It was only then that Li Zhu realized that what he had just said was a bit beyond the scope of their chemistry knowledge. These people hadn't even studied basic chemistry, so naturally they couldn't understand what he was saying...
"You can think of it as a kind of out-of-control flame..."
Upon hearing Li Zhu's words, everyone immediately looked enlightened and couldn't help but scold him.
"It's just a fire, why are you making such a big deal out of it..."
"Exactly, as expected of the Crown Prince, he really knows how to sweet-talk..."
Li Zhu also looked helpless; this thing was truly inexplicable!
"Li Zhu, you bastard..."
Just as everyone was discussing this, a discordant voice suddenly rang out. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, wanting to see who had the audacity to insult the Crown Prince…
Turning around, he found it was Daoist Tianmiao with a group of Daoists, glaring at Li Zhu with furious eyes…
This made Li Zhu's heart skip a beat; he thought to himself, "This guy's after me..."
"Is this commotion and this effect caused by the things you've had us create these past few days?"
"Cough cough..."
Upon hearing Tianmiao Daoist's question, Li Zhu first feigned a couple of coughs to calm the other party down, then chuckled and said...
"Yes…"
"What? You actually made us stay with such a dangerous thing for so many days without warning us? What are you up to?"
Daoist Tianmiao was nearly scared to death. Just thinking about it made him shudder. They had been making these things under Li Zhu's instructions for the past few days, thinking they were just ordinary items. They never expected them to be so dangerous. One wrong move and all thirty of them could be sent to their deaths...
"Master Tianmiao, didn't I tell you to be careful of open flames? As long as you don't come into contact with open flames, this thing is quite safe..."
Li Zhu argued weakly, "After all, I was the one who put these people in such a dangerous environment, so I have to be responsible for them!"
"Are you kidding me? We almost ended up meeting the Primordial Celestial Lord! What are you going to do about it? If you don't give us an explanation, we're quitting. Go find whoever you want..."
Daoist Tianmiao roared angrily. The impact just now was too great; it couldn't be calmed down with just a few words...
"I'll pay more..."
Li Zhu hurriedly spoke loudly. Upon hearing Li Zhu's words, everyone except the Taoist priest looked at him with disdain, thinking to themselves that these people were all old immortals, how could they care about such material things as money? This was clearly an insult to monks!
But the next moment they were slapped in the face, as Tianmiao Daoist asked very smoothly...
How much?
"Double the reward..."
Li Zhu tentatively said!
"What? You said three times? I think four times is fine. What's with the five times? Given our relationship, I'll give you a discount, six times will do. I'm not making things difficult for you, am I? If it is, then forget it..."
Tianmiao Daoist's attitude of "I'll leave if you don't agree" made Li Zhu's lips twitch uncontrollably. The others also looked at Tianmiao Daoist as if they had seen a ghost, their entire worldview being refreshed. They silently re-evaluated these monks who were regarded as old immortals...
"Okay, no problem, seven times it is..."
Li Zhu hurriedly spoke loudly, fearing that Daoist Tianmiao might change his mind, he even raised the price himself!
"Shut up! We monks are not the kind of people who would covet petty gains. We chose to stay entirely because of the Crown Prince's kindness. Helping the Crown Prince is helping all people in the world..."
The Taoist Tianmiao spoke with a sanctimonious air, and if everyone didn't know the cause and effect, they would probably believe his nonsense!
Moreover, looking at the palace that had been razed to the ground, everyone couldn't help but complain to these Taoist priests: Are you sure that helping the Crown Prince is helping the people of the world, or helping the Crown Prince blow up the people of the world?
"Amitabha Buddha, Daoist Tianmiao truly has discerning eyes..."
Li Zhu accepted the praise without hesitation, leaving everyone bewildered. When it came to shamelessness, these two were truly neck and neck…
Li Zhu then instructed everyone to begin cleaning up the mess. He estimated that such a commotion would soon alert other forces within the capital, especially his adoptive father, the emperor, who would likely be the first to send someone to inquire about the situation…
"Little monkey..."
Li Zhu shouted loudly. Even if he couldn't challenge the Marquis with his current strength, he estimated that he could exchange a few blows with the Marquis. Although the Marquis was ahead in the Vajra Indestructible realm, he believed that he would soon surpass the Marquis. Therefore, he had a different kind of confidence when he called out to the little monkey!
"Your Highness, I am here!"
Hou Wang is now a double agent, and he is increasingly convinced of Li Zhu's abilities. As a result, his mentality has changed a lot, and he is no longer so resistant to Li Zhu calling him "little monkey"!
"Go and invite the Second Prince and the Third Prince over. Tell them I've been attacked again, and let them come and have some fun..."
Hearing Li Zhu's absurd order, the Marquis was helpless. Others were afraid that their shameful deeds would be exposed, but his own Crown Prince was actually inviting the enemy to come and observe. He really didn't know what kind of crazy move this was...
The Marquis accepted the order and left. Soon after, Eunuch Tang rushed to the East Palace. When he saw the several side rooms that had completely disappeared, he was completely stunned...
It's hard to imagine what could cause such a consequence. If Li Zhu had such a secret weapon, the emperor would probably abdicate tomorrow. Otherwise, would he wait for Li Zhu to blow him up with this thing?
If he retires voluntarily, he can enjoy his later years in peace. But if he waits for Li Zhu to blow him up, he'll probably lose his life...
"Your Highness, what...what is this...?"
Tang Gonggong stammered, unsure where to begin his question…
"Uncle Tang, why did you have to be bothered? It's just a small matter..."
Li Zhu laughed it off.
Upon hearing Li Zhu's words, Eunuch Tang couldn't help but mentally scoff, "This is a small matter? Look at this vanished room! What could possibly cause such an effect? What if you put this in the palace and it blows up the Emperor?"
"Your Highness, please don't make things difficult for me. This is no small matter..."
"Uncle Tang, please go back and tell Father that I am developing new weapons for the new Tang Dynasty. Once successful, conquering cities and seizing territories will be as easy as conquering empty lands..."
Li Zhu knew he couldn't keep quiet; with such a commotion, it was impossible to hide it...
Upon hearing Li Zhu's words, Eunuch Tang was shocked. Although he didn't understand warfare, he had heard a little about the cruelty of siege warfare...
Any siege is an unimaginable disaster, and soldiers and civilians alike will live in dire straits...
But now Li Zhu is telling him that a weapon is about to be successfully developed, and then conquering cities and territories will be as easy as entering uninhabited land...
