C425 The Heavy Rain in the Capital (2/2)
With a clatter, the Pure Fire Tea was thrown onto the table. ”I didn't call you here to follow the book. I wanted to ask you if you've figured out anything.” What about the battleship? What about the cruiser? What kind of cannons are all 700 of them? ”
”What are you rolling your eyes for, I'm asking you a question …” You say that the Ryukyu can shoot at us, but can the Ryukyu even shoot at the French? What kind of cannon did they use? What the hell is a Guotou Village? What is a bridgehead? ”
Lao Shu trembled for a long time before he managed to squeeze out a few words. ”My lord, this information is too little …” Wait, there was another line of small characters below, the country's head water ghost actually sank a cruiser? A group of student soldier has captured another? ”
This time, the Prince Kung completely crumbled. ”Why is it so chaotic, a weak country like the Ryukyu can sink French warships? And captured another ship, are you trying to trick me? ”
Lao Shu was rubbing his hands anxiously. ”My lord, this is how the information is written. There are no specific details, but the carrier pigeon can drive a lot of things. A set of silk silk that can write over a hundred words is already an incredible feat …” Oh right, Your Royal Highness, there's still a big harvest this time! ”
”Speak!” Prince Kung immediately became excited. The mouse beard mysteriously pinched a few of its whiskers as he said in a low voice.
”My lord, the information has revealed the identity of the Ryukyu's Prime Minister more than once, which is enough to prove that what he said before was a lie. She did not do anything because it is all bullshit, the imperial government wants to punish him for lying to the monarch.”
With a crisp slap, Prince Kung sent a slap across his face, ”Fuck you, what use do I have for a useless person like you?” ”Get the hell out of here …” In the midst of his furious curses, the mouse, Hu Zi, ran away from the study like a ball.
Prince Kung was so angry that he almost went mad, didn't you just say all that nonsense? The imperial court had long known that Xiao Letian was lying. With so many merchants and fishermen travelling to and from the Ryukyu in the Qing Dynasty, how could they not find out about this?
But what can you do about it? Did he fall out with Xiao Letian? Mobilize an army to invade him? Even if they could win on land, what about in the sea? How could the Ryukyu fight? Does the Great Qing have a navy?
Furthermore, with Xiao Letian's previous attacks with the flyers and newspapers, the big battle had scared the entire imperial court into a daze. Everyone realized that if Xiao Letian continued to advertise himself like this, and threw all the secrets of the imperial court out, sooner or later, the entire imperial palace would collapse.
”You can't be smart, have you lost your wits? Is this Xiao Letian dead or alive? Why are you so hard to deal with? ” Just as the Prince was grieving for him, there was a loud bang as the doors and windows of the study were all opened by the fierce wind, scaring Prince Kung out of his wits.
It was a thunderstorm in the middle of summer, and today's exceptionally sultry atmosphere signified that there would be a heavy storm in the evening. Prince Kung stood at the window, and what assaulted his face was a sweltering, yet strangely cold wind, filling the garden with rushing eunuchs and maids.
Raising his head to look at the sky, he saw a dense black cloud pressing down on him like a sinister demon. The sky in the distance was flickering with light and darkness. The muffled sound of thunder could be heard in the distance.
”Oh, my prince, please be careful not to flash …” ”Your servant should close the window …” The Chief Eunuch, who had been using violence just now, smiled obsequiously like a cat - avoiding rat at the foot of the wall.
”Scram!” Prince Kung slapped his fat face away, ”This grandpa wants to blow the wind, can't I? Can't I see the rain? You dog slave, you also came to add to this lord's troubles? ”
”Prince, please calm your anger. Please calm down …”
”Fuck you, this grandpa is tired of Xiao today. Xiao Xiao …” What happened in the Great Qing Dynasty was caused by this Xiao fellow. Do you want to die or live … Can't you just give me a promise? ”
Under the Prince Kung's roar, yellow bean sized raindrops fell down with a crackling sound. The pitch-black raincloud covered the entire Residence of the Duke Gong.
At the same time, it rained heavily inside the Forbidden City. The dragon head in front of the Supreme Harmony Hall spat out a stream of water, causing the white waves in the Golden Water Bridge to churn as if it had caused a water monster.
Within the Forbidden City, there were many palace maids and eunuchs. The Yang energy here was not enough to begin with. Amidst the sounds of thunder and lightning, there were even a few weak ones who were scared out of their wits.
Inside the Yangxin Palace, Tongzhi, the little emperor, was standing at the entrance of the palace looking at the pouring rain like a child. However, inside the palace, his two Mother s were looking worried.
”Sister, everything is just to know whether Xiao Letian is dead or alive. I must not forget the sister who scolded me earlier on at the North Sea, but for this one month, there hasn't been any news from the mouth of the foreigners at all, right? This Xiao Letian, I think he is definitely dead … ”
When Ci An heard everything that Ci Xi said, he let out a long sigh, ”Little sister, I know you want to deal with Xiao Letian. Actually, big sister is as ruthless as you are. The distance between Europa and the Great Clear is more than a thousand miles. It's a place that even Tang San Zang has never been to before! ”
”I was afraid that the foreigners would lie to me! How many of those large nose had good hearts? ”If they give us fake information, we can even count up the money after being sold …”
Ci An was cautious as usual. This Da Qing Empire was a person who needed to be a little more cautious.
