Seeing Li Zheng looking at him strangely, Li Ji avoided his eyes and said, "Boy, why are you watching me like this?"

Li Zheng sighed and said, "General, you have been following me for a long time."

Li Ji cleared his throat and said, "I will just go there."

"General, I am your deputy general, please tell me if you have any questions."

"Then I said that." Li Ji slapped the table and said, "Knife!"

"Knife?" Li Zheng asked curiously: "What kind of knife?"

Li Ji whispered: "Bao Dao."

"Bao Knife?"

Li Zheng took a deep breath, "I can't use a knife when I start," he said.

"You guy pretended to be stupid, right?"

"There is really no knife."

Li Ji leaned closer and whispered: "Yesterday, Cheng Yaojin, an old man, presented a treasure sword to His Majesty. It was extremely sharp. Even the current horizontal sword did not dare to compete with the new sword. It is said that this sword was created by you, Li Zheng."

Li Zheng nodded secretly.

Li Ji said again: "Where is the knife?"

"It's gone." Li Zheng spread his hands and said.

Li Ji's heart tightened and the soup almost spit out again, "What does it mean to be gone?"

Li Zheng said: "It's only one."

"A handful?"

Li Ji stomped his feet and said, "What a pity, why did he give such a good knife to Cheng Yaojin? How could this old man know the wonderful use of this knife? If he used this knife to change it to a Damo knife, the army would use this Damo knife to rush forward in the future and look down on his head."

"is that so?"

Li Ji nodded, "I remember I asked you when I first said you didn't understand wrought iron."

Li Zheng nodded, "I remember."

Li Ji asked again: "Since you said you could not wrought iron, how can you create such a magical weapon now?"

"This..." Li Zheng hesitated for a while and explained: "I didn't know before, and then I accidentally learned it."

"You can learn it in less than three months?"

"I learned it accidentally," Li Zheng nodded and explained.

Li Ji smiled coldly, "Are you pretending?"

"I didn't pretend, I really couldn't wrought iron before."

"Then tell me, I accidentally learned the method of forging your magical weapon."

"This may be a bit difficult." Li Zheng replied again after careful consideration.

"It is the time for the employed people in the court. If Li Zheng has any good skills, don't hide it. Don't forget that you are the deputy general of the Longwu Army."

Li Zheng hurriedly bowed and said, "I will remember the teachings of the general."

"Yes." Li Ji nodded and said again: "What good things are there next time..."

"I will definitely give it to our Longwu Army first." Li Zheng said immediately.

Li Ji nodded with satisfaction.

"Where is that knife?" Li Ji asked again.

"It's all about the sword, it depends on fate." Li Zheng sighed: "Since ancient times, the birth of magical weapons depends on fate."

"Is that true?" Li Ji said hesitantly: "I just don't want to create it."

"Okay, I've seen through it by the general." Li Zheng said.

"So what about the knife?"

"There is no iron material." Li Zheng said hesitantly, "It takes a lot of iron material to build such weapons, and it also requires good hematite. The general also knows that good iron material is hard to find."

Li Ji said: "Don't worry, there is iron in the army!"

After saying that, Li Ji stood up and said, "I'm going to the army now."

After Li Ji left, Li Tai came back.

Li Tai said anxiously: "Li Zheng, when will you build a few more new knives like that?"

Li Zheng sighed and said, "I can't make it."

“Why?”

"I don't want to make it."

“…”

Li Tai stomped his feet and said anxiously: "Li Zheng, if you make more new swords like this, your father will definitely reward you."

"Okay, I'm reluctant to give it a try."

"Very good!"

Li Tai nodded happily.

Li Tai is the prince, and Li Ji is also the general of Li Shimin.

Li Tai is a father-son relationship to Li Shimin, so he will naturally help his father.

Li Ji is loyal because of his loyalty. This time, loyalty is a label in this era.

More often than not, loyalty has become a principle for ministers to rule the king.

As a subject, you must be absolutely loyal to the emperor.

Li Zheng doesn't like such loyalty very much. To be honest, loyalty is just an adjective, not a criterion.

At present, Li Zheng felt that he was not planning to be loyal to Li Shimin.

He could not raise his loyalty to Li Shimin at all. From the bottom of his heart, Li Zheng was very repulsive of such loyalty.

There is no so-called loyalty, there is only eternal benefit.

On the premise of obeying people, one needs to get enough benefits.

The strength to challenge the emperor is not enough.

At least not enough now.

In the next few days, Li Zheng was busy at the farm and renovated the pigpen in the farm and was building a drainage project.

There are often puddles in the farm, and drainage measures are needed. If water accumulation occurs frequently in the farm, bacteria will easily grow.

Li Ji brought more than 10,000 kilograms of iron material, and all of them were temporarily stored.

Five days have passed, and Li Zheng has never been to the blacksmith shop at all. Without Li Zheng's instructions on the third brothers, they would not create new swords. Now they are focusing on the structure of the tricycle with Yan Liben.

Li Shimin listened to Wang Ding's report and asked: "According to what you said, Li Zheng didn't take my words to heart at all, right?"

Wang Ding replied in a low voice: "Maybe Li Zheng is too busy."

"What can he do!" Li Shimin said angrily: "He is resisting the order."

Wang Ding said again: "Maybe the county marquis has some difficulties."

Li Shimin lost the mind to review the memorials and looked at the blue sky outside and pondered.

Half a month has passed, and the drainage channel of the farm has been built.

Li Zheng asked someone to check the roof again to prevent water leakage when it rains.

The big tiger caught a few wild pheasants, and Li Zheng set up a fire to bake it and eat it.

Three wild pheasants were worn with bamboo poles and hung on the fire rack. They were carefully roasted and heated evenly.

Wait until it's 50% cooked and sprinkle with some chili powder and some sauce.

“Are you familiar?”

"Not yet." Li Zheng was busy applying sauce. When he heard the voice of the words, he thought it was not Dahu's voice, nor did it look like Li Ji's voice.

Looking back mechanically, he looked like a dark face Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Zheng. This kid was still a little surprised, pretending to be confused when he understood.

Li Shimin said again: "Does you really have to put the knife on your neck to make you obediently create a new knife?"

Li Zheng laughed dryly and said, "Have Your Majesty eaten?"

"No!" Li Shimin said with a bad face.

Li Zheng pulled off a chicken wing and said, "The chicken wings should be cooked and eaten."
