Shen Ning lay in his arms and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, feeling very relieved.
He completely understood what she meant.
"Ning'er, you are right. Even if you have the Push Mountain Crossbow, I should not start a war. Your purpose of giving me the Push Mountain Crossbow is not to make my army of Western Chu invincible on the battlefield. , but I hope that after we have powerful weapons, the countries that are eyeing us will not dare to invade Xichu easily. A wise king should think about how to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and live a peaceful and happy life, instead of frequently. Creating killings and wars, Ning'er, fortunately you are by my side to remind me, otherwise I would have become a foolish king immersed in wars and killings!"
Mo Chuan raised the corners of his lips in a self-deprecating smile, but his heart was secretly on guard, and his back was covered in cold sweat.
so close!
Ever since he got the blueprint of the Mountain Pushing Crossbow, he had indeed been thinking a lot. He thought about training a strong army of elite soldiers, producing a large number of Mountain Pushing Crossbows, and relying on the power of the Mountain Pushing Crossbow. Defeated the Eastern Qin army like a torrent...
He wanted to take back the land annexed by Eastern Qin, and also marched his troops directly into the capital of Eastern Qin, marched to the city, and asked Eastern Qin to hand over the imprisoned emperor, and then defeated Eastern Qin, which had been arrogant in front of Western Chu for many years...
He also thought that after defeating Eastern Qin, he would send troops to Nanyue and include this country that had always been ill-intentioned towards Western Chu into the territory of Western Chu...
Of course, all this will not happen overnight. He has to slowly deploy and plan. He believes that the day will come true soon!
His whole mind was stirred by this ambition and pride.
Until now!
Mo Chuan suddenly realized that if he wanted to realize all this, he would inevitably bring years of war to the people. Countless soldiers would lose their lives in the war, and the people would lose their loved ones and their homes where they could live and work in peace and contentment.
Thinking of this, cold sweat could not help but trickle down his back, and large drops of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Ning'er, it's my fault. I misunderstood your real intention of pushing the crossbow to me. It's because my murderous intention is too strong. I..."
"No, Mo Chuan, you are not murderous, but ambitious. As an emperor, you must have ambition. But now you finally understand it, that's good, I feel very happy."
Shen Ning kept watching his expression, and the complex expressions in his eyes did not escape her eyes.
Seeing his eyes that finally became clear and firm, she couldn't help but smile slightly.
He finally understood her thoughts!
She wanted Xi Chu to become so powerful that foreign enemies would not dare to invade. Only by possessing powerful weapons would she have this capital.
But being strong doesn't mean being aggressive.
As an emperor with vengeance and ambition, how can he restrain his growing ambition and not start a war with a strong military force? This is the most difficult thing to do!
Fortunately, Mo Chuan finally thought of it and finally did it!
"You silly girl, you have such good intentions. You could have told me these words from the beginning. Do you think I will go my own way and not listen to anyone?" Mo Chuan stroked her hair and smiled.
There is peace in his eyes now, and there is peace in his heart, like a smooth plain, suddenly enlightened.
