When Qi Xiao woke up, he learned that they had returned to Hubei City and proposed to return to the capital mansion to rest.
After hearing the news, Lu Yi rushed over, patted his leg and said, "I dare to walk around outside in this state. You are just a little weak. Could it be that you are still acting like a little daughter-in-law?"
Qi Xiao said angrily: "There are so many people coming and going in your courtyard, how can I rest?"
"Isn't it easy to rest? I'll send someone to build a small attic in the backyard for you to rest in. But I think it's best not to move, otherwise it will be lonely and unpopular."
Mu Siyu came in with fish soup and said: "I killed this fish today and cooked it myself. In order to regulate Mr. Qi's body, I will arrange Mr. Qi's three meals a day."
"Madam is so kind, I can't refuse this official." When Qi Xiao smiled, his handsome face finally turned a little red, unlike the lifeless look he had just now.
"Actually, I still need Mr. Qi's help with something." Mu Siyu said, "My husband has drawn some diagrams of the mechanism, but he is an amateur after all, so he may have missed something. Mr. Qi is good at the mechanism, so he may be able to remember it more clearly, at least
Your perspective of observation is different."
"Okay, I'll draw."
Lu Yi set up a low table on Qi Xiao's bed and prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Qi Xiao asked Lu Yi to grind it, and the latter sneered twice and did it obediently.
Who owes him?
This time the favor is too big. What does it mean to be ordered around for a few days?
The pictures Qi Xiao drew were more comprehensive. Unlike Lu Yi, who only drew the visible surface, Qi Xiao could even see the internal structure of the mechanism.
"Can you design such a mechanism?"
"cannot."
"With your ability, if you are not poisoned, can you crack this mechanism?"
"It takes time, and it won't work in a short time. That mechanism is very dangerous. If the cracking speed is too slow, I will not have a chance to crack it alive."
"I'll take it away first, and you can chat slowly."
A few days later, Lu Shaoyu returned to the capital with a team of troops.
Everyone in the Huang family, Mrs. Tong and Dr. Zhu prepared many local specialties for Lu Shaoyu to take back and distribute to friends there, and most importantly, to Mu Zhenghan.
After Lu Shaoyu left, life in Hubei City returned to normal, as if that cruel war had never happened.
In the yard, Qi Xiao was sitting in a wheelchair with a chessboard in front of him, and his opponent was Lu Yi, who had entered a retirement state early.
"Madam, she goes out early and comes back late these days. She seems very busy!"
"When will Madam stop being busy?" Lu Yi was already used to it.
It is not an exaggeration to say that as the prime minister of a country, he is responsible for everything, but compared with his wife, it is nothing at all.
"Master Lu's annual salary is not as much as what Madam makes in one day, right?" Qi Xiao asked, "How does it feel to be taken care of by Madam?"
"Envy? There's no point in envying her. There is no other woman in the world who can have Madam's business acumen. You can only envy her from the side."
Qi Xiao: "..."
As the prime minister of a country, doesn't he feel ashamed?
Seeing his arrogant look made me feel even more unhappy.
"No more." Qi Xiao threw away the chess pieces in his hand and pushed the wheelchair into the room. "Looking at you makes me heartbroken."
Lu Yi disagreed: "That's what you asked for. I didn't stimulate you, you came to stimulate yourself."
"Sir, Master Qi, madam, please invite me." Zelan walked in.
Shangzhi and Chanyi have returned to Mu Siyu, but Qingdai and Zelan have also stayed. Originally there were only two maids, but now there are two more. The four maids each perform their own duties, and they are Mu Siyu's most important.
A powerful assistant.
"Where does the lady want us to go?"
"Master and lord, just follow me." Zelan said respectfully.
Lu Yi walked towards Qi Xiao, pushing his wheelchair to follow Zelan.
Qi Xiao felt Lu Yi's limp and said sarcastically: "In my opinion, you should be the one sitting in this wheelchair. How about you sit on it and I'll push you? I'm just a little weak and can't walk a few steps."
That’s no problem.”
"Master Qi is not young now. When I return to the capital, I will ask the emperor for permission to arrange a marriage for Master Qi. I think the emperor will be happy to do it. What about Li Shangshu's daughter? Or Wang Jiedushi's sister?"
Qi Xiao: "..."
Stinky fox.
If you want to say what his biggest weakness is, it is only this.
Even if he threatens him with his family, he will not frown, but...
He doesn't want a woman to disturb his life.
"Sir, sir, the place ahead is where Madam wants you to go."
"What is this place? The basement?"
"You will know when you go in."
Lu Yi pushed Qi Xiao into the basement.
As soon as I entered the door, a large number of arrows shot out from the wall.
Lu Yi quickly pulled out the sword from his waist and swung away the arrows.
Qi Xiao also resisted with a soft sword.
However, those arrows did not have arrowheads. They only hit their bodies and did not hurt their vital parts. Otherwise, if so many arrows were suddenly shot, even if they had three heads and six arms, they would not be able to dodge.
"This scene is very familiar." Lu Yi said.
"After we entered the canyon, the first mechanism we faced was the arrow array. We brought fifty people with us at that time, and fifteen of them were caught in the arrow array."
"Yes, no wonder I feel familiar."
"I restored the mechanisms in the canyon based on the drawings you drew." Mu Siyu walked out of the hiding place.
"Madam, you mean there are other agencies ahead?"
"Yes." Mu Siyu said, "But don't worry, I only kept its principle, and it didn't hurt people like a real mechanism."
"Madam, do you want us to find out the mechanism and explore the canyon?" Lu Yi understood what Mu Siyu meant.
"Yes." Mu Siyu said, "Didn't you tell me? That canyon is very big and can accommodate 10,000 people training at the same time. In other words, that is their base camp, and there must be many clues left in it. Of course.
, you made a scene there and alerted the snake, they should have moved out of there. But they have lived there for so long, there will always be some clues left behind."
"Madam is right, we have to explore again." Lu Yi said, "No matter whether it has been emptied out or not, there will always be something left inside for us to study."
"Then let's take another look." Qi Xiao said, "Madam, since you have created these mechanisms, you must have figured out how to crack them."
"I have been so worried that my hair has turned gray during this period of time. Fortunately, I have finally lived up to my mission and figured out how to crack them." Mu Siyu said, "Let's start with this arrow formation..."
There are fifty-four mechanisms in the whole array. The arrow array in the first level looks dangerous, but it is actually the easiest level to crack. It becomes more and more difficult after that. However, since there are so many people in the canyon, the mechanism cannot
If you do it too decisively, you will accidentally hurt your own people, and you will not even have the mechanism to regret it. It can be seen that every mechanism has left an escape route. As long as you grasp the key, you can retreat safely.
