Being a Lady of an Influential Family: 430, Prince An’s hole card!

Prince An's mansion is still as quiet as usual, but this quietness seems to be completely different from the past, and the air is vaguely tense and chilling.

The sky has darkened, and the lanterns under the eaves have long been lit. The old housekeeper stood at the door of the study with his head bowed, and not far from him stood two rows of people with guns.

The housekeeper looked at the two lines of soldiers, and then looked at the people standing in the yard under the eaves outside, and looked back at the closed door of the study, with a hint of worry and anxiety in his eyes.

Prince An was still wearing a plain long gown. The weather was getting warmer, and his clothes were replaced by thin silk clothes. Just by looking at the appearance, no one would have thought that this person was once also a generation of emperors, but he was more like a noble and elegant celebrity who came out of a scholarly family.

Prince An was holding a brush in his hand and writing slowly and slowly. Standing not far from the desk was a short middle-aged man in uniform, about forty or fifty years old.

The epaulettes on his shoulders showed his extraordinary status and power. At this time, he stared at the man standing behind the desk writing with a trace of impatience on his face.

"Your Majesty" the middle-aged man finally couldn't help himself and cried out in a deep voice.

His Royal Highness Prince An gave a slight pause, raised his head, and threw the pen into the pen wash next to him. ,

Slowly put down his rolled-up sleeves and said lightly, "General Zeng, Your Majesty is in the palace, you have found the wrong person." The middle-aged man was not someone else, he just met with Master Fu not long ago. General Zeng Rong, the commander of the Sixth Army of the Wall.

Zeng Rong lowered his eyes to hide the contempt in his eyes, but his words were impassioned, "We only recognize you as An Xia's true majesty. ."

Prince An chuckled lightly. He didn't seem to care about his generous remarks. He shook his head and said, "Since this is the case, I have already abdicated. The emperor in the palace is a legitimate emperor. Why don't you listen?"

Zeng Rong was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said, "I am weak and incompetent today, but a puppet, how can I compare to Your Majesty's literacy and military strategy? Is Your Majesty willing to let the Xiao family be like this from the cabinet. That group of people manipulated at will? To be a clay Buddha in a temple? Has your Majesty ever thought about helping the community and restoring the old glory of the Xiao royal family?"

Prince An sat down, looked at the man in front of him and sighed, "General Zeng, I don't understand."

Zeng Rong was stunned, "What?"

Prince An said: "If someone in my Xiao family wants to help the royal family, I understand, but for you, it is clearly more beneficial now? Why...you are more active than the Xiao family?"

Zeng Rong said, "I used to be an old minister of An Xia, so naturally I want to repay the emperor's kindness and be loyal to Your Majesty. I have only endured humiliation and burdens these years, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to learn from it."

Prince Ann shook his head, smiling genially, "You know I don't believe this."

"..." Zeng Rong was at a loss for words and didn't know how to answer.

Although one of the most powerful generals in the capital, Zeng Rong had never really had any contact with Prince An before. At most, he only glanced at him when he was in the Zen seat, but he was not a big man at that time, and naturally it was impossible to talk to him.

I originally thought that Prince An was a weak and incompetent person, so he just announced his abdication without being able to stand the chaos. I didn't expect that Prince An, who lived in a secluded house after so many years, could speak so well. .

Prince An looked at him with a distant gaze, "You don't actually care whether the Xiao family has real power, what you care about is... An Xia's power is not in your own hands. With the current situation and the distribution of strength in various places, at most ten In the next year, the forces of Anxia will be further reduced, and in the end, most of them will be...Fu Long and the two families will compete. The Song family may be on the sidelines or become the weight to decide the outcome. Where Anxia will go in the end is not up to you."

This is a bit harsh to say, Zeng Rong took a deep breath and said, "Since Your Majesty understands, don't you worry about the future of the Fu Long family and how the Xiao family will handle themselves?"

Prince An thought for a while and said, "I can trust Fu Zheng and Long Xiao. I have met the two young marshals of the Fu family and the Long family. I have nothing to worry about."

This is obviously hard and soft, so Zeng Rong is no longer polite, "But the one in the palace has already agreed to cooperate with us."

Prince An lowered his eyes and said nothing, Zeng Rong smiled, "Prince An can be at ease with the current situation, how do you know that others will be willing? You think that when you gave the Zen throne to the person in the palace, he would really Thank you? You did give him a throne, but unfortunately this throne is useless."

Prince An said: "Since that's the case, what are you doing here with me? You can see that I'm just an ordinary person without power and power."

