Chapter 481 Preparations
Chapter 481 Preparation
The news brought back by An Long and Yuan Zhi surprised Emperor Shun. He never thought that Gu Yue was so easy to talk to, but there were most of them frauds.
But he is the king of a country, and he always has people who specialize in this way. Otherwise, he will not be able to maintain his peace for a long time.
What surprised him even more was that his youngest son actually volunteered to go there for a while.
This action made the court and the public a little restless. After all, the youngest prince is also a prince, and it is the border between Shunchu, and accidents may occur anytime and anywhere, not to mention that Tang Wentian is nearby, and no one can really pat his chest to ensure the safety of the little prince.
"Father, sirs, we established our country through forging. No one has ever abandoned this ingenuity from grandfather to father. What is the purpose of the forge? Isn't it just a thousand-trial? As long as we do not change our original intention, we judge the situation and persevere, we will eventually have the best products in our hearts.
Of course, we cannot intrigue with those alchemists with seven orifices, especially Gu Yue, who is the best among them, but what are we looking for? Isn’t it the most persistent pursuit? The rare minerals that the soldiers have worked hard to get back are idle because they cannot be smelted. This is a big event that shames the forging masters of Dashun!
Now, Gu Yue may be a breakthrough, of course, not, but you can try it out, right? Erchen is not only the son of his father, but also a forge with pursuit and expectations. Even if this trip is dangerous, the more this happens, will it reflect Dashun's sincerity? It can also show the original intentions of each forge?
My son dared to recommend himself, and there is no regret for this trip!"
I have to say that such a speech is really touching, especially the saying "thousands of tempering" refers to forging, and understanding may not be forging.
Emperor Shun was very satisfied. His youngest son was really like his back then...
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, please forgive me for your frankness. Chen Qifeng of Chen was still detained in Chu and was not let go, and the Emperor of Chu offered a very huge price..."
This matter has been a while. Although the infiltration between countries may not be omnipresent, it is unlikely that Chen Qifeng will really hide it if he fights in person.
Now some ministers specifically reminded him that the little prince is not reckless. After all, if he is caught for a moment of impulse, he will have to pay the money!
"I also know that. Although I can't understand all the details, Chen Qifeng was not specially caught by Gu Yue and sent back. This can still be confirmed. After all, Gu Yue married Murong Di from Chen State, so Chen Qifeng is his elder brother-in-law. As for the bidding numbers of Emperor Chu, these are not too surprising, right? That person's mind has never been the only one day, so how can he throw away the fat he got at will?
However, this time, Shisan negotiated with Dashun and me with sincerity. I think that Gu Yue is not a thief. After all, he is thinking about opening his "table" in various countries, right? I haven't agreed yet!"
The Thirteenth Prince was a little overjoyed. His father's implication was already an answer to him. Although this matter was indeed dangerous, it was also his own opportunity. Others would be afraid of Tang Wentian and think that he was a beast. But if he was afraid of him and he would not even have the courage to meet him, how could he protect Dashun?
He couldn't help but sigh that this time he must have been the right bet, and that gentleman's statement really makes sense.
Since Emperor Shun had spoken, all civil and military officials no longer cared about it. Those who were interested had already started to think about the past and about. After all, as important officials, it was their duty to share the worries for the king, and it was not them who made the decision.
In case of a conflict really breaking out, there must be a follow-up plan.
What's more, the Thirteenth Highness is not the master he follows...
The same news has spread far away.
The people in the Changsun family who were responsible for monitoring the military camp of the Grand Prince of Chu reported Gu Yue's whereabouts early. After all, An Long and Yuan Zhi made such a big noise and could not be seen by them.
With this clear purpose, subsequent exploration will have directions.
The people of the Changsun family first tried to find out through Changsun Yu's attempt at Huangfu Zhongxiao, and at the same time contacted the black market forces in Shunguo, hoping to get some support, such as what An Long and Yuan Zhi were going to do after they returned.
The dispersion of these messages may be difficult in the eyes of others, but a huge and complex organization like the "black market" is just a daily life.
Just like the "shopkeeper" before Chen State, he was accustomed to monitoring every small part of Chendu, the "shopkeeper" in Shunguo's territory would not be too relaxed.
Soon, the news that the Thirteenth Prince of Shunguo had left the city himself reached the border faster than he himself.
"A prince is here? What are you going to do?"
"It is said that it is obsessed with forging, hoping that Gu Yue will melt a special mineral for them."
"You can get a problem wherever Gu Yue goes... But that's fine. The intervention of Shun people will definitely muddle the water! When we take advantage of the troubled waters, we may have unexpected gains... If we let the prince be imprisoned or die directly at Gu Yue's hands, it will be much more useful than destroying those dead objects!"
