Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

How can they study it if they don’t even know what it is?

It would be better to detonate this thing so that they can know what it is and what it does.
Li Jing and his men attacked fiercely and immediately surrounded the place to take the thing away.

"Your Majesty, this... this thing is placed in the iron box. Is it very important to Master Qin?"

"Under the circumstances, I think it's better not to release it for now. Should we keep it for Master Qin?"

However, at this moment, Empress Chang Sun thought about it and suddenly said.

Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard this.

The hands that were extended were also slowly retracted.

This is true.

Indeed, if it was Qin Changye’s painstaking research and they took it away like this, I’m afraid... the loss would be even greater.

By that time, Qin Changye would probably want to kill them.

After being reminded of this, Li Shimin also nodded.

"Well, then let's wait for Master Qin to come. Old sir, please keep this thing in the Wangyun Inn for safekeeping."

Li Shimin looked at the old man.

The old man laughed. He was curious about what the crowd was looking at just now.

When he came over, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, no need. This is just a string of firecrackers. Xiao Qin set off a lot of them during the New Year. If you put them in this box, you don't need to keep them specially."

The old man said.

Li Shimin took a deep breath.

I was a little confused.

A lot of them?

The others also looked at the old man in confusion, and then looked at the firecrackers on the table.

firecracker?

What are firecrackers?
hiss…….
Everyone was confused.

But from what the old man said, it doesn’t seem to be precious. Qin Changye would set it off during the New Year?

"Then, let him go."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

This, is it played during the Chinese New Year?
But the entire Chang'an city knew nothing about it.

grandma's!
What was Qin Changye trying to do? He had good stuff but he didn't sell it and just kept it hidden.

Li Shimin suddenly felt a severe headache.

He is the ruler of a country, but it seems that he is not even in Qin Changye's eyes.

Normally, if there is a good thing, everyone would rush to give it to me, but Qin Changye is different...
put!
Must put!!

If you don't give it to me, I'll find it myself! I'll put it there myself!

Li Shimin felt a little aggrieved.

Li Jing immediately picked up the firecrackers and walked out excitedly, but he suddenly stopped and looked at the old man blankly, saying, "How do I set off this?"

Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others all paused for breath.

Then they all looked at the old man silently.

"It's very simple, just use fire to light the little tail below." The old man said with a smile.

Li Jing looked at the rope-like thing flashing out from the bottom and immediately understood.

A group of people rushed out.

Little Sizi clapped his hands and became excited.

Just now she rushed in and saw that the room was empty. She was a little disappointed and pouted, not very happy.

But now, there was finally something to excite her.

Everyone came to the yard.

Qin Qiong also came over.

"Is this powerful? Should we go out and release it?"

Li Jing asked.

The old man shook his head and replied, "No need, General Li, just find a place to hang it."

Li Jing was confused.

Just hang up for a while?
He still remembered the power of the small iron stone just now. This firecracker looked even bigger than the small iron stone.

"Just do as the old gentleman wishes."

Li Shimin spoke at this time.

Li Jing nodded quickly, walked to the wall, found a small branch and inserted it into the wall, and then hung the firecracker on the wall.

The old man found a fire starter and handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin swallowed.

He held the fire in his hand and suddenly felt a little scared.

Everyone's eyes were on him.

"Your Majesty, it's okay. The power of this firecracker is very small. It's just for good luck."

The old man said beside him.

Li Shimin nodded and pursed his lips, but... he was still a little scared in his heart.

After all, for something unfamiliar.

hiss…….
Li Shimin took a deep breath, stared at the firecrackers, but still walked over.

step…….
step…….
step…….
When I stretched out my arms, the tinderboxes made a clanging sound.

His eyes were fixed on the rope under the firecracker.

The fire starter flashed past.

Squeak…….
The firecrackers immediately sparked.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please retreat!"

"Your Majesty, come quickly!!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!!"

Empress Changsun and others screamed.

Li Shimin immediately threw away the fire stick and ran away without caring about his dignity as an emperor.

