Chapter 60: Do you miss me?
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard a familiar groan from the man inside, which made her imagine the scene in her mind, and she understood what the man inside was doing.
"Pervert!" These two simple words summarized the indecent behavior of the bastard at that moment.
Mu Xingci walked out refreshed, and the dark vision prevented him from seeing the funny look the woman gave him.
The next morning, Yun Wansheng opened her eyes and found that one side of the room was empty. The man had left at some point.
"Auntie Wang!" Yun Wansheng called out.
When the door opened, it wasn't Wang Ma who walked in, but a delicate maid: "Miss Yun, are you awake?"
"Did the Marquis send you here?" As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Yun Wansheng realized that she had asked a nonsense question.
"Yes, my name is Xiaoqing. Miss Yun, if you have anything to do in the future, just let me know."
"I'll have to trouble you later."
"Miss Yun, you are too polite. I will help you wash up first." Xiao Qing said as she brought in the copper basin from the outer room. After everything was ready, she helped Yun Wansheng wash her face and brush her teeth.
After she had washed and dressed up, he took care of her meals without showing any dissatisfaction.
She recuperated for four or five days, during which time no one came to disturb her. Only at night did Mu Xingci come to her room with a chill.
Her injuries had healed a lot, so that day she got out of bed and walked slowly. She didn't feel as much pain, but it was still a little difficult for her to walk, making her limp.
After dinner, when she was walking around the house for exercise, she saw the ancient marquis walking in wearing a dark and gorgeous robe.
"Can you get out of bed now?" Mu Xingci was surprised to see her being supported by a maid to walk around.
"Yeah! My legs don't hurt as much anymore. Walking more will help with recovery." Yun Wansheng stopped and looked at him.
"Indeed, but don't leave for too long. Recovery cannot be rushed." Mu Xingci stepped forward to support her and signaled the maid to leave.
With the man's support, Yun Wansheng walked back and forth for a while, and then Mu Xingci let her get on the bed.
"Why did you come so early today?" Yun Wansheng asked.
"Some official business needs to be dealt with early. You can go to sleep first. I will be busy for a while." Mu Xingci said gently.
"Is it about the military camp?"
"Um!"
Seeing that he had no intention of saying more, Yun Wansheng stopped asking: "Then go and do your work! I'll take a nap."
"Okay!" He did have something to deal with as soon as possible. After watching the woman close her eyes, he went behind the desk.
After preparing the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, he started to paint on them, but he would throw away the paper after painting for a while. He threw away the paper too often and disturbed Yun Wansheng's rest.
Looking at the man's serious expression, Yun Wansheng didn't know what he was drawing so seriously?
For two consecutive days, Mu Xingci came to the villa at night, and then lay on the table to continue painting. He had not produced any results for several days, which made him look anxious.
That evening, he came early again, and without saying a word, he went back to work at the table.
Yun Wansheng didn't ask about his affairs and lay down on the bed to sleep. When she was about to fall asleep, she was awakened by the sound of someone slapping the table.
I turned sideways to look at the man, and saw that his face was extremely gloomy under the light, as if he had encountered some problem that he couldn't solve for the time being.
Out of curiosity, Yun Wansheng got up from the bed, picked up a cloak and put it on, then limped behind the man.
The man, who was concentrating on looking at the blueprints, didn't notice her approach and was still frowning and thinking hard.
Yun Wansheng leaned over and saw a drawing of what looked like a weapon on the paper. She stared at it in silence for a moment before asking, "My Lord, are you drawing a crossbow?"
Her sudden voice startled Mu Xingci, causing him to turn around and look at her: "Bed crossbow?"
"Isn't it? Then I must have seen it wrong." Yun Wansheng smiled awkwardly.
"You're not mistaken, this is a bed crossbow. Why do you call it a bed crossbow?" Mu Xingci said with a smile.
"A few years ago, when the Eastern Qiang people invaded, I saw a general passing by on the street pulling a few of these things. At that time, I thought it looked like a bed, so I just called it a bed crossbow." Yun Wansheng said with a faint smile with a weak look in his eyes.
"I see." Mu Xingci didn't doubt it much, because they had indeed fought a tough battle with the Dongqiang Kingdom a few years ago.
"My Lord, why are you drawing this now? Aren't the ones in the barracks of the army usable?"
"No, I want to improve its lethality and range. The borders of the Eastern Qiang Kingdom are mostly plains. If we want to capture them, we must first produce a batch of highly lethal weapons.
The Eastern Qiang Kingdom is eyeing the unification of the Three Kingdoms, and our Shun Shang Kingdom also wants to annex all of its territory. However, if the two armies confront each other, whoever has weapons with greater lethality will have the advantage of victory.
I feel that the previous bed crossbow is not powerful enough, and I want to study the bed crossbow with a longer range and more deterrent effect.
But after thinking about it for several days, I still feel unsatisfied. The range is still several hundred steps away, only a hundred steps more than before. This is not what I want." Mu Xingci was worried for several days, and this made him want to find someone to talk to about his worries.
"My Lord, don't be anxious. Everything depends on human effort. I think you will figure it out soon." Yun Wansheng comforted him and looked at the blueprint.
"My Lord, I think that in order to make something well, all aspects must be adapted well. Just like the guzheng and pipa instruments, if a string or a piece of wood is not used correctly, it will affect the entire musical feeling. I think this bed crossbow is no exception." Yun Wansheng said seemingly naively.
"What you said makes sense. Let me think about it again." Mu Xingci's brows relaxed a little.
"If you really can't think of anything tonight, then give your brain a rest. Maybe if you rest up early, you'll have an idea the moment you open your eyes tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xingci paused looking at the drawing, then turned his head to look at the woman with a rosy face.
"Do you miss me?" The man's eyes were evil and his voice was a little bewitching.
His evil eyes and seductive tone made Yun Wansheng's heart skip a beat and her face flushed. She swears to God, she had never thought of it that way before. Why did this bastard make it seem as if she was inviting him to bed?
"Who misses you? Don't be so self-righteous. Since you don't feel tired, just continue to be busy." After saying this in a panic, she was about to go back to bed.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, someone grabbed her arm and then pulled her into the man's arms. This made her even more panicked and she tried to struggle down.
"Do you want me to play a robbery with you?" Mu Xingci held the woman's waist tightly with one hand and clasped the back of her head with the other hand, making her look at him.
Yun Wansheng was successfully frozen in place by his words: "Who is acting with you?" She hadn't slept with this man for several days, which made her a little embarrassed.
