Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

The officials were all waiting, and Li Shimin didn't even leave. None of them dared to leave. The generals had nothing to do, and out of professional habit began to observe the palace guards around them.

The palace guard did not hold a horse because he did not ride a horse. He only had a Tang sword on his waist. He was dressed in black armor and stood straight facing out. There were only some guards protecting Li Shimin's pavilion in the courtyard, and the others were on the outside. There were people even on the walls of the courtyard, and they were all carrying crossbows.

Qin Qiong observed that a guard stood motionless for half an hour. If he didn't know better, he would have thought it was a dummy. But every once in a while, several guards who looked like generals would patrol by. This is enough to show that Li Shimin has great trust in Li Shen.

Otherwise, how could it be possible for the guards of Prince Li Shen's Palace to be responsible for security work.

Cheng Yaojin even wanted to go up and take a look at their equipment, but was held back by Qin Qiong. Everyone has secrets.

"Second brother, look at the equipment of the guards in Prince Ji's palace. They should all be made of fine iron. Prince Ji is really wealthy. It costs a lot to feed this team for a year." Cheng Yaojin drooled as he looked at it.

"Zhijie, don't just look at the equipment. The equipment is just an external object that plays a supporting role. See if these guards are different from our sixteen guards." Qin Qiong reminded Cheng Yaojin.

"I think the equipment is better and you can stand straighter." Cheng Yaojin is most concerned about the equipment.

"Go back and ask the soldiers to stand for half an hour to see if they can remain motionless. The palace guards must have strict military discipline.

And if you look at their positions, you and I have both served as His Majesty's guards. They have a clear division of labor and perform their respective duties. This should have been specially trained by King Ji to protect him. "Qin Qiong explained to Cheng Yaojin, a big boss.

"This King Ji is so afraid of death," Cheng Yaojin whispered.

"I even doubt how you became a general. You can't even see it in these formations. My second brother has said many times that you should study more." Yuchi Jingde sneered from the side.

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to accuse me? How can you be better than me? You are the only one who studies more. You and me, Old Cheng, don't say anything to anyone else." Cheng Yaojin was unwilling.

"Okay, you two, please calm down for a while." After Qin Qiong spoke, the two hob meat also stopped.

But soon Cheng Yaojin noticed that several of the guards following Li Shen and Li Shimin were carrying a black box-like thing in their hands. So he asked Qin Qiong, "Second brother, what do those people have in their hands?"

Qin Qiong looked at it carefully. He shook his head and said, "I can't tell, it seems to be a box."

"Is it for weapons?" Yuchi Jingde guessed.

"Impossible. Weapons should be carried with you and you can pull them out immediately. Packing them in a box takes too much time," Qin Qiong said.

"What are you guessing here? We'll find out if we go and ask." Cheng Yaojin walked straight towards Li Shimin, and Qin Qiong didn't even want to stop him.

Li Shen was sitting in the pavilion with Li Shimin explaining what surgery was when he saw Cheng Yaojin walking over, followed by Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde and several other generals.

Cheng Yaojin walked into the pavilion and asked Li Shen directly: "Your Highness Prince Ji, I would like to ask what exactly is in the boxes these people are holding." He pointed to a guard next to Li Shen.

Li Shen looked at his fingers and said: "This is a secret and it is not convenient to disclose it." Li Shen did not offend him.

"This..." Cheng Yaojin didn't expect Li Shen to be so disrespectful. His face turned red and he didn't know what to say.

Li Shimin had also noticed it a long time ago, and Li Shen sent two people with boxes to follow him. Because he was worried about Li Xiaogong's condition, he didn't ask about it. He only remembered it now that Cheng Yaojin asked about it.

"Li Shen, these uncles are my confidants, not outsiders. Let them see." Of course Li Shimin would not let go of such a good opportunity to win people's hearts.

As expected, Li Shimin's words made each of these generals look grateful.

Li Shen looked at the officials of the family and found that they were all gathered in the distance, so he winked at the guard next to him. After understanding, the guard raised his hand carrying the things, and then suddenly the box opened and he carefully opened it. At first glance, there are six blocks connected together. Cheng Yaojin stepped forward and knocked it with his hand, then turned around and said, "It's an iron block."

"Wrong, it's a steel block"

"Aye, this is my latest development. The guards carry the shield with them. It is made of six pieces of fine steel. It is thin and hard, light and easy to carry. It is punched and connected with an iron ring.

I tested it with crossbow arrows and strong bows, and they couldn't penetrate it at all. And it weighs only more than 30 kilograms, which can effectively withstand the attack of arrows and powerful crossbows. It's just that it's too hard and difficult to manufacture. I prepared four mates for Aye, and asked General Li to take them with him when he left. "Li Shen began to introduce to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin stepped forward and struck it with his hand, then took Li An's knife and slashed it. If you look carefully, there is only a white mark. "Li Shen, this is a good thing from you. As expected, people say that King Ji is rich and powerful. Then I'm not welcome." Li Shimin was very satisfied with Li Shen's filial piety and happily accepted it.

"Your Highness, the gap in the middle is not big, but what if you happen to hit the gap? Otherwise you will still be injured, it is not as good as Mudun." Cheng Yaojin looked at the gap above and said

"Gong Lu, the shield is held by a villain. If there are arrow feathers that pass through without hurting the prince, the villain's body will naturally block it." The guard holding the shield explained to Cheng Yaojin.

"Then you are dead?" Cheng Yaojin asked

"We were originally the prince's bodyguards. If we didn't have a shield, we would still have to block His Highness's arrows. Now that the prince has spent a lot of money to build a shield for us, it is already a kindness to us.

And not everyone is qualified to hold a shield. Many of the guards in the house want to hold a shield for the prince. Because if we die, we will receive a generous pension, which will be enough to make my family prosperous and wealthy for two generations. If our children are promising, they may even become officials in the court. "The guard said proudly.

Li Shen's bodyguards were basically from the imperial village. Li Shen gave them land and built houses for them, and those who served as Li Shen's shields were basically those who already had children.

Coupled with the generous pension, the guards had the urge to block Li Shen's arrows.

"Hey, Old Cheng, I finally feel that money is still important in this world. His Highness Prince Ji is very wealthy. In the words of Prince Ji, anything that can be solved with money is nothing." Cheng Yaojin was finally defeated by Li Shen's money offensive. This shield is worth a lot of money.

Everyone smiled after hearing this and felt that what Cheng Yaojin said made sense.

"Come out." Suddenly someone shouted over there. Li Shimin and others quickly stood up and walked to the operating room.
