Chapter 343 What does it have to do with me?
**An naturally knew this, and asked, "Old Ma, how far do you think the King of Huainan's cannon can reach?"
Lao Ma thought about it seriously: "Less than 200 meters, the effective range should be more than 100 meters."
"That's it?" Chen Changan laughed. "I received a report yesterday about the cannon I asked the Westerners to develop. Its range is now up to 400 meters. It can hit whatever you point it at within a range of 200 meters."
"Giving him the arrow-carrying cannons will not only consume his huge national strength, but also make it so that he can't hit me on the battlefield, but I can hit him!"
"Just think about it, what kind of scene would that be?"
Old Ma was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
He gave Chen Changan a thumbs up and said, "Master, you are really smart! I can't wait for the battle to start so that I can see Chi Shi's face in person, hahahaha!"
Chen Changan signaled Lao Ma to keep quiet. This was a big secret and could not be leaked.
Old Ma naturally understood, and rubbed his hands excitedly: "Master, it's getting late. Should we go to Prince Jing'an or to Goguryeo?"
"Goguryeo is not on the right track, so I won't go."
Lao Ma nodded in agreement, and the two men rode their horses towards Prince Jing'an's Palace.
Chen Changan rode a Ferghana horse to Prince Jing'an's mansion. It was still the vermilion gate. Prince Jing'an and his son Wang Chaoyang were already waiting at the door.
Seeing Chen Changan dismount, Wang Chaoyang suddenly chuckled: "Is this the heavenly horse of Xixia? Lord Chen, following foreign envoys, it seems that he has been corrupt?"
"So what if it's corruption? Do you want to give some to the young prince?" Chen Changan laughed.
Prince Jing'an shook his head and chuckled: "No matter what Lord Chen got, it was Lord Chen's own ability. We dare not take it."
"Master Chen, you haven't come here for a long time since we last met."
Chen Changan clasped his fists towards Prince Jing'an and said, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood me."
"Last time you asked me to command the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, I performed very well at the old lady's wedding banquet, but then I was captured by the Red Flower Society, and then I set foot on the battlefield to wipe out the Red Flower."
"After I came back, the people in Huainan Palace caused me trouble and I was so busy that I had no time to visit the prince."
Chen Changan tapped his forehead and said, "As soon as I learned that I was appointed as the General of Staff, I came to report to the prince."
Chen Changan was telling the truth, and King Jing'an did not pursue the matter: "Master Chen, you came at a very good time. There just happened to be three guests at the palace."
"I hope you can give me some face and not confront them face to face."
Chen Changan raised his eyebrows and smiled, then followed Prince Jing'an into the palace.
Today, the palace is heavily guarded inside and outside, and there are no extra people waiting. I followed Prince Jing'an to the hall.
There were three people sitting there.
In the middle, sitting was an old woman in a black robe. She was Chu Yanran, who hated Chen Changan so much that his teeth were itching.
On the left and right are Chen Fusheng and Lin Yayun.
Seeing Chen Changan, Chu Yanran immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the distinguished guest you are talking about is Chen Hanzi?"
"Humph, Hanzi and I have a deep hatred, I don't want to see him!"
"You sound like I want to see you, but who do you think you are?"
Seeing that Chu Yanran was also angry, Chen Changan said disdainfully: "Your Majesty, I have no appetite when I see Chu Yanran. Shall I take my leave now?"
"It's like I feel hungry just by looking at you!"
Chu Yanran yelled and slammed the table.
"Master Chen! Princess Chen!"
Prince Jing'an's face changed: "Princess Chen has a request for me, and Lord Chen is my man. Don't you think any of you will give me face?"
"If that's the case, how can I save my dignity?"
Chen Changan and Chu Yanran stopped talking and turned their heads away, ignoring each other.
At the invitation of Prince Jing'an, Chen Chang'an had no choice but to sit down.
Lin Yayun's beautiful eyes flickered. Because she had reached a deal with Chen Changan, she said softly, "From my husband's perspective, I should call you Ninth Brother."
"Brother Jiu, don't be angry. This glass of wine is a toast to you."
Lin Yayun giggled as she held the wine glass in her slender hands.
Seeing Chen Fusheng's ugly face, Chen Changan showed a wolf-like light: "Feed me."
Chen Changan opened his mouth.
Chu Yanran couldn't stand this, and her chest rose and fell with anger: "Prince Jing'an, did you see that?"
"Chen Changan is shameless and seduces his brother's wife!"
"I wish I could kill him!"
"Chu Yanran, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Chen Changan was puzzled: "You and I have long severed our mother-son relationship, and Chen Fusheng and I are naturally not brothers. Lin Yayun is so beautiful, of course she is a graceful lady, and a gentleman would love to marry her."
"Ms. Lin, as long as you divorce Chen Fusheng, I will give you all my property. How about that?"
If Chu Yanran and Chen Fusheng had not been present, given Lin Yayun's personality, she might have agreed.
But now, Lin Yayun didn't dare: "Brother Jiu is really good at joking."
"You wanted to use me to make my mother angry. Chen Fusheng was angry, but he might have made a wrong calculation."
"I am just a weakling, not worthy of your attention."
Lin Yayun ignored Chen Changan's teasing and drank a glass of wine.
Chen Changan wanted to say more, but Prince Jing'an patted the table lightly and said, "Okay, Lord Chen, give me some face."
This was the third time that Prince Jing'an had mentioned the issue of face, and Chen Chang'an also knew that three times would not do the trick.
Prince Jing'an ordered his servants to serve the food, but neither side was particularly happy with the meal.
Prince Jing'an put down his wine glass and said, "Princess Chen, I already know your intention. When the Chu family speaks to the emperor, do you want me to agree with them?"
"Is it true that Chen Fusheng was allowed to take over the military power of the King of Huainan?"
Chu Yanran immediately gritted her teeth and glanced at Chen Changan.
Your Majesty, how can you say such words in front of Chen Changan? He is the biggest competitor for military power!
Prince Jing'an saw Chu Yanran's confusion and said, "It doesn't matter. I've already said that Lord Chen is one of us."
Chu Yanran took a deep breath and nodded: "Yes!"
"I might as well tell His Majesty that the Huainan Palace is now torn apart because of a certain dog."
"I gave Sheng'er the military power as a way out for him."
Princess Chen said to Prince Jing'an seriously, "As long as Your Majesty is willing to help, Chu Yanran will owe Your Majesty a favor. No matter what Your Majesty asks in the future, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"
Prince Jing'an played with his wine glass: "I don't think it's appropriate."
"Chen Zhan is in his prime, how can you write a letter to the emperor to accept his resignation?"
"Chen Zhan?"
Chu Yanran just sneered: "What's wrong with being in the prime of life? He will die anyway."
Ouch!
This woman is so vicious!
Needless to say, Chu Yanran has made complete arrangements and wants to... kill Chen Zhan!
For the sake of a son, she actually wanted to kill her husband?
So cruel!
Prince Jing'an was also a little wary of this vicious woman, and he remained silent for a moment.
"Master Chen, what do you think?"
Chu Yanran raised her eyebrows and looked at Chen Changan coldly.
What else could Chen Hanzi say? Of course he disagreed with her opinion. He deserved to die and be killed!
"What does the Huainan Palace have to do with me?"
Chen Changan said calmly, holding a glass of wine.
