Hua Qingxue remembered Fu Tingye telling her several times not to leave the yard.
Could it be that those shadow guards are hiding in the courtyard? —There are people hiding in the empty yard. It’s a bit scary to think about it.
Fu Tingye seemed to understand what she was thinking and said, "Any suspicious person within ten feet of you will be discovered by the shadow guards."
Hua Qingxue nodded clearly. She pressed Fu Tingye's hand and wanted to drink water, but found that the cup was empty.
Fu Tingye stood up and poured water and said, "Wu Xinyao's people tampered with yesterday's wine. I changed the wine in advance, but the pot you drank from was not changed. Don't worry, Nanzhao's drug will not hurt you." I just feel lethargic and lethargic. Drinking more tea will naturally resolve it."
"Well..." She really felt like she hadn't woken up.
Fu Tingye brought tea to her, Hua Qingxue drank some tea and lay down again - the crisis was over, and she wanted to sleep peacefully.
Fu Tingye was stunned when he saw Hua Qingxue closing her eyes again. He didn't know how to evaluate Hua Qingxue for a moment...
Should I say she's mentally tough or heartless? How could she still be in the mood to sleep when she was almost kidnapped
"Don't you ask why?" Fu Tingye said.
Hua Qingxue's eyes opened a little, "Why?"
Fu Tingye: "..."
never mind.
He and Wu Xinyao have been scheming and scheming for a long time. There is no need for Hua Qingxue to know about these things.
He turned around and walked out, "You can rest."
"General." Hua Qingxue lay on the bed and blinked, "Did anything happen between you and Princess Nanzhao ten years ago?"
Fu Tingye paused and looked back at her, "Did you hear what they said?"
they? Uh... Those maids didn't mention what happened ten years ago. They just kept saying that she was not as noble and beautiful as the princess. In short... she just wasn't worthy of him...
But Hua Qingxue would not say this to Fu Tingye.
She smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, General, I'm going to sleep first."
Fu Tingye looked at her suspiciously and left the camp.
Wu Xinyao's impromptu plan was discovered by Fu Tingye. It did not hurt Hua Qingxue at all, nor did it have much impact on her life. Instead, it made her understand one thing -
Fu Tingye had other women in his past life.
In fact, it's not surprising when you think about it. Fu Tingye is already twenty-eight years old. In ancient times, for a man of this age, his children would be spoiled, right
There was no reason for her to demand that his love history be blank...
But I still felt a little uncomfortable.
Hua Qingxue thought to herself that if his predecessor was just an ordinary lady, she might not think too much about it, but she turned out to be a high-ranking princess...
It was precisely because her status was too noble that it slightly... stung her inferiority complex.
This feeling is like suddenly knowing that your boyfriend has dated the president's daughter, so you feel uneasy, full of self-confidence, and worried that you are not good enough...
Sure enough... without comparison, there is no harm.
"... This woman looks quite ordinary. In terms of appearance, she is far worse than a princess."
"You must have taken a fancy to those weapons! Otherwise, why would a dignified general of a country marry such a woman with no status?"
The maid's words were still ringing in her ears, and Hua Qingxue thought to herself: It's not bad to be able to take a fancy to weapons. At least I have some merits...
It was obvious that he wanted to marry her, so what on earth was she worrying about
Hua Qingxue's advantages as a science student were fully demonstrated at this time. She didn't feel sad about the spring and autumn at all. She turned around and threw away these thoughts and devoted herself to scientific and technological inventions -
Not long after, news came from Nanzhao that they wanted to buy weapons.
Hua Qingxue felt that the psychological quality of ancient people was really tough!
If she were Wu Xinyao, she would be so embarrassed that she would never contact Fu Tingye again after she went back. But people have a clear distinction between public and private matters, so what if she was caught in a kidnapping? Negotiate deals and negotiate prices as usual without any interference.
And Fu Tingye was not surprised at all, as if he let Wu Xinyao go just for this day to do business with Nanzhao.
Hua Qingxue didn't have to worry about how many weapons to sell and what price to sell them for. She stayed in the firearms camp and focused on making glass with Su Shaowen.
After this period of rush work, the firearms camp has reached a certain scale and the main facilities have been completed.
Hua Qingxue asked the craftsmen from the iron camp to make two iron pipes as blowpipes. In fact, the best glass blowpipe should be made of nickel-chromium alloy, but she currently has no way to make such a blowpipe, so she can only use steel as a temporary substitute.
"Theoretically, you use this blowpipe to pick up a ball of glass... and blow it while turning it like this."
Hua Qingxue gave Su Shaowen a demonstration, but she had no theoretical knowledge. It was her first time blowing glass, and her movements seemed very clumsy. “… First blow out an inner cavity, and then pick out the glass frit. My voice is getting louder and louder..."
Hua Qingxue wiped her sweat. The glass on her blowpipe was blown like a giant peanut. It was thin in some places and thick in others. It felt very embarrassing.
Su Shao studied literature very seriously. He followed Hua Qingxue's actions and asked her, "Is that so?"
Hua Qingxue turned around and saw that the glass material on Su Shaowen's blowpipe formed a hollow circle, forming the prototype of a glass.
