Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

"However, isn't the current size a bit too big?" Xia Yuxiao asked.

This thing is too big, let alone the ballista itself, the "shaft" of the arrow used is as thick as a child's wrist, and ordinary people have to hold it with both hands to pick it up, and if they want to install it on the ballista If not, at least one more person has to carry it together.

The weight of the entire ballista can be imagined.

"Yes, this is also the biggest shortcoming. But it doesn't matter, anyway, the purpose of our building this thing is to place it on our dragon boat in the future."

Tianshi pointed to the miniature version of the dragon boat that was being tested not far away. Only then did Qin Ji know what the rows of holes and the top grooves on the small dragon boat were for...

Master Da Xia's mind is quite old-fashioned, with great strength, flying bricks, and giant ships with cannons. Don't mention it, it is really a suitable idea in this era.

"That's good, otherwise, if this thing is installed in our army on a large scale, the treasury may not be able to afford so much investment." Xia Yuxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Things are good things, but they are very expensive at first sight. She is very supportive of equipping new gadgets, but new gadgets can't burn too much money...

"We will consider more advanced ballistas in the later stage, and we will also reduce the cost as much as possible. Now our celestial masters are already thinking about it."

"Oh, by the way." After Xia Yuxiao finished reading this, she suddenly remembered the most important thing she had to do this time, "You Tianji Mansion, why didn't you tell me the progress of these things recently?"

"Ah?" The Celestial Master was obviously stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, isn't the Taiwei in charge of our Great Xia's military?"

"The army is in charge of the Taiwei, so you don't even talk to me at all?" Xia Yuxiao was almost amused by this group of celestial masters with strange brain circuits, "Who is raising your celestial master mansion?" ? Is it the royal family or the Taiwei?"

"But......"

Realizing that the Celestial Master, who seemed to have really failed to do well this time, was a little aggrieved, he looked at the helpless Qin Ji, then at Xia Yuxiao, and said in a low voice:

"But, isn't the Taiwei who is engaged to His Majesty also from the royal family?"

"you......"

Xia Yuxiao was so blocked that she couldn't speak anymore.

She turned her head to look at Qin Ji angrily, and pointed to the aggrieved Celestial Master:

"Qin Ji, do you think this is plausible!?"

......

That's not what I should say, Your Majesty...

sad exam process

Thank you for your concern. Those who have read the previous chapters should know that I am going to take the teaching qualification test.

After the exam yesterday, I was actually a bit numb, that is, the process from going to the exam room to getting out of the exam was not smooth at all.

I made a lot of preparations, and there are a lot of courses taught in high school, so I mainly looked at the types of courses that accounted for the vast majority.I thought it was basically enough. . .

As a result, when I drew questions, I drew types that I had never taught. . .The probability of being drawn by that type is quite low, and it feels numb the moment it is drawn.

I have prepared well for the exam. Even though the probability of getting this class is very low, I have a general look at it in advance to know how to write lesson plans and teaching procedures.

But I have never taught this kind of class, and I haven't practiced this kind of class much, so the content is relatively empty, and compared with my usual teaching, it is obviously insufficient.

Anyway, I am very dissatisfied with my exam this time, and I don't know if I can pass it. Yesterday, I was a little bit emotional.I don’t know if everyone has that feeling, but there is a sense of aggrieved feeling that I can’t exert all my strength (in fact, my state was relatively natural and smooth during the trial lecture, but it was the kind of enthusiasm that I couldn’t get into the class).

Rather than saying that my mentality exploded because I did not do well in the exam, it would be better to say that my mentality exploded because I was obviously able to devote myself to the class and finished a class satisfactorily, but I couldn't devote myself to it.

But today I started to continue to eat, drink and have fun again. Anyway, I finished the exam. If I didn’t pass the exam, I was not prepared enough. If I passed the exam, it is naturally a good thing.

Then there is nothing to worry about for the time being, the holidays are coming, I want to make a big splash!

Chapter 20 Training

Qin Ji couldn't say anything at all.

