After Luo Junyao and Song Huan said goodbye to Madam Luo, they did not return home. Instead, they asked the carriage to send Song Huan and the others back, and they took the people to the west of the city.
The armed guards who originally blocked the west of the city have evacuated, but because of the previous events, the west of the city has become increasingly desolate. Probably out of fear of being implicated, many people who originally lived here left as soon as the armed guards evacuated. It is not known whether they left temporarily or not.
Forever.
But in Luo Junyao's view, no matter whether they leave temporarily or permanently, they can never come back.
In the future, the west of the city will no longer be the gray area of Shangyong in their original impression.
"Princess." Xiying and Leng Shuang appeared in front of them and bowed respectfully.
Luo Jun shook his head and asked, "How are things going?"
Xiying said: "In compliance with the identity of the prince and princess, the place was packed yesterday. It is behind the Mingyin Pavilion. The gentlemen have already come to report this morning and have been here for a while."
Luo Junyao was very satisfied, "Ayan hasn't come here yet?"
Xiying said: "The prince left the city early in the morning."
"It's not good to keep them waiting for a long time. Let's go there first." Luo Junyao said.
Xi Ying and Leng Shuang followed Luo Jun and walked all the way to their destination.
Luo Junyao asked as she walked: "Have you settled the people you asked to settle before?" She had promised Mr. Bian, the information seller, to help him settle some people, so naturally she couldn't break her promise.
Xiying said: "Boss Cui is responsible for this matter. Boss Cui asked them to move them out of the west of the city and find another place to settle them. As for how to resettle them in the future, we will have to wait until after the New Year."
Luo Junyao nodded and said, "Tell Cui Zheyu that if there are any of those people she can use, she can use them. If they are ordinary women and children who cannot be accommodated, ask her to go back and find Mrs. Xiaoyuan Hou."
Hearing her talk about Mrs. Xiaoyuan Hou, Xiying couldn't help but look up at her.
They all know that General Yu and his wife are still at a stalemate. From what the princess means, does Mrs. Yu want to forgive General Yu and reunite the couple?
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so it's definitely better to get together and get together."
In fact, she was not very clear about Mrs. Luo's thoughts. If it were her, she would not be sure whether she would continue to wait for Xie Yan after he had been missing for ten years or would have already started living her own life again.
But she could tell that Mrs. Luo didn't really want to sever the relationship with Yu Mingqiu, but she felt a little uncomfortable if she exposed him so easily. In this case, what about a small push?
Just like what she said to Madam Luo, even if life is not satisfactory after getting back together with Yu Mingqiu, she still believes that Madam Luo will be able to get out on her own with her perseverance.
No matter what, it's better than dragging it like this.
Although Yu Mingqiu's thing needs a lot of repairs, don't live awkwardly for too long, everyone will feel uncomfortable.
"That's what the princess said." Xiying said, "General Yu must be very happy too." In Xiying's eyes, Yu Mingqiu is an admirable person. He and his wife can reunite harmoniously, so they are naturally happy for him.
While they were talking, the three of them had already arrived in front of a large mansion. There was no plaque hanging in front of the door. This is very common in the west of the city. Many mansions here do not hang plaques.
Xiying was just a little worried, "Princess, the west of the city has never been very stable. Isn't it a little bit... that you set up the research and development department here?" Although those gentlemen are not scholars, most of them are ordinary people who have not practiced martial arts.
Luo Jun waved his hands and said: "I can't help it. What if the noise is too big and disturbs the people in the future? Or it can only be placed outside the city. If it is placed outside the city... everyone has a family and a family, wouldn't it be more difficult?
trouble?"
It's not that we can't build a Dazhuangzi with a secret location and move all the relevant people there. But it would be a waste of time to carry out large-scale construction. Secondly, it has not reached this point yet, but it will attract people's attention.
"What do you mean, Princess?" Could it be that if you put it here, there wouldn't be much movement?
Leng Shuang tilted her head and said, "Princess, you mean Mingyin Pavilion?"
Luo Junyao smiled like a flower, "Sure enough, beautiful women are the smartest."
Now that there is an underground palace under the Mingyin Pavilion, it is no secret in the Regent's Palace. Xiying naturally knows this too. He couldn't help but look sideways at Luo Junyao, "Princess, you plan to use the Mingyin Pavilion for..."
Luo Junyao said: "This is not my plan, this is your prince's plan. Such a big place cannot be left empty. It must be used for something, right?"
Leng Shuang said: "Mingyin Pavilion is huge in area, and its decoration is more gorgeous and exquisite than many princes' mansions in Shangyong. Is it a waste to just use it as a research and development department?" I don't know when the research and development department will be officially opened.
