Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

After all, he had been very careful with his words before.

Even if you beat him to death, he would never say something like that.

She smiled and said, "People always have to go through things to get closer... right? Mr. Ce didn't just open his heart to me all at once..."

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Of course...of course...Mr. Jin, I have my reasons for agreeing to their request..."

"Now that you know why I'm here, I won't hide anything from you anymore. It may seem like they're using me and taking advantage of me... but in reality, I'm using them... I'm binding them to me... In the early stages of Dark Light, a large-scale investment is required."

“There will be no profit in the first three years, and they shouldn’t expect to receive any dividends during these three years. We, on the other hand, can do many things and provide many conveniences by leveraging their respective names. After their families take shares, our high-end development can proceed smoothly.”

"What we need to do next is to deal with the British Empire, and the Crouching Dragon Manor is a starting point. Once we help Boudica take over the British Empire, we can build our own armed forces, and then it will be our turn to redefine the rules."

Xiao Ce then looked at Kimberly and said, "Mr. Kimberly, aren't the merchants at the middle and lower classes of the West quite resentful... After all, the twelve families have practically plundered all the resources... Forget about getting any soup, they're left only to eat shit..."

Kimberly nodded: "That's right, if that's your thinking, then there shouldn't be a problem..."

"Therefore, you need to establish a completely new system..."

Kimberly was very emotional when he said this.

Xiao Ce looked at Kimberly without fear; on the contrary, he was excited.

"Mr. Jin, how come you're not scared at all... instead you're so excited?"

Kimberly laughed and said, "I'm not afraid of you rebelling, I'm afraid of you rebelling incompletely... It's like you rebelling against the British Empire, but in the end you still join the Illuminati... That's what happens when a rebellion isn't thorough enough... and you're still being manipulated."

"But if you're going to turn even the Illuminati against itself... then I'll become interested..."

Kimberly was so excited that he was spitting as he spoke.

At that moment, he seemed like a completely different person.

Previously, he was described as a rational and restrained old man.

At this point, Kimberly is a passionate old man.

"Brother Ce, well, I'm on your boat now. How this boat sails, which way it goes, is all up to you... and I'll just let you row for me..."

Xiao Ce nodded and said with a smile, "Mr. Jin, rest assured, this will definitely be the most correct decision you ever make in your life!"

"You will definitely have a place in Western history from now on..."

Kimberly smiled and nodded repeatedly. If someone else had said this, it would likely have been empty promises.

However, Xiao Ce was definitely not just making empty promises when he said this.

He certainly has that ability.

"By the way, Mr. Ce, now that you've sold 20% of your shares, do you need any other shareholders?" Kimberly asked Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce found Kimberly's way of addressing him quite amusing.

One minute it's Mr. Ce, the next it's changed back to Brother Ce.

Xiao Ce smiled at Kimberly and said, "Mr. Kimberly, you can just call me Brother Ce... Of course, I still need some help... Didn't you decide before? Those who help me make money without charging a penny..."

"I'm not one to let my friends suffer losses... so naturally, I'll be including them in this money-making project..."

Kimberly was even more confused by Xiao Ce's words: "Brother Ce, didn't you just say you weren't making money? How come..."

Xiao Ce said to Kimberly, "That's because it's not profitable for them. We need to make money for our own people..."

Kimberly didn't quite understand what Xiao Ce meant.

Xiao Ce then said to Kimberly, "Mr. Kim, go and call everyone over. Then we'll discuss it together... I'll also share how to make money..."

Kimberly nodded: "Okay, Brother Ce, what about those names on the previous invitation list, those people...?"

Xiao Ce nodded at Kimberly: "Those people are just fine..."

Kimberly nodded and said he would make the arrangements now.

Xiao Ce followed Kimberly's lead and said something about doing it as soon as possible.

Not long after Kimberly left, a shadow guard came looking for him.

The report came that Wolong Manor had been targeted.

However, they didn't investigate very thoroughly; they just glanced outside.

Even the Shadow Guards didn't notice.

After all, the Shadow Guards usually kept to themselves. After some counter-tracking, they discovered that the one who ended up going directly into the Twin Castles.

All of this aligned with Ryan's information.

Xiao Ce said to the shadow guards, "You don't need to do anything. Let them investigate if they want. If they try to hide anything, it will arouse suspicion..."

The shadow guard nodded and said nothing more.

Xiao Ce said to the shadow guards, "By the way, Number One, how's your training going? Is it difficult?"

The shadow guard shook his head: "Sir, these things are not difficult to operate. However, learning to repair those machines might be a bit more challenging. We can already operate them independently!"

"Mastering the operation should take about a week. However, repairing those machines might take some time, as it's quite complex... Sir, we'll learn as quickly as possible..."

Seeing the shadow guard's reaction, Xiao Ce nodded in satisfaction: "Good...you're still quite fast...no rush. Since you're here, I don't need to make the trip again..."

The shadow guard said to Xiao Ce, "My lord, what are your orders?"

Xiao Ce didn't say anything, but simply waved to the shadow guard.

He then signaled to his shadow guards to follow.

In a study, Xiao Ce took out a stack of blueprints from a wooden box.

These are blueprints for AKs, 98Ks, Maxims, and some submachine guns.

These blueprints are not the original sketches drawn by Xiao Ce. Although Xiao Ce was familiar with the structure of each of these firearms before.

However, the exact dimensions are still unclear. These drawings were derived through repeated reasoning and verification by the people in the Tianji Academy.

