Chapter 106 Chapter 106
Chapter 106
Looking at Pei Muyuan, who was happy but totally unlike the soft and sweet granddaughter in his impression, Old Marshal Bai had a stiff face and was unable to utter a word.
But seeing Pei Muyuan looking at him expectantly, Marshal Bai still gritted his teeth and praised him.
"Yuanfu is really becoming more and more like your mother. Your mother was just like you when she was in the army."
This kind of praise was the highest honor for Pei Muyuan, who madly worshipped her mother. She immediately said happily, "Really, Grandpa? Has mother ever been to the logistics department?"
Mr. Bai nodded against his conscience. He really couldn't bear to tell Pei Muyuan that Bai Yue had never worked in logistics back then.
——She beat those young generals directly on the parade ground.
But when it comes to coaxing my granddaughter, there is no need to explain some details so clearly. Anyway, Yue'er did stay in the military camp back then.
Marshal Bai thought guiltily and quickly changed the subject to ask if Pei Muyuan was injured.
"...No grandfather, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and my current cultivation level will only cause trouble to others on the battlefield." Pei Muyuan said seriously.
The sense of loyalty of dying together in those stories does seem touching, but those who are incompetent and cause trouble to others, even if they don't have that intention, have become accomplices of the enemy in actual actions.
Although she could also use the talismans left by her mother on the battlefield, her combat skills were not as good as those of other soldiers who had already cultivated spiritual awareness.
The spiritual consciousness of these soldiers is even more resilient than Yuanbao's.
That was actually trained on the battlefield.
but……
When Pei Muyuan said this, there was still some sadness on her beautiful face.
She has been practicing for a year, but she can only condense a little spiritual consciousness. She can't even cover the surface of her body with that spiritual consciousness like her brother.
Even though Yuanbao had a master to teach her, her mother almost gave her her heart, but she failed her mother's expectations...
Marshal Bai knew at a glance that Yuanfu was getting stuck in a rut again. He sighed inwardly but spoke to Pei Muyuan gently.
"Yuanfu, you have only been practicing for a year. Although His Majesty has issued a practice manual, you can't rush into practicing. His Majesty was able to practice so quickly because the Imperial Master found a method that suits him."
Marshal Bai said comfortingly, "Your mother also said that the most taboo thing for cultivators is impatience. Since you have already cultivated your spiritual consciousness, you have already stepped half a foot into the great way. You only need to wait for your mother to return to the sect to deal with things and bring you the appropriate skills, and then you can rest assured."
Pei Muyuan listened to the expression on Marshal Bai's face on the screen. Although he was still a little anxious, he forced a smile at Marshal Bai.
Marshal Bai understood the matter and could only wait for Pei Muyuan to figure it out himself. He did not say much but stayed by Pei Muyuan's side during the rest of the inspection.
After today's condolences, the morale of the soldiers on the battlefield increased significantly, and the soldiers on the opposite side were simply replaced by a new group of people.
Marshal Bai didn't know whether the commander-in-chief was replaced directly or just the soldiers, but judging from the unfamiliar faces on the opposite side, he had never seen them before, it was likely that the commander-in-chief had been replaced.
Pei Muyuan didn't think of this, but he also knew that the soldiers on the opposite side had been replaced. He understood that if the last attack had really fallen into their side, they would probably be the ones to be replaced now.
So I didn’t feel any sympathy, instead I felt quite relieved.
but……
"Grandfather, the gate to the other world is getting wider and taller. Although it's only growing by a few centimeters every day, sooner or later we will have a large area bordering the other side..."
Pei Muyuan looked at the gate to the other world which had expanded a little compared to the previous few days, and worry appeared in his eyes.
The technological gap between them and the other side is really too big. Although they have the drones of the other side, compared with the military ones, the drones they use look lighter, but there is still a generation gap.
The scientists sent by the businessmen before have been studying the issue of drones intensively, but they are not specialized in these after all, so there are still problems now.
Pei Muyuan racked her brains thinking about how they should prepare for the current situation in advance, without noticing that she was very different from herself a year ago.
Two years ago, Princess Funing would never have tried to understand and solve the military problems.
