As soon as the finger appeared, Duanmu Rong stepped forward subconsciously, very skillfully, with almost no pause, and it could even be described as instinct.

The next moment, it appeared at the corner of the book, and after turning the page, it moved very smoothly into the collar, but this time it changed its grip.

Yue Ji covered her mouth and chuckled, then she pulled over a chair and placed it side by side with the recliner where the two of them were. The next moment, the woman's long and beautiful legs in purple fishnet stockings came over in a dignified manner.

After making a face at Duanmurong, Yueji hugged Wu Ming, pressed close to him, and began to massage him gently.

Duanmu Rong stared blankly, and after her attention was diverted, she found that compared to her own passivity, Yue Ji's initiative seemed more shameful, and her inner shame was reduced a lot.

"Bad brother, Yue'er hasn't seen Tianming for a long time. Do you know where Tianming has gone?" Taking advantage of the time when Wu Ming put down his book to take a rest, Yue'er finally plucked up the courage to run over. As a person who values ​​her friends, this question had been on her mind for quite some time.

"Tianming, he is a prince, of course he was sent back to Chang'an, that is his home."

"Oh!"

"Don't be disappointed, you will have a chance to see each other again in the future." He was in a good mood as he pinched the soft Wu Ming, and his voice was much gentler. Most importantly, the Mohist martial arts philosophy was of great help to him.

"Really?"

"Of course, my brother's home is also in Chang'an. When my brother leaves, you, your sister Rong, and your sister Xue Nu will all follow him."

"Great." Yue'er laughed. The mood of a child and the weather in June can change from bad to good in an instant.

Yue'er's mood improved. She rolled her eyes mischievously, then climbed up Wu Ming's thighs and onto his body. Then she put her arms around his neck and kissed him on the face.

"Yue'er...?" Duanmu Rong frowned.

"Is Sister Rong jealous? Then Yue'er should also kiss Sister Rong." Yue'er poked her head out, her expression both aggrieved and flattering, so cute.

"However, brother is Yue'er's future husband. Sister Rong can't always be jealous. You have to learn to adapt." As if she felt that her kiss had soothed Duanmu Rong, Yue'er started to use her big move again, which directly made Duanmu Rong angry again.

Without caring about exposing Wu Ming's big hand, he simply stood up and went to deal with the little girl. The interaction between the big and the small really made the others laugh.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Wu Ming has stayed in the Machinery City for another month.

During this month, his Mechanical City has been on the right track. In order to justify himself, Wu Ming, with the support of Master Ban, reluctantly accepted a sinecure as a leader of the Mohist school.

This was to win over the disciples of the Mohist School, and Wu Ming was not very resistant.

The lower-level staff didn't ask for much, as long as the upper level could make empty promises and lie. With the testimony of Master Ban, Duanmu Rong and others, the idea that the former leader was a traitor, a villain who was willing to sacrifice Mohist disciples for the sake of profit, and a shameless person quickly penetrated into their minds.

Wu Ming is the savior, a hero who is willing to risk the punishment of the court to protect them in order to prevent them from being implicated.

On this basis, Wu Ming soon gained an almost deified status in the hearts of these disciples.

At this time, Li Zhi, who was far away in Chang'an, also received Wu Ming's memorial and his stupid son who was sent back.

"All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the land are his subjects. The saint sees clearly. This time I went deep into this dangerous place and felt deeply. The Hundred Thousand Mountains are extremely vast and are the easiest place to hide evil people. I think the Mohist Mechanical City is blessed by nature and should be used by the saint. Because time is urgent, I took the initiative to occupy this place for the saint... Prince Tianming..."

Wu Ming's memorial contained a lot of information, explaining in detail the necessity of occupying the Jigua City, the danger posed by Yan Dan, the conspiracy behind letting Yan Dan go, etc.

The most important point is to exonerate Tang Tianming. The main idea is that he was young and was deceived by the villain. Although he was wrong, he did not commit a big mistake.

As mentioned before, Tang Tianming and Li Ji had no useful power in the court. So in Wu Ming's opinion, there was only one possibility for Li Zhi to suddenly ask Wu Zhao to hold back, and that was that he missed Li Ji.

Gongsun Li Ji was a very beautiful woman. Because of Queen Wang's relationship, she was also implicated. Li Zhi probably felt sympathy for her, so he came up with this idea.

Wu Ming naturally had to say the good things, and he directed the accusation of inciting Tian Ming directly to Yan Dan and the Xianbei people. Changsun Wuji was a Xianbei, and the emperor wanted to deal with him, so naturally he tried his best to throw dirty water on him.

Isn't it just cheating people? Wu Ming is the best at this.

