Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 448: Fighting

Leng Zhu's murderous intent could barely be concealed, and Mo Xuexin could clearly feel that he really wanted to take action. Next to Xue Mu, Weiye's eyes were dark and his long hair had begun to flutter. He was obviously concentrating on preparing to fight the enemy. Zhuo Qingqing stood by the side, pressing the hilt of his sword, and the atmosphere was about to explode.

Li Yingqing broke the sharp atmosphere by speaking calmly: "Everyone, please take a seat. Our Shenji Sect is full of distinguished guests today, and I would like to have a glass of wine with you later."

Leng Zhu took a deep breath. If he could kill Xue Mu with one strike, he would definitely do it without hesitation, even if he offended Li Yingqing. But under Zhuo Qingqing's full vigilance in the early night, Xue Mu also had the Moon Divine Stone with him. He knew that he could not kill with one strike. If he really wanted to fight, this was the center of the Divine Machine Sect.

He forcibly suppressed his anger and said coldly: "Master Li is one of the three nobles of the imperial court, and he is highly virtuous and respected. How can he sit with a monster and talk and laugh so easily?"

Li Yingqing asked curiously: "I am communicating with the imperial city lord about improving people's livelihood equipment. What is a monster?"

Leng Zhu almost wanted to slap his ears on the face of Ji Qingyuan, who was paralyzed in the palace, and give him the title of city lord. It was not enough to hit himself in the foot, but he also tricked others!

In fact, Ji Qingyuan was unjustly accused. After the flogging that day, when he approached Eunuch Li to discuss killing Xue Mu, he had already issued an order to deprive Xue Mu of his title and remove him from the position of city lord. It's a pity that this kind of decree cannot be implemented on paper. Liu Wanxi was already very restrained before she even knighted Xue Mu. To this day, Ji Qingyuan still thinks that Eunuch Li is planning to kill Xue Mu...

Mo Xuexin winked at Leng Zhu to calm down. She took the seat next to Li Yingqing and looked face to face with Xue Mu.

Xue Mu smiled at her, while Mo Xuexin was expressionless.

Leng Zhu also endured it and sat down with Ji Wuli one after another. He really didn't want to talk anymore, so he tacitly gave up the conversation to Mo Xuexin.

Unexpectedly, Mo Xuexin didn't speak either. Looking at Xue Mu's smile, she felt that she was full of faults. The scene of being teased by him in front of her that day was still present, and it felt awkward no matter how she spoke.

It was Ji Wuli who spoke: "Is this the Phoenix Man? Hearing it a hundred times is better than seeing it once."

Xue Mu moved his eyes away from Mo Xuexin and looked at Ji Wuli.

Sure enough, he is quite handsome. The Ji family's pedigree is indeed not bad. I heard that it is because there was a famous handsome man named Ji Cha in the previous generation... This Ji Wuli is not young, he looks to be almost forty, and he has a neat beard. Very neat, very much like the standard image of a wise king in movies and TV series. But now the look of sneer and contempt is on the surface, which can only make people feel superficial and lacking in cultivation.

Xue Mu thought it was quite interesting for a moment. He was provoked and despised by many people in this world, but it seems that it is rare to feel like a brainless second generation at a glance? Wei Ruyi, Meng Fei, Bai Ling Wushuang are all quite elegant on the surface, but Leng Zhu in front of him wants to bite him in his heart, but his face is expressionless... It's rare to see Ji Wuli like this, he even has a bit of "This is right" Well" feeling, how can everyone be so high-quality?

"King Yi also knows a hundred things about Xiaguan?"

Ji Wuli sneered and said: "He is nothing more than a monster from the Demon Sect, who behaves evilly and is lustful. I am not a flashy scholar, but I can't say a hundred words."

"What does it mean at first sight, that the official is actually upright, behaves dignifiedly, and is not lewd, which is inconsistent with the rumors? Thank you King Yi for the compliment, I am not worthy of it."

"..." Ji Wuli showed a disgusted expression: "It's really shameless!"

These words were scolded into Mo Xue's heart. It was like drinking sour plum soup on a June day. It felt very refreshing. Leng Zhu's complexion also improved a little. It seemed that it would be good to have a fool to charge into the battle...

But Li Yingqing didn't know what he was thinking, and he never spoke to stop the discordant atmosphere between the two groups of guests. The old god was on the ground holding a teacup and sipping tea, as if he wanted to observe something.

Xue Mu shook his fan and said calmly: "Except for using a pseudonym when I was doing errands for the six gates, my real name has always been in front of others, and I have nothing to say to others. I don't know where to start with this shameless saying. . On the other hand, some people are hiding their heads and tails, hiding their bows and crossbows a mile away, so you really can’t see where their faces are.”

