Wandering the Heavens

The chief eunuch had always regarded the Armory Bureau as his own private property, forming cliques and factions within it, and leading a carefree life. Unexpectedly, Cao Zhengchun, the chief eunuch of the East Factory, suddenly came here and messed up everything he had worked so hard to run. Every day when Sun Xi opened his eyes, he wondered when this chief eunuch would leave.

Before he could come to his senses, the whole capital city was saying that the damn eunuch Cao Zhengchun was beaten to death by the Iron-hearted Marquis Zhu Wusi. But wasn't he still in the Armory?

"Eunuch Cao, there's a big commotion outside right now, and you still have the mind to work as a blacksmith here!" The eunuch in charge of the Armory Bureau really couldn't understand what this eunuch was doing pretending to be dead and hiding in this small place.

"Eunuch Sun, I've told you this as soon as we got here, the more you know, the faster you'll die. Mind your own business and don't come near us." Yu Xian was currently drawing a blueprint for a flintlock rifle.

"Eunuch Cao, where is the place for us here? Since you came, all the military equipment bureau will only listen to you. We have nothing to do now." Eunuch Sun complained to him.

As soon as this damn eunuch arrived, he carried out a drastic reorganization of the Armoury Bureau. Some of those who were disobedient were killed on the spot. Now the atmosphere in the Armoury Bureau has changed drastically, but there is no place for him as the eunuch in charge.

"Eunuch Sun, this cannot be blamed on our family. If we have to blame someone, we can only blame the fact that there are too many good-for-nothings in the Armory. If we don't kill a few of them, we won't be able to explain to the Emperor. Look, aren't we much better now?" Yu Xian knew that those who had died were all the adopted sons and grandsons of the Eunuch Sun in front of him.

"Eunuch Cao, this is how we have always lived..." Eunuch Sun wanted to say something else.

"That was before we came here. I might as well tell you that the money that was recently thrown into the Armory Bureau was what I begged the Emperor for, but as soon as it was delivered here, it was completely divided up by them. They deserved it."

Yu Xian finally finished the last stroke of the blueprint, and ignored Eunuch Sun, but took the blueprint to find the craftsmen. In the Ming Dynasty with different time and space and different background, I wonder if these craftsmen can make satisfactory thermal weapons.

Zhengde received memorials from some ministers regarding the reconstruction of the main hall of Hulong Villa, and he approved it reluctantly. He secretly wrote down the list of ministers who submitted the memorials and handed it over to the East Factory for investigation and surveillance.

There is a saying that goes, "An inch is enough to push the limit." Another minister said that the main hall of Hulong Villa had its feng shui destroyed because the main hall burned down. In order to ensure the eternal prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, it needed to be rebuilt at a new site.

This time, Zhengde waited for several more days before approving the re-site selection.

Compared with the vibrant construction site of Hulong Villa, the relationship between Zhu Wushi and his adopted sons is gradually alienating, and Wan Sanqian still has not given up on Shangguan Haitang. This richest man in the Ming Dynasty, like a domineering president, does not deal with various industrial affairs, but becomes an eyesore in front of Shangguan Haitang day by day.

The last time Gui Hai Yidao's enemies attacked her, they wanted to force her to surrender, but they were killed by the Black Arrow Team of the Eastern Depot. There are also rumors that it was Master Wan who deliberately gathered those dead ghosts together in the name of seeking revenge on Gui Hai Yidao in order to please the court so that they could be wiped out.

This rumor caused a great loss of the reputation that Wan Sanqian had worked so hard to build up, and he had to spend a huge price to restore it.

Shangguan Haitang has been harassed by Wan Sanqian these days and is helpless, so she discusses a plan to elope with Gui Hai Yidao.

But their plan soon ran into an unexpected problem. The new Hulong Villa was completed, and Zhu Wusi said that he wanted to have double happiness, and that he would marry Su Xin on the day of the unveiling and move-in. Wan Sanqian said that it might as well be triple happiness, and he would also marry Shangguan Haitang on that day.

