Madam, protect me!

Prince Chun's Mansion.

When Li Nuo walked to the gate of the palace, Li Yun just came out. Seeing Li Nuo, he was slightly stunned and blurted out: "You came at the right time. I was just about to go to Ningxin Garden to find you. It saves me the trip..."

Li Yun grabbed Li Nuo's arm and came to a hall in the palace.

He rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "I have already made the thing you told me about last time, but I haven't verified it yet. At this moment, I think I should witness it with you..."

Li Yun looked out the window and said, "Qingqing."

The mechanical woman named Qingqing pressed a button of a huge object placed outside the hall.

The huge mechanism started up with a rumbling sound, and a transparent glass ball hanging in the hall emitted a bright yellow light, illuminating all corners of the hall. Its light was brighter than any candle in the world.

At this moment, the power of Mohism in Li Nuo and Li Yun's bodies was simultaneously promoted to the semi-saint realm.

Feeling the changes in his cultivation, Li Yun came back to his senses. He clasped his fists towards Li Nuo with a serious expression and said, "Thank you."

He knew very well that Li Nuo could have done these things by himself, but he shared all the opportunities with him. It was Li Nuo who made him what he is today, just as Uncle Li made his father what he is today.

They, father and son, owe Uncle Li and his son too much.

Li Nuo came here today to ask Li Yun about the progress of the research on those war weapons.

He had provided Li Yun with some ideas before, which were originally intended to resist the invasion of the State of Wei, but before these things were put into use, the State of Wei no longer existed.

Those things were essentially the application of existing mechanical techniques, and did not bring much improvement to the Mohist cultivation. However, the move from steam to electricity was undoubtedly an epoch-making progress.

If Daxia could unify the world and concentrate its efforts on completing the Industrial Revolution, the two of them would not have to do anything and could just sit back and wait for Mohism to become a saint.

The Mohist Semi-Saint, in addition to controlling mechanisms, can also control people like mechanisms.

This is very similar to some of the abilities of the Diplomats, or even exactly the same. The abilities of each school are repeated, and each school has its own unique abilities. The Diplomats can manipulate the thoughts of anyone below the saint at will. It is said that after becoming a saint, the Mohists can break free from the constraints of the flesh and entrust their souls to the mechanism, achieving immortality under certain conditions...

This kind of eternal life is meaningless to Li Nuo.

He can achieve eternal life without entrusting his soul to any mechanism. The improvement of Mohist cultivation is just a byproduct of reform and saving the country.

When leaving Prince Chun's Mansion, Li Nuoduo glanced at the mechanical woman named "Qingqing".

After Li Yun broke through to the semi-saint level, she seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation. The quality of the Mohist mechanism depends on the material and the strength of the maker. With Li Yun's semi-saint strength, the mechanism man he carefully crafted is comparable to a fifth-level master.

After Li Nuo left, Li Yun realized something. He carefully looked at the mechanical woman in front of him and said with a smile: "Qingqing, when I cultivate to the level of a Mohist sage, I can make you the same as an ordinary woman..."

A gentle look appeared in Qingqing's gem-like eyes, and she whispered, "Yunlang, what if even a saint can't do this?"

Li Yun waved his hand and said, "That doesn't matter. No matter what you look like, I will be with you forever."

"Qingqing" lowered her eyelids and said, "Flesh and blood are weak, but mechanisms are eternal. Even a saint cannot escape the erosion of time. Yunlang, why don't you abandon the burden of your flesh and use the mechanism as your body? Then, we can be together forever..."

…

Li Nuo returned to Ningxin Garden. Yiren was sitting alone in the yard swinging on a swing. When she saw him come back, she snorted softly, turned her head away and stopped looking at him.

Li Nuo walked over, sat beside her and swung with her.

Although Yiren didn't look at him or talk to him, she moved her butt to the side to make more space for him.

Li Nuo put his arm around her shoulders and asked softly, "Are you still angry?"

Yiren twisted his waist and said angrily, "How can you do this? I should be the first one to marry you. How can you let me be the last one?"

Perhaps because the ceremony was snatched away by someone else, Yiren attached more importance to the sense of ceremony than anyone else.

