Chapter 110: Crisis

As he was speaking, Ge Fushun came over in military uniform and smiled, and gave a big ceremony to worship. Ruizong followed the ceremony and asked him to flatten him, so he wanted to say a few words of encouragement. Li Longji asked in a deep voice: "Ge Fushun, how are you doing today?"

Ge Fushun was doing his best to do his best in today's events, and he said confidently: "Prince, please rest assured, I promise that there will be no mistakes!"

"Are you murdering?" Li Longji asked.

Ge Fushun smiled and said, "Crown Prince, how dare I kill you! Crown Prince, what do you mean?"

Li Longji looked stern and asked, "Smell it, what does it smell?"

Ge Fushun shrugged his nose disapproved, and the smile on his face remained unchanged: "There is nothing unusual. Ah, the smell of blood!"

As soon as he said it, Ruizong and Princess Taiping also smelled it, and their faces changed color: "Where does the smell of blood come from?"

No one can answer this question. Ge Fushun only felt dry hair in his throat and cold sweat suddenly oozing from his forehead. He could smell bloody smell from the air. There were many living creatures killed. If he killed someone, what would the consequences? At least he had killed dozens of people. Who had such a big deal? The consequences were too serious, and it would be impossible to be afraid of Ge Fushun.

Li Longji was very calm: "Go and check it now, you must find out."

Ge Fu responded and was about to run away. Li Longji reminded him: "Don't make a big fuss, the smaller the movement, the better."

Princess Taiping looked at Ge Fushun's back and looked at Li Longji again. She saw that Li Longji was calm and had nothing to do. Looking at Ruizong again, she was very surprised and knew something was wrong at first glance. The two father and son could tell at first glance that the difference between the two fathers and sons could be seen. Princess Taiping thought helplessly, how good would it be if Li Longji was not his opponent? It would be best if he was willing to surrender to himself and give advice for himself.

Shaking his head, Princess Taiping dispelled this unrealistic idea. In any case, Princess Taiping became increasingly unable to see through this nephew and became more and more shocked. Thinking about when he was young, her aunt loved him very much and often held him in her arms to tease her. Xiao Li Longji always had unexpected things that made her laugh.

Sometimes, even Wu Zetian couldn't stand it anymore and teased this smart grandson to play.

However, things in the world are unpredictable, and the beautiful past is gone forever. She is now a mortal enemy of Li Longji, a life-and-death political enemy. If this were in the past, it would have been absurd to think about it.

Ge Fushun knew the seriousness of this matter and took his men to patrol. A team of patrolling Longwu Army came towards him, saluting him and reporting all safety.

He wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death. There was a problem with the Longwu Army, which was so clumsy that he had no choice. While searching, Ge Fushun walked forward and soon came to the big tree. He pulled the reins and looked at the three fake Longwu Army and asked, "Is there anything unusual here?"

"Return to General, no!" A fake Dragon Martial Army hurriedly replied.

Ge Fushun frowned: "No? Your eyes have to be wide open. Even if a rabbit runs past, you will have to see it clearly for me."

"General, we just shot a pheasant!" A fake Dragon Martial Army soldier picked up a dead pheasant from the stone.

Ge Fushun held it in his hand, and it was still a little warm. He probably died shortly after he nodded and praised: "Not bad! You are so alert, you are worthy of being the Dragon Martial Army."

How could he know that these pheasants had prepared long ago and were used to cover up blood. If they were really beaten, the blood would definitely flow a lot, and it might not be cleaned up by cleaning alone. With pheasants, it would be easier to do. Put the arrow on the pheasant and walk around in those difficult places where it is difficult to clean up. If the chicken blood is dropped, you will not be afraid of checking it.

"General Xie praised!" The three dragon martial soldiers looked excited.

Ge Fushun was very satisfied with their performance, nodded and rode away on a horse. Until no one was seen, the three fake dragon martial soldiers laughed out loud: "This General Ge is such a stupid pig, so easy to deceive!"

After searching all the way, no clue was found. Instead, I found the extraordinary nature of the Dragon Martial Army. I was extremely alert. Even the small animals, rabbits and rats passed by, shot them and killed them.

There are many such dragon martial soldiers, more than ten or twenty groups. After more than a year of hard training, the result was finally achieved. Ge Fushun was very satisfied and relieved the original heart.

As soon as his mind was gone, Ge Fushun was very happy and went back to report. As soon as Ruizong saw him, he asked, "Ge Fushun, has the matter been found out? Is there any abnormal movement?"

Ge Fushun smiled and said, "Don't worry, yourselves, there is no abnormal movement. I have investigated all the way and found that the Dragon Martial Army shot and killed many birds and beasts, twenty or thirty, and the smell of blood should have come from here."

Ruizong said oh, very relieved, and smiled: "Ge Fushun, you have made great contributions to the Dragon Martial Army being so alert! Well, you have trained well in this soldier!"

