537: It is a demon in hell, not a fairy in heaven
"The production of gunpowder is more complicated, so the output of each year is not very high, from the production of raw materials to the processing and other processes are controlled by the Ministry of War, and because the danger is very great, so the father strictly controls it, every catty and every tael have an account record, today we present a pound of a catty, it is already a lot, if it is an ordinary person, ten heads are not enough to cut it......"
Gunpowder is a military thing, and naturally it is controlled by the Ministry of War.
Naturally, the carpenters who made the windows had never seen what gunpowder was, and they only did things according to orders.
"Yes, this pound of gunpowder must have been made by Zhao Xiangning in the name of the General's Mansion to the people of the Ministry of War, and the father will definitely investigate secretly, and the people of the Ministry of War have been corrupt all these years, and there are more or less problems from top to bottom, and the father has long wanted to rectify it. In the past, it was just a small fight for officials to install relatives and relatives, but now this involves gunpowder, and my father will never let it go lightly. ”
Hearing that she would not let it go gently, Mu Xue was a little worried.
"Ah Li, you said that I would not harm the General's Mansion, in fact, you also know that I only want to deal with Zhao Xiangning's old witch, after all, if it weren't for my father's status, no one in the military department would dare to give gunpowder to Zhao Xiangning..."
Everyone knows that Zhao Xiangning's current status is because of Mu Zhennan, no matter how these two people say it, they are also married and married, Mu Xue is afraid that things will be beyond her control and it will be bad if she hurts her father.
"It's okay, Mu Zhennan is not in the capital now, and my father is not a mediocre person, so I won't blame your father, besides, don't we still have the two of us to protect it, the general's mansion will be fine."
"Hmm..."
She replied lightly, and then moved the whole person into his arms.
In this way, his breath haunted her all over her.
It has a light fragrance like jasmine.
"Well, I hope my father won't think that this situation was caused by his too much favor and father, otherwise it would be another turmoil."
Mu Xue was a little sleepy, and she didn't hold on to it in his arms for too long before she fell asleep.
Not long after, Nangong Li also slept.
Nangong Li had told him not to come and disturb him if he didn't have anything important, so when these two people woke up, it was already dark.
The night was as cold as water, and Mu Xue drilled into his arms.
"Ah Li, the winter in the capital should be very cold, there is no heating in this winter, but how to warm up...."
Mu Xue's voice was soft, and she was hoarse when she woke up, and Nangong felt very comfortable when she heard it.
"Little Tianba is dead, but Ah Li will let it die as it deserves, tomorrow let people take its tiger skin down, drain the blood and then send it to the Internal Affairs Office, let them make a set of thick and beautiful tiger fur cloak out, when it snows in winter, you put it on your body, it is absolutely warm."
Xiao Tianba is dead, and the skin is very valuable, and the tiger's femur can also be used in medicine.
"Well, a tiger that was originally raised well is a bad disaster, so let's make the best use of it."
Saying this, Mu Xue paused again, and looked at the window with wind chimes hanging over there.
"I want Xiao Tianba's tiger teeth, I want to keep it as a collection."
The genuine products of Huya are hard and old, simple and beautiful, and have always been very precious, and the value of the collection is extremely high.
"Good. It's all up to you. ”
The tiger's body is full of treasures, and Mu Xue has left everything that can be left as a souvenir.
The two of them slept for an afternoon, and when they came out again, there were lamps on the main path from the funeral hall.
Supper was prepared in the Nasino Pavilion.
The two of them had dinner, Nangong left to inquire about today's progress, and Mu Xue was doing embroidery work in the room.
Today's moonlight is not very bright, and the atmosphere in the capital is also low-pressure and tight.
The news that Nangong Chen was injured by the assassin reached the prince's mansion at the moment of the child's time.
The young couple hasn't slept yet.
Mu Xue was still holding a ring ruler and scissors in her hand and was about to cut clothes, and when she heard this, she looked at Nangong Li in disbelief: "You sent someone to do it??" ”
Nangong Li frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and when he heard this, he shook his head and said, "I don't have it." ”
"You didn't? Who can you be? My father can't do such a thing, and the five brothers are not in the capital..."
Hearing that King Chen was stabbed by an assassin, Mu Xue's first reaction was Nangong Li,
That's what Nangong Chen wants.
Since you can't go to the hunt, it's too fake to be sick, and it's good to be injured.
Not only that, but he had already been stabbed in the shoulder anyway, and with such a self-directed assassin coming out, the injuries on his body would become above board.
Not only that, but in order to be more realistic, he also really let people come to his lower abdomen.
After all, you have to do everything to make a show.....
He is now being stabbed.
That means that the matter of leaving the prince's palace last night has nothing to do with me.
