"Ying'er, what do you think?"
The Han Emperor looked at Qin Ying and asked.
Qin Ying stepped forward and said, "Since all the adults have proposed to hold a ceremony to catch monsters, I can't refuse."
"But!"
Speaking of this, Qin Ying paused for a moment, and then continued, "Father, you also know that Xian'er's injuries have not healed. She was frightened last night and had a fever this morning. I think it's not suitable to hold a ceremony today. It's better to do it tomorrow."
Qin Ying didn't want to say that.
But now that things have come to this, he can only lie.
There must be some time to think of countermeasures.
"Your Majesty, I don't think it's appropriate."
At this time, Taifu Wang Mingsong stood up again and said with a righteous face: "As the saying goes, delay leads to changes. Catching monsters is a top priority. If we don't do it early, the fox demon will know the news and I'm afraid it will escape, and then we won't be able to catch it."
Hearing this, Qin Ying's eyes turned cold.
This old bastard!
Qin Ying looked at him and said with a sullen face: "Grandmaster, it is not confirmed whether the fox demon is in Wutong Garden yet, so what is the point of talking about escaping?"
Wang Mingsong said coldly: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of one. I have experienced the intelligence of the Ninth Prince. I am afraid that something will happen if I delay."
Qin Ying gritted his teeth. This old bastard had something to say.
"Grandmaster Wang, you are not deliberately taking revenge on the Ninth Prince because of your son's matter, are you?" Grand Tutor Chen Songtai smiled strangely.
Dean Song Henian also nodded, "I think Wang Taifu has this intention."
Wang Mingsong's old face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Nonsense! I have no such intention!"
As he said this, he even faced the Han Emperor and shouted righteously: "My son has ended up like this, it is entirely his own fault, it has nothing to do with the Ninth Prince. This old minister is doing this today,
It is also for the sake of the court and the Han Dynasty, and I have no intention of revenge."
"Okay, okay."
The Han Emperor had a headache and said: "Then we will open the altar tomorrow."
"Yan Kong presides, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Yan Kong hurriedly clasped his hands together and said: "It's all up to your majesty."
"My disciples are still outside the palace, please let them in."
The Han Emperor said majestically: "Approved!"
...
After the morning court.
Qin Ying hurried back to Wutong Garden.
Old Huang still stood in front of the door like a wooden sculpture, waiting for Qin Ying.
Qin Ying saw him and immediately stepped forward. He didn't have time to talk nonsense and said directly: "There are three things."
Old Huang saw that he looked solemn and listened carefully.
Qin Ying said: "The first thing is to let Feng Lidao return to the palace secretly. No matter what method he uses, he must disguise himself as the disciple of Monk Yankong tomorrow."
"The second thing is to find out who has the lotus tattoo on his shoulder. I want the news tonight."
"The third thing is to continue to find the whereabouts of Nangong Yundi. It's still the same sentence. I don't want her to die no matter what!"
Old Huang nodded and said: "Do it now."
After Old Huang left, Qin Ying walked into the backyard of Wutong Garden.
Here, Zhao Hu was taking Tiefutu for daily training.
Wutong Garden was the other courtyard of Qin Ying's mother when she was alive. It was very large, so most of the training was concentrated in the backyard.
The training of Tiefutu was different from the training in the military camp. They not only practiced martial arts, but also conducted targeted training for each person's specialties.
Qin Ying also got a lot of modern training equipment. At first, they were all confused, but after practicing for a while, they found that the effect was remarkable.
Seeing Qin Ying coming.
Zhao Hu immediately stopped training and made a gesture to assemble.
Within ten seconds, the three hundred iron pagodas quickly lined up neatly.
They were all wearing thin clothes, and the sweat from training soaked their clothes, sticking to their bodies, showing steel-like muscle lines.
Compared with when they first came, there was a drastic change. Not only were they more robust, but their temperaments had also changed.
Qin Ying was very satisfied with just one look.
The iron pagodas are now getting closer and closer to the troops he imagined.
"No training tomorrow, rest for a day."
Qin Ying faced everyone and spoke lightly.
"Your Highness, is there anything?" Zhao Hu asked in a low voice.