When he just ran a few steps.

Crackling...
Behind me, a voice suddenly rose.

“Aaaaaaaaaa…”

Li Shimin was so frightened that he jumped three feet high.

I feel like I'm flying.

Empress Changsun and the others also changed their expressions and stepped back in fear.

Little Sizi, on the other hand, was dancing with joy, so excited that he couldn't control himself.

Everyone subconsciously covered their ears with their hands.

The next moment, they all hid behind the door.

Smoke rises.

The firecrackers didn't last long.

When the voice fell, there was a pungent smell of saltpeter and burning paper in the yard, similar to the smell outside the yard before.

But it smells good.

Makes you feel a bit proud.

Everyone slowly walked out from behind the door.

Looking at the wall.

silent.

The hanging firecrackers have disappeared.

All that was left was countless smoke, blown away by the wind.

But the sound just now was still ringing in their ears, rising and falling wildly.

Crackling.

Earth-shaking.

It's horrifying.

Horrible.

They had never heard that sound before. To be honest, it was louder and clearer than the thunder in spring, and it changed the color of the sky and the earth.

They thought that such a sound could only be compared to thunder and could only be produced by God.

But, were they wrong?

Now, they saw something louder than thunder!!
Moreover, it is still so crisp and still so controllable.

Yes, this sound can be controlled.

They had never thought that they could make the sound so outrageous.

Li Shimin's eyes were solemn.

Empress Changsun held the excited little Sizi tightly, and she seemed to want to rush over.

Little Sizi is crazy.
The little eyes were fixed on the firecrackers.

The excited people are about to fly.

When had she ever seen something like this? Even Li Shimin and his men had never seen it before.

"this……."

Changsun Wuji was silent.

Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and others pursed their lips and their eyes twitched slightly.

"Your Majesty, this firecracker... although not that powerful, it seems to work on the same principle as small iron stones," Wei Zheng said.

"Yes, underground, the firecrackers, the sound of these firecrackers is so beautiful, but it's a little weak now. If there were many firecrackers, what a prosperous morning this world would be!"

"I...I am reminded of the lanterns during the Lantern Festival. These firecrackers seem to have been created just for the Lantern Festival!!"

Du Ruhui swallowed and spoke slowly.

Everyone nodded slightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this firecracker is actually quite scary even at this level."

"When two armies are fighting, if we throw these firecrackers into the enemy's crowd, I'm afraid we won't even need to take action. The enemy's horses alone will be able to trample them into pulp!"

Li Jing immediately thought of its military application.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

However, they all knew that Li Jing was right.

War horses are terrifying.

If they are angry, their hooves can easily crush any armor.

And if a war horse has not been trained, it would not be able to tolerate such a loud noise at all.

As long as the war horses are startled, the enemy will be defeated without a fight.

"This firecracker seems to be simpler than a small iron stone, but it's hard to make..." Cheng Yaojin pursed his teeth, his eyes full of desire, and continued, "I really don't know how Master Qin developed it."

"Ah..." Qin Qiong pounded his fist fiercely and said, "It's a pity that Mr. Qin didn't write down the production process. What a pity."

"I wonder when Master Qin will be back."

Qin Qiong sighed.

Li Shimin also took a deep breath.

Shake his head.

This Qin Changye...
He sighed in his heart, turned around and walked to the east wing, stuffing all the papers into his arms.

I'll go back and study it, maybe I can find some clues.

"Open this door, too."

"Now, there's no point in staying here, open the door!!"

Li Shimin looked towards the door in the middle.

Li Junxian rushed up quickly.

Li Shimin walked step by step to the wall and looked at the scraps of paper all over the ground and the silver mark next to it.

"Huh... It's really amazing. There are so many wonders in this world."

Li Shimin sighed.

"In the vast world, Wangyun Inn accounts for nine hundred and ninety-nine of them." Wei Zheng said leisurely beside him.

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then he laughed.

No one said anything, but the light in their eyes showed their approval.

