Chapter 21 Changan Rumors(1/2)

Along the way, Cheng Yaojin's face was like the bottom of a pot. When he came to Li Shimin, he asked: "Why don't you chop that guy?"

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Don't you think this man is loyal and courageous and a talented person?"

Cheng Yaojin said angrily: "So what?

I also saw that he came out to take the blame for the prince, so since he dared to come out, I dared to chop him down!"

Li Shimin patted him on the shoulder and said: "Knowing your integrity, I did not kill him this time because of his loyalty, so he owes me a favor. If I win in the future, he can be used by me; if I lose, I hope

My elder brother can spare your life for the sake of your loyalty to me, and that is enough."

Cheng Yaojin was stunned on the spot, inexplicably moved, and the other soldiers who heard this secretly swore in their hearts that they would follow His Highness to the death! On the third day after Wenyi returned to Chang'an, he heard Changsun Wuji talk about the latest rumors in Chang'an: Wang Shichong led the infantry

Two hundred thousand men and fifty thousand cavalry besieged Qin King Li Shimin at Longpo outside Changshui City.

Originally, in order to save the prince, the King of Qin ordered his troops overnight. He only gathered 5,000 infantrymen and then attacked Changshui City lightly. After capturing Changshui City, he prepared to attack Wang Shiwei's army with the prince in front and back. However, the prince was jealous of the King of Qin's military exploits and threatened his position as crown prince.

, refused to send troops.

Wang Shichong saw the opportunity and personally led 50,000 cavalry to support Wang Shiwei, and attacked the King of Qin's 5,000 infantry. The King of Qin was trapped on Quelong Slope, and his generals suffered heavy casualties, and more than half of his soldiers were lost.

Just when Wang Shichong was about to break through the last line of defense of the King of Qin, auspicious clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, emitting colorful rays of light. The mythical beast Qiongqi stepped on the auspicious clouds and descended from the sky. With one breath, it swallowed up Wang Shichong's 100,000 troops, and with one breath, it blew away Wang Shichong's 50,000 cavalry.

With a wag of his tail, Wang Shichong killed fifty thousand more infantry, and he opened his mouth and roared, Wang Shichong died fifty thousand more. In an instant, Wang Shichong had no soldiers or generals left.

The King of Qin took the opportunity to capture Wang Shichong in one fell swoop.

Seeing that King Qin was fine, Qiongqi flew back to heaven.

Wenyi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Uncle Changsun, who spread this out?

It’s as real as seeing it with your own eyes and being there in person!”

Changsun Wuji shook his head and smiled: "Xiaoyi, this is written by Xu Jingzong. It is so exaggerated that I even blushed, but you still laugh.

It's a blessing that you can help me now, otherwise His Highness would be in danger.

Just what method did you use?

Why are they all rumored to be the mythical beast Qiongqi?

I'm very curious."

Wenyi smiled and said: "It's just an off-road vehicle. When Uncle Changsun is free, go to Wailiu Village and let you have a good time! Now the prince has failed. It can be said that after decades of hard work, once he returns

Before liberation."

Changsun Wuji said: "How can we understand before liberation?

Why haven’t I heard of it?”

Wenyi secretly cursed himself for getting carried away and letting the slip of the tongue slip, and quickly made up for it: "Jiefang is a general term for a family with a certain status, wealth and other strength.

It means that this time the prince will not only be charged with abandoning friendly troops in dangerous places, but also charged with killing his own brothers. This time his vitality will definitely be severely damaged.

Uncle Changsun, I remember that the hillside where His Highness was trapped has no name, why is it called Quelongpo?"

Changsun Wuji curled his lips and said, "This is what Xu Jingzong came up with. Don't ask me."

Literary and artistic talents have paid attention to the key point. Xu Jingzong, the greatest traitor in history, seems to be a good master of pyramid schemes.

Stay away from him from now on.

You have to be extremely careful when dealing with this guy. Even your own daughter can use it to pay back the money, let alone your friends. She might be sold by him at some point.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said at this time: "After this battle, our reputation has been greatly enhanced, and the families that were originally against us have now retreated.

It shouldn't cause us any more trouble in the short term.

Now many people have come to inquire about the regulations for printing and papermaking."

Wenyi thought for a while and said: "Those aristocratic families are really disgusting this time. Not only did they destroy our printing factory, but they also cut off a lot of our money. I want to take this opportunity to give them a good blood bleed to prevent them from having high blood pressure!"

The eldest grandson's eyes flashed and he said, "How about bloodletting?"

Wenyi smiled and said: "There is no need for Uncle Changsun to come forward in this matter. Let your son Changsun Chong and others go outside to leak some inside information to those people. He said that at the winter solstice, printing technology will be auctioned in the Peony Garden for three days. Anyone who wants printing technology will do so."

Just write your quotation and name in the envelope and give it to us. There is no limit to the number of times. We will select the ten companies with the highest bids and hand them over to us for printing.

And help them set up their own printing factory.

The base price is 100,000 yuan, no upper limit."

Changsun Wuji laughed and said: "Chong'er is my eldest son, and what he said is very credible. Now those aristocratic families are a little helpless. When we release this news, we will also announce the actual profits of the printing factory.

