After leaving Suotuo City.
Golden Crown and his party did not return to Wuhun City.
Instead, they chose to head to Heaven Dou City.
Because a few days ago, he had received a letter from Qian Renxue.
The letter said.
The Old Emperor was starting to stir up trouble again.
A month ago, someone in the court suggested to the Old Emperor.
That weapons with such destructive power as firearms, along with their technology, must be controlled by the Imperial Family.
Allowing an external force to control them—wasn't that far too dangerous?
Moreover, the profits from arms were so immense; if they obtained the technology, this business could be controlled by the Imperial Family in the future, and wouldn't they earn even more money then?
Hearing this.
Xue Ye's suspicion, greed, and other desires.
Immediately rose up in rebellion.
Consequently, in private, he mobilized a group of personal guards who only took orders from the Emperor himself, and intercepted a convoy transporting arms to the Heaven Dou Auction House on a mandatory route.
In order to leave no evidence behind.
Xue Ye ordered his people to kill everyone in the transport convoy afterward.
After the deed was done.
He began ordering people to recruit blacksmiths from all over.
Wanting to dismantle the firearms to acquire the technology.
Regarding technical issues, Golden Crown was not worried at all.
Because currently, the most advanced firearms and cannon technology were all in his hands.
Even if the Heaven Dou Imperial Family really could obtain arms technology, it would be extremely backward technology.
Add to that the fact that the atmosphere of corruption within the Imperial Family was even more severe.
Even if they wanted to develop the technology later.
It would be almost impossible.
The main point was.
This old guy actually sent people to snatch his arms.
And he fucking killed people, killed my people!
Fine, fine, fine.
Robbing someone of their wealth is like killing their parents.
Since the Old Emperor is so shameless, then don't blame me for being impolite... Meanwhile.
Heaven Dou City.
Inside the Imperial Palace.
In the imperial court.
After Xue Ye finished listening to an official.
He glanced at his eldest son, Xue Qinghe: "Qinghe."
"Your son is here."
Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, quickly stepped forward with her hands clasped in salute.
"I wonder what matter Father has called your son for?"
Xue Ye did not speak.
Instead, he quietly looked at this eldest son of his.
After a long time.
He said: "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask you, have you had any contact with that Xing Daorong recently?"
After sending people to intercept that batch of arms last time.
Although he was very happy, immediately following that was fear.
As for what he was afraid of.
That was naturally Xing Daorong's grandfather, that Limit Douluo whose level had reached the peak of perfection.
Xing Tian!
He was afraid that if the other party found out.
That it was he who ordered the interception of the arms and the killing of the transport team.
Then it would be all over.
After all, in these past few years, he had also learned of the terror of a Limit Douluo through some channels.
Once they got angry, they were existences that could directly destroy a city.
Although the Tiandou Empire had an army of a million.
It was not difficult for a Limit Douluo to take a general's head from among a million troops.
If the other party got angry over this matter and came looking for trouble with him.
What should be done then?
Although he had ordered the army to kill the transporters along with them.
And afterward even assassinated the official who proposed the plan.
Leaving no evidence whatsoever.
He still didn't feel at ease in his heart.
Coincidentally, Xue Qinghe's relationship with that Xing Daorong was extremely good.
In these years, Xue Qinghe frequently went to the Xing Family as a guest.
So he took the opportunity today to ask this eldest son.