There are less than ten people, and it is really a waste to allocate a building complex as large as Mingyin Pavilion to them.
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "That is indeed a waste, so the prince and I plan to let Mingyin Pavilion continue to reopen after a while."
The Research and Manufacturing Department only needs a small area and a passage from Mingyin Pavilion to enter the underground palace. This is not a difficult task. It only requires a slight modification to the entrance of the underground palace.
Although the entrance to the underground palace is still in the Mingyin Pavilion, people in the Mingyin Pavilion will no longer see them, and people who enter the Mingyin Pavilion through the passage will not know that they have entered the Mingyin Pavilion.
They already have plans and drawings regarding these. Luo Jinxing can only clean up the underground palace, and then the above-ground construction can start.
I opened the door and walked in. It was a large courtyard with three entrances. The garden in the backyard was separated from the back garden of Mingyin Pavilion by an alley.
The eight craftsmen they met yesterday were already waiting in the hall. Seeing Luo Junyao come in, everyone quickly put down their things and stood up to salute, "I've met the princess."
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "I've kept you waiting for a long time. What do you think of this place?"
Everyone said hello in unison.
The environment here is indeed much better than the one they had at the Ordnance Bureau. Not only is the place large, but all the tools and materials are very well prepared. It was obviously prepared by the Prince Regent's Palace in advance.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There are even many books, some of which are not even collected by the Ordnance Bureau, and some of the ink is still new, obviously copied not long ago.
Many of their abilities have been passed down orally from generation to generation or taught step by step by masters, but many of the books here systematically teach relevant knowledge. Although some of them seem too simple for them, these books can train a large number of people.
Craftsmen with good abilities do not need to be taught every bit by the master.
Once you have a certain foundation, no matter how profound something is, you often have to rely on your own diligence and understanding.
There are also many arithmetic, geology and other miscellaneous books here, which were obviously placed here specially by the Princess Regent.
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "As long as you are satisfied, you will do errands here every day from now on. Has Xiying told you about the salary? Is there anything you are dissatisfied with?"
"Back to the princess, I have already said it." The leader of the old man replied: "The prince and the princess have treated you kindly, and we have no dissatisfaction at all."
"That's good." Luo Junyao thought for a while and said: "You must have heard that this place is not very stable before. But don't worry, the prince also thinks that it is not a problem to leave the west side of the city alone. Soon the imperial court will take over the west side of the city.
The Bingma Si Yamen has moved here. The prince and I attach great importance to what you want to do. The Zhenguo Army will also have people stationed nearby. In the future, the west of the city will be the same as other places in Yong. There is no need for security issues.
no need to worry."
"Thank you for your consideration, Princess." Everyone said in unison.
In fact, they were not worried about this issue. Since the Regent's Palace placed them here, there must be an explanation.
They can also see the importance of what the princess needs them to study, and the regent's palace will definitely not set the location in a dangerous place.
"Princess..." A middle-aged man couldn't help but said, "Well, can we start..."
Others also looked at Luo Junyao eagerly. They didn't care about those trivial matters. They just wanted to quickly take a look at the drawings they only glanced at yesterday and start their work quickly.
Several people didn't sleep well when they went home last night. They just wished they couldn't steal the drawings home and study them in detail.
Luo Junyao laughed a little, thought for a while and nodded: "You are so diligent, how can I stop you? Everyone, go to the study."
There is a very spacious study room in this house. The study room was transformed into a meeting room-like place. There is a huge rectangular table and chairs are placed around the table.
The bookshelves are all placed against the corners, making the entire study room spacious and bright. This is the place where everyone usually gathers to discuss issues. In addition, everyone also has a separate room, and there are several rooms in the backyard where various materials are placed.
A room for tools and a room for making weapons.
Compared to the previous environment where many people were crowded together, I couldn't be more satisfied.
Luo Junyao took out the blueprint, and everyone immediately gathered around and started discussing the blueprint.
Luo Junyao only gave a simple explanation, and did not explain it to them in detail bit by bit. He did not even show them any real objects.
She doesn't intend for them to imitate the samples she has made. Some things still need to be explored bit by bit by oneself.
Anyway, she already had all the relevant books in her study. If they couldn't find it themselves or make it, she would have to find someone else who was talented and willing to study it.
Seeing that these people were obsessed with the drawings and no longer had time to pay attention to her as the regent princess, Luo Junyao smiled without caring and got up and walked out of the study.
