Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

"The houses there are hundreds of meters high. Standing at the bottom, you can't see the top at a glance."

"People travel not in carriages but in cars, not only without the slightest bumps, but also more than twice as fast as the best horses."

Under Li Xiao's explanation, everyone was dumbfounded.

When have they ever heard such appalling things.

"Destroy the whole... the entire Tang Dynasty? In an instant?"

"Tracking the enemy hundreds of kilometers away? This..."

"The house can be built [-] meters high? How can you live in such a big house?"

Hard to imagine.

Everyone was stunned by Li Xiao's words.

"Don't be surprised, we will have these things sooner or later!" Li Xiao said seriously.

"what?!"

After the words fell, everyone's expressions were shocked, and their eyeballs were all swollen.

Dozens of people stood in the huge venue, but there was no sound, only the sound of the beating heart and gradually rapid breathing could be heard.

To say what Li Xiao said before, it just opened their eyes and shocked them.

And Li Xiao's sentence "We will have it sooner or later", it is true that everyone present is so horrified that it is difficult to breathe.

This is somewhat unacceptable to them.

If what Li Xiao said is true, wouldn't it be possible to destroy Turks and Dongpu with a snap of a finger?

And at that time, they could still travel in the sky.

Fly in the sky!

Who can do this except the immortal?

But their highness said that such a tool can be made.

Looking at the frightened people, Li Xiao smiled slightly: "Okay, those are still far away from us, and we will have a chance in the future if we do the current things well."

"That's right, how could such an earth-shattering artifact be produced in such a short period of time."

Li Junxian took a deep breath and regained consciousness first.

But at this time, Gou Fugui and the group of bandits looked at Li Xiao with a different look.

Maybe there was some estrangement before, but after hearing Li Xiao's words, they only had deep respect for Li Xiao.

Just like worshiping the gods, all the bandits knelt down silently.

Among them, there are some who have thought about seeking revenge from Li Xiao.

But now, this thought has dissipated.

All that's left is loyalty.

They also wanted to witness the shocking scenes that Li Xiao talked about.

"What is this for? Get up!"

Li Xiao looked at Gou Fugui in surprise.

"Your Highness, from today onwards, the villain's life is yours."

"You let the villain go east, and the villain will never go west. Even if you let the villain die, the villain will not hesitate!"

Gou Fugui and the bandits beside him looked at each other, and they all looked at Li Xiao seriously.

"Loyalty doesn't come from words, let's see how you behave!" Li Xiao said lightly with thoughtful eyes.

"We will work hard!"

With determination in his eyes, Gou Fugui said in a deep voice.

"Okay." Li Xiao turned to look at Li Junxian, and said, "Uncle Li, you work hard, and then expand an assembly line dedicated to the production of cement, and then start to strengthen the city walls and houses."

"Subordinates obey!" Li Junxian clasped his fists and said.

"Your Highness." Zhao Yuntian said suddenly, "This subordinate feels that we need to step up the investigation of everyone's life experience in the villa again. Once a spy leaks out the method of making this cement, it will be a disaster."

"That's right." Li Junxian also nodded, "It's nothing if people from my Tang Dynasty know about it, but if people from Turkic and Dongying know about it, it will be a disaster for Datang."

"If it leaks, let it leak. This cement is nothing precious, and it will leak sooner or later." Li Xiao said indifferently.

"You don't really think that as long as you use this kind of cement to build a city wall, you will be invincible?"

"What do you mean by your Highness?" Li Junxian looked puzzled.

"Forget it." Li Xiao pondered for a moment with downcast eyes, and murmured, "It is estimated that the pig iron, brass and other materials at the Shuhu Trading Company are coming soon, and it is time to produce cannons."

"Cannon? What is it?" Li Junxian and the others looked confused.

"Weapons of mass destruction!"

Li Xiao said calmly, "Even this concrete city wall can't stop the bombardment of cannons."

"what?!!!"

Chapter 173: Changsun Wuji went out

Everyone present was shocked.

Just now, they were shocked by the firmness of the cement-built house.

Unexpectedly, the next moment Li Xiao actually said that there is another weapon of mass destruction that can easily destroy this kind of concrete city wall.

"Impossible! Even a well-made catapult can't shake this concrete wall. What is this cannon? How can it be so powerful?"

"Yeah, I've never heard of it."

"Could it be... this cannon is also a product of Wonderland?"

Everyone was amazed.

"Your Highness, can we produce this so-called cannon now?" Zhao Yuntian said excitedly.

"Well, at least half a month, at most a month, it should be able to produce it." Li Xiao said thoughtfully.

