Dongfang Ze sat up straight and clapped his hands. "I'm thinking, are you my seventh brother or not?"

"Why do you say that?"

"In my memory, Seventh Brother has always disdained scheming because he felt that it was a despicable act, but now … Even the person beside my pillow is included. The contrast is huge. "

Dongfang Yi picked up a thin and sparkling rice grain and said lightly, "People change. There's nothing strange about that."

Dongfang Ze sighed. Others might not know this, but he was clear that everything Dongfang Yan had done was for Mu Qianxue. This included going against one's own intentions and stepping on a sinister, devious path!

"Oh right, you said that you have something to discuss with me. What is it?"

Dongfang Zi's voice brought Dongfang Ze back to his senses. He patted his head and said, "Look at my memory. I almost forgot the important matter. Princess told me to invite Seventh Brother over to the mansion."

Dongfang Yi's heart shook when he heard this name. He whispered, "What is it?"

"Xia Yue didn't say it in detail, she only said it was very important. Also, she gave me a list and told me to prepare the things on it as soon as possible. She said it was used to create a tool to transport food."

"Deliver food?" "Didn't the Ministry of Revenue have many carts that were used to transport grain?" Dongfang Gu asked in surprise.

Dongfang Ze shrugged. "Seventh Brother has to ask the princess himself."

Dongfang Qin nodded. After a simple meal, he went with Dongfang Ze to the Mu residence. Xu Li was already waiting at the entrance. When he saw them come over, he quickly greeted them.

Dongfang Yi silently nodded, then stepped all the way across the clean flagstones. The wind blew over, lifting up the corner of his blue robe from time to time.

The moment their eyes met, their hearts trembled. Endless longing surged out uncontrollably from the bottom of their hearts, spreading to each other …

Dongfang Gu forced himself to look away and nonchalantly sat down in the chair. "Princess, why did you call me here so urgently?"

His indifference caused Mu Qianxue to feel slight pain in her heart. She secretly sucked in a breath as she spoke with a calm tone, "Listening to what the Ninth King said, Your Highness intends to lead troops into the southern region, right?"

"He told you everything." Dongfang Zi glanced at Dongfang Ze, who received the tea from Xu Li. He smiled and said, "I was just thinking that Seventh Brother hasn't thought of a foolproof plan yet, and the princess has always been smart, so I wanted Princess to help me think of a way."

"This King has his own ways of dealing with this. There's no need for Princess to worry." No one knew what sort of pain was concealed beneath Dongfang Qing's seemingly cold exterior.

Mu Qianxue bowed from her seat. "Forgive me for being blunt, but given your current situation, your highness only has a thirty percent chance, but I … can increase the probability to seventy percent. "

"Seventy percent?" Even Dongfang Qing, who already knew of Mu Qianxue's talent, couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression when she heard this. It should be known that it had only been two days since the incident in the Southern Wilderness, and yet, Dongfang Kun was already willing to follow Prince Pingyang's lead. Now, she had a thirty percent chance of success, but she actually said seventy percent of it the instant she opened her mouth.

Mu Qianxue nodded and said to Xia Yue, "Bring that thing to the front courtyard."

After Xia Yue had obeyed and left, Mu Qianxue stood up and said, "May the two esteemed princes follow me … Cough cough! " Halfway through her sentence, she covered her mouth and kept coughing. Nineteen held her up and lightly patted her back.

Dongfang Yi clenched her hands tightly. Only after Mu Qianxue stopped coughing did she gradually loosen her grip as she coldly said, "Princess, if you're not feeling well, you should go rest. It won't be too late to talk about it tomorrow."

"It's just that my throat doesn't feel right, that's all." Mu Qianxue tried her best to calm her aura as she continued with what had just been said, "I ask that the two princes follow me to the front courtyard."

When they rushed to the front yard, Xia Yue just happened to come over. What they didn't expect was that Xia Yue actually rode over on an ox. After looking carefully, they discovered that it was a wooden cow made of wood.

When the wooden cow stopped, Dongfang Ze looked around and clicked his tongue in wonder, "He's clearly a fake, but he can actually walk freely. This is truly strange. Could it be that someone is manipulating him inside?"

Xia Yue jumped down from the log and opened the mechanism on her abdomen. Other than a few mechanical poles, the inside was completely empty. She did not see the operator that Dongfang Ze mentioned.

After all, Dongfang Gu had been on the battlefield before, so he was a bit more experienced than Dongfang Ze. He quickly realized the significance of this wooden ox. "You're actually proficient in mechanical arts?"

"I know a little about it, but it's far from enough to make such a mechanism."

"Then where did this come from?" In the midst of Dongfang Gu's doubtful gaze, Mu Qianxue explained the situation regarding Gu Yi Chen in detail. Then, she said, "Every single wooden cow's abdomen is hollow, and can store four to five hundred kilograms of food without eating or sleeping. As long as you are on time and are on time, you will be able to use it to transport your food, greatly reducing the consumption of food and fodder during your journey."

After hearing what she said, Dongfang Ze was overjoyed. He clapped his hands and said, "I understand. The list that the princess gave me previously was used to make wooden cows."

"That's right, I've already agreed with Young Master Gu that as soon as the materials are sent over, he will immediately make ten identical wooden cows for us."

"I have asked the butler to prepare them. They should be able to send some before nightfall." While speaking, Dongfang Ze excitedly observed the mechanism inside the wooden ox's stomach.

After the initial surprise had passed, Dongfang Qin frowned and said, "Although these wooden oxen can alleviate the lack of food and supplies to a certain extent, it's still not enough for His Majesty to favor me. Seventy percent … "That's nonsense."

Mu Qianxue lowered her eyes and said, "Your Highness is right, so I, Qianxue, have prepared a gift for Your Highness."

Before Dongfang Zhi could say anything, Dongfang Ze had already come over with a face full of curiosity. "Could it be that there are other mechanical items?"

"The mechanical skill is indeed very useful, but with Young Master Gu's current attainments, it's not enough to control the battlefield."

His words made Dongfang Ze somewhat disappointed. He casually asked, "What is that?"

Mu Qianxue faintly smiled, as her gaze landed on Nineteen and Xu Li's group. "Have you remembered them all?"

"Yes." Compared to Nineteen's affirmation, Xu Li and the other servant, Ah Xin, were clearly much more hesitant. The former awkwardly said: "I remember you very clearly, but …" The youngsters are only rough with their fists and feet, and have only practiced for half a day.

"No matter, as long as you do as I tell you." Hearing her words, Xu Li and Xu Ruo Rou agreed and took four swords. Each of them had one sword, while the other sword was given to Dongfang Ze. The latter had a strange expression on his face as he asked, "Princess, do you want me to compete with them?"

Mu Qianxue nodded her head and said, "That's right. Nineteen people will be able to control their martial arts to a level similar to Xu Li and Xu Li's. As long as the Duke breaks their defense within an incense's worth of time, or cuts anyone's clothes, this match will be considered my loss."