Li Nuo could only comfort her, "The best must be saved for last. Although Zhiyi and Fenghuang were before you, they didn't even have a wedding, let alone a ceremony. Do you want this?"

Yiren immediately said: "Of course not!"

The first wedding was snatched away by Song Jiaren, and the second by Li Anning. As his legitimate fiancée, she not only had to rank behind them, but it would be too miserable if she didn't even have a wedding...

A grand wedding, a complete ceremony, everything that should belong to her, nothing can be missing!

Li Nuo continued, "Fenghuang and Zhiyi are older than you. You won't suffer any loss if you call them sisters. In the future, they will have to give in to you at home..."

Yiren's eyes rolled around, and finally a slight curve appeared at the corners of her mouth.

The two swung on the swing for a while, and Phoenix walked in from outside with a clear look of worry on his face.

Yiren jumped off the swing, walked to her side, and said, "Forget it, I forgive you. Anyway, I called you Sister Phoenix..."

Phoenix smiled slightly, but the worry between his brows still did not dissipate.

Li Nuo noticed her abnormal mood. After she walked into the room, he followed her in and asked, "What's wrong?"

Fenghuang took out a letter from her sleeve and said, "A letter from the Qingluan Society of Qi State..."

…

Since its establishment, the State of Qi has vigorously developed the espionage industry.

Three hundred years have passed since then, and Qi's spies have spread all over the continent. Some officials in the Great Xia Dynasty, some generals in the army, and even some families several generations ago were spies of Qi.

The purpose of Qi State doing this was certainly not for fun, but to be able to use them when going to war with other countries one day.

The mission that Fenghuang received this time was to fully activate the Qingluan Society spies in Chang'an to obtain Daxia's military secrets and create various disturbances in Chang'an. They used many methods, such as inciting officials in the court to oppose each other, causing infighting in the court, obtaining the transportation routes of food and supplies, stealing the weapon blueprints of the Ministry of War, etc.

Although the weapons of war that Li Nuo asked Li Yun to make have not yet been used, the State of Qi has already received the news, which shows how deep their infiltration into Daxia is.

Phoenix obviously cannot do these things.

Li Nuo couldn't let her do it either.

Fenghuang looked worried and said, "I'm fine in Chang'an. I'm worried about Zhi'er. If I don't follow their instructions, Zhi'er will definitely be in danger..."

Previously, in order to control the Phoenix, the Qingluan Society brought Nightingale back to Qi.

Of all her relatives, she only has this one sister left, so Li Nuo certainly wouldn't let anything happen to Nightingale.

He held Fenghuang's hand and said, "Don't worry, I will go to Qi State and bring Nightingale back to you..."

Fenghuang has always been worried about Nightingale, and Li Nuo has long wanted to bring her back.

In the entire Qi State, except for the Qi Emperor Li Nuo, who is not a match, the rest of the semi-saints are not a concern.

Although he was not as powerful as the Emperor of Qi, no one could stop him from leaving.

With the combination of the Cloud of Righteousness and the Law of Exile, he has the fastest speed under the Saint, and his running speed is absolutely first-rate. If the Emperor of Qi dares to chase him, it is uncertain who will teach whom a lesson...

Phoenix moved her lips. One was her sister and the other was her husband. Phoenix didn't want to put the other person in danger in order to save the other.

Li Nuo saw her worry and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't underestimate your husband's ability. I will definitely bring Nightingale back to you safely. By the way, does Yuyin Pavilion have her things, such as underwear or something..."

Fenghuang looked at him, thought for a long time, and said, "As long as Zhi'er is willing, I have no objection, but you'd better convince Yiren first..., when did you start liking women's underwear?"

Li Nuo tapped her forehead and said unhappily, "What are you thinking about? I was thinking about whether I could find her hair or something like that on her underwear. That way, when I get to Qi, I can calculate her location..."

After a while, Fenghuang took out a purse from the room and took out a lock of hair and gave it to Li Nuo.

This was what Nightingale left for her when she left Chang'an, and it happened to be something that Li Nuo could use.

Li Nuo took a few strands of hair and put them away, then looked at Fenghuang and asked jokingly, "You really don't object?"

Fenghuang smiled gently and said, "If you can convince Yiren, I won't object..."

Yiren came in from outside and asked, "What do you want to convince me of?"