Just as they were sighing, Li Junxian's voice came from the front.

"It's open, the door is open, Your Majesty!!"

He called out loudly.

Li Shimin turned his head, his expression shocked, and walked forward hurriedly.

Changsun Wuji and his group followed closely behind.

The last room.

It is also the most mysterious room in the courtyard and the one they are most looking forward to.

No other reason, because this is the most important house.

It is probably the main house of Wangyun Inn.

Don't know what's in it.

However, when Li Shimin walked in, he was stunned.

this…….
Compared with the other two rooms, the decoration of this room is extremely gorgeous.

There are two windows facing the door. When the door is opened, the wind in the room flows rapidly.

The floor was covered with the finest carpet from the Western Regions, and around it, a circle of lanterns were evenly distributed. One could imagine how bright the room would be if all were turned on.

Various fruit plates were placed around a table in the middle.

But now the fruit bowl is empty.

But one can also imagine how comfortable it would be here if Qin Changye was here.

Li Shimin's face looked a little stiff.

However, it was hard for him to say anything.

Unexpected, but also reasonable.

Qin Changye doesn't spend every day immersed in research, so it's not excessive for him to enjoy himself. He can't be like a possessed person who doesn't know how to enjoy himself.

However, the disappointment in Li Shimin's eyes could not be hidden.

Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Li Jing...
All of them looked at the luxuriously and comfortably decorated main house and fell into silence.

However, Empress Changsun was very happy.

She walked in quietly.

"Master Qin has sent so much private money to the Tang Dynasty. Can't he enjoy it now?!"

Empress Changsun spoke in a resounding voice.

"This place is a little small after all."

"Old sir, wait for Master Qin to come back and bring some maids back to Master Qin's palace. I see that there are not many maids in your Wangyun Inn and its annex. This won't do."

"We can't let you guys serve in this room, can we?"

Empress Changsun has already started making arrangements.

It can be said that it is very thoughtful.

"Bring a few more Le Ji, from the palace, and I will personally select them for him."

"That's right, huh!!"

Empress Changsun turned around and looked at Li Shimin and the other dukes, all of whom had disappointed faces.

"You all... all say that Young Master Qin is obsessed with pleasure and idleness, but after seeing so many of them, this is the only place that can be called a place for rest. Is it not too much for me to arrange this?"

Empress Changsun began to stand up for Qin Changye.

“Not too much, not too much, haha…”

Li Shimin scratched his head, looked at both sides, and finally his eyes fell on the table in the middle.

The table is right between the windows opposite the door.

The sun shines right on it.

The wind was blowing right through here.

The table was clean, except for a bundle on it.

The bundle is made of very ordinary silk.

Just because it is the most common, it becomes an outlier in the eyes of everyone.

Everything in this room was so gorgeous, from the finest carpets to the pure gold fruit plates to the rows of jade lanterns.

But there was ordinary silk on the table.

This makes one have to doubt.

Li Shimin walked in.

In order to make the carpet in the house dirty, they even deliberately lifted it up.

no way.

This carpet is designed to be walked on barefoot.

But…….
This group of old guys, the youngest of whom is over 40 years old, have feet that are smellier, darker, and smaller than each other.

Stepping on this carpet would be a blasphemy to Qin Changye.

They don't dare.

"Your Majesty, this table appears to be made of white marble."

Wei Zheng tapped the table lightly with his hand and said brazenly.

White marble!
It can be said to be extremely precious and priceless!!

It is said that a gentleman is like jade.

Normally, scholars like to hang a jade pendant around their waist, just like a young girl likes to hang a sachet around her waist.

This jade can be said to be the favorite of scholars.

Among the jade pendants worn around the waist, white marble is the most precious.

It can be said to be the lifelong pursuit of a gentleman, the treasure that scholars dream of, the kind that can be used as a family heirloom.

However, it is hard to find such a thing outside, but in Wangyun Inn, there is such a big one that it is even carved into a table, forming a seamless whole.
