The eldest son is fierce

The eldest princess narrowed her eyes. She knew very little about the new army. She only knew that this was an army trained by the Dayan Military Academy established by Emperor Yanwen and Tang Yi more than a month ago.

The total force is about 5,000 people.

But most of the troops guarding Kyoto are in her hands, which totals to 100,000. With 100,000 troops in hand, does she still need to care about these 5,000 troops?

Look down upon? Not really, but I have never looked at it seriously.

To her, these five thousand soldiers were nothing more than the last dying struggle of Emperor Yanwen and Tang Yi!

"Tell me in detail what you found?" The eldest princess opened the book and asked casually.

Zhuge Yunjue had already prepared a speech on the way. He was going to report the situation of the new army to the princess from multiple angles and dimensions, and to analyze the horror of the new army in detail for her.

After all, he could see with his own eyes the new army's fighting spirit. Every soldier was like a tiger coming down the mountain, howling at Tang Yi's stimulation.

But now, looking at the princess's attitude, all her words were choked in her throat.

After experiencing many failures, the eldest princess no longer trusted him so much. Now, his long speeches would not only fail to win the appreciation and favor of this woman, but would make her even more disgusted.

Moreover, he had no evidence to prove how powerful the new army was, as the new army had never fought in a battle!

"Your Highness, the new army is equipped with the latest weapons."

"Those women of Tang Yi were able to defeat the King of Zhennan by carrying this new weapon."

After thinking for a while, Zhuge Yunjue found that the only things he could talk about were the new army's weapons, morale, and fighting spirit. These things were vague and intangible. If he talked about them too much, the woman would think he was afraid.

What's the saying? Boosting others' ambitions only diminishes your own.

The princess had already obtained some information about the flintlock rifle. She paused for a moment and said, "The weapon you're talking about is called a flintlock rifle. It's very powerful, but the reload time is too slow, making it even worse than a bow and arrow."

"With just these weapons, there's no way Tang Yi and those women can defeat the King of Zhennan."

The princess stared at Zhuge Yunjue and sneered, "Didn't you hear the explosion? I heard it too. How could you, who is in charge of escorting the Prince of Zhennan, not know?"

"The reason Du Lingfei and the other women were able to defeat the King of Zhennan was because of the Sky Thunder."

"Those women must have used their old tricks again and buried thunder bombs in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion. They detonated them when the Prince of Zhennan rushed in, causing him heavy losses."

"Don't worry, it's not that scary!"

Zhuge Yunjue was stunned. Even though Du Lingfei and the others had taken advantage of the power of the thunder bomb, they could not ignore the flintlock rifle.

Flintlock rifles are not as good as bows and arrows? That's because you haven't seen how shocking the scene was when Du Lingfei and her group of women were chasing Nangong Chu with flintlock rifles. Almost all the soldiers were shocked, okay?

You call this not so scary? Ignorance is scary!

"Your Highness, I'm not kidding you. We know too little about the new army."

Zhuge Yunjue took a deep breath and said, "Since Your Highness mentioned the Sky Thunder, then let's talk about it. The Sky Thunder blew up Shen Garden, blew up Jixiang Street, and now it has blown up the Prince of Zhennan."

"We all know this thing is terrifying. Your Highness, do you know what a thunder bomb looks like?"

The eldest princess frowned. She really didn't know this.

Emperor Yanwen and Tang Yi did a very good job of keeping the flintlock rifle and the thunder bomb secret. She had seen the flintlock rifle, but had never seen what the thunder bomb looked like.

Almost everyone who has seen the thunder bomb has died.

"So, what do you want to say?" The eldest princess looked up and her eyes fell on Zhuge Yunjue.

This man always obeyed her and seldom got angry with her, but now his tone was filled with strong dissatisfaction.

"In addition to being equipped with flintlock rifles, the new soldiers also carried six round wooden objects over a foot long..."

Zhuge Yunjue raised his hand to indicate the length of the grenade, then looked at the princess and said, "What if, I mean what if, what if these six round objects are thunder bombs?"

"Five thousand new soldiers, each with six thunder bombs, that's thirty thousand thunder bombs."

"Have you ever thought about what it would be like if thirty thousand bombs exploded at once, Your Highness?"

The princess narrowed her eyes upon hearing this and stared at Zhuge Yunjue for a moment before chuckling softly and saying, "Strap a thunder bomb onto your body? Mr. Zhuge, do you think that's possible?"

"If it explodes, there will be no remains!"

When Zhuge Yunjue heard this, he was so angry that he almost cursed. It might be impossible for others, but your opponent is Tang Yi, it’s Tang Yi!

Don't be surprised by anything that happens to that guy, okay?

In three months, he crippled Fan's party, killed Hou's party, and even tortured us half to death!

Now it is normal for him to really hang the thunder bomb on his body.

He was about to persuade her again, but the princess raised her hand, pinched her brow, and said, "We'll know tomorrow whether they're wearing thunder bombs or not. I'm really curious how Tang Yi's 5,000 new troops will fare against the 5,000 cavalrymen armed to the teeth by the Zhenbei Crown Prince Di."

"Flintlock rifles? Ha, I'm afraid that before they fire even two shots, the Northern Di prince's cavalry will have broken through their formation and slaughtered them indiscriminately."

Seeing that the princess had already ordered them to leave, Zhuge Yunjue could only bow and say, "Yes, Your Highness is right. I hope I am wrong."

"If Your Highness has no further instructions, I will take my leave."

The eldest princess smiled and waved her hand, and Zhuge Yunjue left the hall.

As he walked out of the hall, a cold wind blew towards him. Zhuge Yunjue subconsciously gathered his cloak, looked up at the dark sky, and felt powerless.

As the chief aide of the Princess's Mansion, he thought he could compete with Fan Yong, Emperor Yanwen, and all the civil and military officials in the court. Now he realized that without the Princess's approval, he was nothing.

Even if you see through many things, no one will believe you when you tell them the truth!

……

At the same time, Tang Yi had led 500 soldiers from the Imperial Court and appeared at the Dongyu Embassy.

What surprised Tang Yi was that the door of the Dongyu Embassy was wide open, and the guards were standing neatly on both sides, without any sign of wanting to fight to the death.

Nangong Yue, wearing a scholar's robe and a mink cloak, was standing in the middle of the courtyard. Seeing him stop his horse in front of the gate, he smiled and bowed, saying, "Nangong Yue, the chief envoy of the Southern Pacification, greets the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery."

Tang Yi reined in the horse, looked down at Nangong Yue and said, "You're quite self-disciplined. Do you want me to give you a certificate of commendation as an incentive?"

Nangong Yue shook his head and said, "When I heard the explosion, I guessed that Nangong Chu and the others would not succeed. Alas, people should not have bad intentions. If you have evil intentions, you have to pay the price."

"I originally thought that if the Prince of Zhennan succeeded, he would be able to effectively control the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. I didn't expect... he would still fail."

He looked up at Tang Yi and said, "I can die, but please, Marquis Zhongyong, spare these guards and servants. How about that?"

"Lord Zhongyong is kind and benevolent. I..."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Yi turned his head to look at the Imperial Guard Captain beside him and snapped his fingers:

"Kill them all, except Nangong Yue, leave no one alive!"
