Xu Xiangli had expected this result, but it was not the same as accepting it, his lips trembled a few times, he forcibly held back his sad emotions, and asked Yao Qi: "Ah Qi, Kedu, write it down." ”

Yao Ji carefully checked those maps, and when he saw that there was nothing missing, he nodded: "Don't worry, Xu Shuguan, I have written it down." ”

Xu Xiangli pursed his lips tightly, trembled his hands, and put away the map.

This thick stack is the result of ten years of hard work and life of the person lying on the kang silently.

Even if you can't make a crossbow, you have to treat it as a treasure.

After the matter was settled, a garrison army came in and properly took care of Wang Wu's body, while Xu Xiangli and several people left the warehouse silently.

It was already completely dark, and I couldn't see my fingers everywhere, I didn't know when it would rain, and the sparkling rain was falling from the sky.

The rain was pouring down, and the air was filled with a damp earthy smell.

Yao Ji thought about his thoughts, excused himself to be tired, and went back to the room.

She took a deep breath, lit the candle, spread out a piece of paper, tilted her head and thought for a long time before she put down the pen steadily.

The door was pushed open silently, and Han Changdui flashed in, his shoulders already soaked with raindrops, dyed with a deep color.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled tacitly, Han Changwan leaned against the door and smiled faintly: "I'll look at the door, you just have to paint." ”

Yao Qi nodded and slowly put down the pen.

In the rain, the horses' hooves trampled on the muddy ground, the sound was muffled, and the water splashed muddy.

There were more than a hundred people in this group, and the rain washed away the armor on their bodies brightly, and it was difficult to hide the murderous aura.

The leader was the Turkic man who had fought with Han Changdui and was split by his sword to split his armor.

Surprisingly, he was not killed by the sword, but was wounded and his face was a little gray.

His amber eyes were extraordinarily deep, and he turned slightly, looking deeply at the rain curtain.

Although he failed to capture the Fifth Beacon this time, and lost his troops, there were only more than 110 of the 160 people left at this time, but there was no decadence on his face, but there was a sense of relief and relief.

"General Helu, let's go back like this, how can the second prince explain." A Turkic man with his arms hanging and a wounded face urged his horse to approach, his face was gloomy, his armor was already in tatters, and his horse was jolting and clattering.

He Lu narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled easily: "Groye, have you forgotten that our purpose has never been to defeat the fifth beacon, nor to bring out that spy, but to convince them that the crossbow manufacturing map is real." ”

Groyer nodded, the rain washed over his eyes, he squeezed his eyes hard, squeezed the cold rain out, and said in an urn: "General Helu, you say, will they believe it." ”

As he gazed into the distance, he seemed to be able to see the Far Away Mountain, the Ude Mountain, where they were on their way back and where their faith was.

His sinister laughter and the sound of the rain correspondingly coincided, like a cold blade, falling on people's hearts: "We have done so much effort, and it is the siege of the army, and the abandonment of the crossbow, Dajing has always wanted to surpass the military strength of my Turks, and the temptation to improve the crossbow is too great, even if they have doubts, they can't help but give it a try, as long as they try, they will definitely not stop." ”

Groye nodded convincingly: "What the general said is that as long as Emperor Dajing believes in the map, he will do everything he can to create it, and when he creates a pile of waste, they will regret it too late." ”

Heru smiled noncommittally.

Creating a pile of waste is secondary, the most important thing is that Dajing's weapons supervision skills are abnormal, in the process of manufacturing, they will definitely repair and improve the crossbow again, what they are trying to do is never just to waste the Great Jingguo, but to obtain the crossbow map improved by many good craftsmen in Dajing.

It's a two-pronged solution, but I can't say it now.

The rain was so heavy that the sound of the rain muffled the movement of the group, and at the same time muffled the whispers of the two.

Every now and then, a few bolts of lightning fall, illuminating the dark sky.

Han Changdui leaned over and lit a few more lamps and candles, and held them on the bookcase.

Yao Qi's eyes were sore, he reached out and rubbed it, and he was confused in front of him, and even tears fell.

Han Changwan handed over a cup of tea, and persuaded in a cold but gentle whisper: "If you don't rest, don't be in a hurry at this moment." ”

Yao Ji took the tea and drank it all very naturally, shook his head and said, "If you rest again, you should forget about it." ”

After saying that, she shook her wrist and started drawing again.

Han Changwan had nothing to do, so he picked up the pile of maps he had drawn, looked at them carefully, and the more he looked at them, the more doubts he felt in his heart.

After a long time, Yao Qi finally raised his head from the pile of atlases, rubbed the back of his neck that was hanging to the sore back, and wailed in his heart.

It's no wonder that some people say on the Internet that the most difficult thing to serve is Party A, the most difficult thing to do is Party B, and the designer is the mouse in the bellows, the front has to be scolded by the customer, and the back has to be scolded by the boss.