……

Chapter 169: Master Ban’s Short Story

Wu Ming's guess was very accurate. It can be said that every step he took hit the heart of Li Zhi, which was a perfect control of the emperor's heart.

Such a situation would be either a blessing or a curse for an ordinary minister, but Wu Ming was different. The inner guards were just being established, and there were still many forces that could restrain Wu Ming. If he showed a little cleverness, Li Zhi would realize that Wu Ming was very loyal to the court and him.

In a nutshell, two words: reliable.

Such a reliable minister should naturally be rewarded well.

However, now that Wu Ming is wandering outside, the rewards and other things have naturally been delegated to the Wu Mansion.

Instead, it was a secret order sent from the palace. It looked like Wu Ming had something to do again.

Time flies, and it is late autumn in the blink of an eye. The late autumn in the Shiwan Mountains is much colder than that in the Central Plains. There will even be a little snow from time to time. The snow is very fine, like salt. Any wind can blow it away, and it will quickly melt after falling to the ground, leaving no snow at all.

It was also on this day that Wu Ming prepared to leave. He stayed in the Mechanical City for more than a month, and the Mechanical City had completely become Wu Ming's shape.

Even Xue Nu and Duan Mu Rong had gotten used to his frivolousness.

There is one very magical thing. After flirting with two beauties for more than a month, Wu Ming actually changed his usual behavior and became a vegetarian. This made Yue Ji very depressed. Yes, very depressed.

Because Wu Ming didn't move those two, she had to bear all of Wu Ming's energy alone, which was really too much for her to handle. Fortunately, Wu Ming also knew his limits and would never go too far.

In fact, he did not really change to a vegetarian diet. He was just trying to completely transform the Mohist martial arts philosophy into his own nourishment during this period of time, so he did not seem to care much about those things.

Moreover, long before leaving the Mechanical City, Wu Ming had already decided to take the two of them with him. After all, they were around and he could eat whenever he wanted, so there was nothing to worry about.

Duanmu Rong and Xue Nu did not have much reaction to this matter, because in their opinion, this matter should not be rushed. Only Yue Ji, who had been with Wu Ming for a long time, felt that Wu Ming seemed to have changed his personality.

"Master Juzi, someone is visiting outside the Mechanical City."

Just as Wu Ming and his party were making preparations to leave, a disciple from the Machinery City came running over and said that someone wanted to see him.

"Do you know the identity of this person?"

"The disciple didn't know. He just gave the token and said frankly that he wanted to meet Master Ban."

"Old Ban, this old man lives a secluded life. Could he have some emotional debt to settle outside that he actually came up with a token of love?" Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, and then teased jokingly.

"Master, please be merciful. I am alone and immersed in the breakthrough of mechanical engineering. How can I have any debt of love?" Old man Ban had a red nose and looked a little haggard. It was obvious that he had not slept all night again. Ever since Gongshu Chou gave him the secret of Gongshu family's mechanical engineering, the old man has been like a madman, and staying up late has become a very common behavior for him.

"It doesn't matter whether I show mercy or not. You, old man, have to worry about it yourself. If you keep playing like this, you'll be dead before you make any progress in mechanical engineering." Wu Ming rolled his eyes speechlessly. Master Ban was a talent after all, so he naturally didn't want him to die early.

"Haha, thank you for your concern, sir. I learned a health-preserving method in my early years, which was passed down by Miss Rong's master. It's just a few nights of sleep, it's no big deal." Master Ban felt warm in his heart, and was very pleased that Wu Ming treated him as a human being.

"Okay, stop talking to me about this. Since I'm here to see you, just go and meet him. Everyone is an independent individual. As long as you behave properly, I don't care about you."

"Gone, gone. This person is from the Power Gang. He came to me for the treasure of the Vast Sea Country. I was involved in designing the treasure mechanism of the Vast Sea Country. This person came only for a blueprint."

"Since my lord is leaving, you can take the blueprints with you." After Master Ban finished speaking, he fumbled in his arms for a while, and soon took out a roll of deerskin and handed it to Wu Ming.

"Old man, how can you help others build a mechanism and then sell the blueprints?" Wu Ming took the deerskin scroll. On the surface, he was mocking Master Ban for his lack of martial ethics, but his inner thoughts revealed his curiosity about his relationship with the Power Gang.

"My Lord, please don't joke. The treasure mechanism of the Vast Sea Kingdom was not designed by me alone. Even if you take my share, it is actually harmless. Moreover, the Vast Sea Kingdom has been destroyed for so long."

"These people in the Power Gang are the most scheming. You never know when you will fall into their trap. I owe them a favor, and it would be unreasonable for me not to repay it." Old Man Ban explained briefly with some shame, then covered his face with his sleeves and ran away with his short legs.

