"Is it better to strike first? How to strike?" Hong Luan hugged the child, who was about to fall asleep, into her arms and whispered into Ding Xiaolian's ear.
"Of course we start with her identity." Ding Xiaolian dropped the melon seeds in his hand on the plate, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, his eyes full of contempt, "She is a fake princess, a fake, once her identity is revealed, she will be a deceiver. It's such a crime that she can't save her life, but she still dares to dream of being the crown princess, huh!'
"Then to prove that she is a fake, we can only find her relatives to testify." Hong Luan rolled his eyes and said.
"Yes." Ding Xiaolian nodded, "I will send a letter to my father and ask him to send someone to handle this matter as soon as possible." After saying that, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Her name is Mrs. Song, right? That's a An out-and-out miser, a master who loves money.'
"Not only her mother, but who in her whole family is not greedy for money?" Hong Luan added, "As long as we give them enough money and protect their lives, they will definitely rush to reveal Shen Weiwei's true identity."
"Then let's do it like this." Ding Xiaolian tightened his hand on the handkerchief, "But you have to be careful during this period. You must be careful about Shen Weiwei."
On the way back to Zhaoshu Palace, Xia Luoluo had already returned to normal. Except for the slightly red circles under her eyes, the sadness and depression on her face were gone.
"It seems that Concubine Ding has listened to what Her Royal Highness the Princess said, and she will definitely find a way to deal with Shen Weiwei." Song Zhu said.
A smile appeared on Charlotte's lips.
"Concubine Ding is pregnant with a boy. She is very ambitious. How can she let Shen Weiwei go so easily?"
"Besides, Shen Weiwei's mother Yufen once mentioned that Concubine Ding stayed in Shenjia Village for a long time. She had 18 or 10 of the handles on Shen Weiwei. Of course, if she didn't have this princess, He didn’t hesitate to provide it to her.”
Song Zhu smiled easily: "Then please take good care of your health, Your Highness. When you lose weight, this 'Second Princess of Da Qi' may be gone. By then, Wei Xuanyuan may kneel in front of you~~ Please be with him cooperating."
"Cooperate with him? Huh, this princess just wants him to die!" Charlotte's eyes were fierce.
She, Xia Luoluo, has always been determined to retaliate against others, and Wei Xuanyuan tortured her until she was like this, which was the only way out for her to die!
Lingzhou border, Kang'an City.
In the temporary palace, Shen Yue and others were having breakfast when Shadow came in with a letter.
"Your Highness, Princess, a secret message from the capital.'
Ji Xun put down his chopsticks and took the letter, opened it, read it and handed it to Shen Yuyu, who then handed it to Aqin after reading it.
"Judging from the symptoms, it should be 'mind-controlling poison.'" Ah Qin said after reading the letter.
"Yeah." Shen Yuyu also nodded. She had also seen this kind of Gu in the book on Miao Jiang's Gu Techniques. "To be precise, it should be called the Zi-Mother Controlling Heart Gu. The "Zi-Mother" controls the mind. Gu', and the longer you control it, the more it will affect your mind, and in the end you can even control the Gu to commit suicide~~"
"How to solve it?" Ji Xun's face showed deep worry.
"There is no cure for this voodoo," Ah Qin said, "but if the mother voodoo dies, the poison of the person who has been infected by the "child voodoo" will naturally be cured."
"Whose body will the mother Gu be in? Wei Xuanyuan? Prime Minister Zhou? Or Baidie?" Ji Xun asked repeatedly.
A Qin and Shen Yuyu looked at each other and shook their heads, neither of them knew.
"Ah Xun, don't worry, there will definitely be a way to find the mother Gu." Shen Yuyu held Ji Xun's hand to comfort him, "Since Wei Xuanyuan wants to seize the world of the Great Zhou Kingdom, he will definitely use the emperor as a pawn. The emperor will not know for a while. My son will be fine."
Ah Qin volunteered and said, "Brother Ah Xun asked Sister Yu to go to the capital to find the mother voodoo." She has the king of voodoos on her body, and she can sense it once she gets close to the mother voodoo.
"Wei Xuanyuan knows you, this is really too dangerous." Shen Yuyu shook his head, paused and quickly looked up at Ji Xun, "Axun, how about I go to the capital with Aqin? I know the art of disguise, so It’s much safer.”
"Yu Yu forgot one thing. The poison on Emperor Jing Yuan's body is still waiting for you to cure. You have to go back and forth to the capital for at least half a year. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to delay like this." Ji Xundao.
"Sss~~, look at my memory." Shen Yuyu slapped his forehead, his eyes full of embarrassment.
"Just let me go." A Qin looked at Shen Yue and Ji Xun and begged, "I can wear a veil and a David's hat. I must protect myself."
Seeing A Qin's resolute attitude, Shen Yue thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll teach you the art of disguise, if you are willing to learn it, A Qin."
