After stepping on all the noble families, the empress asked me to marry her?

Chapter 10 How to do it

The officials in the court were shocked.

Even Ji Qingluo, who had a calm expression, was now filled with astonishment.

No one expected it.

Chen Huaixin actually has this skill!
“Let ordinary soldiers take to the sky.”

"this thing."

"What on earth is this?!"

Ji Qingluo opened his eyes wide and looked at the spherical object.

She could tell what this thing was made of, but how could such a simple material allow ordinary people to touch the sky?
Or.

Is there a key hidden in it that she doesn't know about? !
"It should be... the latter!"

Ji Qingluo thought so.

If a piece of cloth, a brazier, or a bamboo basket could really send a person to the sky, why didn't anyone discover this in such a long time? !

It's impossible that so many heroes throughout history have failed to notice such a simple thing!
"but."

"even so."

"Chen Huaixin's talent... is simply amazing!"

Ji Qingluo thought with emotion in his heart.

From military training methods to earth-shaking things, to this thing that can let ordinary people fly into the sky, how much more is he hiding?
Ji Qingluo...is very curious!

"If the immortals saw this, I wonder what they would think."

One of the officials recovered from the shock and spoke.

His words were like a stone thrown into a pond, which immediately caused ripples and made others sigh in admiration.

"Three hundred years ago, only immortals could touch the sky. I didn't expect that now, even ordinary people can touch it. If the immortals knew, they would definitely be very pleased."

"Chen Huaixin is a man of great talent! Your Majesty! I suggest that after the deduction of the divine weapon is completed, Chen Huaixin should be immediately recruited into the court. Such a talented person should not be left alone in the countryside!"

"Haha! Chen Huaixin originally came to Chang'an City to take the exam, but was blocked by some people and has no chance until now. As for who those people are, I should know them. It will be fun to wait for Chen Huaixin to enter the court as an official!"

"Humph! You generals can only sneer and ridicule. Why didn't you stand up for Chen Huaixin when he suffered injustice?"

"..."

What had been a good discussion quickly turned into a civil servant argument.

Just when the Pinglu Jiedushi was happily helping the military general to accuse and criticize the civil official.

A slightly deep voice suddenly sounded.

"If an immortal saw this, he would definitely destroy it with his own hands!"

"Because the sky belongs exclusively to the immortals, how could they allow mortals to touch it!"

Hear this.

The hall, which had been filled with heated arguments, suddenly became quiet.

Everyone's eyes turned to the Fourth Princess Ji Changxi who spoke!

This time.

Before the eldest daughter Ji Changning could smooth over the words for her sister to ease the tense atmosphere, the third daughter Ji Changluo, who had been standing next to Ji Changxi, had already timidly pulled her sister and whispered, "Sister, you—you shouldn't say that. Everyone is looking at you."

Ji Changluo's words seemed to have used up all her courage. When someone looked at her, she immediately hid her head behind her sister Ji Changxi as if she was frightened, as if no one could see her this way.

The female emperor Ji Qingluo who was sitting above was looking at the timid Ji Changluo helplessly. She and Ji Changxi were twin sisters, but as the elder sister, she was much more timid than her younger sister. She dared not meet people all day long and would only hide behind her biological sister. If it were not for her mandatory order, it would be difficult to see her in the hall.

"Your Highness the Fourth Princess, please don't say certain things carelessly. He is an immortal. How could an immortal act like this?" Prime Minister Wang Qianhe reminded with a slightly stern voice.

After seeing her sister being scolded by the prime minister, Ji Changluo, as the elder sister, was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't know what to do.

But Ji Changxi said nonchalantly: "I am not talking nonsense, those ancient books all record it like this!" Ancient books record it like this? !
After hearing this.

Everyone present was stunned.

"Or."

"If it weren't for the existence of the immortal."

"In such a long river of history."

"Why did the earth-shaking and flying things not appear until now?"

“Are the ancients really so much worse than modern people?”

Ji Changxi blocked his sister Ji Changluo behind him and swept his eyes over all the ministers present.

When she was tinkering with things that seemed strange to outsiders, she had consulted a lot of classics in the hope of learning from the wisdom of the ancients. However, the past recorded in those classics was like stagnant water that had not changed for thousands of years. There had indeed been one or two shining points belonging to mortals, but they soon disappeared in the long river of history.

It seemed as if in that former world, apart from cultivating immortals, everything else was considered unorthodox, and therefore was not recorded. Of course, it could also be... destroyed by immortals!

"Fourth sister!"

"Don't discuss the affairs of immortals!"

As the eldest sister, Ji Changning finally found the right opportunity to speak.

Regardless of whether things are really as Ji Changxi said, it is an extremely bad thing to talk about immortals. Even though immortals have disappeared for two hundred years, who knows whether immortals will appear again in the future!
She looked at Ji Changxi, who curled his lips and said nothing. She was relieved and turned her gaze to the ministers, and continued, "My fourth sister is young and ignorant, and what she said was just a casual remark. Please don't take it to heart."

"All right."

"The past is all mist."

"There's no need to mention it anymore."

"But Chen Huaixin sent his soldiers into the sky. At most, he could only scare the defenders of Tongguan. How could he capture it without bloodshed?"

Ji Qingluo's voice also rang out at this time.

She did not dwell on whether he was an immortal or not, nor did she think about whether what Ji Changxi said was true. In any case, the immortal had disappeared. Instead of arguing about this fruitless matter, it would be better to turn the topic back to Chen Huaixin.

The officials in the court also knew clearly what the empress meant.

They pretended not to hear what Ji Changxi had just said and began to discuss how to use this flying object to capture Tongguan.

soon.

They got the result.

"Just keep taking advantage of the height and throwing boulders or shooting arrows down."

"Even without any earth-shattering weapon, it can still cause the Tongguan defenders to collapse."

"but."

"This is not a bloodless battle."

"At best, we can say that the losses will be minimal."

"Because the soldiers of Tongguan can't just keep taking the beating, they will definitely choose to go out and fight!"

Prime Minister Wang Qianhe said this.

Everyone else nodded.

Ji Qingluo did not express her opinion. Although what she thought was similar to this method, as Wang Qianhe said, this was not a bloodless solution.

Could it be that Chen Huaixin was wrong, or was he misinterpreting the minimization of losses as an effort without bloodshed?

Ji Qingluo frowned slightly.

She looked towards the Heavenly Mirror in the hall and thought silently in her heart.

"Let me see how you achieved the bloodless victory you mentioned!"
