Chapter 141: The Magnificent Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin had been waiting for the goddess to return for nearly two months, but he was not in a hurry at all. He looked calm, as if "the goddess's messenger is at home, so I am not worried". The difficulties from his brothers became a spice of his daily life.

There were a few times when he was so annoyed that he just threw up his sleeves and went to his father-in-law to cry. Then Li Yuanji, who came to trouble him, was sent away to attack another city.

But after only a few days of peace, something unexpected happened in his house.

Sissi knows what is important and what is not. If the bright human goes out, she will follow. The plush body of the little bear is very soft. You only need to put it in your arms and it will become flat and no one can see it.

If the bright human is at home, it will definitely stick to Li Lizhi, which is fragrant and soft, and the little bear likes it very much.

This happened to Li Lizhi.

After nightfall that day, the wet nurse who was guarding Li Lizhi fell asleep quickly and soundly. Next to the window coffin stood an incense burner as tall as an adult's calf. Wisps of white smoke rose from the incense burner, filling the room with a faint sweet fragrance.

This is an incense specially prepared by a doctor at the request of Li Shimin. It is specifically for children and can help them sleep and reduce the risk of fainting.

This is the incense that several children in the mansion light in their rooms.

But the fragrance today is unusual; it smells sweeter than during the day.

Xixi, who was sleeping next to Li Lizhi, got up slowly. The fine white hair on her body trembled. A faint fluorescent light enveloped Li Lizhi, who was sleeping soundly and blowing bubbles in her dream.

The palm-sized white bear kissed the sweet and soft baby, then nimbly rolled out of the crib, its soft little feet stepping on the ground without making any sound.

It walked to the incense burner, stepped on the air and climbed onto it. Its small paws with pink flesh pads tapped the tightly fastened incense burner. The incense burner made of pure bronze silently split into two halves. The crack was very smooth, and the incense powder that was still burning inside floated in the air as if held by an invisible giant hand.

Sissi moved closer and sniffed, her little head tilted in confusion.

Why has the scent changed? Babies should not smell this kind of fragrance.

Xiongxiong can't figure it out, but Liangliang's human should be able to do it, he is so smart!

Then, the palm-sized little bear clasped the incense burner that it had cut in half, lifted it up easily with its two paws, walked around the wet nurse who was sleeping unconscious on the ground, and went to look for the bright human.

Li Shimin came back very late today. Zhangsun was waiting for him in the room. The couple chatted for a while before going to bed. Then they heard a tapping sound outside the door.

It doesn't sound like a knock on the door...

Li Shimin listened for a while and his expression became a little strange.

He said something to his wife who had stood up, threw back the quilt, and walked barefoot to open the door.

Sure enough, it was Sissi.

The servants and guards standing outside the door lowered their heads, watching closely, seemingly as calm as their master, but in fact they were still extremely nervous.

Those who could serve Li Shimin and Zhangsun were all loyal people. They were loyal to their masters, and they would definitely not say anything even if what they saw was extremely magical.

But the feeling of panic in my heart cannot be stopped, it is human instinct.

Seeing Sissi coming over with an incense burner, Li Shimin was very puzzled and stepped aside. The little bear holding the incense burner called him in a sweet voice, jumped lightly over the threshold, and walked in with a clatter.

The incense burner was put down silently. Xixi patted her paws, which were not stained with dust, and then raised her head to look at the bright human. She waved her two little paws and gestured as if performing a pantomime, and called out in rhythm with her mouth.

Changsunshi didn't understand, but Li Shimin did.

His face suddenly darkened.

Seeing the bright human's eyes change, Xixi knew that he understood what she meant. The little bear, who was gesticulating and barking, immediately stopped, turned around and walked towards the misty Changsun, stepped on the palm of the fragrant human's hand, and gave the fragrant human a second goodnight kiss.

Xixi happily went back to find her favorite baby.

After watching Xixi walk away, Changsun came over wearing her coat and asked, "Erlang, what happened?"

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said, "I'm afraid some people can't do anything to me openly, so they start to use some insidious means behind my back."

The eldest grandson was very smart and was immediately shocked.

Li Shimin hurriedly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, maid Guanyin, with Xixi here, Li Zhi will be fine. I will go check on Chengqian and the others now!"

After saying this, he coaxed his wife, who was still not fully recovered from giving birth, back to the garden, and he hurriedly got dressed and went to the children's yard.

That night, the gloomy-faced second son of the Li family sold many slaves. He held the precious sword that was still dripping with blood, staring into the dark night, his eyes as dark as the abyss.

He always liked to take precautions before trouble occurs, and he was aware of all the major forces in the underworld. After questioning several people, he immediately realized where such insidious means came from.

This is a common tactic used in conflicts among aristocratic families.

And this incense is probably not a deadly poison.

Li Shimin secretly invited a military doctor overnight.

Sure enough, these incense poisons are not fatal, but slowly destroy the foundation of a person. The incense poison will accumulate in the human body and will not manifest immediately. When a person reaches a certain age, it will suddenly manifest like a hidden disease. In just a few days, the person will become terminally ill and incurable.

