289: The situation of Prince Fu's Mansion

In Prince Fu's secret training base, a fat figure was shooting a gun, and with one gunshot after another, the 150-meter target kept showing rings close to the bullseye, demonstrating his excellent shooting ability…

This person was, of course, Prince Fu, Zhu Jifu. After a period of hard training, his shooting level had greatly improved, but he was still not very satisfied. It should be known that a distance of 150 meters is only about five to ten breaths for a Martial General or Martial Commander. If he was not careful, he might not even have the chance to draw his gun and aim, let alone shoot. Therefore, if he wanted to seize the initiative, first, he had to speed up his gun-drawing, second, he had to speed up his shooting, and third, he had to increase the shooting distance!

Currently, he could control the two actions of drawing the gun and aiming within eight breaths, which was barely acceptable, but the shooting distance was still too short. It must be increased to 300 and 500-meter targets for more security.

Thinking of this, he felt his heart was a little chaotic, so he shook his head, put down the gun, and took out a silk scarf to wipe his sweat…

“Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness…” A voice kept sounding from far to near.

Prince Fu knew without looking that Zhu Nan had arrived. This training base was top secret, and only he and Zhu Nan could enter. So, if no major accident had occurred, it must be Zhu Nan.

“What kind of behavior is this, being so flustered…” Prince Fu frowned and snorted.

“Your Highness, Ninth Young Master is here!!!” Zhu Nan shrieked as soon as he spoke.

“What?! Where?! Let him in quickly!!!” Prince Fu’s small eyes immediately lit up, and he urgently shouted.

Zhu Nan quickly said, “Your Highness, Ninth Young Master only sent a message to this old servant. He has already entered the city, but he still has other things to do, and he said…”

“What did he say?”

“He said that there are always people from various forces monitoring the Prince Fus Mansion, so he certainly won’t enter in front of those people. He will come when the opportunity arises…”

“Is that so? Haven't the people from Feng Residence and Drunken Flower Pavilion all gone to Teng Yaolin? Who else is monitoring us around here?” Prince Fu asked curiously.

Zhu Nan sighed softly and said, “Your Highness, you know, too many people are eyeing the Prince Fus Mansion. Feng Residence and Drunken Flower Pavilion are just two of them. At least, other princes who intend to compete for the throne have sent people to monitor here. According to Ninth Young Master, Feng Guang has a dedicated data room where every movement of our Prince Fus Mansion is compiled into data and stored there. Presumably, other forces do the same…”

Prince Fu broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this, and his face turned pale…

Looking at the distant target again, he snorted, “Move the target to 300 meters. This Prince must practice his marksmanship well and shoot down all those who dare to covet this Prince!!!”

Zhu Nan looked at the shooting results displayed on the large screen and shook his head, “Your Highness, the 150-meter target has not yet reached Perfection. Moving it to 300 meters now is a bit too hasty…”

“This Prince also knows it’s hasty, but isn’t time tight now? And those people are all ambitious wolves…” Prince Fu sighed.

“Your Highness, there’s no need to be so anxious. The current situation is much better than before!” Zhu Nan said with a smile.

“Is that so?” Prince Fu was startled.

Zhu Nan nodded and said, “Indeed! Your Highness, do you know what the hottest topic in this city is recently?”

“The hottest topic… isn't it the Battle of Nanming and Justin's concert?”

“That's right, but that's just a hot topic for ordinary people after meals. The focus of various forces, however, is different from theirs…” Zhu Nan said.

“Oh? How is it different?”

“The mechs and single-person aircraft displayed in the Battle of Nanming were eye-catching and captured the attention of ordinary people, but various forces are now investigating who defeated the mechs! You should know that at that time, the Black Tortoise Guard of the Southern Division was already in a precarious situation. If it weren't for a mysterious person intervening, it's possible they would have been completely annihilated!” Zhu Nan said proudly.

Prince Fu narrowed his eyes upon hearing this and said, “Are they trying to dig out Ninth Young Master? And the two Armor-Piercing Spears we have?”

Zhu Nan quickly said, “Your Highness, rest assured, they certainly don’t know that the mysterious person is Ninth Young Master! This old servant learned from the informants we planted that various forces are now looking for that mysterious person. It is said that the information they have already found can prove one thing: none of the Martial Commander bigshots of Great Ming have appeared in Nanming City recently. So, this mysterious person is extremely suspicious. Before they find out who this person is, they dare not act rashly! After all, Nanming is very close to Southern Yue, and this person must possess combat power above Martial Commander, and a Martial Commander is enough to change the combat power balance of a base!”

Prince Fu nodded slightly upon hearing this. It seemed that Long Yuan's intervention in the Nanming Wilderness last time indeed added an uncertain factor to the Nanyue Base, and a heavy one at that, making various forces somewhat caught off guard for a while, thereby temporarily diverting their attention. This was a good thing for both the Prince Fus Mansion and Nan Yue City.

Zhu Nan continued, “As long as they don’t find out who the mysterious person is for a day, they will have scruples before launching any action. At the very least, they will wait until they also have Martial Commander-level combat power before acting. However, this condition is also affected by the Three Martial Kings incident that occurred a few days ago!”

Prince Fu immediately asked, “Could it be that there’s news from Shuntian Prefecture as well?”

“Yes, Your Highness! Our informants have sent word that after the Three Martial Kings incident spread, His Royal Highness the First Prince presided over an emergency meeting. After the meeting, whether official or civilian forces, several Martial Commanders received their assignments, and many Martial Commanders chose to go into seclusion directly after the meeting to break through to higher cultivation Realms. In such a situation, if any Martial Commander suddenly appears in Nan Yue City, it will cause dissatisfaction at the highest level, because now is the time to unite against external threats. If they were to engage in internal strife during normal times, the highest level might turn a blind eye, but at a critical moment concerning the survival of Great Ming, if they still engage in internal strife, I'm afraid the highest level will make an example of them to warn others…” Zhu Nan analyzed.

“Haha, hahahahaha… Heaven is truly helping me!!!” Prince Fu laughed wildly, his fat face and body trembling non-stop. He was indeed feeling much more relieved, not expecting the shadow that had enveloped him for many days to miraculously disappear.

With this buffer time, he would be able to raise his shooting level to an extremely high degree. Oh, and there’s also the Sinkhole Base. Now that Long Yuan has arrived, as long as the base is activated, his trump cards will greatly increase. Once this most difficult period is over and the base’s military products are released, then there will be nothing to fear!
