Chapter 21: Wei Chigong arrives
Last time, it was said that Li Er brought back the oil and handed it to Li Kuan, which caused Li Chengqian's jealousy, so he stood up and asked to share. But Li Er didn't say a word, as if he was watching the excitement.
The eldest grandson Wuji stood behind Li Er, his face was cloudy, and he was also thinking about the deep meaning of Li Er's move in his heart. But no matter what he thought, he couldn't figure out what Li Er's purpose was in doing this, did he just want to see two little guys fight for this thing? Li Er can't be so boring, so what other deep meaning is there? He couldn't figure it out, he didn't know that Li Kuan had actually been used by Li Er as the alchemy stone for the rest of the brothers for a long time, and Li Er made such a decision after learning that there was a mysterious school behind Li Kuan.
Because the scientist's expression is too mysterious, two and a half years have passed, and Li Er still hasn't found anything, and even the scientists only know Li Kuan's teacher, Chen Tuan's ancestor. How could such a mysterious school reassure Li Er, so he decided to let Li Chengqian and other juniors try Li Kuan's depth, so as to deduce the mysterious scientist's catties. Why didn't he do it himself? It's just that if he does it, he is afraid that those hidden scientists will do something drastic. And the competition between the younger generation can be explained as a matter of the junior, and the elders must not interfere to shirk it.
If Li Kuan knew Li Er's thoughts, he would definitely vomit three liters of blood, but it was just a lie, which actually made him have a bad relationship with almost all the princes in the future, which also made him an alternative to the Tang royal family, of course, this is not mentioned later.
Now Li Kuan ignored Li Chengqian's clamour, he was too lazy to talk to this little Zhengtai, because this was really a bit naΓ―ve. He bought this thing at his expense, so how could he give it to others? So he silently let the system absorb the energy directly in his heart. Watch the progress bar slowly move upwards.
It may be that the amount is small, and the progress bar goes up very quickly. In less than a cup of tea, the three barrels of fire oil were absorbed. Li Kuan confronted Li Chengqian during this time, without saying a word, and Li Chengqian also stared at Li Kuan with his eyes open, he felt that his father was partial to this guy, and Li Kuan's appearance in the past few years made him feel threatened, so he didn't care about what his mother and he said before that he must not conflict with Li Kuan.
"Why don't you speak? Is your heart empty? Li Chengqian asked.
"Whatever you want, this thing is mine. Even if I throw it away, I won't give it to you! Now, I'm going to throw these three buckets away, and if you want to pick them up! Anyway, it's something I don't want, and it's yours if you pick it up! Li Kuan said goodbye to Li Er, and then went back to his tent.
Li Chengqian's face was iron-blue, why is this guy so hateful? When you are picking up rags? What else do you want and don't give it to me, the little second son, dare to compete with my eldest son? Wait for the next time to make you look good! Li Chengqian is no longer in contention. If you snatch it again at this time, won't it be a rag?
So he obediently retreated behind Li Er, lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking, he didn't tell his uncle Li Kuan about any scientists behind him. thought that Li Er had warned him, Li Ke and Li Tai. But now it seems that it is time to inform the eldest grandson Wuji of this information.
Li Er was very strange, Li Kuan wanted to come to the oil oil. But I don't want it, is there any mystery in it?
"Someone. Open the bucket! Li Er commanded.
"No!" The soldier who was driving the car bowed in agreement, and then drew the horizontal knife at his waist. Begin to pry open the lid of the barrel.
"This ......" Li Er looked at the contents when the barrel was opened, and his heart was like a turbulent wave, and he was afraid of the mysterious scientist again.
Because the original full of fire oil is now gone, only the empty wooden barrel is left, not even a little oil foam, clean like a newly made wooden barrel, that is to say, Li Kuan just just took away the three full barrels of fire oil under everyone's noses in just a short cup of tea. If that were the case, the scientists' approach would have to be re-evaluated.
Time passed quickly, in Sun Simiao's conditioning of Li Yuan's body, Li Er's exercises, the prince's anxiety, and Li Kuan's leisurely practice boxing, unconsciously arrived on the fourth day of the sixth month of the sixth year of Wude, that is, the day of the Xuanwumen incident recorded in history.
During this period, Li Kuan quietly slipped out of the camp once, no one knew where he went, even the guards secretly sent by Li Er to protect him were also vigilantly thrown off by him, in the night, Li Kuan was like a dexterous civet cat, from the treetops, in the grass, flashing by. The guard only followed him for less than three miles before he lost a trace of Li Kuan.
On the fourth day of June, in the morning. In the Xuanjiawei camp, the hustle and bustle broke the tranquility of the early morning. Li Er stood on the platform and looked at the assembled Xuanjiawei: "Today will be the most important day, and the final result will be divided today. Here, with this glass of water and wine, I wish you a great victory! β
Li Er said very passionately, to put it bluntly, today is going to compete with the prince, everyone for the future glory and wealth, what tricks are used, what strength to eat milk is used, don't hide it anymore, I Li Er hopes that everyone will help me win this battle, and when I sit in that position, there will be great glory and wealth!
