Chapter 856: Plum Garden
After Xu Qing left, Prince Zhou walked in, looked at the empty seats beside him, and asked knowingly, "Where are the other two?"
Lou Lan Wang said: "Let's go."
Prince Zhou said: "The people of Chu are like this. They rely on their own force to be arrogant and arrogant. King Loulan doesn't need to be as knowledgeable as them!"
King Loulan agreed deeply, "It's just..."
Prince Zhou looked at King Loulan and said, "Don't pay attention to them! It's not up to the people of Chu to act wildly in our Zhou territory! No matter how strong Chu is, they are still outsiders. We are a family, so it's not his turn to deal with us. The state of Chu made gossip, especially that Xu Qing hooked up with Mingyue because of his life-saving grace, it is so annoying! Loulan King will go to the plum garden with Mingyue Huangmei tomorrow to enjoy the plum blossoms, women are sometimes Some means must be used."
Loulan said kingly, "After all, she is His Majesty's princess, how dare I be so tough?"
Prince Zhou said with a smile: "This statement is wrong. Since the father is willing to betroth Mingyue to you, it is naturally you, not Princess Mingyue, who value you more. It is the best example if the father does not go into the details today. Princess Mingyue is just the emperor. To put it bluntly, the bright moon is a thread that connects Loulan and Zhou. If Zhou Guo and Loulan are heart-to-heart, it is important that this thread is not complete. ?"
"As the saying goes, brothers are like siblings, and women are like clothes. My state of Zhou and Loulan are a country of brothers. Father naturally understands this truth. I don't think I need to say more about whether siblings are more important or clothes are more important?"
Half an hour later, in the palace
Where Li Xun lives
Li Xun kneaded the paper in his hands into a ball, his eyes were ferocious: "Prince! King Loulan! You are really damned!"
Wu Xuan who was standing aside said, "My lord, calm down."
Li Xun asked: "How is the preparation?"
Wu Xuan opened his mouth and said: "The minister and the generals of the other two guards have deduced several times. I am afraid that there is not enough time to break through the imperial city before dawn, unless we find another way."
Li Xun heard the meaning behind Wu Xuan's words: "You mean firearms?"
Wu Xuan opened his mouth and said: "Reporting to the Lord, only with the help of sharp weapons like firearms is it possible to break through the gate of the imperial city with miraculous effects."
Originally, siege warfare was almost all besieged and trapped, and then siege equipment was built to attack the city.
It is considered fast to capture a city in half a month!
Although the military strength in the imperial city is definitely far from that of ordinary state cities, there is a serious shortage of troops.
But the problem is that the soldiers inside don't have to stick to it for half a month. They only need to guard for one night, and the forbidden army outside the city can lead their troops to attack.
If there is no power of firearms, it is basically impossible to capture the imperial city overnight, if no miracle happens.
However, Zhou Guo's firearms were only equipped to the imperial army, and were not distributed to the twelve guards of the capital at all.
The duty of the imperial army is to guard the imperial city, and they basically guard the palace city.
The place is not big, and there is no need for any firearms at all, maybe it will blow up your own people.
And if all the imperial guards in the capital were killed by the enemy, even if the twelve guards had firearms, it would be useless.
Still have to finish playing.
If it is equipped, it is worried about rebellion, but if it is not, it will reduce expenses, so there is no assembly at all.
The same is true for the Twelve Guards of Chu State.
But now if they want to take down the imperial city overnight, they must have the power that the guards of the imperial city do not have in order to catch them by surprise!
No one's hand can reach into the Forbidden Army under His Majesty's personal charge, and Li Xun is no exception.
It is absolutely impossible to get firearms through the Forbidden Army, and Zhou Guo's gunpowder formula is extremely strict...
If there is no firearm, they can only have their people lurking in the imperial city in advance to open the city gate for them.
However, the rotation of guard posts in the night watch in the Imperial City included not only the Imperial Guards, but also other members of the Twelve Guards.
Half a month later, it was Li Xun's turn to inspect the palace.
But Li Xun has no choice but to wait another half a month, and after half a month, Mingyue has already married to Loulan!
After thinking about it for a while, Li Xun said, "I'll figure out a way about the firearms."
Wu Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
next day
When Chen Shi was approaching, Xu Qing walked out from the residence, carrying the firecracker on her waist, and walked out.
Xiao Ye looked at Xu Qing and asked, "Brother Xu is going out?"
Xu Qing said, "I have nothing to do, just walk around."
Xiao Ye said; "It just so happens that I'm going out for a walk too."
After speaking, the two got into the carriage outside the residence together.
Xiao Ye said directly to the coachman, "Go to the Plum Garden."
...
Meiyuanqian
Li Mingyue got off the carriage and looked at King Loulan who was waiting at the gate of the plum garden. Although she was unwilling, she was still slightly blessed under the pressing situation.
She knew that her elder brother was thinking of her wholeheartedly, if she couldn't bear to make a fuss at this time, her elder brother would dare to risk her life to accompany her to make a fuss, and it would cost the lives of two people.
So Li Mingyue had to endure at this time.
King Loulan took off his robe and was about to criticize Li Mingyue: "It's a bit cold today. I heard that the princess has not been in good health since she was a child. You should wear an extra dress..."
Li Mingyue quickly backed away and said, "The bright moon is not cold, so don't worry about it."
King Loulan gritted his teeth when he heard Li Mingyue's words. He had seen Princess Mingyue snuggling in the arms of that wild man back then. Clothes are draped on the body, and now even owning a big cloak is so disgusting...
But this is the main entrance of the Plum Garden, and there are many dignitaries, talented scholars and beauties who come and go to the Plum Garden to enjoy the plum blossoms. Naturally, you can't lose your composure here, or you will lose Loulan's face.
Although the two walked together in the plum garden, Li Mingyue always kept a distance from King Loulan.
The customs of the state of Zhou are not as restrictive as that of the state of Zhao for women, and it is not new for talented men and beautiful women to hold hands and recite poems and have fun.
However, Princess Mingyue, who was visiting the garden with King Loulan, was untouchable, which made King Loulan's teeth itch with hatred.
King Loulan sneered in his heart, and let you, the princess, be arrogant in Zhou Guo for a few more days, and wait until Loulan to see how I deal with you!
Maybe there is no need to go to Loulan, and when there is no man's land, I will let you, a pampered princess, know her methods of being a man from the Western Regions!
Do you still think of yourself as a golden branch and jade leaf?
It can't be said that many private meetings with that wild man have long been a ruined body.
He is the majestic Lord of Loulan who has wronged you by matching you with a broken flower and a defeated willow?
Every time he thinks about this in his heart, King Loulan becomes even more angry.
A remnant flower and a willow willow, just because it is a princess, and the King of Loulan waited ten days to offer her as a concubine. If it was another person, he would have been eaten alive by him!
It is simply a great shame for Loulan!