Zeng Rong said, "We would naturally prefer to cooperate with your Majesty if possible, but it doesn't matter if you are really unwilling to cooperate, please... hand over the keys to the royal treasury and the royal guard token."

Prince An said: "You have found the wrong person."

Zeng Rong sneered, "Does your Majesty think you can perfunctory us?"

Prince An said: "I don't know where you heard the rumors, all the royal family's property is stored in the private treasury in the palace, and what I took away when I left the palace was only my own when I was the prince. Private property. As for the Praetorian Guard... Didn't the Praetorian Guard be disbanded and reorganized long ago? This is still after I left the palace, and the original token remains in the palace."

A stern look flashed on Zeng Rong's face, "We treat Your Majesty with courtesy, and Your Majesty better not test my patience."

Prince An leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and ignored him, with an air of respect.

Zeng Rong gritted his teeth and wanted to step forward, but he only took one step and stopped abruptly. After staring at Prince An with a gloomy expression for a while, he turned around and opened the door with a sneer.

"Master?" the housekeeper outside the door called cautiously.

Prince An said lightly: "I'm fine, I don't have to come in, I want to be alone for a while."

The housekeeper was relieved, "Yes."

Prince An was sitting in the study, staring at the lamp on the table, thinking about something, when Zeng Rong shouted angrily and ordered to withdraw from the outside. Soon there was a sound of footsteps outside, and obviously those who blocked the door followed Zeng Rong and retreated.

But Prince An knew in his heart that although the people in the palace were gone, there would never be fewer people outside.

Since he is unwilling to cooperate, those people will never allow him to leave the palace to harm them.

Some helplessly sighed, "When will it go on like this?"

"Don't worry, my lord, it will be over soon." A voice suddenly sounded overhead, and Prince An hurriedly looked up, only to find that the tiles on the roof in the corner of the study had been removed. a few pieces.

A man came in from the roof, hooked the beam neatly, and slipped silently to the ground.

The courtyards of the palace are all old houses from the past, and it is not difficult to lift the tiles on the top, but all this is going on quietly, which shows the skill of the people who come here.

"Mrs. Fu Shao?" Prince An looked at Leng Sa who fell silently in surprise.

Leng Sa glanced at the direction of the study door, Prince An got up and walked inside, whispering, "Don't worry, everyone outside is gone."

Entering the study room, the warm yellow light illuminated the room, and also illuminated Prince An's handsome face.

Prince An sat down behind the desk and smiled at Leng Sa, "Mrs. Fu, please take a seat, would you like some tea?"

Leng Sa smiled helplessly, "Thank you, Lord, I won't drink anymore. Please forgive me for disturbing the Lord so late."

Prince An shook his head, "It's okay, I have nothing to do all day long and it's good to have someone come to talk to me, besides... It's not easy for the young lady to come in this time, right?"

It's really not easy. Zeng Rong really sent heavy troops to besiege Prince An's mansion. One of the choices and reconstructions of the mansion was to prevent Prince An from escaping. If you can't escape, it's hard to get in. Leng Sa also observed outside for a long time before coming in when it was getting dark and the other party was changing shifts.

Prince An didn't go in circles with her, "How's it going outside?"

Leng Sa explained the matter again, it happened too suddenly, not to mention the specific situation, even if she was Fu Fengcheng and Long Yue, she would be at a loss.

But that doesn't matter, they just need to know who the opponent is.

Prince An was silent for a long time after hearing this, sighed lightly and said, "In the end, there were hidden dangers in the past, but in those days... I really don't want to make the capital flow into a river of blood, I just hope that there will always be time and time to take a step back in the future. A chance to solve these things. Don't want to... Is it Arleen who asked you to come to me?"

Leng Sa nodded and offered the box Zhuo Lin gave her with both hands.

Prince An looked at the small box in front of him with a complicated expression. He stared at it for a while before he said solemnly, "Take it to Young Master Fu."

Leng Sa was stunned for a moment, Prince An smiled and said, "Has Madam Fu not seen what's inside yet?"

Leng Sa nodded honestly, "This is what Sister Zhuo entrusted me to bring to the prince."

Prince An laughed and said, "You call her sister? She will take advantage of others. This is something I asked her to keep for me back then. Since I didn't use it back then, I naturally won't use it now."

Prince Ann reached out and opened the box, which contained a key.

Leng Sa suddenly remembered hearing the conversation between Zeng Rong and Prince An on the roof just now, and was a little surprised, "Is there really a treasure house of the royal family?"

