Chapter 70: Dog bites dog?
Do we know each other?
The puppet paused and asked, "Why do you think so?"

Li Xingluo stared at him for a while and smiled softly: "I guessed! I wonder when you are willing to show up?"

Tsk!
That’s a pretty accurate guess.

But you didn't continue asking, which seems to be a bit of a boundary.

The puppet thought for a moment and said solemnly: "With my current status, it is indeed inconvenient for me to show up for the time being, but I am not that eager for high positions and generous salaries. When the princess needs it, I will come forward and do my best to help."

It’s not that he wants to remain mysterious, but his identity is indeed not suitable for showing up in public.

Li Xingluo did come out to support the Qin family yesterday, but after the case was tried, he immediately left Jingzhao Prefecture.

It is obvious that she still keeps a respectful distance from the Qin family.

The reasons behind this should be very complicated, and Qin Muye is not sure anyway.

Although the annotations on the emperor's fate say that he can accommodate things that are difficult to accommodate in ancient and modern times, his capacity ultimately has a limit.

Once this limit is exceeded, I am afraid it will be like destroying all human life.

Moreover, it was also written in the annotations that the Qin family rebelled. No one knew the exact reason, nor did anyone know whether it happened before or after Li Hong's death.

In everything, it is better to be careful.

The puppet lagged behind Li Xingluo by half a body length. The two of them entered the palace one after the other. He then said, "Oh, by the way, Princess Di, about the battle flying boat..."

Li Xingluo smiled: "My father said that this matter is entirely up to you and me. There is a royal palace 300 miles south of the city. A group of craftsmen will sneak in secretly. I hope you will take care of it."

"I will definitely try my best!"

Hey!
Is this a direct promotion to the president of the Academy of Military Science?

Qin Muye became more and more curious. The power that Li Hong delegated to Li Xingluo was already quite terrifying. This industry that was enough to affect national defense had no intention of taking it back at all.

This specification is completely based on the training of the empress.

But Li Xingluo's comment was that it was destiny that suppressed him, his body was gone, and he cut off his own path to becoming an emperor.

When things were going so smoothly for her, why would she cut off her own path to becoming an emperor?

I always feel that the water inside is very deep.

Oh shit!

I feel more and more that this emperor is a bit scary.

Walk to the main hall.

The puppet was suddenly stunned: "Princess Emperor, this is..."

On the long table in front of him, all kinds of top-level refining materials were piled densely.

According to estimates, it may be worth tens of thousands of spirit stones.

Li Xingluo smiled and said, "My father said that the sword is given to heroes. These are all yours, but my father asked me to ask you for a favor on his behalf."

"what?"

"Do your best to create the strongest puppet!"

"no problem!"

The puppet readily agreed. With so much material, it would be no problem to make ten!

Li Xingluo added: "Within half a day!"

"no problem!"

The puppet started working directly.

Li Xingluo looked at him thoughtfully, trying to find a familiar shadow in him.

……

Because immersive puppet manipulation is too energy-consuming.

Qin Muye lay in bed all day.

But he's not boring either.

Because Bai Yuji was also lying on his bed to catch up on some sleep.

Although he promised not to do anything to her when he coaxed her over.

But some people are just so good-looking that even if they just lie there quietly, they can bring people the ultimate visual enjoyment.

Especially her figure...

Qin Muye was very curious. Would eating fried insects as a staple food promote growth?

Under his gaze.

Bai Yuji slowly opened her eyes.

The first thing he did after waking up was to check his clothes. He found that his collar was still neat and tidy, and a refreshing smile immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Qin Muye curled his lips: "Why are you defending me like a wolf? Are you so happy that you succeeded in defending me?"

"Leave me alone?"

Bai Yuji rolled her eyes at him, her pretty, slightly blushing face looking indescribably charming.

She was certainly not on guard against Qin Muye. If she really wanted to, she would definitely lie on her own bed.

And the two of them...it seemed like they had already done a lot of things, so there was no point in being on guard.

The reason she was lying here was that she just wanted to confirm one thing.

Confirm whether Qin Muye is restrained in his lust for her.

Now it seems obvious that there is.

I don’t know why I need to confirm this, and I don’t want to think about what this represents.

She just knows.

This seems to be very important to her.

Bai Yuji sat up and glanced at the window: "It's getting late, should we go to the palace for dinner?"

