Chapter 221 The folk customs are simple and hospitable.

Time went back a few days ago. On the night of victory, a demon falcon brought a secret letter back to Shangjing at subsonic speed.

At that time, King Baxian was talking in secret in the emperor's study.

"Lao Ba, what do you think is the chance of Lizhuang winning?" the emperor asked the Eighth Prince.

"Ha, don't look at this child as young, but he is very arrogant. He thinks he has the ability and can resist the Yanan people. Then let him try it. I have already told Mr. Hu that if things are in crisis, he must take Gao Li away no matter what. They can have many talents in Lizhuang. Although they can't beat them, if they run away, the Yanan people can't stop them." King Baxian said with a smile.

"At this speed, within half a month, the rebels will come to Shangjing. How are our Sky-Polar Legion ready?" asked the emperor.

"Although there are still some problems, those 'Heavenly Man' have promised us that the Potian Legion can be dispatched at any time." The Baxian King whispered.

"Heavenly beings... have those celestial beings said recently?" The emperor's voice was even lower.

The Baxian King shook his head and said, "My people are following them almost every day, but these people are like puppets, and they do almost nothing except doing their own things every day."

The emperor couldn't help but take a deep breath, raised his head, his eyes seemed to pass through the roof, looked up at the sky, and sighed: "I used to think that the so-called heavenly beings were just a group of people with natural supernatural powers. But now I know that the so-called heavenly beings were so terrible. First, they were evil and then heavenly beings. There are too many things in this world that I don't know. Lao Ba, did you say that the decision of our ancestors back then was really right?"

The Baxian King smiled and said, "Whether it is right or wrong, things have come to this point, and I don't know you or I, so I'd better leave it to future generations to comment."

At this moment, a rhythmic knock sound came from the window, and a strange sound rang out: "Eighth Prince, the front line is urgently reported." The Baxian King immediately walked over and opened the window. The window was a demon falcon, which was the one who spoke people's words.

The window opened, and the demon falcon flew in and landed on the Eighth Prince's shoulder. It had a copper tube on one of its claws. The Eighth Prince took it, opened it and looked at it, and handed it to the emperor. The emperor whispered: "The mysterious weapons of Lizhuang... Yanan people, are they wiped out? A great victory?"

"Total annihilation?"

Gao Li looked at the Eighth Prince, and the Eighth Prince looked at the Demon Falcon. The Demon Falcon, and said, "The little demon could see clearly in the air. One of the Yanan people could not escape, three thousand people, and the other was not alive, and they were completely wiped out. Less than a moment when the two sides started a war, King Yannan was killed. Once the weapon exploded, the Yanan people immediately turned into a ball of blood!"

The emperor and the eighth prince looked at each other, and both sides saw the shock in each other's eyes.

The battle report ahead cannot be faked, and the demon falcon's eyes naturally cannot see flowers!

The Lizhuang that he was not optimistic about at all and didn't take it seriously at all! That small Lizhuang! The Lizhuang who made women's clothing!

The emperor burned the paper ball in his hand in the candlelight, immediately stood up and said, "Come on! Get ready! I want to visit privately!"

On the way here, the emperor and the Baxian King chatted a lot. Although they knew that Lizhuang had developed a weapon, this kind of thing that was limited to what they heard was not realistic. But now, this weapon can actually shoot one Yanan person at a time, and things are completely different.

"Old Ba, do you think Gao Li is a celestial being?" the emperor asked suddenly.

The Eighth Prince shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. I've seen Gao Li, and he doesn't have any true energy in the heavenly beings."

The emperor smiled and said, "If it is not a celestial being, then it can only be a genius. Moreover, his reputation of being greedy and lustful is not like a celestial being. But this time, he will wipe out the rebels in Lizhuang. What should I give him some?"

The Eighth Prince smiled and said, "If it really doesn't work, I will assign him a new Yannan King!"

The emperor laughed: "I wish someone would go to guard that place. I dare to enfeoff the title, would he dare to ask for it?"

"Hahaha, let alone him, I wouldn't dare." King Baxian laughed.

