The hall was silent.
After a few breaths, Ashina Nuji said happily, "Since the goddess has no objection, then she has agreed!"
Sang Jueqian, "..."
I didn't expect that you would be such an Ashina Nuji!
I originally thought he was a fool, but I didn’t expect he had such a cunning side!
Ashina Nuji stood up from the ground and looked at Li Junyan triumphantly, "Prince Chen, the goddess has agreed."
Li Junyan looked at Ashina Nuji with deep eyes, "Since the eldest prince thinks so, then this king has nothing to say.
But I still want to remind you that if you want to talk to the goddess and seek her protection, it takes more than just building a shrine to her."
This was exactly what Ashina Nuji was worried about. When he heard this, he became nervous and looked at Li Junyan expectantly, "Anything else? Tell me quickly, Your Majesty!"
After hearing this, Sang Jueqian didn't know what to say.
Although he is stupid, he seems to be quite clever.
But if you say he is smart, he becomes stupid again.
He asked Li Junyan this question. What kind of answer did he think he would get?
Li Junyan also looked at him with a little surprise, and saw that he had a serious face, as if he was really waiting for a correct answer.
After thinking it over again and again, Li Junyan slowly said, "I don't know either."
This is indeed the truth.
Sang Jueqian's vision was able to move with him only after the first temple of the goddess was built.
If the number of goddess temples gradually increases, he doesn't know if any other changes will occur.
Li Junyan thought he was telling the truth, but Ashina Nuji obviously didn't think so.
"It doesn't matter if the Prince doesn't want to say it. The goddess is not exclusive to the Prince. Everyone has their own abilities!
Wait for the goddess to descend upon the Turks, haha..."
Ashina Nuji didn't say anything else, but his meaning was already very clear.
As long as the Turks had the ability, they would have launched a war and attacked the Great Zhou.
Looking at the cunning smile on Ashina Nuji's face, Sang Jueqian wanted to slap him away.
Why do we have to fight a war when we can live a good life?
Having just received so much gold, silver and jewelry from him, Sang Jueqian still felt a little strange.
But now, that strange feeling has completely disappeared.
We should have taken away his gold, silver and jewelry, so that all his efforts would have been in vain, let him know the dangers of the world, and then let him return to the Turks to live an honest life.
Ashina Nuji obviously came prepared this time. He brought gold, silver, jewelry, and craftsmen, but no war horses.
He has decided to go back and build the Temple of the Goddess and do business with the Goddess himself, so naturally he will not let Li Junyan handle it.
After learning about Ashina Nuji's thoughts and observing his actions, Li Junyan was not angry.
Since Ashina Nuji wants to make trouble, let him do it.
Reality will always teach him a lesson.
It won't take long before he becomes obedient.
Ashina Nuji asked the craftsmen to draw the entire temple of the goddess, marking the dimensions very clearly, and even copied the statue of the goddess one-to-one.
These drawings alone are about a foot thick.
It is estimated that it will not be long before the Turks will erect an identical temple to the goddess.
Sang Jueqian was quite looking forward to that day.
Maybe when Li Junyan goes to Turkestan, she will be able to see the Turkestan Goddess Temple with her own eyes.
Ashina Nuji was really anxious and didn't even let the craftsmen rest. He directly asked someone to take them back and start construction at the selected location.
Ashina Nuji himself was in no hurry to leave. Instead, he looked at Li Junyan curiously, "Didn't the Prince of Chen say last time that he would show me new weapons when I come back this time? Are they ready?"
Li Junyan was not afraid of him asking, but was afraid that he would not ask, so he immediately smiled and nodded, "Of course it has been built. Since the eldest prince wants to see it, let's go and see it together!"
After the two men left the Temple of the Goddess, Li Junyan returned to the tent first, changed into riding clothes, and then rode forward with Ashina Nuji.
Xizhou City is different from Tingzhou. Before corn could be planted, an earthquake occurred, so large tracts of land are still vacant.
The two men rode their horses and galloped across the barren fields until they reached a Gobi desert, where they stopped.
The areas around Xizhou and Tingzhou are already barren, with little arable land and mostly Gobi desert.
This Gobi Desert was of no use in the past, but now it is just right for testing newly made cannons.
Due to time constraints, only one cannon was built, and it now stands there alone.
But around the cannon, there were people standing there.
Everyone's face was filled with excitement, especially a handsome man who looked like a scholar, whose face flushed with excitement.
As soon as Li Junyan's horse stopped, a man who looked like a scholar came to meet him.
"Your Highness! Ban Si greets Your Highness!"
Hearing what he said, Sang Jueqian instantly became interested.
Those around Li Junyan, ranked by seniority, are all top-notch confidants.
These people are not only trustworthy, but also have their own strengths.
Since Ban Si appears here, it means that what he is good at is definitely related to weapon forging.
He has a delicate appearance and a thin figure, but he is an expert in forging weapons. The contrast is too strong!
The feeling he gave Sang Jueqian was like a Barbie doll or a runaway loli.
Li Junyan responded and dismounted, "How are the preparations going?"
Ban Si was even more excited, his eyes sparkling with tears. "We are ready, just waiting for the prince's order."
Li Junyan did not give orders immediately, but walked to the side of the cannon and looked at it carefully again and again.
Ashina Nuji also came forward, his eyes full of curiosity, "What is this? A black tube? What is it used for?"
Li Junyan smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Prince, you will know soon.
This is the first time it's been used since it was built, and it's still in the testing phase. Prince, please stand back with me to avoid being accidentally injured."
Ashina Nuji looked at Li Junyan doubtfully, but when he saw Li Junyan went back, the others also dispersed and followed Li Junyan cautiously.
When everything is unknown, you will never go wrong by following Li Junyan.
After everyone else dispersed, only Ban Si and Lin Qi were left by the cannon.
Lin Qi patted Ban Si's shoulder and said, "You should also step back. Let me do it! I'm good at Qinggong. If anything really happens, I can run faster."
Without even thinking, Ban Si refused directly, "No, I want to do this first shot myself."
He waited for a while after he finished speaking, but still didn't see Lin Qi leave. He felt even more puzzled, "Why don't you leave?"
Lin Qi grinned brightly, "Didn't I tell you? I know Qinggong!
If something unexpected happens, I can use my Qinggong to carry you and you can run faster."
