Heaven's Formula

"I want to avenge the royal family." The princess said in a deep voice.

……

"You mean, your mother was killed by the imperial concubine?" After listening to Ning Wanjun's story, Mo Yun was very surprised. She had known the princess for a long time, but this was the first time she heard about it.There were no related rumors in the palace, and it was announced that the third princess' biological mother, Concubine Qing, died of illness.

Today, the Holy Majesty has sealed five concubines in total, among which only Concubine Qing is not from the aristocratic family.She has no background and no backer. She was an ordinary girl whom the Holy Majesty had taken a fancy to before he ascended the throne. This matter became a good talk many years later.

"A few years after she gave birth to me, she became pregnant again. At that time, the sons born to Concubine Qi and Concubine Fei Xiang—that is, the current crown prince and second prince still showed no sign of being angry, but I was already feeling angry, so They teamed up with two other concubines to slander my mother for being unfaithful and having an affair with someone who was angry in the palace. The Holy Majesty believed this and ordered someone to kill her pregnancy with medicine, which seriously injured her vitality. died in the palace."

Ning Wanjun said with a blank face, "I only found out about this later - my mother recorded all these things in a booklet, and finally Eunuch Li handed it over to me. I was just 12 years old that year. The irony is that within half a year after the mother passed away, the second prince awakened the ability to sense qi, and the prince is still unable to sense qi to this day. Sometimes I think, if I wake up a few years later, or I won’t be able to sense qi in this life If they don't have the power of Qi, they will murder Xiangfei instead of my mother."

Mo Yunning said, "It's not your fault!"

"Of course not," Ning Wanjun cast a relieved look, "I'm not so pedantic that I take the revenge of killing relatives as my fault. They have committed such crimes, and they will naturally have to pay for it—if we talk about the right of inheritance It is the only thing they desire, and the best vengeance for them is to bring down their lifelong hope from the throne."

Chapter 132

She was indeed the third princess she knew.

Mo Yun couldn't help thinking.

To what extent does a person have to be persistent to do this?Even if she regards the entire royal family as an enemy, she has no intention of burying this matter.

If you were yourself, would you be able to persist until this point?Mo Yun asked himself, and the answer was that it couldn't be done—it would take enough courage just to keep it in mind.

Although she doesn't have the courage to walk this path alone, she can still help her friends along the way.

She knows her choice, and she will also be one of the other's courage.

"It would be great if you told me earlier." Mo Yun said softly.

"..." Ning Wanjun turned her head away, "Why did you suddenly slow down your speech? This is not suitable for you at all... Besides, you like mechanism skills very much, right? Don't you feel regretful after abandoning the environment of the Ministry of Industry? .”

"Even according to what you said, I learned about your situation through other channels later, and it is impossible to stay in the Ministry of Industry by then."

"Why?"

"Why do you think I chose the Machine Building Bureau?" Mo Yun glared at her, "Of all the branches of the Ministry of Industry, only the Machine Building Bureau manufactures new equipment for the army, and you used to be like a duck to water in the frontier army."

Ning Wanjun was slightly taken aback.

"This kind of mechanical beast for transportation is very suitable for the environment in which you fight. I thought that after the training is over, you will stay in the army until you become a leading general." Mo Yun sighed, "Now I think it's me You are so naive. Since the noble concubines have committed murderous actions, how can you allow you to hold military power. And what you are going to do now is very likely—no, you will definitely be an enemy of Daqi’s army. I will stay in the Ministry of Industry , isn’t it helping others to deal with you?”

"I……"

Mo Yun shook his head and interrupted the other party, "The most important thing about mechanism art is not the environment, but the key person, or - the key idea. Now that this person is in front of you, instead of worrying about other things, It's better to make her happy, so that she will be more motivated to study. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Ning Wanjun couldn't help laughing, "Yes, do you want me to serve you and rub your shoulders?"

Mo Yun cupped his hands solemnly and said, "I dare not."

The two looked at each other for a moment, then raised the corners of their mouths in unison.

"Thank you," said the princess.

"You're welcome." Mo Yun replied softly.

"By the way," she asked after a short pause, "what do you plan to do in the future? Do you have a general plan?"

