Fu Yi strode up to Pei Zhiyuan and said in a cold voice, "Your Highness the Regent, long time no see."
Pei Zhiyuan's guards stopped him ten steps away. Pei Zhiyuan raised his hand and signaled the guards to let him go.
"Boss Fu, long time no see."
"Your Highness, the Regent, it's a bit noisy here with so many people around. Would it be convenient for us to move and talk privately?"
Pei Zhiyuan looked at Fu Yi and agreed without thinking much.
Lin Fuxue ordered someone to prepare a private room and brew tea.
Fu Yi said calmly, "Your Highness, the Regent Prince, Haoyue Kingdom has been thriving lately."
Pei Zhiyuan said to him politely, "It's the same. I heard that Boss Fu has established a small court in the southern border and promoted steam power devices. The southern border is now in its heyday."
"Your Highness's goat plan is truly brilliant. In less than two years, the North Sea Kingdom will become your vassal state."
Pei Zhiyuan smiled triumphantly, "Actually, the goat plan was my wife's idea. By the way, my wife is very interested in your steam-powered device and wants to pick a time to come to the southern border to see it for herself.
I just happened to meet Boss Fu here, so I said hello in advance."
Fu Yi was slightly stunned, and his body couldn't help but relax a little, "You want to come to the Southern Territory?"
"Yes, I also want to meet Mr. Jiang, the man who invented the steam device."
Fu Yi smiled politely and glanced at Lin Fuxue, who was sitting beside him with a smile on her face. "Xue'er, I have something I want to discuss with His Royal Highness the Regent in private."
He looked at the guard beside Pei Zhiyuan. Pei Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment and signaled the guard to go out first.
"Boss Fu?"
"I heard that His Royal Highness the Regent used to work at the Xuanjing Division?"
"Yes, that was a long time ago. Boss Fu, is there anything you want to say to me?"
Fu Yi was silent for a moment, then said, "There is indeed something I would like to ask for your help, Your Highness."
"But it's okay."
"Jiang Yu, I once had a good friend who specialized in weapons research. He left a lot of blueprints at my house.
Then she disappeared until I saw the blueprints for the folding crossbow...
I'd like to ask how Your Highness obtained the blueprints, and whether the person who drew them is still alive."
Pei Zhiyuan's face darkened. "Jiang Yu's friend?"
"What's wrong?" Seeing Pei Zhiyuan's unhappy expression, Fu Yi's face also darkened.
"Oh, nothing." Pei Zhiyuan became alert, "This is a secret of our Haoyue Kingdom."
“In fact, Jiang Yu recently made a new discovery in the field of steam power. His good friend used to specialize in mechanical transmission research, so he wanted to meet her and discuss it with her.
Coincidentally, Jiang Yu is also in Xiling City this time. If possible, after attending the banquet, can you take us to Haoyue Country to meet the person who drew the blueprints?"
Fu Yi pursed his lips and added, "We can take out the structural diagram of the steam power plant and study it together."
Pei Zhiyuan was slightly moved when he heard this. He called a guard and said, "Go and invite the princess over."
At this time, Ye Wanqing and Murong Yan were standing outside the door. "Brother, are you talking about business? Can we come in?"
Fu Yi tilted his head slightly and introduced, "This is my sister and brother-in-law."
"Come in."
Ye Wanqing and Murong Yan were blocked by the door curtain, but they immediately guessed Pei Zhiyuan's identity. They looked at each other with serious expressions.
Fu Yi stood up and introduced calmly, "This is His Royal Highness the Regent of Haoyue Country."
Pei Zhiyuan saw Ye Wanqing standing at the door a little nervous, and said kindly: "Don't be restrained, we are all guests, just treat me as an ordinary person."
When the two men walked in, Pei Zhiyuan saw Murong Yan's face clearly and stood up in shock.
Seeing that he looked like he had seen a ghost, Fu Yi clenched his fists in his sleeves and asked, "Your Highness the Regent has met my brother-in-law?"
"Brother-in-law? No." Pei Zhiyuan looked at Murong Yan, hesitated for a long time, and finally swallowed Shen Xu's matter.
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Murong Yan asked, "Your Highness, you seem to know me?"
Pei Zhiyuan immediately denied it, then explained, "You look a bit like my wife's brother."
Ye Wanqing repeated what she had seen in the blueprints and cautiously asked whether the person who drew the blueprints was still alive.
Seeing that they were asking about the drawings again, Pei Zhiyuan simply turned around and asked about the person they described.
The three of them didn't come up with a good speech in time and seemed a little flustered.
"Are you talking about the same person?"
Pei Zhiyuan was a little confused, so he simply asked Murong Yan, "Is she your sister?"
Murong Yan shook his head hesitantly and thought carefully about Pei Zhiyuan's words.
Seeing that Pei Zhiyuan's guards were all standing outside, he gradually lost his patience and said, "Brother, why are you still wasting time talking to him? He has definitely met Ah Xu."
Fu Yi stood up quickly and without saying a word, attacked Pei Zhiyuan with his hard fist.
Murong Yan protected Ye Wanqing and was on guard against the guards outside the door.
Pei Zhiyuan was startled, but he failed to react in time and was punched on the arm.
My shoulder felt numb and painful.
"Protect the emperor!"
The guards rushed in and pointed their guns at the three people in the room.
Pei Zhiyuan subconsciously struggled to break free, but was suddenly grabbed by the throat by the furious Fu Yi.
"Don't move, everyone get out of here, or I'll kill him now!"
Pei Zhiyuan's heart was beating very fast. He was also a master, but he didn't expect that this Southern Territory martial arts master was so high that he had no power to fight back.
"Even if you kill me, you won't be able to escape the siege of the guards... The Haoyue Kingdom will not let you go."
"I just want to ask you one thing, Ah Xu, did you die in Xuan Jingsi?"
"Who is Ao?"
"The person who drew that blueprint." Fu Yi couldn't help but pinch his neck, his eyes red as he raised his voice, "What did you do to her?"
Pei Zhiyuan gritted his teeth in pain and suddenly felt short of breath. Ever since he saw Murong Yan, he had already guessed that they might be her family.
"Ao, is that her name?"
Murong Yan and Ye Wanqing quickly surrounded them, "Did you kill her?"
"No."
"Then where is she? Hand her over to me!" Fu Yi twisted his arm with one hand and locked his throat with the other. The strength of his hands increased and his tone became more urgent.
"Let go of Pei Zhiyuan..." A suppressed low growl sounded at the door.
Several people looked in the direction of the sound and saw a gorgeous horse-faced woman in pleated skirt, a slender figure, an exquisite silver bead necklace on her face, and the face that had tormented them thousands of times in their dreams in the past two years.
Ye Wanqing recognized her own body at a glance, her voice trembling with excitement, "Chen Xu..."
The other two also looked at the person at the door.
Shen Xu tried his best to endure the pain in his head that was about to explode, and his arms trembled slightly.
She pointed her gun at Fu Yi, who was holding Pei Zhiyuan hostage, and warned in a low voice with red eyes.
"I repeat, let him go!"
