The prince is very cruel

After just a few words, the two girls started bickering.

Guan Ning's mediation was useless, as it seemed that the two girls' personalities made them capable of becoming sisters who could talk about anything.

Guan Ning simply didn't care. After all, the two of them were just bickering and wouldn't do anything else.

One day, Guan Ning, who was soaking in a medicinal bath, suddenly received news that Luo Zhongtian had returned.

"Prince!" Luo Zhongtian was covered in dust, and although he had three broken fingers, it could not conceal the chivalrous spirit in him.

Especially after the incident of "borrowing thunder from the sky to destroy Zhao Tai", he and his men were very convinced of Guan Ning, even in awe of him, and had a tendency to follow Guan Ning.

"Brother Luo, thank you for your hard work."

"I'm recovering from my internal injuries, so I can't come out to pick you up." Guan Ning said with a smile, his upper body naked in the warm spring water, his black hair draped over his shoulders, his face alternating between pale and red, obviously suffering from severe internal injuries.

Luo Zhongtian smiled and said, "You are too polite, my lord."

"As you instructed, I've contacted Gai Yiming from the Scouting Battalion. He told me to bring back news that Zhao Tai's funeral will be held in three days."

"By then, all the senior military leaders in Guangdong and Guangxi will come to see him off and discuss the future of Guangdong and Guangxi."

"It seems the imperial court has received the news. A team of imperial envoys is heading to Guangdong and Guangxi. They probably want to take advantage of Zhao Tai's funeral and the leaderless situation to announce new personnel appointments."

Hearing this, Guan Ning in the spring water was startled: "So fast?"

"Yes, the imperial court seems to have been prepared for this. It has even begun to secretly contact some high-ranking officials in Guangdong and Guangxi, hoping to take back the military power." Luo Zhongtian also felt strange that the imperial court was so quick.

Guan Ning smiled and thought, how could he not be happy, the old emperor was also involved in this matter.

"What else did he say?"

"He also said that Zhao Tai's diehard followers are still looking for you and are preparing to jointly submit a petition to the court to issue a wanted order and eradicate the Guan family!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lou Xinyue's expression became serious.

Guan Ning narrowed his eyes and asked, "How did they spread the news of Zhao Tai's death?"

Luo Zhongtian said: "Everyone in the Governor's Office knows that Zhao Tai died in pursuit of you. As for how he died, most rumors say he was struck by lightning!"

Guan Ning nodded. It was a good thing that the black powder incident was not exposed.

Even if these ancient people racked their brains, they probably would not have imagined that there was such a thing as gunpowder.

"it is good!"

"I understand, Brother Luo, you go down and rest first." Guan Ning said.

"Yes!" Although Luo Zhongtian is much older than Guan Ning, he obeys his words.

After they left, Lou Xinyue couldn't help but ask, "Zhao Tai's diehard fans want revenge and have jointly petitioned the emperor. Will the old emperor just get rid of them in order to smoothly take over Guangdong and Guangxi?"

Guan Ning nodded: "He must have thought so."

"But certainly not right now, so don't worry about it for now."

"Why?" Lou Xinyue squatted down, her starry eyes flashing with worry. She was worried about Guan Ning and the home in the capital that also belonged to her.

Guan Ning said: "Unless the old emperor is senile and confused, he would not dare to take action at this time."

"I haven't returned to the capital yet. If you piss me off, just tell him the truth and let Zhao Tai's cronies know the truth. Then we'll see how he can take over Guangdong and Guangxi."

"Although I'm away, the Guan family is still in the capital. As long as my family members are still there, the old emperor won't be afraid of me slipping away from his grasp."

"So at least until I go back, he won't be able to change his face."

"At most, it's just to appease the people in Guangdong and Guangxi and openly reprimand me."

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be two teams coming to Guangdong and Guangxi. One is to take over Guangdong and Guangxi and announce personnel and life decisions, and the other is to announce that I should return to Beijing as soon as possible."

After listening to it, Lou Xinyue suddenly understood!

"So, let's not rush now. The first priority is to get rid of that arsenal."

"Now that Zhao Tai is dead, I have to think about my way out." Guan Ning narrowed his eyes. As a second-generation human being, how could he not understand that the truth lies only under the sword.

"Then what are you going to do?" Lou Xinyue asked again.
