Chapter 428

Prince Anqin's residence is still as quiet as usual, but this silence seems to be completely different from the past. There is a kind of tension and desolation in the air.

It was already dark, and the lanterns under the eaves had already been lit. The old housekeeper stood at the door of the study with his head down. Not far from him stood two rows of people with guns.

The housekeeper looked at the two lines of soldiers, and then looked at the people standing in the yard under the eaves outside. Looking back at the closed study door, he was a little worried and anxious at the bottom of his eyes.

Prince an was still wearing a plain long shirt. The weather was getting hot, and his clothes were changed into thin silk clothes. Looking only at the appearance, no one would think that this man was once an emperor, but more like the scholarly door "Your Majesty". The middle-aged man finally couldn't help but cry in a deep voice.

Prince an gave a slight pause, raised his head and threw the pen into the nearby pen wash

Slowly put down his rolled up sleeves and said faintly, "general Zeng, your majesty is in the palace. You have found the wrong person." the middle-aged man is not someone else, but general Zeng Rong, the chief of the sixth group army, who just touched the wall in Fu Dashao's place not long ago.

Zeng Rong lowered his eyes to cover his contempt, but his words were impassioned, "we only recognize you as the real emperor of Anxia. We are willing to take the lead to clear up the evil for your majesty and help your majesty re ascend the throne."

Prince an chuckled. He didn't seem to care about his generous speech. He shook his head and said, "since that's the case, I had made way back then. The emperor in the palace is a righteous emperor. Why don't you listen?"

Zeng Rong was stunned by choking, and soon said, "today is weak and incompetent, but a puppet. How can you compare with your Majesty's culture and military strategy? Is your majesty willing to let Xiao be manipulated by the cabinet? Be a clay Buddha in the temple? Has your majesty never thought of helping the country and restoring the old glory of Xiao's royal family?"

Prince an sat down and looked at the man in front of him and sighed, "general Zeng, I don't understand."

Zeng Rong was stunned, "what?"

Prince an said, "I understand if someone in the Xiao family wants to help the royal family, but it is obviously more favorable for you now. Why... You are more active than the Xiao family?"

Zeng Rong said, "we used to be an Xia's old ministers. Naturally, we have to serve the emperor and be loyal to your majesty. We have endured humiliation and shouldered heavy burdens these years. Please use your Majesty's example."

Prince an shook his head and smiled genially. "You know I don't believe this."

"..." Zeng Rong was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

Although he was one of the most powerful generals in the capital, Zeng Rong had no real contact with Prince an before. At most, he only took a close look when he was in the Zen position, but he was not a big man at that time. Naturally, it was impossible to approach the conversation.

Originally, I thought Prince an was a weak and incompetent person, so I just announced his abdication when I couldn't stand a mess. I didn't expect that Prince an, who lives in a secluded house, could speak so well after so many years.

Prince an looked at him with some distant eyes, "In fact, you don't care whether the Xiao family has real power or not. What you care about is that... The power of Anxia is not in your own hands. According to the current situation and the distribution of local strength, the influence of all parties in Anxia will be further reduced in no more than ten years. In the end, most of them will be... The battle between the Fu Long family. The Song family may be in an corner or become the weight to decide the victory or defeat. It's up to you where Anxia will go in the end You have to master it. "

Zeng Rong took a deep breath and said, "since your majesty understands, don't you worry about how the Fu Long family will be superior to the Xiao family in the future?"

Prince an thought for a moment and said, "I can still trust Fu Zheng and long Xiao. I've seen both young marshals of the Fu family and the long family, and I'm not worried."

This is obviously soft and hard, and Zeng Rong is no longer polite, "but the one in the palace has promised to cooperate with us."

Prince an lowered his eyes and said with a smile, "Prince an can be at ease with the current situation. How do you know that others will be willing? Do you think he would really appreciate you when you gave the throne to the one in the palace? You did give him a throne, but it's a pity that the throne is useless."

King Anqin said, "in that case, what else do you come to me for? You can see that I'm just an ordinary person without power and power."

Zeng Rong said, "if we can, we naturally prefer to cooperate with your majesty, but it doesn't matter if you really don't want to cooperate. Please... Hand over the key to the Royal treasure house and the Royal Guard order."

