Chapter two hundred and forty-ninth fish take the bait
Seeing Shen Ao's silly and cheerful look, Xuefei was extremely happy and moved. She could not forget the scene when Shen Ao shouted loudly for her to leave and ran to Young Master Xiaoyao alone. For her own sake, the young master risked his life , this act alone was enough to move her deeply. She escaped safely this time, and she will protect Shen Ao better in the future and will never let anyone hurt him.
They were happy here, but Yan Fu and others on the other side had already turned around. Based on the idea of seeing no evil, they did not dare to look around. When Shen Ao's voice sounded again, Yan Fu turned around He turned around and looked at Shen Ao and said loudly: "Mr. Zhongguo, your Majesty needs an explanation for this matter. Please come to the palace."
"Okay." He agreed without much hesitation. Shen Ao also knew that the emperor had to give an explanation for making such a big noise. He was even prepared to bleed, but he had a Bottom line, he will not tell anyone the secret recipe of Tianlei. If this thing is used well, it will naturally be extremely powerful and can effectively frighten and kill the enemy. If it is not used well, it will hurt itself at any time.
Now that he has become an official in the court, Shen Ao has a better understanding of Daqian. Because of this, he will not hand over the secret recipe of Tianlei, because no one can guarantee that if he takes it out now, the secret recipe will be It will not be spread out. If it falls into the hands of those ambitious vassal kings, or is obtained by neighboring countries, the only unlucky people will be the soldiers and people of Daqian. This is something he does not want to see.
Xuefei was fine, and Shen Ao's worries were relieved. After a simple tidying up, he went to the palace. When Yan Fu left, he handed over the finishing work to Dai Mubai and Shi Hongyun. According to external reports, Let me tell you one thing: Thunder was wrathful and fireballs fell from the sky, causing all this.
Attribute everything to God and eliminate any man-made possibility. In this way, the secret of Tianlei can be kept to ensure that the day is really needed to kill the enemy by surprise.
Yan Fu felt very relieved when a matter was handed over to the Emperor Guards and Silver Armor Guards to complete together. If they could not do even this small thing well, Dai Mubai and Shi Hongyun would not let His Majesty pay so much attention to it and rely on their humerus.
In the palace, Emperor Qianwen had already dressed up and came to the Yangxin Hall.
Such a big thing happened, and the explosion was so strong, how could he sleep? Fortunately, compared to the panic of others, the emperor, who had already known the power of the thunder, was relatively calm and dispatched the police immediately. His confidant Yan Fu went out to take charge of the situation. At the same time, he also wanted to take this opportunity to have a good talk with Shen Ao. It would be best if he could get the secret recipe of Tianlei. Even if he couldn't get it, Shen Ao would have to promise him. If he needs it, Shen Ao must provide enough thunder for his use.
Thinking that he would wipe Shen Ao's butt this time, this request should be approved. Emperor Qianwen was in a very good mood.
Another person who is also in a good mood is Ginjiawei Senhe Liuxiong.
Although Han Ce told him to find a suitable opportunity and make sure there is no danger before taking action, Liu Xiong couldn't wait any longer. He was worried that Chen Hou would not be able to bear the torture of Marquis Zhongcheng and confessed himself. If so, he would Completely finished.
Not wanting to have such terrible consequences, the only thing he could do was to kill Chen Hou, so that everything would be over. Liu Xiong has been looking for opportunities.
It was tonight that the opportunity suddenly appeared. The prison, which was originally very tightly guarded, suddenly withdrew a lot of its personnel. Even Marquis Zhongcheng, who had been living and living here for the past few days, also suddenly left.
If something like this happened normally, Liu Xiong would still be confused and wonder if this was a trap designed for him. But after seeing the fire in Dongcheng and the sound like thunder, Liu Xiong was completely
Feel relieved.
He did not believe that even God was against him and made such a big noise to set a trap for him. On the contrary, he believed that God was helping him and found a suitable opportunity for him to assassinate Chen Hou.
Liu Xiong decided to take action. Just when everyone's attention was attracted by the fire and explosions in Dongcheng, he sneaked into the prison secretly and used his familiarity with the environment to bypass several guards and came to
Outside the prison where Chen Hou is imprisoned.
Although it was pitch black inside, Liu Xiong could still vaguely see a person huddled in the cell, and his figure was very similar to Chen Hou. Then he put down his high-spiritedness and raised his knife to cut open the door of the cell.
The iron chain flew into the prison, and he chopped it with his knife.
The sound of the knife was accompanied by the force of the wind, and it fell straight on the head of "Chen Hou". He was about to succeed, and when blood spattered three feet, Liu Xiong's eyes showed a proud smile.
But at the next moment, the smile was imprisoned. The black shadow actually moved and jumped to the side with a very flexible posture. Then there was a dazzling scene in front of Liu Xiong. Before Liu Xiong could figure out what happened
, he sadly discovered that the sword that originally belonged to him was now resting on his neck, shining coldly.
Liu Xiong was captured!
