Chapter 476 A Magnificent Era

The Chu army has been counted.

Huangfu Su stood on a high place, wearing armor.

"My lords, the Jin state has gone too far! This battle is a matter of life and death. I swear to live and die with you!"

Some people follow Huangfu Nanfeng's iron-fisted style.

Naturally, some people accepted Huangfu Su's appeasement policy.

Huangfu Su and Huangfu Nanfeng looked into each other's eyes as if they wanted to tear each other apart.

But now they can only fight against one enemy together.

Huangfu Nanfeng was well aware of the danger Qin Jinzhi was in.

She has grown up again.

In this short period of time, she has already begun to handle things with ease.

This put him on the defensive and made him struggle when dealing with her.

We must not lose this battle.

Despite his severe injuries, Huangfu Nanfeng began to deploy his troops.

It happened on the night of the second day.

The State of Jin attacked.

The Chu soldiers confronted the Jin army from the city walls.

A bugle call.

All that could be heard was the sound of bronze rubbing together.

Upon hearing the bugle call of the Jin army's attack, the Chu army immediately unleashed a volley of arrows.

But there wasn't a single sound of wailing from below the city wall.

The sound of all the metal objects clashing together.

The Chu army took a closer look.

The jet-black iron object had grown legs and was moving towards the city gate.

What the hell is this thing?!

Meanwhile, the soldiers of Jin stood still in a place where the Chu army could not attack.

"Monster! Monster!"

Many Chu soldiers shouted in panic from the city walls.

The general defending the city immediately roared, "Stop spreading rumors and misleading the public!"

The Chu army shouted, "That iron lump is impervious to swords and spears, and it can even move! Isn't it a monster?!"

Just then, the sound of gunpowder exploding came from the city gate.

The Chu army panicked, shouting, "That monster is blowing up the city gate!"

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the city gate collapsed with a crash.

Qin Jinzhi shouted, "Attack the city!"

The Jin soldiers immediately rushed towards the city gate.

With mechanical beasts leading the way, the Zhenbei Army pressed forward without hesitation.

The State of Jin captured three cities in succession.

The Chu army was in a state of panic.

Huangfu Nanfeng looked at everyone and said coldly, "Please calm down, everyone. I already know what that lump of iron is."

The Chu general immediately asked, "Isn't that a monster raised by the State of Jin?"

Huangfu Nanfeng passed on the blueprints and letters he had received that morning to everyone.

"There are two great families of mechanical artisans in Jin State. Qin Ziyi had a sworn brother who was from this family. I heard that he was a genius in recent years. This iron lump was a mechanical beast that he developed ten years ago. However, he disappeared ten years ago and his fate is unknown. I never expected that he would be right next to Qin Jinzhi."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the name of the mechanical beast.

Then they tensed up again, "This mechanical beast is so powerful, what should we do?"

Huangfu Nanfeng looked at the man and said, "This genius of mechanical devices is not unique to Jin. I have already asked my father to issue an imperial decree to the head of the Nangong family, asking him to come and help. He will arrive here tomorrow."

The Chu soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With their fear of monsters gone and knowing that a wise man was coming to their aid, the morale of the Chu army rose again.

The Jin state's siege speed also slowed down.

Gongshu Zhi listened to the good news every day, feeling happy while avoiding Qin Jinzhi.

In the end, they simply moved into the mecha camp where the mechanical beasts were repaired.

The damaged mechanical beasts are repaired and returned daily.

On this day, Gongshu Zhi was hammering and banging.

Suddenly someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind.

Gongshu Zhi turned around and saw Mo Ziyuan looking down at him.

"I've been looking for you for ages."

Gongshu Zhi immediately felt relieved.

"My wife, you've finally arrived! That brat wanted to eat me the moment she saw me! You'd better teach her a lesson!"

Mo Ziyuan took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the iron dust off his face.

"Take us to see her."

Gongshu Zhi smiled and said, "Alright."

