Wei Yao narrowed her eyes, stretched her head slightly, and inquired carefully, "Is it expensive?" ”

It's not just expensive, it's very expensive.

Zheng Quqi looked back at him fixedly: "It's sky-high." ”

If this artillery was made in the Beiyuan Kingdom, it would definitely be mass-produced, and the main focus would be a rich and capricious, but in the Ye Kingdom, it would be aggrieved, who called the Ye Country poor.

Fu Rong's originally elated expression became sluggish under the blow of Zheng Quqi's "truth".

"So what are we going to do next?"

Zheng Quqi saw that Fu Rong had become depressed again, his eyes were gloomy, and he clearly felt that "the future is not bright", and Wei Yao also forcibly cheered up, but he was actually disheartened.

However, the soldiers of the battle fort were far away at this time, and they did not know the content of the "deep" conversation here, and they were still immersed in the great joy of repelling the Beiyuan army.

On the one hand, there was warm joy and excitement, and on the other hand, there was a sad face and negative pressure on the body, the two atmospheres formed a sharp contrast, and Zheng Quqi silently took in everything.

In fact, she could have not said these things at this moment, so that Wei Yao and Fu Rong, like everyone else, would be happy to celebrate a victory that they had won so hard.

But there are some things that some people can be ignorant and happy, but those who have everything on their shoulders must see through the cruel truth, because only by understanding their current situation will they make the most accurate judgment on this.

Just as it was obvious to them at this time that every step in the future might become difficult, so their minds and bodies would be in harmony with each other, and they would be fully prepared to enter the combat state at any time, which was exactly what was needed for the next intensive arrangement.

But blindly being negative is not enough, and when it is time to boost morale, we should not be stingy.

"You don't really think I have any plans other than artillery, do you? As I said, it's just the opening gun for me to start this battle, and the real killer weapon hasn't been taken out yet. ”

Zheng Quqi clapped his palms to get their attention.

"Huh", something resurfaced in the eyes of the two of them.

"Really?"

Zheng Quqi pursed his lips and smiled, smiling lightly, loosening their tense nerves: "Of course, only this time although the Beiyuan Army withdrew, it is not a defeat, they will make a comeback sooner or later, and when they go back, they must reflect the shortcomings of our artillery, it is a few days if it is fast, and it will not be a month if it is slow, and we may face a real big war test." ”

Seeing her say such serious words with a relaxed face that tested people's psychological endurance, Fu Rong and Wei Yao obviously couldn't keep up with her rhythm, and they looked stunned.

After a long time, Wei Yao swept away the emotions on his face: "Madam, if you have faith, we are the sharp blade in your hand, invincible for you, if you have no faith, then we are your strongest shield, unless you step on our corpse, no one will want to hurt you a single hair." ”

Fu Rong also said: "Madam, to be honest...... I used to be blind, but now I believe in you and am happy to accept all your plans. ”

Seeing that they were so serious about expressing their loyalty to her, Zheng Quqi was silent for a moment, and a slight smile appeared on his face, and then wiped it off in an instant.

She scratched her head with some chagrin: "I have done everything I can, but the rest ...... I really can't do anything about it, so ......"

She raised her head and saw the two of them looking at herself with a blank expression: "Things on the battlefield can only rely on Yu Wensheng himself." ”

Fu Rong was stunned, he couldn't understand why his wife would say such a thing at this time, he could only tell a thing meaninglessly: "But the general is ...... now Simply can't lead us. ”

"He must be on the battlefield, and he must lead you in this battle so that we may have a chance of victory." Zheng Quqi told them.

She can provide advanced technology and weapons, but in the eyes of the ruling class, it is only a "tool", and the entire establishment of technology is under politics, in other words, no matter how powerful the "tool" is, it is also "dead".

Like the Song Dynasty, even if this dynasty has powerful weapons, because it does not have lofty ideals and implementation strategies, it is short-sighted, the monarch has no great ambitions, and the ministers are slanderous, so even if it has advanced scientific and technological means, the country is still terminally ill and incurable.

On the contrary, once a country has a national awakening, has a mainstay leader in front of it, and has an unprecedented complete victory in the struggle against foreign aggression, even if it is backward and poor, there is still the possibility that the latecomer will prevail.

Therefore, the key to turning defeat into victory is never in the instrument, but in the person.

She can create a deterrent, but she can't be that "person".

Listening to her repeated emphasis, Wei Yao understood her decision and guessed what she might do, so she asked, "In that case, what should we do?" ”

Zheng Quqi said: "Shenmu Meng, do you remember? ”

The two nodded: "Yes." ”

"I have already sent someone to inquire with someone who understands Gu poison, although he can't relieve the phoenix tears, but he said that Shenmu Meng can temporarily restrain the Gu poison attack on Yu Wensheng's body, I have already sent someone to Shengjing to get it earlier, and I want to be able to come in this day or two."

At the beginning, Shenmu Meng was given to her by Yu Wensheng to detoxify her younger sister, but she didn't run out, so she detoxified Gu because of Gan Xin's arrival, and the rest of Shenmu Meng will now return to her hands, maybe it is already destined in the dark.

When Fu Rong heard this, he suddenly said happily: "That's great." ”

But there are some things she still has to make clear beforehand: "It's just...... I'm not sure how long he can suppress it, and even once it gets out of control, even if he drinks blood, he can't keep him calm anymore, if he can't completely unravel the Gu, it will completely eat his body, so far there is no medicine stone. ”

Zheng Quqi spoke very slowly, as if every word was very heavy, and after the two of them heard it, they also trembled, and their faces were completely bloody.

"This ...... Isn't this just fighting for your life? Wei Yao was stunned.

Zheng Quqi lowered his eyes: "Yes, win, then we will live well together, if you lose......"

There is no need to say the rest of the words, and the three of them have a sense of knowing in their eyes.

——

The city dug a number of caves in the mountains and carved them out as living rooms, among which there was a ladder on the far left, and there was a dark room that was lit day and night, because there was a man in a cage with steel shackles.

Click-

The door to the dark room was pushed open from the outside.

The man in the cage had long black hair on the ground, he raised his head slightly, the ends of his hair swept across the floor mat, and he raised his eyes to look at Zheng Quqi, his pale face was like snow, but the tail of his eyes and lips were like smeared cinnabar, light red to a gorgeous ghost.

This is the charm and cruelty nourished by blood.

Zheng Quqi looked at him in four directions.

He's been getting out of control lately, and I'm afraid the cage won't be able to control him anymore.

Zheng Quqi didn't get too close, because not only did he not recognize anyone now, but he would attack her at any time. (End of chapter)
