Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

"what?!"

Wang Qingxue stood there in shock.

She wondered if she had heard it wrong.

Peerless sword, there are still ten handles?

Didn't it mean that casting is very difficult?

It sounds like it can be cast at will.

Chapter 206: Temptation

Li Xiao glanced at Wang Qingxue, but did not speak.

I only heard the blacksmith continue to report: "As for the blueprint of the red cannon given by His Highness, there are too many materials needed, and the construction has not yet started."

"However, after a night of research on that compound bow, the subordinates also made one. Do you need to bring it over to show His Highness now?"

"The compound bow is also made? It seems that you really have two brushes, and you did a good job!"

Li Xiao was delighted but also a little surprised, and couldn't help but praise him.

"Take it over and have a look!"

Li Xiao glanced at Wang Qingxue and gave orders.

Soon, an alloy longbow with metallic luster appeared in front of Li Xiao.

He picked up the compound bow and pulled the bowstring, with a satisfied look on his face.

Datang's longbows generally have a pulling force of about one stone, which is about [-] kilograms.

Ordnance may be slightly larger.

But Li Xiao judged that the pulling force of the compound bow in his hand was at least about two stones.

Compared with Datang's ordnance longbow, the stability and portability of the compound bow are much better.

To put it simply, the power of this bow is about twice that of ordinary bows, and more than double that of ordnance longbows.

If it is paired with a special arrowhead made of steel, the power will increase a bit.

"This bow is not bad, let's mass produce some according to this scale, the first batch of production will be set at... about [-]!"

Li Xiao thought for a while and said.

The use of compound bows is different from that of flintlock guns.

The flintlock fires fast and arrives almost instantly, leaving no time for defense.

But the disadvantage is that the stamina is small and the power is not very great.

Basically, once blocked by the armor, the steel balls fired by the flintlock can hardly cause effective damage to the human body.

The compound bow is just the opposite of the flintlock.

Although the rate of fire is not as good as firearms, it can pierce armor even at a long distance and effectively kill the enemy.

The two are complementary to each other, and the effect is better when used together.

But at this moment, Wang Qingxue didn't pay attention to Li Xiao's words at all.

Her eyes were fixed on a corner in the distance.

In the corner, ten long swords glowing with silver light were randomly thrown there.

She recognized it instantly, these ten swords were exactly the same as the one in Xue Rengui's hand!

In the Martial Arts Conference, she was defeated by such a sword, and she was deeply impressed.

So she believed that she would never admit her mistake.

But how could such a peerless divine sword be thrown here like garbage?

She looked at Li Xiao with puzzled eyes.

"Your Highness, these... are all peerless swords?"

"what happened?"

Li Xiao looked at Wang Qingxue in surprise.

What's wrong?

Wang Qingxue sullenly hesitated to speak, and finally struggled for a long time before she took a deep breath and asked: "This peerless sword, if you take it out casually, it will cause a bloody storm, Your Highness, you have here?" So many? These are not fakes, are they?"

"This girl!" The blacksmith said with a sullen face, "We don't like to hear your words. We forged the sword strictly according to His Highness's instructions. How could it be a fake?"

"I... I didn't mean that, it was just..."

Wang Qingxue quickly explained, but didn't know how to speak.

"Okay." Li Xiao raised his hand and said, "It seems that Miss Wang likes it very much, so I will give you a handle."

"Give her the sword."

After giving the order, Li Xiao looked at Wang Qingxue and said, "You should be able to tell if it's true or not."

Wang Qingxue watched in disbelief as the blacksmith brought the peerless sword and walked towards her step by step.

She stretched out her hands tremblingly, and caught the sword handed by the blacksmith.

But there was still some dizziness in his mind, and he murmured: "Your Highness, this...is this really for me?"

She realizes a problem.

If it is really a fake, then there is absolutely no possibility that Li Xiao would give it to her, otherwise it would be a revelation.

So there is only one answer - the sword in her hand is a real sword, a peerless sword!

How could such a precious thing be given to her like this?

This made her wonder if she was still asleep and hadn't woken up.

"This king said to give it to you, then this sword is yours, there is no need to doubt it."

