Di Renjie looked at the small trebuchet in front of him and was puzzled.

Compared with the trebuchet built in Liaodong in the early years of Yunchu, this thing is not much different except for the small size and no counterweight, which requires manpower to pull.

It was a bit sensational that a dozen people could accurately throw a ten-pound stone to the Yun family two hundred steps away by pulling the rope.

The trebuchet is a top-secret national weapon in the army, and there is absolutely no reason for it to be left outside and used at will.

Even if this trebuchet is compared with the siege weapon made by Yun Chu in Liaodong, it still has the lack of power and the need for manpower, which is very close to the trebuchet in the Tang Army in terms of appearance.

Hearing the loud voices of people outside, Di Renjie took Yin Erhu and them out of the courtyard where the trebuchets were placed, and continued to pursue those big cannibals.

Give Li Hong a big scene of performing and directing, and they must hide in the shadows, and leave some clues for the prince to follow, which is more troublesome than catching those big cannibals.

The emperor and empress are not in Chang'an City, and the prince is the largest in this city!

When big people deal with small things, they often try their best.

Therefore, the gate of Chang'an City was immediately sealed, and then one hundred and eight square markets, including the imperial city, and the palace city were also immediately closed, and then Jin Wuwei, the soldiers and horses of the left and right guards were all on the streets.

Countless unscrupulous people, caught quickly, led these soldiers and horses to start a house-to-house search.

The reason why the scene is so big is entirely because Li Hong claimed that he had encountered an assassination! Or a trebuchet assassination!

Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong, and Xin Mao will be frightened after hearing the news.

Xu Jingzong, who had always cowered at home to watch prostitutes riding horses, jumped up from the soft collapse, tore off a bare-ass prostitute, jumped on a horse, and ran frantically to Jinchangfang without having time to put on his shoes.

Once the crown prince is assassinated, whether he is Wu Mei's confidant or not, he will be dismembered by the furious emperor and empress.

In Jinchangfang, I saw the prince standing in front of a table with his fingers, pointing at the Chang'an floor plan on the table, pointing at a group of military generals in armor, looking very angry.

Seeing that the prince was safe and sound, Xu Jingzong only felt that his limbs were weak, sat on the threshold softly, and bowed his hand to the prince and said, "Please return to the palace quickly."

Li Hong saw Xu Jingzong, and deliberately stepped forward to help this person up, and said with a solemn expression, "The big cannibal is plotting to assassinate the orphan"

Xu Jingzong's originally tense face immediately relaxed when he heard this, and he said a little confused, "It's just a big cannibal?"

Li Hong nodded and said, "It's the big cannibal, and now they are searching for the big cannibal in the whole city, and they have also found their sharp weapon to assassinate the palace - trebuchet!"

"Trebuchet?" Xu Jingzong's emotions that had just calmed down immediately rose again, causing his voice to burst.

What is a trebuchet, how important is this thing, how could Xu Jingzong, as the prime minister, not know.

At this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Ji, and Su Dingfang ...... The faces of those who could wield trebuchets had already slipped past his eyes.

After the gunpowder has been dispersed, if the trebuchet is also dispersed, then even if you hide at home and are protected by the tribes, it is definitely not safe.

Suppose gunpowder is used in conjunction with trebuchets...... Xu Jingzong didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

Thinking of this, Xu Jingzong coughed, cleared his throat, and said to General Jin Wuwei, "Since it is certain that the big cannibals did it, then we must arrest all the big cannibals in Chang'an City before sunset."

Don't look at those generals who are all waiting in front of Li Hong, but Li Hong wants to drive them to do things, but it can't be, the emperor and the empress are not there, and there are only a few prime ministers who can use the defensive forces in the city.

The generals left in a hurry to run errands, and Li Yifu and Xin Mao came in a hurry.

Yu Xiurong personally gave the crown prince and the prime minister tea, and then retreated very respectfully.

Li Hong took a sip of tea, sat on the middle seat with a golden knife, and said to the three prime ministers, "I want to repair the East Palace, and I want to get some money for Yun Chu to help me do some small business, the two Taifu, and Xin Xiang want to help Gu."

When the human cat Li Yifu heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "It turns out that the plot to assassinate the prince is fake, is it true that the prince wants to get some money?"

"In this way, it's easy."

Li Hong shook his head and said, "It's true that they want to assassinate Lone, and it's also true that Lone wants to get money from the big cannibal, but they plot to assassinate Lone in the front and Lone wants to get money later, so don't get confused."

General Xin Mao finally figured out the scene at this time, and said with a smile: "There are only a thousand cannibals in this Chang'an City, even if they are robbed of their money, there is not much, and it can't support the big scene of His Royal Highness the Prince."

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince urgently needs some money, a certain family will introduce a few merchants to His Royal Highness the Prince, although the money is not much, but there are still 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a year, why make such a big battle, let the people see the joke in vain."

Li Hong looked at Xin Mao with dissatisfaction, and said, "What do you want to do with the money of the people of the Tang Dynasty?"

Depriving them of money is the biggest joke for lonely families.

If the Great Cannibal hadn't tried to assassinate Lone this time, Lone wouldn't have attacked them, they brought it on themselves."

