Li Shimin

On the other side, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and the others were also full of joy, looking at these old farmers in front of them, they felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment!

"Aye, the land is frozen again!"

Suddenly, there was a shout from the side.

Li Shimin, Li Xuan and the others looked back and found that at some time, those dozens of young men had already dug a ditch two feet deep and three feet long on the ground.

However, due to the freezing cold, these young adults can only go half a finger deep into the soil every time they go down with a pickaxe, and there is a dull sound. Obviously, after a lot of effort, the ground is frozen again!

Seeing this, all the old farmers looked anxious, and quickly turned their heads to Li Shimin and cupped their hands.

"Please forgive me, my lord. The cold wind is too strong. Now the land is frozen again. The old man is going to collect some firewood and continue to burn the land!"

"It's me who disturbed you old men, old man, please do your own thing!" Li Shimin apologized.

Soon, a group of old farmers and a group of half-grown boys disappeared into the woods behind them.

"Proprietor?"

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others stepped forward, looking at Li Shimin expectantly.

"Go ahead, see and talk!"

After looking up for a while, Li Shimin said slowly.

"Yes!"

Fang Xuanling and grandson Wuji agreed.

As for Li Xuan, he was dragged around Li Shimin by Li Chenglu who was curious about everything.

Afterwards, Li Shimin walked forward to several villages for a certain distance, and asked several old farmers.

It was found that these old farmers respected the magistrate of Weinan County very much and praised them unceasingly.

Therefore, Li Shimin was relieved, and he was in a good mood.

"Go, I'll wait to enter the city!"

"Yes, proprietor!"

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and the others responded quickly, that at this time of year, standing by the river, the cold wind whizzes like a knife into the neck and shoes.

After such a short time, they were all shivering from the cold.

Hearing this, Li Xuan also pulled Li Chenglu into the carriage.

Soon, the convoy followed the avenue and headed straight for Weinan County.

"Boom..."

Suddenly, a muffled sound came into the carriage.

Li Xuan's expression changed, the sound was definitely the sound of a bomb exploding!

"alert!"

Outside the car, Li Wei, Zheng Fu and other guards also reacted, and immediately looked around vigilantly.

……

Chapter 838 My father's official position is not worth mentioning

Inside the carriage, Li Xiaogong also had a dignified expression.

But Li Shimin had a strange expression on his face.

Seeing this, a trace of doubt flashed in Li Xuan's eyes.

"Your Majesty, do you know the source of the bomb explosion?"

"Boom!"

Just as Li Xuan finished speaking, there was another loud noise in the distance!

Zheng Fu, Li Wei and others outside the car followed the sound and locked on the location of the explosion. A team of personal guards rode their horses and rushed in the direction of the explosion!

at the same time.

On the bank of the Weihe River, one mile away from the convoy of Li Shimin and others, thousands of young and strong old farmers are forming a circle, each staring at the big hole in the middle that is bigger than a copper bell. !

After a while, after the group of young and strong came back to their senses, they all looked at Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others with burning eyes, as if they were looking at gods.

"Master Mingfu is so powerful!"

"With this fetish, we will surely be able to dig ditches for all the fields in the cold winter!"

"Master Mingfu is kind, and it is a blessing for me and all the people in Weinan County to have Master Mingfu..."

"You folks and elders don't need to do this. This place has just been blasted and needs to be excavated quickly. Wait a little longer, and the ground below will be frozen and it will be difficult to dig!"

Li Chengqian waved his hand and urged in a soft voice, without falling into the flattery of the common people at all.

"Follow the orders of Master Mingfu!"

A group of young men hurriedly responded, and immediately a dozen young men took picks and shovels and jumped into the big pit to dig.

The upper layer of soil was frozen, but the soil two feet deep was still soft.

As long as the digging speed of these young and strong people exceeds the freezing speed of the cold wind, the land in front of them will never freeze.

Moreover, this is winter, the more you work hard, the warmer you will be.

Therefore, a group of young and strong men began to excavate each other.

Seeing the people digging in an orderly manner, a trace of satisfaction flashed in Li Chengqian's eyes.

Then, he turned around and gave instructions to the two middle-aged men behind him.

"Liu Xiancheng, Liu Xianwei, follow me to the next ditch, and continue to blow holes for the people!"

"Follow the orders of the Ming government!"

Liu Yuanchu and Liu Ding looked at each other, and hurriedly followed Li Chengqian and others out.

After seeing the power of the bomb, Liu Yuanchu and Liu Ding were even more shocked.As the county lieutenant and county magistrate of Weinan County, the two were both from aristocratic families, and their knowledge is far from that of those ordinary people.