As soon as he left the door, he saw Xie Yan standing under the eaves of the yard, looking up at the sky. The sky was still filled with snowflakes. The pure white snowflakes fell on his shoulders and hair, making his face look like a jade sculpture, handsome and solemn.
Xie Yan turned back to look at her. Luo Junyao walked briskly to him and said with a smile: "When did you come? Why don't you go in?"
Xie Yan said: "I saw you guys were busy, so I didn't go in to disturb you. Are you done?"
He had just seen her explaining the drawings to the craftsmen at the door. She was still young, delicate and cute, but when she was serious, she had a concentration and temperament that was completely different from usual.
At first glance, even the most pedantic scholar would be unable to question her, as if she was born to sit there teaching people and solving their doubts.
Luo Junyao nodded and said: "I'll just say it briefly, they still have to do their own research."
Xie Yan nodded and said: "Well done, thank you for the hard work."
Luo Junyao put her arms around his waist, leaned into his arms, and said with a smile: "It's not hard. I just need to start and pick up ready-made ones. How nice." She wanted a lot of stuff, but she didn't want it.
If you don’t want to spend so much time researching it yourself, why don’t you find some smart people to give them some advice?
Xie Yan smiled, put his arms around her and asked, "Go and see Jinxing?"
Luo Junyao blinked and quickly reacted, "Second brother is in Mingyin Pavilion?"
"We have arrived at the underground palace under Mingyin Pavilion today."
"Then let's go quickly!" Luo Junyao immediately became excited, "I've been curious about it for a long time, but they didn't let me go down there. Everyone from Luanyi Division has run away, so there shouldn't be any danger inside, right?"
Xie Yan said: "No more now."
"..." So it was there before?
Xie Yan raised his hand to touch her cheek, which was slightly chilled by the cold wind, "Don't worry, Jinxing is not injured."
Luo Junyao pulled Xie Yan and urged: "Go quickly, go quickly!"
The underground palace under Mingyin Pavilion was indeed more than what they had seen before. To be precise, the white jade underground palace they saw that night was just a space in the underground palace, less than one-tenth of the size of the underground palace itself.
Luo Jinxing was leading the soldiers of the Dingguo Army to carefully search every corner of the underground palace in case there were any people or dangerous institutions hidden inside.
They came all the way from the tunnel outside the city, and indeed spent a lot of time looking at the underground palace's mechanisms and the enemies lurking in the underground palace. Fortunately, they did not cause any casualties.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Luo Jinxing stood in the middle of the White Jade Underground Palace, frowning as he looked at this place that looked very expensive at first glance.
Cai Shang, who was following him, saw that he had been staring at the white jade top above his head, with a bitter look on his face and quickly reminded him: "Master, don't move around here."
Luo Jinxing raised his eyebrows slightly, and Cai Shang said: "The top is full of kerosene. If you don't try to remove it first, the entire underground palace will be destroyed accidentally."
Luo Jinxing was a little speechless, "I'm not stupid." Even if he didn't know it originally, after cleaning it up these days, he knew how many evil traps these people had created here.
"These emperors are so extravagant..."
Cai Shang looked around and reminded in a low voice: "Second Young Master, please don't talk nonsense." Although the Second Young Master said that he was not the current royal family, he was still the royal family. Didn't the current royal family build imperial mausoleums?
"In addition, the institutions here should not have been set up when the imperial mausoleum was built, but were installed in recent years." Cai Shangdao.
"People from Luanyi Division?" Luo Jinxing raised his eyebrows.
Cai Shang nodded and said, "The person who created this mechanism is not evil. If he wanted to, everyone who enters this underground palace will probably be burned to death in it."
Luo Jinxing frowned in disgust. He had never been fond of these sneaky tricks.
"Find someone who is proficient in mechanism skills to dismantle these things as soon as possible." Luo Jinxing said, "Don't break them. The regent said that this underground palace is still useful."
"Yes, sir, don't worry." Cai Shang responded respectfully.
While the two were talking, Luo Junyao's voice came from the entrance on the other side, "Second brother!"
Luo Jinxing looked back, and sure enough he saw Luo Junyao and Xie Yan walking down the stairs above. The two people had obviously come in from the Mingyin Pavilion.
"Why are you here?" Luo Jinxing said with a surprised smile.
Luo Junyao said, "I made a special trip to see my second brother."
Luo Jinxing still knew his little sister somewhat. He looked at Xie Yan who was following behind and said with a smile: "Look at me? Are you curious about the situation in this underground palace?"
Luo Junyao looked at her second brother and smiled sweetly and innocently. If you see through it, don't tell her, and she is really here to visit the class.
