Dandu's city guard general Su Mu was full of dissatisfaction, but for the sake of the imperial decree, he couldn't say much.
"Since Princess Ye is here, let's report to the alchemist's mansion."
Ye Lingyue frowned upon hearing this.
She is a smart person, so how could she fail to understand what the other person said.
General Su was right, Princess Ye...not Ye Zhangding.
She is the alchemist in charge of the cauldron personally appointed by the imperial court, but the general guarding the city did not mention any news about the alchemist in charge of the cauldron, nor did he give her a token of the alchemist in charge of the cauldron, and there was no trace of respect in his words , Among them, there must be ghosts.
General Su secretly observed Ye Lingyue's reaction, thinking that Ye Lingyue would explode on the spot, but after she frowned, her face quickly returned to normal.
"Thank you, General, for reminding me. I'll go to the alchemist's mansion to report." Ye Lingyue walked out of the general's mansion politely.
"Send someone to inform the people in the alchemist's mansion, saying that the alchemist in charge of the cauldron sent by the imperial court has arrived." Seeing Ye Lingyue leave, the general waved his hand, and an aide beside him hurried forward.
"But general, hasn't a new alchemist in charge of the tripod been elected in the alchemist mansion, so what should we do with this one?" The staff member didn't understand General Su's intention.
Dandu cannot live without a tripod master alchemist, so after the death of the previous tripod master alchemist, the alchemist mansion in Dandu elected an alchemist to temporarily take the position of tripod master alchemist.
Unexpectedly, at this juncture, the imperial court sent another alchemist in charge of the tripod.
"One mountain cannot contain two tigers, just let me test it out, this Princess Ye from Xiadu is capable." General Su's expression was deep.
In the hands of General Su, there is also a piece of information, which was sent from Xiadu.
He didn't dare to really underestimate Princess Ye. It is said that she almost turned the whole Xia upside down in just over a year.
There are still rumors in Xia Duli that Ye Lingyue is also related to the deposed prince this time.
Relying on the favor of the empress dowager and empress, she was notorious even in Xia.
However, if this favored princess really thinks that Dandu can be as lawless as Xiadu, then she is very wrong.
Dandu is not Xiadu.
The staff member immediately copied the secret path and rushed to the alchemist's mansion.
The Alchemist's Mansion in Danduli is the largest mansion in the entire city, even a little bigger than the General's Mansion.
The Alchemist's Mansion was very luxuriously decorated. The ground was covered with high-quality spirit animal skins, and the walls were inlaid with fist-sized night pearls. It could be seen that the alchemists in Dandu were living a happy life.
According to the information collected by Ye Lingyue earlier, there are nearly a hundred alchemists living in the alchemist mansion in Dandu. Eighty years old, men and women, old and young.
I thought that at this time, when Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai'er walked into the alchemist's mansion, the alchemist's mansion must be full of alchemy, but how could they know that they were greeted by an empty mansion.
None of the alchemists inside were seen, and even the alchemy room was empty.
"Why isn't there even a ghost?" Lan Cai'er looked around, but there wasn't a single alchemist.
"Report to Alchemist Ye, all the alchemists in the mansion are sick." A boy in the alchemist's mansion said guiltily under Lan Caier's staring eyes.
"Sick? Are more than a hundred people sick together?" Ye Lingyue asked lightly.
"If you don't tell the truth again, believe it or not, I'll make you 'sick' too." Lan Cai'er grabbed the boy's hand, making a gesture of breaking his arm bone.
The latter was so frightened, and immediately said everything like beans in a bamboo tube.
After inquiring, Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai'er found out that when they heard that a new alchemist in charge of the tripod came to the court, and the other party was only in his teens, he was a Liuding alchemist. Everyone in the alchemist's mansion heard After hearing the news, everyone became dissatisfied.
They went on strike together under the leadership of Wang Zhangding, the alchemist in charge of the alchemy. It didn't mean that the alchemist's mansion hadn't opened the alchemy furnace for three days.
"Is this the meaning of collective rebellion?" Ye Lingyue laughed instead of anger after hearing this. She never thought that she would encounter such a big difficulty on the first day of her new office.
"Is it really good or bad, Ling Yue, you have to report to the imperial court and let the imperial court deal with this group of lifeless alchemists." Lan Cai'er got angry.
"No, to deal with these alchemists, we must convince them." Ye Lingyue calmly rolled her eyes, and an idea came to her mind.
Ye Lingyue just entered the alchemist's mansion, and the alchemists in the back foot of the alchemist's mansion already knew about it, especially the alchemist Wang who temporarily replaced Ye Lingyue as the alchemist in charge of the tripod.
He is an old alchemist in Dandu. After 20 years of hard work, he finally got an opportunity to act as an agent of the tripod. He thought it would be a matter of course. After a few months, he would be automatically promoted to the post of tripod master. A new palm tripod came over.
If the other party is a master of dragon language or an old senior alchemist like Qiu alchemist, this Wang Zhangding can only bear it.
But the fact is that the person who came was only the apprentice of Master Longyu, and I heard that the other party was only fourteen years old.
The night Wang Zhangding heard about it, he was so depressed that he lost sleep.
Knowing that the other party was about to take office, he simply provoked other alchemists in the alchemist mansion to boycott Ye Lingyue together.
"He came from Xiadu, so what if the emperor personally appointed him? There is no one under him, so I want to see how you lead Dandu." Wang Fangshi lay on his luxurious bed, shaking his legs, unable to speak. comfortable.
But at this moment, there was only a bang and bang.
The roof of the entire alchemist's mansion seemed to be toppled all of a sudden.
It was the sound of a gong, and someone was shouting while the gong was beating.
"It's flooded, it's on fire."
on fire!
In the alchemist's mansion, there are many alchemy tripods, and if you don't pay attention, it is easy to cause a fire.
Wang Zhangding immediately jumped off the bed, didn't even bother to put on his boots, and ran out in a hurry.
There were other alchemists who ran out with him, and everyone ran towards the outside of the alchemist's mansion following the sound of beating gongs and drums.
Unexpectedly, when they ran to the door of the alchemist's mansion, they saw a table and chairs at the door, and a teenage girl sat at the door leisurely.
In her hand, she held a cup of hot tea, and the fragrance of the tea wafted out.
"you!"
As soon as they saw Ye Lingyue, Wang Zhangding and others knew that they had been fooled.
"Hello, my lords. I heard that you are sick. One hundred people are sick together. Feelings, this alchemist mansion has contracted some fatal infectious disease. As the most outstanding alchemists in the court, one by one, even I can't take care of my body well, how can I practice medicine to help the world, I think it's better to retire and go back home to farm." Ye Lingyue looked at these barefoot and disheveled alchemists, her brows were full of sarcasm .
