On the surface, they remained calm and maintained a respectful demeanor, but inside they were like a powder keg that had been lit, ready to pounce.

They secretly pondered how to find an opportunity to try it out in the future, constantly coming up with all sorts of novel ideas.

Everyone's eyes gleamed with eager anticipation, as if they could already envision themselves gaining the attention of King Jinrui Zhao with their novel ideas.

Seeing that they were getting more good methods and approaches, the corners of their mouths unconsciously turned up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

Just as everyone was harboring their own secret intentions and plotting their schemes, Prime Minister Qin and Prime Minister Su coughed lightly a few times at the same time.

Although the two coughs were not loud, they sounded like the ringing of a bell, instantly breaking the subtle yet slightly restless atmosphere in the room.

The two prime ministers had piercing eyes, their gazes conveying authority and solemnity as they subtly surveyed their colleagues present.

Those eyes were like two sharp swords, piercing straight into everyone's hearts.

Their eyes were full of warning, as if they were solemnly admonishing everyone: "Take it easy, stop being so eager for quick success and so reckless!"

"At least give Luo'er some time to rest. She already works tirelessly for the court and the people. What kind of behavior is this, rushing her like this!"

Upon seeing this, the officials felt as if they had been doused with a bucket of cold water, instantly sobering up and understanding the intentions of the two prime ministers.

Their faces flushed and paled in turns, revealing a mixture of embarrassment and shame. They nodded hurriedly, responding to show that they understood.

Afterwards, everyone adjusted their demeanor, trying to appear more composed and dignified, and making every effort to conceal their earlier eagerness and restlessness.

Some people lowered their heads slightly, not daring to make eye contact with others; others pretended to be calm and straightened their court robes, trying to use this action to cover up their inner panic.

Others coughed lightly, pretending nothing was wrong.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the room gradually returned to calm, as if the turbulent thoughts that had just been brewing had never happened, and everything returned to the apparent order.

After everyone had carefully examined the new firearms, Shi Xingbai and Yang Yizhi immediately got to work.

They methodically arranged for the soldiers to move the weapons, and the scene was orderly.

The soldiers hurried along, carefully lifting the firearms onto the wagons and securing them with ropes to ensure that nothing went wrong during transport.

These vehicles are lined up neatly, stretching as far as the eye can see, like a long steel dragon.

Qin Qianluo stood quietly beside Qin Xiang, her gaze following one vehicle after another loaded with firearms.

Looking at the scene before her, a question suddenly arose in her mind: "Yunbao, with the help of these firearms, we may be able to recover the Xiongnu territory in one fell swoop this year."

Given this, will the Crown Prince and Xiao Wanxi still be able to meet as originally planned?

Ning Chenyi was standing to the side with a beaming smile, his eyes fixed on the firearms.

His eyes were full of anticipation and admiration for its power, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, displaying a confident smile.

As the crown prince, he deeply understood the significance of these things to Tianxuan, and he looked forward to them playing a significant role on the battlefield, helping Tianxuan achieve great things.

Qin Qianluo's thoughts, like a sudden gust of cold wind, silently entered Ning Chenyi's ears, instantly freezing the smile on his face.

He paused slightly, his once bright eyes instantly becoming somewhat dull, then he blinked unconsciously, as if he had just woken up from a beautiful dream.

My mind went blank for a while before I belatedly realized the seriousness of the problem.

Yes, now that he has such a powerful artifact, will he still need to personally lead an expedition to conquer the Xiongnu two years from now?

If he doesn't use it, wouldn't the predestined relationship between him and Xiao Wanxi be like a kite with a broken string, impossible to reconnect?

Once this thought arose in his mind, it grew wildly like weeds.

Ning Chenyi felt a void in his heart, as if he had lost something important. An indescribable panic and anxiety quickly spread throughout his body.

He turned his head blankly, looking in the direction where Xiao Wanxi was, his eyes filled with helplessness and confusion.

At this moment, Xiao Wanxi stood quietly in the crowd, the sunlight outlining a soft halo around her.

Ning Chenyi looked at her, his face scrunched up like a child about to cry, his lips trembling slightly, yet he couldn't utter a single word.

At this moment, he was filled with worries about the future. If he could not go to war as planned, where would the Crown Princess he longed for come from?

He could almost see himself brushing past Xiao Wanxi, becoming strangers from then on. Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but redden slightly.

Xiao Wanxi, who was also immersed in the novelty of the new firearms, had curiosity and amazement in her eyes.

Upon hearing Qin Qianluo's words, she was suddenly jolted, as if struck by lightning, and only then did she realize the crucial issue as if waking from a dream.

Before the turmoil in her heart had subsided, she looked up and saw the Crown Prince's worried and tearful face.

Ning Chenyi's brows were tightly furrowed, several deep lines appeared on his forehead, and his lips were slightly pouting, making him look exactly like a child who had lost his beloved toy.

Before Xiao Wanxi could think it through, the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up slightly, revealing a smile she couldn't help but chuckle.

That smile, like a flower blooming in spring, instantly dispelled the gloom in her heart.

Xiao Muhan, standing to the side, felt a different kind of emotion after hearing this conversation.