"Yes!"

Qin Muye nodded: "Everyone is waiting for you. The maid has urged you several times."

Bai Yuji was puzzled: "Why didn't you call me earlier?"

Qin Muye spread his hands and said, "I kept you awake last night, so how could I have the courage to call you? I'll go out first, and you should change your clothes quickly."

"Ok!"

Bai Yuji hummed softly, feeling that the voice sounded a little obedient, and quickly put on a stern face: "You are sensible."

Qin Muye: “…”

After a while.

The two of them walked into the main hall arm in arm.

Qin Yanying was pacing back and forth, obviously getting impatient.

Seeing Bai Yuji coming out, he went up and grabbed her hand: "Niece-in-law, you are finally here, go, go, don't keep His Majesty waiting!"

Qin Mingri also changed into formal clothes, obviously he was going to attend the banquet as well.

Seeing Qin Muye, he lost his previous arrogance and bowed respectfully: "Brother!"

"Ah."

Qin Muye did not embarrass him. He responded calmly and followed him.

……

Qin Mingri has his own carriage.

The other three shared a carriage.

Qin Yanying was bragging to Bai Yuji the whole time about how good her relationship with the emperor was. If you didn't know, you would think they were siblings.

Bai Yuji would also respond, making Qin Yanying more and more excited.

But as she talked, she found that her eldest nephew had not responded at all.

I couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied: "Muye! What are you thinking about? We are going to a banquet today, not to die."

Qin Muye: “…”

Got it!
I became even more anxious after you said that.

After a while, the carriage stopped outside the palace.

Eunuch Hong had been waiting for a long time. He came up to exchange a few words of greeting and then led the four people into the palace. When they were almost at Yongqing Palace, he said, "You four may have to wait a while. His Majesty has some more official business. Please rest in the side hall for a while!"

"it's okay no problem!"

Qin Yanying waved his hands loudly and was about to enter the side hall, but found that the figure in the main hall seemed a little familiar.

She stopped and said, "Old Hong, can we watch the fun?"

Eunuch Hong smiled and said, "We are all family. If you want to see it, go ahead. Follow me and don't disturb others."

As he spoke, he led the three people into the main hall through the small door.

In the main hall.

Li Hong was wearing a thick cotton robe and lying on a recliner holding a heater, looking like a frail middle-aged handsome man.

And below, there was a large group of people kneeling.

Just a glance would reveal that these were the people who spoke up for Hu Huan in Jingzhao Prefecture yesterday.

Li Hong asked gently, "So you defended Hu Huan yesterday only because you heard from your colleagues that Hu Huan was a good demon official and you felt pity for him, so you stood up for him?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty clearly shows you!"

"We almost made a big mistake because we trusted our colleagues wrongly. Please forgive us, Your Majesty."

Everyone's voice is filled with a desire to survive.

After all, they were all captured by Chen Sui. No one in the entire Kyoto who had been caught by this evil god would have a good ending.

But fortunately, they have one more chance.

Because Chen Sui had just thrown them into prison, he was dismissed from his post by the emperor.

And they also got a chance to seek justice from the emperor.

They all held low positions and were not qualified to attend court. Many of them were seeing the emperor for the first time. When they saw Li Hong's gentle and amiable appearance, they seemed to have grasped their last straw and began to frantically prove their innocence.

Li Hong looked serious, as if he was really lost in thought.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't figure out the answer.

Until a little eunuch's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty! Several evil officials from the Honglu Temple want to see you."

"pass!"

Li Hong immediately showed a hint of joy.

There were not many evil officials coming from the Honglu Temple, only Zheng Wang, who had the highest official rank, as well as Niu Pingtian and Qingqiu Mei'er.

When they saw the person kneeling on the ground, their expressions changed.

Why is it so unlucky today?

After discussing for a long time, they chose this time to ask for an audience with the emperor to discuss the matter of totem source qi.

How did he run into these unlucky people? Hu Huan had already suffered, and the nine strands of totem source qi could not be lost again!
Wait for the three demon officials to pay their respects.

Li Hong smiled and asked, "My dear ministers, they said that they defended Hu Huan in the court yesterday because you guaranteed that Hu Huan was a demon. Is that true?"

"fart!"

