Chapter 121 Li Le is only appointed as the Prince's Grand Tutor
Yuzhou City also had catapults, but in the past they only threw stones, and there were requirements for the weight of the stones. Yuzhou City did not have many, and they had been used up as early as when Zhao State attacked the city.
This time, Li Le only mentioned that gunpowder could be used. This was the first time Xiao Xuan heard it. After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Xuan's eyes lit up little by little.
Replace it with gunpowder and throw it at the enemy. They won't dare to attack without them having to do anything.
However, Xiao Xuan did not dare to use such a good thing recklessly. Since Taoist Li could calculate it, if he used it on the battlefield, the priests of Zhao State might be able to calculate it. If Zhao State also mastered this method, the consequences would be disastrous.
After hesitating, Xiao Xuan still raised his concerns, and then said: "This thing can be used as a trump card. If there is a day, it will not be too late to use it again."
Li Le only heard it and could only hold back on adding gunpowder.
Xiao Xuan's concerns must also be taken into consideration. It would not be a good thing if the Zhao State priest could really use gunpowder in this battle and calculate the formula.
But if the fight continued like this, it would be a test of his divination skills against the other priest.
The gunpowder recipe that Li Le calculated was soon spread to the capital. When Emperor Zhao heard that Taoist Li had tinkered with such a magical thing on the battlefield, he immediately arranged for someone to make a portion according to the recipe. Looking at the small bag of explosives, Emperor Zhao couldn't believe that this thing could actually blow up the mountain and kill the reinforcements of Zhao State.
Because the power of the explosive pack was too great, Emperor Zhao deliberately chose a secluded place where no one would be harmed to test the power of the explosive pack.

Looking at the deep pit created by the explosion, Emperor Zhao was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe that such a small thing could have such great power. If this thing was used on the battlefield, the thought came to Emperor Zhao's mind and he immediately cut it off. The explosive pack was a good thing, but unfortunately, it would eventually bring disaster to Zhao State.
If he doesn't deal with Zhao State, even if he has such a magical object, he can't give it away. Otherwise, the things that Daliang has researched will be wasted on Zhao State. It's not acceptable to let them have such a good thing for nothing.
He can only use it after he has dealt with Zhao State. With this thing, he will have no worries about not being able to unify the world.
When the other ministers saw this scene, they were even more radiant. They looked at each other and could see each other's shock. There were also people who were only acquaintances of Li Le, such as Wang Ren, who was stunned for a moment, and then a look of honor appeared on his face.
This was caused by Taoist Li, so he was not surprised at all.
On the contrary, he would be more surprised if it was not made by Taoist Li. With Taoist Li's ability, it would be easy for him to make a magical explosive pack.
Wang Ren raised his eyebrows and looked at Gongsun Miaoran who was standing at the other end, because he was there to see the power of the explosive pack, and Gongsun Miaoran was also present.
Gongsun Miaoran turned his head slightly and saw Wang Ren's appearance. He couldn't bear to look at it, so he turned away. Those who didn't know the truth might think that it was Wang Ren who made him up.
Gongsun Miaoran looked in the direction of Emperor Zhao. Taoist Li made this thing, so His Majesty must have some intention.
Sure enough, it was just as he thought.
Emperor Zhao was very happy and said to Zhao Xuan in person: "Master Li is really a living god who has come down to earth. When Master Li comes back, I will appoint him as the Prince's Grand Tutor. When your legitimate son is born, he will be taught by Master Li."
Zhao Xuan was shocked and appointed Taoist Li as the Prince's Grand Tutor, to teach his legitimate son.
Zhao Xuan: ...
Zhao Xuan didn't think that his father was going to bypass him and make his missing son the crown prince, but his father's plan was too early. He had even prepared the position for his grandson, but didn't know what the unborn boy's qualifications were.
Zhao Xuan tried to say a few more words to dissuade his father from thinking this way.
Before he opened his mouth, Emperor Zhao knew what he was going to say. He squinted at him and said, "Your son is dull, but he also has Taoist Priest Li. As long as Taoist Priest Li is here, are you still worried that his position will be unstable?"
That's the thing, but what if...
Zhao Xuan thought of that possibility, but he also knew that it was inappropriate to say it out loud, so he could only keep it in his heart. Taoist Li was still young, but when his son really took the throne, it was not known whether he would still be alive. What if Taoist Li did not live longer than his son, who else could suppress his son?
What if his son is a disobedient person and ruins the country?
Zhao Xuan thought a lot and was really scared. He began to wonder how to teach his unborn child.
These words also attracted the attention of others. They were shocked that His Majesty had appointed Taoist Li as the Prince's Grand Tutor and had also appointed him to teach the Prince's legitimate son. This meant that as long as nothing happened to the Prince's legitimate son, he would definitely be the next emperor.
This is too shocking.
Everyone was stunned. Some wanted to give some gentle advice, but then they thought, in order for the Crown Prince's son to ascend the throne, His Majesty had appointed Taoist Li as the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor. His mind was determined and could not be changed by just a few words.
Moreover, this matter cannot be brought to the table for discussion. The crown prince has not yet been born and nothing has been decided. They can only keep it to themselves and suppress the matter deep in their hearts.
However, the fact that Taoist Li was named the Prince's Grand Tutor could never be changed.
When everyone thought back to the Taoist priest Li's career in officialdom, they realized that he had never taken every path they had guessed. He was always unexpected, taking new paths, and was unpredictable.
And Yuzhou is thousands of miles away.
Ever since Li Le figured out the situation of Zhao State last time, Xiao Xuan was always one step ahead of Zhao State, ambushing everywhere with his troops, intercepting all the food and grass transported by Zhao State and burning them all.
