"what happened?"
Li Er frowned, stood up abruptly, and hurried out of the tent.
But I saw that the sky outside was dark, and the sky was covered with dark clouds.
Seeing a storm is coming.
"This……"
The moment they saw this scene, everyone was shocked.
Including Li Xiao.
The shock in his heart at this moment cannot be increased.
It actually rained.
Who is that old Taoist priest?
After a brief silence, everyone immediately looked at Li Xiao.
"King Yue...you..."
Changsun Wuji stared at Li Xiao, with shock and confusion in his eyes, which was extremely complicated.
Li Er also looked at Li Xiao with a confused face.
"Father..." Li Xiao smiled wryly, and said helplessly, "I said I guessed it, do you believe it?"
"What a coincidence? If this rain has nothing to do with you, why did you burst into thunder just after you finished speaking?"
Li Er stared at Li Xiao incredulously.
"If it's not a coincidence, it must be the rain that the little prince begged for!" Li Chunfeng said with a look of shock.
"It's really not... Maybe it's the priest's ritual that came to fruition?"
Li Xiao looked helpless.
It’s over.
Now I'm going to be regarded as a magic stick!
"It turns out that the little prince is the real master! Pindao knows his ability, and this rain has absolutely nothing to do with Pindao."
Li Chunfeng looked at Li Xiao with admiration.
"Shut up you!"
Li Xiao glared at Li Chunfeng angrily.
He doesn't want to be a magician.
Once a person has the ability, he must bear certain responsibilities.
What's more, he doesn't have this ability.
Once admitted, if Li Er asked him to come to pray for rain in the future, what would happen?
What else could he do but stare blankly?
"Okay, step back! Xiao'er, you stay." Li Er thought for a while and said suddenly.
"I retire!"
Changsun Wuji immediately cupped his hands, turned and left.
All the eunuchs and guards also left the camp one after another.
In an instant, everyone left cleanly.
At this time, only Li Er and Li Xiao were left in the camp.
Li Er looked at Li Xiao thoughtfully.
"Xiao'er, it's just you and me here, if you have any secrets, it's okay to say, I will never tell."
Li Xiao smiled wryly and said, "Father, what a coincidence."
"How dare you call it a coincidence?"
Li Er stared at Li Xiao sullenly, and continued, "Where's the magic arm crossbow? Erguotou, horseshoes, soap, and other miraculous things are all coincidences?"
"Father, I don't know how to explain to you..."
Li Xiao looked helpless, then thought for a while, and continued: "Well, let me give you an example..."
"Father, since ancient times, people have learned to hunt with sharp stones or wooden thorns, but the efficiency is extremely low."
"One day, people discovered iron tools. Weapons made of this material are so powerful that they will soon replace all stone tools."
"This is a cross-age discovery, but the person who discovered the iron is not a god, he is just an ordinary person, with just a little more wisdom and luck than others."
"And the boy is the one who discovered the 'iron tool'."
"So, father should understand!"
After saying all this, Li Xiao felt much at ease.
Indeed, his things come from the system.
But even if there is no system, with his soul beyond the times, he will be able to create it sooner or later.
It's just that there are countless troubles in the middle, and it takes a lot of time.
"There is some truth..." Li Er suddenly realized.
"It's good that the father understands. If there is no order, the child will leave." Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that Li Er would hold on to this point.
"Xiao'er..." Li Er suddenly looked at Li Xiao seriously, and said slowly: "I am very pleased that you can contribute your invention."
"Father, what are you talking about? The child is also Han, so naturally he won't be stingy."
As Li Xiao said, his eyes flickered.
This is indeed a bit false.
He did have selfish intentions, he really didn't intend to contribute those flintlock guns and the bright silver coiled dragon armor.
"Okay, let's go, if you have any difficulties, just come to the father."
Li Er nodded, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes.
……
At this time, a heavy rain was sweeping across the earth.
The people in Chang'an City were all boiling.
Every household is discussing.
"Have you heard? His Majesty asked the Taoist priest to do it today. As soon as the altar is opened, there will be dark clouds and thunder in the sky."
"I heard that the Taoist priest was named a national teacher. I don't know if it's true or not."
"It's true. My uncle was an official in the court and saw it with his own eyes. You don't know. When the priest raised his hand at that time, the light was so dazzling that the people who illuminated it couldn't open their eyes."
"There is such a god?"
"Of course, I didn't expect that there are living gods in my Tang Dynasty. It is God who blesses my Tang Dynasty!"
"Yes, my Great Tang is blessed by the heavens, and the northern barbarians want to devour my Great Tang. They are simply ignorant and ridiculous!"
"Just wait, the barbarians in the north will not be rampant for long, and they will be razed to the ground when they offend the gods!"
Chapter 136: Something is wrong!
Li Xiao returned to the villa.
Immediately, he found Zhao Yuntian and told him, "Commander Zhao, we must bring back that old Taoist priest!"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
Zhao Yuntian didn't even think about it, he turned around and was about to take someone away.
"Boom!"
But the thunder coming from outside made Li Xiao pause.
"never mind."
Li Xiao called to Zhao Yuntian, and said: "This heavy rain has washed away all the traces. It's a little troublesome to track them down. Let's wait for the weather to clear."
In the end, he was just trying to solve the confusion in his heart, so there was no need to spend a lot of trouble.
Is it a coincidence that the old Taoist's prediction is so accurate?
Li Xiao recalled what happened today again, and his face gradually became serious.
He made Changsun Wuji unable to step down, which would inevitably attract hatred.
He can't sit still.
"Zhao Yuntian, starting from today, the villa will be on alert. We will step up the training of recruits and speed up the production of armor." Li Xiao thought for a while and said.
"Yes!"
"and many more!"
Zhao Yuntian wanted to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Li Xiao.
"What orders does Your Highness have?"
"Go and call the blacksmiths, I have something to explain."
"Yes!"
After Zhao Yuntian left, Li Xiao took out two blueprints from the system space.
One is the bright silver panlong armor, and the other is steelmaking equipment.
He flipped through the drawings, then put away the steelmaking equipment helplessly.
Poor, I can't afford it now.
Judging from the current situation, even if he gathered all the pig iron in the villa, it would not be enough.
With the money in hand, it is impossible to buy a large amount of pig iron immediately.
The steelmaking plan can only be put on hold temporarily.
However, it is necessary to make some of this precious armor.
Not long after, the blacksmiths arrived one after another.
Li Xiao handed over the drawing and explained it in detail for a long time.
The moment they saw the blueprint, all the blacksmiths were not calm, their faces were sometimes shocked and sometimes embarrassed.
"Your Highness, the precision of this armor is too high, let me wait..."
"That's right, Your Highness still needs to use black iron to make it, which is even more difficult to operate."
The blacksmiths began to complain one by one.
It's not that it can't be made, it's just that Li Xiao is not satisfied with the quality of the made.
"Take your time. Also, change the outer dragon-shaped corner, um... let's change it to a wolf!"
There is a lifelike dragon on the bright silver Panlong armor.
This is not acceptable, it will be suspected of being disrespectful to the emperor.
Since ancient times, the dragon has been a symbol of the emperor.
Sometimes, Li Xiao wondered if the system was hinting at him.
"That's it, go back and study slowly, and come to me if you encounter problems."
Li Xiao sent the group of blacksmiths away.
……
At this moment, heavy rain swept across Chang'an.
