Dressed as a super rare female, being chased and pampered by the big guys

The seemingly ordinary thing made the young man so excited that his whole body trembled slightly, "I, I made it!"

“It’s a telescope!!!”

He tried again and again according to the drawing given by his wife, and finally polished the crystal piece into the appropriate thickness and arc, and placed it in the corresponding position.

The lady only said that this telescope could be of great use, but she didn't specify what it was used for, until he made the finished product himself and tried it out in front of his eyes.

Everyone watched him raise the wooden tube, put his eyes close to one end, and cried and laughed in a trance. They couldn't help but wonder what he saw that made him lose his composure like that.

"Let me see... Hoo!!"

"What?? What?!"

"I want to see too!"

"Don't push! It's my turn..."

"Clairvoyance! This is clairvoyance!!!"

All the craftsmen who looked at the telescope were greatly shocked, as if they had seen a miracle.

Through an inconspicuous small tube, your vision can be enhanced several times. How is this different from the clairvoyance in mythology and legends?

After coming to their senses, they rushed back to their workstations as if they were given a shot of chicken blood, vowing to produce some results in the other tasks assigned by their wife.

In the morning, the things were delivered to Nian Tu, who also showed a surprised look.

The current production conditions are limited, there are no mechanical tools to assist, and it is entirely up to the craftsmen to polish it manually. Making a telescope is really a troublesome task. She never thought that she could make a finished product so quickly.

Moreover, the effect was better than she imagined.

Nian Tu tried the telescope and nodded approvingly.

She caught a glimpse of Shunxi's curious eyes, eager to try it out, and smiled, "Do you want to try it?"

Shunxi lowered her head in embarrassment, but was unwilling to refuse, so she took it with both hands, "Thank you, Madam... Ah——!!!"

The eunuchs who served the emperor had to develop a calm demeanor and never lose their manners in front of the emperor. As a close attendant who had served His Majesty for many years, Shunxi had always implemented this very well.

But when he imitated Nian Tu and put his eyes close to one end of the wooden tube, he suddenly saw the scene in front of him and took a breath, losing his composure.

The old eunuch was so frightened that the skin on his face peeled off.

He thought his eyes were blurry due to old age, so he rubbed his eyes vigorously and carefully confirmed again before he dared to believe that it was not an illusion.

Oh my God...!! He was standing at one end of the hall, but he could see the carvings on the beams and pillars at the other end of the hall clearly!

After looking at it back and forth for a long time, he finally returned the thing reluctantly.

Nian Tu took the telescope with a smile, turned his head to look at the young craftsman who was waiting for evaluation like a puppy, praised him sincerely, and gave him some silver.

"There are still a few places that can be slightly adjusted..." After praising her, she picked up a pen and paper and motioned for him to come over and take a closer look.

Shunxi stood beside them in a daze, not understanding what they were saying. He just thought that this clairvoyance was already amazing, and it could be improved further? ?

How can the Queen have such a skill? It's simply divine! Is she a fairy descended to earth? !

No wonder she grew up to be so beautiful... Her humble and modest demeanor alone is far beyond the reach of the other two daughters of the Nian family.

The young craftsman took a few steps forward and smelled a gust of fragrant wind blowing past the beautiful woman's sleeves as she raised her hand. He couldn't help but blush and his eyes widened.

It was not until Nian Tu started to speak a series of serious professional numerical terms that he was shocked and his thoughts finally got back on track. As his thoughts were gradually sorted out by Nian Tu, the expression on his young face changed from secret reverie to pure admiration.

After settling down and carefully debugging several versions, a relatively mature telescope was finally produced.

In the court, ministers were ranked according to seniority and were allowed to take turns to observe His Majesty's newly acquired treasures.

Tan Konglin sat on the dragon throne condescendingly, lowering his eyes to observe the various forms of life, taking in all the changes in everyone's expressions.

Amazing, awed, excited, calculating...

The telescope passed from one courtier to another and returned to the emperor's desk. Tan Konglin reached out and picked it up, rubbing it between his fingertips and asking, "What do you think?"

"..."

"I, your humble servant, believe that this item is a rare treasure in the world, and it is the legendary 'Clairvoyance'! It is a blessing for the country to have this treasure! Your Majesty, I congratulate you!" After a brief silence, the Taifu with white hair and beard stepped forward first and bowed his head respectfully.

