Chapter 407 Xiao Muyu returns to Beijing!
Marshal Wen's expression was extremely solemn. "Why is a wooden bird flying in the sky? Could it be something made in Xiliang?"
"Grandfather!" Yu Youning smiled brightly, "This was made by Sister Muyu!"
"Did Mu Yu do it?"
Marshal Wen's expression relaxed for a moment, but soon turned curious.
"Mu Yu is so powerful? He can even make a flying bird?"
"Yes!" Yu Youning's face showed great pride.
"During the Three Kingdoms Competition, Sister Muyu not only made flying birds, but she also flew us! Sister Muyu said she would definitely replicate those mechanical birds and use them for our Dayong army. When the time comes, let Brother Huo form an air force. If a war really breaks out with Xiliang, our air force will be invincible!"
Even though he had never seen such a scene with his own eyes, Marshal Wen became excited just by listening to Yu Youning's description.
"If that's true, that would be great!"
By that time, not only Dayong would no longer have to fear Xiliang.
Even Xiliang is afraid of Dayong!
If it were in the past, Marshal Wen would have just laughed it off when he heard such words.
Imagination is good, but the reality is not necessarily so.
But now, the situation is different.
Now, Xiao Muyu really made a flying bird.
Although this bird is a little smaller, it can actually fly from Liangcheng to Beijing.
Just thinking about it makes Marshal Wen extremely excited.
At this moment, the old butler ran over with an excited look on his face.
"Master, Miss Muyu is back and has arrived at the front hall!"
Marshal Wen, who had been extremely excited just now, calmed down in an instant.
"Muyu is back?"
So, this mechanical bird in the sky didn’t fly back from Xiliang?
Although he had such a guess in his mind, Marshal Wen was still unwilling to believe it. He still held on to a glimmer of fantasy and pointed at the mechanical bird in front of him and asked the old butler.
"So this bird—"
The old butler had no idea what Marshal Wen was thinking. He just thought that Marshal Wen didn't know him, so he asked curiously and the Marshal immediately explained with a smile.
"Master, this is what Miss Muyu just released! Don't be fooled by the fact that it's made of wood, it flies high and far! It flew directly from the front hall to here. It's really amazing! In all my years, this old servant has never seen such a thing!"
The old butler was extremely excited and kept talking.
But Marshal Wen sighed in his heart.
It’s actually true!
Although I felt a little disappointed, the feeling of disappointment did not last long.
Although the mechanical bird made by Xiao Muyu cannot fly from Liangcheng to Beijing now.
But he believed that with Xiao Muyu's intelligence and talent, he would definitely be able to accomplish this in his lifetime!
I just don’t know if this old guy can still see!
These were all what Marshal Wen was thinking in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face at all, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Marshal Wen has adjusted his mood and is smiling brightly.
"Youning, let's go, let's go see your sister Muyu, don't let her wait anxiously!"
Yu Youning followed Marshal Wen forward and did not forget to take out a porcelain bottle and hand it to the old butler.
"This is a pill I made. After taking it, it can make your hair black. You should try it too!"
When the old butler was young, he fought in wars with Marshal Wen.
After Marshal Wen returned from the battlefield, he followed Marshal Wen and served as his housekeeper.
He is called a butler, but to Marshal Wen, he is no different from a relative.
After hearing Yu Youning's words, the housekeeper was surprised and terrified, "Miss Youning, this... this is too valuable, I——"
"Take it if it's given to you! Eat one quickly!" Marshal Wen said without question. "If you don't eat it, I'll be the only old man with black hair. Wouldn't that look weird? Someone has to accompany me!"
After hearing what Marshal Wen said, the butler stopped refusing and took the porcelain bottle with both hands.
"Thank you, Miss Youning!"
Such a valuable thing, and she still thinks about him!
He knew very well that if he took this to sell outside, who knows how many dignitaries would come to buy it with money, and there might not even be a queue.
It was because he followed Marshal Wen that he had the chance to eat it!
The three of them soon arrived at the front hall.
As soon as I entered the front hall, I saw Xiao Muyu.
Xiao Muyu was originally sitting, but when he heard the noise, he immediately stood up.
"Grandpa, Youning!"
Xiao Muyu was dressed in tight clothes and looked exhausted. It was obvious that he had rushed back at full speed.
"Sister Muyu!"
Yu Youning ran to Xiao Muyu and hugged her arm directly.
Xiao Muyu tried to dodge, but failed to avoid it. She could only helplessly say, "I'm too dirty. What if I get you dirty?"
"So what?" Yu Youning didn't care. "Can't I just wash it when it gets dirty?"
