Before he knew it, it was the next day. After finishing his work, Meng Yuxiu finally looked forward to noon.

But then he became worried again, lingering in front of Ke Shou for a long time, wanting to say something but holding back.

He glanced at Ke Shou one last time, but said nothing, and turned to go to the armory.

The gun was sharpened today, and he retrieved it. What excuse will he use to go to the armory next time?

So he picked and chose from a pile of weapons in the military workshop, looking for something decent that actually needed repair.

After looking at it for a while, Meng Yuxiu found that the armory was indeed well taken care of. The weapons were neatly arranged, and he couldn't find a single one that was even rusty, let alone damaged and in need of repair.

Just as Meng Yuxiu was at his wits' end, Ke Shou's voice suddenly rang out: "Is the general looking for weapons that need repair?"

Even the cautious Meng Yuxiu was quite startled when he didn't notice him coming in.

He turned around, frowning, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Ke Shou respectfully said, "I saw that the general seemed troubled, so I came to see if there was anything I could do to help. If the general is looking for weapons that need repair, I have already packed them all into a large box and carried it to your study."

Meng Yuxiu's eyes lit up, and he looked at Ke Shou with admiration: "I didn't expect that you, who don't talk much usually, are so good at reading people."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards the study with a smile, his eyebrows relaxed, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

A short while later, Meng Yuxiu walked out of the study, got into the carriage with satisfaction, and went to the military workshop with Ke Shou.

The military manufacturing department was as bustling as ever, and Meng Yuxiu spotted Chang Lili amidst the crowd at a glance.

She was engrossed in polishing something on the blacksmith's block, completely absorbed and oblivious to everything around her. She didn't even notice when Meng Yuxiu walked by.

The spear had apparently been modified. The once somewhat dull spearhead was now much more refined and brand new. If it weren't for the familiar spear shaft, Meng Yuxiu wouldn't have recognized the spear. Even the red tassel under the blade had been replaced with a new one.

Chang Lili took the spear in her hand and examined it carefully. A satisfied smile appeared on her face. Then she buried her head in writing something.

Meng Yuxiu stood behind her and couldn't help but lean closer.

Chang Lili was seen holding a calligraphy brush, her brows slightly furrowed, looking quite professional.

But looking down, one sees scattered ink marks on the thin pages, a sight too complex to describe in words.

After a long while, Meng Yuxiu finally managed to make out that she seemed to be drawing a gun in her hand.

After a long while, Chang Lili wrote down the materials used to make the gun and the method of forging it under the drawing of the almost shapeless gun.

Each stroke was written with great care.

After she finished writing, she put down her pen, blew on the still-wet ink, and turned around to bump into Meng Yuxiu's arms.

She looked up, still shaken, her face flushed, and exclaimed, "Why are you standing here? You scared me half to death!"

Meng Yuxiu looked at the paper on the table and found it amusing: "What are you drawing and writing?"

The handwriting on the paper was crooked and messy, but Chang Lili seemed not to notice anything wrong with it at all. She picked up the stack of papers and said proudly, "How about that? These are all the modified weapons I recorded, the materials used, and how they were made. They will be passed down to future generations to benefit the people."

Meng Yuxiu took the stack of papers and flipped through them. Sure enough, he saw that the papers contained information on the materials and crafting methods for some novel-looking weapons.

The broken sword he brought over for repair a few days ago was among them.

Meng Yuxiu still had to identify it for a long time, and Chang Lili even gave it a unique name: Huiwu.

He read through the entire manuscript with great interest, still feeling that he hadn't had enough.

"Are these all the weapons you've modified recently?" Meng Yuxiu couldn't help but ask. Seeing Chang Lili nod, he smiled and said, "It seems I still need to find some weapons for you to repair, so you can finish your weapon manual."

Chang Lili, her face covered in a thin layer of sweat, looked at Meng Yuxiu with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

“If this could be compiled into a book, it would truly be an excellent weapons manual, provided that all the characters on it are legible,” Meng Yuxiu said sincerely.

Chang Lili was overjoyed. She only heard the first part of the compliment and didn't pay attention to the second part. She just said smugly, "Really? Am I really that amazing now?"

After she finished speaking, she burst into laughter.

After that, Meng Yuxiu would appear at the military workshop every few days with some old weapons, and the booklet in Chang Lili's hand gradually became thicker.

When the booklet had grown to about the thickness of a book, Meng Yuxiu took it away.

When he returned, the scattered papers had been bound into a book, looking quite presentable, with a few powerful characters written on the cover: Chang's Weapons Book.

"You...you...I...Chang family?" Chang Lili was so happy that she couldn't speak coherently.

“Since this was made by you, it should naturally be named this,” Meng Yuxiu said, arms crossed.

Chang Lili was so happy she almost jumped up. She exclaimed, "My God, this is the weapon manual I wrote! I never even dared to dream of this before. Am I dreaming?"

As she spoke, she lunged at Meng Yuxiu.

Her slender body fell into his arms, evoking both pity and longing.

The usually bustling military manufacturing site fell silent for a moment before returning to its noisy state.

Meng Yuxiu was surprised for a moment, then revealed a relieved smile.

Countless eyes witnessed the two's overly intimate actions. Meng Yuxiu initially felt something was amiss, but after a moment he realized there was nothing wrong with it.

In fact, this move suited his purposes perfectly.

He reached out and naturally embraced her petite and soft body. The feeling at this moment was very different from before. Before, he only felt that this soft body was alluring, but now he felt more satisfied.

Just a hug made me feel so happy.

But before he could hug Chang Lili tightly, the nimble little girl popped out.

"I really don't know how to thank you!" She was still overjoyed. She patted Meng Yuxiu's shoulder hard, her eyes crinkling with happiness. "From now on, just bring your weapons, and I'll help you repair them."

Meng Yuxiu also laughed heartily.

That night, Chang Lili returned to the mansion early, which was unusual for her. The first thing she did upon entering the courtyard was to take out the "Chang Family Weapon Manual" and show it to her mother-in-law.

"How about it? I modified and built all of these myself. How about it?" Chang Lili asked expectantly, the words "praise me" clearly visible in her clear eyes.

The mother-in-law stared intently at the booklet, growing increasingly alarmed with each reading.

"Did you really design and build this all by yourself? Did you come up with all of these ideas yourself?" The mother-in-law seemed a little incredulous.

Chang Lili said with dissatisfaction, "Of course! Would I lie to you?"
