...

"Be careful!" Several young maids carefully supported Chen Xu from the kang, walked slowly to the stove and sat down. They were wrapped in thick leather mattresses, like a terminally ill old man.

Since he was confused and used immortal arts to save Wang Qingxiu, a serious illness almost killed him. He lay on the kang for seven or eight days before he slowly recovered.

Although I was able to walk off the kang today, my legs were still as soft and weak as if I was stepping on cotton, and my face looked extremely decadent.

"My benefactor, you are too reckless in this matter. Why do you have to try your best to save a terminally ill woman? Life and death have fate. You should not force yourself to go against the will of heaven!" Yu Wuya didn't know the truth, and he really thought that Chen Xu used some taboo magic to cause him to be infected.

Chen Xu was so amused that he was so funny that he was just taking a nap in Princess Qingning's bedroom. It was actually said that it was like this. At the same time, he was worried as if he was a mess. Could it be that there was really a god possessed him to help him save Wang Qingxiu? Otherwise, I really couldn't explain this matter, and I couldn't remember at all. What did he do in Wang Qingxiu's bedroom at that time?

To figure out this matter, it seems that there is only a chance to ask the twins, the little luoli, or Wang Qingxiu himself.

After sitting by the stove and drinking the medicine and resting for a while, Chen Xu arranged for someone to find Zhao Qing and asked in detail about the recent iron smelting and construction of each county, and then his mood suddenly improved a lot.

According to the news from various counties, whether it is iron smelting or making weapons, including saddles and stirrups, the progress is very smooth now, especially in Nanyang, because it is Chen Xu's old nest, and Fan Yang knew some of the plans revealed by Chen Xu in advance, as well as the full cooperation of the county magistrate Jiangbeiting and the county magistrate Gao Yong, so the progress is the fastest. At present, the two iron smelting workshops in Luyang and Wuyang have been on the right track. More than a dozen iron smelting furnaces are constantly smelting day and night, and nearly two hundred craftsmen and thousands of helpers have been recruited. With sufficient coal and iron ore, it is reported from the previous two days ago.

According to the news, nowadays, thousands of kilograms of qualified steel are produced every day, dozens of weapons and hundreds of pairs of stirrups and horseshoes are created. The workshops for making saddles have also begun mass production, and fifty or sixty pairs of saddles are produced every day. Therefore, from winter to the end of February next year, Nanyang alone can almost complete more than half of the 10,000 sets of equipment. Other counties are much slower, but they have also begun to produce qualified equipment. According to the information collected by Zhao Qing, this time, the strategy of laying eggs with chickens can complete the predetermined target on time, quality and quantity, and there will be even extra.

"Mr. Marquis, I didn't expect that your incredible plan would be successful!" Zhao Qing said excitedly.

"Well, success is inevitable. This is the essence of business. As the saying goes, money can make the devil push the mill. As long as the merchants have enough benefits, they will rush to do business even if the underworld and the King of Hell do business, let alone such a purely money-picking business!" Chen Xu closed the account book and said with a smile.

"Marty, where is the underworld in the underworld? Who is the King of Hell? Why does his subordinates sound deeply dark!" Zhao Qing asked in confusion.

"The underworld is the place where ghosts live, commonly known as the underworld. It is different from the realm where mortals live and the heaven where gods live. There are emperors in the mortal world, and there are emperors in the underworld. The King of Hell is the emperor who manages the underworld. He controls three magical tools, one is the book of life and death, one is the tower of reincarnation, the six paths of reincarnation, and the third is the eighteenth level of hell, which is used to suppress and punish the extremely evil people. As the saying goes, the King of Hell will make people die in the third update, and no one can live until the fifth update..."

Zhao Qing was stunned when he heard this. After Chen Xu finished speaking for a long time, he came back to his senses. He looked at Chen Xu in horror as if he was upside down. "Hao...Master, these... are all..."

"Oh, by the way, these are all secrets. Don't spread the word outside, so as not to cause panic in the world!" Chen Xu said with a serious expression.

"Subordinate... I know, I will never talk nonsense!" Zhao Qing's cold sweat on his forehead looked pale.

In this era of believing in ghosts and gods, any topic that is contaminated by gods and ghosts will make people feel nervous.

The identity of Chen Xuxian disciples is now becoming more and more recognized.

A few days ago, he used the celestial magic to save Princess Qingning and was unconscious. When someone was lifted out of Princess Qingning's bedroom, he was covered in blood. Although he heard the two little maids that it was Qinghe Hou who used the magic technique, after asking in detail, the two little maids kept silent and didn't say anything. Moreover, no one dared to ask too much, and could only make up for it. Therefore, the news from Xu Fu and a group of imperial physicians was that the Marquis used the super-Yang immortal technique to open up the meridians and regain the soul of Princess Qingning. Then this incident became more and more fierce among the people. Some people said that on that day, there was a fairy light floating on the palace, and the sound of fairy music was faintly heard.

Damn, after hearing this legend, Chen Xu deliberately fell into a coma and lay down for two more days.

In front of him, the waking up Queen Qinghe said the even more incredible three realms of human, god, ghost, and the secrets that had never been heard before must only be known by the immortal disciples, otherwise why there is a magical tool like the Life and Death Book that controls the life and death of mortals.