Seeing Yu Youning like this, Xiao Muyu smiled dotingly and didn't say anything more.
Youning herself didn't care, so if she said anything else, it would seem pretentious.
Yu Youning was very curious, "Sister Muyu, why did you come back so suddenly? Why didn't Brother Huo come back with you?"
"He also came back, but we separated after entering the capital, and he returned to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion."
Yu Youning patted his head and said, "I was stupid!"
Huo Yun'an had been gone for several years, and now that he had finally returned, he naturally had to go back home to see his mother first.
"Sister Muyu, you came back suddenly. Did something happen in Liangcheng?" Yu Youning asked again.
This was also a question that Marshal Wen was concerned about, and he looked at Xiao Muyu with some nervousness.
"Muyu, is there something wrong in Liangcheng?"
Liangcheng had just experienced a plague, and was severely damaged. It has not yet recovered.
If something happens at this time, it will be very bad!
“No, no!”
Xiao Muyu shook his head repeatedly, "Liangcheng is fine, nothing happened. We came back for the mechanical engineering matter!"
Marshal Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Liangcheng was not over.
As long as nothing happens in Liangcheng, it’s fine!
Yu Youning looked at Xiao Muyu with curiosity, "What happened to the mechanical arts?"
"I was researching mechanical birds over there and found that the smaller ones could still fly, but their flight distance was limited. The larger ones couldn't fly at all.
I don't think I can research it in such a short time on my own. I can't manufacture many of the parts by myself. But as you know, Liangcheng is a remote place, so there aren't many people who understand mechanical engineering. A large number of them are in the military, and they have their own responsibilities and can't work with me on the mechanical bird all the time.
After some discussion, we finally decided to return to the capital and inform the Emperor of this matter. He should order the collection of all the experts in mechanical engineering in the world, especially those with innovative ideas. Strength comes from numbers, and it will be more likely to accomplish this task in a short period of time."
Listening to Xiao Muyu's words, Yu Youning nodded in agreement, "Sister Muyu, your thoughts are correct. Just like I hope there will be more female doctors in the world and have opened medical schools, Sister Muyu can also open a school to teach mechanical engineering."
Xiao Muyu was a little tempted, but finally shook his head, "Even if we want to do this, we have to wait until the mechanical bird is built."
Marshal Wen had been listening to the two people talking. When he heard this, he finally couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Youning told me that you had already created a mechanical bird during the Three Kingdoms Competition. Why are you still researching it yourself now?"
Xiao Muyu hurriedly explained, "At that time, it was just a matter of combining the given materials, which was relatively simple. But after the Three Kingdoms Competition, the mechanical bird disappeared, and I didn't even have the chance to study it in detail."
If I want to replicate it now, I can only rely on my memory and make those parts one by one. This takes time and requires a little bit of trial and error. I can remember the appearance, but the size..."
Xiao Muyu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
She hated herself for not having a photographic memory, otherwise things wouldn't be so difficult now.
Yu Youning felt a little regretful after listening to Xiao Muyu's words.
If she had known this would happen, she should have taken the initiative and touched all the parts with her hands.
But there is no point in saying this now.
There is no medicine for regret in this world, and it is impossible to start over!
Xiao Muyu looked at the expression on Yu Youning's face and guessed what she was thinking, and hurried to comfort her.
"Youning, don't think too much. This isn't your fault. It's my fault for not remembering it. But don't worry, I'll be able to develop it sooner or later."
"Um!"
Yu Youning nodded heavily.
"I believe Sister Muyu can definitely do it!"
Marshal Wen looked at Xiao Muyu and asked, "When will you appear before the Emperor? Today or tomorrow?"
"I think the sooner the better. Yun An has already submitted the memorial. If the emperor summons me, I should be able to enter the palace this afternoon."
"Why don't you hurry up!" Marshal Wen urged.
"What's the hurry?" Xiao Muyu was a little surprised.
"Hurry up and take a shower and change your clothes! You must take a shower and change your clothes before meeting the emperor. Do you really want to go so exhausted?"
That's too disrespectful to the emperor!
Xiao Muyu has lived in Liangcheng for a long time and has become accustomed to it.
Even when she went to meet Zhenbei Hou and Wen Beiyao, she went there dirty.
In this situation, she never thought that she would have to bathe and change clothes before meeting the emperor.
Although I feel a little troubled, I still have to go.
"Then I'll go right away..."
Marshal Wen nodded. "Well, I'll have the housekeeper arrange things for you. Go ahead! After you've finished washing and cleaning up, go straight to the flower hall and have something to eat. You can't go into the palace hungry!"
Marshal Wen is old, so he is particularly thoughtful.
