Zhang Meng was so angry that he couldn't speak. Without thinking, he went to grab the blueprint of the catapult. He wanted to see what good thing he was not worthy of using.
Just when Zhang Meng's hand reached out to Qian Jiujiu, Hong Chou suddenly made a move, grabbed Zhang Meng's hand, kicked it hard, and Zhang Meng flew out.
Mu Yexiao's face was already very ugly, and he looked at Zhang Meng and said, "Come here, Zhang Meng is disrespectful to the princess, drag him away and give him thirty lashes."
Xiaoman snorted and placed the trebuchet blueprint in front of Mu Yexiao: "Brother-in-law, look, this thing only needs wood and an iron pot. It's not difficult to make."
"Make it as soon as possible, and then throw fireballs into the enemy's camp to burn all their food. This will cut off their fuel supply. See if the Daning Kingdom still surrenders."
All the generals stretched their necks to look at the so-called trebuchet. Mu Yexiao also lowered his head to look at the trebuchet. He glanced at Xiaoman and said, "Xiaoman, can you explain how to use it?"
Xiaoman came over and said, "See? There are fireballs and rocks in this iron pot. There is a wooden seesaw on one side. If two people stand on it, the rocks on the other side will fly out directly."
When Mu Yexiao heard this, he looked at Qian Jiujiu and asked, "Did you come up with this?"
Qian Jiujiu was about to shake her head when she heard Xiaoman hum, "Yes, my sister just thought of it and rushed to give it to her brother-in-law after she finished drawing it, but she was advised to go home to take care of her husband and children."
Obviously, Xiaoman was still angry about these words! Her pink little face was still red, and another young general who looked a little pale looked at Qian Jiujiu and Xiaoman.
"Princess, Miss Xiaoman, Zhang Meng is just a little impatient. He definitely didn't mean to offend you. Please don't take it to heart."
Before Qian Jiujiu could say anything, Xiao Man shouted out, "You did it on purpose. Don't you know how scary he looks? Can't you see that the princess has such a big belly?"
"If it weren't for the red chips, the princess would have been frightened, and the baby in her belly would have been frightened. It wouldn't be too much to beat Zhang Meng to death. Now it's only thirty lashes. Do you still want to beg for mercy?"
The young general Bai Lian was speechless, but Qian Jiujiu looked at Xiao Man and said, "Okay, Xiao Man, I don't think Zhang Meng did it on purpose. We've already fought, so let's go back first."
"Don't bother the generals' meeting here."
Xiaoman curled her lips. Although she was dissatisfied, since the princess had spoken, she didn't know what to say and followed Qian Jiujiu away.
As soon as Qian Jiujiu left, all the generals rushed forward and looked at the catapult in Mu Yexiao's hand: "Is this really so magical?"
Mu Yexiao just smiled and said, "Let's try it out first. If it works, that would be the best. If not, it will be an extra weapon."
When everyone heard this, they nodded in satisfaction. Mu Yexiao glanced at the pale-faced young general and said, "Zhang Da, go and do this. By the way, check whether Zhang Meng has finished beating him."
Zhang Da immediately followed the order and went forward. Qian Jiujiu had already returned to the tent and looked at Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, why are you so angry today?"
Xiaoman curled her lips and said, "I heard that man's words were rude and he wanted to attack you, so my brother-in-law should have cut off his arm."
Qian Jiujiu was speechless: "I see that you have seen a lot during your time on the battlefield and you are not afraid anymore. You cut off people's hands at any time."
"By the way, has Gu Xiangning been behaving well these days?"
Xiaoman nodded: "He is quite honest. He eats and sleeps in the tent every day. His injuries are almost healed. He even went out of the tent to save people yesterday."
"That guy didn't lie. His medical skills are pretty good. At least those military doctors all praised him."
Qian Jiujiu nodded and said nothing more. Since she didn't sleep well last night, she turned around and went to take a nap. Xiaoman then came out of Qian Jiujiu's tent.
After coming out, he thought of Gu Xiangning and was going to go and play with him. However, just as he arrived in front of Gu Xiangning's tent, he heard screams from inside.
Xiaoman was startled: "Gu Xiangning, what are you doing in there?"
Gu Xiangning was startled when he heard Xiaoman's voice: "Don't come in, it's not convenient inside, I'll be out soon."
Immediately afterwards, screams came from inside one after another. Xiaoman immediately recognized that they were the voices of the Black-Faced General.
Xiaoman immediately understood what had happened inside. It turned out that the black-faced general's military stick had already hit him and was leaving scratches. Thinking of this, Xiaoman felt much better.
Soon Gu Xiangning came out and looked at Xiaoman who was standing at the door: "Why are you here at this time?"