There were many people in aristocratic families who had this symptom. No matter how the doctors examined, they always concluded that the person was in poor health or had a hidden disease brought from the womb. It was lucky for them to live to this age. In the end, nothing was found.

Hearing this, Li Shimin's face had become so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out. The armrest under his hand was clenched so tightly that it was almost about to burst. A murderous aura burst out from him. Everyone in the study lowered their heads, trembling, and dared not look up at him.

Who could it be?

Li Jiancheng?

Or Li Yuanji?

Or other valve forces?

Li Shimin knew that he had been very powerful recently, and after conquering several cities, his military power had surpassed his brothers by three points. Aye was even more delighted, and after drinking heavily, he said at the banquet that whoever captured Chang'an would be the prince.

It is no exaggeration to say that among all these brothers, the one who could take Chang'an first was only Li Shimin.

so……

Is it a collaboration?

Li Shimin recalled the unfamiliar face he had seen next to his eldest brother a few days ago.

After a long time, he dismissed his subordinates and returned to his wife's room.

As expected, his wife, who was concerned about the safety of their child, was not asleep. Li Shimin took off his cold clothes, gently held his wife, who had a slightly frown on her brows, in his arms, and whispered the story to her.

He patted his wife's back gently as if to coax a child, and almost whispered: "Guanyin, our child will be fine. With the God's messenger here, these evil spirits will have nowhere to hide."

In this era of great contention, the capable will prevail, and those with both talent and virtue will win.

Since he wants to fight, he will fight to the end!

Changsun nestled in her husband's arms and slowly closed her eyes.

…

On the fifty-third day of entering the mission world, the invisible space suspended high above the clouds finally began to fluctuate. A large piece of air was distorted, and the colorless land in the field of vision gradually began to seep into a bit of golden glow, like ink dripping into a clear pool. In the blink of an eye, a large area of ​​gold had spread out.

Gurgle gurgle.

The diffused gilded glow surged, and a silver-haired witch with twinkling starlight all around her stepped out. There was a faint sound of music coming from the sky, mixed with the tiny sound of the stars moving.

She stretched out her slender white fingers and caught a stardust that fell from the sky. The dazzling stardust immediately fell into her palm, and extremely fine patterns were imprinted on her palm in an instant, and disappeared without a trace in a moment.

Seth said: [Congratulations on your successful promotion, Miss Ta! ]

Tarona narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of tranquility between his brows.

She had originally planned to wander around for a few days and then return to the Son of Luck to protect him, but halfway back, the power in her body suddenly surged.

——She is about to break through the realm that has stuck for more than two hundred years!

This is really hard to guard against.

After a brief surprise, Tarona calmly increased its altitude and stopped almost at the outside of the world.

She skillfully casts space magic to isolate herself from the outside world and prevent herself from unconsciously affecting the mission world when she advances.

Their breakthrough will cause strange celestial phenomena.

Lightning and thunder are basic operations. If the terrain is relatively empty, it is not easy to hurt people. The upheaval of the sea is called a natural disaster, which may flood a large area of ​​land.

Not to mention the trouble that will arise at that time, the karma owed will give the staff a headache, and they will have to work for nothing in the current world to repay the debt.

This breakthrough took more than fifty days.

Tarona felt the power filling his body and felt satisfied.

If she could only be considered a demigod before, then now, she has officially entered the realm of demigod and can move towards higher goals.

——Become a god!

This is truly a priceless gift!

The witch's eyebrows curved, and her smile became more and more beautiful. Her eyes, which contained a sea of ​​stars, were so bright that people dared not look at them directly.

Tarona, in a very good mood, decided to give Li Shimin a big surprise.

She had not originally intended to intervene in this great struggle, but who made it happen at this time? Of course, everyone should be happy about the good news.

It was already autumn at this time, and Li Shimin led his troops across the river. Wang Shichong saw that the situation was not going well, so he led most of his troops to flee, leaving only a small group of enemy troops to resist on the other side of the river.

They blew up two bridges and refused to allow Li Shimin's troops to cross the river safely, even at the cost of their lives. They were a group of loyal people.

Li Shimin whipped his horse and ordered his troops to use local materials to quickly build a bridge across the river.

It would take too much time to go around, so he would just cross the river directly and he would be the first person to enter Chang'an!

"yes!"

Everyone agreed, and no matter the commander or soldier, they drew their swords and axes and headed for the woods on all sides. With their manpower, they could build a bridge for the army to march by night at most.

It was only a few hours, and the one chasing them closest was the eldest son. Even if he ran freely, it would take him a whole day to catch up.

As long as the Second Young Master attacks Chang'an, they will be the Crown Prince's soldiers!

And one day...

The counselors were filled with enthusiasm, as this was a great achievement!

Suddenly, a snowflake fell from the sky.

Even though it is late autumn, there are only frost flowers at most. Where do the snowflakes come from?

Li Shimin was riding on his horse and looked up. Another snowflake happened to fall on the tip of his nose.

A little cool.

the young general thought.

Snow falls in autumn, does it mean something?

Before he could figure out what was going to happen, the sporadic snowflakes suddenly became denser and a cold wind blew across the river.

Swish, swish.

It was actually the sound of ice!
