The queen must start from the head

Chapter 121 To Enter Or Not To Enter
There is only one day left until the test.

The news of the Great Qin State's cavalry going south has spread throughout the entire Northern Qi State.

Juren who had entered the city to wait for the examination gathered in groups of three or four, discussing how to fight against the enemy.The wealthy businessmen in the city are racking their brains to find ways to sell their goods and collect their wealth.

Although ordinary people's lives are still going on as usual, it is not difficult for careful people to find that there is an atmosphere of uneasiness in the imperial city.

In the Wushuang sect, Wu Mei is reporting to Mu Lian the income of the sect this month.

"...The business of mirrors and soap has dropped a lot, but the sales of matches have unexpectedly increased. The current monthly income is still enough to maintain the food and drink expenses of the disciples. In addition, in the alchemy room, the two pharmacists we hired have researched Two new healing potions, I think we can mass produce them."

"Yes." Mu Lian nodded and said, "You can provide them with the materials needed for pharmaceutical production first. After the finished product is made, sell it first. If there is a large profit margin, we will start mass production."

"Okay." Wu Mei responded and immediately put away some documents she had brought.

Mu Lian thought she was going to leave soon, but she didn't want her to stand where she was, with a look of hesitation.

"What's the matter? Anything else?"

"Master, I want to know, what do you think about Da Qin going south?" Wu Mei secretly glanced at Mu Lian's expression while speaking.The Great Qin State went south, and the goal was still directed at Northern Qi.If the Northern Qi was destroyed, where would they and their sect go?
"It's not there yet."

Mu Lian leaned on the back of the chair behind her, closed her eyes slightly and said, "If the war really reaches the imperial city, I will come up with a solution before then. I know Sister Wu that you will not ask such a question for no reason. There must be many disciples in China who are worried about this matter. If they ask you again, just tell them, don't panic, if the sky falls, I will hold it up."

Mu Lian's "Sister Wu" and her last words made Wu Mei's eyes heat up.

Counting it down, she has been with Mu Lian for less than a year, but her whole person has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Living in the most prosperous imperial city, becoming a general manager who takes care of the lives of hundreds of people every day and manages a group of people under her command, her current status and her current life are envied by many people.

She knew that everything she had was given by the person in front of her.

If there is no other party, maybe she is still in the thatched hut in Heshui Village, living a hard life with Shuang'er.

It was this person who silently held up the sky for her and the whole sect.

After exiting the leader's study, Wu Mei gently closed the door behind her, then turned around and clenched a pair of fists in front of her chest.She secretly swore in her heart that if the sky really fell one day, she would let the leader know that she, Wu Mei, was the one who stood up with her!
Not long after Wu Mei left, Mu Lian went to the practice room to continue her practice.

Previously, she rushed to open the two acupoints Guanyuan and Qihai in one go, and successfully condensed the Holy Wheel in them.But the third acupoint on the back of the human body - the Sanjiao acupoint, she has never been able to break through.

After the last battle with the silver-robed saint, she also suffered internal injuries.

Now after several days of conditioning, she is ready to challenge again.

Mu Lian sat cross-legged on the futon. After clearing her mind, she mobilized the holy power around her body and began to break through the barrier.

Because of the completion of the Eucharist, her body turned into golden blood, thick and thick like mercury.

At this time, the holy power is in the spine, and it is going upstream, desperately pushing away the thick and viscous golden blood, gaining momentum in front of the Sanjiao point, ready to break through the barrier in one fell swoop.

Gradually, the holy power in Mu Lian's body gathered at one point, and the powerful power was continuously compressed and compressed.

If someone attacked her at this point, the powerful holy power would probably lose control, and then Mu Lian would explode and die!

Although she exchanged the purchase value for the method of condensing the holy wheel from the system, it is ultimately up to her to cultivate the holy wheel.

On the road of practice, one step will lead to death, there is no luck at all.

Finally, enough holy power gathered in front of the Sanjiao acupoint, and in the next second, this terrifying force rolled up thick blood like a tsunami, and slammed towards the Sanjiao acupoint violently.

Once, twice, three times... After dozens of violent hits, Mu Lian felt a fishy taste in her mouth, and she vaguely felt that this time she was going to fail.

No, it's not the last time, I haven't exhausted the last bit of strength, I can't just give up like this!
She forcibly pulled herself together, summoned up the last trace of her holy power again, and continued to attack that acupuncture point.

Just hearing a "boom" sound from the spine, the Sanjiao point was finally broken!
A large amount of holy power seeped into it with fresh blood, slowly forming a bloody round wheel inside.That was the third Holy Wheel taking shape.

Whenever the Holy Wheel begins to condense, the surrounding spiritual energy from heaven and earth will rush into the cultivator's body crazily until the Holy Wheel is completely formed.

Mu Lian just sat quietly and adjusted her breath for half an hour, and the holy power in her body was extremely full.Now that she has three holy wheels, her strength is even stronger than before.

After practicing, she left the futon and stood up.

Now that the war is about to start, it's time for her to end some things.

When Mu Lian went out, it was completely dark.

In today's night sky, the stars are dim, and the moon is hidden in the clouds.Many streets in the imperial city are so dark that you can't see your fingers.

She was still wearing a plain robe and a pair of plain shoes embroidered with cloud patterns on her feet, walking alone on a main road in the imperial city.Finally, she stopped in front of a shop.

The store has long been closed, and under the raised eaves in front of the door, there is a striking signboard of "Embroidered Women's Workshop".

Mu Lian raised her hand, knocked the door panel, and said loudly, "There are guests coming to the door tonight, and they are uninvited. If the Su family is here, please open the door for me."

In the empty street, the voice that made her speak seemed to carry an echo.

After a while, the door of the embroidered girl's workshop was opened, but there seemed to be no one in the dark space behind the door.

Mu Lian was not afraid, she stepped across the threshold and entered the shop door.

In the darkness, she stared ahead, as if someone was waiting for her there.

Mu Lian, who was looking intently along the way, passed through the front room, the atrium, and the garden, until she came to the innermost room, which was also the most gorgeous looking room.

Around the originally dark room, red lanterns suddenly lit up.

There was also a woman's voice in the room, "Since the guest is here, why not come in and have a look."

As for Su Zhiyao, Mu Lian only had a very brief conversation with her in the Waterside Pavilion of the Prime Minister's Mansion that day because she was using Cai Lian'er to get on top of her.

She didn't know the real appearance and voice of the other party.

Now looking at the bright red lanterns lit up all around, and the female voice that came out of the room just now, Mu Lian always felt that something was not quite right.She felt as if she had entered a cage designed by someone else again.

The prey accidentally entered the cage, and the hunter, holding a knife and gun, was looking at the prey in the cage and grinning.

She seemed to be that prey.

"What? Don't you even dare to enter this room?" The female voice in the room sounded again.

Mu Lian knew that there was a problem, there must be something wrong in the room, so should she go in now or not?
