The new emperor of Dongling has ascended the throne, and his identity is still the crown prince of Nancheng. When Chu Yunning heard the news, his eyebrows could knot into knots.
"Who gave Xiao Jingyan the bad idea?"
It seems that Chu Yunning underestimated the twelfth prince. Xiao Jingheng smiled: "It's probably some mysterious person who did it."
Chu Yunning remained silent. If she hadn't shot Shen Bi with her own hands, she would have almost thought that Shen Bi was causing trouble and believing in the fallacy that the prince of Nancheng was destined to die.
It couldn't be Shen Bi, everyone turned into ashes.
"Xiao Jingyan is indeed very smart." Chu Yunning suddenly felt like he had met his opponent.
After meeting him several times, she had never underestimated Xiao Jingyan, who looked as gentle as jade on the surface but was actually sinister and cunning.
This move of the golden cicada to escape from its shell is indeed very clever!
After successfully ascending the throne without being disturbed by the world, and a few people knowing that he was a fake, Chu Yunning sighed, this matter was really a bit tricky.
Originally, they planned to attack Dongling in the name of the wise king's rebellion, but now this reason is no longer valid.
"If we attack forcefully, we will definitely be accused of being belligerent and killing people, causing loss of life." Chu Yunning muttered.
If we don't attack, Chu'er's condition will be delayed.
Xiao Jingheng turned his head and glanced at Chu Yunning: "Why bother to accuse him if you want to?"
After saying that, Chu Yunning looked at Xiao Jingheng in surprise. She always felt that Xiao Jingheng had changed, and sometimes he was a bit rogue.
However, she likes it!
"You are just worried about Chu'er's illness. You are too anxious and disturbed." Xiao Jingheng said softly, pointing to a topographic map not far away: "We are still fifteen cities away from the capital of Dongling.
The distance is so small that it is not difficult to attack."
"Then according to the emperor's opinion, how should we attack Dongling in a logical manner?"
Xiao Jingheng smiled: "Of course I want to ask for the Xianwang. The Xianwang is the twelfth prince most loved by the late emperor. He disappeared in Dongling for no reason. Dongling should give an explanation."
Speaking of this, Chu Yunning gave a thumbs up without hesitation: "The emperor is still wise and powerful!"
So Xiao Jingheng issued an order, limiting Dongling to hand over the virtuous king Xiao Jingyan within three days, otherwise he would seek justice for Xiao Jingyan!
The two sides persisted for two days. Chu Yunning was a little absent-minded in the camp, and Beibei comforted her with a few words.
"Mom, don't be sad, we can definitely save my eldest brother."
In fact, Beibei was also very anxious. He wanted to save people, but his brother's life was too hard.
Chu Yunning knelt down and gently touched Beibei's cheek: "Your eldest brother is also thinking about you very much. Beibei, be good. Mother is just thinking about something."
"Yeah." Beibei Xiaoji nodded like he was pecking at rice.
At this time Yu'er came in and said: "Sister Ning, something is very strange. It seems that someone knows that we have a beast army. There are very few beasts on several mountains in Dongling. I summoned several times, but only a few
Not a single hare, wild goose, or ferocious beast was seen."
Hearing this, Chu Yunning suddenly felt something was wrong. She even had a sixth sense, and the other party was prepared for some things.
"Beasts within a hundred kilometers will definitely come if they hear the call, but there is obviously interference, and there are no wild beasts within a hundred kilometers." Yu'er frowned and added with some worry: "This has never happened before.
thing."
Chu Yunning pondered for a moment: "If it is transferred from other mountains, how long will it take?"
There is a drawback to these beasts. If they are trained by the fish themselves, they will be obedient. If they are the kind of beasts attracted by the sound of the flute, they will still return to their bestial nature once they are out of the fish's control.
In order to prevent these beasts from hurting people, these beasts are usually placed in the mountains and summoned when necessary.
Without the support of the beast, the chance of winning this battle would be even lower.
Yu'er hesitated: "If we hurry, we can arrive in seven or eight days. Sister Ning, I now suspect that the other party also has a beast master who can control these beasts."
Yu'er is not the only beast master. Rare does not mean that there is none. Now that Yu'er has raised questions, Chu Yunning had to be more prepared, so she immediately had more bows and arrows prepared, bold.
