Li Shimin

Chapter 833

"Wei Chen sees His Majesty!"

"I have seen His Royal Highness!"

Afterwards, after a group of people met each other and finished their salutes.

Li Chengqian, Fang Yizhi and the others looked at Li Shimin and the others curiously.

Why are His Majesty the Tang Dynasty and the most powerful princes of the Tang Dynasty besieging the forge in the Master's Manor?

Noticing the curious eyes of these little bastards, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and the others turned dark again.

"Why did you come to Lijiazhuang?"

"Return to father, my son will go to Weinan County to take a post in two days, and I am here today to ask Uncle Wang to resign!"

Li Chengqian replied.

"Ok!"

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

"Father and all of you..."

Li Chengqian didn't finish his question.

In the forge, a word of "the bomb is coming" came out!

Before Li Chengqian, Fang Yizhi and others could react, they saw Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others quickly turned around and looked into the forge with excited faces.

Then, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others took the wooden box directly from the Letai and others who came out, holding a wooden box each!

"bomb?"

After seeing the words on the wooden box, Li Chengqian, Fang Yizhi and the others couldn't help but change their expressions, and subconsciously took two steps back!
"Humph!"

Noticing the small movements of Li Chengqian and the others, Li Shimin snorted softly.

"It's just a few bombs, why are you hiding? Why don't you come here and give me a hug?"

"Yes, Ayer!"

Li Chengqian, Fang Yizhi and the others laughed subconsciously before they stepped forward and took the bomb from Li Shimin's hands.

And this time, Letai, Li Yuanjia and others can finally walk out of the forge.

Seeing this scene, the complexions of the Mohists changed again.

"Your Majesty, how can this kind of bomb tire His Highness the Crown Prince? It's better for me and the others to carry it!"

Saying that, Letai and a group of mohists hurried up to Li Chengqian and the others, wanting to take the bomb.

Li Chengqian also quickly looked at Li Shimin, but he didn't let go.

Without Li Shimin's order, they would not have dared to hand the bomb in their hands to Le Tai and others.

Although, these bombs were handed to Li Shimin and others by Le Tai and others just now.

"There's no need for that!"

Li Shimin said quietly.

There was a bitter look in the eyes of the band members.

"Your Majesty, are you going to set off a cannon?"

At this time, Li Chenglu came out from nowhere, staring at the bomb in the hands of Li Chengqian and the others with curiosity on his face, and there was a faint desire, and Li Chengqian and the others couldn't help but tighten up again.

"Exactly!"

Li Shimin was also taken aback, but after thinking that this was Li's Village, he responded with a gentle face.

"Little Chenglu also knows about artillery?"

"Two days ago, His Majesty, Aye and others were firing cannons on the back mountain. Everyone in the village knew about the loud noise. Lu'er also wanted to go up and set off cannons, but Uncle Zheng and others were guarding the bottom of the mountain, so Lu'er couldn't go up!"

Li Chenglu replied seriously: "Uncle Your Majesty is going to set off the cannon again this time, can you bring Lu'er with you, Lu'er also wants to see the appearance and power of the cannon!"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian, Fang Yizhi and others tightened their hands and took Li Chenglu to set off the cannon?
Also, what is the artillery?
Li Shimin was also shocked, and took this kid Li Chenglu to set off the cannon?
What if Xuan Ba ​​knew?Isn't that...

Ok?
Suddenly, Li Shimin thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said to Li Chenglu: "Chenglu, I'm going to go to the back mountain to set off a cannon, so naturally I will inform you, Aye. Do you want to go to the courtyard first, and call you Aye, I will Wait to go together?"

"That's right! I want to go to the back mountain to set off cannons, but Aye disagrees. How can we go up there!"

Li Chenglu nodded thoughtfully with his small head, and said hastily: "Don't worry, Uncle Your Majesty, Lu'er will go to Aye right away!"

After finishing speaking, he kicked his calf and quickly ran to the Jinwang Bieyuan in the distance.

However, Li Xuan, who had already received the report, had also left the other courtyard.

Therefore, just after Li Chenglu ran two steps, he threw himself directly on Li Xuan.

"Aye, Aye, Your Majesty is calling you to go up the mountain and set off cannons!"

"I see!"

Li Xuan reached out and rubbed Li Chenglu's head a few times, and when Li Chenglu was calm, he said, "It's a hot day, why are you running so fast? Go back to the house and find your mother to rest!"

"..."

Li Chenglu's face collapsed!
For a long while, I didn't move!

"Ok?"

Li Xuan felt something was wrong, lowered his head and asked, "Lu'er, do you have other things?"

