The grass in the factory should be plucked

Jiang Li slept until almost noon and finished his lunch slowly before Xie Changan came back.

After discussing it, they decided to take a medicinal bath in the hot spring pool in the garden.

The bee colonies of peach blossom queen bee and pear blossom queen bee became increasingly larger. Originally, one group was in the Marquis' Mansion and the other group was in Xie's Mansion. When winter came, both hives of bees ran to the warm flower garden to spend the winter.

With them helping to guard the garden, no one can enter.

Jiang Li also told Aunt Lian that no one was allowed to get close to the flower garden before they came out, to avoid being stung by bees.

When Aunt Lian heard that they were going to practice martial arts, she hurriedly gave orders that no one in the mansion was allowed to approach within a hundred steps of the flower garden.

Jiang Li asked Qingfeng, Mingyue and the other three to guard outside to ensure that everything was safe, and then he and Xie Changan walked into the flower garden with the medicinal materials.

She put the herbs into the pool one by one. Just like the first medicinal bath, the water in the pool switched through various strange colors. Finally, the warm water turned into a cold pool with an eerie chill.

Jiang Li said with a bitter face: "It would be fine if it was the hot summer, but soaking in cold water in the middle of winter is freezing to death!"

Xie Changan smiled and said, "Your husband is holding you?"

Jiang Li said angrily: "Be serious! Be careful not to get carried away!"

The two of them used the divine movement body refining technique, and Jiang Li protected the two of them with his divine sense. Then they held hands, stepped into the pool, and sat down cross-legged.

The pool water soaked his whole body. Jiang Li slowly withdrew his consciousness. Suddenly, he felt as if his whole body was being pricked by needles. It was cold to the bone and extremely painful.

Her eyes immediately filled with tears, and Xie Changan also groaned and looked at her worriedly.

She bit her lips tightly, closed her eyes, and concentrated on practicing the technique.

Xie Changan then felt slightly relieved and began to concentrate on running his internal energy.

He also had spiritual awareness, and he used it to assist in running his martial arts techniques, making them incredibly smooth.

After practicing the technique for several cycles, they gradually no longer felt cold and allowed the icy cold water to temper their bones over and over again.

The two of them entered a state of meditation in the water, and frost began to form on their hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes, and slowly their entire bodies began to freeze.

The two people sitting in the pool were frozen all over, like ice sculptures.

After an unknown amount of time, the ice and snow slowly melted, and the water in the pool gradually warmed up. Jiang Li used his spiritual sense to look inside himself, and saw that the bones in his entire body were as white as jade. He had finally mastered the second level of the Divine Movement Body Refining Technique!

She opened her eyes happily, and Xie Changan opposite her was also looking at her with a smile. He was as handsome as a pile of stones like jade and rows of pines like emerald green. There was a clear light in his eyes, and it was obvious that he had also mastered the skills.

"Brother Changan, have you also mastered it?"

"Ah."

He had learned without a teacher and had already learned to use his spiritual sense to look inside his own body. He saw that his bones were as shiny as jade, and he could not help but be overjoyed.

He felt that his skills had improved a lot, and now he was able to fight against the Gu King!

The two changed their clothes and walked out of the garden hand in hand. It was already noon the next day.

This medicinal bath took them a full day and night!

Qingfeng, Mingyue and the other three who were guarding outside the flower garden were stunned for a moment when they saw the two of them coming hand in hand.

It is Qiu Shui who is the god and jade who is the bones, what a perfect couple!

"You have worked hard, go and have a rest." Jiang Li said with a smile.

Mingyue blinked her eyes: "My Lord, why do I feel that you and Mr. Xie look better than before?"

"Really?" Jiang Li touched his face happily.

Xie Changan stared at her intently. She used to be extremely beautiful in appearance, and now she was even more beautiful to the core!

Jiang Li chuckled in her heart, "If I had known that this divine body-refining technique could also improve beauty, I would have practiced it earlier when I was in the cultivation world!"

She had just mastered the first level of the technique and had not yet started the second level.

Xie Changan also laughed in his heart: "Who is prettier, you in the cultivation world, or you are prettier now?"

Jiang Li said: "In fact, my appearance is very similar to my original body, Little Noble. I was better looking before, but now this body has grown. After the third level of the technique is perfected, my appearance should be similar to my original one."

People in the world of cultivation have their bodies tempered by spiritual energy, so naturally there won't be ugly people.

Jiang Li is not only a pure spirit body, but also has skin as white as ice and bones, and is exquisitely carved.

Xie Changan was surprised. Her current appearance was already extremely beautiful. I wonder how beautiful she must be in the world of cultivation?

