C958

Xiaoyuanzi thought: "I feel that your Highness's temperament has become very indifferent. When I hear that your Majesty's dragon body is not healthy, I don't have a word to ask. I must be very worried before I change it. In addition, his Highness's eyes on Xia Yue are very strange. "

Hua Rui Eye Bead son bone Lu Lu turn, suddenly way: "I know, someone civet cat change prince!"

Small yuan son a Zheng, immediately can't laugh or cry a way: "you this head melon seed is thinking what, return civet cat to change prince."

Hua Rui was unconvinced and said, "isn't that the way it was in the play? Besides, didn't Mr. Gu have been changed before? "

"In those days when the prince was forbidden, the imperial guards and Shenji camp were guarding the East Palace day and night. I'd like to ask, how can I get the prince out?"

"This..." Huarui was unable to answer Xiaoyuanzi's question. She said unconvinced, "tell me, your highness, what's going on."

Xiaoyuanzi couldn't answer. Seeing mu Qianxue worried, he comforted him: "Your Highness should have something to worry about. Just wait for it to be solved. Don't worry too much."

"That's the only way." Mu Qianxue sighed and said to Xiaoyuanzi, "while it's still early, go to Zhang's house and invite Zhang Xiang to the palace."

"Yes." After Xiaoyuanzi retreated, Huarui said curiously, "master, what do you want to do with Zhang Xiang?"

Xia Yue lightly scolds a way: "nature is a matter, where come so many words."

The pistil knows it's talkative. She sticks out her tongue and doesn't dare to ask again. Mu Qianxue doesn't feel angry. She caresses the lily petals in the blue and white porcelain vase with her fingers. Her eyes light up and looks up to the bright sky. A group of unknown birds are fluttering by, "it's not polite to come here."

After the midsummer, it is autumn. Among the four seasons, autumn is the harvest season. The people are happy and the National Treasury is abundant, which makes people happy.

But this autumn, the emperor of Qi was not happy. First, the Northern Zhou Dynasty increased troops at the border. Although there was no attack for the time being, it was like a sharp sword hanging over his head, which made him under more pressure. Then, he was defeated by his king Ling in the battle for the reserve, and almost defeated Linzi. Then the youngest son, the favorite son of emperor Qi, was attacked by several gangsters when he was out hunting. Under the desperate protection of a group of guards, he recovered his life. But he was also frightened and became seriously ill when he came back.

A series of events worried the emperor of Qi, but it was not over. There were assassins from time to time in Linzi City, which was always peaceful. The assassins were all important officials of the imperial court. In just one month, two ministers were assassinated, and several others were injured to varying degrees. For a moment, people were in a panic. In order to appease people, the emperor of Qi would always be the blood knight who was only responsible for guarding the imperial palace After being transferred to other places and supplemented by patrols by the imperial guards day and night, peace can be achieved. However, the assassins are still there. Once they relax, the assassination will continue.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wang is here." The unique shrill voice of eunuch sounded in the dark hall.

The Qi emperor, leaning against the Dragon chair, looked slowly and said in a deep voice, "Xuan!"

"Yes." Shortly after the eunuch bowed down, a middle-aged man in his forties came in, stood in the middle of the hall, bowed his hands and saluted, "see your majesty."

After beckoning him to get up, Emperor Qi asked frankly, "how's it going?"

Prime Minister Wang said respectfully, "the muskets and cannons have been built and tried. They are really powerful. As for the watercraft, the hull has been built. Only the most critical part is needed to enter the water for testing."

"He won't?" Qi Di asked coldly, his face could not be seen clearly in the dim light.

"Yes. I asked him for it many times, but he took it as an excuse that his majesty had not handed over 200000 troops to him. " With that, Prime Minister Wang frowned and said, "if you don't give him soldiers, he will never hand over the drawings."

Emperor Qi was silent for a moment and said, "what have I told you to do?"

"I did it according to your Majesty's orders, but Xiao Ruo Ao didn't get close to women, nor did he drink. He even wanted silver needles to eat, and then he was willing to eat. He really couldn't do it."

Qi Di sneered, "he is very cautious."

"It's really troublesome, otherwise..." Prime Minister Wang looked at him and said tentatively, "I'll think of another way."

Qi emperor Mou Guang frets, cool voice way: "do you want to use punishment?"

"Your Majesty is wise." Prime Minister Wang saluted again, raised his head and said, "people are always people, not made of iron. As long as the pain of skin and flesh is enough, don't believe him and don't say it."

"The water boat is the only hope for his recovery. He won't say it." Qi Di rejected his idea without hesitation.

"But we can't really give him 200000 troops." Prime Minister Wang said helplessly: "first of all, if we send out so many soldiers, we will lose the national strength of Qi seriously; second, Xiao Ruo Ao is not a good person, and his goal is not limited to the Northern Zhou Dynasty."

"I know." Emperor Qi stroked the smooth armrest and said, "that's why I called you to discuss. We don't have much time left."

Prime Minister Wang was just about to ask the meaning of this sentence. The sound of footsteps came from behind him. When he looked back, it turned out to be blood shadow. The corners of his clothes moved with his feet, with a faint smell of blood. When he looked carefully, the silver gray robe was splashed with a lot of blood. It seemed that he had just experienced a fierce battle and had no time to change his clothes.Xueying went to Prime Minister Wang and knelt down on one knee and said, "I tell your majesty that I just caught an assassin who killed Mr. Dong. Unfortunately, he was waiting for his chance to commit suicide and failed to capture him alive."

"Where are the other assassins?"

"I haven't heard from you yet, but before the man died, there was a word for his humble position to be transferred to your majesty."

Qi Di stared at him and said, "what did you say?"

Blood shadow truthfully repeats, "it's not polite to come but not go."

Emperor Qi's eyes flashed a light and murmured: "it's really her."

Wang Cheng thought about the "she" in the words of emperor Qi. Suddenly, a name came out and said, "Princess Xuanji?"

"Yes, Wansan's identity has been exposed. She knows it's me, so she's thinking about revenge." Emperor Qi got up and went to a bronze cloud carved crane candlestick. Because the candle in the candlestick had been burning for a long time, the wick was burnt black and curled into a ball, which made the light dim and no longer bright. He took the copper pick on the side and picked out a wick. Just as the autumn wind blew in from the crack of the door which was not closed tightly, the wick was suddenly lengthened and brighter than before.

Prime Minister Wang suddenly said, "I understand. No wonder your majesty says that time is short. You have to finish the water boat quickly to deal with the Northern Zhou Dynasty."

Emperor Qi clapped his hands and said in a cool voice, "wrong."

Prime Minister Wang was stunned. He didn't know what his mistake was. He just said, "please make it clear to your majesty."

"Even if we finish the watercraft now, it will take us some time to adapt. We can't use it immediately. If we start in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, we will be passive."
