Chapter 271 Gifts to Li Er
Shi Lei specially selected two majestic antelope to pull the cart. Since Li Er was talking about two carts of gifts, Shi Lei strictly controlled the gifts among the two cars, just from the pulling cart to everything on the cart, and even the cart itself, it was just a gift.
It seems a bit unreasonable to not send mounts like the golden antelope to the palace to be used as mounts for the emperor. These two four-wheeled carriages made of golden nanmu are also full of royal demeanor. It is just right to send them to Li Eryong, which saves the slightest emperor from being tempted.
Recently, the thorns and four-wheeled carriages of Shi Lei's family have been in the limelight. The famous nobles in Chang'an City have been using this coquettish wedding convoy, whether they marry their daughters, daughters, or simply rerun themselves. This is even more cool than the wedding convoys composed of top supercars in later generations.
But after seeing it for too many times, such a scene can no longer attract the attention of Chang'an people.
They are proud imperial capitals. When they see each other twice, they are still a scene. When they see each other three times and four times, can they still count on them, like unsightly country bumpkins, and watch endlessly?
That was too underestimated by their vision. The Chang'an people who were knowledgeable were not those with shallow eyes.
This time when I entered the palace, the car was equipped with the formic acid and explosive beetle that Li Er specially called for.
In addition, leather jackets and down jackets carefully made by their own shop owners are also included, and they will soon become cold, which is also a pleasure.
In addition, according to Li Er's requirements, Shi Lei needs to show off his ability to train eagles well. Shi Lei must bring Yan Yinghuangtian with him.
But these are still secondary. The surprise Shi Lei really prepared was not these valuable things, but a priceless technology.
Although Shi Lei was also appointed as an Imperial Guard, unfortunately he was a man who only paid for his wages and did not work. The guards in the palace did not tell him any mercy.
The search was so strict that no one could let go of any side or corners. Especially the carriage, they flipped through all the things up and down inside and out.
Even so, he still put Shi Lei's weapon down, leaving him with a waist knife, which was considered respect for a martial honor.
Shi Lei was prepared for this and would not be unhappy just because they were responsible.
This is the imperial city and the lifeline of the empire. It is normal to be strict.
The level of this inspection is not as strict as that of some public transportation places in later generations.
At least Shi Lei has something to do with him, so he won’t have to break into the palace alone with a nail clipper.
Shi Lei was still full of curiosity about the Tang Dynasty Palace. He submitted an application early on through Li Chengqian and the others, and was summoned by Li Er.
After coming to the palace, you have to pass the communication and obtain the qualification to receive the acceptance, and then you have this opportunity to meet Li Er after inspection.
This is not like the protagonists of many time travel novels in later generations. Entering and leaving the palace is like visiting relatives. Li Er always treats you as close as his own son.
You should know that even Li Chengqian doesn’t mean that he can see Li Er at any time if he wants to see him.
Li Er in the imperial city plays more the role of an emperor and is the decision-maker of the entire Tang Empire. He has a more official attitude. He wants the emperor's majesty and everything must be done according to the rules.
This is not like being in the Cheng family or going to other old ministers, who talk about more about brotherhood and friendship.
At that time, he was more like a gentle elder and more humane.
Before Shi Lei was allowed to wait too long, Li Er met him in a side hall.
It seems that Li Er looks a little tired just after discussing something big. You should know that he always looks energetic and rarely shows fatigue.
"What gifts did you bring? You are worthy of yourselves and let the prince tell me that I need to come and see it?" Li Er asked with a smile at Shi Lei.
Being able to take some time out of your busy schedule and look at the so-called gifts Shi Lei brought, it can be seen that he is actually quite concerned about these things.
"It was all the local specialties brought by the boy from Yazhou. I never gave him any of them, and I always felt sorry for him.
Today I have specially selected a few more things that are quite decent, and I will send them to Your Majesty.
I dared to let Your Majesty see you, mainly because the boy has a few interesting gifts, and I want to show you to see you personally, and let Your Majesty see you."
Shi Lei also said with a smile. Seeing that hippie face looked not that nervous.
"Oh? I'm really a little curious. What makes you feel confident and think I have never seen it before?" Li Er raised an eyebrow.
"First of all, this is what I agreed with Your Majesty last time, and I want to show my ability to train eagles." Shi Lei smiled and patted Huang Tian on his shoulder.
"Let's go outside and take a look." Li Er waved his hand and walked to a huge courtyard first.
The two carts of gifts Shi Lei brought were all here. Li Er glanced at the antelope and the carriage, and nodded with satisfaction.
Is this kid Shi Lei still willing to do it? It seems that you can still look forward to his performance today.
