The eldest son is fierce

Lin Cheng was a little unhappy. He was the commander of the imperial guards. His military ability was not top-notch but it was not weak either. However, facing an opponent like Tang Yi who could kill a master, he was still a little scared.

He lowered his face to ask Xiao Hu because he wanted to get more suggestions from Xiao Hu. After all, Xiao Hu was the leader of the secret guards and controlled the huge intelligence organization in Nanjing. His opinions should be worth listening to.

In the end, instead of getting any advice, Xiao Hu gave him a hard time.

Making a mountain out of a molehill? Tang Yi isn't that scary? The last person to act this pretentious was Huangfu Zong, and he's already as dead as can be.

Now, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Tang Yi did not follow the army to advance step by step to Kyoto, but chose to bring the Dayan spies to Nanjing to stir up trouble. With such courage and bravery, do you call this not scary?

"Commander Lin, Kyoto is not the southern border of Great Yan. Tang Yi was able to kill Huangfu Zong in the southern border of Great Yan because, firstly, Huangfu Zong underestimated the enemy, and secondly, he had the advantage of time and place."

Xiao Hu stood still, a sinister smile on his face: "But this is not the southern border of Da Yan, this is Nanjing Kyoto, and here we are the protagonists."

"Here, we can muster a force of over a hundred thousand. Even if Tang Yi gathers all the secret agents in Nanjing, he can only have three thousand at most."

"Three thousand versus a hundred thousand, how can he fight?"

Lin Cheng glared at Xiao Hu and said, "Brother Xiao, are you serious? Isn't the mall the territory of the Zhennan Prince? The Zhennan Prince's Mansion has been operating in the mall for hundreds of years, and what's the result?"

"Tang Yi broke into the Zhennan Army camp in Shangcheng alone, killed the Zhennan King, and took away hundreds of thousands of Zhennan soldiers..."

Xiao Hu scoffed at this and said, "Why was Tang Yi able to take the Zhennan Army? That's because the vast majority of the Zhennan Army came from Yun, Kun, and Li cities and dozens of counties. Their families were sacrificed by Huangfu Zong. If it were you, wouldn't you take revenge?"

Lin Cheng opened his mouth to refute, but he held back the words. Although this reason was a bit far-fetched, it was barely acceptable.

Xiao Hu sneered and said, "I think Your Majesty is right about one thing. Tang Yi's target is not the palace, but he wants to cause chaos in Nanjing Kyoto. As long as Kyoto is in chaos, it will definitely affect the morale of the front line."

"As long as the morale of the front lines is low, the Great Yan army will suffer fewer casualties when attacking cities and conquering territories."

He raised his hand and patted Lin Cheng on the shoulder, saying, "Don't worry. Even if Tang Yi has a hundred guts, he won't dare to enter the palace without permission. Otherwise, he will be walking into a trap and will be the biggest idiot in the world."

Lin Cheng wanted to hit someone after hearing this. You said it so easily, but if something unexpected happens, the unlucky one will be me, the commander of the imperial guards!

Xiao Hu's smile faded slightly. He glanced around, making sure no one was approaching them. Then he looked at Lin Cheng and whispered, "Instead of worrying about Tang Yi, you might as well pay more attention to Zhuge Wanwan. In Zhuge Wanwan's eyes, we're all dead, and now we're suddenly back. What do you think she'll do if she knows we're still alive?"

Lin Cheng's face turned pale.

He had fought alongside Zhuge Wanwan before and knew how terrifying this woman was. If she really knew they were still alive, she would come back and tear their entire clan into pieces.

Xiao Hu clenched the sword at his waist and said in a cold voice, "I don't care whether Tang Yi lives or dies, but Zhuge Wanwan must die. If she doesn't die, we all have to die."

Lin Cheng turned his head and looked towards Cheng'en Palace. Zhuge Yong had been relocated by the young emperor and was now heavily guarded by 3,000 imperial guards in Cheng'en Palace. "As long as the only descendant of the Zhuge family is still in our hands, Zhuge Wanwan's life and death will be ours."

