Chapter 228: Don't waste food! (Please subscribe and vote)
Seeing Zhan Doudou lowering his head to smell it, Haitang Duoduo was startled, and she swung her arm, leaving a shadow, and snatched the booklet back.

"This book has been soaked in water, so the handwriting is a little blurry. I'll copy it again and give it to you."

"Hey, I haven't finished reading it yet!" Seeing Haitang Duoduo put the book away again, Zhan Doudou suddenly became anxious.

He reached out and reached into Haitang Duoduo's collar.

It’s no wonder that she is so anxious. The contents of this book are really too important for Northern Qi.

If the contents in the booklet are true, Northern Qi can use it to establish its own inner treasury.

You have to know that more than 20 years ago, there was actually not much difference in national strength between Northern Qi and Southern Qing.

It was not until a woman named Ye Qingmei established an inner treasury in Nanqing that she began to produce a variety of extremely novel and useful goods.

From that time on, the gap between Qi and Qing began to widen little by little.

Until now, the superficial peace has been barely maintained thanks to the mutual restraint between several grand masters.

Therefore, facing the internal treasury technology that the Zhan royal family and Northern Qi had coveted for many years, Zhan Doudou really couldn't remain calm.

If Northern Qi also mastered these technologies and techniques, it would no longer have to suffer from Southern Qing's bloodsucking and constraints.

By trading these goods, we can also snatch a big piece of meat from Nanqing's mouth.

It will not only affect the treasury revenue of Nanqing, but also greatly enhance the finances of Northern Qi.

Zhan Doudou couldn't help but be anxious.

"You don't have to read it all, you just need to confirm that what is recorded here is true." Haitang Duoduo's figure flashed and she easily dodged Zhan Doudou's hand.

Facing Haitang Duoduo, who possesses strength above the ninth rank, Zhan Doudou knows very well that it is impossible for him to get the book back from her if she is unwilling.

He could only stop his futile actions and said helplessly: "I only looked at it once, how can I tell whether it is true or false?"

"At least give me the booklet so I can find someone to verify it!"

When Haitang Duoduo heard this, she realized that this was indeed the case, so she picked out a few pages from the book that were not stained by water and tore them off.

"Here, this is for you. The manufacturing process of white sugar."

Zhan Doudou immediately took the pages of paper with a smile on his face, and read them carefully, word by word and picture by picture.

The paper not only describes the specific manufacturing process, but also simply describes the principles involved in it in easy-to-understand words.

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

"The person who wrote this booklet is truly a genius!" After reading a few pages in his hand, Zhan Doudou felt that he had completely mastered this technology.

"With such a great talent, it's not too much to give him a child, right?"

"But. Hmm?" Zhan Doudou, who was about to blurt out the word "fen", stopped himself in time.

He looked at Haitang Duoduo with a look of reproach, who had come close to him at some point.

"What kind of magic potion did Mu Sheng give you to make you act like a procuress and act like a matchmaker for him?"

"I'm the madam, then what are you? Our top girl Doudou?" Haitang Duoduo lifted Zhan Doudou's chin with her index finger and said teasingly.

"You Haitang Duoduo, you are different now that you have a lover! You are becoming more and more outrageous in your words. Let me show you how I will deal with you."

As Zhan Doudou said this, he pounced on Haitang Duoduo and kept kneading her body.

The two of them started chasing and playing in the Yangxin Palace.

While playing, Zhan Doudou was also amazed at the physical and mental changes of his friend.

In the past, Haitang Duoduo was very free and unrestrained, and did not care about rules and etiquette.

But I have never heard her make such a dirty joke.

But now.
And she didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that Haitang Duoduo’s little bloated breasts seemed to be even more serious.

This made Zhan Doudou more interested in Mu Sheng mentioned by Haitang Duoduo.

What kind of charm does this person have that can make his best friend, the Holy Maiden of Northern Qi, and the disciple of a grandmaster become like this?

Afterwards, the two of them talked about business again.

However, what Haitang Duoduo mentioned was too shocking, and Zhan Doudou was unable to make a decision. He could only send someone to invite the Queen Mother of Northern Qi to come.

It was not until noon, when the sun was setting, that Haitang Duoduo walked out of the Yangxin Palace with a satisfied look on her face.

Inside the palace.

Zhan Doudou took off her crown and changed into casual clothes, and the Queen Mother of Northern Qi sat on a chair sipping tea with her arms trembling slightly.

There is a feeling of dreaming.

"Mother, do you think what Duoduo said is true? Is Mu Sheng really a grandmaster?"

