"Really?" Yan Xi looked at Fu'an, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Princess, how easy is it to pluck the thinnest and softest mane from a horse? To complete this task before noon, let alone the ten of us, even if we find the person with the highest martial arts in Qingfeng Cliff, it is absolutely impossible to complete it. Fu'an softened his tone, but his words became more and more resolute.

"What if I finish this task before noon?" Yan Xi looked at Fu'an coldly and asked.

Fu'an pursed his lips, looked at Yan Xi, and said with a straight face, "If the princess can complete this task, in the next few days, no matter what the princess wants Fu'an to do, Fu'an will definitely do her best to do it well, even if it costs her life, Fu'an will not hesitate." ”

He didn't believe that Yan Xi had the ability to complete the task before noon, so he just said this.

"Okay, then you can watch with your eyes wide open!" Yan Xi had a bright smile on his face, and his gaze swept over Fu'an and the others one by one.

Looking at Yan Xi's confident appearance, Fu'an suddenly had a hint of foreboding in his heart. For some reason, he inexplicably believed that Yan Xi could complete this task before noon.

I saw Yan Xi walk in front of a little brother who was feeding the horses in the stable, and said something to the little brother with a smile, and the little brother put down the grass in his hand and ran towards the house where the stable steward was.

In a short time, the steward of the stables came briskly with a dozen or so servants. Seeing Yan Xi waiting here, he immediately ran over and saluted respectfully.

"The steward of the stables, Zhang Quan, see the princess." Zhang Quan looked at Yan Xi and asked with some confusion, "The princess asked the little one to bring the little ones who take care of these horses on weekdays, I don't know what the princess commanded?" ”

"Steward Zhang doesn't need to panic, I asked you to find them, but there are some things I want them to help." Yan Xixu helped Zhang Quan and said to him.

"It is their honor to be able to do things for the princess. Princess, but it doesn't hurt to say it! Hearing Yan Xi's words, Zhang Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I need a lot of fine, soft horsehair. I wonder if Steward Zhang can fetch it for me? Yan Xi asked with a smile.

Zhang Quan this time, he was completely relieved. He smiled and said to Yan Xi, "Why should Princess Lao personally run for such a trivial matter, as long as you give an order, the small one will be sent to the princess." ”

After a pause, Zhang Quan continued, "The princess, please wait a while, and the little one will be arranged." ”

Seeing that Yan Xi nodded, Zhang Quan walked up to the dozen or so small servants who took care of the horses on weekdays and whispered a few words to them. Then I saw the boys go back to their rooms and get their scissors, and go to different horses.

Probably because they are the ones who take care of these horses on a daily basis, these horses are not repulsed by their proximity.

The boys added some fodder to the horses, and brushed their hair with brushes. When the horses snorted comfortably, they carefully found the thinnest and softest mane on the horse's body, and gently cut it off with the scissors they had just taken.

Until they put the sheared mane in the tray prepared aside, the horses with the sheared mane still didn't notice it.

After cutting the mane of one horse, the boys turned to the other horse. As before, he calmed the horses. While the horses were enjoying themselves, they quietly cut their horsehair.

It only took a dozen or so little men to cut off the thinnest and softest manes of hundreds of horses, but it only took a short hour. At this time, there are still more than two hours before the time limit before noon given by Yan Xi.

Looking at the dozen or so little guys easily cutting the horse's mane, Fu'an and the others were red-faced while watching. When they rejected Yan Xi just now, they said that even if they found the person with the highest martial arts in Qingfeng Cliff, it would be absolutely impossible to complete this task. But unexpectedly, as soon as Yan Xi turned around, he found a dozen or so horse-watching servants whose martial arts might not be as good as a few of them, and it took much less time than the prescribed to complete this task easily.

"Princess, these horse's manes are the thinnest and softest on horses, and all of them are here. I don't know if it's enough for the princess? Zhang Quan walked over with a few small servants with trays and said respectfully.

"Thank you, Steward Zhang. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid that if I found the person with the highest martial arts in Qingfeng Cliff, I might not be able to get these horsehair in a short time. Yan Xi glanced at Fu'an and the others, and said with a bit of mockery.

"The princess is polite, it is our blessing to be able to serve the princess." Zhang Quan's face became more and more flattering, flattering, "If the princess has a place to find Zhang Quan in the future, she can find someone to spread the word, and she doesn't need to make a special trip." Don't let this dirty stable stain the princess's eyes. ”

Yan Xi nodded, and said to the people in Fu'an, who were bowing their heads and not saying a word, "You guys, what are you still doing in a daze?" Could it be true that you are really waiting for Steward Zhang to send this horsehair to the Thousand Machine Battalion? ”

Fu'an and the others were shocked, and stepped forward to take the trays with horsehair from Zhang Quan's hands. Looking at the horsehair piled together in the tray, Fu'an and the others only wished that there was a hole in the ground for them to get into.