Then he immediately asked in doubt, "Us?"

Only then did he notice that there was a woman standing behind Mo Ziyuan.

The woman was about the same age as Mo Ziyuan.

Gongshu Zhi led the two men to Qin Jinzhi's tent.

He coughed lightly and quietly tugged at Mo Ziyuan's sleeve.

Then he walked in with his head held high and chest out.

"Jinzhi, your aunt is here."

Qin Jinzhi was looking at the battle report when she heard Gongshu Zhi's voice and looked up.

Mo Ziyuan smiled and said, "Princess, how have you been?"

Qin Jinzhi stood up, "Auntie, you're making Jinzhi feel too bad."

Gongshu Zhi said with a pretentious expression, "That's right, that's right. You're her elder, and this is our daughter. You don't need to be so polite to her."

Mo Ziyuan looked at Gongshu Zhi and said, "Go outside and wait."

Gongshu stopped, ?

He pointed to himself, "I went out again?"

With a single glance from Mo Ziyuan, Gongshu Zhi immediately turned and left.

Qin Jinzhi said, "Auntie, please sit down. The military camp is simple and unadorned, please don't mind."

Mo Ziyuan didn't stand on ceremony and sat down to the side.

She looked at Qin Jinzhi and said, "I've come here today to introduce someone to you."

Qin Jinzhi's gaze fell on the woman beside Mo Ziyuan.

Unlike Mo Ziyuan's aloofness, the woman exuded a vibrant life force.

She stood up and said, "Zhuge Zhi greets the princess."

A smile appeared in Qin Jinzhi's eyes.

Several hundred years ago, an ancestor of the Zhuge family was famous throughout the land.

His talent and wisdom are known throughout the world.

But many people don't know that the ancestor developed his own school of mechanical arts.

Today, people only know about the Mohists and the Gongshu School.

But if the Zhuge family truly wanted to contend, they would not allow their glory to be obscured.

Qin Jinzhi smiled and looked at Zhuge Zhi, "Since Auntie brought you here, you must have a close relationship. Then Jinzhi will also call you Auntie."

Zhuge Zhi laughed and said, "Princess, you are so generous. I won't accept this title of 'Aunt' for nothing."

Mo Ziyuan looked at Qin Jinzhi and said, "The Gongshu family is good at attacking, the Mo family is good at defending, and the Zhuge family's mechanical arts are the best of the best. With all three combined, they were able to win a great victory in the war against Chu."

Qin Jinzhi looked at Mo Ziyuan and said, "Auntie, I thought you were a smart person and wouldn't let Gongshu Zhi act recklessly."

Mo Ziyuan smiled and said, "I have found the person I have been searching for all my life, and it is only right that I put my ambitions to use. So should Azhi."

She spent those seven days away searching for Zhuge Zhi.

They are confidantes, bosom friends, and also share the ambition to save the world.

Therefore, when Mo Ziyuan shared his thoughts with Zhuge Zhi...

Without hesitation, she embarked on the journey with Mo Ziyuan.

Qin Jinzhi looked at Mo Ziyuan and said, "Auntie, what you want, I can't give you."

Mo Ziyuan drank the tea that had gone completely cold.

"I was blinded by my own limited perspective before and had many prejudices against you, but the more I get to know you, the more I know that you are the one I have been looking for."

Qin Jinzhi looked at Mo Ziyuan and said, "Auntie may not know something, but I don't have long to live."

Mo Ziyuan raised an eyebrow. "Why?"

Qin Jinzhi said, "I am poisoned by the Azure Sky Poison and only have two years to live. What you want is too great. I don't have time. It's not worth it for you to do this for a dying person."

Mo Ziyuan was taken aback, then asked, "Isn't there an antidote?"

Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "Auntie, take Gongshu Zhi and leave this place. Go and live your own lives."

Zhuge Zhi laughed and stood up, "You little girl are too pessimistic. So what if you only have two years to live? Two years is enough time to make something of your life!"
