Having just been hurt by Jiang Qingwan's words, he was now being told that his meticulously designed chariot was a broken chariot.
Luo Jiu was instantly annoyed.
He slapped Wang Hao on the head.
"You can kill me, but you can't insult my craft!"
Wang Hao was already furious after losing so many brothers, and being slapped only fueled his anger. He drew his dagger and prepared to kill the man.
"I drew the blueprints for that chariot."
Jiang Qingwan spoke calmly, stopping the situation from spiraling out of control before Mo Yunhan could react.
Everyone looked at her.
Jiang Qingwan appeared even more relaxed than before, tossing the thousand-hole lock onto the table and staring sharply at Wang Hao.
"If the tanks are built according to my blueprints, there will be absolutely no problems!"
A storm raged in Mo Yunhan's heart.
The amazing chariot blueprints that had impressed him were actually created by Jiang Qingwan.
"Someone, bring in all the wreckage of the tanks, don't leave out a single part."
The soldiers quickly carried the items into the hall and placed them on the ground.
Luo Jiu was stunned when he saw the wrecked chariot.
"This...how is this possible?"
He quickly stepped forward to check.
Although Jiang Qingwan provided the blueprints, he personally built the chariot.
Before he could even touch the part, Wang Hao lifted him up.
"Don't try to destroy the evidence."
With Mo Yunhan present, they dared not pressure Jiang Qingwan, and could only stare at Luo Jiu with predatory eyes.
Ignoring the tense atmosphere, Jiang Qingwan squatted down in front of the wreckage and examined it thoroughly.
The chariot, which combines defense and offense, has many more mechanisms than ordinary mechanical chariots, allowing for precise mechanical maneuvers.
The more sophisticated the mechanism, the easier it is to destroy.
Just like the thousand-hole lock known as a divine mechanism, once you know how to make it, you also know how to solve it.
However, if one knows nothing about it and tries to unlock it simply by relying on the mechanical skills one has learned, it is harder than climbing to the sky.
Therefore, if a tank has been tampered with, the tampering will definitely occur at the mechanism or latch.
She squatted on the ground and poked at it with a hairpin.
The chariot blueprint appeared clearly in my mind, and I pieced together all the scattered mechanisms bit by bit onto the drawing.
This is an extremely mentally taxing task.
By the time she finished piecing it together, her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.
She raised her hand and sorted out more than a dozen different shapes and sizes from a pile of seemingly very similar mechanisms, placing them on the ground.
Then he gestured to Luo Jiu.
"Come and take a look."
Luo Jiu finally broke free from Wang Hao's grasp and immediately came over to check.
He was furious a moment later.
"Your Highness, this chariot is not the one I built."
Mo Yunhan did not personally go to the patrol camp to check the troops.
Qin Minglang was the one who went to inspect the troops.
"Wang Hao, is one of these chariots the one I sent first?"
Wang Hao shook his head.
"This humble general did not know. At that time, Qin Minglang came with an imperial edict to muster troops. After selecting this humble general, he asked this humble general to select others. By the time the troops were assembled, the chariots, armor, and other military supplies had been mobilized."
The people behind him discussed the matter with puzzlement.
"Could it be that General Qin was behind this?"
"That's impossible. The chariots were sent from the Ministry of War and have been stored in the patrol camp. General Qin only went there with the imperial edict not long ago. How could he have done that?"
Someone outside the courtyard was whispering.
"Is this just an attempt to shirk responsibility?"
Luo Jiu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at his opponent.
Just as he was about to argue, Jiang Qingwan raised her hand to stop him.
"If these two destroyed tanks are not the ones you built, go back and check these mechanisms to make a comparison, and you will know the truth in no time."
After she finished speaking, she instructed Qinghui to divide the items into three portions and hand them over to the three deputy generals, including Wang Hao.
“Each of you will keep a portion, and you will all witness the truth after we return to the capital. Rest assured, since I am the Ninth Prince’s Consort personally bestowed by the Emperor, there is absolutely no possibility of me escaping.”
The group exchanged glances, remained silent, put their belongings away, and bowed slightly to Jiang Qingwan.
Once the atmosphere calmed down, Jiang Qingwan continued, "Right now, the most important thing is to break this mechanism disc and find those thieves. Although I know how to unlock the Thousand-Hole Lock, I can't dismantle it the moment the curved disc attacks on the battlefield, so this method won't work."
She stepped forward and picked up the iron chain that Luo Jiu had thrown aside.
"This thing can hold them off for a while. Let's find a blacksmith shop and make a few more, then distribute them to the soldiers who are skilled enough to train in the Bagua formation. If we encounter the disc attack again, at least we'll have a chance to fight back."
As Mo Yunhan watched her stabilize morale and easily resolve the chariot issue, she cleverly covered up everyone's curiosity and speculation about Shenji Banlu. Everyone's attention was drawn to the current strategy for breaking the deadlock.
Such quick wit and meticulous attention to detail caught his eye and a hint of admiration.
"Then let's go to Zhang the blacksmith's house in the east of the city. He's not here and probably won't be back tonight. Qinghui, you accompany Master Luo... Shui."
Then he pointed to the three lieutenants, "Wang Hao stays here to rest. You two take a few skilled men to help. Use whatever you can find on the spot, and follow Master Shui's orders."
Since it concerned breaking the formation, the two deputy generals naturally didn't say much, cupped their hands in agreement, and walked out with Qing Sui and Luo Jiu.
Mo Yunhan then thought of something and added a sentence.
"If the blacksmith returns, just knock him unconscious and subdue him without saying a word."
The group left quickly.
Jiang Qingwan looked at Qian Kongsuo again, her eyes dark and thoughtful.
