Li Shimin opened the rice paper curiously, only glanced at it, his eyes suddenly burst into a gleam, and the whole person stood up from the dragon chair.

"Has anyone else seen this?"

When he asked this sentence, Yuan Tiangang felt that Li Shimin's body suddenly erupted with a strong murderous aura like substance, and his heart was suddenly awe-inspiring, what did Wang Zixin leave for His Majesty!

"This wooden box was given to Chunfeng when the prince was about to leave Yanping Gate, and after Chunfeng got it, he handed it over to Poor Dao, and no one else knew the existence of this wooden box, as for the things in the wooden box, Chunfeng and Poor Dao had never seen it."

Li Er exhaled heavily and sat down again, carefully reading the contents of the rice paper.

"Your Majesty often asks the King of Jin to inquire about what can open mountains and crack rocks, destroy cities and hurt people, and the ministers do not know what King Jin means, but they have concerns. Now the minister is going to Gaochang, I don't know when he will be able to come back, he thinks about it again and again or handed it over to His Majesty, and hopes that His Majesty will take care of the Hou Mansion and Gewuyuan for the sake of the minister's offering of gunpowder, and the minister is grateful. ”

The words are very ugly, the words are always white, it is indeed from the new hand of the prince, and I still can't write the brush words after learning for so long.

It turned out to be called gunpowder. When Li Shimin opened the rice paper, he found a small transparent glass bottle the size of his thumb, and the glass bottle contained a pinch of black powder.

"The gunpowder and its usage have been recorded, and the minister knows that His Majesty will definitely test the gunpowder, so be careful!! This thing is so powerful that gunpowder the size of a fist is enough to crack a mountain and crack a rock, and the slightest carelessness can kill people!! ”

Li Shimin was accustomed to the punctuation marks invented by Wang Xiang, and six exclamation marks in one sentence were enough for him to feel Wang Xiang's awe of gunpowder, but this made Li Shimin even more excited.

"Although the minister went to Gaochang, but the twenty percent of the glass income His Majesty still has to leave it to the minister, and there is still a large family in the minister's family to eat, and the cost of the Gewu Academy is not small, and the minister's small vegetable garden outside the city......" The back is full of trivial things, it is really difficult for him to write so much because the words are so ugly, but Li Shimin still read it word for word.

The last line of the rice paper reads: "Gunpowder hurts the heavens and peace, and I hope Your Majesty will use it with caution." ”

After reading the content on the rice paper, Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and was silent for a long time.

……

The caravan did not go fast, the sun was about to set before it went less than five miles, it was not possible to catch up with the next post house before dark, and there were no farmhouses around, the eldest grandson Wuji and Ju Yiya decided to camp here to rest after discussion, and continue to rush tomorrow.

It's not too far from Chang'an City, so don't worry about thieves appearing, everyone started to set up tents, and Wang Xiang also beckoned Tie Dan to come over to help.

Originally, only the eldest grandson Wuji and Ju Yiya in the caravan had separate tents, and the others were several people sharing a tent. With Wang Xiang here, Cheng Chuliang naturally didn't have to squeeze the "yurt" with the envoys outside, Wang Xiang hoarded a lot of tents in the warehouse, and when no one was paying attention, he got a few military tents from the warehouse, iron eggs, Cheng Chuliang and Li Huiming were assigned a single tent, this thing is most suitable for use in the wild, compared to the eldest grandson Wuji's "yurt" I don't know how many times better, spacious and strong, windproof and waterproof, even in case of heavy rain, don't worry.

The people who set up the tent caravan took out the dry food that had been prepared long ago and began to eat, and it took many days to go to Gaochang, and they could only eat hot meals when they met the post house or the farmer's house, and they usually had to eat dry food, even the eldest grandson Wuji was the same.

Wang Xiang's military tent was the largest, and it was more than enough for seven or eight people, and at this time, Cheng Chuliang and they all gathered in Wang Xiang's tent.

Wang Xiang is not used to eating hard dry food, and Cheng Chuliang naturally does not need to gnaw dry food.

There was a bonfire lit in the tent, Wang Xiang got a jar of fruit wine and a fat leg of mutton from somewhere, and put the leg of mutton on the bonfire to roast, and the four of them ate snacks and drank fruit wine around the bonfire, which was like going out for a spring outing.

During the day, Wang Xiang asked Tie Dan and Cheng Chuliang to ride a horse to collect some firewood nearby, and when Cheng Chuliang came back, Cheng Chuliang was still a little reluctant, and it was too much to let the dignified Zuo Wei Zhonglang go to collect firewood, but now he didn't complain at all, and said to Wang Xiang with a smile: "Zixin, I'll go collect some firewood when I go tomorrow." ”

Wang Xiang flipped the leg of mutton on the bonfire, and Cheng Chu glanced at it: "What are you doing collecting firewood?" ”

"Barbecue."

Listening to what Cheng Chuliang said, of course, Wang Xiang said angrily: "You are meat that fell from the sky." ”

Cheng Chuliang scratched his head: "Then I'll go out with Tie Dan tomorrow to see if I can hunt wild animals." ”

Li Huiming shook his head and said: "The caravan is on the official road, and there are no wild things near the official road. ”

"That's right." Cheng Chuliang seemed a little disappointed: "Then do you still have to collect firewood tomorrow?" ”

Seeing that Cheng Chuliang and Tie Dan were both looking at him, Wang Xiang nodded and smiled: "Then it depends on whether you want to eat dry food or not." "There are still a lot of ingredients in the warehouse, which he prepared in advance, and it is no problem to eat them for two or three months.

As for where Wang Xiang got the leg of mutton and fruit wine, Cheng Chuliang and Li Huiming were smart not to ask, and Tie Dan didn't think about this question at all.

Ju Yiya was sitting in her small tent munching on Hu Biscuits, when she suddenly asked A strong aroma, not only did she smell it, but also Akinu and the rest of the caravan, it was the smell of roasted meat.

"Akinu, isn't the caravan barbecing?" Ju Yiya was happy all of a sudden, although she liked all kinds of dim sum snacks in Datang more than barbecue, but compared with the light and tasteless Hu cakes, the barbecue was obviously very good.

On the way from Gaochang to Datang, she gnawed on Hu Cake for more than half a month, which was really a little greasy, and she had tasted so many delicacies in Datang, so she was even less interested in Hu Cake.

When she came to Datang, it took her and Aqinu more than half a month to speed up, and with the current speed of the caravan, it is estimated that it will take two or three months to return to Gaochang, which means that she has to gnaw on Hu cakes for two or three months, even if there is some jerky, she will definitely not be able to stand it.

After getting out of the tent, Ju Yiya realized that it was not the caravan that was barbecing, and the caravan people were also curious about where the smell of barbecue came from.

Ju Yiya sniffed her nose and quickly targeted Wang Xiang's large tent, from which she was sure that the smell of barbecue came from.

"Akinu, that cook is so hateful!"

During the day, Ju Yiya suspected that Wang Xiang had hidden the dim sum box somewhere in the caravan, so she deliberately rode around the caravan on horseback, but did not notice that Wang Xiang's dim sum box seemed to appear out of thin air.

In the evening, he actually made a spacious tent again, and now he is still roasting meat in the tent, Ju Yiya looked at the Hu Cake in his hand and suddenly felt unbalanced in his heart.

Sullen back to the tent, I didn't have the heart to eat Hu Biscuits, my nose was full of the tempting aroma of barbecue, why didn't I find barbecue so fragrant before?
