Chapter 317: The Flame in Old Li's Heart Is Burning
This is the first time in his life that Wang Xiaowei has seen Long Yan. Even if he has seen a man with true blood on the battlefield, he is so scared that he can only nod in a dull manner.
"Is this something that guy Zhao Chen made?" Li Shimin asked again.
"Yes...yes!" Captain Wang still nodded.
"Try the power of this sky-booming cannon with me." Li Shimin handed the sky-booming cannon to Captain Wang.
No matter how good Niu Jinda said in his memorial, he would not be as good as Li Shimin's experience with his own eyes.
After all, in Li Shimin's opinion, Niu Jinda's memorial is really a bit ridiculous.
One sky-bombing cannon can kill dozens of enemies.
Moreover, even if the enemy who was injured by the Sky Cannon was not dead at that time, there was no possibility of being rescued afterwards.
Isn't this a joke?
Where is such a powerful thing in the world?
How dare Captain Wang disobeyed the emperor's order?
He carefully held a sky-bombing cannon and walked far away. Seeing that Li Shimin wanted to follow him, he rushed up to stop him in a hurry.
If the emperor is sent to heaven, then their whole family will have to heaven.
Li Shimin also stood far away in order to make things difficult for Captain Wang, but he did not cover his ears as Captain Wang said.
No matter what you say, the emperor is, there are too many magical things he has seen.
I don’t think that a small jar can be so powerful.
Wang Xiaowei didn't dare to say anything else, as long as he didn't hurt the emperor.
He took out the fire stick, ignited the lead of the Sky Cannon, and threw it into the open space ahead.
Wang Jiawei ran away as if he had escaped.
The eunuchs and palace maids around Li Shimin covered their mouths and chuckled, and said intimately that the army captain was even less courageous than them.
He looks so embarrassed.
"boom--"
With a loud bang, everyone felt the standing ground trembling suddenly.
The originally flat ground in front suddenly burst out several feet high of dust, and then it fell on the ground.
But no one could hear the sound of the soil falling to the ground.
Li Shimin only knew that he could not hear any sound, and only saw the palace maid and eunuch beside him saying something with his mouth open.
It took a while before Li Shimin heard the voice.
When I slowly walked to the place where I had just exploded, I saw a pit more than ten feet wide and more than three feet deep suddenly appeared in front of me.
On the bluestone floor, only some powdery stones are seen at this moment.
Some sharp iron sheets were deeply embedded in the nearby bluestone.
"Hiss--" Li Shimin stood there and heard a sound of gasping in his breath from behind him.
"Is this thing really created by that boy Zhao Chen?" Li Shimin looked at Captain Wang with a serious expression.
At the beginning, Li Shimin really didn't believe it. Niu Jinda said that it was because of these bottles and jars that he took Songzhou City.
After all, in this era, that city was not taken by real swords and guns, and by the fight between flesh and blood.
What can a small jar do?
But now, Li Shimin admitted his mistake very simply. He just wanted to know that this thing was really made by Zhao Chen.
In fact, he himself knew that except Zhao Chen, who could have created these magical things?
He asked again, just to confirm his inner joy.
"Report to Your Majesty, it was indeed made by Zhao Chen. The materials used to make these things were also found by the last emperor and his soldiers." Wang Xiaowei said respectfully.
He was not as scared as before.
The emperor is also a human being, otherwise why would he look so surprised just now?
"The divine object is really a divine object." Li Shimin sighed a few times, his face became solemn, he turned around and looked at Wang Xiaowei and said, "Who else knows the method of creating this thing except Zhao Chen?"
Li Shimin asked very simply, such a powerful thing cannot be leaked at all.
Otherwise, the Tubo, which was bombed in Songzhou, might be the future of the Tang Dynasty.
This kind of thing must be held tightly in your own hands.
Well, of course, it is the same in Zhao Chen's hand.
My own is Zhao Chen's.
