Chapter 135: Defection
Hearing Xu Jing's words, Gonggong Cao's face was embarrassed: "Your Majesty, there are only two copper mines that are still under the name of Daqian, I am afraid of ......."
Xu Jing was stunned, and then laughed: "I quickly forgot, now that the warlords in Daqian are divided, I am afraid it is not easy to get these." ”
"It's okay, in a few days, the entire Daqian will fall into the palm of my hand!"
Xu Jing couldn't help but be overjoyed when he thought of the reserves in his mind.
The gunpowder Xu Jing is currently testing is only the simplest one.
If he can get copper ore, Xu Jing can not only maximize the effect of gunpowder, but also make firearms!
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lin still has important matters over there."
Gonggong Cao hadn't completely walked out of the shock that Xu Jing had brought to him at this moment, and said cautiously.
Gonggong Cao knew very well that his biggest role for Xu Jing was to manage the Jinyi Guard and protect Xu Jing's safety as a guard.
If Xu Jing really made a more powerful and convenient "bomb", most of his role would be dissipated.
At that time, he was not far from stepping down.
"Let's go, since my uncle is waiting, let's go back early."
Xu Jing was in a good mood today, and he didn't notice the change in Gonggong Cao's expression at all.
After Xu Jing left, a group of warriors with snake patterns on their cuffs cautiously came to the place where Xu Jing tested gunpowder.
"What is this thing that has such terrible power?"
One person pinched up the remaining ink on the ground, and his face changed greatly.
All that was left of the place where Xu Jing had placed the porcelain was a pitch black and a small pit several inches deep.
"What's more! Wait and see this! ”
As the other exclaimed, the rest gathered around.
Several people gasped as they looked at the pieces of porcelain that had penetrated deep into the trees, their eyes full of shock.
"This kind of internal force can't be matched by a non-martial arts master!"
It was a long time before one of them exclaimed.
"No, this matter must be reported to Xiangye."
Several people immediately made a decision, and immediately left this place and went straight to Xiaofu.
In the past few days, Xiaofu has been particularly deserted.
Since Xiao Longbow was arrested and imprisoned yesterday, the people of Xiao Mansion have panicked.
Some Xiao family members, who had never won fame in the court, knew very well that the contradictions between the Xiao Mansion and the Daqian Emperor had reached a dire level.
Xiao Daoling's ambition to seek the usurpation of the throne is even more obvious.
Continuing to stay in the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Daoling has achieved great things, and they can naturally get a lot of light.
He was even able to ascend to the Tianzi Hall with the prestige of Xiaofu.
But it is more likely that the Xiao Mansion is likely to be broken.
If you continue to stay in the Xiao Mansion, you can escape the bad luck of Zhulian twice, but you may not be able to escape the third time.
"Xiangye, we have found out the whereabouts of the new emperor and Cao Gong."
In the study, Xiao Daoling's face was sad and joyless, and he quietly waited for his subordinates to report.
The group of servants embroidered with snake pictures on their cuffs quietly appeared in front of Xiao Daoling.
"What are they doing?"
Xiao Daoling slowly opened his eyes and looked at the servant in front of him and asked.
"Master Yu, I waited too far to see clearly. All they know is that they are developing some kind of powerful weapon! ”
"I waited for him to go up and check it out, and it was so powerful that it could completely pierce a piece of porcelain into a tree stump!"
"This kind of internal force is beyond the reach of a non-martial arts master!"
The servants told Xiao Daoling what they had seen.
"What you see?"
When Xiao Daoling heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he suddenly felt uneasy and asked.
The servants looked at each other and arched their hands, "It's true! We categorically dare not deceive Xiangye. ”
"Let's go down."
Xiao Daoling waved his hand to disperse the group of subordinates and walked to the windowsill alone.
"Hot air balloons, unknown powerful weapons."
"Xu Jing, how many hole cards do you still have that haven't been leaked?"
Xiao Daoling felt more and more at this moment that Xu Jingshen was unfathomable and too powerful.
If such figures are allowed to continue to grow, it will not be long before they are difficult to deal with.
"This son must be eliminated as soon as possible!"
A cold light flashed in Xiao Daoling's eyes.
He walked briskly to the desk and wrote letters one after another.
"Lao Zhang, come in!"
After a long time, Xiao Daoling finally wrote the letter and called the housekeeper of the Xiao family.
"What do you command?"
The housekeeper knelt in front of Xiao Daoling and asked cautiously.
"Go, send these letters according to the address. After that, let's go to Jingling. ”
Xiao Daoling handed the letter in front of him to the butler and said lightly.
"Xiangye, what about you? Why don't you leave the capital as soon as possible? With your prestige, you can still sit firmly in the position of prime minister in the capital. ”
The butler asked, grabbing the letter.
"This son imprisoned the old man here, how could he not send a brocade guard to stare at him? The old man wants to leave, I'm afraid it's not so easy. ”
"On the contrary, it is not difficult to leave. Just leave, within half a year, this son categorically did not dare to do anything to the old man. ”
Xiao Daoling smiled sadly, waved his hand and said.
Xiao Daoling never thought that he would end up like this.
He has always been in charge of the great cadres alone, who would have thought that he would end up like this.
"In this case, please take care of yourself."
The housekeeper is also concerned in his heart, the Xiao family in the past was in full swing, whether it was above the court or among the scholars, it was sought after by tens of thousands of people.
But now, his eyes are full of frustration, and only the yellow leaves are scattered.
"Go ahead."
At this moment, Xiao Daoling was like ten years old, and he said tiredly.
The butler didn't say anything more, turned around and left the study, picked a fast horse and brought some dry food and left Beijing quickly.
In the East Palace, Xu Jing returned with his front foot, and Lin Hai came with Xu Sen in a hurry when he received the news.
"Your Majesty!"
Lin Hai and Xu Sen knelt down together and saluted Xu Jing.
Xu Jing waved his hand and replied with a smile: "It's okay, let's talk about what is so anxious." ”
"The generation of Jiangnan Province, the wealthy families are all opposed! Now he is gathering troops and going straight to accompany the capital! ”
"The same is true of the Hedong generation, more than ten local companies have sold their properties and gone straight to the capital with their families!"
Xu Sen then added.
"Interesting, and why?"
Xu Jing's original joy dissipated, and his face turned cold.
"I am not satisfied with the changes of His Majesty in recent days. In addition, the king of Qi ascended the throne in the capital, and the others abandoned their family business and left. ”
"It is rumored that if it weren't for the suppression of Li Dudu, there would also be a mutiny in the Hexi area!"
Lin Hai looked uneasy, looked at Xu Jing and said again.
"It seems that I have never done anything to you, so I am really too merciful?"
"How many millimeters have been disconnected now, and how much grain and grass have been taken away?"
Xu Jing stood up with his hands and asked coldly.
At this moment, 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped past in Xu Jing's heart.
Without the temporary escape of these wealthy families, the power of the capital would have been scattered due to the exhaustion of food and grass in less than three months.
But in this way, with this group of millivalves sending charcoal in the snow, I am afraid that this day will be delayed indefinitely.
"There are about thirty of them! Most of these families are not far away. It is roughly estimated that there are about 10 million stones of grain and grass carried! ”
Xu Sen hesitated for a moment and said cautiously.