For building cannons, he didn't have the blueprints given by the system.

But he knew that the principle of this cannon was similar to that of a flintlock gun.

It just changed its shape slightly, and its size expanded many times.

As long as he studies and ponders patiently, it doesn't take much time to create it.

It was not put on the agenda before, one is because the required money is too much, and the other is that it has not been used before.

It's different now, the war in the north has not yet stabilized, and now Japan is involved again.

If these two forces unite, they will pose a great threat to Datang.

Li Xiao even felt that Datang was almost certain to lose.

"Your Highness, can this cannon be mass-produced?" Zhao Yuntian asked again.

"It's not very good. The cost of this thing is relatively expensive. With our current financial resources, we can only build ten doors at most." Li Xiao said after a calculation.

His money has already been budgeted into various aspects, and there is actually not much left to use.

"If we use these ten cannons to attack Youzhou, how long does Your Highness think it will take to smash the city wall?" Zhao Yuntian continued to ask.

"A stick of incense!" Li Xiao thought for a while and said.

"hiss……"

As soon as these words came out, a series of gasps sounded.

"The time for a stick of incense..." Zhao Yuntian exclaimed, "Youzhou is the strongest city in the Tang Dynasty, even Chang'an can't compare with it."

"Your Highness, this is unbelievable. Is the cannon you mentioned really so powerful?"

After he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong, and quickly lowered his head and said, "Forgive me, Your Highness, this subordinate didn't mean to question His Highness, it's just...just..."

"Commander Zhao's statement is justifiable, and I also find it hard to believe it." Li Junxian said slowly, "If this cannon really has the power that His Highness said, wouldn't it be easy for my Tang cavalry to crush the Turks?"

"Tamp down the Turks? Hehe..."

Li Xiao smiled contemptuously: "The layout is too small! If we really need enough cannons, it will be a trivial matter to level the whole world!"

"The whole world……"

Everyone was so shocked by Li Xiao's bold words that they were speechless.

They found that listening to Li Xiao's words, they must stabilize their minds.

Otherwise, I don't know when I will suffocate because of being too frightened.

"Stop talking nonsense, what should you do!"

Li Xiao evacuated the people who were still in shock.

Then he went to the blacksmith's shop and tried to draw the blueprint of the cannon.

After some tidying up, he drew the first cannon blueprint.

In fact, it can't be called a blueprint, and Li Xiao doesn't know whether the first attempt will be successful.

However, he believes that others can invent cannons, and he can also build them on the basis of knowledge and reference.

A few blacksmiths looked at the drawings with worried faces.

The amount of work is too big.

But thinking of the sense of accomplishment of making this weapon, the group of blacksmiths immediately became full of energy.

Li Xiao was also at ease.

But before he rested for a while, Li Junxian came to report.

"Your Highness, news came from Chang'an that Changsun Wuji finally couldn't bear to go out."

"Ha ha."

Li Xiao was immediately happy, and said with a smile: "This old guy is careful enough, it's already the third day, aren't you afraid of delaying the time?"

"He may have been frightened by His Highness, thinking that His Highness wanted to do a fake show and really wanted to send someone to assassinate him." Li Junxian said with a smile.

"No." Li Xiao shook his head lightly, "I think he did it on purpose to show me. If he really wants to leave, our people won't be able to find out."

"Your Highness is saying that Changsun Wuji deliberately let us know his whereabouts?" Li Junxian said thoughtfully.

"Yeah." Li Xiao said intently: "It should be waiting for me!"

"Then what should we do?"

"Since he's waiting for me, I'll go meet him. I happen to have something to go to Chang'an." Li Xiao thought for a while and said.

"Your subordinate will make arrangements now!"

Li Junxian left in a hurry.

……

Chang'an City, tens of miles to the southeast.

A chariot team consisting of hundreds of people is moving slowly.

If there were people in Chang'an here, they would definitely recognize that the styles of these guards and carriages all came from the Changsun Mansion.

The common people encountered on the way retreated one after another, shocked by the momentum of this huge team.

However, upon closer inspection, one could find that the hundreds of guards all had sharp eyes, and were constantly looking at the surrounding situation.

But any slight disturbance could make them feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

There is a feeling of being overwhelmed.

At this time, outside the Shuangfeng Ridge, several miles in front of this team, in the dense jungle, there are hundreds of armored figures who are slowly moving forward.

If Li Xiao was here, he would definitely be able to tell that the rider in the middle of the team was none other than Changsun Wuji.

"My lord, the road ahead is rough, and the horses can no longer move forward."
