Shen Hai wanted to say that howling is not exclusive to women, but felt that it was meaningless to talk about it. Qin Feng had no intention of letting them leave, so he could only grit his teeth and said: "It's nothing, Your Majesty, there are common people accompanying you. "

These words sounded like a concubine's love. Prince Rui said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "We are really hostages."

"Still worthless hostages." Shen Hai finally pointed out mercilessly this time: "The prince and the common people are both people who can be discarded, but Qin Feng will keep our lives, and he may have to stay for a long time in the future. Kun is alive."

King Rui's eyebrows twitched, how could this be possible?!

Although he has long been unable to compete in Dongyue, he is connected to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, has a ready-made bag of money, and is a prince. His life can be as comfortable as he wants. Xiao Lingyu has become the prince. This kid has good intentions. Yes, his good days are ahead!

How did we end up in this situation now?

King Rui couldn't laugh or cry. Shen Hai watched King Rui drink one cup after another, but he felt happy in his heart. What he couldn't do was let others do it. He knew that something big must have happened outside, something big that they couldn't bear the consequences!

The two of them were facing each other and were worried. There was a sound of brisk footsteps outside. Shen Hai stood up first and barged in without knocking. When he saw the two of them, he laughed and said, "Your Majesty, Boss Shen!"

King Rui recognized the visitor, but Shen Hai felt unfamiliar. King Rui stood up and said involuntarily: "Master Huang?"

The person who came was none other than Huang Tang. After not seeing each other for the past few years, Huang Tang's temperament changed drastically. He was no longer the low-key little character he was before. When facing Prince Rui, his expression did not change: "Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty. From today on, Your Majesty and I will be together." Mr. Shen no longer has to stay here."

"Can we get out?" King Rui blurted out, completely forgetting his identity as a hostage: "Then can we go back to East Vietnam?"

Huang Tang just looked at him with a smile, and King Rui shrank his shoulders, seemingly unable to do so.

"Your Majesty, Kun has successfully annexed the southwest. Now there is a war on the southwest border. Of course, the southwest sea has also been captured by us. You can now return without taking the sea route. It's just that this land route...guns and cannons have no eyes. Your Majesty, you still need to be careful. .”

Guns, King Rui thought of the strange carriage he saw last time, and the voices that had been ringing continuously these days, and he thought hard: "Is it a new thing that your Majesty has tinkered with, is it the same as a steam engine?"

Huang Tang smiled and said nothing, and King Rui suddenly lost his strength and said feebly: "Okay, okay, it's a good thing."

"He has really grown up, and you guys have grown up, but what have we become? If we go back to the Imperial Brotherhood, we will have to think about it. If I had known that I, the king, should not have come to get some antibiotics. This is carrying someone else's sedan chair and putting myself on the road." Come in!"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became. He turned around and rushed to the desk, pressing his hands on it: "How dare he swallow the southwest? Isn't this a direct challenge to the emperor's brother? What if he can't hold the southwest?"

"Of course it can be defended." King Rui said calmly: "Your Majesty is not reckless. Since he wants to swallow it, he must be prepared. Does King Rui know how much ammunition we have stocked up in the past few years? There is no shortage of guns and ammunition."

"East Vietnam still mainly uses cold weapons. How can it defeat our new weapons? Even the old cold weapons have been transformed by our government. Their attack power is much better than before. The person who transformed the weapons is an abandoned son of East Vietnam. ah."

"East Vietnam is not good at employing people. There are many capable people at the bottom but they are not reused. There are children in the world who are not worthy of their morals and talents. This phenomenon has never disappeared. On the contrary, it has become more and more intense. How many talents have been buried!"

"Now that they can display their talents in Dakun, they are naturally willing to go all out. Perhaps they can only show their abilities in a battle with East Vietnam. This time, in addition to guns and ammunition, new types of bows and crossbows are of great use."

Huang Tang's words were almost heartbreaking, and Prince Rui's face became increasingly ugly: "The fight is about to begin..."

"Yes, the fighting started. The troops deployed by the three garrisons near the southwest were either executed or captured. If East Vietnam wants to reallocate its troops, it will take some effort." Huang Tang said: "I am here on your Majesty's orders.

I'm here to ask the prince."

"If Your Majesty wants to return to East Vietnam at this time, you can send me off." Huang Tang deliberately emphasized: "You can go by land."

"You guys!" King Rui thought to himself that if a fight breaks out at this time, if he leaves at this time, isn't this putting him on the fire?

The more Prince Rui thought about it, the more unhappy he became. He knew in his heart that staying here was not a long-term solution. Huang Tang looked at Prince Rui's gloomy expression and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. In my opinion, the current situation means that your Majesty will stay here."

That’s not realistic here.”

"You have the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be responsible for, and Boss Shen has a huge family fortune." Huang Tang said, "Both of these cannot be given up easily."

"The two of you have agreed on when and how to leave. We will inform Boss Xu at that time and we will make our own arrangements." After Huang Tang finished speaking, he didn't stay much. He was very busy with official duties now, and both the emperor and the empress were on the front line. He had to take on heavy responsibilities.

After seeing off Huang Tang, King Rui and Shen Hai looked at each other, but now they were allowed to leave. King Rui walked out of the inn without saying anything. This time, no one stopped him, and the guards outside all withdrew!

The streets outside looked like the Chinese New Year, with red lanterns hanging everywhere. The festive atmosphere was particularly abrupt on this non-festival day. After walking a few steps, I reached the more important streets and saw the battle report.

This is a battle report to the people in the southwest. It contains the results of the battle with East Vietnam. The number of annihilations and the number of prisoners of war are written clearly. King Rui looked at the numbers above, his heart skipped a beat, and his legs were weakening.

!

"Your Majesty!" Chen Hai supported Prince Rui. He also knew in his heart what a heavy blow this would be to Dongyue. The southwest was lost and his own military power suffered serious losses. To be promoted so wantonly by Qin Feng was to put Emperor Yuan's face at risk.

Step on the ground!

"Chen Hai, have you seen it? This can't be made up, right? Huang Tang said so, and the battle report also said so. If this is true, what will the emperor do when he finds out?" King Rui finished worrying about Emperor Yuan's heart.

, then they thought to themselves: "What should we do?"

Now, should I go back or not?!

This is really difficult to handle!

What is still unclear now? It is said that a road is to be built, but what kind of road is being built? It must be the road from Dakun to the southwest!

If they want to return to Dongyue, they have to leave here to the southwest by land, and then return all the way from the southwest to Sui City. Also, the people escorting them are all gone. With so much goods, where can the two of them and the entourage they bring with them get it?

Determined.

What does this mean? They had to be escorted by Da Kun's people before they could return to the capital. They brought Da Kun's people back to the capital. Does that make sense?

The more King Rui thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He just felt dizzy for a while. When Shen Hai noticed that his body was swaying, he was about to help him, but King Rui had already fallen to the ground one step ahead!
