Li Chengye said with a solemn expression: "Uncle, Li Changfeng's White Stone City can actually withstand the attack of more than 10,000 beast tides, and it is still a secret what means are used. Such an amazing combat power will definitely become a stumbling block for me to inherit the unification in the future, what should I do now? ”

Murong Changkong's brows furrowed, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "In my opinion, Your Highness doesn't need to worry too much. ”

"Oh?" Li Chengye was surprised, "Why did my uncle say this?" ”

Murong Changkong pondered for a moment, organized his words and said: "Now I look back and think carefully about what the Nine Emperor Princes did, after controlling the flood in Shangzhou, I beat Li Ji in the court, and I clearly had the idea of defiling myself and deliberately did not want to give a reward. After returning to Beijing, he never contacted any ministers of the DPRK and China, and even cut off the financial routes of many ministers of the DPRK and China, so it did not seem that he intended to compete for the position of the crown prince. ”

Hearing this, Li Chengye fell into deep thought.

Murong Changkong continued: "Let's talk about the task given to him by His Majesty, if ordinary people have the opportunity to control the army, then they have to do everything they can?" Look at him again, how often do you go to the secret military camp in Huangzhuang? I monitored his whereabouts and found that he devoted most of his time to making money, and I heard that His Majesty had also reprimanded him for this time, so it can be seen that he only wanted to be a rich idler. ”

Hearing this, Li Chengye's brows stretched a lot, but he was still worried: "But now that he controls such a terrifying power, and he has won the trust of His Majesty, he will still be a threat in the future." ”

Murong Changkong shook his head: "With our Majesty's temperament, how can such a powerful weapon of the country be controlled by others?" If he could really control it, would he be so careless? Your Majesty trusts him, but in the final analysis, Your Majesty's primary consideration in selecting an heir is the ability to govern the country, Li Changfeng has no experience in this area at all, how can he compare with you? With those tricks and tricks? ”

Hearing this, Li Chengye suddenly brightened, got up and bowed down and bowed: "What my uncle said has opened the mouth of this prince, and it is a great fortune for Chengye to have my uncle's assistance!" ”

Murong Changkong hurriedly got up and helped Li Chengye up and said, "It's all a family, why do you need to see outside?" ”

"Well, uncle, please take a seat."

Li Chengye invited Murong Changkong to sit down, and asked, "So how should this prince get along with Li Changfeng in the future?" If you continue to woo him, I am afraid that it will fuel his momentum. ”

Murong Changkong chuckled, "What about boosting his momentum?" Li Changfeng is now deeply favored by His Majesty, and boosting his momentum is to leave a good impression on His Majesty. The second prince has repeatedly tried every means to suppress Li Changfeng, but what is the result? Your Highness should remember that as long as you show your ability to govern the country and learn from others' strengths, Your Majesty will eventually hand over the great cadres to you! ”

Li Chengye pondered for a moment, and a smile gradually appeared on his face: "What my uncle said is extremely true! ”

Li Ji has been paying attention to Li Changfeng's movements, and he was also shocked when he learned about it, and when his mind calmed down, it turned into lingering resentment and anger.

"Father, father, you actually handed over such a terrible secret weapon to him, and he is also your prince, why do you favor him so much?!"

"Don't forget, he's a mongrel with the bloodline of the previous dynasty, so you can rest assured of him, and not worry about a few of our princes with pure blood?!"

"Are you doing this because you plan to hand over the big cadres to him in the future?"

"I hate it!!"

After Feng Quji, the head of the hundred officials, learned about this, he was also shocked and speechless, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, with a meaningful smile on his face.

"Judging from all indications, that secret weapon should have been made by His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, otherwise His Highness would not have suddenly trusted him so much."

"Since he returned to Beijing, he has not had the slightest intention of attracting civil and military officials to establish his own power, and if he is not deep-minded, he has no interest in the position of the crown prince."

"No matter how he repels that terrible beast tide, his talent can't be concealed, and his future is limitless, and His Majesty seems to be interested in cultivating, and he is also a good heir!"