She only thought about looking for the wives of officials she knew and her friends to donate a batch of food to send to the front line. This was all they could do.
But now Pei Muyuan is already thinking about military tactical issues and how to provide the soldiers on the battlefield with the weapons they need.
Marshal Bai also noticed Pei Muyuan's transformation, and his eyes were filled with satisfaction.
"Grandfather has discussed this issue with your mother before. Your mother directly provided us with a batch of communication paper cranes. As long as we put some magic charms inside, the paper cranes will automatically find those drones, and then detonate the magic charms, and those drones will be destroyed."
Marshal Bai smiled as he spoke about the solution that was discussed.
Pei Muyuan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that there was a solution. Then he diverted his attention and got on the carriage to the palace with Marshal Bai.
After she finished her work of visiting the front line, in addition to accepting interviews from newspapers, she also had to return to the palace to report on her work to Yuanbao.
This was also obtained from the people of Country A who came here to seek gold.
They obviously did not realize what all the overwhelming reports meant, but although there were fools among the people they dealt with, most of them were experienced officials.
They immediately realized how these newspapers and propaganda activities would smooth their official careers.
Some of these officials even wanted to conceal the truth from their superiors and use these methods for their own benefit. Unfortunately, this is not Country A. Do they really think that the guards that Marshal Bai gave to His Majesty will die?
So their little emperor in the palace eventually found out about these things, and thus the official newspaper Fengchao Daily was born.
After the institute developed local newspaper production equipment, official newspapers of local governments sprang up like mushrooms after a rain. There were even rich kids who somehow bought a newspaper printing machine, registered with the government, and opened their own private newspaper company.
There was even a quarrel in the court over this. The ministers felt that these newspapers would enlighten the people, but enlightening the people was a double-edged sword for the court. Although it would make it easier to implement government decrees, it might also cause the common people to rebel every day.
As a result, the supporters and the opposition quarreled fiercely and almost started a fight in the court.
In the end, it was Yuanbao who had the final say.
"There are two immortals behind me! Do the officials in the court think that these people can turn the palm of the immortals over?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the voices of opposition in the court disappeared, but the ministers later imposed some restrictions on the newspaper industry to prevent any newspaper from spreading rumors.
But Yuanbao was still angry for a while.
"Sister! I have my mother and my master behind me! If I can't keep my people alive even with their help, then why should I be the emperor? I might as well abdicate and let others take over."
Thinking of how Yuanbao came to him angrily to complain that his abilities were not trusted, Pei Muyuan curled the corners of his mouth.
Although Yuanbao became the emperor, he has not changed much from before and his nature is still kind.
Pei Muyuan thought with a very thick filter.
However, when Pei Muyuan arrived at the door of the imperial study, he heard a wailing sound coming from inside the study.
"Ahhhh! I don't want to be the emperor anymore!"
*
Marshal Bai's heart tightened when he heard this, and his expression immediately became nervous. Just as he was about to enter the room, he found that the guards and palace maids around him were all quite calm, and even Pei Muyuan didn't react much.
"Relax, Grandfather. Ever since the Imperial Master said that he and mother would go back to the cultivation world for a while to deal with things, Yuanbao has been complaining like this often."
Pei Muyuan looked at Marshal Bai and said.
My grandfather has been in the military camp preparing for war for some time, so it is normal that he is not well-informed.
"…But you can't just say this out loud in front of everyone."
After a long while, Marshal Bai said helplessly.
This is the throne. Although Emperor Yuanxing was deposed, his princes and princesses were not deposed. They are now active in the court. What if they have other ideas because of these words...
"Grandfather, I know you're worried that Yuanbao will be schemed against by someone with ulterior motives, but Yuanbao has his mother and his master behind him. He has also cultivated his spiritual awareness, and coupled with his face-reading skills - Yuanbao used face-reading skills to directly identify a minister who was corrupt."
As Pei Muyuan spoke, Marshal Bai felt a little relieved, but there was still worry in his eyes.
Are they too dependent on Yue'er and the Imperial Master...
