Chapter 164 Collect the mount, the angry little female dragon!
Gongshu Mansion is extremely lively tonight.

Originally, the story of the "Fairy City" was only spread through various channels, but there has never been a definitive conclusion.

But just a short while ago, the imperial edict was posted.

Not only did it confirm the rumor, it also marked the locations of the four immortal cities.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if Daqian is compared to a physical body, then building these four cities is like opening up the meridians in key areas, allowing the originally barren and difficult-to-control region to be firmly under the hands of the court.

Achievements in the contemporary era, benefits in the future.

This is a great opportunity for craftsmen all over the world to make a name for themselves.

It is worthy for many craftsmen of ordinary background to open a separate page in their family tree.

Not even a family tree is needed.

The place in the Temple of Virtuous and Good alone is enough to bring honor to the family.

Therefore, all the craftsmen who were notable in Gongshu's family were ready to try.

Only the lord Shu Songting was not in high spirits.

At this moment, he was standing in front of a puppet.

He drank the wine while frowning.

He was still muttering, "This shouldn't be possible! How can a puppet be so sophisticated?"

He still remembers it now.

The scene where I was shocked by the puppet a year ago.

From that moment on, he understood that he might never be able to reach that person's level in the art of puppet refining.

However, it is not impossible to adjust one's mentality. After all, puppets are just a minor part of weapon refining, and infusing spirits is extremely energy-consuming. Anyway, he tends to believe that Taoist Kongxu is just showing off his skills for a while and they are not very practical.

It was not until he saw the puppets being mass-produced and perfectly commanded by Qin Muye alone that his Taoism completely collapsed.

He knew very well that these puppets all had their own "intelligence".

What if this "intelligence" was used on military and agricultural machinery?
Gongshu Songting knew that this alone was enough to elevate the art of refining to a higher level, and the four words "insignificant and minor" were definitely not enough to comfort him.

So he has been studying these for more than a year.

But... nothing was accomplished.

Am I that bad?

"master!"

The housekeeper came over and said, "Why don't you take a rest? The craftsmen in the clan are waiting for you. They don't know whether to go to the East Palace or the Princess's Mansion."

Gongshu Songting waved his hand impatiently: "Tell them to go wherever they want, as long as they don't get too close together and keep the ratio roughly 50-50."

The housekeeper was a little embarrassed: "They all regard you as their spiritual leader, so you really won't encourage them?"

"Spiritual leader?"

Gongshu Songting pointed at his nose and laughed at himself: "Me? Am I worthy of it?"

The butler fell silent when he saw his messy beard.

It's been so long, and I still haven't recovered!

At this time.

A young voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Master Gongshu, there is no need to underestimate yourself. The art of puppetry is nothing more than a trivial matter..."

"Fuck your mother's fart!"

Gongshu Songting responded immediately: "What insignificant trick? Do you think I am blind or I cannot afford to lose? If I can't win, then I can't win. Are you trying to comfort your mother? Where did you come from, you bastard? I will beat your dog face to pieces... Hey? Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

Li Zhixuan: "..."

The scene was very embarrassing.

After a while.

Gongshu Songting coughed and said, "Your Highness, I thought it was some young man from the clan. I apologize for any offense."

Li Zhixuan smiled: "It's okay! I don't know how to refine weapons, and I did speak too much just now. I didn't expect that the head of the Gongshu family would be so noble and upright, and have such a broad mind. I really admire him!"

Gongshu Songting did not expect that the prince would be so magnanimous.

I am not good at talking, and I can't resolve the awkwardness properly.

In the end, no one cared at all. It seemed that the prince's mind was even broader than imagined.

He smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "Your Highness is visiting my humble home. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please come in quickly! Uncle Fu, please take out my treasured Da Hong Pao!"

talking.

He warmly invited Li Zhixuan to the main hall.

Make your own tea, taste it, and praise each other.

The atmosphere quickly became harmonious.

Gongshu Songting then got back to the point: "I wonder why Your Highness has come here?"

Li Zhixuan smiled slightly and said, "I have always admired you, so I won't beat around the bush with you. I would like to ask you to lend me a hand in supervising the construction of the Immortal City this time."

Gongshu Songting immediately showed a difficult expression: "Your Highness! You should have heard that the Gongshu family does not strictly restrict their members. It is not easy for me to interfere with which city they choose!"

