"Madam, the general wrote that the war ahead is urgent and we don't know when the new Sky Thunder will be sent over." Zhao Sheng came to Hua Qingxue with a trace of worry on his face.
"Wen Sheng, have those batches of cannon barrels been produced?" Hua Qingxue asked Liang Wensheng after hearing this.
"Master, it's almost over." Liang Wensheng reported truthfully.
"Steward Zhao, go back to the general and the new Sky Thunder will be delivered within three days!" Hua Qingxue said to Zhao Sheng seriously.
"Okay ma'am."
"By the way, how did the investigation I asked you to investigate go?" Hua Qingxue suddenly thought of the last batch of problematic goods.
"It has been found out." Zhao Sheng said in a low voice.
"Wen Sheng, speed up the process today and finish the cannon barrel before tomorrow morning." Hua Qingxue did not ask Zhao Sheng again, she turned to Liang Wen Sheng and said.
"I understand, Master." Liang Wensheng walked out and closed the door.
"Okay, tell me!" Hua Qingxue sat down and looked at Zhao Sheng.
"Someone has subcontracted the goods." Zhao Sheng told Hua Qingxue the results of his investigation with a solemn expression.
"Did someone instigate it or..." Hua Qingxue lowered her head and pondered, who was it that had the idea for her
"Someone is instigating this!" A trace of complexity flashed in Zhao Sheng's eyes.
"Is that true?" Hua Qingxue raised her eyes in disbelief.
Zhao Sheng didn't know what to say. This matter involved too much, and he was a little surprised after investigating.
"Who is it?" Hua Qingxue stared at him closely, holding on to her clothes. The way Zhao Sheng hesitated to speak made her feel uneasy.
"It's Xiao Han, the crown prince of Liao." Zhao Sheng told the results of his investigation.
"What? It's him!" Hua Qingxue never expected that the troublemaker was Xiao Han. What was Xiao Han's purpose? Hua Qingxue vaguely felt that things were not that simple.
"I secretly sent people to investigate this matter in the past two days, but unexpectedly I found out such results." Zhao Sheng's face also looked a little ugly.
Hua Qingxue rubbed her forehead with a headache. She suddenly missed her days in Panshui City.
"Housekeeper, what exactly is Xiao Han's plan?" Hua Qingxue frowned. She couldn't figure out what Xiao Han meant.
"Madam, if you ask me, I don't know..." This sentence stumped Zhao Sheng. He was not the prince of Liao, Xiao Han, so how could he know what he wanted to do.
"You must strictly monitor all goods, especially during transportation. You must find some reliable candidates and don't let Xiao Han have any chance to take advantage of it." Hua Qingxue said with a serious face and cold eyes. There is a hint of majesty in it.
"Madam, are you saying that the prince of Liao Kingdom will also pay attention to the goods?" After hearing this, Zhao Sheng expressed the doubts in his heart. He looked at Hua Qingxue. He didn't know whether he was dazzled or something, but he turned out to be from Hua Qingxue. Snow saw the figure of the general on his body. Is this the so-called sign that two people will look alike after being together for a long time
"Yes, since he wants to do something, he must be targeting more than just goods!" Hua Qingxue said based on her understanding of Xiao Han.
"Don't worry, madam, I will definitely send more people during the transportation process!" Zhao Sheng said seriously. There was a problem with the goods last time, which made him feel a little guilty.
"Steward, you go back and check the other batches of goods in a moment. I just said that Xiao Han has been interested in it more than once, so the other batches of goods must have been tampered with before they were handed over to other countries. , quickly send someone to stop the cargo ship and check it!" Hua Qingxue suddenly thought of something and said to Zhao Sheng quickly.
"Madam, please don't worry. There are some restrictions on sea transportation due to weather problems recently. We haven't shipped out several other batches of goods yet. I will ask someone to check it when I get back soon. Madam, don't worry." Zhao Sheng looked at her anxious look. , quickly comforted her.
He was suddenly glad that the recent bad weather had affected the ship, otherwise the loss would have been huge, not just in terms of money.
"Huh, okay, okay." Hua Qingxue patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Madam, if I have nothing else to do, I'll go back first." Zhao Sheng also wanted to go back early to check if there were any problems with the remaining batches of goods.
After Zhao Sheng left, Hua Qingxue was left sitting alone in the hall.
"Madam." Luo Muyu came in holding the child.
"Come, sit down quickly." Hua Qingxue saw her and immediately smiled in her eyes.
Luo Muyu hugged his daughter and sat on the chair. The little girl blinked her big eyes in disbelief.
"Have you decided on a name for her?" Hua Qingxue asked, teasing the little one in Luo Muyu's arms.
"Master Lu has already given her a name." Luo Muyu said with a smile on his face.
"What's it called?" Hua Qingxue's eyes flashed, a little curious.
"The name is Lu Dongxue. She was born in winter, and it was the snowing season, so she named her Dongxue." Luo Muyu had a smile in her eyes, and it seemed that she was also very satisfied with the name.
"Dongxue..." Hua Qingxue repeated it repeatedly, which actually had the same word as her name. When she looked at Lu Dongxue, a smile appeared on her lips, "There is snow in your name, and there is snow in my name. "
The little guy seemed to understand and kept giggling while looking at Hua Qingxue.
