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

Chapter 669
With great difficulty, Zhang Sheng was supported or, to be precise, dragged away by several guards.

Finally, we arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion.

Lu Hao sat on a chair, sipping tea, looking at Zhang Sheng who was dragged in, with an arc at the corner of his mouth.

"Come here, give me a seat! Let's watch tea!"

Lu Hao said loudly.

The guards of the City Lord's Mansion immediately brought up a chair and threw the limp Zhang Sheng on the chair.

A beautiful slave immediately gave Zhang Sheng tea.

"Zhang Sheng, don't be nervous. Drink some tea to calm down."

Lu Hao had a faint smile on his face.

This smile made Zhang Sheng feel less nervous. He took a sip of water and could barely sit up straight.

"Zhang Sheng, tell me, where does this newly crowned prince come from? What kind of person is he?"

Lu Hao asked.

"Nangong Zhen is the third prince of the Sui Empire, and his biological mother is Concubine Yuan Gui. Since the death of the queen's son Nangong Wuhen, Nangong Zhen was established as His Royal Highness."

"Some time ago, the two princes of the Sui Empire rebelled. It was Nangong Zhen who led the army to put down the rebellion. He was a resourceful and handsome man who was good at marching and fighting. His fighting style was very brave. He often took the lead and led his soldiers to charge..."

Zhang Sheng knows everything he knows and talks about everything.

"Is it the intention of His Highness the Crown Prince to let you steal guns and ammunition? Or is it the intention of Emperor Sui Yang?"

Lu Hao asked.

"It's His Royal Highness's wish, and His Royal Highness has already obtained a rifle and a few bullets. This time he mainly asked us to steal grenades and kerosene bombs."

Zhang Sheng didn't hide anything.

"What? Got the rifle already?"

Lu Hao's face darkened slightly.

"I've only heard about it and haven't actually seen it. I don't know if it's true or not?"

Zhang Sheng added with a grimace.

Nangong Zhen stole guns and ammunition, no doubt to research this new type of weapon. However, it is easy to develop it, but it is definitely not possible to produce it.

Because the steel used in rifles is calcined at high temperatures, the smelting technology of the Sui Empire simply cannot meet the requirements. Even if it is produced, it will only explode or jam.

"What does Nangong Zhen do on a daily basis? Does he have any special hobbies?"

Lu Hao asked again.

"His Royal Highness is usually very mysterious. Few people know his movements. What is he doing? He probably goes to the court every day, and then trains the army. He now commands an army of 30 people. He is so majestic that other princes keep away from him. "

"What kind of special hobby are you talking about? There really aren't any... By the way, he likes to collect some strange people and has also raised a group of martial arts masters. I wonder if this counts?"

Zhang Sheng recalled it in detail and talked about it.

"Who is Nangong Zhen's mother-in-law Yuan Guifei? What is her family background?"

Lu Hao continued to ask.

"Concubine Yuan Gui is one of the four most wealthy families in the Sui Empire. She is the daughter of Wang Binghui, the Minister of Household Affairs. Her name is unknown, but she is only known as Concubine Yuan Gui. Wang Binghui values ​​the Crown Prince very much and gives him a lot of help."

Zhang Sheng responded.

"Emperor Sui Yang appointed Nangong Zhen as the crown prince. Isn't there anyone who objects to it?"

Lu Hao asked with a smile.

"I heard that the empress was against it, and there were two ministers who supported the eighth prince Nangong Bin. It seemed that there was still manpower to support the fifteenth prince. However, they still did not fight against Concubine Yuan Gui and the minister of household affairs, and finally appointed Nangong. shock."

Zhang Sheng explained in detail.

If this is the case, the interior of the Sui Empire is not as peaceful as it appears. At least there are undercurrents and overt and covert struggles.

Next, Lu Hao asked some random questions, and finally let Zhang Sheng leave.

"Okay, you can go back now and bring a message to Nangong Zhen. Just tell him what I said and ask him to be honest and not to come to Hengyang City. It's pointless to do these small tricks. If you have the ability, do it with real swords and guns. field."

Lu Hao said with a smile.

"The villain must bring it."

Zhang Sheng was extremely happy.

Although he was timid and cowardly, he was glad to have saved his life. The others had been buried in the soil.

Zhang Sheng quickly kowtowed to thank him and left the city lord's palace under the escort of several guards.Liu Rufeng came back in a hurry, obviously getting the news.

"Your Majesty, how is the situation?"

Liu Rufeng was very anxious.

"It's a small matter. His Royal Highness Nangong Zhen, the newly crowned prince of the Great Sui Empire, sent a few people to steal guns and ammunition. He killed seven of them, and one of them did everything, so he let him go."

Lu Hao responded calmly.

"It seems that many people are thinking about Hengyang City?"

Liu Rufeng laughed at himself with a grimace.

"Hengyang City is the war factory of the empire. It is normal for it to attract the attention of other forces on the mainland. The problem is that Nangong Zhen actually got a rifle and several bullets. This matter needs to be investigated carefully."

Lu Hao explained.

"How is that possible? The guns are checked every day, and they are numbered. They shouldn't be leaked out?"

Liu Rufeng was shocked and depressed.

"What if there is no number?"

Lu Hao reminded.

"No number? Then it can only be in the factory. Wei Chen knows where to go to investigate!"

Liu Rufeng suddenly realized.

"In this case, I'm going to rest."

Lu Hao got up and prepared to go to bed.

"Your Majesty, are you not satisfied with the minister asking Yan Xi to serve you?"

Liu Rufeng asked.

"Master Imperial Master, Master Liu, why are you sending Yan Xi here? Do I lack women?"

Lu Hao asked angrily.

"Your Majesty, I am not feeling well. Aren't I afraid that you will be lonely? So I asked Yan Xi to come."

Liu Rufeng explained with a blushing face.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with your body?"

Lu Hao came forward, looked up and down, and said worriedly.

"He's the one here, why are you anxious?"

Liu Rufeng blushed with embarrassment.

"Oh! That's it! Then I'll just stay alone tonight."

Lu Hao laughed.

"The Emperor is so annoying! Did that little girl Yan Xi make you angry?"

Liu Rufeng also wanted to give Yan Xi to him.

"No, she just played the song "House of Flying Daggers", and then I went to catch the thief. I wonder where she went?"

Lu Hao shook his head and told the truth.

"Then leave her alone. Your Majesty, let's go and rest. Weichen will go investigate the missing gun."

After Liu Rufeng finished speaking, he bowed and turned around.

Lu Hao easily killed the people sent by Nangong Zhen, but he felt a little solemn. After all, he couldn't stay here for a long time. There was indeed a problem with the safety of Hengyang City.

It would be easy if Jiujianxian was willing to come, but it seems unreasonable to ask such a master-level expert to help him defend the city, right?
Suddenly, he thought of a person in his mind, and this person's skills were by no means inferior to the Jiujianxian.

Lu Hao was thinking as he walked. After entering the room, he was about to go to bed when he was suddenly shocked.

"Who?"

Lu Hao shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, it's me."

Yan Xi's voice came from under the quilt.