Although he is not very proficient in the ways of the world.

However, he also remembered his ancestors' teachings firmly. The foundation of Gongshujia's career was craftsmanship. As long as he worked hard to refine weapons, he would definitely be useful to the court.

As long as it is useful, it will never fail.

Taking sides will certainly bring hope of gaining great wealth and honor, but it will also put the family in danger.

Being enthusiastic towards the prince is just a matter of face.

Even if the princess came, he would be just as enthusiastic.

But there is no question of taking sides.

"Hahaha, sir, you misunderstood!"

Li Zhixuan smiled and said, "Gongshujia has never been involved in the affairs of the court. I am not here to influence the direction of the young people of Gongshujia. I want to invite you, sir!"

Gongshu Songting was stunned for a moment: "Me?"

Li Zhixuan nodded: "Sir, you should also know that if the four immortal cities are built, it will be like opening up the meridians of Daqian. The location selection is also quite demanding, especially the one in Lingnan, which is almost equivalent to conjuring a city in the wilderness and mountains. The requirements for the city construction layout are extremely high, so I..."

Gongshu Songting said quickly: "Don't worry, Your Highness! There are many craftsmen in the Gongshu family who are good at city construction. They will definitely not all run to the Princess's Mansion. Don't worry!"

Li Zhixuan shook his head: "I only want you, sir!"

Gongshu Songting was a little embarrassed. If only the people below him went, there would be no problem at all.

Even if his level is not as good as mine, it won’t be too far behind.

But if I, as the head of the family, go, it would be like taking sides.

Seeing Gongshu Songting hesitate.

Li Zhixuan suddenly asked, "I heard that the Emperor's Mansion has decided to let Taoist Kongxu be the chief craftsman. Sir, don't you want to compete with him?"

Gongshu Songting: "!!!"

He shuddered.

The whole person woke up.

He wanted to find his confidence in another direction, but at this critical moment...

Li Zhixuan added fuel to the fire: "In fact, when I said that puppetry is a minor art, it was not nonsense. Taoist Kongxu's talent is enough to make all the craftsmen in the world envious, but he only wastes his talent on puppetry. Don't you feel sorry for it, sir?
Now that Taoist Master Kongxu is being highly praised by the Princess's Mansion, he has long lost track of who he is.

Don't you want to use a hearty victory to make him return to the right path?"

silence.

silence.

Still silent.

at last.

Gongshu Songting nodded solemnly: "Your Highness is right, Taoist Kongxu has indeed gone astray. As a fellow craftsman, I should indeed remind him... in a craftsman's way!"

Li Zhixuan stood up with a smile: "Sir, your generosity really makes me admire you! In that case, I will send a carriage to pick you up tomorrow."

Gongshu Songting nodded solemnly: "Thank you! Your Highness, I will see you off!"

Send Li Zhixuan away.

Gongshu Songting stood in front of the mirror and looked at his unkempt image for a long time.

Finally, take a deep breath.

He picked up the scissors and started trimming his hair.

outside the house.

The East Palace's carriage slowly drove away.

The corners of Li Zhixuan's mouth rose wildly. I could choose any evil official or clerk I wanted, and even the master craftsmen fell into my grasp.

And you.

Li Xingluo.

You are just a sour Taoist priest who plays with puppets. What right do you have to fight me?

……

Kyoto is particularly restless tonight.

After curfew, big birds flew across the night sky one after another.

It didn't stop until dawn the next day.

When Qin Muye arrived at the Honglu Temple, he felt the air was filled with the smell of bird droppings.

These were falcons raised by the government to deliver official correspondence.

Yesterday's imperial edict has spread to a fairly large area, and many evil officials in the surrounding areas should have signed up. This situation is expected to continue for several days.

The intention information of the evil officials and clerks will be summarized by the Honglu Temple and finally sent to the Great Sage Temple for distribution.

To put it nicely, this is the power granted to the Great Sage Temple by the imperial court.

To put it bluntly, with the Great Sage Temple here, the imperial court's control over the demon officials is much worse than that over human officials.

Qin Muye naturally wanted to run up to them and give them some orders, but those evil officials obviously didn't pay much attention to him.

Even though he is now the head of the Honglu Temple.

Being able to give them a perfunctory response is already a gift from them.

