"Hmph hmph hmph..."
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
"Eh, I don't smell it either.”
"Yeah, the smell of blood? Why can't we smell it? "
Your Majesty, is there really a smell of blood here?" Were the people in the King of Wei's courtyard slaughtering sheep and cattle? Anyway, I only smelled the fragrance of osmanthus.”
Zhangsun
Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui sniffed hard, but they couldn't smell the blood they were talking about.
"Milords."
"Your Majesty has been through many battles and is more sensitive to the smell of blood.”
"I've seen many blood seas and corpses, so I can smell them.”
"This smell…is very faint. It's very difficult for ordinary people to detect it.”
Li Junxian hurriedly explained.
"It's done."
"Let's go."
"It's right in front. Let's walk over.”
Li Shi Min held onto Che Bang with one hand and jumped down. He clapped his hands and looked at the ground under his feet as he let out a sigh.
His gaze was deep as he scanned the area.
He also wanted to take a look at the matter that the noble clan was talking about. It was a little strange.
Could it be that the 2,000 troops had really disappeared from this place?
How was that possible?
This place…didn't look like a place where two thousand people had passed by.
Li Junxian hurriedly followed.
Zhangsun Wuji and the other two hurriedly jumped down.
"Your Majesty…Your Majesty…"
"Hehehe…Wait for us."”
At this moment, Empress Zhangsun's voice came from behind. She walked over with Little Si and Princess Chang Le.
The three of them had been following behind in the car.
Seeing that Li Shiming and the others had gotten off the car, they naturally got off as well.
Especially the little rhinoceros. It was so excited that it fell off the car. However, it didn't cry or make a fuss. It got up from the ground and rushed towards Li Shiming with its arms wide open.
"Father... Father..."
"Ice."
"Eat ice."
The little rhinoceros handed the ice cube that was covered in mud to Li Shi Min.
The weather was really hot and dry. It was really a beautiful thing to have an ice cube.
Li Shi Min's mouth twitched."Little rhinoceros, eat it. Father is not thirsty."”
"Guanyin, Changle, slow down and be careful of your steps.”
Li Shi Min raised his head and instructed.
It was obvious that very few people walked on this mountainous area. It was full of potholes, with one foot deep and one foot shallow. It was really difficult to walk.
"I'm fine."
"Your Majesty, why did you get out of the car?”
"This road is so difficult, and the weather is so hot.”
Empress Zhangsun was somewhat puzzled.
Li Shi Min smiled. He didn't mention the matter of the aristocratic family. Instead, he stretched his arms and said,"Zhen stays in the Imperial City every day."
"I feel like my entire body is about to condense into one piece.”
"It wasn't easy for us to get out this time, so why don't we go for a walk?”
"Hehehehe…I'm exercising.”
Li Shi Min said.
Empress Zhangsun nodded, not suspecting him.
"Let's go." Li Shi Min waved his sleeves and slowly walked forward.
On the way, he was observing.
The surroundings, left and right, front and back, up and down...
This place didn't look like it had experienced a great battle. Those 2,000 people definitely couldn't have ended here.
"Your Majesty, the further we walk, the stronger the fragrance is.”
Li Junxian reminded.
Li Shi Min nodded. He had also noticed this.
"Hiss…It smells so good. Father, this smell…I've never smelled it before.”
"There seem to be several types mixed together.”
"It smells really good."
Princess Chang Le walked and stopped. From time to time, she would take a few deep breaths, her expression intoxicated.
Young ladies like them had nothing to do on a daily basis. What they liked the most was to collect all kinds of perfume bags, rouge, and makeup.
This was no different from the little girls in the future who liked to collect perfume, lipstick, and makeup.
That was why Princess Chang Le was quite sensitive to all kinds of fragrances.
"Yes, I am."
"Looks like Green Sparrow is also an exquisite prince. I didn't notice it before. This smell should be arranged by him.”
Empress Zhangsun was also intoxicated.
It had to be said that this taste was really divine.
Not to mention the distinct layers, the various flavors mixed together were actually very clear, without the slightest greasy feeling.
It had to be said that even the sachets of the Great Tang were fragrant, but their fragrance wasn't that pure, let alone several dozen sachets placed together. It was impossible to tell what each sachet smelled like.
But…
the smell here was really good.
