The adults were left in the palace and kept complaining.

But outside the palace, there was a turbulence, and Chang'an City, which was originally extremely lively, only increased the atmosphere of slaughter at this time.

Except for a few unsuspecting people, everyone seemed to know that tonight was going to be a sleepless night.

In the palace, Li Chengqian was waiting for news from the outside, for fear that there was something outside that he didn't know.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Brother Liang and Cheng Chumo to come back, and Li Chengqian hurriedly said, "How is it outside?" Have we gathered our troops? ”

Cheng Chumo first spoke: "The soldiers and horses in Chang'an City have all gathered, and they will all come to the palace later." ”

Brother Liang also took over and said, "The soldiers and horses outside can't be assembled for the time being, but I've already told them, let them come over as soon as possible!" ”

Li Chengqian nodded, still looking at the two of them with some concern: "What do you say we are going to do with them tonight?" Do you want them to come in and confront each other directly at the city gates? Or let them in and catch turtles in urns? ”

Cheng Chumo was the first to speak: "I think it's better to confront them at the city gate, so that they will be wiped out, so that they will not harm the people in the city!" ”

Li Chengqian shook his head, looked at them and said, "They won't harm the people, because if they want to achieve their goals, they still need the people to spread the word for them, and they will naturally not do anything to harm the people!" ”

Brother Liang nodded and said, "But we don't know how many troops they have, if we let them in, if they outnumber us, we may really not be able to hold it with our manpower!" ”

Li Chengqian also nodded, looked outside with some concern, and said, "You said that if we surround them with General Hou, will there be a chance to capture them alive?" ”

Cheng Chumo shook his head, looked at Li Chengqian and said: "Hou Junji's little soldier in his hand now is enough to patrol the city and guard the city gate, although he is now in the same group as us, but if the situation on our side is unclear, he should not take the initiative to come over to help, let alone take the initiative to help us to surround them!" ”

Li Chengqian snorted and looked at the two of them: "General Hou sent someone to explain the situation to me today, and also explained the troops in his hands, he said that if I am in danger, he will bring troops to save me, but he will not take care of other things, because the disease in his hands now is not enough." ”

Brother Liang also nodded, as if he agreed with Li Chengqian's words, but he still sighed: "No wonder Changsun Chong chose Hou Junji as the object of wooing, he was originally a general who personally led the troops to the battle, but at this moment he has become the gatekeeper who patrols the city!" ”

Li Chengqian also sighed a little, "Yes, when I was framed, I inadvertently visited him once, but I didn't expect that he would help me after so many years without much contact!" ”

Cheng Chumo also sighed a little: "Yes, General Hou is actually fine, but he is just a little stubborn!" ”

Li Chengqian shook his head, didn't think about these things anymore, sighed and said, "Let's go, go to the Ministry of Industry to see what the situation is." ”

Saying that, Li Chengqian strode towards the Ministry of Engineering, and Brother Liang and Cheng Chumo also hurriedly followed.

Ministry of Industry, Mojia Annex.

Xu Dong was squinting at the parts in his hand, and from time to time he was drawing something on the scroll on the side.

Mo Juzi was still the same, lying on the wicker chair, falling into a deep sleep.

Mo Yan is no different from before, and he is still tinkering with his own novel ideas.

Li Chengqian's arrival didn't cause any waves, but Mo Yan still pulled him to the warehouse.

Li Chengqian squinted his eyes, looked at the strange things in the warehouse, and couldn't help but sigh: "How much money have you spent this year, and you have come up with so many strange things!" ”

Mo Yan ignored him, but pulled him to a big box and said, "You come to see this, see if it meets your requirements?" ”

Li Chengqian leaned over, looked at the big box and said with some puzzlement: "What is this?" Can this thing help me kill the enemy? ”

Mo Yan looked at Li Chengqian with an incomprehensible look, shook his head a little helplessly, and said unsparingly: "If Yang Chen was here, he would definitely know how to use this thing for the first time, it seems that people's intelligence is indeed different." ”

Li Chengqian's face was a little unsightly when he heard this, but he still stubbornly asked: "Tell me how this thing is used, don't play dumb riddles with me, I don't have time to play with you." ”

Mo Yan saw that Li Chengqian's face was a little unsightly, so he no longer laughed at him, and silently pulled out the box and said: "This box can shoot arrows the thickness of spears together, and the attack power of these spears is also very strong, if you can stand on the city wall and shoot down, the power is even greater!" ”

Li Chengqian's gaze shifted to the box with Mo Yan's words, and then he saw rows of neat holes in the box, as well as a huge launch device behind it.