As soon as Old Man Ban left, Wu Ming put away the deerskin scroll with a smile. Not long after, Yue Ji and the others came out with their luggage, and he put them back into the space.

"Do you know about the affair between Old Man Ban and the Power Gang? This old man is so secretive and won't explain clearly, which makes me very curious."

"I do know something about this. Master Ban collected materials in the underworld in his early years and was helped once by someone from the Power Gang. It should be to repay the favor." Duanmu Rong walked to Wu Ming and gently helped Wu Ming smooth his collar. Her virtuous appearance made Wu Ming unable to help but hug the beauty and kiss her fiercely a few times.

"That's it, what does he have to hide?"

"Master Ban was poisoned that time, and it was the people from the Power Gang who helped find the girl. It is said that this was the only time in Master Ban's life that he was close to a woman." Duanmu Rong had a strange expression on her face, and she was obviously a little shy when talking about this kind of thing. Fortunately, she was a doctor, so she could look at it positively.

"Was it accidental or premeditated?"

"It should be accidental, because Master Ban's poisoning was a complete accident." Duanmu Rong thought for a while and explained again.

"Well, let it be accidental. In fact, as long as you have the will, even an accident can become a necessity."

"What do you mean?" Duanmu Rong looked at Wu Ming with some confusion.

"There is a very powerful person in the Power Gang. His name is Liu Suifeng. He is cruel and ruthless to his subordinates. He claims to be unrepentant and his methods are indeed vicious and extremely scheming."

"He has eight talents under him called Shuang Chi Yi Sha Wu Feng Huang. The Five Phoenixes are responsible for intelligence. Unlike other organizations, in Liu Suifeng's eyes, intelligence is the most advantageous weapon. He will find the right people based on this intelligence, and then send people to approach them or instigate them to defect. Some people unknowingly become undercover agents of the Power Gang."

"Old Man Ban didn't meet anyone else, but happened to be helped by the people of the Power Gang. This is enough to explain the problem. I guess if Old Man Ban hadn't been less active in the underworld, his fate with the Power Gang would not be limited to this."

"According to what you said, Liu Suifeng is too scary." The Snow Girl stuck out her pink tongue. The world of martial arts that Wu Ming described was a little beyond her understanding.

……

Chapter 170: Purple Phoenix

"He's not that scary. At least as my woman, Wu Ming, he doesn't have the qualifications to scare you. Liu Suifeng is a vicious and cruel person, but he is not without weaknesses."

Wu Ming held Yue'er in his arms, and together with the three girls, rode on the Mo family's mechanical Suzaku and flew out of the mechanical city.

"You say he is vicious and cruel, so what weaknesses could he have?" The Snow Girl asked curiously.

"His weakness is Zhao Shirong."

"Isn't Zhao Shirong Li Chenzhou's woman?"

"Of course, but this does not prevent Liu Suifeng from having a crush on Zhao Shirong. Although Liu Suifeng is a disciple of the Tang Sect's previous generation old man Tang who was forced to leave, his most powerful skill is not his hidden weapons, but his swordsmanship.

His sword technique is called Five Petal Orchid, and it is perfect against other martial arts, and is invincible. However, when facing Zhao Shirong's Five Spread Plum Sword Technique, there is a huge flaw in the last move, which is enough for Zhao Shirong to kill him with one sword. "

“Isn’t this his biggest flaw?”

"What kind of flaw is this? Zhao Shirong is Li Chenzhou's wife, and Liu Suifeng is Li Chenzhou's brother. How could they be against each other? After all, there is no flaw." Xue Nu pouted her lips. She was not deliberately refuting Wu Ming, but she felt that Liu Suifeng's secret love was very sad. Most women could not stand this, and subconsciously wanted to help defend him.

“That’s what most people think.”

"What?" The Snow Girl pinched Wu Ming's waist unwillingly. In this way, wouldn't she become the majority person in Wu Ming's mouth?

"Haha, listen to me slowly. Li Chenzhou and Liu Suifeng are brothers, but there is suspicion between brothers. Liu Suifeng is too outstanding, so naturally he can't gain all the trust of Li Chenzhou. This is actually human nature."

"It's just that these dirty deeds cannot be exposed in public. Of course, as long as the Power Gang becomes a powerful enemy, these dirty deeds will be hidden forever."

"And you shouldn't think that Liu Suifeng is some infatuated man. The five phoenixes I mentioned before are Liu Suifeng's five mistresses, and two of them died at his hands. One was stripped naked and drowned in front of many people, and the other had her face burned in a fire, and she committed suicide out of shame and anger."

