Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Real Culprit Who Broke the Machine Was Caught
King Ze was by An Fupei's side, looking at the picture transmitted back from the display screen, the more he looked at it, the more confused he became.
The medicine that this group of people hoarded was obviously the medicine used during the epidemic in Xunyang.
There's a lot of irrationality in that.
If they were hoarding medicine to prevent someone from curing the epidemic, why would they be attacked by the black-clad assassins?
The Black-clad Assassin had recently attacked An Fupei, the same gang that was plotting the plague.
But if they hoarded medicine to treat the Xunyang epidemic, why did they hide the medicine here, seeing the epidemic intensifying in Xunyang, and ignore it?
Also, these people are obviously dressed as people from the Zhenxi Army.
King Ze leaned closer to An Fupei, patted her on the shoulder, and said on his lips, "This thing, let me play with it too." ”
An Fupei looked at King Ze and handed over the remote control.
At the right time, King Ze watched how An Fupei operated the drone, and already knew something about this machine.
After taking over the remote control, he grabbed the joystick and twisted it, and the drone only shook slightly, and then flew in a curve, flying towards the main tent in the camp area.
The drone flew in through the curtain of the tent, and it could be seen that the candles were bright, and in the candlelight, a sturdy man wearing a dark robe with gold threads was pacing back and forth in front of the desk.
When King Ze, who has always been free and easy, saw this figure, he was furious, raised his hand, and almost threw the remote control to the ground.
The person in the tent is the commander of the Zhenxi Army, King Wu Yingjingtai.
King Wu Ying Jingtai is the eldest son of the current Yue Emperor, born to Jiang Guifei.
And the prince of the East Palace is the fourth prince Ying Jinglong, born to the abolished Pan family.
At that time, the Pan family was not abolished, Ying Jinglong was the queen's concubine, and was made the crown prince, everyone took it for granted, and no one objected.
But now that the Pan family has been abolished, the harem is headed by Pan Guifei, and the Yue Emperor still has Ying Jinglong as the crown prince and has not been abolished, which makes the courtiers feel unpresentable.
As the eldest son, Ying Jingtai is even more dissatisfied, and he is ready to move in his head, intending to become the crown prince, and often fights with Ying Jingtai.
King Ze has no intention of ruling the government, and it doesn't matter who is the crown prince, but now in order to compete for the prince, King Wu actually hoarded medicine and took salaries when the epidemic broke out in Xunyang, and disregarded the lives of 300,000 people, isn't it too vicious?
Yes, King Ze was suddenly angry.
Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi also pressed the hilt of the sword, and they couldn't wait to immediately pull out the sword from the sheath, rush into the middle tent, and kill the martial king.
An Fupei pressed Zewang's shoulder, waved his hand at him, and said with his lips, "It's not this person who bought the golden lotus of Xunyang Land. ”
King Ze's body was still trembling slightly with anger, he looked at An Fupei, and said with his lips, "How do you say it?" ”
An Fupei took the remote control from King Ze's hand, operated it twice, and first stabilized the drone, and then said to King Ze, "If the golden lotus purchased in Xunyang City a month ago should be dried, and some of the golden lotus in the cave are dry, and some are fresh, obviously purchased temporarily." ”
An Fupei analyzed methodically, lips said, "Moreover, the ground golden lotus in his sack is larger, which is different from the ground golden lotus in Xunyang. ”
An Fupei once went to Xunyang countryside to dig up the golden lotus to cultivate, and was familiar with the roots of the golden lotus here, the golden lotus in Xunyang was slender and long, and the roots of the golden lotus in the cave were swollen.
King Ze slowly calmed down at this time and muttered, "The Western Realm Xiuqi is indeed rich in golden lotus. ”
In this way, King Wu was not a person who planned the epidemic in Xunyang, but heard about the epidemic in Xunyang City, so he temporarily purchased medicine and rushed all the way from the west.
If this is the case, King Wu should have come to treat the Xunyang epidemic.
Why didn't he go into the city immediately to deliver the medicine, but hid the medicine in the Mangshan mountain col, thirty miles away from Xunyang City?
An Fupei calls up the parameters on the remote control display.
This drone wasp detector can get the sound, but An Fupei was afraid that the sound would alarm the other party, so he turned off the sound.
Now she took out two Bluetooth earbuds, one for Zewang to put on his left ear, and the other into her right ear, so that she could hear the sound in the middle tent.