At this moment, Feng Quji already faintly fell towards Li Changfeng.

After Ye Qingcang heard the news, he was so excited that he applauded again and again in the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Good! Good! Good! ”

"This battle was fought beautifully!"

"His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes not only has the backbone, but also the talent to lead the troops in battle, and he will definitely become a generation of famous generals if he is trained!"

He was a veteran of a hundred battles, and he knew better than ordinary people how difficult it was to fight against more than 10,000 evil beasts, and even with that secret weapon that could emit the sound of thunder, not everyone could win.

In particular, the almost non-existent battle damage made him feel very incredible.

If he hadn't confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his sources, he would have even wondered if it was true.

After a burst of admiration, Ye Qingcang's eyes burst out with an astonishing light of confidence, and he smiled coldly: "Barbarian, if you dare to offend me, sooner or later you will be wiped out!" ”

He believed that the reason why Emperor Qianwu covered that secret weapon and did not pull it to the battlefield must have been temporarily restricted.

Once he has no restrictions, he will definitely be able to sweep away the barbarians.

……

The news of Li Changfeng's battle in Baishi City not only caused a shock to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, but also caused a huge sensation among the people, and the matter was discussed everywhere in the streets and alleys.

"Have you heard, His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes repelled the largest beast tide in history with a scale of more than 10,000 in White Rock City!"

"How can you not hear of this? Now everyone knows about this matter, I heard that more than 4,000 evil beasts died, and the corpses outside Baishi City were piled up like a mountain of blood! ”

"It's amazing, it's really amazing, more than 10,000 evil beasts, how did His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes repel it, it can't be fake, right?"

"This thing is absolutely not fake, I have a relative who works on an errand at a minister's house, and the people above have said that it is true, and those officials and old men are also frightened!"

"In the past, His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes was descended from the gods and I still didn't believe it, but now I believe it completely, how can mortals repel more than 10,000 evil beasts?!"

"In my opinion, Your Majesty should let His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes lead troops to fight those southern barbarians!"

"Isn't it, if His Highness makes a move, will those southern barbarians still have a way to live?"

Li Changfeng rushed all the way to the capital, and already knew that the news of the first battle of Baishi City had spread throughout the entire Daqian.

The people passing through the city were all overjoyed when they saw his chariot, and praised him again and again for his wisdom and martial arts, and he was descended from heaven and earth.

This made Li Changfeng quite helpless.

In the blink of an eye, I came to the capital.

In order to keep a low profile, Li Changfeng originally wanted to let the Imperial Forest Army and the Ouchi master enter through the main gate, but he entered through the city gate in the other direction in a low-key manner, but was sternly rejected by the Imperial Forest Army and the Ouchi master.

They also knew about Li Changfeng's assassination in the capital, and with the emperor's order in their bodies, how could they dare to let Li Changfeng act alone?

Helplessly, Li Changfeng could only enter the capital in a very high-profile manner under their mighty escort.

This time, because there was no order from Emperor Qianwu, no one came to greet him, but the people on the streets of the capital greeted him with a tsunami of mountains and tsunamis.

Li Changfeng kept saying "get up, don't be polite", his mouth was dry, and his face was about to cramp with laughter.

Finally returned to the mansion, Li Changfeng just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go back to sleep, but found the eldest prince Li Chengye waiting at the door with a smile on his face.

is the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, and after all, he is his nominal eldest brother, plus the 50,000 taels of silver that he gave him last time, so Li Changfeng showed enough enthusiasm.

"Brother Emperor, why are you here!?"

