Chapter 251

Chu Haokuan woke up early in the morning and felt like the sky had fallen. How come he was named King An?

Being named Prince of An would be fine, anyway, he has no chance of getting the throne, but he has to go to Anzhou!

Chu Haokuan was not happy because Anzhou was the poorest place in Chu Yuan Kingdom.

He couldn't imagine how he would live in Anzhou.

Anzhou is not as comfortable as living in the capital.

"Your Highness, can you please ask the Emperor and Concubine De not to go to Anzhou?" At this time, an enchanting woman looked at Chu Haokuan with a pleading look and asked.

"Don't think about it." Chu Haokuan sneered in his heart. Just now, Eunuch Li came in person to announce the decree.

There will be no turning back on this matter.

But he didn't understand. Now he was just an idle prince. What had he done wrong? Why did his father suddenly want him to go to his fiefdom?

"Your Highness, I also want to go to the fiefdom with you, but you should also think about the child in my belly. Can it withstand our trip to Anzhou..." Ruyue said with a sad face. She was thinking in her heart whether she could stay in the capital with the help of the child. After all, there is Concubine De in the palace. This is Concubine De's grandson, and Concubine De will definitely take good care of him.

By then, even if the eldest prince is far away in Anzhou, he will not suffer any loss if he is in the capital.

"I'm afraid my father will take back this prince's mansion later." Chu Haokuan ruthlessly interrupted Ruyue's fantasy.

"How is that possible?" Ruyue didn't believe it. If they went to Anzhou, the emperor would take back the prince's mansion. Shouldn't it be kept for them?

"Concubine Ru didn't listen carefully, right? Father asked mother to go to Anzhou with us, and she cannot return to the capital without being summoned!" Chu Haokuan smiled self-deprecatingly. If he could not return to the capital without being summoned, he would have to live in Anzhou, a desolate place from now on.

"How is it possible? My mother is the emperor's concubine, the head of the four concubines. Why would she suddenly be given the same fiefdom as you? Your Highness, what did my mother do in the palace? Did she anger my father?" Ruyue was originally from the palace, so she naturally knew all the twists and turns in the palace. At this moment, she quickly realized that something was wrong.

"You mean mother?" Chu Haokuan was a little slow to react at this time. After all, in his heart, Concubine De had shielded him from many storms.

Now, he was suddenly demoted to Anzhou, was it because of his mother?

The original plan to go to Liucheng was suddenly interrupted.

"At this moment, a news flash came from the northwestern border town, saying that there are unusual movements in Xijing Country. Second brother, you must immediately take 100,000 elite soldiers to support General Zhu." Chu Yuanming said in a deep voice.

Although he was prepared for a possible war with the Kingdom of Xijing, he was still a little unsure when the time really came.

Chu Haojue looked at the news coming back from the border town, as well as the letter sent back by Zhu Yuanliang.

Zhu Yuanliang rode his horse at full speed until he reached the vicinity of Xijing State, but he only stopped the Xijing State envoy, Princess Zhou Tonghua and others.

The third prince Zhou Chengzhi had already returned to Xijing Kingdom before them. If Zhou Chengzhi was leading people in the border town of Xijing Kingdom, they wanted to break through the border town, occupy the border town, and then attack their Chuyuan Kingdom.

When Zhu Yuanliang went there, he only brought 3,000 elite soldiers with him. Facing the sudden attack from the Xijing Kingdom, he was unable to withstand it at all.

However, Zhu Yuanliang was able to control the envoys from Xijing State and Zhou Tonghua.

At that time, Zhu Yuanliang was looking forward to Chu Haojue's support.

"Be careful on your trip. I have asked people to prepare food and fodder. They will meet you in Jiuzhou. If the quantity is not enough at that time, Beiluo will collect it later and send it to you." Qiao Anan quickly instructed Chu Haojue.

Although they were prepared for this matter, when it suddenly happened, Qiao Anan felt that it was too hasty and she had no time to prepare many things.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." Chu Haojue saw Qiao Anan was so worried about him. Since Qiao Anan wanted to sell him out before, he decided not to bother with her for the time being.

"I have prepared five large boxes of gunpowder for you, and Xizhi will escort those things personally. If the Xijing Kingdom is difficult to deal with, you can just use gunpowder. There is no need to confront them head-on. Although their cannons may be powerful, it is more troublesome to fire them. Remember to take the initiative!" Qiao Anan instructed again.

"Okay, go back quickly, I'm leaving first! Take care of yourself." Chu Haojue patted Qiao Anan and said.

Although he was reluctant to leave Qiao Anan, the border town was in danger and he had to hurry to rescue Zhu Yuanliang and the people in the border town.

This is his mission.

Chu Haojue turned over and got on his warhorse. He waved to Qiao Anan, then rode his horse to the front and led their Chu Yuan Kingdom's 100,000 elite soldiers to the border town.

Qiao Anan didn't say anything else, because she knew that Chu Haojue had to go on this trip.

"Chu Haojue, you must come back safely!" Qiao Anan shouted to Chu Haojue who was riding on a horse.

Chu Haojue stopped for a while without looking back. He was afraid that the longer he stayed, the more reluctant he would be to leave.

"Miss, His Highness has gone far away. You should go back." Chun Tao looked at the army that had long disappeared and whispered to Qiao Anan.

"Well, let's go back!" Qiao Anan sniffed and said with some displeasure.

Come to think of it, this was the first time they had been separated for such a long time since they had been married.

Chu Yuanming stood on the imperial city, looked at the direction the army was leaving, and sighed deeply.

I thought to myself, being an emperor is not a job for a human being.

In the past ten years, he was poor and destitute. Now, thanks to the Qiao family, the national treasury has finally become a little better. However, before even a year has passed, the State of Xijing invaded.

Thinking of Chu Haojue leaving for Xijing Kingdom, Chu Yuanming was also a little worried.

"I hope everything goes well." Chu Yuanming sighed.

"Father, the second prince will definitely return in triumph." The prince knew what Chu Yuanming was worried about, and he spoke quickly.

"Xijing Kingdom has a powerful cannon. I wonder how powerful it is." Chu Yuanming actually didn't know how powerful the cannon was, but he was afraid that Chu Haojue could not withstand the power of the cannon.

"Father, don't worry. As long as we can win, my second brother will never let anyone from Xijing Kingdom go. If we really can't win, my second brother will definitely not stand there and let them beat him. He will definitely find a way to escape first." The prince thought to himself, as long as he was alive, there was still a chance.

Although he had heard that Xijing State had powerful cannons, didn't they also have powerful gunpowder?

He had never seen the power of a cannon, but he was very clear about the power of gunpowder. Therefore, it was still unknown who would win or lose on this trip to Xijing.
