Chapter 137 Firearms, Father and Son Turn Against Each Other
At this moment, Yang Xueer felt her head spinning.
At this moment, the old man walked out of the secret room step by step, followed closely by a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was burly and wore black armor. He exuded a cold aura that chilled people to the bone.
When Yang Chen saw the person who had arrived, he frowned slightly. This person was none other than the Third Prince who had competed with Emperor Liang for the throne more than 20 years ago!
There were rumors years ago that the third prince had died young, but no one expected him to reappear here.
The old man glanced at Yang Xue'er and Yang Chen in front of him, a faint smile on his lips.
"Now that we're all on the same side, you should understand that Yang Ling, the Ninth Prince, will be our key asset from now on!"
……
At this moment, the imperial city is filled with imperial guards, all with one goal: to find the Ninth Prince Yang Ling as soon as possible amidst the chaos.
The relationship between the imperial court and Yang Ling has now broken down, and this King of Liangzhou, who can also be called the King of Qin, has no way out.
"Your Highness, this is a critical time. Why don't we leave the city tonight?"
At this moment, Yang Ling only had Chang Qing by his side, and because they had run away in a hurry, they didn't have much money on them.
Yang Ling sat alone in the corner, her face showing a hint of loneliness and melancholy.
He looked up at Changqing and gave a self-deprecating smile.
"Don't you think I, the Ninth Prince, am a bit pathetic? Things have come to this, and I can only end up in such a sorry state!"
As soon as he said this, Changqing threw the food in his hand on the ground, his face showing a righteous and indignant expression.
"Your Highness, what are you saying? The struggle for the crown prince has always been like this. Now that Emperor Liang has obtained the bargaining chip you hold, he will naturally make his move against you. Don't you still have Liangzhou? Today, break through the encirclement with me, and we will return to the capital in the future!"
Changqing had a serious expression on his face, as if he were the one who had been arrested.
Yang Ling frowned slightly as she looked at Chang Qing, who was so agitated. No matter what, none of this was an undeserved disaster for her.
Right now, the only person in the entire court who can pose a threat to Crown Prince Yang Shan's position is naturally him.
Now that Emperor Liang had acquired firearms and cannons, he naturally wanted to deal with his ninth son.
But no matter what, he would not swallow his anger.
Just as Changqing said, isn't Liangzhou his greatest asset?
As long as we run back to Liangzhou now, it's not too late!
Thinking of this, Yang Ling's eyes suddenly sharpened, and she instantly became serious.
"Changqing, let's go!"
Upon hearing this, Changqing immediately laughed, turned around, picked up a pot of wine from the table, and ran outside with Yang Ling.
Just as the two of them left the place, a figure appeared in front of Yang Ling.
The man was dressed in black, wore a mask, and held a long sword in his hand.
Upon seeing this person, Yang Ling frowned slightly, and Chang Qing immediately became alert as well.
"Who is your Excellency?"
Yang Ling looked at the man in black with great caution. Whoever appeared in front of him now posed a great threat to him.
Upon hearing Yang Ling's words, the man in black sneered and then threw the bundle behind him in front of Yang Ling.
"Your Highness now has no choice but to flee. I am here on my master's orders to see Your Highness off on your final journey and can guarantee your safe exit from the capital!"
Upon hearing this, Changqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could escape from here successfully, he wouldn't have to worry about anything else.
Yang Ling glanced at the man in black, then at the bundle thrown on the ground, feeling somewhat apprehensive.
"How can I be sure whether what you're saying is true!"
The man in black sneered upon hearing this.
"Does Your Highness mean to abandon Liangzhou and then be hunted down to death by the imperial court?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Ling's eyes suddenly turned sinister.
"What do you mean?"
The man in black chuckled and pulled a signal flare from his pocket.
"I only have one question for Your Highness: if Your Highness gains power in the future, will you still honor your previous promise?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Ling's expression changed slightly. He now knew who the master of the person in front of him was.
"I have never changed my word. As long as I can get out of here, I will repay you a hundredfold in the future!"
Upon hearing Yang Ling's reply, the man in black threw the signal flare to him.
"Your Highness may leave now; I must return to report!"
After saying this, the man in black turned and left.
Seeing this, Yang Ling smiled slightly, picked up the bundle on the ground, and walked towards the city gate.
Changqing followed closely behind, his eyes showing a degree of shock.
He only knew that the only person in the court who firmly supported Yang Ling was Prince Yang Yi of Chu, but the person who appeared in front of him now was clearly not Prince Yang Yi's man.
But there's no time to think about it carefully now; getting the two of them out of here is the most important thing.
Yang Ling looked at the bundle and signal flare in his hand, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He never expected things to turn out so tragically.
"Let's go. As long as I reach Liangzhou alive, I will get back what I lost today a hundredfold!"
……
At this moment, in the palace, Emperor Liang looked at the muskets and cannons parked in the courtyard, and he could hardly contain his smile.
"Summon all the best craftsmen in the country and have them replicate these works for me!"
He had already witnessed the power of this thing, and as long as he had a large number of muskets and cannons, he naturally had nothing to worry about.
If we were to unify the four seas, wouldn't that be an easy thing to achieve?
Zheng Yue bowed slightly; these things were naturally stolen from Yang Ling.
"Your Majesty, we still haven't found the Ninth Prince. Should we issue a nationwide warrant for his arrest?"
"What is there to hesitate about? For the sake of the stability of my Great Liang Dynasty, even if he is a prince, he must be brought back to me!"
Emperor Liang's face was contorted with rage. He naturally had to remain vigilant until he saw Yang Ling.
After all, those firearms and cannons were truly amazing. If they could be successfully developed, unifying the world would be a piece of cake.
Seeing Emperor Liang's excitement, Zheng Yue sneered. The emperor was probably completely seduced by that thing.
However, this is also good. As long as Emperor Liang has a goal in mind, it will save me a lot of trouble.
"Your Majesty can rest assured. The Ninth Prince is currently imprisoned, and escaping the capital will not be such a simple matter!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Liang smiled with satisfaction.