Zhan Doudou still found it a little unbelievable that the situation of the four great masters in the world checking and balancing each other had lasted for many years.

It is hard to believe that a new grandmaster suddenly appeared without any notice.

But what about the processes and technologies provided by the other party?

Although no one has been asked to verify it yet, Zhan Doudou and the Queen Mother of Northern Qi both had a feeling that it was true after reading the above content.

Moreover, Northern Qi also has its own grandmasters. You will know whether you have the strength of a grandmaster after a test.

Zhan Doudou couldn't think of any reason why the other party would lie.

But if this is true, it also makes Zhan Doudou feel unbelievable.

She was playing the role of the emperor well, and suddenly a grandmaster appeared and wanted to have a baby with her. Anyone would think she was dreaming.

"So, the entanglement is that smoke is coming out of my Zhan family's ancestral grave?"

"Or was it that the Nanqing Li family's ancestral grave was splashed with manure?"

"Your Majesty, I find it as unbelievable as you do. But whether this matter is true or not, it is a good thing for us!"

The Queen Mother of Northern Qi said this with a hint of meaning, and Zhan Doudou quickly understood what she meant.

In any case, these techniques and technologies are most likely true.

Well, if this person is really a grandmaster, then they in Northern Qi will have one more grandmaster in charge, and the situation of confrontation with Southern Qing will be very different.

If it is fake, then even if Mu Sheng's strength is above the ninth rank, Northern Qi still has many ways to subdue him.

No matter how you look at it, they have nothing to lose.

The worst case scenario is that Mu Sheng is indeed a grandmaster, but he wants to turn the tables and control Northern Qi in this way.

But even so, cooperation is their best option.

After all, it is better to face a grandmaster who uses political tactics than a grandmaster who uses force.

Moreover, they have the support of Grand Master Ku He behind them. As long as the child of Mu Sheng and Zhan Doudou inherits the throne in the end, there will be no loss for them.

"I will send someone to invite Master Ku He to the capital. Your Majesty, the most important thing for you now is to confirm the authenticity of those crafts and techniques."

"And we must make follow-up preparations in advance. Such huge benefits will definitely attract the attention of various forces." The Queen Mother of Northern Qi said quietly.

At this moment, she actually hoped that Mu Sheng was really a grandmaster, so that she could use his power to wipe out these termites.

"My son understands!"

a few days later.

In a villa outside Shangjing City.

"It's done, it's really done!"

“I didn’t expect these techniques to actually work.”

Looking at the snow-white sugar in the jar, the faces of several craftsmen were filled with excitement and joy.

Soon, an old eunuch with white hair and beard left the courtyard carrying the jar and headed straight for the city.

Then he passed through the streets and alleys and finally disappeared inside the palace gate. At the same time, the messenger of the Queen Mother of Northern Qi also arrived at the place where Grand Master Ku He was practicing in seclusion after a few days of galloping.

"A great master whose origins are unknown." After reading the letter in his hand, Ku He murmured inexplicably, "Is it a temple?"

Then his figure flashed and quickly disappeared from the spot.

On the streets of the market.

Mu Sheng was holding two steamed buns in one hand and a spoon in the other, feasting on a wonton at a wonton stall.

After morning exercise, Haitang Duoduo disappeared.

Mu Sheng strolled out alone, shopping and eating along the way. This wonton stall was the seventh one he had eaten at.

"Ok?"

After swallowing a wonton in one bite, Mu Sheng's brows suddenly frowned, as if he ate too fast and got burned by the wonton.

Then he continued eating as if nothing had happened.

And on several streets around where he was, many Jinyiwei guards dressed in brocade clothes and with standard swords hanging from their waists gathered together at some point in time.

There were even several teams of archers that appeared behind the team.

"Sir, it has been confirmed that the target is now alone." A captain of the Jinyiwei reported to Shen Zhong:

"In addition, the Saint Lady also entered the palace early in the morning. Based on our observations over the past few days, the Saint Lady will not leave the palace before noon."

"Okay!" Shen Zhong said in a deep voice, "According to the plan."

"Yes!"

Soon, hundreds of Jinyiwei began to surround Mu Sheng's location.

Swish swish!
The noise of the large number of people marching frightened the nearby vendors and pedestrians so much that they dared not make a sound.

They panicked and hid in the shops on both sides of the street, watching the fully armed Jinyiwei army marching out, secretly complaining and gossiping about what big thing had happened.

Bang!

Seeing his stall surrounded by the murderous Jinyiwei, the vendor was immediately scared to death.

