squats."
"Squat?" Cheng Yu was confused, "Changsheng, what are you going to do?"
"Just do as I say, remember, it must be accurate!"
"Okay!" Cheng Yu had no choice but to agree.
Originally, this was supposed to be done by Xia Houlan. Since you are curious, just be a tool man by the way...
Lu Yan unfolded Xun You's handwritten letter, read it through by firelight, and finally translated the content in his own vernacular.
"Zhongde, are you ready?" Lu Yan asked.
"alright!"
“Two slow squats!”
"Three slow squats!"
"Two fast squats, then one slow squat!"
...
Looking at Cheng Yu going up and down, Jia Xu was dumbfounded.
Xun You looked at the strange scene in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and he murmured: "Is this... dancing to the great god?"
