Jiang Qingwan handed over the few sheets of Xuan paper in her hand.
"Give this to Luo Jiu. I have drawn a very clear diagram of how to break the curse. If there is not enough pig iron, go to each household to borrow some. Just say that the fairy needs it, and they will give it to you."
Qing Sui wanted to remind him that it wasn't Luo Jiu but Master Shui, but it was already too late.
After she saw the drawing on the rice paper, she completely forgot about it.
I was completely drawn in.
"Is this...is this a new type of machine weapon?"
The more she looked, the more alarmed she became. Knowing the matter was serious, she didn't dare delay and turned to leave in a hurry.
Qin Minglang sneered as he spoke.
"Luo Jiu? Your Highness, you've kept this a secret for a long time. It seems that the problem with the chariot is closely related to this legendary master mechanic, which is why Your Highness and Your Highness have kept it a secret from you."
The soldiers nearby had also heard of Luo Jiu.
They all looked at each other in bewilderment.
"So it was that master mechanic."
"It seems he can't escape the responsibility for the chariot."
Jiang Qingwan then came to her senses and calmly looked at Qin Minglang, who had a smug look on his face.
"It's not that we deliberately concealed it, but when General Qin went to Luo Jiu's residence to force him to cooperate with you, he was refused entry and started cursing. He also had a huge fight with that County Princess Su. He used the power of the old Prince Su to coerce her into making harsh statements. Now that the war chariot has been in such a mess, it's hard to say that it's not because General Qin failed to get Luo Jiu's help and resorted to underhanded tactics. We will investigate this matter thoroughly after we return to the capital."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Yunhan was already standing next to her.
"General Qin, the King and Queen have given you face time and time again, yet you have no shame whatsoever. Have you forgotten what you did in the patrol camp that day?"
The soldiers who came here were all from the patrol battalion.
That day, the Emperor personally visited the patrol camp, and everyone was present.
They had all seen the play that Qin Minglang directed and acted in.
Now that all the clues match up, their gazes toward Qin Minglang immediately turned contemptuous.
Qin Minglang was so angry that he wanted to explain, but Jiang Qingwan mentioned the Su family.
He was still somewhat guilty about this matter and dared not be too presumptuous.
She could only angrily shrug and return to her room.
Mo Yunhan looked down at Jiang Qingwan.
What's wrong with you?
Jiang Qingwan shook her head. "Those people won't give us much time. Go ahead and get busy. I'm fine."
After saying that, he turned the person away again.
Back in her room, she sat listlessly in a chair, her mind still unsettled.
Even if the person was wearing a mask and had changed their clothes, she wouldn't mistake the vine gourd.
That was a birthday gift she gave to her second senior brother; she even had the character "曰" (yue) engraved on it herself.
She originally wanted to carve the character "鲁" (Lu), but she was young and not very strong at the time, and she really disliked that there were too many strokes.
The leader of that group, the one addressed as "Sir," was indeed her second senior brother, Xiao Rancuo, also known as the Divine Strategist Banlu.
But why?
The ironclad rule of the Zhuge School is that disciples must not interfere in matters of the imperial court.
Even though she was already involved, she tried her best to avoid interfering in the fate of the nation during the change of the court.
Why would the second senior brother do such a thing?
She couldn't understand it.
But in this war, regardless of who wins or loses, those ingenious mechanisms will be presented to the emperor.
This will inevitably cause a huge uproar.
At that time, Shenji Banlu and Zhuge Men will be involved.
Could something have happened in the Qilian Mountains?
She immediately got up and beckoned Xiao Hong in.
After being questioned, it knew very little, only saying that it had escaped from a secluded mountain cave, and since it had not seen anyone, it went down the mountain to look for her.
However, the spirit-gathering array in the mountain was not destroyed, and the birds and beasts showed no abnormalities.
Jiang Qingwan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo Jiu was still busy until it was completely dark.
Mo Yunhan has already deployed all his troops to prevent them from being attacked through the secret passage.
The blacksmith shop also arranged for people to protect it, but Luo Jiuhao did not take out the hidden weapon that had broken the new mechanical weapon.
Ye Qi stood beside Mo Yunhan and whispered, "Old Luo said that materials are limited, the villagers' farm tools are not of good quality, and that hidden weapon requires refined iron. Since you and the Princess have already found the location, why don't we take the initiative to attack? It's a fight anyway, and I don't believe we can lose!"
Mo Yunhan had mentioned this suggestion when he brought Jiang Qingwan back from that small village.
Jiang Qingwan didn't say anything at the time, she just shook her head.
Mo Yunhan initially thought the village possessed some powerful array, but now…
He handed over the secret letter he had just received from the guards.
"See for yourself."
As the night unfolded, I was suddenly filled with trepidation.
"Gunpowder? You suspect that the batch of gunpowder that was transported out is hidden in that village?"
Mo Yunhan is not entirely certain about this.
When I went in, I was only focused on checking the hidden weapons and didn't check this.
However, based on the clues traced in the direction of the shipment, the gunpowder did indeed arrive at Qingfeng Village.
However, there were no traces of gunpowder in the street chief's house.
He had just ordered his soldiers to search many households, and because of Jiang Qingwan's reputation, they cooperated well, but there were still no traces of gunpowder.
Since the gunpowder is not here, it must have been stored in the real Qingfeng Village.
A direct assault is not a good strategy.
Who knows where they buried the gunpowder?
The night grew even darker.
Ye Qi also led his men out on patrol.
Mo Yunhan turned around and walked back into the courtyard.
Lian'er stood at the bedroom door with a distressed expression. Upon seeing him approach, she immediately said, "Your Highness, Miss still won't open the door. I'm really worried. Why don't we just barge in?"
