Chapter 767: Saving the Family in a Roundabout Way

"Too late?" Goldman said unhappily, "What do you mean?"

"The Privy Council of Qi is an example." The old lady said word by word, "They failed to gather heavy troops in the first place, and the result was a complete defeat - Jinxia was only given about half a year, and before that, it was just a remote salt city."

"You attribute it all to the progress of mechanical technology?"

"I dare not say all, but at least more than 80% of the reasons." Gongshu Wang took two steps forward and said in a deep voice, "Sir, facts have proved that this technology has brought a qualitative leap to Jinxia City, and its development speed is faster than you and I imagined. If you hesitate any longer, I estimate that Qixing will follow the footsteps of the Privy Council of Qi——"

"Insolent!" Goldman finally couldn't bear it anymore. He scolded and interrupted the other party, "You only have mechanical technology in your eyes, but Qixing needs to see further! Prioritizing the attack on Yama Island is our primary goal, and this will not change. You go down!"

"Sir Gao..." The old lady seemed to want to argue a few more words.

But the Heavenly Envoy was tired of this discussion. The bipedal mechanical beasts and iron ball crossbows of Jinxia City were indeed powerful, but Qixing was not without countermeasures. Moreover, there were immortal tools and magic above mechanical arts and magic tools. The Gate of Heavenly Dao had to fall into the hands of the Privy Council in any case to truly make people feel at ease. When the "Heavenly Court" was awakened, Jinxia City was just a thing in the bag.

"You should remember your identity, Lord Gongshu." Goldman picked up the teacup, "Don't forget that before the action day arrives, the Ministry of Works needs to provide the army with 100 Chigui. This is the military order issued by the Gongshu family."

"..." Gongshu Wang was silent for a moment, and finally knocked on his cane, turned around and walked out of the study, "We will not disappoint Qixing's expectations."

Back at the station, she waved her hand, let her assistants disperse, and hobbled alone to a house full of various utensils.

The two young men in the room soon came over.

"Grandma, how is it?"

"Did Lord Gao accept your proposal?"

The questioner was one tall and one short, both under the age of eighteen. The short one was still childish, with a youthful look between his eyebrows and eyes.

The old lady shook her head and reached out to touch their heads - one of them was called Gongshu Feng and the other was called Gongshu Jin. Although they were not sons of the clan, they were selected into the clan because of their talent, intelligence and intelligence, and received the same education as the son of the head of the family. This is exactly why the Gongshu family stood out from many mechanical families and has become more and more vibrant. As long as they have the ability, the family will not bury them.

Bringing the two out this time is also a kind of experience. Although they are not very old, they can already serve as the technical chief officers of the first bureau of the Ministry of Industry. What they lack is a little practical experience. Now that the court of Qi State is empty, and the Mo family is being excluded because of Mo Yun, it just gives them an opportunity to intervene.

"Sure enough... those people don't understand the meaning of mechanical art." Gongshu Feng sighed.

"There's nothing we can do about it, right?" Gongshu Jin's expression was much more relaxed. "Even when we got the sample of the iron ball crossbow, we were greatly surprised. If you are not a person who specializes in mechanical engineering, it would be difficult to understand the changes."

"But is Miss Mo really that amazing?" Gongshu Feng said unconvinced. "In the past four or five years of appreciation meetings, I have never heard of this person. If she is so amazing, the Mo family should have publicized it to everyone."

"She broke with the family a long time ago." The old lady spread her hands.

"Eh? What's the reason?"

"The skills of the Mohist school are passed down to males, not females."

"This..." Gongshu Feng was stunned for a long time, then curled his lips and said, "The Mohist school seems to be just so-so."

"I can understand this." Gongshu Wang walked to a master's chair and sat down slowly, "If the Mohist school put all its efforts into training her, but she was eventually married by the Gongshu family, it would be really... very interesting."

"But grandma, aren't you-"

"That's because I swore to never marry." She waved her hand, "Okay, this is not the point. The point is that Mo Yun has left the Mohist school and followed the princess to Jinxia City. Feng'er, even if you want to marry her, I'm afraid you don't have much chance."

Gongshu Feng's face suddenly turned red, "I, I never thought of marrying her! I just want to compete with Miss Mo to see how good she is!"

"At present, the situation is not optimistic." Gongshu Jin held his head with both hands, "The people above still only regard mechanical engineering as a tool to win the war, but Jinxia City is willing to entrust the entire mechanical engineering bureau to Sister Mo Yun, and the development type is not just weapons. From the attitude alone, the Gongshu family is at a disadvantage."

Gongshu Feng slapped his brother on the back of the head, "Grandma... Is there any other way? I heard that the Yuheng Envoy among the Seven Stars is the most core figure. Maybe we can ask the head of the family to make suggestions..."

"No!" Gongshu Jin shouted immediately.

"It's really not possible. It can be said to be sincere words on the front line, but it is interference in government affairs in the court." The old lady stroked her cane and said, "Even so, Mr. Gao showed impatience, which proves that we have stepped on the edge of crossing the line, and there will be no good results if we go further."

"I was rash." Gongshu Feng whispered.

"But... there are other ways." She changed the subject.

"What methods?" The two asked at the same time.

"I heard from the spies that everyone can enter the school in Jinxia City, and you can complete your studies in as little as one month and join the Mechanism Bureau." Gong Shuwang looked at the two of them, "As for academic issues, you should also read the books copied by the spies. Passed... The content is very interesting and exciting, but it is not too complicated in terms of depth. It is at least easier to master than the Four Books and Five Classics. With your ability, passing the examination is basically a sure thing."

This sentence made the two brothers freeze in place.

"Grandma, grandma, you mean, let us be spies?"

"Isn't this... not very ethical?"

Stealing one's own skills is a taboo in any industry. Once word gets out, the public loser will definitely become the laughing stock of hundreds of families.

"How long has it been since you started talking about this?" Gong Shuwang smiled and shook his head, "I'm just going to ask you a question, do you want to know the secret of this technology?"

"think!"

This answer requires almost no thought.

"That's enough." The old lady nodded with satisfaction, "Seven Star's spies are all fools, and they can't get into the eyes of Jinxia Machinery Bureau. It's a fool's errand to expect them to find out the inside information. Only people like you, Only then can you truly get close to Mo Yun. I will assign you a new identity, an identity that is impossible to find out. You must also forget that you are Gongshu disciples, do not pass on any information during your studies, and treat yourself as a real student. By."

She paused and sighed, "This is a race against Jinxia City. In addition to the one-month transition to school, the shorter the time to enter the Mechanism Bureau and gain Mo Yun's trust, the better. Even if there is no way to get ahead, , the public loser must at least achieve a balance of power, do you understand?”

The two looked at each other and lowered their heads seriously.

"Yes, disciple, take the order!"
