Chapter 199: A Month Later

Normally, he went to work at the end of the day, and Ning Ze was busy in the study late at night.

Liu Yuanxiang brought Mi Yan over, and saw that he was concentrating on reviewing the official documents, and he didn't start preparing for the "air boat" at all, so he was a little worried, so he stepped forward and asked softly: "Husband, didn't you say that you would prepare the air boat within a month?"

Ning Ze put down the official document for the time being, raised his head and replied: "In my spare time during the day, I have already instructed Song Gao and Xiao Wuzhong to purchase all kinds of materials, and after the official document is approved, I will slowly draw the drawings." ”

"Could it be that the husband wants to stay up all night again?" Liu Yuanxiang frowned, "This is not good." ”

"No," Ning Ze said with a smile, "It will take about 1 hour more to draw the picture after approving the official document, and it will be completed in a few days." I'm not a god, so I can only sleep a little less for the time being, and I'll be fine after this time. Go and rest first, and don't wait for me. ”

"Oh!" Mi Yan turned around obediently, but was pulled by Liu Yuanxiang.

Liu Yuanxiang turned to Ning Ze and hugged Mi Yan's arm tightly: "Husband, Duke Chu is obviously embarrassed by you, and he doesn't want to marry Lord Chu." Although the condensation into ice is magical, at least I can understand that it is all the work of the saltpeter. But how can this ship go to the sky without spells?"

"Of course, you won't understand what I'm saying. Ning Ze replied, "This is a bit complicated, you don't have a foundation in this area, and you need to understand it little by little in the future." There's no need to worry, a month is completely sufficient, let people decorate the mansion early, and then bring the beauty over. ”

"Hmm~" Liu Yuanxiang nodded slightly, she now has absolute trust in Ning Ze. Since he said yes, he can do it.

persuaded Liu Yuanxiang and Mi Yan to go back to the room to rest, Ning Ze finally finished reading the official document, immediately recalled and began to draw a hot air balloon composition diagram, and then used his super high intelligence to calculate and improve.

Chu Xun didn't believe that Ning Ze could sail in the air, but he also paid close attention and found that the other party's daily routine had not changed, and he was busy with political affairs every day. Although there are henchmen who buy and order all kinds of things at high prices, most of them are relatively common items, and there is nothing unusual. Such as animal skins, various fabrics, ropes, bamboo baskets, sandbags, etc., it is said that people really gather the best carpenters in Huashire to build a small wooden boat. However, this wooden boat is different from the usual ones, with a unique shape and not that long.

All the materials were purchased in large quantities, and it seems that a lot of them are needed.

No matter how you toss, how to make the boat fly into the sky without spells? Chu Xun didn't believe it, feeling that Ning Ze was either doing useless work, or he just wanted to use spells to cheat.

In short, all you have to do is keep an eye on him and don't allow any cheating. Once he found out, he had an excuse to directly sentence Ning Ze to lose, so that he could no longer beat his baby daughter's idea.

Why does Chu's daughter want to be a partial wife for others? Some young talents are willing to marry her as a regular wife, so why worry about not finding the best conditions?

In the past seven days, I only saw Ning Ze's henchmen buying all kinds of materials everywhere, and the warehouses of the Princess Mansion were almost piled up, and I didn't see any action from Ning Ze.

On the eighth day, Ning Ze still hadn't changed, and he was still busy with official business.

Chu Xunxin said that the so-called air boat is impossible to make.

Even Chu Meiren, who was full of confidence in Ning Ze, also showed an anxious expression in the past two days, and after so many days in the blink of an eye, he hadn't seen any action from Ning Ze, and when he asked him face-to-face, he only got the words "don't worry", and didn't say anything else.

She didn't want Ning Ze to lose, otherwise she would have to follow her father's arrangement and choose a stranger who she probably wouldn't see each other before marriage to marry.

So I went to Liu Yuanxiang and Mi Yan every day, hoping to inquire from the side.

Probably Ning Ze confessed, so he couldn't get useful information, and the two girls also answered the same, so that Chu Meiren could wait with peace of mind.

However, it was also mentioned that the princess's mansion was preparing for the wedding, which was to make her feel at ease, which meant that Ning Ze had arranged it, and she would be given a surprise when the time came.

So Chu Meiren was a little relieved.

The gambling contract between Chu Xun and Ning Ze has been spread all over Huajun.

Not only civil and military officials, but even the people of the city were very curious, whether Ning Ze could solve Chu Xun's last problem without using "spells" and take out the "air boat".

However, with so many pairs of eyes staring, there was no way to see that Ning Ze was nervous in the slightest, and even he didn't put down his official duties, he was still busy to death every day, how could he fulfill the gambling contract?

I don't know who started to spread it, but every night there was a strange knocking sound in the princess's mansion, and it was still lit up in the early morning.

Could it be that he secretly cast a spell at night, but this is not a violation of the gambling contract, is Ning Ze losing?

All kinds of speculations have popped up, if it weren't for the curfew at night and the princess's mansion is heavily guarded, I'm afraid that countless curious people will go to explore at night.

After that, there were various rumors that someone saw a fire rising in the direction of the princess's mansion from the window in the early morning, and it was not clear in the dark. There are also rumors that there are demons in the princess's mansion at night, and a huge black shadow falls into the mansion, causing bursts of wailing.

In short, there are all kinds of rumors, which arouse everyone's curiosity.

