After the singing, everyone followed the emperor to the north square of Bilin Temple.
Several lively young men and women lagged behind the crowd, talking and guessing in low voices, unable to conceal the excitement in their tones.
Helian Yu tugged at the corner of Xie Rangchen's clothes, and his blunt, harmless eyes raised an arc: "Master, are you looking forward to it? This is something you have never seen before~"
The cannon is a product of future technology. Helian Yu only has a vague understanding of it and has never seen its power, so he is particularly looking forward to it.
Xie Rangchen: “Look forward to it.”
The tone was helpless, as if he just wanted to say these two words.
"There are so many amazing things in Master's Imperial Master's Mansion. You can look forward to more in the future!"
Xie Rangchen: “…”
She completely put the blame on him.
The huge crowd moved to the north square of Bilin Temple. Dozens of young men in tight clothes were guarding a mighty black cannon. Some were holding torches, and some were holding cannonballs.
Even though no one has seen it, they can still feel the crushing and fear brought by the appearance of the cannon.
Helian Chichong and Helian Su bowed and said, "Father, this is a cannon, a divine object bestowed by heaven. It is so powerful that ordinary people cannot defeat it. I ask you to burn this divine object with your own hands, to comply with heaven's will and enhance our country's prestige."
The Fourth Prince's words were flawless. The people of Daxia were delighted to hear them, but the envoys from Dongning were upset.
Helian Su laughed loudly, and with fire in his eyes he approached the cannon and held out his hand: "Okay! Torches!"
The young man holding the torch ran over respectfully and handed the torch to the emperor.
Helian Su held the torch tightly and looked back at Princess Dongning: "Princess Arnold, you must take a good look and tell the Emperor of Dongning when you get back!"
Princess Arnold didn't feel anything was wrong and nodded playfully: "Okay!"
The Dongning envoy's face turned as green as a banana. This was clearly a show of force, and a blatant rejection of Princess Dongning's marriage proposal. When will the princess realize this?
Not only did the Dongning envoy look strange, but everyone in Daxia also looked weird.
This Princess Dongning is too ignorant of worldly affairs.
No matter how everyone reacted, none was as shocking as the fire started by Helian Su.
Adjust the height, fire the shells, and light the fuse.
“Boom—”
The earth is shaking.
Like thunder in one's ears.
With the naked eye, one can see that a small hill in the north of Bilin Temple was blown up with rocks flying everywhere.
If placed on the battlefield, it would be an invincible divine object!
Helian Su's eagle eyes were enthusiastic. He handed the torch to the person next to him and laughed heartily: "There is a reward!"
Helian Mo's eyes fell on Helian Yu. He wanted to know how much more she could take out. If such sharp objects were put on the battlefield, more soldiers of Daxia would survive! Helian Yu opened her mouth slightly, and almost jumped up with excitement. She grabbed Xie Rangchen's sleeve tightly: "Master, Master! So powerful! So powerful!"
Xie Rangchen stroked her head gently and echoed, "It's really amazing." - "Oh my God! Have you heard that the cannon presented by the Fourth Prince can blow up a city! The Dongning envoy was so scared that he collapsed on the ground!"
"My cousin's relative, my uncle-in-law, was there that day! He was the Fourth Prince's man, and it was he who transported the cannons! He said that the old man from Dongning was so scared that he pissed himself, hahahaha..."
"I heard that His Majesty rejected the marriage proposal from Dongning, but I think Princess Dongning must be pretty, and it would not be a loss even if she were included in the harem! Why did you reject it? I don't understand."
"Hush, don't talk nonsense. Your Majesty has three thousand beauties in the harem. No matter how beautiful Princess Dongning is, Your Majesty must be tired of looking at her."
Helian Yu supported his chin and sat in a small teahouse outside, listening to the gossip spread on the street. The story of the envoys' meeting had been distorted beyond all recognition.
Helian Yu put down his arms and looked at Fang Zhengjin: "You've been running around with me for the past two days. Are you used to it?"
"No problem, but..." Fang Zhengjin pushed the booklet towards Helian Yu, "If Miss could write her own experiences, I would be more comfortable with it."
Helian Yu blinked and said, "My handwriting is ugly. Master will be unhappy if he sees it. Sorry to bother you. I'll treat you later! Eat as much as you want!"
Fang Zhengjin: "...Thank you, Miss."
She finally understood why His Majesty, the Imperial Noble Consort and the four princes gave her some rewards, and asked her overtly or covertly to play with Princess Zhaoyang and guide her to read step by step.
This job is not easy!
This time when she went out, she should have called the other two tutors with her so that they could share the suffering together!
The two arrived at Shangyang Tower, where they were received by Miss Hong.
"How is Mr. Han doing recently?" Helian Yu was very curious.
Han Xingzhi knelt for a long time but did not get any results about Xu Ling. His current situation was probably not good.
“Miss, my young master likes to have a drink with Mr. Qiao recently, so you don’t have to worry.”
Helian Yu waved his hand: "Okay, let's go serve the food first."
Red Girl: "I understand."
Wannian Restaurant, outside the Lanting box on the second floor.
"Sister, Master Han has been coming to drink with the master these days, but he doesn't even consider the master's health." Xin Ying held the wine cup, a little dissatisfied.
Xin Qi glanced at the closed door and signaled Xin Ying to speak softly: "Mr. Han just lost Miss Xu and he is upset. Don't say too much in the next two days."
Xin Ying nodded, knocked on the door and entered with a wine cup in hand.
"Xin Ying, come here." Qiao Zhe raised his hand.
Xin Ying walked closer obediently and was pulled onto Qiao Zhe's lap, her face slightly reddened: "Master, Master Han is still here."
Han Xingzhi had a complicated expression: "It doesn't matter, you can just pretend that I'm not here."
Qiao Zhe raised his eyebrows and looked at Han Xingzhi, his hand covering Xin Ying's waist: "Tell me the truth, do you really like Miss Xu that much?"
Han Xingzhi rested his palm on his chin and smiled lightly, "I can't hide anything from you. My legs hurt from kneeling a few days ago, but you didn't feel sorry at all."
Xin Ying snuggled in Qiao Zhe's arms and looked at Han Xingzhi in surprise.
The rumors in the capital were all about the tragic love story of the owner of Shangyang Tower falling in love with a spy from the Western Regions. Among them...
Is it fake? Xin Ying couldn't tell the truth, so she leaned quietly in Qiao Zhe's arms and poured him a glass of wine.
Qiao Zhe drank the wine handed to him by Xin Ying and played with the beauty's soft hands: "It's not hard to guess. Your reaction was wrong from the beginning. I have never seen you dote on a woman like that... so ostentatiously."
"Haha, indeed."
Han Xingzhi felt relaxed and poured the wine into his mouth: "I have been looking for you to drink to relieve my sorrow these past few days, and finally I have gained something."
"Last night, a few people from the Western Regions came to me and asked me to help steal cannons and intelligence in order to persuade me to defect. They gave me a list of officials they wanted to defect."
Han Xingzhi laughed heartily: "I've been pretending for so many days, I'm so tired! I knelt in front of you for most of the day a few days ago, and my legs were almost broken!"
"As expected." Qiao Zhe understood and clinked glasses with Han Xingzhi, "Congratulations."