Only then did Li Chengqian realize how this thing was used, looked at Mo Yan and said, "Isn't this just a big bow and arrow?" It's just that no one has to carry it! ”

Mo Yan nodded, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Do you see the cross sign on it?" Just in the middle of the cross is aiming, just pull the launcher at the back to the end, and then aim the two crosses at the enemy you want to aim, and then fire! ”

Speaking of this, Mo Yan looked at Li Chengqian and said: "This box is actually what Yang Chen proposed to do before, he wanted us to make a large-scale weapon of destruction such as bows and arrows that can be fired continuously, and this aiming device was also determined by me and him for a long time at that time, and the accuracy is very high!" ”

Li Chengqian was a little sad to hear Yang Chen's name, but he still cheered up and looked at Mo Yan and said: "Yang Chen, he does have this ability, and I heard that Yang Chen seems to have returned to the Tang Dynasty, and he made a lot of fame when he stayed in Goguryeo before. ”

Mo Yan also nodded, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "He didn't say that he was coming back recently when he wrote to me before, but if he wants to come to the emperor to conquer Goguryeo in person, he won't stay in Goguryeo anymore." ”

Li Chengqian snorted, looked at the box and said, "How much have you prepared for this thing?" How many arrows can you fire! ”

Mo Yan looked at Li Chengqian and said: "We didn't prepare much of this box at that time, probably only about twenty, he can fire ten arrows at a time, and he can fire four times in a row." ”

Li Chengqian nodded, looked at Mo Yan and said, "Let's pull out these twenty boxes first, are there any other things?" ”

Mo Yan thought for a while and looked at the shield behind him and said: "This shield is for two people, it can be split, and it can be combined to become like a wall, and you can also control the spear to go over and assassinate the opponent in front of you!" ”

Li Chengqian looked at looking for a shield, and nodded and said, "Okay, give me this shield too, with these things, I think we will definitely win today!" ”

Outside Chang'an City, Changsun Chong and King Wu looked at the neat soldiers and horses, showing a satisfied look.

King Wu even stood in front and looked at the soldiers and said: "Soldiers, Li Chengqian is unkind and unjust, restraining the important ministers of the court in the palace, and wants to threaten the important ministers of the court, so that the ministers agree to his powerless request, and now the father and emperor have no way to save the ministers, but this king can't watch it!" ”

Saying that, King Wu raised his right hand and said: "We are for the society of Datang, for the future of Datang!" ”

The soldiers also raised their right hands and shouted: "For the Tang Dynasty!" For Datang! ”

Seeing that the soldiers were excited, King Wu nodded with satisfaction and returned to the big tent with Changsun Chong.

In the room, King Wu put away his smile, looked at the eldest grandson and said, "What is the situation in the city now?" Did Hou Junji agree to help us? ”

Changsun Chong nodded, looked at King Wu and said: "He has agreed to our request, but he should only let us in, as for whether he will help us, he should look at the situation, if we are not in a good situation, he will turn back!" ”

King Wu looked at Changsun Chong and quipped, "Is it just that he is like this?" What do I think you are also a person who can fight against water? ”

The eldest grandson was stunned for a moment, looked at King Wu and said, "King Wu said that he was laughing, let's talk about Hou Junji!" ”

King Wu didn't say much anymore, looked at the eldest grandson and said: "Hou Junji has nothing to say, we just need to lead the troops to attack it, as long as he opens the door for us, then everything is easy to say!" ”

Changsun Chong nodded, looked at King Wu and said: "Those people in Chang'an City are also gearing up, Fang Yiai loves them because of yesterday's incident, and they all have a lot of dissatisfaction, and they all told me to participate in our actions, but I didn't tell them that we are going to do it tonight!" ”

King Wu nodded, his face was a little unsightly, but after sighing, he still looked at Changsun Chong and said: "Don't tell them about their waste, if they know about our actions, what will they do, and finally affect our actions!" ”

Changsun Chong also nodded and said, "Yes, their people are too rough, so I didn't tell them, but now our people in the city are basically stared at by Li Chengqian, and it's not easy to know the situation in the city!" ”

King Wu didn't care, looked at the eldest grandson and said, "As long as tonight passes, everything will be settled, what a godsend!" ”

Changsun Chong couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, who would have thought that Li Chengqian would be so bold and tie up so many important ministers of the imperial court to the palace, what do you say he wants to do?" ”

King Wu listened to Changsun Chong's words and showed a hint of a smile, but he still said bluntly: "Li Chengqian did this, naturally because there was no way out, if he didn't bring these officials back to the palace, and then wait for them to fall into a coma and wake up naturally for ten days and half a month, then the public opinion outside would be under our control, and he naturally couldn't let it go!" ”