Everything has its own destiny. This time, Tiedan Shenhou wanted to marry Suxin, but Zhengde hadn't expressed his opinion yet. The ministers came forward to oppose it, saying that this woman was of humble origin.

When Yu Xian was young and ignorant, he felt that Shen Hou was wronged when he saw this. He had been stabbed and gunned for the Ming Dynasty, and he kept rushing forward even though he was covered in wounds. In the end, he couldn't even marry a woman he liked, just because she was of a lower birth.

In the official history, the royal family of the Ming Dynasty was not very fussy about the empress's origin, as long as her family background was clean. Otherwise, a charlatan would not have risen to the position of uncle of the emperor or marquis just because his daughter became a princess first and then an empress.

It's even more ridiculous in the world of martial arts where he is the best in the world. Zhu Wusi feels that he can't get the throne because of his mother's background, but he ends up falling in love with a commoner woman whose background is lower than his mother's.

I want both the royal status and Su Xin as my wife. If he really likes Su Xin, then he should give up the royal status. With his stolen skills, he will be able to make a name for himself anywhere.

Besides, it’s one thing for the royal family not to want him, but try it if other people don’t treat him as a royal family member!

Zhu Wusi felt very aggrieved. Cao Zhengchun was beaten to death by him, but these court officials pretended to be blind and kept focusing on the trivial matter of his marriage to Su Xin. For the first time, he felt that these civil servants were an eyesore.

He was not only upset by this, but also by Shangguan Haitang. Wan Sanqian proposed to marry Shangguan Haitang with an army of 800,000 soldiers, weapons and food as a betrothal gift, which was originally a foregone conclusion.

But Shangguan Haitang actually refused, and made it clear that she and Gui Hai Yidao were in love with each other, and she intended to resign from her position as a spy and leave the capital to live in seclusion.

"Haitang, I have raised you for many years, and you treat me like this?" Zhu Wusi finally had no way to deal with Shangguan Haitang.

Shangguan Haitang and Gui Hai Yidao came to Zhu Wusi hand in hand, handed back the spy token and expressed their resignation from the position of spy and the position of owner of the No. 1 Manor in the World.

"Godfather, either you kill Haitang or let Haitang and Yidao leave. There is no way I will marry Wan Sanqian!"

Shangguan Haitang is both rational and emotional, and she knows exactly what she is saying.

"My adoptive father is in a difficult situation now. Are you really going to abandon me?" Zhu Wusi started to act pitifully again.

"Yes, Haitang, the situation of the Divine Marquis in the court is delicate now. You want to leave during this difficult time. Wouldn't this be a betrayal of the Divine Marquis's kindness in nurturing you?" Wan Sanqian looked righteous.

"Wan Sanqian, no one will think you are dumb if you don't speak!" Shangguan Haitang was really annoyed with this person.

"Haitang, I am sincere to you!" Wan Sanqian covered his chest, feeling very sad.

"Wan Sanqian, whether you are sincere to me or believe in the comments of the world's number one fortune teller has nothing to do with me. Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai were truly in love, but what was their ending? What's more, your intentions are questionable, and I, Shangguan Haitang, will not like someone with such a deep mind!" Shangguan Haitang tried her best to control the tone of her voice.

"How dare you! Wan Sanqian is your future husband, how can you speak to him like that!" Zhu Wusi slammed the table and shouted angrily.

"Godfather, do you really want Haitang to marry this man? The man in my heart is Yidao!" Shangguan Haitang didn't expect this moment to come so soon.

"Haitang, you also know that my adoptive father is in a difficult situation in the court now. Without Wan Sanqian's assistance, I..." Zhu Wusi's eyes were full of helplessness.

"Godfather, Cao Zhengchun is dead. You have no opponent. How difficult is your situation?" Shangguan Haitang cried.

"Any difficult situation is just an excuse. What you really want to do is to sit on the throne in the Qianqing Palace, right?" Gui Hai Yidao said shockingly.

The faces of everyone present looked extremely ugly, because although they had guesses, they did not dare to believe it. Only Gui Hai Yidao spoke without restraint and pointed out Zhu Wusi's ambition.
