Gu Miao: My Wife Turns Things Around

Huang Qice's nightmare was indeed cured by Qiu Yanping, and the promised reward was continuously sent from the Prince's Mansion to the single apartment where Qiu Yanping used to live that day, so as not to expose the fact that Qiu Yanping lived in the General's Mansion.

Qiu Yanping requested a lot of materials, so he stood in his own apartment to supervise the work, watching his small studio apartment being filled with box after box of materials. In the end, there was not much room left to rest. He felt a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart. After he sent the servants away, Gu Wenye came in from outside. Seeing the open boxes all over the floor, he was stunned by the valuable materials inside.

In addition to some rare herbs, Gu Wenye also saw several huge skeletons of famous beasts in the interstellar space, which were disassembled and packed into boxes.

He could guess some of the uses of the herbs, but he couldn't see why Qiu Yanping would need these bones, except for the scientific team of genetic research and development and the equipment research team who would buy them at a high price.

Qiu Yanping saw Gu Wenye's confusion, but since Gu Wenye didn't ask directly, he played dumb and didn't explain.

Shen Shenzhi's reward was also delivered on this day. Among the materials that Qiu Yanping asked for, there was a very rare cuneiform plant. It took Shen Shenzhi some time to collect it, and he only received it today.

Deer's Head Wood belongs to the family of wedge-leaved plants, with small wedge-shaped leaves and thick rhizomes. Because it grows in highlands and is located at extremely high altitudes, Deer's Head Wood has the therapeutic effect of invigorating qi and blood. However, this effect can usually be replaced by other herbs, so few people will specifically collect this kind of herb that grows in a very picky environment and has no special uses.

But Qiu Yanping knew that the Deer Head Wood actually had another name. In his timeline, it was called the Sealing Wood. The trunk was thick and straight, and could reach a height of thirty meters. Its use was to be made into a ruler.

People say that a Feng Shui master can make a living with just a compass, a bagua mirror and a Feng Shui sword, but in fact, they sometimes need to use quite a few other small props, including a ruler.

Lu Ban ruler, Xunlong ruler and Ding Lan ruler, these three rulers are commonly used by their Feng Shui masters.

Sealing wood is different from other trees. It is a type of wood specifically used to make rulers in the Feng Shui industry. Qiu Yanping has no idea why this type of wood was chosen to make rulers. He only knows that this is a rule passed down by his ancestors and no one has ever broken it.

Although Qiu Yanping is a bit radical in his swordsmanship and used to go against the great elder of his family, he has become much more honest since being struck by lightning. There must be a reason for being obedient, right?

The merit store in Qiu Yanping's palm can be exchanged for a ruler. As soon as Qiu Yanping saw the merit starlight he needed, his energy wilted. A ruler was about to deduct all the merit starlight from his body. What was the point of playing then?

So Qiu Yanping came up with the idea of ​​making his own ruler. After all, he could draw every detail of these guys with his eyes closed. As long as he had the raw materials, there would be no problem.

Shen Shenzhi brought over the sealing wood that Qiu Yanping needed most. Qiu Yanping's attitude towards Shen Shenzhi immediately became much better, which made Shen Shenzhi a little flattered. He subconsciously glanced at Gu Wenye. Brother Gu looked at him with a very heavy look in his eyes, and Shen Shenzhi shuddered.

"Actually, actually I have another matter this time..." Shen Shenzhi said a little embarrassedly, "It's about the prince. The prince wants to invite you to come again. It seems that he has some unspeakable secrets..."

Gu Wenye frowned slightly, "Huang Qi Ce asked you to invite Mr. Qiu over?"

"It's not like they haven't cooperated before. Why doesn't he send his own people over here in person?" Qiu Yanping heard Gu Wenye's doubts and asked with a raised eyebrow.

Shen Shenzhi also wondered why, but he had already arrived at Qiu Yanping's apartment before he figured out the reason. He hesitated for a long time, shook his head, and said, "I don't know either."

Gu Wenye hesitated for a moment, then turned to Qiu Yanping and said, "I have been with Huang Qi Ce for some time and know his character. He should have doubted your identity and position."

"The close relationship between the General's Office and Shen Zhi is known to everyone. Huang Qi Ce wants to invite you again through Shen Zhi. Perhaps he thinks that you have a close relationship with me, and Shen Zhi and I have been friends since childhood. You will agree to Shen Zhi's requests several times for my sake." He paused and said, "In other words, if you agree to Shen Zhi's request this time, it means that you are on my side."

Qiu Yanping's mind was also very active, and he quickly caught up with Gu Wenye's thoughts. He raised his eyebrows, turned to look at Shen Shenzhi, who had a look of sudden enlightenment, and said, "Please tell the prince, Mr. Shen, to be sincere when requesting someone, and come in person. If you think it's unnecessary, then don't come to me."

Shen Shenzhi nodded, "I understand."

