Chapter 119 - Ballista

Everything fell into place, there were no accidents, and everyone showed great approval of Zhao Fan's accession to the throne, especially after Zhao Fan took out the jade seal of the country.

Zhao Fan's repeated resignations, everyone insisted on the recommendation, and finally Zhao Fan "reluctantly" agreed to the emperor's matter, after some discussion, everyone decided, three days later, to inform the world, hold the enthronement ceremony, and seal the Zen sacrifice to the sky.

And the reason why he decided to ascend the throne in such a hurry, Zhao Fan also has his own considerations, as Qiao Xinchao said, he now needs a justifiable name, on the other hand, ascending the throne at this time can also inspire people, so that everyone can quickly come out of the recent misery.

Zhao Fan had been a little hesitant before, or he had been a little overwhelmed, not understanding what he should do and what his goal was.

ascended the throne in order to force himself, and also to give an explanation to the many people who follow him, what they want, Zhao Fan knows very well.

Scar and Fu Qinghe went to the city to count the results of the battle with Qiao Xinchao, and Kong Du and the two were also arranged to temporarily settle down in the Wei family's property in Luoyang City.

With the current garrison strength in the city, the Qin Zongheng army outside the city has completely lost the threat, and before taking Luoyang City, it is absolutely impossible for them to cross Luoyang City to attack Shaanzhou City, which is almost the same as seeking death.

Of course, Zhao Fan will not take the initiative to attack Qin Zongheng's army, don't look at the current Shouwang army, which is strong and strong, but in fact, there are only about 20,000 people at most, and the other Tuntian troops are full of people, and it's okay to beat the water dogs, but it's a bit of a joke to let them attack the fortifications.

Therefore, the most important work at present is to do a good job in the post-war work in the city, as well as the next spring ploughing problem, and with Zhang Ji, an expert in Tuntian, the work in Tuntian is carried out in an orderly manner.

"Isn't Yi'er awake yet?" Leaving Ziwei Palace, Zhao Fan immediately rushed to the side hall.

At this time, Wei Ruqian was sitting on the edge of the bed, carefully wiping the blood stains on Joey's body.

"The doctor said that Sister Yi'er is physically exhausted, and she may not be able to wake up for a while."

Wei Ruqian put the towel in her hand into the basin to wash it, and continued to wipe Joey's body, while the cyan long sword was still tightly held in Joey's hand.

Zhao Fan nodded and walked to the side of the bed gently, Joey on the bed frowned, as if he was experiencing something unpleasant in his dream.

Zhao Fan gently stroked the hair on Joey's forehead, and his gaze fell on the long sword in Joey's hand.

The cyan long sword was in a decent shape, and the blades on both sides of the sword body flashed a strange red, which must have been the reason for drinking the enemy's blood just now.

The body of the sword is carved with many lines, on which are some flowers, grasses, fish and insects and other animals, and the hilt of the sword is carved with four big characters, "and love non-attack".

Zhao Fan frowned, isn't it the purpose of the Mo family to love and not attack? Could it be that Joey has a relationship with the Mo family?

When he entered the city, he heard Fu Qinghe say that Joey personally held a sword and killed hundreds of enemy soldiers at the head of the city.

And Zhao Fan also looked at the flying fish crossbow imitated by Joey, and also knew about the bed crossbow, and at this moment, coupled with the love and non-attack on this long sword, he suddenly had a rough guess about Joey's identity.

What puzzled her was why Joey hid this from herself, but he also understood that since Joey didn't say it, she naturally had her own troubles.

And no matter what Joey's identity is, in Zhao Fan's place, she will always be his Joey, his favorite woman.

"Qian'er, you've worked hard for all these times." Zhao Fan looked at Wei Ruqian, who had a thin face, suddenly reached out to hold her hand, and said with some guilt.

"Why does the prince have to see the outside like this, the concubine is the prince's woman, and she should share the worries of the prince, a little thing, it's just a matter of the part."

Wei Ruqian's little hand was caught, her little face instantly turned red, and she looked at Zhao Fan a little helplessly, her eyes were completely devoid of her previous calmness, and her heartbeat was like a deer.

Zhao Fan looked at the shy Wei Ruqian, and couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart, and hugged Wei Ruqian in his arms without thinking.

A pair of Zhao Fan's eyes full of love and desire, Wei Ruqian's heart instantly became in a trance, and she was stunned for a moment, and was stopped by Zhao Fan and hugged her, Zhao Fan's shoulders were strong and powerful, Wei Ruqian was very tight, and there was a scorching male breath, which sprayed straight on Wei Ruqian's sensitive ears, which made her body a little soft.

"Lord Wang, let me go, Sister Yi'er is still here."

Wei Ruqian drank softly, which immediately made Zhao Fan sober up, and he also felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the time and occasion, so he hurriedly put Wei Ruqian down again.

"What, General Fu said that there is still something going on in the craftsman's workshop, I'll go over first, and I'll come to see you later."

Zhao Fan touched his head a little embarrassed, and after speaking, he hurriedly ran out of the wing room and went to the craftsman's workshop.

Wei Ruqian looked at Zhao Fan's back and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

……

"Does this represent the bed crossbow made by the princess?"

In the craftsman's workshop, Zhao Fan was standing next to the semi-finished product of a ballista and looked curiously.

Zhao Fan knew the bed crossbow, the power was huge, but it was inconvenient to carry, most of it was used for defense, and later generations installed four wooden wheels under it and converted it into a ballista, in the era when there was no artillery, this thing was the most lethal weapon on the battlefield.

"Yes, Lord Wang."

Fu Qinghe, who was patrolling the city, learned that Zhao Fan had arrived at the craftsman's workshop and hurriedly rushed back.

"Then have you ever thought about installing a baffle under this ballista, and then installing four wheels, so that the bed crossbow becomes a ballista, and it is easy to move, not only for defense, but even for offense."

Zhao Fan nodded and said what he thought in his heart.

As soon as the words fell, Fu Qinghe's eyes lit up, and he, as the person in charge of the craftsman's workshop, instantly reacted that Zhao Fan's idea was completely feasible.

"The prince is talented, and the last general will admire!" Thinking that in the future, a big guy like the bed crossbow can move around, and it can be used to attack the city, Fu Qinghe felt a little excited in his heart, and couldn't help but say to Zhao Fan convincingly.

"This is all the credit of the princess, if there is no bed crossbow, where is the crossbow." Zhao Fan smiled and waved his hand.

"And the things I asked you to study last time, do you have eyebrows?"

"This... The drawings left by the prince are too complicated, and the last general will not be able to comprehend, the last time the princess came to the craftsman's workshop, she seemed to be very interested in the drawings, and the last general gave the drawings to the mother. Fu Qinghe patted his head and said with some embarrassment.

Zhao Fan nodded, it was normal for Fu Qinghe not to understand, he was only temporary, and he was not really dead Fu Qinghe was able to make a musket.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the drawings were taken away by Joey, maybe she could surprise herself, but she didn't know?

The weather is cold, everyone pay attention to the body, the New Year is coming soon, everyone comes back for the New Year, you must pay attention to safety on the road
