Chapter 317 The flame in Lao Li Tou's heart is burning
This was the first time that Colonel Wang had seen Long Yan in his life. Even though he had seen a man with real blood on the battlefield, he was extremely frightened at the moment and could only nod numbly.
"Is this something created by that boy Zhao Chen?" Li Shimin asked again.
"Yes...yes!" Captain Wang still nodded.
"Try the power of this sky-blasting cannon with me." Li Shimin handed the sky-blasting cannon to Captain Wang.
No matter how good Niu Jinda said in the memorial, it would not be as good as Li Shimin seeing it with his own eyes.
After all, in Li Shimin's view, Niu Jinda's memorial was really nonsense.
A sky-blasting cannon can kill dozens of enemies.
Moreover, even if the enemy injured by the Sky Boom Cannon survived at the time, there is no possibility of being rescued later.
Isn't this a joke?
Where in the world can there be such a powerful thing?
How dare Captain Wang disobey the emperor's orders?
He carefully held a sky-blasting cannon and walked far away. When he saw that Li Shimin wanted to follow him, he hurried up to stop him.
If the emperor was sent to heaven, then their whole family would have to go to heaven.
Li Shimin also stood at a distance to embarrass Colonel Wang, but did not cover his ears as Colonel Wang told him to do.
He is an emperor no matter what, and he has seen too many magical things.
I didn't realize how powerful a small jar could be.
Colonel Wang didn't dare to say anything, as long as he didn't hurt the emperor.
He took out the fire stick, lit the fuse of the sky-blasting cannon, and threw it towards the open space ahead.
Captain Wang seemed to have fled a long way away.
The eunuchs and maids around Li Shimin covered their mouths and chuckled, secretly thinking that the dignified military lieutenant colonel was actually less courageous than them.
He looked so embarrassed.
"boom--"
There was a loud noise, and everyone felt the ground they were standing on tremble violently.
The originally flat ground in front suddenly burst into dust several feet high, and then scattered on the ground.
But no one could hear the sound of soil falling to the ground.
Li Shimin only knew that he could not hear any sound, and he could only see the palace maids and eunuchs beside him talking with their mouths open.
It took a while before Li Shimin heard the sound.
As he slowly walked to the place where the explosion had just occurred, he saw a pit more than one foot wide and three feet deep suddenly appeared in front of him.
On the bluestone floor, only some powdery stones are visible at the moment.
Some sharp iron pieces were deeply embedded in the nearby bluestone.
"Hiss——" Li Shimin stood there and heard a gasp of cold air coming from behind him.
"Did that boy Zhao Chen really do this?" Li Shimin looked at Captain Wang with a solemn expression.
Li Shimin really didn't believe it at first. Niu Jinda said that it was only with these bottles that he could take Songzhou City.
After all, in this era, that city was not won by fighting with real swords and guns, fists and fists.
What can a small jar do?
But now, Li Shimin simply admitted his mistake. He just wanted to know that Zhao Chen really made this thing.
In fact, he himself knew that besides Zhao Chen, who could come up with these magical things?
He asked again just to confirm his inner joy.
"Reporting to your Majesty, it was indeed Zhao Chen who made these things, and the materials used to make these things were also found by the generals and soldiers." Wang Xiaowei said respectfully.
At this moment, he was not as scared as before.
The emperor is also a human being, otherwise why would he look so surprised just now?
"It's a divine thing. It's really a divine thing." Li Shimin sighed, his face instantly became solemn, he turned back to look at Wang Xiaowei and said: "Other than Zhao Chen, who else knows how to create this thing?"
Li Shimin asked very simply. Such a powerful thing must not be leaked at all.
Otherwise, the Tubo that was bombed in Songzhou might be the future of the Tang Dynasty.
This kind of thing must be held tightly in one's hands.
Well, of course, it's the same when held in Zhao Chen's hand.
What's mine is Zhao Chen's.
Others, not so!
"Reporting to Your Majesty, only Zhao Chen and a few dozen craftsmen know how to make this object. Niu Shuai has asked people to take care of them. There will definitely be no mistakes."
"Well, I understand. You go down first." Li Shimin nodded and waved Captain Wang to leave.
The cold wind howled, but Li Shimin didn't feel cold at all.
Looking at the somewhat ugly-looking sky-blasting cannon, a fire seemed to be burning in my heart.
…
Li Ruoshuang was awakened by another nightmare last night.
I dreamed that Zhao Chen's illness relapsed, that Tibetan soldiers rushed into Zhao Chen's camp, and that...
After waking up, I didn't dare to go back to sleep.
If you don't get a good rest at night, you won't have any energy during the day.
Only on the first day of the New Year, Li Ruoshuang went back to Duke Wei's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings to his father and mother.
From then on, I stayed in the new house.
Or go to the Wangyou Tavern and sit there all afternoon.
Whenever the sun sets and Li Ruoshuang goes back, she will glance at the city gate in the distance.
That direction is where Zhao Chen left.
That's where he should be coming back from.
It has been a long time since Chang'an City had seen the woman in red who chased and beat up a group of noble disciples.
Lying on the counter of the tavern, looking at the graffiti left by Zhao Chen in his spare time, Li Ruoshuang sighed heavily.
The news that Datang's attack on Songzhou was unsuccessful 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.
In the past, Li Ruoshuang would have risked her life to go to Songzhou, but Zhao Chen liked her to be obedient.
"Ruoshuang!" Hongfunu's voice came from the door.
"Mother, why are you here?" Li Ruoshuang raised her head and forced a smile with Hong Funu.
"If I don't come over, you'll be like a slut." Hongfu Nu complained and stood in front of Li Ruoshuang.
Li Ruoshuang smiled and said nothing.
This was not the first time that her mother, Hong Funu, had come here. Every time she persuaded Li Ruoshuang to go back.
"Today my mother has brought you a piece of news, do you want to hear it?" Hong Fu Girl said with a smile.
"If the mother wants to say something, the daughter will listen," Li Ruoshuang said nonchalantly.
"Why are you so reluctant? What if mother told you that this news is about Zhao Chen..."
"Zhao Chen? What's wrong with Zhao Chen? Mother, please tell me quickly." Li Ruoshuang's eyes lit up, and then she became a little panicked, and tightly grabbed Hong Funu's arm.
"There is news from the palace that that boy Zhao Chen has made great achievements in Songzhou..."
"What great achievements has he made? Could it be that he went to battle to kill the enemy? No, he has not recovered yet, how can he go to the battlefield?" Li Ruoshuang became anxious at once, and his face turned pale.
"No, the news coming from the palace is that that boy Zhao Chen has created something very powerful. I heard it is something that can be made in jars and jars."
"It's just these things that managed to capture Songzhou City, which my Tang Dynasty army failed to capture in two days."
"I heard that there were 200,000 Tibetan soldiers, but I scared away more than 100,000 of them."
"Niu Jinda's memorial for Zhao Chen has been submitted, and your father has also been summoned to the palace by His Majesty."
"That boy is very lucky. Nothing will happen to him. He will definitely be promoted when he comes back. He is worthy of you, girl."
Hongfu Nu explained everything she knew about Zhao Chen to Li Ruoshuang.
Finally, I didn't forget to give Zhao Chen a blow.
Although she also had a satisfied look on her face.
But people are always worried that Zhao Chen will treat his daughter badly.
Li Ruoshuang's face was full of joy at this moment, and she was even more happy when she heard her mother's clearly derogatory but actually praising words.
The worries of recent days suddenly disappeared at this moment.
"Mother, Zhao Chen... is he coming back soon?" Li Ruoshuang said slowly, as if she was just talking to herself.?
