Disguised as a man: Watch me create a new dynasty

Chapter 73 It’s Xie’s Army! They’re here to save us!

"Mother, I understand. I am just too curious about my cousin."

"She is so young, yet she can travel a long distance and go through so much hardship all the way from the north to the capital. She is really amazing."

"You didn't even get beaten by the flower boy?"

"I think my cousin will be a beauty if she is well taken care of."

After Xie Yanran said this, the other young ladies of the Xie family also became confused.

Yes, this cousin looks only about five or six years old. How could she have traveled all the way to the capital city alone through mountains and rivers?

But seeing that the mother-in-law didn't care at all, no one asked.

My mother-in-law is finally happy, so let’s not talk about these things for now.

Fortunately, Xie Yanran had no plan to drive Su Zhenzhen out of the Marquis' Mansion today.

So, I changed the subject.

They talked about the recent interesting things in the capital, which made the old lady even happier.

Su Zhenzhen sat aside and watched everyone trying to comfort the old lady in various ways. Suddenly, she felt like an outsider and could not get a word in.

I have just arrived in the capital and have not seen its prosperity yet. How can I talk about anything with these nobles in the capital?

She could only feel resentful in her heart, and from time to time showed expressions of embarrassment or surprise towards the old lady, which finally made old lady Xie hug her with heartache.

Over there, Su Zhenzhen tried her best to get close to the Xie family.

The Yan family, far away in the north, was also busy.

It has been snowing in the north for nearly ten days. People didn’t take it too seriously during the first three or five days.

It is normal to have snow for several days in a row in the north in winter, and people are staying at home to spend the winter.

Thanks to the potatoes that Yan Nansheng had cultivated and planted in advance, the people were able to harvest some before the weather got completely cold.

Although they are not fully grown, the yield per mu is still astonishingly high.

The people are all grateful for Yan Nansheng's good deeds.

In addition, the roofs have all been repaired, and only a few families who are too poor to afford the repairs are still worried that heavy snow will collapse their roofs.

But when the heavy snow continued to fall for eight or nine days, the people became panicked.

The firewood at home couldn't last long.

Once the family runs out of firewood for heating, they will freeze to death.

Qinghe Village was fine because Yan Nansheng had said before that they must prepare more firewood. So the villagers of Qinghe Village took Yan Nansheng's words as an imperial decree and almost plucked out all the firewood on the hilltop of Changyun Mountain near Qinghe Village.

Other villages were not so prepared.

It is impossible to go up the mountain to chop firewood now. We can’t even get out of the village, so how can we go up the mountain?

All the roads were blocked by heavy snow.

Every household was in panic due to lack of firewood.

Just as they were desperately waiting to freeze to death at home.

The sound of people shouting could be heard in the quiet village.

There is more than one voice.

After a while, the sound of gongs and drums was heard.

Someone climbed onto the roof of his house and looked towards the village entrance.

!!!

Someone is really coming!

Judging from his clothes, he should be a soldier stationed on the border.

"Xie's army! Xie's army is here!"

Looking at the piles of firewood loaded on the strange wooden cart behind Xie Jiajun.

Everyone's eyes instantly turned red.

No, I can’t cry in this weather, my eyes will be frozen.

Xie Jiajun drove the strange vehicle frame through the village, throwing things at every house he visited.

All the firewood they brought was thrown into the villagers' yards.

Many people at home cried uncontrollably as they watched bundles of dry firewood falling from the sky.

They all knelt in the yard and kowtowed to the soldiers of Xie's army.

The Xie Jiajun who came out on the mission looked at each other and saw the hidden tears in each other's eyes.

Yan Xiucai is truly a man of great foresight. She saved countless lives in the North this time.

He is calm and composed at a young age, and cares about the people.

Mr. Yan will definitely become a good official in the future, a good official who truly cares about the people!

They rode the scooters back to report.

When the villagers saw the soldiers leave, they stood up from the snow and took the firewood into the house and piled it up.

He was still muttering how grateful he was to Xie Jiajun.

The elderly people in the family were all kneeling and kowtowing in the direction of Xie's army's camp.

For a time, the three words "Xie Family Army" were deeply engraved in the hearts of the people in the north.

This is just the beginning. When the snow stops, the disaster will be over.

Xie's army will receive unprecedented support from the people.

The soldiers completed their mission and drove their empty vehicles through the snow.

Two people shared a cart, with skis on their legs and a cart frame pulled behind them. They sped along the way and soon returned to the camp.

It's a bit like the speed of a modern car.

Before the snowstorm hit, Yan Nansheng had developed a larger version of the sled that was adapted to the local environment.

He also worked with the second uncle of the Yan family to improve the cart frame that could be used to carry things.

Xie Yanli, who came to transport the supplies, took the vehicle back to the military camp, and stepped up the training of a group of soldiers on how to operate this strange vehicle.

At first the soldiers were all confused, but when the snow grew thicker and blocked the doors of the people's homes.

The soldiers then realized that their hard training during this period was not in vain.

Looking at the faces of the people who were flushed with gratitude and so excited that they couldn't cry.

The old man knelt down and kowtowed to them to express his gratitude.

They thought that the firewood they sent gave the people hope of survival.

The soldiers of Xie's army felt that no matter how hard it was, it was worth it.

General Xie was staring at the blueprint in front of him in a daze in his tent.

This is a weapon called a crossbow.

General Xie saw the value of this weapon without Yan Nansheng's explanation.

The crossbow is equipped with a set of six exquisite arrow slots, which can load multiple arrows at the same time for continuous firing.

Each arrow slot is designed very precisely to ensure that arrows can be loaded quickly and accurately, saving a lot of time in loading arrows.

If you move slowly on the battlefield, you will be killed by other people's arrows.

Multi-shot crossbows can reduce this situation.

The crossbow part adopts a complex structure and is simple and convenient to operate. You only need to gently pull the trigger to quickly fire the arrow.

The six-shot crossbow has excellent range and lethality.

Yan Nansheng also designed a button that can fire single or multiple times.

Its powerful elasticity makes the arrow shot out at an extremely fast speed, passing through space in an instant and inflicting a fatal blow to the enemy.

Coupled with its six-shot burst mode, it becomes a formidable weapon that can play a huge role whether it is used for hunting or combat.

General Xie picked up the small crossbow on the table and fiddled with it in his hands.

According to Yan Nansheng's annotations on the blueprint, General Xie successfully fired a crossbow at the target placed in the tent.

The sound of "swoosh, swoosh, swoosh" was heard, followed by a scream from outside.
