"Oh, don't think about it anymore. Anyway, my cousin is back in the palace now, so no one will bully her anymore. We follow the princess, so no one will bully us either."
Qiuyue's eyes were sparkling as she looked at Zhang You sincerely.
Zhang You met her gaze and suddenly realized she had completely left that place. Just like Qiao Nai, it was time for her to start a new life.
Those who don't cherish her are not truly important to her. Those who cherish her are always there, so she doesn't have to feel lost because of them, because she already has them.
She smiled softly and replied, "I know, with the princess here, those who bullied us are long gone."
Just like when Qiao Si killed Qiao Da's concubine with a dagger, Zhang You didn't know why she began to have an inexplicable trust in Qiao Si: Qiao Si would always protect them.
Seeing that she had recovered as usual, Qiuyue pulled her back to Chunhua and the others to join in their conversation.
"I don't think so. The dagger is still too big to carry around."
"Why can't you just carry the dagger with you? It's only this long, you can just put it at your waist."
"No, that's too obvious."
Chunhua and Dongmei started talking about daggers at some point.
"What were you talking about? Why are you talking about daggers?"
Qiuyue pulled Zhang You closer and spoke out of curiosity.
Dongmei turned around and saw them coming, and hurriedly pulled them together to discuss.
"You came just in time. Chunhua and I were discussing whether we should bring some personal protective equipment for our trip with the princess tomorrow. I suggested a dagger, but Chunhua thinks it's not a good idea. What do you think?"
Zhang You looked at Chunhua and then at Dongmei.
How could the two of them still be discussing weapons together? Chunhua didn't look like someone who could take action.
"What brings you up to this?"
"It's because this is my first time traveling far away, and I'm feeling uneasy. If I had something to protect myself with, wouldn't that make me feel more at ease?"
Zhang You looked at Dongmei lying without thinking and tried not to laugh.
Ninth sister?
Do you want to listen to what you're saying? With your skills, do you really need to carry a dagger?
Do you secret guards still need to protect yourself?
It's the other party who should be defending himself, right?
Dongmei met Zhang You's gaze and gave her a look that said, "You understand."
Zhang You helped her and continued speaking along with what she was saying.
"Chunhua, what kind of weapon do you want?"
"It's the kind that's very light and inconspicuous. It's impossible for others to see it at a glance, right?"
"Then why don't you hide the dagger on your body? That way no one can find it?"
Dongmei still has a "special liking" for her dagger.
Qiuyue thought seriously for a moment, "What you want, isn't it a hidden weapon?"
Chunhua's eyes lit up, "Yes! Hidden weapons are allowed!"
Dongmei disagreed. "You don't know martial arts, so how could you use a hidden weapon even if I gave you one? Gold coin darts, plum blossom needles, and the like all require internal energy to use. How can you use them if you haven't practiced?"
"I don't want the kind of throwing thing, I still need to practice that. I want the kind that's unexpected and can be used at any time. Do you understand me?"
Zhang You recalled what he had seen in TV dramas. In addition to this kind, there were also crossbows and hidden swords that were launched by mechanisms and did not require internal force.
"What if it's a crossbow or something like that?"
Dongmei was shocked by her words.
"Hush! Don't say that. Crossbows are used by soldiers in the army. We can't just make them casually."
Zhang You lowered his voice and asked curiously, "Is it not possible to wear those hidden arrows on your hands? Is this also for military use?"
Dongmei was confused by what she said, "What hidden blade? A small one? Can it kill people?"
"No, it's the kind that looks like a wristband, but has a mechanism. When you wear it on your hand, if you press the mechanism when you encounter danger, it will fire silver needles?"
Dongmei was shocked by her words.
It's amazing that he has such ingenuity to come up with such an ingenious hidden weapon.
"How did you know there was such a hidden weapon?"
Zhang You also didn't expect that they had never heard of it. How could she, a girl from the village, have seen these things?
She was a little scared for a moment and let the secret slip. Wouldn't her identity be suspected?
Just as she was thinking of an excuse, Qiuyue spoke.
"Huh? I seem to have heard a master say that this thing you mentioned is a very powerful hidden weapon, but it is very difficult to make."
When Dongmei heard that Qiuyue had also heard of this kind of hidden weapon, she put aside her doubts for a moment. She thought that this was a hidden weapon that Xia He had thought up, so she had to investigate Xia He's identity carefully.
Not only can she make rouge, but she can also think of such a hidden weapon, which is not simple.
Zhang You saw Dongmei's suspicion and said, "A storyteller came to our village before. He mentioned it in his story. He said it was light and flexible, and it could kill people invisibly with just a stretch of its hand!
I thought it was amazing when I heard it. I thought only people with great martial arts skills had such treasures. "
Dongmei listened to what Zhang You said and Qiuyue's words, and quickly put aside her doubts about Zhang You.
She is now thinking about the feasibility of this hidden weapon.
If it could really be manufactured, then the princess and the others would also have a way to protect themselves...
"How can it be as simple as you think? If you want to make something like this exquisite and compact, it has to be extremely meticulously crafted, with all the mechanisms and layouts involved. That's not something that can be easily created. Otherwise, how could there be so few of these things in the martial arts world?"
Qiuyue took over Zhang You's words.
"Alas. I just thought this thing was great. It would be really convenient if I had it." Chunhua sighed disappointedly and continued, "Isn't there a hidden weapon that is as easy to carry as a hairpin? It's a pity that my hairpin is too blunt and can't even protect myself."
Qiuyue listened to her words and fell into deep thought.
hairpin?
It doesn’t seem impossible.
There is also a small hairpin sword in the martial arts world. It is usually inserted in the hair and pulled out for use when in danger.
And this thing is very easy to make...
"A hairpin? It seems like it could be used. I heard there's a hairpin sword with a small scabbard. When it's closed, it's a hairpin, and when it's pulled out, it becomes a small dagger."
Chunhua's eyes lit up again after hearing this.
"Can this be done?"
"This isn't difficult. It's just... we're leaving tomorrow, so there's no time to do it, right?"
Qiuyue shrugged helplessly.
Chunhua was very interested, she could almost imagine what the hairpin looked like.
"Then can you do it? I can wait. What you said is exactly what I want!"
Zhang You looked at the somewhat excited Chunhua and felt it was a bit magical.
Chunhua, who seems to have no interest in anything on weekdays, is actually interested in this kind of hidden weapon?
I thought she was the kind of quiet woman who liked romance, why does she feel different now?
Qiuyue saw Chunhua's obsession and agreed.
"Okay, okay, I'll fight you when I'm free. But we're leaving tomorrow, so we should bring weapons for self-defense, right?"
"If you ask me, it has to be a dagger. What else can we bring?"
Dongmei still couldn't forget her dagger.
