Being a Lady of an Influential Family

Chapter 428: Prince Ann's hole card!

  Chapter 428 Prince Ann's hole card!

  Prince An’s Mansion is still as quiet as usual, but this silence seems to be completely different from the past, and the air is vaguely tense and murderous.

  The sky has darkened, and the lantern under the eaves has long been lit. The old butler was standing at the entrance of the study with his head down. Not far from him stood two rows of men standing with guns.

  The butler looked at the two rows of soldiers, and then looked at the people standing in the courtyard under the eaves outside. He looked back at the closed study door and felt a little worried and anxious under his eyes.

  Prince An is still wearing a plain gown, the weather is getting warmer, and his clothes are changed to thin silk clothes. Just looking at his appearance, no one would have thought that this man was once also a generation of emperors, but he was more like a noble and elegant celebrity who came out of the scholarly family.

  Prince Ann was holding a brush in his hand and writing without hesitation. Standing not far from the desk was a short middle-aged man in uniform, 40 or 50 years old, and short stature.

  The epaulettes on his shoulders showed his extraordinary status and power. At this time, he stared at the man standing behind the desk writing, with a look of impatientness on his face.

   "Your Majesty" the middle-aged man finally couldn't help it, and cried in a deep voice.

  His Royal Highness Prince An paused slightly, raised his head and threw the pen into the brush next to him. ,

Slowly put down his rolled up sleeves, and said lightly, "General Zeng, your majesty is in the palace, you are looking for the wrong person." The middle-aged man is not someone else, it is the first person who just hit a wall with Young Master Fu not long ago. General Zeng Rong, the commander of the Sixth Army.

  Zeng Rong lowered his eyes to conceal the contempt in his eyes, but his words were impassioned, "We only recognize you as An Xia's true Majesty. I am willing to take the lead to clean up the evil for your majesty and help your majesty re-enter the throne."

  Prince An chuckled lightly, as if he didn’t care about his generous statement, and shook his head, “In that case, I had already given way back then. The emperor in the palace is a well-known emperor, why don’t you listen?”

Zeng Rong was choked for a moment, and then quickly said, "Today is weak and incompetent, but a puppet, how can he compare to your majesty's literary and martial arts? Is your majesty willing to let the Xiao family be taken by the cabinet from now on. Manipulate it at will? Be a clay bodhisattva in the temple? Didn’t your Majesty ever think about helping Sheji and restoring the old glory of the Xiao family?”

Prince An sat down, looked at the man in front of him and sighed slightly, "General Zeng, I don't understand."

  Zeng Rong was stunned, "What?"

  Prince An said: "If someone in my Xiao family wants to support the royal family, I understand it, but for you, it is obviously more advantageous now? Why...you are more active than the Xiao family?"

  Zeng Rong said, "I was an old minister of An Xia, so naturally I have to serve the emperor and be loyal to your majesty. I have only endured the humiliation these years, so please give your majesty a lesson."

  Prince An shook his head with a gentle smile, "You know I don't believe this."

  "..." Zeng Rong was speechless for a while and didn't know how to answer the conversation.

  Although he is one of the most powerful generals in the capital, Zeng Rong has never really contacted Prince An before. At most, he had just glanced at him when he was in the Zen position, but he was not a big man at that time, so it was naturally impossible to get close to talking.

  Originally thought that Prince Ann was a weak and incompetent person, so he directly announced his abdication even if he couldn't stand the chaos, but he did not expect that Prince Ann, who lived in a deep house, could speak so well after so many years.

Prince Ann looked at him with a long gaze, "You actually don’t care if the Xiao family has real power, what you care about is...An Xia’s power is not in your own hands. Given the current situation and the distribution of power in various regions, it will be no more than ten years at most. The power of all parties in Xia will be further reduced. In the end, most of them will be... Fu Long's family vying for the top. The Song family may be a corner or the weight that determines the victory. It is not up to you to control where An Xia will go in the end."

Zeng Rong took a deep breath and said, "Since your Majesty understands, don't you worry about how the Xiao family will be in the top position in the future?"

  Prince An thought for a while and said, "Fu Zheng and Long Xiao, I can still trust them. I have also met the two young marshals of the Fu family and the Long family, so there is nothing to worry about."

  This is obviously hard and soft, and Zeng Rong is no longer polite, "However, the one in the palace has already agreed to cooperate with us."

Prince Ann looked down and said nothing, Zeng Rong smiled, "Prince Ann can be at peace with today's situation, but how can you know that others will be willing? Do you think that when you gave the Zen position to the one in the palace, he would really appreciate you? You did give him a throne, but it's a pity that this throne is of no use."