Chu Xun was the same, he couldn't figure out what was going on in the princess's mansion in the early hours of the morning, but he did see a faint fire in that direction through the window in the early hours of one morning, swaying gently in the air. It is impossible to confirm the authenticity of the rumors, it is certain that there must be a big job in the princess's mansion, can Ning Ze really make a boat in the air?

No, it can't be! How can a boat go to heaven unless it is a spell? He can't do it, no mortal has ever done it in the past, but legend has it that some gods can travel all over the galaxy by state.

Without using spells, Ning Ze couldn't do it, and if he used spells, even if he failed, no matter how he thought about the other party, it would be futile.

With this in mind, a month is fleeting.

On the day of cashing in the gambling contract, Chu Xun took the initiative to come to the official office and entered the palace after the civil and military officials ordered the discussion.

He first saluted Liu Yuanxiang respectfully, called the princess, and then turned to Ning Ze: "Ning Zhonglang, the deadline has arrived!

Liu Yuanxiang and Mi Yan turned to Ning Ze, and the two of them did not have the slightest worry on their faces, but were quite excited.

Chu Meiren was very nervous, after all, it was the time to decide her fate, and everything depended on whether Ning Ze could solve his father's third problem.

The civil and military officials below were full of curiosity, and everyone stared at Ning Ze with anticipation.

Not to mention them, most of the people of Huajun also paid attention to this side temporarily, and even worked in the fields, chatting with each other about this matter while looking at the city.

Facing Chu Xun, Ning Ze replied with a smile: "Duke Chu can prepare a dowry for the beauty, and he will come to the door to ask for marriage later." ”

When Chu Meiren heard this, her heart trembled, and she bowed her head shyly.

Chu Xun was displeased, looked at Ning Ze and said: "Ning Zhonglang looks full of confidence, can he really do it in the air? The old man has a word first, if he cheats with a spell, Zhonglang will lose!"

"Don't worry about Chu Gong," Ning Ze replied, "You don't need to use spells, you can even explain the truth of air boating to Chu Gong in person, until Chu Gong understands." ”

"That being the case, please be a witness!" Chu Xun was worried in his heart, but if he thought about it carefully, without spells, it would be impossible for mortals to do such a thing. Therefore, he saluted Liu Yuanxiang, "Especially His Highness, I hope to be able to judge fairly!"

"Don't worry about Duke Chu!" Liu Yuanxiang replied, "This palace is not biased, but my military advisor has won the bet, and I also ask Duke Chu to keep his promise." ”

Ning Ze smiled and looked at Liu Yuanxiang's side face, and said in his heart Look at her word, and use the three words "my family" to swear sovereignty!

Chu Xun saw that Ning Ze, Liu Yuanxiang and even Mi Yan were all confident, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. However, he still believed in his own experience and the knowledge in his head, so he responded confidently: "The old man has always kept his promise, please Ning Zhonglang show me the air boat, so that the old man can open his eyes!"

"Okay!" Ning Ze got up and faced the group of civil and military officials, "Today's important official affairs have been properly handled, and some trivial matters will be discussed later." Everyone testified and went to the princess's mansion together. ”

"Whew!!!" all the officials responded in unison, saluting respectfully.

So Ning Ze and Liu Yuanxiang took the lead, and Mi Yan, Chu Meiren, Song Gao, Wang Wei, Chu Xun, Du Wei and all the officials present left the official office and moved towards the princess's mansion.

Outside the gate of the princess's mansion, Ning Ze stopped and clapped his hands and called: "Little Five!"

"Eh!" Liang Wu's voice immediately came from inside the door, and then the door of the princess's mansion quickly opened.

"Get the boat out of the air!"

"Whew!" After receiving Ning Ze's order, Liang Wu immediately took a large number of family members to carry out an original simplified version of the hot air balloon from the mansion.

The frame of this hot air balloon is an ultra-short wooden boat of that quality. In fact, it is a bit like a large wooden barrel, with a balanced bow and stern at both ends, and sandbags hanging around it, which looks particularly weird.

When the civil and military officials at the scene saw it, they all looked confused, looked at each other and talked in low voices.

Chu Xun also looked strange, looked at Ning Ze and asked, "This thing is Ning Zhonglang's so-called air boat?"

While seeing the strange-looking hot air balloon, Chu Meiren's face also changed, where does this look like a ship? And there are so many messy ropes, connected with a large piece of sail that is not like a sail, it is simply a strange thing that can't be weird.

She turned to Ning Ze worriedly, and said in her heart that this thing is really a boat in the air?

Ning Ze smiled and nodded to Chu Xun and replied, "Duke Chu, this is a boat in the air!"

"Oh?" Chu Xun's previous worries were swept away, it was strange that this thing could fly, unless Ning Ze used a spell. If he dares to use it, he will dare to expose it to his face, so he squinted his eyes and said, "Since it is a boat in the air, of course it can fly, right? Ning Zhonglang can't use spells! The old man has been staring at these eyes!"

"Of course!" Ning Ze replied with a smile, "I will never use spells in the next place, and I will definitely let it fly." Little Five!"

"Yes!" Liang Wu immediately went over and lifted the cloth covering the wooden boat, only to see a special furnace inside.

Everyone thought it was even more strange, who would make a furnace on the ship? Could it be that the military advisor still wanted to fly to the sky to strike iron?
