On the tenth day of February in the eighth year of the Great Cause, in the ancient road leading from Taiyuan to Tongguan, smoke and dust were billowing up. There were two hundred and eighty warriors galloping on the loess road, and in the center of them were nine carriages that were also galloping. All are pulled by four tall dragons, and the body is made of the strongest red shaft wood, and the decoration is noble and ornate.

Twelve-year-old Guanyin was leaning against the small window on the side of the carriage, looking out of the window with curious eyes.

"That's Li Jiaerlang? I haven't seen him before. ”

She was referring to a young knight not far from their carriage in the rear. The facial features are handsome and the body is heroic, but it's a pity that the lazy demeanor makes the young man's whole person look casual and lazy.

This guy actually fell asleep on horseback.

"It's not surprising that you haven't seen him. ”

In the carriage, Gao Shilian, who was Zhililang at the time, held a book in his hand and said casually: "This is Li Shimin, the second son of Tang Guogong, nicknamed Pilusha. Because his temperament was not liked by Tang Guogong, he did not bring him into the capital when he was appointed as a young eunuch in the palace. ”

"Virujana, is the great day coming to Virujana?"

Guanyin thought thoughtfully: "I think that Li Jiaerlang's parents should like him very much." ”

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Buddhism prevailed in the world, especially in the north, and the names of the children of the nobles were taken from the Buddhist family. In order to seek the blessing of Buddhism, the child can grow up safely.

And Virujana is the great day of Buddhism and has a noble status.

"He doesn't fight for himself!"

The eldest grandson Wuji in the corner of the carriage sneered: "I heard that Yang Su had seen this Li Jiaerlang in the early years, and commented that Pilu Sha's talent is like a dragon leaping and a phoenix, and I am only afraid that he will not be inferior to Lanling in the future." ”

"Yang Su, is it the late Duke of Chu, the prince and the prince, Situ Yang Su?"

Guanyin asked in surprise, "Did he really say that?"

The dragon leaps over the phoenix, which is a metaphor for a person's talent, like a dragon leaping, like a phoenix roaring. And the words "not inferior to Lanling" are even more highly evaluated.

Gao Su, the king of Lanling in Northern Qi, is a famous general who has won a hundred battles and is also the giant pillar of the Northern Qi Dynasty. It's a pity that he was suspicious of Gao Wei, the queen of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and died unjustly.

"I said it!"

Gao Shilian sighed with a little emotion in his words: "At that time, I was also present at the birthday banquet of the Duke of Chu, and there were several children from the family playing in the backyard and colliding with the Duke of Chu. At that time, Yu Zi was trembling and did not dare to speak, only Li Shimin responded calmly. Chu Guogong was amazed, and asked a few questions on the spot, but Li Shimin was able to answer them one by one, which made Chu Guogong praise again and again. As you know, the Duke of Chu is good at the art of looking at people, and he rarely has a time to look away. ”

But this time he was just out of sight. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said with disdain: "Soon after this Li family Erlang was praised by the Duke of Chu, he broke into a disaster, which caused the Duke of Tang to be disgusted. After that, this guy gave up on himself, as a disciple of the general, he didn't like military tactics, nor did he study the method of fighting in battle formations, but he frolicked in the market every day, and spent time studying armor-making skills, and in recent years, he has been unknown to everyone. Later, there were rumors that this Li Jiaerlang was jealous of his brother's talent and deliberately pushed his third brother into the river. ”

Guanyin couldn't help but be taken aback: "Pushing his younger brother into the river?

"Just hearing people say that. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at his sister: "The rumors may be untrue, but when I look at him today, he is indeed a lazy, lazy, and unruly guy, you remember to stay away from him in the future." ”

"I see. Guanyin turned her head and looked out the window again. But in her eyes, there was still a little curiosity. I thought that the two brothers behind me didn't look like brothers were out of harmony.

※ ※ ※ ※

Just thirty steps behind the carriage, Li Xuanba stabbed his brother Li Shimin with his fingers.

"Second brother, look at Guanyin. She's so beautiful, even more beautiful than my sister. ”

"Really?"

Li Shimin's eyes swept forward, and then he laughed: "Your heart is moving?"

"Not really!"

Li Xuanba's face suddenly turned red, and his cheeks were puffed up high, like a bun: "Guanyin, she is looking at you." ”

"Look at me, then she must be wondering why this man could fall asleep on horseback. ”

Li Shimin: "Speaking of which, you are too young, it is Sichun's age." When I go back this time, the second brother will mention it to my mother, saying Xuanba, you like this type of girl. ”

"Second brother—"

Li Xuanba's face turned even redder, but he immediately saw that the Guanyin maid by the car window was pulled back, and then the eldest grandson Wuji poked his head out and glared at his brother coldly, his eyes full of contempt and defense.

Li Xuanba couldn't help but snort coldly, and his face turned cold. He couldn't see others looking at his second brother with such eyes.

He was the third son of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, and had previously studied art under the Luliang sect of the Zhengyi Sect. This time, due to the illness of his mother Dou, his brother Li Shimin was ordered by his parents to lead dozens of troops to Luliangshan to pick him up and return to the capital.

