Report to your majesty, the prince is courting death again

Qinyin Cottage.

This elegant and quiet building in the center of the lake was not quiet at all at this time.

"Xu An, Xu An, dare to humiliate me like this, I will not forgive you, I will not forgive you!"

Holding the sword, Xiao Yuanxuan smashed all the tea sets, tables and chairs in the hall into pieces, and the ground was in a mess.

Not far away, the old Taoist priest Daoyan and several beautiful women knelt on the ground and trembled, not daring to look up.

"Daoyan, how did you do what I asked you to do?"

Xiao Yuanxuan turned back suddenly, pointing the sword in his hand at Daoyan.

Daoyan was so scared that he almost fell to the ground. He kept saying, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I'm already doing it. When the time comes, I will definitely make him show his true colors under the attention of the whole capital."

"It's just... I need to build momentum."

"My apprentice is recovering from his injuries now, so I can't build momentum. Please help me, Your Highness!"

Xiao Yuanxuan only wanted to kill Xu An now. He said coldly, "Okay, I will build momentum for you. I will order everyone to help you stir up the topic."

"But listen to me! If I can't kill Xu An, I will kill you!"

The old Taoist nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I have a foolproof plan!"

"In three days, I will definitely invite Xu An to fight and get rid of Xu An for Your Highness."

At this time, the old Taoist had already thought of a way to kill Xu An.

Cook first and then fry!

...

Dingguo Mansion

After Xu An sent Su Wan'er home, Xu Xiao's personal soldiers found him with the palace soldiers and took him back to the Xu family without saying a word.

As soon as he entered the backyard, Xu An saw Xu Xiao and Xu Qingyu, who were standing under the window sill obediently.

This sense of déjà vu was like a student who made a mistake in the future and was kicked out of the classroom by the teacher to listen to the class under the window sill.

"Big pot, I have nothing to eat."

Seeing Xu An, the little bean's eyes immediately turned red.

She hid under the bed and ate the roast chicken she had hidden, thinking that the evil sister could not find her, but she was caught by the evil sister and thrown outside the door for punishment.

Because she had eaten tens of thousands of taels of silver from the Duke's Mansion in the past three years.

Little bean naturally didn't know how much 30,000 taels was, but she only knew that she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't eat.

However, when Xu An heard the little bean calling him, he turned around and left in fear. Xu Qingfeng asked him to think clearly about how to trick her and come back, but he still didn't understand what this sentence meant!

"Xu An, where are you going now?"

Seeing Xu An turning around to leave, Xu Xiao immediately looked into the room and raised his voice.

Xu Xiao, your uncle... Xu An's steps suddenly froze, and he turned around stiffly little by little, and saw Xu Qingfeng standing at the entrance, looking at him with a smile.

The smile was full of danger.

Xu An's legs trembled in fear, and he swallowed his saliva and said, "Sister, I'm back."

"Oh? I thought you would need seven or eight days to think of a good excuse to trick me, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

Xu Qingfeng turned and entered the study, and a cold voice came: "Come in."

Xu An had to shrug and walk forward.

When he was close to Xu Xiao, he kicked him directly and gritted his teeth and said, "Xu Xiao, you hurt me!"

Xu Xiao twisted his waist and dodged Xu An's foot and said unhappily, "It's obviously you who hurt me. I have sealed the mouths of the servants in the house. No one is allowed to mention my drinking."

"But now your sister not only knows that I drink, but she also dug out my old wine in the cellar!"

"Don't tell me that it wasn't you who told the secret."

Xu An almost cursed when he heard it: "Xu Xiao, are you stupid? What do I have to do when I'm full? Why do I care about your drinking?"

"Also, I didn't know there was any old wine in the cellar until now!"

Xu Xiao was stunned and said, "It seems to be true. How did your sister know?"

The two looked at each other and said in unison, "There is a traitor..."

Then, their eyes looked at Xu Qingyu in unison.

When it comes to hiding things, the entire Duke's Mansion is not as good as Xu Qingyu.

Xu Qingyu bit her fingertips. When she saw Xu An and Xu Xiao looking at her, she immediately blinked her big eyes, her delicate face full of innocence.

"Qingyu! Did your sister ask you anything? I said that your brother would take you to eat delicious food."

Xu An pointed outside the door and said, "Tianxianglou, order whatever you want."

When she heard about Tianxianglou, her saliva almost flowed out.

She nodded vigorously and said, "The evil sister asked where Dad hid the wine, and asked my brother what was wrong... I said my brother loved me more than before."

"But my sister is so bad. She said she would give me delicious food, but she beat me up..."

Xu An: "?"

Xu Xiao: "?"

The two of them took Xu Qingyu away at the same time.came over, and raised their hands at the same time.

"Wow wow wow..."

Soon, the sonic boom of the little bean spread throughout the yard.

When Xu An entered the study, Xu Qingfeng was fiddling with the drawings he drew.

The corners of his mouth twitched suddenly. Damn, the traitor was not only Xu Qingyu, but also Wuxie.

"Is this the sewing machine you modified?"

Seeing him come in, Xu Qingfeng pointed to one of the papers and asked.

"Yes, the modified sewing machine is more efficient and faster, and it will be three to five times faster than the old sewing machine now."

Xu An nodded. It was a sewing machine he modified based on the sewing machine of later generations, but it is still a drawing and has not been officially put into production.

However, now that the South City Merchants Alliance has been established, the sewing machine can be officially put into production.

With sewing machines and dyeing formulas, the weaving industry of the South City Merchants Alliance will advance by leaps and bounds, and it will not be a problem to occupy the market of the Kyoto nobles.

When Xu An said this, Xu Qingfeng's face remained unchanged, but his eyes were filled with deep shock.

Three to five times? He knew very well what this speed meant.

If it could be promoted nationwide, the tax revenue of the entire Daqian would increase significantly.

However, this matter had to be discussed after His Majesty and Xu Xiao completed their plan, otherwise these good things would become new tools for corrupt officials to exploit the people.

"What about this? What is this?"

Xu Qingfeng pointed to another drawing and asked.

"Oh, this is a simple water pump, which is used to pump water."

Xu An introduced: "If every household in Kyoto installs this kind of water pump, there is no need to waste energy to pull buckets."

"Just connect the water pipe to the groundwater, and press a few times and the water will come up."

So convenient?

Xu Qingfeng frowned slightly. Everything this guy made seemed to be closely related to people's livelihood.

"What about this? What is this?"

Xu Qinfeng pointed to one of the drawings and asked.

Xu An looked at the picture and was immediately shocked.

Damn!

What is this?

This is a Barrett!

Xu An swallowed his saliva and said, "This is a weapon, but with current technology, it is temporarily impossible to manufacture it..."

Before Xu An finished speaking, Xu Qingfeng's fingertips were already on his forehead!

"So, who are you?"
