This weapon was so tempting. Pei Yuan saw the power of gunpowder and really wanted to use it on the battlefield.
But his wife was right about one thing.
If weapons like gunpowder appear on the battlefield, Liangzhou will never have peace again.
Everyone will be staring at the gunpowder in Liangzhou and want to get it.
It's obvious that you can't grab it, but the destructive means behind the scenes will make it hard to guard against.
However, one thing Lin Jiao did not expect was to frighten them so that they would not dare to use gunpowder.
His wife is still too kind after all.
"Your Majesty, the Thirteenth Prince is here."
Xuanfeng's voice sounded from the door.
"I know, let him wait for me in the front hall."
After Pei Yuan finished speaking, he entered the space after Xuanfeng left.
Lin Jiao had already made the tea and was about to call Pei Yuan, but Pei Yuan came in unexpectedly.
Pei Yuan took Lin Jiao out of the Lingquan Pool, gently dried her hair with his internal power, and then took her out of the room and let Lin Jiao lie down on the kang.
"Zhao Qing is here. I'll go out and take a look. You can rest first."
After covering Lin Jiao with a quilt, Pei Yuan turned around and walked out.
Lin Jiao stopped him, "Is Zhao Qing here to quell the chaos?"
Now that the border has been stabilized, Northern Xinjiang's vitality has been greatly damaged this time, and it will definitely not cause trouble to Liangzhou again in a short time. Zhao Qing's visit to Pei Yuan at this time must be to quell the chaos.
Pei Yuan stopped and turned to look at Lin Jiao.
"Don't worry, even if we have to quell the chaos, it's not now."
Liangzhou is now short of food and clothing, and the refugees have not been resettled. It is impossible for Pei Yuan to help Zhao Qing quell the chaos now.
Walking to the front hall, Pei Yuan had just entered the door when he saw Zhao Qing, who had been sitting, immediately stood up.
Zhao Qing was followed by several of his confidants.
"I have met the prince."
The confidants around Zhao Qing saluted Pei Yuan.
"Sir, you don't need to be polite."
After Pei Yuan finished speaking, he also saluted Zhao Qing.
How dare Zhao Qing accept Pei Yuan's courtesy? He quickly came over and stopped Pei Yuan's movements, "Brother and I don't have to worry about these false gifts.
I came here today to ask my brother for help with something."
Hearing this, Pei Yuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhao Qing's confidants.
Zhao Qing has matured a lot in recent times, and his words and deeds have become more profound, and he has some shadows of the old emperor.
"I wonder what the Thirteenth Prince wants to ask me for?"
Pei Yuan sat down, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip.
The tea was a bit bitter, which made him frown dissatisfied.
This water is not as good as the boiled water his wife boiled on the way to escape.
Xiao Qing looked at Pei Yuan's movements and couldn't guess what Pei Yuan was thinking. He could only glance at the confidants beside him.
It was these people who asked him to come, so he should let them speak.
"Why don't you speak?"
Seeing that Zhao Qing didn't speak, Pei Yuan looked at Mr. Liu next to Zhao Qing.
"Since it is difficult for the Thirteenth Prince to speak, these adults are here with the Thirteenth Prince. They must know something, so why don't we tell them."
The people behind Zhao Qing looked at me and I looked at you. They were all a little afraid of Pei Yuan, and for a moment they didn't know how to speak.
Pei Yuan is different from the previous King Liang. Pei Yuan has a deep mind and is really unpredictable.
Moreover, Pei Yuan does everything based on his preference. He is smiling with you one second, but he might kill you the next second.
"What's wrong?"
Pei Yuan put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the people in front of him, "Don't you know why the Thirteenth Prince came to me?"
"us……"
Master Liu opened his mouth, but after seeing Pei Yuan's sharp gaze, he swallowed back what he originally wanted to say.
"Um?"
Pei Yuan looked at Lord Liu.
"hehe!"
Mr. Liu met Pei Yuan's gaze and showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do. The Thirteenth Prince, Your Majesty, I have to take my leave first."
"Master Liu, how can you leave?"
The few people who followed Zhao Qing glared angrily at Mr. Liu who was about to leave.
How could this person do this?
He actually sold them.
Mr. Liu didn't even look at these people and ran faster than a rabbit.
"Where are the remaining adults?"
Pei Yuan looked at the others.
"We also have something to do, so we'll go back today."
Mr. Liu has left, what are they doing here?
Zhao Qing: "..."
These people encouraged him to find Pei Yuan, but they themselves ran away first.
After everyone was gone, Pei Yuan looked at Zhao Qing.
The Thirteenth Prince can tell himself, what do you want to ask me for?"
Liangzhou is now Pei Yuan's territory. After the death of King Liang, all the remaining power of King Liang has been controlled by Pei Yuan.
The power that the old emperor left to Zhao Qing could no longer touch any rights and interests in Liangzhou, and was completely emptied of power.
Zhao Qing is really temporarily living in Liangzhou now, and the quality of his treatment depends entirely on Pei Yuan's mood.
"What can I do? It's all those idiots who encouraged me to ask you to quell the chaos."
With the person gone, Zhao Qing no longer had to pretend, and sat directly next to Pei Yuan, complaining aggrievedly.
"Brother, if you can't help it, just drive those people out of Liangzhou. They are completely harming me by being around me."
Those people always want to drive a wedge between him and Pei Yuan.
While talking about asking Pei Yuan for help, he also asked him to guard against Pei Yuan and kill him when he was done with it.
Zhao Qing would definitely not do such a thing.
Because he knew very well that Pei Yuan had no ambition to become emperor.
Pei Yuan gave him a disgusted look, "If you can't even handle them, then what qualifications do you have to sit in your current position?"
"You have to know that your future path will be a thousand or ten thousand times more difficult than it is now. Sitting in that position, you are destined to be lonely. No one can always help you.
To forge iron, you have to be tough yourself.”
If Zhao Qing can't stand up on his own, it's useless for anyone to help him.
Zhao Qing was not angry even after being scolded. He knew that what Pei Yuan said was for his own good.
"What now?"
Zhao Qing asked, "I don't think now is a good time to quell the chaos."
"Since you know that now is not a good time to calm down the chaos, then deal with the few people around you and don't let them bother me."
After Pei Yuan finished speaking, he stood up and left.
Zhao Qing pouted, don't think he doesn't know, Pei Yuan just doesn't want to quell the chaos now, he just wants to live intoxicated and dreamy in Sister Jiaojiao's gentle hometown.
After Pei Yuan left, Zhao Qing also left Pei Yuan's mansion.
Master Liu and others said they were leaving, but in fact they had been waiting outside for Zhao Qing.
Seeing Zhao Qing coming out, Mr. Liu and others immediately surrounded him.
"Thirteenth Prince, how are things going?"
Master Liu asked anxiously.
"How about what?"
Zhao Qing looked at Mr. Liu with a somewhat unhappy tone.
"I said now is not a good time to quell the chaos. You insisted that I come to Pei Yuan. What's the result?"
