Chapter 311 Compound Bow
Yun Qing's face was gloomy. He stared at Meng Yun and Fang Xurao and asked in a low voice, "Have you ever found out why Shang Yihai wanted to capture Nuannuan? As far as I know, he shouldn't know her!"
Meng Yun replied solemnly, "I have sent people to investigate this matter, but no news has been received yet."
Fang Xurao pondered for a moment and raised a possibility: "Your Highness, in my humble opinion, Shang Yihai might be trying to blackmail you through Miss Mu."
Yun Qing had actually thought of this before, but then he thought again. Ever since he and Mu Qingcheng met, they had been hiding in the bamboo forest. Aside from that trip to Yongkang County, Mu Qingcheng had rarely appeared in public. So, how did Shang Yihai know Mu Qingcheng's identity and identify her?
Yun Qing: "Let's find out about this as soon as possible. Where are Cang Xu and Cang Huai now?"
When mentioning these two people, Yun Qing wanted to kill them right now. If they dared to hurt his Nuannuan, it would be worth it if they died a hundred times.
"Mo Xue has already led people to chase them. There's no news yet. If they can't catch up, they should be back soon. However, they are both probably seriously injured. With Mo Xue's Qinggong skills, they shouldn't be a problem."
Yun Qing was a little worried about Mo Xue: "Send someone to find Mo Xue! Have you found the remaining two people?"
The situation was urgent at the time and no one paid attention to the four of them. If Yun Qing hadn't arrived in time, no one would have known that Cang Xu and Cang Huai had actually gone to assassinate Mu Qingcheng. Cang Nan and Cang Hua were also missing.
Meng Yun shook his head in shame!
Yun Qing frowned, thinking. Two thousand border guards were blocking the road below, and there was a Chang Youliang in the rear with ulterior motives! And in the shadows, four deadly assassins were waiting for the right moment! Everywhere was filled with deadly people!
Yun Qing handed the letter he had just written to Meng Yun: "Send a pigeon to Mo Yu immediately and ask him to send more people over! The rest of the people should be on standby in Jiangzhou! And send this letter to the capital!"
Meng Yun took the letter and went out, and came back in a cup of tea!
Mu Qingcheng sat at the desk and kept writing and drawing until she finished the last picture.
She suddenly asked, "Will those border guards attack the villagers to vent their anger when they retreat to Fangjia Village?" This was what Mu Qingcheng was most worried about.
The three of them were silent for a moment, and Fang Xurao said, "Probably not at the moment. Those villagers are still of some use to them."
Yun Qing quietly explained to Mu Qingcheng the uses Fang Xurao had mentioned. There were only two uses: first, to allow villagers to serve as human shields in battle, and second, to be used as hostages.
Mu Qingcheng was even more worried: "How are the village chief and the others?"
Fang Xurao: "The villagers suffered heavy casualties. My eldest cousin was only slightly injured. We temporarily placed them by the pond."
"The situation is urgent! We are few in number, so having good weapons will help us achieve twice the result with half the effort. This is the compound bow!" Mu Qingcheng showed Yun Qing the picture she had just drawn.
She drew a simplified version of a compound bow, along with a disassembly diagram. Mu Qingcheng explained each one to Yun Qing.
"This is just a simple version. There are more complex ones. I'll draw them for you when I have time in the future."
Mu Qingcheng's brother, Mu Qingyan, was particularly fond of these cold weapons and could even make and assemble a very complex compound bow. Mu Qingcheng often helped his brother draw diagrams, so he was very familiar with these weapons.
"Its pulling force is much easier than that of an ordinary bow and arrow, and its range is three to five times that of an ordinary bow and arrow..."
For boys, weapons are like an irresistible temptation. This was especially true for Yun Qing. If it weren't for the two outsiders present, he would have been unable to contain his excitement and would have hugged Mu Qingcheng and kissed her twice.
"...This bow would be best made of a soft, yet tensile material. However, for now, we can only use local materials. I see there's plenty of bamboo here, so why not make one out of that?"