"I'm starving, auntie—"

Jiang Li's stomach began to protest, so she left her husband and ran to find Aunt Lian.

Prince Wei's Mansion.

In the dim little Buddhist temple, Nangong Yonghe was silently gazing at the more than one hundred spirit tablets.

He lit three incense sticks and placed them in the incense burner.

A strange fragrance slowly spread in the small Buddhist hall.

Then, he took out a wine jug and a bowl from the sacrificial basket he brought, and slowly poured the liquid in the jug into the bowl. The liquid was blood red in color, obviously blood!

He took out a bronze mirror and placed it aside. In the mirror, a blurry-faced Nangong Yonghe showed a strange smile.

Nangong Yonghe said calmly: "Why don't you take good care of your injuries? I will do whatever you tell me to do."

The person in the mirror chuckled and said, "The fairy must have been here that night at the palace banquet. As soon as you returned home, I could sense her remaining presence."

Nangong Yonghe suddenly realized.

During the palace banquet, he saw Jiang Li and Xie Changan leave the table and return after a long time.

And Nangong Qinghe happened to bring up his marriage at this time and asked the ministers to compose poems. It turned out that he wanted to delay him so that Jiang Li and the other two could sneak into his palace and investigate secretly.

"So what?" He sneered, "My biggest secret is you, isn't it?"

"I'm not afraid of people seeing all these spirit tablets in this room. Everyone knows that the entire Su family was wiped out back then. These 112 spirit tablets represent the lives of the entire Su family!"

The person in the mirror said, "The emperor and the queen mother probably want to kill you. You need to speed up your revenge plan."

"understood."

He also didn't want to play along with the royal family anymore. He wanted to finish the job as soon as possible and return to southern Xinjiang to prepare to welcome the little fairy!

Nangong Yonghe asked again: "The fairy's talisman is so powerful, how are you going to deal with it?"

The person in the mirror laughed strangely: "That defensive talisman consumes a lot of spiritual power. There are so many people in the royal family, how can the fairy protect them all? They are just the emperor and the eldest prince. If they can't move, then don't move."

"It's good that you know it." Nangong Yonghe said coldly.

He took out a pen, dipped it in the blood in the bowl, and slowly wrote a name on a memorial tablet - "Zhang Zhao", which was the name of the Duke of Zhenguo!

What was strange was that the blood-red name quickly hid in the spirit tablet and disappeared.

With a sneer on his face, he wrote the words "Zhang Xian" on another tablet. This was exactly the maiden name of Empress Dowager Zhang!

Although the culprit did not die at the hands of his son, he died at the hands of his most beloved son, which was a worthy death.

The remaining enemies, let you also taste the heart-wrenching pain of having your entire family wiped out.

After completing the second level of the Divine Movement Body Refining Technique, Jiang Li resumed his normal life.

Xie Changan is now busy with military training, and the affairs of Jinweiyi have basically been handed over to the Tongzhi.

After the New Year holiday is over and the court session begins, the establishment of the Southern Expedition Army will be formally announced.

He goes out early and comes back late every day, while Jiang Li sleeps until noon every day. After breakfast, he strolls to the Longmen headquarters to deal with the account books. Occasionally, he will go to inspect the various stores in Longmen on a whim.

The one with the highest profit now is Longmen Tiangong.

After the disciples of the Mohist School joined Longmen Tiangong, various inventions emerged one after another, such as automatic seeding machines, harvesters, threshers, flour mills, thermoses that can keep warm, instant food that can be heated and eaten, and fans that can automatically rotate when pulled...

Every time a new product is launched, people rush to buy it.

Longmen Tiangong’s own productivity was limited, so Cui Jue and Mo Qillang petitioned the emperor to set aside several imperial farms to establish Longmen Tiangong’s own workshop.

The goods produced by the workshop were shipped out like flowing water, and the silver also flowed into Longmen Tiangong's warehouse like flowing water.

Nangong Qing and Long Yan were very pleased. Just as Jiang Li said, as long as Longmen Tiangong's products were on the market, it would be a hen that laid golden eggs!

Not only did his private treasury become more and more abundant, but it also solved the employment problems of a large number of refugees. It was truly a good thing that killed several birds with one stone!

He ordered Cui Jue to begin taking inventory of the national treasury and his private treasury and begin preparing for the southern expedition.

Before troops move out, food and fodder must be sent ahead. This has been an old rule of military operations since ancient times.

So, while others were still on vacation, Cui Jue and his confidants in the Ministry of Revenue had to start working overtime.
