Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 421 The Mechanism Beast That Shocked the World (1 More)
The young man in purple is none other than the eldest prince Zhao Xi.

He went out of the palace today to ask the head of the household, Mr. Qi, to help design and cast a hidden weapon.

And Mr. Qi was recommended by Song Yuanbao.

Seeing Song Yuanbao's attitude of "eating soft rice" with peace of mind, Zhao Xi turned his eyes away and didn't look at him again.

Not long after, a well-dressed guard appeared at the entrance of the alley. After approaching, he cupped his hands and reported to Zhao Xi, "My subordinates have already found out that Mr. Qi is indeed a master of mechanisms, but his temper is a bit weird. He doesn't want to design things." , It doesn’t matter how much money you spend.”

Hearing what the guard said, Zhao Xi thought that when he showed the sketch to Elder Qi for a review just now, the other party just glanced at him and refused, saying that what Zhao Xi wanted was too simple, and he didn't intend to waste time.

At first, Zhao Xi couldn't figure it out. It took him several months to figure out those sketches. Even the commander of the Royal Weapons Battalion was full of praise after seeing them. In the hands of Mr. Qi, they turned into a pile of useless waste paper?

It wasn't until Song Yuanbao accidentally touched the mechanism beast that Qi Lao covered with curtains that he was shocked for a moment, and suddenly understood why Qi Lao didn't like his own design.

Zhao Xi grew up so big, and he has never seen such an exquisite thing. Using the mechanism principle, he can combine seemingly ordinary materials into one piece, make it move spontaneously, and attack people as long as he knows how to operate it.

Zhao Xi was thinking at the time, if this kind of thing could be magnified ten times or twenty times or even bigger, and let it appear on the battlefield, the soldiers of the Great Chu would be able to reduce their sacrifices, thus ensuring the possibility of winning the battle to a greater extent.

Before going out, Elder Qi also said to him, "Young man, wait for the people under your command to find a more complicated mechanism beast map, and it won't be too late for you to come see me again."

This sentence made it clear that the other party knew his identity as the prince early on.

……

The two got into the carriage one after another and were driven by the guards.

When he was about to leave the alley, Zhao Xi lifted the curtain to look in the direction of Qi Lao's house, then put down the curtain to look back, and said to Song Yuanbao: "I didn't ask anyone to find any map, what is Qi Lao's words? What's the meaning?"

Song Yuanbao thought for a while and asked, "Could it be your father... father?"

Zhao Xi fell into deep thought when he heard this.

Before today, he had never seen an organ beast, but he had read historical records that there was a Liu family in the Jin Dynasty who specialized in designing organ weapons. At that time, their country was being invaded by foreign enemies, and the emperor at that time invited the head of the Liu family into the palace. In the end, relying on those powerful weapons to win more with less, they turned the tide of battle strongly.

It's a pity that the emperor was too suspicious. He was worried that the Liu family would wait for an opportunity to rebel in the future, so he simply killed the donkey and bloodbathed the Liu family.

There is another version of this story——

The emperor saw the strength of the mechanism weapons, and wanted to take them as his own, and forced the Liu family to hand over all the maps. The patriarch refused, so he was exterminated. Those blueprints may have been smashed along with the Liu family, or Left behind by the people.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xi thought, could it be possible that the father really made people look for the weapon map in secret?
But hundreds of years have passed since the Jin Dynasty, how could they still be found?

……

Xue Yinhuan was dripping with cold sweat under the seat, she never expected that she would get into the carriage of the eldest prince Zhao Xi by accident.

What was even more unexpected was that the eldest prince would leave the palace today.

The space in the dark compartment is small and cramped, and Xue Yinhuan can't even take a good breath, so she can only breathe lightly as much as possible.

Through the small square hole on the front baffle of the dark compartment, she vaguely saw the corner of the robe hanging down from the seat, which was a luxurious purple, with dark silver threads interspersed in the embroidery pattern, and from Xue Yinhuan's angle, she could see the delicate shine.

The carriage continued to move forward.

Xue Yinhuan had been bored in the dark cell for a long time, and began to feel dizzy.

Fortunately, the driver's skills were stable, so she wouldn't faint on the spot, and it shouldn't be a problem to make it to the gate of the imperial city.

Xue Yinhuan was thinking about how to get down without anyone noticing for a while, when he suddenly noticed that the two people who were talking in the carriage had stopped, now except for the sound of the wheels outside, the inside was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

She tried her best to hold her breath so as not to show her flaws, but she didn't expect that Zhao Xi would suddenly light incense at this time.

The smell of aromatherapy first entered the nose, and there was a slight discomfort.

Xue Yinhuan was someone who had been bored in the dark cell for so long, so naturally she couldn't bear it, she endured it again and again, but in the end she couldn't hold it back, and sneezed out.

