Zi Yan opened the door and walked in. Inside the room, Yu'er was already sitting cross-legged on the couch, with many bottles and cans placed on the table in front of her.

Every time Zi Yan sees these bottles and jars, she gets an inexplicable chill all over her body.

Because she knew that these ordinary-looking bottles might contain some scary things like poisonous insects.

"Sister Ziyan, are you sure Xingyun wants to go into seclusion?" Yu'er raised her eyes and asked.

"He said so himself, but I saw that he went to the factory to find Wan Qingchun. Who knows if he took the opportunity to take a vacation." Zi Yan obviously disagreed with this.

However, for the sake of money, she was still willing to take over the matter.

"Then let him go. This time I will take Wang Hao with me and call a team of secret guards. We can go to Wo Fo Mountain tomorrow night."

While Yu'er was talking, she opened one of the long boxes, revealing a layer of white bugs squirming inside.

Just taking a glance at it, Zi Yan could feel a chill running down his spine, and the hairs on his hair were about to stand up.

Not scared, but disgusted.

After all, this strange bug looks similar to a certain kind of cave maggot, both of which are so ugly and disgusting.

"Are you ready? Did Madam send you the soft hedgehog armor?" Zi Yan could only hold back her nausea and not look at the things in front of her.

"They were all sent here. They were customized according to my body shape. I tried them out and found that ordinary crossbows, as long as they are not too powerful, can basically block the outside." Yu'er said.

"When the time comes, put on a thin layer of armor for double protection. As long as you pay attention to your eyes, you can greatly reduce the danger."

Seeing Yu'er put away the box again, Zi Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile on her face.

"I'll go see Wang Sa during the day tomorrow. It's said that he's doing well. He's enjoying himself a little and doesn't want to come back." Zi Yan added.

"The person who is with him is called Fu Yurou. I think as long as he can overcome his problems, these are not important." Yu'er smiled.

"Yes, treatment is the most important thing. I will go over there tomorrow to see if he is okay, then take him to Wo Fo Mountain with me. With him here, I will be more confident."

Zi Yan actually wanted Wang Sa to successfully solve her problems. After all, Wang Sa had amazing talents and could do anything he learned. Even though his strength was not as good as hers, it was not much different. With him here, she would have a powerful helper.

…

That night, Hongxiu perfected Yang Ruoqing's plan and gave it to Jiang Wulang.

After Jiang Wulang got the plan, he came to the Yamen of the Ministry of War early the next morning and handed the plan to Ma Chao.

"Did you finish it so quickly?" Ma Chao glanced at Jiang Wulang and said, "Master Jiang is quite fast."

In response, Jiang Wulang could only twitch his lips and smile, but could not say anything.

But soon I saw Ma Chao's brows furrowed: "What's going on here? Each winner will be rewarded fifty taels of silver?"

Ma Chao was a little dazed. Did he make a mistake somewhere?

You know, the number of each team is close to two hundred people. If everyone is rewarded with fifty taels, it will require more than 10,000 taels.

The money the Ministry of War can provide is only three thousand taels. The reward alone will cost more than ten thousand taels. It is somewhat unreasonable no matter how you look at it.

Jiang Wulang nodded and said: "It is not easy for the sergeants of the Imperial Guard to compete. The winner should naturally be given a certain reward. Otherwise, how can we make them go all out? This is not enough to achieve the effect of troop training, and there are many soldiers in the army.

The soldiers' families are not wealthy, so this money can slightly improve their living conditions."

In fact, Jiang Wulang was not only prepared to give them money, but also prepared more rewards.

That's the trophy. Of course, it's unreliable to have it all made of gold. It would be nice to have a layer of gold on the outside.

Whoever comes first will get the right to keep the trophy.

These rules were naturally designed by Yang Ruoqing. They were not perfect in the National Guard Army, but they have been improved here.

Ma Chao reached out and touched the beard under his mouth. He glanced at Jiang Wulang and said, "The idea is correct. The key is where does the money come from? The Ministry of War really doesn't have enough silver."

Jiang Wulang showed a smile and said: "Don't worry, Master Ma. The money can be obtained by lower officials, so there is no need to come out from the Ministry of War."

"Where did you get the money?" Ma Chao was a little surprised.

"Your Excellency, you should also know that Xiaguan is from the subordinates of Uncle Zhongyong, and my wife's Yang Chamber of Commerce will naturally sponsor this competition." Jiang Wulang explained.

Ma Chao hesitated and said: "This is a military matter. If we have a relationship with the Chamber of Commerce, I'm afraid your Majesty may not agree."

You must know that the imperial guards only belong to the emperor. They guard Kyoto and guard the imperial power. They shoulder extremely important tasks. How can such an army allow other forces to intervene, even Yang Ruoqing, who is on good terms with the emperor?

Chamber of Commerce, I'm afraid the emperor may not agree.

At least, Ma Chao doesn't want to take this responsibility.

There is nothing you can do without money.

Jiang Wulang frowned and said: "Master Ma, I also know the difficulties, but you have to successfully organize this competition, and you can't provide money, nor can others sponsor you. Then I'm afraid I won't be able to handle this job."

Ma Chao actually felt that he had gone too far. If he did this, no one would be able to do anything.

"Well, I'll give you an answer later."

After Ma Chao said that, he turned and left.

In the study room.

Qi Emperor Qi Xingyun was reviewing the memorial. He was holding a pen in his hand, writing and scratching on the paper. He was sighing in his heart that these new gadgets invented by the Science and Technology Garden were very easy to use. At least they were much easier to use and more convenient than the writing brush.

Quick and save time.

At this time, an eunuch came in, saluted Qi Xingyun and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Ma Chaoma, the Minister of War, would like to see you."

Qi Xingyun raised his head and said, "Invite him into the room."

After a while, Ma Chao walked quickly into the study, saluted Qi Xingyun and said: "Your Majesty, I have already prepared the regulations for this competition. Please take a look at it."

Qi Xingyun said calmly: "Send it up."

Qi Xingyun took the memorial, looked at the regulations written in it carefully, and then asked: "Qing family, was this rule drawn up by Jiang Wulang?"

"Your Majesty has a keen eye. It is really Jiang Wulang, your right servant, who made the decision." Ma Chao said respectfully.

"Such a novel method actually did not come from Jiang Wulang, but from Mrs. Zhongyongbo." Qi Xingyun stood up and put his hands behind his back.
