Chapter 73: Shen Ci's Mind
Qin Chaojiu changed into Qin Guanming's men's clothes, and his hair was combed into a man's appearance, and it happened that he had taken Qin Guanming's silver crown before, which came in handy at this time.
It's a pity that the speed of the army is very fast, and she chased it overnight for five days, but still didn't catch up.
On this day, because of a sudden heavy snowfall in the middle of the night, the traces of the army were completely covered, which made the Qin Dynasty difficult for a long time.
"Little brother, you can't go any further, the people over there are all people who have fled the disaster and come to our side, what are you doing over there on this cold day?"
The proprietress of an inn kindly persuaded Qin Chaojiu for a long time.
Qin Chaojiu deliberately lowered his voice, disguised his usual female voice and said, "My brother is in the army in front, I want to go to my brother."
The proprietress suddenly became solemn: "Is your brother going to the northwest to fight?"
Qin Chaojiu nodded.
"Then ......," the proprietress thought for a moment and said, "Then you can rest well first, and then go when the snow stops, I know that there is a path, and you will walk from the path when you arrive, and the time will be about the same as when you walk from the main road now."
Qin Chaojiu's eyes lit up: "Really, that's great."
The snow fell so hard that it didn't stop for a day and a night.
When the snow stopped on the second day, Qin Chaojiu had just eaten breakfast and was about to go out, when he was suddenly bumped into his arms by a figure who pushed the door in.
"I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry."
The two spoke almost simultaneously.
The sound in the ears is mixed with a cold chill, but it is particularly familiar.
Qin Chaojiu looked up in a little surprise and saw a pair of eyes that were also shocked and full of surprise.
"Second Miss Qin!"
"Shen Ci, Shen Fourth Son?"
The two retreated to the inn and asked the innkeeper to serve Shen Ci some tea and food.
Shen Ci rested for a moment, and then the corners of his lips suddenly rose, and he raised his fist towards Qin Chaojiu and called, "Brother Qin."
Qin Chaojiu almost squirted out the tea in his mouth as soon as he drank it, and quickly concealed his panic, and saluted with his fists in a serious manner, "Brother Shen."
The two couldn't help but smile at each other.
"How did you get here?" Qin Chao asked Shen Ci for a long time.
Shen Ci glanced at Qin Chaojiu deeply, but said, "I think of the Loulan Kingdom that the Shen family's army is going to fight against, and is the best at nomadic warfare in the East and West, although I can't fight on the battlefield like my father's eldest brother, but I also want to do my part."
Qin Chaojiu immediately looked at Shen Ci with admiration.
"I have only heard that the Su son of the Shen family loves literature and work, and does not worship martial arts, but after all, he is the son of the Shen family, and he has his own Shen family style, which is really admirable."
Qin Chaojiu praised from the bottom of his heart.
Shen Ci lowered his eyes unconsciously, and secretly felt in his heart that he was not worthy of such praise.
Suddenly, Qin Chaojiu stood up, suddenly thought of something, and was slightly excited: "I thought of one thing, maybe only you can."
"What's the matter?" Shen Ci couldn't help but look up and stare at Qin Chaojiu.
I saw Qin Chaojiu get up and go downstairs, borrow pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the innkeeper, and after returning to the room, he lay down on the table and began to paint.
As she put pen to paper, the appearance of a snow combat tool gradually became clear on the paper.
And Shen Ci's expression also changed from puzzled at the beginning to more and more shocked.
"This ...... Is this a sled? No, this is a trebuchet? No, what the hell is this?"
Watching Qin Chaojiu's paintings become more and more complicated, his mood became more and more undulating.
Qin Chaojiu only lowered her head and spoke, and when she finished painting, she would explain to Shen Ci.
This thing is the weapon she encountered when she was working on the system, and when she went to another ability world with the host.
In that small world, her host was an ordinary person, but she was facing a powerful coalition of abilities, so her host created a variety of weapons.
This one can be fast on the snow
The modified throwing machine for navigation was made by his host at the time.
She also remembered it suddenly.
I just don't know if this weapon can be made with the ability of Shen Ci.
Qin Chaojiu maintained the same posture, drawing one detail after another, and the combination of parts in each place was carefully spent.
Her brows are slightly furrowed, her expression is serious, her eyes are clear, her side face is fair and smooth, and if you look closely, there are fine fluffs, which are more and more exciting.
"It should be almost."
Qin Chaojiu slowly raised his eyes and turned his head to look at Shen Ci.
Shen Ci hurriedly looked away, and his heart pounded for a while.
was worried that she had been secretly staring at Qin Chao for a long time and was discovered by her, so her nerves were extremely nervous.
Qin Chaojiu's attention was on the drawings in her hand at the moment, naturally she didn't find Shen Ci's abnormality, she put the drawings in front of Shen Ci: "Fourth Prince Shen, take a look, can this improve the Shen family's combat power against Loulan?"
"Yes, absolutely."
Shen Ci only read half of it, and before he finished reading it, his eyes lit up with excitement, and he couldn't help but stand up.
"Can you make it, then? Is this difficult?" Qin Chaojiu asked.
Shen Ci nodded: "It's not easy, but I can."
From the second day onwards, neither Qin Chaojiu nor Shen Ci rushed to the place where the Northwest Army was stationed, but stayed in this town.
