Luo Cheng's eyes were slightly cold, and he said loudly: "Exactly, this time is not as simple as before." ”

The army was reorganized, and many orders were sent to the Quartet.

Including Luo Cheng ordered the anti-king to recruit migrant workers to escort grain and grass, and cooperated with all parties on the way to march into Chang'an.

Yao Ping, who was based in Luoyang, was also given orders, and they were ready to wait for the arrival of the army. After the meeting, they will reach Tongguan and even Chang'an with lightning speed.

The cold and murderous aura has spread to all sides, and they all know that this battle will decide where the world belongs. No matter who wins or loses, it is no less than a major earthquake.

Of course, as long as you are a discerning person, you can see which side has a better chance of winning. Yan Yun's troops are bound to sweep the Quartet, and although Li Tang is strong, he is unbearable.

……

At the same time, Li Yuan, who was in Chang'an, also reacted.

In the palace, Li Yuan sat on a dragon chair, and in front of him were several ministers who were close to him.

The pressure from Yan Yun is getting bigger and bigger, and Li Yuan is already difficult to be stable, although he has prepared as much as possible, Li Yuan is still not absolutely sure.

"Yesterday, there was news that Yan Yun dispatched troops and recruited people, presumably the day of the war is not far away. This is the time when my Datang is at stake, and you must not slack off. Li Yuan said in a solemn tone.

Although Li Yuan knew that these ministers would most likely not be able to come up with any useful words. But at this time, he must calm everyone's emotions, otherwise the chaos will come from the inside and out, which is not what Li Yuan wants to see.

Slowly exhaling a breath of turbidity, Li Yuan asked loudly: "Yan Yun is aggressive, I have already mobilized troops and horses, this battle is related to the survival of the Tang Dynasty, you are all important ministers, how can you be spared?" ”

The meaning of Li Yuan's words is obvious, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, if something happens to him, everyone here will not be able to escape. If there is any countermeasure, it is better to tell us as soon as possible.

The ministers looked at each other and didn't know how to reply for a while.

Seeing this scene, Li Yuan knew that he was thinking too much, and instead of counting on these people, it was better to think about it himself. It is better to ask for others than for yourself, once this situation is not dealt with well, it will be really cool.

It was Li Yuan who shook his head slightly, waved his hand and dispersed the ministers, and closed his eyes and groaned.

But to his surprise, the ministers left one after another, but there was still one person left in the main hall, and said to Li Yuan: "Report to Your Majesty, Weichen has a secret matter." ”

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised, what secret thing couldn't be revealed in front of everyone?

But after thinking about it, Li Yuan nodded slightly, and said loudly: "Oh, what is Bi Aiqing's matter?" There are no idle people here, Aiqing said that it is okay, don't worry. ”

In addition to Li Yuan and the minister named Bi Liang, there were only a few personal guards present. Although Li Yuan trusted these ministers, it was impossible for him to completely entrust his safety to them.

Bi Liang bowed his head when he heard this, and replied: "Your Majesty, Wechen recruited a doorman a few days ago, and his identity was quite secret, and Wechen didn't know the details, so he sent people to inquire in many ways. ”

Li Yuan frowned, revealing a thoughtful look, but he didn't interrupt. Instead, he listened intently, what did Bi Liang want to say, and what did it have to do with the next big war?

This Bi Liang also understood Li Yuan's thoughts, and quickly said: "After Wei Chen's investigation and inquiry, his identity was finally clarified, and it turned out that this person turned out to be a Qin criminal who Yang Guang chased and fled. ”

"What, how could this person be Yang Guang's prisoner, is there any secret in it?" Li Yuan's expression was slightly startled, he vaguely guessed something, but it was not clear.

Bi Liang nodded and replied, "Previously, when Weichen first learned the news, he was also very surprised. He was first detained, and then interrogated many times, and finally the situation was clarified. ”

After a short period of silence, Bi Liang continued: "It turns out that this person knows a secret recipe, and it is precisely for this reason that he was hunted down by Yang Guang as a prisoner, and he has been incognito to this day, wanting to serve His Majesty. ”

was said by Bi Liang, Li Yuan understood what he meant, it turned out that this person was here to defect to himself. Thinking about this joint, Li Yuan suddenly became enlightened.

But Li Yuan still had questions, his eyes turned slightly, and a faint sense of oppression came, and he said in a deep voice: "What secrets does this person know that attracted Yang Guangda Fei Zhouzhang?" ”

Bi Liang didn't dare to delay, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty should have heard that Yang Guang designed Yangzhou in the past, and wanted to frame the anti-king of the world by competing for the martial champion!" ”

Hearing this, Li Yuan suddenly had some doubts, could it be that this person still had something to do with this matter, so he nodded lightly.

Bi Liang continued: "The secret that this person knows is related to this Yangzhou martial arts. When he set a trap in Yang Guang, he didn't know what was buried, which was not only like thunder, but also infinitely powerful. ”

Li Yuan suddenly brightened, his eyes were blazing, and he said: "I see, I have also heard of this matter, what is this thing, it has such great power, does this person know that the formula is not successful?" ”

There is no doubt that this matter is important, and it is Li Yuan who asks one after another. Bi Liang did not dare to be disobedient, and replied repeatedly: "What Your Majesty said is very true, according to what he said, this thing is called gunpowder, and once ignited, it will have the power of earth-shattering ghosts and gods. ”

Hearing this, Li Yuan's eyes couldn't help but light up, he couldn't imagine that there was such a magical thing, could it be that God helped him to defeat the Yanyun thief and unify the world?

But there are still some problems, Li Yuan looked at Bi Liang and said: "Since this matter is so urgent, why did Aiqing only come to report it at this moment, can the news of this formula be leaked?" ”

Bi Liang's face changed slightly, this matter is related to Li Tang's life and death, and Li Yuan's performance is reasonable. But this is a bit embarrassing, once the answer is not in line with Li Yuan's wishes, I am afraid that it will be a catastrophe.

Bi Liang hurriedly replied: "It's not that Weichen didn't report it, but he didn't know about it before, and he only knew about it today." As for the recipe, it was not leaked, and this person kept his mouth shut very strictly, refusing to reveal anything before meeting His Majesty. ”

Hearing this, Li Yuan's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about whether it was true or false. After groaning, Li Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Oh, I naturally trust Bi Aiqing, since this person wants to see me, invite him!" ”

This is Li Yuan's order, and there is no room for Bi Liang's disobedience, and he respectfully surrenders his hand. In his opinion, as long as this matter is done well, there must be a credit to him.

Bi Liang took the order and left, Li Yuan was still sitting high, he didn't move like a sculpture. Looking at the empty hall and falling into thought, this is really a godsend.

If this person hadn't appeared, I'm afraid Li Yuan would still be terrified.

But after knowing the existence of gunpowder, Li Yuan's performance was already very different. He was even able to use this thing to fight back, so that Luo Cheng, who had no one in his eyes, knew what despair was.
