After working all night, the first piece of cloth armor was made.
Jiang Yuzhu rubbed her eyes and found that Mo Yan and Shen Zhilan were not sleepy at all. Their eyes were shining and they were eager to try.
"Take the cloth armor back to the General's Mansion and let Uncle Mo try it on."
The remaining armor pieces are enough to make another one of the same size. Compared with traditional iron armor, it is lighter, more flexible and concealed, while saving materials.
In case Mo Changchuan objects, it would be better to recover in time.
"Sister Yuzhu, my father is so happy that he can't wait to have the credit. Don't worry, I won't steal the credit!"
Mo Yan picked up the cloth mask with both hands and ran out with Shen Zhilan in big strides.
It was just dawn. Jiang Yuzhu, who hadn't slept all night, drank a bowl of warm millet porridge and felt sleepy.
By the time she got up, it was already afternoon.
"Madam, General Mo has been waiting in the side hall for several hours."
Hongfeng brought warm water and reminded.
There was a shortage of servants in the mansion, with only one cook who made snacks left.
Ningxiang ran to act as a fire-making maid. The other maids had no good cooking skills, so they even discussed going to the restaurant to order food to entertain Mo Changchuan.
"Then why didn't you wake me up?"
Jiang Yuzhu slept until she woke up naturally, feeling very energetic. She guessed that Mo Changchuan couldn't wait to come over after seeing the cloth mask.
Hong Feng replied, "I heard you didn't sleep all night. I'm sorry to bother you, General."
After washing up, Jiang Yuzhu hurried to the side hall to meet the guests. She always respected Mo Changchuan as an elder.
Sitting in the wheelchair, Mo Changchuan laughed heartily and said, "Yuzhu, the cloth armor has finally solved a big problem!"
It is no exaggeration to say that it is enough to reverse the weakness of the Qi army and compete with the barbarians.
As long as the military supplies can keep up, Mo Changchuan is very confident that this time he will drive the barbarians out of Si Shui City and they will not be able to invade Da Qi for decades.
After a few greetings, Mo Changchuan was escorted back home by servants.
As soon as the person left, Jiang Yuzhu inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
Speaking of which, Mo Changchuan is the target that Manzi has always wanted to assassinate, and he is much more dangerous than her.
As soon as it got dark, Xie Zhao returned from the camp outside the city.
He walked in exhausted, held Jiang Yuzhu's hand and looked her over: "Madam, are you afraid? I'm back late."
Although his men repeatedly assured him that Jiang Yuzhu was not harmed at all, Xie Zhao was still very worried.
After he arrived at the border town with military supplies, the situation changed again, and the spies in the camp began to show up.
Jiang Yuzhu suppressed her uneasiness and said, "I'm not afraid."
The main reason is that being afraid can't change the fact that she is being made a target. It is too difficult for both her and her second brother.
The so-called great fortune now seems too ironic. Jiang Yuzhu would rather not have it, as she is really not worthy of it.
The room was silent for a moment, and the atmosphere was tense.
Xie Zhao slowly walked to Jiang Yuzhu's side, put his arm around her shoulders, and said softly, "We'll set off before noon tomorrow."
Before returning home, Xie Zhao went to the Protector General's Mansion to discuss matters with Mo Changchuan. Seeing the cloth armor designed by his wife, he had a long-term vision.
As long as it is slightly improved, it can be distributed on a large scale to the soldiers in the camp north of the city.
Jiang Yuzhu raised her eyes and said uncertainly, "Let's stick to the original plan. The barbarians just suffered a setback, so they won't send more people so soon..."
"Tomorrow is the sixth day of the lunar month. Every three, six, and nine days, a tunnel leading to Sishui City opens."
If you miss the sixth day, you have to wait another three days.
There are many tunnels in the border town of Daqi leading to Sishui City, but their stability is questionable.
After careful selection, Xie Zhao finally chose the safest one.
The tunnel is relatively spacious, and the two countries rely on this tunnel to transport goods secretly.
"The exit is a bathhouse in Surabaya City. Even if you change clothes when entering and leaving, no one will be suspicious."
It was extremely cold in Sishui City, and it was inconvenient for the people to wash and burn firewood at home. Similar to the habits of the people in the border towns of Daqi, they built many bathhouses and taverns, which were open day and night.
Not only can it be used for washing and resting, but you can also keep warm inside for just two cents and drink free hot tea.
"Let's stay inside for a few hours and find out the news."
The bathhouse is where many people from Da Qi stay, and it is a mixed crowd. The good thing is that they can speak Da Qi language, so there is no language barrier.
"The tunnel is too small for a carriage to pass through, so I made a cart for my husband."
Under the oil lamp, Xie Zhao spread out the drawing paper and finished it in one go. After the drawing was completed, he began to explain the function to Jiang Yuzhu: "Inside the cart are several fixed boxes with a flip-top design. They can be used to store firewood and food, as well as bedding."
"There's a windproof tent on one side that can be put down for storage, which is quite convenient."
It is cold in the tunnel and water will freeze into ice.
In addition, a dagger for self-defense is essential.
There is a tunnel that goes all the way down, with no chance to go up in the middle, so there are also shady businesses going on in the tunnel.
"Wait a moment……"
The more Jiang Yuzhu listened, the more anxious she became. She hurriedly asked, "Do we need to bring a quilt?"
In other words, it is impossible to reach Sishui City within one day.
"It will take about three days."
After Xie Zhao finished speaking, Jiang Yuzhu shook her body and her vision went dark.
"Why did I hear that the second brother arrived in one day?"
She wanted to change her mind immediately, but she was worried about her second brother Jiang Huaiqing. Jiang Yuzhu regretted that she had spoken too hastily and should not have agreed too early.
Xie Zhao drew a map of Sishui City and explained, "Second brother, we're in the vicinity of Sishui City. It's sparsely populated, and strangers are easily noticed. We've walked a long way and stopped in a busy city, so we have to take a detour."
Walking in a tunnel for three days, covered in dust and dirt, what's the difference between this and exile?
No wonder Xie Zhao chose to go to the bathhouse first. At least he wouldn’t be mistaken for a beggar when he came out.
Jiang Yuzhu tried to remain calm and asked, "Is there a toilet?"