Shen Ci rented a yard and began to concentrate on making trebuchets.
Qin Chaojiu was helping him.
"Isn't that a little wrong with this size?" Qin Chaojiu looked at the piece of wood that Shen Ci was working on at the moment with some suspicion.
Shen Ci shook his head: "That's right, I've calculated."
"No, look here."
Qin Chaojiu stretched out his hand and pressed it, and Shen Cizheng was also going to get the piece of wood.
Their hands pressed on the same spot at this moment.
Shen Ci raised his eyes suddenly, and a pair of dark eyes fell on Qin Chaojiu's face.
Qin Chaojiu naturally felt the unnaturalness in his expression, and after a slight pause, he naturally withdrew his hand and continued the topic just now.
"Well, I'll do the math again."
Shen Ci did not continue to be stubborn, but took away the wood, returned to the table on the side, and began to calculate.
"Let's take a rest first, I'm not in a hurry, often the medicinal soup I make, my third brother likes to eat it the most. It's cold, so if you eat some medicinal soup, you won't get sick easily."
Qin Chaojiu took out a bowl of medicinal soup that he had made himself and brought it to Shen Ci.
The aroma is tangy, and it hooks out all the greedy worms in the stomach.
Shen Ci only thanked him, then lowered his head and began to drink soup and eat meat.
"I didn't expect you to not only draw such fine drawings, but also make such delicious soup, in this world, I'm afraid there is no second woman who can be as good as you."
Shen Ci suddenly opened his mouth and praised it from the bottom of his heart.
"It's nothing, it's just a little bit of ability." Qin Chaojiu smiled slightly and spoke.
Shen Ci thought she was modest.
Unexpectedly, her next sentence made Shen Ci instantly stunned, unable to cry or laugh.
I saw her gently brush up the broken hair on her ears, straighten the man's crown on her head, and said, "I have a lot of real strength, this is just a small test."
Shen Ci smiled helplessly, naturally not believing it.
But he couldn't help but be amused by Qin Chaojiu's cute appearance.
After the two ate and worked together in the town for ten days, Shen Ci's first snow transformation trebuchet finally took shape.
If the progress is fast, it will be completely done in two or three days.
The speed in Shen Ci's hands has not decreased, but there is a faint sense of reluctance in his heart.
He raised his eyes to look at Qin Chaojiu, who was cutting wood not far away, and the voice in his heart became more and more loud.
"You like her clearly, for
Why don't you dare to step forward, there are only the two of you here, and the people from the Hou Mansion have not come to her so far, which means that the Hou Mansion does not care about her life or death at all, as long as she is the reason, you can not return to the capital for the rest of your life." z.br>
"Even if you are reluctant to the General's Mansion, as long as you tell you about getting along day and night, Prince Beimu will definitely not marry an innocent woman as a concubine."
"Shen Ci, what are you afraid of?!"
"From the beginning, you were worried that the General's Mansion would not agree to marry Miss Houfu, so from the beginning you kept your distance and could only watch from afar, but you can fool everyone, can you fool yourself?"
"If you continue to do nothing, then what are you chasing all the way from the capital to here?"
Shen Ci shook his head violently and threw out all the crazy voices in his head.
He couldn't do that.
In the past ten days, he has stolen it from God, how can he ask for more?
"What do you think?"
Qin Chaojiu's voice came from the side.
Shen Ci looked at Qin Chaojiu steadily, and said, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking, when this weapon is made, we can't continue to stay here, I'll ...... I probably won't even be able to eat what you've cooked."
The reluctance and greed in his tone were too obvious.
Any normal woman must be aware of it.
But on the contrary, Qin Chaojiu is a system that has just been a person for less than a year, and she heard Shen Ci's nostalgia, but she misunderstood what he meant.
Qin Chaojiu laughed when he heard this: "Just because of this? What's so difficult about that, when I return to the capital, I will write the recipe and send it to the cook lady of your general's mansion, she will definitely be able to make it, rest assured."
Shen Ci smiled bitterly.
Qin Chaojiu had already shifted his gaze.
All she wanted was to get her weapons ready as soon as possible, and the sooner she could get them to the battlefield, the sooner she could get them to the battlefield.
With the addition of this snow weapon, this battle will definitely end quickly, and all the soldiers can return to their homes as soon as possible, if only all the soldiers could go home on Chinese New Year's Eve.
On the day the snow slings were made, the sun was shining and the sky was cloudless.
Qin Chaojiu was excited: "This big guy is too big, I can only stay here for the time being, I will go to the military camp to find the prince, and then I will send a team of people back to transport him over."
Shen Ci said, "No need, I have already contacted the yamen here, and I will arrange for someone to send it over."
"That's fine, Fourth Master Shen, can I ask you to escort you all the way?" Qin Chaojiu suddenly asked.
Shen Ci immediately frowned: "What about you?"
"I'll go and inform the prince first, this place is already at the border, danger is lurking, and the spies of the enemy country are very likely to be around, so I have to let the prince send troops and horses over first." Qin Chao thought about this for a long time and added another sentence. "I can't let your hard work go to waste."
Shen Ci couldn't find a reason to refute it, but he was worried that it would be too dangerous for Qin Chaojiu to go on the road alone, so he proposed, "I'll go to King Beimu, you stay here and act with the people of the government, it's safer."
