Li Hao was lying on the bed with a humming huff. After the old man spoke earnestly and sincerely, he had already deeply realized his mistake and was writing a letter of repentance of 5,000 words.

Well, yes, it can actually be regarded as a book of review, but the Tang Dynasty did not promote this for the time being, so it can only be called a book of regret.

However, he also figured it out now that the reason why the old man came must be related to the face-saving person in the East Palace. The main purpose was to beat him up and vent his anger.

Otherwise, as the old man, the chief general of the Northern Expedition, how could he sometimes come and spend half an hour with him?

Don't say that father and son are in love and care and blame.

Li Hao's mother Hongfu was so concerned and condemned. The old man just took the time to vent his anger for the emperor.

As he thought about it, Li Hao fell asleep unconsciously and twitched from time to time in his dream. I don’t know if he was beaten or scared, but most of the former were probably the former.

When I woke up again, it was noon the next day. I yawned and got up from the bed.

I dare not sit down. My butt was beaten up by the old man yesterday, and it hurts as soon as I sit down.

"Criminal, you are awake." The prison head guarding outside pretended to behave, saw Li Hao awake, and quickly greeted him: "A Turkic man just wanted to see you. Seeing that you were still resting, the villain asked him to wait outside, look..."

"Turkish?" Li Hao turned behind a curtain in the corner and solved the savings for the night, and said slowly: "You bring him in."

"No!" The prison head responded and walked away quickly.

It was not long since I cleaned up, and Bazhuo walked in from outside.

The second Turkic prince, who had been brewing for a long time, staggered with grief on his face. As soon as he met, he immediately said sadly: "Brother Dejian, you have......"

Hey, what's going on?!

In Bazhuo's opinion, he was bound to be beaten after being locked up, which was a good time for him to watch the fun.

As a result, the facts seemed to be very different from his similarity. The man in the prison did not suffer, but his face was rosy and shiny. He did not say anything about everything in the prison, and even there were snacks such as pastries and fruits on the table.

The huge contrast made all the heartfelt words that Ba Zhuo had finally brewed into nonsense, and he was speechless through the railings of the cell.

Is it going to jail or on vacation?! Are the Tang Dynasty prison cells of this level?

Uh..., no, not right.

Ba Zhuo suddenly realized something, and his pupils shrank suddenly. Could it be that this guy was going to be beheaded? Today is the last meal?

Li Hao didn't know that in just a short moment, Bazhuo had a lot of thoughts, and smiled and said, "What's wrong with the Second Prince? I'm so anxious to see me, but what's wrong?"

"Uh... Brother Dejian, what's wrong with you?" Ba Zhuo came back to his senses and asked tentatively.

Li Hao smiled calmly: "Oh, it's nothing big. It's just that His Majesty the Emperor saw that I was too busy some time ago, so he arranged for me to rest here for a while. Second Prince, you know that I am a person who pretends to be working in my heart. I forgot everything when I get busy. It's hard to really relax when I rest at home."

Is this true? Can you still have some shame?

Bazhuo curled his lips disapprovingly, showing his expression of believing you and I was just a hammer: "Brother Dejian, thank you for your hard work."

"For the Tang Dynasty!" Li Hao blew up, his movements were a little bigger, which affected the injuries in certain positions. He grinned in pain, and simply asked directly without hesitation: "Is there something wrong with the Second Prince coming to me today?"

When Li Hao asked, Ba Zhuo also remembered the main purpose of coming here: "Oh, that's right. Xiao Wang came to say goodbye to Brother Dejian today. He has been out of the Turks for a while and he is a little worried about his home, so Xiao Wang will leave Chang'an and return to the Turks tomorrow."

Li Hao was a little surprised, and immediately realized that Ba Zhuo must have felt that he was locked up and could not continue to fulfill his previous promises. He had no thoughts, and it would be meaningless not to return to China and stay in the Tang Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Li Hao couldn't help but smile: "It's good that the second prince is going back, so I just happened to do the preliminary work of the milk powder factory. I will also do my best to operate it. The ten thousand horizontal knives, 50,000 arrows, ten cannons and supporting gunpowder that I promised you will be brought to you by the person in charge of the milk powder factory in half a month."

