"impossible!"

"The Xuanjia Army is the elite of our Tang Dynasty's elite forces. Back then, His Majesty relied on several thousand Xuanjia soldiers to defeat Dou Jiande and achieve the feat of capturing two kings in one battle!"

"Moreover, the Tang Dynasty has expanded its Xuanjia Army to 20,000 in recent years. These 20,000 men could wipe out more than a dozen countries in the Western Regions. How could they be no match for the mere thousand-odd men of the eldest grandson of the emperor?"

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Fan echoed his sentiments.

"We can definitely win a fight, but the losses will be extremely severe..."

"Uncle, don't forget, the eldest grandson has a deadly weapon!"

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Jingde felt a chill run down his spine, instantly thinking of the "gunpowder" invented by Li Jue. This thing was incredibly powerful; even someone wearing armor could be killed by its blast.

Moreover, this stuff will still burn when it lands on a person; it could even burn the Xuanjia Army soldiers inside the iron canisters to death.

"If that's the case, then the Xuanjia Army might not be able to defeat the Sanglin Garrison Commander."

"However, His Majesty has strict control over gunpowder, and Sanglin Garrison is not included in the scope of gunpowder distribution."

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Fan chuckled but remained silent. Sensing Yuchi Fan's mockery, Yuchi Jingde immediately raised his foot and kicked him.

"You brat, get to the point! If you dare laugh at me again, I'll skin you alive!"

"Uncle, have you forgotten that the eldest grandson can make gunpowder himself?"

"Everyone in the world can run out of gunpowder, but the eldest grandson of the legitimate wife will never run out, hehehe..."

"this……"

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Jingde felt extremely awkward; how could he have forgotten about this? However, he quickly realized something was amiss. If the eldest grandson had indeed secretly prepared gunpowder, wouldn't that imply treason?

Upon realizing this, Yuchi Jingde immediately slapped Yuchi Fan hard across the face.

"Shut up!"

"How can you say such things?"

"If someone with ulterior motives were to overhear this, who knows what kind of slander they would make against the eldest grandson!"

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Fan immediately realized his mistake and quickly apologized to Yuchi Jingde.

"Nephew was wrong, nephew will never dare to say such things again!"

Seeing this, Yuchi Jingde kicked him again.

"Get to work quickly, something big is about to happen, so your Hundred Cavalry Division should prepare in advance!"

"Uncle, what's the matter?"
