Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 161 Uncle Guo's Evaluation

Li Chengye said solemnly: "Uncle, Li Changfeng's Baishi City was able to withstand the attack of a huge beast tide of more than [-]. The method is still a secret. Such amazing combat power will definitely become my successor in the future." Stumbling block, what should we do now?"

Murong Changkong frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "In my opinion, Your Highness need not worry too much."

"Oh?" Li Chengye asked in surprise, "Why did uncle say that?"

Murong Changkong pondered for a moment, organized his words and said: "Now I look back and think carefully about the actions of the Ninth Prince. When the court beat Li Ji after the flood in Shangzhou was dealt with, he clearly had the idea of ​​self-defilement and deliberately refused to reward him. After returning to Beijing, he even He has never solicited and contacted any court ministers, and even cut off the financial resources of many court ministers, so it doesn't seem like he intends to compete for the crown prince."

Hearing this, Li Chengye fell into deep thought.

Murong Changkong continued: "Let's talk about the task His Majesty entrusted to him. If ordinary people have the opportunity to control the army, they have to do everything possible? Look at him again, how often do you go to the secret military camp in Huangzhuang? I monitored his whereabouts, and found that he spends most of his time on earning money, and I heard that His Majesty also reprimanded him because of this time, so it can be seen that he only wants to be a wealthy idler."

Hearing this, Li Chengye frowned quite a bit, but he still worried: "But now that he controls such a terrifying power, and has won His Majesty's trust, he will still be a threat in the future."

Murong Changkong shook his head: "With our majesty's temperament, how can such an important weapon of the country be controlled by others? If he can really control it, he will be so careless? His majesty trusts him, but in the final analysis, his majesty's first consideration in choosing an heir Or the ability to govern the country, Li Changfeng has no experience in this area at all, how can he compare with you? With those strange skills and ingenuity?"

Hearing this, Li Chengye was suddenly enlightened, stood up and bowed, and said: "What my uncle said has opened my prince's mouth, and it is a great fortune for Chengye to have my uncle's help!"

Murong Changkong hurriedly got up and helped Li Chengye up, "We're all family, why bother to see outsiders?"

"Well, uncle, please sit down."

Li Chengye invited Murong Changkong to sit down, and then asked: "Then how should I get along with Li Changfeng in the future? If I continue to win him over, I'm afraid it will increase his reputation."

Murong Changkong chuckled softly and said, "So what if it boosted his reputation? Li Changfeng is now deeply favored by His Majesty, and boosting his reputation is to impress His Majesty. The second prince has tried every means to suppress Li Changfeng, but what happened? Your Highness, remember, you As long as you show the ability to govern the country and the mind to learn from others' strengths, His Majesty will eventually hand over the big job to you!"

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

Li Ji has been paying attention to Li Changfeng's movements all the time, and he was shocked when he learned of this incident. When his mind calmed down, it turned into lingering resentment and anger.

"Father, father, you actually handed over that terrible secret weapon to him. They are also your princes. Why do you prefer them so much?!"

"Don't forget, he is a bastard with the blood of the previous dynasty, you are so worried about him, and not worried about us princes with pure blood?!"

"Are you planning to hand over Dagan to him in the future?"

"I hate it!!!"

Prime Minister Feng Quji, the head of the hundred officials, was also shocked and speechless when he heard about it. It took him a long time to recover, with a meaningful smile on his face.

"Judging from all indications, the secret weapon should be created by His Highness the Ninth Prince, otherwise His Highness wouldn't suddenly trust him so much."

"Since he returned to Beijing, he has no intention of wooing civil and military officials to build his own power. If he is not deep-minded, he has no interest in the crown prince."

"No matter how he repelled the terrifying beast horde, his talent cannot be concealed. His future is boundless. His Majesty seems to be interested in cultivating him, so he is a good heir!"

At this moment, Feng Quji already had the faint intention of falling for Li Changfeng.

After Ye Qingcang heard the news, he was so excited that he applauded repeatedly in the Chinese military tent.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"It was a beautiful battle!"

"His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince not only has the strength of character, but also has the talent to lead troops in battle. With experience, he will definitely become a famous general of the generation!"

He is a veteran of many battles, and he knows better than ordinary people how difficult it is to fight against more than 1 evil beasts. Even with the secret weapon that can make the sound of thunder, not everyone can win.

Especially the almost non-existent battle damage made him feel very incredible.

If he hadn't confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his news channel, he would even doubt whether all this was true.

After a burst of admiration, Ye Qingcang's eyes burst out with astonishing confidence, and he said with a cold smile: "Barbarians, if you dare to offend me, you will be wiped out sooner or later!"

He believed that the reason why Emperor Qianwu held onto that secret weapon to the public and did not pull it to the battlefield must be due to some temporary restrictions.

Once there are no restrictions in the future, the barbarians will definitely be swept away.

……

The news of Li Changfeng's Battle of Baishi City not only caused a shock in the civil and military affairs 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 that His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince repelled the largest beast horde in history with a scale of more than 1 in Baishi City!"

"How can I not have heard of this? Everyone knows about this matter now. I heard that more than 4000 evil beasts died, and the corpses outside Baishi City piled up like mountains and blood flowed into rivers!"

"It's terrible, it's really terrible, there are more than 1 evil beasts, how did His Highness the Ninth Prince fight back, can't it be a fake?"

