Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 361 is this?

Driving across the wilderness, the mountains on both sides gradually faded out of sight, and the road became smoother.

It was the return journey, and the light and simple travel also allowed the horses to get on a lot faster. The ten people on the horses were all happy when they spoke.

"I would like to thank Li Canjun for this battle. He ran thousands of miles to attack the imperial capital. It can be said that he became famous in the first battle. He will definitely get a lot of rewards."

"That's not true. Li's feat of joining the army is even worse than that of Li Shuai back then. He can get a lot of gold, silver, and silk when he is appointed an official and a noble."

"Thinking about the hardships of the past, today is worth it. I am lucky to be under Li Canjun's command, and I am lucky for my life."

Subtle praise and gossip came from the whistling wind, Li Xian outlined a smile on his face, and turned his head sideways.

"I'm not that capable."

"Let's talk about it, when you return to the capital, what do you want to do with the rewarded gold and silver?"

The return journey is boring, coupled with the mood of returning home, it will inevitably make my heart a little anxious, but gossip can relieve this impatience, and toast that these journeys are no longer far away.

Hearing that Li Xian, who had never been in an official position, asked this question, and the ten riders beside him all scrambled to answer.

"If I can reward you with dozens of coins, I will repair the thatched hut at home so that the whole family can live in a house that does not leak. You don't have to be afraid of wind and rain in summer, and you don't have to be afraid of the westerly wind in winter..."

"Look at your worthless appearance. What kind of thatched hut are you still repairing? Buy a house in the village. It's bright and spacious. It's comfortable for a family to live in. How comfortable is it?"

"Hey, you're all okay, I'm going to marry a woman, give birth to a child, and let my parents hug their grandson as soon as possible..."

After starting this topic, there was a topic, and the discussion among the people gradually became intense.

Listening to the visions of the figures behind him about the future, Li Xian felt very fulfilled in his heart, and couldn't help but recall how the person in the palace is doing now.

……

Imperial City.

The urgent military report from [-] li was sent to the palace, and the black powder pot that took more than half an hour to be delivered from a hundred riders was quietly placed on the stone table in the back garden.

Accompanied by Gao Shilian and two guards, Li Shimin carefully examined this small matter.

The cool silver light from Xinghui fell on the concentrated face. Li Shimin became confused the longer he looked at it, and slowly raised his head to look at the scout standing quietly on the side of the corridor.

"This is it?"

"This can make the city collapse? Dozens of soldiers died on the spot?"

The scout glanced at the two-inch-long jar on the table, and became extremely uncertain at the moment, frowning and saying.

"This is the military order immediately issued by Li Canjun, and it was presented by the hundred knights under his command."

"It is said that many cans were used at that time, and some were buried by Jian Zhuo. This can was forgotten in a corner and was sent back by me."

"It must be...it must be right."

Gao Shilian also walked around the small black pot for two weeks, but he didn't find anything unusual after all, it was just that the hoops of these pots were tighter, and there was a pungent smell almost like sulfur stone.

"This... is this the so-called thing that can destroy the world? Is the top of Stone City broken by such things?"

"Come, come, cover up for His Majesty, how to use it."

The scout passed Stone City, saw the scene of the collapse of the city, and also saw the traces left by the dark red mottled blood, and was naturally horrified.

But in the face of Li Shimin's curiosity, the scouts were powerless, so they held the small black pot in their hands and took it out a foot away. They recalled the precautions Baiqi ordered at that time, and they could roughly deduce that this thing must not let the fuse catch fire, presumably The power to exert its power lies on this lead.

Tremblingly, he took the torch from the guard, the young cheeks against the moonlight were already dripping with cold sweat, and he frowned to make the two people who were looking around half a foot away retreat back.

"Your Majesty, be careful. Baiqi specially ordered this thing to be extremely domineering. You have to watch it from a far enough distance, otherwise accidents will inevitably happen."

"And... cover your ears as much as you can."

Li Shimin followed suit one by one, and then urged the scouts to perform.

Dazzling and brilliant sparks rose in the night, and the sound of sizzling was like a poisonous tongue uttering a letter, which made people feel hairy.

boom.

Before he could react, a loud bang exploded on the ground.

The dazzling fire like lightning flashed away, a large amount of white smoke rose in the air, and the mud and debris were like arrows shot out, splashing in all directions, and bouncing on the rolling roof pillars.

The shock came out the next moment, and Li Shimin's face was full of curiosity for an instant, and he turned to look stiffly at the place where the smoke and clouds rose, and the huge pothole was reflected on the turf.

Ahhh.

The maid in the front yard who was frightened by the loud noise couldn't help screaming. Amidst the rushing armor flickering, the guards rushed to the back garden with a knife in their hands, and there was a trace of unconcealable panic in their shouts. .

"There are assassins! Protect Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin ignored these noisy shouts at all, and walked straight around the trembling scouts, carefully moved his steps, and walked towards the grass.

As the steps approached, the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke in the dissipated cloud of smoke became stronger and stronger, and Li Shimin, who had experienced many battles, couldn't help feeling nervous.

What the hell is this?
Has such power?
Looking at the two-inch deep pothole that was blown out, Li Shimin gasped.

"This thing... is really too shocking..."

Using the moonlight to find some shiny and reflective things from the potholes, Li Shimin picked them up, and the iron residue with residual heat appeared in front of his eyes.

After watching for a moment, Li Shimin murmured.

"It's no wonder that there was a rustling sound like drizzle before. It turned out that these things were at work."

"Li Xian is really a genius, he can create such a powerful thing."

Tapping.

The hurried footsteps appeared in the back garden at the first moment, surrounded Li Shimin, Gao Shilian and others inside, and looked around vigilantly.

"Back off, make a false alarm, if such an attack really happens at this moment, you people are not strong enough to resist."

With a slight smile on his face, Li Shimin got up from the pit, threw the iron sheet in his hand into the pit, and patted the dirt stuck to his palm.

Looking at the peaceful backyard and hearing Li Shimin's inexplicable words, the guards looked at the pothole in front of Li Shimin and walked away with strange expressions.

After the soldiers left, Gao Shilian grabbed his sleeves and bowed to Li Shimin.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for finding such a destructive weapon against the enemy. Great Tang, the future can be expected."

Hahaha.

With his hands behind his back, Li Shimin slowly walked out of the grass, stepped on the stone floor, and laughed heartily.

"With such a powerful divine weapon, why worry that the Great Tang will not be able to subdue the world!"

Taking two steps forward slowly, Li Shimin said calmly with a smile on his face.

"Shen Guogong, this matter concerns the country..."

"It's about the country's most important weapon, I... don't let it out."

"Okay! You will supervise the construction of the ordnance factory outside the city, and let Li Xian handle the manufacturing matters for me..."
