The emperor seemed very angry. He turned around with his hands behind his back and asked, "Have you sealed the city gates? Such a large number of bows and crossbows cannot be transported out."
"I have immediately ordered the city gates to be sealed and sent people to search everywhere."
"Order King Ye to lead the inspection and make sure to search out this batch of bows and crossbows." The emperor said in a deep voice.
"Yes, I'll go right away!" General Zhang bowed and left.
After General Zhang left, the emperor was no longer in the mood to drink, but Prince Qi was still there, so he had to force himself to deal with it.
Inside Xiwei Palace.
Two figures quietly flew down from the glazed tile roof and directly entered the small courtyard where Sun Fang'er lived.
After a while, a man in black came out holding a woman, and with a leap, he flew onto the roof.
After a while, Sun Fanger walked out of the small courtyard. After she walked out, she looked around and made sure that there was no one there, then she slipped out through the side door.
However, the emperor always sent people to keep an eye on her. It would be fine if she didn't go out, but as soon as she stepped out of the Xiwei Palace, someone would keep an eye on her.
One of the people who were monitoring her went to report to the emperor, while the other two continued to follow her.
The emperor was not happy with the dinner at all. When a palace servant reported to him that Sun Fang'er had quietly gone out, he became very alert and ordered people to follow Sun Fang'er to see who she met.
The King of Liang also came to see the emperor. The emperor was already upset. Seeing that the King of Liang was not sitting and drinking properly, he angrily asked, "What do you want to do now?"
Prince Liang said softly, "Father, I just met General Zhang and learned that something might have happened to the Eighth Uncle. How about I go to Prince Nan Huai's mansion to find out the truth under the pretext of visiting a patient?"
After hearing this, the emperor calmed down his anger, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Well, go there as soon as possible, otherwise you won't make any noise and alert the enemy."
"Yes, I will go right away." King Liang bowed.
Bad news kept coming back to the emperor's ears.
Sun Fanger met two people in Jufulou. One of them was Shangqiu, who was beside King Nan Huai. As for the other one, according to the identification of the emperor's secret guards, he was an arms dealer from Dayue Kingdom.
After Prince Liang left the palace and got on the carriage, the guards of the Great Jin also got on the carriage and went with him.
When they arrived at Prince Nanhuai's mansion, Prince Liang ordered someone to go in and report that he was ordered to visit the patient.
Eunuch Lu came twice. The first time he brought the imperial physician, and the second time he came to convey the emperor's order for Prince Nan Huai to enter the palace. Prince Nan Huai pretended to faint.
Therefore, when King Liang came this time, Shangqiu told King Nan Huai that it must be the emperor who asked him to come and inquire about the severity of the illness and he must see him.
King Liang went in with the Jin guards. After they went in, the Jin guards closed the door and made a scratching gesture on their faces.
This turn shocked Shangqiu, "Regent?"
King Nan Huai was lying weakly on the bed. When he heard Shangqiu's call, he quickly propped himself up.
Sure enough, Murong Jie, wearing the clothes of a Jin Dynasty guard, walked towards them step by step, while King Liang was guarding the door without moving an inch.
"You actually left the army without permission? You are so bold, aren't you afraid that the emperor will know?" Prince Nan Huai looked at him in disbelief. Although he guessed that he had returned, he didn't expect him to be so bold to appear in Prince Nan Huai's mansion.
"Is it strange? In this world, is there anything that I dare not do?" Murong Jie chuckled and sat down with an arrogant look on his face.
"What do you want to do? Do you want to kill me? Don't forget, you and I have the same fate!" King Nan Huai sat up and pulled for more than ten times. His face was already very bad, and now when he saw Murong Jie, he turned even paler with shock.
Shangqiu shouted: "Someone come, someone come."
Prince Liang said calmly, "No need to shout. I came here to convey the Emperor's order and have already ordered everyone to leave. Those standing outside now are from Prince Liang's mansion."
"Your Highness Prince Liang, the Emperor is now placing great importance on Your Highness Prince Liang. Your Highness must think twice before doing anything and never let others take advantage of you." Shangqiu said.
Prince Liang laughed, "It was my father who asked me to come here, don't you know? How could I be used by others when I came here to do my job? There are many people like this who talk nonsense around my eighth uncle, and they don't seem to know etiquette. They don't even greet me and my uncle."
Shangqiu's face was a little stiff. "I am Shangqiu, and I greet His Royal Highness Prince Liang and the Regent."
"How arrogant does it take to call yourself this humble one in front of the royal family?" Prince Liang said calmly.
Shangqiu bowed and knelt, "I, Shangqiu, pay my respects to the Regent and the King of Liang."
"Well, no need for formalities!" King Liang said proudly, making people think he was being unreasonable.
Shangqiu stood up and began to look a little annoyed, but slowly calmed down. He couldn't be provoked. King Liang wanted him to be angry and disrupt his thoughts.
Prince Nan Huai stared at Murong Jie, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Murong Jie lifted the cup on the table and said, "You didn't do anything? I heard that you were sick, so I came to see you."
"You will come to see me? Come on, why not get straight to the point?" Nan Huai Wang thought that he would not dare to attack him in the palace, and besides, wasn't there the same fate Gu? Could it be that Xia Zian had really cured the same fate Gu
Murong Jie poured himself some tea and said calmly, "It seems that you are sincere. Of course, I am not just here to see you, but also to bring you good news."
"What good news?" Prince Nan Huai's pupils shrank.
The good news that Murong Jie told him must be bad news for him.
Murong Jie drank his tea slowly. "Do you still remember that arms dealer? Didn't you want to buy a batch of bows and crossbows from him?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" King Nan Huai said angrily.
“No nonsense, you couldn’t make this deal with him, but I made it for you. The batch of bows and crossbows are now placed in the residential area behind Jiaoheju. I’m sorry to disappoint you and you can’t get them again.” Murong Jie curled his lips and smiled proudly.
"I don't know what you are talking about, but why did you escape from the army and return to Beijing to buy weapons? What exactly do you want to do?" King Nan Huai asked coldly.
"Whatever you want to do, I want to do it. This batch of bows and crossbows are good stuff. The weapons of Dayue Kingdom are indeed extraordinary. They are not inferior to those of Zhu Family of Liang Kingdom." Murong Jie praised this batch of bows and crossbows.
Prince Nan Huai exclaimed, "Are you returning to the capital to rebel?"
As soon as he said this, he was also shocked. Yes, why didn't he think about Murong Jie's purpose of returning to the capital? He didn't just come to target him. Although the defenses in the capital were strict, there were not enough people. Moreover, the war with Beimo could not be launched, so he could call back a large number of troops to fight back to the palace.
Did he return with his troops? He must have.
"Rebellion?" Murong Jie smiled coldly, staring at him, "This world originally belongs to me, how can there be any rebellion? I am just trying to restore order. The emperor is incompetent and uses treacherous ministers like you. In his hands, the Great Zhou will fall sooner or later. I am just trying to protect this century-old foundation for my ancestors."
"You have already controlled the imperial city? You want to kill me?" King Nan Huai was suddenly panicked.
