The Book of Heaven

Chapter 291 That Feeling Is Peace of Mind

The fact that Ma Zheng is a prodigy in martial arts has been unanimously affirmed by everyone in the Zhuge family, but in Zhuge Yashan's heart, Ma Zheng's real contribution to the Zhuge family is not for this reason.

For the Zhuge family, there is not much difference whether there is Ma Zheng, the son-in-law who is a martial arts prodigy. It is the priceless treasure that Zhuge Yashan really values.

It is really because these things that are not worth mentioning in the eyes of warriors not only solved the biggest problem faced by the Zhuge family, but also directly increased the production capacity of the Zhuge family workshop by more than two times. The profit gained from the workshop has more than doubled.

Among such huge profits, only [-]% needs to be paid to Ma Zheng, the creator. Zhuge Yashan already feels that he has treated Ma Zheng very badly. Zhuge Mingyue herself did not object, that's why she married her most precious granddaughter to Ma Zheng. On the other hand, it also tied Ma Zheng firmly to the chariot of Zhuge's family.

After all, these production processes proposed by Ma Zheng are not limited to the Zhuge family's workshop. If these processes appear in the hands of Zhuge's competitors in the future, it will be a fatal blow to the Zhuge family. Although Zhuge Yashan did not He had hoped to keep these secrets forever, but he hoped that after winning over Ma Zheng, he could delay the appearance of this kind of production process in the outside world. It would be better to have a buffer of ten years, when the Zhuge family had grown into an indomitable giant. Even if other people have mastered this process, it is impossible to impact the Zhuge family's status.

From this point of view, Zhuge Yashan feels even more guilty towards Ma Zheng. It is precisely because he has a strong apology towards Ma Zheng in his heart that he directly writes down almost all the ins and outs of the matter in the memorial, and even admits it directly. Without Ma Zheng's promotion, Zhuge's family would not be able to produce even half of the ordnance within the time required by the court, even if they worked hard. In other words, they were able to complete the production task ahead of schedule this time. It belongs to Ma Zheng.

This memorial had been sent to Chang'an long before Ma Zheng and Zhuge Mingyue got engaged, and it was directly handed over to His Majesty today.

After reading this memorial, the name that had not been mentioned for a long time was once again talked about by the emperor and a group of close officials.

For half a month, after repeated discussions, the treatment of Ma Zheng finally came to a conclusion. The imperial decree written by His Majesty the current emperor was sent to Bashu and Zhuge's family in a hurry.

At the same time, there were several imperial edicts, which were sent to Tianshui Mawang Mansion, Majia Jiazibao, and four other royal families with different surnames.As for Princess Qingping Liu Xu, she got a copy of the emperor's oral order. After all, the siblings are a family, so there is no need to bother with writing.

After listening to the oral instructions relayed by the eunuch in the palace, a rare smile appeared on Liu Xu's face. When she walked out of the room, she happened to meet Ying Gu with puffy cheeks.

"Where are you going?"

"Of course it's martial arts!"

In more than half a year, Ying Gu's height has risen again. She is almost 15 years old now. In this era, there are not many 15-year-old girls who marry into wives. For example, Liu Xu back then married at the age of 16. , Became a mother at the age of 17.

In order to prevent Ying Gu from thinking about finding Ma Zheng all day long, Liu Xu restricted Ying Gu's actions with the reason of "I can't protect myself". She demanded that unless Ying Gu could cultivate to the level of a third-rate warrior, she would not even think about leaving the Fort Jia. the gate.

Perhaps because of inheriting Liu Xu's good genes, Ying Gu is young but shows an ancient spirit. Thinking that Ma Zheng was almost crushed by her back then, Ying Gu, who is so smart, of course knows her mother's intentions, and at the same time she What is more clear is that as long as Ma Zheng is still a prisoner of the imperial court, he will always face various dangers.

Rather than being a burden to Ma Zheng, it is better to follow the mother's wishes, not to mention being able to help Ma Zheng in a crisis, but at least to be able to ensure his own safety so as not to become a burden.After figuring this out, Ying Gu devoted herself to martial arts training.

Although she used to hate using knives and guns the most, but as a descendant of the royal family, Ying Gu still practiced a fairly advanced health-preserving kung fu freely. The core of this kung fu is the cultivation of the dantian, which is similar to ordinary Like warriors, they are required to cultivate their inner energy.

It's just that for the purpose of maintaining the body, the internal qi cultivated by this kung fu is usually contained in the limbs and bones of the body, even a congenital warrior with strong perception ability may not be able to discover that Ying Gu is a martial arts practitioner.Only after Ying Gu turned to practice martial arts seriously, did these internal qi gradually start to flow in the limbs and bones, becoming the real internal qi that Ying Gu could use.

With the foundation, no lack of advanced martial arts, plus Liu Xu and the Ma family's spare no effort in cultivation, Yinggu's martial arts practice can be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds. In just half a year, she has already faintly broken through the realm, from being unrecognized to becoming a third-rate master.

"Can you stop practicing for a while?"

For Liu Xu, a mother, it is a good thing that her daughter is so talented in martial arts, but after seeing Ying Gu's hard work day after day, Liu Xu also felt extremely distressed in his heart. Liu Xu didn't know how to face Ying Gu.

"No, this is the rule set by you, mother, don't we have to abide by the rules?"

There was a smile on Ying Gu's obviously mature face, but a sly gleam flashed in her two shining eyes.

Knowing a child is better than a mother, if Ying Gu is a little fox, then Liu Xu is a vixen, and immediately saw through the little girl's mind, spit: "Oh? If you don't want to hear it, forget it, anyway, it's related to Ma Zheng Good news, you go to practice, and then come and see if I am free."

"do not!"

As soon as she heard that the news was related to Ma Zheng, Ying Gu immediately jumped three feet high on the spot, then grabbed Liu Xu's arm and kept rubbing her head on it, "Mother, you are the best in the world!" What about my mother, hurry up and tell me what good news it is."

"Didn't someone ignore me just now?" Liu Xu said angrily.

"Where? Who would dare to ignore such a beautiful woman, how could it be possible!" Ying Gu stared, as if there was a third person present.Liu Xu couldn't help but chuckled, and said, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you, but you really care about Ma Zheng so much?"

Speaking of this question, Ying Gu was also a little dazed, and after a moment of hesitation, she finally opened her mouth and said, "Mother, I don't know, anyway, I know that since I grew up, I only feel happy when I get along with him." Ah, I'm happy when he's around me, whether he's talking to me or not, and more importantly."

"What's more important?" Liu Xu continued to ask.

"It's not just happiness, in fact, that feeling should be called peace of mind!" After a long time, Ying Gu finally said the answer deep in her heart.
