Chapter 42: Testing the Power
Early the next morning, Qin Shaochu took Chen Er's Zhuge Repeater and went to Li Shimin's Taiji Palace, Qin Shaochu waited for him outside the Taiji Hall when Chen Er took Zhuge Repeater, and then Qin Shaochu walked in.
Qin Shaochu walked into the Taiji Hall and saw Li Shimin sitting on the dragon chair, so he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Qin Shaochu, a micro-minister, has seen Your Majesty. ”
Li Shimin saw Qin Shaochu's arrival and nodded: "Qin Aiqing get up quickly, I don't know how Qin Aiqing is in good health now?" ”
Qin Shaochu heard Li Shimin's concern, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Lao is worried, Weichen is almost in good health now." ’
Li Shimin nodded; "Oh, Qin Aiqing is injured and should be recuperating at home, why did you come here?"
Qin Shaochu said: "Your Majesty, the minister has been cultivating at home for the past few days, and he has invented a gadget and specially sent it to His Majesty. ”
When Li Shimin heard what Qin Shaochu said, he was slightly curious in his heart, "Oh, Qin Aiqing, I don't know what gadgets you brought, bring them up and show them to me." ’
Qin Shaochu quickly asked Chen Er to bring him up, and then took the Zhuge Repeater on Chen's second-hand, lifted the cloth, and revealed the appearance of the Zhuge Repeater. When Cheng Yanjin saw the appearance of this Zhuge crossbow, he hurriedly stepped forward and said to Qin Shaochu: "Dean Qin, is this a crossbow?" ’
Qin Shaochu heard Cheng Yanjin's inquiry and nodded; "Yes, Lu Guogong, this is a crossbow, but I call it Zhuge Repeater." Cheng Yanjin whispered "Zhuge Repeater, Zhuge Repeater," and then continued to ask: "Then I don't know how powerful this is?" ”
Qin Shaochu smiled slightly: "Lu Guogong, the power of this Zhuge crossbow, we can find a place to test it." Your Majesty, what do you think? ”
Li Shimin looked at the Zhuge Repeater in Qin Shaochu's hand, and was also very curious about the power of this crossbow in his heart, so he immediately said, "Okay, go outside the Taiji Palace, Qin Aiqing, you shoot it yourself, and show me the power of this Zhuge Repeater." ”
Qin Shaochu saluted, "Yes, Your Majesty"
When Li Shimin, Qin Shaochu and others came to the outside of this Taiji Palace, Qin Shaochu asked people to move a big stone, and then let people leave, Qin Shaochu began to aim and shoot, and with a whoosh, he saw that the arrow feather was shot on the stone, and a small hole appeared in the stone, and then the arrow feather flew to the wall in the distance.
Li Shimin and the others were slightly stunned when they saw this power, and then Li Shimin laughed heartily, "Haha, okay, good, Qin Aiqing, you said this is a gadget, but I don't think it's it, this is clearly a surprise for me." Ha ha. ”
Qin Shaochu heard Li Shimin's words, and said with a salute: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the prosperity of my Tang Dynasty, it is incumbent on my ministers. ”
Cheng Yanjin saw that Qin Shaochu was still talking to Li Shimin, and he was a little anxious. He looked hesitant.
Li Shimin soon saw Cheng Biting Jin's appearance, "What, Lu Guogong,"
Cheng Yanjin saw Li Shimin's inquiry, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, look, can this Zhuge crossbow be rewarded to Weichen, so that Weichen can be used to strengthen the strength of our army." ’
When Li Shimin heard this, he was slightly stunned, and hurriedly took the Zhuge Repeater in Qin Shaochu's hand, and then said: "Hehe, Qin Aiqing sent it to me at this time, if you want it, then look for Qin Aiqing." ”
Cheng Yanjin heard Li Shimin's words, and hurriedly said to Qin Shaochu, Qin Shaochu looked at Li Shimin's appearance, and felt a little funny in his heart, and then saw Cheng Yanjin asking himself, so he said: "Lu Guogong, don't worry, when I go back, I will hand over the production process to you." You can rest assured. ”
When Cheng Yanjin heard this, he nodded with a smile.