She couldn't help but secretly marvel, talent is really incomparable. Even if Su Shaowen has always been exposed to lead-barium glass, now he can make soda-lime glass, which is a hundred times better than hers.
"Yes, even so, if you want to increase the length, shake it hard, or use a top plate to stick the glass and pull it while blowing. This method is mainly used to make glass tubes or glass rods."
When Su Shaowen heard this, he exerted a little force on his wrist and flicked it -
The glass ball immediately stretched due to the force of the swing, and suddenly became thick at both ends and thin in the middle.
"This..." Su Shaowen looked at the glass material on the blowpipe in confusion, and couldn't help but look at Hua Qingxue.
Hua Qingxue was also stunned, "Uh...it doesn't matter, after all, this is our first time."
The speed and strength of the blowing air, as well as the movement of the craftsman holding the blowpipe, will have an effect on the shape of the glass. To blow out your ideal shape requires constant trial and error, which is not an easy task.
"No craft can be mastered overnight." Hua Qingxue comforted Su Shaowen, "The more you practice, the more you will master the tricks. It all depends on personal feeling. I can't teach you. In the future, you will You will know that if you blow it too thin, the glass will break easily; if you blow it too thick, it will affect the use and increase the cost. Take your time... "
Su Shaowen nodded, with a determined expression on his slightly immature face, and said seriously: "Master, don't worry, I will practice hard."
Hua Qingxue smiled: "You have to practice hard, my still is counting on you."
Su Shaowen also laughed, revealing a row of small, waxy white teeth, which looked very cute against his pink and pink face.
Hua Qingxue thought to herself that her new apprentice was so cute, she looked like a little girl at first glance...
Liang Wensheng suddenly ran in in a hurry, gasping for breath, "Master, the general has sent someone to pick you up!"
"Did something happen?" Hua Qingxue asked.
When she was in the firearms camp, Fu Tingye knew that she was busy with something and usually didn't bother her.
"I didn't say anything." Liang Wensheng shook his head, "But it must be a very important matter. The general sent General Hai Shixuan to pick you up in person."
"...I'll go take a look." Hua Qingxue took off her apron, "If anything happens here, you can come back to me."
After leaving the door, she saw the carriage parked not far away. When Haishixuan saw her, he called to the soldiers driving the carriage to drive the carriage over.
Hua Qingxue got on the carriage and asked, "Did something happen?"
Haishixuan said: "The envoy from Daliao has sent the peace negotiation documents. The general has called everyone together to discuss and asked you to come over."
"Peace negotiation document?!" Hua Qingxue opened her eyes in surprise!
The war hasn't even started yet, but peace is about to be negotiated? !
During the period when the Liao soldiers were at peace, Hua Qingxue thought they would come up with some way to fight against the Thunder Thunder. After all, although this weapon was powerful, it had poor maneuverability and was not invulnerable.
Zhentian Lei needs to be used in conjunction with the trebuchet. It takes enough time from loading, aiming, ignition, and final ejection. Therefore, if the Liao soldiers disperse the marching team and send out troops in a guerrilla style, Zhentian Lei will not be able to exert its power.
No matter what you say, you shouldn’t give in without even giving it a try!
This is completely inconsistent with Daliao's tough style in the past.
"Could it be that... Nanzhao used our weapons to scare the Liao soldiers?" Hua Qingxue murmured to herself in surprise.
Haishixuan smiled and shook his head, "No, Daliao's 100,000-strong army retreated after pressing the border. They did not start a fight."
Hua Qingxue's eyes widened even more.
Full of doubts, she followed Haishixuan to the Qingzhou camp.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the main tent, they saw generals of all sizes in the military camp walking out of the tent.
When everyone saw Hua Qingxue, smiles appeared on their faces, and they all greeted her familiarly—
"Miss Hua is here."
"Hello, Miss Hua."
Someone smiled narrowly and said, "Miss Hua, the General is waiting for you. I'm all looking forward to seeing you."
The man walking behind slapped the man on the back of the head and said, "You are tired of living. If you dare to tease Miss Hua, the general will punish you!"
A group of people left happily.
Hua Qingxue's face turned slightly red, but her heart felt at ease.
It seems that the peace talks between the Liao soldiers are real, at least they are not fraudulent, otherwise, everyone would not be in such a good mood.
Hua Qingxue walked into the camp, and Fu Tingye was looking down at the map on the table.
Probably recognizing her footsteps, Fu Tingye said without raising his head, "Come here."
… So domineering.
Hua Qingxue cursed in her heart, but she still walked over obediently and looked at the map with him.
It doesn't look like... it's a map of Qingzhou.
Hua Qingxue was trying to identify where Da Qi was in the area drawn on this map. At this time, she heard Fu Tingye say: "The Emperor of Daliao took the initiative to have a truce with Da Qi. Not only did he send a truce document, but also Xi, Maps of the three state capitals of He and Mo."
Hua Qingxue looked at him blankly.
What does it mean? …Not only will there be no war, but the state capitals ceded by the late emperor will also be sent back
How could the emperor of Daliao be so generous? !
