Tongtong has been playing outside, grabbing some stones and other things, and jumping around.
Xi'er stood at the door obediently, looking at Tongtong from time to time. Children were naughty and would accidentally drop or touch something, so she kept it in mind.
Sure enough, Tongtong suddenly became interested in a butterfly and flew forward to chase it, but did not see a big stone under his feet. Xi'er had sharp eyes and ran over quickly and hugged her: "Oh, my little ancestor, You have to be careful, how about it, did you bump into it?"
Xi'er held Tongtong tightly in her arms, but asked her if she had bumped.
Tongtong looked at her with big watery eyes, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head.
"It's okay." Xi'er put her down, stood up, and was about to return to stand guard outside the laboratory room, but the little Tongtong grabbed her trouser leg.
"What? Are you still busy?"
Xi'er lowered his head and met Tongtong's eyes.
Tongtong looked at her and then at the laboratory, seeming very curious.
Xi'er rubbed her forehead and said, "The adults are talking about something. You, a child, are curious about something. Go and play."
Tongtong looked at her, nodded heavily, and sure enough, he let go of Xi'er and went to play by himself.
…
After Fu Tingye came back, he also had to deal with a lot of important military matters.
Hai Shixuan sorted out the key things that happened in the court during this period and reported them to him. Fu Tingye listened indifferently, but there was only one person, so he raised it: "You said that the emperor has not been in court for a long time?"
Hai Shixuan nodded: "Yes, although I have not gone to court during this period, our military officers who are officials in the same court can confirm that Li Jingnan has not been to court since the last time he escaped with his wife and you and returned to the palace. I heard that he is feeling unwell and has been resting in the Imperial Study Room."
"Imperial Study Room? Are you serious?" Fu Tingye's brows flashed a sharp edge. He intuitively did not believe that the Queen Mother would let Li Jingnan stay in the Imperial Study Room. However, on the surface, he could not fault anything.
Hai Shixuan nodded: "Yes, our informants in the imperial army reported that the imperial study room is heavily guarded and is guarded by Zheng Sheng's people. Our people cannot be detected at all."
How could that old witch Queen Mother do such a trick? Aren't you afraid that her biological son will completely fall out with her
Fu Tingye paused and looked at Hai Shixuan: "Let's not mention this matter now. We can let Wu Zhuo explore it later. Is there any other important information during this period?"
Haishixuan flipped through his military aircraft book and shook his head: "No more, but..."
When he saw the last line of Xiao Han's name, he became inexplicably nervous. This was a lightning point. I wonder if the general would suddenly become furious and then give him a slap in the face to vent his anger...
Haishixuan has now become a soldier, and he always feels that getting hit will eventually fall on him, no matter whether the reason is right or not. It is as if God has given him a directional indicator.
Fu Tingye couldn't stand his hesitation, and suddenly became impatient: "Speak quickly!"
Hai Shixuan felt a thrill in his body: "Yes, General, it's actually nothing. It's still a good situation for us. It's just that Xiao Han hurried back to Qi this time, seemingly to compete with his brother for the crown prince position."
Fu Tingye's sharp eyebrows moved, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a dangerous light swept across: "He can't even handle such a small thing as sending an envoy to Qi to capture Si Bing's wife. Do you think Emperor Liao will give him a chance?"
Hai Shixuan has a dull head and is very afraid of using his brain. He can only look at one or two steps for many things. If he takes a little more, he will be completely confused. Therefore, when Fu Tingye said this sentence, he did not see it. So profound.
He could only quickly agree with Fu Tingye: "Yes, yes, a general is a general, and he really sees a much longer term than I do."
Fu Tingye withdrew his dangerous eyes, but couldn't help but glare at him coldly.
Haishixuan immediately understood that his flattery had been slapped on the horse's hoof again. He looked at his nose and his heart with a guilty conscience, and did not dare to say any more nonsense.
"roll."
Qin Laowu came to Fu Tingye's place early in the morning to receive errands. As soon as he entered the door, he heard the general getting angry. The next moment, Hai Shixuan rolled out with his buttocks between his legs, looking very embarrassed.
"Is this kid making the general angry again? How about I beat him up for the general?!" Qin Laowu was immediately filled with indignation. The more he looked at Hai Shixuan recently, the more he disliked him, and he could still vaguely hear him in the army. There's a lot of gossip, between me and that cousin... Tsk, tut, tut, don't mention it.
"No need!" Although Fu Tingye said this, his tone was not the same.
Qin Laowu also immediately became cautious, fearing that he would make a small mistake and make Fu Tingye even more angry.
As Qin Laowu grew up, he was most afraid of two people. One was the dominatrix in his family, and the other was Fu Tingye in front of him.
The dominatrix will get angry at every turn, and he doesn't know the reason at all but can only keep apologizing to calm it down; while Fu Tingye, you never know when he will get angry, and it feels like the weather will change at any time, making it difficult to guard against.