Even if he was beaten to death, he would never have thought that the Chen Hou he wanted to kill had already taken poison and died. This prisoner in prison was just a bait, a substitute, and he was also a Huajin master who was much stronger than him in kung fu - Ao Jiu.
Because Ao Jiu had a similar figure to Chen Hou, Shen Ao put him in prison to complete the task of making a bait. This is why when Shen Ao was attacked at night, only Ao Qi and Ao Ba showed up, but they could not see him.
The reason is.
Shen Ao walked out of the palace, and Yan Fu saw him off personally with a smile on his face.
Shen Ao, on the other hand, had a calm face. It was hard to tell whether he was angry or happy. The fact was not what he expected. The emperor indeed used what happened tonight to make matters worse, saying that the thunder from the sky would have a great impact, and he was afraid that some officials would have more trouble.
Guess, once they know that he has the secret recipe for such a powerful weapon as Tianlei, they may jointly report it. If that is the case, Shen Ao will have no other choice but to hand over the secret recipe.
Rather than being forced by the ministers, it is better to hand it over voluntarily, so that Emperor Qianwen can handle the matter from beginning to end and ensure that he will not have any money relationship with Shen Ao.
It's just that regardless of what Emperor Qianwen said, Shen Ao had no intention of giving in when analyzing the situation with him. When it came to the secret recipe of Tianlei, he didn't say a word and made Emperor Qianwen who was sitting in the main hall furious.
Beard glared.
If other ministers dared to have such an attitude, Emperor Qianwen would have ordered their arrest long ago. Then he used countless methods to make Shen Ao speak.
But he is Shen Ao!
What else could Emperor Qianwen do? Intimidation was not enough? Incentives and inducements were ineffective, and people refused to listen to reason. In desperation, Emperor Qianwen had to settle for the next best thing and allowed Shen Ao to keep the secret recipe, but only the two of them could get it. use.
In other words, if Shen Ao is in danger, he can use it for things like today. If Daqian is in danger, he can use it if the war requires it. Otherwise, no matter who offers what value and conditions, it can't be used. Once it is discovered that the matter is untrue, then not only Shen Ao is guilty, but the entire Zhongguo Duke's family is guilty of serious crimes.
Emperor Qianwen could not embarrass Shen Ao for the sake of Aoxue, provided that he would not be an enemy of his own father. On the contrary, if he were an enemy, he would ignore all relationships between father and son, and husband and wife. This is his bottom line as an emperor.
Of course, Shen Ao agreed. To be honest, he couldn't understand why Emperor Qianwen didn't force himself. As he said, if he was threatened with the lives of the entire Zhongguo Palace, he would definitely not be able to withstand it. , but just didn’t do it this way.
It is said that Emperor Qianwen was a soft-hearted person. The former prince was his biological son, so he should be killed if he was told to kill him, right?
Shen Ao couldn't figure it out, so he blamed everything on the fact that he could create wealth for Da Qian. It was precisely because he was useful to the emperor that he tolerated himself again and again.
As for saying that the sky thunder can only be used by them, Shen Ao naturally agreed immediately. He had no intention of selling the sky thunder in the first place. Even if Emperor Qianwen did not ask, he would abide by this rule.
The two parties had reached an agreement and felt relieved. Shen Ao left the palace and saw Ao Qi waiting for him outside the palace. "Young Master, someone wanted to assassinate Chen Hou, but he has been caught now. Do you think?"
"Well, who is it?" He thought in his mind that someone had indeed been fooled, and Shen Ao was also a little excited. He was just about to see who it was that wanted to frame the eldest princess.
"His name is Liu Xiong, and he is a Qianhu of the Silver Armor Guards. It is said that some people have seen him having some contact with Han Ce, the chief staff of King Xiang." When Ao Qi said these words, there was a smile on his face. It seems that the matter is already obvious, this time it must be King Xiang.
When Shen Ao heard the words, he didn't think so. Instead, after pondering for a moment, he turned around and entered the palace again. He wanted to see Yan Fu again. He wanted to hand over Liu Xiong, which was equivalent to handing over the trouble. .
In Ao Qi's view, if Liu Xiong is caught, he can clear the eldest princess's wrongdoing, which is not wrong. But if Liu Xiong really belongs to Prince Xiang, he cannot keep him, at least not by his side, otherwise he will be A time bomb that may explode at any time.
Now Shen Ao just wants to do business to make money and quietly develop some of his own power. The premise is just to protect himself. He has not yet thought of overthrowing Da Qian and making himself emperor. But if he wants to do this, Shen Ao must maintain Being aloof, it is not a wise move to get involved in a royal internal fight like this.
Facing the internal fight between the eldest princess and Prince Xiang, no matter who he helps, he will not have any good results in the end. If this arouses the dissatisfaction of the emperor, why, you, a little loyal prince, actually want to control the situation? It is definitely not a good thing to engage in royal affairs. Once the emperor holds a grudge, it will be very difficult for him to do anything in the future.