"Aye, Lu'er has never fired a cannon before, and Lu'er also wants to follow Aye to the back mountain to set off a cannon!"

Li Chenglu said expectantly.

"You want to go too?"

Li Xuan subconsciously lowered his head and looked at Li Chenglu, just in time to meet Li Chenglu's little eyes full of longing.

"That's right!" Li Chenglu responded quickly.

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but slightly frowned.

Shooting cannons is not a safe thing to do!

However, if you don't take this kid...

"can!"

Thinking about it, Li Xuan nodded directly.

"Thank you Aye!"

Li Chenglu was overjoyed.

Li Xuan said again: "However, I have a request!"

"Aye, please tell me!"

Li Chenglu said quickly.

"Firing cannons is very dangerous. You must stand by my side at all times. You are not allowed to run around, and you are not allowed to touch artillery and bombs indiscriminately!"

Li Xuan said with a serious face.

"Don't worry, Aye, Lu'er will definitely listen to you!"

Now, hearing that Li Xuan agreed to take him to set off cannons, Li Chenglu's head was like a chicken pecking at rice, and he couldn't stop clicking.

"In addition, at any time from now on, you are not allowed to fire cannons or touch artillery or bombs without permission!" Li Xuan said again.

"Lu'er will never touch artillery and bombs privately!"

Li Chenglu nodded quickly.

"Very good!"

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction, then looked forward.

Just in time, Li Shimin had brought Cheng Zhijie, Changsun Wuji and others over.

Behind him, Li Chengqian, Yuchi Baolin and others were holding two boxes of bombs.

But Yue Tai and other Mohist rulers followed behind a group of people with fear on their faces.

"Your Majesty, is this?"

Seeing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Hmph, these little bastards happen to have nothing to do, so let them carry the bomb for me!" Li Shimin snorted coldly.

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then asked again: "Just, why did His Majesty move so many bombs?"

"It's for firing the cannon!"

Li Shimin replied.

"Then it won't take so many bombs!" Li Xuan said.

"Xuanba, I'm waiting for a box of bombs for each person, and today I just have a lot of fun!" Li Shimin explained.

"However, Your Majesty, after releasing at most three bombs at a time, the steel tube of the artillery will be scalded and needs to be rested for a quarter of an hour. With so many boxes of bombs, I'm afraid they won't be able to release them all in the dark!"

Li Xuan said slowly.

"..."

Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others couldn't help being taken aback.

After thinking for a while, Li Shimin glanced at Yuchi Baolin, Li Chengqian and the others again, and said softly, "It's okay, you can put as much as you can!"

"If so, then follow His Majesty's will!"

I don't know why these little bastards have offended His Majesty.

It's none of your business, but Li Xuan didn't force it.

However, Letai and the moxie practitioners shouldn't suffer this crime by following these little bastards.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Xuan said to Letai and other ink curers: "Letai, the weather is still so hot, you can go to the ice workshop, bring a few buckets of ice cubes, and then bring more than a dozen bottles Cold ale!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

A few people on the music platform looked happy and responded quickly.

Finally, they don't have to follow His Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince, and others in such fear!
"His Royal Highness, can you bring me a few more bottles of ale, I, Old Cheng, can drink ten bottles alone!"

On the side, Cheng Zhijie said with a sneer.

"can!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then told Zheng Fu, who was following closely beside him: "Send a few soldiers and bring forty bottles of beer directly! Then, send another team of soldiers to guard the back mountain. The farmers are approaching the back mountain!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zheng Fu responded and walked down quickly.

After everything is arranged properly.

Li Xuan, Li Shimin and others went to the back mountain.

When Li Shimin, Li Xuan and others reached the top of the mountain, Letai, Li Yuanjia, and Zheng Fu and others also followed.

Six barrels of steaming ice, and forty bottles of ale, were piled directly under the shade of a big tree.

"Is this the artillery?"

After stacking more than ten boxes of bombs under a big tree, Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others were all attracted by the artillery assembled by Le Tai and others!

Because the original intention of designing the artillery was to be mounted on a steel ship.

Therefore, the artillery is a huge and heavy barrel, plus two brackets, and two heavy bases.

"Return to Your Highness, this thing is a cannon!"

Le Tai quickly replied.

Saying that, the music platform quickly retreated to the side.

At this moment, Li Shimin had already walked towards the cannon with a bomb in his hand.

Seeing this, Li Xuan, Li Xiaogong and others couldn't help but look solemn, and looked at Li Shimin quietly.

Although Li Shimin only released one bomb two days ago, his movements were very skillful.

After some inspection, the bomb was carefully put into the base, then the fuse was installed, and the fuse was ignited.

