Chapter 236 The prince is in danger

"King Kang, throw it away quickly!"

After Kang Wang Zhao Gou heard the urgent shouts of the throwing hands protecting him,

He woke up immediately and looked at the smoking grenade in his right hand without daring to hesitate.

Zhao Gou's waist was slightly arched backward, and his right arm, which was ready to go, was suddenly thrown forward...

The grenade, which was smoking, was thrown forward at an angle of approximately 45 degrees.

Zhao Gou didn't dare to look at the grenade he threw flying into the air.

He immediately remembered the methods taught to him by the two throwers around him to avoid the damage caused by grenade explosions.

Zhao Gou quickly turned aside and jumped into the half-man deep pit in the grenade throwing test site.

He quickly lay down in the pit^

At this time, Zhao Ji, who was standing on the high platform to watch the battle, breathed a long sigh of relief after seeing Zhao Gou's performance.

It seems that our extremely lucky Ninth Prince Zhao Gou succeeded in throwing the grenade.

Zhao Ji saw that the grenade thrown by Zhao Gou drew a perfect arc in the air and landed on the open space twenty-five or six steps in front of Zhao Gou.

Zhao Ji knew that Zhao Gou, who had not had long-term training in throwing grenades, was still the first to throw live ammunition with the strength he possessed at the age of less than fourteen years old. His ability to throw such a far distance was already beyond that of many ordinary people.

The grenade was in the open space and smoked for only a second before it exploded with a "boom".

Black smoke filled the air, and debris and dirt flew everywhere.

At the same time, Prince Zhao Huan, who was being led by Li Ji and had almost reached the throwing field, heard the explosion of the grenade. He trembled with fright and almost fell to the ground.

King Yun Zhao Kai is slightly better.

However, he saw that his ninth brother Kang Wang Zhao Gou had already thrown the grenade first, seizing the opportunity. This made him jealous, and he felt the sour smell coming from his nostrils and entering his heart and lungs...

Zhao Kai said angrily: "Prince, by doing this, the ninth brother has made a big splash in front of my father!"

The sudden explosion made Prince Zhao Huan tremble with fear...

After the explosion stopped, Zhao Huan had to ease his fear a little. After he heard the provocative words of King Yun Zhao Kai, he didn't take it seriously and said with a bitter smile:

"Third brother, if my father doesn't let Gu Lai throw such a dangerous grenade, then just let the ninth brother take the limelight!"

"Alas!" King Yun Zhao Kai sighed. He looked at the cowardly and unmotivated prince next to him and was speechless for a while...

Zhao Kai was very dissatisfied with the prince occupying the position of the East Palace for a long time.

He often complained in his heart, why couldn't I have been born a few years earlier, one or two years older than Zhao Huan? In that case, with my talents in both civil and military affairs and my father's love for me the most, at that time, the East Palace

How could the position of prince fall to another family?

…

At this time, Zhao Gou's first grenade was a complete success!

Zhao Gou happily stood up from the pit and jumped out of the pit.

He held on to the half-man-high protective wall in front of him and looked at the tragic scene where the grenade he threw landed.

Zhao Gou saw that the grenade landing point twenty-five or six steps ahead had been blasted out into a pit like a cauldron.

He exclaimed: "My father is so wise and wise! How could my father research and design such a powerful grenade? It's incredible!"

The two throwers responsible for protecting Zhao Gou immediately flattered:

"The Zhao Guan family is wise, martial, and wise!"

"Kang Wang is also young and mature, and his bravery is extraordinary!"

"My subordinates are so impressed that I am so impressed!"

…

The young man Zhao Gou smiled slightly, followed his father's example, stretched out his hand, and gently patted the shoulders of the two throwers responsible for protection.

Zhao Gou said with a smile: "I can learn to throw grenades, and I have to thank you two!

You two tell me your names,

Next time I come to the training ground outside the firearms manufacturing workshop to practice throwing grenades, I will bring you some gifts.

Moreover, I have found two of you to teach me."

The two throwers who were protecting King Kang were immediately surprised and hurriedly knelt down, reported their names, and thanked him.

