Chapter Ninety-Eight: Who is the Inner Ghost?

"Third cousin." Dou Meishuang shrunk his neck, looking pitiful.

"Cousin, if you've stayed enough, let's go," Qin Yunuan had a tone of seeing off the guests, "As for the second sister, I don't hurt her, even if I help her, and cousin, you don't go to that troubled water." ”

"Since the third cousin refuses to clear up the misunderstanding with the cousin, then I ...... it too." Dou Meishuang shook his head cowardly, sighed to himself, and left.

At this time, Leng Changxi returned from the next dynasty, and happened to see Dou Meishuang who left in a hurry in the courtyard, Dou Meishuang saw Leng Changxi at a glance, and in an instant, her eyes lit up, but she quickly adjusted her mood, her eyes were red, covering her veil, I don't know, I thought Qin Yunuan bullied Dou Meishuang, Leng Changxi frowned slightly, and only glanced at Dou Meishuang with his spare eyes, and entered the house.

As soon as he entered the house, Qin Yunuan ordered Tingxue to bring over the duck soup that had been warm on the stove.

"I cook it myself, try it." Qin Yunuan handed over the spoon and lifted the lid with the other hand, the duck meat with the aroma of lotus leaves exuded an attractive smell in the golden soup.

"Why bother so hard." Leng Changxi took the spoon with a smile, and pinched Qin Yunuan's little face, which is now more and more round, Xu was born and raised too well in winter, and now Qin Yunuan is inexplicably fat, white and tender, and feels good.

The old duck soup is absolutely delicious, Leng Changxi likes it very much, and when he turned his head, he saw Man'er waiting on the side: "Recently, there have been a lot of affairs between the DPRK and China, and Leng Wu has to be more busy, help me, and it will be bad for you two newlywed Yan'er, don't be surprised." ”

These words are full of human feelings.

Man'er was on his knees and thanked: "The general loves the prime minister, so he will be promoted more, and I, as a wife, am too late to be happy." ”

Leng Changxi nodded: "Leng Wu married a sensible man." ”

The idle people and others all retreated, leaving only Tingxue and Xi'er to look outside, Qin Yunuan wiped the corners of Leng Changxi's mouth with slightly soup stains: "How is the Sun family handling it?" ”

Leng Changxi frowned: "People have almost dealt with it, the Sun family is a female household, and most of them are women, so there is little resistance to deal with it, but after searching all over the Sun family, I didn't find those three maps." ”

Qin Yunuan sighed, the Sun family took three maps alone, this time the house was raided, it must be many pairs of eyes staring at this treasure, thinking that if Leng Changxi finds it, I am afraid that it will cause more trouble, thinking like this, it is also a good thing that it is not found.

"Money confuses people's hearts," Qin Yunuan shook his head and said, "It seems that the fall of the Sun family this time will definitely cause another bloody storm." ”

"Silly girl" Leng Changxi pampered Qin Yu's warm and smooth forehead, "Where is the treasure so simple, but 30 million taels of gold, with your ability to make money, you will earn it back in more than ten or twenty years, not to mention, money is important, but for 30 million taels of gold, the four major families have been fighting for so long, and the people on the rivers and lakes have been fighting and killing for so many years, do you think it's worth it?" ”

Qin Yunuan suddenly understood, at first she felt that the old lady seemed to exaggerate the value of this treasure, but she didn't know the secret behind it;

Leng Changxi continued: "Those who first understand fur naturally think that these 30 million taels of gold are just 30 million taels of gold, and only those who know the inside story know what the first emperor did after getting these 30 million taels of gold. ”

"In the previous dynasty, there was a woman named Chen Guan, who was quick to think and capable of what people could not, but also managed her husband's water transportation to the wind and water, the former dynasty was seriously involved in the sea, and often plundered the merchants' fleets, suffered heavy losses, and caused the dilemma that no one dared to go to sea, this Chen Guan, but also did not know where to learn the whimsy, she designed a kind of boat, not only sailing fast as a flying arrow, but also on both sides of the ship have cannons, meet those ghost ships of the rogue Kou, if the powerful are on the ship, they will drive at full power, ordinary ghost ships can not catch up at all, If the distance is right, they will open fire and attack, and they have never missed, and they are called Thunderbolt ships. ”

"A ship is a good ship indeed." Qin Yunuan nodded, "But why hasn't it been handed down?" ”

"Hmph" Leng Changxi snorted coldly, "This is the shrewdness of that woman, she is afraid that her invention will be abused by others, so her design drawings are painted in a very mysterious way, plain looking, it is a blank paper, only know the method, in order to understand the mystery, later, Chen Wan innocently buried in the fire, the monarch of the previous dynasty tried his best to get this drawing, but never used it well, and in the end, he could only end up depressed. ”

Leng Changxi shook his head, and then said: "But when I came to the generation of the first emperor, I happened to meet a master and solved this drawing, and I was surprised to find that there was not only the shipbuilding method and design structure of the thunderbolt ship, but also a lot of novel weapon design and structure drawings. ”

"So," Qin Yunuan guessed, "the first emperor used the 30 million taels of gold to build an arsenal?" Qin Yunuan suddenly understood that in the history books, it is recorded how the first emperor turned things around and won more with less, and it seems that most of them rely on these mysterious weapons.