Empress Zhangsun was able to distinguish at least five or six different fragrances.
"It should be."
"This brat is quite meticulous.”
Li Shi Min didn't say anything more and just smiled.
"This fragrance... I'll have to give the green sparrow some spices later.”Princess Chang Le was looking forward to it.
"I also need to get some points to suppress my aura." Empress Zhangsun smiled so widely that her eyes turned into crescents.
"Aiya!"
"Little Si, run slowly.”
"Don't run around. It's hot, you…Aiya…"
"Be careful not to get dizzy and catch a cold. We didn't bring much ice from the palace, so we can't cool you down later.”
Little Si took the lead and had already rushed to the front of the group.
Li Shimin didn't say anything, but Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but start nagging.
This girl was too crazy.
Immediately, he ordered someone to take out another piece of ice.
The ice that Little Rhinoceros had just taken should have melted. What if he sweated all over and caught a cold? Besides, it wouldn't be good to get hot in such a hot day!
(Heat is heat stroke)
Immediately, a servant girl from the palace came over with an ice bucket.
However, when he opened it, there were already a few pieces of ice inside.
Ice was a luxury item in the Great Tang Empire, especially in summer. It was comparable to gold, and even if you had gold, you might not be able to buy it.
After all, the method of storing it was too difficult.
The Great Tang didn't have the craft of making ice.
Empress Zhangsun was usually reluctant to use this. In recent years, the Great Tang's finances had been tight, so Empress Zhangsun was usually very thrifty.
However, she had no way to deal with Little Si.
He immediately brought Chang Le and the ice bucket to the front to take care of the little rhinoceros.
"It's really comfortable to have ice cubes in the summer. Unfortunately, the ice cubes in my house have been used up long ago.”Du Ruhui smiled and sighed.
"Who told you to use it in large quantities as soon as summer arrived? Serves you right. Even His Majesty doesn't use it like you do.”
"To put it bluntly, even if I gave you an iceberg, it wouldn't be enough for you.”
Fang Xuanling teased.
"Your Majesty, do you know how Ke Ming uses ice? As soon as the weather gets hot, he will take out a large piece of ice and put it on himself.”
"He even put a layer on the bed and lay on it himself.”
"It's too extravagant. Even the noble clans don't have such a method.”
Zhangsun Wuji added.
"Tsk!"
Du Ruhui didn't care about this and curled his lips."In a year, to be able to have a few days like this, I am already satisfied.”
"When the weather gets hot, thinking about how carefree we were during those few days, we won't feel hot anymore.”
"You guys…use one today and another tomorrow. Although there's ice every day in summer, what's the point?”
[A single point is not satisfying!]”
Du Ruhui was disgusted.
"Then keep it warm."
"Today, when we go home, we can still enjoy the ice to sleep.”
Fang Xuanling and Zhangsun Wuji retorted.
Li Shi Min laughed as he listened to the three bickering.
However, there was no right or wrong in this matter. Everyone had their own way of using it.
Anyway, the total amount remained unchanged. As for how they used it, it depended on their mood.
"Look, here…are there any traces of two thousand people disappearing?”
"The reason why the noble clans keep sending spies here is undoubtedly to find clues.”
"What do you think?”
Li Shi Min said softly.
"
Your Majesty, there are no signs of a fight here."”
"If the two thousand men really died here, then…the other group of people would be able to clean up the battlefield and clear up the traces. Their methods are unparalleled in the world. Even I have never heard of such methods.”
Li Junxian sternly said.
"Your Majesty, Commander Li is right.”
"These 2,000 people might have just passed by here, but they definitely won't disappear here.”
"If you want to cover up the battlefield where two thousand people died, no, it should be far more than two thousand people. You have to know that the elites of the noble clans have to pay at least the same price to keep them all alive.”
"This place is still so flat! There wouldn't be any unexpected plans.”
"We can only fight head-on.”
"So, to be able to recover to this extent in just a few days…Impossible, I can't think of any way.”
Zhangsun Wuji echoed.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui nodded.
They couldn't believe what kind of war it was.
To be honest, if there was such a war, they would definitely be able to get the news.
"Hu…"
Li Shimin exhaled,
"Golden Guards, have you been watching this place? They also said that there was nothing unusual?”Li Shi Min asked.