Double the amount, and prepare a large amount of high-concentration drugs.
"If two parties meet, what are the chances that you can recall the beast?" Chu Yunning asked again worriedly.
Yu'er shook his head: "I have never tried it, and I don't know what the opponent's beast master skills are. The only thing I can be sure of is that he is better than me."
Almost overnight, all wild animals within a hundred kilometers disappeared without anyone noticing.
Even fish may not be able to do this.
Chu Yunning's heart sank. This was indeed not good news for Nanduan. This made him even more afraid to act rashly to avoid unnecessary losses. His mood was a little complicated for the moment.
She stood on the city wall, feeling the summer wind blowing, and felt a little dry in her heart. She looked not far away, and there was a sense of helplessness surrounding her.
"Aning?"
Xiao Jingheng was walking towards this side from a short distance away. He already knew what Yu'er was talking about. After searching around in private, he saw Chu Yunning standing on the city wall.
Chu Yunning turned her head and suddenly saw a deep black crater in the open space behind Xiao Jingheng. It was the mark of the shells and had not been repaired. She immediately asked: "I remember when the prince of Nancheng died.
, there are still four shells left, right?”
"Yeah." Xiao Jingheng had experienced the power of that. He put the things in the warehouse and sent someone to guard them. No one was allowed to approach them, and no one knew where they were.
Chu Yunning gritted her teeth: "I want to try to see if I can make a few more."
If cannonballs can't be made, biochemical weapons can be used. Her physics class is also good. She has done countless experiments in college and disassembled the structure of cannonballs. She doesn't know much about the composition of cannonballs, but she can add some other weapons.
So Xiao Jingheng took Chu Yunning to see the four artillery shells. Chu Yunning secretly sighed, if Dongling had not been captured in time, based on these, the south end would definitely suffer.
The southern end just takes advantage of time.
Chu Yunning disassembled the cannon shells and studied the assembly carefully. She asked Xiao Jingheng to find a group of people to build the forts in large quantities. Each person produced different parts, and they were all trustworthy people to do the work. The secret
conduct.
Another group of people were hired to install these forts one by one, and the hundredth one was built in just one day.
No wonder Shen Bi only has four units. This thing costs too much gold, and several parts are made of gold.
These one hundred units cost her a lot of gold, but fortunately she had a lot of money, otherwise it would not be enough.
Chu Yunning briefly tested the attack power of the artillery shells. The range was about one kilometer, but the lethality was not strong, so Chu Yunning began to study the lethality day and night.
…
aventurine
"Your Majesty, the southern army has occupied the border town of Dongling and I don't know what they are doing. There are explosions and thick smoke billowing from time to time. Are they doing some evil magic?" a minister asked.
"That's not a magic spell, that's the power of cannonballs." Someone explained: "Back when Nanduan shamelessly attacked the border town, these cannonballs were researched by our people."
“The South End is a total bandit!”
All the civil and military officials cursed angrily. Xiao Jingyan, who was at the head, listened silently and waited until everyone had finished arguing before speaking: "The south end is clamoring to hand over the virtuous king Xiao Jingyan, otherwise he will lead troops into the city. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, hasn't Xiao Jingyan already left Dongling?" Everyone was puzzled, but they couldn't refute such a shameless request.
Xiao Jamyan rubbed his eyebrows and felt that Xiao Jamheng was becoming more and more difficult to deal with. He had underestimated the other party.
How can he be a good person after sitting on the throne for more than ten years?
After a long time, Xiao Jingyan spoke: "Send people to spread the word. The Southern Emperor is shameless. He ignores the rules and joins forces with his former sister-in-law to try to provoke a fight. It is a heinous crime with countless casualties. We must let the people spread it. If there are casualties, if necessary,
We must expand our influence and let the people know that if they don’t resist quickly, they will end up in the West Sea!”
"My emperor is wise!"
This move can not only inspire the people of Dongling to resist, but also slander the reputations of Xiao Jingheng and Chu Yunning, make them lose face, and shake the opponent's military morale!
So the rumors flew through the streets and alleys as if they had wings, and spread to the south end at an extremely fast speed.
Of course, the news couldn't escape Chu Yunning's ears. She clenched her fists tightly, silently adding hatred to Xiao Jingyan in her heart!