King an said, "you've found the wrong person."

Zeng Rong sneered, "Your Majesty thinks you can perfunctory us with such words?"

Prince an said, "I don't know where you heard the rumor. All the Royal property is stored in the private Treasury in the palace. What I took away when I left the palace was only my own private property when I was the prince. As for the forbidden guards... Haven't the forbidden guards been dissolved and reorganized long ago? This is still the thing after I left the palace, and the original token was left in the palace."

Zeng Rong's face flashed a fierce look, "we treat your majesty with courtesy. Your majesty had better not test my patience."

Prince an leaned against the back of his chair, closed his eyes and ignored him. He looked as if he would listen to him.

Zeng Rong clenched his teeth and wanted to come forward, but he only moved one step and stopped abruptly. After staring at Prince an for a long time, he turned and pushed the door out with a sneer.

"Sir?" the housekeeper outside the door called carefully.

Prince an said lightly, "I'm fine. I don't have to come in. I want to stay alone for a while."

The housekeeper was relieved, "yes."

Prince an sat in his study, staring at the lamp on the table and thinking about something. Outside, Zeng Rong was angry and shouted to stop the troops. Soon there was a sound of footsteps outside. Obviously, those who blocked the door retreated with Zeng Rong.

But Prince an knew in his heart that although the people in the palace had left, there would be no fewer people outside.

Since he refused to cooperate, those people would never tolerate him going out of the palace to harm them.

Some helplessly sighed, "if this goes on, when will it be the end?"

"Lord, don't worry, it must be over soon." a voice suddenly sounded overhead. Prince an was stunned and quickly looked up. He found that several tiles had been removed from the roof in one corner of the study.

A man leaned in from the roof, hooked the beam neatly, and then slipped quietly to the ground.

The courtyards of the royal residence are old houses. It's not difficult to uncover the tiles on the top, but all these are going on quietly. You can see the skill of the people.

"Madam Fu Shao?" Prince an looked at the silent cold whispering in surprise.

Lengsa glanced at the direction of the study gate. Prince an got up and went inside, whispering, "don't worry, everyone outside has gone."

Entering the study, the warm yellow light lit up the room and Prince an's handsome face.

Prince an sat down behind his desk and smiled at lengsa, "Madam Fu, please sit down and have tea?"

Lengsa smiled helplessly, "thank you, Lord. I won't drink. Please forgive me for disturbing the Lord so late."

Prince an shook his head. "It doesn't matter. I have nothing to do all day. It's good to have someone to talk with me. Besides... It's not easy for young lady to come in?"

It was really not easy. Zeng Rong really sent heavy troops to besiege Prince an's house. One of the choices and reconstruction of Prince an's house was to prevent Prince an from escaping. If you can't escape, it's naturally difficult to come in. Lengsa also observed outside for a long time before he came in when the other party changed shifts when it was dark.

Prince an didn't beat around the bush with her, "what's going on outside?"

Lengsa said the thing again. It happened too suddenly. Not to mention the specific situation, even Fu Fengcheng and Long Yue were confused.

But it doesn't matter. They just need to know who their opponent is.

Prince an was silent for a long time after hearing this and sighed softly. "It was the hidden danger that was left in those years, but in those years... I really didn't want to make the capital blood flow into a river. I just hope to take a step back. There will always be time and opportunity to solve these things in the future. I don't want to... Arlene asked you to come to me?"

Lengsa nodded and offered the box Zhuo Lin gave him.

Prince an looked at the small box in front of him. He looked a little complicated. He stared at it for a long time before he said in a deep voice, "take it to Fu Da Shao."

Lengsa was stunned. Prince an smiled, "hasn't Mrs. Fu seen what's inside?"

Leng SA said honestly, "sister Zhuo entrusted me to send it to the Lord."

Prince an smiled and said, "you call her sister? She will take advantage of others. This is what I asked her to keep for me. Since I didn't use it in those years, I won't use it now."

Then Prince Ann reached out and opened the box. There was a key in the box.

Lengsa suddenly remembered that he had just heard the dialogue between Zeng Rong and Prince an on the roof. He was surprised, "is there really a royal treasure house?"

