Li Shimin smiled bitterly.

  But thinking of Li Ke, he still said: "Zhuqing, have you seen the prince recently? Except for a few days ago when the prince came to ask for peace, I have never seen the prince. Do you know what the prince is doing?"

  Fang Xuanling and the others shook their heads when they heard the words.

  Fang Xuanling said, "Report to Your Majesty, Wei Chen has never met His Highness."

  "Not even Wei Chen!"

  Cen Wenwen and Samurai Yu, the ministers who were friends with Li Ke, shook their heads.

  When Li Shimin saw this, his brows could not help but wrinkle: "You haven't seen him? Then what did he do? It's not because I didn't let him go with the army, and I'm angry with me, right?"

  "His Majesty……"

  At this time, Ma Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, suddenly stood up and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Wei Chen has met His Highness, and Wei Chen also knows where His Highness has been these days."

  "Oh? Where is Ke'er?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

  Ma Zhou said: "His Royal Highness has gone to the Chinese Academy of Sciences since the early morning of that day, and since then, except for the New Year's greetings to His Majesty and the Empress, he has never stepped out of the Chinese Academy of Sciences!"

  "In the Chinese Academy of Sciences? What are you doing there?" Li Shimin said.

  Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Is Ke'er urging the development of weapons such as artillery?"

  Li Shimin suddenly remembered that in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, there were powerful weapons such as explosives. At that time, Li Ke also said that the Chinese Academy of Sciences was working hard to develop weapons such as artillery and grenades. For the Tang Dynasty, it will be a great deed!

  If it is really successful, then Datang may not have the power to fight against the mighty Caliphate!

  It's just that Ma Zhou shook his head when he heard the words, he said: "Wei Chen went to the Chinese Academy of Sciences a few days ago, and I have met His Royal Highness the Prince. His Royal Highness did not care about the research and development of artillery and other weapons. According to His Royal Highness, those research and development only Those who can follow the steps must not be urged, otherwise, once the R&D personnel are not calm, it will only delay the R&D and even cause a catastrophe!"

  "It's not to urge the research and development of weapons, then he is?" Li Shimin couldn't help frowning. He couldn't understand what Li Ke was doing.

  Ma Zhou said: "Wei Chen doesn't know what His Royal Highness is doing, because His Royal Highness has guarded a large area of ​​the back mountain, and no one is allowed to approach, even the scientific researchers of the Chinese Academy of Sciences are strictly forbidden to approach, so Wei Chen does not Be clear about the specifics!"

  "However, Wei Chen has heard His Highness say one thing!"

  "What?" Li Shimin asked.

  Ma Zhou raised his head and looked at Li Shimin, and said, "His Royal Highness said that he will use the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals to show the great power of the Tang Dynasty and send the army to the west... [-] heads!"

  ……

  that night.

  Tibetan border.

  Thirty miles away from where the two armies were stationed, Pei Xingjian and his party finally stopped.

  Pei Xingjian looked around, and immediately took out the map, glanced at it, and said, "This is the place. The best location that His Royal Highness said is this place!"

  After speaking, he stood up directly, turned to look at the more than [-] soldiers who followed him, and said, "If you go here, you may not be able to come back. Do you regret it?"

  Hearing the words, the soldiers just smiled and said, "The little generals have never touched them before, and they don't even have any descendants. You are not afraid. We are afraid of hair?"

  "Haha, yes, dead here, but at least we have a son!"

  "And His Highness also said that even if we die, he will take care of our family for a hundred years, so be afraid of a bird!"

  "Little General, do you want us to find a girl for you, you save a seed first, and then we go all out?"

  The soldiers all burst into laughter.

  Everyone knows that the next thing is not a joke, and it is very likely that many people will not come back.

  But no one said the word of fear, no one showed cowardice, they just laughed loudly, as if they were traveling in the mountains and waters.

  Seeing this, Pei Xingjian spit out and scolded: "You can still be arrogant now, come back alive if you can, and when I grow up, I will take your daughter as a concubine, you wait, if you dare Die, snatch, I will also snatch your daughter back to warm it!"

  After he finished speaking, he waved his hand directly, his face suddenly turned cold, and said, "According to the plan, prepare, as soon as the hour passes, start!"

Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty-Fourth Generous to the National Disaster!I am the only man from Tang Dynasty!

  Hearing Pei Xingjian's words, the soldiers instantly restrained their hippie smiles.

  I saw that they didn't hesitate or hesitate at all, just lowered their heads without making a sound, and directly pulled the felt cloth from the carriage.

  The felt cloth was pulled down, and the things on the carriage were also exposed to everyone's sight.

  I saw that each carriage is loaded with different things. Some carriages are loaded with fuel, some are loaded with explosives in ceramic cans, and some are loaded with large ones, which look like big~ the same thing as a cloth bag.

  These soldiers did not say a word at this time, and all of them were very skillful in taking down the things on the carriage and quickly assembling them.

  All of these, they seem to have done it thousands of times, and they are extremely skilled.

  The cold wind blows, and the cold wind is even more violent on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

  When it was scraped on the body, it was as if it had been scraped by a knife, and it was hot and painful.

  It's just that among the two hundred or so soldiers, no one's expression changed in the slightest, and they didn't even frown, just like ghosts in the middle of the night, doing all this very quickly.

  Time, bit by bit.

  Slowly, the time is approaching.

  At this time, everyone finally completed the pre-assembly work, and they all stopped and stood straight to the side.

  I saw behind them, and what caught their eyes at this time were huge bulging cloth bags, and below the "cloth bags" was burning fuel, the fuel was packed in cylindrical objects and hung on the "cloth bag". Below the cloth bag", and further below, there is something like a basket fixed with a rope.

