Time goes back a few days ago. On the night of the victory, a demon falcon brought a secret letter back to Shangjing at subsonic speed.

At that time, the Eight Idle Kings were talking secretly in the emperor's study.

"Old eight, what do you think are the odds of Li Zhuang?" the emperor asked the eighth prince.

"Oh, don't look at this kid is young, but he is very arrogant, he thinks he has that ability, he thinks he can resist the Yanan people. Then let him try. I have already told the Tiger Master that once things are in crisis, he must leave with Gao Li no matter what. There are a lot of people in their village, and although they can't beat them, if they run, the Yanan people can't stop them. The Eight Idle Kings said with a smile.

"At this rate, in less than half a month, the rebels will come to Shangjing, how is our Heaven Breaking Army ready?" the emperor asked.

"Although there are still some problems, those 'celestials' have assured us that the Celestial Legion can be dispatched at any time. The Eight Idle Kings said in a low voice.

"Celestial ...... Those celestials, have you said anything lately?" the emperor lowered his voice.

The Eight Idle Kings shook their heads and said, "My people follow them almost every day, but these people are like puppets, doing almost nothing except doing their own things every day. ”

The emperor couldn't help but take a deep breath, raised his head, looked up at the sky as if he was looking through the roof, and sighed: "I always thought that the so-called celestials were just a group of people with natural abilities. But now I know that the so-called celestial beings are so terrifying. First of all, it is evil, and then it is a celestial being, and there are too many things in this world that I don't know. Eighth child, did you say that back then, the decision of the ancestors was really right?"

The Eight Idle Kings smiled: "Right or wrong, the matter has come to this point, you and I don't know, let's leave it to future generations to comment." ”

At this moment, there was a rhythmic tapping sound from the window, and a strange voice sounded: "Eighth Prince, the front line is urgent." The Eight Idle Kings immediately walked over and opened the window, and the window was a demon falcon, and it was it that spoke people's words.

The window opened, and the demon falcon flew in and landed on the shoulder of the eighth prince. It had a copper pipe on one of its paws, and the eighth prince took it, opened it and looked at it, and then handed it to the emperor, who whispered: "Li Zhuang mysterious weapon...... Yanan people, all of them annihilated, a great victory?"

"Annihilation?"

Gao Li looked at the Eighth Prince, and the Eighth Prince's Lord looked at the Demon Falcon. The demon falcon said: "The little demon can see clearly in the air, one of the Yanan people failed to escape, three thousand people, one did not live, and all of them were annihilated." Within a moment of the battle between the two sides, King Yannan was killed. As soon as that weapon exploded, the Yanan people immediately turned into a cloud of blood!"

The Emperor and the Eighth Prince glanced at each other, and both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

It is impossible to fake the battle report ahead, and it is naturally impossible for the eyes of the demon falcon to see flowers!

The Li Zhuang that he didn't like at all and didn't pay attention to at all! That little Li Zhuang! That Li Zhuang who made women's clothes!

The emperor burned the paper ball in his hand in the candle flame, immediately got up, and said, "Someone! Prepare for it! I want a private visit!"

On the way here, the emperor and the king of the eight idle chatted a lot. Although they knew that Li Zhuang had created a weapon before, this kind of thing that was limited to hearing was somewhat unrealistic. But now, this weapon can shoot a Yanan person in one shot, and things are completely different.

"Eighth Brother, you say, Gao Li, could it be a celestial?" the emperor suddenly asked.

The eighth prince shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, I've seen that Gao Li, he doesn't have half of the heavenly and human true qi." ”

The emperor smiled: "If you are not a celestial, then you can only be a genius." And looking at his reputation for being greedy for money and lustful, he is not like a celestial. It's just that this time, he Li Zhuang completely annihilated the rebels, so I have to give him something?"

The eighth prince smiled: "It's really not good, just make him a new Yannan king!"

The Emperor laughed: "That place, I wish someone would guard it." I dare to seal it, does he dare to ask for it?"

"Hahaha, don't say it's him, even I don't dare. The Eight Idle Kings laughed.

The whole carriage was suddenly filled with a cheerful air.