Prince an shook his head and said with a smile, "where's the treasure? The emperor stays in the palace well. Why should he put his treasure outside the palace? It can't be in case of national subjugation. Take it with you? Even if it's true, how many things can a troubled emperor take away? Is the silver note inconvenient, or is the bank draft worthless?"

Lengsa blinked, looked at the key and said, "what is this for?"

Prince an said in a deep voice, "this is a batch of the most advanced weapons that I asked people to buy from abroad at that time, including all kinds of guns and ammunition and dozens of heavy guns. It was originally intended to reform the troops of Anxia, but it was a pity that they were not used. Although it has been nearly 30 years, these weapons... Should not be backward."

The iteration of weapons is not so fast. These weapons are certainly not as good as the most elite army and horse equipment in Anxia, but they are definitely not hip pulling in the whole Anxia.

What's more, there are those gunpowder and shells. Even if these things are backward, they will still have real power.

"How many... Are there?" Leng SA asked.

Prince an thought for a moment, some uncertain tunnel, "should be able to equip 70000 people?"

"Leng Ye was shocked!

No wonder so many people don't trust Prince an. He has been under house arrest for nearly 30 years and still has such a ferocious weapon under his hand.

It seems that there are not many 70000 people for the whole six southern provinces, but if we really ignore it, it is enough to destroy the capital into ruins.

Prince an sighed and began to write with a pen and paper. When lengsa came back, Prince an had written the three letters and sealed them respectively.

"I still have some old friends in the capital. Give them these letters. If they are willing to help me in my face, it's the best. If they don't sell my face, you can only ask for more blessings. After all, so many years have passed..." Prince an said in a deep voice.

Leng SA hurriedly said, "thank you, Lord. Please."

Prince an smiled, took a jade pendant from the drawer, pressed it on those letters and pushed it to lengsa. "This jade pendant is for Prince mu. He knows what to do. I'm not safe here, so I won't keep you much."

Lengsa hesitated. "Don't you want to leave, Lord?"

Prince an waved his hand and said, "don't worry, they won't touch me now. On the contrary, if they really succeed, it's time for me to die. I'll give you my old life."

Leng SA nodded and said, "I see. Take care, Lord."

Prince an smiled and said, "go."

Lengsa put away his things and turned out of the room. He still didn't go through the door and went out directly.

In a building across the street from the military headquarters building, there was a rumble of guns outside. The electricity in the building had long been cut off. People could only use primitive oil lamps and candles for lighting.

When Fu Fengcheng came in, Long Yue and Lou Lanzhou were discussing things around a table.

Long Shao looked at everything, and Lou Shao looked a little embarrassed. On weekdays, the clothes that are always neat and obedient have long been stained with a lot of dust and blood. Even the handsome face also has a blood stain. At first glance, it was killed from the enemy. It seems that it has a bit more killing momentum than usual.

Seeing Fu Fengcheng coming in, Long Yue asked bluntly, "what's the situation over there?"

Fu Fengcheng said, "all senior cabinet officials are blocked in the government building."

Dragon Yue raised his eyebrow. "Didn't you think of something?"

Fu Fengcheng calmly said, "what can I do? I'll break in alone? Even if I can get in, how many people can I bring out?"

Eyes fell on Loulan boat, "less buildings?"

Lou Lanzhou smiled helplessly and said, "there are fine works around his grandfather. His old man has been kidnapped, and the fifth, sixth and eighth armies have all participated in it. Now only the Sixth Army has all entered the city, and most of the Eighth Army is outside the city. Someone has stopped it. The Fifth Army has not done anything yet."

"No action?" Fu Fengcheng raised his eyebrows.

Long Yue said, "the first regiment under Fei Cheng of the Fifth Army is the first to break into the military headquarters building. It is Fei Cheng's absolute confidant. However, the Fifth Army is stationed in Ningxian County 70 miles southwest of the city. There is no news at present. It seems that it does not intend to participate in this matter."

Fu Fengcheng said, "don't worry about him for the time being."

No matter what happened, in this case, the Fifth Army did not move, which means that at least the Fifth Army did not listen to Fei Cheng's orders, which is a good thing for them.

"What's the situation here?" Fu Fengcheng looked across from the window, because there were no tall buildings around the military headquarters. Although they stood upstairs across the street, they could see the military headquarters building opposite. There are bright lights now. Looking at it from a distance, you can guess that there are many soldiers and horses hidden in the night.