  Prince An said: "If this is the case, what are you still coming to do with me? You can see, I am just an ordinary person with no power and power."

  Zeng Rong said, "If we can, we would naturally prefer to cooperate with your majesty, but if you really don’t want to cooperate, it’s okay. Excuse me... hand over the keys to the royal treasury and the tokens of the royal guards."

  Prince An said: "You found the wrong person."

  Zeng Rong sneered, "Your Majesty thinks you can perfunct us by saying this?"

Prince Ann said: "I don't know where you heard the rumors. All the royal family's property is stored in the palace's private treasury. What I took away when I was out of the palace was only my personal property when I was the prince. As for the Guards...Didn't the Guards disbanded and reorganized long ago? This is still something after I left the palace, and the original tokens were also left in the palace."

  A stern look flashed across Zeng Rong’s face, “We are courteous to your Majesty. Your Majesty had better not test my patience.”

  Prince An leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and stopped paying attention to him, with a respectful look.

  Zeng Rong gritted his teeth and wanted to step forward, but only moved one step and stopped abruptly. He stared at Prince Ann with a cold expression for a long time before turning around with a sneer and pushing the door open.

   "Lord?" the butler outside the door cautiously called.

  Prince An said lightly: "I'm fine, don't have to come in, I want to stay alone for a while."

  The butler was relieved, "Yes."

  Prince An was sitting in the study, staring at the lamp on the table, thinking about something, outside the voice of Zeng Rong angrily calling for the retreat. Soon there was a sound of footsteps outside, and it was obvious that those who were blocking the door followed Zeng Rong to retreat.

  But Prince Ann knew in his heart that although the people in the palace had left, there would never be fewer people outside.

  Since he refused to cooperate, those people would never tolerate him going out of the palace to harm them.

   slightly helplessly sighed, "When this goes on, when will I be a head?"

  "Don’t worry, the prince must be over soon." A voice suddenly rang above his head, and Prince Ann quickly looked up and found that the roof tiles in the corner of the study had been removed several pieces.

  A person entered from the roof, hooked the beam neatly, and then slipped silently to the ground.

  The courtyards of the palace are old houses from the past. It is not difficult to uncover the tiles on the top, but all these things are going on quietly, which shows the skill of the visitors.

   "Mrs. Fu Shao?" Prince Ann looked at the silent landed coldly with a little surprise.

  Leng Sa glanced at the direction of the study door, Prince Ann got up and walked inside, while whispering in a low voice, “Don’t worry, everyone outside is gone.”

   Entering the study room, the warm yellow light illuminates the room and also illuminates the face of Prince Ann Junya.

  Prince An sat down behind the desk and smiled at Leng Sa, "Madam Fu, please sit down. Would you like to have tea?"

   Leng Sa smiled helplessly, "Thank you, Lord, I won’t drink it. Please forgive me if I disturb the Lord so late."

  Prince Ann shook his head, “It’s okay. It’s good for me to have someone come and talk with me all day long. Besides...it’s not easy for Mrs. Young to come in, right?”

  It’s really not easy. Zeng Rong really sent heavy troops to besie Prince An’s Mansion. One of the choices and reconstructions of the Prince’s Mansion back then was to prevent Prince An from escaping. It is naturally difficult to get in if you can't escape. Leng Sa had also been observing for a long time outside, before he came in when the sky was getting dark when the other party was changing shifts.

  Prince Ann did not go around with her, "How is it going out?"

  Leng Sa told the matter again, it happened too suddenly, let alone the specific situation, even if she was Fu Fengcheng and Long Yue, she would be at a loss.

  But it doesn’t matter, they just need to know who the opponent is.

After hearing this, Prince Ann was silent for a long time, and sighed lightly, "After all, there were hidden dangers that year, but that year... I really don’t want to make the capital flow into a river. I just hope that there will always be time and opportunity to solve these problems in the future. It's a matter. I don't want to... Arlene asked you to come to me?"

  Leng Sa nodded, and offered the box Zhuo Lin had given him with both hands.

  Prince An looked at the small box in front of him with a complicated expression. He stared at it for a while before he said solemnly, "You take it to Master Fu."

  Leng Sa, Prince Ann smiled and said, "Did Mrs. Fu Shao not see what's inside?"

   Leng Sa nodded honestly, "Sister Zhuo entrusted me to send this to the prince."

  Prince An laughed and said: "You call her sister? She will take advantage of others. This is something I asked her to keep for her. Since I didn't use it back then, I naturally don't use it now."

  Speaking, Prince Ann reached out and opened the box, which contained a key.

  Leng Sa suddenly remembered that he had just heard the conversation between Zeng Rong and Prince An on the roof, and was a little surprised, "Is there really a royal treasure house?"

