Li Zheng read the emergency report, staggered, and collapsed weakly on the chair.

Di Qing took five cities in a row, and the army approached Ziyang City.

At this time, there are less than 5,000 soldiers and horses left in Ziyang City, as long as they start attacking the city, they will be able to take Ziyang City within three days.

After days of fighting, the soldiers were very tired.

Di Qing was not in a hurry at this time, so he chose to camp ten miles outside Ziyang City and choose a day to attack the city.

Who knew that Li Hao's subordinates in Ziyang City actually took the initiative to attack in the middle of the night and smashed Di Qing's camp.

Di Qing was also in the scuffle and was beheaded by the enemy.

When the army stabilized its position, the enemy was repulsed, but only Di Qing's headless corpse was found.

Li Zheng's face was pale, his lips were purple, his chest was heaving, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Wei Xiaobao read the emergency report and said in a low voice: "Please take care of the dragon body Your Majesty." ”

"Di Lao is my Great Wei wolf handsome, when he leaves, who will protect the Great Wei River?" Li Zheng was short of breath, as if he had lost his soul.

Wei Xiaobao said: "Your Majesty, and Dillon." ”

"Dillon? Yes, and Dillon, quickly spread my will, let Dillon quickly go and welcome back Dillo. Li Zheng ordered in a sad voice.

Xiao An immediately went to deliver the message.

At this moment in the Praetorian Guard camp, Dillon was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

After receiving the holy decree, he left the city overnight and went straight to Ziyang City.

When he walked out of the Qiankun Palace, Wei Xiaobao looked up at the night sky.

The night sky is cloudy and the moon is dark, and there are no stars in sight.

But those who stand in the way should be quickly removed, and keeping them will only cause endless harm.

A few days later, Ling Huchan appeared in Chang'an City.

In a teahouse, Wei Xiaobao frowned and looked at her, and asked in a deep voice, "What about the Blood Buddha?" ”

According to the plan, the person who appeared in front of Wei Xiaobao at this moment should be the Blood Buddha, not Ling Huchan.

"The Blood Buddha is seriously injured and has difficulty moving." Ling Huchan replied in a low voice.

Wei Xiaobao didn't think much about it, and sighed: "It's really hard for you this time, there are 100,000 taels of silver tickets here, you take it, go back and treat the brothers well." ”

"Overseer, this is a million ......" made Hu Chan very shocked when she heard the amount of the silver ticket.

Wei Xiaobao shouted: "Take it." ”

Ling Huchan had to obediently take the silver ticket.

Wei Xiaobao had no intention of drinking tea, and his eyes moved to the wooden box next to the table.

Ling Huchan comprehended, opened the box a crack, and could clearly see Di Qing's head.

The person who instigated the Ziyang City guards to launch a night attack was none other than Ling Huchan.

The person who charged into the Di Qing camp and successfully obtained Di Qing's head was the Three Buddhas of Mingjiao.

Although Di Qing is old, his martial arts are strong, and the three Buddhas of Mingjiao are dispatched at the same time, and they almost miss.

Fortunately, although the process was dangerous, the final result was perfect.

Mingjiao did not leave any clues in this operation, and even if Dillon had the heart to investigate, he could not find Wei Xiaobao's body.

But there is no impermeable wall under the sky, this matter is very important, the secret agents of the East Factory have been lurking around Dillon, once Dillon has any abnormal movement, he will be ruthlessly wiped out.

Great Wei is the most lacking of good generals, and Dillon is in his prime, which can be of great use.

Wei Xiaobao thought about it and ordered: "Go back and throw this wooden box into the Di Mansion." ”

"Okay." Ling Huchan nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Ling Huchan lowered her head and did not leave, Wei Xiaobao asked again, "Is there anything else?" ”

"No, no." Ling Huchan hurriedly lifted the wooden box and left quickly.

Old troubles are solved one by one, and at the same time, new troubles appear.

Whether it is Dillon or Nangong Yushang, it is like a thunder.

When Di Qing's head appeared in Di Mansion, it caused a great sensation.

After Li Hao's people beheaded Di Qing, they sent his head back to Di Mansion, which was undoubtedly releasing a signal.

This world belongs to Li Hao.

Li Zheng was extremely angry, but he was helpless.

