The system forced me to be emperor

Time passed to the end of Shenshi, and there was someone outside the door asking to see him again.

He was a farmer, and when he knocked on the back door of the Champion's Mansion, he looked terrified. If the person who paid him to deliver the letter said that nothing would happen, and he was greedy for money, he would never have dared to knock on the door to disturb him.

The door officer opened the door and got the letter from the farmer, but the farmer did not leave, but said: "The person who asked me to deliver the letter said that there is something for me to take back."

The door officer asked him to wait a while, and then quickly handed the letter to Zhuge Yuanba.

Open the letter and it says:

"You two worked hard yesterday. One went to the Lotus Temple and the other to the palace. I must have got all the things I want. Then, I will give the things to the farmer. After I get the things, I will release Miss Zhuge immediately!"

After Xiao Rui looked at it, he shook his head and smiled: "This guy is completely dishonest. If you give him something, what if he cheats? I think it's better to give the key to the farmer first, and write a letter to tell the people behind the scenes. If you want an iron box, you must give it to someone and deliver it. In addition, you can send experts to track the farmer first to see if you can track down the suspect."

"Okay." Zhuge Yuanba nodded, he was also afraid that Zhuge Liuying's safety could not be guaranteed if the things were handed over.

Xiao Rui looked at Jia Xu and Guo Jia, and they both agreed.

It just so happened that Xiao Rui recruited a master of lightness kung fu, Lu Xian. When he first arrived in the capital, almost no one knew that he belonged to Xiao Rui, and he was very good at lightness kung fu, so it was perfect for him to follow him secretly.

Just like that, Xiao Rui repaired a letter and handed it along with the key to the farmer. After he left, Lu Xian climbed over the wall and began to follow him.

At this moment, Guo Jia asked a question: "Your Highness, everyone, what is the purpose of the kidnapper asking for the iron box and the key? If the key can open the iron box, why is the kidnapper not afraid that we will open the iron box and see what's inside?" What? If there is a big secret hidden in it, wouldn’t it be leaked? Unless, he is not afraid of us looking, and he doesn’t want the contents of the tin box, but the tin box and the key!”

Xiao Rui nodded in agreement. He took a good look at the tin box left by his mother. He didn't think about the contents, but only looked at the appearance of the tin box. There was nothing strange about it. Eighty-nine catties, with unknown animal inscriptions engraved on the surface, apart from these, there is nothing special about it.

There is no problem with the box itself. Is there any value assigned to the box?

The box the kidnappers are looking for belongs to Night King Xiao Heding, is it related to Xiao Heding?

"Uncle Yuanba, are you familiar with Night King Xiao Heding?" Xiao Rui asked.

Zhuge Yuanba was startled, then nodded, and said: "I was lucky enough to meet him when I was young, but your mother knew him very well, because your mother's cousin married him, and when he rebelled against him, it is said that Daqi State was among them." instructions and assistance."

Xiao Rui didn't make a challenge. Although Zhuge Yuanba didn't say it clearly, it seems that the rebellion was not only induced by His Majesty's letter, but also secretly ordered and assisted by Da Qi State, which gave him the courage to raise troops to usurp the throne.

Sure enough, his father and Xiao Heding concealed a lot of things about his mother.

When night fell, Lu Xian came back.

He looked ashamed and said: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I followed the farmer to a market, he gave the key and the letter to a businessman, the businessman took the things to Tingfeng River, and suddenly went away by boat, I quickly hired a boat to chase him Unexpectedly, halfway through, it seemed to be noticed by the other party, four identical boats mixed together, suddenly separated at a river mouth, and rowed in four different directions, I could only follow one boat, and finally found that the boat was not a merchant."

Xiao Rui nodded, and said: "The enemy is cunning, and it was already planned that someone would follow him, and deliberately set up suspicious positions. You are not to blame for this matter."

"Then wait for the other party's reply to see if he is willing to deliver the goods and teach others!" Zhuge Yuanba sighed, and then smiled at Xiao Rui: "You go back first, you have to go to the morning court tomorrow, I guess The other party will not respond tonight."

Xiao Rui looked at the time and said, "If there is any situation, please notify me immediately."

On the way back to Prince Xian's Mansion, Xiao Rui, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia took the same carriage.

Jia Xu thought about it and said, "Your Highness, I still think it's strange to kidnap Miss Zhuge. The other party's purpose is really just for the iron box and the key?"

Guo Jia also said: "Yes, I also think there is a problem, but unfortunately, there is no evidence."

Both of them are prudent and resourceful, if they feel that there is a problem at the same time, they have to be cautious.

Xiao Rui said: "Since there is a problem, we must be vigilant and be careful in everything."

This made Xiao Rui think of the task of the system: to survive this crisis.

The task did not directly point out that the host should survive this crisis, so the kidnapping of Liuying this time meant Zhuge Liuying?

With a sigh, Xiao Rui knew that the system was insidious, so he hugged the pipa deliberately to half-hid his face.

In the early morning of the next day, after Xiao Rui attended the morning court, he immediately rushed to the Champion's Mansion. At this time, Zhuge Yuanba had already received the reply.

Xiao Rui couldn't wait to receive the reply and began to browse.

Chapter 263: Captain Xia!