Zhao State suffered too many losses, and the capital of Zhao State was shocked. Emperor Zhao was even more angry and sent the most powerful priest of Zhao State to the battlefield.
General Di had suffered many losses and did not believe what Lu Chengfeng said at all.
Compared to General Di, Lu Chengfeng was even more incredulous. He looked at the paper spread out in front of him, which was filled with his calculations.
Now, every word written in black and white turned into a sharp arrow that pierced him.
Lu Chengfeng tightly grasped the paper, his face was pale, and his messy hair blocked his eyes of disbelief. How could it be possible? How could his junior brother be better than him?
Lu Chengfeng covered his eyes, totally unable to believe what he saw.
He is obviously the strongest.
Obviously he is.
Lu Chengfeng laughed crazily twice, which then turned into a bitter smile. He threw away the paper in his hand, quietly watched the paper fall from a high place, and recalled the old times.
In the past, he was also a genius dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse, attracting the attention of everyone and amazing people.
How did he get to where he is today...
Lu Chengfeng sighed, stood up and walked out dejectedly. He took nothing with him and no one knew where he went.
When General Di came in to look for him, he saw only an empty tent and cursed, "Damn it, this Daliang man is really unreliable."
General Di had no other options as he couldn't find the person.
Their Zhao Kingdom's reinforcements had all been ambushed by Xiao Xuan's men, and now their military strength is only 300,000. It would be much more difficult than before if they wanted to capture Yuzhou City by force.
But General Di also knew that a priest would come soon, and that would be the best time to attack the city.
Zhaoguo was waiting for the arrival of the priest, and there was a period of rest. However, this kind of tranquility seemed more like a storm was about to come.
at night.
Xiao Xuan came to Li Lezhi's door, knocked twice, and called out, "Master Li?"
Li Lezhi had not yet gone to bed. After hearing the knock on the door and Xiao Xuan's voice, he got up from the couch, walked to the door, opened it and let Xiao Xuan in.
Then he put the lamp on the big table in the room and asked with his eyes if there was anything wrong.
Xiao Xuan sat down, and when he looked up, he met Li Le's indifferent eyes, as if asking him why he came. Xiao Xuan's mouth curled slightly and said with a smile: "I came to see Taoist Li this time to trouble Taoist Li to calculate it. Taoist Li also knows that Zhaoguo has not made much movement recently, and the scouts have not seen what happened in Zhaoguo, so I want to ask Taoist to calculate it."
Li Le just nodded slightly.
In front of Xiao Xuan, he calculated with his bare hands why Zhao State was so peaceful, and then he calculated the movements of Zhao State. Li Le only said: "They are waiting for someone, waiting for the priest from their capital to come."
After thinking about this, Li Le felt under tremendous pressure.
The other party had been defeated to such an extent, but had not yet thought of withdrawing his troops and had even sent priests from the capital to attack him. It was conceivable that the other party's ability in divination must be better than his.
The situation in Yuzhou is becoming dangerous again.
Li Le just began to ponder, what else besides gunpowder could be used on the battlefield, and many weapons came to his mind, but those would be affected by productivity and could not be produced. This also led to the two sides still having to compete to see who would seize the initiative first.
If it weren't for these fortune tellers and spirits, with Xiao Xuan's abilities, he might have been able to defend Yuzhou City, and he might even have been able to turn defeat into victory. But now that the opponent's priests have arrived, they will definitely be able to find out all of Xiao Xuan's movements, and the advantages they had previously gained will gradually be wiped out, and they may even be at a disadvantage.
Li Le just frowned and asked, "Should we invite the Taoist priests from Xuanyang Palace to come?"
Xiao Xuan was surprised. With Taoist Li here, why do we need Taoist priests from Xuanyang Palace? In this world, are there any Taoist priests more powerful than Taoist Priest Li? Even Lu Chengfeng is not as good as Taoist Priest Li.
Does Taoist Li mean to ask a Taoist priest from Xuanyang Palace to come and identify the person?
Taoist Priest Li has been practicing in seclusion in Da'an County, Yangzhou, and has never dealt with the State of Zhao. This time, someone from the State of Zhao has come. Is Taoist Priest Li afraid that he does not know who the other party is and his background, and is afraid of disrupting their war?
If Taoist Li really thought so, Xiao Xuan felt that it was unnecessary. He was about to speak out, but then he thought, what if Taoist Li just wanted to invite the Taoists from Xuanyang Palace to come and study, and it was not what he thought.
Xiao Xuan touched his nose twice. He wanted to read Li Lezhi's meaning from his face, but Taoist Li's face was like a jade-carved god, with no outward emotion, so Xiao Xuan could not tell.
He didn't hesitate and said, "Master Li, don't worry, I will invite someone."
After hearing Xiao Xuan's reply, Li Le was completely relieved. No matter who the priest from Zhaoguo's capital was, as long as the Taoist priest from Xuanyang Palace also came, it would be best if it was Senior Xuanyangzi. According to the ability of that priest, Yuzhou would never lose in a battle with Senior Xuanyangzi.
What Li Le didn't expect was that he thought Xiao Xuan would go and invite Senior Xuan Yangzi, but in fact, he brought Jiang Yuge and Qingtong instead.
Although both of them are quite capable, I always feel that they have no hope of defeating the Zhao Kingdom Priest.
So, all this depends on him?
Li Le just couldn't hold it anymore.
Looking at Jiang Yuge and Qingtong walking towards him, he nodded to them and asked in confusion, "Why are you two here?"
