Heaven's Formula

"Okay." The official made a gesture of invitation to him, "Then I will trouble you to wait a little longer."

"It's okay, this is the duty of a subordinate official." The guard followed him indifferently, "By the way, this young lady...what is her origin?"

According to Qiuyue, Ba Xingtian praised him for being able to support an army, but he really couldn't see this.

"I don't know if you have heard that all the exquisite things in the world come from the Mo Gong family?" the official surnamed Xiao said proudly.

This name... is quite familiar.He pondered for a while, then suddenly remembered something, "Wait a minute, you said 'Mo', could it be the Mo family whose name was engraved on the sword?"

Anyone who relies on skill for a living hopes to own a magical weapon, and the best weapons handed down in the world are probably made by the Mohists—the weapons made by their family will be engraved with the family name on the eye-catching parts. The emblem seal, and the swords and soldiers with this mark will be much more expensive for no reason. In addition, their number is scarce, and counterfeit products are emerging in an endless stream, so that the real Mohist sword has become a kind of collectible instead.

Although he had never seen the real thing with his own eyes, he remembered the name of the Mo family.

Chapter 96 Under the Wall

"Exactly." The official chuckled, "Six countries in the world are famous for making weapons, only the losers of Xu State and the Mohists of Qi State. Most of the new weapons used by the Ministry of War today are also made by Mohists."

"I see, but why didn't she just call Mr. Mo?"

"Because the Mohist's unique skills are passed on to men and not to women." The other party lowered his voice, "It's not a secret. Women have to marry after all. Once they teach their unique skills, they are likely to be leaked by their husbands. And these unique skills are maintained by the Mohist family. The key to status, how can you be willing to spread it to outsiders? Let alone the Mohists, the vast majority of people with unique skills will follow this practice."

"really."

"However, our lord is not an ordinary woman. Not only has she been interested in making utensils since she was a child, but she has also awakened the ability to sense Qi, and her level is much better than many men in the family. Knowing that the unique skill of the family is passed on to men After passing on the daughter, the lord left the family directly and made a way out by relying on his own ability. So as long as she is not on a formal occasion, she will not mention her surname, and the title of Mr. Yun came from this."

"There are still such encounters." The guard sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that the other party did not climb to the position he is today without smooth sailing.

"That's right, the officials of the Ministry of Industry—at least the colleagues of the Machinery and Engineering Bureau admire her very much, but it's a pity..."

"What a pity?"

"She was hated by the rumor that men don't wear women's clothing, and she 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, Mr. Yun reappeared in front of them.

So fast!

Is this the way the Ministry of Industry works?

"Let's go." Mo Yun said.

"Uh...you don't have to send it to me, my lord." Seeing her being so courteous and courteous to the corporal, the guards were a little embarrassed, "Just hand over the letter to the lower official, and I will definitely deliver it to the princess."

"I just believe, so hurry up and get on the road."

"Okay...huh?" The guard was stunned, "Are you going to Jinxia?"

The official surnamed Xiao was also dumbfounded, "My lord, what's going on?"

"Of course it's something that can't be explained clearly with paper and pen." She frowned. "What's so strange about this? Isn't it normal for officials from the Ministry of Industry to visit other places? It's not your first day at the Ministry of Industry."

"But I heard... the new tool you led is at a critical stage. Now that you're gone, isn't it possible that you won't be able to catch up with the rare object appreciation meeting at the end of autumn? This time, the public loser has promised to completely defeat you."

"So what, Mr. Xiao, do you think I can't tell which is more important? One is just an appreciation meeting, while the other is related to the fate of Her Royal Highness, how do you think I should choose?"

The fate of the three princesses?

When these words came out, not only the other party, but even the guards were startled.

He quickly recalled the situation in Jinxia City, but he couldn't think of any serious problems for a moment.

"In short, I have to go to Jinxia City. There are still a few months before the end of autumn, and it will not be a problem to work harder to catch up with the progress, but if I have distracting thoughts, it will be useless to give me any more time. Master Xiao, I have made it so clear, do you understand?"

"Okay..." The other party had no choice but to say, "Then you must come back earlier."

"Naturally." After finishing speaking, Mo Yun looked at the guards, "Then we can set off now?"

……

At the same time, Luo Qingqing also received two letters from Luo Tang.

"I guess you can't imagine who sent the other letter." Luo Tang's mysterious appearance was still in front of her eyes, and after she opened the cover, she was really surprised. She didn't expect the letter to be Xia Fan.It stands to reason that it is impossible for him to contact him alone, and being able to send a letter with Luo You'er means that he and his junior sister are assigned to the same city.

She had planned to wait until she returned to her residence at night to read carefully, but in the end curiosity got the better of her.She took a rare time to open the letter while the fourth prince was taking a nap.

"Good morning, sister."

"I originally planned to write to you as soon as I arrived at the assigned place, but I didn't expect to encounter many things as soon as I arrived."

