The Regent's Palace.
Mo Beichen returned to the study in the Prince's mansion and gave Ying Tian, who was standing below him, a cold look.
When Ying Tian saw Mo Beichen looking at him, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet Mo Beichen's sharp gaze.
"Do you know your mistake?" Mo Beichen's cold and ruthless voice rang out.
"I have failed in my duty. Please punish me, Master." Ying Tian hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Hmph." Mo Beichen snorted coldly, "You know you're wrong? Do you even know where you went wrong?"
Ying Tian replied firmly, "I almost let the assassination attempt affect Miss Wang. This was my mistake. Please punish me, Master."
"You know that's good. But do you know what will happen if you make the same mistake again?" Mo Beichen continued, his tone icy and chilling.
"Your subordinate acknowledges your fault and will be more careful next time!"
"Alright, now I have a task for you. Take this token and send men into Tianyi Tower. Find a way to incite infighting among the people inside, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop, leaving no one alive." Mo Beichen tossed a token to him.
Ying Tian caught the token and nodded quickly, "Yes, Your subordinate obeys!"
"Remember, this news must not be leaked that it was the Shadow Pavilion's doing," Mo Beichen instructed. Such matters must be handled in secrecy.
"yes."
"Go." Mo Beichen waved his hand, dismissing Ying Tian.
A carriage and several mounted guards are heading towards the capital of Qi Cang Kingdom.
A guard rode up to the carriage quickly.
"Young Master, Second Young Master, their mission failed. Not only did they fail in the assassination, but it is said that the Lord of the Pavilion is also dead," the guard said respectfully to the people inside the carriage.
"What? The lord is dead?" A gloomy male voice came from inside the carriage. "Damn it, what are they good for? A bunch of useless trash!"
The guards were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they didn't dare to utter a sound.
Soon, a gentle male voice came from inside the carriage: "Second brother, don't worry. If we can't kill him even with more than a hundred assassins, it seems that Mo Beichen is indeed very skilled in martial arts. We'll have to think of another way."
"Have you been discovered to be the assassin we hired?" the gentle-looking man in the car asked again.
"Don't worry, young master, I've already taken care of it. They have no way of finding out that we hired the assassins," the guard quickly replied.
"That's good. We can't be exposed," the man said calmly.
“Yes, young master,” the guard replied.
"Big brother, second brother, is that Mo Beichen really that powerful?" the woman in the carriage asked in confusion.
"This time we underestimated Mo Beichen. We originally wanted to have him assassinated, but we didn't expect him to kill us instead."
Regardless, this Mo Beichen is no pushover. Since this path is blocked, we'll have to think of another way." The composed man sighed softly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
The next day, the Ministry of Works personnel sent by Emperor Yongshun to study arrived at Wang Simeng's residence in the suburbs of Beijing.
Wang Simeng was slightly surprised to see that the leader was Mo Beichen.
Mo Beichen brought six mechanical engineering professionals and several architectural masters with him.
"Miss Wang!" Several people bowed to Wang Simeng.
Everyone felt that an ordinary woman wouldn't need such treatment. But Miss Wang was different; she was there to teach them, and although she couldn't be called their mentor, she still deserved to be treated with respect.
"Greetings, esteemed sirs." Wang Simeng quickly greeted them with a smile and cupped her hands in a respectful gesture.
"You're too kind, Miss Wang," everyone quickly replied.
Wang Simeng led everyone into the living room and instructed them to prepare breakfast.
Seeing how approachable Wang Simeng was, the workers from the Ministry of Works felt much more at ease.
They knew that Wang Simeng was the one who provided the equipment, and they had come here to learn how to use it, as they would need her guidance in the future.
If Miss Wang has a bad temper, it will ultimately affect their efficiency in learning the equipment. They all have tasks assigned by the Emperor, so naturally they don't want any mistakes to occur while learning the equipment.
Wang Simeng asked everyone to sit down, and then sat down herself in the middle of the group.
Mo Beichen sat on a chair to the side, quietly watching Wang Simeng talk to those people, his eyes full of doting affection.
After everyone was seated, Wang Simeng said, "Gentlemen, since the Emperor sent you all, I believe you are all talented in this field, so I will not beat around the bush."
After we finish breakfast, we'll go outside, and I'll teach everyone how to use the equipment and explain the usage methods and procedures for the building materials.
The adults breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Wang Simeng say that.
Although they were all students of mechanical engineering, they were not very clear about what Wang Simeng was talking about, and did not know how important those building materials were.
"Okay, we'll follow Miss Wang's arrangements."
"Hmm, please have some tea first." Wang Simeng had tea poured for everyone.
Soon, breakfast was ready in the kitchen. Wang Simeng led everyone to the dining room.
"My lords, these are just simple home-cooked meals, please don't find them offensive."
Everyone shook their heads upon hearing Wang Simeng's words.
"Thank you, Miss Wang. This meal is quite sumptuous. We are not picky eaters and can enjoy it," said an older official from the Ministry of Works, smiling as he looked at the table full of delicious food.
"Yes! This food is really good!"
"These dishes look very exquisite."
Everyone took their seats, and Mo Beichen sat next to Wang Simeng.
"Miss Wang's breakfast is really delicious."
"......"
