Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

However, Prince Gong's expression changed after reading only a few lines!

Prince Gong shouted at Ejier, "Where is the messenger?"

Ejier was startled and said quickly, "Your Highness, that man was received by San Dezi. After San Dezi took the letter, he sent the man away..."

Prince Gong shouted angrily, "Asshole! They're from the Firearms Battalion, sent by Liu Ye. Hurry, go find them for me! If you can't find them, I'll have San Dezi expelled from the palace and never employed again!"

Yi? has always had a good temper. The servants under him rarely see the prince lose his temper. Today the prince got angry, which is a big deal.

Ejier quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I will send the people from the palace out to search for him right away!"

Yi? shouted, "Go quickly, find him no matter what!"

Ejir ran out in a panic.

Yi? murmured, "Liu Ye, you have given me a big problem. Luo Tinghe is nothing, but the people behind Luo Tinghe are not easy to deal with!"

Luo Tinghe was the eldest son of Hunan Governor Luo Bingzhang, the nephew of Kuang Yuan, the Minister of Personnel and in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and a favored disciple of Grand Secretary Weiren. Liu Ye had swept in at least three big men in one stroke. Luo Bingzhang was currently suppressing the Taiping Rebellion in Hunan and Hubei, and he couldn't be easily offended at this time. Even Emperor Xianfeng had to give him some face, and even considered transferring Luo Bingzhang to Sichuan to serve as the Governor-General of Sichuan! That would be a top-level frontier official!

Ejier had just left when he came back again, his face full of joy, and shouted, "Your Highness, the messenger hasn't left yet. He's still outside the palace. I've brought him in!"

Yi Yi snorted coldly and shouted, "Give Sandezi a good beating and teach him a lesson. I told you that anything related to Liu Ye must be reported to me immediately. He actually dared to lock the people Liu Ye sent out. He's truly a jerk!"

As he spoke, Gao Qi walked in from outside, knelt on the ground, and shouted, "I am Gao Qi, the captain of the Firearms Battalion, and I pay my respects to the prince!"

Yi Yi waved his hand and said, "Alright, get up. This is urgent. Don't be polite. Tell me what happened!"

Gao Qi quickly stood up and recounted what happened last night.

Yi? felt a little relieved. The matter itself was caused by Luo Tinghe's carelessness and the mistake he made first. Although Liu Ye also made mistakes, his case could still be defended. After all, which general had a good temper? You beat up a capable general without any explanation and threw him into jail, so you can't blame Liu Ye for being ruthless.

However, if Liu Ye had offended someone else, it would have been easy to deal with. But the people involved were too powerful. Even for him as a prince, it would not be easy to deal with them!

Yi Qi pondered for a moment and said, "Gao Qi, I know about this matter. I will prepare as soon as possible, but your general has really caused a big trouble this time. This kid is too ignorant of his own limitations and dares to mess with anyone!"

Gao Qi was startled and looked at Yi Xin in confusion. Wasn't he just a county magistrate? Even if it was a county magistrate in the capital, he was only a sixth-rank official. Why was the prince so embarrassed?

Yi Yi sighed and said, "That Luo Tinghe is no ordinary man. He passed the imperial examination in the first year of the Xianfeng Emperor's reign. He's the son of Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Hunan Province, and a favored disciple of Grand Secretary Weiren. He's quite influential in the capital, and his connections are complex. If the people behind him become united against us, things will be very difficult to handle! You must return to the Firearms Battalion immediately and have Liu Ye send a letter to the Monk King. If they really plot a conflict, even I won't be able to withstand their offensive!"

Gao Qi quickly replied, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Before I came, the military commander had already sent someone to deliver a letter to the Monk King..."

Yi? smiled helplessly. Damn it, this Liu Ye is quite smart. He was afraid that the situation would get out of hand and he wouldn't be able to handle it, so the first thing he thought of was to send a letter to himself and the monk king. He was really amazing, this bastard!

In Tianjin, Khorchin Prince Senggelinqin was inspecting Dagukou when a fast horse came galloping towards him.

Senggelinqin stopped in his tracks. A fast horse soon arrived in front of him. He Qimou, a military officer, jumped off his horse and shouted, "Your Highness, Liu Ye from Tong County has sent an urgent letter!"

Senggelinqin's heart skipped a beat. What was going on? It was only two or three hundred miles from Tong County to Tianjin. Was there any need to be so anxious?

"Show me the letter!"

Senggelinqin took the letter, looked at it carefully, and his face changed immediately!

Damn it, Liu Ye, you are a troublemaker. It hasn't been long since you dealt with Duanhua's issue, and now you have dragged Luo Bingzhang, Woren and Kuang Yuan into this. Can you mess with Luo Tinghe so easily?

Isn't it just a captain who was wrongfully imprisoned? With your status as a second-rank general, it shouldn't be difficult to ask Luo Tinghe to release him and offer a banquet to apologize. After all, it was Luo Tinghe and his family who were at fault first. Now, not only have you burned down the He family, you've also smashed the Tong County government office, and Luo Tinghe was even kicked to the point of vomiting blood. A peaceful resolution to this matter is going to be difficult!

Besides, Woren and Liu Ye don't get along well. The two of them have quite a few conflicts. Now that such a big handle is in the hands of the underground person, how can Woren not take the opportunity to get angry?

Senggelinqin was really anxious. If something happened, it would not be enough to just rely on Prince Gong to say good things in front of the emperor. Prince Gong was quite suspected by the emperor, so he would not be of much use. If he wanted to save Guo Ye, he had to step forward himself!

Senggelinqin shouted, "Prepare a horse for me immediately. I will rush to the capital immediately!"

He Qimou was shocked. Return to the capital? The monk king was a foreign vassal. Returning to the capital like this was a taboo!

"Your Majesty, you..."

Senggelinqin shouted, "Stop talking! Something's happened with Liu Ye. I must return to the capital immediately. Tianjin's defense is now entirely in your hands. Watch Dagukou for me. If you make even the slightest mistake, I'll kill you!"

He Qimou quickly nodded in agreement.

Senggelinqin led the horse, jumped on it, and galloped away with a guard!

It took Senggelinqin only half a day to travel over 200 miles to reach the Firearm Battalion. The soldiers at the camp gate shouted, "Stop! Tell me your name!"

The attendant beside him shouted, "You are blind! This is the Monk King. Quickly send Liu Ye out to greet him!"

The soldiers shrank back in fear. "Monk King?" He was the general's immediate superior! A dignified prince with a royal title!

The soldiers hurriedly ran to deliver the letter to Liu Ye.

"Hmm? The Monk King has arrived? He's really fast!"
