In the past few days, Yang Bing had nothing to do. He went back and forth between the military camp and Wanqi Mansion every day. He re-selected and selected another thousand people from the seven thousand people selected at the beginning. There are a thousand people, and Yang Bing customized very considerate devil training for them.
There were sounds of pain in the military camp every day, and Yang Bing was eating and drinking leisurely in front of the soldiers. This made the thousands of people hate him so much that they wanted to rush up and beat Yang Bing.
But Lin Feng on the other side was not so free. After the brain-dead Mikan Iida got the Thunderbolt, he didn't test it on his own. After all, it was just one thing, so Mikan Iida called his subordinates to find Lin Feng.
"Lin Sang, this is the Thunderbolt developed by Yang Bing."
In the Lin Mansion, Mitake Iida said to Lin Feng with some arrogance, his expression seemed to be saying: "Look, it still has to be us."
Lin Feng didn't bother to look at Mitake Iida and carefully observed the Thunderbolt in his hand. After a while, Lin Feng called a guard over and handed him the Thunderbolt.
"Go and try to see if it's true or not."
"Yes." The guard found an open space. Mitake Iida and Lin Feng were standing a few meters behind him. The guard was brave enough and directly pulled the hat off the tab without any hesitation. fuse.
Just when the guard's arm was raised to throw the thunderbolt, Lin Feng felt a fireball appear in front of his eyes, and it continued to enlarge, until finally Lin Feng felt the heat wave coming towards his face, and then his body collapsed. It flew out, followed closely by Iida Miken and his team.
The guard was blown away half of his body, and Mitake Iida's throat was cut directly by the flying debris, killing him on the spot.
Lin Feng had a longer life, but he was also severely shaken by the shock wave of the explosion. After vomiting several mouthfuls of blood, he fainted.
The news of this incident was not small, and it quickly spread throughout Kyoto. A young man in Zuihua Tower was listening to the oiran playing and singing with his eyes closed.
A servant came behind him: "Sir, I have something interesting to do."
"What's going on?" The young man didn't care very much, still enjoying the music with his eyes closed.
The servant whispered into the young man's ear what happened at Lin Feng's house.
The young man's eyes suddenly opened, causing the servants to retreat hurriedly in fright.
After a moment, the young man laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, Lin Feng, Lin Feng, you are really doing your own thing."
The young man said as he took out a piece of silver from his arms and threw it on the ground: "Come, I am happy today and will reward you!"
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang~" came the oiran's charming voice.
This young man is Zhang Yi, the son of Zhang Xianlin, the richest businessman in Kyoto. The reason why the Zhang family is the richest businessman in Kyoto is because Zhang Yi's aunt is Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial concubine, second only to Queen Ma.
"Is there any movement over Yang Bing?" Zhang Yi asked.
"Back to the young master, Yang Bing is not available for the time being, but the strange thing is that Yang Bing used to be a frequent visitor to Zuihua House, but since he went to Jincheng, he has never come again."
"Haha, this Yang Bing is a bit interesting." After Zhang Yi said this, he took a sip of tea and continued: "Go and spread this news. I want to make Lin Feng very embarrassed! Hahaha!"
"yes."
At this moment, Yang Bing didn't know about Lin Feng, because he had been depressed to death for the past two days. He opened a wine shop in Kyoto city, specializing in selling the wine he brewed.
But for two days in a row, no one came to buy wine. Yang Bing tilted his chin and stared blankly at the crowds on the street outside. He thought that he had been really at a loss these past few days. Not only had he not sold a single jar of wine. Go and bring back good wine for your wife every night.
"Young master, I'm not a businessman, so let's forget it." Luo Wen, wearing the clothes of a waiter, persuaded Yang Bing helplessly.
He thought to himself that this young master of his was really childish, and his thoughts came out all at once.
"Tch, this is just the beginning. You are waiting for my wine to be famous in Kyoto." Although no one came to buy his wine, Yang Bing was very confident in the wine he brewed.
"Hey, you are so confident, General Yang." At this time, a voice that surprised Yang Bing appeared. He looked up at the door of the wine shop and saw the second prince Zhu Qi wearing a gorgeous off-white robe and holding a fan. Walked in with a smile.
"I'll go, isn't this the second prince? See the second prince." Yang Bing walked out of the counter and was about to salute Zhu Qi.
"Hahaha, okay, let's stop talking to each other, Brother Yang." The second prince Zhu Qi was very grateful to Yang Bing for saving his life at that time.
Yang Bing took the second prince to sit down and asked Luo Wen to pour wine for them both.
"Second Prince, why are you back? Could it be that something happened on the border again?" Yang Bing looked at Zhu Qi with a look of disgust on his face.
