Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 648
As the Chief Secretary of the Supervision Department, Li Zhongqi was very loyal to Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, and he also had the power to meet the emperor directly without communication.

When everyone saw him coming in a hurry, they suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, I have received the latest news. Tuoba Xueye, the strongest man in the northern prairie, was killed by Lu Hao!"

Supervision Department Li Zhongqi bowed slightly and reported loudly.

"What? Tuoba Xueye was also killed? This...how is this possible?"

Sui Yang Emperor Nangong Kun's expression changed drastically.

If Lu Hao killed Baili Feiying, who had just been promoted to the Grandmaster level, it was acceptable to him, then it would be incredible for Lu Hao to kill Tuoba Xueye, who had long been famous in the prairie.

"Your Majesty, nothing is impossible. I heard that Emperor Yongtai has a more powerful rifle. What is it called a sniper rifle? It is amazingly powerful, but no one has seen the true lethality of this gun. If the power of this sniper rifle is It is ten times more powerful than ordinary rifles, so it is not impossible to kill a master-level strongman."

Li Zhongqi explained loudly.

"Last time, the three ninth-grade masters we sent were all wiped out. They probably encountered this kind of firearm. It would be great if we could steal this sniper rifle back."

Emperor Sui Yang said with a gloomy face.

"Your Majesty, I heard that this sniper rifle is kept in a box. Lu Hao carries it on his back every time and never takes it from others. I think the power of this weapon must be amazing."

Li Zhongping said loudly.

"This cunning guy, it seems it's not easy to steal this weapon!"

Emperor Sui Yang looked at the ministers below.

"Your Majesty, I have an idea. Isn't the Thirteenth Princess married to Lu Hao? Maybe we can succeed by asking her to take action."

Prime Minister Han Dexian spoke loudly.

"Let the princess steal? This is also a good idea, but what happened last time seemed to make her angry, and she even wrote a letter to scold me!"

Emperor Sui Yang smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty, it's best for Concubine Qing to come forward in this matter. I think the princess listens to the concubine most, so..."

Han Dexian is indeed scheming.

"I understand what you mean, um... let me think about this..."

Emperor Sui Yang nodded slightly and understood what the Prime Minister meant.

"Your Majesty, I have already told Dugu Jin about the news that Lu Hao killed Tuoba Xueye. I wonder if it is appropriate?"

Li Zhongqi added loudly.

Dugu Jin's uncle is the world-famous Dugu Sword Master and one of the four recognized masters in the mainland.

Previously, the royal family of the Sui Empire sent someone to invite him to go out and kill Lu Hao, but he did not agree because he felt that he would be ridiculed if he took action against a junior.

Later, Dugu Jin was taken advantage of by the royal family and was seriously injured. This incident had aroused his murderous intention, but because he knew that this was a trick of the royal family, he still held back.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, the Nangong family also has a master-level master, Patriarch Nangong.

Since Patriarch Nangong didn’t take action, why should he?
"Is Dugu Jin still in Dixin City now?"

Emperor Sui Yang asked.

"Yes, he has been recuperating in Dixin City, and has invited the Sword Master three times and four times to take action, but there has been no response."

Li Zhongqi responded loudly.

"Well, you might as well tell Dugu Jin, let him know that Lu Hao is already a master-level expert, and he can only invite Dugu Sword Master to take action."

Emperor Sui Yang nodded slightly and said thoughtfully. "There is another piece of news. I don't know whether it is true or false, so I dare not report it to the emperor."

Li Zhongqi said loudly.

"Tell me, what's the news?"

Emperor Sui Yang asked.

"The news came. It is said that Lu Hao and Tuoba Xueye only had one move to decide the winner, and it was Lu Hao who killed Tuoba Xueye instantly..."

Li Zhongqi said with a grimace.

"What? Instant kill? Impossible! How can a master-level master be killed instantly? You can know the truth and falsehood even if you use your brain!"

Emperor Sui Yang was shocked and firmly refused to believe that Lu Hao could kill Tuoba Xueye instantly.

"Master Li, if Lu Hao can kill Baili Feiying, he must be a master-level expert. However, Tuoba Xueye has been a master-level expert in his early years. The gap between the two should not be big. If Lu Hao kills Tuoba Xueye, He must have used a powerful firearm, how could he kill Tuoba Xueye instantly with one move? This news must be false!"

Nangong Zhen analyzed in detail.

"Well, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is absolutely true. I also think this is Lu Hao bragging, or someone is spreading lies."

Prime Minister Han Dexian also interjected.

"Since this news is false, we don't have to worry about it. Mr. Li, you pay close attention to the news in Dixin City, do you understand?"

Emperor Sui Yang said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I understand."

Li Zhongqi understood that the emperor asked him to keep an eye on Dugu Sword Master to see when he would come out.
If Lu Hao really wanted to be killed, Dugu Sword Master would undoubtedly have an overwhelming advantage and could very well kill Lu Hao in one move.

Emperor Sui Yang wished that Dugu Sword Master would kill Lu Hao. In this case, the Chinese Empire would not be much of a threat.

Soon, the court meeting ended, and Emperor Sui Yang returned to the harem and walked towards Concubine Qing's palace.

The last time Nangong Wuhen was sent into the Yunmeng Mountains to provoke conflicts between the ethnic minorities and the empire, this incident made Nangong Ruoxue very angry.

For this reason, she wrote to her mother and concubine, scolding her father for causing trouble and asking the Sui Empire not to provoke the Chinese Empire again, otherwise, there would be consequences.

Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty was very angry when he saw the letter and scolded Concubine Qing. He has not gone to see her these days and does not know what the situation is.

However, it might be a bit difficult for Concubine Qing to write a letter to Nangong Ruoxue and ask her to find an opportunity to steal Lu Hao's sniper rifle.

The trouble is that Nangong Ruoxue is not obedient at all now. Instead, she marries a chicken and follows the chicken, married a dog and follows the dog, and follows Lu Hao to the end.

……

On the other side, there are Zheng and Yue in the Eighteenth Dynasty of Western Chu.

Last time, Lu Hao led the First Fleet of the Imperial Navy and looted half of the country. How could he possibly be able to swallow this sigh of relief?
Although the Empire dispatched the Second Army of the Central Army, they still refused to give up and wanted to invade the Empire's territory through the river in the middle.

It's a pity that when they heard that Lu Hao had entered the northern prairie and wiped out a million-strong army in the prairie, they were dumbfounded.

The firearms of the Chinese Empire have spread throughout the continent. With the fall of the Eastern Turks and the northern steppes, the only ones that can challenge the Chinese Empire are the Eighteenth Dynasty of Western Chu and the two great empires.

In the past, separated by high mountains, the Eighteenth Dynasty of Western Chu and the Great Yan Empire rarely fought. Even if the Great Yan Empire wanted to destroy the Eighteenth Dynasty, it would eventually give up because of the long logistical supply line.

Now that Lu Hao has opened up sea routes, the situation is completely different.

Starting from Qiongzhou Port in the Chinese Empire, it only takes about ten days to reach the coastlines of the two countries. And with the transportation capabilities of the Imperial Navy, what kind of materials cannot be transported?
