Joy of Life: Rebirth of the Second Prince, Inviting Emperor Qing to Die

Chapter 290 The Lock That Cannot Be Opened
Fan Xian slowly pulled out the box from under the bed and placed it on the table.

Then, he took out the key he had just obtained and began to feel inexplicably excited.

Uncle Wuzhu had said before that the box left by his mother contained a very powerful weapon.

Even he himself could not easily survive the attack of weapons.

Although Wuzhu's words were a bit exaggerated,

But Fan Xian still felt that the weapons in this box must be extraordinary.

I hope I can give him a surprise!

After pondering for a moment, Fan Xian picked up the key, inserted it into the keyhole, and gently turned it.

Immediately afterwards, Fan Xian frowned and his expression changed drastically.

"how come……"

Fan Xian thought he didn't have enough strength just now, so he pushed it harder.

As a result, the keyhole on the entire box was intact.

Can't open!

He had the key, but he couldn't open the lock on the box.

How is this going?

Could it be that the key he got was fake?

Fan Xian didn't believe it, so he tried it a few more times.

Then, without exception.

"How could this be?"

Fan Xian sat heavily on the stool, looking at the key in front of him with an incredible look on his face.

After a while.

Fan Xian pondered and said, "No, I have to wait until tomorrow night and go to the palace again."

"Uncle Wuzhu said that the key to the box is in the Queen Mother's bedroom."

"Moreover, the style of this key is something that ordinary people definitely cannot make. It must be related to my mother."

"Anyway, His Majesty already knows about it, so when we go again tomorrow night, no one will stop us."

Thinking of this, Fan Xian put the box back under the bed.

As for the keys in his hand, he just threw them casually on the table.

Wait until tomorrow night, when I sneak into the Queen Mother's bedroom again, and I'll have to search carefully.

Afterwards, Fan Xian didn't think any more and just lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Silent all night.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

In the palace.

Li Chengze woke up from his sleep with the sound of roosters crowing.

After he sat up from the bed, he stretched lazily.

"Comfortable!"

"I slept really well last night."

Last night he practiced until midnight and then went to bed early. He slept well and had almost no dreams all night.

As for the news that Fan Xian had entered the palace, which his men had informed him of last night, he didn't care at all.

Because, this was expected.

If Li Chengze's prediction is correct.

Fan Xian escaped death this time, and he will definitely know who framed him before.

Therefore, they can't wait to find help.

If that is the case, then Emperor Qing would be a very good candidate.

Moreover, Fan Xian would definitely sneak into the Queen Mother's bedroom to steal the key and prepare to open the box in his hand.

If it follows the plot in the original book.

Although Fan Xian arrived in Kyoto City early, Wu Zhu must have told him about the box.

Otherwise, I wouldn't carry a box with me.

because of this,

Before, after Li Chengze opened the box, he was particularly careful when putting the key back.

He left a fake key in the secret compartment under the Queen Mother's bed. Later, Fan Xian would definitely get this fake key and try to open the box.

By then, he will find that the box cannot be opened at all.

Li Chengze found it ridiculous when he thought of Fan Xian's depressed scene.

No matter what, it will definitely delay Fan Xian for a while.

Even if he took great effort to open the box, he would find that it was empty.

The scene at that time will be very interesting.

Thinking of this, Li Chengze couldn't help but laugh.

Then, the maid Xiaotao walked in from outside, holding a wooden basin and a towel in her hands.

"Your Highness, you may wash up now."

Li Chengze turned around, got out of bed and started to wash up.

After he changed into new robes, he walked out the door.

However, when Li Chengze walked out of the room, he stretched out his hand and pinched the maid Xiaotao's face, and said with a smile:

"Xiao Tao, you have become more and more beautiful recently."

"Ah?" The maid Xiaotao was stunned for a moment and didn't react.

When she came to her senses, she found that Li Chengze had already walked away.

Immediately afterwards, the maid Xiaotao's face turned red.

"Your Highness praised me?"

"Your Highness actually praised me for my good looks."

The maid Xiaotao covered her face with her hands, looking like a crazy fan.

……

After a while.

After Li Chengze had breakfast, he took his people and left the palace.

Soon, Li Chengze arrived at a remote house.

This was something he had specially asked Jia Xu to buy for training soldiers.

The rooms around were almost all empty, and even the people living inside were their own people.

Now that the semi-automatic rifles have been built, it is time to teach them the knowledge about guns.

When Li Chengze arrived at the mansion, he saw more than a hundred men, all standing straight.

As soon as he approached, everyone immediately knelt on the ground and nodded, saying, "Greetings, Master!"

Jia Xu was still wearing a green Taoist robe, waving a white feather fan, and said to Li Chengze: "My lord, the people you asked me to find are all here."

"They are all trained warriors, loyal and reliable, and can be trusted completely."

After seeing this, Li Chengze nodded and said, "Very good."

"How many of these people can read and write?"

Jia Xu said: "About thirty or so."

"Okay." Li Chengze clapped his hands and said, "Go and bring all the people who can read and write to the room and wait for me."

"I'm going to train them later!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chengze walked directly into the room.

Jia Xu came in front of the crowd, pointed at a few people and said:

"You, and you, and all of you, go into the room. The master has something to say to you."

"Yes." Several people bowed and agreed, and immediately walked into the room.

When the few people just walked into the room, they saw their host pasting several drawings on the hanging wooden board.

And the contents on the drawings are some strange parts.

They originally thought that they would help their master share the work, but they found that the work was almost done and they did not start.

Moreover, no one dares to act rashly without the master's permission.

After Li Chengze pasted the last drawing on the wooden board, he said to the people who had just come in:
"You all sit down."

"Yes." Several people nodded in agreement and immediately sat down in an orderly manner.

After seeing this, Li Chengze immediately waved his hand and said, "We are here to study, no need to be so serious."

"Before we start class, I have to ask you a question."

"What do you think is the most powerful weapon in this world?"
