Chapter 203 Temporary Residence

On the third day after receiving this treasure, he couldn't wait to announce his ascension to the throne...

However, the good times did not last long for the new emperor. On the eighth day after he ascended the throne, he was hit directly by a sword flying from the sky. He died on the dragon throne on the spot, and his dynasty, which had not yet been stabilized, was also destroyed.

Following this palace tragedy, the conflict between King Ming and King Chen escalated again, and it seemed that the war would never end.

After considering all the above background information, Zhao Chunhua felt extremely fortunate that she did not have to take the risk of going to the capital.

He then nodded in agreement without hesitation, and highly affirmed the seemingly insignificant but crucial decision conveyed by Zhang Zhan.

Then she immediately plunged into the intense and orderly work, and cooperated with the people arranged by Zhang Zhan to start preparing all the materials needed next, such as saltpeter, sulfur, lime and other raw materials, making full preparations for possible changes that might occur next.

In fact, Zhao Chunhua didn't have to make things like cement and explosives herself.

The manufacturing process of these things is tedious and time-consuming, and she has no intention of getting involved in this field herself.

Fortunately, she already had some ready-made in her space, and the quantity was quite considerable, and she had stored them properly.

Asking King Chen to look for materials is just a show to avoid arousing suspicion.

In the next few days, Zhang Zhan's attitude suddenly changed and his tone became more and more urgent. He kept urging Zhao Chunhua to make weapons to deal with the enemy as soon as possible - the kind of deadly thing that could kill hundreds or thousands of people when thrown out.

Zhao Chunhua sensitively noticed the difference.

This unusual behavior made her suspicious, perhaps things were not developing as smoothly as she expected.

So she secretly went to her brother Zhao Yuannian to inquire about the news.

As expected, an astonishing secret was learned from Zhao Yuannian: it turned out that before the emperor became ill, he had given his favorite concubine Murong Xue an army and stationed it on Liuyun Mountain, sixty miles outside the capital.

When hearing this

After hearing the news, King Chen was instantly enveloped by not only shock but also anger.

Faced with such a sudden threat, without any hesitation, he immediately led his army straight to Liuyun Mountain.

But unexpectedly, the result of this war surprised everyone - King Ming's troops showed a stronger combat capability than expected, and ended up defeating King Chen's troops that came to attack them.

After hearing these words, even Zhao Chunhua, who was always calm and composed, couldn't help but frown.

"It seems that His Majesty has long intended to let Murong Xue take over the power...

What's worse is that this person is very good at manipulating people and winning people's hearts. I'm afraid it will be much more troublesome to deal with him than to deal with the current King Chen."

She slowly expressed her inner worries.

Zhao Yuannian nodded in agreement with his sister's judgment. "Your opinion is very accurate. In addition, I also have an important situation to tell you. Because you chose to support Prince Chen in fighting against Murong Xue and the forces behind him, you have completely angered the Ming Prince faction. Now they hate you to the core."

Zhao Chunhua sneered coldly, with a cold light flashing in her eyes.

"So, the situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable to us. Since the other party is already prepared to deal with us, there is no reason to continue delaying. It is time to let King Chen see the results and let him know our value, so that we can exchange for a more stable cooperative relationship and protection."

However, Zhao Yuannian, who was standing aside at this time, seemed a little worried: "Sister Jing, you are not really planning to give that crucial formula to King Chen to use, are you? If it really has the powerful power as the legend says, wouldn't that directly cultivate an extremely difficult opponent for us?"

Hearing this, Zhao Chunhua rolled her eyes.

"Please, I'm not that stupid, okay? Don't worry, no one will know about this except me."

However, facing such an answer, Zhao Yuannian kept shaking his head, "Sister, what I mean is, what if King Chen doesn't have the patience to wait until then? After all, the initiative is not in our hands..."

In response, Zhao Chunhua just smiled gently, with a firm and confident light flashing in her eyes.

"You don't have to worry about this problem. Everything is under control. I have my own plan."

It turned out that Zhao Yuannian was really a complete jinx. Just two days after he said this, Zhang Zhan appeared at Zhao's house again, and brought someone with him.

"Miss Song, this is Chen Xun from the capital. He came here mainly to convey the prince's instructions."

As soon as Zhang Zhan finished speaking, he pointed at the burly, serious-looking old man beside him.

Although the man was already in his fifties or sixties, his eyes revealed a sharp look, as if nothing could escape his insight. It was obvious at first glance that he was not the kind of person who could be easily dealt with.

Seeing Zhang Zhan's respectful attitude towards him, Zhao Chunhua immediately had an idea and guessed that this person might be an important confidant trusted by Prince Chen.

As expected, after a quick look, the man named Chen Xun immediately spoke and conveyed King Chen's original words. His words were full of arrogance, as if he felt he was standing on a commanding height.

"The prince said that if Miss Song can't come up with anything that can impress others, then he will have to take some necessary measures, and these measures may have a significant impact on your previous friendship."

What made Zhao Chunhua even more angry was the following paragraph: "This time, if there is still nothing substantial to show us, then I can only follow the instructions given by the prince and take some of your family members to the capital for house arrest first. We can talk about releasing them after everything is settled."

Faced with such arrogant and threatening words from the other party, although Zhao Chunhua was extremely angry in her heart, she remained calm on the surface.

"Please be at ease, sir. You may stay at your house for two days and come back to check when the time comes."

Zhao Chunhua answered in a calm but firm voice, as if she was not affected at all by the sudden situation.

Time always flies like an arrow, and soon the agreed day arrived.

In order to welcome this distinguished guest, Zhang Zhan carefully prepared a suitable place for the demonstration based on Zhao Chunhua's previous arrangements.

This long-forgotten training ground can be put to use at this moment.

When all the preparations were completed, Zhao Chunhua ordered the servants to move the two huge boxes that had been hidden in the warehouse to the central open area.

At this moment, the self-righteous Chen Xun had already sat firmly on the viewing stand.