Early on this day, Li Zheng proposed to recruit soldiers and increase taxes so as to raise elite soldiers.

The Manchu Dynasty was silent and civil.

Last year, there were many natural disasters, and many places were hit by disasters, and the people could not fill their stomachs.

Due to the untimely distribution of relief food by the imperial court, many people were starved to death, resulting in a sharp decline in the population of the Great Wei.

At this time, raising taxes to recruit troops is by no means a good strategy, and it may cause a popular uprising.

Li Zheng touched the ash of his nose, and his mood was extremely dull, so he immediately took Xiao An alone and went out of the palace in disguise.

When he came to the Yamen of Dongchang, he saw Wei Xiaobao fiddling with some iron cylinders.

Wei Xiaobao saluted and said with a smile: "Your Majesty came just in time, I was about to make a trick." ”

"What trick?" Li Zheng was very interested in Wei Xiaobao's tricks.

Wei Xiaobao had just assembled a cannon, and there were also manufactured shells on the side, and he only needed to load and ignite to know the result.

In the garden in the distance, there was an ugly rockery, and every time I saw Wei Xiaobao, I wanted to destroy it.

At this moment, he adjusted the angle, aimed at the rockery, and then lit a torch and handed it to Li Zheng: "Your Majesty, just light this place." ”

Li Zheng took the torch and chuckled: "Fireworks in broad daylight are quite chic." ”

As he spoke, Li Zheng had already lit the fuse.

Wei Xiaobao hurriedly covered his ears with his hands.

"Xiaobao, what are you doing covering your ears? Could it be that you ......" Before Li Zheng finished speaking, he heard a bang, and the loud sound shook Li Zheng's ear drums.

Bang.

An even more terrifying sound followed, and the rockery was blown into powder by cannonballs, and the ground trembled.

Li Zheng's body trembled violently, his legs were weak, and he sat directly on the ground.

The smoke and dust filled the air, choking Li Zheng and coughing repeatedly.

Wei Xiaobao hurriedly went over to help, but found that between Li Zheng's legs, a large piece of wet was actually wet.

This is also understandable, as an emperor, it is normal to be scared to pee by personally lighting a cannon that has never been seen before.

Although Li Zheng was shocked, he was more embarrassed at the moment.

Wei Xiaobao looked back and saw that Xiao An was also sitting on the ground, the ground was damp, and he was obviously urinating.

This cannon scared the two of them, which shows that the cannon he made was quite successful.

"Xiao An, you useless thing, why don't you go and change your pants?" Wei Xiaobao shouted angrily.

Xiao An got up and stumbled to change his pants.

Wei Xiaobao picked up Li Zheng, and after a few ups and downs, he went to the uninhabited room and found clean clothes for Li Zheng to change.

Li Zheng woke up from the shock and asked, "Xiaobao, what is that?" ”

Wei Xiaobao replied with a smile: "This is a heavy weapon I developed, called a cannon. ”

"Cannon?" Li Zheng thought about it, thinking back on the power of that shot, this name is indeed very appropriate.

Next, Wei Xiaobao briefly explained the principle of the cannon, but unfortunately the more Li Zheng listened, the more confused he became.

Knowing that the shells were made of gunpowder, Li Zheng couldn't believe it.

Can gunpowder, which is used to make fireworks, have such power?

Returning to the small courtyard again, looking at the rockery that had been smashed into powder, Li Zheng was quite pleased.

If you use this cannon to attack the city, and you can't knock down the city wall with one cannon?

The cannon is more than ten times more powerful than a trebuchet.

Li Zheng grabbed Wei Xiaobao's shoulders and was so excited that he was incoherent.

"We need to make cannons, the more the better, if we don't have enough money, we will ask Liu Erlang." Li Zheng finally gave Wei Xiaobao the green light.

Even if he saves clothes and diets, Li Zheng has to make cannons, but with Wei Xiaobao here, Dawei will be strong again.

This cannon also blasted away Li Zheng's troubles.

After sending Li Zheng away, Wei Xiaobao meditated and breathed and absorbed the last bit of quenching pill in his body.

The power of the Quenching Pill is very strong, and every time it absorbs a little, it can make his body change a lot.

"Overseer, there is news of the Nine-Colored Buddhist Sutra." When Tie Feixue came to report, Wei Xiaobao was washing off the sweat stains on his body.
