It's better to come here than to come by chance.
Liu Qizheng was thinking that he left in a bit of a hurry and did not learn about the foundry.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually sent the foreman over.
Although this General Ji Kang is a warrior, he is still very good at getting things done.
"See you, Your Highness."
The foreman is a short, gray-haired old man.
"All of you, please step aside. I want to have a good chat with this foreman."
Liu Qi chatted with the foreman for a long time.
The information he learned from the foreman surprised and delighted him.
He never imagined that in small Korea, a foundry established in another country would be much more advanced than Daqing in terms of casting techniques and the tools used.
The foreman left, and Qin and Zhao entered the house.
Then he saw the prince, sitting on the imperial chair, smiling beautifully.
"Your Highness, what makes you so happy?"
"Hahaha, I really didn't miss the foundry that I was looking for."
Seeing the excitement on the prince's face, Zhao Wenhui also felt happy.
"Your Highness, could it be that the foundry can make the pistols, cannons, machine guns, etc. you mentioned?"
Liu Qi's smile stopped abruptly.
"That's not true. Even if we have this condition, I'm afraid these people don't have the technology."
"But even though I can't do these, I can make some other weapons that I want, which are also very good. Moreover, this time, I can also upgrade my sleeve arrows to a certain extent."
"Other weapons?"
Seeing the confused looks of the two of them, Liu Qi smiled.
"Yes, if this weapon is made and used on my sergeant, it will definitely greatly improve the combat capability."
"If we can make a batch before the battle with the Huns, it will be enough for them to eat a pot."
What Liu Qi said made the two of them even more curious.
Qin Wei couldn't help but ask.
"Your Highness, what is this weapon you are talking about?"
"Zhuge Liannu!"
...
Qingdu, inside the Yang Mansion.
"Master Yang, you should have received the news. The prince has arrived in Pingcheng with his troops."
After listening to Li Shouting's words, Yang Wenyuan did not react at all. He continued to lean on the chair and squinted his eyes leisurely.
"Of course I know."
"Sir, don't you have any plans? Now that the prince is in Jincheng, what he has done has greatly pleased the emperor. Even if it delays the military term, instead of being punished, he has been praised."
"In this way, if he makes any further achievements in Pingcheng, wouldn't it make things even more difficult for us?"
Yang Wenyuan chuckled.
"Why are you panicking? Do you still think that with 30,000 people, he can really defeat the Huns?"
"If it weren't for the incident in Jincheng, I still wouldn't understand this son's intentions. Now I can see clearly. In fact, he didn't go to fight the Huns at all."
Li Shouting and others were a little stunned.
"What do you say, sir?"
"From what I see, he led the troops out this time in order to create some political achievements in various places, so that they can be spread to the court and show the emperor good looks."
"In this way, even if he does not defeat the Huns, he can still show that he is not an incompetent prince. With these achievements, the emperor can ensure that he will continue to remain in the position of prince."
As soon as Yang Wenyuan finished speaking, several people nodded first, then frowned slightly.
"What you have seen, my lord, is really profound. We were actually deceived by the prince."
"If that's the case, what should we do? Now that the prince has arrived in Pingcheng, if he does something to please the emperor again in Pingcheng, then it will be as you said. Even if he cannot defeat the Huns, his merits and demerits will be equal. . Moreover, I also took this opportunity to express myself."
Yang Wenyuan's expression did not change at all.
"It doesn't matter, I believe that the prince will always let us catch something when he is in Pingcheng."
Not long after Yang Wenyuan finished speaking, a guard hurried into the hall.
"Sir, report from the front!"
"Say, there are no outsiders here."
"Sir, it was reported that on the day the prince arrived at Pingcheng, he killed Chen Baolong, the captain of the border army. Then the next day, he went to Camp Shenwei. During the performance, he had conflicts with General Wood and others. Not only did he kill He has taken over the post of General Wood, and also dispersed the organization of the three major battalions, and is now under the unified management of General Bai Qi. As for the rest, we have not received any news yet."
As soon as the attendant finished speaking, Yang Wenyuan's eyes suddenly opened and he laughed a few times.
"Look, what did I say? Isn't the clue coming now?"
Jasmine stood up directly.
"Sir, what are we waiting for? Why don't we go to the palace quickly and ask the emperor to impeach him!"
But Yang Wenyuan smiled and waved his hand.
"No rush, no rush."
"Let the prince continue to torment in Pingcheng for a while. When we have enough evidence, we will report to the emperor together. No matter what, this time, we must let the emperor convict the prince!"
...
Here in Qingdu, Yang Wenyuan and others were thinking about the prince.
Liu Qi sat in the room with a bitter look on his face, looking at the piles of books on the table.
"If this continues, we'll have to wait and see."
Liu Qi looked a little bored and threw a book in his hand directly on the table.
Hearing the movement in the house, he knocked on the door and Zhao Wenhui walked in from the door.
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
Liu Qi put his hands on the table and rubbed his head.
"It's okay, I'm just tired of watching."
"There are so many books. Reading just one of them gives me a headache. It would take years and months to read the whole box."
Zhao Wenhui smiled slightly, walked behind Liu Qi, and pressed his shoulders as usual. Said as if to comfort.
"Your Highness has worked hard, but as you said to others, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle."
"How can the Huns win the war if they don't understand them clearly?"
Liu Qi turned his head and grabbed Zhao Wenhui's tender little hand.
Zhao Wenhui trembled slightly, but did not refuse.
"Yes, I have said this."
"However, not all information must be known. Information is also divided into useful and useless."
"Just like you said, this book introduces the origin of the Huns' surnames, genealogy, and the evolution of the tribe. What significance does this have for this king's wars."
"What I want is important information. If I can actually get it, I can put it to practical use."
Zhao Wenhui nodded vaguely in understanding.
"Your Highness, what information are you thinking of? If you are willing, my little girl can help you find it."
But Liu Qi did not respond accordingly.
But he suddenly looked at her with serious brows.
"Huh? I just realized it. What did you call me?"
Zhao Wenhui was slightly stunned. Within a few seconds, she understood what Liu Qi meant, her cheeks were red with shame and she lowered her head.
"Husband...husband."
This cry made Liu Qi's body feel numb.
He immediately stood up and held him in his arms.
"Your Highness, there are still people outside..."
