Hearing this, Li Shimin's blood pressure suddenly rose. He covered his chest with one hand and pointed at Qin Ming with the other:
"Everything is right in front of you, but you still dare to cry out for injustice?"
Fang Xuanling, who had been silent all this time, saw that the situation was getting out of control, so she couldn't help but get up and move to Qin Ming's side, and said earnestly:
"My dear nephew, you are confused!"
"Facts speak louder than words. My dear nephew, you are usually so smart. Why are you so confused today?"
As she spoke, Fang Xuanling moved closer to Qin Ming, pulled Qin Ming's sleeves, and said in a low voice:
"Listen to your uncle's words and admit your mistake to Your Majesty honestly. I will help you and this matter will be over!"
After speaking, Fang Xuanling turned her back to Li Shimin and blinked at Qin Ming.
Qin Ming felt warm in his heart when he saw Fang Xuanling's anxious look. But then a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he said with a grimace:
"Uncle Fang, don't you believe my nephew? This carriage really costs 800 coins!"
"My nephew has racked his brains and energy in order to make this carriage the best in the world!"
Fang Xuanling sighed helplessly after hearing this!
[What’s wrong with this kid today? Why is my brain suddenly not working? 】
Li Shimin, who was sitting on the sofa, initially just wanted to take this opportunity to vent his frustrations caused by this carriage in recent days. He didn't want to do anything to Qin Ming, who had just accomplished a remarkable feat.
But as Qin Ming made quibbles again and again, Li Shimin's temper also rose!
He snorted coldly and said with a smile:
"Huh! What a rack of brains and energy!"
"Then you should tell me, why is this carriage worth eight hundred coins? If you can't convince me, let's see how I deal with you!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming glanced at Li Shimin who was angrily not far away. Then he shook his head with a wry smile, sighed and said:
"Hey...Your Majesty, you have really wronged me!"
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said displeasedly:
"Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly."
Seeing that the heat was almost done, Qin Ming raised his head and looked at Li Shimin with a half-smile but said:
"Your Majesty, since you still don't believe that this carriage is worth eight hundred coins, how about we make a bet?"
Li Shimin, who was still angry, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but soon said confidently:
"What bet?"
Qin Ming grinned when he heard this.
[You have taken the bait, and all the hard work in the past few days has been in vain! 】
"If this carriage is not worth eight hundred coins, my nephew is willing to give the palace twenty four-wheeled carriages."
Li Shimin nodded when he heard this and said:
"The specifications of the carriage must be the same as the King of Yue's carriage."
Qin Ming smiled and nodded:
"No problem! But if my nephew can prove the value of this carriage, then Your Majesty needs to promise me to give him a copy of all the medical books in the palace."
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Thinking of the Hejian County Prince's Mansion that the Qin Mansion was renovating, he suddenly felt enlightened!
At the same time, he had a vague feeling that he had been cheated.
But the arrow had to be fired when it was on the string, so he raised his eyebrows and said:
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Qin Ming smiled and nodded, then opened the curtain and glanced out the window, his eyes scanning around the strong soldiers around him.
Then he said to Li Shimin:
"Your Majesty, please ask the driver to stop the carriage. I will show you the value of this carriage now."
Li Shimin nodded, stretched out his hand and pulled the hemp rope on the car wall!
As Li Shimin pulled the hemp rope, Jin Wuwei, who was sitting at the door of the carriage, quickly stood up, opened the door, and bowed to the man inside:
"His Majesty."
Li Shimin waved his hand and said:
"parking."
"Here."
As Li Shimin's carriage stopped, the carriages of Li Yuan and others also stopped one after another.
On the carriage, Li Shimin crossed his hands on his chest. The old god looked at Qin Ming and said:
"The carriage has stopped, now it's your turn to prove it."
Qin Ming smiled and nodded, then stood up and walked to the window opposite the sofa.
Qin Ming reached out and grabbed it. There was a carved bulge on the wall of the car. He turned his head and smiled at Li Shimin:
"Your Majesty, please see, this is a mechanism. As long as you gently pull the button here, the windows in the carriage will be sealed by the iron plate hidden in the wall of the carriage."
After saying that, as Qin Ming pulled the switch, the carriage suddenly became dark.
Li Shimin looked at this scene with his eyes wide open, his eyes full of disbelief!
He really didn't know that this carriage had such a sophisticated mechanism.
While Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling were stunned, Qin Ming walked to another car window, then looked at Li Shimin and said:
"Please also ask Your Majesty and the Prime Minister to get off the carriage first. To prove the value of this carriage, we need to open all the four windows in the carriage."
Li Shimin glanced at the heavy iron plate on the window and had already vaguely guessed the value of this carriage.
However, he still followed Qin Ming's wishes and took Fang Xuanling out of the carriage.
As soon as Li Shimin got off the carriage, Queen Changsun came up with Princess Changle.
"Your Majesty, why did you stop? Is the carriage broken down? Why didn't you see Qin Ming's child?"
Li Shimin shook his head, glanced at Li Yuan and his party behind Empress Changsun, and said:
"The carriage is not broken. The boy is in the carriage. He will be down in a moment."
After speaking, Li Shimin took Empress Changsun's hand and stood side by side with her. He looked at the dark carriage in front of him with a somewhat solemn expression.
A few moments
Qin Ming closed the door and jumped out of the carriage.
Upon seeing this, Yang Zijun hurriedly ran to Qin Ming, looked Qin Ming up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was fine.
Then she gave Qin Ming a blessing.
"Chief of the mountain."
Qin Ming smiled slightly and said:
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
After speaking, Qin Ming walked to Li Shimin, pointed to a group of soldiers behind Li Shimin, and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, I saw that these soldiers are equipped with arrows on their horses. If Your Majesty still feels that this carriage is not worth 800 arrows, why not let them release a few rounds of arrows at this carriage?"
After hearing this, Li Shimin hesitated for a moment and then made a decision!
Although he already had a rough guess about how small the interior space of the carriage was, he still wanted to see with his own eyes how sturdy the carriage was!
So Li Shimin turned around and faced Cao Chong, the general of the Jinwu Guard, and said:
"Cao Chong, you command them to put on their bows and arrows and fire three volleys at the carriage."
When Cao Chong heard this, he cupped his hands and said:
"The last general takes orders."
A few moments
Twenty-odd Jinwu guards led by Cao Chong, armed with strong bows and quivers on their backs, surrounded the carriage.
Then, under Cao Chong's order, the group set up their bows and arrows.
Li Shimin looked at this scene, nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand and said:
"Fire the arrow!"
That posture was as if he regarded the dark carriage as his life and death enemy.
Following Li Shimin's order, more than twenty arrows rained down on the carriage.
The iron arrows hit the carriage like lightning. Everyone did not hear the bang of the arrow hitting the wood. Instead, they heard the clang of metal hitting each other.
Not only that, every arrow just slightly touched the wall of the carriage and was immediately bounced off. Not a single arrow was inserted into the carriage.
When the three rounds of volleys were completed, both Li Shimin and all the soldiers were stunned on the spot.
My eyes almost popped out of my head!
