However, when Lu Heng used the matter of Qiguang Ancestor to educate his students.

On the British Mansion in the north of Chang'an City.

has always been called Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, but he was looking at the big iron ball falling into the sky in front of him, full of puzzlement.

Just half a quarter of an hour ago, Li Tao, who was originally practicing the martial arts of several of his children in his backyard.

Suddenly, I heard a loud noise from the south of the city.

After the loud bang, it was only a moment.

This big iron ball fell directly into his British mansion.

Not only did he smash down several houses in his front yard.

It was better to smash a weapon rack that Li Tao had always regarded as a treasure.

You must know that on this weapon rack, there are all kinds of rare weapons that Li Tao has captured from his various enemies.

Not only is it precious, but the key is that it is also very commemorative.

Now, the weapon rack, which he has always regarded as a treasure, has not only been destroyed.

Many of the weapons on it were also smashed to pieces.

Li Tao naturally couldn't help but be angry.

I saw that my father's face was all black at this time.

Li Tao's two sons stood aside, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

After another long time, Li Tao's eldest son Xu Zhen said loudly:

"Father, although the family has suffered such an unjustified disaster, it is really unlucky."

"But think about the good thing."

"Maybe it's the weapon rack that my father has treasured for many years."

"I have saved these servants of the house from this unwarranted disaster."

After the eldest son Xu Zhen finished speaking, the youngest son Li Wensi also stood up to agree with the eldest brother's statement.

After all, Li Tao is a person because he has fought a lifetime of battles.

I'm used to marching and fighting, and it's the same at home.

Whether it's managing his own two sons or these servants in the family.

That's all a full set of militarized management.

Now that he has been calming his face like this, it can be said that there is no one in the whole family who is not worried.

And the reason why Li Tao's eldest son is called Xin Xu, and the second son is called Li Wensi.

is because Li Tao's original name was Xu Shiqiang, the word Maogong.

It's just that after taking refuge in Li Shimin, he has repeatedly achieved miraculous feats on the battlefield.

That's why he was given the surname of the country and renamed Li Shixian.

and then waited until Li Shimin ascended the throne, in order to avoid Li Shimin's fame.

The word "world" in the name was removed, so the name Li Tao was finally born.

After listening to the words of these two sons, Li Tao stared at his two sons angrily and scolded:

"Is this a calamity? Is this an act of God? This is obviously a man-made disaster! ”

"Before this ghost thing called, did you two boys hear the loud noise in the south of the city?"

"So don't think about it! This must have been made by Lu Heng's fool! ”

Hearing that, Li Tao directly counted this matter on Lu Heng's head.

Xu Zhen and Li Wensi, father and son, couldn't help but change their faces greatly.

hurriedly dissuaded his father and said, "Father, you can't talk nonsense!" ”

"That Lu Pony has always had no grievances with us, how could he do such a thing."

"Your words will reach the ears of Lu Juma, although you are not afraid of him."

"But Wen Si and I are afraid that we will inevitably suffer losses in the future."

"Father, don't talk nonsense......"

saw that his two sons were all afraid of Lu Heng like a tiger.

Li Tao is also not very angry in his heart!

He is a dignified scholar of the Tang Dynasty Military Department and a British duke, and has fought countless battles in his life, and has never tasted half a point of defeat.

Are you still afraid that Lu Heng will not succeed as a colt?

In fact, the reason why Li Tao and his two sons reacted so differently.

It's all because Li Tao has been working outside before.

I don't know much about the big and small matters in Chang'an City.

And his two sons have been living in Chang'an City.

For Lu Heng's prestige, it is naturally like thunder.

In addition, Li Tao is also a member of the Longxi Military Group.

Reasoning should be the party that is good friends with Lu Heng.

That's why his two sons were afraid that their father would be reckless and wronged Lu Heng.

In the end, it will not only make adults look bad.

Even the two brothers will find it difficult to mix in Chang'an City in the future.

However, for Li Tao, although he has fought a lifetime of battles, it is true.

But it's not really just a reckless man with a head full of muscles.

Otherwise, Li Shimin would not have let him lead his troops to be stationed in Bingzhou all year round.

and also gave him the position of the commander of the three armies.

The reason why he could conclude from the loud noise in the south of the city that the iron ball in his hand must have been made by Lu Heng.

That's also because of the intelligence that came back from Shanzhou.

It has basically been confirmed that the merits reported by Wang Xuance and others were not falsified.

Others in the court may not know the details of this matter.

But his newly appointed secretary of the military department is naturally clear.

It's just that he has always been encouraged by Datang's ability to master such a powerful new weapon as gunpowder.

But I didn't expect this thing to hit myself on the head one day.

Therefore, when you hear the servants from outside, come and tell you.

It was said that someone from the palace had sent him to invite him into the palace to face the saint.

Li Tao didn't hesitate at all, and directly asked people to find a piece of silk cloth.

Wrapped in the big iron ball, he went to the palace.

When Li Tao met Li Shimin in the Taiji Palace.

There have been a lot of civil and military ministers gathered in the Taiji Palace.

And, obviously, at this time, Li Shimin had not yet woken up from the excitement of seeing the power of artillery for the first time.

There was excitement written on his face.

And Li Tao was not polite at this time, and directly said to Li Er:

"Minister Li Tao, there is something to present to the emperor."

After Li Er's permission, Li Tao directly opened the silk cloth and exposed the iron ball inside in front of Li Shimin.

Looking at this iron ball, Li Er recognized it at a glance.

Isn't this the shell that Lu Heng used to show him the artillery just now.

Seeing that Li Tao would also bring him one, Li Shimin couldn't help but be quite surprised, and asked:

"Why do you have this?"

"This thing flew to the minister's house and smashed several houses in the minister's house."

"The minister found it in the ruins of his house."

Hearing Li Tao say this, Li Er couldn't help but shrink his neck.

After all, he was also present when the shell went out.

If this responsibility is really calculated, he must have a share in his head.

So in order to avoid embarrassment and appease Li Tao at the same time, Li Er could only say with a dry smile:

"It's all a misunderstanding, when you go back, count the losses at home, and then I will reward you again!"

However, at this time, Li Tao obviously didn't want Li Er's reward.

Pointing directly at the cannonball, he said: "The minister thanked His Majesty for the reward, but the minister still has something to understand." ”

"Before this iron ball flew, I heard a loud bang in the south of the city."

"So I guess it must have something to do with the gunpowder that Lu Fei made."

"It's just that when the minister is confused, the minister's house is at least seven or eight miles away from the military weapons supervisor in the south of the city."

"How did this iron ball fall from the ordnance prison to the minister's house?"
