In the evening, Tianshui County, the capital of the Xue Qin Dynasty, was in a bustle, except for the personnel on duty on the city wall, everyone inside and outside the military camp ate meat and drank wine.

"Come, keep drinking!"

"This battle is really painful, His Royal Highness the King of Qin uses soldiers like a god!"

"I knew that His Highness was brave before Daxing...... Why don't you see Your Highness? ”

"What about Erlang people? I've been in for so long, I'm afraid I'll get drunk? ”

"Hahaha!"

When Li Shimin opened his eyes, he heard the noisy and laughing voices of the soldiers of the county guard mansion outside, which made him a little dazed for a while.

Fortunately, the box was on the ground next to it, and Li Shimin picked up the binoculars from inside, glanced at it a few times, and confirmed that it could indeed see in the distance, before relieving himself.

It's very useful!

Li Shimin put away a few binoculars alone, and the rest remained in the box and stored in the room.

After thinking about it, he took out the compound bow from it, removed the sight, took another bag of tea, and left the lychee and mango, and took out the rest of the fruit together.

Li Shimin went outside, Chai Shao's eyes were sharp, and he picked up the wine jug and shouted at him: "Why did Erlang squat for so long?" ”

The word squatting is used wonderfully.

"Hahaha!"

All the soldiers in the county guard house laughed together.

Defeating and capturing Xue Rengao had actually won a great victory, but Li Shimin ordered not to celebrate until the army entered Tianshui County, and a group of generals with their guards went to rob the property of hundreds of officials of the Xue Qin Dynasty and plundered the big households in the city to vent the sultry grievances suffered for more than a month.

Only the county guard's mansion, that is, the Xue Ju "Imperial Palace", was spared from disaster.

Li Shimin waited for a long time before ordering the army to return to the camp and closed the city gate to celebrate.

The officials in the city brought the people to offer wine and meat tremblingly, and Li Shimin accepted all of them, so that they could go home and stay in peace.

"Don't worry, there will be a time when you get drunk and talk nonsense."

Li Shimin called a guard who was drinking, handed him the paper bag, and said: "This is tea, you take it and find someone to boil a few large pots of water, and gradually put in the tea after the water boils, and the taste is suitable." When it's done, bring it with the pot! ”

"Tea?"

Li Jing was a little inexplicable, why did King Qin still care about making tea?

But he didn't say much, picked up the bag and walked out into the street, where the cook was outside.

The soldiers did not have iron pots for scholars, so they used kettles or clay pots to cook vegetables and water.

Holding the tea, Li Jing felt wrong, and after walking out of the gate of the county guard's mansion, he carefully examined the bag and found that it looked like paper, but it was much better than ordinary paper.

He studied it for a while before he tried to tear open the seal with all his might, and saw that the dried leaves inside the paper bag were not tea cakes.

Li Jing pinched some and looked at it carefully, smelled it again, and a fragrance came to his nose.

He was more and more amazed.

The paper bag alone was so delicate that the tea leaves inside were more fragrant than the tea cakes, and he couldn't help but want to taste them.

After stopping his thoughts, Li Jing quickened his pace and walked to the place where the men were cooking, they happened to be boiling water before crushing the tea cakes and preparing to cook them and send them to the generals to drink.

Li Jing asked them to stop, grabbed a small handful of dried tea leaves, and put them in the boiling water.

Tea leaves from 1,500 years later, after being soaked in boiling water, the fragrance of tea spreads, so that a group of originally confused men can't help but take a few deep breaths and call for fragrant tea!

"It's a good tea, indeed!"

Li Jing sighed again and tasted the taste with a spoon, although it was hot, it still couldn't hide the sweetness and sweetness in the tea, and the charm was endless.

In the same way, tea was also added to other kettles, and Li Jing ordered his husband to carry the kettle and send it to the King of Qin with him.

Back in front of the mansion, Li Jing heard laughter coming from inside.

"Your Highness, this strange bow can't look at it, no wonder Xue Ju will lose to us."

"You see, this wheel spins when it draws the bow!"

"What kind of bow did Xue Ju make in his life? It's better to throw it away! ”

Strange bows?

Li Jing walked into the front yard of the mansion and took a look, and sure enough, he saw His Royal Highness the King of Qin holding a strange bow in his hand, with protruding wheels at both ends.

"Whoosh!!"

Li Shimin let go of his hand, and the arrow broke through the air, hitting the target hanging on the wall, and the arrow pierced deep into it.

Li Jing's pupils shrank suddenly.

The surrounding soldiers were shocked, and many people shouted:

"What a quick arrow!"

They are all good at using bows, and at a glance the arrows fired by this bow are comparable to those of a two-stone strong bow.

But the appearance of His Highness pulling the bow just now really didn't look like the arm strength used to pull the strong bow.

"Good bow!"