He quickly lay down under the table and dared not show his head.

Mu Sheng ate his breakfast leisurely, taking a bite of steamed buns and a bite of wontons.

It seemed as if he hadn't noticed that he was surrounded.

"Jinyiwei, we now suspect that you are related to the proton case half a month ago. Come with us!"

A guard came up with a few of his men and shouted at Mu Sheng.

"Get away from me before I finish this bowl of wontons, and I'll spare your lives," Mu Sheng said in a flat tone.

He looked as if he didn't take these Jinyiwei seriously at all.

This arrogant attitude also angered the Jinyiwei.

The captain of the Imperial Guard snorted coldly and signaled to several of his men with his eyes.

Several Jinyiwei captains immediately strode forward, grabbed the table on which Mu Sheng was eating, raised their hands and flipped it over, intending to smash the table on Mu Sheng.

However, the next second, a white light flashed by. The table did not move at all, but the arms of several Jinyiwei fell to the ground.

The strange thing is that there was no blood flowing out of the wound.

"You deserve to be beaten for wasting food!" Mu Sheng said coldly.

"what"

"what"

Only then did several Jinyiwei realize that their arms were broken. The piercing cold and pain instantly transmitted from the broken arms to their brains.

He immediately cried out in pain, holding his broken arm.

Shen Zhong, who was standing behind, saw Mu Sheng attack without hesitation, his expression turned cold, and he said sternly: "You still dare to resist, you are indeed a traitor, come on, catch this thief!"

Several eighth-rank masters, hundreds of well-equipped guards, and archers.

In such narrow streets and alleys, even a ninth-rank cultivator would only struggle for a while.

Following his order, the Jinyiwei who had been prepared immediately stepped forward.

Under the leadership of several eighth-grade masters, they launched an attack on Mu Sheng.

With such a lineup, not to mention the ninth rank, even those above the ninth rank will not be able to get away with it.

Unless you are a grandmaster, your personal strength will never be able to defeat the power of the army.

"kill!"

"kill!"

Several eighth-rank Jinyi guards showed no mercy when they attacked, all aiming at Mu Sheng's vital points.

Those who don’t know would think that the order they received was to kill, not capture.

"It's not good to waste food!" Mu Sheng muttered.

He casually slapped the chopstick holder on the table, and dozens of wooden chopsticks flew out like sharp swords.

Like a sparse fishing net, it enveloped the besieging Jinyiwei.

puff!puff!puff!
The leather armor and protective gear of these Jinyiwei were easily penetrated by the fragile chopsticks like paper.

There was even an eighth-rank captain who was pierced by chopsticks, with a hole the size of a bowl blown out in his abdomen.

"impossible!"

Shen Zhong exclaimed with his eyes wide open: "Absolutely impossible!"

Let alone a ninth-rank person, even if a ninth-rank person wanted to kill an eighth-rank person, it would take several moves, not to mention that the person was an eighth-rank master among the Jinyiwei.

How could someone be stabbed to death by a chopstick so casually?

Shen Zhong immediately felt something was wrong, as if a disaster was about to happen.

"No way, could this person be a Grand Master? Impossible!"

But the battle on the field will not stop because of his worries.

Mu Sheng was seen holding a bowl in one hand and a fire in the other, moving swiftly and freely among the Jinyiwei's encirclement.

He was always able to dodge the attacks of the Jinyiwei by sticking to their swords, and would occasionally take a bite of a steamed bun or eat a wonton.

This ghostly movement not only played tricks on the Jinyiwei who were besieging him, but also scared Shen Zhong who was watching the battle from behind into breaking into a cold sweat.

"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"

Things have come to this point, Shen Zhong can only bite the bullet and continue.

This person's martial arts skills are so high that if Shen Zhong doesn't take this opportunity to defeat him, he is afraid that he will not be able to sleep well in the future.

The archers immediately drew their bows and shot arrows, and the Jinyiwei around Mu Sheng also retreated in unison.

The next moment, hundreds of arrows flew towards Mu Sheng.

Just at this moment, Mu Sheng swallowed the last bite of steamed buns and drank the last sip of wonton soup.

He didn't swallow it either, but took a deep breath.

puff! ! !
The wonton soup turned into countless water droplets and sprayed towards the flying arrows.

A big hole instantly appeared on the wall of oncoming arrows!
Mu Sheng's figure flashed, and in a flash he passed through the hole, squeezed through the crowd, and appeared in front of Shen Zhong.

Snapped!
Mu Sheng placed the empty wonton bowl in his hand on Shen Zhong’s head.