"Mu Yu, look, she is smiling at me!" Hua Qingxue showed joy on her face. She liked this little guy very much.
"Seeing that you like her so much, why don't you marry the general and have a child soon!" Luo Muyu looked at her with a smirk on his face, and Hua Qingxue blushed, feeling a little embarrassed to be teased like this.
"This is the period of national mourning, what are you talking about?" Hua Qingxue's little daughter's shy posture was fully displayed, and Luo Muyu laughed softly.
"Where is Lu Zhengqing? Why didn't you see him?" Hua Qingxue seemed to have not seen him for a few days.
Luo Muyu felt a little embarrassed: "Have I finished giving birth? Master Lu went to his hometown to pick up my parents."
"I wonder why I haven't seen him in a few days." Hua Qingxue smiled.
"I left in a bit of a hurry that day. I didn't tell my wife, so don't be surprised," Luo Mu said.
The little one in her arms seemed to be curious about what the two people were talking about. She bit her finger and grabbed Hua Qingxue's finger with her other hand.
Hua Qingxue paused. The soft touch felt like an electric shock. She lowered her head and saw the little guy raise a smile when he saw her looking at her.
"This little guy is so cute and grabs people's fingers." Luo Muyu was already used to it when he saw this scene.
"But this is the first time that a baby holds my finger." A soft place in Hua Qingxue's heart seemed to be touched, and there was a different kind of feeling.
"It's so cold, so I'd better pay more attention to keeping warm recently. I've just finished confinement, so don't get caught in the cold." Hua Qingxue warned Luo Muyu carefully.
"I understand ma'am."
The sky gradually darkened, and Huan'er and Xi'er prepared meals.
"Why don't you see Shaowen?" Hua Qingxue glanced around for a week without seeing Su Shaowen, so she turned to ask Liang Wensheng.
"Junior brother went back to his room early today. I just went to call him, and he said he didn't want to eat." Liang Wensheng always felt that Su Shaowen was a little weird today.
"Huan'er will ask the kitchen to cook some of Shaowen's favorite meals later. Come and see her with me." Hua Qingxue ordered Huan'er. She had never been absent from him. What happened today? Hua Qingxue was a little worried about him.
"I understand, madam." After Hua Qingxue said this, Huan'er ran to the kitchen to give instructions.
"Master, I will go with you to see my junior brother after dinner." Liang Wensheng was also a little worried about Su Shaowen.
"Don't follow me. Get some rest early tonight." Hua Qingxue interrupted him, not wanting him to follow her.
Liang Wensheng felt a little disappointed. He didn't know what he was missing. In short, this feeling was very strange and made him feel a little awkward.
"By the way, how is the cannon barrel being manufactured?" The war ahead was urgent, and she was also anxious, fearing that these new batches of thunderbolts would not reach the military camp before the war started.
"Don't worry, Master, it's almost done. The masters plan to work overtime today, so they will be able to make it before tomorrow morning." Liang Wensheng's words were a reassurance, which made Hua Qingxue's worried heart drop.
"That's good. It's been hard work on you and Shaowen these days." Hua Qingxue looked at the two of them who were looking a little haggard these days, and felt a little distressed in her heart. After all, they were also her own disciples.
"It's okay, Master, this is nothing." Liang Wensheng likes to make weapons, no matter how tired he is, he doesn't feel like it's hard.
"Okay, let's eat." Hua Qingxue was also a little hungry, so she picked up the chopsticks.
After dinner. Hua Qingxue did not go directly to see Shaowen, but called Liang Wensheng aside with a solemn expression, as if she had something important to discuss with him.
Liang Wensheng saw Hua Qingxue's solemn expression and asked, "What, master, do you have something to tell me?"
"After this batch of cannon barrels are successfully produced, I need you to help me deliver the thunder and cannon barrels to the border." Hua Qingxue said to him seriously.
After much thought, she really couldn't find a suitable candidate, and with Xiao Han's informants, she could only leave the transportation of Zhentian Lei to someone who made her feel extremely at ease.
"This..." Liang Wensheng was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect that Hua Qingxue would ask him to transport these new thunders.
"I will ask Wu Zhuo to go with you when the time comes, so you two can take care of me on the way. Firstly, Wu Zhuo is good at martial arts, and secondly, you are very thoughtful, so I feel more at ease leaving it to you." Hua Qingxue took the photo. Pat him on the shoulder, this matter can no longer be delayed.
"I will definitely deliver Zhentian Lei to the border intact, master, don't worry!" Liang Wensheng saw Hua Qingxue's solemn expression and knew that this matter was not trivial, so he stopped shirk-shielding, just...
"Master, that little junior brother..." Liang Wensheng hesitated.
"Shaowen can just stay here. Shaowen is weak and you may not be able to take care of him when something happens, so it's better to let him stay." Hua Qingxue didn't plan to let Su Shaowen follow. During the war, Su Shaowen was a girl. She couldn't rest assured, so it was better to stay with her.
After hearing this, Liang Wensheng felt that it made sense, so he said nothing more.
