Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

While chatting, Li Qiu also asked Du Gou how the government affairs in Cangzhou were.

Especially the previously planned port and the construction of huge ships.

Du Gou naturally answered truthfully.

It is said that [-]% of the current port has been established.

As for the giant ships, construction has not yet begun.

On the contrary, more than a dozen large ships have been built for initial trials and for accumulating experience.

Whether it can go to the far sea is still unknown.

But it is relatively easy to reach Goguryeo and fight from land and sea.

Hearing this, Li Qiu couldn't help nodding.

Du Gou's work efficiency and diligence are far beyond his imagination.

The construction of this port and ships also exceeded my expectations.

At the same time, when Du Gou was in Cangzhou, he led local fishermen and common people to go fishing.

And sell all kinds of rare seafood to Furong Restaurant to get rich.

Li Qiu also greatly appreciated it.

In this New Year's Eve, the secret military factory underground in Furong Garden is still in an orderly manner, manufacturing and producing matchlock guns and red cannons.

After all, there are too few workers here.

Just dozens of people.

The daily output is really limited.

Even if you want to assemble the thousand-man firearms team in the Furong Garden.

It will take at least half a year.

And the matchlock gun and the red cannon are still Li Qiu's trump card at the bottom of the box.

It's not yet time for exposure and mass production.

Anyway, with nothing to do, Li Qiu can feel more at ease when they are made by top craftsmen like them.

The quality of the products produced can also be much higher.

And like Li Chunfeng, although the matchlock guns and red cannons at present have reached Li Qiu's heart standard.

However, as a top master of martial arts, he naturally strives for perfection and has a greater motivation.

Because he also once said by Li Qiu that his master's top-notch Heavenly Thunder Artifact.

It can kill people at a distance of two thousand steps.

The enemy fell in response, and there was absolutely no way to dodge.

Or, there is also a kind of sky thunder magic weapon, which can continuously fire [-] projectiles in each breath.

And at this level, the time for firing a stick of incense is continuous.

Thinking of this, Li Chunfeng was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

Compared with this top-notch heavenly thunder weapon, the arquebus made by myself now.

It's like a baby babbling.

The difference is too much.

Since then, Li Chunfeng's whole world view has changed accordingly.

He no longer wants to follow his master, to follow the Taoist unity of man and nature.

The method of soaring through hundreds of refinements.

What he wanted was to painstakingly study Li Qiu's top-level Heavenly Thunder Artifact drawn by his master.

Moreover, he also fully believed that what Li Qiu said was true.

Now, they have even manufactured such incredible artifacts as matchlock guns and red cannons.

I believe that those described by Li Qiu must have a chance.

……

On the other side, in Wu Wangfu.

Quan Wanji respectfully knelt down in front of Wu Wang Li Ke.

Slowly pour wine for Wu Wang Li Ke.

Maybe it's also because he didn't drink less wine, today Quan Wanji's emotion is far more than before.

"Oh, in the blink of an eye, several years have passed."

"Your Highness, you have also grown from a young boy to this point."

"I believe that if Master Feng's In-Heaven Spirit sees it, he will definitely feel relieved for His Highness."

Hearing this, Wu Wang Li Ke gave a self-deprecating snort.

"If it's a teacher, the old man really has a spirit in the sky."

"When you see this king's lonely virtue."

"I'm afraid I will definitely feel emotional, scolding me, calling me a waste, it's useless..."

Seeing Li Ke, king of Wu, looking downcast, Quan Wanji couldn't stop persuading him.

"There are some things in this world that simply don't make sense."

"Your Highness, after all, you are a concubine, and you still have the blood of the previous dynasty on your body."

"After Lord Feng and Lord Xiao have left, how can anyone still support you, Your Highness?"

"So it is very difficult for His Highness to do what he is doing now."

"I believe that if the prince is thrown away, the three direct princes, King Wei and King Jin."

"Which prince can be compared with your Highness?"

