Li Shimin looked at the glass bottle in Li Jue's hand and thought to himself, "You grandson, you have such a powerful weapon in your hands. Who the hell would dare to rebel against you?"

Just as Li Shimin was secretly grumbling to himself, he saw Li Jue twist open the lid of the glass bottle and then gulp it down.

"This bottle doesn't contain gunpowder, does it?"

"Of course not!"

"I'm not stupid, why would I carry that thing in my sleeve for no reason!"

"So you were just trying to scare me?"

"Grandson didn't mean to scare you. I was just saying that if you don't agree, I'll drink myself into a stupor!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin was so angry that his teeth itched. He immediately grabbed Li Jue, pulled down his pants, and gave him a series of slaps on the buttocks.

"You brat, how dare you lie to me! I'll beat you to death!"

Li Shimin struck Li Jue more than a dozen times, but instead of intimidating him, he exhausted himself. He simply stopped hitting him, pushed Li Jue aside, snatched the glass bottle from his hand, and started gulping it down.

"oh?"

"Wine made from grapes from the Western Regions?"

"You little rascal, you sure know how to enjoy life!"

Li Jue pulled up his trousers, then magically produced another glass bottle from his sleeve. Upon seeing this, Li Shimin looked at the glass bottle in his own hand, then at the glass bottle in Li Jue's hand, and immediately made a toasting gesture towards Li Jue.

"cheers!"

"Dry!"

As the two exchanged toasts, they soon arrived at an open area outside the city. However, when they got out of the carriage, Li Tai was already carrying the "giant pumpkin" to a pit.

When Li Tai saw the two following them, he quickly tried to stop them.

"Father, nephew, you two, don't go any further, I'm about to light the fire..."

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this. This rebellious son actually wanted to start the fire himself.

"What?"

"Qingque, don't do anything foolish. Let Yuchi Fan handle this!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Chi Fan secretly rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "Isn't my life a life too?"

Although Yuchi Fan was extremely frustrated, he still stepped forward and said.

"Your Highness, let me light the fire!"

Li Tai remained unmoved by these words and stubbornly pushed Yuchi Fan away.

"Don't make things worse!"

"This item was made by my own hands. I know its power better than anyone else. I wouldn't trust anyone else to do it!"

"Get the hell out of here, I'm about to set it on fire!"

After saying this, Li Tai immediately struck a match and carefully brought the flame to the fuse. After hearing a hissing sound, Li Tai took off running, but he underestimated the length of the fuse and overestimated his own legs.

Before he could run more than a few steps, he heard a loud "bang" behind him, and then he was thrown back by a tremendous force, crashing heavily to the ground...
