Li Chengqian finally left Wang's Clothing Factory. The price Wang Gang offered was too high. It cost 10 million taels to kill Fan Xian. It was tripled to kill the second prince Li Chengze. He didn't even dare to ask how much it would cost to kill Emperor Qing.
After seeing off Li Chengqian, Wang Gang came to the dark room below Bufang, where the Black Scorpion and Iron Rat from the Thirteenth Wing had been living.
"My Lord, that Li Chengqian actually wants to kill his own father and brother. He is worse than a beast." Black Scorpion personally handed the towel to Wang Gang.
Wang Gang touched his face with a towel, and the bones on his face changed and returned to their original appearance.
"The imperial family has been ruthless since ancient times. In order to consolidate the imperial power, Emperor Qing deliberately raised the status of the second prince Li Chengze and let him compete with the prince Li Chengqian to balance the forces of both sides and completely wiped out the affection between father and son." Wang Gang snorted coldly.
Black Scorpion said in confusion: "My lord, why did you help Li Chengqian kill Qin Ye and let the Poison King take action? The investigation agency almost noticed the clues."
Wang Gang sneered and said: "I came to Kyoto this time to settle the grudges I had made sixteen years ago. Back then, Qin Ye also participated in the Taiping Villa tragedy and indirectly killed my mother.
He is going to die anyway, so it would be nice to help Anhe make a fortune before he dies."
Tie Shu sighed: "If the Lord hadn't secretly run the Underwater Killer Organization in recent years, and cooperated with Li Yunrui to transfer a large amount of grain and grass from the south of the Yangtze River, 30% of the people in the grassland would have died."
Wang Gang said: "Now that Yuan and Meng have established their country, as long as they establish commercial relations with Dongyi, they can exchange cattle and sheep fur for food and grass, solving the food crisis, and you no longer need to take risks and kill people."
In the bitter cold land deep in the grassland, it is impossible to grow crops and can only make a living as a nomad. Although he is good at riding and shooting, and his cavalry is unparalleled in the world, food has always been a big problem.
Especially in the past two years, the grassland has snowed heavily, killing many cattle and sheep, and the food crisis has become more serious.
In the past, when encountering such food shortages, the solution for grassland tribes was to launch wars, plunder weak tribes, or even march eastward to plunder the border cities of Nanqing.
This approach has two advantages. One is that the war consumes a large number of people and the food consumption will be reduced. There are even many small tribes that still retain the tradition of cannibalism. The soldiers who died in the war are food.
Second, waging war can gain more territory and expand strength. Many large tribes have developed in this way.
Ten years ago, Wang Gang went deep into the grassland and founded the first generation of the Thirteen Wings. Starting from a small tribe, he gradually annexed surrounding forces. Finally, three years ago, he defeated the largest power in the grassland, Xihu and the coalition forces of Youzhang Wangting, and unified the grassland.
Founding of the Yuan Dynasty.
Although Wang Gang created unprecedented achievements in the grassland, the newly built Yuanmeng encountered a lot of problems. In addition, it encountered a snowstorm that had never happened in a century. Yuanmeng encountered an unprecedented crisis just after its establishment.
In order to overcome the difficulties, Wang Gang had only two options in front of him.
The first is to launch war according to the grassland tradition, consume the population and fight for resources.
Because the grasslands have been unified, there is no way to rob small tribes anymore, so we can only use troops against the two big countries of Nanqing and Northern Qi.
But Wang Gang was worried that whether he chose Nanqing or Northern Qi, it would stimulate the alliance between the two countries. After all, the grasslands were considered barbarians in the eyes of Northern Qi and Nanqing. Under the huge external pressure, it would be easy to promote the alliance between the two countries and create a way for Emperor Qing to unify the world.
Chance.
Of course, Wang Gang couldn't give Emperor Qing an advantage in vain, so he chose the second path, establishing contact with Li Yunrui, the eldest princess of Nanqing, and secretly purchased a large amount of grain and grass to supply the grassland people.
Li Yunrui controls the inner treasury, is intertwined with the richest forces in Jiangnan, and holds massive resources.??
Wang Gang used Thirteen Wings to create the Underwater Killer Organization, and while earning a large amount of gold and silver, it really attracted Li Yunrui's attention.
The two parties hit it off immediately, one was rich, the other was rich, and then Anhe became the sharpest knife in Li Yunrui's hand, helping her eliminate all enemies.
It's a pity that although the eldest princess of Qing is known as the most beautiful woman in Nanqing and has been toying with the court for decades, she is a short-sighted woman.
She not only emptied her internal treasury without telling Emperor Qing, she even knew that cooperating with Wang Gang would nourish and strengthen hostile grassland forces, but she still ignored it and got stuck in it.
Because the Dark River Killer is so easy to use, as long as you give enough money, there is anyone who can't be killed. Li Yunrui just has endless money in his hands, so naturally he doesn't care about the three melons and two dates. By the time she realizes that something is wrong, she is already in the mud and can't extricate herself.
.
The assassination of Qin Ye this time was the dark river that Li Yunrui introduced to the prince Li Chengqian.
Originally, after the grassland grain crisis was resolved, Wang Gang wanted to disband Anhe, but he unexpectedly found Li Chengqian. Since he was already full-fledged, he wanted to resolve the grievances of sixteen years ago.
