The mechanics of the Thousand Machine Battalion silently had a plan in their hearts. Looking up at each other's faces, they smiled, tacitly.

Yan Xi helped Xiao Zhihan back to the camp tent, carefully checked his pulse, and confirmed that he was only overexerted in physical exertion that led to his current state, and Yan Xi was relieved.

"Sleep for a while, I'll keep watch for you." Yan Xi helped Xiao Zhihan to the bed and covered him with a quilt with gentle movements.

Xiao Zhihan closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Yan Xi sat down in front of the table, picked up the pen, and carefully drew the array of organs arranged in the base of the Thousand Machine Camp on the paper. The formation she arranged, it was impossible for those mechanics of the Thousand Machine Battalion not to be moved, and sooner or later they would come to her to ask her about the details. It just so happens that there is nothing to do now, and drawing the drawings of the array in advance is also a good errand to pass the time.

When Xiao Zhihan woke up, Yan Xi was seriously writing and drawing on the paper. Xiao Zhihan quietly walked behind Yan Xi and looked at what she had drawn on the paper.

Suddenly, a pitch-black figure appeared in Xiao Zhihan's mind.

"Did Ah Ye do the same?" Xiao Zhihan stretched out his hand and picked up a drawn mechanism diagram, and asked without raising his head.

Speaking of Ah Ye, Yan Xi was silent for another moment.

At that time, because she was hunted down by the Medicine King Valley, she met Su Li, and by chance, she learned the location of the general's tomb. It was precisely because she wanted to go to the general's tomb to find out that she created Ah Ye to come out.

It's a pity that Ah Ye couldn't stay with her for too long.

"It's hard for you to remember." Yan Xi glanced up at Xiao Zhihan and said with a smile. Smiling and smiling, Yan Xi seemed to remember something, a hint of suspicion appeared on his face, and asked, "What are your ideas?" ”

Xiao Zhihan raised his head, looked directly into Yan Xi's eyes, and said, "If you can create an army for this king that is all like Ah Ye......"

Xiao Zhihan only said half of this, but Yan Xi understood what he meant.

Ah Ye's strength is obvious to all. If a puppet army is really formed, those who have this puppet army will be invincible!

But......

Yan Xi shook his head, looked at Xiao Zhihan and said, "It's not that easy." Before, Ah Ye's drive relied on the Tianyuan Rune Stone, and so far, I have only seen one in Su Li's hands. In addition to this, making a puppet requires ......"

Listening to what Yan Xi said about the materials for making puppets, Xiao Zhihan was silent for a long time. After a long time, Xiao Zhihan said in a low voice, "I'll talk about this later." ”

On the other side, a lot of changes have also taken place in the Thousand Machines Battalion.

After coming out of the base, the mechanics of the Thousand Machines Battalion no longer stayed in the Thousand Machines Battalion all day long, but as soon as they had the effort, they went to Xiao Zhihan's camp tent to surround Yan Xi.

In addition to the people of the Qianji Battalion, Jiang Xiuwen and Feng Miao also came to look for Yan Xi all day long, one for the training plan of the Second Department of Xungen, and the other for the business tips of the Second Department of Kan Zhen. Even Chen Xu and Chen Dong, who were separated from the second department, often ran over to compete with them for Yan Xi's time. It's just because when he was chatting before, Yan Xi inadvertently talked about the collection of intelligence, which may be combined with some industries of the Second Department of Kanzhen. This made Chen Su Chen Dong interested, and when he was free, he came over to ask Yan Xi for advice.

Yan Xi has never been a loser, and she is not unwilling to let her help these people. It's just that her time is limited, and everyone wants it, so she can only get it with the highest price.

For Yan Xi's play, the most proud of them are Feng Miao and Feng Jun of Kan Zhen's Second Division, they are already in charge of the finances of the eight departments of the Ming Palace, and they naturally have money in their hands. Therefore, in the first few days, Yan Xi's time was almost occupied by them.

However, their monopoly has caused dissatisfaction among several other departments. After the consultation, the commanders of those departments actually united and united to seize Yan Xi's time, and then divided the day into several parts, and they shared them separately.

In this way, Feng Miao and Feng Jun completely lost their advantage. often watched Yan Xi be brought into the camp tent by those people, gritting his teeth angrily, but he couldn't get anything.

Yan Xi and the others were in the Qingfeng Cliff, and a small thing happened in the capital.

Outside the Taiqian Hall that day, Gonggong Yang took Yan Rou away from the Praetorian Guards, and in order to block the mouth of Youyou, Xiao Deyong claimed that he still had something to interrogate Yan Rou.

However, not long after Xiao Zhihan and Yan Xi left the capital, the news of Yan Rou's death came out of the palace.

"What, Yan Rou is dead?" When Xiao Chenyu heard the news, he was in a favorite concubine's room.

Xiao Chenyu hurriedly asked the pet concubine to serve him and put on his clothes and walked outside the room. Looking at the guards who came to deliver the news, Xiao Chenyu's brows furrowed tightly.

"The news from the palace said that the woman injured the emperor when the emperor interrogated her. The emperor was furious and killed the woman on the spot. The guard lowered his head and told Xiao Chenyu the news he had just discovered.

"What about the corpses?" A dark light flashed in Xiao Chenyu's eyes and asked.

The guard was silent for a moment, took a breath, and continued, "In order to appease the emperor's anger, that woman's body has been crushed and scattered. ”

Xiao Chenyu glared at the guard in front of him with his head down, his eyes full of disbelief.

Did Yan Rou die like this? When his father took Yan Rou away for private interrogation, he thought that his father would save her life because of Yan Rou's status as a phoenix girl. Unexpectedly, that woman's life was so thin, but in just a few days, she ended up with such a miserable end.

