The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

Chapter 94: The water and soil in the Western Regions nourish people, please invite her over!

Li Wei, the aide to the Prince of Qi, advised: "Your Majesty, calm down. The gunpowder issue really needs to be investigated thoroughly."

The King of Qi said unhappily, "Investigate, investigate. I know the answer, but where did that ghost thing come from? I have never seen it before."

There is a reason why the King of Qi is so angry. The King of Jin is the emperor, and this country belongs to them, the merchants, after all.

But now, this country will soon change hands.

The King of Qi also suspected that the Marquis of Zhenbei had long been planning a rebellion, and that he had been able to endure such a powerful weapon until now.

When the Hu army was approaching, they were not exposed at all.

At the same time, the King of Qi was also angry with the former Crown Prince Shang Yunxiao. If he had not insisted on sending his eunuch to ask for help from the Marquis of Zhenbei, Zhao Nanxiao would not have had the excuse to rebel.

At least, the emperor of the Shang Dynasty could only be fought over by these princes. If anyone else rebelled, he would be considered a traitor and would be killed by anyone and despised by people all over the world.

However, now that Zhao Nanxiao was doing this under the pretext of avenging the late crown prince, everything seemed to be going on as it should.

At the same time, he was also angry that the new emperor was colluding with the Turks and Xianbei.

Now people all over the world wish that the Shang Dynasty would perish as soon as possible.

Especially since Zhao Nanxiao's reputation for caring for the people in the north has spread, there are fewer and fewer people who resist the Zhao family.

Li Wei also found that the King of Qi was getting more and more irritable, but since he was his master, he could only coax him, "Your Highness, calm down and take care of yourself. In fact, that kind of weapon should be easy to make as long as we can get the real thing."

Gao Cong continued, "Your Majesty, why not have spies sneak into the Zhenbei Army's forging camp to find out the raw materials and manufacturing process of explosives."

The King of Qi was satisfied after hearing Gao Cong's proposal. "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."

Gao Cong bent down, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

The King of Qi felt a little better. Thinking of Eunuch Gao who had delivered the message, he angrily said, "Sent someone to look for Eunuch Gao. Did they find him?"

Li Wei shook his head, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Gao is no longer useful. I'm sure Zhao Nanxiao won't value him anymore. I guess he can't hide for long."

The King of Qi also thought this was true, but he needed to vent his anger.

"That rootless bastard must be found, no matter what the cost!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Okay, you all go down!"

The other generals also lowered their heads and wanted to leave.

Now they have no weapons to fight against the Zhenbei Army, so even if they go to attack the city, they will just be delivering food.

Therefore, the generals could only guard the west of Yumen Pass to preserve their strength.

As soon as Li Guozhu took a step, he was stopped by the King of Qi.

"Admiral Li, wait a moment!"

Li Guozhu: “….”

Li Guozhu is tall and a typical northern man.

He is a big and strong man, and is very easy to recognize in a crowd.

Li Guozhu was cautious and stammered, "My Lord, do you have any other instructions?"

The King of Qi glanced at Li Guozhu from head to toe, "Lieutenant General Li, you and Zhao Nanxiao are relatives, did you really not know anything about this beforehand?"

Li Guozhu knelt on the ground with a plop. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am loyal to you and have no second thoughts."

The King of Qi narrowed his eyes, "Oh? I remember that Zhao Nanxiao had corresponded with you before, not to mention that your niece is the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family!"

Li Guozhu knelt down and took a few steps forward, "Your Highness, please check clearly. My niece is stupid. Since she married into the Zhao family, she has been thrown into the backyard.

The woman Zhao Zhen liked was his cousin.

The Zhao family went even further. When the barbarians attacked, the Marquis' wife, Mrs. Song, abandoned her. Now I don't even know if my niece is alive!"

The King of Qi didn't believe it. "Oh? After all, that person is your niece, why didn't you send anyone to look for her?"

Li Guozhu raised his head carefully, "Your Highness, at that time the Turks were eyeing us covetously, and I really didn't consider the safety of my niece."

The King of Qi stepped forward and personally helped Li Guozhu up, "Guozhu!"

Li Guozhu tensed up when his name was called, and he carefully echoed, "Prince!"

The King of Qi patted Li Guozhu on the shoulder and said, "Guozhu, that child is your niece after all. As her uncle, you should also pay more attention to her and look for her.

The climate and soil in our Western Regions are good for people, if you can find her and bring her to the Western Regions, that would be great too!"

Li Guozhu knew what it meant as soon as he heard it. The prince wanted to use his niece to threaten the Zhao family.

But Li Guozhu felt that the Zhao family was so powerful now that they would not care about their niece at all.

"Your Majesty, I will send people to the north to look for her. However, she is a weak woman, stranded in the territory of the barbarians. Perhaps... perhaps she is no longer alive."

The King of Qi felt that Li Guozhu was just shirking responsibility, and his face turned cold. "Lieutenant General Li, it's best not to make a conclusion about something that has no result!"

Li Guozhu's heart tightened, and he immediately stood still, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will send someone to look for him right away."

The King of Qi was satisfied, "Okay, go down!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Guozhu left the palace with unsteady steps.

When he returned home, he was still in a daze.

When his wife Liu saw Li Guozhu was so distracted, she immediately stepped forward and asked, "Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Li Guozhu held his wife's arm with his big hand and said, "Let's go inside and talk."

The Li family's house was newly purchased, and the neighbors around it are also military personnel.

It's certainly not the place to talk outside the door now.

Liu also moved here later. She originally lived in Puchang County.

Li Guozhu's eldest son, Li Tianxiong, is 18 years old this year, but he is very spoiled by Liu.

He is the son of a military commander, but he doesn't know any martial arts.

Li Guozhu was away from home all year round and had no time to take care of his son's upbringing.

When Li Tianxiong saw his father coming back, he immediately shouted, "Dad, you are finally back. I don't like it here. I want to go back to our original home."

The climate in the Western Regions is different from that in Puchang, and it is difficult for Li Tianxiong to adapt here.

Li Guozhu was already upset, "Shut up, what are you talking about?"

Li Guozhu looked around, fearing that his colleagues next door might have heard his son's rebellious words.

Who would like to stay in this great Northwest, and who doesn’t like the prosperity of the Central Plains?

The prince was already hiding here and was angry. If someone else reported his son's words to the higher-ups, he would be in big trouble.

Li Tianxiong was raised crooked by Liu, and he was not afraid of his father. "I want to say, I don't like it here, I don't want to stay in this damn place."

Li Guozhu raised his hand and slapped Li Tianxiong.

Liu ran over in a hurry, "Tianxiong, how are you?"

Li Tianxiong was not close to his father to begin with, and now he looked at his father with an angry look, "How dare you hit me? I will never recognize you as my father again!"

Li Guozhu: "......"

This is his son!

Is a son like this really worth all the sacrifices he has made for him?

Thinking of his niece Qin Wan, he felt mixed emotions.
