As for Zhao Hao, he rode fast all the way until dawn, and there were no pursuers behind him, which made him feel much more relieved.
Everyone took a short break, and both people and horses rested and ate something.
At this time, Qing Xing, along with a dozen of his Qingqi subordinates, also rode up on horseback.
The two parties met together and Zhao Hao made a few brief inquiries. He learned that there were no pursuers behind him, and he finally put his heart at ease.
After a brief rest, we continued on our way.
The journey was supposed to take about half a month, but everyone traveled day and night, sleeping in the open air.
In the end, it only took eight days to return to the capital.
At night, Pepper Room.
Jiang Wan'er saw Zhao Hao and Qing Xing returning.
Zhao Hao told Jiang Wan'er in detail everything that happened in Shu.
Finally, he said, "Your Majesty, Shu is determined to participate in the Four Kingdoms' attack on Gan."
"However, this trip of mine was not completely without gain."
"At least, it can prevent them from investing all their strength at the beginning of the war."
"This should reduce a lot of pressure on me to do a lot."
Jiang Wan'er nodded.
"good."
"What we need most right now is more time to prepare."
"Right now, Yue is in a state of panic, and Shu doesn't dare to put in all its efforts."
"Then the pressure we face at the beginning of the war will still come from Wu and Southern Chu."
"This is within the acceptable range."
"By the way, I received the blueprint for the improved bow that you asked Qing Xing to send back a few days ago."
"And, I asked the production supervisor to make a sample overnight."
"The range of this bow is at least thirty steps longer than our original hard bow."
Speaking of the improved bow and arrow drawings that Zhao Hao sent back, Jiang Wan'er's beautiful eyes showed joy.
The bows and arrows of the Dagan army are better than those of other countries, especially compared with the barbarians.
Originally, there was no advantage.
Everyone is about the same.
In terms of range, it can reach nearly one hundred and fifty steps.
However, after the sample of Zhao Hao's improved bow came out, she tried it herself and found that it could reach 180 steps.
Don't underestimate this distance of just thirty steps.
That's almost twenty meters.
These extra twenty meters mean that you can attack before the enemy.
This gives their side an unlimited advantage.
This improved bow is not as shocking as when Zhao Hao invented the sky-high bomb.
However, its effect is no less than that of a bomb.
You know, this is something that can be assembled over a large area.
Unlike the thunder bomb, it can only equip a part of the army.
Moreover, they must be used in a unified manner to achieve the best effect.
Zhao Hao couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty has ordered people to start making it?"
Jiang Wan'er nodded: "After the experiment, I immediately asked the craftsmen to start making it."
"We will try to produce more before the war."
"This way, I will have a greater chance of winning!"
Zhao Hao nodded. He was not clear about these things.
He could only assist and help from the side, but when the fight really broke out, there was very little he could do.
Seeing that he was disheveled and looked exhausted, Jiang Wan'er said softly, "Go back quickly. Yongning has been coming to see me often recently, asking when you will be back."
"I can't stand it anymore."
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Yes, I will take my leave now."
Having said that, he bowed and retreated.
After he left, Jiang Wan'er looked at Qing Xing and asked, "Anything else to add?"
Qing Xing nodded and said, "This trip to Shu is still somewhat dangerous."
"They want to put Lord Zhao under house arrest and force him to hand over the method of making the thunder bomb."
"Fortunately, Lord Zhao had already made preparations. As soon as he arrived at the capital of Shu, he was already planning how to leave."
“That’s why I was able to come back so smoothly.”
Jiang Wan'er nodded.
Just now, Zhao Hao didn't mention this matter at all, he just said that everything was going well.
…
After leaving the palace, Zhao Hao went straight back to the princess's mansion.
At home, because the guards went back first, they had already learned the news of his return.
Therefore, Yongning and his aunt Jiang Yiren had already made preparations and set up a sumptuous banquet.
I met two women, well, to be exact, I met three women, and a daughter.
The tension that Zhao Hao had been holding on to finally relaxed.
After taking a bath, I hugged my daughter for a long time.
The little guy was in his arms, babbling non-stop.
Yongning watched from the side, his eyes full of happiness.
"Okay, stop teasing her and come over to eat! Didn't you eat well all the way?"
Zhao Hao nodded, put the child down, took a deep breath and said:
"Yes, I have been traveling day and night for the past ten days. I am so eager to go home. I just want to come back earlier and see you earlier."
"I'm finally back. It feels so good to be home!"
Yongning smiled and said, "Of course, the outside world is not as good as home. It's really unfortunate."
"Mom is going back today. She has been living here all these days."
“And then you came back!”
Zhao Hao laughed and said, "It's okay. I sent someone back to inform them when I entered the city."
After the meal, the three of them sat together and drank tea, and Zhao Hao briefly recounted what happened in Shu.
The three of them sat there until very late, and then Zhao Hao and Yongning went back to their room to sleep.
