Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

"That's right, brother Xiao is really smart." Li Tai smiled slightly.

"He doesn't have a younger brother who is a general?"

"Hehe, brother Xiao is worrying too much."

While the two were chatting, a person walked over.

"Fourth brother." Li Ke walked slowly with a refined smile, and then looked at Li Xiao, "Brother Xiao, it is rumored that you are extremely intelligent and eloquent. I saw you today, and it is true."

"Third brother." Li Xiao nodded with a smile.

"My third son, you will come to the back garden too. This is really the first time I've seen you." Li Tai said with some surprise.

"Don't you want to get to know brother Xiao?" Li Ke came to the gazebo and sat down.

After a pause, he said to Li Xiao: "Brother Xiao said that sentence just now, dead wood can also be in spring again, and dead wood can also be carved with skillful hands, which can be described as brilliant, but I have searched for a long time, but I can't find where this sentence came from. Brother Xiao, please clear up your doubts."

"Uh, just say it casually, you don't have to take it seriously." Li Xiao was stunned, and then said perfunctorily.

If you can find it, there will be ghosts.

These words come from poems in the Qing Dynasty, and no one in this world knows except him.

However, Li Ke said in shock: "Just saying it casually is a good sentence through the ages. Brother Xiao not only has a deep understanding of the world, but is also good at composing poems. The third brother is ashamed of himself."

"It's almost time, let's go back, Master is coming soon." Li Tai said, looking at the sky.

Li Xiao and Li Tai got up and left immediately, while Li Ke followed behind, his eyes sparkling, and he kept muttering: "Dead wood can also be carved with skillful hands...Dead wood can also be carved with skillful hands..."

……

Not long after returning to the desk and sitting down, Li Xiao saw another great Confucian.

Dressed in a very simple way, with white hair and a childlike face, kind and vicissitudes, he seems to be over 70 years old.

Although his stature is stooped, his eyes are piercing.

Kong Yingda also looked at Li Xiao and nodded slightly, but didn't say any more nonsense, just picked up the books and started teaching.

In this way, every time Kong Yingda reads a sentence, he will ask questions to the people below, and then explain it.

I don't know how long it has passed, Kong Yingda read again: "Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, Li Xiao, what does this mean?"

Hearing his own name, Li Xiao also stood up and said, "Master, things flock together and people form groups. No matter good or bad, once you get in touch for a long time, you will definitely be affected."

"Yes, although it is a bit one-sided, but this principle, everything in the world follows this principle." Kong Yingda smiled and nodded.

"Master, the students don't think so." Li Xiao thought for a while and said.

"Why?"

"There are green lotuses in the world, which come out of the mud but are not stained, and the clear ripples are not demonic, but they don't follow this principle."

Hearing this, Kong Yingda looked at Li Xiao in surprise, then fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he raised his head: "Li Xiao, where did this sentence come from? Why has the old man never seen it before?"

"Nonsense, Master thinks this is reasonable?"

"What you said is very reasonable, the old man is too arbitrary."

Kong Yingda looked surprised, and continued: "Unexpectedly, Mr. Xiao, who is only five years old, has a lot of knowledge, and he is really a talent to be made."

At this time, the others, watching this scene, were all dumbfounded.

Old Master Confucius actually admitted his own shortcomings to their five-year-old brother!

Chapter 24: The Amazingly Powerful God Arm Crossbow!

"The master is absurd. What the students say is just fallacy and cannot be put on the stage. On the contrary, the master is magnanimous and open-minded, which makes the students admire."

Li Xiao admired him from the bottom of his heart.

Kong Ying Dada was originally a master in the literary world, why should he humble himself to a child like him, such a mind is really rare.

This is completely different from that Lu Deming's character.

In the following classes, Li Xiao kept to himself and stopped showing off.

What he did before was to test whether Kong Yingda and Lu Deming wore the same pair of pants, but now it seems that Lu Deming has a personal problem.

Today's study is not over until it is time to eat at noon.

……

After Li Xiao finished his meal, he returned to his yard. At this time, Li Junxian also brought the parts of the divine arm crossbow.

"My lord, the workmanship of this crossbow is very wonderful. It is indeed a high-quality product, but the strings of this crossbow are made of high-quality materials, and the requirements for arm strength are not low. You may not be able to use it, my lord."

Li Junxian couldn't help saying as he watched Li Xiaozheng arranging a pile of parts.

"That's not what I'm worried about..." Li Xiao said while assembling the God Arm Crossbow.

With his divine power, there is probably no bowstring in the world that he cannot pull.

It's just that the size of the god arm crossbow is not big, but it is not too small compared to his body, so it is inconvenient to carry.