"Boy, this rock eagle can not only hunt, but also track the enemy. I think your Majesty has seen these things, so you will no longer be ugly.
In addition, I, the Rock Eagle, can also send letters to people. Your Majesty might as well arrange a guard and let's try it out." Shi Lei said confidently.
Soon a guard was selected. After wandering around Huangtian, the guard ran out and disappeared in a while.
The territory of this imperial city is definitely big enough. I wish I could ride a horse and run for a day before I could make a rough turn. I can't guarantee that I can reach every corner. Such a guard definitely has some places to run.
After waiting for a while, Shi Lei asked someone to take the pen and ink, write down the word "So quickly", and stuff it into the casing on Huang Tian's claws. Then he waved his hand vigorously and let it go.
It didn't take long to use Huang Tian completed the task and flew back to Shi Lei's shoulder with the empty casing.
And the poor guard, after a while, ran back in anger and handed over the two words written by Shi Lei.
This simple demonstration is over.
"Well, I admit that your ability to train eagles is pretty good. From this point of view, you don't know how to kill enemies on the battlefield. At least the function of pursuing enemy tracks and fast messaging is pretty good.
As long as you can be as good as today's demonstration, you can choose to be the vanguard of this deputy, even if you don't do anything else, it will be worthy of your vanguard title."
Li Er affirmed Shi Lei's performance, but he had to beat him up a few words.
"Is this the only one?" Li Er glanced at Shi Lei and asked inadvertently.
"Of course not, these are just appetizers. The boy found a very rare bug in an unknown forest in Yazhou. I called it a bomb beetle."
As Shi Lei said, he took out a modified fart beetle and slowly moved away from Li Er.
"This kind of insect looks inconspicuous, but there are few animals in the forest. They dare to provoke it because it has the ability to scare people.
Your Majesty, please see, it can spray flames at which direction it feels threatened."
Shi Lei used chopsticks to pick up the hind legs of the explosive beetle, and sure enough, a bright flame sprayed towards that direction.
The eunuchs were heard around the eunuchs, and the guards were slightly panicked, wanting to get close to Li Er and protect his safety.
However, An Yuanshou waved his hand, and the guards stood in their respective positions again, but their eyes were closely watching Shi Lei's every move.
As long as Shi Lei slightly threatens Li Er, he will be treated on the spot by a corpse.
An Yuanshou had seen this thing for a long time and reported it to Li Er, so both of them were very calm now.
"If it were just like this, this bug would definitely not be worthy of the name of the explosive bomb beetle, so in fact, it can still explode."
After Shi Lei finished speaking, he pinched the beetle's body hard, then suddenly turned to the sky and threw it out.
Just show the magic of this insect. Shi Lei had no intention of exposing the secret that he could control animals.
A blazing flame burst out in the sky, successfully attracting the attention of everyone present.
Even Li Er, who had always been calm, couldn't help but look over in surprise.
"This is the real reason why it is called a bomb beetle!" Shi Lei clasped his fists at Li Eryi and bowed.
"However, this is not all that you have shown to Your Majesty today." Shi Lei said in a deep voice with a calm smile.
"Oh? What other good things do you have? Why not take them out and take them out and take a look." Li Er's interest was successfully picked up.
"I don't know how this kind of thing was created, but it was also a magical liquid that the boy accidentally discovered in the depths of the jungle.
It has many interesting functions, please allow the boy to show it to His Majesty one by one."
As Shi Lei said, he carefully took out a small glass bottle of gold-eating ant from the carriage.
"Please take an animal's corpse, it doesn't have to be too big." After Shi Lei finished speaking, Li Er waved his hand casually, and naturally an eunuch ran to do it.
Soon a hare that had just died was brought over. Shi Lei signaled to the other party and threw the rabbit on the ground to keep everyone away.
Then he carefully opened the lid of the glass bottle and evenly spread the formic acid from the whole bottle on the rabbit's corpse.
Flashes of "hissing" sounds, accompanied by a sensation of unpleasant blue smoke, rose together.
The poor hare gradually disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye and slowly melted away until it turned into a pool, and no one knew what it was.
The people present shuddered in their hearts, and a chilling feeling shaved in their hearts.
There were several guards in a well-equipped armor and stood in front of Li Er without hesitation, without hiding his vigilance.
"If it's just like this, this thing is just a fierce thing full of viciousness. But in fact, this thing has a useful feature."
Shi Lei seemed not to see the tense guards, and took out another explosive beetle on his own and gently sprayed the remaining formic acid.
With a "coaxing", a flame emerged and burned in the hero until there was only a blackened area on the ground, and nothing else was left.
"So that unlucky housekeeper disappeared like this." Li Er looked at the scene in front of him with interest and said softly.