Li Xiao smiled slightly, an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.

When Wang Qingxue heard this, she was immediately stunned.

"What are you still doing? Let's go!"

Li Xiao walked a few steps, then turned back and urged.

After that, Li Xiao took Wang Qingxue to the recruit training base in the back mountain to have a look.

This batch of new recruits is newly recruited, and there are nearly 500 people.

On the first day, Li Xiao just let Wang Qingxue meet the recruits.

But when the group of recruits knew that Wang Qingxue was going to teach them martial arts, their hearts were 1 perplexed, but they couldn't open their mouths because of Li Xiao's presence.

Time passed like this until the evening banquet.

"Your Highness, something unexpected happened!"

Li Junxian hurried over, and then whispered a few words in Li Xiao's ear.

Li Xiao's face changed, and he immediately got up and ordered: "Uncle Li, send someone to help immediately!"

"Yes!"

Li Junxian left in a hurry.

Li Xiao also didn't care about eating, and then left.

Before leaving, Li Xiao said to Wang Qingxue, "Miss Wang, I will be back tomorrow morning at the latest."

Wang Qingxue looked puzzled, but she didn't ask.

At this moment, the whole villa was covered with a veil of mystery in her eyes.

After the dinner, Wang Qingxue found to her surprise that the guards who were everywhere in the villa during the day had disappeared without a trace.

The entire villa seemed to have lost [-]% of its population.

She walked aimlessly on the road of the villa, her mind full of deep confusion.

At the same time, in a small courtyard by the lake, Li Xiao, Li Junxian and others who had already left appeared here.

On the side, Xue Rengui, Lu Li, and Zhao Yuntian were also present.

"Your Highness, I have already sent people to follow, but Wang Qingxue is very skilled, and the people below dare not follow too closely." Li Junxian said respectfully.

Li Xiao nodded slightly, but did not speak.

At this time, Xue Rengui hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, I believe she will not betray His Highness."

"It's hard to say."

There was wisdom in Lu Li's eyes, and he said slowly, "Analyzing from the previous situation, Wang Qingxue listened to the elders very much, and the Wang family has taken refuge in the crown prince, so there is no guarantee that she will not betray His Highness."

"You will know after reading it." Li Xiao said lightly.

Everything today was actually a test set for Wang Qingxue.

He wanted to see if Wang Qingxue would tell the truth after knowing his secret and getting the peerless sword he had dreamed of.

For this reason, he also specially took out the defense force of the villa.

Hearing this, Xue Rengui fell into silence.

He also knew the seriousness of the matter.

He understood even more that if Wang Qingxue really passed the test, he would definitely be reused by His Highness in the future.

I don't know how long has passed.

Suddenly a guard came to report.

"Your Highness! It's not good, Wang Qingxue went towards the side door of the villa."

"Your Highness! Wang Qingxue left the villa alone!"

Several guards sent news one after another.

After Xue Rengui heard it, his face turned pale immediately, and he murmured: "Impossible! How could she be such a person?"

Chapter 207: Go out in the middle of the night just to steal a few sweet potatoes?

It was also hard for Li Xiao to believe that Wang Qingxue would betray him.

He asked himself if he had done anything to offend Wang Qingxue.

Not only that, but also told her the secret, and even gave her a magic weapon as a gift.

Could it be that Wang Qingxue is really an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf?

"Subordinates go down and catch her!" Xue Rengui gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

"No hurry, let's take a look."

Li Xiao raised his hand to stop Xue Rengui, his eyes were thoughtful.

"The secret sentry is equipped with flintlock guns. If she really betrays her, they will shoot them decisively." Li Junxian explained.

As soon as these words came out, Xue Rengui became even more nervous.

He knew the power of the flintlock.

If it was a sneak attack, Wang Qingxue would definitely die!

"Xue Rengui, what should you do if she dies outside the villa?"

Li Xiao suddenly looked at Xue Rengui playfully.

A look of struggle flashed across Xue Rengui's face, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "If she really betrayed His Highness, then it's because the subordinate has blind eyes and mistrusted the traitor."

"Ugh……"

Li Xiao sighed and said nothing more.

He didn't expect things to develop to this point.
