Zai Chun felt as though he had been struck by lightning. Although he was young, he had always been raised as the Empire's only heir. When had he, who grew up in the Forbidden City, ever encountered such a reprimand?
In this world, other than the Mother and her master who could scold him, everyone else was but a slut in his eyes! Even if he had received more than a year of systematic training from Xiao Letian and his sense of kinship with her people had already penetrated deep into his heart, an emperor was still an emperor. He would definitely not allow a subject to be so disrespectful.
"What did you say?" How dare you scold me! I want to shoot you! Someone! "Shoot him!" Zai Chun flew into a rage. However, he forgot one thing. This place was the Zhiyuan Warship, and eunuchs could not board the ship. Moreover, his four bodyguards had long been sent to Fujian to train.
Ever since the four guards had left, Zai Chun's security duties had been entirely taken over by the CIA. These people would protect him, but they definitely wouldn't listen to his orders and kill their own people.
In the end, there was only the little Emperor jumping up and down shouting in the meeting room, but not a single person listened to him.
After all, they were just a teenager. In the future generations, they would have a common name called the youth of the middle school. Their thoughts were strange, and their world views were centered around themselves, while their blood was surging … Anyway, everything about them was simple and straightforward.
"Good, good, good …" If you don't do it, I'll do it! I'm going to kill you! Didn't you say that I'm an idiot? I was the first one to shoot you! " Of course, Zai Chun had a gun, the left wheel that was filled to the brim was inserted into the holster at his waist. He opened the brass clasp, pulled out a Colt from inside and was about to attack Xiang Ying.
"Amitabha!" Almsgiver, you are guilty! " The person standing beside Zai Chun was Sakamoto Ryoma, and with a whooshing sound, the gun was taken away from him before Zai Chun could even pull the trigger.
"Hahaha, your majesty doesn't need to be angry, how about I bring your majesty out for a breather? Come, come, come... Let's go for a breather together! " Ever since Sakamoto Ryoma had changed his name to the Dragon Servant Great Monk, he had started to develop his style towards teasing others. He smiled mischievously as he pushed Zai Chun out of the conference room, biting his ear with the little emperor on the way.
No one expected that Xiang Ying would have such a strong reaction. Although what Zai Chun said was indeed a bit of an idiot, he was still a teenager, so why was he so angry when he said it was wrong?
Xiao Letian nodded at Wang Huaiyuan, "Let the CIA clean up the battlefield quickly. All the prisoners will be temporarily placed on the island, and the three captive warships will be taken over by our sailors.
"Generate power for Luo Huo on the main island. Let him follow his original plan and surround the enemy first. Use artillery to block the key point where the enemy can break through the encirclement. "Right now, time is beneficial for us, so there's no need to rush to attack!"
After making simple arrangements for the battle, Xiao Letian dragged Xiang Ying out of the cabin, into the cool sea breeze, and entered the emergency station beside the bridge.
The light from the match swayed in the sea breeze. The Master and disciple put their heads together to form a cigarette, and the light green smoke was blown away by the wind into the distance.
The setting sun shone a golden light on the master and disciple pair, giving them a sense of divinity. The busy sailors on the deck occasionally looked up, feeling like they did not dare to look up.
"Why did you lose control of your emotions? Could it be because of that little girl Cai Bixia? " Xiao Letian laughed faintly.
Xiang Ying laughed bitterly and curled his lips, "Master looks down on me too much? I don't need to be angry over such a thing. What kind of threat can a little kid like him pose to me? Of course, I still don't get used to it! "
"What are you so used to? "Come on, let's hear it out, the battle situation is basically set. I just happen to have time to chat with you …"
Xiang Ying bravely looked into Xiao Letian's eyes, and only after a long while did he speak out, "Master, what are you trying to do? Did he really think of him as the loyal subject of the Qing Dynasty? Do you really think you are a Imperial Advisor? You have so many disciples, I have never seen you being so concerned about us! "
"Zai Chun is the emperor of the Manchu, not our own emperor. To be honest, Zai Chun should not have known about the secrets of the Zhiyuan Warship, so there was no need to let him participate in the post-battle analysis gathering! "
"The hydrographic data are the highest secret of our navy. If the Chinese want to mix well in East Asia, the most detailed hydrographic data will be the top secret. That's our guarantee!"
"That sea can be ambushed, that sea can be defended against, how many tons of warships can that sea travel on? Even the sea products in that sea can help our Chinese merchants get rich!"
"Just hide these things, but did you just casually let Zai Chun see it? I don't understand, so I don't understand. What are you trying to do? "
Xiang Ying and Xiao Letian suddenly had a feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders. The two of them took a deep drag of the cigarette, and with a flick of their fingers, the cigarette butt flew straight into the ocean.
"Haha …" I suppose you're not the only one thinking that? This question should have troubled many people and you for a long time! "
"Yes!" That's right, I am not the only one who has such doubts, all your disciples have such doubts, especially us Indoor Disciple s … "
The Indoor Disciple that Xiang Ying was talking about was the core circle that Xiao Letian had cultivated, and the first Indoor Disciple was the Four Heavenly Kings. Xiao Hexin, Luo Huo, Wang Huaiyuan, and Sima Yun were the first few close subordinates that Xiao Letian had come into contact with when he was in the Taibai Top.
That was the core of Xiao Letian's entire plan. The four of them had only seen the creation of the Journey to the West and Xiao Letian's power was slowly growing.
Of course, there were a lot of Taiping Army s and guards who followed Xiao Letian in his classroom back then, but after careful selection, only these four had the highest level of comprehension, the most malleable, and there was nothing to not say about their loyalty.
That was how the Four Heavenly Kings came about. In the following days, Xiao Letian taught a few more small lessons, but everyone was very clear about the difference between the Indoor Disciple and the disciples. There were many people who heard Xiao Letian's small lessons, but no one dared to say that they were the Indoor Disciple.
Xiang Ying and Zai Chun were the two exceptions. Xiang Ying's identity as a Indoor Disciple was earned by his uncle, Xiang Shaolong, who risked his life. Back then, because of the matter of Xiang Ying becoming their disciple, he had made Xiao Hexin and the others extremely dissatisfied, almost going against him.
However, Zai Chun had completely relied on political factors to become the Indoor Disciple. In the hearts of the Four Heavenly Kings and Xiang Ying and the other three, Zai Chun was never one of them, so he had no right to inherit everything the Prime Minister gave him.
Xiang Ying said with incomparable excitement. "Master! I can't give Zai Chun any more privileges! Especially reputation, do you really hope that Zai Chun will use his identity as your disciple to openly fight for the authority of the Chinese clan in the future? This was not alarmist talk! This is very likely the truth! "