"This matter can never be faked. I have a relative who works in a minister's house. The people above said it was true, and the officials and gentlemen were all frightened!"

"I used to believe that His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince descended from the heavens, but now I completely believe it. How can a mortal fight back more than 1 evil beasts?!"

"In my opinion, His Majesty should let His Highness the Ninth Prince lead troops to fight those southern barbarians!"

"Isn't it? If His Highness takes action, those southern barbarians can still survive?"

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

The people passing through the city were all rejoiced when they saw his car driving, and praised him again and again for his wisdom and martial arts.

This made Li Changfeng quite helpless.

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

In order to keep a low profile, Li Changfeng wanted the Imperial Forest Army and Ouchi masters to enter through the main gate, but he low-keyly entered from the other direction of the city gate, but was sternly rejected by the Imperial Forest Army and Ouchi experts.

They also knew about Li Changfeng's assassination in the capital, and with the emperor's order, how dare they let Li Changfeng act alone?
Helpless, Li Changfeng could only enter the capital in a very high-profile way under their mighty guard.

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 lined up to greet him, and there was a roar of mountains and waves of worship.

Li Changfeng kept saying "Get up, excuse me", his mouth was dry, and his face was about to cramp from laughing.

After finally returning to the mansion, Li Changfeng 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.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling face, and after all, he is his eldest brother in name, plus the 5 taels of silver given to him last time, so Li Changfeng showed enough enthusiasm.

"Brother Emperor, why are you here!?"

Li Changfeng quickly jumped out of the carriage, walked up to Li Chengye with enthusiasm, took his arm and walked into the mansion: "What does it look like to stand at the door? Others will blame the emperor for my poor hospitality. Come inside." please!"

Li Chengye didn't refuse either, he laughed and said, "You are a great hero of mine, so I stood at the gate to welcome you. Originally, I wanted to go to the gate of the city, but after thinking about it, I thought it was a bit ostentatious, so I didn't go."

Li Changfeng waved his hands again and again: "What a great hero, isn't it just repelling some evil beasts, it's nothing, and the rumors from the outside world are too exaggerated."

Speaking of this, Li Changfeng looked around, deliberately lowered his voice, and said in Li Chengye's ear: "Brother Dahuang, Brother I won't lie to you, think about it, with the strength of Baishi City plus How could a mere thousand imperial guards be able to kill tens of thousands of evil beasts? It's not the royal father's secret weapon!"

With such a big commotion this time, Li Changfeng knew that the cannons would not be hidden for long, and in his opinion there was no need to keep hiding them, so it would be better to sell them to Li Chengye.

One more friend is better than one more enemy, right?
Seeing that he was so honest, Li Chengye secretly nodded to increase his goodwill, and took the opportunity to test out: "What is the secret weapon?"

Li Changfeng lowered his voice a bit and said: "That thing is not simple, you know it will explode? The bang is like thunder, and a mountain can explode, let alone a demonic beast. Let me tell you—— "

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

"His Royal Highness Ninth Prince, please stay, Your Majesty has summoned you!"

Li Changfeng sighed, turned around to look at Gao Dali, and said with nothing to love: "This prince has just returned to the capital, so why can't he take a rest first? Father is simply treating people like cattle and horses!"

Gao Dali was already used to Li Changfeng's words like tigers and wolfs, but Li Chengye on the side was secretly startled, even he didn't dare to say such obvious complaints.

"This old slave pays homage to His Royal Highness the First Prince, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince!"

After finishing the ceremony, Gao Dali looked at Li Changfeng and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Ninth Prince should go see His Majesty first, and it will not be too late to come back to rest."

"Let's go then."

Li Changfeng complained helplessly, and looked at Li Chengye: "Brother Emperor, let's meet again some other day!"

Li Chengye nodded: "It's okay, brother, you should go see father first."

"Okay, then I'll go first."

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

Seeing Li Changfeng's leaving back, Li Chengye felt helpless.

If Gao Dali hadn't come suddenly, he would have found out more detailed information.

However, after the last conversation with the country's uncle Murong Changkong, he is no longer so attached to this secret, and the main purpose of coming this time is to make friends with Li Changfeng.

On the way, Li Changfeng took out a stack of bank notes and stuffed them into Gao Dali's hands like a conjuring act, and said with a chuckle, "I said, Lao Gao, what's the matter with Father summoning me in such a hurry?"

Gao Dali did not refuse this time, put away the bank notes calmly, and said in a low voice: "Isn't it because His Highness repelled an astonishing number of beast hordes, His Majesty is very interested in this, and wants to hear you explain clearly. "

Li Changfeng chuckled and said, "There's nothing to say about it, isn't it because of the artillery, Lao Gao, you know that Baishi City also has artillery."

Gao Dali glanced at Li Changfeng and said with a smile, "Your Highness, could it be that Huangfu also has your artillery?"

Hearing this, Li Changfeng knew that he didn't give away the money in vain. Gao Dali was tantamount to reminding 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 the truth from Emperor Ganwu, so he shook his head and denied, "Where did the artillery come from in the barren mansion? I just improved the gunpowder used to blow up Liyu Mountain to blow away evil beasts. In Baishi City War, this thing also played a big role, in the final analysis it is still gunpowder."

Gao Dali did not doubt that he was there, and said with a smile: "Your Highness really..."

After thinking for a while, Gao Dali couldn't think of any particularly suitable words of praise, so he said, "You're so smart!"
