Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

"Yes!"

More than a dozen people from Dali Temple took Wei Zheng's token and left immediately.

"It's not too late. Your Highness, please leave immediately. If it's too late, it will be too late."

Wei Zheng looked at Li Xiao again, his tone and attitude improved a lot.

"I've said it all. I can only treat internal injuries, and I'm not sure about external injuries. If the King of Han dies while I'm healing, who will take the responsibility? You?" Li Xiao said lightly.

"If His Highness doesn't go, the King of Han will die in Huangquan. I'm afraid it will shake the capital. Once His Majesty gets angry, His Highness may not be able to stay out of it!" Wei Zheng said slowly.

Hearing this, Li Xiao frowned tightly, with a look of hesitation.

What Wei Zheng said was exactly what he was worried about.

No matter what, when the three princes went in, he was the only one who came out safe and sound, which in itself was hard to explain.

After thinking for a long time, Li Xiao said in a deep voice, "I can try it, but there is a condition."

"Please speak, Your Highness," Wei Zheng said immediately.

Li Xiao: "After treating the Queen of Han, I will enter the paddock again!"

"Why?"

Wei Zheng frowned slightly, puzzled.

"As I said before, my people escaped from the assassins, but another one was captured by the assassins. I'm going to find someone."

"The three thousand city guards and the eight thousand imperial guards have all entered, and the assassin cannot escape. Your Highness can rest assured that your subordinates will definitely be found."

"Then what if the assassin has an internal response in the city guard?" Li Xiao asked rhetorically.

"Master Wei must also know that the identity of the instigator of this incident is unusual, and the chance of this happening is very high."

Hearing this, Wei Zheng nodded solemnly: "Your Highness is right. The man behind the scenes should be able to predict the current situation. He must have a way to get the assassin out."

"Let me go in and save people. I'm going to save the King of Han now." Li Xiao stared at Wei Zheng and said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Wei Zheng thought for a while and said, "But there must be someone from me to follow."

"make a deal!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Xiao's mouth.

He was almost certain that those assassins must still be in the paddock.

This is based on the time of the assassination given by Wang Qingxue and the time when Li Ke's assassination was first reported back.

After Li Ke was assassinated, the assassin chased and killed Wang Qingxue for two hours.

Within these two hours, the paddock had already been under martial law, and there was no reason for the assassin to get out.

Unless the assassin has the ability to fly into the sky and escape from the ground.

and many more!

fly?

escape?

Thinking of this, Li Xiao's mind froze, and he suddenly became enlightened.

"Master Wei, I still need to make some preparations. Do you want to go in and have a cup of tea, or wait here?" Li Xiao said hastily.

Hearing that he couldn't leave immediately, Wei Zheng frowned instantly, and said impatiently: "Your Highness, come quickly, I won't go in!"

Li Xiao nodded, turned and left.

He went straight to the smithy.

Pick up a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and start drawing.

The blacksmiths onlookers looked curious and excited.

Because every time they saw Li Xiao drawing a picture, they knew that His Highness was about to invent something new.

After a while, Li Xiao handed the blueprint to the blacksmith and said, "This is an improved shovel. I want you to make a hundred of them in the shortest possible time."

"Yes!"

Although the blacksmiths were puzzled, they didn't dare to ask more questions.

After thinking about it, Li Xiao asked again: "Also, have you made the glass blueprint I gave you last time?"

"Your Highness, it's okay to say that the flat glass has been successfully made now. It's just that the round glass failed once. The second trial will be completed soon, and it will take about an hour." The blacksmith returned.

"it is good!"

Li Xiao nodded and continued: "Make the telescope out of glass. I gave you the blueprint before."

"Yes!"

After ordering the blacksmith, Li Xiao came outside, looked at the sky, and murmured: "No matter who you are, if you dare to frame me, I will definitely make you regret it..."

Chapter 235: The red cannon is completed!

After explaining to the blacksmith, Li Xiao was ready to set off.

At this time, Li Junxian suddenly said: "Your Highness, the progress of the villa is not bad in all aspects, do you want to know more about it?"

Li Xiao nodded: "Speak!"

Li Junxian nodded, thought for a while and said, "First of all, four of the red cannons that your Highness told you have been made, but no power test has been conducted yet."

"Very good, what else?"

A gleam of joy flashed in Li Xiao's eyes.

For this red-clothed cannon, the system does not have reward blueprints.

It was completely designed by him based on the principle of the flintlock gun.

After more than half a month, it was finally completed.

"Secondly, all the walls have basically been reinforced with cement, and the defense power has been greatly improved. It should have surpassed the strength of the Youzhou city wall, and it is basically immune to the attack of the catapult." Li Junxian continued.

"So fast?" Li Xiao frowned slightly, "Won't that cost a lot? How much do we have in savings?"

"There are only about 2000 taels of silver left, and the rest of the silver has been put into the production of various items for sale. About [-] taels of silver are brought into the account every day."