But before Marshal Bai could figure out what he was worried about, as soon as he stepped into the imperial study, he saw his precious grandson burying his face in the memorials in a look of despair.
"I'm only 10 years old! 10 years old! I should be playing now instead of sitting here reviewing meaningless memorials! This is not the way to exploit child labor! In Country A, this is illegal!"
Pei Muchu screamed.
The cat-eyed child, who had grown up a little, looked like he was about to collapse under the pile of memorials, while the experienced Grand Tutor, who had been sitting beside him, drank tea calmly without even raising his eyebrows.
After his majesty finished screaming, the tutor put down the teacup and said slowly: "Your Majesty, although the children of country A do not need to work, they still need to study."
"Or would you rather put down the memorial and read through the complete set of formations you should learn first?"
The Grand Tutor leisurely took out the book on the basics of formations that the Queen Mother had given him earlier. However, as soon as he took out the book, he turned around and saw that the child who was howling just now had sat back at the table, reviewing memorials carefully and solemnly.
——If the memorial had not been held upside down, this pretentious display could have fooled quite a few people.
But the Grand Tutor did not expose it, after all, he had already seen the Princess and Marshal Bai come in.
"Sister! Grandfather!"
As expected, after seeing the eldest princess and Marshal Bai Lao, His Majesty immediately threw the memorial aside and walked out from behind the desk with a look of surprise on his face.
The Grand Tutor was not angry, but quietly put the formation book back into his sleeve. Anyway, the emperor never delayed the serious memorials, and the remaining memorials were just old stuff.
——The look just now was just to make Your Majesty more cautious, so as to prevent him from being too relaxed and not wanting to approve even serious memorials.
After putting away the books, the tutor immediately stood up and took his leave. The eldest princess' whereabouts today were not hidden from anyone, and everyone knew that she had gone to the front line to comfort the soldiers.
But the intelligence from the front line was not something he could inquire about.
As expected, after the Grand Tutor left, Pei Muyuan and Marshal Bai, who were originally just exchanging pleasantries, directly told Pei Muchu about the situation at the front line.
"…So we can still handle it now, but we have to be careful of the enemy's biological weapons, right? That's easy. Master gave me a lot of spiritual weapons. If you need any equipment, just tell the research institute. I will give you the privilege to let them directly contact the factory to make it for the front line."
"We can't save this little money. If we don't use it to build equipment, should we keep it to pay compensation to the enemy?"
Pei Muchu talked on and on.
Marshal Bai was quite surprised. Pei Muchu's words touched his heart deeply.
Yes, if the military expenditure is not paid on time, can it be kept as compensation?
Marshal Bai only complained a few words when threatened with detaining their relatives, family members and even ancestral graves. He knew in his heart that he had to leave some handle for the emperor, otherwise who knows whether the army outside would betray the emperor as the emperor is far away.
But the deduction of military expenses, military rations and even baggage was difficult for Marshal Bai to understand. Aren't they fighting for His Majesty? Was the emperor sent by the enemy to consume their own power?
Fortunately, his grandson never withheld military pay, and his daughter patrolled everywhere, so he was not afraid of the army outside rebelling.
pity……
Thinking of this, Marshal Bai's face showed some sadness of parting.
Unfortunately, his daughter will soon return to the world of cultivation for a while. He is not worried about the military outside, but because they have few trusted people in the court, they have been apart for a long time. Now his daughter will return to the world of cultivation for another month...
"...National Master is doing this for your own good, Yuanbao, practice well."
So when Marshal Bai was looking gloomy, Pei Muyuan was looking at his depressed brother with a gloomy face.
"But I really don't want to practice when Master is not around. I read faces every day, and those people are not as good-looking as me."
Pei Muchu said with a wrinkled face.
"...Not holding a ceremony?" Pei Muyuan said with a frown. She remembered that her mother had told her that her Taoist merits and beliefs were very important.
"They plan to leave today, but they don't plan to hold any ceremony. They say it would be a waste of time and money and could damage their merits and virtues, so they won't notify anyone."
Pei Muyuan was also a little sad. Although he said goodbye to his mother yesterday, he was still sad that she left like that.