With a loud 'boom', Li Chengqian and others saw a puff of blue smoke coming out of the cannon barrel, and then there was nothing!
Several people hurriedly stepped on their feet and looked around.

It's just that no matter how you look at it, you can't see the location of the explosion.

"Aye..."

Just as they were about to ask, they turned their heads and saw that Aye and the others were looking into the distance with a clairvoyance.

clairvoyance?
Thinking of something, a hint of disbelief flashed in the eyes of Li Chengqian and the others, and they quickly took out their clairvoyance, and looked in the direction that Aye and the others were looking at!
The first hill is gone!
The second hill is also safe and sound!
The third hill...

"hiss……"

Seeing the huge crater that hadn't cleared away the smoke and dust, Li Chengqian, Fang Yizhi and the others immediately widened their eyes and their faces were full of shock.

"It's so far away?"

"It's so far, it must be a thousand steps?"

"Such a big hole, if it blows up on the city wall..."

Saying that, Li Chengqian and Changsun Chong couldn't help looking at the cannon in the distance, their eyes sparkling.

However, this time Li Shimin ignored Li Chengqian and others, walked to the cannon again, and moved the cannon back to its original position with the help of the bandstand.

Then open the base of the cannon again, clean up the remaining burning material inside, reload the fuse and bomb, reach out to aim, and ignite!

Pull up your legs and run away.

"boom!"

On the hilltop in the distance, a puff of smoke rose again.

Li Chengqian, Changsun Chong and the others quickly raised their clairvoyant eyes to look.

Li Shimin walked towards the cannon again...

"boom!"

Li Shimin, Li Xuan and others all looked into the distance again.

However, what surprised Li Chengqian and others was that this time Li Shimin didn't set off the cannon, but went directly to the shade of the tree, picked up a bottle of ale, and drank it.

"Carpenter Mohou, how long do we have to wait for this cannon?"

Cheng Zhijie looked impatient and asked towards the stage.

"Back to Su Guogong, in order to prevent the shell from exploding inside the barrel, at least you need to wait for the barrel to cool down, which takes about a quarter of an hour!" Le Tai replied.

"A quarter of an hour! So long?"

Cheng Zhijie was full of depression, "If this is placed on the battlefield, wouldn't each piece of artillery only be able to fire three shells, and after three shells, wouldn't the enemy's city be blown up without collapsing, wouldn't it be possible to fill it with human life?"

"This……"

Le Tai was taken aback.

Li Xuan on the side immediately stood up, picked up a bucket of ice, and then walked to the cannon, poured the water in the bucket on the cannon, and with a burst of 'sizzling' sound, the water directly evaporated.

Then, take out the ice cubes and put them on the cannon to move back and forth.

And the volume of the ice cube is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In less than a while, a large block of ice disappeared.

Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others surrounded Li Xuan curiously.

"Xuanba, you asked Buqu to move Leng Bing up from the bottom of the mountain, just for this reason?"

Li Shimin directly asked curiously: "Isn't it a bit of a waste to use ice cubes that can be sold for [-] yuan in Chang'an City to wipe the steel barrels of artillery?"

Before Li Xuan could reply, the bandstand at the side seemed to think of something, and quickly walked up to the cannon, and tentatively touched the steel cylinder with his hand.

Cold?

His eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Li Xuan with great admiration.

"Wonderful, very wonderful, use cold ice to cool down the hot steel cylinder, Your Majesty is wise!"

"What, the steel cylinder is not hot anymore?"

Seeing the appearance of the stage, Cheng Zhijie, Li Shimin and the others were not surprised, and quickly put their hands on the cannon steel cylinder carefully.

Everyone's eyes widened subconsciously, their faces full of shock.

"It's really not hot anymore!"

"His Royal Highness King Jin is indeed a genius!"

"This piece of ice is really worth it!"

As he said that, Cheng Zhijie couldn't help thinking of something, and grinned directly, "Carpenter Mohou, since the steel cylinder is no longer hot, can the old man fire the cannon?"

"Su Guogong, this..."

Le Tai looked embarrassed, and subconsciously looked at Li Xuan who was at the side.

Cheng Zhijie was taken aback, then turned to look at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan looked at Cheng Zhijie with a sneer on his face, is this trying to cut off his beard?
"hey-hey……"

Cheng Zhijie hurriedly let out a flattering smile, cupped his fists and bowed his hands, "Forgive me, Your Royal Highness, I'm confused, hahaha, I'm going to get you a bomb!"

After finishing speaking, he walked towards the shade of the bomb piled aside with a full face.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others couldn't help but have strange expressions.

And Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and the others also smiled helplessly and stepped back.

Only Xuanba can deter Cheng Zhijie, an old rascal!
