Chapter 449 The prince is really the destined emperor

Hearing the soldier's words, Lu Yi and everyone in the yard were stunned.

They couldn't believe what they were hearing.

After Lu Yi came to his senses, he quickly asked: "What! What did you say! Did you find something that can make weapons like the one in the North?"

The soldier replied excitedly: "Yes, Your Highness, our people have encountered a group of fake Taoist priests. This group of fake Taoist priests specializes in selling some useless fake elixirs. Many of our soldiers have been fooled by them and spent a lot of money." The money bought their useless elixirs."

"When our people discovered the hiding place of this group of fake Taoist priests and were about to arrest them, they happened to encounter them refining elixirs. At that time, their alchemy furnace suddenly exploded, and several of the fake Taoist priests were splashed with elixirs. Scratched by furnace debris.”

"I immediately saw that the explosion of the alchemy furnace was very similar to the explosion of iron balls, so I arrested those fake Taoist priests for questioning. According to their confessions, they often exploded the furnace when refining alchemy."

"As long as we use what they use to explode the furnace, we will definitely be able to make weapons like those from the North!"

Hearing the soldier's answer, Lu Yi was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he suddenly laughed loudly.

"Hahahaha, hahahaha, it's such a lonely road!"

At this time, other people in the courtyard said one after another: "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince!"

"When we create weapons similar to those of the Northern Kingdom, we will no longer have to be afraid of the Northern Kingdom!"

"The prince is truly the son of destiny!"

…

Listening to people's congratulations, Lu Yi showed a wild smile on his face. After smiling for a while, Lu Yi immediately stood up and said, "Take me to see those fake Taoist priests!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Later, the soldiers took Lu Yi to the place where the fake Taoist priests were imprisoned.

When those fake Taoist priests saw Lu Yi, they were very panicked. They thought Lu Yi was going to execute them all. Unexpectedly, when Lu Yi saw them, he kept a smile on his face and it seemed that he didn't want to kill them at all. mean.

After Lu Yi glanced at the fake Taoist priests in the prison, he said to the soldiers on the side: "They are all talented people. How can you put them in prison? Release them quickly."

The soldiers reacted instantly and quickly opened the cell door.

Seeing this scene, those fake Taoist priests were stunned. They sold fake elixirs to the eldest prince's soldiers. The eldest prince didn't seem angry at all. Instead, he said that they were talents. What was going on?

At this moment, the leading fake Taoist priest quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for not killing me!"

When the other fake Taoist priests saw their heads knelt down, they also knelt down quickly and said in unison: "Thank you, Your Highness, for not killing me!"

Lu Yi said with a smile: "Everyone, get up."

Everyone thanked him in unison: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

After everyone stood up and saw Lu Yi's smile, they felt a little confused as to how Lu Yi planned to deal with them.

Did you just let them go?

It shouldn't be possible, right?

At this time, the leading fake Taoist priest said: "Your Highness, if there is any place where we can be used, we will definitely die without mercy."

They are not fools. If Lu Yi doesn't kill them, he must be looking for something.

Lu Yi said: "You are a smart person, that's obvious."

"Gu needs you to stay with Gu to make weapons."

Hearing this, the fake Taoist priests were stunned.

Make weapons?

They don't know how to make weapons.

The leader of the fake Taoist priests said quickly: "Your Highness, we are not blacksmiths and we do not know how to make weapons. It is of no use if you keep us. At most, we can only serve as helpers for the blacksmiths."

Lu Yi said calmly: "Gu Yao's weapon is not an ordinary weapon."

"I heard that the alchemy furnace often explodes when you are refining alchemy. I need you to write down the things that cause the alchemy furnace to explode, and create something that can stabilize the alchemy furnace."

Hearing Lu Yi's words, the fake Taoist priests instantly understood what Lu Yi needed, but they did not answer immediately. Seeing the leader of the fake Taoist priests looking thoughtful, Lu Yi's face instantly darkened, and then he asked coldly: " What, you can’t do it?”

Lu Yi's words instantly brought the leader of the fake Taoist priests back to his senses. He quickly said: "It can be done, we know how to make the alchemy furnace explode!"

The leader of the fake Taoist priests knew very well that if they said they couldn't do it at this time, they would be worthless in front of Lu Yi, and the only thing that would greet them would be beheading.

After hearing what the fake Taoist priest said, Lu Yi showed a satisfied expression, and then said: "Whatever you need next, just tell the soldiers and they will provide it for you."

"As long as the explosion caused by the things you create can kill people or animals, I will give you a thousand taels of gold! When I ascend the throne in the future, I will give you titles and titles!"

The fake Taoist priests said quickly: "Thank you, Your Highness, we will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations!"

Lu Yi then turned to his guards and said, "Arrange the best accommodation for them and prepare the best food."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Lu Yi didn't say anything more. He then turned around and left, returning to the courtyard just now.

At this time, a military general came to Lu Yi and asked: "Your Highness, the Northern King is now powerful. Judging from his appearance, it is estimated that he will be able to reach the capital in less than half a year. Do we continue to approach the capital now?"

Hearing this question, Lu Yi fell into deep thought. After a while, another general said: "With the imperial court's heavy cavalry blocking us, it may be difficult for us to continue moving forward. Moreover, after the Northern Army moves south, we will only be able to Give Way."

"Now that His Highness has the means to make weapons from the North, why don't we stay away from the enemy for a while and head to the South, wait until we have a large number of those iron ball weapons, and then fight back."

Upon hearing this proposal, Lu Yi said: "This is a good idea."

"Okay, we will go south in a while."

Although there is King Zhao's army in the south, King Zhao is now focused on the capital and does not have much energy to pay attention to them.

In addition, King Zhao had destroyed many vassal kings before. Some of the subordinates of those vassal kings had always been dissatisfied with King Zhao. There were also some descendants of the vassal kings who wanted to re-establish the country. Now if he goes south, as long as he can give the descendants of those vassal kings With some commitment, they are likely to surrender to themselves.

It is not particularly difficult for him to establish his own territory in the south.

A few days later.

The capital of King Qi.

A tall, handsome man rode a white horse and slowly entered the capital. At this time, both sides of the road were lined with ordinary people of Qi State.

After the Northern Army captured the capital of King Qi, the Northern soldiers did not harass the common people in the capital. The Northern Army only killed a few aristocratic families, and then supported a new manager, allowing the common people to count the fields and sign a land ownership change agreement.

Apart from this, the Northern Army has not done anything harmful to the people. The most important thing is that as soon as the Northern Army arrived, they immediately announced a tax exemption, which also made the people have a good impression of the Northern King.

After the preparations were completed, Lu Chen arrived at the capital of King Qi. (End of chapter)
