Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

"Father, don't worry!"

The King of Han knelt down on one knee and said solemnly, "My son, this expedition will never dishonor the power of the two generations of dragons, my father and Lord Hongwu."

"I vow to sweep through all the tribes in Mobei, capture Alutai alive, and return to the court to offer it to my father!"

"Second brother, your ambition is commendable."

The prince patted the King of Han on the shoulder and said with a smile, "This time you will lead the army to the north, and all the weapons, food, wages and other supplies will be provided by Brother Yu."

"You just have to worry about fighting the enemy, and I will take care of the rest."

"You have to go on a journey today, so you might as well have a few drinks first."

"On the day when you return to court in triumph, Brother Yu will serve you a drink to thank you!"

"it is good!"

The King of Han clinked glasses with Emperor Yongle and the Crown Prince and drank them all in one gulp.

But King Zhao stood aside, always bowing his head and keeping silent, without saying a word.

At this moment, the coy expressions of his father and his eldest brother made him feel a little nauseous.

Apparently late last night, the two of them were still plotting in the palace.

Discuss how to control the second brother's heavy troop deployment this time.

He also ordered himself to select thirty confidants from the Qingcang Guards and place them in the army as spies.

But today, he acted like a loving father, a filial son, a respectful brother, a friend, and a respectful brother.

King Zhao couldn't understand why his once so heroic father had become so suspicious of Xiongcai.

Why did the eldest brother, who was kind and loyal at first, be so cruel and callous to his brothers?

"Third brother, come."

The prince waved his hand and said with a smile, "Your second brother is about to go on an expedition. Don't you want to toast him with a glass of wine?"

King Zhao had no choice but to step forward and force out a smile, "Second brother, I wish you victory in every battle and success immediately."

"Hahaha, third child, I can lend you some good words."

The King of Han and King Zhao clinked glasses and drank, and said with a grin, "Second brother, I will definitely clear out the Tartars this time, so that Liegan Border will no longer suffer from the barbarians!"

Emperor Yongle suddenly remembered something and asked with a smile: "Xu'er, why don't you see Yuan'er?"

"Yuan'er is a very sincere and filial man. You are leading the army to go on an expedition today. Why won't he come to see you off?"

"Father, that's right."

The King of Han said with a helpless smile, "It's still dark today, so Yuan'er went to Liaocheng."

"It was me, the father, who sent him away."

"Why did Yuan'er go to Liaocheng again?"

Emperor Yongle frowned slightly and said nothing more.

Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat silent, the King of Han clasped his fists and said, "Father, eldest brother, I will go there."

"Within half a year, I will capture Alutai alive and return to present it to my father!"

Emperor Yongle and others stood with their hands behind their backs, watching the army leave the city.

After the King of Han led his troops away, Emperor Yongle slowly said, "Sui'er, Yuan'er went to Liaocheng, why didn't anyone report to me?"

"This……"

King Zhao knelt down on one knee and said apologetically: "Father, this is all the negligence of my sons and ministers."

"Yuan'er went to Tianzhu some time ago, and I withdrew all the Qingcang guards who were placed around him."

"I didn't expect that just two days after he returned, he would go to Liaocheng without stopping."

"I will send someone to monitor you in the future. Please forgive me, father."

"Third brother, as the commander of Qingcang Guard, you must be meticulous at all times."

The prince reprimanded: "The person my father wants to monitor must have his reasons."

"If Yuan'er did something shameful this time and my father was kept in the dark, would you be responsible?"

King Zhao nodded helplessly, "What the eldest brother taught me is that I will send people to chase him to Liaocheng."

After he turned around and left, he couldn't help but feel indignant and angry.

"Obviously my second brother is the first to go to war for the country, regardless of personal life and death."

"Father and eldest brother, they actually said such cruel words to Yuan'er on the back of their feet."

"Second brother, I really feel worthless for you..."

……

In the early morning, the sky was just getting bright.

Lu Yuan had already arrived in Liaocheng on the Tianqi.

With the performance of Tianqi, it only takes two days to travel from Liegan to Tianzhu.

It only takes half an hour to get from Imperial City to Liaocheng.

On this trip, Lu Yuan brought Ushima and Lingju with him.

Lingju is by his side, naturally as the top combat force to ensure his own safety.

But Ushima had just arrived in Liegan and was unfamiliar with the place.

Lu Yuan planned to take her to appreciate the prosperous beauty of Liaocheng.