Others, no!
"Report to Your Majesty, this thing is only Zhao Chen, and there are a limited number of craftsmen who know how to make it. Niu Shuai has already asked someone to take care of them, so there will definitely be no mistakes."
"Well, I know, you go down first." Li Shimin nodded and waved his hand to let Captain Wang leave.
The cold wind whistled, and Li Shimin didn't feel cold at all.
Looking at the ugly sky-bombing cannon, there seemed to be a flame in my heart, burning wildly.
...
Li Ruoshuang was awakened by a nightmare last night.
I dreamed that Zhao Chen's agitation relapsed, that Tubo soldiers rushed into Zhao Chen's camp, that I dreamed of...
After waking up, I didn't dare to fall asleep again.
I didn’t have a good rest at night and I was in no energy during the day.
Only on the first day of the New Year, Li Ruoshuang returned to the Duke of Wei's Mansion to wish her father and mother a happy new year.
The days that followed were to stay in the new house.
Or take a seat at Wangyou Tavern for an afternoon.
Whenever the sun sets and Li Ruoshuang returns, he will look at the city gate in the distance.
In that direction, it is where Zhao Chen left.
He should have come back from there.
It has been a long time since I saw the woman in red who was chasing the children of nobles.
Lilying on the counter of the tavern and looking at the graffiti left by Zhao Chen in his spare time, Li Ruoshuang sighed heavily.
The news that the Tang Dynasty's unfavorable siege in Songzhou finally reached Li Ruoshuang's ears.
She didn't know what Zhao Chen was doing now, whether it was dangerous or not.
It was because she didn't know anything that she became more and more worried.
If it were in the past, Li Ruoshuang would go to Songzhou without hesitation, but Zhao Chen liked her to be obedient.
"Ruoshuang!" The voice of Hong Funn came from the door.
"Mother, why are you here?" Li Ruoshuang raised her head and squeezed out a smile with Hongfunn.
"I'm not here, you're a husband-seeking stone." Hong Funu complained and stood in front of Li Ruoshuang.
Li Ruoshuang smiled, but there was no follow-up.
This is not the first time that my mother, Hong Funu, has come here, and she always advises Li Ruoshuang to go back.
"Today my mother brings you a message, do you want to listen?" Hongfu Nu smiled.
"Mother wants to say it, but my daughter listens." Li Ruoshuang said indifferently.
"Why are you so reluctant? If your mother told you, the news is about Zhao Chen..."
"Zhao Chen? What's wrong with Zhao Chen? Mother, please tell me." Li Ruoshuang's eyes lit up, and then she was a little panicked, and she grabbed Hong Funn's arm tightly.
"There is news from the palace that Zhao Chen has made great contributions in Songzhou..."
"What great achievements did he make? Did he go to the battlefield to kill the enemy? No, his body has not been healed yet, how could he go to the battlefield?" Li Ruoshuang became anxious and his face turned pale.
"No, the news from the palace was that Zhao Chen had created a very powerful thing, and it was said that it was something from the jars and jars."
"It's just these things that have taken down Songzhou City, which my Tang army has not captured in two days."
"I heard that 200,000 Tubo soldiers were scared away by more than 100,000 at that time."
"Niu Jinda's memorial to Zhao Chen for the request of merit has been submitted, and your father has also summoned His Majesty to the palace."
"That kid is lucky and nothing is wrong. He will definitely be promoted again when he comes back. He is worthy of you."
Hongfu Nu explained what she knew about Zhao Chen to Li Ruoshuang.
Finally, I didn't forget to attack Zhao Chen.
Although she also showed a look of satisfaction on her face.
But I am a human being, I always worry that Zhao Chen treats his daughter badly.
Li Ruoshuang's face was full of joy at this moment. When she heard her mother's explicit criticism and praise, she felt extremely happy.
The worries that have been in recent days have suddenly disappeared at this moment.
