A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Chapter 396. The situation in the capital city changes

After today's battle, Shen Qingqian discovered a problem. Although the gun is a good weapon, many people cannot use it well, and gun skills cannot be mastered in a short time.

Grenades are better, simple and crude, and anyone can use them.

She had never thought about this problem before, so she focused on making guns, and only made less than a hundred grenades in total.

If we work day and night in the next three days, we can make another 60 or 70. Grenades are not like other weapons, 60 or 70 is also a lot!

The educated youth asked worriedly, "But girl, your leg is injured. I'm afraid it's not convenient for you to travel for the time being?"

Shen Qingqian said: "It's okay. It shouldn't affect my riding if I rest for three days. You can arrange for someone to make me a pair of crutches."

The educated youth knew that Shen Qingqian's decision was difficult to change, so they stopped trying to persuade her and went to do their work.

King Xiaoyao was seriously injured and was still in a coma when he returned to the capital. It could be said that his life was hanging by a thread.

The military doctors and imperial doctors all examined him and said that the situation was not optimistic and they were not sure when he would wake up. Many affairs in the capital were temporarily handled by Prime Minister Dong and the brothers Luo Xiang and Luo Chong.

Many officials in the capital city had not seen Emperor Qiyuan return for a long time, and under the coercion and inducement of King Xiaoyao, they had already accepted their fate and were ready to submit to King Xiaoyao. But suddenly they received the news that King Xiaoyao was seriously injured, and the officials in the court began to panic again!

A country cannot be without a ruler for a day, which gave Prime Minister Dong some ideas. King Xiaoyao had basically seized the throne of the Great Yue Kingdom, but King Xiaoyao fell again, and even King Xiaoyao's most capable right-hand men, Chen Zheng and Wang Tianyou, died. Why didn't he take advantage of this ready-made opportunity?

To be honest, Prime Minister Dong had not had this idea before. Firstly, his surname was not Zhao, so he would not get many people's support for his attempt to usurp the throne; secondly, he had no military power, so there was basically no possibility of success.

So he always supported the king of Rui to take the throne. King of Rui was his nephew, and only when King of Rui took the throne, he, as the uncle, could have greater power.

But now, it seemed that he didn't have to do anything, and he replaced King Xiaoyao and became the person with the most say in the court!

Once Prime Minister Dong came up with this idea, the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

It was he who helped Luo Xiang and Luo Chong to get close to King Xiaoyao. Now that King Xiaoyao was in this situation, the two would naturally listen to him.

Most of the people in charge under King Xiaoyao were dead, so the army naturally fell into the hands of Prime Minister Dong.

So Prime Minister Dong called together several of his close aides to discuss the matter.

Prime Minister Dong was born in a civil service, scheming and able to manipulate people's hearts. He spent the whole night lecturing these people, painting a rosy picture, and planning grand plans for the future.

The staff members left the next morning. When they left, they were all as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They were full of energy and were willing to risk their lives for Prime Minister Dong.

It’s a pity that their grand plan was aborted before it even started to be implemented, not even through the night!

That night, the city gate of the capital was blown up. Zhao Yichen, Zhao Yifeng and Han Qingshan led 20,000 troops and marched straight into the capital without any warning.

Torches lit up the night sky of the capital, and the sound of horse hooves and shouts of killing resounded throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.

Zhao Yichen and his group left Shen Qingqian and arrived outside the capital city early the next morning.

After they joined the army under their command, they did not attack the city immediately, but spent a day to get a clear picture of the situation in the capital. They also made a detailed battle plan and started the siege the next night.

Originally, it was not an easy task to capture the city gate, but Shen Qingqian's grenade helped them a lot.

Zhao Yichen and Zhao Yifeng had never seen the power of grenades before, so this use shocked them both!

Shen Qingqian arrived in the evening of the second day after Zhao Yichen and his men attacked the capital.

Shen Qingqian was here to assassinate someone, so she only brought Yingzi, Zhiqing, and Zhizhu with her. And then there were guns and grenades.

Regardless of whether King Xiaoyao died after being shot by Yingzi's arrow, she would send him to heaven this time. She would also kill Prime Minister Dong and King Rui, who had grudges against her. Otherwise, when the country of Daiyue fell into the hands of these people, how could she live a good life?

Therefore, anyone who has a grudge against her must die!

Shen Qingqian certainly would not choose to lead troops to attack the city, as the result would only be to injure 1,000 enemies and 800 of his own men. In the end, countless people on both sides were killed or wounded, and the leader fled because he alerted the enemy.

Therefore, Shen Qingqian wanted to kill those people quietly. With the strength of the four of them and the weapons in their hands, Shen Qingqian believed that they could do it!

However, when they arrived in the capital, the scene was completely different.

After Zhao Yichen and his men led their troops into the capital, Prime Minister Dong ordered Luo Chong and Luo Xiang to lead the troops to resist. After a day of intermittent fighting, the brothers Luo Chong and Luo Xiang were defeated and retreated to the palace, closing the palace gates.

Zhao Yichen's men surrounded the palace and were about to attack when Prime Minister Dong appeared on the high palace wall holding the queen hostage.

"Mother!"

"Queen!"

Zhao Yichen, Zhao Yifeng and Han Qingshan exclaimed at the same time when they saw the queen.

They had already heard that the Emperor and Concubine Hui had disappeared with Prince Rui, and the Queen was captured by Prince Xiaoyao's men. They thought that after they captured the palace, they would rescue the Queen first and then look for the Emperor. But they didn't expect that Prime Minister Dong actually captured the Queen to threaten them!

At this moment, the queen looked extremely miserable. Her hair was already in disarray, scattered like a tangled mess. Her eyes were tightly closed, and her pale face was bloodless, making it impossible to tell whether she was alive or dead.

Two strong guards held her tightly on both sides, as if they were afraid that she would suddenly escape.

"Dong, you are such a shameless, despicable villain! Tell me, what did you do to my mother?"

Zhao Yifeng was the first to lose control of his anger and started to curse. His eyes were wide open, staring at Prime Minister Dong on the palace wall, his eyes burning with rage, as if he wanted to burn him to ashes.

Zhao Yichen on the side was also staring at the position of Prime Minister Dong, the Queen and others. His eyes were as sharp as two swords, piercing straight at them.

His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and his knuckles turned slightly white due to excessive force, showing his extreme tension and anger.

Prime Minister Dong was also nervous at the moment, but more of it was unwillingness. He was about to succeed, so why did these two evil stars, Zhao Yichen and Zhao Yifeng, suddenly come back?

But he still pretended to be calm and shouted to the people below: "If you dare to step into the palace, I will kill the queen immediately."
