Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 114 Worth 10 taels
Concubine Lin's words were quite tactful, and she didn't involve Li Shou. Even if Emperor Qianwu didn't like it, she wouldn't blame Li Shou.

Moreover, what Li Changfeng did was indeed too miraculous, so it is normal for her to be curious.

Besides, given Emperor Wu's favor for her, she is confident that she will not be reprimanded too much.

However, she still underestimated the status of artillery in Emperor Qianwu's mind.

As soon as the flower tone fell, Emperor Ganwu's face became gloomy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and asked indifferently: "Is it Li Shou who asked you to inquire about the news?"

On weekdays, Emperor Qianwu always called Li Shou "Shou'er", but now that Emperor Qianwu called him by his first name, Concubine Lin felt bad and shook her head quickly.

"Nothing, it's just that the concubine is curious!"

Emperor Qianwu is in charge of the world, and there are too many intrigues, how can he not understand Concubine Lin's thoughts?
If it was an ordinary matter, he would just deal with it with a few words and get over it.

But this matter involves artillery that he attaches great importance to, and he doesn't want too many people to know, even his own children.

After all, the forces behind them are intricate. Once they are known and leaked out, it may cause unpredictable consequences, and the artillery will lose its unexpected effect in the future.

Therefore, although Concubine Lin denied it categorically, Emperor Qianwu still spoke in an unprecedentedly severe tone, reprimanding in a cold voice: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, don't you know this rule?!"

Concubine Lin still wanted to defend herself, but was interrupted by Emperor Ganwu raising his hand: "How can I not know your thoughts? Tell Li Shou to let him keep his own place and do his own thing well!"

Concubine Lin's expression changed slightly, and she forced a stiff smile: "Your Majesty, this concubine knows."

Emperor Qianwu waved his hand impatiently: "Don't be an example, step back!"

Concubine Lin could only bow and retreat.

Emperor Qianwu's expression was still a little gloomy.

Li Changfeng has not returned yet, and those who intend to compete for the crown prince have already begun to think about how to deal with him.

This made Emperor Qianwu quite annoyed.

Emperor Qianwu thought to himself, in order to prevent someone from secretly targeting Li Changfeng, he must be protected.

Otherwise, with his temperament, if he took the opportunity to quit, it would be a huge loss for Daqian.

Emperor Qianwu couldn't help thinking.

Gao Dali has been with Emperor Qianwu for so many years, and he knows the importance of Li Changfeng very well, so he guessed what Emperor Qianwu was thinking.

He secretly sighed in his heart, at this moment, whoever dares to target His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince would really be asking for trouble!

……

the other side.

The news that spread everywhere in the capital quickly reached the ears of Bingbing, Xiaotong and Xu Feng'er.

After Xu Feng'er heard about this, she was also extremely shocked, and really couldn't figure out how Li Changfeng did it.

But she guessed that it must have something to do with the gunpowder Li Changfeng said that day.

On the other hand, Bingbing and Xiaotong were extremely calm, without the slightest look of surprise, which surprised Xu Fenger very much.

Could it be that they already knew it?

After all, these two people have been with Li Changfeng for a long time, and they probably know many of Li Changfeng's secrets, but they are a new maid.

She thought for a while, and tentatively said: "Two sisters, aren't you surprised at all that His Highness has done such a miraculous thing?"

Bingbing said indifferently: "What's so surprising about this? After you stay with His Highness for a long time, you will know that His Highness's magic is beyond your imagination."

Xiaotong smiled coquettishly: "Feng'er, take good care of His Highness, and you will gradually get used to such things in the future."

Just as Xu Feng'er thought, they have been with Li Changfeng for so long, and they do know many of Li Changfeng's secrets.

For example, the asphalt that paves the road in Baishi City, the delicacies of Dude, tea, refined salt, cameras, video recorders and so on.

At first they were shocked when they saw these things, but then they gradually got used to it.

In their view, Li Changfeng himself is a very magical existence, and they will not be surprised by any magical things he does.

Hearing what the two said, Xu Feng'er was speechless.

But she still refused to give up, and asked: "I wonder if the two sisters know, what method did His Highness use to open a gap of hundreds of feet in Liyu Mountain?"

Bingbing shook her head and said: "We don't know either, we never ask what His Highness does."

Xiaotong reminded: "Feng'er, don't be too curious about his affairs, our duty is to serve His Highness well, this is our duty!"

Xu Feng'er hurriedly bowed and said: "Feng'er knows, thank you sister for reminding me!"

After Xu Feng'er finished speaking, she changed the topic, as if she was no longer interested in it, but in fact she was even more curious in her heart.

……

at the same time.

In Chuxiu Palace, Li Shou walked up and down in the apse, anxiously waiting for the news of Concubine Lin.

After a while, Concubine Lin Gui returned, but her expression was a little downcast.

Li Shou hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Mother Concubine, how is the investigation going?"

Concubine Lin Gui sighed and said: "I was severely reprimanded by your father!"

Having said that, Concubine Lin Guifei paused for a moment, stared at Li Shouzheng and said, "Your father has guessed your thoughts and told you to keep yourself safe and do your own thing well. You should stop thinking about Li Changfeng in the future!"

