Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 53
"Then why are you still standing here? Why don't you send someone to the East Palace to ask for clarification!" Li Er scolded Wang Yuan while looking up at the fireworks blooming in the sky.

"No!" Wang Yuan took the order and hurried to the East Palace, he wanted to find out what it was by himself.

Soon, Wang Yuan returned from the East Palace and told Li Er exactly what he had asked from Li Chengqian.

At the East Palace, all the fireworks were finally set off, and the sky returned to the quiet night.

Li Chengqian was very satisfied with this experiment of setting off fireworks, and he will be able to watch beautiful fireworks blooming in the sky during the Chinese New Year in the future.

When fireworks are produced in large quantities in the future, they can be sold in the world and earn a lot of money back.

The most important point is that the gunpowder in fireworks can also produce explosives with great lethality.

However, Li Chengqian doesn't plan to make such a weapon of mass destruction now, and besides, he doesn't know how to do it either. Making explosives is not the same as making fireworks, it's that easy.

A bad word, if the explosive exploded, it would be powerful enough to destroy half of the Cheng'en Hall.

Therefore, Li Chengqian didn't plan to study big killers like explosives before the technology was mature.

Early the next morning, Li Chengqian got up, changed and washed under the service of the maid. After breakfast, he took a group of guards out of the palace to hunt.

"Drive!" Li Chengqian, Xue Rengui, Cheng Wuting, Qiu Shenji, Wang Fangyi, Pei Xingjian and a group of guards galloped through the forest.

Di Renjie, Li Jingxuan, Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu, Du He and others stopped and watched not far away, watching the prince and the others ride their horses and play.

"Your Highness! There's a rabbit over there!" A guard pointed to the distance and shouted.

Li Chengqian looked in the direction the guard pointed, and saw a fat gray rabbit eating. Li Chengqian was overjoyed!After receiving the bow and arrow from the guard, he immediately opened the bow and set the arrow, aiming at the rabbit.

"Bang" the bowstring vibrated, and a feathered arrow shot towards a rabbit in the distance.

The rabbit seemed to feel the crisis, looked up, and a sharp arrow shot into the soil beside it. The frightened rabbit ignored the delicious food in front of it, stepped back, and jumped into the woods, a few times The jump disappeared from everyone's sight.

Seeing that one arrow missed, Li Chengqian smiled to Xue Rengui and others beside him: "I haven't shot arrows for a long time, but I'm a little unfamiliar with it. I won't do it myself when hunting today. You should show your housekeeping skills."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the jade belt on his body and said: "Whoever can win the first place, I will give this jade belt to him!"

"We don't have any problems. It's just that brother Xue is very good at archery. If he participates, I'm afraid we won't have the chance to perform." Cheng Wuting said with a smile.

Xue Rengui can shoot through five layers of heavy armor with one arrow, and his archery skills are even more superb, piercing Yang with a hundred steps. They are also very good at archery, but compared with Xue Rengui, they are much worse.

"I heard that Brother Wang is also good at archery, but I don't know who is better, he or Brother Xue, why not let them compare!" Pei Xingjian said.

"Frugality makes sense! You two have a competition, and whoever wins will be rewarded with a jade belt." Li Chengqian said.

"No!" Xue Rengui and Wang Fangyi agreed.

"After an hour, the two of you will come back here to meet up. Whoever catches the most prey will win. Now!" Li Chengqian said.

"Drive!" As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, Wang Fangyi and Xue Rengui galloped their horses into the woods.

Li Chengqian and others found a place to dismount and rest.

Just as they got off their horses, they heard the sound of fighting. Judging from the sound, it should be a group of people fighting. Li Chengqian frowned. Who is it?How dare they fight with weapons near Chang'an.

"Go and see what's going on?" Li Chengqian ordered the accompanying guards to check the situation.

Several guards rode away looking for the direction of the voice.

When the guards came to the fighting place, they saw two groups of people fighting, and dozens of people besieged the three of them, who were already bruised.

Both sides saw the guards appearing, and the party with more people showed a little panic when seeing the guards appearing!The leader didn't know what to say, and their offensive became more violent.

"Friends over there, we are Baekje's envoys!" The three of them approached the guards while beating, not forgetting to call out their identities.

"What?" The guard was shocked when he heard this!These fanatics actually had the audacity to go to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, to attack the Baekje envoys who came to pay tribute to Chang'an, which is not bad.

The guards immediately picked up their bows and arrows, shot arrows at the group with a large number of people, prevented the other party from approaching, and sent one person back to report to the prince.

"What did you say? Someone dared to assassinate Baekje's envoy at the feet of the emperor?" Li Chengqian was furious after hearing the report from the guards who came back!
How dare someone dare to attack the foreign ministers who came to pay tribute at the feet of the emperor, what audacity!This is not to despise Datang's majesty.

How dare someone dare to kill the envoys of Fanbang in the vicinity of Chang'an, the capital, regardless of the majesty of the Tang Dynasty!If this gets out, what is the dignity of the empire!
"Why are you still standing still! Why don't you capture these daring people for the widow!" Li Chengqian said.

Everyone knew that the prince was angry, so Cheng Wuting got on his horse and shouted: "The people who lead the left are following me! Lead the way ahead!" Turning around, he said to the guards who came back to report.

The guard got on his horse and returned the same way, and Cheng Wuting followed behind him. In an instant, dozens of people got on their horses and followed Cheng Wuting.

Not long after, Cheng Wuting and others went back and brought back an envoy from Baekje. Li Chengqian asked the accompanying imperial physician to treat the envoy from Baekje.

"Your Highness!" Cheng Wuting got off his horse and came to Li Chengqian's side.

Li Chengqian looked at the Baekje envoy who was covered with scars in front of him and said, "Didn't you say there were three envoys? Why did you only bring one back?"

"When I arrived, he and our brothers were the only ones left to support us. The other two had already been killed by gangsters," Cheng Wu said.

"Hmph!" Li Chengqian snorted coldly, until now he didn't understand who had the courage to commit murder near the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

"Where are those villains?"

"They have all been beheaded by the ministers. Originally, they wanted to leave a life alive, but who would have thought that he committed suicide."

"So the clue is broken, and we no longer know who the mastermind behind it is?" Li Chengqian said.

"When I checked the corpses of those villains just now, I found that they were not from our Central Plains. Judging from their attire, they should come from the same place as the Baekje envoys." Cheng Wu said firmly.

"So the person who assassinated the Baekje envoy should be someone from Goguryeo or Silla!" Li Chengqian said.

"It's also possible that it was done by one of Baekje's own people." Cheng Wu insisted.
