Jiaozhou City, in a small farm yard,

Pei Min was practicing in the courtyard with a stainless steel sword, and after practicing a set of swordsmanship, someone came over to take the sword and gave Pei Min a towel to wipe his sweat.

"How long has the feather gone?" Pei Min asked.

"It's been two hours since I returned to the door." Humane.

Feather is Yun Shu's code name. Pei Min's eyes lit up, and he said, "Things have changed, hurry up and gather people, and we will evacuate immediately." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw another Lijing doorman hurriedly running in and said, "Oh no, we are surrounded." ”

Pei Min didn't have time to ask in detail, he grabbed the stainless steel sword and ran directly towards the front door, and when he rushed out of the front door, he saw rows of archers and musketeers who had surrounded the small courtyard.

And it was Li Shan who took the lead, and Li Yunshu was by his side. Li Shan arched his hand at Pei Min and said, "Presumably this is Lord Pei Min, the new master of Lijing Gate?" Fortunately, I will be fortunate to know, the name of the Sword Saint, I have heard of the name for a long time. ”

Pei Min didn't know why Li Yunshu was sitting next to Li Shan safely, but this already explained everything, and he had no way to escape. Since there was no way to escape, fortunately, he didn't escape, put away the sword, and said: "Then this must be the traitor Li Shan, and Pei has also been famous for a long time." ”

Li Shan raised his eyebrows and said, "Traitorous party? When did you become a traitor? ”

Pei Min snorted coldly and said, "Knowingly, do you want me to list all your crimes?" You deceive the king, you can punish the nine clans for any crime, and you still say that you are not a traitor to the party? ”

Li Shan said: "Master Pei, this empty mouth and white teeth, you can't just wronged people." Besides, I am the emperor of Dali now, you despise me so much, can I also cure you for the crime of bullying the king? ”

Pei Min took the long sword in his hand and said awe-inspiringly: "Since I was planted in your hands today, I never thought that I could leave alive, and you don't have to pretend here." Let your people do it. ”

Li Shan smiled: "Why should Lord Pei be so pessimistic, I didn't say that I wanted to kill you, I actually came here this time mainly to talk to Lord Pei, and ask Lord Pei to send a few words to the emperor." Master Pei should let your men retreat first, lest the sword have no eyes and add meaningless sacrifices. ”

Pei Min looked at Li Shan suspiciously, and seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to retreat into the courtyard, saying, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Li Shandao: "Master Pei said that I was a traitor to the party, and I really didn't dare to agree with it, so it was even more difficult for me to accept that the emperor wanted to send someone to assassinate me." If you hadn't mistakenly sent your sister to assassinate you, maybe you would have succeeded this time, then wouldn't I have been greatly wronged, and I should have been charged with the law. ”

Pei Min said: "Okay, then I'll make your charges clear." You colluded with the samurai family to rebel against the party and plot to seize the throne of Ge Luofeng Dali, this is the first crime. The capture of Annan is the second sin. Plundering the imperial concubine is the third sin. Guilty of deserving of punishment, can you still quibble? ”

Li Shan said with a smile: "Indeed, I also served as an official in the Tang Dynasty and understood the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty. But what I want to say is that these charges were nothing more than what you enacted with the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty. But I am now a native of Dali and do not belong to the Tang Dynasty, so in terms of the etiquette of our Dali country, this crime is not established. ”

Pei Min said: "If you deceive the king, you should be punished by the nine clans, and it will be the same everywhere." ”

Li Shan shook his finger and said, "Wrong, in our Dali country, there is no such thing as punishing the nine clans. The biggest crime is the death penalty. The reasons for the execution are indiscriminate killing of innocents, major crimes of embezzlement, etc. The first crime you mentioned, first of all, Dali was not established by Ge Luofeng, but was planned by me and Wu Huanzhen, and it is indeed true that Ge Luofeng was replaced, but the six edicts did not belong to the Tang Dynasty, so we did not violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty. The second point is that Annan, in the same way, is only a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, not a territory. Thirdly, Wu Wuzai was indeed stolen from the palace by me, which I do not deny, but I also do not think that I am guilty. If you think I'm guilty, then I can also accuse the Tang Emperor of imprisoning others for a long time, enslaving others, and forcibly having sex with women according to the laws of Dali. ”

Pei Min didn't understand what Li Shan said at all, this was simply a strong argument, a traitor and a rebel, and his sin was unforgivable.

"Li Shan, you don't need to be flattering, even if you can talk about lotus flowers, it can't change the fact that you have betrayed the party. The emperor has already ordered you to be killed, if you are smart, go to Chang'an now to take the blame, maybe the emperor can spare your family. If you are obsessed and the emperor raises troops to attack, it will not be such a simple matter. ”

Li Shandao: "Haha, that's right, that's exactly what I want to say." Now I am the lord of Dali, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty openly sent someone to assassinate me, it is really contempt for me Dali, I declare that Dali will no longer be a subject to the Tang Dynasty from today onwards, if the Tang Dynasty dares to raise troops to attack me, I will fight back. Master Pei, I heard that you have been living in Dali for more than two months, I don't know how you feel about my current national situation in Dali? ”

Li Shan's words made Pei Min embarrassed, Li Shan said: "Although Master Pei said bluntly, I heard that when Lord Pei was in Luoyang, he was also a good official and was quite popular with the people. Presumably, adults also have a lot of experience in governing the country and securing the people, so you might as well talk about it. ”

Pei Min said: "Indeed, your governance of Dali for five years has brought earth-shaking changes to Dali, and the living standards of the people here have surpassed those of the Tang Dynasty, and Dali can now be said to be rich and strong." ”

Li Shandao: "Thank you Master Pei for your compliment, then I'm asking Lord Pei, if the Tang Dynasty wants to raise troops to attack, how many troops will it take to make Dali surrender?" ”

Pei Min said: "I know that you can fight well and be the inventor of gunpowder, presumably Dali has now made firearms." If I want to pacify Dali, I need at least 200,000 elite soldiers. ”

Li Shan laughed and said: "Master Pei, you also underestimate me Li Shan, even if the Tang Dynasty wants to attack my Dali with the strength of the whole country, it is unpredictable." Because in terms of weapons, it is no longer a grade, so please go back and explain it to Tang Xuanzong. ”

Li Shan beckoned, and his men sent a thunderbolt to Pei Min. This is not an ordinary bombardment, this is a new generation of thunder, and the reason why it is a new generation is because its composition is not black powder, but explosives.

Nitroglycerin, nitrophenol and other chemicals have been researched by Li Shan, although it is still in the initial stage, but the power of explosives is not comparable to gunpowder, the power is too many times different. As an engineering student with a chemistry background, Li Shan did not live up to the expectations of his university teachers.

As for the meaning of explosives, Li Shan didn't want to explain to Pei Min, so that Tang Xuanzong could see its power with his own eyes, and believed that Tang Xuanzong would be able to make the right choice.

Of course, Pei Min couldn't see anything special about this thunderbolt, but since Li Shan asked him to bring it back, he could only bring it back and present it to the emperor.

Li Shan gave Pei Min the roster that Yun Shu gave him, and said: "Master Pei, I will not pursue these spies, I hope that my lord can take these people out of Dali within three days, otherwise I will not guarantee their personal safety." Go back and tell Tang Xuanzong that although I am now the emperor of Dali, I have Yanhuang's blood flowing in my body, and I will not bring the flames of war to the Tang Dynasty. I hope that Tang Xuanzong can make great efforts to make the Tang Dynasty prosperous, and not lose his reason and give the Tibetans and Turks an opportunity. That's all I say, take care of Master Pei. (To be continued.) )