After finishing speaking, Concubine Lin Gui sat down on the chair with a slumped expression, feeling a little unwilling.

She couldn't figure out why Emperor Ganwu suddenly loved Li Changfeng so much.

Li Shou was jealous.

"Not fair! It's not fair!"

"Why?! Why does the emperor love him so much!?"

"They are all his emperor's sons, why do you favor one over the other? Why do you want to hide something from us, and you can't even inquire about it!?"

Li Shou was almost going crazy with jealousy.

Then he thought that Emperor Qianwu seemed to want Li Changfeng to join the handicraft department on purpose, but that was his sphere of influence!
At the same time, Li Shou felt an unprecedented crisis.

Concubine Lin Gui was taken aback by his words, she quickly looked left and right, and shouted nervously, "Are you crazy!? This is the imperial palace!"

Hearing this, Li Shou quickly calmed down.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the jealousy in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "It's my son's fault for causing mother and concubine to be reprimanded by father!"

Concubine Lin sighed and said, "What are you talking about? I know you are unwilling, but let's stop this matter so as not to offend your father."

Li Shou bowed and said: "My minister knows, my minister will leave!"

Concubine Lin was still worried, and warned, "Don't mess around!"

Li Shou nodded, turned and left expressionlessly.

When he left the palace, his expression gradually became ferocious: "There are already enough opponents, Li Chengye and Li Ji, and I don't want to have one more. It's because you are so favored by the emperor!"

In his opinion, it was obvious that Emperor Qianwu was deliberately protecting Li Changfeng, and was warning him not to have any wrong thoughts about Li Changfeng.

Back at the mansion, Li Shou called Zhao Cheng to the study.

This is a middle-aged man, with an unattractive appearance and a thin body, but his eyes are as sharp as a falcon, giving people a very cold and sincere feeling.

He is Li Shou's hard-core confidant, as long as Li Shou has orders, he will go through fire and water without hesitation.

Seeing Li Shou's extremely gloomy face, Zhao Cheng asked, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Li Shou didn't beat around the bush, and went straight to the point: "This prince wants Li Changfeng to die!"

Zhao Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly, with a dangerous gleam in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will set off right away, and I will guarantee that Li Changfeng will stay in Shangzhou forever!"

But Li Shou waved his hand: "You can't go, if you leave any clues, the consequences will be disastrous, let people in the 'human world' do it."

Zhao Cheng nodded: "OK!"

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Not long after, a thin, unremarkable man wearing ordinary servant clothes came out from the small door in the backyard.

This person is Zhao Cheng after disguised.

He wandered around the city, seemingly buying a lot of things, but in fact, he was making sure that no one was following him, and then he came to a shop called "Mo Bao Zhai", which sold the Four Treasures of the Study.

Seeing a customer coming, the storekeeper, who was wearing a Confucian robe and a bookish atmosphere, came forward to greet him, bowed slightly and said, "Guest, what do you want to buy first? The pens, inks, papers and inkstones in our store are all high-quality goods!"

Zhao Cheng looked around and saw that there were no other guests, so he said in a low voice: "I bought blood-red rice paper, which is soaked in human blood, and I will trust you with your life."

The shopkeeper was startled, then put away his smile and said indifferently: "Guest officer is joking, how can there be such rice paper in this world?"

Zhao Cheng said in a low voice: "In heaven and earth, in the world, there are ways to steal souls and lives. I have guides in front of me and money in the future. You can be Yama and I will overcome difficulties. How could you not?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper smiled: "Yes! Yes! Yes! Don't show this top-quality goods to others easily, follow me to the back hall!"

After speaking, he turned and left, followed by Zhao Cheng.

After entering the secret room in the back hall, the shopkeeper put away the smile on his face and asked in a deep voice, "Who is the target?"

Zhao Cheng said expressionlessly: "Ninth Prince Li Changfeng, now Shangzhou is dealing with floods, my master doesn't want to see him return to Beijing alive!"

As soon as this remark came out, the shopkeeper's eyes suddenly burst into an astonishing look, as if it was real, and it looked quite scary.

"Why? Renowned in the martial arts world, one of the three major killer sects, don't you dare to accept this task?" Zhao Cheng sneered.

"Looking at the whole world, there is no one in this world that I dare not kill!" The shopkeeper said with a cold smile, "However, this person is the current Ninth Prince, with a special status, and the price is not low!"

"Money is not a problem!" Zhao Cheng said, "Let's make a price!"

The shopkeeper said indifferently: "10 taels!"

"What?!" Zhao Cheng exclaimed, then frowned and said, "Don't think I don't know the market in your world, this price is too outrageous, it's ten times more expensive than the normal market!"

The shopkeeper looked calm, and said lightly: "If it was a month ago, Li Changfeng's life was only worth 1 taels."

Speaking of this, he stared at Zhao Cheng, with a hint of deep meaning on the corner of his mouth, his tone raised a bit, and then said: "But it's different now, Li Changfeng is famous all over the world for solving the flood disaster in Shangzhou, and he is deeply favored by His Majesty today, let us kill him." Have you ever thought about how much risk you have to take?"
