Chapter 133 Fake Eunuch

Leng Qingyi did not participate in Zhongli Yuan's relocation of the palace. It was just a small matter and Zhongli Yuan could handle it himself.

As soon as Leng Qing finished lunch, he went to Zhou Qi's small courtyard to check Zhou Qi's research speed.

Zhou Qi heard from his servants yesterday about Beidong's attack on the Dongxia border.

He had already developed a powerful product, but it was still not as effective as the emperor had expected.

So since Zhou Qi learned the news yesterday that Beidong and Dongxia were fighting, he has not stopped his research except for eating and defecating.

This made the young eunuch who was in charge of Zhou Qi's daily life a little anxious.

He roughly knew what Zhou Qi did. If Zhou Qi continued like this and ruined his body, he, as a servant, would definitely be in trouble.

Just when I was getting anxious, I looked up and saw a bright yellow color appear in my sight.

He was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, and then his eyes lit up.

Even if Lord Zhou doesn't listen to him, he will definitely listen to the Emperor.

"Your servant pays respects to His Majesty."

"Get up, where is Zhou Qi?"

The young eunuch stood up, hunched over, and dared not look directly at the emperor, but he still mustered up the courage to speak.

"Your Majesty, please persuade Lord Zhou. Ever since he learned yesterday that Beidong was going to attack Dongxia, he has been working day and night on his research. How can he continue like this?"

Leng Qing raised an eyebrow. He didn't expect Zhou Qi to be so anxious about the war.

"Have you eaten?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhou hasn't had lunch yet. He took two buns for breakfast and went into the room to continue his research. I can't persuade him at all."

"I see. I'll go take a look."

Leng Qingyi walked into the room where Zhou Qi was doing research and saw a sloppy man with an unshaven beard.

I guess I didn't get much rest before I knew Beidong was attacking the border.

"Just leave the food outside, I'll eat it later."

Leng Qing curled his lips, really unable to understand why anyone would put eating aside.

"Man is made of iron and rice is made of steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you will feel hungry. Lord Zhou, please take care of your health."

Hearing Leng Qingyi's teasing voice, Zhou Qi looked up and saw that the person coming was not the eunuch but the emperor.

He immediately put down what he was holding and bowed.

"Your Majesty, I am sorry for being disrespectful just now."

"No problem, I came to see how your research is going."

Zhou Qi lowered his head in shame. The drawings the emperor gave him were so detailed, but what he made was still a little lacking.

"Your Majesty, it's still far less powerful than expected."

"Bring it here for me to see."

Leng Qingyi took the sample handed to him by Zhou Qi, walked into the yard and fired two shots at the experimental target.

The power was indeed not as good as she had imagined, but it was comparable to traditional muskets. Zhou Qi was quite skilled.

"Not bad, you're quite capable. This weapon is more powerful than a bow and crossbow, and is much easier to use. It can reduce the cost of training soldiers."

Zhou Qi didn't expect that he would be praised even though he didn't achieve the effect the emperor wanted. He was a little flattered.

"I am stupid. I have only managed to accomplish this in two months. Your Majesty, please forgive me for making a fool of myself."

"Don't be so self-deprecating. You know that your research has put Dongxia ahead by hundreds of years."

Zhou Qi didn't quite understand what the emperor meant, but he was relieved to see that he was quite satisfied.

"Lord Zhou, you must know that you are the only one in Dongxia who can research this thing. Perhaps you are the key to changing Dongxia's fate. If you fall, no one will be able to take over your work."

Zhou Qi felt a little ashamed. As a grown-up, he should know what is important and what is not.

"Yes, Your Majesty is right. It is I who am narrow-minded."

"Okay, go eat first, then have a good sleep. When you wake up, take the sword I have in my hand and ask the person I approved to make a thousand of them."

"Your Majesty, is it needed on the frontier battlefield?"

"It will take some time to train soldiers to use new weapons. You don't have to rush. You won't need this weapon for a while, so just study it slowly."

"Yes, I will do my best."

Leng Qing patted Zhou Qi's shoulder to show encouragement.

"Good health always comes first. You should carefully consider how important you are to Dongxia."

"Yes, I will never take my body lightly again."

After Leng Qing left the courtyard where Zhou Qi was, he suddenly noticed a gaze and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Dark Three."

An San, who had just come out of the dungeon and was about to stretch his muscles, suddenly got approached by someone. This was like walking into a trap.

If Leng Qingyi could sense it, An San could naturally sense it as well. Within half a minute, he came over with a man dressed as a eunuch with a bruised face and nose.

"Your Majesty, please spare me. I was just looking at you out of curiosity. Your Majesty, please spare me."

Leng Qing glanced up and down at the other person and could tell that this person was not a eunuch at all!

"Dark Three."

Leng Qingyi only needed to glance at An San to understand what his master meant.

A monkey stole peaches and caught the other monkey off guard.

A terrifying scream echoed outside Zhou Qi's courtyard.

A large number of birds on the palace walls were frightened and flew away.

It also attracted Zhou Qi and the young eunuch who were just about to eat.

Seeing a man in black standing next to the emperor, holding a young eunuch with a bruised face and nose, Zhou Qi and the young eunuch roughly knew what had happened.

Leng Qingyi noticed someone approaching from behind and turned around to see that it was Zhou Qi and the other man. He raised his hand and pointed at the young eunuch being carried by An San.

"Do you know this man?"

The man was beaten black and blue by An San and was indeed hard to recognize.

But the young eunuch serving in Zhou Qi's courtyard recognized it after taking a closer look.

"Your Majesty, I recognize this man. He is the eunuch in the Imperial Kitchen who has been delivering meals to Lord Zhou these past few days."

An San lifted the man up and it was another monkey stealing peaches.

This action made Zhou Qi and the young eunuch squeeze their legs together.

But the two also realized from An San's actions and the bulging ball in An San's hand that this person was not a real eunuch.

After realizing this, the two of them looked at the emperor with fear, who had a bad look on his face.

"Your Majesty, this is...?"

"He started coming here to deliver meals to Mr. Zhou from that day on."

Leng Qing displayed the aura of an emperor, which made Zhou Qi and the young eunuch beside him feel weak in the knees.

"Your Majesty, it was about five days ago."

Leng Qingyi stared at the young eunuch with sharp eyes without saying a word.

How could an ordinary eunuch working in the palace withstand such a gaze?

With a plop, he knelt straight down on the bluestone slab.

"Your Majesty, I have only met him a few times when serving food. I had no idea he was a fake eunuch."

According to Leng Qingyi's judgment, this little eunuch really has nothing to do with the person caught by An San.

But we still can't let our guard down. Zhou Qi's research is of great importance. If someone with ulterior motives plagiarizes it and uses it against Dongxia, it will be a huge disaster.
