The night is quiet and the stars are dimly shining.
Fu Xiaoguan sat in Taoranting, smiling brightly.
"Xiaobai, Ruoxi is not an ordinary woman. The Divine Sword training subjects do not need to be reserved for Ruoxi. If she wants to participate, I can guarantee that she will at least be able to become the leader of the group when she graduates."
"Of course, that depends on what you mean."
Bai Yulian looked at Fu Xiaoguan deeply. Even though the Divine Sword training subject was for His Majesty, it was a simplified version. Wen Ruoxi was from the Wu Dynasty. Of course, Fu Xiaoguan was also from the Wu Dynasty and a prince of the Wu Dynasty. However, it seemed that this kid Fu Xiaoguan didn't care much about the affairs of the Wu Dynasty.
Therefore, Bai Yulian believed that a textbook-like training manual like the Divine Sword should not be known to a woman from the Wu Dynasty.
But Fu Xiaoguan didn't care. This woman was indeed to his liking, so he nodded.
Wen Ruoxi was overjoyed and bowed to Fu Xiaoguan. "Should I call you His Highness? Or Young Master?"
"Don't bother with those empty words, just call me Master."
"Are you really not going back to the Wu Dynasty? I heard that the Queen Mother promised Nangong Dongxue to you."
The gift that Wu Linger gave to Fu Xiaoguan was still on the way, and he didn't know that Nangong Dongxue also brought him a letter.
This cannot be blamed on Wu Linger's negligence, but because Fu Xiaoguan's marriage was too hasty.
Fan Tianning of Fan State and Yan Hanyu of Yi State both sent gifts to Fu Xiaoguan after learning the news, but they are now on their way.
"It's great for Ling'er to be the empress. Who says women can't be emperors? But do you know what disease Ling'er has?"
Wen Ruoxi shook her head. "I only heard that he never came out after moving into Jinghu Villa. The imperial physician also never came out after he went in. Even when he needed medicine, it was said that the imperial physician would write the prescription and Ning Siyan would go and buy it..."
Wen Ruoxi bit her lip, her face a little worried, "It sounds like it's quite serious."
Fu Xiaoguan was silent for a moment. "With the two prime ministers and Empress Dowager Xi here, there will be no chaos in the Wu Dynasty."
He turned to look at Su Su and Su Rou and asked, "I've been so busy these days. Where has Big Brother gone?"
Su Su pursed her lips, and Su Rou lowered her eyes, looking forlorn. She whispered, "A few days ago in Pingling County, we had a fight with the ten people led by Miao Xiaoxiao, the Right Protector of the Moon Worshiping Cult. He was slightly injured and has returned to the temple to recuperate."
Fu Xiaoguan was shocked. Su Jue was a powerful man who was about to step into the Saint level, but he was injured!
Su Rou said it lightly, but Fu Xiaoguan knew that the injury was probably not a small one.
He frowned, "Why would the Moon Worship Cult go to Pingling?"
Su Su raised her head and looked at Fu Xiaoguan, saying, "Go and kill those people who work in your cement workshop."
Oh my god!
These bastards are going too far!
"Did you succeed?"
"Thankfully, Senior Brother brought us here in time, and those civilians were not harmed, but Senior Brother was injured."
"Miao Xiaoxiao is very powerful?"
"Half a step to Sainthood, don't you think it's amazing?"
Fu Xiaoguan was shocked. "How serious is the injury of Senior Brother?"
Su Rou raised her eyes and said, "He won't die. He is a master of Qi Huang. He is much better than Miao Xiaoxiao. Even if Miao Xiaoxiao doesn't die, he will probably be skinned alive!"
What Fu Xiaoguan didn’t know was that Su Rou went crazy that day!
When Su Jue and Miao Xiaoxiao burst out with thunderous force in the last sword strike, when Su Jue's wooden sword broke through Miao Xiaoxiao's protective true qi and pierced Miao Xiaoxiao's abdomen, Miao Xiaoxiao's knife almost simultaneously split Su Jue's hat and chopped the crow away. Su Jue dodged slightly, but it was too late.
The knife cut across Su Jue's left forehead, crossed the bridge of his nose, and ended under his right cheek.
Su Rou went crazy on the spot. She stabbed Miao Xiaoxiao with her embroidery needle frantically. The red thread on the needle cut off piece after piece of Miao Xiaoxiao's flesh.
All ten men brought by Miao Xiaoxiao died, but she used the blood-transforming technique to escape in the end.
So the injury Su Jue suffered, to put it lightly, was that it did not damage his martial arts foundation; to put it seriously, his handsome face would probably never exist again.
Fu Xiaoguan took a deep breath and said in a very low voice, "Moon Worship Cult, Xiaobai, the Divine Sword Army must definitely go to Xirong. After you return to Xishan, the first thing you should do is to recruit soldiers as soon as possible, and the second thing you should do is to have the Firearms Bureau mass-produce flintlock rifles. Qin Chengye went to Pingling, and Feng Laosi also brought a group of people to Pingling.
If all goes well, Pingling will establish a new firearms bureau to produce a brand new weapon. With this weapon, the Divine Sword Army will no longer be afraid of those martial arts masters..."
Fu Xiaoguan thought a lot about the Western Rong and the Moon Worship Sect.
It is not a problem for the Excalibur Special Forces to enter Minshan Mountain, cross the plank road, and break through the miasma. The biggest problem is that almost all the members of the Moon Worship Sect are green forest masters!
While flintlock rifles could still kill Green Forest experts, the flying Green Forest experts in the mountains still posed a serious threat to the lives of the Excalibur Special Forces. The flintlock rifles had a limited range and could only be reloaded three times a minute. The Excalibur soldiers were ordinary people, and their eyes and ears were not as sharp as those of Green Forest experts. In the intervals between reloading, they could easily be cut down by Green Forest experts.
But if a pistol were ever developed, even the simplest version, the Excalibur would be able to fight against the Green Forest masters.
Bai Yulian didn't ask what new tricks Fu Xiaoguan had tinkered with. He nodded and said, "I have already given orders to Chen Po to station 1,000 troops in each of Pingling and Quyi counties, and recruit new soldiers at the same time. The new soldiers will be trained in the Pingling Mountains, and the veterans will join in batches. When they have nothing to do, they can go to the Desolate Country to cut grass, which will be used as riding training."
Just as Fu Xiaoguan and Bai Yulian were discussing the future plans for the magic sword, Eunuch Nian, who was beside Queen Shang, walked in.
He bowed to Fu Xiaoguan and handed over a secret letter. "The latest news from Xiyu Tower: The Queen means... Young Master, please take a look!"
Fu Xiaoguan took it and unfolded it, then frowned again.
"On the second day of the eleventh month of the ninth year of the Xuanli calendar, just one day after our eastern border troops defeated the 500,000-strong Yi army and attempted to continue their eastward advance, followers of the Moon Worship Cult appeared in Tailin City, the capital of the Yi Kingdom.
Mr. Ji has verified that more than ten Moon Worshiping Cult bandits, led by Great Elder Mo Wen, met with the Yi Kingdom's king. The two men conversed in a secret room for a day. On the fourth day of the eleventh month, the bandits left Tailin City and headed for the Desolate Kingdom.
The information was simple, but Fu Xiaoguan read it three times, then looked up and asked, "Who is the person from the Yi Kingdom who came to negotiate peace?"
Eunuch Nian bowed and replied, "Yi State Crown Prince Yan Liangze is the leader."
"Can you see the clues now?"
Eunuch Nian shook his head. Official Fu pondered for a moment and said, "I want all the information about Yan Liangze."