"Of course I'm willing to learn, but I'm afraid I won't be able to learn. It must be difficult." Ah Qin said.
"It's not difficult. You should be able to learn it in two or three days." Shen Yuyu said, in fact, it is not difficult. Good cosmetics are the key. These things can be bought in Shen Yuyu's space.
"That's it. Shadow, you take ten top secret guards and A Qin to the capital to resolve this matter." Ji Xundao.
"Yes." Shadow accepted the order.
After the meal, Shen Yuyu took Aqin to learn how to "disguise".
A Qin was delicate and intelligent, and soon learned the art of disguise to the seventh or eighth level, including applying beards, moles, wigs, and make-up to look stylish.
By the fourth day, when she and Shadow dressed up as a middle-aged couple and headed to the capital, no one could recognize their true faces.
There was a turmoil in the capital, but now that Ji Xun had come to the fiefdom, many things were beyond his reach. Ji Xun would only think of intervening in matters that were crucial to the life of Emperor Qi Heng.
He devoted all his attention to the management of Lingzhou territory and recruiting troops and horses.
"Yu Yu, let's go. My husband will take you to a place." After sending A Qin and Ying away, Ji Xun took Shen Yu Yu's hand and walked out of the house.
"Where to go? Isn't it going to be an outing out of the city?" Shen Yuxi blinked and looked at Ji Xun with her almond-shaped eyes.
Ji Xun shook Shen Yuyu's hand firmly and smiled brightly in the sunshine, dazzlingly beautiful.
He said slowly and calmly, "In April, the grass is growing and the orioles are flying, and the flowers are in full bloom. As soon as you leave the city, you will see scenery everywhere. It is indeed an outing."
"Wait a minute, I'll get a basket." Shen Yuxi laughed, broke free from Ji Xun's hand, ran over and asked Aunt Yang for a bamboo basket, "I wanted to pick some moxa leaves to make green tea two days ago. You can collect more later."
"Okay, I'll pick it later." Ji Xun took the bamboo basket from Shen Yuyu's hand and helped her into the carriage. After getting on the carriage, he held Shen Yuyu's hand tightly, put it to his mouth and kissed her. .
After thinking about it, he said guiltily, "There was a flood in Kang'an City during the Qingming Festival this year. My husband was busy dealing with the flood and didn't have time to take Yu Yu back to Shenjia Village to visit the grave. I'm really sorry."
"It's bad~~ There's nothing we can do about it. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law are alive in heaven and they won't blame you." Shen Yuyu smiled, "Besides, the Shen brothers and sisters-in-law also said in the letter that they would go and clean our parents." Those who visit the grave, Ah Xun need not feel guilty.'
"Well, then next year during the Qingming Festival, we might go back to visit the grave with the baby in our arms. We will go back and stay a few nights in advance a few days before then." Ji Xun kissed Shen Yuyu's forehead ambiguously.
"The poison in my body hasn't been cured yet, and I think about having a baby every day~" Shen Yuyu glanced at Ji Xun. After the carriage left the city, it went straight to the north. Shen Yuyu wondered, "Where are we going?" Going around and around, stop and go, there is such a big patch of mugwort over there."
The carriage stopped, Ji Xun carried the basket and carefully accompanied Shen Yugu to pick wormwood. Soon he picked a basket full of fresh and green wormwood, and then continued to the north.
After walking for another hour, we saw the winery ahead.
Shen Yuhu lifted the car curtain, looked at the large-scale winery in front of him, and smiled at Ji Xun, "Axun, is there any production in the winery?"
Of course she knows what this winery is for. The flood more than a month ago allowed them to discover a large iron mine. Now the iron-making of weapons should be on the right track, right?
"It was precisely because it was "produced" that Yu Yu came to take a look." Ji Xun rubbed the melon seeds on Shen Yu Yu's little head, "The sample of the repeating crossbow you drew before has been produced."
"Really?" Shen Yuyu's face was full of surprise. In addition to swords, guns, swords, halberds and bows and arrows, this dynasty did not have weapons as destructive as repeated crossbows. If an army using repeated crossbows could be built, what would it be? The unthinkable.
From a distance, I saw many people busy in the fields. When they saw a carriage approaching, some people raised their heads to take a look.
These busy people are all secret guards guarding the 'winery'.
Ji Xun gave them a secret signal, and they continued to work on their own.
'The winery is surrounded by high walls and occupies a large area. To avoid suspicion, wine is still being brewed inside, and the air is filled with a strong aroma of wine.
But after walking a little further inside, people will be surprised. There are tall furnaces, mountains of iron ore, and the sound of tinkling iron can be heard from time to time. Various workers are coming and going, making it a lively scene.
"I have met His Royal Highness the Night King and the Night Princess." Lin Yi led Ji Xun and Shen Yuyu inside. From time to time, people recognized them and bowed to greet them.