"Dare to die for King Qin!" The eldest grandson Wuji took the lead in shouting, followed by a group of Wenchen generals, and then all the soldiers in the entire battalion began to shout with enthusiasm: "Dare to die for King Qin!" β
Li Chengqian stood in the crowd, his little face was excited, he was also infected by this atmosphere, and shouted enthusiastically: "Dare to die for your father!" β
In addition to him, there was also Li Ke, who was also excited, holding his little fists, waving them, and shouting.
Li Kuan was watching from the sidelines, he had also heard a lot of so-called speeches in later generations, but they were all high-level executives of the company, heads of relevant departments, and these people were not much worse than Li Er 1,400 years ago, so they got used to it after listening to it a lot. And he knows the end result, less of the subtle feeling of enjoying the process. Because Li Er didn't know the result, they felt that they were struggling and struggling, but Li Kuan knew the result. So all he had left was to watch a good show.
Although he was not moved by Li Er's rough speech, Li Kuan was still looking forward to it. Because it is not only about witnessing history, but also about whether what you prepare will change history. This is what Li Kuan wants to know the most.
The eldest grandson stood outside the gate, listening to the loud shouts inside, he was also very excited, this day is coming, even if the final result is good or bad, they have been looking forward to it for a long time, she is a woman who has been supporting Chang'an City for almost ten years, she is too tired. Now it's finally time for the last minute, even if it's death. She will also witness with her husband.
On the official road fifteen miles away from Chang'an City, a lone horse, a yellow-black horse is galloping, the knight on the horse has a tiger's back and a majestic waist, and his dark skin is shining like a metallic luster in the sunlight of the rising sun.
The whip was pulled down again, and the horses under the crotch sped up a little faster, seeing that Chang'an City was in front of him, the knight opened his mouth and shouted: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin, I am here to be Captain Chi Jingde!" "Sonic boom. Startled a large flock of birds.
This knight was Wei Chi Gong, who was far away from the right guard, and he ran out from under Li Jing, carrying only his own short blade and two steel whips. Even the Mingguang armor that Li Er built for him didn't wear out, riding this big Wanliang horse, he only ran for a day and two nights for a distance of nearly two thousand miles.
Li Er was already wearing armor. I was on horseback and ready to go, but I heard this sound. I couldn't help but turn my head to look, and I rode alone on the official road in the distance. A cloud of smoke and dust was stirred, and the clothes on Wei Chigong's body were already wet with Chaolu and clinging tightly to his body, revealing his steel-like bones. With two steel whips in his hands, he laughed and flew away.
"Wei Chi! Ha ha...... I didn't expect you kid to come! I thought you were going to be absent! Cheng Biting Jin's big voice is not inferior.
"How is that possible! How could King Qin be without me in this last battle! Wait for a certain family to clear this last obstacle for King Qin and help King Qin ascend to the great treasure! Wei Chigong came to Li Er's body and brushed down from his horse, and then strode to Li Erma, kneeling on one knee and saying.
"Okay, with the help of Wei Chi, this trip is more successful! Yu Chi, get on the horse, and set off with the lonely king! Looking at Li Er's expression, he knew that he was moved by the rough man in front of him, and even the eldest grandson sitting in the carriage on the side wiped his eyes slightly.
Li Kuan and the other two little guys sat in the carriage, accompanied by the eldest grandson, and around the carriage were a large group of knights wearing dark armor, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in their ears, the horses neighed, and the sound of trumpets also came out, which was a fair march to the palace.
This is also for Li Jiancheng to show them, indicating that Li Er is here now, so that they can relax and step into their arrangement.
On the other side, at the Xuanwu Gate, a group of soldiers stood on top of the city tower, their bodies as tall as javelins, their eyes not squinting, staring ahead. Chang He was patrolling with sweat on his face, but only he knew what was in his heart. On this day, if you want to enter the palace, you can only enter the palace from the Suzaku Gate at the front, the Xuanwu Gate at the northernmost point, the Jingfeng Gate at the east, and the Anfu Gate at the west, all of which are closed, but the prince went out of the city last night, accompanied by only 300 soldiers of the prince's six rates. He had lost contact with the people who had secretly worked in the Sixteen Guards.
Not only did Li Er understand that today was the most critical time, Li Jiancheng didn't know anything, so he also had to prepare, and what he was preparing was to fight with Li Er at the court meeting, not to compete directly, and after the court meeting was dispersed, Li Er would let the Sixteen Guards and his prince Liuyu shoot together after leaving the palace to besiege and kill Li Er. The reason why he didn't do it before the court meeting was because he was afraid that after Li Yuan learned the news, he would let the rest of the troops who had not surrendered to stop him, giving Li Er time to breathe, in case Li Er escaped from the meeting, with the military power in his hands, it was enough to subvert the Tang Dynasty.
So Li Jiancheng wants to go back to the palace, he can only go to the Xuanwu Gate, because if he walks through the Vermilion Bird Gate, he has to go around a big circle, which is also what Chang He is most worried about, he is sandwiched in the middle is the most difficult to do, others will say that he betrayed the prince, and some people will say that he betrayed the Lord to seek glory, in short, Chang He knows that his reputation is stinky, but what can be done? In order to repay Yin Kaishan for saving his life, or in order to save his own life, in short, the matter is a foregone conclusion, as long as Li Jiancheng returns to the palace from here, then he will have to explain here, maybe he was captured alive, or he was killed.
