Chapter 273 : Moves.
The next morning, Han Lingshi came out of the house, and happen to meet Wen Hu An who was heading towards their place. She greeted him and said, "Brother Wen, my husband is immersed in cultivation, how about you give me the address and I will send him where he wakes up? Last night gave him some inspiration and he is not cultivating."
Wen Hu An was surprised but did not mind and said, "It is fine, Sister-in-law. Well, you can tell him to find me at the Blue Flames weapon shop."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Han Lingshi nodded and they both went their own ways. The young lady was also surprised in the morning when she found Hao Ren sitting in a daze. However, she realized that he was going through an epiphany when Yin told her.
The young lady quickly came to the study room, and she sat down on the chair with a sigh. Maya Okudera watched her with a smile, and Han Lingshi asked, "What are you smiling for?"
Maya Okudera replied, "The glow on the face is self evident."
Han Lingshi blushed and said, "Enough nonsense. Tell me what do we have to deal with today?"
Maya Okudera replied, "Princess Dai Shanguan has contacted, she has won the vote of the Military leader of the Samsara country. The other officials have been suppressing him and the other military families. Also, there is news from the Fortune Dynasty front."
Han Lingshi raised her brow, but the next moment, Ye Yin walked out of the shadows, and bowed to Han Lingshi. She said, "Your Majesty, the Fortune Dynasty capital has been taken under command by Duke Wen. The imperial family is trapped within the royal palace, and they have entered stalemate."
Han Lingshi asked, "Do you think we should enter the field now?"
Maya Okudera knew that this question was intended for her, and she shook her head as she said, "If we give the command, the army will march, but we have not yet gained access to the military forces on the other side. We need to win them over, and also contact them to show support in war relief and repair."
Han Lingshi leaned back in the chair and stared at the ceiling before she asked, "Well, do it, but do not let them gain advantage from us. We cannot spend so much money on them when we are undergoing through so many changes. Also, get me some craftsmen, the city needs a department which is responsible for repair."
Maya Okudera asked, "Won't it be nice to find the robots?"
Han Lingshi shook her head before she said, "Robots can be used to help humans, but not replace them. Humans are inherently lazy, if they found that the robots can do these things they will stop working at all. We do not wish to invent a social cancer here. Right. Xiao Mei?"
Xiao Mei replied, "Yes, Big sister."
Xiao Mei was connected to the office, unless Han Lingshi gave her an exclusive command, she would record everything.
The meeting continued, and finally, Han Lingshi said, "Send Sister Xi to the samsara city with the people of her liking. She is a great strategist and we can use a brain like hers here. As for the Fortune Dynasty, dispatch someone who can fight and be diplomatic at the same time. The fortune dynasty needs two teams. One for the King, and second for the Duke.
They will be in contact with this office at all times, and will manipulate the people of both sides to create a good image of Crescent Moon Nation in the eyes of all the citizens there. Got it?"
The two ladies nodded, when Hao Mei walked inside the open study with a young child in her arms. The girl was none other than Agnee. She had been looking around the place with great shock and awe. She asked Hao Mei a lot of questions, and the Blizzard Blade, replied patiently with a smile on her face.
Agnee entered the room, and when she saw Han Lingshi, she exclaimed, "Ma!!"
Han Lingshi was surprised, and then she stood up from her chair and took the child in her arms. She did not know why Agnee addressed her like this, but she did not mind it. When Hao Ren came to the Spirit Shimmer Continent, Agnee became Han Lingshi's roommate and alarm.
The young girl had also become very attached to Han Lingshi, and vice versa. Han Lingshi caressed the back of her head and asked to Hao Mei, "The old people?"
Hao Mei smiled and said, "Ye Lan is showing them to the Maple courtyard palace. They will live together there."
Han Lingshi frowned and Hao Mei said, "They are not yet incapable of looking after themselves, plus they are important people. Their security is important."
Han Lingshi nodded, and said, "Can you send a word to Hao Ren? I don't know how long will his epiphany last."
Hao Mei raised her brows, and said, "I will send Xiao Si."
...
Hao Ren had just woken up from the Epiphany when he sensed Ye Si standing outside the door. He got up and received her before he asked, "What is going on?"
Ye Si replied, "Big Sister Mei called you over, the elders are here."
Hao Ren waved his hand and said, "I have to first play the role of a good neighbor. Those guys can wait."
Ye Si nodded, and then followed Hao Ren to the market, where the Blue Flame Weapon Shop was located. He stood outside the studio, and was confused. He walked up to the door. He pushed open the door, and went inside to take a look.
...
Wen Hu An was standing behind the counter with a fly swatter in his hand. The shop looked in line with any normal shop in this world. It was not luxurious, the shelves were placed very practically. There were a lot of weapons over them. Wen Hu An, heard the door jingle and turned to greet the customer with a smile.
When he saw Hao Ren, he appeared to be a bit embarrassed. The shop did not have any customer inside and now that his new friend has come over to meet, this situation was very embarrassing.
Hao Ren smiled and said, "Brother Wen, why are you blushing? I am not a beautiful girl, am I?"
The man was shocked, and the next moment, Hao Ren said, "Oh, are you blushing because of Xiao Si?"
Wen Hu An raised his hands and said, "Xiao Hao, stop making trouble. My wife would beat me up."
Hao Ren chuckled, and looked around a bit more. Then he said, "Well, I can say that your weapons are good, but they are not the best."
Wen Hu An scratched the back of his head and said, "Well, I want to spend more time to practice refining, but I do not have enough resources. I have made a lot of thousand refined weapons, but that is it. They only qualify as low spiritual weapons."
Hao Ren nodded, and said, "To increase resources, you will need to increase sales exponentially. How about this, give me three days, close the shop and spend some time teaching sister-in-law about handling the counter. A woman can save money and also spin it around better than a man ever can. Plus, she spends all the time at home, it would be beneficial to you to have a beautiful person here."
Wen Hu An thought and said, "Well, my mother is not a fan of my daughter."
Hao Ren waved his hand and said, "My family just arrived in the city, with my third child. She is the youngest of and will need a playmate. So you can leave Xiao Cao at my place no worries."
Wen Hu An was surprised when he heard that Hao Ren had a third child.
The two came to an agreement and Hao Ren left the shop with Ye Si. The latter asked, "Is it worth it for you to renovate the shop on your own?"
Hao Ren shrugged and replied, "I am having a very lazy time these days. You people handle things nicely, so why not let me do this?"
Ye Si nodded and said, "As you wish, Big Brother."
Hao Ren then saw a hawker selling candied apples and bought a few dozen. He fed one to Ye Si, and then the two of them entered the palace. They were undetected by the guards.
....
Hao Ren gave a candied apple to Ye Si and took one to Han Lingshi. The rest were to be shared among the Ye Generals. The people did not understand why Hao Ren did this, but every once in a while he would bring them street snacks.
Han Lingshi was inside the Maple Courtyard Palace, this place was massive, as if three Yue Mansions have been constructed side by side. However, it had all the necessary things. Just when she was looking around Hao Ren walked over and placed his hand on her shoulder.
Han Lingshi leaned in his arms, and said, "Ren, Fortune Dynasty is war torn."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "It won't be long before we win it. Do not worry, we will win the neighbors."
The Young lady nodded and said, "Empress Dowager, is angry. She says you did not contact them even once, you are heartless."
Hao Ren chuckled and said, "Given what they did to me, they should be happy that I did not take out my frustration on them. Come, let me see what these people have to say."
Han Lingshi wanted to say something but sighed. Hao Ren had let go of the hatred in his heart but he was really in the mood to scold these people.