"Stand firmly on Jinxia first, and then go to Shenzhou. As long as you hold the land of a state, you can recruit soldiers and supplies at any time. Of course, by that time, Shangyuan City will definitely be aware of it. Maybe after I win Jinxia Before, the royal family would take action—this is also the most dangerous hurdle." Ning Wanjun said slowly, "To be honest, I didn't have much confidence before, and I estimated that there was only a [-] to [-]% chance of winning, but now the situation has changed. It's very different."

Mo Yun immediately realized, "Because of Xia Fan?"

"The longer this plan is, the greater the risk. I originally estimated it would be three to four years, but he changed the situation." Ning Wanjun said confidently, "When sea salt is mass-produced, it will be completely Eliminating the influence of the Wang family is also the biggest obstacle for me to control Jinxia City."

"So that's how it is." Mo Yun thought, that's why Her Highness the Princess puts so much emphasis on the technique of drying salt. On the contrary, it is only natural that what he said at that time was guarded against and rejected. "Xia Fan...has he also accepted your intention?"

"No, I didn't even tell him what I was going to do."

"What?" Mo Yun was greatly surprised by the princess's answer, "Your Highness, this... how can it work! Xia Fan's participation in leading things is related to your overall plan, what if he quits? Do you want to Do you use force on him..."

This is not a small matter that can be ignored. The identity and status of the third princess is no better than that of the crown prince and the second prince. Those who are willing to take advantage of the fire are always a minority.In case the core personnel betrayed, the losses would be incalculable.

Based on her understanding of the princess, the other party should not be such a careless person.

"How could it be?" Ning Wanjun smiled mysteriously, "You just came to Jinxia not long ago, and you didn't get along with him too much, that's why you have this question. After a while, you will understand, that guy...is very important to the entire royal family. There is no respect at all, let alone the imperial court."

"The entire... royal family?" Mo Yun looked at Ning Wanjun hesitantly.

"That's right, including me." Ning Wanjun shrugged, "This feeling is very strange, but it does exist—I am not even as important as that fox demon in his eyes."

"Fox demon?" Mo Yun found that his thinking was a little behind.

"Oh, it's that girl named Li, with a tengu by her side." Ning Wanjun said nonchalantly, "A while ago, there were ghosts from the island country and the great witch... At that time, the villa was very lively. Let's talk about it. I can tell you slowly during dinner, in short, whether it is a demon or a royal family, status does not make him treat it differently, and it is precisely because of this that I am so relieved."

Monsters can freely enter and leave the princess's villa, and the people who keep the monsters are in charge of the Privy Council... Mo Yun suddenly felt that the world was about to change.

"Will your mechanism beast research continue?" Ning Wanjun changed the subject, "Although I'm glad you're willing to stay, I know you don't like to be involved in secular turmoil. If possible, I'd still like to I hope you can do something that interests you."

"Uh...Of course, what I said earlier is that I'm in a better mood and more motivated to study." Mo Yun pulled back his divergent thoughts, "I plan to rebuild a Ministry of Industry in Jinxia."

"Rebuild? Will this work?"

"It can work, and I bet that this Ministry of Industry will be far better than the one in Gyeonggi. Because the starting point of the two is different."

"Are you sure?" Ning Wanjun couldn't help being a little surprised, she rarely saw that the other party would come to a conclusion before the matter was done.

"I have read Xia Fan's arithmetic book completely." Mo Yun said seriously, "Let's put it this way, if I had been enlightened through this book from the beginning, my achievements would only be higher now. It abandoned All unnecessary things are deduced from one conclusion to another with the simplest and most refined formula, just like a big tree with branches and leaves, enough to build a huge logical system. And this way of thinking is very important to the organ The significance of the technique is incalculable!"

Ning Wanjun scratched her head.

"I know that it is difficult for His Highness to understand this level, but it has convinced me that it is not difficult to establish a brand new Ministry of Industry." Mo Yun pressed his chest, "I will personally teach the recruited people—whether it is Whether it is basic knowledge, arithmetic theory, or mechanism skills experience, I believe that as long as it takes time, its reputation will spread throughout the continent!"

Chapter 133 Looting Jinxia

At night, Wen Xingyuan climbed to the third floor of Wanfu Building, and walked into a wing room under the guidance of his servants.

There are several dishes on the round table in the room, the quantity is not many, but they are all the first-class fresh products.For example, the deep-sea red shrimp as long as an arm, the almost transparent tulle water ginseng, and the plump stingray fillet that melts in the mouth, etc., all of which are valuable.