"Let's go." Yan Xi said lightly, turned around and walked in the direction of the Thousand Machine Battalion.

Looking at Yan Xi's back, a little surprise appeared on the faces of Fu'an and the others. They had expected the princess to punish them, or at least to taunt them, but she said nothing, as if nothing had happened.

Several people looked at each other, and no one could guess Yan Xi's intentions. Seeing that Yan Xi had already gone away, several people didn't think much about it anymore and immediately followed.

Yan Xi, who was walking in front, didn't know what Fu'an and the others were thinking at this time.

She brought Fu'an and them to the stable today to fetch the horsehair, firstly, because these horsehair is indeed an indispensable material for the future. Second, she only has three days, and if Fu'an and them can't complete her orders 100% without any discount in a few days, the mechanism she finally makes will not be able to achieve the satisfaction she wants. So, before she could start setting up the mechanism, she needed an opportunity to convince Fu'an of her.

What happened in the stable just now not only made Fu'an and them dare not question any of her decisions in the future because they were apprehensive, but also allowed Fu'an and them to gradually see her methods. Her goal was naturally achieved, so she had no reason to deal with Fu'an and them.

When he arrived at the Qianji Battalion, Yan Xi was familiar with the way and took a few people from Fu'an to the base. When the people in the base saw Yan Xi coming, their expressions were different. Some watched a good show, some were full of disdain, and some couldn't hide their anger and were discovered by Yan Xi.

Being looked at by so many people with these unfriendly eyes, Fu'an and the others only felt uncomfortable all over their bodies. glanced up at Yan Xi, only to see her continue to walk forward calmly, as if she was not aware of the unfriendly gaze of these people at all.

When he arrived at the room of yesterday's test organ, Yan Xi pushed the door and entered. Except for the two mechanics on duty, there was no figure to be found in the room. The room was deserted, and it was impossible to find half a minute of the bustle of yesterday's test mechanism.

Seeing Yan Xi coming, the two mechanics on duty only said hello perfunctorily, and then they each lowered their heads and looked at the organ atlas in their hands, no longer paying any attention to Yan Xi and them.

Seeing the attitude of these two people, Fu'an frowned. I wanted to say something, but I remembered that I was just an apprentice in an institution, so I finally kept my mouth shut.

Yan Xi didn't care, and walked straight to the mechanism array that had been half destroyed by her and hadn't had time to repair it.

"Fu'an, find me a sword." Yan Xi took a turn in the array and glanced back at Fu'an.

Fuan nodded and ran out. After only a few breaths, Fu'an trotted back with a sword.

Yan Xi took the sword handed over by Fu'an, and with a slight rotation of his wrist, the long sword pulled out a few beautiful sword flowers. Subsequently, Yan Xi transmitted the internal force to the sword body and danced the sword in the trap array. Every move and every move of hers landed accurately in the place where various mechanisms were buried in the trap array.

Seeing that Yan Xi was about to destroy this trap array, the two mechanics on duty finally changed their faces. got up suddenly, and was about to walk into the array to stop what Yan Xi was doing.

However, before they could get closer, they were stopped.

"Stop them!" Fu An snorted softly, and the nine people behind him stepped forward one after another, surrounding the two organs on duty.

"You are so bold!" was blocked from the way, and the two organ masters on duty scolded Fu'an and the others with red faces.

"Two adults, please stop your anger." Fu'an said respectfully, but he didn't have any intention of getting out of the way.

"Do you know that this formation is the hard work of the Thousand Machine Battalion for three months, and it was destroyed in one fell swoop, can you afford the loss above?" Seeing that the faces of Fu'an and the others changed slightly, the two agency divisions on duty continued to shout angrily, "If you don't want to be expelled from the Thousand Machines Battalion, get out of the way!" If this trap can't be saved, no one can save you. ”

Fu An took a deep breath, looked at the two mechanics with angry faces, and said, "Camp Commander Liu asked me to obey the princess's orders, and asked the two adults not to be embarrassed. Unless the princess orders us, we must not let the two adults in. ”

"You...... You guys...... Yes, yes! The two organ masters on duty saw that Fu'an and the others looked like they were not going to eat oil and salt, and their faces were red with anger. Pointing at them, he couldn't even say a word of curse.

Seeing that the trap array had been almost destroyed by Yan Xi, the two trap masters on duty left angrily.

After Yan Xi destroyed all the mechanisms in the trap array, he turned around and walked out of the trap array. When he handed the long sword to Fu'an, he didn't forget to smile and praise, "Good job!" ”

The smile on Fu'an's face hadn't even climbed up to his eyebrows, and the voices of the two departing guards came from behind him.

"Battalion Commander Liu, this array is the hard work of our Thousand Machine Battalion for three months, how can they ......" The words of the two on-duty organ divisions were full of helplessness and heartache.
