It's the end of August.

East Factory, School Training Ground——

Gu Yunxi was standing under the canopy of the lookout, and the soldiers under the stand were sweating like rain.

Today is the annual all-army drill of the East Factory, and the momentum is the most spectacular. Leng Qingtang, the overseer of the East Factory, changed into a brand-new Zhanqing Admiral uniform, climbed the towering lookout very early, and sat on the Taishi chair at the front, behind him were Cheng Wanli, who was in charge of thousands of households, Xiao Xiaoshen, Gu Yunxi, and a group of factory officials.

There are three new faces on the observatory today, and these people are none other than Minglan, the father-in-law in charge of Yongning Palace, and the two guards he brought.

The West Factory is under construction, and Minglan is about to become the Supervisor of the West Factory. But he was originally born as an internal eunuch and was not good at martial arts, but he was ordered by Concubine Wan to take advantage of this Dongchang drill to come to observe. The first is to learn from the experience of unifying the army, and the second is the lesser-known purpose, that is, to explore the reality of the strength of the East Factory.

The two guards who came with Minglan were standing on both sides of Minglan's seat at the moment, looking at their body posture and spirit, they were all masters of Da Nei's martial arts, and their ages were no more than twenty, one was no less beautiful than a woman, and the other was a jade tree in the wind, chic and dignified.

Gu Yunxi glanced at the faces and bodies of the two people, and thought secretly:

This father-in-law's hobby is also peculiar, not to mention his own bewitching appearance, he is also very picky in selecting and employing people. Looking at these two attendants, it can be seen that the rumors about him are true, and he really likes to come into contact with young men with fair complexion and good facial features.

Under the lookout, the drill has reached its climax.

Everywhere you see in the field, there are flags waving, and the black and purple flags are embroidered with solemn gold characters:

The celebrant supervisor, the royal envoy, and the commander of the East Detective Factory.

The drums and horns sounded in unison, and the Shiban square team took turns to go into battle, thousands of horses and thousands of rides shuttled back and forth, and the loud shouts shook the lookout tower.

Keeping an eye on the momentum of the cheering horses on the field, a trace of essence appeared in Minglan's eyes.

This is the real strength of the East Factory? If there is no concealment, the power of such an iron armor really cannot be underestimated......

Leng Qingtang's appearance was impassive, and the corners of his eyes had already captured all kinds of subtle expression changes on Minglan's face.

What kind of brains are used by such traitorous villains, they naturally can't escape his eyes.

Leng Qingtang knew better than anyone else from beginning to end that once the imperial court moved the idea of establishing the West Factory, no matter how the East Factory acted in the future, it would be difficult to gain the absolute trust of the emperor. Just like today, Minglan was appointed to come over to investigate the truth, instead of cheating and deliberately concealing his strength during practice, it was better to come out of the nest and shock Minglan from the momentum, so that he could not find a targeted reason.

It was noon. In the late autumn season, the sun at this time is the most poisonous, the school guard factory is a hundred miles of unobstructed loess flatland, the hot sun is cast, the people on the empty field are like the meat roasted on the iron plate is difficult to hide, the hot sweat is rolling, there is no trace of wind in the air filled with hot dust and sweaty smell.

Gu Yunxi hadn't stood in such an almost harsh environment for so long since he was so old. Now that this morning has passed, she has long been dry-mouthed, sweaty and dusty, and always unhappy.

Fortunately, there was a round canopy overhead, and she thought that if she stood under the sun of the school factory like the guards in the audience, she would probably faint in less than half an hour.

Looking at Leng Qingtang, the overseer in front of him, the straight sitting posture seemed to be a habit that had been cultivated after a long period of special training and could not be broken, and the whole person sat on the Taishi chair, and his tall figure was as tall and tall as a mountain cliff.

Just by looking at his back, he will be inexplicably heartbeat, and then a little happiness and goodwill ripple in his heart.

A wave of dry summer breath came to his face, and there was a faint cold fragrance, which was a unique fragrance emanating from him.

Gu Yunxi sniffed the aroma quietly, and his eyes were occupied by the blue figure. At this moment, she no longer felt hot and unbearable. It seems that as long as the overseer is there, no matter how bitter it is, it is also a place of flowers for her, and she can be patient.

Minglan's seat was next to Leng Qingtang, and there was a small corner case dedicated to tea between the two of them.

Minglan is not very old, but he has long been accustomed to the pampered life in the palace, where can he stand the violence in the empty field full of loess for many hours. Despite the canopy above his head, he pulled out a fragrant veil and frequently wiped his face and covered his nose.

The Shiban team drill was over, Leng Qingtang looked sideways at Minglan with a cowardly face, although his heart was full of contempt, he couldn't bring out the slightest emotion on his face, and asked with a smile:

"Lord Mingdu, do you think this group of teams in the East Factory can still be taken out?"

Hearing that he was called "Overseer", Minglan was ecstatic, but he couldn't be too out of shape on the outside. He tried his best to restrain the crazy desire that swelled in his heart, and hypocritically provoked the orchid's finger and waved his hand again and again:

"Hey, Master Leng Duke, the slave doesn't dare to be, he doesn't dare to be! Although this west factory will be built sooner or later, who can lead the position of admiral, we have to say it, right? Let me say, if this East Factory can have today's momentum, it must be said that you are in charge of Lord Leng! ”

As soon as he gave a thumbs up in front of Leng Qingtang, Ming Lan's attendant, who had a sword hanging on his back and a face like a crown of jade, took two steps forward and bowed to Leng Qingtang:

"I heard that Lord Leng is also a master of using swords, but Qin Zhong is not talented, and I want to ask Lord Leng for a few tricks here!"

"Qin Zhong, presumptuous!"