However, he did not intend to favor those evil officials. It was true that Ao Jin would definitely operate behind the scenes, but no matter how behind the scenes he operated, it was impossible for him to cram all the evil officials into Li Zhixuan's two cities.

This behavior is no different from provoking Lao Deng, and is simply a suicidal act.

Therefore, no matter how bad our side is, there will at least be a group of demon officials available, and that is enough.

Entered the office.

He closed the door.

Lying on the recliner next to the desk, he counted leisurely.

"one!"

"two!"……

"Sixty-nine!"

"Squeak!"

The door opened.

Qin Muye stopped counting, turned his head and smiled: "Ao Shaoqing came quite early?"

Ao Jin frowned slightly and looked around: "The princess is not here, right?"

Tsk!
It left her with a psychological trauma!
Qin Muye sat up and said with a joking smile, "Don't worry! Many craftsmen have come to the Emperor's Mansion today, so she should be busy. You can do what you couldn't do to me in front of her now."

Ao Jin did not respond immediately, but brought a chair and sat not far from Qin Muye.

She crossed her legs, held her chin in her hand, and looked at him quietly.

The temperament is still invaluable.

The look he gave Qin Muye was filled with one part scrutiny, two parts appreciation, and three parts ridicule.

Tsk!
Qin Muye felt a little unhappy.

This look is as if someone were to strip herself naked, tie herself up tightly with ropes, and then step on herself wantonly with high heels.

Young ladies who claim to be noble seem to like looking at others in this way.

Qin Muye also leaned sideways to look at her, his eyes wantonly sweeping across the sexy and wild curves under her official robe.

Ao Jin: “???”

She felt that he was doing to her with his eyes what he had done to Li Xingluo last night.

This is a bit awkward to say.

To put it simply, he was blaspheming himself with his eyes!
She couldn't help but sneer: "Master Qin is really careless. Even at this critical moment, he can still act relaxed."

Qin Muye sneered: "Shouldn't you be relaxed? You are so tightly dressed in front of me, I really can't get excited."

Ao Jin's pretty face was slightly cold: "Sir Qin, is there nothing else in your mind except those shameful things?"

Qin Muye lay back on the recliner and said lazily, "There is only one big world in my heart, but most of it has nothing to do with you. These are all I can tell you."

"Ah……"

Ao Jin knew that arguing with him would not yield any results, so he could only force himself to get to the point: "The Great Sage Order is in my hands. If I want, I can put the weakest demon official under your command. In this case, what right do you have to compete with Li Zhixuan?

You also know in your heart what this supervision of the construction of the immortal city means.

If Li Xingluo loses, you will have nothing!"

Qin Muye rocked leisurely in the rocking chair: "So? You want to use this to blackmail me into giving you the Ten Thousand Demons Golden Pill?"

Ao Jin sneered: "Oh? Still not enough?"

"Not enough!"

Qin Muye said calmly: "Why don't you show all your cards? You can't threaten me with just this one."

Ao Jin looked at him quietly, and suddenly chuckled: "The way you force yourself to smile is really funny."

Qin Muye choked: "I'll wait for you to stop me from laughing."

Ao Jin frowned.

I didn't expect this person to be so difficult.

Even though he had nothing in his hands at the beginning, he was able to frighten the temple priests and Li Zhixuan so much that they dared not even breathe.

But now, not only did he hold a secret that could bring ruin to his fiancée, he also held bargaining chips that could influence the battle for the throne, and yet he could still be so nonchalant.

Could it be... that he is really not afraid?
It seems that we can only increase the stakes.

Ao Jin raised his chin slightly: "Why don't you guess how I made the emperor change his mind."

Hear the question.

Qin Muye finally laughed out loud, and finally took the bait.

He sat up, looked at her with a half-smile and said, "You don't mean to say that it was you who persuaded my father to persuade the emperor, right?"

what?
Ao Jin's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Qin Muye continued to ask: "Pu Minglong told you, right?"

"..."

"Did he tell you why my father insisted on helping Li Zhixuan even though the emperor had compromised?"

"..."

"Pu Minglong didn't even tell you this, how did you get the courage to cooperate with him?"

"..."

The series of questions never stop.

Ao Jin never expected that he would once again take advantage of Qin Muye's power and be hit by four consecutive attacks.

She secretly thought that it was not good and decided to quickly end this wave of relentless pursuit: "I didn't expect you to have some points..."