"This man is so disgusting and cruel. Killing people is not enough. Why torture others like this? And the person being tortured is his ex-girlfriend." Xue Nu's expression turned ugly, and Duanmu Rong on the side also frowned.

Yue'er huddled in Wu Ming's arms, her small body trembling with fear.

Only Yue Ji had a normal expression. She looked around, only to be met with a pair of angry eyes.

She had eyes like autumn water, scarlet lips, a healthy complexion, and was wearing a purple dress that was very close fitting. She had a slender figure, which was not so slim that her toes could not be seen when she bowed her head, but it was still of a rare size.

The other party was indeed very angry, like a vicious dog after hearing his master's bedding, although he was a beauty dog.

"Master, you seem to have offended someone." Yue Ji covered her mouth and chuckled, but her eyes were cold. After teasing Wu Ming a little, she directly drew the sword at her waist, jumped out from the mechanical Suzaku, and pointed the tip of the sword directly at the woman in purple.

The woman happened to start to hear Wu Ming mention the word "mistress", and then heard Xue Nu scolding Liu Suifeng, which made her so angry. She was the Purple Phoenix, one of the Five Phoenixes.

Being extremely loyal to Liu Suifeng, he naturally couldn't bear to hear these things.

If one wants to bite people for Liu Suifeng, one must have the strength to do so. Yue Ji was originally a leader among the masters, and later she practiced Mingyu Gong, a martial art that suits her very well. Combined with her already weird Yueying sword technique, in just fifty moves, she had already suppressed the Purple Phoenix so much that it couldn't raise its head.

After another thirty moves, Yue Ji's sword cut off her belt, and her skirt also had several big holes. The sword that was used to bind clothes became a sword to strip clothes in Yue Ji's hands.

Zi Fenghuang felt that she was no match for her opponent, and when she thought about how many people were still on the other side, she simply gave up resisting. She held up her tattered skirt to cover her private parts, and looked at Yue Ji hatefully.

"What are you looking at? If you dare to glare at me again, I'll pop your eyeballs out." Yue Ji scolded fiercely. When she turned back to Wu Ming, she became gentle and affectionate again. She put her arms around Wu Ming's neck, shaking him as if to ask for credit. She stood up and squeezed Yue'er between her and Wu Ming, making him feel soft and gentle, which made Yue'er breathe easier. She finally got out of the mountain of flesh.

"Okay, if you suffocate Yue Ru to death again, you'll do a good job and get a bonus meal tonight." Wu Ming rubbed Yue Ji's head, earning her a happy smile. When he let go, she took Yue Er away from Wu Ming's arms.

"Are you Liu Suifeng's subordinate? One of the Five Phoenixes."

"Purple Phoenix Gao Silan." Gao Silan tightened her tattered clothes and couldn't help feeling a little nervous. Liu Suifeng was indeed cruel. She was afraid that Wu Ming would have some bad thoughts and be punished by Liu Suifeng after returning.

"Really? You do look a bit like Zhao Shirong. Let me think, could it be that Liu Suifeng found the five of you based on Zhao Shirong's image?"

"Of course." Gao Silan responded coldly, but she was shocked in her heart. How could this person know so much about the Power Gang?

Knowing so many secrets?

"If you say it's not, then it's not. This is something Old Man Ban brought to you. Say hello to Zhao Shirong for me when you go back, and tell him to let's have tea together when you have time." Wu Ming casually threw the deerskin scroll to Gao Silan, then left with the women without looking back.

This woman is pretty, but compared to Duanmu, Rong, Xue and the others, after some investigation, it seems that they can get along well, but she is not worth his attention.

The mechanical Suzaku took off again. Gao Silan looked at the backs of Wu Ming and others as they left, and couldn't help feeling a little scared.

After Zhuque completely disappeared from his sight, his legs went limp and he fell to the ground like a duck.

If Yue Ji brought her pressure, then Wu Ming gave her fear, a fear brought about by a strange feeling of being attracted.

Liu Suifeng's cruelty was known better than anyone else by those around him. The Golden Phoenix and the Fire Phoenix died because they were attracted to men other than Liu Suifeng.

Although the Golden Phoenix and the Fire Phoenix have been replaced now, fear remains in their hearts, and they dare not follow the footsteps of the previous two.

Wu Ming gave her a very strange feeling. Just standing there and talking to him for a few words, she couldn't help but be attracted to him. She even felt that she was a little moved.

However, she quickly suppressed this thought, as she absolutely did not dare to be tempted by it.

After finally calming down, Gao Silan opened the deerskin scroll, confirmed that it was correct, hid the thing close to her body, and then flew away.