So Wang Gang changed his mind and even came to Kyoto in person, transformed into Wang Han, and took the initiative to contact Li Chengqian with the intention of disrupting Qing's internal affairs.
At the same time, he sent Akainu and Bailu as envoys to Northern Qi and Dongyi to win an alliance and deal with Nanqing together.
"Your Majesty, Feng Ying has sent news and wants to come and meet with the Lord." Tie Shu said to Wang Gang.
"Don't meet for the time being." Wang Gang shook his head and said, "Now that every move of the mission is under the surveillance of the Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, it is easy to be exposed when meeting at this time.
You ask the Poison King to hide as well and don’t come here for the time being."
"Lord, we might as well rush into the palace and kill Emperor Qing." Tie Shu suggested: "With the strength of our Thirteen Wings, even if there is a grand master in the Qing Palace, they can't stop us."
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "What I worry about is not the Grand Master, but the temple."
Black Scorpion and Iron Rat were even more puzzled. The temple had always ignored worldly matters, and the temple's messenger, the dragon, was nowhere to be found. What was the Lord worried about?
Naturally, Wang Gang couldn't tell his subordinates. He was worried that he would dominate the world, stimulate world development, and prematurely alarm the supercomputer in the temple.
The world of Qing Yu Nian is not the ancient world, but the future. It is a civilization that has redeveloped after the last civilized world was destroyed by nuclear bombs.
There are still products of the previous civilization in the world, and that is temples.
The temple is actually a military museum, in which a brain is stored and produces autonomous intelligence.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhinao takes protecting the earth's civilization as its own responsibility. It believes that the excessive development of human beings will only bring destruction, so it transforms into a temple and uses robots as temples.
Envoys spread the products of the previous civilization, while at the same time restricting the rapid development of civilization and destroying all signs of science and technology.
Wang Gang was able to create black gunpowder, and even used the grassland empire as a starting point to develop a capital monster, conquer the world and unify the Central Plains within ten years.
But this will definitely attract the attention of the temple.
Wang Gang didn't know how many weapons from previous civilizations were stored in that museum, or even how many robots were stored in the temple.
Starting a war hastily will only plunge the people of the Yuan-Meng Empire into a state of eternal disaster.
Although he is not a good person, he does not want the business he built to be easily destroyed by the temple.
So he chose to play it safe and use a more complicated method to resolve the grudges from sixteen years ago, while at the same time exploring the exact location of the temple.
Because in this world, there are only two people who have reached the temple and come back alive, and one of them is being held in the prison of the Inspection Institute.
…………
Prince Li Chengqian secretly left Wang's Bufang and did not return to the East Palace immediately. Instead, he went to find his aunt Li Yunrui.
Li Yunrui did not live in the Princess Mansion, but in the Guangxin Palace of the Imperial Palace.
The reason for this is that she is the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother and is deeply loved by the Queen Mother, so she has been living in the palace.
As the prince, Li Chengqian could go anywhere in the palace except Emperor Qing's harem, and his aunt Li Yunrui was a place he often visited.
Li Yunrui has lived in seclusion in the palace all year round, controlling the power of the inner treasury and even dealing with courtiers. Apart from his means, his most important reliance is his appearance.
She is known as the most beautiful woman in Nanqing. Although she has given birth to a daughter and is already old, she is well-maintained. She is in her thirties, but has a pretty face of seventeen or eighteen years old.
?The youthful appearance and mature temperament make many men unable to stop.
When Li Chengqian walked into the palace, he saw Li Yunrui leaning on the couch and taking a nap, while two maids fanned him to cool him down.
"You guys go down!" Li Chengqian sent all the palace people away, picked up the fan himself, and fanned Li Yunrui, just as long as he had a cup of tea.
When Li Yunrui woke up, she saw her nephew fanning her.
"Auntie, you're awake." Li Chengqian chuckled.
Li Yunrui stretched lazily, exuding a different kind of charm, which made Li Chengqian look straight at him.
"When did the prince arrive?" Li Yunrui stared at Li Chengqian with a pair of peach blossom eyes.
"How could you do this?"
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "I am willing to fan my aunt for the rest of my life."
"You are the Crown Prince, and every word and deed represents the face of the Qing Kingdom." Li Yunrui stretched out his slender hand and took the fan from Li Chengqian's hand.
"Have you ever met the leader of Anhe?" Li Yunrui asked.
"I've seen them before." Li Chengqian said: "These desperadoes are really powerful. A ninth-level master can assassinate them."
Li Yunrui said dissatisfied: "You are the crown prince, how can you personally come forward to do this kind of thing? You should let the people below handle it."
"It's a very important matter, I don't worry about the others." Li Chengqian sat beside Li Yunrui's bed, showing no intention of moving.
"You too, why do you have to kill Qin Ye? If he dies, if someone is inserted into the Privy Council by Li Chengze, wouldn't it be detrimental to you?"
Li Chengqian said coldly: "Qin Ye doesn't know how to praise, and his aunts all condescend to recruit him, but he is unmoved. You can't keep such a person."
"You!" Li Yunrui tapped Li Chengqian lightly with his finger and said, "It doesn't matter if I feel a little wronged."
Li Chengqian excitedly held Li Yunrui's hand and said, "It's OK for Qin Ye to insult me, but it's not OK to insult my aunt."
Two blushes appeared on Li Yunrui's face, like a delicate flower, which made Li Chengqian's heart flutter.
