Chapter 269: Secret Edict

ce, "Lead the way."Qin Luoyan's mouth twitched when she saw this scene. Talking to a hawk like it was a human That's crazy!Who knew, that eagle flapped its wings once and truly obediently flew in fron...Especially this handsome man was clearly wearing a fine brocade robe, the fabric of which was more luxurious than they had ever seen in their lives. However, there were some black soot stains on his face, and a large section of the robe's hem was burned. Despite this, he seemed oblivious, staring straight ahead as if he didn't feel the strange gazes around him.

The blacksmiths, preoccupied with washing their faces, had forgotten to change the water. They simply held up their towels and wiped their faces repeatedly until a petite woman emerged from the kitchen. They recognized this woman; she was supposedly the concubine of Prince Wu Xuan. She could be seen hurrying after the handsome man, taking three steps as two, with a smile on her face, she reached out to take his arm.

This move immediately scared several blacksmiths so much that they spilled the hot water in front of them. Fear flashed in their eyes. Could it be that this side concubine dared to openly betray her husband No, no, this was impossible! Could it be that the handsome man was the legendary Prince Wu Xuan Legend had it that Prince Wu Xuan did indeed have a face more alluring than a woman's.

The facts were right in front of them, making everyone even more unsettled. Damn it, that man was actually King Wuxuan King Wuxuan made congee for his concubine This wasn't an ordinary thing even in an ordinary family's home, let alone for someone like King Wuxuan!

After that day, rumors began to spread throughout Fengqi City. It was said that King Wuxuan doted on his concubine wife to an extreme degree, so much so that he almost forgot his own identity as a king. Of course, in this feudal society, such rumors often portrayed a woman's cunning schemes behind a man's excessive love.

Therefore, among the wives of officials, news about Wu Xuan Wang's concubine spread more and more. It was said that the concubine had a fox-like face and used her feminine wiles to completely captivate Wu Xuan Wang. As a result, most official wives looked down upon her.

But there were also women who had been inspired by this, those who were not favored, and they desperately wanted to come to Qin Luoyan here to learn the art of charming and subduing men.

These things, she only knew when a real lady found Qin Luoyan. But by then, it was too late. Rumors had spread throughout the city, leaving her no chance to explain.

The second day after Fu Ziheng took away the metal whip, he issued a secret edict, addressed to Qin Luoyan. It essentially instructed her to infiltrate the weapons workshop of the Ministry of War and investigate the source of Gengjin.

"Gengjin" In the study, Qin Luoyan finished reading the secret edict and couldn't help but ask Fu Zimo, "So the emperor's meaning is to find the source of Gengjin"

Fu Zi Mo nodded, "That's right, you know the value of Gengjin is almost the same as gold, but its value is secondary. The key is that this kind of thing cannot fall into the hands of other countries. A country wants to be strong and awe-inspiring, it must have the confidence in its military strength. Many countries are now eyeing Gengjin. There is an official in the Ministry of War who is responsible for purchasing it. Nowadays, almost all the Gengjin in Nan Yue Kingdom has been bought by him. But that person is a weirdo, he doesn't get along with others well, and his temper is strange. So far, no one knows where he gets the Gengjin from."

After hearing his explanation, Qin Luoyan finally understood. It turned out that all of this was for Gengjin, a newly discovered rare metal. However, it made sense. Throughout history, scarce mineral resources have always been coveted by powerful forces. It's just that Gengjin is so valuable that even countries around the world are paying attention to it.

"If that's the case, then there's no need for me to get involved. In Nanyue Kingdom, aren't all the commoners and subjects people of the emperor The Ministry of War has many people too. It's easier to hear what they're saying if you're close by, isn't it" Qin Luoyan thought about it and asked her doubts.

Fu Zimu couldn't help but add a few points of admiration to his gaze at her. He reached out and gently touched her head, "You are indeed intelligent. Of course, that's not all. As I just said, that person is very eccentric, basically doesn't interact with others, but singles out skilled craftsmen. And as I mentioned, people from the Tiangige have also infiltrated the Ministry of War, and among them... it's very possible that your eldest brother is involved."

"People from the Heavenly Machine Pavilion And my eldest brother..." Qin Luo'yan couldn't help but be surprised, suddenly realizing, "You mean that people from the Heavenly Machine Pavilion are also after this Gengjin source"

“Yes, and it's not just the Tiangijia. A lot of skilled craftsmen have infiltrated the Tiangijia recently. Although we don't know who their backers are, it's not hard to guess why they're here.” Fu Zimo’s fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, a subconscious habit he had when thinking.

Qin Luoyan listened intently and paced back and forth in the room, seemingly deep in thought, contemplating the intricacies of the situation. The most capable individuals were all placed within the Ministry of War, which was one of Nan Yue's core departments. If any confidential information were to leak out, the consequences would be unimaginable, especially considering the matter of the Gengjin source. It was no wonder that even Fu Zimo had to take this seriously.

"By the way, Zhou Li's skills are pretty good too, why not let him go" Qin Luoyan asked again.

Fu ZiMo frowned and sighed, "Although he's quite skilled, do you think he could stand out in that person's eyes compared to your senior brother"

Compared to Zhou Li, Xiao Fan had no advantages whatsoever. She thought about it over and over again, and it seemed that she was the only one who could possibly play against Xiao Fan.

"Then when should I go" Qin Luoyan thought of Xiao Yujing, "The weapons workshop in the Ministry of War should be in Fenqicheng, right Can I still come back at night if I go to work every day"

"Work" For the unfamiliar word that came out of her mouth, Fu Zimo was already used to it. "You mean working for a living, right This might disappoint you. The weapons workshop of the Ministry of War is not in Fengqicheng, but in a hidden suburb of Fengqicheng. A weapons workshop of the Ministry of War can produce most of the weapons needed by the Nan Yue army. The place is small, do you think it's possible If the place is large, then the target is too obvious. So after you go to the Ministry of War's weapons workshop, you probably won't have much time to come back."

“Ah…” Hearing him say that, Qin Luoyan’s face immediately crumpled. She walked up to him and sat down on his lap, “Then I won't be able to see Xiao Yujing and you for a long time”

Fu Zi Mo smiled, a tenderness in his smile that he hadn't even noticed himself, "If the mountain won't come to me, I will go to the mountain. This King will naturally go see you, just have to endure for a while."

Qin Luo'yan playfully bit his lip, with a hint of breathlessness, she said: "Let me go if you want, but there's no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Just see how His Royal Highness performs today..."