Li Yifu looked at Li Hong with a smile and said, "Your Highness is wise, it is said that one drink and one peck is not predetermined, since it is the great cannibal who plots to assassinate His Highness, then the great cannibal must bear the corresponding price and accept the corresponding punishment."

The minister thought that His Highness would definitely get his wish."

Li Hong patted the table with his little hand and said, "Okay, money can't be put on the table, it's because there are two Taifu here, so Gu didn't hide his thoughts

This matter is so decided, and the next matter of the trebuchet is the thing that makes the three of them a headache, if this matter is not handled well, the father will definitely not be able to talk about it."

Speaking of trebuchets.

Whether it was Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu and Xin Maojiang, the playful smiles on the faces of the three disappeared.

It's a real big nuisance.

"Where is the beginning of the clouds?" Li Yifu asked the prince's subordinates.

He replied, "Locked up outside the city...... I won't be able to come back for a while."

"Where's the trebuchet?"

"I have been sent to the camp of Jinwuwei, and outsiders have never seen it."

"But my Datang army has standard ordnance?"

"Returning to Li Xiang, there are many differences from the trebuchets in our army, and they are not like the ordnance in our army."

After listening to Hu Cong's answer, Li Yifu breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Xu Jingzong and Xin Mao, "There are still two people who need to cooperate with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, and the old man will personally go to the camp of Jinwuwei to see what the difference is between these two trebuchets, and then we will make a final conclusion." Your Highness, do you think it is feasible?"

Li Hong waved his hand and said, "Although Taifu is busy, it is best to have a conclusion before my father knows, it is best that this thing of trebuchet is not out of the army, otherwise it will be a situation where the head is rolling."

Li Yifu Shi Li said, "The old minister knows"

Li Hong also said, "Once the thief is caught, he will also hand it over to the Taifu, so as not to make people think that this is a pickled thing done by a lonely family to see their wealth."

Li Yifu looked at the crown prince Li Hongdao with satisfaction, "I thought His Highness couldn't take care of this, but I didn't expect His Highness to take care of it for a long time, so that this matter can be handled cleanly, and no one will chew his tongue."

The trebuchet was thrown from Tongshanfang, next door to Jinchangfang, and was erected on the roof of a family, and afterwards these people wanted to destroy the trebuchet, but because Li Hong's search was too fast, these people put the trebuchet off the roof and had to flee quickly.

Tongshanfang is only separated from Qixiamen by a Tongji Fang, and the two ways are connected by a road, and when these big cannibals evacuated from Tongshanfang and passed through Tongjifang, they were seen by many people because of their appearance.

There were many Hu people in Chang'an City, and the people did not feel strange, but when the gate of Fang City was closed and the bad people began to search, people woke up, and it was those damn cannibals who did bad things and came forward to identify them.

When the bad people pursued to Qixiamen in the direction pointed out by the people, they found that these people had escaped from Chang'an City.

So, Jin Wuwei's general called open the city gate and led an army in pursuit, convinced that even if a group of strange-looking aliens escaped from the city, they would not be able to hide for long.

A superior person must be a participant, a demander, in every event related to him, otherwise, others will react for you, which is a great shame for a superior person.

Just like the position on the table, you can choose not to eat, but you must have your own position and utensils, Li Hong is now the prince, and he has the right to go to any table.

Therefore, this time, Li Hong chose to ask for money, just like he chose braised pork on the table, although there are more exquisite meals on it, he is still willing to eat braised pork, which is his personal choice.

Di Renjie not only needs to track down those big cannibals, but also needs to refill the traces erased by these big cannibals, what if the people in the East Palace can't find them?

The great cannibals had no horses, but they ran as fast as camels, and in a few moments they were ten miles away.

After Di Renjie saw a cloud of smoke and dust behind him, he took Yin Erhu and them into a bamboo forest, and after passing through the bamboo forest, they were ready to drink some wine and rest in a small roadside shop.

A group of glittering cavalry roared past the door of the shop, led by a general dressed in bright armor and holding a horse lance, looking very much like a fierce general.

These people are all the team of the prince who was raised by Li Hongsheng thrift, some of them came down from the Western Regions and were really powerful, and some of them were selected by Li Zhi for his son from the royal family and the children of the family, this one is obviously not a royal child or a child of the family.

There is not a single tree in the wilderness of Wannian County, and occasionally there are some small bamboo forests, which have only recently grown, and they are still sparse and sparse when they are more than one person, and there is no way to hide people.

As for the seedlings in the field, they have only grown more than an inch long now, and more than a dozen big cannibals running wildly are particularly eye-catching in such an environment.

Yin Erhu took a sip of the mash that had been chilled with well water, and said to Di Renjie with some concern, "Childe, I'm afraid they won't succeed, right?"

Di Renjie took a sip of the mash and said expressionlessly, "The masters in the prince's six rates are all masters personally selected by His Majesty and the Empress for the prince, so it will be fine."

Yin Erhu smashed it and smashed his mouth and said, "How does the little one feel wrong, just these people, the little one can overthrow them with three brothers" That Bagman, the little one heard from Hou Ye, is the number one fierce general in the Western Regions.

And they just rushed over?"
