"You actually... managed to make this?"
By creating a giant crossbow, Da Jiang can gain the upper hand when fighting against foreign enemies.
So he kept revising the blueprints and handing them over to many skilled master craftsmen, but the answer he received was always the same: "No."
Because crossbows are too large, have too many details, and are too sophisticated, they are very difficult to manufacture.
He had already given up on the idea, but unexpectedly, he saw the finished product here in Huayang today!
The crossbow was about the size I had imagined.
It's as long as two of Hua Yang's arms.

Chen'er's breathing became rapid.

"Since you've already thrown it away, I'll just pick it up and try making it myself."
"I didn't expect it to be so difficult."
"However, I secretly obtained these materials from the Imperial Household Department. If Father finds out and intends to scold me, my elder brother must protect me."
"Oh right, I also shot through that willow tree. I cut off the part of the arrow that was sticking out and embedded the rest in the roots. Mother hasn't found out yet. If she does, she'll definitely give me a scolding."
"Brother, you must speak up for me and plead for me then."

"No, there's no need for me to plead for you."
"Your father and mother will never be harsh on you; on the contrary, they will definitely praise Huayang."
"Come on, let's go show Father and Mother what you made! They'll be very happy!"