Before he finished speaking, Ji Wuli's expression changed and he said sternly: "You must provide evidence when you speak!"

Xue Mu smiled: "When I said that the official acted evilly, I didn't see the King of Yi to provide any evidence. If there are deviations in the report in the future, will the King of Yi be responsible?"

Mo Xuexin narrowed her eyes. Xue Mu's words were obviously accusing Ji Wuli of being the one who planned the assassination that night. She didn't know why, but there was no evidence presented, but she believed it when Xue Mu said it. Combined with Ji Wuli's sharp look and tenderness, he was even more confident.

The tallest among dwarfs is still the dwarf...

But he heard Leng Zhu speak: "Then some people secretly used cunning tactics to steal artifacts, then designed poison arrays to kill innocent disciples of the righteous path, and finally poured sewage on the imperial court. How shameless is this?"

Xue Mu smiled and said: "The name of the formation is greedy. Xue went in and walked around without any damage. The disciples of the righteous way have better practice than me. There shouldn't be any trouble, right? Is there any misunderstanding?"

Leng Zhu was angry and said nothing.

Xue Mu just satirized the natural sect for being greedy and jealous, and did not argue with the rest. There is nothing to argue with. The tripod is not yours, so what are you talking about? In fact, he knew that what Leng Zhu was most angry about was being fooled around. As for whether Ding belonged to the imperial court or the Xingyue Sect, it made no difference to Leng Zhu. It was just that he couldn't swallow this breath. There is no point in debating the rights and wrongs of this kind of matter, and there is no need for him to calm down Leng Zhu's anger. At this time, the Xingyue Sect has strong troops and the Alliance of Six Paths is facing the outside world. Are you afraid of you, the Natural Sect?

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Mo Xuexin finally sighed and took over the conversation: "I wonder what issue Manager Xue and Sect Leader Li were discussing just now about improving people's livelihood?"

Leng Zhu and Ji Wuli also endured it and said nothing. They knew that the purpose of coming here today was not to start a war with Xue Mu. They wanted to start a war and left here. What was really important at this moment was that Li Yingqing could not be killed. Xue Mula took a different stance. They were here to win cooperation from their allies, not to cause trouble.

Seeing that someone finally smoothed things over, Li Yingqing, who had watched the show for a long time, seemed to have woken up and said leisurely: "Manager Xue pointed out that since the ship can design an array core and sail with spontaneous power, why can't it design such a vehicle? Driving roads can carry passengers and transport people, replacing the inefficiency and inconvenience of horse-drawn carriages."

Mo Xuexin was stunned: "There is a difference between roads and sea water after all... The worry about the sea is wind and waves, which can be solved by Guimen's combat-based shield system. However, the road is uneven, and once it becomes muddy during the rainy season, the carriage is already bumpy enough. Well, if it had strong power, it would turn over when it encounters a trap."

Li Yingqing smiled and said: "General Manager Xue proposed three methods."

There are actually three kinds... Mo Xuexin looked at Xue Mu speechlessly, and Xue Mu smiled at her gracefully.

Mo Xuexin tilted her head angrily.

Li Yingqing stroked his beard and said: "Manager Xue pointed out that since the war couple can walk, why do we need to use rollers on the road? Vehicles can also walk."

Mo Xue was stunned.

"For example, a conjoined war partner, dozens of people connected from front to back, like a centipede insect. The power is only at the head and tail, and the middle belly is used for transportation. This is completely feasible. I am afraid it can carry thousands of passengers at a time. There is just a problem with the cost. I am afraid it will be difficult to Universal." Li Yingqing said: "In any case, this is a good initiative and worth studying."

Mo Xuexin couldn't help but said: "What are the other two types?"

Xue Mu said: "It's better to use wheels. One is to lay the road, and the other is to customize the track. Sect Master Li and I are discussing which one is more practical. For example, what materials should be used to pave the road, and how to make the track? Or according to different local conditions, some road sections can be used as pilot projects according to local conditions."

Mo Xuexin pursed her lips and didn't answer. She suddenly realized that if she really wanted to win over Li Yingqing, any high-ranking official, generous salary, panacea, or heaven and earth treasures and super skills would have no meaning. Only the magic of magic was what he wanted in his life. This is different from the overall Tao of this world. Neither she nor Leng Zhu Wentian can talk to Li Yingqing. But where did Xue Mu get these ideas? Not only did he have creative ideas, but he also had specific implementation considerations. It has gone beyond the study of divine machines itself, and is close to the discussion of people's livelihood in the court.

But this is obviously a good thing that is convenient for the people, beneficial to the development of the world, and even beneficial to themselves.

Not even in a position to cause trouble...