"Go, go, you can't say anything auspicious." At this time, Luo Wen put the poured wine in front of the two of them. Zhu Qi took a sip and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Good wine! This is really Did you brew it?" Zhu Qi asked with some disbelief.
"Of course, I still have to make money by selling wine." In the past two days, someone finally appreciated Yang Bing's wine, so Yang Bing immediately started complaining.
"Hahaha, then I have to drink some. The taste of your wine is something that even the palace cannot drink." The second prince joked.
Indeed, in the Ming Dynasty, the wine produced not only had a lot of impurities, but also had a very low alcohol content. It really didn't taste as good as Yang Bingniang's high-quality liquor.
"Haha, second prince, please stop teasing me. Tell me, did you encounter any difficulties when you came back this time?" Yang Bing knew in his heart that the second prince Zhu Qi, as a general who has been stationed on the border all year round, has no role in the government. Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's order was that he must not return to Kyoto privately.
The second prince pondered for a moment, then showed a troubled look on his face: "To be honest, Brother Yang, this time I came back secretly with the army escorting the craftsmen."
"Craftsman? What craftsman?" Yang Bing didn't know about this yet.
"Don't you know?" The second prince was also a little surprised.
Yang Bing shook his head, and Zhu Qi sighed: "Well, my father ordered not long ago to transfer all the craftsmen who made the thunderbolts for you back to Kyoto, leaving only a dozen trusted craftsmen at the border. Originally, my father said in the letter It was just to protect the manufacturing method of Thunderbolt, but the prince sent me a secret message two days ago, saying that my father wanted to kill all these craftsmen."
"What! Then they are gone now." Yang Bing was shocked. He really ignored the existence of these hundreds of craftsmen. Now that he thinks about it as the emperor, with Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicious character, it will be difficult for these hundreds of craftsmen to survive Come down.
"Don't worry, they haven't returned to Kyoto yet. After I received the secret message in Bingshui, I hurried back. But there is nothing I can do, and the prince doesn't want to see them die innocently, so let me ask What do you think?" As the sons of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Qi and Zhu Di know their father very well. If they plead for mercy at this moment, they will not save the lives of these hundreds of people, but may accelerate their death. die.
Yang Bing was silent in thought, his mind rapidly thinking about how to rescue these craftsmen. When they were in Jincheng, these craftsmen risked their lives to make their own weapons, otherwise they would have a chance to escape out of the city.
But Yang Bing didn't know what to do. After all, he was facing the royal family. Zhu Yuanzhang's approach was the fastest and most secure solution, whether from the royal point of view or from the national point of view, even if it was a bit cruel. , even Yang Bing thought that if he were Zhu Yuanzhang, he would definitely make such a decision.
But Yang Bing suddenly thought of it. Just now the second prince said that the emperor gave this opportunity to the prince Zhu Di, so there are two things to say about this.
"Is that General Yang?" At this time, a guard-looking man walked in from the door.
"Uh, I am." Yang Bing's thoughts were interrupted.
"General Yang, if my young master invites you, please also invite this young master to go with you." The guard made an invitation gesture.
Yang Bing and Zhu Qi looked at each other and immediately understood that the prince was coming to see them.
Soon, the two followed the guards to a restaurant not far away and arrived at the room where the prince was.
"See the prince." The two said in unison.
Zhu Di hurriedly came over and helped the two of them: "We brothers just don't want to be so open-minded. I came here today just to discuss with you how to settle those hundreds of people."
Zhu Di was very anxious at the moment. In fact, he had made up his mind last night to follow his father's wishes. But when he got up this morning, he was very anxious. He couldn't imagine what would happen to their families after those people were killed. What a mood.
"The news just came. They have set off from Bingshui. They are expected to arrive in Kyoto tomorrow." The prince said anxiously.
"Didn't I give an order? You can't leave without an order?" The second prince didn't believe it. He had obviously made arrangements.
Zhu Di shook his head: "Second brother, do you think my father won't be able to find you if you sneak into the team? My father is just pretending not to see you."
The second prince wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't.
"Your Highness, I have an idea. I don't know if it will work." Yang Bing finally spoke at this time.
Zhu Di and Zhu Qi quickly asked: "What can we do?"
"Actually, His Majesty may not want to actually kill these people."
"What?" Zhu Di and Zhu Qi looked puzzled.
"The Second Prince also said just now that His Majesty has completely handed over the execution power to His Highness the Crown Prince this time. This means that Your Majesty wants to test His Highness the Crown Prince's ability to handle things through this incident. Killing is not the real purpose. I I guess His Majesty’s real purpose this time is to see how His Highness the Crown Prince can show his decisiveness without hurting innocent people!” Yang Bing had already guessed what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking, and indeed, what happened next confirmed it. Yang Bing’s guess.
