Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 126: Unbelievable, the gap is so huge!
"Father, Sizi is hungry."

The soft and aggrieved voice of a baby made Li Shimin's heart tremble.

"This is father's negligence. Little Sizi, we have almost finished our work, let's go back now!"

Li Shimin pretended to leave.

But the old man said, "Your Majesty, why don't you eat something at Wangyun Inn."

"You have come from afar. If you leave with an empty stomach, it would be Wangyun Inn's fault for not treating you well."

Li Shimin wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he decided that he really couldn't make things difficult for Wangyun Inn, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, old sir."

The old man bowed his head slightly and said, "It is my honor."

After saying this, the old man retreated in a hurry.

"Father, how long will it take for Sizi to have a good meal?"

Little Sizi touched his belly, feeling extremely aggrieved.

Li Shimin thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Soon, don't worry, little Sizi. If the old gentleman prepares something really late, we can eat here. When we go back, father will ask the imperial kitchen to prepare a special meal for you."

Xiao Sizi's eyes were bright. As long as there was a special meal for dinner, she wouldn't be worried.

I'll be hungry if I want to!

Hehehe, I can eat a lot of delicious food later anyway!
Little Sizi thought happily in his heart, and then fell asleep in Li Shimin's arms.

After playing around all day, she was really tired.

Li Shimin heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Xiao Sizi had been comforted, and then whispered softly: "Assistant, let's go, and talk while we walk."

On the road.

Li Shimin said, "When we go back, we'll pick out some glass products. What kind of sculpture do you think would be better? A tiger?"

Since we want to deceive the Turks, we naturally have to prepare everything.

The most important thing is to select some glass statues that the Turks cannot refuse.

You can't just use some glass statues to make up the number, right?
It would be troublesome if the Turks had no feeling at all about the selected glass statues.

"Tiger... this..."

Du Ruhui frowned and said, "It's a bit bad. Although tigers are extremely ferocious, the Turkic people don't have a deep understanding of tigers, and tigers over there are also very rare."

Zhang Sun Wuji pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "That's right, Your Majesty. For the Turks, perhaps, wolves are more accurate than tigers."

"Moreover, the Turks are located on the same land as the Xiongnu. And since ancient times, there has been a saying that the wolf lives in the kidney. The wolf is the totem that they worship the most for those living on the grassland."

"That's right, it's a wolf!" Wei Zheng nodded vigorously.

"Wolf? Hahaha..."

"Okay! Then use the wolf!!"

Li Shimin rubbed his hands and agreed excitedly.

Wolf!
This is undoubtedly the totem of all the major tribes on the grassland and the most sacred animal in the minds of the Turks.

Perhaps, the wolf's fighting ability is not as good as that of the tiger.

But the tribes on the grassland are like wolf packs, and wolves can be seen everywhere on the grassland. The Turks are very familiar with them.

"His Majesty."

Just then, a man came from the courtyard next door to Li Shimin.

The man was bandaged all over and had a strong body. It was Li Junxian.

Since that night, Li Junxian recuperated for several days and was finally able to resume his movements.

After Li Shimin helped him recover, the first thing he did was to deal with the glass.

"Your Majesty, this is the best glassware that Coach Shen brought me to find just now. Your Majesty, please look over there."

The Coach Shen that Li Junxian mentioned is the head guard of Wangyun Inn, Shen Yun.

Today, Shen Yun came to report information about Yuheng. After the report, the old man kept him and asked him to entertain His Majesty together with him.

The old man was responsible for leading His Majesty, while Shen Yun was responsible for leading Li Junxian.

at this time.

Following the direction of Li Junxian's hand, Li Shimin looked up and found an extremely exquisite piece of glass right in front of them.

Clean and thorough.

Crystal clear.

When the sunlight shines through the glass, you can even see a faint rainbow.

Moreover, the scenery behind the glass is still extremely clear, which greatly enhances the overall feeling of the garden.

wonderful!
Fantastic!!
Even Li Shimin, who was used to seeing glass products, couldn't help but praise it.

"It looks good, really good." Li Shimin nodded repeatedly.

"Master Qin, you are really a clever man with both hands and mind. Such a talent is rare in the world. Master Qin is truly the greatest man of the contemporary Tang Dynasty!!"

Changsun Wuji couldn't help but admire.

