Having given Mu Yunniang time to consider, Yan Xiao didn't continue the topic but instead began arranging the next steps.
Her most important task right now is to upgrade her healing ability to level three. This way, she can not only heal Chu Heng, but also enhance her five senses and improve her combat power.
Just like now, Qi Chengfeng couldn't defeat Shen Muzhi directly, so he thought of using underhanded methods, and the first target was himself, Shen Muzhi's wife.
We are on guard now, but there's no guarantee that others won't try to take advantage of us later. So it's better to rely on ourselves than on others. In these special times, nothing is more reliable than improving our own combat capabilities.
Not only that, but Shen Qiyue's safety also needs to be taken more seriously in the future. Better safe than sorry.
But before that, she had to do something.
She asked Mu Yunniang to find her paper and pen, then drew the blueprints that Song Zhuxin had given her in several parts. After that, she dressed herself up as an ordinary soldier and had Wu Jian take her to the weapons camp in Jiangbei City.
Upon arriving at the destination, she did not reveal her identity at all, but instead took out the waist token given to her by Shen Muzhi and asked them to manufacture a batch of weapons for her.
She wasn't very clear about the situation in the military camp, nor did she know who the most reliable people were, so she left half of Shen Muzhi's men with her, giving each of them a blueprint with weapon parts drawn on it and assigning them to be in charge of a team's production.
Not only that, she also left the most crucial part unsaid, intending to take it back to Mo Antong to work on, and then have Zhao Qian find him a few reliable assistants.
When Wu Jian followed Yan Xiao out of the weapons camp, his expression was still somewhat unsettled.
He wasn't stupid; he naturally saw what the general's wife was up to.
He had originally intended to advise Yanxiao to wait until Shen Muzhi returned before making the weapon, to avoid any unforeseen complications. However, after reading Yanxiao's arrangements, he swallowed his words and at the same time showed even more respect for Yanxiao.
Yan Xiao had no idea what Wu Jian was thinking. She was very busy. After leaving the weapons camp, she changed her equipment and headed straight for the soap factory.
She had someone deliver a message to Mo Antong early in the morning, so Mo Antong was already waiting when she arrived.
Not only that, because Yan Xiao is currently unable to go to the General's Mansion, his daughter has also moved in under Yan Xiao's arrangement to facilitate her subsequent treatment.
After Yan Xiao followed Mo Antong into the house, she handed over a portion of the drawings she had made to Mo Antong.
Then he explained his requirements and told him that he would have Zhao Qian find him an assistant. After Mo Antong nodded in agreement, he handed over the complete drawings.
"These are the complete weapon blueprints I just obtained. I hope you can study them when you have time and see if you can apply them to create something new."
Mo Antong had a fervent passion for this subject, and once he saw the drawings, he couldn't take his eyes off them, praising them repeatedly.
"Whose work is this? Brilliant, truly brilliant!"
"This senior is no longer with us," Yan Xiao said truthfully.
Mo Antong was visibly disappointed upon hearing that his senior had passed away.
"Alas, it's a pity I have no chance to meet the senior and learn a thing or two."
Yan Xiao didn't have time to comfort him in his distress, and said directly:
"This is very important to me, so I hope you'll put in a lot of effort."
Hearing Yan Xiao's words, Mo Antong didn't even raise his head:
"Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely study it carefully."
Seeing how engrossed he was, Yan Xiao had nothing to worry about. If she was worried, it was that he might be so focused on his research that he would forget about something else.
Just as I was about to offer some pointers, Mo Antong continued:
"Don't worry, Madam. I'll do my research as I go, and I won't let it interfere with your work."
"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore."
Yan Xiao responded and went into the backyard. After giving Mo Antong's daughter a quick treatment, she returned to Duobaoge with Wu Jian.
Upon returning to Duobao Pavilion, she explained some things to Mu Yunniang, then locked herself in her room and instructed that no one was to disturb her without her permission.
Mu Yunniang and Wu Jian didn't think much of it, assuming that Yan Xiao was finally feeling tired and wanted to rest, so they followed the arrangement and went about their own business.
As for Yan Xiao's door, Wu Jian personally led a group of men to guard it. Without Yan Xiao's permission, unless he was dead, no one could enter.
After entering the house with a smile, he didn't linger at all and directly took out a jade artifact that he had taken from the city lord's mansion in Yanyun City from his luggage.
Then it began to absorb the spiritual energy from the jade.
As she expected, as soon as she started absorbing, the barrier to her ability's advancement showed signs of loosening. If she continued absorbing, it wouldn't be long before her healing ability successfully advanced to level three.
Everything went smoothly at first, but just as the advancement barrier completely collapsed and she successfully advanced to level three, she suddenly experienced some strange sensations in her body.
Yan Xiao frowned slightly, closed her eyes, and focused on carefully examining her body, trying to figure out what was causing that strange feeling.
It was soon discovered that the supernatural energy within her body was autonomously repairing some hidden injuries, which were completely undetectable before she reached level three of her supernatural abilities.
Not only that, during the repair process, another kind of energy began to slowly condense in her body. She was familiar with this energy because she had seen it on Lou Guyu before.
Upon realizing this, she was stunned for a moment, and then consciously began to guide her supernatural energy to detect and repair her body, which greatly accelerated the repair process.
When everything calmed down, Yan Xiao felt sticky all over and could smell an odor.
She opened her eyes and looked at herself. Good heavens, her clothes were soaked and clung to her body, and her skin was covered with a layer of dark gray grime, looking rather oily. It was utterly disgusting.
"yue~"...
Yan Xiao couldn't hold it in and spat out a mouthful of sour water, feeling like her whole body was about to crack.
She didn't dare breathe, quickly covered her nose with a cloth, and shouted towards the outside:
"Someone, prepare several buckets of hot water for me, yum! Hurry up!"
Wu Jian, who was on duty outside, heard Yan Xiao's order and immediately responded, then told his servants to carry it out quickly.
When the maids carried the hot water into the room, they didn't see Yanxiao, but they smelled a strange, slightly pungent odor.
They looked at each other, puzzled, when they heard a voice laughing:
"You can leave once the water is released."
"yes."
Although the maids were somewhat puzzled by what they heard, they dared not linger and quickly bowed their heads in response before retreating. After leaving the house, they did not dare to discuss the matter further.