Xiaoman rolled his eyes: "What you said, I can't come over, right? I remember you said you would teach me Qinggong and hidden weapons, so that I can at least protect myself."
"Why don't you just cheat? You've eaten so many of my goodies. If you dare to go back on your word, I'll definitely make you pay."
Gu Xiangning frowned and looked at her: "I am talking to you, you are so young, why are you so fierce? But since this young master has agreed to it."
"Of course I won't regret it. Let's go. I will teach you how to use hidden weapons now. But if you want to learn from me, do you have to call me Master?"
Xiaoman blinked his eyes and said, "You want to be my master? Of course, Master, please accept my disciple's greetings."
Xiaoman bowed directly to Gu Xiangning and said, "Okay, Master, remember to pass on all your eighteen weapons to me in the future. If you dare to keep any of them to yourself, I will never forgive you."
Gu Xiangning was completely confused: "You you you..."
The three consecutive "you"s expressed the shock in Gu Xiangning's heart. It was so simple that there was not even a ceremony, and he was expected to learn all his best skills.
Gu Xiangning suddenly felt that he was at a disadvantage, but looking at Xiaoman's expression, he suddenly couldn't say no. What if this cruel little kid thought he was going to regret it
Seeing Gu Xiangning so excited, Xiaoman was extremely happy: "Master, you are very happy too, right? Right, I am very happy too."
"That's right, Master, you will be able to eat the delicious food that your disciple personally prepares for you every day. Of course you will be happy. Master is also happy about this, right?"
Gu Xiangning saw Xiaoman looking at him happily, and his face suddenly turned red. He thought that as the eldest son of the island, he would go anywhere he wanted if he went out.
He was always treated as a guest of honor, and even the royal family pampered him, so why did he always get humiliated by this little girl
The master once said that he would definitely meet his nemesis and his destined person this time. Could it be this little kid in front of him
When Gu Xiangning thought of this, he swallowed his saliva. He didn't want that, okay? Besides, the kid in front of him was so young. Gu Xiangning was immediately discouraged.
Looking at Xiaoman, he said, "Yes, I am very happy. Let's go and learn from me now. I will tell you that I am very strict."
"Once you start studying, it's impossible to be lazy."
As Gu Xiangning spoke, his face turned serious. Xiaoman had no intention of slacking off. In her previous life, she had some skills.
But her so-called skills were only good enough to beat the little hooligans on the streets in her previous life. When she got here, she was completely vulnerable. Now she finally had a master.
Moreover, he is a master who uses food as a trick. If she doesn't learn from him, then she is stupid.
Arriving at the training ground, there were rows of wooden boards where the soldiers practiced their designs. Gu Xiangning looked at Xiaoman and said, "At your age now, it's a bit late to practice internal strength."
"But don't worry, I will still teach you some internal force skills, but you have to practice them diligently at night. Now, you watch me."
As he spoke, Gu Xiangning picked up a wooden stick from the ground, looked at the wooden board in front of him, and threw it. The wooden stick actually stuck straight in the center of the board like an arrow.
This action startled the people who were practicing archery nearby. My God, how deep is this internal force? Xiaoman also rushed over with an unbelievable look on his face.
Looking at the wooden stick that shot through the red heart in the center of the wooden board, he swallowed and said, "Master, you are really amazing."
"I now have a little faith in you. I believe that you are truly proficient in all eighteen martial arts."
As he said that, Xiaoman looked at Gu Xiangning with ill intention, then ran back to Gu Xiangning, picked up a small stick, and threw it at the wooden board, but he was small and had little strength.
The stick stopped in the middle, which made Xiaoman depressed. He looked up at Gu Xiangning pitifully and said, "Master, this doesn't seem to be suitable for me."
"I'm not practicing internal energy right now, and I don't have the strength in my hands. How about you try something else? Don't you know all eighteen martial arts? How about that?"
Gu Xiangning glanced at Xiaoman thoughtfully and said, "Come with me, Master."
Xiaoman curled her lips. This teacher-teacher spoke quite skillfully. She hummed in her heart and followed Gu Xiangning. The soldiers who were practicing actually followed her out of curiosity.
When they came to the place where the weapons were placed, they looked at the row of weapons. There were exactly eighteen kinds of weapons, including swords, spears, lances, etc. Xiaoman looked at the sword and said, "Master, you can show off your sword skills first!"
After she finished speaking, Xiaoman immediately realized what she said and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh secretly. It suddenly sounded so similar to what the master said, maybe he was just being mean!
Looking at Gu Xiangning's expression, which was still serious and obviously not what he had thought of, Xiaoman laughed and looked at Gu Xiangning and grabbed the sword.
Then they started to fight. Gu Xiangning was a good-looking man, so he looked good in wielding the sword. Each of his moves had its own charm. Xiaoman was simply stunned.