The magic weapon that can blow up such a big hole in the ground is obviously the magic weapon of the bomb that was passed down among the Tang family.

Bombs are artifacts in the military, and the court guards them extremely strictly.

And this Ming family can obtain such a fetish from Chang'an, the family background must be extremely deep, far beyond what they thought before, at least he is a child of the Duke's family!

Fortunately, they have been very respectful and obedient to this Xiaoming Mansion in the past few months!

Thinking about it, the two couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief!

"Darang be careful!"

Just as Liu Yuanchu and Liu Ding were thinking, the guards brought by Li Chengqian beside them changed their expressions suddenly, and they quickly guarded in front of Li Chengqian and others, staring ahead with a full face of wariness.

"Who are you waiting for?"

At this time, Liu Yuanchu and Liu Dinglai discovered that at some point in the distance, a group of cavalry appeared.

These cavalrymen were all wearing armor and carrying steel knives on their waists. They were obviously generals of the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing this, the expressions of Liu Yuanchu and Liu Ding changed slightly again. Thinking of the explosion just now, their eyes were full of worry. Could it be that the bomb was stolen by this Xiaoming Mansion?

However, what Liu Yuanchu and Liu Ding didn't expect was that after seeing the Weinan County Ming Mansion behind the guards, they took another look at the pile of blasted holes behind them, and then they rode their horses directly to go back.

"Why are you running, and you haven't said who you are?"

Yuchi Baolin on the side was full of anger, and chased forward a few steps, shouting at the top of his voice.

Regardless, the group of strange cavalry had already disappeared behind the hill, Yuchi Baolin could only snort coldly with hatred all over his face.

"Da Lang, I always feel that these cavalrymen look familiar!"

A guard beside Li Chengqian reported carefully.

"Ok?"

Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and the others immediately looked at the guard.

"Li Gai, have you seen those cavalry before?"

"I also ask Da Lang to forgive me. The villain just thinks it looks familiar, but I can't remember exactly where I saw these cavalry!" The guard quickly replied.

"Forget it if you can't remember!"

Li Chengqian waved his hand casually, "These cavalry should be attracted by the sound of bombs waiting for us, just be careful later!"

"Yes, Dalang!"

A group of guards reported the report solemnly, and only they, the guards, knew the meaning of Da Lang's caution.

Immediately, several guards went directly in the direction where the group of cavalry disappeared just now.

As for Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others carried a box of bombs and continued to dig the next ditch.

……

In the carriage, facing Li Xuan's puzzled gaze, Li Shimin smiled sarcastically.

"Xuan Ba, two days ago, Gao Ming asked me for a hundred bombs to dig ditches for the common people!"

"clever?"

Hearing this, both Li Xuan and Li Xiaogong couldn't help being taken aback.

Immediately, he thought about it.

Both of them vaguely guessed why Li Shimin suddenly came to Weinan County for a private visit!

Moreover, they were all brought out!

Inside the carriage, the atmosphere became a little awkward for a while.

Fortunately, not long after, the guard who went out to investigate came back.

"My lord, it was Da Lang who brought all the young men and a group of common people to blow up holes on the bank of the Wei River one mile away!"

The awkward atmosphere in the carriage immediately dissipated.

Li Xiaogong said with a strange face, "You actually used bombs to blow up potholes and helped those common people dig ditches, you are even more prodigal than this king!"

Li Shimin said, "Since Gao Ming is here, I'll take a look later!"

Li Xuan curled his lips, obviously he was worried about Li Chengqian and the bomb, and he still made such an excuse.

Afterwards, after Li Shimin got off the carriage, he also got out of the carriage.

It's just that the group hasn't gone far.

Li Wei brought a group of personal guards and escorted a few men with knives over.

"Master, I'm waiting to catch some thieves hiding in the distance and coveting the convoy!"

"A thief?"

Li Xuan, Li Shimin and the others couldn't help but stare blankly, and looked towards those 'thieves'.

But they didn't want to. When those 'thieves' saw Li Shimin, Li Xuan and the others, they knelt on the ground and saluted with a plop.

"The villain sees His Majesty, sees His Royal Highness King Jin!"

Li Shimin: "..."

Li Xuan: "..."

After the misunderstanding was resolved, Li Shimin, Li Xuan and the others changed directions and headed straight for the direction Li Chengqian and the others were going.

After walking for about a cup of tea, several people saw that Li Chengqian and others had led a group of ordinary people back far away.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

After the two loud bangs, dust flew up from the banks of the Weihe River, and two large holes as high as a person were directly blown out.

"Master Mingfu is so powerful!"

"Thank you, Master Mingfu..."

After being shocked for a while, all the common people around gathered around and cheered happily!