But fortunately, after Li Xiao finished assembling, he found that the God Arm Crossbow had a function of shrinking and folding.

After folding, it is equivalent to a wooden stick with the thickness of a normal human arm.

Li Xiao played with the folded crossbow, quite delighted.

And Li Junxian was surprised when he saw this scene.

"Can it be folded? I've never seen such a delicate crossbow before. It's amazing!"

"Just magic is not enough, let's try the power next."

Li Xiao took off the wooden stick, dismantled the mechanism of the god arm crossbow three or two times, and turned into attack mode.

Then the two came to the yard.

"Uncle Li, throw a piece of wood."

Li Xiao took the crossbow arrow and prepared to load the god arm crossbow.

The crossbow bolts are also special crossbow bolts customized according to the drawings, and only a hundred of them have been made so far.

Li Junxian didn't go to get the wood on the ground, but shook his head and said: "Young master, you can't pull this crossbowstring, let me load it!"

However, just as he finished speaking, Li Xiao casually stretched the crossbow strings and fixed them on the crossbow arm.

In fact, there are movable pulleys to assist in pulling the strings, which can save a lot of effort.

It's just that Li Xiao thinks the speed is too slow. If every second counts in battle, this pulley is superfluous for him.

Seeing this scene, Li Junxian's expression froze.

When he got the parts before, he tried it himself. This crossbow string is more laborious than ordinary strong bows.

Originally, he thought that Li Xiao could not pull it at all, but he never expected that in less than one breath, Li Xiao would finish loading.

what on earth is it?

"Young Master Xiao, did you pull the string with your hands just now?" Li Junxian swallowed, and asked in disbelief.

"Why don't you still use your feet?"

Li Xiao rolled his eyes.

"No, the subordinates are curious, how did the young master do it? Is there any mechanism in it?"

"Stop talking nonsense, try your power."

Li Xiao was too lazy to say much, and urged him impatiently.

"Okay, son!"

Although Li Junxian was still puzzled, it was not easy to continue asking.

Then, he picked up the wood on the ground and threw it into the sky.

Li Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the rising log, and when the log was in the air, he raised the crossbow in his hand.

Pull the trigger.

"call out!"

A sharp arrow pierced through the air.

"Crack!"

The sharp arrow hit the target in an instant, and the powerful impact directly tore the wood, and continued to fly out, disappearing into the sky.

"This... has such power!"

Li Junxian was very surprised at the moment.

Even though he had fully estimated the power of the God Arm Crossbow, he still underestimated it.

Ordinary crossbows generally hit wood, and only three points into the wood.

A stronger ordnance crossbow can penetrate, but it will still get stuck in it.

But this divine arm crossbow actually tore through the wood directly.

This power is much stronger than the armored crossbow.

"My lord! Did you design this crossbow yourself?"

Li Junxian asked in a serious voice with a serious face at the moment.

Because he knows the value of this god arm crossbow too well, if it is mass-produced, the combat power of the Tang army may be greatly improved.

"Uncle Li, will you tell my father about the divine arm crossbow?"

Li Xiao watched the wood debris fall freely, and said expressionlessly.

Li Junxian's expression froze when he heard the words, and immediately knelt down on one knee: "This subordinate only listens to the young master's orders!"

"Hehe, Uncle Li please hurry up, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously, these sharp weapons are useful to my Tang Dynasty, I will naturally contribute them, but not now."

Li Xiao smiled and helped Li Junxian up.

"It's good for you to be the master, you don't need to explain to your subordinates."

After Li Junxian finished speaking, he looked at the sky and suddenly asked in doubt: "I don't know the range of this crossbow, it won't hurt people, right?"

"Hehe, how could it be such a coincidence?"

Li Xiao smiled, and then put away the crossbow.

……

Not far from the study hall, there is a bamboo forest.

In the lush bamboo forest, a bluestone path leads to two bamboo houses.

This is the residence of the two great Confucian scholars Lu Deming and Kong Ying Dada in the Qin Palace.

At this time, Lu Deming was sitting in front of the window, holding an ancient book and reading carefully, while eating cakes.

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking through the air.

"call out!"

A sharp arrow came from the sky, pierced the bamboo roof in an instant, and continued to descend.

"Pfft!"

The crossbow arrow hit Lu Deming's buttocks, and blood sprayed instantly.

Lu Deming was shocked, his pupils shrank instantly, and the book slipped to the ground.

He tremblingly stretched out his hand to reach behind him.

The hand was warm and moist, and I took it back to have a look.

Shocking blood.

"There are assassins!"

Lu Deming yelled tremblingly with a frightened expression on his face, then tilted his head and fell unconscious.
