Purple Chen Pavilion, which is built entirely of solid wood, is not inferior to those majestic government buildings built of concrete in terms of scale, but it still cannot get rid of the inherent weakness of wooden buildings that are afraid of fire. No matter how majestic a wooden building is, it will be damaged if it is not managed properly.
It can be burned to nothing by a piece of firewood. Therefore, on the earth side, fire prevention has always been regarded as the top priority in disaster management of wooden buildings.
However, riding the yellow side is different.
Of course, the vulnerability of wooden buildings to fire has not changed, but the existence of the water-based Brahma method makes it very easy to extinguish fires. Unless strong fire oil is poured on it or the Brahma method is used to force the fire, otherwise the wooden building will burn down due to some negligence.
It can be said that this situation has not been encountered in decades.
As the administrative center of Liyang Mansion, Zichen Pavilion certainly has no omissions in its disaster prevention configuration. Among the maids waiting in the corridor, there are several water mages. The flames rising from several green vines in the executive room,
Under the "Sanlin" of the Brahma Dharma, it was pressed down before it could stretch out.
It can be said that except for the screen that was broken by someone, there was no actual damage to the executive office. It was just that Fanfa Sanlin made everything in the executive office wet, and the green plants that broke the flower pots also needed to be replaced, so
While the maids were busy cleaning up, the lady in charge and the person who started the pupa temporarily moved to another guest room on the same floor to sort out the situation there.
"...In other words, it was Aunt Ba who brought you here?"
In the guest room, Wu Yan rubbed his forehead as if he had a headache, and let out a sigh that was quite rare for a leader.
Barbara is a veteran retainer who has served the Wu family since the ancestor Li Yanggong. She has also taken care of sisters Wu Yan and Wu Zhen since they were young. She is similar to an adoptive mother. It can be seen from the fact that Barbara was appointed as the head of the house.
Yan's trust in his personality and ability is also the only person who can make the heroine in charge unable to lift him up emotionally.
"In this case, there is nothing we can do. You are not allowed to come in without permission next time."
As a result, Wu Yan could only give a mediocre reprimand like "I won't do it next time."
"I know, I'm so sorry."
Although it was an innocent disaster, Gu Chen was still somewhat conscious of causing a disturbance, so he bowed his head and apologized honestly. After apologizing, he glanced around, and Gu Chen felt a different kind of curiosity.
"Speaking of which, what are those twisted rattans about?"
Gu Chen looked at the female hero in charge with keen interest.
At first he thought it was some kind of defense mechanism, but then he thought about it. If it was a defense mechanism, it should have reacted the moment he stepped into the butler's office. However, those rattans suddenly appeared during the conversation, so there was
It was most likely that he was being manipulated. If he was being manipulated, Gu Chen intuitively thought that the maid named "Hua Yun" had gone and returned, but the fact that she was not seen until the end of the commotion made him quite concerned.
"In this case, Qing's reaction is surprisingly quick. Even a highly skilled assassin cannot escape from the entanglement of the Ivy Formation, but Qing managed to escape effortlessly. Could it be that those pair of saddles are some kind of high-grade accumulator?
"
Wu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at someone with a question instead of an answer.
"Uh..." Gu Chen was embarrassed when asked.
Among the two Brahma powers he acquired, "Wind Touch" helped him detect crises early, while "Fire Blast" gave him the power to advance rapidly. Although the Brahma Power itself is not something that needs to be deliberately concealed, it is bound to be explained.
It will involve the connection between the Chenghuang ancestors and the Fanneng tree. Even Gu Chen himself is far from clear about these two points, and of course he cannot elaborate on them with Wu Yan.
Gu Chen glanced at Wu Yan. The heroine in charge didn't seem to want to hide the matter about the Ivy Array, but her tendency to "exchange with equivalent items if she wanted to know the secret" was particularly obvious. After thinking about it again and again, Gu Chen still shrugged helplessly.
Shrug your shoulders.
"Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask."
"That's right, it's better to do this." Wu Yan also exhaled, paused and looked up. "Although the words I told you earlier are not particularly confidential, it's best for you to forget them all. You will not be allowed to do so in the future.
Mention it on any occasion, understand?"
As the head of a vast territory, it is natural to maintain the majesty of the ruler. However, the situation of pouring out troubles like before is undoubtedly contrary to this requirement. Regardless of the confidants, if it spreads among the retainers, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble.
It would cause disturbances, and even indirectly reduce the dominance of Liyang Mansion. Therefore, it was natural for Wu Yan to issue a silence order.
"Not even Wu Zhen?" Gu Chen asked tentatively.
"Especially Wu Zhen!" Wu Yan glared over fiercely.
"Well……"
Gu Chen, who was stared at by the female hero alone, couldn't help but shudder. It seems that maintaining the image of his sister is still a much more important issue than the majesty of the boss. Gu Chen, who noticed the female hero's thoughts, was secretly laughing.
At the same time, I couldn't help but feel an itching feeling in my heart.
Think about it, the heroine Li Yang, who is famous among the nations and widely respected by her subjects for her reputation as "the whip of the princes" and "the tigress of the southern border", by chance, listened to her troubles and got a glimpse of her rarely known secrets.
Face. Although I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse, I always feel that the psychological distance between the two parties seems to have become much closer at once?
(No, no, maybe I think too much...)
Gu Chen shook his head. Of course, this was just his own idea. In fact, he had no way of knowing what Wu Yan was thinking. And based on his previous workplace experience, getting too close to his boss was not a good thing. So Gu Chen shook his head,
He took the opportunity of the maid serving tea to bring the conversation back to the main topic.
"Then, may I ask what your Highness's instructions were when he summoned me?"
"Well, the alarm bell rang at the west gate of Liyang the day before yesterday for no reason, and I got a report that it was the commotion caused by Gewufang." Wu Yan picked up the tea cup, and his tone and demeanor returned to the pace of Liyang's boss. "I heard Han Yu say, Qing did it.
That caged cart dragged the hunting horse from the city all the way to Nanchuan Fort, and the monsters along the way were unstoppable. In the end, the Ni Zewu was used to subdue it. But what about this incredible creation?"
"Well, strictly speaking, it's not a cage car anymore. Let's call it an 'armored car'." Gu Chen shrugged.
The actual performance of the caged truck monster modified by the Rong Ling Rong Caster is comparable to that of the heavy-duty truck on the Earth side. However, the name "truck" seems not so down-to-earth on the Chenghuang side, so after careful consideration,
Gu Chen borrowed the name of the Li Palace Lord to name the new vehicle "Armor Car".
"Armor car? Is it related to the giant armor you took away last time?" The quick-thinking female hero reacted on the spot.
"That's right. The giant armor is only part of the material for assembling the armored vehicle. In fact, there are many other elements." Gu Chen nodded and reported honestly. "But something went wrong with the Rong Ling casting in the final stage.
, which resulted in the armored car going berserk and causing a riot in Ximen. Well, I’m really embarrassed to ask His Highness to help clean up."
