Chapter 102: Progress

Maybe it's because it's summer, God will give the world a dismount first. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info So there was a heavy rain, to everyone's surprise, and it rained for a whole day. It wasn't until the evening that the rain began to stop slowly, but the dark clouds in the sky still did not disperse, and the low pressure on the city seemed to be brewing for the next heavy rain.

Li Shimin stood on Longshou Mountain, looking down at Chang'an City, which was surrounded by water and gas.

Longshou Mountain is in the innermost part of the imperial city, which is the highest place in Chang'an, and people can look at the entire Chang'an City when they stand on it.

In the imperial city, the eunuchs and palace maids are busy cleaning up the branches, leaves and other garbage on the ground after the wind and rain, and cleaning up the garbage at the entrance and exit of the sewer, so that the water in the palace cannot appear. The Praetorian Guards patrolled back and forth in the palace, and some Janissaries guarded all corners of the Imperial City, guarding the safety of the Imperial City.

The smoke and water were hazy, covering the entire Chang'an City with a thin veil. Through this layer of light veil, Li Shimin looked into the distance and could vaguely see that in Chang'an City, the neatly arranged Li Fang fell in Chang'an City in an orderly manner like a box. The lights began to come on, one, two, three...... Soon, the entire Chang'an City was sprinkled with yellow stars.

Li Shimin stood on Longshou Mountain and looked down, feeling like a giant standing in the universe, and the little lights were like stars in the sky, flickering under his feet.

Lu Zheng walked from behind with an overcoat, put it on Li Shimin, and then retreated.

Li Shimin turned around, looked at the dark Cloud Breaking Army camp, and was silent. Lu Zheng was behind him, his body bowed slightly, and his eyes were also looking at the darkness in front of him.

At some point, the dark clouds in the sky quietly dispersed. A hole suddenly opened in the sky, and the moon, which was hiding behind the clouds, couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly jumped out, passed through the opening in the sky, and sprinkled a piece of silver moonlight on Longdao Mountain, dyeing Li Shimin a piece of moon white.

The moonwater poured like mercury to the ground, slowly lifting the curtain of darkness. The wind all around suddenly stopped, and even the incessant chirping of insects in the grass stopped.

Li Shimin and Lu Zheng's eyes suddenly looked at the deepest part of the camp, where the thick darkness was suddenly torn apart by a bright light at the moment when the moonlight swept by just now.

"Boom"!

A loud bang came from the bright light, and several muffled cries were heard in the shadows. Immediately afterward, several more bright lights were thrown out of the darkness, and the sound of explosions sounded one after another, and the ground near them shook with the sound of explosions.

After a while, when the explosion was over and the smoke and dust inside had completely fallen, Li Tai, Li Chengqian, and Bai Qi walked out of the darkness with a group of older students from Tang Yuan, such as Da Niu. Each of them had a lot of mud on their clothes and hair, but they had happy expressions on their faces.

"I've seen Your Majesty!" Everyone came to Li Shimin and saluted.

Li Chengqian returned to Li Shimin's side with a smile, while Li Tai jumped back to Li Shimin's side, looking very excited: "Father, we have succeeded!" ”

Li Shimin smiled and patted Li Tai's hand: "Congratulations, Qingque!" ”

Li Shimin looked at a group of excited teenagers, and his mood couldn't help but become very happy. He came to the depths of the camp, where the lamps had been lit to illuminate the neighborhood as well as daylight.

I saw that the ground was in a mess, as if it had been rudely dragged by a large buffalo and ploughed back and forth, and three feet of soil on the surface of the ground were turned over, and some of the soil was splashed on the land within a hundred meters of the vicinity.

Li Tai asked someone to bring over a box, and when he opened it, it was neatly stacked with weapons like wooden barrels. The weapons were made of wood, the head was covered with a third of the iron sheet, while there was also a lid at the bottom, and when the lid was opened, there was a rope inside, and the rope was stuffed into the weapon.

Li Shimin followed Li Tai's demonstration, opened the safety cover of the grenade, pulled the rope, and then threw it far into the darkness.

With a "boom", a red flame light burst out in the darkness, illuminating the darkness nearby, and the sound shook the sky.

Li Shimin tried another one, then nodded with satisfaction, and instructed the imperial dining room to prepare a dinner party, and he feasted this group of Tang Yuan students in the cloud breaking camp on Longshou Mountain.

When Da Niu and the others heard that Li Shimin was going to feast on them, they immediately knelt down excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Li Shimin helped them up with a smile, and then patted Da Niu's chest and said, "I want to thank you, you have contributed to my Datang, and I want to reward you!" Say, what do you want? ”

Da Niu and the others looked at each other excitedly, and finally scratched their heads in confusion, looking at Li Shimin embarrassedly, not knowing what to say.

