Chapter 271: Strength and Weakness (1)

欻——

A rusty iron sword was pressed against Zuo Shangfang's neck, and he looked down the sword body, just in front of a pair of eyes that were as cold as glass.

"Do you believe it, I killed you now, and I can still walk out of here unscathed?"

Nan Gui's eyes widened, and he was forced to raise his neck, feeling the cold killing intent coming from his skin, only to feel his hands and feet numb, and trembling and said, "I, I am the minister of the court, you, you don't dare......

Zheng Quqi grinned at him with two demonic fangs: "Whose lady do you think I am, why don't I dare?"

Whose wife?

Isn't she Yu Wensheng's wife, the only general in Ye State, the one who was tyrannical in the court and once had power...... Nan Gui thought of Yu Wensheng coldly, and he had a sense of terror that jumped from the bottom of his heart, even if the rumors spread that people were dead, his residual power could still frighten the cowardly.

Nan Gui's face turned blue and white for a while, and she wanted to open her mouth to shout, but she was worried that she would be angered, so she really didn't do anything and killed people endlessly.

Eventually, he had to give in to her threats and immediately beg for mercy, "Yes, I'm sorry, Madame General, it's me talking nonsense, please spare my life."

The pastor of Beitang next to him was overjoyed, but he quickly covered it up again, and he pretended to be anxious and said: "Mrs. General, don't be impulsive, although our Zuo Shangfang neglected his duties and didn't do a good job of important things, but you can't use lynching without permission, please spare his life."

Hearing him shout so loudly, Zheng Quqi easily summoned the guards outside the storeroom, so he glanced sideways: "Shut up."

Beitang Mu immediately fell silent, and during this period, he also apologized to Nan Gui with a glance and helplessness that he couldn't help.

Nan Gui also saw at this time that the bride Yu Wensheng married was not a normal woman, and she might be similar to his husband because of his brutal temperament, and he would kill people if he didn't agree with him, so he became a "like-minded" couple.

Naturally, he didn't want to die, so he could only recognize the current affairs with a "poof", and slipped to his knees.

"Mrs. General, it was Nan Gui who offended you by not knowing Taishan, I was wrong about this, and I will make amends to you."

Zheng Quqi lives so big, it is the first time he has seen the so-called villain without knots, abandoning the basics.

"Nangui, are you afraid that your dereliction of duty will be known to His Royal Highness?" She patted him on the shoulder with her rusty iron sword.

His face stiffened, squeaked, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

He didn't know how to answer this, and if he answered yes, he would admit his "crime", but if he didn't, he would be lying to the general's wife in front of him, and he would be a dead duck.

"Nangui, plus the things you intended to offend me before and report it to Your Highness, your crime will be big, maybe not only you, but also your family will be implicated." Zheng Quqi said slowly.

Nangui was so frightened that he was drenched in a cold sweat, and he didn't know what to do: "Mrs. General, the humble position is not intentional......

Zheng Quqi didn't want to listen to his quibbles, so she interrupted him: "However, I can give you a chance, I want you to be able to sort out a batch of the most sophisticated weapons in the Ye Kingdom in the treasury for me before the Six Kingdoms test the army, and then polish and maintain them for me, it must not be inferior products, and give them to me when I want them, you know?"

Hearing that it was this condition, Nan Gui was stunned for a moment, and stammered: "Husband, madam, this is not a lowly duty that does not agree, but there is no holy order, and the lowly duty does not dare to move the weapons reserve of the treasury without permission, if this matter is found out, it will be the same as rebellion."

"Don't worry, I will take the legal and compliant road to approve weapons, you just need to equip my requirements."

Hearing her say this, Nan Gui immediately nodded: "Okay, good, this matter will definitely be done for the general's wife."

Zheng Quqi withdrew his sword, and was worried that the queen would get in the way, so he said meaningfully: "Nangui, you'd better keep your eyes open and look outside, the wind direction has changed, don't be foolish enough to see the situation clearly, and be in the company of thieves."

Nan Gui was shocked, his low body trembled slightly, and after a long time, he said, "Humble duty, remember."

Zheng Quqi saw the beating

When she was done, she added, "Besides, I need you to build a batch of custom guns within three days, and you must not slack off in this matter, and you must do your best to do it for me."

"Guns?" Nangui and Beitang Mu were stunned.