Prince Ann shook his head and smiled, "Where is the treasure house? The emperor stays in the palace, why should he put his treasure outside the palace? You can't just guard against the day of the country's subjugation and flee? Even if it is true. , How much can an emperor take with him? Is the bank bill inconvenient, or the bank draft is worthless?"

  Blinked his eyes coldly, looked at the key and said, "Then what is this for?"

Prince Ann said in a deep voice, "This is a batch of the most advanced weapons that I bought from abroad at the time, including a variety of guns and ammunition, and dozens of heavy artillery. It was originally intended to reform Anxia soldiers and horses. Unfortunately, it was useless. Although almost thirty years have passed, these weapons... shouldn't be considered backward."

  The iteration of weapons has not been so fast. These weapons are definitely not as good as Anxia’s most elite soldiers and horses, but they are definitely not considered to be hip in the entire Anxia.

  What's more, there are those gunpowder and shells, even if these things fall behind, the power to hit them is still real.

   "How many of these...?" Leng Sa asked.

  Prince An thought for a while, a little unsure and authentic, "Should be able to equip seventy or eighty thousand people, right?"

  "..." Master Leng was shocked!

  It’s no wonder that so many people don’t worry about this Prince An, who has been under house arrest for almost 30 years, and still has such a fierce weapon under his hand.

   Seventy to eighty thousand people do not seem to be many for the entire six southern provinces, but it is really enough to disregard the capital and smash the capital into ruins.

  Prince An sighed, pulled the paper from the side and picked up the pen to start writing. When Leng Sa recovered, Prince Ann had already written the three letters and sealed them separately.

"I have a few old friends who have some friendship in the capital. You give these letters to them. If they are willing to help me with my face, it is the best. If they refuse to sell my face, you can only ask for it. What a blessing, after all so many years have passed..." Prince Ann said solemnly.

   Leng Sa quickly said, "Thank you, Lord, and trouble you."

Prince Ann smiled, and took out a piece of jade pendant from the drawer, pressed it on the letters and pushed it to Leng Sa, "This jade pendant is for Prince Mu. He knows what to do. I am not safe here. Keep you longer."

   Leng Sa hesitated, "Master, don't you want to leave?"

Prince Ann waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, they won't touch me now. On the contrary, if they really succeed, then it's time for my destiny to die. My old destiny is left to you. what."

  Leng Sa nodded and said, "I understand, the prince takes care."

  Prince Ann smiled and said, "Go."

  Leng Sa collected her things and went out of the house, but still did not leave the door and went directly out of the road.

  In a building across the street from the military building, there was a rumble of guns outside. The electricity in the building had already been cut off, and people could only use the original oil lamps and candles to illuminate.

  When Fu Fengcheng came in, Long Yue and Lou Lanzhou were discussing matters around a table.

  Long Shao looked at everything okay, Lou Shao seemed a bit embarrassed. On weekdays, the clothes that are always neat and tidy have long been stained with dust and blood, and even on the handsome face there is a blood stain. At first glance, it was killed from the enemy pile. It looks a bit more than usual. The murderous momentum of the soldiers.

  Seeing Fu Fengcheng coming in, Long Yue asked bluntly, "What's the situation with you?"

  Fu Fengcheng Road, "All the senior cabinet officials are blocked in the Yizheng Building."

  Long Yue raised his eyebrows, "Did you think of a solution?"

  Fu Fengcheng calmly said, "What can I do? I broke in alone? Even if I can get in, how many people can I bring out?"

   His gaze fell on Lou Lanzhou, "Young Lou?"

Lou Lanzhou smiled helplessly, "Grandfather has meticulous work around him. His old man was held hostage. All the Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Army participated in this matter. Now only the Sixth Army has entered the city, and the Eighth Army has more than half of it. Outside the city, someone has already stopped. The Fifth Army has not moved yet."

   "No action?" Fu Fengcheng raised his eyebrows.

Long Yue said, "The first regiment under Fei Cheng of the Fifth Army was the first regiment under the Fifth Army, Fei Cheng said. However, the Fifth Army is stationed in Ning County, seventy miles southwest of the city, and there seems to be no movement at present. I do not intend to participate in this matter."

  Fu Fengcheng said, "Then don't worry about him for now."

  No matter what happened, the fact that the Fifth Army did not move in this situation meant that at least the Fifth Army did not listen to Fei Cheng’s orders very much, which was a good thing for them.

   "What's the situation here now?" Fu Fengcheng glanced at the opposite side from the window, because there were no tall buildings around the military headquarters, although they were standing upstairs across the street, they could still see the opposite military building. The lights are brightly lit over there now, and one can guess that there are many soldiers and horses hidden in the night at a glance.

