Seeing that "Chen Huanxian" wanted to give his reply a thorough consideration, it was inconvenient for Yaoma and Changren to say anything more.

After all, no matter how pressing the difficulties on their side are, they cannot impose this imminent pressure on a person who has no stake in it.

It was already getting late, and they learned that "Chen Huanxian" had sneaked out of the Qin Palace to report the news, so Yaoma and the others could not waste her precious time any longer. They only said that they would inform the news as soon as possible.

The people in Guisheng's team asked Qi Mu to take them back to "Taofang", and said that if there was anything important, they could go to "Taofang" to send a message, and Qi Mu would stay there for the time being.

On the way back to Qin Palace, Si Jiang asked in confusion: "Why did you agree to them?"

He knew Chen Baiqi to a certain extent, and if she was unwilling to agree to something, she would not show such an expression.

Chen Baiqi did not hide anything and told him his inner guess: "I just heard from Yao Ma that Mo Xia found a powerful person to answer questions three years ago. I guess it is very likely that he is...brother-in-law."

When Si Jiang heard this, his expression was a little startled.

Is that person Ji Yun?

"Now that you are strangers to him, how do you go to see him?" Si Jiang said.

Chen Baiqi passed a mulberry tree and looked up. Under the light of the night pearl, she could see ripe black and red mulberries crowded among the leaves and branches. She stepped up, picked one and put it in her mouth, with the tip of her tongue

As soon as he rolled it up and closed his teeth, his mouth was filled with a sweet and sour taste, but in the end the sweetness was even more sour.

"There are some things that I still want to find out. Besides, there must be a reason for his sudden change in temperament, and it happened three years ago... If I don't find out, I will feel uneasy."

When Si Jiang heard this, he didn't know how to answer the question for a moment.

Chen Baiqi shushed and narrowed her eyes, her pupils swaying, as if she was recalling something again: "In fact, this time Mo Xia not only sent She Sanniang to pretend to be Le Ling to wait for an assassination, but also sent a reinforcement force - the Mo family's Xiao

Troop, this owl troop did not come by diving, but took a different route to carry a flying tool - the wooden kite. I think you should be familiar with it. After all, there was a chapter in the Luban Mechanical Map you gave me.

It describes how to use wooden parts to build a large wooden bird that can fly in the air. Unfortunately, it is just a mechanical diagram fragment. Although there is a brief description in it, there are no specific drawings."

Speaking of this, Chen Baiqi slowly lowered his voice, as if he was intrigued and his voice was filled with a low-pitched smile: "But they were able to completely create the wooden kite. What does this mean? This means that they

In my hand... I have another fragment of the Luban Machinery Map."

Si Jiang was shocked when he heard this.

The Luban Mechanical Fragment in Chen Baiqi's hand records detailed descriptions of the large army's mechanisms, but there are only two manufacturing drawings. One is multi-functional long-range and short-range weapons, a total of seven types, including large stone forts and crossbows.

Wait, the second is the fragment of the blueprint of the "Soul" Trojan horse mechanism.

The "Wooden Kite" only has some brief descriptions but no drawings. In fact, there are many descriptions of Luban mechanisms such as the "Wooden Kite". However, due to the loss of the drawings, it is difficult to piece together a complete mechanism wooden structure based on text alone.

Tools come.

How coveted was Lu Gong's mechanical drawings that had not been passed down to ancient times? How could Si Jiang not know that it was because of this Lu Ban mechanical drawings that the Jiang State was captured by Zhao and other surrounding small countries?

It was destroyed. Although he managed to escape in the end, this indelible memory of pain was deeply engraved in his heart just like this Luban mechanical diagram.

So when he was willing to give this copy of Luban's mechanical blueprints to Chen Baiqi, it was not so much to seek her blessing, but more because he didn't want to carry this painful past.

Knowing that Chen Baiqi was currently interested in the possible existence of the "Luban Mechanical Diagram" in Mo Xia's hands, Si Jiang wanted to persuade her, but he knew that she seemed to be easy to talk to, but in fact she never let anyone interfere with her decisions.