Leng Changxi nodded: "Today, it is an era of force speaking, which of the four major families back then was rich and rival the country, but what was lacking was enough military strength and weapons, if you can find the weapon factory, you can use this power to soar into the sky." ”

The so-called soaring into the sky is to rebel and become the emperor himself.

The original four families inevitably had distracting thoughts, and it is no wonder that the current queen mother would think of such a way to disintegrate the power of the four major families.

Qin Yunuan frowned and said, "But since there is an arms factory, there must be workers, have these workers been isolated from the world?" Also, if these workers steal the construction blueprints, ....... ”

"No" Leng Changxi shook his head and said, "The first emperor's means are sharp, and the methods are thunderous that you can't imagine, at the beginning, all the workers who can enter the weapons factory have signed a death agreement, each of them can only work for three years, and when the expiration expires, they will commit suicide in the pile of dead people, and sacrifice the blade with blood, on the one hand, it is to prevent these people from bringing the news out, on the other hand, only one year of work, and each production step is separated, they have not had time to understand the entire weapon construction process, and when the first emperor died, The last batch of workers were already brought out and buried in the imperial mausoleum. ”

"But even today, many years later, the mysterious armory factory is still flocking to it, because owning it is equivalent to having the most powerful army on land and on the sea." Qin Yunuan made a conclusion, and couldn't help but sigh, "This Chen Guan is really a god. ”

"Speaking of military strength" Leng Changxi put aside the spoon in his hand, and the duck soup in the warm cup had been wiped out by him, "There is one more thing, except that the three maps have not been found, there is nothing that should have been in the Sun family. ”

"What?"

Leng Changxi frowned: "Jinling's talisman;

。 ”

Jinling's talisman is handed over to the little marquis of Jinling and the Sun family for joint custody, and then the military envoy sent by the emperor gives orders to the army, which not only ensures the ability of the local military force to adapt to changes, but also ensures the central control of the locality, but now, the talisman kept in the Sun family is gone.

"Perhaps, it was carried by Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Sun?"

"No, it's all searched." Leng Changxi is serious and authentic.

Qin Yunuan knows the seriousness of this matter, just because the Sun family secretly raised a group of troops, as long as there is the Sun family's military talisman, there is no need for the cooperation of the little marquis of Jinling and no need for the military envoy of the central government, you can dispatch at will, Jinling is located in the northernmost part of the south of the Yangtze River, and Kyoto is only 500 miles away, if you start from Jinling, it only takes two days to drive the army to Kyoto, although Kyoto also has 100,000 central forbidden troops, but they are all a group of arrogant and lascivious officials, and the combat effectiveness is negligible.

At this moment, Tingxue outside the door hurriedly came in, holding a letter in her hand.

"Third young grandmother, this is an urgent delivery from Jinling five hundred miles."

Qin Yunuan took the letter, she remembered that this trace belonged to Fang Ziying, and shook off the letter, Qin Yunuan glanced at it quickly, and her heart tightened, which confirmed the worst guess in her heart.

"How?" Leng Changxi asked.

Qin Yunuan handed him the letter: "Sister Fang said that she received my news and asked the little marquis to help secretly investigate, and sure enough, she found that the third prince had appeared in Jinling. ”

Sima Rui, he really didn't die.

Suddenly, Qin Yunuan suddenly thought of the three maps that disappeared for no reason, and glanced at Leng Changxi, still having a bold guess in his heart, if it really came to Sima Rui's hands, and the talisman, when the time came, Sima Rui would have an army and the best weapons, Qin Yunuan believed that Sima Rui would definitely be able to do this kind of thing of killing his father and seizing the throne.

"Do you need to inform the emperor?" Qin Yunuan asked.

Leng Changxi shook his head: "The emperor has been in poor health since the last time, I'm afraid that this Sima Rui has already made a two-handed plan, Sun Miaoyang went to see it, and said that the ** incense was mixed with some other poisonous herbs, which has greatly destroyed the emperor's soul, and now as long as the slightest wind blows to cool down, the emperor will definitely be sore all over his body and infected with wind and cold." ”

"Sima Rui, he is really an extremely terrifying person."

Leng Changxi squinted his eyes: "He doesn't talk about the bottom line in doing things, so he has never been afraid." ”

Qin Yunuan thought thoughtfully: "By the way, now that the queen and Concubine Yun are dead, who is the concubine who has been with the emperor?" ”

"Who else?" Leng Changxi said lightly: "No, it's the Yang family who was just named Concubine Rong a while ago." ”

"Sure enough, it's her." Qin Yunuan raised her eyebrows, "At that time, I felt that she was not simple, a small talent, and she actually had such courage at that critical juncture, if she was really attached to Concubine Yun, then why did her position and favor rise instead of declining after Concubine Yun's death." ”

"Do you think she ...... Sima Rui?"

"It's not clear," Qin Yunuan's eyes narrowed slightly, "I only know that it's time for me to enter the palace to meet this Concubine Rong." ”
