Chapter 135
Zhao Fei's volunteering scared Zhu Yunwen. After all, Zhu Yunwen didn't tell him the entire plan, but Zhao Fei knew most of the plan, including the confidential part of the construction of the secret base. Haocai was that Zhao Fei knew this secret. If someone else knew this secret, Zhu Yunwen would definitely kill someone to silence him.
"Zhao Fei, you really want to perform this mission..."
"Your Highness, as long as you can solve your troubles, I will do anything..."
"Zhao Fei, you know how difficult this plan is. Maybe life is in danger at any time..."
"Your Highness, I'm not afraid! You saved my life. If it weren't for your original help, I would have been gone long ago..."
Zhao Fei is indeed a good candidate. Whether it is his own conditions or external reasons, Zhao Fei is more suitable than anyone else to perform this task. He can even perform this task legitimately.
"Zhao Fei, I'll ask you the last time, are you really going to perform this task?"
"Yes."
"If you perform this task, you will likely be separated from your wife and children in the past or two years..."
"I know..." Zhao Fei answered very seriously.
Zhu Yunwen sighed softly and said, "Okay, you go back and prepare first."
Zhu Yunwen decided to hand over this task to Zhao Fei for execution, but for safety reasons, he asked Zhao Fei to go to Yunsheng to explore the road, figure out the situation there before starting a formal operation, and soon Zhao Fei set off. Zhu Yunwen also specially arranged for him to set off late at night. He thought that this would not alarm anyone, but people discovered his action.
This can be said to be a coincidence. It turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang secretly dispatched twenty-one guards to protect Zhu Yunwen. This was the ace force to protect the emperor. They were guarding the outside of the Prince's Mansion for 24 hours. They immediately reported what happened. Zhao Fei's situation this time was also reported. Maybe the person who recognized it was Zhao Fei and did not continue to follow him, but he had to tell the emperor about this situation.
"You said that late last night, Zhao Fei hurriedly left the Prince's Mansion..."
"Yes, the emperor."
"What's strange about this?"
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, has seen him off in person..."
"What!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smelled the conspiracy this time, but he didn't know what Zhu Yunwen was doing. Could it be that he asked Zhao Fei to find something important for him? Zhu Yunwen was so mysterious when he came to refine the alchemy, but his Bing Xin Pill was really good. This time he was studying new weapons, and did he ask Zhao Fei to find some special materials?
"General Li, General Zhao should be looking for materials for the prince to find new weapons. What should you know?"
"Prince, please rest assured, we will never reveal a word."
"Very good! Very good! I went to receive the reward."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang was generous to give them hundreds of taels of gold rewards. Although this amount was not a lot, it was enough for these soldiers to be free for several months. This was also a means for Zhu Yuanzhang to win people's hearts. Zhu Yuanzhang himself was a soldier and he knew very well about these preferences for joining the army. His methods were quite useful, and because of his methods, his subordinates would follow him wholeheartedly.
After the guards left, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately fell into deep thought. He really wanted to know what his precious grandson was doing. What new weapons were actually unnecessary. After all, a tiger cannon was scary enough.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't understand why Zhu Yunwen did this. He was obviously powerful enough to have this tiger cannon, but Zhu Yunwen didn't vigorously develop this tiger cannon, especially when he proposed to use this tiger cannon to end the war. Zhu Yunwen used various reasons to deduce it. From Zhu Yunwen's caution, he saw that Zhu Yunwen was afraid that this tiger cannon would be used by other vassal kings, and in the end the matter was left unresolved because of this.
"Yunwen, Yunwen, what are you doing?"
Zhu Yuanzhang finally planned to ask Zhu Yunwen why he did this. After all, the vassal kings had already had a lot of opinions about the last time of the tiger-powered cannon. Now that he created a more powerful one, he didn't know what would happen to those vassal kings.
"Eunuch Wu, when you go to the prince's mansion, you will say that I want to discuss important matters with the prince."
"Abide by the order."
Zhu Yunwen didn't know what the emperor was doing for him, but Eunuch Wu, who had already bought him, actually told him the secret. He actually told Zhu Yunwen that there were twenty-one guards of the emperor outside the prince's mansion. This was to protect him. When Zhu Yunwen thought of this, he knew that he had exposed himself.
"Eunuch Wu, you go back and report first. I will enter the palace after taking a shower and changing my clothes."
"Okay, that old slave has surrendered."
After Eunuch Wu left, Zhu Yunwen really went to take a shower and change clothes, but he actually asked Luo Yue to serve him to take a shower and change clothes. From this point of view, Luo Yue knew that there was something important to discuss with him.
Zhu Yunwen spoke first: "Yue'er, our plan has been exposed."
"Your Highness, what's going on?"
"Grandpa Emperor knows about Zhao Fei's trip to Yun Province."
"How could this happen?"
Zhu Yunwen told Luo Yue the whole story. It turned out that even Luo Yue didn't notice these people who secretly protected the prince. Fortunately, these are not enemies, otherwise that tree would be in big trouble.
Luo Yue asked: "Your Highness, what should we do now?"
"Yue'er, hurry up and think of an excuse. The marble excuse is no longer useful."
Zhu Yunwen knew very well that this excuse seemed to make no sense. He didn't say anything. Why did Zhao Fei choose to leave late at night and why did he leave sneakily? Judging from these suspicious points, what Zhao Fei wants to do requires hidden things.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince said he was looking for materials for new weapons. I don't know if this excuse works."
"Luo Yue, it's your best."
Zhu Yunwen came out of the wooden barrel and hugged Luo Yue several times, and finally kissed Luo Yue so much that he turned red. In fact, it was not just Luo Yue who was moved, but Zhu Yunwen also wanted to continue to linger with Luo Yue, but time would not allow it. In the end, the two of them went to the palace together and met the saint. This was not the first time they entered the palace together to meet the saint. Luo Yue was completely the shadow of Zhu Yunwen. No matter where Zhu Yunwen appeared, Luo Yue would naturally appear there. For this reason, Zhu Yuanzhang also gave Luo Yue a token so that she could enter and exit the palace at will. This is a privilege that even the vassal kings could not enjoy. However, because of Zhu Yunwen, Luo Yue could have such special treatment.
