Chapter 1103 Weiguo’s Sudden Change
When the water arrived, Niu Youdao took the kettle and began to pour water into the imitation Wuliangguo.
After that, the orb fragments hung by the silk thread were stuffed into the counterfeit. After checking the light transmittance, Niu Youdao smiled and began to tie the other end of the silk thread to the breach of the counterfeit, so that the orb fragments inside were suspended. Hang it in the imitation, and then carefully fuse the broken parts with magic.
After the complete sealing was successful, Niu Youdao took the carving knife in his hand again and carefully carved the fusion point to perfect the imitation.
When it was finished, he put down the carving knife. Niu Youdao threw the imitation out and said with a smile: "Let's see how it goes."
Heiyun took it and held it in his palm. Everyone present was stunned.
It's not that they have ever seen the Infinite Fruit. None of the fox clan of their generation have seen it. What makes them stunned is that this thing seems to be alive.
There is a faint red light seeping out from the grooves on the uneven surface. Under the change of light perception, the object seems to be breathing or its heart is beating.
The black cloud holding the thing in his hand could feel the reason for this wonder. He could feel the orb fragments hanging inside the counterfeit swaying. The light that seemed to be breathing was precisely because the orb fragments swayed in the water. The illusion that people create.
Looking at the carvings on the counterfeit, it looks rough, but every rough spot is actually carved manually. This exquisite craftsmanship made Heiyun exclaimed: "Niu Youdao, I didn't expect you to have such skills. .”
Niu Youdao chuckled and said: "I have been interested in imitations before. It's just a small skill, but it can still impress you, right?"
Heiyun looked at it carefully: "The thing is well made, but you ask us whether it is good or not. We have never seen what the infinite fruit looks like. You have to know in your mind whether it looks like it or not."
Niu Youdao: "As long as you don't stand too close and look at it, it should be possible to mistake the fake for the real. To be honest, I am an expert in this regard!"
Heiyun shook the thing in his hand, "If I'm not wrong, the breath-like brilliance of this thing should be produced when the fragments of the orb hanging inside are shaking. If it doesn't move, people may notice the problem. Come on. Doesn’t the Infinite Fruit also need to be shaken to have this sense of light?”
Niu Youdao: "That's why I suspended the fragments inside so that they can easily sway inside to produce a similar sense of light. The purpose of adding water is to make the light emitted more realistic, and also to slow down the swaying strength of the fragments inside. Prevent fragments from hitting the interior and causing easily detectable noises.”
"As for whether people will notice the problem, I have observed the situation at the Wuliang Fruit Tree site, and it should not be a big problem. Because there is a crow general guarding it, as long as someone approaches, the crow general will immediately appear, and the aura of the crow general when it appears will cause A certain degree of swaying is enough to confuse people who are close to check. If no one is close to check, it doesn't matter whether the light is still."
"It was after this on-site observation that I became confident after coming out of Wuliang Garden. That's why I immediately found you and asked you to prepare materials for counterfeiting."
"The situation at the scene, unless Wu Chang comes in person to control the Crow General, the people in the Wuliang Garden can only observe visually. The Crow General does not recognize his relatives, and others cannot approach at all. If they approach forcefully, the Crow General will destroy the Wuliang Fruit."
"If there is a situation where someone approaches the tentacles of the Infinite Fruit to check, there is nothing you can do. No matter how realistic the imitation is, it is useless, so your worries are unnecessary."
Heiyun looked at the things in his hands and said, "Since you are sure, it is naturally a good thing. Do you want to make eleven more?"
Niu Youdao: "Make twelve more. This one is just a trial sample. The authentic carving needs to be more careful and delicate. There are also silk threads hanging inside. I'm worried that they won't be reliable after being soaked in water for a long time. You can find something reliable. Here comes the thread."
Heiyun immediately waved his hand and told people to do as he was told.
Niu Youdao sat back on the stone table again and worked hard to make it.
He can't stay here forever, otherwise he will arouse the suspicion of Piaomiao Pavilion, so he must hurry up and complete the work.
Others had already seen the production process once, and they all started to cooperate. Some got powder from the stone wall, some got water, and some prepared resin, trying to minimize Niu Youdao's troublesome process.
…
In the Imperial Palace of Weiguo, Taiwei Nan Renyu entered the imperial study and bowed respectfully to Xuan Chengtian who was sitting behind the case.
Xuan Chengtian was not polite. He raised his hand to indicate that there was no need to be polite, and said directly: "I recruited the Taiwei because I have something I want to talk to him about... The Taiwei holds an important position and has worked hard for many years. It is time for him to enjoy peace and happiness. .Does the Lieutenant understand what I mean?"
This sudden appearance made Nan Renyu's heart skip a beat. This was asking him to hand over his military power.
It's not a promise, and it's not a refusal. He was caught off guard, and he immediately said vaguely: "I understand, I will go back and prepare now."
Xuan Chengtian felt angry as soon as he heard this, "What else do you need to prepare for this matter? I just ask you whether you agree or not!"
Nan Renyu's face was solemn, and he slowly raised his hands and said: "I am old, and I am afraid of delaying the state affairs. I sincerely ask your Majesty to choose another worthy person!"
Xuan Chengtian smiled, "Since it is the Taiwei who takes the initiative to resign, I will definitely consider it carefully. Please step down first!"
"Yes! I retire!" Nan Renyu took a few steps back, then turned around and left, with a gloomy expression on his face.
Xuan Chengtian was watching with a smile. Unexpectedly, before Nan Renyu had taken a few steps, the guards suddenly rushed out and pinned Nan Renyu down on the spot.