Li Changfeng hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, walked in front of Li Chengye with an enthusiastic face, grabbed his arm and walked to the house: "What do you say when you stand at the door?" When others see it, they have to blame the emperor for my poor hospitality, please come inside! ”

Li Chengye did not refuse, and said with a smile: "You are a great hero of my great work, and I am naturally greeting you when I stand at the door." Originally, I wanted to go to the city gate, but after thinking about it for a while, I felt that it was a bit swaggering, so I didn't go. ”

Li Changfeng waved his hand again and again: "What a great hero, isn't it just that he repelled some evil beasts, it's nothing, and the rumors in the outside world are too exaggerated." ”

Speaking of this, Li Changfeng looked left and right, deliberately lowered his voice, and said in Li Chengye's ear: "Brother Emperor, Brother Emperor, I won't talk to you, think about it, just the little force in Baishi City plus a mere 1,000 Imperial Forest Army, how can it be possible to kill tens of thousands of evil beasts?" It's not my father's secret weapon yet! ”

With such a big move this time, Li Changfeng knew that the artillery would not be hidden for a long time, and in his opinion, there was no need to continue to hide, so it was better to sell it to Li Chengye.

It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy, right?

Seeing that he was so honest, Li Chengye nodded secretly and increased his favor, and took the opportunity to probe: "What kind of secret weapon is it?" ”

Li Changfeng lowered his voice a little and said, "That thing is not simple, it will explode, do you know?" With a bang, it was like thunder, and the mountains could explode, let alone any evil beasts. I'll tell you—"

Before he could finish his sentence, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"His Royal Highness the Ninth Emperor Prince, please stay, Your Majesty summons!"

Li Changfeng sighed, turned to look at Gao Dali, and said, "This prince has just returned to the capital, can't he take a rest first?" The father is simply calling people like cattle and horses! ”

Gao Dali was accustomed to Li Changfeng's words like a tiger and wolf, and Li Chengye on the side was secretly frightened, even if he didn't dare to say something that was obviously complaining.

"The old slave greets His Royal Highness the Great Prince, His Royal Highness the Ninth Emperor!"

After saluting, Gao Dali looked at Li Changfeng and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Ninth Emperor Prince should go to see His Majesty first, and then it's not too late to come back and rest." ”

"Let's go, then."

Li Changfeng complained helplessly and looked at Li Chengye: "Brother Emperor, get together again another day!" ”

Li Chengye nodded: "It's okay, brother Huang, you better go to see your father first." ”

"Okay, then I'll go first."

Li Changfeng greeted and went to the palace with Gao Dali.

Looking at the back of Li Changfeng leaving, Li Chengye felt helpless in his heart.

If it weren't for Gao Li's suddenness, he would have been able to find out more detailed information.

However, after the last conversation with his uncle Murong Changkong, he was no longer so obsessed with this secret, and the main purpose of coming this time was to befriend Li Changfeng.

On the way, Li Changfeng took out a stack of silver tickets and stuffed them into Gao Dali's hand like a trick, and said with a smile: "I said Lao Gao, what is the matter with my father summoning me in such a hurry?" ”

Gao Dali did not refuse this time, quietly put away the silver ticket, and said in a low voice: "It's not because Your Highness has repelled an incredible number of beast tides, Your Majesty is very interested in this, and I want to hear you explain it clearly." ”

Li Changfeng smiled and said: "What is there to say about this, isn't it because of artillery, Lao Gao, you know, there are also artillery in Baishi City." ”

Gao Dali glanced at Li Changfeng and said with a smile: "Your Highness, isn't it possible that the Wasteland also has your artillery?" ”

Hearing this, Li Changfeng knew that his silver was not given in vain, Gao Dali was tantamount to mentioning him, obviously Emperor Qianwu already knew about the existence of the bomb, so he summoned him in such a hurry.

However, he didn't want Gao Dali to know that he was deliberately hiding from Emperor Qianwu, so he shook his head and denied: "Where did the artillery come from in the Wasteland? I've just improved the gunpowder used to blow up the carp mountain and blow up the evil beasts. In the battle of White Rock City, this thing also played a big role, but in the final analysis, it was just gunpowder. ”

Gao Dali did not doubt him, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is really ......"

After thinking about it for a while, Gao Dali couldn't think of any particularly suitable words of praise, so he said: "Extremely smart! ”
