"Ling Xiaoyou, the old man has been listening to you talk about gunpowder and gunpowder, and what you say is amazing, but how is this gunpowder made? You know, the Turks came prepared this time, is this thing really as amazing as you say? ”

Ling Xian said confidently.

"Of course, I have worked so hard to figure it out, and we can make improvised explosives by mixing saltpeter, sulphur and charcoal in a ratio of three to two to four."

Everyone was amazed when they heard it, and they all volunteered to collect these three things, and the old marquis Luo was also excited, and took the initiative to take out all his own materials.

Looking at the gunpowder on the ground, everyone's hearts were hot, and they all wanted to try to light it.

The generals turned their heads to Old Marquis Luo, hoping that he would ask Ling Xian to light some in advance, so that they could open their eyes first.

Old Marquis Luo was also curious about the efficacy of this gunpowder, so he said to Ling Xian.

"This ...... Ling Xiaoyou, the old man and many generals in this army have never seen such a divine object, and they are very curious in their hearts, and they don't know ...... I wonder if you can show me a demonstration or two first? It's okay for me to wait and have a good eye-opening. ”

Ling Xian had this intention at this moment, although he had learned this in his previous life, but he didn't have much confidence after the configuration was completely completed at this moment, so he agreed immediately.

I saw him take out a mouthful of cloth, fill it with gunpowder, then put a fuse, and then tie it tightly with a rope to prevent the gunpowder from leaking.

With excitement, he picked up the explosives bag, came to a boulder, put the explosive bag down steadily, and then took out the fire fold and ignited it and threw it towards the explosive bag.

When he was done, he ran away, and when Ling Xian ran away, the lead of the explosives bag was also burned out, just listen to "Bang!" With a loud bang, the explosive pack exploded.

The explosives package also blew apart the boulder on the side, which made Ling Xian feel a pity that the conditions were limited, and he could only make simple gunpowder, which was not powerful enough to blow the boulder directly.

The people on the side didn't have as many requests as Ling Xian.

Old Marquis Luo was the first to react, and laughed with excitement on his face.

At the same moment, everyone on the side was still full of shock, they looked at the cracked boulder in a daze, and only after a long time did they let out a burst of exclamation.

"Good boy! Is this thing gunpowder? Is it so powerful? ”

"It's a sturdy stone! It's cracked like that?! ”

"What do you think it would be like if this gunpowder could even burst stones, and if it was used to blow people?"

Hiss!

Not to mention that it was okay, as soon as everyone said it, the scene of Turkic soldiers flying flesh and blood suddenly appeared in everyone's minds, and they couldn't help but feel a tingling of their scalps.

At the same time, I was also glad in my heart: Fortunately, Ling Gongzi is a person from our side, if it is the other party's person, what is there to fight in that battle, there is no chance of winning at all.

If a bunch of explosives bags are thrown away, won't the war end before it has even begun?

The crowd of people had already begun to see the Turkic soldiers retreat without a fight.

Ling Xian looked at the shocked appearance of everyone, and secretly laughed in his heart: Sure enough, it is an ancient earthen bun, and just a little gunpowder will shock you like this, when the emotional value is enough, I will make a grenade and pop it out, see if I don't scare you to death.

Thinking about it, Ling Xian spoke.

"Okay guys, I don't know the power of this gunpowder, are you still satisfied?"

"Satisfied, satisfied!"

"Of course, I can't be more satisfied!"

"That's it! With this artifact, my Datang sergeant will be able to win a hundred battles, and the casualties will be greatly reduced! ”

Old Marquis Luo also looked at Ling Xian with a smile on his face, and while laughing, he showed the same eyes as his son-in-law.

"If it weren't for the fact that my Luo family has no daughters, I really want to marry my daughter to you, old man!"

As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed.

Ling Xian asked with a puzzled face.

"Why is Old Marquis Luo sighing?"

I saw Old Marquis Luo say with a sad face.

"In the early years, my Youzhou Luo family followed His Majesty to expand the territory, and indulged in the battlefield to be chic and happy, but now it is a pity that it has ended up with no successor, old man, I ...... I hate it! ”

As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Ling Xian with a light in his eyes.

"Ling boy, I heard a few days ago that you are alone, and your parents died early?"

Ling Xian was uncomfortable and replied.

"Yes...... yes, how? Is there something wrong? ”

"Nothing wrong, nothing wrong, hahaha! It's just that I think you're a very good kid, otherwise you'll recognize me as a grandfather today, right? Let the old man also experience the feeling of having a grandson. ”

When Ling Xian heard this, he was moved: It seems that this old marquis Luo is also a lonely person, very pitiful! I'm also lonely and lonely in Chang'an, so it's a good idea to have someone to talk to.

Thinking about it, he knelt down in front of Old Marquis Luo with excitement.

"My grandson has seen my grandfather."

"Huh! Good, good, my good grandson, get up! ”

With three good words in a row, Old Marquis Luo hurriedly helped Ling Xian up.

Ling Xian continued.

