Chapter Ninety-Six: Under the Walls
"Exactly. The official smiled, "Of the six countries in the world, the only ones who can be famous for making weapons are the public losers of the Xu State and the Mo family of the Qi Kingdom." Most of the new weapons used by the Ministry of War today are also from the hands of the Mo family. β
"I see, but why doesn't she just call Mo Gongzi?"
"Because the Mo family's stunts are passed on to men but not to women. The other party lowered his voice and said, "It's not a secret, after all, a woman wants to get married, and once she teaches her skills, she is likely to be leaked out by her husband's family." And these stunts are the key to maintaining the status of the Mo family, how can they be willing to spread it? Not to mention the Mo family, the vast majority of people who have a unique skill will follow this convention. β
"Definitely. β
"However, our adult is not an ordinary woman, she has not only been interested in making weapons since she was a child, but she has also awakened the ability to sense qi, and the level at hand is much stronger than many men in the family. After learning that the family's stunts were passed on to men and not women, the adults left the family directly and broke a way with their own talents. So as long as she is not in a formal setting, she will not mention her surname, and the title of Yun Gongzi comes from this. β
"There is still such an encounter. The guard sighed in his heart, it seems that the other party did not climb to today's position smoothly.
"That's right, the officials of the Ministry of Works, at least her colleagues in the Machinery Bureau, admire her, but it's a pity that she ......."
"What a pity?"
She was disgusted by the rumored that men don't wear women, and decided not to marry for the rest of her life. The official sighed, his tone full of regret.
After the two chatted for about a quarter of an hour, Yun Gongzi reappeared in front of them.
So fast!
Is this the formal style of the Ministry of Industry?
"Let's go. Mo Yun said.
"Uh...... Childe doesn't have to send it off," seeing her so polite corporal, the guards were a little embarrassed, "Just give the letter to the lower officer, and I will definitely send it to the princess." β
"I just believe it, so hurry on the road. β
"Okay...... Huh?" the guard was stunned, "You're going to Jinxia?"
The official surnamed Xiao was also stupid, "My lord, what's going on?"
"Naturally, it's something that can't be explained with pen and paper. She frowned and said, "What's so strange about this, isn't it normal for officials from the Ministry of Industry to visit other places? β
"But I've heard...... The new maker you led is in a critical stage, and now that you are gone, isn't it possible that you will not be able to catch up with the curiosity appreciation meeting in late autumn? β
"So what, Lord Xiao, do you think I can't tell which is more important? On one side it is just an appreciation meeting, and on the other side it is related to the fate of Her Royal Highness the Princess, how do you think I should choose?"
The fate of the three princesses?
As soon as these words came out, not only the other party, but even the guards were startled.
He hurriedly thought about the situation in Jinxia City, but he couldn't think of any serious problems for a while.
"Anyway, I have to go to Jinxia City. There are still a few months to go until the end of autumn, and it will not be a problem to try to catch up with the progress later, but if I have distractions, it will be useless to give as much time as I want. Master Xiao, I've made it so clear, do you understand?"
"Okay......" the other party had to say helplessly, "Then you must come back early." β
"It's nature. With that, Mo Yun looked at the guard, "So now we can go, right?"
......
At the same time, Luo Qing also received two letters from Luo Tang.
"I'm guessing you can't imagine who sent the other letter. Luo Tang's mysterious appearance was still in front of her, and when she opened the cover, she was indeed quite surprised, but she didn't expect that the person who came to the letter turned out to be Xia Fan. It stands to reason that it is impossible for him to contact him alone, and if he can send a letter with Luo You'er, it means that he and his sister are in the same city.
She had planned to wait until the evening to return to her lodgings to read it again, but curiosity prevailed. She rarely found a gap and opened the letter while the fourth prince was taking a nap.
"Senior sister sees the letter. γ
"I was going to write to you as soon as I got to the assigned place, but I didn't expect to encounter a lot of things as soon as I arrived. γ
"First there was evil in the surrounding counties, and thenβ" The place was drawn in ink, "I can't go into too much detail in the letter, it's a great deal anyway. It turned out that the responsibility of the Privy Council Priest was so great and so precipitous, and those trainings in Youzhou Mansion were simply too easy compared to it. The first time I dealt with the Evil Spirit, I was almost killed, and I honestly was thinking about the afterlife. γ
Phew, this kind of thing can't be written in a letter. Lowe lightly planned to burn the letter later, so as not to become a prophecy. At the same time, she was also a little annoyed with Xia Fan, he should have been at the scene at the time, how could he let his junior sister fall into such a dangerous situation?
"But don't blame the thieves," Luo You'er mentioned in the next sentence, "In the end, thanks to him and Sister Li, we were able to successfully slay the evil and live up to the expectations of the county people. γ
Wait, who is Sister Li?
Luo lightly lingered on this sentence for a few more breaths.
And why do you call each other sister so quickly?
She suddenly felt that her senior sister status was shaking slightly.
"What I didn't expect was that even Princess Guangping became a member of the Fang Shi later, and she fought side by side with us! Is there really such a princess in Qiguo? It feels like it's written in the book, it's incredible. γ
"Because of this incident, everyone has been promoted, Xia Fan is already a fifth-grade tester in the Privy Council, I have to say, this guy's luck is really a little good, I am a little envious of him. But I've also been promoted by one level, and now I'm a seven-rank guard, so I shouldn't be too far behind you, right?"
"Of course, I'm definitely not as good as my senior sister, Qipin can already serve as a judge according to the rules, and perform some less important evil tasks alone, but I don't even dare to go out of Jinxia's city gate alone, if only you could be by my side." γ
"In addition, although the incident in the county has been resolved, the local situation has not improved at all, and I am afraid that there will be many troubles waiting for us in the future. But don't worry, sister, I will redouble my efforts, and when this matter is over, I will take the time to go to Gyeonggi to see you, and you have to invite me to eat all the food in the city." γ
"Looking forward to your reply, Loyoer. γ
Seven-Rank Fangshi...... The little girl who always seems to be lacking roots is now gradually becoming a person who can take charge of herself. Luo lightly felt a sigh of emotion in his heart.
She shook her head, pressed the distraction into her heart, and pulled out a second letter.
The content of Xia Fan's writing is very simple, even the written language is no different from what she usually speaks, so that when she reads the letter, the other party seems to be nagging in her ear. In addition to introducing himself to the Ministry of Command, the second half of the main content is basically complaining and asking for help.
There is no one in the Privy Council, and he is running away, as if it will not be long before the Privy Council of Jinxia City will be closed. Although he didn't know exactly what was going on over there, his need for help was real.
To be honest, Luo Qing was a little happy at the moment, but full of regret.
Happily, the other party's talent has never been buried, and he was promoted to the command department in a short time, and Jin Xiacheng should be quite peaceful in the future.
Unfortunately, she was unable to respond to the other party's request.
At least not until he stepped down as a royal sorcerer guard.
Concubine Luo is not open-mouthed, this position is indeed rare, and it will be envied and admired by others when she says it, but ...... It was a very different path than she had envisioned.
What she wants is not to be relaxed and comfortable, but to use her knowledge and ability to make the order of this world better.
If Xia Fan had spoken earlier, would she have agreed to the other party?
Luo gently tucked the letter into his belt, looked up, and looked into the distanceβ
But wherever she looked, her gaze was blocked by the high white walls that were used to defend the inner courtyard of the palace.
