Chapter 120 Birth, old age, sickness and death are common things
A tiger father has no dog daughter.
Li Jing felt comfortable applying this sentence to himself.
But he has never been able to figure out how Li Ruoshuang did it.
Because even Li Jing himself, with just a hundred men, would be absolutely impossible to capture such a city camp in one night!
"Father, please wait a moment. My daughter is going to get something to show to her father!" Li Ruoshuang said, turned around and ran to her room.
Li Jing looked at Li Ruoshuang's back and muttered a few words about Zhao Chen's name.
Not long after, Li Ruoshuang came over with the Eagle Claw flying crossbow that Zhao Chen designed for her.
"Father, it was this eagle-claw flying crossbow that made my daughter's magic weapon descend from the sky, catching the Tubo people by surprise!"
"This Eagle Claw Flying Crossbow was also made by Zhao Chen for his daughter!" Li Ruoshuang explained, not forgetting to tell Li Jing about Zhao Chen's contribution.
Li Jing's face twitched twice.
I was thinking about the precious girl I had raised for more than ten years. Why, after not seeing her for a few months, was all I could think about was someone else.
This little cotton-padded jacket I have is not considerate at all.
Li Jing was holding the Eagle Claw Flying Crossbow in his hand. He glanced at it and his eyes flashed with light.
As a veteran in the army, he naturally knew what this crossbow was about.
"It is indeed a fantastic idea. It uses a crossbow as its body and has chains inside. With its powerful explosive power, the chains can be shot out. It is really easy to climb mountains and ridges." Li Jing said slowly, with brilliant eyes.
After Tuyuhun was destroyed, the next most likely enemy of the Tang Dynasty was Tubo.
Although the war has not happened, as a general, you must always be prepared for war.
However, the peak of Tubo Mountain is dangerous and unlike other places, it can be easily attacked.
Li Jing once analyzed with many generals that if he wanted to capture Tubo, he must have equipment that could climb mountains and ridges.
Otherwise, the plateau would be a natural barrier blocking their way forward.
Now, there is this Eagle Claw Flying Crossbow.
What does it mean to climb mountains and cross peaks?
"Has the news about the Eagle Claw Flying Crossbow been blocked?" Li Jing looked at Li Ruoshuang.
If such a magical weapon was used against Tubo in the future, it would be a huge killer.
Maybe it's the key to deciding the outcome of the war.
"The Detachment of Women has been ordered to go down, and His Majesty has also issued a gag order. The remaining Eagle Claw Flying Crossbows are temporarily sealed in the Ministry of War. Zhao Chen gave them to me, so I kept them with me!" Li Ruoshuang nodded and said.
This was made by Zhao Chen himself, so it was naturally different from the others.
But when Li Jing heard these words, his heart trembled with anger.
He thought to himself that this little brat named Zhao Chen could actually deceive his precious daughter.
It's definitely not a good bird.
I will definitely deal with this kid properly later.
"Girl, what is that little pony stepping on?" Li Jing was about to go and take a look at Zhao Chen with Li Ruoshuang, when he lowered his head and saw something strange stepping on the little pony's feet.
It seemed to be a silver iron piece, still shining.
"Zhao Chen brought it to Xiaohong, saying it can protect the horse's hooves!" Li Ruoshuang frowned, not really understanding.
When Zhao Chen told her about this, she only focused on eating and didn't really listen.
Li Jing nodded, but didn't think much about it.
The wealthy people of the Tang Dynasty were extravagant and liked to add some decorations to their horses to show their status.
However, Li Jing thought in his heart that he must get rid of this thing later.
A bloody BMW, the only one who can match it is one with great military exploits!
"Girl, take the little pony and go with your father to meet Zhao Chen!" Li Jing waved his hand and said.
Li Ruoshuang nodded, and the two of them walked to Wangyou Tavern together.
…
When Li Jing saw Zhao Chen in the tavern, his face looked very much like Wei Zheng's when they saw Zhao Chen for the first time.
When Li Shimin was young, Li Jing assisted him.
How could he not be familiar with young Li Shimin?
The Zhao Chen in front of me is so similar to His Majesty the Emperor...
If Zhao Chen hadn't been named Zhao, Li Jing would have really thought that Zhao Chen was the emperor's illegitimate son living abroad.
"Girl, is this the Zhao Chen you're talking about?" Li Jing glanced at Li Ruoshuang, then looked back at Zhao Chen.
The look of surprise in his eyes could not be concealed for a moment.
Zhao Chen saw the look of surprise on Li Jing's face, and thought to himself that his handsome appearance was really desirable to everyone.
Even the famous military god Li Jing could not hide his shock.
When Zhao Chen heard Li Jing calling Li Ruoshuang, girl, and the people were greeting Li Jing in the west of the city today, he already guessed the identity of the person in front of him.
What surprised Zhao Chen Weiwei was that Li Jing was now very old.
But the whole person's spirit is very good.
The eyes are like squares, piercing and bright!
"Zhao Chen, this is my father!"
"Father, he is Zhao Chen who has helped me a lot!" Li Ruoshuang said to the two of them respectively.
When mentioning Zhao Chen, Li Ruoshuang specifically said that Zhao Chen helped her a lot.
I just hope that Li Jing will not embarrass Zhao Chen for his own sake.
"Junior Zhao Chen, I have met General Li!" Zhao Chen cupped his hands towards Li Jing and said with a smile.
Li Jing was a true minister of the Tang Dynasty. Without him, the frontier might not be what it was.
Furthermore, he is Li Ruoshuang's father. He and Li Ruoshuang are friends, so there is nothing wrong with saluting him.
"You are a gentle and elegant young man. It must be quite difficult for you to go out!" Li Jing nodded with a smile.
He didn't get as angry as Li Ruoshuang thought.
"Fortunately, Zhao Chen doesn't go out much on weekdays!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.
Li Jing's kindness also surprised Zhao Chen.
After all, Li Ruoshuang had been winking at him frequently just now.
He signaled not to anger Li Jing.
"The general just came back and came to Zhao Chen's place. The tavern is simple and there is no place to entertain people, so he had a cup of tea and rest!" Zhao Chen stretched out his hand to invite Li Jing and Li Ruoshuang to sit down.
Li Jing was kind to him, so Zhao Chen naturally treated his guests with courtesy.
After a few people sat down, Zhao Chen brought the tea set and made tea for the two of them.
The movements are skillful, like flowing clouds and flowing water, which is really beautiful.
Li Jing was slightly surprised. He had never seen someone who could make people feel more comfortable even by making tea.
This young man is really no ordinary person.
It's strange that this girl Ruoshuang would talk about Zhao Chen like this.
However, this Zhao Chen seems to be...
"Zhao Chen, Ruoshuang asked me to find a good doctor for you, but I'm sorry, but I found a lot of quack doctors. Your illness..." Li Jing hesitated.
He could also tell that Zhao Chen's breathing was slightly short of breath, which he thought was due to a gas problem.
But he asked many doctors, and everyone said that there was no cure for this qi disease.
It is a pity that such a young person should contract this disease.
Li Jing shook his head secretly.
"General Li is busy with military affairs, but he still remembers Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen thanked him."
"It's just a symptom of qi disease. I've gotten used to it after so many years."
"Birth, old age, illness and death are ordinary things!"
"General Li, Miss Ruoshuang, please have some tea!" Zhao Chen poured tea for the two of them, with a calm look on his face.
"You are so young, but you still see clearly. It's rare, it's rare!" Li Jing nodded and looked highly at Zhao Chen.
