Chapter 132: Keeping the Enemy Alive



Qin Wan didn't care about it: "Mother, I am very happy now."

Qin Xie looked at her daughter. Although her face was tired, her eyes were sparkling. She ignored her and just said, "Don't tire yourself out."

"Okay." Qin Wan nodded.

In the evening, the Qin family gathered together to roast venison.

Of course, one fawn was not enough for the Qin family to eat, so Qin Zhan bought two more fawns and a sheep with his own money, and added other meat to make it enough to eat.

After Qin Wan rested for a night, she received something delivered from outside.

A magnifying glass.

Qin Wan looked at the magnifying glass and remembered the telescope that Bai Wanyi had made in her previous life.

She recalled the principle of the telescope, drew a sketch and asked someone to give it to the glass workshop, asking them to make some parts as soon as possible. She wanted to try to see if she could make it herself.

As for the question of whether he had been stealing Bai Wanyi's things or plagiarizing her ideas, etc.

Qin Wan didn't think so. At least, Bai Wanyi's things were obtained from somewhere else and were not hers.

What's more, they were enemies and fought each other to the death in the previous life. What morals and etiquette are they still concerned about now?

Let’s talk about it after we can defeat the other party.

Qin Wan only received a magnifying glass, but Xie Qing received a telescope and a periscope.

The periscope is simple to make, and Bai Wanyi generously provided the production method.

The telescope is gone.

Bai Wanyi stood atop the tallest restaurant in the capital, pointing to the distant mountains and saying, "This isn't the most sophisticated telescope. The most sophisticated ones can see things thousands of miles away. The eight-fold scope I mentioned earlier can even be mounted on a firearm. As long as the firearm's range is within reach, it can still take the enemy's head from thousands of miles away."

Xie Qing used a telescope to look at the rolling hills in the distance. Even though he couldn't see every leaf on the hill, he could clearly see the rolling hills and the figures at the foot of the hill.

In his previous life, Xie Qing had never seen this before. He couldn't let it go: "Name a price."

Bai Wanyi smiled gently: "If you like it, I will make it for you in any amount you want. What are you talking about money? It hurts the relationship between you and me to mention money."

"How can we be hurt by our feelings?" Xie Qing saw Master Du standing on tiptoe to see, so he gave him the telescope.

Prince Du hurriedly looked into the distance, shouting "Wow" and "Wow" continuously.

Bai Wanyi looked at Xie Qing's indifferent expression and didn't understand what he was thinking. Don't all men want to expand their territory?

She can't make an AK, nor can she make a 98K, but current firearms combined with high-powered telescopes are also rare weapons.

Bai Wanyi really didn't believe that he wasn't moved: "Don't you think the prince likes this?"

"Should I like it?" Xie Qing leaned forward slightly and looked at Bai Wanyi: "Whatever I like, the emperor will definitely find it for me. Although I am not a qualified crown prince, I am a son that the emperor loves."

The two of them were not close to each other, but Bai Wanyi could clearly see his thick and long eyelashes. Her breathing suddenly stopped, and she began to feel inexplicably nervous and guilty.

Bai Wanyi didn't know why she felt guilty, but she felt an urge ready to burst out. She subconsciously licked her lips twice and stammered, "But, but I..."

She suddenly stepped back, out of the range of Xie Qing's shadow, and her mind became clearer.

Bai Wanyi took two deep breaths of fresh air, her mind racing. She had received protection from the Fourth Prince, and now she wanted double insurance.

It is a double insurance that can make you rich and prosperous for life.

To ensure that the crown prince ascends to the throne, he will not be implicated by the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, let alone the Fourth Prince.

What's more, Xie Qing is so handsome and his background must be tailor-made for him. Bai Wanyi is sure that if he helps him to get to the top, he will definitely be the white moonlight and cinnabar mole in his heart.

Which woman, which woman who reads novels, doesn’t have a dream of being the heroine?

Bai Wanyi was convinced that since she had the fate to travel to this world, she must be the protagonist of this world, the chosen girl, and the destined person to be the male protagonist of this world.

Thinking of this, Bai Wanyi's eyes were firm, his back unconsciously straightened, and his whole body was filled with an inexplicable aura: "But, Your Majesty is the emperor after all. They say that there is no father and son in the royal family. Now you are still His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but what about the future? What if one day you are no longer?"

"Are your brothers willing to be inferior to others? If your Highness has not made any achievements for a long time, do your ministers really believe in you? As long as your Highness hands over this telescope, it will be considered your invention. This is your political achievement and your merit."

"With the firearms I gave Your Highness, paired with this telescope, whenever there's a bit of fighting at the border, Your Highness can go there and shoot down a few enemy generals, and you'll easily earn yourself a great achievement. Wouldn't your position as Crown Prince be that much more secure then?"

Bai Wanyi believed that he had thought things through and had a long-term plan.

Xie Qing smiled. "Marquis Pingyang has guarded Wuguan for eight years, repeatedly repelling the Northern Di and pacifying the Western Regions. The border between the two regions is now peaceful. The Xianbei in the northeast, the Eastern Wu in the east, and the southern and southwest regions of Nanjiang and the Qiang are all on good terms with our Great Zhou."

"There hasn't been war in years. If your words were to get out, wouldn't it be like Marquis Pingyang is hoping to take advantage of the chaos to establish his own achievements? He's stepping on the flesh and blood of the people to rise to power?"

Xie Qing narrowed his eyes as he spoke, a hint of murderous intent on his face. "Marquis Pingyang's career in the capital is not going well. Is he thinking of returning to the border? I remember that some people in the previous dynasty were raising bandits to protect themselves. Could Marquis Pingyang be thinking the same thing?"

"When the time comes, take advantage of the chaos of war and return to the border to perform meritorious service, and then let me go with you. Then, if you embezzle military funds again, can you put the blame on me?"

Embezzlement of military funds is a serious crime and a sword hanging over the head of Marquis Pingyang. Your Majesty does not pursue it, which shows that Your Majesty is kind and remembers the Marquis Pingyang's eight years of military service.

If Your Majesty investigates, the embezzlement of military funds can be punished by beheading and confiscation of property.

No matter how reluctant Bai Wanyi was, or how obtuse his mind was about the etiquette of this era, he subconsciously knelt down and said, "I didn't mean that, and neither did the Marquis of Pingyang. I was simply considering His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has been late in attending court and has a bad reputation among the officials. Many have suggested deposing him and appointing someone else. Isn't Your Highness anxious?"

Xie Qing lowered his eyes and looked at Bai Wanyi. This woman was always sharp-sighted in political affairs and always hit the nail on the head.

Prince Du was also stunned when he heard this. How could a woman have such foresight?

How could you be so clear about the prince’s current predicament?

Or is this what Marquis Pingyang meant?

Marquis Pingyang was unwilling to be tied to the Fourth Prince, so he sent his wife out for a walk, openly following the Fourth Prince but secretly trying to get close to the Crown Prince.

In this way, no matter who comes to power, the wealth and prosperity of the Marquis' Mansion can be guaranteed.