"Grandpa, my grandson lives alone in Chang'an, alone, lonely, and now that we have a way to break the enemy, why don't we go back to Chang'an with my grandson after the Turkic problem is solved? In this way, it is also convenient for the grandson to fulfill his filial piety. ”

"Wow, you've got a heart!"

With that, he took Ling Xian's hand and walked towards the barracks, leaving a group of generals to make explosives packets in place.

Changan

Tai Chi Temple

Li Er sat on the dragon chair at the top, his face dignified.

Zhao Yang, the waiter on the side, shouted at the top of his throat.

"If you have something to do, you have nothing to do!"

After speaking, Li Jing, who was wearing a purple national robe, stepped forward quickly and said.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a good song."

"Pharmacist, please." Li Er said.

"In recent days, Turkic activities have become more and more frequent, especially in the border areas, large and small raiding activities have emerged one after another, and the minister is worried that the Turkic dog thieves may have abnormal movements, and the purpose of this time is not simple! The minister implores His Majesty to order, and the quasi-minister will bring 100,000 elite soldiers to quell the Turkic trouble! ”

Wei Zheng, who was on the side, heard this, stepped forward and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, at present, my people in the Tang Dynasty are hungry all day long, and natural disasters have struck, and the agricultural harvest is not as good as before, and they can't withstand the toss of war! The minister thought that the Turkic barbarians only had gold and silver treasures in their eyes, and we only needed to give them some, and we would be able to turn hostilities into jade silks, and turn big things into small ones, without starting wars and causing misery to the souls. ”

Li Jing was furious when he heard this.

"Old Pifu Wei! What do you mean?! The Turks are so arrogant that we still have to swallow our anger and bow down to them?! ”

"Those who know the times are Junjie, at the moment our army does not have the ability to fight against the Turks, a temporary compromise is the best way, do you still want to break the net?"

"Enough!"

Li Er on the dragon chair slapped the armrest.

"I asked you to go to court to report the situation! What kind of system is it to be so noisy! ”

When Wei Zheng heard this, his face remained unchanged at all, and he arched his hand and retreated to the civil official ranks.

"Humph!"

Li Jing also snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves fiercely, and retreated to the team.

"Now that I have ascended the throne as the emperor, I naturally want to think about the people, the Turkic dog thieves were just small fights before, presumably there will be no big moves this time, don't worry about it for now."

"Your Majesty!"

Li Jing wanted to say something more, but when he saw Li Er waving his hand, he had no choice but to give up.

After the early dynasty, Li Er had dinner with the courtiers and talked about a lot of affairs.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji on the side came to Li Er's side and asked in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, you are so busy with the affairs of the DPRK and China, have you forgotten something important?"

Li Er was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked curiously.

"Oh? What have I forgotten? ”

"Ling Xian, Your Majesty! Didn't you give him a marriage and ask him to marry Princess Changle within a week? ”

"Huh? That's right, if you don't say that I forgot, isn't this kid Ling Xian quite capable of tossing? Why haven't you heard from him for the past few days? ”

"The minister is not very clear, it is better to ...... Later, Huichen accompanied His Majesty to take a look at how Ling Xian was prepared? ”

"Well, that's fine, I married my most beloved daughter to him this time, and I want to see how much he takes this matter."

The eldest grandson Wuji said yes again and again.

After a while, breakfast was over, and the officials were still working, and it was time to go home, and the eldest grandson Wuji followed Li Er to the gate of Ling Xian's courtyard.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Li Er frowned.

"Auxiliary, what time is it? Why is this kid's courtyard door still closed? is so lazy at a young age, how can I rest assured that I will marry my daughter to him? ”

"This ...... I don't know. ”

At this time, the courtyard door next to Ling Xian suddenly opened, and I saw a white-haired old lady walking out of the door, carrying a vegetable basket in her hand, looking like she was going to buy vegetables.

Li Er was traveling in casual clothes at this time, and the eldest grandson Wuji also changed out of his official uniform, so the old lady didn't recognize their identities, and when she saw that the two of them were now in front of Ling Xian's mansion, she stepped forward and said with a smile.

"You're here to find Ling Gongzi, right?"

Datang respects the elderly the most, and the two of them don't put on a show, nodding again and again.

Seeing this, the old lady continued.

"You're late! Ling Gongzi went to our neighbors' houses a few days ago and told them that they were young and promising, and they made great contributions at a young age, and they were made officials, and I heard that the salt in everyone's house is now made by him, and he left four days ago, and now, it is estimated that he is inspecting in Youzhou City! No, the vegetable basket in my hand was given by Ling Gongzi before he left, and it can't be broken, but it's easy to use! ”

As he spoke, he walked towards Higashi.

When Li Er heard this, his eyes immediately widened.

"What? Went to Youzhou? Isn't Youzhou in the midst of war?! ”

He turned his head to look at the eldest grandson Wuji, but saw that he was also at a loss.

Li Eryi slapped his head and shouted.

"It's over the calf, I'm joking big this time!"

After a long time, he sighed heavily.

"Alas, I hope that kid doesn't run into Turkic soldiers along the way, if something goes wrong with him, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life!"

The eldest grandson Wuji comforted him again and again.

Li Er waved his hand, then got into the carriage and went back to the palace.
