The prince is very cruel

Guan Ning frowned: "Just wait and see what happens."

"The old emperor is already in a state of panic, plagued by internal and external troubles. In a few days, when arrangements are made in Shu, we will move our family there and take Yuan Xiang with us."

"Let the outside world be in chaos and we'll just close the door and live our own lives."

Lou Xinyue smiled bitterly: "If that day really comes, can you stay out of it?"

Guan Ning was silent.

I wanted to say yes, but then I felt it was too idealistic.

"At least it's better than staying in the capital. With 10% of the 30,000 dragon riders and black gunpowder, I am confident that I can eliminate all threats!" Guan Ning said in a resounding voice.

He was very clear about the average level of ancient armies and their armed forces, so he dared to say this.

"Okay, you know what I'm talking about, so I won't say any more."

"I just want my family to be safe and sound." Lou Xinyue opened her red lips and leaned subconsciously on Guan Ning's shoulder.

Guan Ning hugged her, caressed her gently, and enjoyed this moment of tranquility.

Time passed by minute by minute, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Guan Ning looked at the sky outside. It was already very late. He was a little disappointed. After all, the plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums of spring, summer, autumn and winter did not come to see him.

Then he had no choice but to take action, even if it would cause dissatisfaction among the old emperor.

But he can't be tricked twice in the same position.

Feeling Guan Ning stand up, Lou Xinyue roughly knew what he was going to do.

A vague murderous aura emerged from Guan Ning's body, but at this moment, at the critical moment, suddenly.

"Report!!"

Shengqi rushed in.

"Sir, the eight of them want to see you."

The murderous aura that had just emerged in Guan Ning's heart sank in an instant.

Lou Xinyue whispered softly: "I thought there would be blood at home."

Guan Ning said calmly: "Let them come over."

"Yes!"

Shengqi left immediately, and soon, spring, summer, autumn, winter, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum came.

"Your servants pay their respects to the Crown Prince!" The eight people knelt down.

Guan Ning raised an eyebrow: "Have you thought it through?"

The eight people looked at each other, their eyes full of determination and helplessness. They had no choice. Besides, they had been in Guan Mansion for so long, and they knew what Guan Mansion was like better than anyone else.

The servants here live with dignity and hope. There is no master in the entire Central Plains who can compare to them.

"Prince, please understand our previous difficulties."

"From now on, we are willing to follow the prince!" Chun'er spoke first, and the remaining seven people spoke together, lowering their heads: "We are willing to follow the prince."

Guan Ning nodded: "Very good."

"I like smart women."

"But words are not enough, and I don't need a fence-sitter. Just take these poison pills yourself."

"I will release you after you have done meritorious service in your crime. It can be regarded as a punishment for you betraying me this time." As he said that, Guan Ning threw out a small bottle.

Lou Xinyue took a look and felt amused. Others didn't know what it was, but she knew it very well. In fact, it was not a poison, but just some ordinary pills.

I have to say, Guan Ning’s acting was really convincing.

Spring, summer, autumn, winter, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum all had ugly faces, which made me feel sorry for them, but I still picked them up and swallowed them one by one in front of them.

Seeing this, Guan Ning nodded and was no longer so aggressive.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Prince!" The eight people stood up.

"The emperor asked you to monitor me, right?" Guan Ning asked.

The eight girls looked at each other, and Chun'er said awkwardly, "My Lord, yes."

"His Majesty has asked us to monitor you to see if you are as frail as you appear, and to see if you have any secrets."

"A few days ago, Eunuch Lu also instructed us to keep a close eye on whether you have any drawings of the Zhuge Crossbow that have not been submitted."

"Also, Your Majesty, I want to know if you are investigating the Guan family's past."

Upon hearing this, Lou Xinyue and the others' expressions darkened.

Guan Ning sneered: "As expected, as expected!"

"I suddenly understand why the old emperor wanted to kill me that day. It's not just that he wants to get rid of me, but he also wants me to avenge the Guan family!"

"Old thing!" He gritted his teeth, his knuckles clenched until they turned white and made a crackling sound.

The eight women were all silent, feeling a terrifying murderous intent.

But Guan Ning had a strong ability to adjust himself, and he quickly suppressed his emotions, not letting his anger overwhelm his rationality.

The old emperor still has value now!

"From today on, you will report my situation to the palace as usual, but every time Eunuch Green calls on you, you must inform me immediately."

"I won't treat you unfairly. I said I won't care about the past, and I won't care. You are still my people, Guan Ning!" Guan Ning said decisively.

"Yes!" The eight people were convinced. It was a helpless act, but it was also what they wanted in their hearts.

"..."

After returning, Guan Ning spent several days in peace.

After the eight women surrendered, the last few nails within the Guan Mansion were removed. Without any spies, Guan Ning could do things more freely.

The people of Quicksand began to secretly collect large amounts of saltpeter, carbon, and sulfur.

One day, he went to the palace to visit Yuan Xiang and was strolling in the imperial garden when suddenly, a large group of eunuchs came forward, blocked his way, and surrounded him abruptly.

"Who are you?" Guan Ning frowned. At first glance, they all looked unfamiliar and did not seem to be from Eunuch Lu's side.

"Are you Guan Ning?" a fat eunuch asked in a shrill voice, looking arrogant, as if he was superior to others.

"So what?" Guan Ning raised his eyebrows.

"That's fine, come with us!" The fat eunuch grabbed with one hand, very directly and roughly.

"How dare you!" Yuan Xiang shouted angrily. She had not changed her willful and capricious nature, but she treated Guan Ning differently. When she saw someone being rough with Guan Ning, she would slap him in the face.

Snapped!

The obese eunuch was stunned by the blow and took several steps back. Then he became furious and shouted angrily: "Little girl, how dare you hit me!"

"Get it for me!"

"Yes!"

The eunuchs rushed forward.

"Hmph!" Guan Ning snorted coldly. Seeing so many people attacking Yuan Xiang, he naturally couldn't do nothing. He pulled Yuan Xiang behind him and gave him a flying kick.

Bang bang bang!

Boom!

Several eunuchs were kicked away, fell to the ground with a thud, and rolled around wailing.

"Ah!" The eunuchs exclaimed and did not dare to step forward for a moment.

The fat eunuch's facial features were distorted, and he shouted angrily, "Well, well, well, you, Guan Ning, you actually dared to act violently here. I think you are lawless!"

"Go together!"

"You're looking for death!" Guan Ning's eyes darkened. Even if the other party was looking for trouble, he was not afraid of it.

call! !

He turned into a shadow, like a tiger descending the mountain, and rushed into the flock of sheep.

boom!

Click!

puff……

"Ah!" The screams at the scene were like pigs being slaughtered. The eunuchs flew out one after another. It was a horrible sight. They had no power to fight back at all.

"well played!"

"Hit him!"

"Hit him!" Yuan Xiang clenched his fists, his face flushed, and cheered for Guan Ning.

After just a few encounters, twenty eunuchs fell to the ground in a disorderly manner.
