Chapter 67: The Battle for Drawings

"Your Highness, something happened." Meng Peiliang, who had returned to the post house, stood at the door of Nangong Changming's room with a bow, and said in a slightly depressed tone.

There was a ping-pong sound in the room.

Meng Peiliang tried to persuade, "Your Highness, we have one more chance." Tonight, during the state banquet, His Royal Highness can ask the three questions designed by Weichen to the five princesses in public, and see how she answers when the time comes! ”

"Is it reliable?" Nangong Changming's tone was full of disbelief and displeasure.

Obviously, he no longer attaches importance to Meng Peiliang, and the idea of winning him over before is completely gone.

"Reliable!" Meng Peiliang heard Nangong Changming's unkind tone, and his face was full of disdain, but his answer was still respectful.

At this time, a guard came up from the first floor to report, "Your Highness, a person who claims to be a subordinate of the Empress Dowager asks to see Your Highness!" ”

"Biography!"

The guards went down to spread the word, and Meng Peiliang had to retreat obediently first.

The person invited by the princess is a woman, although she is over half a hundred years old, she is an old man, and her fierce and sharp facial features can see at a glance the city's government and scheming.

"The old man has seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Who are you in the Queen's Mansion?"

The woman bowed and replied, "The second housekeeper in the house." When he got up, he glanced at Nangong Changming, and there was no despicability in his eyes, only a sense of scrutiny.

Nangong Changming could feel that this person was not very respectful to himself, so naturally he did not have a good impression of this person and the imperial princess.

"What is the so-called thing about coming today?"

"Back to Your Highness, I want to make an exchange with Your Highness on the orders of the Empress Dowager. I heard that His Highness has an extremely powerful gunpowder blueprint in his hand.

Our Highness has an extremely powerful mecha blueprint in his hand. Why don't you exchange two and take what you need? ”

Prior to this, the Great Qi Imperial Family knew very little about the mecha drawings, but Nangong Changming came here to exchange the drawings, so after a long time, they all knew about it.

"Will the drawings really be in the hands of your Highness, don't you be a white wolf with empty gloves?"

The woman's face stiffened slightly, but quickly hidden, "It's really in your hands." My Royal Highness knew that the prince didn't believe it, so I only allowed me to show half of it to His Highness. ”

The woman said, pulling out half a piece of paper from her sleeve.

Nangong Changming spread it out and took a closer look, and sure enough, it was a mecha drawing, with a drawing and explanation of the mecha bearing, as well as various gear installations, but it was unknown what was going to be installed.

Because the drawings are gone, it is clear that the answer lies in the other half of the drawings.

However, there are no drawings with answers, and Nangong Changming doesn't dare to believe it, "What you have in your hand is a real mecha blueprint?" ”

"How dare you be fake!" The woman spoke very firmly, because Nangong Changming's question made her sure that the other party was a person who didn't understand machinery, so she was confident in both tone and attitude, and it sounded as if she was really confident.

Although Nangong Changming didn't understand, he wouldn't be convinced, the reason why he asked this was just to arouse what he wanted to ask below.

"Since it's a real drawing, why do you have to exchange it privately at this time. Tonight is a big country banquet, isn't it good to exchange in public at the banquet?

And don't your Majesty have the same intention? Why does the princess still make her own decisions? It doesn't make sense, does it? ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, and she couldn't answer.

Nangong Changming didn't give her time to answer, but suddenly called the guards, "Come on, drag this evil servant in the name of the empress to the empress!" ”

The woman's light flashed fiercely, and she pushed out the door to run.

The guards had already rushed up from the first floor, and there was only one way down the second floor, and the guards occupied the way downstairs, and the woman had no choice, so she ran back to Nangong Changming's house, rushed through his defenses, and jumped out of the window behind him.

Nangong Changming made a few moves with the woman, but he didn't expect that the woman's martial arts were extremely high, so she broke through Nangong Changming's encirclement and jumped out.

When the guards came up, they had already run away, and they had to hurry down again to catch up.

At this time, there was another report outside, saying that someone was looking for it.

However, this person did not say his identity, and only reported his home until he entered the house, saying that he was the person of the Three Princesses, and he also took the drawings to change the drawings.

Nangong Changming thought it was interesting, "You all said that you all had half a mecha blueprint in your hand. Could it be that there are several of the top mecha drawings of the Great Qi Kingdom, or is it just one, but it is just a coincidence that it happens to be in the hands of the two princesses? ”

The man was startled, and realized that someone had used the same plan before the head.

He was ordered by the imperial concubine to use the name of the three princesses to empty the gloves of the white wolf, so the one just now should have been ordered by the three princesses to use the imperial princess.

After thinking about this, this man had an idea, and quickly claimed, "This one in the minion's hand is real." If Your Highness doesn't believe it, the servant can show you the whole picture. ”

Minion? Nangong Changming raised his eyebrows, he had a good impression of this slave who called himself a slave, at least he was very respectful in terms of title.

The man took out the entire drawing, but did not give it to Nangong Changming to take a closer look, but just took it himself and let him take a look at it not far away.

Nangong Changming looked at it, the drawing was a mecha toad, the toad's legs were very flexible, it could expand and jump at will, and the toad had a rotating key on its back, as long as it was twisted slightly, the toad would jump, jump.

But the point is, where the gunpowder should be placed. Although he didn't understand the specific drawings, since he wanted to load gunpowder, he had to have a dark groove, which was common sense. Obviously, this person was seen through the trick by himself, and he had no choice but to take risks, trying to fool himself!

Nangong Changming was furious, "Come on, drag this person who calls himself the Third Empress to the empress!" ”

The guards immediately caught up, and after the lessons of the previous failure, this time the guards divided into two groups, one at the bottom and one at the top, and worked together to encircle and suppress this person.

This person was also the same as the previous person, rushed out of the house, rushed in again, and fought with Nangong Changming, but after jumping downstairs, he was immediately surrounded by guards, and finally had no choice, so he bit his tongue and committed suicide.

At this time, the prince of Dongping happened to come, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace when he saw the excitement at the door of the post house.

Nangong Changming happened to come out of the post house, and Dongping looked at him in a daze.

Nangong Chang Mingyuan still had a good impression of him, who was also the prince, but at this time it was gone, "Brother Dongping came today, is it to replace himself or the fifth princess?" ”

Dongping was stunned and understood what he already knew, but his face was still light, hiding his hypocrisy, "I naturally came to find Brother Changming to catch up."

Who is this man? ”

Nangong Changming's eyes were cloudy and he said, "The person who claims to be sent by the Three Imperial Maidens wants to exchange drawings with me privately. But before him, a man who claimed to have been sent by the Empress wanted to exchange with me. Do you think the five princesses will also send someone to exchange with me? ”

The last sentence is full of meaning, and the gaze at Dongping is still vicious, but this gaze is not directed at Dongping, but the five princesses Li Qingqing, Dongping just took it for her.

Dongping's heart was complicated, originally he tried his best to establish a good relationship with Nangong Changming, just to facilitate the exchange of drawings, who would have thought that the two princesses would disrupt his plan, and now he can only say nothing.
