After the child's mind was read, the tyrant caught the male queen with a black face

A small rockery not far away was blown beyond recognition.

Except for the Emperor, the Crown Prince, Taoist Priest Li and Taoist Priest Fang, all the other eunuchs and palace maids who were serving them were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.

The courtiers in the palace could not hide their shock and whispered:

"This guy, this guy...hiss, he can actually create thunder in broad daylight!"

"This is quite powerful. It seems that the Imperial Master has never used thunder in broad daylight..."

"Pooh, pooh, pooh! That's because our little national teacher is still young. When he learns it in the future, the power he can use will definitely be even greater!"

……

At this time, the emperor, the prince and two Taoist priests who looked like immortals walked in slowly from outside the door.

When Taoist Fang saw Yuan Ruan, he bowed his hands very respectfully and said, "Look at this person, he is radiating divine light. I believe you must be the great Xia country's master of profound Daoism. I have heard of your name for a long time. It is a pleasure to meet you."

Taoist Priest Li also bowed and said, "Nice to meet you."

Yuanruan calmed down after hearing the friendly greeting from the other party and gave the other party a small bow in return.

At this time, Taoist Li just proposed that His Majesty had verified the power of thunder magic, and he was willing to offer the "Shenxiao Jinhuo Tianding Dafa" in exchange. He hoped that the Jinyiwei could release the captured Taoist disciples, and he would immediately take the trapped Taoist friends away from Daxia.

The emperor was about to nod his head in agreement when he heard Yuan Ruan's inner voice:

Yuan Ruan: [Tong'er, what did these two Taoist priests just do? Is it gunpowder? ]

System: [From the sound, it should be! Amazing! With further research, we may soon be able to develop gunpowder that can be used stably.]

Courtiers: !!!

gunpowder?

Is this the advantageous weapon that the young national master mentioned before?

The emperor and the prince looked at Taoist Li with profound eyes.

Yuanruan: [What a powerful boss. Tong'er, can you help me check if he has any national destiny mission? ]

System: [Strange, the national destiny mission has not been triggered. But this is gunpowder. If it is done well, Daxia will have a weapon that kills anyone it hits. The national strength will definitely be greatly improved.]

Courtiers: !!!

what? !

It will definitely improve the country's fortune? Is it that amazing?

After hearing the words "whoever is hit will die", the capillaries all over the body of the Minister of War expanded, and the look he gave the two Taoist priests changed from disdain to hotness, staring straight at him. Taoist Priest Li paused twice while stroking his beard.

Yuanruan: [Gunpowder is not just a weapon, is it? It can also be used in mining and construction, to treat wounds, etc. In other words, it is because it has promoted the development of many industries that there are so many good things in the future, such as flying airplanes and rockets, and fishing boats that travel around the coast...]

As Yuanruan was talking, he began to recall the huge contract he had signed. Then he went off topic and not only talked about the benefits of gunpowder, but also started talking about good things that had nothing to do with gunpowder.

But the people of Daxia don’t know!

They were excited by some new concepts and new things that Yuanruan casually threw out.

The court officials couldn't help but begin to fantasize.

The Minister of Revenue took out his golden abacus, his eyes sparkling with excitement, and he began to calculate frantically.

The Minister of Rites could not help but move closer to the window and look up at a bird gliding in the air, his arms slightly stretched out as if he was imagining how he would fly in the air.

The Minister of War didn't move at first, but his expression became better and better. Suddenly, he roared and tore apart Uesugi, then ran out like a gust of wind and disappeared without a trace.

The palace maids, eunuchs, and Taoist priests who cannot hear their inner voices: ???

Yuanruan was dumbfounded: [What's going on? ]

System: [I don’t know! Could it be that he was shocked by the Taoist priest’s anger?]

Among them, the emperor and the prince had the calmest expressions. Noticing the puzzled looks of the crowd, the prince even said to the other court officials very experiencedly, "Don't panic, he will be back soon."

As everyone was puzzled, they soon heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

The next moment, the Minister of War ran back with his hair standing upside down and hot white mist coming out of his body. As he jogged back, he tilted his head and looked straight at the two Taoist priests, focusing on Taoist Priest Li, and gasped for breath.

Taoist Priest Li: ...

Scared and took a half step back.

At this time, Taoist Li couldn't help but emphasize again, when can we leave.

The Minister of Industry quickly looked at the emperor, his face full of "Your Majesty, such a big shot can't be let go!"

The emperor had a headache. As a king, his word is his bond. He had just reached an agreement with Taoist Li, so how could he go back on his word now?

Wait, only he agreed, but the prince didn’t.

Thinking of this, he took out a brush from the side, quickly wrote a few words on the silk cloth, and then quietly handed it to the prince.

The prince took it doubtfully, looked down, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Father, what are you thinking about! Not only does he need to cleverly keep the two Taoist priests, but he also needs to figure out how to subdue the two Taoist priests so that they can wholeheartedly provide Daxia with the gunpowder formula and subsequent research!

Father, the two Taoist priests are not naive people!

Can we get the wool like this?!

The prince looked up at the emperor disapprovingly, but only saw the emperor's eyes full of encouragement.

Prince:......

Sometimes, as the emperor's son, I feel helpless.

The prince took a deep breath, his mind racing as he thought about how to get the other party to stay and voluntarily study things.

It is definitely not possible to detain someone by force, so bribery is the only option.

But the Taoists are all superstitious, and ordinary yellow and white things may not be that attractive... Wait, superstitious, the prince suddenly thought of the reason why Taoist Zhou's attitude suddenly changed.

An idea flashed through the prince's mind, and he suddenly said to the two Taoist priests, "Before you came, you said that the Shenxiao Sect is not only good at thunder magic, but can also know the past and predict the future? Is that right?"

The two Taoist priests were stunned, looked at each other, nodded slightly and said: "Indeed, I have done some research on these."

Yuan Ruan opened his eyes wide: [Hmm? My nephew has been quite superstitious recently! But I can understand that. After all, this Taoist priest has researched gunpowder, so he might also have some knowledge of horoscopes.]

System: [Yes, some fortune tellers are really awesome.]

The prince suddenly asked, "Then can you tell me who will be the next emperor of Daxia?"

Everyone:? ? ?

How can you ask such a question!

Prince, what's wrong with you, Prince?!

The emperor was also stunned, and even began to wonder if he had put too much pressure on the prince and caused him to suffer from stress.

Yuanruan: [I'm so excited, I saw a fatal question all of a sudden!! Is it so exciting? ! ]

System: [Hiss, what... has irritated my nephew? ]

The two Taoist priests cried out "Ah!" and their immortal bodies seemed to have cracked.

I’ve seen people asking about their future, but I’ve never seen anyone asking in front of the emperor whether he or she can ascend the throne!

Are you trying to force them to death?!
