Cheng Biting Jin's slightly fox-smelling armpits are not as powerful as thunderbolts, but Wang Xingxin would rather be killed by a hundred thunderbolts than be smoked to death by the smell of his armpits.

I wanted to take a few deep breaths of fresh air, but I was choked by the strong smell of gunsmoke and coughed. Wang Xingxin, who recovered after a while, pointed to the devastated production area and said to Li Er proudly: "Your Majesty, you see that this is the power of the real thunderbolt, if it weren't for the minister's promise not to hurt a single soldier of the Xuanjia Army, do you say that General Zhai and the 1,000 Xuanjia Army are still there now?" ”

Then he looked up at the sky sadly and said: "War is a matter of life and death, and it is a matter that cannot be left behind, and the minister really has no choice but to act like this!" ”

At this time, Zhai Changsun, who came over, also looked at the site after the explosion in amazement, and he seemed to have some disbelief that everything in front of him was caused by that inconspicuous small jar.

After rubbing his eyes, pinching his thighs and a series of actions, he was sure that everything in front of him was caused by the explosion of the small jar, so he knelt down on one knee and said to Li Er: "Your Majesty, the minister has lost, please ask Your Majesty to punish the crime!" ”

Li Er motioned to Zhai Changsun to get up and whispered to him: "You are not guilty, although I have seen the rockery blown up, but these thousands of people threw thunderbolts, I really didn't expect it to be so powerful!" The Xuanjia army is not unjustly lost! If my Datang army is equipped with this sharp weapon, who is the enemy of my Datang in the world! Zhai Changsun, you are so good to comfort those Xuanjia soldiers, don't let them have a knot in their hearts! ”

After Zhai Changsun received the order to retreat, Li Er pointed to Wang Xingxin with a happy face and said, "Ming Shen, you already knew that this thunderbolt you made had such power, didn't you?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is a ball! This is just a gadget, at most it is a big firecracker, if you give the minister a few decades of time, and with a skilled craftsman, hehe, the minister can drum out a cannon! ”

Li Eryi heard that this extremely powerful thunderbolt was actually a gadget in the eyes of Wang Xingxin, and he could still make something called a cannon, presumably that power ......

"Ming Shen, how powerful is the cannon you are talking about?"

"Your Majesty, this cannon, it will take at least a few miles to hit it, and then it will explode on the ground, and the power of a cannonball will be at least as big as ten thunderbolts gathered together, even if our Chang'an City can't withstand many cannons, it will be blown down!"

Li Eryi heard that even the incomparably strong Chang'an City couldn't withstand many cannons, so he grabbed Wang Xingxin and said sharply: "You might do it?" Why not do it sooner! You shaft, do you really want me to cut you? ”

Wang Xingxin, who was a little breathless by Li Er, struggled and said: "The minister said, this cannon has to take decades to make, and there are many skilled craftsmen, but now it can't be done." ”

Li Eryi said with great regret when he heard it: "This cannon just don't mention it to anyone!" You go back to the palace with me, and I have something to explain to you. ”

Let Qin Huaidao be responsible for cleaning up the venue after the martial arts performance, and Wang Xingxin followed Li Er's team to Taiji Palace. A group of civil and military ministers who accompanied him were also left a lot by Li Er.

When they arrived at the Taiji Palace, Wang Xingxin saw that Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin and others also followed, and he was relieved in his heart.

After everyone gave Li Er a salute, Li Er looked around and said: "Today, all of you Aiqing have seen the power of this thunderbolt, this matter is the top secret of my Datang, if someone leaks the secret, the Yi clan!" ”

Li Er looked at everyone and solemnly agreed, then continued: "Regarding the rebellion of the native people in Manzhou, I want to take Zhijie as the main commander, and Wang Xingxin, Bo of Lantian County, is the deputy marshal and leads the new army led by the first Wuwei and the Bo of Lantian County to quell the rebellion, I don't know what Zhu Qing wants?" ”

When Wei Chi Jingde heard that he was going to take Cheng Biting Jin as the commander, he jumped out very unconvinced and said: "Your Majesty, although Zhijie is very brave, but it is slightly inferior to the minister, it is better to let the minister take those little babies to quell the rebellion!" ”

"What? Lao Hei, you said that the old man is slightly inferior to you? Why don't we compare in front of Your Majesty! Whoever wins is the handsome! Saying that, Cheng Yanjin rolled up his sleeves and was about to try it out with Yu Chi Jingde.

Li Er, who was about to make a fuss, shouted angrily: "Enough! All of them are back down, do you think this is child's play? Give me some points!"

After retiring the two brave generals who wanted to compete in martial arts, Li Er glanced around the Wenchen below, and Wei Zheng came out of the squad and said, "Your Majesty, can the new army bring a thunderbolt and a sharp weapon?" ”

"Belt, this thunderbolt looks very powerful, but it's best to test it before the battle!"

"Since the new army has that thunderbolt, the minister has no objection!"

Even Wei Zheng, the old thorn who picks the bones in the egg, has no objection, and the others have no objection, and Li Er was about to make a decision when a voice came.