But Pei Muyuan still cheered up. She still had a lot of time to spend with A Niang, and the world of cultivation was A Niang's base camp.
"By the way, my mother disappeared in the military camp just now. How did the Imperial Master find her?"
Pei Muyuan asked curiously.
The cat-eyed kid said absentmindedly, "I asked Master to go to the experimental field directly. Isn't my mother doing research on increasing grain production and accumulating merit there recently?"
Pei Muyuan nodded halfway, then raised his head stiffly and looked at Pei Muchu.
"...Yuanbao, my mother is studying increasing grain production in the experimental field."
Pei Muyuan slowly revealed a smile that was uglier than crying.
"But my mother's recent research direction is——"
“It’s fertilizer!”
At the same time, in the distant test field, the white-haired imperial teacher in a purple robe with a gold-threaded edge was standing elegantly...
Next to the fertilizer pit.
Lin Caoer rushed over: Groundhog screams.jpg
*
"Leaving today?"
"Not today. It's the last bit of finishing work today. Let's just leave tomorrow morning."
Listening to the conversation between the Imperial Master and the Queen Mother, although Lin Cao'er stood aside seemingly waiting obediently, she had actually been gone for a while.
She really didn't expect that she was just doing a fertilizer experiment. The Queen Mother had been interested in food production before, so it was not surprising that she came to help now, not to mention that people who practice Taoism can do whatever they want.
At first they would see the empress dowager walking on the ground with her trouser legs rolled up, screaming and thinking that her entire clan was going to be executed, but later they got used to it.
But now Lin Cao'er felt that she was too naive. She was used to the Queen Mother going to the fields before, probably because the Queen Mother did not wear luxurious clothes and looked like an ordinary cultivator.
——But the national teacher is different.
Regardless of whether the clothes he was wearing were a magic weapon or whether there was any formation engraved on it, just the gold edge on the clothes would make Lin Cao'er feel that she had committed a heinous crime if it got even a little dirty.
However, the Imperial Master seemed to not notice their expressions and continued to stand there openly...
Wait a moment.
Lin Cao'er's gaze slowly fell on the black veil covering the Imperial Master's eyes.
It seems that the national teacher...really can’t see.
Lin Cao'er was daydreaming with her inner thoughts in the background when she suddenly felt a hand touching her head.
An ethereal voice sounded.
"This girl is extraordinary. You are really lucky to come to the mortal world this time."
Before Lin Cao'er could come to her senses, she heard the words of the Imperial Master. She suddenly felt as if cold water was poured over her from head to toe, and she immediately broke out in a cold sweat all over her body.
Yes, the national teacher is from the cultivation world, so it is normal for him to see something...
Lin Cao'er closed her eyes and waited for the verdict of fate, and then she heard a voice coming into her ears.
"...Don't be nervous, you are already a person of this world."
When Lin Cao'er heard this, she immediately opened her eyes, only to see that the figure had already left her.
Lin Cao'er was left standing there slowly digesting what had just been said. She looked around and saw that everyone was looking at her with envy. Even the aunt who was working with them took off the child on her back, apparently wanting to come over and share in the blessing.
Lin Cao'er let the children enjoy the blessing, but she was still thinking about what the Imperial Master had just said.
"Did that person just now send a secret message? He said I am from this world, so... I can't go back?"
"But... do I really want to go back and become an orphan again, and be exploited by my mentor?"
"National Master...why are you telling me this?"
Lin Cao'er stood there, confused like a child.
Gu Youxing, who had bad intentions just now and scared the heroine to harvest her emotional value, was looking at his own emotional value of more than one billion and talking to 777 with a smile.
[So it’s better to scare the male and female protagonists, the emotional value comes quickly. 】
777 was speechless and said: [Host, you are just being mean. There are obviously no missions in the ancient world, and the ancient world is basically stable and waiting to develop, and you are still trying to scare others. ]
Gu Youxing walked to the chair with Han Jue's shell and sat down. It was obviously just an ordinary mahogany chair, but Han Jue made it feel like a jade throne.
[No, the ancient world has not stabilized at all. In fact, now is the most dangerous time. ]
Gu Youxing said casually, picking up the tea that had just been served.