  That's right, what Pei Xingjian and others assembled is a hot air balloon that is very common in later generations!

  And these hot air balloons are also the first batch of things that Li Ke invented in the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

  At that time, when showing the research and development products of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to Li Shimin and others, Li Ke planned to use the hot air balloon as one of the products, but after careful consideration, the hot air balloon was finally replaced by explosives.

  But that doesn't mean that hot air balloons are really worse than dynamite.

  After all, God is the one that no one in this era dares to dream of.

  If there is a hot air balloon that can carry people into the sky, the impact on the entire world will definitely be enormous.

  It's just that compared to hot air balloons and explosives, it is obvious that explosives are more conducive to stabilizing the country, so Li Ke chose explosives.

  The hot air balloon was completely hidden by him and used as a secret weapon.

  Now is the time for this secret weapon to appear for the first time.

  Pei Xingjian looked at the soldiers with bright eyes, and said loudly, "His Royal Highness has selected a total of [-] of us, and personally trained me, eat, sleep and train with us, give us the best treatment, treat me Waiting for the best care from the family, I believe everyone is aware of His Highness's hope and kindness for us!"

  "So, I won't say anything more. How to repay the kindness of His Royal Highness, everyone has ideas in their hearts!"

  "All I have to say is-"

  Although Pei Xingjian is only seventeen years old, he has experienced several battles on the battlefield, and at this time he has already developed the style of a general.

  He looked at the crowd and said directly: "—If I fall from the air, no one is allowed to save me, and I must be killed immediately with explosives!"

  "And you, if anyone falls down the same, so do we!"

  He said coldly: "The hot air balloon is the secret weapon of the Tang Dynasty. It was developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences at a huge cost. During the experimental stage, several people died. It can be said that... all of us are stepping on our predecessors. This kind of technology must not be lost!"

  "We must not have our technology stolen by enemy countries, and we must not be allowed to obtain a complete hot air balloon. This statement applies to this general, you, and anyone!"

  "And we can't be captured alive by the enemy. We know too much. If we are caught, we will not trust you. If any secrets are leaked, it may have a huge impact on Datang, so ...Once it falls, you will surely die!"

  He looked around the crowd and said, "Now, Ben will give you the last chance. If anyone wants to quit now, Ben will allow it. We only have thirty hot air balloons, and five people in one is enough, so... We have [-] withdrawals, if you quit now, I will promise that you will not blame any of you, and His Royal Highness will not have any prejudice against you, you are still my elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!"

  "Now, give you ten breaths to consider!"

  After speaking, Pei Xingjian stopped making a sound, he just looked at the two hundred and fifteen soldiers in front of him calmly.

  The expressions of the two hundred and fifteen soldiers did not change at all when they heard Pei Xingjian's words.

  They just looked at Pei Xingjian calmly, and their faces were full of determination.

  "Little General, don't waste your time. Since we are here, we never thought of leaving alive!"

  At this moment, a soldier suddenly said.

  "That's right! His Royal Highness has a good saying, it's called - go to the national disaster with generosity. At that time, my blood was boiling. Now I finally have the opportunity to go to the national disaster with generosity. It's too late to be proud, how can I quit!"

  "There is a big scar on the head. As long as we can kill an enemy army, we will pay back our money. How many are earned! I don't have too many pursuits, as long as we don't lose money!"

  "That's right! Little General, I have written the suicide note, and the property has been distributed. Now I'm waiting to hit the road!"

  "Bah! What nonsense are you talking about? His Royal Highness regards us as treasures. His Highness has worked hard to train us just to make us die? You all say something auspicious. Although we are not afraid of death, we are not looking for death. To die or not to die!"

  "Hahaha, that's right! I am a Tang Dynasty man, not afraid of death, not afraid of death, but also not looking for death. If you want us to die, we must first see if they have the qualifications!"

  The soldiers burst into laughter, accompanied by the crackling sound of the burning fuel, the laughter seemed to be the most hearty movement in the world, resounding continuously!

  Hearing their words, Pei Xingjian couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of spit, and cursed, "Damn! You have lost all the momentum I have just accumulated, so you can't let me pretend to be smart!"

  He looked at the crowd and said, "Since no one quits, I won't say more. Whoever has a daughter, I will remember it, or that sentence, if you die, your daughter will be handed over to me, I will definitely Raise them for nothing!"

  After he finished speaking, he didn't give the soldiers a chance to speak again. He raised his head to look at the position of the moon, and immediately saw him wave his hand and said, "It's almost time, let's go!"

  "His Royal Highness has given us special training for [-] days, and I have widened my eyes to wake up. If anyone has a problem at a critical moment, your wife and I will also take him to be a wife!"

  Hearing the words, the officers and soldiers burst into laughter again.

  In this way, thirty hot air balloons, at this moment... finally slowly rose into the air.

  While the soldiers burst into laughter, they quickly left...

  And here, only the carriages without the goods are left, as if telling something...

  ……

  Child time has passed.

  The camp of the Arab Empire's Vanguard Army.

  This is a canyon-shaped area.

  On both sides are towering peaks, covered with snow, which no one can climb.

  Under the canyon is the barracks of the Arab Empire vanguard.

  Originally, the canyon was not suitable for military camps, but because the peaks on both sides were very high and extremely dangerous, they were sure that no one could climb up, and the roads on both sides were not wide, and the number of people who could enter and exit was limited, so here Instead, it became a perfect place to stay.

  …… 0 flowers 0 ……

  And more importantly, this place is very close to the border line of Datang, and you can even see the brightly lit scene on the border of Datang from here.