Prince An shook his head and smiled when he heard the words, "Where did the treasure trove come from? The emperor stayed in the palace, why did he keep his treasure outside the palace? He couldn't be prepared to escape from the country one day, right? Even if this is the case, how much can a distressed emperor take away? Is it inconvenient for a bank note, or is a bank draft worthless?"

Leng Sa blinked, looked at the key and said, "Then what is this for?"

Prince An said solemnly, "This is a batch of the most advanced weapons that I had bought from abroad, including various guns and ammunition, as well as dozens of heavy artillery. It was originally intended to reform the Anxia soldiers. It's a pity that I didn't use it. Although it's been almost 30 years, these weapons... they shouldn't be too far behind."

The iteration of weapons is not that fast. These weapons are definitely not comparable to Anxia's most elite soldiers and horses, but in the whole of Anxia, ​​it is definitely not a hip pull.

What's more, there are those gunpowder and cannonballs. Even if these things are backward, the power of the shot is still solid.

"How many of these...?" asked Leng Sa.

Prince An pondered for a while, and said a little uncertainly, "Should be able to equip 70,000 or 80,000 people?"

"..." Lord Leng was shocked!

No wonder so many people are worried about this Prince An, who has been under house arrest for almost 30 years, and still has such a ferocious weapon in his hands.

70,000 to 80,000 people doesn't seem like a lot for the entire six southern provinces, but if you don't care, it's enough to turn the capital into ruins.

Prince An sighed, pulled a piece of paper and a pen from the side and started writing. When Leng Sa came back to his senses, Prince An had already written and sealed the three letters.

"I still have a few old friends in the capital, and you give them these letters. If they are willing to help me in my face, that's the best, if they don't want to sell my face, you just After all, so many years have passed..." Prince An said solemnly.

Leng Sa hurriedly said, "Thank you my lord, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Prince An smiled, then took out a jade pendant from the drawer and pushed it to Leng Sa, "Give this jade pendant to Prince Mu, he knows what to do, I'm not safe here. , I won't leave you any more."

Leng Sa hesitated, "Your Highness... don't you want to leave?"

Prince An waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, they won't touch me now. On the contrary, if they really succeed, that's when it's time for me to die. My old life can be handed over to me. Here you are."

Leng Sa nodded and said, "I understand, Wang Ye take care."

Prince An smiled and said, "Go."

Leng Sa packed up his things and transferred them out, but he still didn't go through the door and went straight out.

In a building across the street from the military building, gunfire rumbled outside, the electricity in the building has long been cut off, and people can only use primitive oil lamps and candles to illuminate.

Long Yue and Lou Lanzhou were discussing things around a table when Fu Fengcheng came in.

Long Shao looked at everything okay, Lou Shao looked a little embarrassed. The clothes that are always neat and tactful on weekdays have long been stained with a lot of dust and blood, and even there is a bloodstain on his handsome face. It seems that he was killed from the enemy's pile. It looks a bit more than usual. Soldier's chilling momentum.

Seeing Fu Fengcheng coming in, Long Yue asked bluntly, "What's the situation on your side?"

Fu Fengcheng said, "All senior cabinet officials are blocked in the parliamentary building."

Long Yue raised his eyebrows, "You didn't think of a solution?"

Fu Fengcheng calmly said, "What can I do? I'll break in alone? Even if I can get in, how many people can I take out?"

His eyes fell on Lou Lanzhou, "Young Master Lou?"

Lou Lanzhou smiled helplessly and said with a bitter smile, "My grandfather has Mizuo by his side, his old man was kidnapped, and the Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Army are all involved. Now only the Sixth Army has entered the city, and the Eighth Army Most of them are outside the city, and someone has already intercepted them. The Fifth Army has not yet moved."

"No action?" Fu Fengcheng raised his eyebrows.

Long Yue said, "The first regiment under Fei Cheng's command of the Fifth Army was the first regiment to enter the military building, and they were Fei Cheng's absolute cronies. However, the Fifth Army was stationed in Ning County, 70 miles southwest of the city. Movement. Doesn't seem to be planning to participate in this event."

Fu Fengcheng said, "Then leave him alone for now."

No matter what happened, the lack of movement of the Fifth Army in this situation means that at least the Fifth Army is not listening to Fei Cheng's orders, which is a good thing for them.

"What's the situation here?" Fu Fengcheng glanced at the opposite side from the window, because there were no tall buildings around the military headquarters, although they were standing upstairs across a street, they could still see the opposite military building. There are bright lights over there now, and if you look at it from a distance, you can guess that there are many soldiers and horses hidden in the night.

