The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

At first glance, the pharmacy was ordinary, but after Yang Qi's in-depth "understanding", he found that there were mysteries everywhere. Half a day passed, and Yang Qi still hadn't figured out all the tricks of this house.

Mo Chong is worthy of being a master of machinery. He was able to build this base in the mountains and even designed this pharmacy so ingeniously.

Occupying half of the room was a cabinet full of medicinal herbs, just like an ordinary pharmacy. However, Mo Chong had only prepared the medicinal herbs on the prescription, which were placed in bags on the ground. The cabinet was temporarily empty.

Yang Qi separated the bagged herbs into parts, chose the most convenient place, and placed them in the hundred-item cabinet.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary cabinet, but the strange thing is that all the grids are movable.

There is an object similar to a chessboard in front of the cabinet. The chess pieces placed on it are fixed on the chessboard and correspond one by one to the grids of the cabinet.

When Yang Qi just touched the chess piece, the wood on the far right side of the cabinet was controlled by the mechanism at the back and moved to the right, leaving a space. Then, as long as Yang Qi moved the chess piece, the corresponding space in the cabinet would move in the same direction.

This means that as long as Yang Qi stands at the chessboard and manipulates the chess pieces, he can quickly get the medicinal materials on the top layer.

"What a genius."

Although this mechanism is designed to be used as a hundred-child cabinet, it is really an overkill, but it can be seen that Mo Chong is very capable in mechanism design.

Yang Qi frowned, thinking about what he had seen and heard in the past few days. It was really a big threat for such a talent to fall into the hands of the fifth prince.

There are records of "mechanical birds" in ancient books. They come in different sizes. Large mechanical birds can carry five to six people, while small ones can be used as assassination weapons or to pass messages. If the materials are chosen properly, the mechanical bird can fly in the air and also protect against arrows, crossbows and hidden weapons.

When Yang Qi read this record, he just sighed: the ancients had wonderful minds and divine mechanisms, and then put it aside without thinking deeply about it.

However, judging from the manufacturing of this secret base, replicating the mechanical bird may not be difficult for Mo Chong. There is also a possibility that the elusive Mo family may have already mastered the manufacturing methods of these technical objects.

I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows the news about the Mohist School?

However, what Yang Qi is sure of is that, at present, no one can confirm Mo Chong's true strength except himself.

But now it seems that if he is given enough materials and time, he may really be able to create a destructive weapon.

This is not good news for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his adoptive parents.

If Mo Chong is a sharp sword, then the Fifth Prince is the one holding the sword. Now, where does the Fifth Prince want to point the sword most? The answer is obvious.

Yang Qi was thinking deeply when there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Trapped in the enemy camp, Yang Qi couldn't help but become nervous. This Mo Chong was a madman, and no one knew his true thoughts.

After a quarter of an hour, there was no sound coming from outside the door. Yang Qi thought about it and went to open the door first.

Sure enough, the person standing outside the door was Wang Yi!

Standing at the door, Yang Qi happily took the lunch box from Wang Yi: "Wang Yi, I'll have to trouble you with the next meal."

However, although he looked excited and happy, in fact, Yang Qi's body was blocking the way into the house.

There was some anxiety on Wang Yi's plain face, and he waved his hands quickly, probably telling Yang Qi not to be polite.

"By the way, Wang Yi, the medicine I prepared for Young Master Zhu will be ready in half an hour. Can you come over and take me to Young Master Zhu's room then?

Young Master Zhu had previously told me that this yard was full of traps and that I should not venture in.

But I don't see anyone responsible for sweeping the yard, so I have to trouble you."

Listening to Yang Qi's words, Wang Yi showed some difficulty on his face, but after hesitating for a while, he nodded in agreement.

"Thank you very much. I'll give you the lunch box later."

After entering the house, Yang Qi took the lunch box to his resting area on the far right. Since there was no table or chairs there, he could only make do with the bed.

Today's meal is quite sumptuous, with two dishes and one soup. The meat dish is steamed fish, the vegetarian dish is stir-fried vegetables, and there is also a bowl of seaweed soup. Is this the treatment for starting to work with Mo Chong?

This base is built in the mountains and isolated from the outside world. Where does all this food come from?

The amount of food for tens of thousands of soldiers is not a small amount, and it has to be transported here without anyone noticing. Could it be obtained from Jiangnan?

In this secret base, food is a scarce commodity. The food I have today must be better than that of ordinary soldiers. I wonder how A-Du and Chen Jing are doing? It has been a few days, and they are short of food and water. Can they still hold on?

Secret base, underground prison.

After eating plain porridge for several days in a row, even masters like Adu and Chen Jing found it a bit difficult to cope with it.

In order to save energy, the two of them spent the rest of their time resting their eyes except for "drinking water" and sleeping.

There was a rustling sound of footsteps and Adu frowned slightly. It was not time for dinner yet and someone coming at this time must be up to no good.

As expected, the footsteps stopped in front of A-Du and Chen Jing's cage, "You two, come out!"

Chen Jing slowly opened her eyes, glanced at the soldier in front of her, then looked at Adu, and they both stood up obediently.

Now, I am at the mercy of others. If the two of them continue to resist, it will definitely lead to more serious consequences. Not to mention that they are outnumbered and will definitely not get anything good if they start fighting. Just look at the bland food they have had in the past few days, and the physical strength of Adu and Chen Jing is far from that of their peak period.

Unlike Yang Qi who was relaxed, when several soldiers saw Chen Jing and Adu come out of the cage, someone immediately took two sets of prisoner's clothes and locked them up.

In addition, Adu and Chen Jing were blindfolded, and a soldier took a rope and asked Adu and Chen Jing to grab it and pull it forward.

Although they did not actually fight, but based on the actions of Adu and Chen Jing when they surrounded them that day, as well as their reactions in the past few days, these soldiers concluded that the two were martial artists, and the restrictions on them must be much stricter than those on Yang Qi.

Fortunately, both Adu and Chen Jing have excellent hearing and sense of direction, and they can guess the approximate route even with their eyes blindfolded.

After being brought back to the cage once, Adu and Chen Jing already had a rough idea of ​​the route map of this underground cage.

The further we walked, the louder the noise became, as if a large group of people had gathered together.

Adu frowned, and had a rough guess in his mind about where these soldiers were going to take him.