"What about the formation of the army?"

"Flying cavalry and even [-] fine cavalry have been arranged in the cottage, and they are all elites selected from among the rookies."

"In addition to that, there are seven hundred newcomers who will stay at the camp near the Houshan training ground."

"Because they have just been recruited, their strength may not be as good as the ordinary city guards."

"Is this all my new recruits?"

Li Xiao suddenly fell into deep thought.

It is true that recruiting people is quick, but strength and talent cannot be guaranteed.

But this is not a problem for him at all.

People who are not physically strong should be musketeers. It is not necessarily difficult to reload and fire!

If the accuracy is not enough, train and use ammunition piles.

At present, he has more than 200 guards of the imperial guards, plus these more than 200 people, the total number is nearly 500.

All expenses are borne by him alone.

If it weren't for the opening of several shops, it would be impossible to afford it.

"Your Highness, apart from the red-clothed cannon, there are ten large bed crossbows imitated from the god arm crossbow, all of which have been placed on the city wall."

After a pause, Li Junxian continued: "Also, there are currently a thousand flintlock guns and about [-] horses, all of which are equipped with horseshoes and high-quality saddles, and the rest of the ordinary iron shields and armor are forged according to the number of people. , nothing superfluous."

"Well, it's going well."

Speaking of this, Li Junxian smiled gratifiedly: "Based on the current combat power of Lantian Villa, it is enough to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of enemy troops. It is probably the strongest fortress in our Tang Dynasty. As long as the villa is still there, the capital can be kept safe." .”

"not that simple."

Li Xiao shook his head, and continued: "The defense is enough, but after all, the number is still too small."

"If I were an enemy army and found that I couldn't get in, I would definitely adopt a strategy of besieging the city. Without supplies, no matter how strong the villa is, it won't help."

His strength seems to be very strong, but compared to the hundreds of thousands of troops in the national war, he is nothing.

"The capital city and the mountain villa are in a corner. Even if the mountain villa is besieged, with reinforcements from the capital city, the energy consumption will kill the enemy." Li Junxian said without thinking.

He watched the villa grow from nothing to the present, and he couldn't help feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

"I'm afraid that the capital will not help..." Li Xiao said with a sigh.

Although this possibility is infinitely close to zero, Li Xiao still does not place all his hopes on the imperial court.

After a pause, Li Xiao continued: "Continue to expand the scale, the more people the better, time is running out."

"Your Highness..." Li Junxian shook his head, "I'm afraid it won't work, the villa is still too small to accommodate nearly 1000 people."

"Also, facilities such as training grounds, blacksmith workshops, etc. need to take up a lot of space. My subordinates have estimated that the villa can accommodate up to 3000 people."

Hearing this, Li Xiao frowned slightly.

Indeed, the villa seems not small, but his people are all newcomers who have just joined the army, and they need a lot of land to build training facilities and camps.

If only counting this point, it is still no problem for the villa to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

But once there are more people, the blacksmith shop, tailor shop, canteen and other facilities will inevitably expand in scale.

In addition, the expenses will also be astronomical, so the scale of business must be expanded, and the production lines such as breweries and artisan shops used to make money for business must be expanded.

Calculated in this way, the villa does not have enough space.

Especially in business, the production efficiency in this era is very low. Only by increasing the number of production lines can we earn more money.

"Let's do this first, and we'll solve the site problem later." Li Xiao thought for a while and said.

After a while, the conversation room between the two had come to the gate.

Afterwards, under the leadership of Wei Zheng, everyone went to the paddock camp together.

……

Changsun House.

"Master, the son is back!"

In the lobby, Changsun Wuji paced back and forth with a gloomy expression. Hearing this, he immediately asked eagerly, "How is the injury?"

"It's not life-threatening, the doctor is already treating the young master." The servant said respectfully.

"lead the way!"

"Yes!"

Not long after, Changsun Wuji saw his son in the room.

At this time, Changsun Chong was completely wrapped in gauze, leaving only his eyes and mouth outside.

At this time, the doctor was treating the injury on Chang Sun Chong's chest, the pain made him grin his teeth, and this time he pulled the injury on his face again, and he howled in pain.

Seeing his son's misery, Changsun Wuji's heart tightened, and his face showed worry.

But it was replaced by deep anger in an instant.

Changsun Wuji asked in a deep voice: "Chong'er, what's going on? Did Li Changge move his hand?"

"Okay! Dad!"

When Changsun Chong heard Changsun Wuji's voice, he shouted excitedly and indistinctly: "You can avenge Ha'er!"

With this shout, the painful Chang Sun Chong trembled all over again.

"Speak slowly, don't get excited."

Changsun Wuji took a deep breath and said with a distressed expression.

"It's Li Xiao! He beat you! And Li Changge, they're all bullying children!"

"The boy didn't do anything, and they bullied him one by one! Dad, you must avenge the boy!"
