Then have them work on it together. Wouldn't that be faster?

You and Qingyun's father have already decided to be together, so I sincerely treat you as a family member. Tell me the recipe, and we will speed up the production process. Qingyun will also be grateful to you. Qingyun, don't you agree?

Although he thought a cunning woman like Murong Yan would most likely not agree, Murong Qingyu still said it shamelessly. How would he know if he didn't try it? And if it didn't work once, twice, it wouldn't be easy to refuse after the hundredth time, right?

But he obviously underestimated Murong Yan's face. Murong Yan smiled at Murong Qingyu and said, "Dad, you also know that this is Yan'er's ability to make a living in this world. If even this recipe is handed over, how can Yan'er survive here?

You once said that the Marshal's Mansion doesn't support idlers. If Yan'er hands over the recipe, won't she become an idler?"

Seeing that Murong Qingyu looked a little unhappy, Murong Yan didn't feel embarrassed at all to say these things.

"Dad, Qingyun, Yan'er's feelings for you are absolutely sincere, and I believe you can feel it. But please also understand Yan'er's situation. After all, Yan'er has no power here at all. You should at least leave Yan'er a way out, right?

Have you ever seen a doctor who runs a pharmacy casually give away his secret recipe? That's the foundation of his livelihood! So Daddy, please forgive me.

But don't worry, Daddy. From today on, you just need to prepare everything Yan'er asked for. Yan'er will just make them by herself in the secret room on weekdays. Make sure that Yan'er can use all the materials you prepare before Daddy's cannons are all ready.

So there's no need to worry about making bombs. What I'm worried about is that the raw materials Dad has found are too few to support a war."

Murong Qingyu hadn't expected Murong Yan to refuse so directly. He didn't know what to say. After all, she was right. If it were him, he wouldn't have given the recipe away either.

Murong Qingyu chuckled, not feeling embarrassed at all, and said, "Yan'er is right. It was Daddy's inconsiderateness that put you in a difficult position. Daddy promises you now that when Daddy conquers the South Yue Kingdom, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. Moreover, you can come and go freely in the Murong Mansion, and there will definitely be no one monitoring you. You are the future mistress of my Murong Mansion!"

"Thank you for your promise, Daddy. Don't worry, Daddy. Yan'er said that as long as Qingyun wants, as long as there are enough raw materials, let alone Nanyue, even Kyushu Continent, Yan'er can easily take it and send it to Qingyun."

"Okay, okay! It's enough for Daddy to have you say this."

"But Daddy, Princess Yuewu..."

"Yuewu is merely a hostage sent by the Western Jin Dynasty to the Marshal's Office. My father promised us that if we conquered Nanyue, we would give them five states and ten cities close to the Western Jin Dynasty. Now, we're going to act soon. This princess isn't so much a marriage alliance as she's been sent by the Western Jin Dynasty to supervise our Marshal's Office.

Don't worry, she won't bother you again. Dad can guarantee that you won't see her when you're in the mansion."

After the cannon experiment was completed, Murong Yan explained to Lao Han some areas that needed improvement in manufacturing, and then left with Murong Qingyu and Murong Qingyun.