He flattered the emperor tactfully, and it was as if he had pressed the start button. Immediately afterwards, several ministers spoke one after another, each of them speaking with great eloquence, blowing up the "clairvoyance" in various ways.

Most of the emperor's face was hidden behind his crown. He just listened in silence, neither responding nor interrupting, and his expression was difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Until a fifth-rank junior military officer at the end of the list could no longer hold back and jumped out eagerly, "Your Majesty! In my opinion, this item can be used to spy on the enemy on the battlefield! It should be sent to General Fuyuan, and it will surely work wonders!"

As soon as these words came out, the originally lively court suddenly fell silent. Everyone was silent.

...Where did this fool come from? How dare he say anything?

This miraculous object has a special meaning that outweighs its practical value. Your Majesty does not know where he got it from, but he showed it to them with such fanfare, probably to warn them and to calm the unrest in people's hearts after the assassination and rebellion.

Even though General Zong was trusted by the emperor, he was still a subject after all. How could he be worthy of using the "clairvoyance" that belonged to the emperor?

In the strange silence, the emperor suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, "Okay, I will give you 5,000 light cavalry, and you will be responsible for escorting a batch of food and supplies to Yunnan."

"There are ten telescopes in this batch of supplies. You must deliver them intact to General Fuyuan."

What… there is more than one clairvoyant? ? ?

Having said that, anyone who doesn't understand the truth is really stupid. There are naturally few stupid people in the court, and everyone was sweating for a while.

They failed to guess the Holy Spirit's intentions and instead exposed their own little thoughts to Your Majesty.

His Majesty was indeed warning them, but it was not as superficial as they thought.

"This is a 'telescope' designed by Nian Tu, not a clairvoyance," Tan Konglin smiled and stroked the tube in his hand with love, "Although it is not a divine method, it is also rare. Only eleven have been made so far. I will keep one, and the rest will be handed over to General Fuyuan for deployment."

This is Niannian's wish, and he will naturally abide by it exactly.

New Year Tea...

Who is Nian Tu? ?

When an unfamiliar name came into their ears, most of the court officials looked confused, not knowing which colleague's name this was.

Suddenly someone thought of an incredible answer, and was so shocked that he couldn't control his mouth and blurted out, "Isn't she the general's wife???"

Upon hearing this, several ministers who were close to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion also remembered and suddenly realized.

Everyone's expression is very subtle.

If the relationship between Nian Tu and the emperor was just a secret known to few people before, then the fact that His Majesty brought the general's wife into the palace after Zong Shouyuan led his troops to war was a transparent and open news.

It is really absurd for a king to take his minister's wife.

But now that they have just been beaten, even the censors have shrunk their necks and pretended to be dead for the time being, not daring to challenge the prestige of Your Majesty, let alone other smooth-talking old foxes.

Everyone chose to pretend that they heard nothing and knew nothing. No one was willing to be the first to step forward and give advice.

Tan Konglin waited and waited with great anticipation, but failed to hear the ministers' flattery and praise of Nian Tu as he wished. Displeasure emerged between his brows, and he coldly announced his resignation from the court.

He praises me when he shouldn't, and doesn't praise me when he should, as if he has become mute...

What a bunch of idiots!

-

Yunnan, Ningzhou Prefecture.

The army was stationed in the city. Since there was no general's mansion and no new prefect took office, Zong Shouyuan temporarily lived in the original government office.

A few days ago, the barbarians detected the 300,000 troops sent by the imperial court from afar, and chose to retreat tactically again without any hesitation, leaving behind a city that was almost an empty shell. After Zong Shouyuan took over, he ordered the soldiers to cultivate the land on the spot and help the people resume production. Only then did the city gradually regain some vitality and order.

At the same time, rumors spread in the city that the court sent troops not to fight to the death, but just to intimidate. Since most of the ministers in the court advocated peace, His Majesty planned to recruit the barbarians.

These rumors spread more and more widely and became more and more true. Even the soldiers believed them most of the time, and the spies hidden in the city were also blinded.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Zong Shouyuan sent an envoy with excellent eloquence to the barbarian village at the foot of the mountain to lobby.

After some planning, the big fish was caught.

Last night, Zong Shouyuan held a banquet at the government office, and several barbarian clan leaders and village chiefs came to the city to attend the banquet to discuss the matter of recruiting them. After three rounds of wine, all the words that could be extorted were exhausted, and the soldiers drew their swords and killed the several village chiefs and their guards.