Beitang Mu thought of the spear of Nanhongguo that she mentioned before, and her heart tightened, will it be very difficult for the spear she wants to make, if you really want to benchmark the standard of Nanhongguo, I am afraid that three days is far from enough.

"Yes, guns." Zheng Qu's jaw is headed.

Beitang Mu was a little apprehensive and asked first, "What kind of gun?"

Zheng Quqi said, "Javelin."

Nan Gui and Bei Tang Mu glanced at each other, it was obvious that none of them had ever heard of this kind of "javelin", and then shook their heads: "We haven't heard of this gun, if the general's wife describes it, we will design it according to your requirements, but three days is too difficult......

Zheng Quqi glanced at them: "You don't have to bother, I have already designed the javelin, you only need to be responsible for mass production, you can produce as much as you can, and the quantity is large."

"Well, we should do our best......," Nangui nodded.

She pulled out the design from her crossbody bag: "This is a sketch of the javelin, and I ask you to create it according to the standards I have drawn, without any discount."

Nangui stood up from the ground, took it with both hands, and Kitado Mu also leaned over to take a look, and he found that this "javelin" was not as complicated and difficult to make as he thought.

This "javelin" is not the current spear, although it also occupies a gun word, it is a type of gun with a thick middle and thin ends, and they have never seen this style of "gun" before.

According to the details of the design manuscript, the javelin includes the javelin head and the barrel, the head is in the shape of a long drop, very slender and sharp, they are all set on the body of the gun, the material of the body of the gun is also marked, with hardwood, bamboo poles are also OK, these materials are also simple and easy to find type.

In general, this so-called "javelin" is manufactured according to the size marked above, without any decoration and complicated workmanship, and it can be modified according to the current ready-made equipment of their ordnance superintendent, and it can be shipped in batches in three days.

Nangui couldn't help but ask strangely, "Madam, who painted this? The pattern is ingenious, unusually simple and beautiful, eye-catching, it is this design that is strange and abnormal, like the throwing gun we used before, but it is different, so slender and sharp, will this design be better than other guns?"

What has been eliminated has been transformed and used back, is this progress or backwardness?

"No, it won't."

Zheng Quqi replied directly.

Nangui and Beitang pastor: "......" what are you doing with such a waste thing as you hurry up to make it?

"Because it's cheap, easy to use, and firepower-intensive, I have a lot of use for it, so you don't have to care about what it's for, just do what I say." Zheng Quqi didn't bother to explain too much to them.

Seeing that the general's wife was starting to get impatient, worried that if she continued to ask, she would touch military secrets, Nan Gui hurriedly changed her words and said, "Okay, let's arrange it immediately."

Zheng Quqi clasped Nan Gui, who was about to slip away, and when he turned back in disbelief, she smiled kindly at him, "Madame Ben is worried that you don't have enough manpower, so I will send a Xuanjia army to support you."

Support?

Do you dare to say that this is not supervision in disguise?

"No, I don't have to." Nan Gui is dying and struggling.

As soon as she finished speaking, four figures immediately fell to the ground, and they were like dangerous and powerful beasts guarding behind Zheng Quqi, with a fierce momentum.

Nangui was startled, and was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and even Beitang Mu was shocked.

"He, they are ......"

"My people." Zheng Quqi raised his eyebrows.

Is she really stupid, going to the meeting alone?

The cold sweat that Nan Gui had just stopped began to break out again, and he was afraid.

Just now, how big did he have to be that he dared to fight against the general's wife who had the Four Elephants Army in his hands, and he wanted to call someone to arrest her, and he was ashamed to threaten her......

No wonder she would say that even if she kills herself, she can get out of the way, and it has never been the power of His Royal Highness the Prince that dares to love her, she herself is the most powerful group of people in Ye Kingdom.

On the contrary, they were the flies and dogs who couldn't see how many catties and taels they had, and they almost had the guts to collide with the nobles.

"What doesn't have to be?" Zheng Quqi asked rhetorically as if puzzled.

Nan Gui's scalp exploded, and he didn't dare to let go of a fart immediately: "No, no, Nan Gui thanks the general's wife for her thoughtfulness, then Nan Gui is disrespectful."

Seeing that Zuo Shangfang, who has always been a cunning villain and shameless, is now being cleaned up by the general's wife, Beitang Mu didn't know for a while that he should be the lost hoe girl's plan to succeed, or should he sigh that Nangui, who has always been arrogant, also has today.

But in the future, he estimates that if he wants to fill his own pockets again, he will have to weigh it.