"I remember Cao Cao once said that if he had a son, he would want one to be like Sun Zhongmou. But I think that if he had a son, he would want one to be like Young Master Qin. How old is Young Master Qin now? Even if he has such talent and is very capable, how can he survive in a few years?"

Du Ruhui was also extremely impressed. He let out a long sigh, placed his hands in front of his abdomen, stared at the glass, and his voice revealed envy.

Such an age.

So young.

So wise.

admire!

I really admire you!
"If this glass is given to anyone, they will definitely want to make a fortune with it, but Master Qin just kept it in the mansion, so that we can give the glass products to the Turks. This is really a great wisdom!"

Wei Zheng said softly.

This time, the three of them had a completely new understanding of Qin Changye.

Li Shimin said nothing.

Looking at the huge glass, his eyes are deep.

"Hehehe..."

“It looks good…it looks good…”

"Let's go and have dinner. I wonder what the old gentleman and the others are going to prepare for us. We've been busy for so long. Not to mention Xiao Sizi, even I feel a little hungry."

Li Shimin rubbed his already shriveled stomach, walked around the glass and headed forward.

In front of the kitchen door of Wangyun Inn.

There was a flickering fire inside.

The old man was busy and kept giving orders to the chefs. When he saw Li Shimin coming, he said, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. You can eat right away."

Li Shimin laughed and signaled to him that it was okay.

Subsequently.

He led everyone to walk around, and as they walked, they arrived at a small martial arts training ground.

There are various weapons on both sides.

The wide bluestone slab in the middle was already somewhat broken, and it was obvious that people often practiced here.

When Li Junxian saw this, he immediately became alert.

"Your Majesty, I, your humble servant..."

"Go ahead, try out the weapons, and show me and the auxiliary machines your martial arts skills."

Li Shimin seemed to see through Li Junxian's thoughts and let him pass.

Li Junxian smiled and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

He walked over and picked up one of the big knives.

"Hey!"

Li Junxian shouted, picked up the big knife from Wangyun Inn, and started to fight.

"Li Junxian is indeed a veteran. He is as good as two men. There is no sign of aging on him. He is still as brave as he was back then." Changsun Wuji said with a smile.

When Li Shimin conquered the world, he had seen Li Junxian's martial arts.

Compared to the past, Li Junxian's martial arts can be said to have reached a higher level.

Li Junxian heard the praise, but he continued to practice swordplay without getting upset.

He knew that his martial arts skills were far from enough!!
If it's strong enough,

Then that night, His Highness Xiao Sizi’s life would not be in danger.

Not strong, not strong!

Not strong enough!
The more he wielded the sword, the more he felt his own inadequacy, and his heart became filled with violence.

He realized that something was wrong and gradually calmed down his anger while continuing to wave his sword.

They fought for a few more rounds.

Li Junxian put the sword back to its original place, took out his own sword, looked at Shen Lian in the audience, and said seriously: "It's a rare opportunity to encounter such a martial arts training ground today. I wonder if Master Shen is willing to spar with me?"

Li Junxian's eyes were burning.

This is exactly why he wanted to dance with the sword.

He wanted to use this opportunity to compete with Shen Yun. He wanted to know how far he was from the coach of Wangyun Inn in terms of hard strength!
Yes!

gap!

Li Junxian never thought that he would defeat Shen Yun. That night, even the assassin in the Wangyun Inn was able to protect His Highness Xiao Sizi.

And Shen Lian, as the head coach of the entire Wangyun Inn, is even more powerful in martial arts.

He wanted to know how big the gap in strength was between him and the coach of Wangyun Inn!

at this time.

If Li Shimin and others knew what he was thinking, they would be shocked. Li Junxian was a martial artist so strong that he could even protect Empress Changsun, but he knew that he would lose before the competition even started.

This is simply outrageous!
"This, General Li, this is not good, right?"

Shen Yun was a little surprised.

He has been living in the dark for a long time, and Wangyun Inn is like a poisonous snake with bared fangs in the dark, so on the surface, he flatters others and tries not to take action if possible.

Avoid exposing your strength.

"Why? Does Coach Shen look down on Li?"

Li Junxian spoke again.

The words fell.

Li Shimin and others also looked at Shen Yun.

Shen Yun felt the gazes of many people, and sighed, "How could Shen look down on General Li? I'm just curious."

"But looking at General Li's thoughts, he doesn't want to say it, so I won't ask any more questions. Let's compete!"

Shen Yun came to the martial arts training ground and slowly drew out his sword.

"Jingle Bell…."