Princess Taiping added with a smile: "Ge Fushun, it is rare that you are so loyal!"

Ge Fushun hurriedly said, "Thank you, the princess, I dare not take it!" He was so happy that he could not stop his life.

Li Longji said coldly: "Ge Fushun, you have been on the battlefield. You said, with such a strong smell of blood, is it just a dozen or twenty birds and beasts?"

Ge Fushun said helplessly: "Crown Prince, I also suspect that I just kept investigating it, but I really didn't find any problem, even a little bit."

Li Longji frowned and said, "You stand aside, you can't do this, you have to change someone else. You call him Shen Que." Gao Lishi responded and hurried to find Shen Que.

After a while, Shen Que, led by Gao Lishi, rushed over. Without waiting for him to salute, Li Longji asked, "Shen Que, just now the mountain wind blows, and there is a particularly strong smell of blood. Have you smelled it?"

Shen Que hurriedly replied: "Crown Prince, I have heard of it. I have checked it. This is the people nearby slaughtering pigs. Please rest assured." Without waiting for Li Longji to ask, he explained the reason first: "In recent days, some pig dealers have come to buy pork nearby, and the price is fair, so the people are willing to sell it to him. At the end of a day, dozens of pigs have to be killed. Today, forty or fifty pigs have been slaughtered from morning to now."

Forty or fifty pigs were killed. When the wind blew, the bloody smell was naturally much stronger. It was reasonable. Ge Fushun breathed a sigh of relief and finally had a reasonable explanation. This also proved that there was no problem with his Longwu Army and he didn't know how happy he was.

Ruizong smiled and said, "Sanlang, the matter is clear, you don't need to think too much."

Li Longji frowned and asked, "Shen Que, when did you think this pig harvesting happen?"

"Just the last two days." Shen Que replied in response: "I have learned that this is collected by the people from Chang'an Ouji Butcher Shop, there is no problem." Ouji Butcher Shop is a large butcher shop in Chang'an and accounts for a lot of share in Chang'an.

"Maybe this is a coincidence, I'm just suspicious." Li Longji thought to himself and nodded, "Chen Que, you can find out the whole story. You deserve to be a minister of the Tang Dynasty. Go back!"

Compared with the two sides, Chen Que is much smarter and more meticulous in his work, and Ge Fushun is a little ashamed in secret.

The Longwu Army has a large number, and Ge Fushun commanded it for more than a year, and it is impossible for every soldier to remember that even if he encounters these fake Longwu Army, he will not think about it in other ways. Besides, he is very confident in the Longwu Army and will never believe that anyone dares to put his ideas on the Longwu Army. Even if he tells him, he may not believe it.

The smell of blood made Ruizong really surprised. Now that things were clear, he felt relieved and smiled and said, "Let's go, get ready, take a look at the artillery."

Princess Jinxian searched around with her wonderful eyes, but there was no sign of the cannon. She asked, "Father, Chen Wanrong and the others did not come? Why didn't they see anyone?"

Ruizong laughed and teased her, "Golden Immortal, what do you think?"

"Father, where can I guess my daughter?" Princess Jinxian admitted defeat.

Ruizong hit Gao Gang, looked around, and said with a smile: "This Chen Wanrong is really amazing! Twenty cannons were hidden without any traces. It's really hard for him."

Princess Taiping commented with a smile: "The enemy will destroy such a powerful weapon with a cannon at all costs. Hiding is a way to save the cannon, and Wanrong will not be used."

"What my sister said makes sense. Wanrong said to me in this way." Ruizong smiled and said, "The day before yesterday, I summoned him to ask him about what he is doing today. He suggested that the cannons will not be exposed, but should be hidden. I thought at that time, how capable can Chen Wanrong, you can hide twenty cannons. When you meet them today, you know that he was not bragging, but really did it."

Princess Yuzhen muttered dissatisfiedly: "He will be mysterious!"

"Yuzhen, don't talk nonsense. This is the method of battle formation! That's how it should be!" Ruizong defended Chen Wanrong.

He glanced at the ministers, each with anticipation on his face, and was eager to see the cannon now. Ruizong smiled and said, "Dear ministers: I called you here today to show you the powerful weapon of the Tang Dynasty. I believe you already know that this weapon is called the cannon!"

"Architecture, artillery!" The ministers shouted excitedly.

Their excitement infected the common people, and they followed them to shout. For a moment, the cannons rushed to the sky and continued for a long time. Ruizong had great hope for the cannons, and he couldn't suppress his good mood, so he shouted a few times.

"Let's start!" Only when the roar was gone, Ruizong issued an order.

Li Longji waved his hand and a team of drummers began to beat the drums. The drum sounded like thunder, shaking the eardrums. This was the signal agreed with Chen Wanrong and the others. The drum sounded, which was the order to fire Chen Wanrong and the others.

However, after a round of drums, there was still no movement. Ruizong, who had always been unhurried, also began to be anxious and frowned and said, "What the hell is Chen Wanrong damaging? Why is there no movement?"

