"How is the situation? Are you sure the news has been released?"

Prince Yan's Mansion.

Inside a secret room.

Zhao Ding sat in the main seat.

The person standing in front of him was the same government servant from before.

The so-called news is naturally the location of the divine machine cannon.

"Sure."

The yamen servant replied without hesitation, "That man thought I didn't know his identity, so he deliberately got close to me. That's when Mr. Hu asked me to spread the news, so I deliberately got close to him through drinking, pretending to complain and use the magic cannon." I told him the news. He didn't say anything on the surface, but deep down he would definitely tell Wen Liang the news.

Moreover, the brother who was guarding the city gate just now saw a business traveler from Nanchen leaving the city.

He probably went to deliver news to Wen Liang. "

"good."

Zhao Ding slapped the table and ordered Hu San: "Immediately send someone to place explosives around the divine machine cannon. The more the better. As long as they dare to come, none of them can escape."

As soon as these words came out.

Hu San was shocked.

"My lord, if explosives are placed around the divine machine cannons, wouldn't those of our divine machine cannons be the same?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we only have eight gates in total now. Except for the four gates placed in Tiandang Mountain and Beiliang, there are only those four gates left. Now they will all be blown up. Then we will do it in a short time." There is no magic cannon to deal with Nan Chenke."

Zhang San also looked at Zhao Ding nervously.

Although the drawings of the divine machine cannon were given by their highness.

But Youzhou’s smelting technology is limited.

Eight years have passed now.

Only eight divine cannons were built.

The four stations were placed in Youyun Mountain to deal with Nan Chen.

The four stations were placed in Tiandang Mountain to deal with Beiliang.

"I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf."

Zhao Ding looked emotional. .

Although the barrel of the divine machine cannon is difficult to smelt, it is not impossible to refine it again.

But if it happens again this time, it can dampen Nan Chen's spirit very well.

He, Zhao Ding, has not killed anyone for a long time.

It seems that Nan Chen's gang of bastards have forgotten why Zhao Ding is called the King of Laughing Hell.

As for the gap period, Zhao Ding had already thought of a replacement.

"Good prince, I'll do it right away. I listen to you. Anyway, my life, Hu San, was given by the prince. Whatever the prince says will be whatever he says."

After hearing what Zhao Ding said, Hu San did not hesitate.

The seemingly treacherous face also showed a serious look at this moment.

"It would be bad if we go underground outside the city and are discovered by them."

Zhao Ding instructed.

When he first built Youzhou City, he considered the possibility of running out of water and food once Youzhou City was besieged, so he built a network of secret passages extending in all directions under Youzhou City.

The exit and entrance are only in the hands of his confidants, Hu San, Zhang San and Lu Tao.

As for the final destination.

Only he himself knows.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hu San nodded.

Then he quickly led the people out.

"My lord, what should I do?"

Seeing Hu San walking out, Zhang San rubbed his hands and looked at Zhao Ding impatiently.

"you?"

Zhao Ding glanced sideways at Zhang San, then smiled and said, "You and I can just wait and watch the fireworks."

Wen Liang actually dared to take advantage of his magical cannon.

This time it's either not going to come, or a big one will come.

It's best to blow him up, even if he's a good-natured person, he still has to shed a layer of his skin!



And at the same time.

The other side of Youyun Mountain.

Within the territory of Nanchen.

In a marching camp near the border.

A young man wearing Nanchen armor suddenly rushed into the marching tent in a hurry.

He looked at the young man with an elegant face who was sitting in front of a huge sand table and was discussing the layout in detail with the surrounding generals.

The young man wearing the Nanchen soldier's armor hurriedly raised his hands to the elegant-looking young man and said, "Master Marquis, the people we sent to Youzhou are back."

"came back?"

The young man with an elegant face frowned and couldn't help but look at the young man wearing armor.

And this young man with an elegant face is none other than Wen Liang.

Wen Liang was the son of Duke Wen Ziheng of Qi State in Nanchen.

He is also the leader of the nearly 100,000-strong Nanchen frontier army.

"Why is he back?"

When Wen Liang saw the report from his subordinates, instead of being surprised, Wen Liang frowned deeply.

"Master Marquis, of course I found out where Zhao Ding hides his magical cannon."

The young man in armor replied respectfully.

Wen Liang looked at the young man coldly: "Nonsense, you still need to say it, don't I know?"

After saying that, he stood and walked around in the big tent.

Some time ago, he sent people to take advantage of the chaos and sneak into Youzhou City.

As a result, it didn't take long for Zhao to make him a human pig and hang him outside Youzhou City.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, the spy sent to Youzhou by his predecessor came back and said that he knew the hiding place of the divine machine cannon.

This forced him to think more.

"Bring it in."

After thinking for a long time, Wen Liang raised his head and looked at the young man in armor.

"yes."

The young man in armor took the order and walked out.

It didn't take long.

A paunchy middle-aged man wearing businessman's clothing was brought into Wen Liang's tent.

As soon as he saw Wen Liang, the middle-aged man with a big belly immediately said with a flattering look on his face: "I have met Prince Wen, Lord Wen, I am..."

"Okay, don't try to get close to me, just tell me the news you know."

Before the pot-bellied middle-aged man could finish speaking, Wen Liang raised his hand and interrupted him directly.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man smiled coquettishly and did not dare to be angry. He quickly told Wen Liang the news he had found out in Youzhou and the location of the magical cannon.

"Are you sure you're in the children's department?"

After hearing the middle-aged man's reply, Wen Liang frowned and looked at the middle-aged man expressionlessly.

"I'm sure, that person is a yamen servant of Prince Yan's Mansion, a distant cousin of Hu San, the housekeeper of Prince Yan's Mansion. He has always been ignored by Zhao Ding and was marginalized. He heard this news from his cousin Hu San, absolutely. It’s impossible to go wrong.”

The middle-aged man with a big belly said firmly.

"No way to go wrong?"

Wen Liang sneered and looked at the middle-aged man coldly: "Do you think that Hu San can climb from a refugee to his current position and become Zhao Ding's right-hand man? He will be a simple person? Will such an important person be so simple? Tell a distant cousin who is not valued by Zhao Ding?

You are really either stupid or bad. "

"Someone is coming."

Before the pot-bellied middle-aged man could speak, Wen Liang shouted directly outside the tent: "Drag this man out and kill him."

"Master Hou, what I said is true. Spare your life, spare your life!"

Seeing that the soldiers outside the tent had walked in, the middle-aged man shouted hurriedly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wen Liang.

However, Wen Liang didn't even look at him and allowed the soldiers to drag the pot-bellied middle-aged man out.

Seeing the middle-aged man being dragged out, Wen Liang murmured: "The plate has been exposed and has no use value. It is better to die."

"Send two people to smear it and take a look. If it is true, we will take action."

After thinking for a long time, Wen Er looked at the guards outside the tent and ordered.

What a cannon.

What an artifact that is.

As long as he gets the magical cannon, his Wen Liang status in Nanchen will be unshakable.

He could even use this to propose marriage to the Northern Liang royal family and ask for Xiao Yunu, the sixth princess of Northern Liang!

This is what he has wanted all his life!