The young King Kang is very good at winning over people.

He always smiled and seemed very approachable.

Zhao Kai personally helped the two men up...

At this time, Prince Zhao Huan and King Yun Zhao Kai came to Zhao Gou's side.

Zhao Gou smiled slightly and saluted the two royal brothers with cupped fists...

The two throwers protecting Zhao Gou hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed and said:

"I'm going to meet the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Prince Yun..."

Young Zhao Gou clasped his fists and said calmly: "I welcome the two royal brothers to the throwing field."

Prince Zhao Huan and King Yun both nodded slightly.

At this time, Zhao Gou could not conceal his joy after successfully throwing the grenade, and said excitedly:

"The grenade designed by my father is really powerful!

However, as long as you master the throwing method, it is actually very safe for the pitcher..."

Prince Zhao Huan was still in shock. Faced with the Ninth Emperor's indifferent statement, he really couldn't agree with it.

King Yun Zhao Kai sighed in his heart: Xiao Jiuer, you are the first to successfully throw a grenade. You have already grabbed the spotlight, and you are still saying these sarcastic words in front of me?!

He was angry and complained to Zhao Gou:

"Ninth brother, you are brave and brave! You successfully threw the grenade first, but you made the prince and the king look timid in front of my father!"

"Alas!" Prince Zhao Huan sighed. After hearing Zhao Kai's words, he nodded with deep understanding.

Zhao Gou saw that the two royal brothers were not very friendly towards him. He originally planned to go to the viewing platform and accompany his father.

However, he then thought about it. If he did that, wouldn't it be inconsistent with the courtesy of 'brothers, friends and brothers' respect that his father always liked?

The young Zhao Gou was shameless and said respectfully, regardless of the ugly expressions on the faces of the two royal brothers, the Crown Prince and Prince Yun:

"My little brother is here to cheer for the two royal brothers! The two royal brothers will definitely be able to successfully throw the grenade!"

When Zhao Huan and Zhao Kai saw that Zhao Gou wanted to stay with them, they had no way to force the Nine Emperors away...

At this time, Zhao Kai bowed to Prince Zhao Huan, clasped his fists, and saluted:

"In order of eldest and youngest, I respectfully invite my royal brother to throw first!"

After he finished saying this, he glanced sideways at King Kang Zhao Gou who was standing next to the prince.

Zhao Huan quickly waved his hand and said: "Brother Wei, let's watch the third brother throw the grenade first! Brother Wei must learn how to operate it and then try it again."

Please third brother vote first!"

Zhao Kai smiled slightly and said:

"Little brother, I obey!"

…

At this time, Zhao Ji, who was standing on the high platform watching the battle,

Although I couldn't hear clearly the conversation between the three princes in the throwing practice field ahead,

However, he saw their polite behavior towards each other from a distance.

There is deep meaning in Zhao Ji's smile.

In fact, he knew that the three princes, although they appeared to be brothers and sisters, were actually very different from each other and had their own agendas.

However, Zhao Ji likes to watch the competition between princes, so that they can quickly promote their respective growth and progress.

As long as the competition between the princes is within the controllable range, and each of them wants to claim credit and favor in front of me, the benefits of this are:

First, it can play a role in checking and balancing the power of each prince, which is beneficial to me;

Secondly, if there is competition among the princes, they can really win over a great general. If someone is as heroic as King Qin Li Shimin and has great talents and strategies, it will be beneficial to the country. I also agree!

However, Zhao Ji felt that the possibility of cultivating heroes like Li Shimin was almost zero no matter how hard he tried to train the princes left behind by his lord Song Huizong!

However, I would be very happy if I could cultivate one or two princes who are slightly better than the group of princes from the Kingdom of Jin who are good at conquering and fighting.

…

At this time, King Yun Zhao Kai stretched out his hand, pointed at the two throwers who had just taught Zhao Gou how to throw grenades, and said: "I will choose you two to teach Zhao Gou how to throw grenades.

If you two don't use all your abilities to teach me, you will be severely punished!"
