Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

"what?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Shen opened his mouth in surprise, not understanding why his father said that.

"Father, why do you say that? Even if I had the courage, I would not dare to have any improper thoughts.

Aye dotes on me so much, he treats me like his own son... No, he treats me like... um... like..."

Li Shen became a little incoherent. He was only twenty years old and had not lived enough.

But you can't reincarnate just because of a false accusation. You don't know where you will be in your next life.

It is still unclear whether I can have such a good life, with financial freedom, no worries about food and clothing, a wealthy status, and six or seven wives.

This kind of life is already at the ceiling level.

Seeing the frightened Li Shen, Li Shimin smiled, thinking that his son still valued his life so much.

This is very good. If you know how to cherish your life, you will know what you can do and what you cannot do.

He pointed outside the window and asked Li Shen to look for himself.

Li Shen leaned on the window and looked to the side, only to see that Li Shen's one hundred personal guards had already caught up.

Li Shen frowned and looked for a long time, but he didn't understand what his father asked him to look at. There were only a hundred of them, and there was no one behind them.

"Aye, what are you looking at?"

In the end, he could only turn around and look at Li Shimin.

"Is this your personal guard?"

Li Shimin pointed and asked.

"Yeah, why? Hasn't Aye seen it before?"

Li Shen was a little confused.

"So what are they wearing?"

Li Shimin did not show any sign of fear; on the contrary, his eyes were shining.

One hundred personal guards, all riding Dayuan horses, all of them were of strong build, and all of them wore dark chain mail that glowed dark red in the sunlight.

Looking at the guards on horseback, they are also covered in full armor and wearing helmets and masks just like the horses.

A lance was hung on one side of the horse and a long sword was hung on the other side. There were two crossbows on the waist and a longbow on the back.

The entire team exuded a blood-red murderous aura in the sunlight.

Anyone who sees it knows that this is an elite force.

"Um... Um, Aye, isn't Aye going to go out of the city with us today?

So they were required to be fully armed and the defense level was raised to the highest level.

Normally, my defense level is only level 2 when I go out."

Li Shen explained that he deliberately emphasized that he did this entirely for Li Shimin's safety.

Demonstrate one's loyalty to the emperor.

"When did you change this equipment?"

Li Shimin didn't care about so many things. He just stared at the equipment of these people. They were armed to the teeth.

He was the emperor on horseback, and he even had the advantage of being well-equipped. How could the Tang Dynasty's cavalry of less than 10,000 people chase tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of northern barbarians?

Isn't it just that the knife in your hand is sharp enough and the armor on your body is hard enough?

The equipment of Prince Ji's personal guard is obviously good stuff, equipped with both long-range and close combat capabilities.

If he could equip his Black Armor Army, the royal family would have nothing to fear from rebellion.

Hearing Li Shimin's question, Li Shen thought about it carefully, but he couldn't remember it clearly.

After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Hmm...it seems like it was not long ago that I came back from Qinghai. I can't remember exactly.

It's all under the charge of Sima Xue Rengui in the mansion.

But I remember that the equipment that was taken off was sent to the palace.

Yes, that’s right, it was sent to the palace, and Li An accepted it.”

Li Shen clapped his hands, as if he had remembered something.

Li Shimin's face suddenly darkened and said, "Okay, give me all the equipment you don't want anymore."

What do you think I am? If you don't want it, how can I want it?

"You are truly my good son."

Li Shimin said this in a sarcastic tone.

Li Shen seemed not to have heard it and bowed quickly.

"Thank you for the compliment, Aye."

"Your equipment is great. Equip my Imperial Guards with it as well."

Seeing Li Shen pretending, Li Shimin spoke frankly.

"Equip the Imperial Guard?"

Li Shen's voice rose an octave.

"What? Can't I ask you for something? Are you going to ask me for money too?"

Li Shimin glared at Li Shen, and frightened him so much that he immediately became limp.

"No, Aye, this... this equipment is too much, there are more than 8,000 Yulin Guards.

Aye, you may not know that the equipment I made for my personal guards is made of a new material developed by the research institute.

I call it an alloy. It is harder than any steel on the market, yet much lighter than steel.

The production of such material is extremely rare.

And because the alloy is too rigid, it is very difficult to make weapons. It takes five days to forge a knife.

The horse lance also takes three days.

It took nearly a year to complete the full set of spare parts for these one hundred people.

It consumed a lot of manpower and material resources.

Aye said he wanted to equip the Yulin Guards, but it might take more than ten years to complete, unless the research institute makes a breakthrough in smelting technology. "

Li Shen told the truth, he had no other idea, he didn't even know what this material was called.

His research institute tried different mixtures of elements, and the results were all kinds of strange.

Li Shen knew one thing: many things were obtained because of failed experiments.

The key is to keep trying and experimenting, no matter what you get. What if it's useful?

You have to spend money anyway, so it doesn’t matter where you spend it.

The institute has produced a lot of good things over the years.

Li Shimin frowned. He believed that Li Shen would not dare to deceive him. Given Li Shen's character, if possible, he could replace the equipment of the entire guard camp.

Now only the guards have been replaced, which means that this item is indeed rare, but...

The emperor must have been itching to get something good when he saw it.

"Old Ten, don't you plan to give this good thing to your father as a gift?"

Hearing the word "father", Li Shen was obviously stunned. It was the first time he heard this word from Li Shimin's mouth.

I looked up at my old father with contempt in my heart. He was so tough that he couldn't do it anymore, so he started to play soft with me, right? Playing the family card.

Fortunately, Li Shen was well prepared and said respectfully:

"Aye, I have prepared it for you a long time ago, but it is currently being made and will probably be completed in early next year.

A full set of equipment, the same as that of the royal guards, a total of one hundred sets.

I will personally go to Aye when the time comes."

He had long guessed that his father would like this kind of thing. Since he had to give it to him both ways, he might as well give it to him on his own initiative to show his sincerity.

"Hahahaha, good, you are worthy of being my son. Although you have a bad temper and often get into trouble, I always tell the ministers that Prince Ji is the most filial.

No matter what happened, I was never disappointed.

I can't let you suffer a loss, I will pay you for this equipment, you tell me how much, I will have someone deliver it to you when I return to the palace."
