Chapter 73 The wind is coming
The invisible wind blew through the trees, leaving behind a sound. It continued to move forward, wandering through many corners that no one cared about.
"Your Majesty, judging from the results during this period, everything is as we expected. The new policy implemented by the Beijing Kingdom has begun to take shape. After our operation, the person they are most grateful to now is not the Emperor Beijing, but your Majesty. Will the next plan be implemented as usual?"
"If we want to fight without bloodshed, this is not enough." She looked at him nonchalantly, "I want Beijing to fall into financial trouble."
"But do you need the Goddess' help?"
"Don't alarm Ziyou about anything."
"Your Majesty, rest assured. We have not let the fairy servants around the goddess know anything about what happened. The family letters received and the people met by Emperor Bei Jing and his personal guards were all handled by us. They will not know any real news."
The emperor on the chair finally smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, General Si. Find some personal soldiers to go with me to Chen Palace to get some things."
Si Rang's expression was a little disturbed. "Without the goddess's permission, can I and others enter Chen Palace?"
Nan Wanxing did not answer her.
Ziyou said that Chen Palace was also her own home, and...
Her hand touched the jade token through her clothes. Her jade token was different from theirs, and she was confident that she could bring them in.
After all, it's your own home, what's wrong with bringing someone in?
After waiting for a long while without a reply, Si Rang realized that he had said too much. "Your Majesty, I will bring my trusted aide here right away."
He withdrew respectfully.
Just before he disappeared, he heard His Majesty say, "Wear something thicker before you come back."
Although he had doubts, he said without hesitation: "Yes."
Nan Wanxing looked into the distance and knew that sooner or later, everything under the starry sky would belong to her.
Si Rang selected a number of Husky guards and walked back.
"His Majesty."
Everyone was wearing warm clothes, and a lot of sweat appeared on their heads during the journey.
Nan Wanxing didn't want her soldiers to suffer from heatstroke, so she took out the jade token, and in an instant, they disappeared from the spot.
The change of scene did not cause a significant change in their expressions. After a long period of training, they are now very different from before.
They might have been surprised before, but now they are!
Still surprised...just better hidden.
They followed His Majesty all the way to the laboratory.
Some people on the road were secretly playing with the snowflakes falling from the sky, and Nan Wanxing tacitly agreed to their playful intentions.
"Take out the tamping machine inside."
They rolled up their arms and walked forward... and then stood still in silence.
"What a huge cylinder!" exclaimed a soldier.
Si Rang skillfully hit the other person on the head, and that person's head suddenly felt buzzing.
"It is more perfect than the road-building tools we usually see. You build a military passage along the route that we must pass through to reach Beijing Country." Nan Wanxing said calmly.
"Won't they block such a large-scale passage to Beijing Country?"
Nan Wanxing glanced at Si Rang and said, "General, you have studied military books and may not know much about this matter. This project will not be completed in a few years."
"And I don't intend to mobilize a large army. I will just build it slowly in the name of the people." Nan Wanxing held a piece of paper in his hand. "We are building roads in our own country, how dare other countries interfere?"
Si Rang was a little puzzled, "Why is such a project starting now?"
"Emperor Bei Jing is still alive, so it's easier to trick him." She narrowed her eyes slightly, "If we go to war, even if it's not finished, the incomplete version can save us a lot of time."
She wasn't going to pay for it herself. What could be happier than letting Bei Jing pay for her trouble?
Such a costly act would certainly have to take the blame on Emperor Bei Jing.
She handed the paper to Si Rang, "This is brand new road construction material. Ask the Ministry of Construction to cooperate with you. If anyone dares to cut corners, just kill them without asking for permission."
"Yes."
Nan Wanxing looked back and did not see any trace of Bei Chenxi. It seemed that she could only tell her next time.
She used the jade token to take them back to the palace.
It was a spectacular sight to see the soldiers using their hands to feel the evenly distributed shapes on the cylinder.
"It's great for attacking city gates." A soldier grinned foolishly.
With a "pop", the familiar buzzing sound of the head came again.
"How many people can lift something this heavy? Before it even got close, it was shot like a hedgehog." Si Rang said angrily, "Don't talk when you are out there! You'll be exposed if you talk. You look pretty decent if you don't talk."
"Si Rang, go to Beijing to purchase the lime that is required on the list. Prevent those merchants from noticing the business opportunity and raising the price." Her voice was cold. "Send more people and do it at the same time. Don't give them a chance."
"Beijing? What about our South Vietnam?" He glanced at the list.
Nan Wanxing glanced over and said, "Good things should of course be reserved for one's own people."
He lowered his head: "Yes."
After Nan Wanxing gave them instructions, he walked back to his bedroom.
Passing by the strange lights, she stopped.
Among the many lanterns, she chose one with a cat pattern and poked the cat's face with her hand.
The lantern didn't react at all, but Nan Wanxing was very happy.
She poked it a few more times, and as if that was not enough, she went into the house, picked up the brush, placed the lantern on the table, and began to draw something on it seriously.
After a while, she put down her pen and smiled with satisfaction.
She pulled out some other drawings she had taken from her bosom and placed them on the table.
Beichen Xi is indeed a talent who specializes in experiments. He can actually think of such a method. In this way, productivity can be greatly improved.
Her gaze fell back to the lantern on the table, and when she saw the lantern, her eyes became very gentle.
Her hand had been resting on the lantern, and suddenly her eyes turned with ill intent, she picked up the lantern and went to the Forbidden Star Hall.
When she walked to the palace gate of the Forbidden Star Palace, there was a lantern with a fox pattern nailed on it.
"Spoils of war." After she read the words on the small sign, the excitement on her face disappeared.
She lowered her eyes to look at the lantern in her hand, shook it twice, and then walked towards the inner hall as if nothing had happened.
Xue Qingbai saw the empress coming from afar, and when she approached, she said, "Your Majesty, the goddess has gone on a journey, and left a message for people not to disturb her."
Nan Wanxing's heartbeat quickened for a moment. Every time she disappeared, the time would get longer. This time...
"Did Ziyou say when he would wake up?"
"The goddess seems unable to control when she wakes up, so she told me to use the jade token to wake her up in ten days."
Nan Wanxing stared at the door with her lips tightly closed. She was silent for a long time before she turned around and left with her cat lantern.
She walked alone on the small path of the palace, looked at the lantern in her hand with some loneliness, then held it against her chest and walked slowly back to her bedroom.
Today she went to bed earlier than ever before, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. She brought the lantern on the table to the bed and prepared to fall asleep again. However, she seemed a little unsatisfied. She held the lantern in her arms and closed her eyes in satisfaction.