Your Highness is usually very strict with them, and there are strict rules from eating to sleeping. If you want to be lazy during training, don't even think about it. If you are caught, the punishment will be more terrible than being imprisoned in the sky prison.
Why would His Highness give them a day off?
"Are you going to ask or execute?"
Qin Ying's face darkened.
Zhao Hu immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.
The iron rule of Tiefutu is absolute obedience.
Orders can only be executed, no questions, no thoughts, no words.
But Zhao Hu asked.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I will punish myself."
Zhao Hu was sweating coldly.
"Today, everyone's training will be doubled."
Qin Ying left a word and left.
According to the discipline of Tiefutu, if one person makes a mistake, everyone will be punished.
Even if Zhao Hu just asked a question, he would be punished.
This is the discipline of Tiefutu, which is almost harsh.
"Yes!"
Zhao Hu had no dissatisfaction, turned around and looked at the members of Tiefutu, and said loudly: "Today's training will be doubled!"
"Yes!"
Three hundred people
responded in unison.
Like Zhao Hu, they were not dissatisfied with Qin Ying's harshness, nor would they feel that the system of punishing all for one person's mistake was unfair.
Tiefutu was free to come and go, and they stayed voluntarily, which meant that those who stayed had already made sufficient psychological preparations.
Moreover, and most importantly, they knew that it was impossible for people not to make mistakes.
Today, the commander made a mistake, and they were willing to tolerate and accompany him to be punished. If they made a mistake tomorrow, the commander would also advance and retreat with them without complaint.
Qin Ying left the backyard and went to Cai Jingzhong's residence.
In order to let him study firearms with peace of mind, Qin Ying specially marked out a piece of land in Wutong Garden, and no one except him could set foot on it.
"Master Cai."
Standing outside the door, Qin Ying shouted.
Creak~
The door was pushed open.
Cai Jingzhong walked out with bloodshot eyes and a dark face. He looked very bad, as if he had not slept for many days.
But as soon as he saw Qin Ying, he immediately walked up to him, his eyes sparkling, and said, "Your Highness, the firearm is done! I have mastered the gunpowder ratio, and I have also improved it a little bit..."
Cai Jingzhong excitedly told Qin Ying about his research these days, and his dancing and gesticulating looked a little funny.
This made Qin Ying couldn't help laughing.
Everyone has their own hobbies.
Cai Jingzhong's hobby is making weapons.
The emergence of firearms undoubtedly opened the door to a new world for him, letting him know that weapons can be made in this way.
"Master Cai, I have something to tell you."
Qin Ying interrupted Cai Jingzhong's vivid description.
"How many firearms have been made now?"
"More than a hundred."
"Okay, stop the research first."
Qin Ying said with a solemn face: "All research will be transferred to the basement."
In order to keep it secret, Qin Ying had people dig out the underground of Wutong Garden and made a secret room to store firearms.
Cai Jingzhong heard this and asked in confusion: "Why is this?"
Seeing him ask, Qin Ying told him what happened in the morning court today, and also told him about Nangong Yundi sneaking into the Taifu mansion to arrest Wang Teng.
This is necessary.
Cai Jingzhong is willing to stay with him and serve him, mainly because Qin Ying promised to overturn the case for him and give justice to the Cai family.
But now, he has not done it yet.
He knew that things would be difficult, but he still underestimated the power of old thieves like Wang Mingsong.
Tomorrow, Monk Yankong will come to Wutong Garden to perform a ritual, and all civil and military officials and the Han Emperor will come.
The reason why Qin Ying gave Tiefutu a day off and asked Cai Jingzhong to suspend his research was that he did not want to expose these cards too early.
"Alas."
After listening to Qin Ying's words, Cai Jingzhong sighed. The next moment, he grabbed Qin Ying's hand and said seriously: "Your Highness, please find Nangong Xia and don't let her get into trouble. Otherwise, I will never be at peace in my life."
Qin Ying nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best."
"How can Your Highness survive this crisis?" Cai Jingzhong couldn't help but worry.
He felt extremely dangerous just by listening to Qin Ying's description of today's morning court.
When the court opens tomorrow, Yan Kong will definitely use some tricks.
Your Majesty trusts him so much, and Wang Mingsong and a large group of civil officials are helping him. Even the people are complaining. The situation is extremely unfavorable to Qin Ying.