What a play.
Even the bitter meat meter was used.
Because Mu Xue's first reaction when she heard that there was an assassin was Nangong Li, not to mention others.
Like what...
The emperor in the palace...
Nangong Li glanced at Fei Qi, who came to report the news, and said: "Let's talk about the specific situation, it is so late at night, why did the news of King Chen's assassination reach our ears, and there is also whether my third brother is seriously injured, did the assassin catch it..."
If the news can reach his palace, it will naturally be able to reach the palace.
Yesterday, there were tigers and fires in his palace, and the trouble was much more serious than the current Chenwang Mansion, but the news did not reach the palace overnight.
Why did this little assassination make everyone know about it in the middle of the night??
After thinking about it, Nangong felt that there was only one situation.
That is, Nangong Chen himself deliberately spread the news, it is best to spread it to the palace, to the ears of the emperor, so that the emperor no longer doubts himself is the point.
The facts are exactly as Nangong Li guessed.
Fei Qi soon told all the news he had heard.
"I heard that there were three assassins, and they stabbed King Chen's shoulder and lower abdomen, and now the whole palace is full of trouble, and the sound of catching assassins is loud, and those guards are running around with torches, and they still have assassins in their mouths, and it is difficult not to let people know, but it is so much trouble, but none of the three assassins have been caught."
Originally, Nangong Li's heart was just a suspicious shadow, but when he heard Fei Qi's reply, he immediately affirmed the conjecture in his heart.
So many guards didn't even catch one of the assassins, not because the guards in the Chenwang Mansion were drinking wine bags and rice bags, but because the assassins were just those made-up blank characters.
Looking at Nangong Li's secretive expression, Mu Xue felt as if he knew the secret.
She glanced at him suspiciously, and asked suspiciously: "If it's not you, who can it be?" Could it be himself? ”
Nangong Li raised an eyebrow as a matter of course, confirming Mu Xue's guess.
"Huh?"
Mu Xue was so shocked that she didn't even close her mouth, and asked in disbelief: "This, this is unlikely, he sang a play directed and acted by himself, what is the picture?" ”
"Tsk, my silly Cher, I used to look smart, why did I become stupid all of a sudden......"
Nangong Li also sighed twice, as if he felt that Mu Xue couldn't figure it out at the moment.
"I'm stupid, I'm just too lazy to think about it, but I'm thinking that he should be trying to cover up his injuries, otherwise he won't be able to hide his injuries in the hunting ground..."
Mu Xue said that she was too lazy to think, but she still quickly figured out the key to this.
"Yes, this method is clever, it will clear the suspicion and not expose his injuries on the hunting ground, but ah, his approach is only pediatric in the eyes of his father, but it just happened to expose that this matter is related to him."
Most of the time, Mu Xue felt that Nangong was not a mortal,
It's a god.
In the past, Mu Xue was rarely able to hide the true thoughts in his heart in front of him.
She is a layman, and it doesn't matter if what she thinks is guessed by such a person.
But this man can guess the thoughts of others, even the thoughts of his father, he is not a person at all, he is not a god or has some superpowers, and he can hear the hearts of others.
Nangong Li didn't know that Mu Xue had such thoughts in his heart, and when he turned his head, he saw his stupid Xue'er staring at him stunned.
What was his silly Cher thinking?
Such a distraction???
Could it be that you are looking at yourself handsome?
It's no wonder that Nangong Li is so narcissistic at the moment, this Mu Xue looked at Nangong Li's eyes at this moment with a lot of admiration.
It was as if I was very impressed by his scheming.
That's right!!
In the past, Nangong was afraid that she was too scheming in front of her, and this woman would stay away from her and refuse to be close.
But at this moment, it was clear that there was a sense of reverence in her eyes.
"Ah Li, I'm afraid you're not a fairy, right..."
Immortal??
Nangong raised his eyebrows, is his ability so strong in Xiao Xue'er's eyes?
I can reach the gods in the sky.
No, no, no.
Nangong Li felt that if he was really not a person, then he would definitely be a demon in hell, not an immortal in the sky.
"I'll take you as if you're praising me..."
As he spoke, he walked slowly towards her, a bright smile on his lips.
By the way, he waved his hand and let Fei Qi go down.
After Fei Qi left, there were only two people left in this room.
He sat down behind her, his hands around her waist.
At this moment, Nangong Li didn't like winter, because he found that he was now wrapped around her waist, and he could only touch the close-fitting and soft clothes on her body, but he couldn't feel her skin.
Unlike in summer, no matter how Nangong Li hugged Mu Xue, she could feel her soft body, the colder it was, the more Mu Xue wore clothes, and she ate less tofu....