Seeing their confused eyes, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Why don't you enter the military department?" ”

"But we still have to study...... Da Niu whispered, hearing that he could enter the house, his heart quickened, and his face flushed, but after thinking about it carefully, he finally said with some hesitation.

Bai Qi immediately handed over to Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, they are still students, so it is better to be suspended in the military department, and when they graduate, let them officially join the company." What do you think? ”

Li Shimin nodded, and asked someone to register the names of these students, all of whom were attached to the military department, enjoying the court's fortune on weekdays, and assisting Li Tai, the king of Wei, in his experiments.

A group of people were eating with excitement, and the result was that in the end, the group of students only ate a few bites of everything, and they were so hungry that they put their backs on their backs. Watching their teachers let go of food at the banquet, this group of students was not only admiring but also admiring in their hearts.

Those who dare to disregard etiquette in front of His Majesty, except for himself, Teacher Bai, it is estimated that there are few people in the entire Tang Dynasty. Anyway, most of the whole dinner party was to keep their hands under the table, and if they weren't asked, they didn't say a word, for fear of doing something rude.

This marquis has been hungry for a day, and he will go to the meeting place where the Cloud Breaking Army will train at night, what should I do if I faint halfway if I don't eat more? Bai Qi picked up a piece of chicken, ate the rice in the bowl in three or two bites, and let out a long sigh of relief.

After withdrawing from the dinner, Li Shimin encouraged every student who came to help with the experiment, and then with their admiring eyes, he took his two sons and Bai Qi down the mountain and left.

"Has there been any recent movement in Kavad?" Li Shi rode his horse and asked White.

Bai Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, he now comes to the minister's house on time every day, spits bitterness and tears to the minister!" ”

Li Shimin's father and son laughed, and they had no sympathy for what happened to Baiqi.

"There's still a month to go, get everything ready as soon as possible, and don't miss this opportunity!" Li Shimin retracted his smile and said solemnly.

White nodded "yes" and rode forward quickly.

Li Shimin, like White, already has a sense of urgency in his heart about the world to the west. Next to the powerful Datang, there are three tigers lying down, and they may fight back at any time, and Datang must find a way to let them fight first when the three tigers are not ready, so that Datang can take advantage of the fishermen on the side. This is in line with the most fundamental interests of Datang.

The clouds eventually dispersed, and the silver moon hung high in the air, casting a light veil over the night. The breeze was cool, the leaves swayed in the moonlight, and the shadows on the ground swayed.

The sound of "stampede" came from the dense forest, and a group of soldiers of the Cloud Breaking Army were stepping on the muddy water on the mountain trail, marching quickly in the mountains.

The clothes on Cheng Chumo's body were wet with rain and stuck tightly on his body, and his backpack was full of things, weighing twenty pounds.

"Damn, from Chang'an to Luoyang, and from Luoyang to Chang'an, this time it actually took a day and a half, and I will definitely be scolded to death by a madman when I go back!" Cheng Chumo raised his hand to wipe away the water dripping on his face: "I don't know, what's going on with the eldest grandson monkey?" ”

"Mouse, give you a task." Cheng Chumo called the rats in the team, and then said mischievously: "Bring your scouts to Lao Tzu, figure out where the eldest grandson is, and then, hehe, give them some ingredients!" You know! ”

Cheng Chumo raised his eyebrows, his face full of ill intentions.

The rat laughed, took the scouts in the team, and disappeared into everyone's eyes like a wind.

Similarly, Changsun Chong also sent the peacocks in his own team and asked him to sneak in front of Cheng Chumo and their team with a team of scouts, ready to dig a pit to pit them at any time.

There was silence between heaven and earth, only the sound of the wind and the sound of the river flowing in the distance echoed.

Everyone in the two teams of Cheng Chumo and Changsun Chong looked embarrassed, and their clothes that were already wet were even more covered with leaves or mud at this time.

Under the moonlight, a small village that had been abandoned for a long time appeared in front of me. However, at this time, this abandoned village was lit with torches and was closely guarded by soldiers.

"They're back." Bai Qi looked at the two teams of people who came out of the darkness, and the corners of his mouth curled: "Luoyang and Chang'an went back and forth, it took thirty-six hours, passed!" ”

Li Shimin sat on a chair, holding a chess piece in his hand, hesitating where to place the next chess piece. The flickering light of the fire reflected on his face, revealing his smile.

"These two teams are really enemies, from the beginning of the competition to the present, it seems that they still have not divided the winner." Li Chengqian glanced up at the muddy water on their clothes and said with a smile.

White laughed. Every time they practice in the field, the two teams led by Cheng Chumo and Changsun Chong will always be in full trouble. It's not because of objective conditions, but because they both like to set some traps for each other.

"Crazy, come out quickly, Lao Tzu is about to starve to death, and now except for drinking some rainwater, not a drop of water has entered!" Cheng Chumo's loud voice drank from afar.