It's really the style of the Wang family, Wen Xingyuan snorted coldly in his heart, even if the focus of the meeting was not on eating at all, the other party would not let go of a little bit of showing off.

It's just that when he saw the person sitting at the table, he couldn't help but pause, "Why are you?"

The person who came was actually Wang Yi'an's eldest son - Wang Qingzhi.

He has also met this person many times, but they were all under Wang Yi'an's leadership.Although it has long been heard that most of the Wang family's property has been transferred to Wang Qingzhi's hands, this kind of mundane matter does not allow the Privy Council to take a high look at it.In the final analysis, he is just an ordinary person who cannot be angry.

"My father was unable to attend and I came in his place."

"Ridiculous!" Wen Xingyuan shook his head, turned around and walked towards the door.Without Fu Cheng, he is now the nominal head of the Privy Council, and the Wang family actually came to a boy under 30 years old to have secret talks with him?It's ridiculous!

"Master, please stop." Wang Qingzhi said without moving. "It was you who conveyed the meeting proposal to the Wang family, and I was the one who accepted the proposal and went to the appointment. I have nothing to do with my father from the beginning. I hope you can understand this."

... Has nothing to do with Wang Yi'an?

Wen Xingyuan turned his head, "What do you mean?"

"My father, he no longer intends to fight against Her Highness the Princess." Wang Qingzhi replied calmly, "In other words, he will not intervene for you if the command department supported by the Princess is engaged. Father, not me, I am afraid that the princess will know the whole content of the meeting not long after the talk."

"Wang Yi'an is now..."

"Everything is fine now, but it is no longer suitable to ask about family affairs."

"You can call the shots?"

"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have come here."

Wen Xingyuan hesitated for a moment, and then slowly returned to the table, "Then the old man will not go around in circles, and the ugly words are up front. If you can't keep what you said, the Privy Council will not stop there."

"Of course, the Wang family will never dare to perfunctory the Privy Council." Wang Qingzhi bowed his head slightly.

Wen Xingyuan snorted softly, pulled out his chair and sat down, "A long time ago, you started to cultivate your own underground forces, right? As far as I know, the predecessor of the Donghai Gang was a group of pirates who raised thieves in private , the Wang family's courage is indeed not small."

Wang Qingzhi remained silent.

"For the sake of tax money, it's not surprising that the government turned a blind eye, but the Privy Council doesn't have such concerns." Wen Xingyuan continued, "The old man came to your Wang family this time to borrow this Once used by pirates. If you agree, then everything is easy to talk about, but if you disagree, you should be clear about the crime of adultery with pirates."

He nodded, "How do you plan to use it?"

"Let them loot Jinxia City."

Wang Qingzhi looked surprised, "Are you sure?"

"I need the illusion that Jinxia City was attacked." Wen Xingyuan replied.

Zhang Wenwen's words gave him a lot of inspiration. In an emergency, he can indeed bypass the charter and take the temporary position of Fucheng, and then go to the Gyeonggi Privy Council.No matter how the above replies, this time is enough for him to kick Xia Fan out of the Privy Council.

The fact that Jinxia City was attacked by pirates is undoubtedly a "major danger".

Although there has been no bandit disaster in Shenzhou for decades, but...as long as it doesn't cause too much damage, the court probably won't pay much attention to it.

So he thought of the Wang family.

A domestic dog is naturally more docile than wild dogs.

What's more, this dog owner still has a handle in the hands of the Privy Council.

"This...I'm afraid it won't work." Wang Qingzhi pondered for a moment, "It's not that I don't want to. After all, the Donghai Gang is just a quack gang, and the number of people is less than a thousand. You let them loot Jinxia... it's really powerless."

Jinxia City used to be an important town in Yongguo, and there were solid high walls on the south, west, and north sides. Even if the defense on the east side near the sea was weak, it was still relatively weak compared to the other sides.At least there are a lot of beacon towers, ballistas, and arrow towers.Once the city gate is closed and the guards stand on the city wall, it is not something a group of gangsters can get their hands on.

The most important thing is that one of Shenzhou's garrison is in the outskirts of Jinxia. Once the beacon is lit, they can rush to help here at most one day.

