Wei Yao quickly walked in, groped up and down, and marveled: "Is this the rumored bed crossbow developed by the Julu Kingdom? But why does it look so different from the Julu Kingdom?"
His tone was a little erratic, as if his feet were unable to touch the ground and he was teetering on the clouds.
Zheng Quchi also walked in with Yu Wensheng and Wang Zebang. She patted the technological power weapon that combined steel and wood, raised her chin and said: "This is not a three-bow crossbow, it is called a heavy crossbow!"
"Crossbow? Is it the same as artillery?" Wei Yao and Wang Zebang spoke almost at the same time.
Although Yu Wensheng did not speak, his questioning eyes followed him with raised eyebrows.
"Of course it's different."
Zheng Quchi was not in a hurry to explain to them. Instead, he looked up and searched in the warehouse. There were not only heavy-duty ballistae in the warehouse, but also many technical personnel. However, the heavy-duty ballistae was too large and obscured their sight. .
She saw two craftsmen stepping on the scaffolding to inspect the components of each heavy ballista according to her instructions, so she stepped forward and said hello: "Two masters, come here."
The craftsman who was concentrating on hearing someone shouting turned his head and saw Zheng Quchi at first sight. Their serious expressions were full of excitement visible to the naked eye: "Gong Zheng!"
They stopped what they were doing and ran over quickly.
Wei Yao and Wang Zebang looked at each other with funny expressions on their faces.
I have known before that these craftsmen have great respect for their wives. Anyone who can win her favor will faint with happiness.
They glanced at their general again. It was pitiful that the three of them stood here like a background wall. They were obviously there, but the other party just turned a blind eye to them and focused all their attention on the madam.
Zheng Quchi showed condolences to them: "Thank you for your hard work. Is everything going well?"
"Smooth, smooth. The tasks assigned to us by Gong Zheng were completed on time. We are very honored to be entrusted with such an important task by Gong Zheng. This time, just building equipment for Gong Zheng has already served us well for life..."
Seeing that the two of them were about to pour out their inner admiration, Zheng Quchi quickly stepped aside to stand behind him.
"I've kept you busy, but General Yuwen is here to inspect this time, and I want you to give them a good introduction to the current work progress."
Ga——
When their eyes were transferred to the people behind Zheng Gong, they felt a basin of cold water being poured from their heads to the soles of their feet. Their eyes suddenly widened, and they were full of enthusiasm and outpourings. It was more like being pinched hard by an invisible hand. It was held around the neck, not only causing them to swallow it alive, but also causing "indigestion".
"General Yuwen, general..."
Isn't the general dead? Who is this? No, this is obviously General Yuwen. Look at this familiar ghost mask——
As soon as their legs gave out, the two of them fell to their knees heavily on the ground, kowtowing desperately, for fear that the other party would blame them for not recognizing people with their eyes, and for ignoring that he had not shown courtesy.
"General, spare your life——"
Who would have thought that Yu Wensheng was as kind and gentle as a compassionate Bodhisattva at this time. He said, "Are you scared? It's no wonder we came here without saying hello in advance."
The two of them quickly trembled and said: "No, no, no, we just..."
Zheng Quchi saw that the other party was so frightened that he quickly said: "Don't be afraid, he is not a ghost, he is a human being. He is not dead..."
After a random explanation without getting to the point, Zheng Quchi had no choice but to stop, and after sorting out his words, he said: "In short, our God of War from Ye Kingdom is back. Don't be afraid, he is here to protect us."
As soon as these words came out, the two craftsmen and the workers around were stunned.
...to protect them?
Yes, General Yuwen is the God of War of Ye State. With him, Ye State can stand firm.
After a while, their expressions changed, and together with the servants scattered throughout the warehouse, they all respectfully saluted Yu Wen Sheng: "I have seen General Yu Wen!"
Yu Wensheng didn't care about these people's fear and avoidance of him. Their thoughts had never been important to him, but it was quite refreshing to be treated so sincerely all of a sudden.
"I am indeed not a ghost."
He looked at Zheng Quchi with a smile and said: "Madam treats you as friendly as compatriots, and I follow her wishes, so there is no need to be too restrained."
This was the first time that he was willing to talk to someone who didn't matter. He was so considerate and caring, as if he was a different person.
The people present suddenly remembered that their Zheng Gong was actually the wife of General Yuwen. They... they were actually husband and wife? !
Inexplicably, there is a trance-like feeling that one's cognition has been exploded.
Yes, they had known about this for a long time, but when it happened, they had a strong sense of shock that "supposedly" had become "true".
No, how could two people so different from each other become a couple?
Although this should be considered a good thing... just because the current general seems to be henpecked... Damn, are they crazy? You actually think the general is henpecked!
No, this is absolutely impossible!
Seeing that they all seemed to be trembling and had forgotten to even stand up, Zheng Quchi looked at Yu Wensheng's fake mask of smiles hiding knives, and immediately frowned and said: "Don't laugh, talk properly."
This slight reproach almost made the sound of a pin drop in the warehouse, and no one dared to even take a breath.
Yu Wensheng looked at Zheng Quchi who looked serious. After a while, he smiled and said lightly: "Get up and continue whatever you have to do. Didn't you hear what Madam just told you?"
欻——
Immediately following the military orders, everyone stood up as quickly as a mountain. Their movements were no slower than those of a well-trained army, and then they began to get busy.
It turns out that he is really henpecked...
The two craftsmen did not dare to leave the Shura field, so they could only look at Gong Zheng and saw that she was smiling innocently, looking like a good person, while General Yuwen's eyes were fixed on her, loyal and persistent, as if he only wanted to She was happy and it didn't matter how she acted.
Suddenly, their hearts were set.
There may not be anything in this world until death do us part, but there is definitely something that will come down to us.
"General, there are a total of 230 ballistas here. Currently, 230 have been assembled and 221 have been inspected. The remaining 19 will be completed before tonight, and field exercises can be conducted tomorrow. Do the final debugging," the craftsman said.
Zheng Quchi said: "This time I came to Wubao, and I brought a total of fifty craftsmen with me. They were all loyal people who voluntarily came with me to support the battle of Wubao. They were responsible for the disassembly and transportation at the beginning. These days, too, They are all busy in the warehouse day and night preparing for the war."
When Wei Yao and Wang Zebang heard this, they both lost their previous carelessness. They thought they were just ordinary craftsmen recruited by the imperial court, but they did not expect that these people were patriots who voluntarily contributed their efforts. They did not seek any benefits, but just I simply hope that the country of Ye can become better and stronger. (End of chapter)