Zhao Qing left the Hou's Mansion in a daze with a stack of information in his arms.

When I returned to the office of the Academy of Sciences, my mind was still buzzing, and my soul was so confused that I was already out of my mind. I sat blankly at the desk like a wooden carving.

"Report~" An imperial guard rushed over and woke Zhao Qing up, "Mr. Zhao, Your Majesty promises you to quickly enter the palace to report on the construction of new pawns!"

"Oh~, OK!" Zhao Qing quickly picked up the stack of information that Chen Xu had just watched again, and entered the palace with the eunuch who had sent the order.

As the emperor's close attendant, Zhao Qing has the right to go directly to the palace to participate in the report. Since Chen Xu returned to his house to recuperate in serious illness, he has to contact the Academy of Sciences and the construction site for all matters. Therefore, he has to go to the palace to report the latest progress in equipment construction almost every day.

The emperor is most anxious about this matter.

Qin Shihuang was sitting on the warm couch drinking tea and watching the memorials. When he saw Zhao Qing walking in with a distracted look, his eyes almost without focus and he did not salute. He woke up until he hit the pillar.

"Shi Shi Zhao, why are you so depressed today?" Qin Shihuang put down the memorial in surprise.

"Your Majesty forgive me. I have just returned from the Qinghe Marquis' Mansion and I am still a little uneasy!" Zhao Qing hurriedly saluted in a little panic.

"Oh, how is Qinghe Hou's condition?" Qin Shihuang asked quickly.

"When you go back to your Majesty, the Queen of Qinghe has been much better today and has been able to walk down the ground. Because I am concerned about the construction of the Academy of Sciences and the pawn equipment, I specially summoned me to the mansion for detailed inquiries!"

"Okay, it's good that the Qinghe Hou will recover!" Qin Shihuang also breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked with a slightly strange expression, "What did the Qinghe Hou say to you? Why are you restless?"

"I... said I dare not say it!" Zhao Qing hesitated and bowed, then looked at Qin Shihuang with an expression of glaring at you if I didn't say it, so he said bitterly, "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't say it, but that the Hou Qinghe Hou should not tell it to others. I am afraid that the secret of heaven will make Hou Qinghe not happy!"

The more Zhao Qing said this, the more interested Qin Shihuang was. It seemed as if several cats were scratching their claws in his heart. Looking at Zhao Qing's bitter expression, Qin Shihuang's face relaxed slightly and said, "I am the emperor, not an ordinary person, but it's okay to say it. If it is indeed contaminated with the secrets of heaven, I will never say it out!"

Zhao Qing:...

In the end, Zhao Qing still did not withstand the oppression of Qin Shihuang's dragon power. After persisting for a few seconds, his soul completely collapsed. He stuttered and told Chen Xu about the three realms of human, god, ghost and three magical artifacts of the King of Hell.

"The King of Hell lets death in the third update, but no one can live until the fifth update..."

After hearing this, Qin Shihuang's face turned a little gray, and his beard and eyebrows kept shaking gently. It was obvious that he was very frightened inside. His expression looked similar to what Zhao Qing looked like after listening to it.

After Zhao Qing finished speaking in one breath, he seemed to be in a much better mood.

It is much easier for someone to share this mental pressure than keeping a secret by one person. And even if the secret is leaked, the emperor now knows that if the King of Hell or the gods blame him, the emperor will help him share the burden, and then the Marquis of Qinghe will not be saved by death.

"What else did the Queen Qinghe say?" It took three or four minutes before Qin Shihuang slowly came to his senses. Although his face was still ugly, his emotions were much calmer than Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing shook his head: "Your Majesty, this is what the Queen Qinghe said accidentally. When he saw me asking, he said a few words, just reminding me not to spread the word, so as not to cause panic in the world!"

"Well, what Qinghehou said is that this matter is indeed a secret of heaven, so don't tell me the truth!" Qin Shihuang nodded with a serious expression.

"I will definitely keep my mouth shut!" Zhao Qing answered nervously.

Next, Qin Shihuang asked in detail about the construction of the pawn equipment, and felt very satisfied with the progress, so he waved his hand to let Zhao Qing leave, then sat quietly with his beard for a while, and then ordered the guards to prepare the carriage and horse.

"Oh, that would be great if there were pencils!"

Chen Xu sat on the warm kang in the living room. On the table in front of him was a stack of flat white bamboo pulp paper and various messy tools. He was holding a wooden triangle plate and a very thin graphite strip. He was slowly drawing a monocular glasses on a piece of paper. However, the stone grinding strips were very soft and easy to break. Not only did they make their hands completely black and dirty, but the lines drawn on the paper were also uneven in thickness. Therefore, the figures were also a bit terrible. I couldn't help but sigh while drawing.

"Mr. Marquis, hurry up... go out to greet him!" Huangfu Que, the manager, angrily pushed open the door of the room and rushed in.

"Who has such a great face?" Chen Xu asked without raising his head.

"Yes... it's Your Majesty!" Huangfu Que said anxiously.

Uh! Chen Xu's hand shook, and a piece of graphite was crushed and a piece of toner was stained on the paper on his hand.
Chapter completed!