Immediately afterwards, she was so scared by the sound of her own sneezing that her face turned pale. She strained her ears to listen, and found that the carriage was quiet.

After a few moments, the young prince's deep voice came to his ears, "You haven't come out yet, do you want me to invite you in person?"

Song Yuanbao clicked his tongue, "This assassin's hiding is too poor."

Xue Yinhuan can imagine his cold and penetrating eyes without having to look at Zhao Xi.

Biting her lip, she whispered, "You two make way first, before I can come out."

Song Yuanbao became more interested, "It turned out to be a female assassin?"

Zhao Xi didn't speak, and got up to get out of the way.

The incense just lit had the magical effect of making the whole body sore and weak. He and Song Yuanbao had already taken the antidote in advance, so there was no need to worry. As for the one in the dark cell, no matter how good her skills were, she would not be able to use her strength again when she came out.

Xue Yinhuan pushed open the sliding door of the hidden compartment and finally climbed out, only to find that his whole body was extremely weak.

She tried her best to stand up, but halfway through standing up, she fell forward.

No one reached out to catch her.

It was impossible for Zhao Xi to do that, so he stepped out of the way.

Song Yuanbao didn't dare to do that. He had already seen clearly that the woman hiding in the carriage was Xue Yinhuan. Don't think about it, she must have come down for His Highness. He was only thinking of His Highness. If he reached out to pick her up, there would inevitably be physical contact. It's not right.

Ever since, the two well-dressed teenagers just watched the flowery beauty fall to the ground.

Xue Yinhuan's jaw hit the floor, and he gasped in pain, but his consciousness was still clear. At this moment, he regretted that he didn't follow his aunt's advice and continue shopping, otherwise, how could so many bad things happen?
Before she could finish thinking, Zhao Xi's expressionless eyes swept over her, "The first time I kicked the shuttlecock on me was an accident, and the second time I met it under the ancient locust tree was a coincidence, Miss Xue, this is the third time. What is the reason?"

"I……"

Xue Yinhuan's eyes revealed an indefinable sense of powerlessness.

After a while, she said in a low voice, "If the court lady says that this time is also a coincidence, does your Highness believe it?"

Zhao Xi stopped the guards driving outside and ordered Xue Yinhuan, "Get out of the car!"

Just as Xue Yinhuan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go down, when he thought of something, he had to turn his head to look at Zhao Xi, "My daughter was hunted down earlier, thanks to His Majesty's rescue, I am very grateful, look... can you be a good person?" In the end, send me out of this street? I will definitely go down at the street corner, and I won't be entangled with His Highness."

"Get out of the car!" Zhao Xi's voice was a few degrees colder than before.

Xue Yinhuan had no choice but to look at Song Yuanbao for help.

Song Yuanbao spread his hands, "Your Majesty, there is no love for children, only the exchange of benefits. If you want to stay, you can do it. You have to pay something, right?"

This is to give her a chance in disguise.

Xue Yinhuan immediately grasped the key point, "I know Mr. Qi you just mentioned."

Zhao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly.

Xue Yinhuan explained: "He is a good friend of my grandfather, and occasionally he would go to our house to drink. Once I went to deliver wine to them, and I heard Mr. Qi say a word outside the door."

"What?" Zhao Xi asked.

Xue Yinhuan said: "Unless Your Highness agrees to send me out of this street, there is no need for my daughter to confess."

Zhao Xi let out a soft snort, "My prince underestimated you."

Seeing that the other party pursed his lips tightly and did not intend to say any more, he finally let go, "Speak."

Xue Yinhuan pointed to himself, "Your Highness poisoned me."

Zhao Xi signaled Song Yuanbao to give her the antidote with his eyes.

Xue Yinhuan took it with great effort, took the antidote to confirm that she could move freely, she squatted down against the side wall, and repeated what she heard at the time.

"Old Qi said that he has been waiting for the divine soldier to appear in the world."

"Spiritual weapon?" Song Yuanbao asked, "What kind of magical weapon?"

Xue Yinhuan recalled carefully, "He was quite drunk, I didn't hear clearly whether he was talking about Liu or Liu, and my grandfather didn't understand either. He just thought he was talking nonsense."

Speaking of this, she timidly raised her eyes to look at Zhao Xi, "I wonder if this will help His Highness?"

Zhao Xi didn't say anything.

He thought again of the situation when he met Mr. Qi just now. Mr. Qi said that there are even more powerful mechanism beasts, so does it mean that Liu's magic weapon is actually a huge mechanism beast that can shock the world?

Could it be that when the Liu family was wiped out, not only was the atlas not destroyed, but it was also preserved intact?

Thinking of this possibility, combined with the fact that someone in the royal family was secretly looking for the map, Zhao Xi had some calculations in his mind.