"First, evil spirits appeared in the surrounding counties, and then—" This place was drawn out by ink, "I can't go into too much detail in the letter, anyway, it's a big deal. It turns out that the responsibilities of the alchemists of the Privy Council are so great, and so Compared with those trainings in Youzhou Mansion, those trainings are too easy. I was almost killed when I was dealing with evil spirits for the first time. To be honest, I was thinking about the world after death.”

Bah, bah, bah, you can't casually write such words in a letter.Luo Qingyuan planned to burn the letter paper later, so as not to make a prophecy.At the same time, she was also a little annoyed at Xia Fan, he must have been there at the time, why did he let his junior sister fall into such a dangerous situation?

"But don't blame the soil thief," Luo You'er said in the next sentence. "In the end, thanks to him and Sister Li, we were able to kill the evil and live up to the expectations of the county people."

Wait a minute, who is Miss Li?Also a contemporaneous alchemist?

Luo gently paused for a few more breaths on this sentence.

And why did you call each other sister so soon?

She suddenly felt that her position as a senior sister was shaking slightly.

"What I didn't expect was that even Princess Guangping became a member of the alchemists and fought side by side with us! Is there really such a princess in Qiguo? It feels like it is written in the book, it is simply unbelievable .”

"Because of this incident, everyone has been promoted. Xia Fan is already a fifth-rank tester in the Privy Council. I have to say that this guy's luck is really good. I am a little envious of him. But I have also been promoted. Now It’s the Seventh Grade Guarding the Heart, so it shouldn’t be too far behind you, right?”

"Of course, I'm definitely not as good as Senior Sister. According to the rules, the seventh rank can already serve as a sub-judge and perform some less important evil tasks alone, but I guess I don't even dare to go out of Jinxia's city gate by myself. If you can It's fine with me."

"Although the incident in the other county has been resolved, the local situation has not improved at all. I am afraid that there will be many troubles waiting for us. But sister, don't worry, I will redouble my efforts. When the matter here is over, I will find time to go to Gyeonggi to see You, you have to invite me to eat all the delicious food in the city."

"Looking forward to your reply, Luo Youer."

A seventh-rank alchemist... That little girl who always seemed to have no roots, is now gradually becoming a person who can stand on her own.Luo Qingqing suddenly felt a surge of emotion in his heart.

She shook her head, suppressing the distracting thoughts in her heart, and then took out the second letter.

The content Xia Fan wrote was very simple, even the written language was no different from the usual speech, so that when she read the letter, the other party seemed to be nagging in her ear.In addition to introducing myself as an employee of the command department, the second half of the main content is basically complaining and asking for help.

There is no one in the privy office, and they were engaged in running around. It seems that the privy office in Jinxia City will be closed soon.Although he didn't know exactly what happened there, his need for help was clearly revealed.

To be honest, Luo Qingqing is a little happy at the moment, but also full of regrets.

Fortunately, the other party's talent has not been buried, and he was promoted to the command department in a short period of time. Jinxia City should be quite peaceful in the future.

Unfortunately, she was unable to respond to the other party's request.

At least not until he resigns from his position as the Royal Magic Guard.

Concubine Luo is not just talking nonsense, this position is indeed rare, and talking about it will bring the envy and praise of others, but... the path is very different from what she expected.

What she wants is not to be relaxed and comfortable, but to use her knowledge and ability to make the order of the world better.

If Xia Fan had spoken earlier, would she have agreed?

Luo gently put the letter into his belt, raised his head, and looked into the distance——

It's just that no matter where she looked, her gaze was blocked by the high white wall used to defend the inner courtyard of the palace.

Chapter 97 Invitation

Shenzhou, Fenghua County.

After the unitary hour, Ruanxiang Pavilion ushered in the busiest time of the day.The darker night is in stark contrast to the string of lanterns hanging around here, and people who have been busy all day will unconsciously walk towards this happy place like moths looking for firelight.

"My lord, are you comfortable doing this?"

"Ah, not bad, you can use a little more force."

"Then slaves should work harder."

"Come on. Ah—"

Swallows and warblers like this are very common in brothels, but the scene in the room is not so commensurate with the occasional whispers.

I saw a woman sitting on the head of the bed in full clothes, rubbing the middle-aged man's shoulder vigorously. Because of the long-term exertion, she was already breathing heavily and sweating profusely.

"How about it, huh, has the slave family's technology improved?"

"Hmm... the strength of the shoulders is still a bit weak. You can consider tightening your thumbs and pressing them with your knuckles." The man pointed with his eyes narrowed.

This person is Zhao Dahai.

To be honest, he didn't expect his proposal to be so successful.What kind of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, what can sing and dance well, are not worth mentioning in front of pressing, kneading and beating.The former may attract truly elegant people, but this is not Sangwon, Gyeonggi Province, but a small county town. Relaxing muscles and relieving fatigue are the services most customers need.

