10.7 Equipment update, capital wind rises

"So, we need to send these things to the sisters as soon as possible?" In the early morning of the next day, after Wei Xu took the two girls beside him for morning exercises, Xue Baochai's lazy voice sounded.

"Yes, Xiuxun is currently in retreat and hasn't come out so far, so don't worry about it." Wei Xu smiled lightly, "You and the other sisters at home have them, but Dongfang and Yu'er need them most, but they just don't have them." , we can only send someone to deliver it.”

Of course, "Maoshan Artifact Refining Art" is not only about weapon refining. In fact, the most famous ability of Maoshan School has never been head-to-head. , can only be said to be at a moderate level.

The most famous "services" of Taoist priests in Maoshan have always been painting symbols to catch ghosts and feng shui to ward off evil spirits. The reason for carrying a sword is more for safety reasons. Therefore, the most common "services" in "Smelting Artifacts" auxiliary props.

For example, the gossip mirror that can break through the appearance and show the ghosts and ghosts in their original form, the golden sword that is especially effective against zombies, the golden bean that is a prop for "spreading beans into soldiers", the apricot yellow Taoist robe that looks upright and even fairy-like, etc.

Of course Wei Xu does not need to prepare the so-called "professional props", but some offensive or defensive things are still needed, so he prepared a set for all the girls, which also took six years in the world of "Liao Zhai" One of the main reasons is that the demand is too great.

Basically, every girl has a gossip demon mirror, a set of regular-style robes made from the skin of monsters over 500 years ago, a treasure bag that can permanently store various talismans, and a large number of consumable talismans.

And they are all customized according to each person's preferences. For example, Lin Daiyu is wearing a snow-white lady's dress for the same robe, but all the design with fluttering belts has been cancelled, plus slimming details, and a hooded trench coat is added. By the way, the mopping feature is removed.

But when it came to Dongfang Bai, it was a set of fiery red warrior uniforms, and a cloak of the same color was added, which completely matched the leader's usual flamboyant personality and dazzling style.

The same is true for weapons. For example, Wei Xu himself has a two-foot long halberd plus a two-foot short knife, Shi Xiangyun has become a six-foot heavy long sword, Du Dao Saeko has a six-foot straight-backed miao knife, and Dongfang Bai has two two-foot four short swords. , the other girls have a unified five-foot long sword, and all the girls except Dongfang have a one-foot-eight short sword/knife.

"Brother Xu, let Sister Qin go there, and follow Sister Bai and Sister Lin when you get there, but you need to retreat first, and bring your cultivation to the Golden Core stage. Our sisters are stronger and can help you better." Home." Xue Baochai said softly.

"Well, this girl is really self-motivated. Your sister has practiced for so long, but now she is no better than others." Wei Xu smiled and gave her a hooked nose, "I will work hard in the future, and leave the matter to you." Next, you also retreat!"

"Brother Xu, don't worry, Qin'er and I will not relax." Xue Baochai murmured and slipped into Wei Xu's arms.

"Master, it's still the same over there in the past three months, and both sides are grinding foreign workers." Saeko Busujima said with a chuckle, "Sister Bai is not sure, although she has 2 elite soldiers now, they are scattered in half of Jiangxi Province , There are only more than [-] troops that can really maneuver.

Although the miscellaneous soldiers recruited later have also undergone training, their overall combat effectiveness is still far behind. It may be possible to defend the city, but it must be assisted by elite soldiers or to suppress the field. status, but unable to level the Jingying in Jiangbei. "

"The Beijing camp is also stepping up training and preparing for war, but they are not willing to invest resources. The soldiers can only say that they are barely full and cannot conduct high-intensity training at all. The actual effect is limited." procrastinating.

On the other hand, Emperor Yongzheng in the capital city has become more and more impatient, but this time the civil and military sides have rarely reached a consensus, that is, they are powerless to attack. Anyway, Wu Xun only needs to say that the troops are insufficient and need to be supplemented and strengthened. There is no money and food. "

"Is there any other news?" Wei Xu frowned. Although the conflict between imperial power and ministerial power has always been in any period in history, the current situation is obviously too exaggerated, and it is not normal anyway.

"Basically, Yongzheng has realized that neither the civil nor the military can dominate, so he intends to win over the nobles, but both the idea and the means are too amateurish, not only failing to achieve the goal, but offending both sides.

The civil servants realized that Yongzheng wanted to change direction, so they deliberately showed their strength. Of course, the court really lacked money and food.

But Wu Xun can't trust Yongzheng at all. Even if he knows that the other party intends to woo him, he still only gets close to a limited extent. In addition, with Feng Tang's lessons learned, all the army leaders are afraid that when the army is wiped out, they should also be gone. .

