Everyone in the room was shocked to hear this.
Everyone looked at Li Shimin.
Old Xiu must have come to stop Zhang Feng from making this thing. This was exactly what Yu Shinan and the others wanted. However, Old Xiu was too stubborn. If he offended the Emperor at this time, wouldn't that be …
Li Shimin sighed helplessly. "Let him in!"
Old Xiu looked around the room as soon as he entered. Then, he said to Zhang Feng, "Fengzi, can you not use that thing you made in any war?"
Zhang Feng didn't think too much about it. After all, this matter had already happened. Moreover, he already knew about Qiuci City. It was his decision. Regardless of whether Qiuci City would win the war or not, he must eliminate the nobles in the city. Qiuci City would become a trading hub and an important location for Zhang Feng's future plans.
He couldn't afford to lose it.
Zhang Feng sighed. "Old Xiu, I really don't want to start a war. No one knows the power and terror of this thing better than I do. The terrifying power it can cause is definitely not something that swords, spears, or arrows can compare to. If you're injured by it, you'll either die or lose an arm or a leg."
"However, you should also know the importance of Qiuci City to the Tang Dynasty. If Qiuci City fails, the western gate of the Tang Dynasty will no longer be safe. You should know that all the military forces in Qiuci City are the sum of all the military forces in the western part of the Tang Dynasty. If we fail, the Turks will take advantage of the situation and invade the south in large numbers!"
"You should know that this year, the Tang Dynasty is not the only one affected by the disaster. The Turks and Tubo, India, are suffering from a more serious plague of locusts and food shortages! But only our Tang Dynasty reacted the fastest. How could this not attract their attention? "
Li Shimin also sighed slightly. "Fengzi is right. This morning, Lord Zhangsun brought His Majesty's message. Basically, this time, the Tang Dynasty didn't take the initiative to start a war, but counterattacked!"
"Once the Tang Dynasty fails to win this war, Mr. Zihuai, just think about it. Peace in the world is nothing but empty talk!"
Yu Shinan and the others were also constantly persuading Old Xiu to give up his original obsession.
He really didn't want to see a war, especially at such a time. If the soldiers and horses moved, they would be burning money and food!
But it was the same at this time. The Tang Dynasty could not afford it.
Coupled with the current situation in the Tang Dynasty, once Zhang Feng appeared here, it would inevitably cause more danger, which was the last thing the old scholar wanted to see.
But now?
His Majesty had already said so. If he said anything else, he would be tactless.
The old scholar looked at Zhang Feng and then looked at Li Shimin. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly. "I've heard about that thing. It's too lethal. If word gets out that it was Fengzi who did it, have you thought about how the world, and the person behind it, would impeach Fengzi?"
"How will the world view White Deer College?"
"Brother Zihuai! Why don't you listen to what Fengzi has to say first? "Yu Shinan saw Li Shimin's face gradually turn gloomy and hurriedly pulled the old scholar to the side to sit down.
Zhang Feng also saw Li Shimin's expression and was somewhat suspicious. "Lao Li, this is His Majesty's matter. Why do I feel that you are more anxious than His Majesty?"
Li Shimin was shocked.
He hurriedly said, "How can I not be anxious? His Majesty already knows that you're tinkering with this weapon. He originally wanted to come and see you, but for some reason you know, he couldn't come. Moreover, basically everyone in the imperial court knows about this thing. If Qiuci is defeated, then … "
"Think about it. You're a viscount and you'll be fine, but we'll all die!"
"Do you think we should be anxious?"
Yu Shinan and the others heard this and nodded repeatedly.
They completely ignored the old scholar's expression.
Zhang Feng was also confused by these people's words.
He hurriedly comforted them. "Don't be anxious. It's just a small matter."
"Can't I take care of it?"
"Moreover, this thing is actually everywhere in our lives. As long as we have enough saltpeter and gunpowder and enough manpower, I can get you a large batch in three days!"
"Moreover, the power of this thing is definitely not inferior to the thing I threw at the waterfall just now. In fact, it's dozens of times more powerful than that thing!"
Yu Shinan and the others had seen the power of the homemade bomb that blew up Qiuci City. Although Li Shimin and the others had not seen it with their own eyes, they still knew a little about it from Li Chengqian's description. .
Now that they heard Zhang Feng say that the power of this thing was dozens of times more powerful than that homemade bomb, their expressions couldn't help but change abruptly.
They all stood up and stared at him with burning eyes. Almost in unison, they asked, "Is what you said true? This thing can really do that? "
Zhang Feng was more speechless.
But he still nodded.
"I guarantee it! The power and lethality of this thing is definitely something you've never seen before. As long as we have this thing as a trump card in Qiuci City, I believe that even if a million soldiers come, they won't be able to do anything to us! "