Qin Muye didn't intend to give her any chance: "Little female dragon, I didn't expect you to be so guilty?"

Ao Jin's expression tightened: "Who are you saying is guilty?"

"Of course it's you!"

Qin Muye laughed and mocked: "You have something that can threaten me. If you only stand on the side of the demon clan, why do you need to act like a fox and a tiger? It takes a lot of thought to make up such a lie. Besides deceiving me, who else did you deceive?

Let me think about it?

The Great Sage Temple? Or the Demon King behind the Great Sage Temple?

Is the Great Saint Order in your hand from the right path?

You are a member of the dragon clan, and your incarnation has such a high level of cultivation, yet you have to use deceptive means to deal with them, and even have to seek help from Pu Minglong. Don't you feel pathetic?
Let me guess, what exactly do you want to do that you don't want them to do?
Oh, the golden elixir of all demons!

Then let me ask you, where is your Dragon Pill?"

A series of questions.

Ao Jin was a little confused by the question.

She never thought that Qin Muye could come up with so many things.

of course.

This does not mean that Qin Muye is smarter than himself.

It only means that Qin Muye knows more information than himself.

But in gaming, it's never about who's smarter.

She knew that she was in a passive position.

It has to be turned around.

She smiled coldly: "Even if what you said is true, so what? I hold your lives in my hands..."

Qin Muye sneered: "What about the Ten Thousand Demons Golden Pill? If I reveal the existence of my Ten Thousand Demons Golden Pill, do you think the Demon King will imprison you for life?"

Ao Jin: “???”

Qin Muye looked at her jokingly: "The secret in your hand affects my fiancée's succession to the throne. The secret in my hand affects whether you can regain the dignity of the dragon clan. Let's call it a draw! Now, have you learned to talk to me calmly?"

Ao Jin: “…”

Her breathing began to become a little disordered, but she became more and more angry in her heart: "Do you really think that my secret will only affect the throne? Do you think that the new emperor will let you go after he ascends the throne?"

good good!
You still can't speak properly, right?

Qin Muye sneered: "What about you? Where's your dragon pill?"

"you……"

"Let me ask you! Where is your dragon pill?"

Qin Muye did not hide the contempt in his eyes at all, and his tone became more and more excited: "A dragon clan, a demon king, is constrained everywhere, and even the dragon pill does not belong to him!
Clearly no one in the Human Dynasty knows you, yet you are still dressed like a woman!

how?

Is your man afraid that you're cheating on him?

The dignified dragon clan is treated like a toy!
wrong!

You are not even as good as a plaything. At least they don't have to do anything except pleasing their masters.

Not only do you have to enjoy the pleasure of your master, but you also have to run around for him. You even have to hide to ask for a golden elixir that can make all demons elixir!
The dragon pill has clearly left the body!
But it's like a dog leash around your neck, telling you to go east and you dare not go west!
Where is the dignity of your dragon race?
You wanted to ask me to help you untie the dog leash, but you still acted condescendingly.

What on earth are you being noble about?"

With every word he spoke, he took a step forward.

Every time Ao Jin heard a word, he would take a step back.

The anger and humiliation in his eyes accumulated more and more, and he wished he could turn into flames and burn the human youth in front of him to death.

I've lived for so long, and no one has ever dared to humiliate me like this!

Although this is basically the fact, who dares not respect themselves?

Faced with the aggressive Qin Muye, she actually felt like she had no way to resist.

Take another step back.

But I found that I had retreated to the corner.

Qin Muye pressed his hand against the wall and stabbed out the last time: "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I can still refine the Ten Thousand Demons Golden Pill. If you want it, I can give it to you, but... you have to beg me!
Also, I was missing a mount, and I never knew what I wanted.

But now that I know, I want to get a little female dragon!

fast!
Beg me! "

Never appease when threatened.

Compete with its peak.

Not as good as personal attacks.

Only by breaking down your opponent's mentality can you be qualified to negotiate calmly.

really.

Ao Jin's anger finally reached its limit.

His body suddenly burst out with extremely terrifying power.

"Oh!"

She pushed Qin Muye to the ground, pressed her body on him, and grabbed his neck with her right hand.

His eyes were red, his killing intent was not concealed at all, and his voice was trembling because of his rage: "Believe it or not, I really dare to kill you!"

Qin Muye: “…”

Honestly.

The scene is scary.

If she hadn't cried.