A happy air suddenly filled the entire carriage.

Actually, on the night when the war was won, Gao Li really thought about one thing carefully. That is whether his Lizhuang should retain large-scale armed forces.

But after thinking about it for a long time, he was very sure of one thing. There are too many things in this world that he cannot understand. For example, the emperor's fearless reason. If the emperor can allow the rebels to go north, then there is only one reason, that is, the emperor has strong armed forces, but this force can either not leave Shangjing or does not want to show it to others easily. No matter which one, it is actually not good for Gao Li. Gao Li was actually determined to make money, and he really didn't want to build Lizhuang into a military important place, so as long as there were no external threats, Gao Li was willing to give the emperor a face.

After all, once technology develops in the direction of destruction, its speed may be far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Along the way, Gao Li introduced their workshop to the emperor and looked at the metal processing equipment. He also focused on showing the emperor the furnace used to melt weapons.

This Eight Xian King is basically the Director of the CIA. If this person has a good attitude towards Gao Li, then the emperor will naturally not have too many grudges.

Of course, everyone knows it well whether it is the emperor or Gao Li. Since Gao Li can build an armed force that destroyed the Yanan people in this short period of time, destroying guns now is essentially just a statement. If you can create the first time, you can create the second time, the third time, or even faster than the last time.

Finally, after a circle, Gao Li took the emperor to the main hall, and everyone sat down. The emperor stared at Gao Li, and Gao Li stared at the emperor. Except for Gao Li, the rest of the main hall were people around the emperor. But there was a faint breath of a strong man flowing around him, and Li Tie felt ache at the back of the neck of the neck, and he couldn't help scratching with his hands. The emperor saw it and knew it.

Although Gao Li didn't say anything and his expression was very normal, as the emperor, he could still hear some dissatisfaction in Gao Li's eyes and words.

"Gao Li, let's talk about it. How do you plan to reward you with such great achievements this time?" the emperor smiled.

Alas, right, if you throw this sentence out first as soon as you come, wouldn’t everyone be happy?

"It is the obligation of every Wu people to share the worries of the country and the worries of your Majesty. This little thing is not worth mentioning. Your Majesty, just give it a little reward." A sincere smile suddenly appeared on Gao Li's face.

The emperor and the eighth prince looked at each other and smiled in their hearts: It turns out that you are just shook your face because the emperor did not mention the reward? A small matter? Not worth mentioning? Then what else is worth mentioning in this world?

However, this matter is really hard to reward. Such a great contribution to ending a war with one's own strength and throwing it into the army can almost be promoted from a soldier to a general of Xuanwei or Dingyuan level.

But Gao Li is not a military member.

Give money?

To be honest, there is no precedent. No matter how great your military achievements are, how can you give gold and silver directly?

Or, give to the land?

A group of people behind the emperor followed the county magistrate from afar. The emperor said to the county magistrate: "County magistrate, how many imperial villages are there in this county?"

The county magistrate didn't even think about it and bowed and replied directly: "Your Majesty, there are fifteen imperial villages in this county, all of which are fertile land, totaling more than 600 acres."

The emperor pointed at Gao Li: "From now on, these will belong to you."

Gao Li smiled and bowed, saying, "Thank you Your Majesty." His expression was neither humble nor arrogant, neither salty nor light.

Seeing Gao Li's actions, the emperor smiled and said, "You have made great contributions. I knew that you would definitely not look down on mere 600 acres of land. However, I really don't have anything to reward you at hand now. After all, you are a person who is 'not necessarily an official'. I can't confer a title as a prince, and then entrust Yannan City to you? That broken place is bordered by Yanan people, so I can't ask for it."

The emperor and his group laughed, especially Li Tiequan, who laughed the happiestly.

Hearing the emperor's words, Gao Li's smile suddenly became very brilliant. He gave a big gift and said loudly: "Thank you! Your Majesty!"

In an instant, the room became completely quiet.

Li Tiequan roared and rushed towards Gao Li, grabbed his hand that saluted, and pulled him up: "Brother, are you stupid? You can't go to that place! Those Yanan people are not hospitality!"