It also lets Princess Xiaoma know how powerful her man is.

The Apocalypse was docked at the dock, and Wu Yue and others were still working on the new ship overnight.

The crew all set sail, and Hun Jianglong also started working.

Seeing Lu Yuan standing on the deck, everyone put down what they were doing and said in a respectful voice, "I have met the prince!"

"Everyone, you're welcome."

Lu Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile, "This trip to Tianzhu has been smooth sailing."

"Old Ni, this is all your fault."

Looking at Ushima next to Lu Yuan, Wu Yue and others had complicated expressions.

I didn't expect that the prince would abduct such a beauty back from Tianzhu.

Isn't this a bit too smooth sailing?

Ma Baocai and others followed them to Tianzhu for more than a month, so they naturally wanted to go back and report to their families that they were safe.

Lu Yuan first talked with Wu Yue and others and listened to their report on the progress of the second ship.

"Your Majesty, the progress of this second ship is faster than we imagined."

"Now there are only a few details that need to be adjusted. It will be completed in about half a month."

"it is good!"

Lu Yuan smiled happily and nodded, "Mr. Wu, you are indeed a rare talent!"

"All the officials from the Ministry of Industry and the pyrotechnics will go to the county office later and receive twenty taels each."

"I, Lu Yuan, would like to invite the brothers to have a drink!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wu Yue sighed, looking a little embarrassed.

Lu Yuan saw that he had something to hide, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, something has happened, but it doesn't matter if you say it."

Wu Yue smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, after building this second ship, we will say goodbye to you and return to the imperial city."

"Why?"

Lu Yuan frowned, "Aren't you happy in Liaocheng?"

"The prince has treated me with great kindness. He even brought his family members to pick him up for us. How can we not be happy?"

Wu Yue sighed, "Just a few days ago, the emperor sent a messenger, saying that the palace is going to carry out extensive construction and supervise the construction of a new palace, and is in urgent need of manpower."

"We order all our officials from the Ministry of Industry who are staying abroad to return to the imperial city within one month to take up their posts. Otherwise, they will be punished for the crime of disobedience."

"Although we really want to continue serving the Crown Prince, we cannot disobey your orders."

"I also hope that the prince will take pity on the lives of us, our family."

After listening to Wu Yue's words, Lu Yuan fell into a brief silence.

Then he waved his hand and said with a grin, "Mr. Wu, what do you mean?"

"Am I, Lu Yuan, so ignorant that I would force myself to stay with you?"

"Your Majesty's will is destiny. Not only you, but even I dare not disobey it."

"Since the imperial court needs people to serve, you can just go back." "After half a month, I will give you the money and then give you a banquet to see you off."

"Thank you, Sir!"

Wu Yue nodded heavily and said gratefully, "It's a blessing to be able to work for the Crown Prince."

"When the court's fortifications are completed, I will definitely return to Liaocheng and continue to help the prince build ships!"

"Then...I will go and discuss the details of shipbuilding with the brothers first."

Seeing Wu Yue turn and leave, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"I hope there is still this opportunity."

He stayed in the imperial city for two days and saw no sign of a new palace being built.

Even if we really want to build a new temple, it will only be a labor of strength, not a technical one.

Just send any official from the Ministry of Works and hire three to five hundred pyrotechnics to do the job.

Why did you deliberately recall the more than 100 people who stayed in Liaocheng?

There is probably only one reason.

The emperor did not allow himself to continue building new ships.

But Lu Yuan didn't know whether this was someone's slander or the emperor's own idea.

If it's the former, it's easier to handle, as long as the traitor who slandered him is killed.

But if it's the latter, it'll be a bit troublesome...

Lu Yuan scratched his head and ears for a moment, feeling extremely anxious.

Hun Jianglong came from the side and said comfortingly, "Master, don't be too upset."

"This is the way of an emperor. No matter how much you favor the emperor's relatives, you cannot allow them to overly support their troops and respect themselves."

"You can own two such giant ships, which can almost match the combat effectiveness of Liegan's entire navy battalion."

"How can the emperor let you continue to build endlessly and give you the ability to subvert Liegan Navy?"

"I understand this."

Lu Yuan nodded and said helplessly, "Old Long, the power of God is truly unpredictable."

"Originally, I wanted to ask you to be a water warfare instructor and train thousands of water-savvy crew members for me."