Therefore, except for Emperor Yongzheng himself and his few diehard loyalists, the entire imperial court in the capital was working hard, which led to the current situation. " Saeko Busushima said with a smile.

"How is Feng Tang?" Wei Xu thought of Jia Yingchun, who was already married. "I remember that the loss of the Three Thousand Battalion was not too big, only more than 2000 people, right? It shouldn't be dealt with directly, right?" Not only that, after the loss of the [-] battalion, they replenished their troops once more, and then were defeated by Xiu Xun's sister in a night attack. The total loss had exceeded [-]% of the absolute combat strength. Yong Zheng only reprimanded several times.

Unexpectedly, his intention to urge Wu Xun to put down the rebellion as soon as possible, but it touched the other party's nerves. He remembered the days when the chief minister and ministers were in danger in the late Ming Dynasty, but no one could move the army below, so they all conserved their strength. "Saeko Busushima said disdainfully.

"Where's the Dragon Head Palace?" Wei Xu didn't dare to forget the old fox, "Will the Supreme Emperor just watch it continue?"

"I have already established direct contact with the empress. According to her news, combined with our intelligence network in the capital, the Supreme Emperor may really be unable to hold on. These days, the forces in the Dragon Head Palace are becoming more and more silent." Saeko Poison Island Answer softly.

"No!" Wei Xu frowned, because up to now, the court's general direction still conforms to the main line of the original "Red Mansion", and the Supreme Emperor shouldn't leave so early, "We didn't make direct arrangements for the Dragon Head Palace, did we?"

"I can't get in. We bribed a few people, but it soon became silent. It's the territory of the royal guards, and we can't get in at all." Saeko Busujima was also very helpless, "All the news came from side inquiries. "

"Brother Xu is worried, is the Supreme Emperor pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?" Xue Baochai asked after reacting.

"If you want to eat a tiger, you can't go wrong, but it shouldn't be 'pretending to be a pig'. His condition can't be hidden from anyone who cares about it. I'm afraid the hospital director can't tell exactly how many families the group of people in the hospital are divided into, let alone keep it secret." to speak of.

But I can't figure out, under such circumstances, what else can make them finally come back, even if Wu Xun is all brain-dead, desperate to work for the royal family, it is no longer a big deal to us. "Wei Xu really couldn't figure it out.

"Then don't worry too much about it. As the saying goes, 'there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain', I believe that no matter what the royal family wants to do, sooner or later there will be a leak." Saeko Busujima also tried her best, but did not find any something meaningful.

"At this stage, Yongzheng's possible actions are the most likely to directly cause changes." Wei Xu didn't bother to think about it, "Do we have any reliable or major changes now?"

"Yongzheng has used the expected means, and has officially released the rumor that he wants to seal the harem. The news of Yuanchun's concubine has also spread, and she has been sleeping at the beginning of the year, and was arranged to Fengzao Palace last month. A side hall, no longer need to serve as a maid.

However, this news did not arouse any substantive response in Wuxun in the capital. On the night when the news came out, all the families of Wuxun in Beijing gathered in the Zhen Guogong Mansion. respond to this.

As for the civil servants, Wu Ying, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, was ordered to enter the palace several times. We have not found out the specific situation, but one thing is certain, his daughter is also in the palace. Saeko Busushima replied with a smile.

"It seems that she is the Concubine Wu mentioned in the plot of the original "Concubine Yuan Concubine". In the current Yongzheng Harem, only Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu are in place, and the positions of Concubine Liang and Concubine De are vacant. "Wei Xu didn't take it seriously.

The determination of the position of the harem concubine has never been just or even related to love. Most of the time, it is the product of interest exchange or even compromise. Taking this time as an example, Yuan Chun was born as a martial artist, and Concubine Wu Gui was born as a civil servant.

However, the current situation is very special, no matter whether it is a civil servant or a general, they are all indifferent to Emperor Yongzheng, so that when the palace is released to select concubines, no one cares about them, and they can only embarrassingly promote those who have already entered the palace.

"This Yongzheng is pitiful enough. Even though the Rongguo Mansion has now been expelled from the Wuxun lineage, and even though Yuanchun is 26 years old and can be classified as a 'woman' according to feudal conventions, Emperor Yongzheng can only choose her. Come break the game.

On the other hand, Concubine Wu can understand that she is currently the one with the highest family background in the harem of civil officials, but when she entered the palace, Wu Ying was just an ordinary local official, not the dignified left servant of the official department.

Otherwise, according to the pissing nature of civil servants, the dignified second in command of the official department would never send his daughter to the palace, and he couldn't afford to lose that person. Xue Baochai couldn't help laughing, she was always more concerned about these things.

"Never mind these things, anyway, it's still in the 'preparation' stage. When the matter is officially confirmed, let's talk about the specific arrangements." Wei Xu really has no idea about this.

"Huh!" *2.
