The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

The sun shines brightly in the first month of the lunar calendar.

The weather in January is very good for health.

Jia Daoshi rode the fine horse that Shen Li had brought from her place on the road back to the manor.

Accompanying him was naturally Yi Qianxiao.

After leaving Mantuo Manor, Yi Qianxiao waited for Jia Daoshi in Shen Li's camp.

With such a big incident, Shen Li must be very busy, so Jia Daoshi and the other person had to come back on their own.

"The patriarch is back! The patriarch is back!"

"The Fifth Madam is back! The Fifth Madam is back!"

When Jia Daoshi and Yi Qianxiao came into view, the dutiful butler Sun, who had been waiting at the gate, immediately stood up and shouted into the manor to tell the people inside the estate this wonderful news.

After that, Steward Sun turned around and jogged towards Jia Daoshi and Yi Qianxiao. Although he was over fifty years old, he was still very healthy and his steps were very light.

Upon reaching the horse, Steward Sun bowed respectfully: "Master, Fifth Madam!"

"Well, Steward Sun, did anything happen at the manor yesterday?" Jia Daoshi asked.

Jia Daoshi dismounted and walked over to Yi Qianxiao, then picked up his fifth daughter as well.

The order of the fifth wife was actually chosen by these young ladies themselves in their private quarters.

First and foremost, of course, is Murong Jiu, the princess's first wife.

Next were Yan Ruyu, Mu Weishuang, Di Qinglin, and Yi Qianxiao.

Of course, the last four are arranged according to age.

Actually, Murong Jiu was the youngest; otherwise, Jia Daoshi would have executed that girl on the spot long ago.

"Master, everything was fine at the manor yesterday. There was a curfew in Yilan County, but it didn't affect us much."

"Also, the second manager of Guanglong Sword Shop brought over a cartload of medicinal herbs, and specifically instructed that there were thousand-year-old ginseng, thousand-year-old he shou wu, and some other precious medicinal herbs whose origins are unknown."

"You can really get your hands on one?" Jia Daoshi was somewhat surprised.

Items like thousand-year-old ginseng and thousand-year-old he shou wu are basically reserved for the royal family and are priceless.

The second-in-command of Guanglong Sword Shop must have powerful connections to get these things!

"Jia Daoshi! Jia Daoshi!"

With a roar like a lion, Jia Hu, that big guy, charged out.

"Homeowner!"

Following behind Jia Hu was Jia Bing.

Yesterday, the sounds of military mobilization could be heard everywhere around Yilan City, which made the two brothers very nervous.

"Yes, things might get a little turbulent at the manor these next few days, so you two will have to work a bit harder."

Jia Daoshi was in a good mood when he saw his two right-hand men, especially when he saw Jia Bing's face, he couldn't help but smile.

"It's no trouble at all! Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be dealt with severely, these thieves will never leave alive!"

Jia Bing patted his chest and said.

After not touching a corpse for several days, Jia Bing felt his hands itching again.

Looting a corpse, that's so satisfying!

Looking at Jia Bing, who was unusually excited, Jia Daoshi had a strange expression on his face.

However, he was still very satisfied with the performance of the two guys.

"Alright, go back to the training ground and practice hard. I plan to build another large mechanical beast in the next couple of days." After the battle at Mantuo Manor, Jia Daoshi felt that his strength was still too weak.

This time we have to go for something big.

After sending Jia Bing and Jia Hu back, it's time for the real protagonist of the manor to make his appearance.

The two young ladies living in the inner courtyard also hurriedly came out after hearing the maids' report.

What puzzled Jia Daoshi was that Di Qinglin was not wearing sunglasses and was still wearing a black ribbon.

Murong Jiu wore a floral jacket and had her hair styled in two buns, also known as Nezha buns.

Two red ribbons fluttered in the wind, making it look like a traditional Chinese lucky doll, which was very cute.

This is a hairstyle that Murong Jiu specially styled for the Lantern Festival. She said that when she was young, her mother loved to tie her hair into this Nezha hairstyle.

The way Murong Jiu looked at Jia Daoshi conveyed a feeling that a day apart felt like three autumns.

"Ladies, haven't you missed your handsome, considerate, and incredibly gentle husbands after just one day apart?"

As soon as Jia Daoshi saw Di Qinglin and Murong Jiu, he couldn't help but tease them.

Upon hearing Jia Daoshi's somewhat frivolous words, Yi Qianxiao and Yin Xin chuckled beside them, while Di Qinglin and Murong Jiu blushed.

However, they all nodded shyly in the end.

"Qinglin, why aren't you wearing the Tyrannosaurus Rex sunglasses I gave you?" Jia Daoshi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Oh, you mean those? They're too stiff, and a bit too big for me. Wearing them on my nose is really uncomfortable. Even though I can see clearly, it's still not pleasant. I think it's better to use these ribbons; they're soft and comfortable." Di Qinglin explained, "I saw that Hu Zi liked them, so I gave them to him. And you know what? Hu Zi looks much more imposing after putting on these sunglasses!"

"Haha! That's quite a move of yours." Jia Daoshi's sunglasses were indeed a bit too big for Di Qinglin.

However, this also made Di Qinglin's eyes a source of worry for Jia Daoshi.

Before time travel, treating this disease wouldn't be a big problem; some pilocarpine eye drops would suffice.

Pilocarpine sounds technical, but it's actually just atropine eye drops.

"Alright, let's go back inside now. Your handsome young man misses you all very much!"

Jia Daoshi laughed and said, "Although the sun is out today, the weather in January is still very cold, with a biting wind. It's not good to stand outside."

Moreover, at this time, the outside world, including the entire Yilan County, was almost under the control of the army. If you showed your face outside at this time, you would be killed instantly. Of course, it was better to stay in your own comfort zone!

When Jia Daoshi returned, it was still morning. He went back to the manor, had breakfast, took a bath, and then went straight to his room.

When we came out again, the sun was already setting!

The family sat together and enjoyed a delicious meal. By the time they finished eating, the moon was already high in the sky.

Jia Daoshi arrived at his blacksmith shop. This time, the second-in-command of Guanglong Sword Manual sent a lot of rare ores, including meteorite iron from outer space. With these, Jia Daoshi decided to forge an even more powerful mechanical beast.

Of course, besides the mechanical beast, Jia Daoshi's plan is to build a Barrett rifle.

Soon, the sound of clanging and banging filled the blacksmith's shop.

As night deepened, the clanging sounds of metalworking continued to echo from the blacksmith's shop.

At the same time, dark figures suddenly appeared in the grove of trees by the wall in the backyard of the manor.

"I never expected so many twists and turns this time. We can forget about the treasure of Daqing. But fortunately, we have received news that a group of people from Longwu Kingdom entered this manor and never came out again! It is said that they possessed the long-lost 'Overlord Mechanical Technique' and the secret treasure of the Kumu Sect. These are also extraordinary treasures. This time, we will rely on our own luck when we go in. Everyone must not fight among themselves!"

It must be said that these people in the martial arts world are very well-informed; they received the news so quickly.