In just over two months, the size of Ruanxiang Pavilion has expanded several times, and lanterns with the name of the shop have even been hung all over the street.

And the service in the store is also divided into a part of "vegetarian meals", which simply only provide massage and massage. After reducing the price to [-]%, the business is also booming, and the response is overwhelming.

If there is a pinnacle in life, he feels that he has reached the pinnacle now.

The Red Cherry Pavilion, which competes with Ruanxiang Pavilion, is unable to support it, and it is predictable that it will close down. Without an opponent, will the owner still treat him like this?

Zhao Dahai has seen too many examples of killing donkeys.

He doesn't want to test human nature, that's more terrifying than gambling, so leaving early is the best choice - as long as you get away before you fall, you won't be able to see the fall.

What's more, the time in Fenghua County was long enough.

If the days are too comfortable, it will be difficult to move again.

Let's start in two days, he thought.

At this time, there were chaotic footsteps outside the door, "Master, the person you are looking for is here."

Officer?

At this time, how could an official come to him?

Zhao Dahai subconsciously looked at the window next to the bed—it seems like he hasn't done anything like cheating for a long time, right?

"Master, are you in there?"

However, the sound that came from him made him raise his brows. Who is it if it's not his apprentice?

"Ah, could it be your disciple who came here?" The eyes of Xingzi who was pinched by him lit up. Now, who doesn't know that Zhao Dahai's disciple has soared into the sky, not only climbed up to the princess, but also directly promoted to the Jinxia Privy Council engaged in.That's a high-ranking official of the fifth rank, the magistrate in the yamen who would give in and salute when he saw him!

It's just that Zhao Dahai's behavior is uninhibited and his background is low. Everyone doesn't think that such a thin master-student relationship can continue, so he usually talks about it as a joke.But this "Master" undoubtedly proved the other party's attitude.

However, Zhao Dahai's reaction surprised Kyoko.

He made a silent gesture, put on his coat and wanted to slip towards the window.

But the response of the comer was quicker.

Seeing that there was no response after a few breaths, the other party directly opened the door.

Zhao Dahai froze at the window.

"I don't know about others, but Master, your thoughts are still easy to ponder." Xia Fan crossed his arms and said, "After so many days of separation, the disciple came to visit. Is the first thing you think of is troublesome?"

"Ahem, traitor, do you talk to Master like this!" Zhao Dahai coughed twice, and returned to the bed, "Master, I just feel that the room is too stuffy, so I just want to open the window to get some air."

This is the rumored newcomer, so young!Xingzi stared at the other party, and his appearance was not bad, and his ability and talent were outstanding. Why did Mr. Zhao avoid such an excellent disciple?If it was her, I'm afraid she would wish to be by this person's side every day.

"Xingzi, you go out first." Zhao Dahai pointed to the door.

"Yes, I'm leaving." Although she was a little bit reluctant, she knew that this was not an occasion where she could make her own decisions. After bowing her knees and saluting, she slowly exited the room.

When passing by Xia Fan, Xingzi wanted to rub shoulders with him, but was pushed away by another man in a bamboo hat.

"You talk, I'm at the door." The man said.

The door closed, and Xia Fan sat down opposite Zhao Dahai, "I now know why you stayed away whenever you saw alchemists when you were wandering, and you never approached the evil incidents handled by the Privy Council anyway. I am a little curious, did you Have you ever been a warlock?"

"Does one or two months count?" Zhao Dahai said displeased, "You think those alchemy techniques are all figured out by the master himself."

"And then you resigned."

"It can't be called resignation, it's just that he got drunk during the mission and was expelled from the Privy Council."

Xia Fan didn't ask the reason for his drunkenness, he knew that things would not be as simple as the other party said, "Did you think there was something wrong with them then?"

"As a teacher, I just can't stand their rules and their attitude of treating evil spirits as a way to make profits." Zhao Dahai sneered, "Why, you are now a fifth-rank tester, and you are interrogating your teacher instead?"

"Student, how dare you." Xia Fan curled his lips, "It's just that you never told me about these things, and you didn't let me touch those things."

"If you know, would you still want to enter the Privy Council?" The other party said bluntly, "Besides, you will be more convinced by what you have experienced than what you have heard."

"Thank you, Master, for taking care of me all these years." Xia Fan bowed his hands in greeting.

"Don't talk about such nasty words," Zhao Dahai showed a look of disgust, "Since you are already engaged in the command department, you should work hard and don't come to be a teacher. I just want to say that it is definitely not good to help others occasionally. what a bad thing..."

"Master is right, this disciple is here for this!" He said in a concentrated voice, "After Yuan Zong was transferred, the lobby of the command department was empty. If we want to deal with evil spirits, we must rebuild a team But the new alchemist lacks actual combat experience, I hope that Master can take the position of the leader and help me!"

"Don't even think about it!" Zhao Dahai said without hesitation, "I knew that if you hadn't encountered trouble, you wouldn't have come to the door so quickly."

"You can't even help me?"