A scribe-like figure on the left side of the tent said, "It's autumn, and there are still bees." With that, he waved his hand to drive away the reconnaissance drone.
At the right time, King Ze caused the drone to shake around due to his emotion, and was discovered by Ma Shiliang, a strategist in King Wu's account.
However, Ma Shiliang could not have imagined that this was a reconnaissance machine.
An Fupei's remote-controlled drone flew into the top of the cantilever on the top of the tent, stopped, and adjusted the position of the camera, just in time to have a glimpse of the situation in the tent.
King Wu said impatiently: "Don't worry about any bees, now let's talk about what to do!" ”
King Wu stopped his steps and sat down angrily at the back of the desk.
"We spent so much time transporting the epidemic medicine to Xunyang day and night, but we didn't expect to be preempted by King Ze!"
The muscles on King Wu's dark and strong face were knotted, and he looked extremely annoyed.
"King Ze has no intention of competing to be the crown prince, he came to rob this king for this credit, it's really inexplicable!"
King Ze and An Fupei glanced at each other, only to know that King Wu had brought these medicines over, and they were indeed here to save Xunyang from the epidemic.
However, King Wu's treatment of the epidemic was not out of pity for the people, but to compete for merit as a capital to compete for reserves in the future.
Ma Shiliang said: "His Royal Highness King Wu doesn't need to be too anxious. We have destroyed Zewang's machine for cultivating medicinal herbs, and they can't cultivate medicinal herbs in two days. ”
King Ze and An Fupei looked at each other.
An Fupei didn't expect that the machine was actually broken by the Martial King's people, it must have been Zheng Chaozong when he was messing around with the machine, and was attacked by the warriors of the Martial King with a hidden weapon in the dark. caused Zheng Chaozong to think that he had broken the machine, and the poor guy blamed himself and was about to be overwhelmed.
King Wu was still worried, his right hand clenched his fist and placed it on the table, his chest heaving, "But King Ze has money, will he have another way to get the Golden Lotus from somewhere else?" ”
Ma Shiliang said: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry about this, if you don't talk about us, that person won't let King Ze get the Golden Lotus." ”
Ma Shiliang bit the word "that person" very hard, obviously referring to the conspirator who planned the Xunyang epidemic.
King Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and the fist on the case slowly loosened, "Then you must also keep an eye on King Ze's movements, and you must not take it lightly, taking Xunyang is very important to this king, as long as we save the people of Xunyang this time, and the people are grateful to this king, then once this king sends troops in the future, it will be much more convenient." ”
Hearing this, King Ze suddenly realized that everything could be explained.
Why did King Wu hoard medicine here?
Why did the black-clad assassins come to assassinate the Warrior King?
King Wu wanted to take advantage of this epidemic to buy people's hearts in Xunyang, and use the Huairou policy to make Xunyang his sphere of influence, paving the way for future soldiers.
Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi were also watching the reconnaissance pictures transmitted back behind An Fupei and King Ze at this time.
But they could only see the warrior king and the strategists talking, but they couldn't hear the sound.
Seeing An Fupei and King Ze glance at each other from time to time, exchanging looks, Xiao Wu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, leaned over to King Ze, and whispered: "Let's grab it!" ”
An Fupei looked at Xiao Wu and couldn't help but sigh at his loyalty, knowing that there were so many tent people, Xiao Wu dared to ask for his life to rob him.
It's just that hitting a stone with an egg is not advisable.
An Fupei smiled and said, "Your prince is not a man who walks the rivers and lakes, he robs at every turn." ”
Xiao Wu scratched his head, "What should I do then?" ”
Obviously, the golden lotus is right in front of him, but he can't take it out to save people's lives.
It's also too frustrating.
An Fupei poked Xiao Wu's brain and said on her lips, "Tomorrow you disguise yourself as Mr. Tent, go to His Royal Highness King Wu to collect rent, and tell him that this mountain belongs to me An Fupei, and you have to pay for camping in my mountain." ”
An Fupei turned her head and instructed Xiao Qi, her lips said, "Go back to the city and tell the people that Doctor An, that is, I want to plant peach trees on Mangshan, whoever cuts a load of miscanthus grass and picks it to the post house, His Royal Highness King Ze will give anyone a tael of silver, and the more people who go to Mangshan to cut the miscanthus grass, the better." ”
Didn't King Wu want to make meritorious contributions and buy people's hearts in Xunyang? If the people know that he has medicine in his hand, but they still hide it, see where he wants to be a good person.
