"The few great scholars are well-read and knowledgeable. Don't tell me you don't even know what this small thing is?”Li Daozong was secretly pleased. Look at how unlucky you are. You didn't even know what the weapon was. You've lost a lot of face!
Li Daozong was right. The few people present were all self-righteous scholars. They had always been arrogant and looked down on the Li Tang royal family and those valiant martial artists. However, this time, they were indeed scratching their heads!
He had never seen or tasted it before, so how would he know the name of this thing?
Kong Yingda looked at Yu Zhining, and Yu Zhining looked at Su Shichang. Su Shichang turned to look at Lu Deming, who kept sticking out his tongue and gasping. He shook his head one after another.
He did not know!
I really don't know!
"H-Please enlighten me, Your Highness King Yong, what exactly is this thing?”Helplessly, Kong Yingda stood up and bowed to the ground, asking for advice unwillingly.
"This item is called Chili Pepper. It grows on Mount Buzhou and is a peerless treasure that gathers the fire energy of heaven and earth. It is rumored that phoenixes gather incense wood and burn it.”
Li Tai said with a straight face.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yu Zhining was enlightened." Sure enough, this thing has the nature of fire. Otherwise, how could it be so spicy!"”
"Brother Zhong Mi is right. This item is very spicy. When it enters your mouth, it feels like you are being burned by flames. So it was born from fire spiritual energy.”
"This old minister has always been puzzled that the phoenix was originally a fire spirit, and ordinary fire was unable to harm it in the slightest, so how could it be reborn? Today, thanks to His Highness King Yong's guidance, this old minister was enlightened.”
The ministers present were suddenly enlightened. So that was the case!
"Fortunately, I am the True Dragon Son of Heaven and have the purple qi to protect me, so I was not injured by Little Chili Pepper!”
Li Er also secretly felt lucky. He did not expect this red little thing to have such an extraordinary background!
Fortunately, he was blessed with great fortune and good fortune. Otherwise, he would have no place to reason if he was burned to death!
Li Tai was about to burst out laughing as he watched them argue in a serious manner. A bunch of idiots. I just casually lied, and you took it seriously?
"No, that's not right. If this thing is really condensed from the essence of the world's flames, wouldn't ordinary people like us be burned to ashes with just a bite? How can we still sit here and drink with His Majesty?”
Finally, one of these scholars brought his brain out.
" That's because..." Li Tai coughed twice and stood up." Mount Buzhou is a spiritual mountain in the Immortal Realm. The spiritual soil of the spiritual mountain can naturally produce spiritual treasures. However, the Tang Empire belongs to the secular world. The soil is thin and the spiritual soil is scarce. Naturally, the quality of the chilies has deteriorated!”
"I see!" Everyone applauded, expressing their trust in Li Tai's perfect explanation.
A bunch of idiots!
All of them had low intelligence!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully explaining the origin of chili and coating it with a layer of dreamy mythical color. You have received unanimous praise from the civil and military officials. Master Deceiver…"
After Li Tai's explanation, everyone's admiration for the chili pepper rose to a new level. Many generals were eager to give it a try, wanting to challenge this so-called immortal treasure born from the flames.
"I, Old Cheng, will eat one today no matter what. Yuchi Charcoal, do you dare to compete with me?”Cheng Yaojin took the reddest and spiciest one and challenged Yuchi Jingde.
"Who's afraid of who? Come!" Yuchi Jingde also picked one. The two of them looked at each other and directly threw Little Chili Pepper into their mouths!
It was as if there was a fire in his mouth, and it was burning painfully!
Cheng Yaojin was sweating profusely. Yuchi Jingde was not any better, but he still refused to admit defeat. He lifted his sleeve to wipe his sweat." Do you dare to do it again?!"”
"Come, come, come. Whoever doesn't come is a coward!”
"The two Generals are truly sincere!”Li Er laughed. He liked brave warriors who dared to challenge!
Green Sparrow laughed so hard that her mouth was crooked. It was a pleasure to fight fiercely for a moment. Chrysanthemum crematorium!
Just you wait, when you wake up tomorrow morning, you will know how sour this little thing is!
Sure enough, the next day, Yuchi Jingde squatted in the toilet for the entire morning.
Cheng Yaojin wasn't any better. He limped for three days in a row.
"Just as His Highness King Yong said, this little thing Chili Pepper is indeed worthy of being born from a fire seed. It's mighty and overbearing, this Old Cheng's butt…Sigh!”
The fearless Demon King of Chaos had actually fallen in front of Little Chili!
From then on, everyone was afraid of chili peppers like tigers, and the streets of Chang 'an had the latest competition: Chili Eating Competition!
It was said that whoever could eat the most within the stipulated time could win a cow and go home!
However, the warriors who participated in the competition all went home with crutches.
He couldn't afford to hurt his chrysanthemum!
"Green Sparrow, don't be so mischievous in the future!”
Finally, Li Tai told his mother the truth. The so-called " spirit of tinder " and " fragrant wood " did not exist. The chili was just a very ordinary vegetable.
Apart from the red and slender morning pepper, the rest were not very spicy. There was even one that was not spicy at all.
Li Daozong came again, followed by a little girl who was as fair as jade. She was about the same age as Li Tai and had two long braids. When she saw Empress Zhangsun, she called her Empress in a crisp voice.
It was Li Xue Yan, the daughter of Li Daozong.
"Little brother!" Li Xue Yan was three months older than Li Tai, so she naturally had to address him as her younger brother. Li Tai looked at this beautiful little girl, but he really couldn't associate her with the future Princess Wen Cheng.
"Snow Goose, go out and play with Si Zi first. Father has something to say to your brother!”After Li Daozong sent his daughter away, his expression immediately changed. He cheekily hugged Li Tai's shoulder in an intimate manner." Your Highness King Yong, Green Sparrow, nephew…You promised uncle that you would teach me the art of firearms! Don't go back on your word!"
"Uncle, you're too stingy. If you want to learn knowledge, where are the apprenticeship gifts, the cultivation bundles, and the rewards? You don't take anything and you want to learn for free? Do you think the green sparrow's knowledge is worthless?”The green sparrow's mouth was as sharp as a knife, and Li Daozong was rendered speechless by its barrage of attacks!
"Nephew, what do you want? Uncle will get it for you!”Li Daozong's face turned red from the scolding. He thought for a moment and asked.
" I want..." Li Tai looked out of the window, his eyes turning as he came up with a plan!