Regarding Yan Rou's death, Xiao Chenyu was more or less unhappy in his heart.

Although Yan Rou's appearance was ruined, she also repeatedly messed up the things he confessed. But as long as she is a phoenix girl, there is a use value. It's a pity to die like this.

Xiao Chenyu raised his head and looked in the direction of the palace, a touch of pity flashed in his eyes.

Imperial Palace, Jin'an Courtyard.

Yan Rou was lying on the bed soaked in the strong smell of medicine, and her whole body was wrapped in blood-stained gauze. An unbearable murmur of pain came out of her mouth, making the body of the palace maid standing by the bed trembling and removing the gauze around her body, and her movements became softer and gentler.

"Girl, but the slave is a little heavier?" Seeing that Yan Rou snorted again, the palace maid asked cautiously.

"It doesn't matter." Yan Rou clutched the sheets under her tightly with both hands, enduring the pain of peeling her skin and cramping. On his forehead, cold sweat gradually oozed from the pain. In order not to let the sweat wet the wounds on her body, Yan Rou grabbed the clean handkerchief placed on the side and carefully wiped the sweat drops.

"The girl's life is really good, the slave maid listened to the imperial doctor, in order to heal the girl's injuries, the emperor used the rare thousand-year-old rejuvenating grass hidden in the treasury for many years."

The palace maid changed Yan Rou's medicine while talking to divert Yan Rou's attention.

Yan Rou's eyes flickered, and she didn't answer the palace maid's words. The brain was constantly running, the emperor's intention to treat her like this.

The palace maid removed the blood-stained gauze on Yan Rou's body layer by layer, took the medicine jar placed next to the bed, and applied the ointment inside to Yan Rou's whole body little by little. After all the ointments were absorbed, the palace maid took the clean gauze on the side and bandaged Yan Rou again.

After working for about half an hour, the palace maid finally bandaged Yan Rou's whole body again. At this time, Yan Rou, except for a pair of eyes, nostrils for her to breathe and lips for speaking, her whole body was like a mummy, and she was tightly wrapped.

"Girl, the doctor said that the injuries on your body have recovered very well, and you can return to the most primitive appearance with a few more changes to the medicine." The palace maid opened the doors and windows, and the smell of medicine in the room was spread. and treated the gauze that he had just changed and the water that cleaned Yan Rou's wounds, and then walked to Yan Rou's bedside and talked to Yan Rou.

"Chunhua, tell me about what has happened in the past few days!" Yan Rou lay on the bed and said with some difficulty.

The burning sensation on her body forced her to find something to pass the time.

"What do you want to hear? Inside the palace, or outside the palace? Chunhua held a fan and fanned Yan Rou absentmindedly. Seeing that Yan Rou's spirit was much better than after changing the dressing a few days ago, she asked softly.

"Everything." Yan Rou replied a little impatiently.

Chunhua didn't notice Yan Xi's impatience, and thought about what had happened in the past few days in her mind, and after sorting it out a little, she said to Yan Rou, "I heard a few palace maids on duty in the Taiqian Palace say that a few days ago, His Royal Highness King Ming collided with the emperor again, and was locked up by the emperor angrily. Moreover, the person who went to guard the Ming Palace, or the right general of the Praetorian Guard who had always been at odds with His Royal Highness the Ming King......"

After listening to Chunhua's rambling for a long time, Yan Rou didn't hear anything about her. Frowning, he took the initiative to ask, "Is there anything about me?" ”

Chunhua was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Yan Rou with some hesitation.

Yan Rou didn't hear Chunhua's voice for a long time, and looked sideways, only to see Chunhua's hesitation. Yan Rou said, "It's okay if it's inconvenient for you to say, I'll just ask casually." ”

Hearing Yan Rou's words, Chunhua suddenly knelt beside Yan Rou's bed and kowtowed vigorously, "Girl, Chunhua doesn't want to die, please save Chunhua." ”

Yan Rou was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

After calming down a bit, Chunhua continued, "When the slave maid went to the Tai Hospital to get medicine for the girl, I heard several medical officers from the Tai Doctor Department talk about it, saying that the emperor had already announced the girl's death......

Chunhua has been in the palace for a few years, and she is used to seeing the unsightly flies and dogs in this deep palace. Therefore, when she heard that the emperor had announced Yan Rou's death, she knew her own fate.

She didn't know what the emperor's plan was to keep Yan Rou, but she knew very well that the emperor would never allow an insider like her to stay alive.

Yan Rou heard Chunhua's crying request, but in an instant, she understood what she was referring to.

Did the emperor announce that she was dead?

Frowning, Yan Rou's brain was running rapidly, thinking about what Xiao Deyong's purpose was in doing this. But after thinking about it, Yan Rou couldn't think clearly. However, she is sure that no matter what Xiao Deyong wants to do, it will definitely be inseparable from her identity as a phoenix girl.

In this case, she has to confirm the identity of the Feng Girl!

"Girl?" Seeing that Yan Rou didn't move, Chunhua raised her head and shouted tentatively.

Yan Rou came back to her senses, chuckled, and comforted Chunhua, "If I can survive, I will definitely help you intercede with the emperor." ”

"Thank you, girl." Chunhua gratefully kowtowed to Yan Rou by the bedside, and said incoherently, "If Chunhua is lucky enough to survive, she will serve the girl loyally and go to the soup to fight the fire." ”

"You get up first." The corners of Yan Rou's mouth hooked a smile with a bit of calculation, and she said softly.

Chunhua kowtowed to Yan Rou again before getting up from the ground. Holding the fan in his hand, he fanned Yan Rou more carefully.