After all, he has no idea what kind of missions the celestial masters in the celestial master's mansion have and what the details are. know how much.

So he couldn't say anything to reconcile it at all, and he didn't know what the relationship between Xia Yuxiao and Tianshi Mansion was like.

But one thing is absolute: Tianshi Mansion is very important to Xia Yuxiao and even Daxia as a whole. Otherwise, Daxia will not maintain the existence of Tianshi Mansion for a long time, and it is even more impossible to set up Tianji Division in Tianshi Mansion. organization out.

As far as Qin Ji is concerned, it is not easy for him to get involved in the matter of Tianshi Mansion.

In the end, after getting the other party's promise to tell Xia Yuxiao next time, the two continued to look at other studies with great interest.

"Your Majesty, I used to think that the main task of the Tianshi Mansion was to help the empire maintain peace, but now it seems that this is not the case."

While the celestial master was going to confirm the safety of a test site not far away, Qin Ji asked.

In his impression, the celestial masters seem to do everything. Apart from occasionally coming out to maintain the stability of the empire, they are also responsible for etiquette, research, cultivation of mysteries, and many other affairs.No matter how you think about it, the Celestial Master doesn't seem like an imperial mascot.

Therefore, this time, he also hopes to get some reliable information from Xia Yuxiao, at least to get some superficial information.

"You want to know about the Tianshi Mansion?"

Xia Yuxiao asked.

"Yes."

"It's nothing unusual, it's just that the ancestors of the Xia family and some of the earliest friends put together a department, which later became the Heavenly Master's Mansion." Xia Yuxiao didn't want to say much about it.

"That's it."

"Why, are you interested in Tianshi Mansion?"

"That's not true. The main reason is that there is always a layer of mystery in the Tianshi Mansion. As courtiers, we can often see the various activities of the Great Xia that the celestial masters participated in. But for us, we have nothing to do with the Tianshi Mansion. Nothing."

"...I know what you think, it's quite normal, I think, if I were to be so curious about Tianshi Mansion," Xia Yuxiao said, "But Qin Ji, sometimes , it’s better to know less.”

"I understand that I will not continue to intervene in the affairs of the Tianshi Mansion in the future."

Qin Ji smiled and gave his own answer.

"That's not what I meant..." Xia Yuxiao sighed, "I mean, knowing a little less is sometimes considered a relief for you."

Qin Ji's mind turned quickly.

He clearly remembered that Xia Yuxiao had communicated with the True Ancestor of the Blood Race back then, and judging from the conversations between the two sides, they seemed to have something in common in terms of their respective goals.

Xia Yuxiao was really okay with him, she didn't reveal any information about the Tianshi Mansion, nor was she dissatisfied with his questioning about the confidentiality, but she patiently advised him not to know something.

At least at that moment, Qin Ji felt that the emperor was indeed thinking of himself.

However, Siyue once learned about the past history of some blood races. Judging from the history of the development of the blood race, the development of the blood race is very peculiar-in the earliest records of the blood race, including various paintings handed down from the land of Daxia, in In the era when human beings did not have the current writing and art, the vampires already had the instinct to suck blood.

Numerous stone carvings and murals have proved this point.This is enough to prove that the blood-sucking instinct of the vampire seems to have been inherited from ancient times to the present.In the records of the blood race, in the earliest memories of those true ancestors, they also have the instinct to suck blood.

According to the blood race, the blood race is considered to be an "attack race" created by the ancestors to limit and erase creatures, but...

Is this really the original intention of the "god" they believed in, Yuan Zu, or is it related to the true ancestor?

As for the Tianshi Mansion, in Qin Ji's view, no matter how whitewashed it is on the surface, this place is still a gathering place for the strongest group of monsters in Daxia.

The reason is very simple - Qin Ji can feel that even those disciples of the Heavenly Master who are under attack are definitely not inferior to him in strength.