"Well, Brother Dejian doesn't have to be discouraged. There is an old saying in your country that is right for the right time, place and people. If the luck is not good at this time, even..." Ba Zhuo suddenly paused and looked at Li Hao and said, "You, what did you just say? The previous agreement is still valid?"

Li Hao said: "Of course, it works. Although I, Li Dejian, have a bad reputation in Chang'an, I still have guarantees in terms of credit. The second prince can rest assured about this."

Until he came out of Dali Temple, Bazhuo's mind was still dizzy. He couldn't figure it out even though he had already been brought to prison by their Emperor, how could he have such great energy?

But Bazhuo quickly woke up from his confusion. Instead of thinking about where Li Hao's energy came from, it is better to think about how to operate it when he goes back.

Of course, he also thought about whether Li Hao was still lying to himself, but after thinking about it, Ba Zhuo never thought of the reason why the other party continued to lie to him. After all, this time it was a matter of mutual benefit.

The facts were as Ba Zhuo thought. Not long after he returned to his residence, Mr. Qian, who had met in the Rencheng Palace, came to him with someone.

"Butler Qian is right? I will work hard to protect you and your people when I go to Turks, but you should also know that things in the world are impermanent. Even if I give my all, it will inevitably happen if it happens. Are you... ready?"

Mr. Qian had a little demeanor, his face was not changed, his heart was not beating, and he said with a humility, "The second prince does not have to worry about villains. As the saying goes, life and death are destined, wealth and honor are in heaven. As long as he can complete the tasks assigned by the prince, villains are not worthy of mercy."

Bazhuo nodded, said nothing, and waved his hand to take Butler Qian down.

A little housekeeper is not worth worrying about too much.

The same is true for Mr. Qian. As a bully, he also has no intention of climbing up and pulling up. This is not to say that he cannot climb up and down, but there is no need. Compared with his future son-in-law, the second Turkic prince was not taken seriously by him.

The book says it briefly. When Li Hao arranged for Ba Zhuo, Li Chengqian also went to the Ministry of Revenue with a special mission to find his uncle Changsun Wuji.

Old Changsun is still very optimistic about his nephew. After all, he is a legitimate relative. As long as he can become the emperor in the future, the glory of the Changsun family can continue.

But the problem is that Li Chengqian’s request this time was really too much, which made the old Changsun tremble.

"What did you say? Twenty thousand horizontal swords? Hundred thousand arrows? Gao Ming, what do you... want to do?"

"Uncle, society is developing and the times are progressing. If these things are not sold, they may only be placed in the warehouse in the future and will rust." Li Chengqian stuffed a piece of osmanthus cake into his mouth and said in a mysterious way.

Changsun Wuji listened to the black thread. What kind of thing is this? He can speak human words.

What does society mean and the times are progressing? What do you mean is that I am behind?

Resisting the urge to slap this nephew hard, Changsun Wuji said patiently: "Gao Ming, does Your Majesty know about this?"

Li Chengqian smiled mysteriously: "Don't ask, I just don't know."

Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes gently, and Li Chengqian's evasive words forced him to be careful, for fear of getting on the nephew's pirate ship: "Great, it's not that my uncle doesn't help you, I'm really powerless. You also know that the court is planning the Northern Expedition recently. My uncle is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. This is a big deal to transfer food and grass and recruit people and men, and it is impossible to be careless."

"Well, my nephew knows it, so my uncle just needs to approve a note, and then someone will naturally go to the workshop to pick up the goods."

Is this not to give up until the goal is achieved?

Changsun Wuji was in a dilemma. He knew his nephew's character very well. If he did not agree this time, it would be very likely that he would leave a knot in his heart, which would be very unfavorable to the future.

But if he agreed, Changsun Wuji was afraid that Li Er would have any other ideas.

After a moment of silence, Changsun Wuji coughed dryly: "Cough, it's so smart. It's not a big deal for now. One hundred thousand arrows are not a big deal, but you have to tell your uncle what you want to use for."

This time, Li Chengqian was not vague and said directly: "Sell, Turks, Tubo, half of the family."

"What?" Changsun Wuji almost sat on the ground in fright.

At this critical period, selling swords and arrows to the Turks is just a matter of whether it is good to invest in the enemy. No matter how much money you give, you can't do it.

Seeing that his uncle, who usually collapsed in front of him without changing his expression, looked like he saw a ghost, Li Chengqian was amused and deliberately joked: "Why are my uncle so surprised? Do you think the number is small?"