For example, at this moment, Qin Laowu felt that he smelled the smell of gunpowder, and immediately acted wisely to protect himself.
"I called you here to ask you whether there was any progress in the capture of the assassin's water-marked knife by the Hou Mansion last time?" Fu Tingye's tone returned to a can of indifference and calmness.
"Not yet." Qin Laowu answered truthfully: "There were some clues some time ago, but the other party seems to have completely disappeared during this time, and our clues are broken."
"Didn't you suspect that it was Prince Ning who was arranging troops first?" Fu Tingye looked up at him.
Qin Laowu didn't dare to hide it: "I was suspicious at first, but my subordinates checked carefully and sent people to Ning Prince's Mansion for secret inspections. There are no capable people in Ning Prince's Mansion, and that kind of knife has never appeared in his mansion. Yes, so we can conclude that those assassins are definitely not Prince Ning’s people.”
"If he's not from Prince Ning, then who is so eager to kidnap Hua Qingxue?" Fu Tingye asked quietly,
In an instant, the answer was ready to come out.
"Liao!"
"Xiao Han!"
The two of them guessed the answer in unison.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the whole room became strange.
A bad premonition came to Fu Tingye's mind. He sat quietly, reached out and touched the table, and pondered slightly.
"But how could the thieves of the Liao Kingdom make such sophisticated swords?" Qin Lao Wubai was puzzled: "It's impossible. We have fought against them on the battlefield for many years. How can their skills be compared with ours? , and now that we have Si Bing’s wife controlling us, there is absolutely no reason why we should be inferior to others in terms of craftsmanship.”
Qin Laowu's analysis was not unreasonable, and even Fu Tingye began to doubt it. From this point of view, Liao Kingdom was also impossible.
So what other forces would take action in Shengjing City at that time
…
In the laboratory, Su Shaowen finally spoke hesitantly about the biggest concern he and Liang Wensheng had discovered during this period.
"Master, my senior brother and I discovered that spies not only exist, but have been stealing our things. When my senior brother and I carefully searched for the hot air balloon manuscript papers, we discovered that not only that, many manuscript papers were also missing."
What? !
Hua Qingxue was really surprised and speechless now.
"Where are those two physical and chemical manuals?!" Hua Qingxue immediately thought of the masterpiece that she had spent so much effort copying and pasting from the chip. She really couldn't imagine what serious consequences it would have if those two books were thrown away.
"That's not true! Master, don't worry, these two books are kept by my senior brother alone. Even I don't know the exact location where my senior brother placed them. Only when I need to read them, my senior brother will take them out and share them with me. But every time I read them, They are all returned to senior brother properly." Su Shaowen quickly replied to avoid Hua Qingxue from worrying too much.
Liang Wensheng also quickly said to the side: "Master, don't worry, these two brochures are still there. It seems that the spy is not targeting these two brochures, but some of our manuscript papers. Sometimes my junior brother and I will draw some manuscript papers of the things we are developing. When I came out, all I was throwing away were these papers."
"Yes, in fact, I drew everything on the manuscript paper based on my personal habits. If the thief really took it, he might not be able to see clearly what it was."
"So, this thief must be a stupid thief." Su Shaowen guessed.
Hua Qingxue felt relieved when she heard that the two booklets were not lost, but dealing with this kind of thing was not her strong point.
In that world, after all, she studied weapons manufacturing and was not an FBI detective.
"Let this be the case for now. You two should be careful not to reveal any rumors. Everything is business as usual." Hua Qingxue collected her thoughts and continued: "Then I will discuss it with Fu Tingye and let him come up with a solution for us."
"Yes, master, the general is so resourceful and shrewd. If he takes action, he will surely capture the thief."
Hua Qingxue's proposal received strong support from the two apprentices.
"Well, let's not talk about it for now." Su Shaowen finally gave away the baggage. He felt much more relaxed and quickly pulled Hua Qingxue to his test bench: "Master, look at this. It’s my trophy during this period. Even though you’re not here, I’ve been working very hard, right, senior brother.”
After getting down to business, he was eager to take credit. Liang Wensheng couldn't stand his junior brother.
Hua Qingxue smiled. After her eyes fell, she could no longer lift them up. She saw that a complete set of distillation and purification equipment she needed had been placed on the test bench!
"Wow! Su Shaowen, you are really great!" Hua Qingxue couldn't help but stick out her thumb: "This is the device I want."
Taking a closer look, the beakers, glass bottles, distillation tubes, etc., weren't exactly replicas of the equipment she used in the school's laboratory.
That would be great!
With the distillation and purification device, the new weapons promised to Li Jingnan can be quickly put on the agenda.
Li Jingnan will definitely be happy!
Suddenly thinking of Li Jingnan, Hua Qingxue was slightly worried. She didn't know if he was living well in the palace now, or if the gap between him and the Queen Mother had been eliminated.
"What's wrong, master?" Su Shaowen couldn't help but ask, sensing her mood suddenly turning from sunny to gloomy.