At this time, Wu Wang Li Ke shook his head in disappointment without any expectations.

"It's enough to have these three mountains."

"Actually, Wan Ji, I'll tell you the truth."

"In my heart, I have almost given up on those unreachable and illusory thoughts."

"Now that things have happened, I can see clearly that in this life, I have no hope at all."

"Maybe it's the same as what Xiao Yu said to me at the end."

"Let go of all these, and I can still enjoy a life of glory and wealth."

"However, in my heart, I always carry that breath, unwilling to be reconciled."

"When I was still young, my mentor (Feng Deyi) was still alive."

"Just keep telling me, no matter when it comes, don't take the initiative to give up this idea."

"God will definitely give me a chance and bless me."

"And now, I, Li Ke, don't ask for anything."

"I just hope that you can open your eyes, even if you give me Li Ke a chance..."

Chapter 1004 The Last Battle

Seeing Li Ke like this, Quan Wanji sighed softly in his heart.

Give birth to a thick sense of tragedy, sorrow, and desolation.

Judging from the current situation, His Highness King Wu's so-called hope.

I'm afraid it's not as good as the moon in the water or the flowers in the mirror.

There is no light or shadow to be seen at all.

But even so, His Royal Highness King Wu still persisted.

In order not to let the late Lord Feng Deyi Feng and so many veterans of the former court go to waste.

Now, there are not many people left by His Highness King Wu's side.

At this time, if I don't support him anymore, who else will support him?

Thinking of this, Quan Wanji stood up suddenly.

He lifted up his robe, and immediately paid homage in front of Li Ke.

Following that, his tone was extremely firm, and his expression was even more awe-inspiring: "Your Highness, I am Quan Wanji, and I will only serve one master in my life."

"No matter how thorny the future is, Wan Ji is willing to follow His Highness forever."

"Will never die."

"I will live up to His Highness's kindness to each other."

Seeing Quan Wanji like this, Li Ke also had a warm current rolling in his chest at this time.

Immediately got up and took a quick step, supporting Quan Wanji up with both hands.

Then he sighed deeply, "Oh, Wan Ji!"

"I think back then, Li Ke was surrounded by a lot of talents, and I don't know how many courtiers defended him."

"But now, the trees have fallen and the monkeys have scattered, and you are the only one left, following me all the time."

"If in the future, I, Li Ke, come to my conclusion, Wan Ji, you will be No.1 in this world."

"Your lifelong wish is a dream of a phase, and I will help you fulfill it."

"Your wife, children, children, and descendants will surely be blessed by the emperor forever!"

……

Two days before Shangyuan Festival.

Li Qiu and Luo Kexin were both carrying extremely rich gifts.

Came to meet at the mansion of Qin Qiong, Lord Yi.

Qin Qiong's family is no stranger to the two of them.

There was no need to report, and he was directly invited in by the people in the mansion with great enthusiasm.

Afterwards, Qin Qiong was also in a good mood and came out to greet her.

"Li Qiu, Ke Xin, you two children."

"Why do you need to bring so many things when you arrive at your own home?"

"It is the valuables of the two carriages that you sent before, and they are still there."

"Your uncle and I have really had a breeze in our sleeves all our lives."

"Now it's done by you, and I feel like I'm taking bribes."

While joking, they came to the living room.

At this time, Qin Li also got the news, and hurried over to pay respects to Li Qiu and Luo Kexin.

Luo Cheng's mother is Qin Qiong's aunt.

As for the relationship between Luo Cheng and Qin Qiong brothers, it goes without saying.

So Luo Kexin and Qin Li are also very close.

Qin Qiong treats Luo Kexin and Li Qiu like his own children.

That's why Li Qiu was framed by the East Palace and went to Tubo alone.

Qin Qiong followed the reason why he went without hesitation.

During the ensuing chat, Luo Kexin looked at Qin Qiong's sallow complexion.
