Chapter 188: The King of the Wood
"Gift-giving? You mean that Merton boy came to give me a gift! ”
In the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin looked at Xi Junmai who came to report in surprise!
"Back to Your Majesty, now Lord Mo is waiting outside the palace." Xi Jun bought it.
"Oh! If you have nothing to do, you are either a traitor or a thief, so this kid shouldn't be in trouble again! Li Shimin said with a smile.
"Huh? According to the report from Baiqi, Mo Hou Ye has not had any abnormal behavior recently, or Weichen would have gone to reject him! Xi Junmai thought for a while.
"No, since he's here, let him in!" Li Shimin said.
To tell the truth, if it were an ordinary person, Li Shimin probably wouldn't see it, but the things that Merton shot out, all of which are high-quality products that benefit the country and the people, and Li Shimin is still very curious about the things that Merton can send in person.
Soon, Merton led four horses to a luxurious four-wheeled carriage to the front of the Taiji Palace, and it was forbidden to ride horses in the palace, not even carriages, so Merton naturally would not commit this taboo.
"A carriage salute!" Li Shimin couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the four-wheeled carriage, and his gaze at Merton was suddenly a little unkind, it seems that Merton's kid has caused a lot of trouble! It's so bloody.
Morton's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, and he said curtly: "Your Majesty misunderstood, the gift from Weichen is this carriage." ”
"Carriage?" Li Shimin was suddenly embarrassed, and then he found the strange-looking four-wheeled carriage.
Only then did Li Shimin remember that in the secret report a few days ago, the news of the ambulance of the Mo Hospital that appeared in Chang'an City seemed to be a four-wheeled carriage.
When Wechen was designing an ambulance for Mojia Hospital, he suddenly realized that not only patients don't like bumps, but ordinary people don't like bumps in carriages, and even Wechen would rather ride a horse than a car far every time he goes back to Mojia Village. So the kid made a four-wheeled carriage for ordinary people on a whim, His Majesty has every opportunity, and usually likes to inspect the people, and this comfortable and stable four-wheeled carriage will definitely not suffer from bumps. Merton patted his ass.
"Oh!" Li Shimin's curiosity suddenly rose.
Merton led Li Shimin to the carriage and opened the door, revealing the soft collapse inside and Merton's imitation leather-wrapped seats, explaining the advantages of the four-wheeled carriage one by one.
Li Shimin tried to sit on the leather-wrapped seat, and suddenly felt that his body was soft, his back was perfectly supported, and his body, which had already been exhausted after sitting for a long time to deal with official documents, suddenly relaxed.
"Huh!"
Li Shimin was surprised, and couldn't help but move his body, and the original fatigue suddenly disappeared.
"Oh! Count you kid with a heart! Li Shimin is also moved in his heart, he usually lives in the deep palace for a long time, the weak emperor, often travels and knows the pain of the bumps in the carriage, sometimes he would rather ride a horse than take a car, but as the emperor's safety in the world, sometimes he has to ride in the carriage.
"Your Majesty, this carriage seems to be comfortable, but Your Majesty's travel is still based on safety, so it would be better to ask the Imperial Horse Supervisor to imitate this carriage and build it separately." Xi Junmai said persuadingly.
You must know that the carriage and horses that the emperor rides, from the wood to the workmanship are all first-class, although the four-wheeled carriage of Merton is fashionable, but the material is unknown, the workmanship is rough, where can it compare with the craftsmanship of the imperial horse supervisor. Moreover, the emperor's chariot has always been safety first, and the materials selected are all first-class good wood, and the wood in Mojia Village in front of him is not precious wood at first glance.
"General Xi can be seen, this carriage is made of the best wood in the world!" Merton shook his head and retorted.
"The best wood?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Xi Junmai, but even Li Shimin was dumbfounded.
"Merton, you kid can talk big, I haven't seen any precious wood in the palace, but I've never seen wood like you, is it the Imperial Horse Supervisor who deceived me?" Li Shimin said unhappily.
Besides, if he really did this kind of wood, but the Imperial Horse Warden didn't give it to him, where would he be placed?
Merton suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, it is not the fault of the Imperial Horse Warden, but this kind of wood is too hard to cut at all, let alone make a carriage." ”
"Too hard? How hard is it? Li Shimin asked rhetorically.
Merton's face was grim, and he said, "This wooden knife is invulnerable." ”
"Invulnerability?" Li Shimin exclaimed.
"Lord Mo said that he laughed, it's just a piece of wood, is it still harder than steel!" Xi Junmai looked at the carriage in front of him and said sharply.
"Harder than iron, stronger than steel!" Merton humored himself.
"Merton, do you know that if you talk nonsense, it is a crime of deception." Li Shimin said sharply.
"General Xi has a sword in his hand, but just give it a try." Merton said confidently.
Where is Xi Jun willing to believe that there is wood in this world that is harder than steel, and he couldn't help but look at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin nodded slowly, he also wanted to know if there was really such a hard wood in this world.
"Your Majesty, please step away!"
Xi Junmai said that, he slowly pulled out the horizontal knife, tied the horse, held the knife in both hands, and slowly accumulated strength.
He didn't believe that there was such a hard wood in this world, and for the emperor's safety, he had to experiment himself, otherwise something would happen, and none of them would be able to escape.
"Hey!"
The horizontal knife in Xi Junmai's hand slashed hard at the carriage, and suddenly there was a sound of gold and iron resonating, Xi Junmai only felt that the huge rebound force hit, almost making him unable to hold the horizontal knife, and he couldn't help but stagger back three steps.
"How is that possible?" Xi Junmai looked at a white mark behind the carriage and was shocked.
Li Shimin also came over, looking at the white marks on the wood, and his mouth grew in surprise, you must know that Xi Jun bought the horizontal knife in his hand, but the standard weapons in the palace are made of the best steel.
Coupled with Xi Jun's strength, he only cut a white mark on this wood, and even the skin was not broken.
"Let me come!" Li Shimin didn't believe it.
Three zhang away, Li Shimin held a strong crossbow, aimed at the rear carriage of the carriage, and pulled the trigger hard, this distance The lethality of the strong crossbow is the strongest.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, with a whistling sound, the bolts collided with the carriage behind the carriage.
"Dang!"
There was a dull thud, and the bolts fell to the ground, but they didn't even hit them.
Li Shimin put down the crossbow and came to the carriage, and saw that the arrows of the crossbow arrows had been twisted, but the wooden planks were still intact, and he couldn't help but praise them repeatedly: "It is indeed harder than iron and stronger than steel." ”
"Aside from the Eight Bull Crossbow, Wei Chen really can't think of anything else that can destroy this wood." Xi Junmai was completely convinced this time.
The eight-ox crossbow is a heavy weapon in the army, it requires eight people to move, and it is impossible to appear outside the battlefield, which means that the carriage that Merton sacrificed has almost no weapons that can threaten it.
This is simply the most suitable carriage for the emperor.
"There are still such strange trees in the world!" Li Shimin was also impressed.
"This is iron birch, all over Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty Suzhou and Hangzhou generation is also distributed, its material is hard and sinks into the water, harder than steel, known as the king of wood." Merton said loudly.
