Chapter 292 When Young Master Li thought he still had a chance to turn the tables…
Wan Sinong, Li, Zheng, and Chen were also at the banquet.
At the end of summer, when Huangfu Qian was enjoying great success due to his reckless behavior, the main quest progress of the four people dropped by five points each!
All four of them looked grim for a moment, especially Young Master Li, whose mission progress had dropped to 61%. He looked as if he had swallowed a fly.
Although they, who also possessed live-streaming systems, couldn't be 100% certain, they vaguely knew why Young Master Lan had died a charred corpse, and why their mission progress had also been cut off. They might end up like Young Master Lan...
Just thinking about that situation made the four of them look even more grim.
Lunar New Year's Day...
The people of the capital city didn't even leave their homes; they were already discussing the major events that had leaked from the palace the day before, all over the courtyard walls.
As summer drew to a close, she undoubtedly became the focus of discussion again, the one being envied.
This situation can also be considered a late summer scene.
Based on the original owner's glory, the plunderers would have to return a portion of their fortune in exchange...
At the end of summer, he successfully retrieved two points of luck from each of the five people.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he regained ten points of good fortune, and Xia Mo's lips curled up in a happy smile.
Xia's father and the others thought that Xia Mo was so happy because she was going to marry Huangfu Qian.
Xia's father and the others sighed helplessly and whispered, "A daughter is like a tree that cannot be kept at home once she grows up!"
Xia Mo was speechless for a moment: "..."
She couldn't explain why she was so happy, so she could only let Xia's father and the others misunderstand.

Two days later—
The hidden weapon, as desired, became famous throughout the country.
As the reputation of his hidden weapons grew, another tragedy struck the young master of the Li family!
Young Master Li's main quest progress dropped from 59% to 29%.
Li Mansion —
Young Master Li was in his workshop, trying to assemble the hidden mechanism in his sleeve. Just a moment ago, he was seriously studying how to put the scattered parts back together. The next moment, he suddenly became angry and went crazy, sweeping all the parts off the table and making a loud "clanging" sound.
"what!"
Young Master Li suddenly clutched his head, screaming in anguish and resentment. But the next instant, he collapsed to the ground with a thud, spitting out white foam, his body convulsing violently.
When Young Master Li saw that the main storyline progress had dropped to 29%, all he could think of was the image of Young Master Lan being electrocuted and turned into a charred corpse. He realized that he would be the next one to become a charred corpse! He was terrified, he was so scared, he didn't want to die!
He wanted to do something, but then he discovered that Xia Mo was now the future Princess Consort of Jiang. With the Prince of Jiang protecting her, what could he possibly do?
The shadow of death loomed over him relentlessly, weighing on his reason and causing his emotional control to crumble.
When news of Young Master Li's sudden relapse in the room where the mechanism was being made reached the ears of the Li family head, he rushed over and found Young Master Li sitting dejectedly on the ground after the electric shock punishment had ended.
“Even if we can’t assemble it, it’s okay. We can just buy another hidden weapon. This time, we’ll be more careful and not disassemble it directly. Instead, we’ll open a corner to observe it,” the Li family head advised.
Young Master Li, however, rushed over as if grasping at a straw and hugged the head of the Li family tightly.
"Father, Father, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
The Li family head was very satisfied with this heir, mainly because he was his only legitimate son.
"What's going on?!" the Li family head asked in a deep voice.
“I made a deal with certain beings. If I can’t kill Xia Mo, I will die,” Young Master Li said in a trembling voice.
"Was your recurring illness caused by this?" The Li family head's heart sank.
The Li family head rebuked, "Are you confused? What does the life or death of the An family head have to do with you? Just do your job well and pass on the family legacy, isn't that enough?!"
Young Master Li dared not tell the Li family head that his fortune was taken from his deceased younger brother, and that his deal with the live-streaming system had begun when he was a child.
Young Master Li felt that if he revealed these things, it would be as if he had killed his father's most beloved son, and his father would definitely hate him to death!
He couldn't say it, even though the system allowed him to vaguely state its existence, he still couldn't say it!
When Young Master Li realized that only he himself could solve this problem, he helplessly let go of the Li family head's leg and slumped to the ground.
He didn't want to end up like Young Master Lan, so he had to find a way to suppress Xia Mo and ensure Xia Mo's utter ruin! He had to kill Xia Mo when Xia Mo had only a sliver of luck left! Only then could he eliminate any future trouble!
With Jiang Wang protecting him, Xia Mo couldn't make a move. What could he do? What could he do?
Young Master Li's mind was in a mess, and due to mental tension, he developed tinnitus.
As his thoughts wandered, Young Master Li thought of Xia's father, mother, eldest brother, second brother, and third brother.
Even though Xia Mo had King Jiang protecting him, King Jiang had no choice but to protect Xia's father and the others as well!
He still has a chance!
Young Master Li gradually recovered from his dejection.
"Father, please help me investigate the Xia family's information again. I need it all!" Young Master Li said solemnly.
The head of the Li family frowned, seeing that Young Master Li still refused to let Xia Mo go. He understood, nodded, and left, ordering his men to investigate the Xia family.
Even so, Young Master Li was still not at ease, so he simply met with Young Master Zheng and Young Master Chen, who also had live streaming systems.
He refused to believe that the three powerful families, working together, couldn't possibly defeat Xia Mo!
In Young Master Li's eyes, a raging fire ignited, as if to burn everything to ashes.
When Young Master Li thought he still had a chance to turn things around...
However, shortly after meeting Zheng and Chen...
It will probably take about eight days...
On the tenth day of the first lunar month—
Great news has arrived from the border!
Actually, it doesn't matter if the battle reports from the border aren't sent to the old emperor. As long as Huangfu Qian knows about them and takes action, that's fine.
This has been the case for the past eight years, but... this time it's a little different.
The old emperor was surprised. He knew about the border war, but hadn't Huangfu Qian been handling it all along, and hadn't he been put in charge of it at all? How could this be...?
The people of the capital city only realized the news of the war on the border a moment ago, but before they knew it, good news had already arrived.
Huangfu Qian deliberately had it widely publicized...
"The powerful repeating crossbow researched by the chieftain of Anjia Township was the key to victory in this war."
Is the powerful repeating crossbow similar to the crossbows they encountered?
Before the public and officials who heard the news could even ask their questions, someone had already helped answer them.
"A powerful repeating crossbow that can load arrows quickly and fire ten arrows in succession! And each arrow has the power to pierce sinews and split rocks!"
As the annotations spread among the common people, even the royal family and nobles were shocked!
The Li family —
The Li family naturally learned the news immediately.
The Li family head realized that as long as Xia Mo was around, the Li family's mechanical arts would always be outmatched, and his son was right to want to deal with Xia Mo.
Thinking this, the head of the Li family rushed to the backyard to find his son and come up with a solution.
turn out……
"what--"
A piercing scream rang out, as if it would tear down the Li family mansion.