Long Yue said, "there are too many troops in the central area. We are short of manpower. It is almost impossible to break through the government building and the military headquarters building. Lou Shao and I are preparing to retreat to the periphery."

Loulan boat also nodded and said, "the troops of the Lou family are entering the city from the west gate. Let's go and meet them."

Fu Fengcheng nodded and said, "let's go."

Long Yue glanced back at the military headquarters building opposite him and said coldly, "Ren Nanyan, right? That old thing had better not fall into my hands."

Today's situation is not unbearable for a proud son like long Shao. Even if Ren Nanyan had been his teacher, he couldn't help but want to deceive his teacher and destroy his ancestors.

Lou Lanzhou said with a smile, "I'm afraid it's not so easy to catch him. Do you remember what the old Ren was good at?"

Long Shao looked disgusted. "So he set up a suspicious array, hid things from the world and killed people with a knife." he didn't like the old man's lecture style in those years.

The three went downstairs and were about to go out when they heard the roar of car motors not far away. The guard at the door immediately became vigilant. Fu Fengcheng looked at the car speeding from a distance and said in a deep voice, "my own people."

"Mrs. Fu?" Lou Lanzhou was a little surprised. He had seen that the driver was a woman.

Lengsa always drives very fast, but he has rushed to him in an instant. With a sudden brake, the two people in the back seat would have almost hit their heads if they hadn't been used to her driving style.

"You are here indeed." lengsa pushed open the door and came down, laughing at the three.

Lou Lanzhou said with a smile, "Madam Fu Shao, this is a special trip to find Fu Shao?"

Look at Fu Fengcheng who has gone to lengsa. Lou Shao suddenly envies him.

Look at the Dragon Tomahawk next to you. Sure enough, it looks a little envious.

After all, at such a time, it is really a pleasant and happy thing for a girl to come to you regardless of her own safety.

Lengsa glanced at Loulan boat and said with a smile, "Lou Shao, you're a little embarrassed."

Lou Lanzhou was helpless, "let the little lady laugh."

Fu Fengcheng looked at lengsa's hand and said, "how did madam come here?"

Lengsa directly took something out of the windbreaker pocket and stuffed it into Fu Fengcheng's hand, "Nuo, it's from Prince an. See if you can help?"

Dragon Yue was surprised. "Madam Shao went to Prince Anqin's house? It's hard to go there now?"

Leng SA smiled, "entrusted by others."

Long Shao picked his eyebrows slightly and soon figured out who entrusted him.

Fu Fengcheng looked at the things in his hand and handed the letter to Lou Lanzhou. "Please bother brother Lou."

Lou Lanzhou looked down and the first envelope was the name of the deputy commander of the Fifth Army. The other two were the commander of the second army, and the other was a famous man in the capital. His reputation in the army was no worse than Ren Nanyan.

Most importantly, two of the three have a good relationship with the Lou family, and one of them is even close. No wonder Fu Fengcheng gave him the letter. If Lou Lanzhou personally came to persuade him to ask for help, he might get a greater response.

Loulan boat did not shirk, put away the letter and nodded, "no problem, three, please rest assured."

Lou Lanzhou left with people. Fu Fengcheng said, "Zhang Jingzhi will gather the police in the capital and some forces to help, but he has no experience in leading troops. I'm afraid he will trouble brother long." then he threw the key and the box to Long Yue, "it's hard."

Dragon Yue raised his hand to catch the box and looked at Fu Fengcheng with a deep look. "Brother Fu really doesn't worry?"

Fu Fengcheng slightly raised his eyebrows, "what are you worried about?"

Long Yue smiled and stuffed the box into his pocket. "Nothing." since Fu Fengcheng was not afraid of giving him weapons that could equip tens of thousands of people, of course he had nothing to say.

He Longyue has his own pride. No matter how, he won't shoot Fu Fengcheng's black gun at this time.

Several people gradually withdrew from the block, and the sound of guns around gradually quieted down.

Watching Long Yue take people away, Fu Fengcheng said to lengsa, "let's go too. The rebels will come around soon."

Lengsa nodded and didn't say much. They got into the car and drove away in the night.