He was still worried about Tang Yi!

Tang Yi is now in Kyoto, Zhuge Wanwan is in the northern border, and Zhuge Wanwan also has the Zhuge family's only legitimate grandson to use as a handle for them, but what about Tang Yi? They only know about Tang Yi in his glorious deeds.

In terms of the degree of danger, Lin Cheng felt that even ten Zhuge Wanwans would not be a match for Tang Yi.

At this moment, the sound of creaking wheels suddenly came from the air. Xiao Hu and Lin Cheng immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw a convoy coming towards them in the distance. There were at least twenty or thirty carriages, and each carriage was pulling seven or eight large boxes.

Xiao Hu and Lin Cheng looked at each other and walked quickly towards the convoy. When they saw them, the captain of the imperial guards who was in charge of escorting the convoy immediately ran forward and saluted.

"I greet Commander Lin and Chief Xiao."

Xiao Hu's eyes were as cold as a hawk's. He asked, "Captain Zhao, what is that thing you're pulling?"

Zhao Qi looked at Lin Cheng in surprise and said, "Commander-in-chief, didn't His Majesty order all the arrows and weapons in the military arsenal to be transported to the palace to guard against Tang Yi?"

"These are the latest batch of rockets and shield weapons manufactured by the General Staff. Please inspect them, Commander-in-Chief."

Zhao Qiyi waved his hand and shouted, "Open the box and let Commander Da and Commander Xiao inspect it."

With a series of clanging sounds, the escorting soldiers immediately opened the box. Xiao Hu and Lin Cheng looked at each other, walked forward and looked into the open box. Sure enough, they saw neatly arranged arrow feathers in the box.

Each box contained three to four hundred arrows, and each arrow had a square of combustible material tied behind the tip of the arrow. To prevent the combustible material from getting damp, it was all wrapped in oil paper.

When using it, just tear off the oil paper, light the combustible material and shoot the arrow, and it will become a perfect rocket.

The other dozen or so boxes contained shields and weapons. There was naturally nothing to check about the shields and weapons, so Xiao Hu didn't even look at the boxes containing the weapons and shields. Instead, he raised his hand and took out an arrow from the arrow box in front of him.

Xiao Hu picked up the rocket and felt its weight. The weight of the rocket in his hand was not much different from the weight of the rocket in his memory. But when he saw him about to raise his hand to tear the oil paper, Zhao Qi's throat rolled subconsciously.

The combustible materials of these rockets are all bombs. You can see the fuse by removing the oil paper. If the old thief Xiao Hu sees the fuse, no matter how stupid he is, he will know that there is something wrong with this batch of weapons.

That won't do. These weapons are their most valuable treasures. If they can't be transported in, Tang Yi won't be able to complete his plan of a surprise attack on the palace tonight.

Zhao Qi stepped forward, took out the document for deploying weapons, and handed it to Xiao Hu with both hands: "Commander Xiao, Grand Commander, this is the order of His Majesty, please review it."

Xiao Hu and Lin Cheng stayed with the old emperor and the young emperor all day, so they naturally knew the young emperor's order to mobilize the military. The random inspection was just to avoid any accidents.

As expected, after hearing what Zhao Qi said, Xiao Hu did not continue to unwrap the oil paper. He threw the arrow back into the box and looked at Zhao Qi and said, "The military equipment should be transported to the outside of the imperial study and handed over to His Majesty for disposal."

This kind of thing didn't need to be handled by the emperor himself, but Xiao Hu knew that since the young emperor directly bypassed him and Lin Cheng to mobilize military equipment, it meant that the young emperor was very panicked and wanted to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the royal guards and imperial guards around him.

After all, neither of them, father or son, trusts anyone, so how could they possibly put their lives in their hands?

Zhao Qi bowed and waved his hand, and the escorting soldiers immediately closed the boxes and reloaded them onto the truck. Soon the convoy continued to move forward.

Xiao Hu frowned subconsciously as he watched the team gradually moving away. He always felt that he seemed to have overlooked something, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't find out what he had overlooked.

But I just feel so inexplicably empty!