In this life, no, in the next life, she doesn't want to draw anymore.

Han Changdui looked straight at Yao Qi and said lightly: "Are you done painting?" ”

Yao Qi nodded and sighed for a long time: "Yes, it can be regarded as the completion of the painting." ”

Han Changdui carefully flipped through the rest of the atlas again, and sighed intently: "I didn't expect that it would cost a lot of money to build a crossbow, and I am afraid that the atlas that I took the trouble to draw would be shelved." ”

"Is it, going to cost a lot of money?" Yao was stunned for a moment.

She was only concerned about painting just now, and she didn't have the time to look carefully at what she had drawn, and she hadn't calculated how much silver it would cost, but she intuitively felt that the so-called crossbow was just some wood, plus a bunch of iron tools, and how much silver it could cost.

She took the atlas and looked at it carefully, frowning more and more as she looked.

She hasn't actually made a crossbow and has no right to speak, but she has done a crossbow, which is a bit more tedious to do, but it's also less expensive.

After looking at it for a long time, she looked up and asked, "Childe, I also made a crossbow ten years ago, do you know how much it cost to drive a crossbow at that time." ”

Han Changdui thought about it, and finally shook his head, the things of ten years ago were too far away, and the original driving crossbow, although it was made, was burned clean by the Turks before it came in handy, it was really a great shame for Dajing, no one mentioned it in the past ten years, and the things about the crossbow were slowly annihilated.

Yao Qi pursed her dry lips, she had a headache, she didn't learn mathematics very well in her previous life, and in this life, she traveled to this dynasty, and she couldn't even understand an abacus.

She shook her head and said with a smile: "Childe, I can't count it, you see how much it costs to build a crossbow now." ”

Han Changdui laughed suddenly, it turned out that Yao Qi, who seemed to be shrewd, was actually a rare fool, so confused in silver money, he smiled faintly, and joked between his words: "It's not much, it's just a year's worth of rouge gouache and hairpin clothes in the Sage's Palace." ”

"......" Yao was speechless.

Then this crossbow must be shelved, and it can't be made in order to make a crossbow for the saints, so that the saint's palace concubines are all disgraced.

The saint can't stand it.

Yao Qi raised her eyes and saw the narrow smile on the corners of Han Changdu's eyebrows, she was stunned for a moment, and stretched out her hand a little annoyed: "Childe, what you just said, the two courtyards of Tongyi Fang, now I have drawn the map, what about the courtyard." ”

Han Changdui choked for a moment, folded the atlas neatly, and then shouted outside: "Meng Sui, Meng Sui, come in, hurry up." ”

Meng Sui pushed the door in response to the sound and looked at each other blankly.

Han Changdui bent his fingers and tapped lightly on the bookcase, and said slowly and reasonably; "Tongyifang's house, title deed, do you have it with you?"

Meng Sui was stunned for a moment: "Son, let's go out on an errand, what am I doing with the title deed." ”

Han Changwan raised his eyebrows and smiled helplessly at Yao Qi.

Yao Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and snorted: "It seems that Gongzi is going to repay the debt." ”

Han Changwan pursed his lips, took the pen and paper, and wrote a contract, signed and printed the seal, and handed it to Yao Qi: "Oh, I wrote the contract, you sign it, and when we return to Chang'an City, we will go to the government office to go through the formalities." ”

Yao Qi laughed and signed neatly: "In black and white, I won't be afraid of my son's debts." ”

Meng Suiqi finally saw the ins and outs clearly, grabbed the contract, and shouted: "Childe, this house was just bought, and the furniture and everything were just beaten, and I haven't lived in it for a day." ”

Yao Ji snatched the contract back with his hand, folded it and stuffed it into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "It's good if I haven't lived there for a day." ”

As soon as the words fell, Chen Yanxuan's voice came from outside: "Is Han Changshi here?" ”

Meng Suiqi hurriedly opened the door and shouted at the next door: "Chen Shuguan, my son-in-law is here, do you have anything to do." ”

Chen Yanxuan walked over in the rain with a smile, bringing in a wet chill: "It's nothing important." ”

Han Changdui glanced at Meng Sui.

Meng Sui nodded knowingly, and smiled with Yao Qi: "Ah Qi, I just saw the fort in the twilight food, and it looks quite rich, let's go and have a look." ”

Yao Qi is such a clever person, he has already seen the unusual cattiness from the eye contact between Han Changdui and the two.

She pretended not to know, pouted and pouted: "You only remember to use twilight food now, I have already starved to death, go, take a look." ”

The rain was so heavy that an oil umbrella covered the raindrops the size of beans and Yao Qi's face, she turned around, her face sank, and she looked back at the closed door.

Obviously, Han Changwan and Chen Yanxuan have known each other for a long time.

Looking at Chen Yanxuan's attitude, although he just chatted a few words, he was quite respectful.
