"Old Master, you can't do this. Even if you want it, you can't not give me any benefits!”
Zhu Zhanyong looked aggrieved on the surface, but he did not feel aggrieved in his heart. He had originally wanted to hand over the manufacturing process of this flintlock to the imperial court.
To him, the flintlock was no longer of much value. He had long exchanged for the blueprint of the firing gun in the system. Moreover, the firing gun was already being urgently developed. It was estimated that it would not be long before the finished product was produced.
Although he had to give it to him, if he didn't get any benefits, it would be a huge loss. At this moment, he was actually just bargaining with the old man.
Zhu Di looked at the aggrieved Zhu Zhanyong and sneered,"
"Don't pretend to be wronged here. Didn't you tell your father that you want all the captives after we take down the northern border? Don't say that I've mistreated you. If you can really take down the northern border, I'll let you do whatever you want with everyone in the northern border!”
Zhu Zhanyong's eyes immediately lit up. He sat up and said in surprise,
"Grandfather, you're not joking! Don't go back on your word!"
Zhu Di snorted,
"I will never go back on my words!”
Zhu Zhanyong stood up and walked out of the tent.
Everyone was stunned. Zhu Di asked curiously,"
"Where are you going?"
Zhu Zhanyong did not even turn his head and said directly,"
"Sleep!"
Zhu Di and everyone in the tent were stunned.
When Zhu Zhanyong's figure disappeared into the tent, Zhu Di came back to his senses and scolded with a smile,"
"This little brat, his personality is really…"
Zhu Gaoxu was baffled by what he heard and asked,"
"Dad, what is the flintlock you were talking about?”
Zhu Di glared at him and reprimanded,
"Does it have anything to do with you? What kind of battle are you two fighting? They fought until now at the mouth of the three gorges. Now, they might as well retreat. My artillery position was exposed because of you. Now that the artillery camp has been destroyed, tell me, how are you going to bear this crime? Now is the time to use people. Zhen will not punish him for the time being. After returning to the capital, we will properly settle this score!”
Zhu Gaoxu was dumbfounded. The destruction of the artillery position had nothing to do with them!
It was clearly the old master who was greedy for merit and advanced rashly. How could he blame them?
Zhu Gaoxi was unhappy. He straightened his neck and was about to retort.
However, just as he was about to speak, Zhu Gaosui pulled him back.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhu Gaosui in confusion, only to see Zhu Gaosui shake his head at him, signaling him not to do anything else.
Zhu Gaoxu suppressed his anger. He believed that there must be a reason why his third brother didn't want him to say it.
They brothers would rise and fall together, so he endured it.
Zhu Di was also a little tired at this moment. This day had been full of ups and downs. He was old and his energy was not as good as before. He yawned slightly and said,
"I'm tired. All of you can leave!"
"Yes, sir!"
After leaving the tent, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui headed towards their own tent.
On the way, Zhu Gaoxu asked the guards beside him to retreat and couldn't help but ask,"
"Third brother, what did you mean just now? We shouldered this blame so unjustly. It was clearly the old master who rushed in. How did it become our problem?”
Zhu Gaosui glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and said helplessly,"
"Then what should we do? To make the old master admit that he was greedy for merit? Or are you going to let the old man admit in front of everyone that the artillery position was destroyed by the enemy because of his mistake? Don't you know the old master's personality?”
Zhu Gaoxu glared and shouted,"
"So what if Old Master doesn't admit it? This matter is obvious, and there are so many pairs of eyes watching. Even if we have to take the blame, who can't? Why should we?”
Zhu Gaosui looked at Zhu Gaoxu as if he was looking at a fool,"
"In the eyes of the old master, isn't your son here to take the blame? Haven't we taken the blame enough all these years? Why can't you understand?"
Zhu Gaoxu was suddenly speechless, and he was very unhappy.
"Old Master, why are you always like this? If this continues, who can stand it!”
Zhu Gaosui looked around and saw that there was no one around, then he whispered into Zhu Gaoxu's ear,"
"Old Master's body doesn't have many days left. In a few more days, I'm afraid you won't be able to carry it even if you want to!”
Zhu Gaoxu's body trembled as he looked at Zhu Gaosui in disbelief. He cried out,"
"Impossible!"
