Seeing Li Zheng looking at him strangely, Li Ji avoided his eyes and said, "Stinky boy, what are you looking at me like this." ”

Li Zheng sighed and said, "General, you have been following me for a long time. ”

Li Ji cleared his throat and said, "The old man will just walk around." ”

"General, I'm your adjutant general, please say it directly."

"Then the old man said it." Li Ji slapped the table and said, "Knife!" ”

"Knives?" Li Zheng asked curiously, "What knife?" ”

Li Ji whispered: "Treasure knife." ”

"Treasure Knife?"

Li Zheng gasped, "I can't use a knife." ”

"The stinky boy still pretends to be stupid to the old man, isn't he?"

"There's really no knife down there."

Li Ji leaned in and whispered: "Yesterday, Cheng Biting Jin, an old horseman, presented a treasure knife to His Majesty, which is incomparably sharp, and even the current horizontal knife does not dare to compete with the new knife, it is said that this knife was created by you Li Zheng." ”

Li Zheng nodded secretly.

Li Ji said again: "What about the knife? ”

"It's gone." Li Zhengyi spread his hands and said.

Li Ji's heart tightened, and a mouthful of soup almost squirted out again, "What do you mean it's gone?" ”

Li Zheng said: "There is only one." ”

"A handful?"

Li Jiyi stomped his feet and said: "It's a pity, how did such a good knife give Cheng Yanjin, how does this old man know the magic of this kind of knife, if this knife is changed to a Da Mo knife, in the future, the army will use this Da Mo knife to rush into battle, and it will be blind." ”

"Is that so?"

Li Ji nodded, "I remember that the old man asked you at the beginning, and you said that you don't understand wrought iron." ”

Li Zheng nodded, "I remember." ”

Li Ji asked again: "Since you said that you couldn't forge iron, how can you create such a divine weapon now." ”

"This ......" Li Zheng hesitated for a while and explained, "I didn't know it before, and then I accidentally learned it." ”

"You've learned it in less than three months?"

"If you're not careful, you learn it by accident." Li Zheng explained while nodding.

Li Ji smiled coldly, "You pretend again?" ”

"I didn't pretend, I really didn't know how to wrough iron before."

"Then you tell the old man, how did the old man accidentally learn the forging method of your divine weapon."

"It can be a little hard." Li Zheng pondered again and again.

"It is the time for the DPRK to employ people, if Li Zheng has any good skills, don't hide it, and don't forget that you are the deputy general of the Long Wu Army."

Li Zheng hurriedly saluted and said, "Keep in mind the general's teachings. ”

"Hmm." Li Ji nodded and said, "What's the good thing next time......

"Be sure to give us Long Wujun first." Li Zheng said immediately.

Li Ji nodded with satisfaction.

"What about the knife?" Li Ji asked again.

"The sword is even, it all depends on fate." Li Zheng said with emotion: "Since ancient times, the birth of divine weapons and sharp weapons depends on fate. ”

"Really?" Li Ji hesitated and said, "The old man just doesn't want to make it." ”

"Well, it was seen through by the general." Li Zheng said.

"So what about the knife?"

"There's no iron." Li Zheng hesitated and said, "It takes a lot of iron to build this kind of weapon, and it needs good hematite, and the general also knows that good iron is hard to find." ”

Li Ji said: "Don't worry, there is iron in the army!" ”

After speaking, Li Ji stood up and said, "The old man is going to the army." ”

After Li Ji left, Li Tai returned.

Li Tai said anxiously: "Li Zheng, when are you going to make a few more new knives like that." ”

Li Zheng sighed and said, "I can't make it." ”

"Why?"

"I don't want to make it."

“……”

Li Taiyi stomped his feet and said anxiously: "Li Zheng, if you make more new knives like this, your father will definitely reward you." ”

"Okay, I'll try it hard."

"Great!"

Li Tai nodded happily.

Li Tai is the prince, and Li Ji is also Li Shimin's general.

Li Tai has a father-son relationship with Li Shimin, so he will naturally help his father.

Li Ji is because of loyalty, and loyalty is a label in this era this time.

More often than not, loyalty has become a standard of choice for courtiers to kings.

As a courtier, you must be absolutely loyal to the emperor.

Li Zheng doesn't like this kind of loyalty very much, and if you really want to say that loyalty is just an adjective, not a criterion.

At present, Li Zheng feels that he does not intend to be loyal to Li Shimin.

I can't mention my loyalty to Li Shimin at all, and Li Zheng is very repulsive to such loyalty from the bottom of my heart.

There is no such thing as loyalty, there is only eternal interest.

The premise of obedience to others is that you need to get enough benefits.

The strength to compete with the emperor is not enough.

At least not now.

In the next few days, Li Zheng has been busy working on the farm, renovating the pigsty of the farm, and is building a drainage channel.

Farms often have puddles, need to do a good job of drainage measures, if there is frequent water accumulation in the farm, it is easy to breed bacteria.

Li Ji brought more than 10,000 catties of iron materials, and these iron materials were temporarily stored.

Five days have passed, Li Zheng has not been to the blacksmith shop at all, and the three brothers of Tie Da will not make new knives without Li Zheng's instructions, and now they are concentrating on the construction of the tricycle with Yan Liben.

Li Shimin listened to Wang Ding's report and asked, "According to what you say, Li Zheng didn't take my words to heart at all, did he?" ”

Wang Ding replied in a low voice: "Maybe Li Zheng is too busy." ”

"What can he do!" Li Shimin said angrily: "He is resisting the decree." ”

Wang Ding said again: "Maybe the county marquis has some troubles." ”

Li Shimin didn't have the heart to review the recital, looking at the blue sky outside and pondering.

Half a month has passed, and the drainage channel of the farm has been built.

Li Zheng asked people to check the roof again to prevent water leakage when it rained.

Dahu caught a few wild pheasants, and Li Zheng set up a fire to roast and eat them.

Three pheasants are hung on a fire rack with bamboo poles, and carefully roasted until they are evenly heated.

Wait until medium rare, sprinkle with some paprika and coat with some sauce.

"Is it cooked?"

"Not yet." Li was busy applying sauce, and when he heard the voice, he thought it was not the voice of the big tiger, nor did it look like Li Ji's voice.

Looking back mechanically, it was Li Shimin with a black face.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Zheng, this kid was still a little surprised, pretending to be confused?

Li Shimin said again: "Do you really have to put a knife on your neck so that you can obediently make a new knife." ”

Li Zheng laughed dryly and said, "Has Your Majesty eaten?" ”

"Nope!" Li Shimin said shamelessly.

Li Zheng ripped off a chicken wing and said, "The chicken wings should be ready to be cooked and eaten." ”

Li Shimin took Li Zheng's chicken wings and took a bite, and it was strange that they were delicious.