The head of the Changsun family set his own small goal. Although his subordinates were very nervous, they did not have many choices at this moment. Even though Tang Wentian, whom he didn't want to see the least, was always wandering there, but he still had to do what he should do, otherwise he would be despicable to live!
Soon, An Long and Yuan Zhi arrived at the border in advance. They needed to make a notice. After all, the appointment with Gu Yue was a whole day, so we can't expect the Thirteenth Prince to be as fast as he is, right?
And one more important thing they need to do is to be responsible for the safety here.
In other words, they became security personnel directly.
"Oh, what's this called..."
"Since you come, you will be at ease, you always think too much."
An Long actually envies Yuan Zhi very much. He can focus on practicing swordsmanship, but isn’t this guy responsible for everything he doesn’t bear?
But he had no complaints. He was a great and surrendered person and was deeply grateful to the emperor. What's the harm in putting some effort into it? Yuan Zhi is more direct than himself. If something happened, he would probably stand in front of the prince as soon as possible.
"It's easy to say anything else. In addition to us, there are also guards and masters in the palace. If the Chu people did not attack, they would be shocked by Tang Wentian's reputation. Then we would be very relaxed, but what we fear most is that the Chu people suddenly take action, and we probably can only sacrifice our country for their lives..."
"You should have thought too much about this. Although Gu Yue cannot see through it, it is even more difficult to understand, but he is not the kind of reckless man who will do everything for the sake of immediate interests. As His Majesty said, Gu Yue wants a 'tiao' that is located in various countries and circulated. If he attacks here, he will no longer have a chance. Moreover, the man in Shun Kingdom is not a coward. If His Thirteenth Highness is captured, he will never be willing to be a hostage and wait for redemption!"
An Long was a little surprised, but also agreed. Perhaps Yuan Zhi's straightforward people could see more clearly, right? Of course, it was mainly because he trusted His Majesty very much, and naturally his Majesty's judgment.
"Then do you think we should say to Gu Yue in advance? If he said that, he might have time to prepare. If he didn't say that, he would probably feel that we were insincere."
"You always have your ideas and I will do my business, and this time there is no exception."
An Long smiled, "Yes... am I too nervous? Alas, it's a bit unnatural to hear the three words Tang Wentian."
"Actually, I want to fight him. Even if I can't beat him, I have to know what the difference is."
That’s right, this is the quality that martial artists should have. The way of martial arts is endless, isn’t it just a challenge one by one?
An Long no longer hesitated and signaled Yuan Zhi to follow, and the two of them came back to Chuhe again.
However, this time they didn't need to shout anymore. There were soldiers waiting on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. When the border troops of Chu saw a master flying over, they began to ask. After getting the results, they went to repay them directly.
Of course, Gu Yue didn't need to come again this time, he just conveyed some information.
"The Thirteenth Prince of Shun Kingdom? So many Emperor Shun has given birth to this one?!"
Gu Yue’s focus was on this, which made everyone speechless.
"Ahem... it's mainly an accident. Our Majesty doesn't have so many sons, and His Majesty Chen doesn't have them either. Does Emperor Shun marry a lot of wives? Forget it, don't ask, don't ask..."
Feeling several gazes that hit the soul, Gu Yue immediately chose to admit defeat.
"What kind of person is this prince? How old is he? What do you like on weekdays? Have you received the news?"
"The person sent to the question has not yet heard back the news. I really have no impression of the Thirteenth Prince. I just heard that he is the youngest son of Emperor Shun and should not be very old."
Gu Yue knew that communication in this era basically relied on roar. If you want to get first-hand information, you have to have a very complicated intelligence network. Even President Shangguan is unlikely to know about a little prince who doesn't show up. He still has to ask for advice on this matter, Huangfu Bozhong.
Of course, Gu Yue was also surprised. Is this Shun Chinese so generous? Are you not worried about sending this little prince directly? You should know that Chen Qifeng is still lying in Chu Duo to breathe... But you can't just say this. Even if Murong Di and Tian Guang don't care, Quanzang will care, because taking Chen Qifeng back is his mission, and he is very concerned about Chen Qifeng.
So Gu Yue decided to wait for the news from Huangfu Bozhong first, and the little prince would not set off too quickly, so he would not have to breathe when he flew up like a great master of the Heavenly Level.
But there must be preparations for it, because Gu Yue doesn't want to cause trouble, and he expects that someone knows he doesn't want it, so someone will definitely interfere.
He was not worried that Tang Wentian would run to take the person back to Chudu again. After all, this time Tang Jihuang was not in Shunguo, but the "black market" that secretly caused trouble would not stop. You should know that something happened in this matter was much better than demolishing several unfinished buildings.
However, Gu Yue still couldn't get the attitude of Emperor Shun, especially whether Shunguo had nothing to do with Murong Di's parents back then. Who can guarantee that such seemingly sincere behavior would not be overwhelming? So you have to make more preparations and make every decision after making up your mind...
