Chapter 271: Gift to Li Er
Shi Lei specially selected two majestic takin to be responsible for pulling the cart, since Li Er was talking about two carts of gifts, Shi Lei strictly controlled the gifts in these two carts, but from the cart puller, to everything on the car, even including the car itself, are just gifts.

It seems a little unreasonable for a mount like the golden takin not to be sent to the palace to be a mount for the emperor. These two four-wheeled carriages made of golden silk nanmu are also full of royal bearing, and it is just right to send them to Li Eryong, and the cautious emperor of the province is very hot.
Recently, Shi Lei's takin and four-wheeled carriage have been out of the limelight, and those famous nobles in Chang'an City, whether they are marrying a daughter-in-law, marrying a daughter, or simply continuing the strings themselves, have not dispatched this coquettish wedding team, which is more popular than the wedding team composed of top supercars in later generations.
It's just that after seeing it too many times, such a scene can't attract the attention of Chang'an people too much.
They are proud of the imperial capital, when they see them once or twice, and when they see them three or four times, can they still be counted on, like uninformed hillbillies, watching endlessly.
That's too underestimating their vision, the well-informed Chang'an people are not shallow people.
This time when I entered the palace, in addition to my own local products, which were nominally the main gifts sent on this trip, there must be formic acid and explosive beetles that Li Er specially named.
In addition, the leather jackets and down jackets carefully made by their own farmers are also included, and it is about to get cold, which is also a heart.
In addition, according to Li Er's requirements, Shi Lei also needs to show his eagle training skills, and Shi Lei will definitely bring Yanying Huangtian with him.
However, these are still secondary, and the surprise that Shi Lei really prepared was not these valuable things, but a priceless technology.
Although Shi Lei still has a Praetorian Guard on him, it is a pity that he only takes wages and does not work, and the guards in the palace do not tell him anything at all.
The search is called a strict, and all kinds of corners and corners are not spared. The carriage, in particular, was turned up and down, inside and out.
Even so, he still gave Shi Lei's weapon, just leaving him a waist knife around his waist, which can be regarded as respect for a martial artist.
Shi Lei has long been mentally prepared for this, and he will not be unhappy because of their duties.
This is the imperial city, the lifeblood of the empire, and it is normal to be strict.
The level of this inspection is not as strict as that of some public transportation places in later generations.
At least Shi Lei still has something to do in his hands, so he won't rely on a nail clipper to break into the palace alone.
Shi Lei is still full of curiosity about this Tang Palace, he submitted an application through Li Chengqian and them early, and was summoned with Li Er's approval.
After coming to the palace, he had to go through the communication and obtain the qualifications to be received, so he had this opportunity, and after the inspection, he really met Li Er.
This is not like the later generations, like many protagonists of time-traveling novels, entering and exiting the palace, just like going to a relative's house, Li Er will treat you as close as his own son at every turn.
You must know that even if it is Li Chengqian, it does not mean that if you want to see Li Er, you can see it at any time.
Li Er in the imperial city is more of an emperor, the decision-maker of the entire Tang Empire, and has a more businesslike attitude, what he wants is the majesty of the emperor, and everything must be done according to the rules.
This is not like going to the Cheng family, or going to other old ministers' houses, talking more about brotherhood and comradeship.
At that time, he was more like a gentle elder and more humane.
didn't let Shi Lei wait too long, Li Er met him in a side hall.
It seemed that he had just finished discussing something important, and Li Er looked a little tired. You must know that he is usually energetic and rarely shows fatigue.
"What gifts did you bring, and it's worth it for the prince to tell me, do you need me to come and see it?" Li Er smiled at Shi Lei and asked.
Being able to take some time out of his busy schedule to look at the so-called gifts brought by Shi Lei shows that he is actually quite attentive to these things.
"It's all some souvenirs that the kid brought from Yazhou. I haven't sent some to Your Majesty, and I'm always upset.
I deliberately picked out a few more things today, which are quite passable, and sent them to Your Majesty.
The courage to let His Majesty come to see, mainly because the kid has a few interesting gifts, and he wants to show them to His Majesty in person, and let His Majesty see a surprise. ”
Shi Lei also said with a smile. Looking at the hippie smile, I wasn't so nervous.
"Oh? I'm really curious, what is it that gives you the confidence that I haven't seen it yet? Li Er raised his eyebrows.
"First of all, this is what I told Your Majesty last time, I want to show the kid's ability to train eagles." Shi Lei smiled and patted Huangtian on his shoulder.
"Let's go, let's go outside." Li Eryi waved his hand and walked into a huge courtyard first.
The two carts of gifts that Shi Lei brought were all placed here. Li Er glanced at the takin and the carriage, and nodded with satisfaction.
Shi Lei, this kid is still very willing, it seems that today's performance towards him can still be expected.