Niu Pingtian's face suddenly changed, and he quickly realized that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, I didn't say you farted, I said they farted! We are not familiar with Hu Huan, how can we know what kind of monster he is?"

Hear this.

Cui Han was stunned: "No! You..."

Niu Pingtian glared and said, "There were hundreds of eyes watching us yesterday in Jingzhao Prefecture. We have always stood on the side of justice. Why are you framing your mother?"

Cui Han: “???”

Niu Pingtian quickly bowed to Li Hong and said, "Your Majesty! We have been officials in the capital for some years, and you are familiar with our character. How could we do such a dirty thing?
Anyway, I am upright and honest. Even if there are ten thousand people slandering me, no one can produce evidence. "

"you!"

"What do you mean? Can you produce evidence?"

"???"

A verbal agreement can produce nothing but chicken feathers of evidence!

We listened to you and ended up like this, but you still act like you are noble.

Everyone couldn't hold it anymore and started to denounce Niu Pingtian.

Niu Pingtian was a little red after being scolded, but he insisted on one thing, that is, they could not produce any evidence.

For a while, Yongqing Palace was as chaotic as a vegetable market.

Qin Yanying was watching with great interest: "The shows in the palace are really exciting. Dog-eat-dog is really fun, huh?"

Qin Muye: “…”

To be honest, Li Hong was really good at micromanipulation, and he also took the opportunity to sow discord between the evil officials and the aristocratic families.

Although these evil officials have intelligence no less than that of humans, they still care more about direct interests. As long as there are enough benefits in front of them, they don't care about allies or not.

Hu Huan was sold out by them.

What about these minor characters?

of course.

This provocation is not particularly clever.

But the clever thing about Li Hong is that he never gives these people time to consider.

Zheng Wang showed up very late yesterday. When he showed up, there was only one stick of incense time left before the demon officials lined up, leaving them no time to even contact the Great Sage Temple.

It was the same today. Chen Sui went to arrest people in the middle of the night, and threw them into the imperial prison after catching them. He did not give them the opportunity to contact their families. They were mentally exhausted in prison for the whole day, and when they came out, they went straight to confront the evil officials.

This wave of operations may not damage the foundation of their cooperation.

Once a crisis of trust occurs, there is no possibility of recovery.

There was a commotion in the Yongqing Palace. Niu Pingtian became so angry that he even started clamoring for the death penalty for those criminals.

Li Hong was so annoyed by the noise that he could only ask the Jinyiwei to take the criminals away first.

Finally clean.

Niu Pingtian was getting a little impatient and tried to take a few steps forward several times, but was stopped by Zheng Wang every time.

Li Hong rubbed his head and turned to look at Eunuch Hong: "Mr. Hong, is the imperial edict ready?"

"Your Majesty, we are ready!"

"Let's post it as soon as possible. After all, the Nine Strands of Totem Qi and the Ten Thousand Races Imperial Examination will definitely be a fierce battle, so we need to let them prepare well."

"Yes!"

"Go down!"

Li Hong then looked at Niu Pingtian and said, "Niu Qing, you seemed to be hesitant to speak just now, but do you have anything to say?"

Niu Pingtian was both happy and confused. He turned to look at Zheng Wang and asked, "What was I about to say?"

He had a lot more to say just now.

As it turned out, the emperor had already drafted an imperial edict with nine strands of totem source qi.

This emperor is quite easy to talk to!
Fortunately, Zheng Wang was smart and organized everyone to sell out that stupid bug Hu Huan, which showed that the evil official group was law-abiding, otherwise it would not have been so smooth.

On the other hand, the Great Sage Temple actually scolded Zheng Wang. If the brothers hadn't stopped them, they would have even wanted to expel Zheng Wang from the Great Sage Temple. This is simply unreasonable.

But the emperor has already said everything, what can I say?
He opened his mouth and was about to say something.

Qin Yanying came to his senses and immediately stood up angrily: "Your Majesty! Your decision is ridiculous, I don't agree!"

Qin Mingri also stepped forward angrily: "I don't agree either!"

Qin Muye: “???”

Wait a minute! ?

Just now, Eunuch Hong allowed a few people to listen in, and he thought that Li Hong just wanted Qin Yanying to vent his anger by watching a dog-eat-dog fight.

But why does it feel like the Qin family is also a member of the “dog-bite-dog-bite-dog” situation now?

What on earth does this emperor want to do?
