Li Xiao was very satisfied with Qian Qing's performance. He slowly walked to Li Chengqian's side and said,
"Imperial Brother, since you are the Crown Prince and the future ruler of the Great Tang, you shouldn't act like an Imperial Uncle…
"I'm afraid you already understand what I'm saying.”
The moment these words came out, Li Chengqian immediately came to a realization.
That's right!
He was in the same situation as Li Jiancheng.
His father, Li Shi Min, liked the King of Yue, Li Tai, and even called him Green Sparrow.
In reality, this Li Xiao in front of him had no chance of inheriting the throne.
Moreover, he was not particularly favored by his father. Instead, he might even be an ally.
The person in real danger was Li Tai.
He wanted to learn from his father, kill him, and replace him.
After thinking about the pros and cons, Li Chengqian's expression immediately eased as he slowly made way for him.
"Royal brother, are you really letting him go?"
Li Tai asked in surprise.
"Imperial brother, Li Xiao is the person that mother likes. Do you really want to make a move?”
Li Chengqian looked at Li Tai with disdain.
"Hmph, mother likes him, but we are mother's children.
"Who is Li Xiao? Even if Imperial Mother came today, I wouldn't be afraid!”
Li Tai said proudly.
"You're really shameless. I only called you brother because you're a few months older than me.
"If you don't want face, see how this king will deal with you!”。Li Xiao said coldly.
"I'm rebelling against you…"
Li Tai had never been insulted by such words, and he immediately got up.
He rolled up his sleeves and walked over to Ruoli Xiao, ready to make a move.
Bang!
With a dull thud, Li Tai was knocked to the ground.
Li Chengqian, who was at the side, only saw Li Xiao's figure flash like a bolt of lightning. After that, he could not see anything clearly.
He was extremely shocked.
To have such skills was beyond his expectations.
He had thought that Li Tai was going to teach him a lesson…
He didn't expect such an outcome.
For a moment, Li Chengqian could not react and was stunned on the spot.
On the ground, Li Tai had been knocked unconscious by Li Xiao.
Li Tai's subordinates shouted loudly as they carried Li Tai to the Imperial Academy of Medicine in a hurry.
Halfway there, Li Tai woke up and shouted,"
"Li Xiao! Just you wait, I'll make you wish you were dead!
Crown Prince Li Chengqian also reacted at this time and scolded Li Xiao sternly,"
"Li Xiao, I will report today's matter to my father. Let's see how he punishes you!”
"Do you think I, Li Xiao, am afraid of you? Go!" Li Xiao waved his sleeves and left with Qian Qing.
——
After returning to the bedroom, the system notification rang.
"The host angrily rebuked Li Chengqian and Li Tai. The reward is a one-star lottery draw!”
"One-star lottery?" Li Xiao was stunned.
"Is there a star rating for this lottery draw?"
"Yes, host. The current highest level of the lottery draw is five stars.”
Li Xiao nodded and said,
"Alright, let's see."
It was the first time in his life that he would be able to draw a lottery from the system. He was a little excited just thinking about it!
Soon, a small wheel appeared in Li Xiao's mind. After a while, a new notification appeared.
"Congratulations, Master, for drawing a one-star item, the method to make ironware!”
"Pfft-"
Li Xiao almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"What's the use of drawing this? I'm a prince, not a blacksmith!"
The System said," Host, one of the ironware crafting methods is to craft horseshoes. Horseshoes are very useful in the current era of war. They can directly increase the combat strength of warhorses.”
"With horseshoes, it's easy for a warhorse to travel 800 miles a day.”
" Besides horseshoes, there are other ways to make ironware…"
Li Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard the system's words.
"The various methods of making ironware, this…is really good stuff!”
For example, making armor that surpassed the hardness of all weapons in this era could be said to be invulnerable!
Other than that, he could also create other divine weapons…
"Very good. It seems that this lottery draw is not bad.”
The more Li Xiao thought about it, the happier he became. He strode towards the Ministry of Works.
"Let the Ministry of Works cooperate with me to make horseshoes. One day, if we become a vassal, we can use them ourselves!”
After making up his mind, Li Xiao rushed to the entrance of the Ministry of Works with a happy face.
The Minister of Works, Wu Shi, was already at the door, smiling.
"Your Highness, I am Wu Shi. What are your orders?”
Wu Shi Yao, Wu Meiniang's father, was still three years away from Wu Meiniang entering the palace.
During the Xuanwu Gate incident, Wu Shi was exiled to Chang 'an. After Li Shimin's success, he returned and became the minister of the Ministry of Works.
What he did for Li Shimin was unknown in the history books.
Li Xiao nodded and said to Wu Shi,"
"Martial arts master, this is the method to make horseshoes. This king wants to put shoes on the warhorses of the Great Tang…"
With that, he led the way in.
Wu Shi also quickly followed him in and asked carefully,"
"Your Highness, what exactly are the horseshoes you speak of? Warhorse shoes? The four legs of a warhorse weren't afraid of the cold, so why would they wear shoes?”
Li Xiao said,"
"Well…it's a long story. In short, you just need to cooperate with me and listen to my commands.”
"Yes, I'll definitely do as you say."
The warrior replied, thinking that he had to report to the emperor later.
