Chapter 14 Three Secret Guards
14
After a lot of chaos, the prince finally took the initiative to step forward and used clever words to guide the young general to split the box open.
Finally, I successfully obtained several pieces of honeycomb coal and a technique on how to make honeycomb coal adhesive.
The prince looked excited, and was about to tell the emperor that he wanted to conduct an experiment on honeycomb coal.
At this moment, Yuanruan's inner voice was filled with confusion:
[I always feel that my brother and nephew are not people who can be easily fooled. How could they believe the words in the treasure chest? Moreover, they just experienced an assassination incident. It is a bit too coincidental. ]
Prince: ...
His words suddenly got stuck in his throat.
The system said: [It is a bit of a coincidence, but you are the humanoid Great Xia national destiny! Isn't it normal to have a little luck? Besides, they are experimenting with a box. If it fails, it will just waste some time. If it succeeds, it will increase the strength of Great Xia.]
[Yes, that's right. Why would a baby like me think so much? I'm going to sleep now.]
The emperor and the prince looked at each other.
The prince held out his hand, but the emperor said, "It's getting dark. You go ahead. I'll take Ah Ruan back to rest first."
The prince was stunned. He looked at the emperor holding Yuan Ruan and patting his back gently, and then the figure went away. He couldn't help but complain again: Is this still my father who reviewed 300 kilograms of memorials every day?
…
…
Yuanruan slept soundly for a long time.
When she woke up, the system kept telling her good news.
[Host, the prince has successfully received the honeycomb coal, and he is very appreciative of it. He has also led the craftsmen to make adhesives overnight.]
[Although the emperor did not find that the handprint on the treasure chest was related to you, he also believed that he had good fortune after meeting you, so he specially ordered to give you 300 households. Hahaha, host, you can collect commissions every year in the future. ]
[Host, your contribution has not been buried, that's great! Sprinkle flowers! ]
The emperor, who walked in after opening the tent, just heard these words.
I really agree with this.
The system is right. Whoever brings the benefits deserves the credit, and she deserves it all.
The emperor was still a little hesitant, wondering if these yellow and white things would please the little goddess in heaven. How about exchanging them for beautiful silks and satins, or other rare books...
[Wow. Can I collect money even when I'm lying down?! Hahaha! So happy.]
[It is better to pray to my brother than to the God of Wealth! I will put up a picture of my brother at home and worship him every day! ]
emperor:……
I didn't expect the little goddess liked it so much.
It seems like I have figured out the vitals of my baby.
Yuanruan was happily discussing with the system when the system suddenly made a ding-dong sound.
[Oh, host, I just scanned out another melon. God, do you still remember the trafficker who just beat up the Moon King? He actually has three secret guards. These secret guards decided to break into the military camp and kill Xiao Yueyue. ]
Yuanruan's face was filled with shock:
[This is out of the ordinary! Sending secret guards to murder a child? Did Xiao Yueyue break the law? Quick, go and save her. ]
The emperor's expression also became extremely ugly.
Someone in Daxia actually dared to send secret guards to attack the emperor's camp?
How dare you hurt his child!
This time, Yuan Ruan didn't wait to attract the emperor's attention by crying loudly.
The emperor picked up Yuan Ruan and walked out of the tent, saying deliberately, "General Wu said that he found a peace locket on this child that only my children have. It's really strange. General Wu is leaving with the prince, and I will go and take a look too."
Yuan Ruan: [Great! The case is solved! This is probably why the National Destiny side quest is completed.]
After a cup of tea, the two of them came to the military tent where General Wu Yi was.
As he approached, the emperor stopped abruptly and placed his right hand lightly on his sword.
Yuanruan: [Tong'er, we finally arrived at our destination successfully? Let's find where she is.]
[Host, Xiao Yueyue is in the small tent behind this big tent. ]
[Rush, rush, rush! Strange, why is my brother not moving? What is he looking at here? ]
Yuan Ruan was full of doubts, but in the next second, she was thrown into the air.
All the Yuanruan people in the air were dumbfounded.
She waved her limbs and wanted to scream: I'm afraid of heights!
However, the next second, the emperor drew out his sword and swung it left and right in a very beautiful posture. In an instant, a thin masked man covered his right shoulder and turned out from the side.
Yuan Ruan was stunned and even forgot to scream before he was caught by the emperor who had made a sword flower.
System: [Ruan'er, why are you so stunned? Are you okay? ]
Yuan Ruan's eyes sparkled: [Brother is so handsome! Look at his sword flower, my god! So handsome! ]
The emperor chuckled and steadied the hilt of his sword.
At this time, two masked men rolled out from behind the curtain of the military tent.
Yuan Ruan jumped back in fright, but the masked man did not rush towards the emperor at all. They both reached out to the thin masked man who was half-kneeling on the ground. The emperor raised his eyebrows and threw the long sword at his waist to stop them from rescuing people.
The other two masked men looked at each other, and the next second, they escaped through the window.
The emperor's expression frightened, and he quickly ran towards the half-kneeling man. After running two steps, he saw a stream of smelly black blood oozing from the corner of the man's lips.
This is suicide.
Yuanruan's high spirits suddenly faltered, and he had a bad feeling.
"Come here!" the emperor said solemnly, and several soldiers in armor rushed in from the military tent. "Take him down, treat him, and interrogate him. Search the entire army, and don't let any strangers leave."
"Yes." The soldiers responded in unison.
Yuan Ruan felt more and more ominous. The secret guard ran so fast, could it be that he had completed the mission? !
[Barbie is dead. I'm afraid that I will not be able to save her, but will harm her instead. ]
[Don't cry, host! The Moon King is still alive. Go forward and look to the right, down below! But I advise you to cover your nose! It stinks.]
The emperor swept his hands casually upon hearing this.
A palace guard went to search.
Yuanruan stuck his head out and looked around desperately, and said confidently: [Where is it? Where is it? I'm not afraid of the smell. Wasn't I very good last time?]
At this moment, the sound of a stone cover being dragged was heard.
I saw a person covered in black mud crawling out from below. He could barely make out a human figure, except for a pair of eyes that were the cleanest and brightest. The rest of the smell was almost overwhelming.
[Hey! It’s out! Alive!]
The emperor immediately held Yuanruan and retreated three meters.
Wu Yue paused in her approach.
[It smells a bit! But I'm really happy too! Hehe. ]
The Emperor and Wu Yue: ...
They looked over at the same time, and in the stinky environment, the little face as big as a palm actually showed a baby smile.
Wu Yue's heart, which had been dry and silent for so long, began to ripple again.
Gao Xing and Yuan Ruan were worried about her, which moved Yuan Ruan so much that he took the initiative to rescue her. He even forced himself to take care of her feelings.
This must be the little Bodhisattva her nanny talked about, the little Bodhisattva who would have mercy on her.
At this time, the emperor took a wet towel from the guard who followed closely, threw one to Wu Yue, and at the same time wiped the hands and face of Yuanruan in his arms.
[My brother is really considerate. Those who say he is a tyrant must have been fabricated! ]
The emperor paused and continued to wipe Yuanruan's face.
He silently swallowed the order to kill the entire family of the invader.
Wu Yue was so nervous that her handkerchief almost dropped to the ground. Tyrant?
Is this the person the little Bodhisattva is talking about? Could he be the current emperor?
As Wu Yue was guessing, her soft voice echoed again:
[Speaking of which, System, can you find out who is the master behind the three secret guards? ]
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly.
A hint of gloom also flashed across Wu Yue's eyes.
System: [Of course! ]
Both: !!!