When I opened the reply letter sent by the kidnapper, I saw that it read:

"The key is real. It seems that you are very sincere. Since you are afraid that I will go back on my word, well, then I will deliver the goods with one hand. I know that Commander Zhuge is very skilled in martial arts. For the safety of our transactions, we need to treat him with respect. His Royal Highness King Xian is here to complete the transaction."

"I think you agree, because the time is limited. After the agreed time, I will chop off Zhuge Liuying's hand. If His Highness King Xian disregards Miss Zhuge's life for his own safety, but this transaction will directly Canceled. Now is the time to test His Highness King Xian!"

"His Royal Highness, King Xian, please go to Limin Street, Dongcheng District, and stand under his signboard at a Wangjiafen Hotel at [-]:[-] am, and someone will tell you what to do next. Please be honest, Your Highness King Xian, Come here in person. Of course, how can you be in a dangerous situation with the body of the king of Xian, I will allow you to bring a guard to protect your safety. I heard that His Highness and Zhuge Liuying are stronger than gold, and now is the time for the test! "

……

Xiao Rui handed the letter to Guo Jia and Jia Xu, let them read it, and then counted the time, there is still a long time before Chenshi, there is still time to plan, and arrive at Limin Street on time.

"You can't go!" Zhuge Yuanba said in a deep voice: "You are a prince, how can you stand in a dangerous place and stand under a dangerous wall? Liuying's accident has already made me blame myself. If you have another accident, I will die Apologizing will not help, and I am even more ashamed of His Majesty. Therefore, I will not allow you to go!"

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Didn't it say in the letter? I can bring a guard there. Yuan Fang is a martial artist at the peak of the fifth rank. With him protecting me, there should be no problem in terms of safety."

Jia Xu and Guo Jia also finished reading the letter, and Jia Xu also nodded and refused, saying: "Your Highness can't go! This is obviously a trap to lure His Highness to go. As for asking His Highness to bring a guard, it is nothing more than to spread suspicion and let His Highness Relax and slack off."

Guo Jiadao: "That's right, the enemy's target included Your Highness from the very beginning. First of all, it is unlikely that the kidnappers ambushed the eyeliner in the Champion's Mansion, but he knew that Commander Zhuge had informed His Highness, or there was an internal response in the Prince Xian's Mansion. Or he had already calculated that Commander Zhuge would notify His Highness, and this was also his purpose. In addition, even if he was afraid of Commander Zhuge's ability and dared not see him, then His Highness didn't have to go in person. He also said that he wanted to test the relationship between His Highness and Miss Zhuge, and asked His Highness to bring guards, he did it on purpose, trying to cover up his real purpose, but he didn't expect that he let His Highness bring guards to protect him, which exposed his intention instead!"

After Zhuge Yuanba heard this, he immediately said forcefully: "If that's the case, I can't put His Highness in danger."

Xiao Rui nodded, then asked Li Yuanfang, "Yuanfang, what do you think?"

"If there are only four or five kidnappers, and only one fifth-rank master, I can let His Highness leave safely, but if the number of masters exceeds this number, it will not work." Li Yuanfang explained.

Xiao Rui asked again: "Then how to use black powder?"

"Black gunpowder?" Li Yuanfang was taken aback suddenly, and said with a smile on his face, "How could I have forgotten this matter, the enemy has never seen its power, and they don't know what it is. It will also be a huge loss.”

Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other, and they also forgot about the black powder.

only…

"Even if there is black powder, it's hard to guarantee that the enemy is as good as a cloud, and it's too dangerous to be in a dangerous place." Jia Xu quickly said that he should be wise and protect himself. He didn't agree with Xiao Rui's going, which was exposing himself to danger. How can you easily take risks if you want to achieve great things in the future?

Unlike Jia Xu, Guo Jia put forward a different point of view: "The power of black powder is astonishing, and it can turn the world around, and the enemy is clearly going to deal with His Highness, using Miss Zhuge to force His Highness to take risks. If they don't go, I'm worried about them I will really do something. So although it is a bit dangerous, I can try it.”

Jia Xu is wise to protect himself and protect himself first, but Guo Jia makes a decision after gaining or losing his thoughts. After all, Xiao Rui's path is full of thorns, and it is impossible to avoid any danger. The enemy will use countless evil Moves, forcing you to submit to face the danger.Dodge this time, but can't dodge countless times.

Xiao Rui said to Jia Xu: "Sir, since I was assassinated by Cao Lu and the Cao family, my father ordered Dongchang to investigate the masters who entered the capital. We judged that the enemy came from other places, so it is impossible for them to come too much." People. More importantly, they have never seen black powder, they don’t know what it is, and they don’t think it will have such terrible power, so are you still worried?”

Jia Xu sighed, knowing that Xiao Rui had made up his mind, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you can go, but Your Highness must be prepared."

"Well, what is black powder?" Zhuge Yuanba couldn't help asking, his head was full of doubts, as if he was listening to a scripture, but it sounded very powerful. Could it be the secret weapon developed by King Xian?

Xiao Rui glanced at him, don't think that if you sell my niece to me, I will tell you, this is my secret weapon!You can keep it hidden for as long as you can. This is a trump card. If everyone in the world knows it, it will not be able to achieve the effect of surprise.

"Yuan Fang, go back to the palace immediately and prepare." Xiao Rui ordered.