Shen Shenzhi told Huang Qice word for word about Qiu Yanping's refusal. Huang Qice did not get angry but laughed instead and said, "It is said in the upper circles that Qiu Yanping has a perverse personality, does not accept soft or hard tactics, and does not distinguish between imperial food and money. Now it seems to be true. But it doesn't matter. Qiu Yanping has the ability, and he is qualified to be arrogant because of it. Then I will go and invite him in person!"

Huang Qi Ce and Huang Yu Tian exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.

Huang Qi Ce's face still showed a gray and exhausted feeling. Everyone could see that Huang Qi Ce's condition was not good. Therefore, Huang Qi Ce did not delay at all this time. After delivering a letter to Qiu Yanping's residence, he flew there directly in a special car.

As soon as the visiting letter was sent to Qiu Yanping's residence, it was forwarded to the general's mansion. Qiu Yanping glanced at the visiting letter and threw it into the trash can. In his own small villa, he slowly marked the special measurements on three rulers.

He cut the skin on his palm, and the bleeding palm left a long blood mark on the ruler. "The wind and fire from the nine heavens have arrived, and the mountains and rivers are mixed. The law is enforced!" As soon as he finished speaking, the sky clouds gathered above this small courtyard, thick and rolling, like a big thunder. After a while, they suddenly dispersed.

Qiu Yanping then sprinkled a layer of bone powder ground from white bones on the three rulers, and then covered them with a layer of resin.

He threw the finished ruler into the furnace and roasted it over a raging fire. The ruler was not consumed by the fire at all, but was roasted red all over in the furnace.

After about 749 breaths, Qiu Yanping put on gloves and took out three rulers from the forge one by one with a pair of long-nosed pliers, and then threw them into a large vat of cold water nearby.

This tank of cool water is rootless water that Qiu Yanping has stored for a long time. It took him more than half a month to store this half tank of water.

When the scorching hot ruler entered the cool water, it instantly made a "sizzle" sound and emitted white steam.

Qiu Yanping took out three chilled rulers. He brushed his palm over the three rulers, namely Lu Ban ruler, Xunlong ruler and Ding Lan ruler. As if they were resonating with each other, the three rulers trembled slightly. There seemed to be a buzzing sound when listening carefully. Suddenly, a hair-thin lightning flashed out of thin air, wandered around the three rulers and exploded.

The three rulers were not damaged at all, but the rulers looked particularly tough and had a faint glow.

Qiu Yanping temporarily put the three rulers into the Merit Shop in his palm, because these three rulers were not things in the Merit Shop, and there was no need to deduct the Merit Starlight when taking them out in the future. Instead, he had a small space similar to carrying with him.

After doing all this, Qiu Yanping stretched himself and planned to go back to his small apartment to greet Huang Qice and his group.

Gu Wenye was in the Seventh Department of the Military Department when he heard his men running over in a hurry, saying that a strange phenomenon had suddenly appeared in the sky in the direction of the General's Mansion. He frowned and hurried outside, looking from afar. It seemed that all the clouds in that sky were slowly gathering together over the General's Mansion, giving a feeling of oppression like dark clouds covering a city. However, before Gu Wenye could rush back to the mansion, the thick cloud suddenly dispersed before his eyes.

Gu Wenye happened to bump into Qiu Yanping who was leaving the house. Qiu Yanping raised his eyebrows in surprise, "General Gu?"

Gu Wenye was slightly stunned, "...Mr. Qiu."

"Isn't General Gu in the military headquarters? Why did he suddenly come back?" Qiu Yanping asked.

"My men saw something strange happen in the sky above the General's Mansion. I..." Gu Wenye was interrupted by Qiu Yanping before he could finish his words. He coughed lightly and said, "General Gu, don't worry about it. It's nothing serious."

Gu Wenye was stunned again after hearing this. It took him a few seconds to find his voice. He asked, "Mr. Qiu means... that the strange phenomenon in the sky was caused by Mr. Qiu?"

"Yeah." Qiu Yanping nodded, and he grinned at Gu Wenye, "We are going to deal with the trouble in Huang Qi Ce's mansion, so we have to make some preparations."

Gu Wenye's heart skipped a beat when he saw Qiu Yanping's nonchalant expression. He glanced at the sky above the General's Mansion again, and it had returned to its previous appearance of blue sky and white clouds.

This kind of waving of the hand can bring about dramatic changes in the situation, but in Qiu Yanping's eyes it seems so commonplace, as if it is a daily routine?

"I won't say much. I guess Huang Qice has already arrived at my apartment. I'm leaving first." Qiu Yanping glanced at the time and said hurriedly.

Gu Wenye uttered an "ah", came to his senses, and said, "Then, Mr. Qiu, please be careful. If you have any problems, please contact me. There is an emergency help button on Mr. Qiu's shirt. You only need to take off the button to activate it."

Qiu Yanping raised his eyebrows in surprise. He lowered his head and fiddled with his buttons, saying, "So this thing has this use. I see. General Gu is really thoughtful. Thank you."

"Mr. Qiu, it's better to be careful."
