In November, Beisha City was covered in ice and snow, and the vast area outside the city was covered with snow.

Not far away, there were scattered people walking on the Ming River extending from Yuancheng, and some were breaking ice to get water.

However, thirty miles away, across the Ming River, a densely packed army was rapidly marching. Silver armor moved silently through the snow-covered bushes.

In the center of the team, a white-robed general on horseback waved his whip and shouted to the troops, "Speed up! We must reach Lanchen Avenue today!"

Lanchen Avenue, the only way from Beishacheng to Chenzhou, is through Lancheng. The road is flanked by mountains, and the foothills are covered with forests, making it the perfect location for an ambush.

As long as these 50,000 soldiers and horses are hidden on the sides of the two mountains, then as soon as the Chengfeng Army enters the encirclement, they will be wiped out in one fell swoop!

That’s the Chengfeng Army!

If they destroy the Chengfeng Army, their army will be remembered in the history of Beidi for thousands of years!

However, the visitors did not know that all their actions were being watched by a pair of eyes in the dark.

Three days later.

Shu He has been tinkering with wood these days.

While reading, Baili Moqing's eyes would unconsciously drift to the crabapple tree outside the yard.

It snowed again in Beisha City these days, and the crabapple trees were covered with snow. But that woman was not afraid of the cold at all, and she always liked to tinker with things under the crabapple tree.

A gust of wind blew, and the snow foam on the tree fell down with the wind and landed on the woman's black hair. The woman seemed unknown.

"what is she doing?"

Baili Moqing looked at the wood of different lengths and thicknesses and asked in confusion.

Nanqi glanced at the yard and replied, "They said they wanted to make a weapon that was light, fast, lethal, and easy to use."

That's what she told him.

After hearing this, he couldn't help but sarcastically say, "You're a woman, and you can actually make something like this? You have to remember, you're a doctor, not an armorer! If you do it, how can others survive?"

But she not only didn't give up, she even made a bet with him!

Thinking of the bet, Nan Qi felt a little nervous. This woman couldn't do it, right?

Looking at the serious look on the woman's face, he showed dissatisfaction. "This woman, instead of trying to cure your illness, she keeps researching some random weapon. She really can't tell the difference between the important and the trivial!"

Baili Moqing glanced at him. Why did he always feel that Nanqi would become impetuous whenever he encountered the matter of the bundle of wheat?

"Go and see."

Nanqi paused for a moment, then immediately pushed his wheelchair into the yard.

"What did you do?"

Shu He turned around and handed him the half-assembled thing in his hand. "Look, what does this thing look like?"

"This wooden arm looks like a bow," he said.

"Very smart." Shu He praised with a smile.

Baili Moqing's face froze. Why did he feel like she was mocking him? Such an obvious wooden arm, anyone could see it was like a bow, and her praise was so sincere, it seemed like she was teasing him.

"Who would use such a thick bow? Moreover, the bow is too short and too small. It will break with a little force, right? Can it be used for shooting arrows?" Nanqi looked down on the clumsy and thick bow, and disdain flashed in his eyes.

Shu He rolled his eyes at him and said, "I didn't say I wanted to make a bow."

What she wants to make is an improved version of the Warring States Crossbow!

"Yesterday I asked Beiji, and he told me that no army in Tianqi today has a crossbow team. This is because crossbows became extinct hundreds of years ago. Nowadays, most people have only heard of the word 'crossbow' but have never seen what a real crossbow looks like. So, on a whim, I thought of making one and showing it to you."

"Crossbow?!" Baili Moqing's eyes flashed, "Can you make a crossbow?"

"How is that possible?" Nan Qi said in disbelief. "The crossbow was lost three hundred years ago. There's not a single word about it in the world today. How could you possibly know anything about it?"

"I'm knowledgeable and talented!" Shu He raised his eyebrows and glanced at him.

This Nanqi always likes to doubt her!

"Don't forget the bet we made! If I succeed, you must find me the best internal martial arts technique in the world. Otherwise, all the money you earn in the next ten years must be given to me!"

Nanqi's face froze, and he snorted coldly, "I don't believe you can make a crossbow!"

"What do you know? You idiot!" Shu He chuckled and retorted. This time, he was going to bleed a lot of money! Even if he couldn't get the world's best internal energy technique, he would still make a fortune!

"What is that?" Baili Moqing didn't know that there was such a thing between them. He just looked at the copper pieces on the ground curiously. The shapes were very strange.

Shu He saw the direction of his finger, and his eyes immediately turned into crescents. "I said you are smart. You grasped the core point at a glance!"

Shu He praised sincerely, picking up the things on the ground and explaining them one by one.

"This is called the Watching Mountain. The raised corner of the Watching Mountain is called the Teeth. This is the Hanging Blade and the Hook Heart. These parts are called the 'Guo', which is the core of the entire crossbow..."

She explained to him in detail, and before they knew it, their heads were very close to each other. The two people who were communicating deeply did not notice anything wrong at the moment, but they scared Nanqi who was standing next to them.

If it were in the past, any woman who dared to get so close to the master would have been thrown eight hundred miles away!

But why is it that now, Master, you are not at all opposed to women?

Could it be that his "misogyny" has been cured?

Suddenly, a man appeared at the Chuihua Gate, with a flash of sword light, and attacked with a powerful and dangerous sword energy.

The sword was pointing at Shu He.

Baili Moqing looked up instantly and subconsciously pulled the people around him behind his wheelchair.

At this time, Nanqi jumped up and kicked the sword out of the man's hand with one kick, and kicked the man in the chest with the other kick.

"boom!"

The stone chair was knocked away, and a black figure fell heavily under another crabapple tree in front of the yard.

"How dare you draw your sword in front of the prince, Nangong Xin, you are so brave!" Nanqi's whole body was solemn and cold, without any trace of the foolish and flustered look just now.

Shu He got up from the ground. Baili Moqing had just pulled her to the ground. The new dress she had just worn today was dirty again!

She stared at the person who came in angrily. Who is this? It's so strange!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The man stood up despite the severe pain, his face slightly grim and full of resentment, "This woman has made Yun'er unable to speak anymore. Your Majesty, why didn't you kill her? Why did you keep her alive?!"

Baili Moqing looked indifferent. He didn't expect him to come.

Nangong Xin, Nangong Xiyun's third brother.

I think it was Nangong Xiyun who wrote a letter to the Nangong family, which made the hot-tempered Nangong Xin come to their door.

But, wasn't he in Kyoto? How did he end up in Beisha City so soon?

At this time, Beiji came from the front yard, followed by a group of people.

Baili Moqing immediately understood.

"Your Highness, the Princess has sent someone to visit you."