Those who are busy here are all soldiers of the Red Flame Battalion, sweating and working hard at their respective posts.
"Prince and concubine, this is the "Liannu" carefully crafted by our winery." Lin Yi came out holding an iron crossbow.
Ji Xun took it and tried it before handing it to Shen Yuyu.
This iron crossbow was of medium size, medium weight, well-made, and had a light metallic luster. Shen Yue looked at it over and over again, and then Lin Yi took out the crossbow arrows. After loading the crossbow arrows, Shen Yuehu and Ji Xun faced each other. A few arrows were shot in turn at the target in the distance. Ji Xun praised them greatly and was amazed.
Shen Yue was also extremely satisfied and made the replica almost exactly the same.
But this is normal. She did not draw the drawings of Lian Nu, but bought them in her portable space. Every part is marked in detail. Except that the production speed is a bit slow, the other parts will naturally not appear. what is the problem.
"Just use this one as a sample and vigorously produce it." Ji Xun handed the crossbow to Lin Yi and then ordered.
"Yes." Lin Yi's face was full of joy, and he was also filled with admiration for their princess. This girl is really weird, like an endless treasure, as if there is nothing in this world that she can't do, it's amazing. .
After that, Shen Yuyu inspected several iron-making furnaces and found that all the blowers were pulled manually, and everyone was sweating profusely from exhaustion.
Shen Yuyu fell silent, thinking about how to improve.
After all, this not only requires a lot of manpower, but is also slow. If it can be changed to semi-automation, it will be a qualitative improvement.
After the inspection, it was almost noon, Shen Yuxi and Ji Xun stayed at the winery for lunch. Shen Yuxi cooked a few dishes himself, giving the soldiers who worked hard here a good meal.
When leaving, Ji Xun told Lin Yi that he must not skimp on food and have a meat dish for every meal. After all, the labor intensity is high.
After leaving the "winery", Shen Yuehu and Ji Xun went to the nearby Qinglin Academy.
"Alas, how could my old man, He De, be so lucky to have His Royal Highness and Princess Ye personally bring wine to drink." Dean Yao held a jar of wine in one hand and smiled so much that his face wrinkled into a big flower. chrysanthemum.
"Look? Dean Yao, have you drank too much of the wine given by Ah Xun? How could you be so virtuous and so lucky?" Shen Yuyu glanced at him rudely, "By the way, this is what Ah Feng wrote to Your letter, he is thinking of you every day.'
"Hey, eh, eh~~ That boy A Feng is the prince of Daqi, right? Look at my good fortune~~ Then my old man can go." After Dean Yao put the letter away, he hugged two jars of wine happily. Went into the academy.
"Mr. Dean, please don't just drink and mislead your children, haha." Shen Yue said in a loud voice behind him.
Dean Yao said without looking back, "Look at you girl~~ What are you worrying about? My old man is a drinker, but he is a better man~~" When he returned, the carriage continued to circle east of the city and did not go back to the north.
Although the north of the city is close, I am afraid of arousing suspicion. After all, His Majesty the Night King always goes to the "winery" and no one should think too much about it.
Therefore, every time Ji Xun came to the winery, he always went to the east of the city. Since the Red Flame Camp was in the east of the city, no one thought much about it.
Suddenly, dark clouds came over the road and it started to rain heavily.
At this moment, there is a small stream in front of us, and an arch bridge over the small stream. A group of villagers are passing by on the bridge, while the water in the upstream river is swollen and rushing downstream fiercely.
Just as the stream was about to overflow the small bridge, more than a dozen people were instantly trapped high up on the arch bridge, overwhelmed by the sudden danger.
Upon seeing this, Ji Xun and Shen Yuyu hurriedly got out of the carriage in the rain and rescued them together.
After rescuing the people, Shen Yuehu and Ji Xun discovered that these people were not nearby villagers. They were dressed in ragged clothes and spoke with foreign accents, more like refugees.
"Where did you come from? Where are you going?" Ji Xun also wondered about their identities, looked at them and asked.
"We came from Tongzhou." A woman replied with a sad face.
"You came from Tongzhou? Then why did you come to Lingzhou?" Ji Xun asked strangely.
The woman sighed helplessly, "Hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed in Tongzhou and took over all our houses and fields. We have no home and can only wander around.'
"That's right." An old man wiped the rain from his face and cast his eyes towards Kang'an City in the distance, revealing a glimmer of hope. "I heard that His Highness the Night King is benevolent and loves the people. He will never abandon poor people like us. Regardless."
After hearing these words, Ji Xun fell into deep silence.
The prince Wei Yuande regarded his brothers and sisters as enemies and divided Lingzhou territory out of the country with hundreds of thousands of troops. That's all. If you are willing to be a good emperor and manage the country well so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, that's it. I never thought of still treating him as such. It's really infuriating that the people are so careless.