Go out, I believe they will rush to grab the food like crazy dogs, hahahaha..." After the two discussed, they made their own arrangements.

Wenyi went to play with Shu'er. After all, he had been tortured by Shu'er for nearly half a year. Now Shu'er suddenly didn't bother him, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

People, especially men, can be so mean sometimes.

Use saltpeter, milk, and fruit to make a few sticks of fruit ice cream, chill it with ice, and then slowly walk towards Shu'er's boudoir.

Because of his young age, he could go in and out of Li Shimin's backyard at will, which Li Shimin tacitly agreed to.

When he reached the door, he shouted: "Shu'er, are you in there?

I've brought you delicious food."

I just heard Shu'er's voice coming from inside: "Here, wait a moment."

After a while, Milk Tea opened the door, and saw that Shu'er's usual lively and cunning demeanor was gone. She was standing at the door slim and graceful, like a lady, and she smiled at Wenyi and invited him in.

Wenyi felt a chill and blurted out: "Shu'er, are you okay?

Why are you so honest?

I’ve never heard of delicious food like this before.”

Shu'er's willow eyebrows stood up, her eyes revealed a fierce look, her ladylike appearance that she had tried so hard to maintain disappeared instantly, her fingers formed into claws, and she shouted: "Nine Yin White Bone Claws!"

Then he rushed towards literature and art.

After a fuss, Wenyi opened the food box and said with a smile: "Shu'er, look, this is my latest apple milk ice cream, come and try it."

Then he picked up the smallest one and handed it to her.

Shuer took a small bite and smiled instantly, but she pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "It's okay, just so-so."

Wenyi gave the biggest one to the milk tea again, picked up the medium one and ate it, while eating, he said: "This thing is suitable for summer. It is already late autumn, so you can't appreciate its beauty."

Shu'er looked at the milk tea's ice cream, then looked at her own, and got so angry: "Why is the milk tea's ice cream so big, but mine is the smallest?"

I want to eat a big one."

Wenyi looked away and said: "She is fourteen, so she can eat more. You are still young, only eight years old. Don't make trouble. If you eat too much, you will have a stomachache."

Shu'er choked so much with one sentence that she turned around and ate ice cream by herself, no longer caring about literature and art.

Wenyi had no choice but to return to the guest room in despair.

I don't understand why Shu'er's temper has become so weird.

Five days later, Li Shimin led his army back to Chang'an. Li Yuan personally led a hundred officials to greet him in front of the palace. Li Shimin presented his captive Wang Shichong.

Li Yuan issued an order to personally appoint Li Shimin as Tiance General, who could establish a government office.

Li Shimin knelt down again to thank His Majesty for His grace, and the official prisoner presentation process ended. It was around seven o'clock in the evening when Li Shimin returned to the palace.

When the prince received the news of Li Shimin's return, he started killing pigs and sheep early to prepare for the celebration banquet.

Wenyi also enthusiastically roasted a whole lamb himself.

All the officials and generals of the Prince of Qin's Palace were present. Literary and artistic people without official posts didn't want to come, but Changsun Wuji arranged for him to take the first position on Li Shimin's left hand.

Wenyi didn't dare to sit down, but Changsun Wuji pushed hard and asked Yuchi Jingde to look at him. In desperation, he reached an agreement: not to tell his identity and achievements, and just drink.

Everyone sat down, and those who knew the truth looked at Wenyi in a friendly manner, while those who didn't know the truth looked at him with confusion, wondering why Li Shimin put this young boy at the top.

Li Shimin also looked at Wenyi happily, raised his glass and said: "Brothers, I was able to escape the disaster this time because of literature and art. Come on, let me have a drink with Wenyi."

Wenyi hurriedly picked up the wine glass, gave a four-way salute and said: "It's a matter of duty, Your Highness has promoted this young man, and this young man is ashamed to deserve it."

Li Shimin drank the wine in one gulp and said: "Xiao Yi, you are fully aware of this dangerous situation. I know your thoughts, but you must drink this glass of wine. I can only thank you in this way now."

I had no choice but to have a drink.

This is when Li Shimin raised his glass again and said: "Brothers, without further ado, this great victory is hard-won. Your Majesty has allowed me to open a government office. It can be said to be a double blessing. Drink three glasses and you will win!"

Everyone immediately put aside their doubts about literature and art. After three glasses of wine, the atmosphere immediately became high. During the period of drinking and drinking, the civil servants issued drinking orders, the generals blew their beards and glared, drank from large bowls, and ate meat with large mouthfuls. It was very lively.

Wenyi took the opportunity to slip away quietly... The next morning, as soon as Li Shimin sobered up, he sent someone to invite Wenyi to the study.

After the meeting ceremony, Li Shimin asked: "Xiao Yi, why don't you let me tell the story about the warrior?

It’s also a good way to scare those young people.”

Wenyi said: "The biggest advantage of the warriors at present is their mystery. If anyone knows that we have this big killer weapon, we will definitely take action to rob it. If others don't tell, it will be difficult for you to deal with His Majesty and the Crown Prince alone."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "That's true. Can warriors be mass-produced?

I want to equip a warrior unit.

Then why worry about the world being unfair?"
