After Yuan Bao'er was informed, she never went to the mansion again.

But in the middle of the month, the built thousand-machine crossbow was on the table.

"This crossbow can really shoot dozens of arrows without damage"

Yuan Baoer was very curious.

The chief replied that he had seen them test crossbows.

Yuan Bao'er took it in his hand and weighed it, the weight was not heavy, and he was going to the shooting range to experiment.

As soon as I got up, I heard the soldier report that the left minister came.

"It's just in time," Yuan Bao'er smiled and invited Zuo Xiang to come in and ask him to come and see this Qianji crossbow.

"I just heard that it was done, so I came here."

Zuo Xiang said: "This crossbow has been extremely famous for more than 100 years, and I have always longed for it, so it looks like this."

He smiled and groaned left and right.

Yuan Baoer asked him to go to the shooting range for experiments together.

Zuo Xiang immediately got up and accompanied her very cooperatively.

The shooting range of the Ministry of Engineering is specially used to detect artifacts, and the soldiers will stand up the target and push it away.

Yuan Baoer politely asked Zuo Xiang to test.

Zuo Lian waved his hand repeatedly, "It's old, it's useless, I'll just take a look at this thing, really let me get started, I'm afraid I won't be able to lift my arm tomorrow." ”

Yuan Bao'er smiled and said politely, of course, she didn't let it be tested.

The crossbow was loaded with four arrows, and Yuan Bao'er only felt that the trigger moved slightly, and the arrows were easily shot.

The four branches were sent out almost instantaneously, and the speed was extremely fast.

Everyone went around the target, only to see that the arrow was deeply pierced into the target, and it was very laborious to pull it out.

"This thing is really powerful," Zuo Lian nodded repeatedly.

Yuan Bao'er smiled and took down the Qianji crossbow.

"How can such good things be enjoyed exclusively, and my lord is willing to face the saint with me."

"I'll forget it," Zuo Xiang waved his hand, "This thing can be made, it's all your credit, I won't join in the fun." ”

"How can an adult say that?"

"If there are no drawings and craftsmen you recommend, Yuan is willing and powerless."

Yuan Baoer grabbed Zuo Xiang's sleeve and insisted, "Adults are afraid that Yuan will be greedy"

"My lord, don't worry, although Yuan is a woman, she also knows what faith and righteousness are."

"Yuan can't do anything to turn his back on his friends."

The two said this, and Yuan Bao'er pulled him into the carriage.

Zhang Dalang flicked his whip and sent the two to the edge of the palace.

Yuan Baoer talked and laughed all the way, stayed until she got out of the car, and then pulled Zuo Xiang in.

Brother Yuan had just gotten out of school, and he was very happy to learn that Yuan Bao'er was here.

But when I saw the left phase with a wrinkled face, it was a bit of a sigh.

Zuo Xiang felt a wall in his heart, knelt down and said goodbye.

"Aiqing, get up," he shouted less attentively.

Yuan Bao'er helped Zuo Xiang to get up and took out the Qianji crossbow.

"Your Majesty, look, what is this?"

Brother Yuan came over and glanced at it, "This is the thousand-machine crossbow you said."

"It's exactly this," Yuan Bao'er retracted her hand, very coincidentally avoiding Yuan Ge'er's outstretched hand.

Brother Yuan pouted slightly, not believing that she didn't mean it.

Yuan Bao'er smiled, "This thing is too dangerous, Your Majesty just watch it from a distance." ”

Brother Yuan squinted at the lively Zuo Xiang and glanced at it honestly.

"Aiqing can be tested, how effective is it?"

"It's extremely fast and powerful, and it's really a sharp weapon."

"That's not much to do"

Brother Yuan suddenly came to his senses.

"The cost of this thing is not very expensive, only a little, the process is very cumbersome, especially the spring hook inside, it has to be tempered thousands of times before it can be taken out."

"If you want to build an army, you estimate that it will take at least five years."

"So long"

Brother Yuan was surprised.

Yuan Bao'er nodded, "This is all because the minister is stuck in time, and the implementation period will only be longer." ”

After hearing it for so long, Brother Yuan suddenly lost interest.

"That's it, there is no war left and right for the time being, please ask Aiqing to settle it properly, and discuss it later."

Yuan Baoer said yes and stood aside.

Zuo Xiang asked about the emperor's studies.

Brother Yuan was very impatient, and casually answered to solve it, and said that he was tired and wanted to rest.

Yuan Bao'er came out with Zuo Xiang.

Standing under the palace wall, Zuo Xiang sighed faintly, "Your Majesty is still a child." ”

It sounds good, but it doesn't sound like a good word.

Yuan Bao'er groaned and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is not just a child, or is very childish, and you have to worry a lot about your adult and the right minister in this knowledge." ”

Zuo Xiang sighed with emotion, and he didn't know whether he agreed or sighed.

When he went back to the Ministry of Industry, Yuan Baoer put the drawings and the thousand-machine crossbow into the warehouse, and sealed them.

Seeing her like this, the chief was very puzzled, "My lord, this thing costs a beam, but it is extremely powerful, why don't you build it and ration it to the army." ”

Yuan Bao'er shook her head, her face indescribable.

When the principal saw this, he stopped asking.

The days have returned to the ordinary of the past, and Yuan Baoer is busy every day, and it seems that there are endless things to do.

In the blink of an eye, it was winter, Yuan Baoer wrapped herself into a ball, and shrank in the duty room every day to roast the fire, without even moving.

The principal carefully mentioned a few words, and every time she saw that she didn't care, she had to stop.

One day in the winter moon, Yuan Baoer suddenly didn't come.

The principal was strange, but he didn't dare to go to the house to inquire.

The next day, I heard that Yuan Baoer was pregnant, and the reason why she didn't come yesterday was because of her joy.

The principals rushed to tell each other and discussed whether to come to the door to say goodbye.

As he was talking, Yuan Bao'er came in and smiled when he saw everyone gathered together, "You are all here, just right, it's winter when I see it, I see that the homeless people in the city are still wearing single clothes, if you have something at home that you don't use, you might as well take it out, it can be regarded as a benefit." ”

The principals were stunned for a while, and they all said yes.

Yuan Bao'er smiled and bowed her hand and went back to the room.

It was almost noon, and she asked everyone early if there was anything wrong, and when she learned that there was nothing, she retreated early.

After making sure she was gone, everyone started talking.

It seems that this kind of relief to the poor is just, it is generally done by the inner family, in previous years, it was the wife of the right minister and the wife of the left minister to do the east, please ask the officials and their relatives to come to the government to discuss.

But this year, because of the bad relationship between the two, the matter was put on hold.

Yuan Baoer went back to pack up her clothes and asked Zhang Dalang to pack them.

waited until the next day's court meeting, Yuan Bao'er mentioned this matter in the court.

The court instantly fell silent, and everyone, including Brother Yuan, was looking at the right and left phases.

This time, the right phase has obviously undergone a lot of vicissitudes, and his cheeks are sunken, but his spirit is still quite strong.

Zuo Xiang smiled and stepped forward and said: "This matter was prepared by the right minister's family in previous years, and it was very hard to deal with all aspects of affairs. ”

Right Xiang smiled and waved his hand.

"But this year, since you haven't prepared yet, you might as well change places."

Zuo Xiang raised his voice a little, "I heard that the first emperor rewarded Lord Yuan's mansion with a scene, and I have always longed for it. ”

"Now I don't know if I can have a good eye."

Yuan Bao'er smiled and arched her hand, "The door of my house is open, if you want to see it, you can do it at any time." ”

"It's just a matter of preparation," she smiled, touching her belly, "there's nothing you can do." ”
