Cangyun has been extremely busy these past few days.
I don't know what Feng Beichuan suddenly went crazy about, but he compiled a picture album and gave it to me to print a thousand copies, and he demanded that it be completed in three days.
The contents of the picture book also baffled Cangyun, as it described Li Chang'an's experiences in the military camp as a legendary tale of a female war goddess's rise to power.
The most outrageous thing is that all of these stories were fabricated by Feng Beichuan himself, yet they seem very believable, as if he had seen them with his own eyes.
Cangyun originally wanted to divide the work with Zhuque, but Zhuque claimed that as a bodyguard she had to protect her master's safety, and after some coercion and intimidation, the matter was dropped.
"Well done!"
Three days later, Feng Beichuan received a thousand printed copies of the picture album. He flipped through them casually, then patted Cangyun on the shoulder with satisfaction.
"Your Highness, could you please allow me to rest for a few days?"
Cangyun, sporting two panda eyes, looked utterly dejected.
He has been traveling between various rubbing points these past few days, from large rubbing shops to small workshops, and has been unable to eat or sleep properly day and night. Fortunately, he has successfully completed the task after his tireless efforts, and now he just wants to go to sleep.
"Let's wait a bit longer..."
Feng Beichuan looked somewhat troubled, smacked his lips and said tactfully, then patted Cangyun's shoulder reassuringly: "I'll have to trouble you for a few more days to send out all these booklets."
Cangyun was on the verge of tears, but could only distribute the picture albums to the people in the capital as quickly as possible, at the earnest request of his master.
In just a few days, Li Chang'an had become a prominent figure in the capital. The picture book was rich in illustrations and text, and could be understood by people of all ages. The story was also very vivid and realistic. The story of the female war goddess was even set to music by musicians and sung by singers.
Naturally, all of this was arranged intentionally by Feng Beichuan, since he wrote the lyrics for that song.
The combined effect was undeniable. Li Chang'an quickly became known as a remarkable woman among the people of the capital, and her achievements became a celebrated story. Those who had previously tried to smear her were also suppressed by the Regent's Palace and the Marquis of Anyang's Palace.
No one throws dirty water at the entrance of the General's Mansion anymore.
These days, Li Chang'an still tries to stay in the general's mansion as much as possible except when attending court. However, she has heard about the constantly changing situation outside. Even Deputy General Sun has been leading the soldiers in daily training at the villa.
In his words, only by training the army well could they live up to the image of General Chang'an in the hearts of the people.
That day, Li Chang'an was pruning flowers and plants in the courtyard.
In fact, she was not just a woman who only knew how to wield swords and spears. Back in the palace, she often tended to flowers and plants to pass the time. Although she hadn't touched them for three years, Li Chang'an didn't feel rusty and was enjoying herself in her own world.
"Chang'an, what a refined taste you have?"
Looking up, she saw the man looking at her with a smile in his eyes. He then put down the scissors and smiled faintly, "Just killing time."
Feng Beichuan didn't try to flatter Li Chang'an anymore, knowing full well that Li Chang'an never bought into that. So he cut straight to the point: "Last time at the villa in the suburbs, Your Highness didn't have enough fun before leaving. Why don't we go again today?"
Although he was asking a question, Feng Beichuan's tone carried a hint of refusal.
"You came here just to tell me this?"
Li Chang'an couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, feeling that this person's thought process was somewhat difficult for her to understand.
"Given my relationship with His Highness, isn't it only natural that we go out for entertainment together?"
Feng Beichuan retorted confidently.
This ambiguous reason left Li Chang'an speechless. After thinking about it, he decided to give it face as a business partner and agreed.
However, this time she was also careful. In order to avoid a repeat of the last situation, Li Chang'an made a three-point agreement with Feng Beichuan before leaving home.
"If you dare to act recklessly while riding a horse again this time, I will settle all the old scores with you!"
After saying that, Li Chang'an glanced at Feng Beichuan sideways, his face full of warning.
"Of course not, don't be so serious, we're not going to the execution ground."
Feng Beichuan quickly tried to lighten the mood by making excuses.
As the two rode their horses to the market, they smelled a delicious aroma wafting from somewhere in the distance.
"What is that?"
Feng Beichuan couldn't help but sniff again, and saw a crowd gathered in front of a shop in the distance. He turned to Li Chang'an and said, "Let's go see what delicious food it is?"
"good."
Li Chang'an nodded, because the aroma was so enticing that it piqued her curiosity.
When I arrived, I found it was a newly opened roast goose restaurant. The restaurant wasn't big, but the aroma of the roast goose was so enticing that it was packed with people inside and out.
"Would you like to try some?"
Feng Beichuan then looked at the woman beside him, and without waiting for her reply, he dismounted and joined the queue.
Originally, Li Chang'an was going to give up, since so many people were waiting and he didn't know when it would be their turn. But seeing that Feng Beichuan had already come down to line up, he had no choice but to come down and wait on the side.
"Young lady, take a look at this picture book!"
Just as she was getting bored, someone approached Li Chang'an and handed her a small booklet with a grin: "I see you're getting bored while you wait, this can help pass the time."
Li Chang'an frowned as she looked at the man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face in front of her. She felt that he didn't look like a decent person at all. Meanwhile, the man had forcibly stuffed the picture book into her hand.
After the man took the items out, he turned to leave, but Li Chang'an grabbed him.
After casually flipping through a few pages, Li Chang'an's expression darkened, and he immediately closed the booklet: "What kind of stories are in here? Could they be made up?"
Although he only glanced at it, Li Chang'an realized that things were not simple. The person described in the picture book was clearly himself!
"Of course, it's not made up. Take your time reading it. I have to go now!"
The man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face seemed flustered and tried to escape with a few perfunctory words, but Li Chang'an was not about to let him go and immediately took him into custody.
"Help! Someone's hitting me!"
Seeing that things were going badly, the man quickly shouted, and everyone's attention immediately turned to the two of them.
Feng Beichuan naturally heard the commotion, so he didn't bother queuing and quickly walked up to Li Chang'an. Looking at the struggling man, he couldn't help but look surprised.
"You'll see when you see it!"
Li Chang'an casually tossed the booklet over, his tone somewhat unpleasant.
After flipping through a few pages, Feng Beichuan's expression changed. He raised his hand, and Zhuque appeared from the shadows, taking the man who had naturally become a fish on the chopping block from Li Chang'an's hands and directly sealing his acupoints.