"I think you are crazy, Gao Ming, listen to your uncle's advice, this kind of thing is not something you can get involved with." While Changsun Wuji said this, he was already considering whether he should continue to support this nephew.

At such a critical period, I don’t know how many pairs of eyes were staring at the Turks, and they dared to sell swords, arrows and weapons at this time. This can no longer be described as being ignorant of the current affairs.

Li Chengqian blinked his eyes and suddenly changed the topic: "Uncle, my nephew has brought a few gifts today. I wonder if my uncle is interested in viewing it?"

What happened to this nephew today? He actually knew to use things to bribe. Changsun Wuji, who was knowledgeable, was immediately amused and cried, shook his head and said, "Great, it's not that my uncle doesn't accept your gift, it's really..."

Before Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Li Chengqian had already waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, uncle, you misunderstood. Just look at the gift, you can't give it to you."

Changsun Wuji: "...".

I brought all the gifts, but I didn’t give them to me. What does this mean?!

Just as he was wondering, he saw that Li Chengqian had already stood up: "Uncle, let's go outside and take a look."

Just take a look, I want to see what good things you have, but you can only see them.

Changsun Wuji's curiosity was also aroused. He stood up and came out of the door with Li Chengqian, standing on the steps and looking out.

I saw that there were three rows of imperial guards standing on one side of the courtyard of the Household Deployment Office, with thirty princes leading six commanders standing in three rows. Each of these imperial guards held a strange-shaped stick in his hand.

In the yard, the officials who usually walked around were gone at this time, and they were obviously driven away by Li Chengqian.

What is this to do? If it weren't for the Liushu Army that only had a few dozen people, Changsun Wuji almost thought that Li Chengqian was planning to control the Ministry of Revenue first and then rebel.

"Uncle, let's go there, it's very dangerous here." Just as he was thinking, Li Chengqian beside him had already walked towards the six-leading imperial guards standing on the side of the compound.

Although he suspected that Li Chengqian was suspected of rebellion, Changsun Wuji followed him. It was not that he was not afraid of death, but that he believed that even if his nephew did, he would not kill him as his uncle.

Time was not long, and the two had already arrived behind the imperial guards. In Changsun Wuji's confused gaze, Li Chengqian gave a wink to Hegan Chengji, the escort leader who had been waiting on the side.

Hegan Chengji understood it, and pointed his head, a sharp cold light flashed in his eyes, and raised his hand up: "Prepare!"

‘Crazy’, all three rows of imperial guards raised the strange stick in their hands.

Changsun Wuji was confused and asked in confusion: "Gao Ming, what are they doing?"

Li Chengqian was faintly excited and rubbed his hands and said, "I'm sure I'm surprised to see my uncle."

The accident is very surprising. As for the surprise... Changsun Wuji didn't think his nephew would give him any surprises.

Over the years, Changsun Wuji, he followed Li Er to travel around the world, and he had eaten more salt than Li Chengqian had. He had long been used to being calm in the face of changes and was not surprised.

But then again, Li Chengqian is the prince after all. Although Changsun Wuji is the uncle, he still has to give him some face. So he nodded and stopped talking, quietly watching the dozens of imperial guards performing.

Hegan Chengji was not vague. Yu Guang saw that the prince was ready and his hands were raised down: "First row, let it go!"

As the sound fell, Changsun Wuji saw the ten imperial guards standing in front taking out a fire note at the same time, shaking it in his hand, and then poking it behind the strange stick when the flames burned, and then posing in a more bizarre shape.

This is doing...

Before Changsun Wuji could figure it out, the strange sticks suddenly made a loud "boom". Then he saw dozens of smoke and dust suddenly exploded on the wall of the Ministry of Revenue, and even the tiles on the wall exploded into countless pieces.

Changsun Wuji was stunned. He had seen the cannon and was powerful, but it was the first time he had seen the musket.

But the Six-Ranking Imperial Guard obviously did not intend to end it. After firing bullets from the muskets in the first row, ten people immediately retreated to the last row, took out an iron bar from their bodies and poked them into the barrel, then took out a small paper bag, poured the gunpowder inside into it.

Maybe it was because these people had not been trained and their movements were a bit unfamiliar.

By the time they filled the gunpowder, the other two rounds of shooting had already passed, so the shooting process was interrupted.
