Chapter 461:

...

"Your Majesty is here!" A sharp eunuch's voice sounded outside.

When Li Chengqian heard the voice of the duck, he knew that the old eunuch beside Old Li shouted.

Qianniu Guards on both sides of the courtyard gate lined up, and Lao Li's honor guard walked in, and then he saw Lao Li wearing a gorgeous yellow dragon robe and a pearl crown on his head. The crown was like a bridge, and there were more than a dozen strings of pearls hanging in front of his forehead. He walked and swayed, and it was very swaying! …

Damn, it wasn't that Lao Li was so grand when the powder barrel of Cheng Mansion exploded?

Li Chengqian knew that wearing this outfit was particularly troublesome. No matter how handsome the old Li was, he wouldn’t wear this outfit without any trouble?

Behind Old Li in Fengsāo is Li Jing, Yuchi Gong, Li Xiaogong, and Fang Xuanling. They are all wearing very formal official uniforms. Judging from this situation, it seems that the court meeting has been moved here.

Li Chengqian and Cheng Laohuo walked quickly to the front and saluted Lao Li.

Old Li hurried over to help Cheng Lao Huo up. Li Chengqian hung aside first. He helped Cheng Lao Huo up with affectionate eyes and sincere feelings. He asked in a trembling voice: "I just met the Tubo envoy, and suddenly heard a thunder rising up. When I asked Qianniuwei, I realized that there was a thunder sound in Cheng's mansion. Then I threw the Tubo envoy in the palace and came to visit Cheng Aiqing. I wonder if Cheng Aiqing and his family are safe?".

Mr. Cheng was so grateful that he burst into tears and snot. He wiped his left sleeve and his right sleeve, and replied in a choked voice: "Your Majesty, I... I am so grateful that I am so full of my heart. At this moment..." He was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Old Li quickly supported him, patted his back, and said, "Don't be excited. Don't be excited..."

"Yes, yes... the old minister's family is all good! I feel ashamed!" Cheng Lao Huo wiped his tears clean. He raised his head and said guiltily, "I didn't inform His Majesty of the matter before, which made His Majesty worry!"

Old Li asked casually: "Cheng Aiqing, how did the thunder just now come out? Can you tell me if you listen?"

"Your Majesty, this is the thing. Now, the Crown Prince visited the humble house. When His Highness said that the sound of thunder and a powerful thing that could split a stone, I felt aroused for a moment, and I studied it in depth with His Highness, and finally made a name for it..." He said this and looked at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian added: "Gunpowder."

"Yes, gunpowder. After I got it out, I came to the backyard to try it. Guard Long asked me to hide in the hall. He was lighting the fire outside. Unexpectedly, with a bang, the ground moved, the room collapsed, and when I came out, I saw this situation. Your Majesty and everyone, please come with me!" Cheng Laohuo led Lao Li and Li Jing and others to the next to the gunpowder barrel pit and pointed at it for them to see.

There are also the broken stones, broken trees, broken roofs, cracked walls, and shaking pillars.

When Lao Li and Li Jing saw this scene, they were so surprised that they opened their mouths wide. They really couldn't believe that such a scene was created by man!

Li Jing was a military god and a murder god. When he saw this scene, he sighed: "The stones are broken, what if they are humans? What if they are cities?"

Li Xiaogong continued: "People destroyed the city and collapsed, and they were invincible!"

Fang Xuanling said seriously: "Don't spread it outside!"

Old Li said with a yin face and said, "No one must be allowed to get close to Cheng Mansion, let alone go into the backyard."

Su Dingfang's face turned solemn and replied loudly: "Here."

After the orders continued, the soldiers in the backyard were no longer piled up and surrounded Lao Li. They all scattered into the yard, a distance away from Lao Li and the others.

Cheng's mother and Cheng Wenxiao knew that such a scene was not suitable for them, so they also retreated to the side with Qianniuwei.

Now there are only Li Chengqian and other core figures of the Tang Dynasty.

"Where is this thing? It has such a powerful power. Take it out and show it to me!" Old Li said excitedly.

Of course he was happy with such a big killer.

Li Chengqian took out a small cannon from his arms and said, "Father, this is this thing."

Under the curious eyes of Lao Li and others, Li Chengqian stretched out his hand, put one in his hand, and said, "Father, I'll try one for you."

Old Li glared at his eyes and tried one. The big pit under his feet and the broken stone were the destructive power created by this little thing. Li Chengqian actually said that he would try this. He would not take his life in his eyes, nor would he take the five or six core members of the Tang Dynasty here in his eyes. Once he exploded here, the Tubo people in the palace would be laughed at.

Lao Li wants to stop him.

But Li Chengqian had already lit up and almost scared Lao Li and his men and others to pee with a bang.

Li Chengqian just felt a kind of impact pain in his hand, and then disappeared.

It seems that there is no problem with firing a gun in your hands.

Seeing that there was not such a big disturbance, Old Li calmed down and then suspected Li Chengqian.

"Is this thing you really the one that made thunder just now?" Old Li asked.

Li Chengqian told the difference between the powder barrel and the small cannon, which made Lao Li and others believe it.

Then Lao Li and several ministers divided the firecrackers in Li Chengqian's hand together, looked left and right, and then followed Li Chengqian, put the cannon in his palm, ignited it and let the firecrackers explode in his palm.

The continuous sound of firecrackers rang in the Cheng Mansion.

Several old men were addicted to playing. After finishing the cannon in their hands, they even reached out to ask Li Chengqian for it.

Li Chengqian shrugged and said, "It's gone."

They then withdrew their hands in a little disappointed manner.

After experimenting with the appearance of firecrackers, they also had some intuitive understanding of gunpowder and an objective understanding of the pit on the ground.

They gathered together and discussed the purpose of gunpowder, and soon reached an agreement.

Old Li turned his head and said to Cheng Lao Huo: "Only a minister like Cheng Aiqing who is dedicated to the country will come up with such a killing weapon. Okay, I will plan to come up with a reward after I return to the palace and then give a formal order. Now that the invention of this gunpowder is made, we can study how to apply this gunpowder to the battlefield, so I have decided to set up a gunpowder bureau. Since Cheng Aiqing is one of the inventors of this gunpowder, the gunpowder bureau will be left to you to manage. I believe you will use the gunpowder better on the enemy!"

"I, thank Your Majesty for your kindness!" Cheng Laohuo was upright, bowed his hand and bowed to Lao Li.

Old Li looked at Fang Xuanling and then added: "Where should be chosen for the construction of this gunpowder bureau and how to send troops to protect it, it will be discussed by Li Aiqing, the Prince of Hejian and Cheng Aiqing. Remember, gunpowder must not be left exposed!"
