Chapter 1869 The power of the hidden king (2)
"Your Highness the Prince is already asleep. If you have anything, you can come back tomorrow." The guy who came out of the wall had half a mask on his face, his voice a little hoarse, and it sounded as harsh as the sound of metal rubbing.
"This matter is very important, I need to report to the prince immediately." The prince frowned slightly, not knowing whether he was dissatisfied with the man's answer or his voice.
But the man was obviously very stubborn. Although the prince had already said that things were very important, he still did not let it go. He continued to say in a very uncomfortable voice: "I said, the prince has rested."
"Huangpu, you'd better find out your identity. If you delay major issues, you can't afford it!" Mr. Wang was a little anxious and lowered his voice and shouted.
The guy in front of him heard that he was the personal guard of King Yin Li Jiancheng back then, and he was loyal to King Yin. Although he didn't know how he survived that great change, it was obvious that this guy did not give up his identity and status back then.
Huang Pu, wearing a mask, obviously did not take the threat of Prince Wang seriously. He smiled strangely in an extremely ugly voice and said, "Can you afford to worry about Prince Wang, please take your people back. And next time you come, it's best to come over by yourself and not bring some irrelevant people."
"You..." Prince Wang's face tightened. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a young man in a yellow shirt walking out of the mezzanine wall behind Huangpu, so he hurriedly bowed: "Your Highness, the prince, don't report important matters!"
"Huangpu, let him come in. Everyone is their own people. There is no need to make such an unpleasant thing. In the future, you may have to be the ministers of the same palace. It would be a bad thing to have a quarrel." The young man glanced at the prince, ordered Huangpu with his back to him, and then disappeared from the mezzanine on the wall.
His name is Li Yiheng, his identity is the illegitimate son of King Hidden Li Jiancheng, and his profession is a rebel.
But these are obviously not what he hoped. Fifteen years ago, he was dreaming of becoming a high-ranking official every day, making a fortune, and letting me live a good life.
Fifteen years later, his hope became to kill Li Shimin, Li Chengqian... everyone in the Li family, and then ascend to the throne as emperor.
Of course, this was not what he wanted, but something that someone else imposed on him. Fifteen years ago, when he knew that his father who left him and his mother to leave behind was King Yin Li Jiancheng, he almost didn't pee. His only thought was to hide, and the farther he hid, the better.
But the people who found him did not seem to want him to escape, nor did they pay attention to his thoughts, and directly put the ideal of revenge on his head. It was from that day that he became another person, a person who would never be shy.
...
Sitting in a dim room with only two candles lit, Li Yiheng lowered his head and recalled every bit of his fifteen years, as if that prince did not exist.
After a while, he raised his head, and his face looked a little gloomy under the candlelight: "Prince Mu, tell me, what is your purpose!"
"Your Highness, the prince, I have contacted the cannibals and have agreed on the conditions. After half a year, they will raise an army to attack the Tang Dynasty." Prince Wang, no, Prince Mu replied respectfully.
It was obvious that he and the so-called prince's highman were not the only ones in the dim room. Countless masters were invisible in the darkness around him. This was beyond doubt, so he did not dare to be careless or careless, for fear of annoying the moody "prince" he faced.
"What are the conditions you promised him?" Li Yiheng thought quietly for a while after listening to Wang Zimu's answer.
"I promised the Great Cannibal that all the ordnance manufacturing materials, including the muskets, will be handed over to the Great Cannibal in exchange for their attack on the Tang Dynasty." Prince Wang replied.
Li Yiheng took a deep breath and said in a tone full of disappointment: "So what do you use to ensure that they will fulfill their promises? Do you think they can deal with Li Chengqian's army? Or do you think they will give their victory to others after they have won by chance?"
"Your Highness, the matter is up to you." Prince Mu bowed a little and said in a speculative tone: "Now Li Chengqian is summoning the military generals to discuss the issue of replacing defense. This is our opportunity. Those military generals will inevitably have people who are dissatisfied with this adjustment. We can use this opportunity to achieve our goals and receive those dissatisfied people to our disciples."
"In addition, I think that changing defense is the time when the morale of the army is most unstable. Those garrisons in foreign countries will definitely not know the soldiers and the soldiers will not know the generals. If the great cannibal suddenly comes in, they will definitely be unstoppable, and Li Chengqian will definitely be caught off guard."
"As for whether the great cannibals will give us the achievements they have made in the future... Your Highness, I don't think they can really conquer the Tang Dynasty. For us, they are just used to create an opportunity for us to rebellion." When Wang Zimu said this, he closed his mouth, looked at Li Yiheng quietly, waiting for his reply.
Li Yiheng seemed to be asleep, and he lowered his head for a while and did he react at all. Wang Zimu could not get the answer, so he could only stand there. This station lasted for half an hour.
Finally, just as Wang Zimu's legs were about to stand and break, Li Yiheng spoke: "You have a good idea, but it is difficult to implement. As long as there is any problem, we will never get rid of it."
"Your Highness, this is impossible. Our people have always been low-key, and they don't show any abnormality in normal times, so they will not be noticed." Prince Mu's voice was a little hoarse, maybe because he had just drunk too much wine in Yingbin Tower.
However, this did not delay his expression of his opinion. After making a guarantee to Li Yiheng, he soon said: "What is missing now is the process of gunpowder and steelmaking formula, and the methods of making muskets. As long as we master these, even if we don't give them to the great cannibals, we can also develop our own power."
"Then you try it. I hope you don't affect the overall situation because of your actions, otherwise you will know what life is worse than death." Li Yiheng stared at Wang Zimu and said threateningly.
Wang Zimu was frightened by Li Yiheng's cold voice, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Here! I understand, I will definitely do this!"