In fact, on the night of the victory in the war, Gao Li really thought about one thing carefully. That is his Li Zhuang, whether to keep large-scale armed or not.

But after thinking about it for a long time, he was very sure of one thing. In this world, there are too many things that he can't understand. For example, the emperor has a reason for being fearless, if the emperor can let the rebels go north, then there is only one reason, that is, the emperor has a strong armed force, but this force either can't leave Shangjing, or doesn't want to show people easily. Either way, it's actually not good for Gao Li. Gao Li actually wants to make money, and he really doesn't want to make Lizhuang a military powerhouse, so as long as there is no external threat, Gao Li is willing to give the emperor a face.

After all, once technology develops in the direction of destruction, it may be far faster than ordinary people imagine.

Along the way, Gao Li introduced the emperor to their workshop and saw the metalworking equipment. He also focused on the furnace used to melt weapons.

This Eight Idle King is basically the director of the CIA, if this person has a good attitude towards Gao Li, then the emperor will naturally not have too much Gao Li to worry about.

Of course, in fact, whether it is the emperor or Gao Li, everyone knows it. Since Gao Li was able to build an armed force that wiped out the Yanan people in such a short period of time, the destruction of the guns now is essentially just a statement. If you can build it for the first time, you can make it a second time, a third time, and even faster than the last time.

Finally, after going around, Gao Li took the emperor to the main hall, and everyone sat down. The emperor stared at Gao Li, Gao Li stared at the emperor, except for Gao Li in the main hall, the others were all people around the emperor. But there was a faint flow of strong breath around him, and the skin on the back of Li Tie's fist was tingling, and he couldn't help scratching it with his hands. The emperor saw it in his eyes, and he knew it in his heart.

Although Gao Li didn't say anything, and his expression was very normal, as an emperor, the dissatisfaction in Gao Li's eyes and words could still be heard somewhat.

"Gao Li, tell me, how do you plan to reward you for such a great achievement this time?" the Emperor smiled.

Hey, yes, wouldn't everyone be happy if you threw this sentence out first when you came?

"It is the duty of every citizen of the military country to return to Your Majesty, to share your worries for the country and for Your Majesty. This little thing is not enough to worry about, Your Majesty, you can just look at it and reward it casually. A sincere smile suddenly appeared on Gao Li's face.

The emperor and the eighth prince glanced at each other, and smiled secretly in their hearts: It turns out that you are shaking your face, but it is because the emperor did not mention the reward?

However, this thing is really not rewarding. With such a big merit of ending a war by himself, thrown in the army, he can almost go straight from a small soldier to a Xuanwei or Dingyuan-level general.

But Gao Li is not from the military.

Give money?

To be honest, there is no such precedent, no matter how great your military achievements are, how can anyone give gold and silver directly?

Or, give land?

In a group of people behind the emperor, they followed the county order of the county from a distance, and the emperor said to the county order: "The county order, how many Huangzhuang you have in this county?"

The county commander didn't even think about it, and replied directly: "Back to Your Majesty, there are fifteen Huangzhuang in this county, all of which are fertile land, totaling more than 600 acres. ”

The emperor pointed at Gao Li: "From now on, these are yours." ”

Gao Li smiled and arched his hand, "Your Majesty." "The expression is neither humble nor overbearing, neither salty nor light.

Seeing Gao Li's movements, the emperor smiled and said, "You have a lot of credit, I know that you kid will definitely not be able to look down on a mere 600 acres of land, but I really don't have anything to reward you now, after all, you are a person who is not necessarily a master." I can't seal you a prince, and then seal Yannan City to you, right? That broken place, and bordering the Yanan people, I can't ask for it. ”

The emperor and his entourage all laughed, especially Li Tiequan, who laughed the most.

Hearing the emperor's words, the smile on Gao Li's face suddenly became very gorgeous, and he gave a big salute and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

In an instant, the room fell completely silent.

Li Tiefist roared and pounced on Gao Li, grabbed his saluting hand, and pulled him up: "Brother, are you stupid? You can't go to that place! Those Yanan people are not hospitable people!"

But I saw that Gao Li's eyes were shining, and said: "I believe that they are all a group of simple people, and I will use the truth in my hands to prove this!"