"The minister has an objection!"

Li Eryi saw that the person who had objections was actually Wang Xingxin, so he asked, "Ming Shen, what objections do you have to be the deputy marshal?" Do you want to be the boss? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister didn't mean that, the minister just wanted to be not even the deputy marshal!"

"Why?"

"The minister doesn't know any martial arts, and the minister doesn't know the art of war! Not to mention being a deputy, even if you are a captain with soldiers, it is still the old saying that you will be incompetent and tired to the death of the three armies, and it is better for the minister to be the chief medical officer of the wounded barracks! ”

After listening to this prevarication, Li Er first smiled, and then said lightly: "If you still let your uncle be the chief medical officer of the wounded barracks, wouldn't it be useless to make the world laugh and know?" You'd better be your lieutenant marshal honestly, don't think I don't know your thoughts. ”

After speaking, he said to Cheng Yanjin: "Zhijie, since you are the commander, if this kid retreats from the battle, or pretends to be sick and does not obey orders, etc., you will be dealt with in accordance with military law, I will take back what I said to you before, this kid is disobedient, you can beat it!" ”

When Cheng Yanjin heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "Your Majesty Shengming! The minister must take a good look at this bastard boy! ”

It's over, it's over, not only did I not get a good errand but I also got myself into it, and now my ass is going to suffer again! According to the temperament of the old goblin, I am afraid that if it is not as good as he wants, he will be served by the military stick.

Wang Xingxin, who was dejected, bowed his head and said nothing, drawing small circles on the ground with his feet, not knowing who he was cursing.

After drawing a small circle for a while, Wang Xingxin saw that the curse had no effect, so he spoke: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, the minister has something to ask for, if Your Majesty does not allow it, the minister will take fifty boards by himself now and go back to the house to recuperate!" If you can't go home, you can go to the prison of Dali Temple! ”

Li Er saw that this kid was actually playing a scoundrel in front of him, so he smiled and said: "Say it, if it's unreasonable, don't talk about hitting fifty boards, even five hundred, you have to go to that barbarian state to quell my rebellion!" ”

"There are no big requirements, that is, can you let the minister go with those craftsmen, and you have to allow the minister to sit in the carriage, if you ride a horse, the minister will not die!"

After listening to these two requests, Li Er listened to Qin Qiong before he could speak: "Ming Shen, how can anyone who is a general in the army sit in a carriage?" Aren't you fooling around? Don't say that Your Majesty doesn't agree, that is, Your Majesty agrees to your request, and the old man doesn't agree either! Do you still look like a soldier? ”

Li Er also nodded after listening to Qin Qiong's words: "What Uncle Bao said is extremely true, I can't agree to your request, but the craftsman can bring as much as you want!" I know that you treat those craftsmen very well, and I believe that those craftsmen can make sharp weapons like thunderbolts! However, this counterinsurgency is not a child's play like today's martial arts, you have to listen to all the military orders of the festival, don't come nonsense! ”

Wang Xingxin was about to go crazy when he heard this, this barbarian state is located at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan, and it is a place where Han and Miao live together, and the local natives are mostly Miao people who are very brave.

The road to Manzhou is very difficult and difficult, and it is better to go to Hexi to fight the Turks last time! In addition, it is a summer march again, and it is estimated that you can grind your ass in less than a few hundred miles on horseback!

Just as he racked his brains to ask Li Er and Qin Qiong to agree to him to make a carriage, he suddenly saw Cheng Yanjin winking at him, and then Wang Xingxin pretended to be helpless and said: "Since this is the case, the minister has no objection!" ”

After leaving the Taiji Palace, Wang Xingxin did not return to the new barracks, but returned to the Earl's Mansion where he had a new plaque.

After taking a good bath under the service of Changsun Xiu and Sijiao, wearing a specially modified home clothes and lying on the rocking chair, Wang Xingxin asked Sijiao to step back and leave Changsun Xiu alone: "Xiu'er, my brother will go on the expedition in three days, and everything in the family will be handed over to you, but it's not a big deal, everything has Qin Yong, and Uncle Qin is nearby with so many Xuanjia troops." ”

"Husband, Xiu'er is just worried about you, I heard that the land of the barbarian state is very poor, the people are fierce, and this summer is even hotter! This time, the husband will suffer a lot of crimes when he goes to quell the rebellion as the deputy marshal. ”

"Humph! Xiu'er, you are a penitent husband looking for a marquis! Is Uncle Ben the kind of gentleman who can't endure hardships and can't offend? You underestimate your husband too much! ”

It's pretending!

With a smile, he looked at Changsun Xiu's teachable look and said: "However, I don't know how many months my husband will come back, and the military array is very dangerous, Your Majesty also pities our newlywed Yan'er to allow Uncle Ben to go to the military camp the day before the expedition." In order to ensure that your husband can protect himself before the battle, it is better for you and me to practice marksmanship diligently in the past two days! The important thing is that if it is a shot, maybe the day when the husband returns victoriously will be a new father! When the time comes, our Earl's Court will be double happy......"