Counting the days, before the two thousand troops disappeared, the scouts of the Golden Guards had already been watching the King of Wei's courtyard.
If there was really movement, he would definitely not be able to hide it.
The Golden Guards would definitely know.
"No, everything is normal!"
Li Junxian said.
"Yes."
"This group of noble clans must be deliberately mystifying.”
"Forget it, let's not care about them.”
Li Shi Min nodded slightly.
She did not want to think about this matter anymore.
In front of them was the King of Wei's courtyard.
He caught up with Empress Zhangsun and the other two.
"Your Majesty, my lords, please take a piece of ice as well.”
"The weather is too hot. Phew…This ice can't be stored for long, or it'll all melt.”
Empress Zhangsun said.
Hearing this, Du Ruhui didn't stand on ceremony. He picked up a piece of ice and held it in his hand.
"Wow, cool!!!”
Du Ruhui's face was filled with enjoyment.
"You old fogey!"
Li Shi Min laughed and quickly took a piece.
If he didn't take it now, there wouldn't be any left.
Fang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji, and Li Junxian each took a piece.
The ice was gone.
"Ice is really good stuff.”
"I wonder if there's a way to make ice in summer.”
"Hehehe... Even if I give him my position as the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, I must change it.”
Du Ruhui shouted.
Fang Xuanling rolled his eyes at him.
"Ice, this is a gift from the heavens for winter.”
"How can you make ice in summer?”
"Dream on."
Li Shi Min sighed,"I guess only immortals can have such immortal techniques."”
"This day…is really too hot. No, let's go in and rest.”
Li Shi Min felt his back was drenched.
This journey wasn't far, but it was really scorching, literally scorching.
The sun was already out, and the sunlight was so hot that it hurt her face.
"Your Majesty, it's just ahead.”Li Junxian hurriedly pointed forward.
From here, he could clearly see the King of Wei's courtyard.
The King of Wei's Courtyard was built against the mountain. A small part of it was under the sun, while the other side was completely blocked by tall trees. It was very cool at a glance.
"I wonder if the green sparrow is inside.”Empress Zhangsun said in a low voice.
"This brat…" Li Shimin shook his head."Li Junxian, go and call Cheng Yaojin over.”
Cheng Yaojin led the Thousand Bull Guards and held the rear.
"Yes, sir!" Li Junxian immediately gave the order.
Finally, they reached the steps of the main door.
The door was still tightly shut.
Li Shi Min looked at the stairs and let out a long sigh.
"We're finally here."
"I've arrived, but you're still not opening the door... There can't be no one inside, right?”
Li Shi Min frowned.
"Your Majesty, should we send someone to knock on the door first?”Empress Zhangsun said.
"There's no need. Since zhen has come personally, he won't be guarding the door.”
"Humph!"
"You sure know how to enjoy yourself."
Li Shiming felt a little unbalanced.
Damn it…What kind of temperature was it in Chang 'an? What was the temperature here?
Standing there, Li Shi Min could feel the mountain wind blowing down the stairs.
"Hehehe..."
"Your Majesty, please."
Empress Zhangsun dodged to the side.
Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui stood at the back, looking at the door with a puzzled expression.
The style of this door…I've never seen it before.
It didn't seem to be pushing or pulling, but rather, pushing left and right.
Your Highness, what a good idea.
They praised.
This mountain road was not flat. If it was a common push and pull, the door would not be so fair if it had to be opened and closed conveniently.
The corner of the door had to be cut off.
However, if he were to push and pull, he would be able to solve this problem perfectly.
Li Shiming rubbed his hands and threw the ice on the ground.
He coughed lightly and stepped forward.
Everyone followed.
Standing in front of the door and looking through the gap, there was really no one inside.
There was really no one?
Li Shimin frowned, picked up a stone from the ground, and began to knock on the door.
However, there seemed to be no reaction at all.
"I removed it."
Li Shi Min was getting impatient.
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin and Li Junxian rushed over from behind.
"Your Majesty, let me do it!" Cheng Yaojin shouted.
But at this moment.
The
door suddenly opened.
[
Beg Huahua, just a little bit more to reach 70,000. Beg, beg, beg, beg, beg, beg, beg, beg, beg, beg, beg, beg, beg!]!!! Beg Huahua, beg Huahua!