There are many people who have this idea. Who doesn’t think so?

Princess Jinxian comforted, "Father, don't be impatient. What he promised will definitely do. Father, look!" Princess Jinxian pointed anxiously to the front left, and saw bright fireballs appear in the air, dragging their long tails and flying straight towards the woods.

When the shells pass through the sky, they will be red even at night. It seems to be particularly eye-catching in broad daylight. So many shells appear in the air, which is very spectacular. In the eyes of the Tang people, this is a wonder. They all open their mouths, widen their eyes, and look at the shells that pass through the sky in surprise.

"There are also here!" Princess Taiping pointed to the front right. Almost a large number of shells appeared on the front right, flying towards the woods.

The shells fell into the woods, and bright fireballs appeared one after another, accompanied by a shocking explosion, like thunder, which made people's ears roar, and many people hurriedly covered their ears.

The sand flew away the stones and the trees fell over. The originally neat trees were already very messy. Two of them had fallen down with a bang, and more were the branches and leaves flying around.

Looking at the messy scene in front of you, everyone was shocked, no one spoke, no one praised, and no one was surprised.

Ruizong, Princess Taiping and Li Longji not only participated in the artillery test, but also fired artillery by himself, and already knew the artillery well. But he didn't expect that twenty artillery fired together and had such great power that he could not speak for a long time.

It was the neighing sound of war horses that woke them up. This was the first time that the war horses heard the explosion, and they were in a panic. Some were running away with their hooves, while others were in a panic. There were many horses equipped by the Dragon Martial Army. After this round of cannons, the chaotic scene was very spectacular, and the competition between the Dragon Martial Army and the War Horses was everywhere.

Fortunately, the Longwu Army still has a way to fight against the horses. After working hard, the scene was finally out of control.

Ruizong really couldn't imagine that the war horses were afraid of artillery, so he couldn't help but complain: "He didn't even say this Chen Wanrong, fortunately nothing happened!"

However, as soon as his complaints came, another row of bright shells appeared in the air and flew towards the woods. Another scene of fireballs flashing, sand flying, stones flying, trees falling over, and branches and leaves flying.

This time, the onlookers finally understood that they should give the vocal voice, "Okay, good fight!"

"Architecture, artillery, artillery of the Tang Dynasty!"

I don’t know who started shouting first: “Long live artillery, long live artillery!”

Long live is used exclusively by the emperor, and it is really unexpected that it is used for cannons. However, Ruizong was not only not angry, but instead shouted "Long live cannons".

Listening to the cheers soaring to the sky, more than 300 envoys were the most depressed. They could only hear the sound. They didn’t even know how the shells flew. How could they not be depressed?

Gesang knew that Ruizong built this cannon to deal with Shibao City, so he would be best to see the cannon with his own eyes and understand the use of the cannon. He could no longer help, so he stood up and squeezed to the side, intending to get out while the Dragon Martial Army was immersed in joy.

However, he made a mistake in his plan and just approached the crowd, he blocked the Longwu Army: "Please go back. If you walk forward, don't blame us for being rude."

Gesang smiled and said, "June, you are too worried, I won't go anywhere. Just take a look here, just take a look here."

He wanted to move forward a little first, then do it a little bit, and then go down little by little to achieve the goal. However, Longwu Army did not give him face and strode forward and stopped him: "Please respect yourself!"

Gesang was unwilling to accept it, but in front of Longwu Army, he had no choice but to retreat. Those envoys who had such thoughts had to give up their thoughts and stayed in this well to watch the sky!

It seemed as if shells were not worth it, bombardment after round, bombardment for nearly two hours before stopping. First, the shells fell towards the edge of the woods. After a while, the dust on the edge was renovated, and there were no standing trees. The artillery fire began to extend and bombard it inside.

Wait until the trees that were not standing here, then extend into it. In this way, after two hours, there was no living tree in the two radius of the woods.

Needless to say, this power is extremely great, beyond the imagination of the Tang people. There was another burst of surprise and admiration.

Just as the shocking awesome awesome, a group of dragon martial soldiers appeared in front of them, guarding a young man riding a blue horse and drove over. Princess Jinxian looked sharp and smiled, "He is here!"

Princess Yuzhen hurriedly said, "I have to ask him carefully, where is he hiding?"

"Wanrong is here, Wanrong is here!" Ruizong was extremely excited, took a big step, and trotted to meet him.

What a glory it would be for the emperor to welcome him in person. It would be impossible to receive such treatment without special merit. It was too much for Chen Wanrong to welcome him in person without the size of his merit. However, the ministers did not have this idea now. In their hearts, they agreed with Ruizong's actions and believed that this was a natural thing.

It is only a matter of time for the cannon to be so powerful. Even if Chen Wanrong does not make contributions, there are still countless people who make contributions. Why is it not impossible for Chen Wanrong, the first initiator, to enjoy such honor?