"Boy, this rock eagle is not only able to hunt, but it is not a problem to track the enemy. I think Your Majesty has seen all of this, and the kid will no longer be ugly.
In addition, my rock eagle can also send letters to people, Your Majesty may wish to arrange a guard, and we will test it. Shi Lei said confidently.
Soon a guard was picked out, and after a circle in front of Huang Tian, the guard galloped out, and disappeared in a moment.
The territory of this imperial city is definitely big enough, I can't wait to ride a horse and run for a day to roughly turn around, and I don't dare to guarantee that I can reach every corner. Such a guard definitely has a place to run.
After waiting for a while, Shi Lei asked someone to take pen and ink, write down the words "quick return", and stuffed them into the casing on Huangtian's claws. Then with a vigorous wave of his hand, he let it go.
It didn't take long for Huangtian to complete the task, and flew back to Shi Lei's shoulder with the empty casing.
And the poor guard, after a while, ran back out of breath and handed over the two words written by Shi Lei.
This simple demo is over.
"Well, I admit that your ability to train eagles is still good. From this point of view, you don't know how to kill the enemy on the battlefield, at least this is still good for tracking the enemy's traces and quickly transmitting information.
As long as today's demonstration is so good, you will be selected as the deputy pioneer, even if you don't do anything else, you will be worthy of the name of your deputy pioneer. ”
Li Er affirmed Shi Lei's performance, but he had to hit him a few words.
"Is that all?" Li Er glanced at Shi Lei and asked casually.
"Of course not, these are just appetizers. In an unknown forest on the other side of Yazhou, the boy found a very rare bug, which I called the bomb beetle. ”
As he spoke, Shi Lei took out a modified fart beetle, and then slowly moved away from Li Er.
"This insect looks inconspicuous, but it is one of the few animals in the forest that dares to provoke it, just because it has the ability to scare people.
Your Majesty, please see, wherever it feels threatened, it can breathe flames in whichever direction. ”
Shi Lei pinched the hind leg of the bomb beetle with his chopsticks, and sure enough, a bright flame sprayed in that direction.
There were suppressed exclamations from the attendants around, and the guards were slightly panicked, wanting to get close to Li Er's side to protect his safety.
However, An Yuanshou waved his hand, and the guards stood still in their respective positions again, but their eyes were closely watching Shi Lei's every move.
This posture, as long as Shi Lei threatens Li Er a little, it is the treatment of a corpse on the spot.
An Yuanshou had seen this thing a long time ago and reported it to Li Er, so the two of them would be very calm.
"If that's the case, this bug definitely doesn't deserve the name of the bomb beetle, so in fact, it can still explode."
After Shi Lei finished speaking, he pinched the beetle's body hard, and then slammed it into the sky and threw it out.
It would be nice to show the magic of this bug, Shi Lei didn't plan to expose the secret of his ability to control animals.
A blazing flame of "bang" erupted in the sky, successfully attracting the attention of everyone present.
Even Li Er, who had always been calm and composed, couldn't help but look over in surprise.
"That's why it's called the Bomb Beetle!" Shi Lei hugged his fist at Li Eryi, bowed down and said.
"However, that's not all for Your Majesty today." Shi Lei said in a deep voice with a smile.
"Oh? If you kid have any other good things, you might as well take them out and take a look. Li Er's interest has been successfully provoked.
"This kind of thing, the kid doesn't know how it came about, and it's also a magical liquid that the kid accidentally found in the depths of the jungle.
It has a lot of interesting features, please allow the kid to show them to your Majesty one by one. ”
As he spoke, Shi Lei carefully took out a small glass bottle of gold-eating ant formic acid from the carriage.
"Please bring an animal carcass, it doesn't need to be too big." After Shi Lei finished speaking, Li Er waved his hand casually, and naturally there was an inner servant who ran to do it.
Soon a hare that had just died was brought over. Shi Lei motioned to the other party and threw the rabbit on the ground, telling everyone to stay away.
Only then did he carefully open the lid of the glass bottle and spread the whole bottle of formic acid evenly on the rabbit's carcass.
Bursts of "snort" sounds, accompanied by a burst of unpleasant green smoke, rose together.
The poor hare, at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually disappeared, and slowly melted away, until it became a puddle of things, and no one knew what it was.
The hearts of these people present all shivered smartly, and a cold feeling swept through their hearts.
There were several neatly armored guards, and they stood in front of Li Er without hesitation, undisguised their vigilance.
"If that's all it takes, it's just a murderous thing full of anger. But in fact, this thing also has a useful feature. ”
Shi Lei didn't seem to see the sabre-rattling guards, so he took out another explosive beetle and gently sprayed it at the remaining formic acid.
With a "coax", a puff of flames came out and burned in the majestic male, until on the ground, only an area blackened by the flames remained, and nothing else remained.
"That's how the unlucky butler disappeared." Li Er looked at the scene in front of him with interest and said softly. (To be continued.) )
