After all, Xiao Run didn't want anything, so even if he agreed to keep it secret, he still felt a little unreliable.
Now that Xiao Run asked him to ask for someone, he felt that he was almost settled, so he readily agreed.
And when Xiao Run saw him agreeing so happily, he was relieved. He naturally knew what the Queen meant by giving him that person, and it was just to monitor him.
In this case, he might as well just pretend to be ignorant and think that the queen really wants to send people to protect him. Then he might as well stop worrying about how many more people Xiao Che wants to send.
They don't have to do confidential things, but if they really encounter Japanese pirates or something, they will naturally have to protect themselves.
The two brothers decided that when Xiao Run saw that it was getting late, he would take his leave and go back to the second prince's residence outside the palace.
After returning to the mansion, Xiao Run asked people to arrange a place for Ganlu to live, not far or close to him, because he said he was not a concubine, so he could refuse Ganlu to come to his room to serve him.
Just let her be a female guard.
Xiao Run went straight back to the dormitory, and the people in the room immediately came forward to serve him. He then ordered: "Let someone send a message to Aunt Huang, telling mother and concubine not to worry about me. The queen and eldest brother have already made arrangements. This time
Go, I will never take risks, I will try my best to prevent others from framing me, and I will not directly confront the Japanese pirates."
After hearing the order, the confidants immediately went to the palace to deliver the message.
During the summer flood season, there are many floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many typhoons on the coast, and those Japanese pirates will take advantage of the time after the typhoon when the officials and the people are busy with disaster relief to harass them.
Japanese pirates are cunning and insidious people. They never fight head-on on a large scale, but instead strike when others are unprepared.
They are good at ninjutsu and are cunning and ruthless by nature. They use desperate moves, so the officers and soldiers who suppress the bandits are deeply troubled.
Xiao Xian had also thought about going into battle in person before, but Da Qin did not have a dedicated navy, the warship technology was backward, and it could not meet the requirements in a short period of time, so he put it aside.
Furthermore, there were many people in the imperial court arguing with each other. Due to various conflicts of interests, they never fought the Japanese pirates decisively. This led the Japanese pirates to think that the Qin Dynasty was afraid of them, so they became more rampant and harassed the coastal people from time to time.
They did not go directly to large-scale confrontations between officers and soldiers on land, but instead robbed fishermen at sea and along the coast, causing them great suffering.
If Xiao Xian and Yelu En can solve the problem of Japanese pirates at sea this time, it will be a major event that benefits the country and the people.
Shen Mingzhu fully supports this point. She really wants to go with Xiao Xian. After all, she can ask some constructive questions.
But she didn't expect that the emperor would not let her go, and instead let Xiao Run, the second prince who was of little use in suppressing bandits, go. Could it be that he really didn't trust Xiao Xian and wanted to send someone to keep an eye on him?
?
However, Shen Mingzhu didn't get too entangled. She didn't want to waste time, but took the time to prepare something for Xiao Xian.
For example, weapons suitable for underwater combat such as water spikes, long cones, etc., as well as water props that can reduce resistance in the water and speed up swimming, and even some thunder bombs, signal bombs, explosives, etc. that can be used underwater.
In addition, he asked Hou Shou to mobilize a group of people from among them to form an underwater team, and let them secretly listen to Xiao Xian's instructions to help suppress the Japanese pirates.
These people must have grown up near water since childhood, are familiar with water properties, and can stay underwater for a long time.
