Mu Jinan felt a little uncomfortable being strangled by him, his mouth was pursed, and his face was red. Nangong Yu came forward:

"Jing Yi, loosen your grip, you're strangling her"

Mu Jingyi quickly let go of her hand, his eyes smiling. Now he was no longer a young general galloping on the battlefield, but a brother who cared about his sister.

Nangong Yu saw Mu Jinan staring at him blankly, worried that she might not recognize him, so he reminded her carefully:

"Cousin, call me brother"

Mu Jinan came back to his senses, bowed slightly and said:

"Meet you, brother"

Mu Jingyi felt a little distant from her and the fingers he stretched out trembled slightly. He had only met her a few times over the years, and each time they met in a hurry and parted again.

There were ripples in my heart.

A little sour.

He mustered up his courage and wanted to hold his sister's hand. She had clearly written to him a few months ago to remind him of the battle of Nanzhao, so why was they so distant now?

Mu Jinan's face was serious, and he said politely:

"Brother, you are returning in triumph. There will be court officials and the Ministry of Rites outside the city gate to welcome you into the city. How can you come back alone?"

"Besides, when you return to Chang'an, you must first go to the palace to meet His Majesty."

Mu Jingyi pursed his lips slightly, his eyes puzzled. He felt that her expression was strange, as if she had no emotion at all. He looked at Nangong Yu.

Nangong Yu's face was solemn, his brows were furrowed, and he was about to speak.

Mu Yun came up to them and pretended to be respectful:

"Brother, she is sick. Sometimes she can't recognize people and doesn't get along with us sisters on weekdays."

Mu Jinan was surprised to hear this and said:

"I'm sick? What's wrong with me?"

Nangong Yu looked at Mu Yun with murderous intent in his eyes and said only one word:

"roll"

Every time Mu Yun saw Nangong Yu, she would feel fear in her heart, thinking that he was cold and weird, so she would quickly lower her head and leave.

Mu Jingyi paused and looked at Mu Jinan in disbelief.

There was only strangeness, alienation, and indifference in her eyes.

He immediately understood and said with a forced smile:

"She is always talkative, don't listen to her nonsense, my sister is not sick"

Mu Jinan nodded and said with a smile: "Brother, talk to Dad and the others. If there is nothing else, I will go back to the house first."

Watching Mu Jinan turn around and leave, Mu Jingyi's upright back sank. He couldn't believe it and asked anxiously:

"What happened to my sister? What's wrong with her?"

Nangong Yu's face was filled with sadness, and the happy look he had just shown in front of Mu Jinan immediately disappeared:

"It's just what you guessed in your heart, but don't mention it to her."

Mu Jingyi's brows were furrowed, his eyes were red, and his steps were trembling. He was fine before, how could he suddenly become like this?

"Her sanity?"

"In the end what happened?"

Nangong Yu gritted his teeth, wanting only to tear Li Heng into pieces, his eyes cold:

"That beast Li Heng used five evil insects to bite the good insect in her body to death. The evil insects invaded her brain and ate and bit her meridians."

"My memory is confused now. I can't recognize people and I often forget things. It's getting worse."

Mu Jingyi was suddenly shocked, and his heart seemed to stop beating.

He watched as his sister's figure completely disappeared, and he still couldn't believe what he heard.

Mu Jingyi was a military commander. Although he inherited Rongde's good looks, he was a straightforward person. He opened his mouth several times, full of anger:

"This beast actually drove my sister crazy"

"If he is not dead yet, I will make sure he dies without a burial place."

Nangong Yu lowered his eyes, patted his shoulder with a firm tone:

"Jingyi, I will heal her"

At the border, he heard news from Chang'an that everyone in the army was praising his sister, who was as ruthless as any man in the court and delivered food and fodder to the soldiers.

Mu Jingyi's throat was burning. He and Mu Jinan were siblings from the same mother. Seeing her suffer so much, he felt sad.

