Chapter 9

The task was personally assigned by the director of the provincial museum. In exchange for a highly valuable 3D printer, the department responsible for Tang history managed to create the desired map in just one night. The printer started working continuously, ensuring that everything would be ready within two days.

Li Yuanxing continued his studies, enthusiastically learning about the early history of the Tang Dynasty.

Mr. Gui taught history not by memorizing dates but by discussing culture and society, truly using history as a mirror for analysis and research.

Three days later, at noon, four people with dark circles under their eyes loaded the items onto a BMW X5. Wang Wu was busy with the knives, Houzi had worked hard on the procurement, and the department head of the provincial museum had truly labored to create the sandbox. The most helpless was Liangzi, who, with a million yuan on his card, couldn't sleep at night, fearing someone would come to rob him.

As for the X5, Liangzi, claiming to be a college student, only asked for a car worth a few hundred thousand yuan, and gave the rest of the money to Wang Wu. Houzi also benefited a bit, with his car price reaching 530,000 yuan, buying a regular Mercedes-Benz.

"Continue your work. Take me to our forest. Don't come tonight; I've arranged to meet them tonight."

"Alright!" The three brothers responded in unison.

They bought some miscellaneous items at the supermarket, mostly food and drinks. Li Yuanxing was still not used to the food of the Tang Dynasty.

Dressed in Tang Dynasty attire, Li Yuanxing placed all the items beside him, with three saddles on his body and a knife at his side. The not-so-big sandbox was on his back, and the supermarket bags were replaced with a wooden box. The fire in front of him burned the packaging that did not belong to the Tang era, such as the paper boxes of wine and labels.

Li Yuanxing was half nervous and half excited.

The four-day limit was calculated by Li Yuanxing. He estimated that he would be in the Tang Dynasty for four days, more precisely, four days and three nights, with the last night being the night before returning to the modern era. Since he had already spent four days in the modern era, the fourth night was the time to return to the Tang Dynasty.

He was nervous about what would happen if his calculations were off.

He was nervous about the possibility of not being able to return to the Tang Dynasty.

His excitement came from hearing Mr. Gui's lectures on the history of the Tang Dynasty, especially the Weishui Alliance, which was a humiliating treaty for the Tang Empire. His brother Li Er should not have suffered such humiliation; Li Er should stand at the pinnacle of the world, a great emperor for all time.

Because of his nervousness and excitement, Li Yuanxing couldn't sleep.

Suddenly, the moonlight in the sky seemed much later, and an inexplicable drowsiness washed over him. Li Yuanxing was overjoyed!

Tang Dynasty, I, Li Yuanxing, am back.

Another morning, Li Yuanxing woke up but didn't dare to open his eyes. He was afraid that he was still in the modern era, afraid that he hadn't returned to the Tang Dynasty, and afraid that the items he brought couldn't be brought back.

The noisy sounds outside reached his ears, the sounds of craftsmen driving stakes.

Tang Dynasty, this is the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuanxing jumped up, excitedly looking around his body.

The saddles were still there, the wooden box was still there, the sandbox on his back was still there. The knife was still there, but one of the knives seemed to be broken, about two inches shorter than the other two. Li Yuanxing carefully examined the area, which was exactly one square meter. It seemed that the items he could bring back were limited to this one square meter, with a height of about two meters, which he calculated after noticing a small corner missing from the sandbox.

At this moment, Li Yuanxing looked around and saw that he was in a tent.

The wooden stake was still behind him, indicating that he had been tired, and Old Wolf had people set up the tent around him.

Pushing the curtain door open, Li Yuanxing shouted, "Old Wolf, where are you?" At this moment, Li Yuanxing's excitement was indescribable. This was the Tang Dynasty, and he was a part of it, recognized as Li Er's younger brother, the fifth brother of the great Emperor Li Shimin.

His strong confidence gave him a solid foundation.

Old Wolf came over, bowing to Li Yuanxing, "Young Master, you must have been tired from practicing with the knife yesterday!"

This sounded like a sarcastic remark, and Li Yuanxing felt his face turn red. He laughed and drew the knife that was two inches shorter from behind his back, "Old Wolf, a small gift."

Instantly, Old Wolf's eyes turned green.

Qin Qiong had tested the knife, breaking three ordinary soldiers' knives without any damage to Li Yuanxing's knife. He didn't test it against a high-quality saber, fearing it might damage the knife.

Another one, though the tip was clearly broken, was still a good knife.

Li Yuanxing saw clearly the surprise, excitement, regret, and then calm in Old Wolf's eyes. Old Wolf bowed again, "Young Master, this is too much. I can't accept it. Thank you, but I can't take the knife!"

The Tang people were too honest, so honest that Li Yuanxing couldn't accept it.

"Then, Old Wolf, can you help me with two things?" Li Yuanxing asked.

Old Wolf nodded suspiciously and followed Li Yuanxing into the tent. Li Yuanxing pulled over a saddle and said to Old Wolf, "Send this to Uncle Qin Qiong."

The word "uncle" was like stepping on Old Wolf's tail, and his eyes widened, "Young Master, the general is in his prime!"

"Alright, Big Brother Qin!" Li Yuanxing immediately corrected himself.

Old Wolf didn't say anything more, whistled, and two soldiers came over. Old Wolf told the two soldiers, "Wrap the items well. You can die, but you can't lose them. Only our general can open the package!"

"Yes!" The soldiers were soldiers, iron-blooded soldiers.

Old Wolf could see the extraordinary nature of the saddle, even though it was bought temporarily from a riding club and not custom-made.

The two soldiers carefully wrapped the saddle. As for the stirrups, which Old Wolf didn't recognize, he didn't ask.

While the soldiers were wrapping the saddle, Li Yuanxing smiled and asked Old Wolf, "Don't you want to know where these things came from?"

Old Wolf shook his head, "King Qin doesn't ask where you come from, and I won't ask where these things came from."

Li Yuanxing was delighted and joked, "I'll say these things came from the sky, do you believe it?"

Li Yuanxing was just joking, but Old Wolf looked him up and down and nodded forcefully, "I believe it, Young Master looks like you came from the sky!"

Li Yuanxing was speechless, not knowing what to say. He turned and rummaged through the wooden box, taking out a few items and placing them on the ground, "Send these to Big Brother Qin too."

As the soldiers wrapped the saddle, Li Yuanxing smiled and asked Old Wolf, "Don't you want to know where these things came from?"

Li Yuanxing was delighted and joked, "I'll say these things came from the sky, do you believe it?"