"But now, I can only own two ships in a short period of time, so I don't need so many manpower."

Hun Jianglong was silent for a moment, then smiled lightly and said, "I understand what the prince means."

"Since Liaocheng doesn't need me, I'll just leave."

"where are you going?"

Lu Yuan asked with interest, "Don't forget, you are the pirate leader who has been executed."

"After leaving Liaocheng, Qingcang guards will monitor the entire Liegan area."

"If any secret guard sees you, your life will be gone."

Hun Jianglong said resolutely: "This is something that the prince does not need to worry about."

"Long was so loved by the prince that he could save his life and spend two months in Liaocheng. He is satisfied."

"In the future, life, death, misfortune, misfortunes, and luck will all come to Long himself."

After saying that, Hun Jianglong flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

"stop."

Lu Yuan picked up the wine bowl on the table and took a sip, and said calmly, "Why, Master Wu and the others are leaving soon. Are you, General Long, planning to abandon me and turn me into a loner?"

Hun Jianglong paused, looking confused, "Didn't the prince want to drive me away?"

"You are taking huge risks to protect my talent, and I will kick you out?"

Lu Yuan grinned and said, "Even if you want to leave, I won't let you go."

"Sit down and drink!"

Hun Jianglong felt warm in his heart, sat down opposite Lu Yuan, and poured himself a bowl of wine.

After three or five bowls of wine, he couldn't help but ask, "Sir, since there is no need to train more crew members at the moment."

"Then what should I do next?"

"Good question."

Lu Yuan touched his chin and smiled mysteriously, "Old Long, what do you think is the most important thing when the two armies are fighting?"

"Of course it is for the general's bravery."

Hun Jianglong said without hesitation, "One soldier is a raging enemy, and a general is raging in a nest."

"No matter how powerful an army is, it must be led by a brave general in order to be fearless in the world!"

Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head, "That makes some sense, but I don't think so."

Hun Jianglong looked suspicious: "What does the prince mean...?"

"Although I haven't fought much, I have heard a saying."

Lu Yuan said solemnly, "That is, know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger."

"When the two armies are fighting, the most important thing is intelligence!"

"good."

Hun Jianglong thought for a moment and nodded convinced.

"If we can have an elite secret guard, we can detect the enemy's intelligence in every battle, which is indeed better than an army of 100,000 people."

"Liegan fought with the barbarians from all sides, and the reason why he was able to gain the upper hand was largely due to Qingcang Wei."

Lu Yuan grinned and said, "This is the new task I want to give you."

"In a few days, I will recruit a group of smart, bold and talented people with clear backgrounds for you."

"You will personally train them secretly and train them into secret guards who are even better than Qing Cang Guard!"

"This……"

Hun Jianglong hesitated for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "Sir, I was once a naval commander, and training crew members is my specialty."

"But I'm not good at training secret guards, let alone training them to be better than Qingcang Guards..."

"It doesn't matter, you don't know how, I can teach you."

Lu Yuan then took his time and took out a stack of paper from his arms.

These papers are the contents that I copied from "Eyeliner".

"As long as you remember all the content above, you will become the first and best secret guard."

Hun Jianglong was slightly startled, then took it and read it carefully.

But after just two pages, he was shocked and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Oh my god, this..."

"Your Majesty, did you steal Qing Cang Wei's training methods and purpose?"

"How can Qingcang Guard have such strict training and such professional teaching?"

Lu Yuan waved his hand disapprovingly and said with a serious face, "Old Long, this group of talents is extremely important to us."

"It may even be related to my life and fortune."

"You must first count the above contents to make yourself an elite agent proficient in investigation, counter-reconnaissance, undercover, and assassination."

"However, if I take the people I selected carefully, I will teach them to be able to compete with Qing Cang Wei!"

"Thanks to the Crown Prince's trust, Long will definitely complete the mission!"

Hun Jianglong nodded heavily, hesitated for a moment, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, can I ask a question?"

"You first build naval warships, and then you train these dead soldiers and secret guards."

"Are you gathering strength to overthrow Lie Gan?"

"What?"

Lu Yuan was slightly startled, and suddenly he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Old Long, are you crazy?"

"I am the eldest son of the Lieqian Dynasty, a great grandson of the emperor."

"If Lie Gan is overthrown, won't I have nothing?"

"No matter how stupid we are, we can't start our own rebellion, right?" (End of Chapter)
