Chapter 1706 - Mysterious Guest
"Okay, just tell me if you have anything to do." Chi Zhongtian replied.
"My little sister was disobedient last time, thanks to..."
"Brother Xian, you are wrong. You came here in such a hurry. Don't talk about this. The friendship between us should be less vain. Your sister is my sister, as it should be." Chi Zhongtian
I interrupted him quickly.
Yongmenzi Di chuckled and seemed a little embarrassed, so he immediately said: "Well, since Brother Chi said so, I won't talk nonsense. You asked me to ask about the artillery in your last letter. What happened?
Who used artillery against you?"
Chi Zhongtian knew that he was here to ask about this matter.
If this matter had been placed on others, such as Yongmen Zhen or an official who did not have a close relationship with Chi Zhongtian, it would have been reported to the court. Once the court intervened, Chi Zhongtian would be in a lot of trouble.
"Brother Xian, they are the ones who took away the city in Southern Xinjiang." Chi Zhongtian replied.
"Ah? Them! Why do they want to deal with you?"
"Those people were originally from the martial arts world, and they had hatred against me before. It can be said that we are sworn enemies. They have not been able to take advantage of me several times before. Now that they have artillery, they must deal with me." Chi Zhongtian said.
.
"But using artillery to deal with Jianghu grievances is too trivial, isn't it? Aren't they afraid of going out and causing trouble?"
"My dear brother, what are they afraid of? They will flee to Southern Xinjiang soon anyway. The imperial court has always ignored Southern Xinjiang."
Speaking of this, Chi Zhongtian obviously still had some emotions in it.
Yongmenzi Di was inconvenient to continue on this topic, so he could only continue to ask: "Do you know where these people got their artillery?"
After asking this question, Chi Zhongtian suddenly had an idea, and then replied: "Brother Xian, I really don't know this, but I know that their artillery is called the red cannon. It is very powerful. Are the artillery of the imperial court also so powerful?"
"
"Red-coated cannon? I seem to know that this red-coated cannon was made by barbarians, and its power is indeed extraordinary. The only bronze cannons used by our court are definitely not as powerful as the red-coated cannon."
"That's it, dear brother, I'm not unfounded. Those people didn't buy red cannons just to deal with me." Chi Zhongtian said deliberately.
"What does Brother Chi mean?"
"Think about it, they just built so many cities in southern Xinjiang, so they bought artillery. What does it mean? It means they still want to attack the city and fight!" Chi Zhongtian said.
"No way? As for those people, the court just looks down upon them. If we really want to fight, three days is enough." Yongmenzi Di said confidently.
"Brother Xian, I don't doubt the combat effectiveness of our Chinese army, but what I want to say is that those artillery pieces are really effective and we must guard against them."
Yongmen Zidi seemed to be moved by Chi Zhongtian. He nodded and said: "I just saw it. Your place is quite miserable. It was bombed like this. The court's artillery is not as powerful as it is."
"Brother, if there were such artillery, would the imperial court buy it?" Chi Zhongtian suddenly asked.
"Of course I will buy it."
"How much to buy?"
"Just buy a few statues, and then we can dismantle them and build them ourselves." Yongmenzi Di said with a smile.
Yongmenzi Di's words immediately poured a basin of cold water on Chi Zhongtian.
If you just buy a few statues, how much money can you make?
"What, what do you think, Brother Chi?"
"I don't have any idea. I just think that if the court needs it, I can help find out where they get their artillery. After all, we in the world often have good information when doing things."
"That's good! That's a good thing. If Brother Chi wants to do it, that's great."
"My dear brother, don't be too busy being happy. I'll make some inquiries first."
"Well, Brother Chi, feel free to go and inquire. If you need any help, just come and tell me." Yongmen Zidi said.
"Okay, if I need anything, I will definitely come to you."
"Brother Chi, I came here to ask about these things. All I need to know is that these artillery pieces are in southern Xinjiang. I have to rush back immediately."
"Brother, why are you in such a hurry?" Chi Zhongtian wanted to persuade him to stay.
"Brother Chi, I have no choice. If I go back late, I'm afraid I'll get into trouble." Yongmen Zidi explained.
"Okay, then, it's such a long way to the capital. I'll arrange for a few people to see you off." Chi Zhongtian said.
Yongmenzi Di shook his head and said, "That's not necessary. I can do it myself."
"My dear brother, please be more careful along the way."
"Brother Chi, farewell!"
Yongmen Zidi must be very cautious about this matter, and would rather travel more than ten days to ask just a few words.
Sometimes, he had to be careless. He knew that the artillery matter could not have anything to do with Chi Zhongtian, otherwise, the court would not know what it would do to Chi Zhongtian.
Yongmenzi Di has also learned that Chi Zhongtian is no longer like before in front of the emperor, and the emperor seems to be a little wary of Chi Zhongtian.
But this is fine, Yongmenzi Di is really hoping that Chi Zhongtian won't get involved in the court affairs. In this way, if the Yongmen family has any trouble in the future, they can still ask Chi Zhongtian for help, and Chi Zhongtian doesn't have to be timid.

...
"Your Highness, the guests have arrived."
At this time, a guest also came to Prince De's Mansion in the capital.
King De is no longer the governor. After returning to the capital, he often assists the emperor in handling some government affairs, and he has become a prince.
King Huan has not been afraid of Daxia until now, so he has never come back.
As for King Qing, he was still under house arrest in the palace.
Now, a large number of ministers have privately believed that King De is definitely the best choice for the crown prince.
That evening, after having dinner, King De came to the study. He wanted to wait for someone here, a mysterious guest.
He didn't know the identity of this guest, but there was a sentence in the letter this guest sent him that interested him very much.
King De was always very curious about things that interested him, so he asked someone to tell the mysterious guest to come to the palace tonight and come in through the back door.
Now, this guest has arrived.
"Okay, let him in."
"yes."
After the servant went out, a man in a gray cloth robe walked in from outside a moment later.
"I have met His Highness."
This man in gray clothes is about fifty or sixty years old, with a good face and high energy.
"Please sit down." King De greeted politely.
After the man in gray clothes sat down, King De asked: "May I ask your surname, sir?"
"I don't dare, my surname is Lu."
"Oh, Mr. Lu, when you came here, no one followed you, right?" King De asked.
