After a day of hard work, Fang Zhengyi returned to the inn as usual.
It was not yet dark at this time, and the people below usually had to slack off until about eleven or twelve o'clock at night, and he usually got off work at four o'clock.
The two guards who accompanied him were guarding downstairs of the posthouse.
At this time on normal days, Sister Chu Qinghan should still be chatting with Linglong.
Chu Qinghan has rich experience and can talk about something different every day, and she can also teach some exquisite skills such as calligraphy and needlework.
Fang Zhengyi was not idle either. He came back every day with small gifts and snacks, and told stories to the three women, all of which were about women's self-reliance and self-improvement.
The more Linglong listens to it, the more she loves it, and she never gets tired of listening to it every day.
Sister Chu Qinghan also stared at him with sparkling eyes, full of curiosity and admiration.
However, this time Fang Zhengyi did not go back to his room directly, but went directly to Zhang Biao and Zhou Tie's room.
Inside the room, two people were doing push-ups, sweating profusely, while making various beast-like growls.
Seeing that it was almost over, Fang Zheng came and did not bother them any more. He sat at the table and waited for the two to finish.
"one thousand!"
After doing a thousand of them, Zhou Tie stood up. Zhang Biao did one more, looked at him with contempt, and continued to do them.
Zhou Tie wiped his sweat and said, "Master, why are you here?"
Fang Zheng said, "The hot air balloon is about to be delivered. I'm afraid Wutu can't wait any longer. I don't know when the war will start. I want to ask you."
Zhou Tie said without hesitation: "There is nothing to guess, the war will definitely start when winter comes?"
"Why? After the hot air balloon is built, they can start the war at any time. There are at least two months of winter." Fang Zhengyi asked.
Zhou Tie said: "Morale, according to their past experience, if they want to fight a desperate battle into winter, the best option is to wait until the end. And since they have waited so long to urge you, they must have chosen this time."
That makes sense!
Fang Zhengyi pondered for a moment and said, "I understand. Wutu and Paba will come back to check on the hot air balloon in three days. Then let Linglong leave the city."
Zhou Tie was surprised and asked, "Master, can she really go to Dajing so honestly?"
"How should I know? Let's talk tonight. Even if she is willing to go, there is nothing we can do since Paba is blocking us. We can only take a gamble." Fang Zheng spread his hands and said, "If we win, Da Jing will be well prepared and can defeat the enemy in one battle, and we can save many soldiers. We can return faster. If we lose... the battle will last longer, and we will be at greater risk, but there may be room for maneuver."
"What I am most worried about now is that if Wutu is defeated in the battle with firearms, he will immediately send people back to ask us to make gunpowder. If we cannot make it, we will take it out on the envoys. Then none of us will survive."
Zhou Tie frowned and said, "If it were me, I would definitely send someone back. What would we do then?"
Fang Zhengyi rubbed his brows and said, "Hey... Whether I can survive or not, it all depends on Ali Bai. I will try to give him a push when the time comes."
"Don't ask me now. I have a severe headache. Let's go back and continue practicing."
After returning to his room and standing at the door, Fang Zhengyi held the small gift he had just bought and rubbed his face.
He didn't open the door until he forced out a perfect smile.
As soon as the door opened, the three women's eyes immediately turned to Fang Zhengyi.
Linglong's eyes were so bright that they turned into crescents. She said happily, "Master Fang is back."
After such a long period of contact, she has now become very relaxed in front of Fang Zhengyi.
Fang Zhengyi smiled and nodded, then placed the small gift on the table and said, "I brought you some snacks, please eat."
The snacks were pushed in front of Linglong, who opened them openly and handed a piece to Fang Zhengyi first.
Fang Zhengyi ate some snacks and asked, "What story did I tell you yesterday?"
"Mulan, what are you going to talk about today?" Chu Qinghan asked expectantly.
"Um...."
What the hell is there to talk about? I've already emptied out all the stuff in my stomach. I've already talked about the magical Wonder Woman and the old lady with double crossbows.
If I continue, the only person left is the female investigator...I really can't make it up.
Fang Zheng thought for a while and changed the subject, "Hey, isn't there Goddess Festival in Beijing next month?"
What is Goddess Day?
Chu Qinghan was stunned for a moment, then nodded unconsciously: "Ah...yes, Goddess Day is here."
Chu Youyi held her cheek with her hand and looked at Fang Zhengyi with a half-smile.
Brother Fang is making up lies again, how interesting!
Linglong asked curiously: "What is Goddess Festival? Which goddess?"
Fang Zhengyi explained: "It's not about any particular goddess, it's a festival specifically for women. On Goddess Festival, all women will come out onto the streets."
"When women buy things on that day, all merchants will give discounts, with all items discounted from 50% off. Even if you don't have money, you can get a lot of things for free! This is Goddess Day. Doesn't the Kingdom of Jin have a similar festival?"
Linglong was so excited at first that she almost drooled, but when he asked her this, she immediately lowered her head, counting her fingers and said sullenly, "No..."
"No way, no way? Don't you allow women to celebrate festivals here?" Fang Zheng looked at Linglong in surprise.
Facing Fang Zheng's curious gaze, Linglong forced a smile and said self-deprecatingly, "No...no."
"Oh... that's such a pity. In our Dajing, a woman who doesn't celebrate Goddess Day is not considered a complete woman. Even three-year-old girls will go shopping on that day. The streets are full of lanterns and crowds of people. Everything is centered around women." Fang Zheng coaxed.
"Linglong, don't you want to go and take a look?"
"I want to go!" Linglong said without hesitation.
After more than twenty days of brainwashing, Dajing has become a beacon in her mind, a paradise for women, and the best country in the world.
If you don’t go there once in this life, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
On the other hand, Daikin...has basically become a synonym for the evil force that exploits women, and it makes you feel uncomfortable after working there for a day.
For many days and nights, Linglong tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, fantasizing about the happy life in Dajing.
But even if I want to go and can go...the distance is too far, a distance I dare not even think about in this lifetime.
"If you want to go, then go. It's not that difficult. After all, one of the soul and the body has to be on the road."