"It turns out that the copy in your hand was accidentally left to the world by the great master of the Mohist family. It is not unreasonable that they still have a fragment of the scroll in their hands." At this point, he let out a breath and said seriously: "But

After all, this is an internal dispute within the Mo family, and it will be too troublesome for you to be involved..."

In fact, there were other considerations for Chen Baiqi to accept this matter. She rubbed her chin and said: "There are other reasons for accepting this matter. This Mo Xia has always taken chivalry and support as his duty, and even went to the extreme to uphold justice.

and morality as an unshirkable responsibility. Although I don’t know why they targeted Yingji this time, the people they targeted are like gangrene on the bones and will never die. And if we follow Mo Bian’s approach

, if he can win, he can not only conquer a group of chivalrous and capable people for his own use, but also help Yingji solve some foreign troubles. Due to his favor, Yingji will protect Lord Mengchang until the alliance of the Six Nations is over. Moreover, this

The Mo family has already been involved with me extensively. Both Chief Peinan and Mo Jing are involved with the Mo family, and I have a close relationship with them. In addition, my brother-in-law is also involved, so it would be inappropriate to reject this matter rashly.

"

It sounds like this if you listen carefully. Of course, the premise of everything is that she can win, but Si Jiang has always trusted Chen Baiqi's ability, so he did not dwell on this issue, and just said: "If you really become a big player in the Mo family,

What are you going to do when you meet Ji Yun in the battle for Ling?"

Chen Baiqi paused for a moment, and then said with a "What can I do, I'm also very desperate" look on his face: "If you can persuade me, please do it, but if you can't...then let each of you show your ability according to your own means!"

Isn't this just what the saying goes, if the soft one doesn't work, we'll hit him hard. If he doesn't accept it, we'll beat him until he accepts it!

"Aren't you going to get to know him?" Si Jiang asked tentatively.

Chen Baiqi frowned, seeming to be thinking.

"If he has a very good reason to kill Ying Ji, you are not going to help him?" Si Jiang asked again.

When Chen Baiqi heard this, he seemed to suddenly become enlightened, and his eyes widened: "If he has a reason to kill Yingji, then I will not stop him anymore, but all this must be after the alliance of the six nations. At the moment, he still has

Can't die."

When Si Jiang heard that Chen Baiqi obviously didn't say anything, the intimate relationship between what he said was immediately clear.

Unexpectedly, several years have passed, but Ji Yun's status in her heart is not weak at all. The person he wants to kill is Chen Baiqi, and there is no need to defend or investigate.

Si Jiang said sourly: "I saw you working so hard to save Ying Ji before. I thought you would be a little intolerant of Ying Ji."

Chen Baiqi said very straightforwardly: "He is not my lord. His life and death are only related to my plan. As long as it does not hinder me, there is nothing wrong with retaliating for revenge and repaying injustice."

"..." Si Jiang paused for a long time, then remembered something, and suddenly looked at her strangely and said, "How come you... suddenly focused on Lord Mengchang as your lord?"

Chen Baiqi squinted his eyes: "This question has been asked by many people, but I want to know, why do you ask it like this?"

Si Jiang was asked back, and he blinked his eyelashes, as if he was considering what to say: "Because he and Chu Cang... well, he and your former lord are very different from each other in every aspect.

, I always thought you would like his kind, but you chose the opposite one, so... I'm just purely curious."

The previous lord... Although Si Jiang stopped talking in time and did not mention the name that was considered taboo among Chen Baiqi, Chen Baiqi still realized immediately that he was talking about Chu Cangyue.

Chen Baiqi didn't respond immediately, and Si Jiang also fell silent for a moment, as if he felt that he had forgotten to mention this matter, and simply went out without thinking.

There was silence between the two for a while, and finally Chen Baiqi spoke: "He was chosen by me, and Lord Mengchang... I guess God chose him for me."

This statement sounds quite clear at first, but when I think about it more carefully, I feel that I don’t understand it at all. It’s like searching for something in the fog, only to come up empty-handed.

It's just that Si Jiang also realized what was going on and didn't continue the topic, so the two of them were silent for a moment.