An extremely pleasant sound was heard.

This made Li Junxian, Li Shimin and others take a few more glances at Shen Yun's sword.

Li Shimin was even more amazed. He was originally puzzled as to why Li Junxian took the initiative to compete with Coach Shen. Now it seems that Coach Shen has some skills.

Li Shimin put his hands behind his back, looked at the two people on the stage, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, watching seriously.

He had a rough idea in his mind that Coach Shen would not be a match for Li Junxian now. Although Li Junxian had been seriously injured recently, he had almost recovered. Li Junxian was famous, so how could he lose to a coach?
However, it is still great to see the two of them competing against each other.

After all, the coach is from Wangyun Inn.

It’s the one who is immortal.

"Shen is ready."

At this time, Shen Yun said very seriously.

"Well, let's get started!"

"I'm sorry, Coach Shen!"

As soon as Li Junxian finished speaking, he rushed out first.

Shen Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, turned the Embroidered Spring Knife in his hand, and attacked directly without dodging.

I thought it was a collision between two evenly matched opponents.

But, the next moment...
“Crack…”

“Ding ding ding ding….”

The two knives collided, and the blade in Li Junxian's hand broke directly!
It fell to the ground, bouncing and making tinkling sounds.

Seeing this, Shen Yun calmly retracted his sword, took a step forward, and made way for Li Junxian.

“What…what’s going on?”

Li Junxian was a little confused.

He really didn't understand why his sword broke.
Originally, he thought that even if he was defeated, he could still fight a few moves with Coach Shen. He had the confidence, but what about this light-speed sword break?

Even Li Shimin and Zhangsun Wuji who were standing nearby were stunned.

This...is it over?!

No...how come Li Junxian's knife just broke like that?
To know,
Li Junxian's sword can be said to be the best made in the Tang Dynasty.

Even compared with the famous swords and knives from all dynasties, Li Junxian's sword can be ranked among them.

I'm not afraid to say that Li Junxian's sword is one of the top ten in the Tang Dynasty today.

There is no doubt about this.

Li Shimin raised the corner of his mouth and was even more shocked.

He knew the origin of this knife very well, because he was the one who gave it to Li Junxian personally. Good iron and good craftsman made it into a precious knife that could cut iron like mud.

but….
Why did it break?!

"This, Coach Shen, is just a sparring match. You don't have to use so much strength."

"Yes, yes, such a good knife is broken just like that."

Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui felt sorry for Li Junxian, but they also knew that this had nothing to do with Shen Yun.

It was purely to warm up the atmosphere, but this warm-up came at the cost of Shen Yun's loss of value.

Shen Yun understood the meaning and was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

These words are derogatory in every way.

An ordinary person would definitely be angry, but Shen Yun was extremely calm.

Lived in darkness for too long.

You won't care about your public identity or other people's opinions.

And for him.

On the surface, you have a low status and are not noticed by others, so you are more suitable to do many things.

The person involved was very calm, but Li Junxian couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

He saluted and said, "Changsun Pushe, this general's broken sword has nothing to do with Coach Shen."

"It's normal for a sword to break during a fight. It only means... my sword is not as good as Master Shen's sword."

Since even Li Junxian said so, Changsun Wuji and the other two had no choice but to return home in disappointment.

"Can I borrow the sword in Master Shen's hand to have a look?"

At this time, Li Shimin seemed to have discovered something and couldn't help asking.

His eyes fell on the big knife in Shen Lian's hand, and his intuition told him that there was something wrong with this knife.

"Your Majesty, if you want to see it, then of course there is no problem."

Shen Yun was very straightforward. He stepped forward and handed the big knife in his hand to Li Shimin.

Li Junxian, Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui also surrounded them.

Eyes widened.

Look carefully.

They seemed to have never seen this type of knife before.

It looks similar to Tang Hengdao, but they can all be sure that this is definitely not Tang Hengdao!

Li Shimin frowned, he gently gripped the hilt of the knife, feeling it with his heart.

In fact, there is a slight difference between this broadsword and the Tang sword.

However, these two types of knives can be said to be of the same origin.

Both this broadsword and the Tang sword have long and narrow blades.

However, the blade of this sword is slightly curved and the blade is slightly wide.

The Tang horizontal sword has a straight blade like a sword, a slanted tip and a narrow blade.

Undoubtedly, the Tang Hengdao is the most dazzling and famous sword in the Tang Dynasty!