Why did Great Xia gather so many celestial masters?Up to now, the celestial masters in the celestial master's mansion are not willing to split up, but still get together. Aren't they worried that the celestial masters will subvert the court?

And why did the late emperor and Xia Yuxiao keep such a huge standing army?Based on Daxia's current military quality, even if it is dealing with the church, dismantling half of the army is enough to deal with its siege.Not to mention that Daxia still has a large number of "reserve army" and many simply trained militias formed by the common people during the slack season.

Reminiscent of the fact that he and his sister came here by time travel, and that they came to this world just after Xia Yuxiao came to the throne, Qin Ji felt that everything in this world was very wrong.

"Okay, don't think about life. After the wedding in the future, maybe I trust you so much that I will tell you some secrets? Don't be so hasty."

Xia Yuxiao smiled and patted him on the shoulder to let him recover from the state of thinking about life, then turned his head and continued to visit with the celestial master.

.........................

Saar dynasty, southern border.

On the school field, Wuheya stepped on a strong Thrall soldier with ease.

"Is there another one? If not, let's continue training."

She looked back at the group of Thrall soldiers with bruised noses and swollen faces behind her, and asked with a gentle smile.

There was silence on the school grounds, and no one dared to speak.

Just now, the "little girl" of the royal family, because the soldiers refused to accept her leadership, directly beat her down eleven thorns with bare hands...

And the most important thing is that she didn't use spells, she just strengthened her body with aura.

It is completely crushing in terms of technology and cultivation.

Facing the silent soldiers, Wuheya tapped the edge of the railing lightly, and then continued:

"I know you are very dissatisfied with me, because I am a woman, and you think that what I did in Daxia was very embarrassing to you Thrall people, right?"

She knew very well why these soldiers were unwilling to accept her command, and she also knew very well how to cut off the stinky problems of these soldiers.

"So, today I will tell you why we Thralls lose face outside."

Speaking of this, Uhya showed a very contemptuous smile, her palm was pinched on the wooden railing, and the railing let out a painful cry of creaking.

"Because you gang of 'thar wolves' can't even fight a battle that will allow our country to be qualified to negotiate with others on an equal footing."

Chapter 21 School Field

For the Thralls, being questioned by a woman is a very incredible thing, but being confronted bluntly by a woman is really unbearable.

Obviously, these Thrall soldiers were very dissatisfied, especially after being teased by her.but......

Can't beat it.

Although Wuheya doesn't seem to have much strength, she is indeed far superior to most people in the army in terms of cultivation. Even those officers who are also practicing are hardly able to be at the same level as her .

The soldiers naturally dare not speak out.Besides, so what if you can beat it?

She is from the royal family, Brother Ban's younger sister, and from the royal family, even if she is a woman, at least on the surface, she still has to show enough respect. You can dissatisfy her in your heart, and you can find reasons for not cooperating, but you can't be considered an insult to the royal family. matter.

In this regard, the Wuhe clan—the royal family is quite protective, even if this person's status in the royal family is quite low, as long as he is a member of the royal family, he is within the scope of their protection.No matter how your own family arranges, outsiders have no right to disrespect them.

Therefore, no one dares to really disrespect it.If Wuheya hadn't said that she wanted to compete, everyone wouldn't have dared to fight her.

"What are you looking at me for? Are you unhappy?" Wuheya picked up the dagger that fell under her feet, and then casually played with it twice. The chief culprit of human humiliation. However, what I want to say is very simple-the so-called diplomacy is as if I am standing here talking with you now."

"I beat you all to the ground, so I have the confidence to stand here and laugh at you; if I was beaten to the ground by you just now, then I would just leave with a few words in despair. Used in diplomacy, It's actually the same. It doesn't matter if you don't understand diplomacy, but at least you understand the war just now."

Seeing the displeased but unable to refute the faces of these soldiers who will temporarily belong to her in the future, Wuheya was not angry.

The Saar people have shortcomings, but naturally they also have advantages.The Saar people were able to flourish for a while, which shows that she and her compatriots are not good at each other.