When they entered the Qin Palace, they repeated their old trick and used the "atomization" of Chen Baiqi's evil witch power to cover up their figures, allowing Si Jiang to take them back to their original residence with Qinggong.

At this time, there was only half an hour left before dawn.

Back in the room, Chen Baiqi did not close his eyes, but lay on the bed and went through all the things in front of him and the future over and over in his mind.

Just after dawn, before the dew on the steps dried, someone knocked on the door.

Chen Baiqi tidied up his clothes and went to open the door. Standing outside the door was Chief Peinan.

When he saw Chen Baiqi, his expression obviously relaxed and he asked, "When did you come back last night?"

He waited for her all night.

He didn't say it clearly, but when Chen Baiqi saw the dark blue under Shan Zhang Pei Nan's eyes, he knew that he must have been up all night waiting for her. And when she came back last night, she did want to talk to him. It can be seen that the darkness in his room was afraid of him.

He had already fallen asleep, thinking that he was tired and tired from keeping her sleeping in the past few days, so he didn't want to disturb his rest, so he hesitated and went straight back to the room.

Chen Baiqi said: "I have only been back for a while, why did the mountain chief get up so early?"

"You're used to it, then go sleep a little longer." Seeing that Chen Baiqi's complexion was not good, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red, as if he was tired due to staying up late, Mr. Pei Nanshan suddenly felt a little distressed, always feeling that he was burdened at such an age.

Faced with the unbearable pressure and responsibilities that ordinary people could bear, she felt that he, the mountain leader, was really incompetent and could not protect her from a stable life, so he could only run around and work hard every day.

Chen Baiqi rubbed his slightly swollen eyes and smiled and said: "No, I can't sleep anyway. I guess Yingji will send someone to tell us about it soon, and we will have to trouble the mountain chief for the next thing."

Although Chen Baiqi did not elaborate, Chief Peinan also knew what she wanted to "trouble" him with.

He said: "Don't worry, you have built the ladder for me in advance. How can I let all your efforts be in vain?"

As he said that, he suppressed Chen Baiqi's move of rubbing her eyes vigorously, led her to the table, took out a clean white cloth from his sleeve and soaked it with overnight tea, then asked her to sit down and brought her an ice-cold cloth.

The water gently massaged the swelling around her eyes.

Although Chen Baiqi was a little surprised by Chief Peinan's behavior, he probably stayed up all night last night, which caused him to feel so limp and sluggish when he got up today that he couldn't even lift his energy, so he didn't resist.

In addition, her eyes were a little itchy and swollen, and she wanted to rub them. She probably had a weak fire, so she felt very comfortable when she pressed the cold tea on them.

She squinted her eyes, raised her head and asked, "Is the mountain chief sure of winning Yingji?"

"There may have been some uncertainty before. Now that you have a favor to save him, and the people of the Mo family regard him as a thorn in their side, they will definitely use endless hunting methods. If he is smart enough,

It’s better to have an ally at this moment than to have to be wary of an enemy who stabs you in the back.”

"The mountain chief really considers Zhou Dao." Chen Baiqi felt comfortable being taken care of by the mountain chief, and the kind words came out of his mouth without realizing it.

When Mount Peinan heard this, the beauty broke the ice and smiled: "Okay, close your eyes quickly and I'll apply it for you, otherwise you won't be able to go out to meet people later."

Sure enough, as Chen Baiqi expected, not long after, Yong Palace sent a servant to the "Changsheng Garden" to meet with the chief of Peinan Mountain and "Chen Huanxian".

Regarding how "Chen Huanxian" bravely entered the water to rescue the King of Qin, there was a lot of talk in the palace, so this chamberlain treated "Chen Huanxian"'s master and apprentice with the utmost respect and without any slights.

Chen Baiqi and Chief Peinan came to Yong Temple, which was Ying Ji's dormitory. There were two rows of strict military guards guarding the door of the palace. Logically speaking, few people would go directly into the inner hall to talk when meeting guests. This was not in compliance with the rules.

It also seemed that the two parties were too close, but I heard from Yingji that they could enter directly. To say that the master and the apprentice were people who had come and gone, the host did not feel that the etiquette was messed up in such a small scene.

, they themselves didn’t care much about it.
