Chapter 558: Langyue Palace
The Ministry of Works, which was once the most inconspicuous Ministry in the court of Great Xia, has become extremely prominent in the past few decades because of Zhang Junmo.
The Ministry of Industry has a large number of precision instruments, so the precautions are quite strict.
In recent years, because the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War jointly developed various guns and artillery, Xiao Ying continued to strengthen the guard of the Ministry of Industry.
At this time, Qian Qian and Zhang Xiaolian were in the fifth construction room of the Ministry of Industry.
This huge workshop can be said to be exclusively for the Minister of Works. Zhang Junmo, Li Rui and Mo Yanyan also made many weapons that shocked the world here.
Not only did Zhang Xiaolian take over the position of Minister of Works from Zhang Junmo with his outstanding abilities, he also inherited the Fifth Works Room.
When the black shadow flew past her, she quickly ran to the wall and pushed the mechanism.
The whole room was immediately filled with the sound of machinery turning, and the doors and windows were quickly covered with iron mesh.
Qian Qian looked up at the constantly changing houses and exclaimed, "Wow, Tongzi, this is too amazing."
The system didn't have time to respond to the sigh, [The girl is at your ten o'clock direction. ]
Qian Qian immediately took out a hidden weapon from his bag and continuously shot golden needles towards the ten o'clock direction.
The golden needles flashed with golden light and shot out as densely as raindrops.
"Hiss, hiss, ah, ouch..."
A dull female voice was heard, followed by a plop and a dark shadow falling to the ground.
Qian Qian took a step forward but was stopped by Zhang Xiaolian, "Mrs. Xiao, please be careful."
"It's okay," Qian Qian patted her hand, "Here," Yang Yang held the exquisite hidden weapon in his hand, "they are all tempered with anesthetics made by Ouyang Nanxin."
"Not to mention a little girl, even ten cows can handle it."
Zhang Xiaolian felt at ease when she saw the old man's snow-white hair, delicate and gentle face, and wise and beautiful eyes.
Qian Qian approached the little girl and looked at the little person who was limp all over but still trying to struggle.
[Tongzi, who is this girl? ]
[Looking at this body shape, he is probably around 13 or 14 years old? 】
[Hehe,] The system sneered, [Qianqian, before talking about this little girl, we have to talk about Xinyuan’s current status in Daxia.]
Qian Qian nodded, pried open the little girl's completely powerless hands, took out the core source and threw it to Zhang Xiaolian.
Zhang Xiaolian smiled with her eyes curved, and secret guards came to support her from outside the fortification room.
Qian Qian smiled at her and said, "Go and tell the secret guards what to do. I will take care of this girl."
"Yes."
Zhang Xiaolian carefully put away the core source and closed the mechanism in the fortification room.
Qian Qian looked at the little girl in a black nightgown and reached out to pull off her veil.
A round little face with an angry look and big black eyes staring at Qian Qian fiercely.
Qianqian looked like a cute little kitten, and couldn't help but laugh, "Tongzi, what is Xinyuan's current status in Daxia?"
[That is a divine artifact,] the system said, [Daxia officials, clans, gentry, and even martial arts sects, etc.]
[As long as a certain group has a core source, they will be able to gain the right to speak. ]
[Their status in their respective fields will surely rise and become unrivaled. ]
[However, Ying'er is very strict in controlling the core resources. Now 90% of Daxia's core resources are used in the imperial court's warships, aircraft, submarines or six-wheeled vehicles.]
[The remaining 8% are the ones you sent out before, but the court is keeping the information about these people strictly protected.]
[The remaining 2% are the core sources that have been lost due to various reasons. ]
[The core sources that are scattered around are not very big, and there are about a dozen of them scattered everywhere.]
[That’s right,] Qianqian nodded, [The core source is so precious.]
[Yes,] the system said, [Do you still remember Zhang Tianzhen's mobile home that uses core energy as energy?]
[After Zhang Tianzhen left, Xiao Lu sent people to take the house back to the court.]
[But at that time, some residents of the snowy mountains saw the house, so the Xinyuan was almost a myth among the people. ]
Qian Qian frowned slightly, [Tongzi, do we need to intervene in this matter? ]
The system considered, [Not necessary for now, the core source will play a big role in the future history of Daxia. ]
Qian Qian nodded, and the system continued, [This girl is called Jiuer, and she was adopted by the Jianghu sect Langyue Palace since she was a child.]
[What she learned in Langyue Palace were all kinds of sneaky skills. The little girl had a very hard childhood.]
[Originally, this little girl had secretly left Langyue Palace and was ready to live alone. ]
[But in a small village, I met a three-year-old girl whose parents were both dead. ]
[The uncles of the child's family coveted the girl's property and planned to kill the child.]
[Jiu'er happened to meet and rescue her. Jiu'er saw that the little girl was cute and got close to her. ]
[After much deliberation, he decided to adopt the little girl, but it was this little girl that caused Jiuer to be found by Langyue Palace again. ]
[Langyue Palace captured the little girl and asked Jiuer to come to the Ministry of Industry to steal the core source in exchange.]
Qian Qian sighed softly as he looked at Jiu Er who looked angry, and reached out to push her hair away from her forehead, "Poor girl."
Jiuer paused with a vigilant expression.
The system said again, [She is indeed pitiful. ]
[She didn't know that the little girl was actually the daughter of the Palace Master of Langyue Palace.]
[After Jiuer left Langyue Palace, everything that happened to her was planned by Langyue Palace. ]
Money money...
He lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, looking at Jiuer with sympathy.
She took out a small pill and stuffed it into Jiuer's mouth to help her regain some strength, "Little girl."
Jiuer finally recovered her strength and wanted to escape immediately, but her body was still weak when she exerted force.
She looked at the white-haired woman in front of her in horror, "What are you going to do?"
Qian Qian smiled, "What does Lang Yue Palace want to do with Xin Yuan?"
When Jiuer heard the word Langyue Palace, her face turned pale and blue.
She sat up with difficulty, and looked at the person in front of her with a coldness that was not appropriate for her age.
"How do you know that?"
Qian Qian curled her lips, "I know you are from Langyue Palace, and I also know that you were tricked back by them after you escaped."
"Also, the little Qiao Qiao you met is the youngest daughter of the Palace Master of Langyue Palace."
"You are talking nonsense," Jiu'er's face flushed with excitement, "You are talking nonsense."
Qianqian stared into Jiuer's eyes, facing her hurt eyes.
"Silly girl," he rubbed the little girl's head, "from now on, you will follow me."
Jiuer instinctively wanted to refuse, but her body wouldn't allow it.
Qian Qian then asked the system, [Tongzi, isn't Langyue Palace a martial arts sect? ]
[They just want to pursue the ultimate martial arts, what do they need the core source for? ]
The system was silent for a long time this time. [Heh, Langyue Palace has built a very powerful cannon.]
[That cannon is more powerful and has a longer range than the most powerful cannon in the Ministry of Industry.]
[If it is driven by a core source, the cannon will only be more powerful. ]
Qian Qian narrowed his eyes, [A martial arts sect built a cannon, is this a rebellion? ]
[Yes,] the system said very naturally, [Langyue Palace thinks that Daxia has two empresses.]
[Any more would be disrespectful to men.]
He sneered, "Haha, although most of the people in Langyue Palace are women."
Qian Qian opened her mouth to ask something else, but then she heard hurried footsteps, "Madam Xiao."
This was the secret guard Xiao Ying had assigned to her. "Madam Xiao," the secret guard knelt on one knee, "Your Majesty has been assassinated. Please return to the palace as soon as possible."
