I looked down at the sand under my feet, and then looked at the bones, which looked a little old.

All these golds were moved away? If someone stole all the golds, it would be impossible to take them all away.

Because there are too many golds, no one in Xizhou City has left the city.

Recently, it is the wind season again, and no one will think of leaving at this time.

There is no bulk goods left the city.

No matter what I think, even if these golds are moved away, they cannot escape the eyes of the Jingyang Guards.

Then where did all this gold go?

Li Ke walked out of the vault to meet the old man who took him to see the vault.

"Where has the gold gone?" Li Ke asked.

"The gold is gone?" The old man was also a little surprised, but he was just surprised for a while and smiled again, "Don't worry, General, they will come back in a few days."

"Will you come back?"

"Yes." The old man nodded and said, "Yes, every time during the wind season, these golds will disappear for a while and then come back."

It was very evil to hear this old man say.

Li Ke returned to the city and discussed with Wang Xuance.

Wang Xuance said: "So, those golds seem to have disappeared out of thin air?"

Li Ke nodded.

Wang Xuance took a deep breath, "This Xizhou City is so evil. I don't want to stay here anymore. Recently, there have been several waves of big cannibals, and they all took a look from afar and left."

In the Western Regions late at night, there are calls whenever the strong wind blows.

It sounds very terrible.

Chang'an.

Li Shimin is in a good mood recently and received a war report from Li Ke two days ago.

Li Ke took down Xizhou City in the Western Regions with a thousand members of the guard team.

Xizhou City is an important road of the Western Regions Commercial Road. In the past two years, Songtsen Gampo has been working hard for Xizhou City.

Still haven't obtained Xizhou City.

Unexpectedly, Li Ke and a thousand people took down this Xizhou City.

Walking in the village in Jingyang, Wang Ding took Li Shimin to find Li Zheng outside the laboratory.

Li Zheng put a big lock on the laboratory.

Li Yifu glanced at Li Shimin who came from afar and said, "Chang'an Order, Your Descend."

After confirming that the laboratory lock is fine, Li Zheng looked at Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Li Shimin looked at the laboratory and said, "Why did you lock this room?"

Li Zheng also looked back at the laboratory behind him and explained: "It will be useless for a long time in the future, and he doesn't plan to continue to do other things."

He took a more curious look, and Li Shimin said, "Can I go in and take a look?"

Li Zheng hesitated for a while and said, "Not yet."

"Well." Li Shimin didn't care and said again: "I have received the war report from the Western Regions, and you have received it too?"

Li Zheng nodded, "The Western Regions are Feng Ji now. His Highness the King of Shu needs a place to settle down. Xizhou is indeed a good place."

After glanced at Li Shimin's face, Li Yifu said: "Chang'an Order, I will go to clean up the cotton with Shangguan Yi."

Li Zheng nodded: "You go and do it first."

After Li Yifu left, Li Shimin said: "The Shangguan Yi he just mentioned just now is your newly appointed magistrate of Jingyang County?"

"I've been short of staff recently, especially those who are good at scheduling and overall arrangements."

"The court also lacks people."

He took Li Shimin to the riverside in Jingyang, and the two sat opposite each other.

Wang Ding stood not far away and looked around.

Li Shimin said, "I heard you are going to send some more people to Tubo."

Li Zheng bowed and said, "Your Majesty's news is so well-informed."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "So many people in Jingyang know about it."

It is indeed not a secret to sending people to Tubo again.

Many people in Jingyang know about this.

Daniu and Li Zhi came with a mud stove and tea set.

The small mud stove poured the river water, and then the mud stove made the fire and boiled tea.

The tea is boiled and the tea leaves are placed aside.

Some pastries are also placed on the table.

Li Zheng handed Li Shimin a persimmon cake and said, "Your Majesty, this is our newly made persimmon cake in Jingyang. Your Majesty will try it."

Li Shimin took a bite of the persimmon cake and said, "Soft, glutinous, sweet, good."

Li Zheng also ate and said, "It's just a bit too sweet."

Looking at Wang Ding standing beside him, Li Zheng said, "Don't you want to try it?"

Wang Ding waved his hand and said, "I have not had very good teeth lately and I dare not eat sweets."

The small mud stove was burning water, and Daniu and Li Zhi sat quietly aside.

Li Shimin whispered: "I plan to send some people to Tubo during this period."

"send troops?"

"No." Li Shimin shook his head and said, "I just sent someone to Tubo to see the current situation in Tubo. Li Ke occupied Xizhou City. I believe that when the Western Regions have passed the Fengshen, Li Ke may not be able to defend Xizhou."

Xizhou is a very critical place on the Silk Road.

Since the Han Dynasty, the Silk Road has been crucial, and it has controlled this Silk Road and also strengthened the Central Plains' control over the Western Regions.

In addition, the Great Food has now begun the Eastern Expedition.

The Western Regions are the largest buffer zone in the Central Plains and the West.

If there is any loss in the Western Regions, the West can cross the Western Regions and rush straight to the Central Plains.

Fortunately, the environment in the Western Regions is very bad, and it is difficult to lead the army all the way across the Western Regions.

Li Shimin said again: "I plan to send thousands of people to Tubo. This matter will not be passed by the resolution of the court, but I will arrange people to go to Tubo to investigate the situation."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Li Zheng bowed and said.

"Do you think my approach is very wise?"

"Your Majesty is wise in everything you do."

Li Shimin smiled, "You sent someone to Tubo to support Li Ke?"

"It also means that."

After saying that, Li Zheng took out a thin and long bamboo tube and put it in front of Li Shimin.

"What's this?"

Li Shimin looked at the bamboo tube in front of him and did not pick it up, but looked a little curious.

Li Zheng picked up the bamboo tube and said, pulling it out of the bamboo tube with one pull, then pulling it out a length.

"This bamboo tube is connected together by four-section bamboo tubes. When stored, several sections can be put away for easy storage." Li Zheng explained and then put the telescope in front of him and looked into the distance. "I call this thing a telescope. It would be better to use it to see things in the distance."

"Yeah?"

Li Zheng put the telescope in front of Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, try it?"

Li Shimin picked up this telescope and put it in front of him in the way Li Zheng looked at things before, looking into the distance, "Hmm? Why do you think this thing is so small?"

Li Zheng cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, you are wrong."

"Is that true?" Li Shimin turned the telescope in his hand and looked into the distance. This time, he saw that things were getting closer.

"The lenses are not very transparent, and they are not easy to remove impurities when firing. There are a lot of white spots when used, and the visual distance is not very far, so it is good to use them."