Although the number of enemies killed this time was not large, those who died at the banquet were all elite leaders among the barbarians. Killing them was like cutting off 90% of the barbarians' luck.

The only drawback was that the chief of the Barbarian Alliance was too vigilant and did not come in person, so he luckily managed to save his life.

"...The barbarian leader, King Mengcang, is not very capable. He has no strategy and is not brave enough, but he is very cautious," Aaron analyzed the intelligence to his master. "The barbarians are unwilling to fight head-on and hide in the mountains at the slightest sign of trouble. This is his plan. Now that he is scared, I am afraid he will hide tightly. No matter how we try to lure him, he will not leave the mountain again."

"It's okay," Zong Shouyuan nodded calmly, "If he refuses to leave the mountain, we will go into the mountain to capture him."

Going into the mountains to arrest people is easier said than done, but extremely difficult.

Aaron looked sad.

There are no main roads in the mountains, or even no roads at all. Not only can you not ride a horse, but you might even be bewildered by the miasma or fall off a cliff if you are not careful.

The barbarians have lived in the mountains for countless years from generation to generation and have adapted to this environment. They have a natural and overwhelming advantage over them, otherwise they would not have been able to make the previous Yunnan garrison so confused.

This matter indeed requires long-term consideration.

Zong Shouyuan lowered his eyes, thinking quietly in his heart. He couldn't think of a suitable solution for a while, so his thoughts couldn't help but drift away and he began to have some unrealistic dreams.

If only the scouts' eyesight was better...

-

As evening approached, fog rose in the mountains and it was impossible to see people more than ten steps away.

Around countless peaks and rocks, hidden in the jungle is the village where the highest-ranking barbarians live. Before yesterday, the village was full of laughter and peace, but now it is desolate, with tattered white linen hanging in every house.

An old man walked hurriedly into the tallest building in the village and saw Meng Cangku sitting on the couch, his thin back showing a decadent look.

"Wang," the old man took a deep breath and strode forward, "Why don't you even light a lamp? Don't hurt your eyes!"

"... Father-in-law? You're here?" Mengcang's reaction was a little slow. After a long time, he put down the book in his hand and smiled bitterly, "The eyes... It's nothing serious."

Whether he can save his life and how long he can survive is still unknown, so there is no time to worry about whether his eyes are healthy or not.

The chiefs of the tribes, their confidants, their right-hand men, and the best warriors in the tribe were all gone overnight, simply because they were gullible and coveted the wealth and stability deliberately portrayed by the enemy, and fell into the trap.

"The imperial court sent a large army to annihilate us, and the fight will not stop until we are dead." Mengcang has clearly realized this.

Right.

They killed the prefect and so many civilians. If the emperor had any courage at all, he would never tolerate them.

The so-called recruitment was a trap from the beginning.

The 300,000-strong army came here to crush them.

"Zong Shouyuan, I heard that the general leading the troops is Zong Shouyuan." When this name was mentioned, Meng Cang's face turned pale and the old man's expression was also very ugly.

This terrible name is a nightmare to them.

Wasn't he lame? Wasn't he disabled? How could he still be a general?!

Mengcang couldn't figure out the problem, and didn't dare to think about it carefully. He rubbed his aching brow and said in a trembling voice, "Father, I dare not close my eyes. Once I close my eyes, I will see Zong Shouyuan drawing his sword and slashing at me. I also dare not light a lamp. I'm afraid that he will follow the candlelight and lead his army into the village..."

“Impossible!” Before he could finish his words, the old man interrupted him with a shocking voice, “He may have some abilities, but he is just a human being. He can get hurt and die! Don’t deify him too much!”

Many years ago, they were too reckless and rashly left the mountains in an attempt to confront the imperial court head-on, which led to their defeat by Zong Shouyuan and forced to submit to the imperial court.

Now, they already have enough experience to fight against the imperial court. The garrison commanders in Yunnan have been defeated repeatedly by them. So what can Zong Shouyuan do even if he comes? ?

"The mountains will protect its people," the old man tightly grasped Mengcang's wrist, pulled him off the bed, and told him to straighten his back. "As long as we don't leave the mountains, neither the imperial army nor Zong Shouyuan can do anything to us!"

Not to mention lighting one lamp, even if they lit dozens or hundreds of lamps, their traces would not be exposed in this vast mountain.

Unless Zong Shouyuan can grow a pair of clairvoyance!