Nangong Yu couldn't bear to see him worry, so he told him:

"In the court, she is still very sober every day, you can rest assured."

Mu Jingyi felt a little uneasy, but he believed in Nangong Yu's medical skills and believed that he would be able to cure his sister.

At the parade ground of Daming Palace, the sun was scorching, there was not a single bird in the sky, and all the soldiers from the Ministry of War gathered there.

Every eye was fixed on the cannon.

The cannon in front of him has been completed. Mu Jinan looked at Wang Huaiyang's nervous expression and sweat on his forehead. He didn't want to "retire and return home".

Hope this experiment will be successful.

They have tried it more than a dozen times, but always have difficulty controlling wind speed, range, and shell size.

The cannon's horn muzzle has strong heat dissipation capabilities, the barrel is made of one piece of cast iron, and the barrel is extremely sealed.

Mu Jinan felt that the gun barrel design was already very powerful at the moment.

The only thing is that the rotation adjustment at the bottom is still a little lacking. She knocked her head and wanted to see how the launch goes first.

There was silence all around.

A soldier stepped forward, took a long breath, pulled the rope, and the fuse drove the gunpowder bag, pushing the cannonball.

Everyone covered their ears, stood up straight, and held their breath.

Mu Jinan counted: one, two, three,

I saw the shell rushing out of the muzzle like a spark hammer, rushing towards the wall.

With a loud bang, thunder and fire pierced through the wall.

In an instant, smoke and dust rose.

Everyone stared, stunned for a moment, then exclaimed:

"We did it, the launch was successful"

"Great"

Emperor Ming, who was in the harem at the moment, heard a loud noise in the distance. He said in fear:

"What happened"

The high eunuch bowed and said with concern: "Your Majesty, I will go out and take a look."

Eunuch Gao immediately asked the guards to check.

Mu Jinan was shocked and shouted happily: "Success!"

Wang Huaiyang cried with joy and felt proud in his heart. He looked at the fireworks and the flying dust and nodded with satisfaction. After so long, all his efforts were finally not in vain.

He walked towards Mu Jinan, with joy and gratitude in his eyes, and his lips trembling slightly.

Seeing him looking at her without saying anything, Mu Jinan raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion:

"Huaiyang, you succeeded. Aren't you happy? You're so excited that you don't know what to say."

Wang Huaiyang lowered his head shyly, his ears flushed, and he stammered:

"Master Mu, this is all thanks to you. It was you who told me the idea and constantly modified the blueprints that led to today."

Mu Jinan smiled happily:

"Huai Yang, do you want me to call you Lord Wang? You are the Shangshu and I am the Shilang. I cannot bear it if you call me that."

Wang Huaiyang touched his ear with a smile on his lips. In his heart, he admired Mu Jinan very much. Looking at her confident and bright appearance, his eyes were gentle:

"Jin'an, thank you so much"

Mu Jinan waved her hand and asked him to go over and see how damaged the wall was. She calmed down and sighed:

"A person with good archery skills can shoot an arrow through a target from a hundred paces away. A cannon is extremely powerful, but its current range is only a little over a hundred feet. It would be great if it could reach one, two, three, or even five or six miles."

"That way, whether we're attacking or defending a city, we'll always win."

Wang Huaiyang pursed his lips slightly, agreeing with her suggestion. He has strong concentration and likes to study, but he has encountered a bottleneck and is unable to break through.

He whispered: "Jin'an, don't worry, I will definitely do it"

Mu Jinan looked at the wall in front of her. The high wall collapsed and the damage was more than ten feet long. She smiled with satisfaction:

"Take it easy, it can finally be launched"

"I believe you"

Wang Huaiyang looked at her, and it was a pity that he met her too late. She was worthy of too many beautiful words, and using the word like "like" seemed like a blasphemy to her.

Wang Huaiyang's face was gentle: "Jin'an, tomorrow is your wedding day, go home early to prepare"
