Heavenly Dao Formula

Qi Country, Shangyuan City.

"What did you say!?" Ning Weiyuan looked at his relatives in shock, "The garrison at Yashan Port was defeated?"

The latter booed a few times in embarrassment, "Your Majesty, keep your voice down, keep your voice down! I also inquired about the news secretly, so don't let those alchemists notice."

"Are you sure the news is correct?"

"Yes, didn't you ask me to arrange more of my own people there." The latter rubbed his hands and said, "A fast horse rushed to Shangyuan today, saying that the pier on the shore was violently attacked by the Jinxia Army, and the front battalion retreated. Thirty miles away, there are thousands of dead and injured, and the entire coast is engulfed in flames!"

Ning Weiyuan froze in place in disbelief.

The pier was attacked, indicating that Jinxia launched the battle from the sea. Naval battles require ships, skilled sailors, or, to put it bluntly, a lot of money for support. The Seven-star Privy Council, dominated by Xu Guo, is not defenseless. Their navy will be defeated by the Jinxia army. Doesn't it mean that Jinxia's investment in the sea is higher than that of Xu Guo?

He really couldn't imagine how his third sister would do it against a powerful kingdom with the financial power of a state.

"What else did you hear? Tell me!" After a while, Ning Weiyuan recovered. He grabbed his cronies and said in a low voice.

Although what the latter learned was only some fragments of the battlefield, Ning Weiyuan, who had military experience himself, still pieced together the general situation at that time from it.

In short, the seven-star army was defeated in the face of incredible long-range firepower.

This kind of failure has nothing to do with command, morale, or military discipline, and it can't be said that the generals of the army have any dereliction of duty. It is obvious that they can't win, and there is no chance of a lucky comeback.

"Damn it!" Ning Weiyuan slammed his fist on the armrest of the seat, "It's the Mo family again!"

Undoubtedly, the mechanism beasts that Jinxia used in the First Battle of Shenzhou, and the artillery fire that could launch attacks in Haitian, are all inseparable from the defected official of the Machinery Bureau and the daughter of the Mohist family.

"Your Majesty, hasn't that Miss Mo already severed ties with the Mo family..."

"Who knows?" Ning Weiyuan said angrily, "That man and Sanmei have always been on good terms, the Mo family might just want to bet on both ends!"

The confidant kept his mouth shut.

When Mo Yun and Ning Wanjun were close friends, Jinxia Yancheng was still under the control of the Wang family. Who would have thought at that time that the dignified princess would turn against the royal family and the Privy Council, and stand firm in Shenzhou under tremendous pressure. land. It's just that Ning Weiyuan has a martial temper, and he always accepts what he says, so it's better not to refute at this time.

"I can't go on like this, I have to arrest all the Mo family and interrogate them!" Ning Weiyuan suddenly stood up, "Why can a little girl like Mo Yun do this, but the whole Mo family can't!"

"Your Majesty, wait a minute!" The confidant tried to dissuade, "The operation of the Ministry of Industry and the production of weapons in various places are inseparable from the Mo family. If you arrest their suzerain, I'm afraid there will be quite serious consequences... "

"It would be serious if the Jinxia army invaded the capital!?" Ning Weiyuan pushed him away, "If this continues, I think this country will be handed over to Ning Wanjun!"

He thought it was his second brother who betrayed him. Although he was allowed to ascend the throne, he did not have the power of a king of a country.

In the eyes of the officials, he is the emperor of Qiguo; but in the eyes of the alchemists, he is just a puppet who can stabilize the situation.

But now, Ning Weiyuan's thoughts gradually changed.

The third sister obviously came here for revenge, and her power was beyond imagination. The Shangyuan Privy Council, which seemed like a colossus, could not overwhelm Ning Wanjun. If she occupies Gyeonggi, one can imagine what will happen to the other Ning family members. In contrast, the jurisdiction of the Privy Council is not so obtrusive.

He would rather continue to be his own puppet emperor than to be stripped of his dragon robe and hanged under the city gate to show the public.

"Come on, call my Imperial Guard here, I have an important task to entrust to—"

"Your Majesty, if you do this, you will chill the hearts of craftsmen and craftsmen in the world." Suddenly, an old voice interrupted Ning Weiyuan's order.

The emperor's heart sank slightly, he could directly enter his inner palace without notice, and there was no one else except Qixing.

He looked around and saw four or five people walking into the room surrounded by an old woman.

He knew the man standing on the far right. He was also the nominal leader of the Seven Star Army. Yuyi Shuang Wuxue. Most of the rest were high-grade alchemists whose seven stars gathered in Gyeonggi, but this was the first time he had seen this old woman.

But no matter who the opponent is, those who can walk side by side with the feathered alchemist will definitely not be easy to deal with.

Ning Weiyuan could only suppress the unhappiness in his heart, and sat back on his seat, "I wonder if this distinguished guest is..."

"I'm disappointed, I've seen Your Majesty." The other party bowed their hands, and it was considered a salute—obviously, she knew the status of Emperor Qiguo clearly.

Gongshu?

This surname made Ning Weiyuan raise his eyebrows in surprise.

Is this person in front of you the representative of Xu Guo's official family? Judging from her appearance, she is about fifty years old, and her hair is already half gray, but considering that excellent mechanics are usually those who sense energy, maybe this person is even older. It's just that growing older will bring more experience, but it will also make the hands and feet dull and the eyes blurry. The older generation of mechanics usually retreats behind the scenes, and it is really rare for someone like the other party to still fight on the front line.

"The old man came to Gyeonggi originally to visit his old friends, but unexpectedly, the Mo family avoided them. He thought that something happened to them, so he wanted to meet His Majesty in exchange for a charter. Unexpectedly, the pressure came from the royal court." She tapped the ground regularly with her crutches, "In the past, the public losers and the Mohists also had a lot of dealings, especially in the production of some sophisticated mechanisms. Only in prison can we prevent Jinxia City from developing more advanced mechanism creations?"

The old lady's voice was not high, but it was full of the majesty of a superior, and it was difficult for Ning Weiyuan to refute every word, "No, you misunderstood what I meant..."

"How could it be? Isn't it just a girl who ran away from the Mo family? There are more than one or two people who ran away from the public losers, and there are countless people who have spread out." She snorted softly, "Separate out So what, those people can promote the competition of technology in turn, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. If you deal with it like this, I am afraid that all the agency families will not be able to stay."

"But it is a fact that Mo Yun created a large number of new weapons for Jinxia!" Ning Weiyuan said angrily, "Even the Seven Stars can hardly withstand the artillery fire of Jinxia's army! Do you think this is something that Mo Yun invented by himself? She alone People are worth all the Mohists and the public losers?"

"It's just nonsense!" Gong Shuwang suddenly shouted.
