Chapter 234 Attacking the Heart
After Rong Que finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Ji quietly.
He is gambling.
Since Zhao Ji could say such words today, he was 90% sure that Zhao Ji would not let him leave.
However, what surprised Rong Que was that he never expected that the first person to speak was not Zhao Ji, but the aide named Xuandu beside Zhao Ji.
Many people looked at Rong Que with shock and admiration.
"Your Highness, from yesterday to today, you and the Crown Princess alone have beaten those more than a thousand bandits so hard that they dare not harass us?"
When he said this, the admiration in his eyes was so bright.
A white-bearded aide beside him shook his head and said, "I never thought that His Highness would be so majestic and heroic. I never thought that the Crown Princess, a woman who was seriously injured, would be so majestic and powerful!
If the queen is in good health, wouldn't you guys be able to wipe out these bandits directly?"
Rong Que: ...
ah?
Is the plot going a bit off track?
Zhao Ji clasped his fists and bowed to Rong Que, "Your Highness, please don't worry. We will never let Your Highness and the Queen leave.
Those people outside were just deceived by the bandits.
Several staff members and I have already discussed countermeasures. Now is not the best time to suppress them. If they explode again, it will be night soon and the northwest wind will be blowing at night. They will not be able to sit still for long.
After they disperse, I will take people to the homes of those teachers, pay them a visit and explain the matter to them.
They are all well-educated and sensible people, they will definitely be able to figure it out.
Even if you don't understand these things, you should know one thing: we may not be able to wait for the imperial court to send troops, but your troops will definitely come, so we still have to rely on you to eliminate the bandits. Even for this, they will endure it. "
Rong Que chuckled, "Lord Zhao is really honest!"
He even dared to say this directly to Rong Que.
Zhao Ji smiled, "I have never treated Your Highness as an outsider!"
It was indeed as Zhao Ji said. Those students who had been making a lot of noise in the afternoon and looked like they would never go back, could not withstand the northwest wind of the winter and dispersed in twos and threes one after another around 11:00 p.m.
Those who persevered to the end also returned before midnight.
They agreed to gather at the academy early tomorrow morning and continue to gather around the county government office.
As soon as they left, Zhao Ji immediately took several aides and went straight to the college professor's home.
Use reason and emotion to persuade them, and if it makes sense, then say it. If it doesn't make sense, just threaten them directly. If you drive the prince out now, aren't you afraid that he will collude with the bandits outside and directly besiege the county government?
The prince, with the strength of three people, can prevent the bandits from attacking for two days.
This is the fact before everyone.
Regardless of whether the prince is a traitor or not, his fighting power is shocking and needs to be acknowledged.
Here Zhao Ji solves the problem of people's hearts.
Over there, Su Qingqing and Rong Que were not idle either.
Their identities were openly recognized, with Zhao Ji setting an example and Zhao Ji's staff doing ideological work, the entire county government was very respectful to these two masters.
Su Qingqing and Rong Que did not have the slightest air of a master. Rong Que even said frankly that he was no longer a prince and everyone should just call him Master Cong as before.
As Su Qingqing requested, the bailiffs brought back several skilled craftsmen from the county town.
"Can any of you make a bow and arrow?"
The county government also had reserve arrow feathers, but Su Qingqing had examined them and found that those arrow feathers had not been used for a long time. They were either damp or rusty, and their lethality was too low.
Even if there were a batch of usable bows, the range of the bows used by the county government was too short.
Su Qingqing placed the drawings she had drawn in front of several masters, "Can you guys do this?
If you can do it, wages are not a problem."
By now, these craftsmen already knew her identity.
Although the craftsmen were not personally lobbied by County Magistrate Zhao, their ideas were very practical.
They didn't care whether the prince was a traitor or not. They only cared about who could help them get through this bandit crisis as soon as possible.
They need a normal life.
Several people looked at the structural diagram calmly, pointed out some unclear parts of the diagram and asked carefully. After discussing for a while, the one with the best craftsmanship said, "Madam, we can make it, but we have never made such a sophisticated weapon before, so it may take some time."
Su Qingqing did not urge them, but just said: "Even if I don't tell you, you all know that this thing is used to deal with the bandits outside.
If it can be made as early as possible, it can be put to use as early as possible.
There are more than a thousand of them in total. I dare not say whether we can attack them now, but if they come to besiege us, as long as I have this bow and more than a thousand arrows, I can guarantee that every arrow will hit its target. "
The meaning is clear.
How long it takes to deal with this wave of bandits depends entirely on you.
Several masters were suddenly under tremendous pressure.
A few people discussed quietly, "We will try our best and make sure it is done as soon as possible."
Su Qingqing smiled and said, "To make this, we need several masters to do it personally, but we also need to make some arrow feathers, at least one thousand, and hope to deliver them together with this bow ."
As she spoke, Su Qingqing placed a silver ingot on the table.
"This is your hard work fee. When the things are delivered, you will definitely receive a thank you fee. When the bandit problem is over, Lord Zhao will compile your crucial role in suppressing the bandits into the local chronicles."
It has been included in the local chronicles. Even though it is not world-famous, it has at least left its name today!
Especially for craftsmen like them.
Being able to leave a name behind, is this something you dare not dream of?
For them, this incentive effect is a hundred times better than money.
This brings honor to the family!
In someone's family tree, this must be mentioned prominently.
After forcing herself to stay awake and finish what she needed to say, Su Qingqing went back to her room and went to sleep without any further delay.
She knows her own body very well. If she doesn't get enough rest , she will definitely be a hindrance if needed in the future.
As soon as she left, several craftsmen were taken to a courtyard in the county government office by yamen runners and started working on it overnight.
On this side, Su Qingqing took the medicine and fell into a deep sleep, but on the other side, Zhao Ji's wife couldn't fall asleep at all.
Zhao Ji told her that the man with the surname Wang who followed the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess was named Wang Yu.
Wang Yu.
She was very familiar with this name.
Her younger brother Xiaobao repeated it thousands of times.
If you were to ask who her brother admires the most in the entire Su family army, it would definitely be General Su.
But under General Su, there are Lieutenant General Wang, Lieutenant General Zhao...these are all the great war gods that Xiaobao admires.
This Wang Yu just has the same name as that Wang Yu, or is he the real Wang Yu?
It would be fine if they had the same name.
But what if it’s me?
That year, General Su died on the battlefield and was convicted of treason by the court. All the capable people under General Su's command were punished by the court on various charges.
If this Wang Yu is the Wang Yu, how did he survive? Why is he staying with the crown prince?
wrong!
To be precise, he was not following the prince.
At that time, Wang Yu directly showed concern for the Crown Princess' health in front of the Crown Prince, and his concern was so obvious...
This person is clearly following the Crown Princess.
Why?
The Crown Princess is a princess of the Zhao Kingdom.