  Long Yue said, "There are too many troops in the central area. We are short of manpower. It is almost impossible to break through the Yizheng Building and the Military Building. Shao Lou and I are preparing to retreat to the periphery."

   Lou Lanzhou also nodded and said, "The soldiers and horses of the Lou family are entering the city from the west gate. Let's meet them."

   Fu Fengcheng nodded and said, "Then go."

  Long Yue glanced back at the military building opposite, and said coldly, "Ren Nanyan, right? That old thing better not fall into my hands."

  Today's situation, it can be said that Long Shao is a proud man of heaven. Even if Ren Nanyan had been his teacher, he couldn't help but want to deceive his master and destroy his ancestors.

  Lou Lanzhou smiled, "You might not catch him so easily. Shao Long still remember what the old elder was best at teaching?"

  Long Shao had a look of disgust, "So he spreads the suspicion, crosses the sea without telling the truth, and kills with the knife." He didn't like the old man's lecture style very much back then.

  The three people went downstairs, and when they were about to walk out, they heard the roar of car motors not far away. The guard at the door immediately became vigilant. Fu Fengcheng glanced at the car that was speeding up from a distance and said in a deep voice, "My own person.,"

   "Mrs. Fu Shao?" Lou Lanzhou was a little surprised. He had already seen that the driver was a woman.

  Lengsa always drove very fast, but she rushed to her in an instant. The brakes slammed, and the two people sitting in the back seat had been prepared for her driving style if they hadn't gotten used to her driving style, and they almost hit their heads.

   "You really are here." Leng Sa pushed the car door down and smiled at the three of them.

  Lou Lanzhou smiled, "Madam Fu Shao is here to find Fu Shao?"

  Looking at Fu Fengcheng who had already walked towards Leng Sa, Shao Lou suddenly became a little envious.

  Look at Long Yue next to him again, and he looked a little envious as expected.

  After all, at this time, there is still a girl who is worried about your safety and makes a special trip to find you regardless of her own safety. It is indeed a pleasant and happy thing.

  Leng Sa glanced sideways at Lou Lanzhou, couldn't help but smiled, "Lou Shao, you are a little embarrassed."

   Lou Lanzhou helplessly, "Madam Madam laughed."

  Fu Fengcheng took Leng Sa’s hand and looked at it, then said, "Why did Madam come here?"

  Leng Sa directly took out things from the pockets of the windbreaker and stuffed them into Fu Fengcheng's hands, "No, Prince Ann gave it to you, see if you can help?"

  Long Yue was a little surprised, "The young lady went to Prince Ann's Mansion? Isn't it easy to leave over there now?"

   Lengsa smiled, "Entrusted by others."

  Long Shaowei raised his eyebrows slightly, and soon figured out who was entrusted by him.

  Fu Fengcheng took a look at the things in his hand, and handed the letter to Lou Lanzhou, "I'm annoying Brother Lou."

  Lou Lanzhou looked down and found that the name of the deputy commander of the Fifth Army was written on the first envelope. The remaining two letters are for the commander of the Second Army, and the other is for a famous tycoon in the capital, whose reputation in the army is not much worse than that of Ren Nanyan.

  The most important thing is that two of these three people have a good relationship with Lou's family, and one of them is even close. No wonder Fu Fengcheng gave him the letter. If Lou Lanzhou personally came to persuade him to ask for help, he might indeed get a greater response.

   Lou Lanzhou did not shirk, put away the letter and nodded, "No problem, please rest assured, three of you."

Lou Lanzhou took the people away, Fu Fengcheng said, "Zhang Jingzhi will assemble the police and some forces in the capital to help, but he has no experience in leading troops, so I am afraid that he will trouble Brother Long." Then he threw the key and the box to Long Yue. ,"Thanks for your hard work."

  Long Yue raised his hand to catch the box, and looked at Fu Fengcheng with a deep gaze, "Brother Fu really worry about it?"

   Fu Fengcheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "What are you worried about?"

  Long Yue smiled, and slid the box into his pocket, "Nothing." Since Fu Fengcheng is not afraid of giving him weapons that can equip tens of thousands of people, of course he has nothing to say.

  He Long Yue has his own arrogance, no matter how he can't hit Fu Fengcheng's black spear at this time.

  Several people gradually withdrew from this block, and the sound of guns around them gradually became quiet.

  Looking at Long Yue leading the people away, Fu Fengcheng turned his head and said to Leng Sa, “Let’s go too, the rebels will soon come around.”

   Leng Sa nodded and said nothing, the two got into the car and drove away in the night.

    The second watch is still before nine o'clock in the evening, huh~ Meme~

     Happy New Year~
