Chapter 210: The Situation Suddenly Changes
"The Three Treasures of Good Fortune?"
The big guys were surprised by the name, not domineering at all, but they all felt a little liked, because it seemed to be very auspicious.
"That's right! Hehe, in fact, I came up with this nice name based on the advantages of my boat! Offense, defense and speed, that is, the hull, artillery and propellers, these three are the best in the world! What do you think? Doesn't that seem appropriate? Zhu Xiaobao asked with his head held high with a little pride.
"Hmmm! It's not that domineering, but it feels very heartwarming, and you can always come up with some weird names! The nineteenth princess nodded and said with a smile, in fact, being with Zhu Xiaobao is really a very reassuring feeling, as if there is nothing he can't handle!
"Princess Qiqi, there is a fleet of ships coming to the west, about twenty boats, and according to this, the distance is five miles. At the head are two large warships, the fleet of the Seven Princesses! At this time, the female guard, who was climbing on the highest part of the mast and was in charge of lookout, suddenly shouted.
"Oh? Is something going on? All the goods for this month have been shipped. The iron and stone had just been transported. Oh no, I don't know if the sound of the cannon just now will alarm them? The nineteenth princess frowned and said with some uneasiness.
"I think I can hear it, and it's a tailwind, princess, so let's go back!" Look like they're heading this way! Tong Wuxin hurriedly looked at it with a telescope, and then said with some concern. Now this warship must not let the Seventh Princess know.
"Come on! Sisters, full throttle and hurry back! Zhu Xiaobao shouted at the female guards very enthusiastically, making these female guards all enthusiastic, shaking the rocker with all their might, and the warship that had just been named the 'Auspicious Three Treasures' immediately began to speed up, and it actually drove the fastest speed since going to sea. Mu Junyi secretly estimated that it should be twice as fast as the Seventh Princess's large warship. It's basically comparable to those clippers.
Back in the typhoon shelter, the Nineteenth Princess immediately went back in a small boat, because it was estimated that the Seventh Princess's people would soon come to Xiyuan City.
And Tong Wuxin and the others still stayed on the warship, because the ship's guns were not dismantled for the time being, so these people were stationed here. Just in case. And Junichi Ki also lives here, and she has to make some modifications and improvements to some parts of this boat. Although this time the sea trip was very successful, there were still some problems, and many small flaws were discovered, so Mu Junichi took the initiative to stay.
The nineteenth princess returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and it didn't take long for her to receive the news of her feedback. This time it was really the fleet of the Seventh Princess, and it was to send a thousand strong crossbows to Zhao Meng's army.
This made the nineteenth princess very surprised, and at the same time vaguely felt that something was wrong. It's very likely that something happened in the Imperial City. Otherwise, the Seventh Princess would not be in such a hurry to replenish Zhao Meng's army with strong crossbows. Zhao Meng's military camp originally had a thousand strong crossbows. Now it's doubled, and it's a preparation for a big battle!
However, the general of the fleet only asked the nineteenth princess to say goodbye, and did not disclose any information, and only said that it was a normal supply for Zhao Meng's army. There is no other information.
But Zhu Xiaobao here, just returned to the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, and received Ye Qinghong's flying pigeon biography, Ye Qinghong has already got the latest news: The old emperor is really not good, it should not be able to survive this month.
When Zhu Xiaobao saw it, he was immediately shocked, and it seemed that his good days were coming to an end. As soon as the old emperor dies, the world must be full of disputes. Thinking of the fleet sent by the Seventh Princess at this time. Zhu Xiaobao kind of understood. So he handed the book to Wu Yue and asked her to give it to the nineteenth princess immediately.
Wu Yue's heart was nervous and a little excited, but she had been looking forward to the day when she could make contributions and go into battle to kill the enemy!
Sure enough, after the nineteenth princess read the book of the flying pigeon, she immediately became nervous, she sighed a little, she had too little time left for herself, and she didn't expect to fight so soon. Now my strength is still very poor!
"Let's go! Wu Yue, let's go to the Cave Heaven Blessed Land immediately! "The first thing that the nineteenth princess thought of was Zhu Xiaobao, and today she saw the huge lethality shown by Zhu Xiaobao's warship, which made the nineteenth princess's heart still ignite great hope. Although the strength and preparation are insufficient, the super weapons here are definitely the guarantee of their survival.
"Yes!" Although Wu Yue didn't understand what the Nineteen Dukes were going to do, she immediately followed her out of the City Lord's Mansion and quietly came to the Cave Heaven Blessed Land.
When the nineteenth princess and Wu Yue hurried to Zhu Xiaobao's place, they heard a very familiar sound similar to 'killing pigs' coming from inside at the door, and this was the second time that the nineteenth princess had encountered this kind of voice.
The nineteenth princess was really annoyed in her heart, it was just time, that is, around ten o'clock in the evening, and she started practicing so early? Listening to the voice, it is still the voice of Ying Xiuxiu, who screams the loudest.
