Chapter four hundred and seventy-two new situation
The news that King Huai returned safely spread quickly. Faced with this news, some people were happy and some were sad. The people on King Huai's side and King Hui were happy, but the sad ones were naturally their enemies.
Lin Chong also heard the news and immediately jumped up: "What? King Huai is back? He actually escaped from the tight blockade in the capital? Did he leave any trump cards in the capital? Or maybe someone helped him
he?"
Jonathan was standing next to him, his mind filled with thoughts about the modification of the repeating crossbow that he had not yet completed. He wanted to apply the principles of the repeating crossbow to firearms to create a weapon that was powerful but easy to operate and did not take time.
, I didn’t even hear what he said clearly.
Seeing that Jonathan had no reaction at all, Lin Chong was unhappy: "Hey, Lao Qiao, at least give me a reaction. You are not giving me face. I'm angry."
Jonathan has become accustomed to Lin Chong's childish temper occasionally showing in front of him, so naturally he tolerates it very naturally: "Yes, sir, listen, even if you lend me more courage, I won't dare to refute your emperor's face."
."
Lin Chong was very dissatisfied with his perfunctory: "In that case, would you like to repeat what I just said?" Lin Chong had already discussed with Jonathan and transferred him to the Ministry of War as a minister, so as not to waste his time.
At the same time, it was convenient for him to keep an eye on the guys in the Ministry of War for him.
Jonathan was naturally unhappy at first, but in the end he lost out due to the generous funding conditions and space issues. After arriving in Nanjing, it was not like when he was in the capital. At that time, he had a single-family villa, although the location was a bit remote.
Yes, but fortunately the place is big enough.
But what should he do when there is no such a big place in Nanjing? If he secretly studies these things at home, there is no guarantee that the neighbors will find out that he intends to rebel. Why bother? It is better to accept this official position openly and concentrate on his own research.
Don't worry about others gossiping.
"Well, you just said that it is not easy for King Huai to come back."
"Why is it not a simple method? Why don't you tell me more about it?"
"In my opinion, just like when we escaped from the capital, they had help from experts! I just wonder if King Huai has brought back the mysterious power behind him when he comes back this time?"
"I don't know. I only know that originally it was a good thing that King Hui and King Heng collapsed, as it could disperse their power. I didn't expect that now that this guy comes back, the opponent's strength will not decrease but increase. If I had known, it would be better to let him stay."
Where's Prince Heng?" Lin Chong complained. He originally wanted to disperse them, but he didn't expect to assign Prince Hui to a bigger enemy.
"Don't worry, I think King Huai will not be so hostile when he comes back this time."
"How do you say this?"
"The current situation is that we are not in a hurry and they are in a hurry." Jonathan analyzed; "Our goal is Nanjing. As long as we get to Nanjing, you will still be the emperor, but they are different. Especially King Huai, he was eaten by King Zhou.
How could you just give up after suffering such a big loss?"
"But if he wants to go back, he must have a name. Of course you are the best name."
Lin Chong was noncommittal: "What he thinks is his business. I don't plan to go back to the capital soon. However, the matter of King Zhou cannot be underestimated. We must find a way to solve it."
At the same time, King Huai finally recovered a little after sleeping all night and for a long time. He changed into a set of dry clothes and had something to eat, and then called Xu Kun over to prepare to formally listen to his report.
He didn't care about how King Hui and King Heng quarreled and who gained the upper hand in the end. He only cared about one thing: "Have you ever seen the letter Zhu Youjian wrote to King Hui? It's all written in it.
Order something?”
Xu Kun shook his head: "I'm ashamed, General Hui. King Hui didn't take the initiative to mention it, and I didn't ask more questions. Now the letter is with King Heng. He has several powerful people under him, so the content of the letter is still unknown.
"He sounded very embarrassed.
Prince Huai sighed: "I have also heard of these people. They should be the guys from Angui Tower. The people Prince Rui gave him are naturally difficult to deal with. I'm afraid you won't be able to get hold of them."
"Speaking of King Rui, the prince has been in the capital before. Have you ever paid attention to where the people under King Rui went after his death?" Xu Kun had been thinking about this matter in his heart, so he naturally asked.
"What? King Rui is dead? When did it happen?" King Huai's reaction was completely beyond his expectation.
"You, you don't know?" Xu Kun was not sure now. Their power in the capital was almost completely destroyed. Almost all the information he got was from others. Is there any deviation? Even if
If there was really a deviation, the prince wouldn't be so surprised. Xu Kun was startled by his reaction.
Only Yichen understood why the prince had such a big reaction: "Don't worry, Miss Wen and the others will be lucky and nothing will happen to them."
"Miss Wen?" Xu Kun was stunned again. What happened to the prince when he didn't know it? Why did a girl Wen come out? She hasn't come back with the prince yet? There must be some story.
Xu Kun looked curious without revealing anything, and kept gesturing to Yi Chen with his eyes. Yi Chen glared at him angrily, and continued to comfort the worried Prince Huai: "If something really happens to Miss Wen,
It must be a big deal, but we haven’t heard anything about it along the way, which means nothing big happened.”
Prince Huai sighed: "No matter what the situation is, I can't do anything about it, but I owe her a favor. If we can meet again..." He didn't say the specific details, but Yi Chen could hear the tone in his voice.
of helplessness.
"Let's go on, if King Rui dies, then Mo Feng will naturally take over the forces under him, but Mo Feng is unlikely to participate in the government, so it is self-evident what he will do.
Already."
"What the prince means is that Mo Feng will bring Prince Rui's people to find Prince Heng?" Xu Kun followed Prince Huai's train of thought.
King Huai nodded, this was the most likely possibility. After all, King Rui cherished his younger brother, so it was not surprising that he would leave him the power to protect himself.
"The prince's intention was also guessed by the general. The general thought that the prince would meet them on the road."
"If we really came to see Prince Heng, then even if we didn't meet him on the road, the day when we meet is not far away." I'm afraid that the situation will be reshuffled by then. The reason why he still keeps it until now
King Hui also had the intention of using him to test the emperor's will.
