Chapter 248: Racing Against Time
ong eyelashes concealed the unwillingness and sadness in her eyes. This time, at the point of emotional turmoil, she didn't shed a tear.Luckily, luckily, she was a young woman from modern society at h..."Monopoly That's quite apt." Fu Zi Mo listened to the two unfamiliar words she uttered, a hint of confusion in his eyes. However, he didn't pursue further questioning, only the suspicion in his gaze seemed to deepen, "So, you should know, that's the most core place in Nan Yue Country. Even him, after all these years, has only been able to control part of it."
The "he" mentioned by Fu Zi Mo is the monarch of Nan Yue, Fu Zi Heng.
So, they assigned her to the Weaponsmith Workshop of the Ministry of War. That in itself couldn't be for any innocent reason.
Fu ZiMo continued, "The weapons workshop of the Ministry of War is controlled by a mysterious family. Since the founding of the country, this family has been responsible for everything in the weapons workshop. They are loyal to every monarch but do not entirely obey them. There are even rumors that if they encounter a tyrannical ruler, they can help a new virtuous ruler ascend to power, of course, this new ruler must also be from the Fu family."
Qin Luo'yan listened more and more, her brow furrowed tighter, she couldn't help but sigh: "I never expected that there would be such a family in this world. Your Fu family's ancestors are also generous enough to hand over half of the country to them. What if someone in their clan has rebellious intentions Wouldn't your Fu family's territory be precarious"
"You're right, so every generation of rulers has been diligent and hardworking, and hasn't made too many major mistakes. At least for the past few hundred years, this family has never had any dissent. Instead, they have allowed the power of Nan Yue to continuously expand, until now it is firmly in the position of leading all other countries." Fu Zi Mo's face flashed with a hint of mockery, as if he had great dissatisfaction with this dynasty.
Qin Luo knew, his discontent wasn't aimed at this nation, but at the former emperor. As a prince, he had endured a hardship that no child would dare imagine, all because of a word from the empress. How much paternal love could such a father have for him
So, his discontent with the late emperor wasn't unreasonable.
"Do you want me to enter the Ministry of War's armory because something has happened" Qin Luoyan couldn't help but ask.
Fu Zi Mo raised his eyes to glance at her, nodded slightly, then said, "Indeed, there are some things. But wait until you enter the Ministry of War's weapons workshop before I tell you. Before you pass his examination, saying it would be meaningless. However, this king can assure you that your eldest brother should also have joined the Ministry of War's weapons workshop for that matter."
When it involved Big Brother, Qin Luoyan would absolutely never hesitate. Back then, Yun Tianxi went to such great lengths, even going so far as to slaughter his own elders and disciples, there must be some unspeakable secret behind it all. If Xiao Fan didn't do well enough, what if he was harmed by Yun Tianxia Even if Xiao Fan helped him achieve his goal, how could he guarantee that Yun Tianxia wouldn't betray him after crossing the river
Xiao Fan was very dangerous, Qin Luo Yan knew that, so she was even less willing to waste a single moment.
She suddenly stood up, wanting to go back to the room to retrieve the whip involved in Fu Ziheng's test. She took a few steps, then turned back to Fu Zimu and said, "By the way, Your Highness, could you please have Zhou Li help me"
Although she was a skilled craftswoman, she was ultimately unfamiliar with the fundamentals of arms manufacturing in Nanyue. Having someone knowledgeable assist her would ensure the mission's success. This time, she didn't want to make any mistakes.
Fu Zi Mo was startled, then nodded.
Qin Luo'yan took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, then turned back and walked towards Fu Zimo. She walked to his side, bent down and kissed him on the cheek, "Zimo, thank you for giving me this opportunity. Also, these days, Xiao Yujing has worked hard for you."
Fu Zi Mo was a little surprised, he couldn't help but raise his hand to touch the place she had kissed, there seemed to be a lingering fragrance of her breath on his cheek. He suddenly smiled, "That's our child, do you think this king would mistreat him"
"No, I just wanted to thank you." After saying that, Qin Luoyan simply cupped his face and then bit down on his lips. Just as she was about to pull away, however, Fu Zimo pressed the back of her head against him.
He was domineering, refusing to let her back down, taking control until she gasped for breath. Only then did he release her red lips.
However, before Qin Luoyan could react, she was already forcefully pressed onto the desk.
"Fu Zimu! I'm in a hurry!" There was no time for this nonsense. Qin Luoyan was getting irritated and was about to push him away.
It's a pity, her strength was insignificant before Fu Zimu, this great god. Fu Zimu simply controlled her restless hands above her head with one hand. His voice was low and his smile resembled a ghostly apparition as he rasped, "This king... is also eager!"
In the study, another wave of ambiguous ripples continued.
In the main courtyard, Jin Mu held Xiao Yijing in his arms standing on the long corridor. He knew that the Lord and Madam had returned from the princess's courtyard, and Xiao Yijing was making a fuss again, so he came holding Xiao Yijing. He intended to have Xiao Yijing eat and drink his fill, but as soon as they reached the courtyard, he heard sounds coming from the study.
As his personal bodyguard, he had heard this voice countless times. Every time he heard it, a feeling of immense frustration welled up inside him.
Sometimes, he really wanted to ask her, was she truly unaware, or pretending not to know Didn't she realize that martial artists had sharper senses and could hear better than ordinary people Every time she called out so loudly, did she think they were all deaf
"Ah, I really wish I could get married," Kimu sighed again. He silently mourned for the brothers who were diligently guarding in the shadows for three minutes. They were all young and energetic lads, constantly tortured by this kind of sound. Who knew if they would eventually be driven mad by it
After a lot of struggle, Qin Luoyan returned to her room. She was so sore and weak that she could barely get up. But thinking about Xiao Fan's current situation, she couldn't relax and rest. She picked up a pen and paper and started sketching on the table.
Zhou Li only arrived at the Prince's Mansion in the afternoon. However, since this was the back garden, it wasn't convenient for Zhou Li, a man, to enter and exit freely. So Qin Luo Yan brought her own drawings and asked Mu He to find an empty room in the front yard as a studio, allowing Zhou Li to meet there.
Qin Luoyan and Zhou Li had met before. This craftsman, who worked as a silversmith, was more professional than the average craftsman. However, because entering the Weapons Bureau's armory workshop was a secret, Qin Luoyan didn't tell Zhou Li her true purpose, only saying that she wanted to make a handy weapon for the Emperor and needed his help.
Zhou Li, upon hearing it was meant for the Emperor, immediately became interested. However, when he saw the contents of the drawing, he was so shocked that his whole body trembled.