Wu Yue's face was also flushed on the side, but he didn't expect that not long after he left, this guy had already started to act, and he was really working hard! Wu Yue didn't have such a good temper, and immediately slapped the door hard: "Okay, okay?" Hurry up and come out, the princess has something to discuss with you! ”
"Huh? You...... You're too impatient! The nineteenth princess immediately looked at Wu Yue with resentment, and she was involved in this matter? This Wu Yue is too straightforward!
There was a very chaotic sound in the room, mixed with Ying Xiuxiu's exclamations. After a while, Zhu Xiaobao poked his head out of it, looked at Wu Yue very dissatisfied, and then bent over to the nineteenth princess, and asked with a smile: "Princess, what's the matter with looking for me so late?" ”
Zhu Xiaobao's heart was extremely aggrieved, and at a critical juncture, he was scared back, and he didn't know if there would be any sequelae!
"Hmmm! Go to your study! The nineteenth princess had no choice but to pretend that she didn't know anything, nodded and said, and then walked directly towards the study.
Seeing that the nineteenth princess was gone, Zhu Xiaobao said viciously to Wu Yue: "Are you sick?" Do you know that interrupting me like this will scare me out of trouble? ”
"You're sick! You started doing it as soon as I left? When is this time? Let's go, the princess is still waiting! Wu Yue replied unceremoniously, and her heart was also sour!
The two quarreled, but Wu Yue still held Zhu Xiaobao's arm and went to the study together very affectionately.
When he arrived at the study, Zhu Xiaobao didn't pay much attention to it, and sat down with a big grin, while Wu Yue stood behind Zhu Xiaobao very well, which was already very good, and he should have been standing behind the princess.
It can be seen that the nineteenth princess's heart is very chaotic, and she is a little unsettled when she sits there, and she doesn't speak for a long time.
"Princess, what the hell is going on? We're all listening! Zhu Xiaobao finally couldn't help but ask, he was still thinking that his business was not finished.
"Oh! It's going to war! The nineteenth princess looked at this little fat man who didn't pay attention to the rules at all, but the more this happened, the more relieved the nineteenth princess became, which showed that this guy didn't regard himself as an outsider.
"Huh? That's it? I know? Isn't it just that the old emperor is going to return to heaven? "Zhu Xiaobao is still not very satisfied with the matter of the old emperor giving the nineteenth princess a marriage, so his expression is very casual. Besides, he also knows that these princes and princesses are not so filial to the old emperor, and they are all thinking about his dragon chair!
"Hmmm! I want to know, if I am in trouble, will you always help me? The nineteenth princess looked at Zhu Xiaobao and asked very seriously.
"Of course! Does this need to be asked? That's what the big night is for? Zhu Xiaobao said without thinking about it, and then asked a little dissatisfied.
"This matter is important to me!" The nineteenth princess seemed to be relieved, and her expression became more relaxed. The eyes also became closer and more reassuring.
"Hmmm! Princess, don't worry, it's not a big deal, as long as my little treasures are here, there is nothing that can't be passed! At worst, I can take you to other places with the 'auspicious three treasures', and let's start anew! Zhu Xiaobao was a little moved, the nineteenth princess regarded herself as the person she relied on the most.
"Always talking nonsense!" The nineteenth princess looked at Zhu Xiaobao with resentment, and then asked, "What do you think Seventh Sister means now?" Will Zhao Meng target me? And then directly control Xiyuan City? ”
"Don't ask me about this, you know I don't care about these things, it's too nerve-wracking! I only know that if Zhao Meng dares to make a move, I will flatten his camp! Zhu Xiaobao quickly shook his head and said.
"Well, I'll take care of these things! …… Then I'll go first! "The nineteenth princess seems to want Zhu Xiaobao to make a promise, and she plans to leave now. Before leaving, he suddenly turned around and said, "You should also pay more attention to these things, since you want to help me, there are some things that you still need to know more!" Oh yes, you get on with you! Wu Yue, you don't have to go back to the City Lord's Mansion tonight, you may be very busy next! ”
"Yes!" Wu Yue's face immediately turned red, and then he bowed down and said.
"What does she mean? What do you mean to be busy with me? Zhu Xiaobao looked at Wu Yue, and then asked with bad intentions.
"Humph! Just let me be busy with you! Why don't you go quickly? ”
"Huh? But...... What about another one in the house? ”
"Let her wait!"
"Is that okay?"
……
Within a few days, the news that the old emperor was critically ill had spread, and this kind of thing spread very quickly. Those who have strength are eager to try, while those who are weak are a little worried. King Wen couldn't sit still at first, and hurriedly came to King Ming to discuss countermeasures.
"Third brother, I think this is an opportunity, as long as the old man dies, we will take Xiyuan City. In that case, there will be no worries! King Ming said with some expectation.
"Huh? How is this possible? ”