When Zheng Quqi left, it was sent by Beitang Mu.

She knew he had something to say to her.

Out of the gate of the ordnance prison, they walked to the corner of the wall, Beitang Mu gritted his teeth, lifted his hem, and knelt in front of Zheng Quqi: "General's wife......

"Say it." Zheng Quqi looked down at him.

He lowered his head and clenched his fists: "The general's wife is so smart, she must have seen through her humble thoughts a long time ago."

"You're also very smart, and you have a grudge against him?" She scoffed.

"No, there is no personal vendetta, yes, it's also a public grudge, presumably the general's wife also saw it, Nangui is not qualified to be the Zuo Shangfang of the weapons supervisor at all, but it is because of his good family background that he has found this position, he has led the court over the years, but he has never done serious things, and in order to be able to embezzle the annual appropriation, he has done a lot of dirty things, which is known to everyone in the ordnance prison."

After hearing this, Zheng Quqi realized that this Beitang Mu was planning to use her hand to rectify the now chaotic ordnance prison.

Although this person is not pure-minded, the starting point of everything is righteousness and progress, and Zheng Quqi does not intend to blame him anymore.

Stretching out his hand to pull the person up, Zheng Quqi said, "Beitang Mu, I will let His Highness find out these things one by one, if what you said is true, then he Nangui will naturally not be in this position for a long time, but not now...... The Six Nations Arms Test is imminent, and the Ordnance Supervisor must operate normally, you can keep a good watch on him for me, and if there is any trouble, report to me immediately, as long as you do a good job in this matter, then your use of me will be revealed."

Beitang Mu was overjoyed: "Thank you Mrs. General, I will monitor Nangui's next move for Mrs. General, and I will never let him do anything bad."

"Beitang Mu, do you know that there is any private contact between this Nangui and the step-queen?"

"This ...... I don't know about my humble position, but I heard that Nan Gui was recommended by an important minister in the court, so he became Zuo Shangfang, the commander of the ordnance prison, and this important minister's surname is Qi."

Zheng Quqi secretly took his words to heart, and planned to relay the news to Yuan Xingzhou, believing that with his talent in this world, he would definitely handle it better than her.

After Beitang Mu left, Zheng Quqi saw that there were no outsiders, and immediately relaxed the momentum of the general's wife, her small face turned into a ball of buns, and she complained to Lan Yue: "Look, this careful thinking is simply unguardable, there is no simple person, it is too tiring to be the general's wife, I still want to be a craftsman sawing wood."

Wu Liang, the air officer and Sixi stood in the back like a mural, only quietly staring at the general's wife, and Lan Yue has always been close to the general's wife, plus the two are both women, so they are naturally more chatty.

On weekdays, Zheng Quqi is under a lot of pressure and wants to find someone to talk to, usually on the blue moon.

After listening to Madame's words, Lan Yue couldn't help but feel funny: "Madame has really worked hard recently, if the general is still there......

Halfway through Lan Yue's words, she immediately reacted to what she had said, frowned, and looked at Madame apologetically.

Zheng Quqi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled casually: "If he is still here, I will definitely still be a good craftsman in Fuxian County now, trying to find a way to make a lot of money...... and talk to him about peace and departure.

But now

What, her life trajectory seems to be completely messed up, not only did she not reconcile with Yu Wensheng, but she also almost welded the name "General's Wife" on her body, from no one knows, to now famous.

She sighed, "What a miracle it is in life."

"Madame will definitely have good luck in the future, and it is unspeakably precious." Lan Yue said with a serious face.

Zheng Quqi didn't take her words to heart, but thought that Lan Yue wanted to comfort her, and she said, "The future...... Who knows."

As far as Ye Guo is in the difficult and dangerous situation of the country's demise, she, the general's wife, doesn't know how long she can be in office, the future of her and Ye Guo is like getting lost, and she can't see clearly where she will be pushed in the end.

"Sister, second sister—"

A cheerful shout sounded beside her, and Zheng Quqi, who was meditating, suddenly came back to her senses, she turned her head, but was surprised to see Sang Qimei, who was standing in a street and waving her little hand at her, trying to attract her attention.

"Sister?"

Seeing her sister, Zheng Quqi was naturally happy, but the smile on the corner of her mouth had not yet curved, but the next second it was stuck at the corner of her mouth.

Because she saw that the man who was with Sister Sang was not Brother Sang.

It's an "old acquaintance" she hasn't seen for a long time.