Li Shimin admired and handed it to Qu Tutong on the side, "General Qu will also give it a try." ”

The veteran Qu Tutong was interested in this strange bow for a long time, so he immediately took it, took an arrow, and pulled the string with the bow.

"Xue Ju this bow—"

He sensed the extraordinaryness of the bow, and when the arrow was fired, the power was beyond his expectations.

Although because of the first use, the accuracy is a little worse.

"Your Highness!" Qu Tutong looked at him in surprise, "This Xue Ju can actually make such a strange bow?!" ”

"I don't know how he made it."

Li Shimin smiled mysteriously and greeted everyone: "You all come and give it a try." ”

When the soldiers heard this, they gathered around, and everyone who tried it exclaimed in amazement.

This strange bow is not too strong, the power is between two and three stones, but the arm strength required is much less, so they are all startled by the abnormal power of the arrow when they release the arrow.

After pulling the bowstring, hold it with a small force, and let go of the hand, but the arrow has the power of a heavy bow.

"Your Highness, this bow is really a sharp weapon."

After Yin Kaishan tried this bow, he was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly suggested that he should quickly find a craftsman to make this bow in the city.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Today's entry into the city has already disturbed everyone in the city, how can you alarm them again?" The gates are closed, and it is not too late to find them tomorrow. ”

"Your Highness is merciful." Yin Kaishan saluted.

The soldiers also praised one after another.

At this time, the fragrance of tea gradually diffused, and Li Shimin beckoned everyone to come and drink tea, and gave them one of the fruits brought from Chu Zhen.

The tea was still hot, but the fragrance was so fragrant that the soldiers couldn't care about it, so they asked for a bowl of tea with a bowl.

Du Ruhui, Duan Zhixuan, Hou Junji and others applauded after tasting it, and they drank tea more fiercely than wine.

Li Jing also tried the strange bow, and after the arrow was fired, he was also frightened by the power of the arrow.

"This bow...... Is it really made by Xue Ju's life? ”

With doubts, Li Jing found Zhai Changsun, who was drinking sullenly, outside the crowd and asked him about the situation.

"I don't know, maybe there is, but I've never seen one."

Zhai Changsun shook his head.

He was newly subordinated to the Tang Army, and originally served as the internal history commander under Xue Ju, if Xue Ju ordered this bow to be made, he should also hear about it.

But it wasn't until King Qin walked out of the palace and took out this bow that he heard about it for the first time.

Li Jing groaned slightly, and said to him in a low voice: "The next time someone asks you, you will say that there is, but I don't know which craftsman made it." ”

Zhai Changsun glanced at King Qin in the crowd from a distance, and then agreed.

Li Jing returned to King Qin, returned the paper bag and some remaining tea leaves to His Royal Highness, and mentioned Zhai Changsun's affairs slightly.

"The pharmacist is thoughtful and brave in battle, and he only wants to be guarded."

Du Ruhui on the side said approvingly, looking at King Qin.

"I was negligent."

Li Shimin sighed, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, you will go to the city to find craftsmen, and when you go back, you will be rewarded for meritorious deeds!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Li Jing looked happy and saluted and thanked him.

After retiring, Li Jing also took a bowl and was about to ask for tea, but a group of soldiers were pouring it heavily, and he finally squeezed in and got the last half bowl of tea.

"Alas, that's a few."

Li Jing smacked his lips, feeling the taste of tea in his mouth, if he wants to drink it in the future, I'm afraid it won't be so simple, this tea can only be taken out by King Qin.

"Pharmacist Li!"

Du Ruhui called him and asked him to boil all the remaining tea leaves, put more water, and don't need to take back the paper bag, let him keep it.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Li Jing took the bag and weighed it, this exquisitely made bag, with a clever seal, was just right for holding something.

And there is a tea fragrance left in the bag.

After he left, Du Ruhui said in a low voice: "Your Highness has something on your heart?" ”

When His Highness left before, he was still beaming after a great victory, but when he returned with a strange bow, tea, and fruit, he became a contemplative appearance from time to time.

"It's something."

Li Shimin raised his head and took a sip of wine.

"Maps?"

"No, it's Mr. Liu."

Li Shimin looked at him and said: "I won't stay in Longxi for long, I will leave it to you here, do more benevolent government, and be sure to let the subjects of Longxi return to their hearts." ”

Du Ruhui agreed, and said that he would try to divide Li Liang's forces and make Longxi completely stable.

King Qin really walked quickly, stayed for less than ten days, and led 70,000 troops to return to Chang'an with Xue Rengao, Zong Luohu and others.

On the way, Li Shimin, who was riding on a horse, couldn't help but think about how to intercede with Liu Wenjing, so that when his father killed Xue Rengao, he would piggyback on Liu Wenjing, Yin Shishi and others together.

Nor did he believe in death.