Wen Xingyuan obviously knew this information, "Stupid. There are only 1000 people in the Donghai Gang, which doesn't mean that there are only 1000 pirates. What they do is burn, kill, and loot, not sail and sail. ? The government may be a threat to others, but it should not be an obstacle to the Wang family? As for the garrison, the old man will try to delay it."

"How long can it be delayed?"

Wen Xingyuan stretched out a finger.

"It's too short, at least two days." Wang Qingzhi shook his head.

Wen Xingyuan was immediately displeased, "Are you teaching the Privy Council to do things? Don't forget what the old man said before!"

"My lord, please forgive me." Wang Qingzhi replied sincerely, "They are not dead soldiers of the royal family. They are just a group of cruel and violent robbers. One day is only enough to enter the city. You must at least give them time to evacuate before I can be sure. persuade them."

"Isn't it good to let them all die in Jinxia City?"

Wang Qingzhi insisted, "The Wang family will not be able to sleep peacefully for the rest of their lives."

Wen Xingyuan stared at him for a long time, finally nodded, "Up to two days."

"Thank you for your understanding, sir."

"You have to prepare this matter by yourself, and everything has nothing to do with the Privy Council. When you are ready, notify the old man a few days in advance." Wen Xingyuan stood up, "The old man doesn't like to force others to do things. If the Wang family is doing well, The Privy Council will definitely reward you. Although you are not an alchemist, what if there are people who are sensitive to Qi among your descendants?"

"I understand what you mean." Wang Qingzhi stood up and cupped his hands, "Aren't you going to leave after eating?"

Wen Xingyuan waved his sleeves and walked straight out of the wing.

After the door was closed, another man wearing a mask quietly walked out from behind the screen.He wore a black tunic with gold trim, metal fingertips on his hands, and long hair that reached his waist. "Is this what the Jinxia Privy Council is doing? From his tone, it seems that you are not the one who asks others, but you."

Wang Qingzhi changed his expression before, showing a disdainful chuckle, "All alchemists are like this, they look down on ordinary people like me from the bottom of their hearts."

"It's normal, after all, people who sense Qi are closer to the origin of this world." The man said indifferently, "It's just that as a professional, his level really disappoints me. The former fifth-rank alchemists were not so dull. It seems that a long and stable life will indeed make us weak."

He paused, "Of course, ordinary people can also play an irreplaceable role at certain times - for example, without the support of you and your father, we would not have been able to obtain a large amount of salt so smoothly."

This person is a helper he contacted through the Donghai Gang.

In other words, the other party represents the interests and will of the countries across the sea.

This is also the power that my father is unwilling to use easily.

Unlike the Donghai Gang, they cannot be controlled by the Wang family, but the power that cannot be controlled, my father is always worried that one day he will burn himself.

Wang Qingzhi agreed with his father's point of view, but that was based on the steady growth of the Wang family.

If even the continuation of the family is in jeopardy, then there is no security and checks and balances.

"I will not interfere with whatever you want to do." Wang Qingzhi said in a deep voice, "I only have one request, and that is that Princess Guangping must die."

The Privy Council's plan just gave him an excellent opportunity.

Pirate raids will inevitably bring chaos, and chaos in the city is the best cover for action.As long as the death of the princess is blamed on the pirates, the crisis of the Wang family will naturally be resolved.

"This is not an easy task." The man sat down and said, "Since your princess came to Jinxia City, we have lost many good players one after another. This can only show that the princess has expert protection by her side. "

"As far as I know, the new alchemist Xia Fan of the Privy Council—"

"It can't be this person." He directly interrupted Wang Qingzhi's words, "Three Huamu Ren is understandable, but the backbone of the Donghai Gang was completely overthrown overnight? Such a person should not condescend to the local Privy Council. The identity of the princess is the only way to recruit her to your side. By the way, you have checked what happened on Wangfu Street, right?"

Wang Qingzhi nodded, "The surrounding residents heard a loud noise, and the wall below the well was pitch black, which was undoubtedly caused by burning. In addition to the short but strong vibration at that time, I guess it was an explosion. It's just... there was not much sulfur at the scene taste."

"It's right that there is no sulfur smell. It's not a conventional explosion, but some kind of powerful detachment." The man knocked on the table and said, "It's fast, deadly, and doesn't give people time to react, but it also restrains evil spirits. No wonder Akira Amuro died there. It's a pity for our arrangement..."

"Didn't you say that you can even fight against the Privy Council? No matter how powerful the other party is, it's just one person."