Unfortunately, the industrial level of the Xiao Kingdom was far too backward...

Therefore, even with the blueprints, it cannot be made.

This gives one the feeling of a beggar sitting on a mountain of gold...

After examining the blueprints, the shadow guard asked Xiao Ce, "Sir, are these blueprints for firearms?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right, these are the most advanced firearms in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. Their performance far surpasses that of current weapons... I also plan to use these things to overthrow this place... So, you should know their value."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, the shadow guard nodded repeatedly, his expression becoming increasingly solemn.

"Sir, then give me this..."

Xiao Ce interrupted the shadow guard: "What's the big deal? These things are definitely for you... You are my trusted confidants. If I can't even trust you, then who can I trust?"

"However, don't go back yet... Go and memorize these blueprints... Also, don't you Shadow Guards have a team?"

The shadow guard nodded.

Xiao Ce continued, "Then let's divide the data equally among the groups, with each group responsible for different data..."

The shadow guard nodded: "Okay, sir, I understand... We'll disassemble these parts... then shuffle them all, and finally have someone else assemble them."

Xiao Ce nodded after listening: "That's fine... Anyway, I have absolute trust in the Shadow Guards... You can do whatever you want... Just make sure these blueprints are only for you to see, and can't be shown to anyone else..."

The shadow guard nodded, then said to Xiao Ce, "Sir, it will take me time to memorize these blueprints perfectly... Could you send someone to Wolong Manor to deliver a message that if I don't return within the agreed time, they will take action?"

Xiao Ce nodded, then gestured for him to take his time looking around; there was no rush.

Then he went to take a look at Da Lei.

Da Lei understood immediately and said, "I'll go..."

Night Owl asked, puzzled, "Sir, what's the difference between this and them taking the blueprints directly?"

Xiao Ce said, "This is our trump card... What we need to do is have what the enemy doesn't... So, we still need to be cautious... The fewer people who come into contact with it, the more confidential it will be..."

Night Owl nodded: "However, once mass production begins, we can't rule out the possibility that they won't know how to make it. Actually, it's not that difficult."

Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right, so we need to seize the initiative... We can't do this until we've taken over the British Empire. Only after Boudica controls the entire British Empire, and we've established an industrial advantage... will we be fearless against them..."

Da Lei left first.

Meanwhile, Yin Pan'er, inside the Twin Castles, also received the news in time.

When she learned that Wolong Manor was a miniature palace, but it was full of Westerners and she didn't see a single East Asian, she expressed her incomprehension.

After Xiaoyue finished speaking with Yin Pan'er, she added, "My lord, Xiao Ce isn't the kind of person who likes to indulge in pleasure... What's the point of him building such a manor? And when our people went to check it out, there wasn't anything special about it."

"The only good thing is that it's really beautifully built... but other than that, there's nothing special about it..."

Yin Pan'er nodded: "Tell me, what is the Mad Taoist's purpose in saying this?"

Xiaoyue shook her head and said, "How about we send a few more people in to sneak in and take a look?"

Yin Pan'er waved her hand with a smile: "Forget it, do you think Xiao Ce wouldn't know if you sent someone in from a place he controls? Xiao Ce's specialty is turning the tables on others..."

Xiaoyue said to Yin Pan'er, "So what should we do now?"

Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "Then let's remain unchanged and wait and see. After the Mad Taoist dies, will a second Mad Taoist come looking for us... or will that person who claims to be Xiao Ce come looking for us..."

Xiaoyue said, "By the way, sir, I investigated those guards you spotted spying on us burying boxes in the back garden. They were indeed bribed..."

"Moreover, I sent people to secretly follow them. They must have told Ryan about this, and Ryan has already told Xiao Ce... Knowing Xiao Ce's personality, he will definitely be curious and send someone over... Should we set a trap?"

"Given Xiao Ce's personality, he'll definitely assign trusted confidants, most likely Night Cat and Da Lei... If we capture them, we can very likely use them to blackmail him..."

Yin Pan'er shook her head and said, "Of course not! I'm not going there to catch them..."

Xiaoyue asked Yin Pan'er in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"I was merely testing them, to see if they knew anything about the Madman's death..."

Xiaoyue was even more puzzled: "How can we tell from this?"

Yin Pan'er said, "If it really was them, they should have guessed what I buried, so naturally they wouldn't have come... But if they were curious, they would definitely have sneaked in to check..."

Xiaoyue asked, "After you noticed the guards were watching us, didn't you move those things to another location?"

Yin Pan'er nodded: "Yes, so let's see if they come over! However, I don't think Xiao Ce knows about this..."

Xiaoyue nodded: "I think so too... Xiao Ce is powerful, but he couldn't defeat the Mad Taoist... or rather, no normal person could defeat the Mad Taoist..."

Xiaoyue asked curiously, "Sir, does that mean we don't need to set up a trap?"

Yin Pan'er said, "Of course, but knowing Xiao Ce's personality, they wouldn't dare to come over... He'll definitely come back after a while..."

Xiaoyue nodded as she listened, then looked at Yin Pan'er with a complicated expression.

Yin Pan'er asked Xiaoyue, "Xiaoyue, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xiaoyue said to Yin Pan'er, "My lord, you know each other so well, and now that the Mad Daoist is not here... why don't you go find Xiao Ce... you can communicate your plans with each other... wouldn't that be better? Anyway, it's a secret, and since the Mad Daoist is dead, no one will know."

Yin Pan'er shook her head thoughtfully, then said very firmly, "No! At least not right now!"
