Ouyang Xiu's heart bulged when he saw Zeng Qingfeng, he came out so quickly, he must have failed to refine!

This is a five-grade elixir!

Where can it be successfully refined so quickly?

He was already mentally prepared, so he didn't blame Zeng Qingfeng, but took the initiative to speak:

"Brother Zeng, forget if you fail, let's continue to collect medicinal herbs next time..."

"Who's to say it's a failure?"

Zeng Qingfeng showed a bright smile, and as soon as his palm was flipped, more than a dozen pills that radiated brilliance appeared in his palm.

Ouyang Xiu's divine sense swept away, and he immediately said excitedly:

"It's really the Xuanbing Spirit Pill, there are twelve of them, and they are all perfect level! Brother Zeng, is this really what you refined with a stick of incense? ”

"Of course, if it weren't for wasting some time sorting out the medicinal herbs, my refining time would have been even shorter."

Zeng Qingfeng's words made Ouyang Xiu think of adults, he had heard before that pills above the fifth grade not only took a long time to refine, but also had a great failure rate.

The higher the grade of the elixir, the higher the failure rate!

He had already been mentally prepared for the failure of refining before, and even if he succeeded, he would be able to accept even if it was just a low-grade Xuanbing Spirit Pill.

Unexpectedly, Zeng Qingfeng not only succeeded in refining it once, but also perfect-level, and the number was also amazing.

In terms of the success rate and quality of this refining, Zeng Qingfeng absolutely killed all the alchemists of the same level in seconds.

The most important thing is that Zeng Qingfeng is still very young --- has unlimited potential in the future

He didn't know that Zeng Qingfeng's strength also surpassed him, otherwise he would definitely suspect that he had cultivated to the dog for hundreds of years before.

Zeng Qingfeng didn't feel complacent, because these things were originally normal to him.

He is only a seventh-grade alchemist now, and there are eighth-rank, ninth-grade, grandmaster, and divine products on it.

So he still has a long way to go, and there is nothing to show off at all.

But he didn't know that even if a grandmaster-level alchemist refined a five-grade pill, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to refine a perfect-grade pill!

"Brother Ouyang, you put away the pill first, and then take the pill to cultivate when you come back from the Marshal's Mansion!"

"I understand! Brother Zeng, I'll go to the court now to see if my brother and sister need help! ”

Ouyang Xiu always felt that he wanted to do something for Zeng Qingfeng and Wu Mei'er, otherwise he would not be able to express his gratitude at all.

Zeng Qingfeng didn't stop it, now there are few loyal ministers in the court, let alone dare to confront the prime minister in person, you can imagine how much pressure Wu Meier has.

"Then trouble Brother Ouyang to help my wife as much as he can!"

"It should be! In the future, the eldest brother will cover you, and I won't send you to the eldest brother, I'll go first. ”

After Ouyang Xiu finished speaking, he arched his hand, and the next moment he teleported and disappeared.

He didn't know that Zeng Qingfeng's strength had surpassed him, otherwise he wouldn't dare to say anything to cover the couple.

"This Brother Ouyang is really urgent."

Zeng Qingfeng couldn't help but smile, then turned around and walked towards the dormitory.

Of course he won't go back to sleep, he still has a lot to do to help Wu Mei'er.

At this time, above the main hall, Wu Meier's face was a little pale.

Prime Minister Lu Shangrong was pressing forward step by step at this time, and he did not have the slightest respect in the face of Wu Meier:

"Your Majesty the Empress, you should give an order as soon as possible about the allocation of grain, grass and military salaries to the border! Without enough food and grass, how can a soldier fight against a foreign enemy? ”

"Think about this matter again!"

Wu Mei'er was a little annoyed, Lu Shangrong said that he was allocating military salaries and grain and grass to Marshal Mu's army in the north, but he had just transferred a large amount of military salaries and grain and grass half a year ago.

The same army in the east, west, and south did not need so many military supplies!

And at present, the treasury is empty, and she can't afford to give so many military supplies to the border.

If you agree, you must deduct it from the military quarters in the Imperial City Guards, and the Imperial City Guards will definitely be unstable.

If he refuses, the prime minister will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble and lead the officials to continue to force the palace...

Sure enough, Lu Shangrong saw that she didn't agree immediately, so he immediately took two steps forward and said:

"Your Majesty the Empress, the so-called battle between the two armies goes first. You can think about it, but the enemy won't give us time to think about it! You better order it as soon as possible! ”

Behind him, a group of civil and military officials also took two steps forward and asked for a performance:

"Please also ask Your Majesty to give an order as soon as possible!"

This is simply a bit of a forced palace, Wu Mei'er was furious in her heart, but she can't take down all these officials, right?

Just when she was in a dilemma, a deep voice sounded, making all the officials' faces change:

"The empress said to think about it, do you not understand the words or do you want to resist the decree?"

The next moment, a figure appeared in front of the official.

Some officials are cultivated, especially some military attachés, who were all shocked when they saw the old man in front of them.

The prime minister's face turned even pale, he had seen Ouyang Xiu, so he hurriedly saluted and said:

"Ouyang worship, I didn't expect to alarm you!"

Ouyang Xiu has served three generations of emperors, and of course he has seen a big man like him.

But I also heard that Ouyang Xiu had already had the idea of leaving Chang'an City, and he would not obey Wu Mei'er's dispatch on weekdays, how could he be here today?

A bad premonition rose in his heart, and Ouyang Xiu's sudden appearance broke his previous plan.

Sure enough, Ouyang Xiu snorted coldly and said:

"I've recently encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation, so I want to come out and do activities, and I told Mei'er girl last night that I have recently arranged some things for me to do activities."

Hearing this, Lu Shangrong and the officials all changed their faces, is this worship of the Enlightenment Realm going to come out from behind the curtain and officially help the empress?

Lu Shangrong couldn't grasp Ouyang Xiu's thoughts, so he could only look at Wu Mei'er and say:

"What do you mean, Empress..."

Wu Mei'er saw Ouyang Xiu standing like a mountain in front of her, and her heart became full of confidence:

"Didn't I just say that I will think about the border matter for a few days! If Marshal Mu can't hold on, it can only show that he is incompetent! ”

"Yes!"

When Lu Shangrong heard this, he could only bow and retreat with a black face, and a big drama of forcing the palace was disturbed by Ouyang Xiu, and Lu Shangrong and the officials could only grit their teeth secretly.

But even if Ouyang Xiu stood there and didn't speak, everyone didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Seeing that everyone had nothing important to do, Wu Meier quickly announced her retirement from the dynasty.

After all the officials left, leaving only Chang Rongsheng on standby, Wu Mei'er stood up and walked in front of Ouyang Xiu and said:

"Thank you Brother Ouyang for your help, if you hadn't appeared in time, I really don't know what to do...."

If the prime minister's request was agreed, the treasury would be seriously depleted, and the money and materials could only be withheld from the Imperial City Guards.

After a long time, it will definitely cause instability in the morale of the army.

If taxes are raised to fill the national treasury, it will also cause instability and social unrest.

At this time, someone suddenly rebelled, and who would still give the emperor his life to the imperial city guards?

Therefore, the prime minister's trick is very vicious, he just wants to empty the treasury and make Wu Meier lose the military and people's hearts.

Ouyang Xiu waved his hand when he heard this, and said:

"We are all our own people, brother and sister, you are welcome! Now let's discuss yesterday's plans..."
