The sound of the wind caused by the thick arm was more than a hundred times louder than the sound of the wind caused by a fierce general wielding a spear to sweep across the army!
Under everyone's expectant eyes, the 100 jin stone drew a magnificent parabola.
Boom!
After a loud bang, dust rose in the distance!
"Quick, go check the situation!"
A moment later, the young man in charge of surveying the results of the battle ran over excitedly.
As he ran, he said with tears in his eyes,"450 steps!"
"The maximum range is 450 steps, and the target has been destroyed!”
“......”
As soon as he finished speaking, all the officials and craftsmen from the Ministry of Works were boiling with excitement.
They hugged each other and shouted loudly.
Seeing this, Ye Qing only smiled in relief.
This scene seemed familiar. He had seen it in some documentaries in his previous life.
When the huge black mushroom rose from the desert, the engineers were like this.
Although the era was different and the products were different, they all symbolized the power of a big country.
It was enough to be ahead of others by a hundred years!
Cough cough!
Cough, cough, cough!
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and Ye Qing felt his entire body tremble.
He hurriedly hid behind the carriage and held onto the carriage as he coughed.
He looked at the cheering engineers and laughed as he covered his mouth with a handkerchief.
At this moment, Shangguan Wan 'er was looking at him from afar.
From her angle, she could see Ye Qing's side profile clearly!
She coughed until her face was red and swollen, and she laughed until crow's feet appeared.
Not only that, but she also saw the corner of the handkerchief he used to cover his mouth. Coincidentally, there was a little black blood on that corner!
"Old!"
Her heart tightened and she was about to help Ye Qing up.
"Don't go!"
Shangguan Wan 'er looked at Su Lie and whispered,""Old Zhu Kingdom, the old general, he…"
At this point, Shangguan Wan 'er's bright eyes blinked, and tears welled up.
Su Lie's nose turned sour. His voice trembled as he said,"This is his choice. This is his persistence. This is also his dignity.”
"Just pretend you don't know. Don't tell me everything you saw.”
After Shangguan Wan 'er heard this, she decisively turned around and hid behind Su Lie's carriage, crying silently.
That's right!
This was the last stand of an old general who had served in the army for forty-three years and dedicated everything to the country.
They should be respected, and they should see through it and not expose it.
However, her heart was in so much pain!
She looked at the heavens with a hint of resentment in her eyes.
Why was such a peerless hero tortured like this?
Why didn't good people get rewarded?
At this moment, the Tang engineers who had been in a state of euphoria regained their composure.
At this moment, they remembered the chief designer and chief engineer!
"Old General, you're amazing!"
"Yes, I am!"
"Old General, as expected of Little Gongshu!”
“......”
When Ye Qing heard that, he immediately put the handkerchief back into his big sleeve.
At the same time, he took a deep breath and smiled calmly.""Little Gong loses. How many years ago was it?”
After a small joke, Ye Qing once again concluded,""I won't be accompanying you guys anymore.”
"Do all the experiments, organize the data, and make the operation instructions!”
" At the same time, complete the final manufacturing blueprint. You must build a hundred balanced-weight catapults within thirty days!”
"Songzhou City can't wait much longer!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the craftsmen frowned again.
It seemed a little difficult!
It wasn't that they didn't have enough productivity, but they only had a few people under their control.
He needed to bring a portion out first, and then concentrate on production. Thirty days was a little tight.
"Old General, is there such a rush?" The assistant minister cupped his hands.”
"Are you sure that the Tibetans made the first move?”
"Yes, it must be Tubo." Ye Qing said firmly.”
Ye Qing was very confident about this.
In a few days, the news of his illness would reach the ears of the kings and generals of the various countries.
Putting aside the others, that old friend of the Tibetans would definitely make a move!
After so many years, he still had some foresight.
As a nine-star general, he had to wait for information. If he didn't know how to predict and defend, then he definitely wasn't a qualified nine-star general.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone immediately promised to complete the mission with quality and quantity guaranteed!
As he spoke, Ye Qing boarded his carriage.
Drive!
The moment the carriage set off, Ye Qing was pushed by the inertia, and he instantly felt his blood boiling.
Cough cough!
He removed the handkerchief and saw that he was coughing up blood again.
This time, it wasn't just a speck of blood. It was an area of blood, at least one or two milliliters.
"Master, these catapults are too domineering.”
"Your matter has also been completed. Remember that you have to recuperate well.”
The rider said while tilting his head.
"Good!"
"As the head of the family, I will listen to you.”
"Drive properly and steadily!"
Hehe!
"Alright!"
Just like that, the carriage disappeared from everyone's sight.
Meanwhile, Ye Qing had fallen asleep in the carriage. He was too tired!
However, even when she was asleep, she still had a faint smile on her face!
After watching Ye Qing leave, everyone began to actively experiment again.
After today, there would be an operation manual!
Tomorrow, he would directly start supervising the production!
At this moment, Shangguan Wan 'er's carriage also left.
She was not going home, she was going to the palace!
Noon!
On the third floor of the Sacred Central Crypt, in the royal study!
Shangguan Wan 'er reported Ye Qing's design results and the power of the new catapult.
Under the candlelight, the empress was extremely excited.
"Good!"
"Great! With it, we won't be afraid of this battle!”
Ye Qing, I owe you again."
After Shangguan Wan 'er heard this, she hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to tell the empress the truth.
She should tell the empress about it, whether it was for personal or public reasons.
"Your Majesty, but all of this was done by the old general.”
"I saw him secretly coughing.”
"There's blood on the handkerchief!"
Drink!
Upon hearing this, the empress's fair hand twitched and the brush in her hand fell to the ground.
"Is it serious?"
Then, she gritted her teeth and said these three words with difficulty.
"I don't know!"
"I didn't expose him. I pretended not to see him.”
Wu Zetian closed her eyes and said weakly,"You did the right thing. It's been hard on you.”
"I will take my leave!"
After Shangguan Wan 'er left, Wu Zetian's legs went weak and she sat on the ground.
Her tears fell uncontrollably to the ground.
She shook her head weakly and kept repeating the same sentence.
"Ye Qing, I beg you, Wu Meiniang begs you, don't come to court again!”
"I, Wu Meiniang, beg you, don't come to court again!”
(Please support me, thank you)