Without waiting for Leng Qingtang to speak, Minglan's face suddenly turned terrier, and he turned his head to shout at his subordinates. Then he changed his appearance to laugh and said to Leng Qingtang:

"Don't blame the cold overseer, this kid is a rough man, he doesn't understand the rules and offended the overseer, and I hope the overseer will forgive me."

Leng Qingtang hooked his lips with a faint expression: "It's okay."

Xiao Xiaoshen saw that the other party seemed to be intent on finding fault, and hugged his fist angrily:

"Xiao Xiaoshen, the guard with a knife in the lower four grades, is willing to use the embroidered spring knife to the little brother's sword, how about two moves in the school factory of the two of us?!"

"Cut!" The good-looking guard raised his eyebrows proudly, raised his head and said:

"This knife and sword are rough and elegant, they can't be compared at all, what's the comparison?"

"You!" Xiao Xiaoshen raised his hand to catch him, so angry that both nostrils rolled up.

"Wait!"

The boy standing next to Qin Zhong had beautiful facial features, but he had two cold sledgehammers pinned to his waist. Raising his eyebrows and glancing at Leng Qingtang, he turned his dazzling gaze behind him, and curled his lips with a treacherous smile:

"I heard that Lord Leng recently accepted a high-ranking apprentice, I don't know which weapon this brother is used to, can you have a discussion with us?"

“……”

Gu Yunxi was stared at by the other party's evil gaze with ulterior motives. I don't know much about where she would use what weapons, even the classification of weapons, and what their names were.

Minglan turned his head, stared at her who was cramped and uneasy, and laughed wildly:

"Yun Guan'er, you must have learned a lot of martial arts from such a good master, right? It really makes my two subordinates very envious, I will say personal favors on their behalf, and you will go over and teach you a lesson or two, can you? ”

“……”

Gu Yunxi was dumbfounded, what Gonggong Ming said was too good, but after carefully pondering his every word, there was no room for her to refuse.

It seems that today I am determined to make a fool of myself! What to do –

Gu Yunxi was so anxious that he was sweating all over, and peeked at Leng Qingtang, his back was still there, sitting on the Taishi chair without moving. He turned his eyes to look at Cheng Wanli and Xiao Xiaoshen, and the two of them also stood silently, their faces gloomy and tense. The Overseer did not speak, and they did not dare to say more.

"What? Is it because the little brother is the apprentice of the cold overlord, so he looks down on us and doesn't want to compete with us? ”

It was still the voice of the kid with the sword on his back, and when he saw Gu Yunxi's face was embarrassed, he changed his appearance to be eyeing him fiercely.

"I, I don't know martial arts......" Gu Yunxi flattened his lips in embarrassment, and buried his head softly.

Although the voice was small, the crowd heard it clearly. The boy who made the hammer immediately twist his face and shouted:

"What? Can't do martial arts? How is this possible! Who doesn't know that the people who can enter the East Factory are one in a hundred who can fight, either the master of the inner or the fight from the tens of millions of brocade guards, and you are the apprentice of the master of the East Factory, and you actually told everyone here that you don't know martial arts?! ”

"Anhong, don't be rude!" Minglan raised his eyes and said with a sneer:

"People are modest, and they don't want to show their true skills in front of others, so you are so stupid that you don't know how to advance or retreat!"

This was originally a word to fan the flames, how could his two close attendants not hear it, and they were even more arrogant. Directly came up left and right to outflank Gu Yunxi in the middle, and chattered:

"Are you really the apprentice of Lord Leng Overseer?"

"We sincerely ask you for advice, it's rude for you to deliberately dodge!"

“…… I didn't have ......"

"You can't use a hammer or a sword, so you must be able to ride on horseback, right?!"

"No...... Won't ......"

"How is this possible—"

"How the hell did you get into the East Factory......

Gu Yunxi was forced to overwhelm by the continuous scolding, aggrieved and ashamed. Her eyes were red, and she was about to cry.

"Yun Guan'er, Ben Du is very hot, hurry up and get a facekerchief."

When he was about to despair, he suddenly heard an order from the Overseer.

Gu Yunxi didn't dare to slack off, and quickly responded, avoiding the two guards who were entangled.

At this time, a small servant walked over with a Jiao pattern auspicious eight-sided basin in both hands and held it up in front of Gu Yunxi's eyes.

She immediately understood, and with a light movement, she picked up the brand-new handkerchief on the edge of the bronze lotus leaf on the top of the basin, soaked it in the warm water in the basin a few times, and raised her hand to wring the towel until it was half dry.

"Overseer......"

Gu Yunxi walked in front of Leng Qingtang with a handkerchief in his hand and stood respectfully. But seeing him staring at this side, he silently raised his face, and smiled lightly between his thin lips.

Gu Yunxi realized that this was the governor asking her to serve him to clean his face-

She dared to delay, and hurriedly took another step towards him.

The black gauze high hat on his head has been taken off by Xiao Xiaoshen, a close attendant. Gu Yunxi held the handkerchief and gently covered Leng Qingtang's forehead from top to bottom, wiping his forehead, the bridge of his nose, his lips and his two cheeks one by one.

The clear face is soaked in warm water, and it is as handsome and clear as a warm jade covered with water vapor.

Under the sword eyebrows that were cold into the sideburns, the deep phoenix eyes were lazy again from the moment the handkerchief fell, and a pair of shining starry eyes fell on Gu Yunxi's tender little face, dyed with a bit of joy. Compared with other eunuchs, the face in front of her is a little more upright and masculine.

After a long time of contact between his eyes at such a close distance, Gu Yunxi had already seen two inverted shadows in the pupils of the pair of ink, which were his own faces with a mixture of despair and shyness.

She was suddenly slightly stunned, and lowered her gaze in panic. The indescribable complex sensation made her face flush and her heart beat faster and faster.