Before Xuan Chengtian could realize what was going on, Nan Renyu, who was pinned down, turned around in surprise and said loudly: "Your Majesty..."
Before he finished speaking, someone covered his mouth. Someone among the guards had already drawn a sword, and stabbed Nan Renyu to the core with one sword.
Nan Renyu's eyes widened with disbelief, and blood gurgled out of his chest.
Xuan Chengtian stood up in shock and said in horror: "What are you doing?"
A graceful figure walked out quickly from the side, it was Concubine Chang, approaching with a gust of fragrance, "How can your majesty be so benevolent as a woman for such a big event?"
Xuan Chengtian was shocked and said: "Did you do it? He has already agreed to resign, why do you want to kill him?"
He was indeed dissatisfied with Nan Renyu. He wanted to remove Nan Renyu's military power, but was stopped by Xuan Wei. At that time, he felt a knot in his heart and has always been resentful about it. But he didn't dare to kill easily, as long as Nan Renyu obeyed.
Now that Nan Renyu had agreed, a murderer suddenly came here. He really didn't know how to explain to the emperor's sister later.
Concubine Chang knelt down in front of him and said in a painful voice: "Your Majesty, he is obviously perfunctory with you. Have you forgotten the lessons learned from the past? Once he is let out of the palace, he will immediately go to the emperor's sister to complain. Do you think the emperor's sister will agree? Really? If the Imperial Sister doesn’t agree, most of the backbone of the Weiguo Army are confidants promoted by the Imperial Sister and Nan Renyu. As long as the Imperial Sister raises her arms and the army responds, who can withdraw Nan Renyu? "
"Your Majesty, everything has been prepared everywhere, all that is left is your Majesty's decree! Now that Nan Renyu has been killed, if Your Majesty does not make up his mind, once Nan Renyu's generals hear the news and rebel, a large army will surround the palace in an instant! "
Xuan Chengtian breathed quickly and said, "How do you explain to the emperor sister?"
"Your Majesty!" Chang Guifei said loudly: "As long as your Majesty has the military power, the imperial sister cannot even enter the palace, and there is no need to give an explanation. As long as your majesty has the military power, even the three major factions of the Wei Kingdom will stand by your majesty. Your Majesty, the news of Nan Renyu's death cannot be kept secret for long. The arrow has to be fired! Otherwise, my concubine's heart will be a death penalty. Once the emperor sister controls the situation in time, not only will my concubine not be able to escape death, but the emperor in anger will also die. I’m afraid I’m going to destroy His Majesty too!”
"Your Majesty, you are the true king of a country!"
…
Golden wings flew out from the palace one by one and rushed to various parts of the Wei Kingdom to deliver the decree.
…
At the center of Wu Mansion, the successor in command of Wu Mansion suddenly kicked open a door, and everyone suddenly rushed in together.
Jiang Shiji, who was sitting upright and looking through intelligence from various places, was startled. She quickly rolled over and rolled to the sword stand. She pulled out the sword with a swish sound and pointed it at the comer. "Zhou Gao, what do you want to do?"
Zhou Gao is now the commander of Wu Mansion.
After Xuan Wei gradually handed over power, control of Wu Mansion has been handed over to Xuan Chengtian. Not surprisingly, Xuan Chengtian used the person he wanted.
Although Jiang Shiji abdicated, Xuan Wei arranged for her to serve in the Wu Mansion. To some extent, she was helping Xuan Wei pay attention to intelligence news.
Zhou Gaoliang held out the imperial edict in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has an edict, Jiang Shiji, do you want to resist it?"
Seeing the imperial edict, Jiang Shiji was shocked and doubtful, and slowly put down the sword in her hand.
The people who came in immediately swarmed over and detained Jiang Shiji on the spot.
Jiang Shiji wanted to find out what was going on, but Zhou Gao strode forward, drew his sword, and with a cold light, Jiang Shiji was killed on the spot in a pool of blood.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Gao strode out and ordered his men to attack everywhere. Using the imperial edict as a basis, they massacred Jiang Shiji's people, or in other words, cleaned up Xuanwei's people in Wu Mansion...
Not only Wu Mansion, but the entire capital of Weiguo seemed to be in chaos.
Nan Renyu's confidants will be trapped and killed almost at the same time, suspected of rebellion!
An imperial edict ordered the guarding mage to not figure out what was going on for a while. By the time the guarding mage figured out what was going on, it was already too late!
Not only in the capital, as soon as Nan Renyu was killed in the palace, a report was immediately sent to various places. When some people came to their senses, many guards in various places were brutally murdered due to the sudden change.
Just as Concubine Chang Guifei said, everything has been prepared for a long time, or it has been planned for a long time under the command of someone, and has been prepared at every node. All that is left is an imperial edict from Xuan Chengtian...
Tianwei Mansion has been surrounded by a large army.
An angry Xuanwei strode out, but was intercepted by the defenders outside. Ximen Qingkong was furious.
However, Xuan Wei grabbed him, pulled out Tang Yi's sword and borrowed it for use. She walked directly towards Ru Lin's sword and spear facing her, and said sternly: "Who dares to stop me!"
The guards didn't dare to offend, but when faced with her approaching, they all subconsciously retreated.
The general who had just taken over the command looked around and found that he was the only one facing him. He immediately turned his head and shouted loudly: "No retreat!"
Xuan Wei waved her hand and struck a sword, and a stream of blood spurted out from the general's neck, covering Xuan Wei's body and face.
The general looked miserable, covered his neck and fell to the ground.
Xuanwei, whose face was dripping with blood, looked like a bloody peach blossom, with a solemn look on her face. She raised her sword to open a way, and the besieging army took the initiative to make way.