【？ ？ ？ 】777 directly typed a string of question marks.
Gu Youxing didn't keep anyone in suspense and spoke directly.
[I went back to the cultivation world this time because the people in the cultivation world could no longer bear it. The ancient world was developing too fast. Although it was not enough to make the people in the cultivation world feel a sense of crisis, it was urgent to suppress the cultivation in the ancient world. Moreover, the ancient world had already opened up a channel to another world.]
A cold light flashed in Gu Youxing's eyes.
[On the other side, there are billions of mortals. ]
777 suddenly realized: [No wonder the cultivation world was so quick to throw their skills to the mortal world some time ago, it was just to come to the ancient world, right? ]
Gu Youxing nodded: [There is more to it than that. If that’s all, those people can just come here on their own. The main reason is that the cultivation world and even the Huanhai Sect are now quite critical of Bai Fenglin.]
[The reason why Bai Fenglin of Huanhai Sect came here is that he actually wanted to occupy the entire Feng Dynasty. However, since there were so many sects watching at the beginning, Bai Fenglin would not go too far. But who would have thought that everyone would be deadlocked for more than a year over the issue of cultivation techniques.]
Gu Youxing put down his teacup: [During this year or so, Huanhai Sect also saw an opportunity and wanted Bai Fenglin to occupy the entire Feng Dynasty, but Bai Fenglin did not do so.]
[No, it shouldn't be said that she didn't do it, but that Bai Fenglin was just slacking off.]
777 immediately asked several more questions.
[Assigning a young lady like Bai Fenglin to do such dirty and tiring work as expanding the territory for Huanhai Sect would very likely delay her cultivation. If she didn't do it, the sect couldn't do anything to her - her parents were the elders of the sect, and her child was the emperor of Feng Dynasty - but if she did it, there would always be people who could find fault with her.]
Gu Youxing touched his chin and explained: [And who would benefit from her doing this? In the ancient world, cultivation resources were scarce, and the sect leader’s direct lineage must be in the cultivation world, so the beneficiaries must be the other branches of the Huanhai Sect who are not good at cultivation. ]
[They will occupy the resources of the mortal world and abuse their power, but Bai Fenglin's son is the emperor of Feng Dynasty, and she is crazy to steal her own son's girlfriend. And as long as Pei Muchu is on the throne, no matter what resources there are, Bai Fenglin and the head of the sect will definitely be indispensable. ]
777's eyes sparkled after hearing this, and after finally understanding what was going on, he asked, "So Bai Fenglin went back to explain this time?"
[No, she went back to beat someone up.]
Gu Youxing said succinctly: [The invasion of the mortal world by the cultivation world infringes upon the interests of her and her son, and in this case, the solution of the cultivation world is simple and crude.]
[Whoever has the bigger fist will be obeyed. 】
[…Fortunately, host, you have used a drone to hang the nasal spray that promotes the growth of spiritual power next to Bai Fenglin. The people will give her some spray to thank her for the increase in grain production.]
777 was thankful that his host had made preparations in advance.
Now Bai Fenglin firmly believes in the path of merit and virtue, and is determined to stick to it until the end.
[But it is not safe. Bai Fenglin can only keep the mortal world for one or two years at most. This is also the limit of what other sects in the cultivation world can tolerate of Huanhai Sect.]
Gu Youxing opened his personal panel and squinted his eyes as he looked at the countdown on his vest which was almost reaching zero.
I hope the world where this vest exists can come in handy.
*
In the fairyland, inside the Jade Palace.
A luxurious big bed was placed in the bedroom.
The bed frame is carved from rare wood, and the headboard is carved with exquisite flower and bird patterns, which are lifelike and seem as if they will flap their wings and fly at any time.
And now, on this big bed that ranks among the best in the entire fairy world, a handsome and well-behaved young man is half lying, his eyes are staring at the void and he looks quite serious.
Gu Youxing looked at the original text with complicated emotions in his heart.
Good news: the ancient world is saved.
Bad news: The heroine of this world.
——is Pei Muchu’s real mother!