Long Yue said, "There are too many troops in the central area, and we are understaffed. It is almost impossible to break through the parliamentary building and the military building. Young Master Lou and I are preparing to retreat to the periphery."

Lou Lanzhou also nodded and said, "The troops of the Lou family are entering the city from the west gate, let's go to meet them."

Fu Fengcheng nodded, "Let's go then."

Long Yue glanced back at the military building opposite, and said coldly, "Ren Nanyan, right? That old thing better not fall into my hands."

Today's situation is not without humiliation for a proud man like Long Shao. Even if Ren Nanyan used to be his teacher, he couldn't help but want to deceive his teacher and destroy his ancestors.

Lou Lanzhou smiled and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to catch him so easily. Can Shao Long still remember what Mr. Ren was best at teaching?"

Long Shao had a look of disgust, "Therefore, he spread suspicions, concealed himself from the sky, and borrowed a knife to kill people." He didn't like the old man's teaching style very much back then.

The three of them went downstairs and were about to go out when they heard the roar of a car motor not far away. The guard at the door immediately became vigilant. Fu Fengcheng glanced at the car that was speeding up from a distance and said solemnly, "My own person."

"Mrs. Fu Shao?" Lou Lanzhou was a little surprised, he had already seen that the driver was a woman.

Leng Sa has always been driving very fast, but in an instant, he has already rushed to the front. She slammed on the brakes, and if the two people in the back seat were not used to her driving style, they would have almost hit their heads.

"You really are here." Leng Sa opened the car door and got out, smiling to the three of them.

Lou Lanzhou smiled and said, "Mrs. Fu Shao is here on a special trip to find Fu Shao?"

Looking at Fu Fengcheng, who had already walked towards Leng Sa, Young Master Lou suddenly felt envious.

Looking at the dragon yue next to him, he looks a little envious.

After all, at such a time, there is still a girl who worries about your safety and makes a special trip to find you regardless of her own safety. It is indeed a pleasant and happy thing.

Leng Sa glanced sideways at Lou Lanzhou and said with a smile, "Young Master Lou, you are a little embarrassed."

Lou Lanzhou was helpless, "Mrs. Young Lady laughed."

Fu Fengcheng took Leng Sa's hand and looked at it for a while before saying, "Why did Madam come here?"

Leng Sa directly took something from the pocket of the windbreaker and put it into Fu Fengcheng's hand, "Nuo, Prince An gave it, let's see if I can help?"

Long Yue was a little surprised, "The young lady went to Prince An's mansion? It's not easy to go there now, right?"

Smiles coldly, "I'm entrusted by others."

Long Shao raised his eyebrows slightly, and quickly figured out who was entrusting him.

Fu Fengcheng looked at the things in his hand and handed the letter to Lou Lanzhou, "Brother Lou, please."

Lou Lanzhou looked down and saw the name of the deputy commander of the Fifth Army written on the first envelope. The remaining two letters are from the commander of the Second Army, and the other is from a famous old man in the capital, whose reputation in the army is not much worse than that of Ren Nanyan.

The most important thing is that two of the three people have a good relationship with the Lou family, and one of them is even close. It's no wonder that Fu Fengcheng gave him the letter. If Lou Lanzhou went to the door to persuade him for help in person, he might have gotten a bigger response.

Lou Lanzhou did not shirk, put away the letter and nodded, "No problem, please rest assured."

Lou Lanzhou left with the people, Fu Fengcheng said, "Zhang Jingzhi will gather the police and some forces in the capital to help, but he has no experience in leading troops, so I'm afraid that he will trouble Brother Long." Then he threw the key with the box to the Long Yue, "It's hard work."

Long Yue raised his hand to catch the box and looked at Fu Fengcheng with a deep look, "Brother Fu, are you really not worried?"

Fu Fengcheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "What are you worried about?"

Long Yue smiled and stuffed the box into his pocket, "Nothing." Since Fu Fengcheng was not afraid of giving him a weapon capable of equipping tens of thousands of people, of course he had nothing to say.

He Long Yue has his own arrogance, no matter how he would not hit Fu Fengcheng's black gun at this time.

Several forces gradually retreated from the block, and the surrounding gunfire gradually quieted down.

Watching Long Yue lead people away, Fu Fengcheng turned his head to Leng Sa and said, "Let's go too, the rebels will be around soon."

Leng Sa nodded and said nothing. The two got into the car and drove away in the dark.