As long as it was Mu Qingcheng who said it, Yun Qing would agree! Meng Yun had long been envious, his neck stretched out, and he blamed the Crown Prince in his heart for not letting him take a look.
Yun Qing couldn't let go of the pictures and turned them over and over again. The more he looked at them, the more he thought they were ingenious. "I'll find someone to do it right away!"
Mu Qingcheng: "There is a carpenter in Fangjia Village who has superb craftsmanship. I don't know how he is doing. If he is still alive, we can ask him to help us."
Fang Xurao, who was standing nearby, heard Mu Qingcheng talking about the people from Fangjia Village and quickly stood up. "Leave this matter to me! I'll go to the pond and ask around. I'm also worried about them, so I'll take this opportunity to go there."
Yun Qing thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Master Fang! We can also invite Village Chief Fang along! I want to thank him, too!"
Fang Xurao hurriedly said a few polite words: "I don't deserve it! I don't deserve it! It's just a small effort, Your Highness is too polite." After that, he saluted Yun Qing and then left the tent.
Finally, Yun Qing solemnly handed the blueprint to Meng Yun, repeatedly reminding him that the blueprint was extremely important and must be carefully kept and absolutely not damaged. He told him to have someone copy it and then return the original to him. This was his little girl's painstaking drawing.
Meng Yun took the blueprint, carefully holding it in his hands, repeatedly assuring him that he would do it, practically swearing. Only then did Yun Qing reluctantly let go. Then, he turned and left, looking for someone to start making a compound bow.
It was already daybreak! When only Yun Qing and Mu Qingcheng were left in the tent, Yun Qing hurriedly pulled the little girl into his arms, holding her on his lap and gently rubbing her wrist.
"Are you tired? Do you want to go get some sleep?"
Mu Qingcheng was actually quite tired, but her mind was so excited that she was afraid she wouldn't be able to fall asleep even if she lay down.
She shook her head, and suddenly thought of something and asked Yun Qing, "That Shang Yihai, a small businessman, actually dared to kill officials and civilians in public, treating human lives as worthless. Who gave him the courage?"
Yun Qing had seen this happen so many times that he was already numb to it. This incident was probably just to scare his little girl. He gently put his arm around Mu Qingcheng's waist, letting her lean against him to feel more comfortable.
Yun Qing told her in detail about the situation in the court and Queen Shang's party!
"...The Shang family holds sway over the entire Great Qi State because the current emperor prefers to seek the truth and dislikes government affairs, leaving all court affairs to Shang Jinghuai! The Shang family is now incredibly powerful and has become the biggest pest in the Great Qi State. If the Shang family is allowed to continue to do as they please, the world will surely be in chaos."
"Nuannuan, I don't like imperial power, but I have to do my part. If I don't fight for it, who will stand up for the common people? With things like today, the number of innocent souls killed by the Shang family will only increase."
After hearing this, Mu Qingcheng recalled some stories recorded in history books. Isn't this just about the foreign relatives being in power and causing chaos in the government?
She asked nervously, "Yunqing, is a war about to start?"
Yun Qing didn't want Mu Qingcheng to worry, but
The world is about to fall into chaos, this is an obvious fact.
He sighed softly, "If only my father were still alive, the Great Qi Kingdom would be at its peak right now, with peace and prosperity. I would definitely take you on a journey through the world's mountains and rivers, and live happily ever after!"
Mu Qingcheng's eyes lit up with little stars: "It would be great if it were true! But, by then, will I still meet you?"
"Yes, of course! Our love is destined by God!" Yun Qing was full of confidence.
Mu Qingcheng deliberately hit him: "But there is no reason for you to wander around in the deserted mountains and wait for me to rescue you! Maybe I can save others..."
Yun Qing quickly covered her mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, you can only meet me, and you can only be mine if you do it again a hundred times, a thousand times!"
Mu Qingcheng's mouth was covered by him and she couldn't speak. She could only hum and whine in protest.
The two of them played around for a while, but neither dared to make loud noises, after all, the tent was not very soundproof.