As a result, after meeting the ancestors on the way, Gao Shilian, who was returning to Beijing, was returning to Beijing, so the two teams walked together.

Originally, when he saw that his eldest grandson Wuji was dignified and extraordinary, he couldn't help but feel good. But at this time, I feel that this person is really disgusting. It's just a broken son who was kicked out of the house by the eldest grandson's family, what is his anger?

This person is nothing more than relying on his talents, but his brother, whether it is martial arts or the art of war, is beyond his peers, but in recent years, he has been obscure and does not want to show himself in front of others.

This eldest grandson Wuji, what is there to be proud of?

Li Shimin also felt something, but yawned disapprenorantly: "You continue to watch, I'll continue to sleep for a while." ”

"Still sleeping?" Li Xuanba couldn't help complaining: "Second brother, you stayed up late last night?" I really don't understand, those ink nail parts, what is there to fiddle with, make you so fascinated by second brother? Father said, you are a plaything!"

In the world, warriors and ink armor were rampant in the world, so the armor makers who could make ink armor were also highly respected.

But their martial arts Li clan is the top generals in the world, and they are also one of the eight pillar national clans in the world. Tang Guogong's descendant disciples, there is no reason for military generals and high-ranking officials not to do it, and to run to be an armor maker.

"This armor-making technique, if you study it carefully, is actually quite interesting. ”

Li Shimin half-closed his eyes and dealt casually: "Actually, if you want to compete on the battlefield in the future, you might as well know some ink armor structures, which will be very beneficial to you——"

When he said this, he suddenly paused, and noticed a trace of reflection in the forest in front of him.

Li Shimin couldn't help but be shocked, and then without thinking, he reined in the horses and shouted coldly: "Stop advancing! The whole team dismounts and lines up, and the soldiers are in armor!"

He gave the order, but it took a long time for the entire convoy to react. All the knights reined in their horses, and the kings in the chariots also tightened their reins.

Li Yan, the general who led the team in front, immediately turned around and came to Li Shimin's side: "Second son, what happened?

This Li Yan is nearly seventy years old, with a bearded face and suspicious eyes.

Not only him, but the eldest grandson Wuji also held a horse lance bow and arrow, and walked out of the car with a puzzled expression.

"There's an ambush ahead! Can't you see it?"

As Li Shimin spoke, he dismounted and brought out a two-foot-wide iron box from another carriage. With his hand, he pressed a few buttons on the iron box, and pieces of black armor leaves suddenly turned out of the box, covering his body.

In just a moment, Li Shimin turned into an eight-foot-tall (2.4 meters) metal giant, covered in black armor, and the armor was shining with cold light.

At this time, there were still pieces of armor leaves in the box rolled out, and under the guidance of Li Shimin, they covered the mount next to them. The dark cloud horse of this divine steed, after a while, also turned into a steel monster.

This is the ink armor, in the last years of the Warring States period, in order to fight against the tyrannical Qin and calm the disputes in the world, the Mo family gathered more than a dozen craftsmen to invent this kind of war equipment called 'ink armor'. Covering the body with steel, and then driving it with the 'ink stone' mined to the bottom of the Nine Shadows, can make up for the lack of human force. Even an ordinary person who has no power to restrain a chicken, after wearing this ink armor, can also have the power of a thousand catties.

At first, the Mo family used this instrument, which really made the Qin State suffer a little. But as these things were gradually valued by the Qin State and began to imitate them, they became a sharp weapon for Great Qin to attack the Six Kingdoms of Kwantung.

This incident was a big violation of the original intention of the Mo family, and the ink armor they made not only could not eliminate the war, but became a tool for the power of various countries, and it became more and more fierce, and it became popular in the Warring States Period.

And because there were many skilled craftsmen at that time, in the last years of the Warring States period, powerful ink armor was constantly born. It also made the ink armor appear several levels.

And what Li Shimin is using now is a more precious general-level battle armor, which is powerful. Ordinary people can wear it and have a strength of up to 3,000 catties! In the hands of a martial artist like Li Shimin, the increase is even greater.

"There is an ambush?" The family general Li Yan looked ahead with a puzzled look, and then a little shame appeared on his old face: "The old man is ashamed!"

He was born in the army in his early years, and was one of the pro-soldier brigade commanders beside Li Xun, the late Duke of Tang and the general of the Zhu State. After Li Xin's death, he was recruited into the Tang Guogong Mansion because of his outstanding ability and became the general of the Tang Guogong.

And this trip to Luliang Mountain was precisely because Tang Guogong saw that he was old and experienced and experienced, so he personally ordered him to accompany him. As a result, the ambush in front of him, an old man in the army, did not notice it, but was seen by the second son.

"Is there an ambush?"

Li Xuanba looked excited, and also took out two purple gold sledgehammers and an iron box from the car. It is two and a half feet wide and long, which is one circle larger than the one Li Shimin took out before. This thing is called the 'ink box', and as the name suggests, it is a tool dedicated to storing and maintaining ink armor.

And as Li Xuanba slapped the 'ink box' away, countless armor leaves and steel parts suddenly swarmed out, constantly rolling and combining on his body.