Li Shimin waited for the two of them to finish speaking, and then said to Qin Shaochu: "Qin Aiqing, say it, what reward do you want?"
Qin Shaochu looked around and found that Li Daozong was not here, so he told Li Shimin about his encounter with the assassin and the speculation in his heart.
After listening to Qin Shaochu's words, Li Shimin was silent for a moment, and then said, "Qin Aiqing, is there any evidence?" ”.
Qin Shaochu shook his head, "Your Majesty, Weichen is just guessing, but as long as Weichen catches the people of the Cui family, there must be an answer to everything." ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he took the Zhuge crossbow and slowly walked towards the Taiji Palace, saying as he walked; "Oh, the power of this Zhuge repeater is really strong, I have to study it carefully these days." ’
Qin Shaochu was slightly stunned when he saw this, and then Wei Zheng stepped forward and saw Qin Shaochu stunned, so he said, "What, Dean Qin, Your Majesty has agreed, you can go and arrest someone." ”
When Qin Shaochu heard Wei Zheng's words, he immediately reacted, then said thank you to Wei Zheng and left here. Cheng Yanjin watched Qin Shaochu leave and followed.
Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and saw Wei Zheng coming in, so he said, "How is it, is Qin Aiqing gone?" Wei Zheng nodded, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen told Dean Qin." ”
"Okay, you can step down too."
"Yes, Your Majesty"
Hey, hey, Dean Qin, etc. Wait a minute
Qin Shaochu heard someone calling him behind him, so he turned around and saw Cheng Yanjin coming over, slightly curious: "Lu Guogong, what's wrong, is there something wrong with you?" ”
Cheng Yanjin heard Qin Shaochu's words: "Hey, Dean Qin, you said that you would hand over the production method of the Zhuge Repeater to me." ”
As soon as Qin Shaochu heard this, he said to Cheng Yanjin: "Lu Guogong, don't worry, when I go back, I will write to you." ’
"Alright, let's go together."
Soon, Qin Shaochu took Cheng Yanjin back to the house, and when Cheng Yanjin entered Qin Shaochu's house, he saw Duan Qiuyue playing with a little girl, he was stunned for a moment, and then gave Qin Shaochu a thumbs up.
Qin Shaochu saw Cheng biting Jin's action, and black lines couldn't help but rise on his face. "Lu Guogong, you are like this, I won't hand over the method of the 2 Zhuge Repeater to you."
As soon as Cheng Yanjin heard this, he quickly withdrew his thumb and laughed. Duan Qiuyue heard the laughter and saw that Qin Shaochu had returned to the mansion with Cheng Yanjin, and felt a little strange in her heart, and then came to Cheng Yanjin and saluted, "Lu Guogong." ”
Cheng Yanjin looked at Duan Qiuyue and nodded, "Well, Niece Duan, I haven't seen you go to our army for a long time, but I didn't expect you to appear in this Dean Qin's mansion now." ”
Duan Qiuyue's face turned slightly red when she heard Cheng Biting Jin's words, then looked at Qin Shaochu, stepped on Qin Shaochu's foot, and ran away.
Qin Shaochu was stepped on by Duan Qiuyue's foot, and shouted in his heart, "What do you care about me." ”
Cheng Yanjin looked at Duan Qiuyue, then at Qin Shaochu, nodded, and said in a low voice: "Dean Qin, when I saw Duan's niece before, there were few people in our army who were her opponents, but I didn't expect to be subdued by you now, not bad, not bad." ’
When Qin Shaochu heard this, he was silent. Then I found a few pieces of rice paper, and painted the production process of the Zhuge repeater on it, which took more than an hour. Then it was handed over to Cheng Yanjin.
Cheng Yanjin took the rice paper, looked at it, and then nodded, "Dean Qin, you are so powerful, if there is anything in the future, you will come to the elder brother, and the elder brother will definitely help you." ”
Qin Shaochu nodded. "Then thank you, brother."
