"Stop staring at me like that," Mu Run said to Fu Yunchen, clearly annoyed.
Fu Yunchen stared at her pedals with a serious expression. "They seem a little loose. Why don't you ride with me?"
"..." Mu Run spurred the horse slightly, running a little faster, "I can't be bothered with you."
When she was first reborn from Hua Ling's body, she followed him around. Her legs were worn raw back then, but he never even blinked. Now, she has to stop and rest after walking just a few steps... It's really speechless!
Speed is of the essence in war. This leisurely pace doesn't resemble a battle at all; it looks more like a picnic or a day out!
"Zhong Jiu—" Mu Run called out to Zhong Jiu, who was riding ahead, "Have you finished making what I gave you?"
Zhong Jiu turned to look at Fu Yunchen and replied, "He's with the King."
Mu Run frowned and turned to look at Fu Yunchen, "Is the cannon finished?"
Zhong Jiu was an apprentice of a master mechanic, so she drew some prototypes based on her memory, and wrote down the method for making explosives. She didn't expect to be able to make it right away; her main purpose was to give Zhong Jiu an inspiration and an idea.
After all, success is 99 percent perspiration and 1 percent inspiration. She provided the inspiration, and the rest of the perspiration, with time, would eventually lead to success.
Zhong Jiu was shocked when he first got his hands on it, and then became completely engrossed in it.
Judging from his reaction now, it seems like he's starting to see some progress.
Fu Yunchen said, "A powerful weapon for siege!"
Mu Run: "...You finished it?"
"That explosive, but we don't need it right now."
"Why can't we use it?" Mu Run frowned. "Wouldn't it reduce casualties?"
Fu Yunchen smiled but remained silent.
Mu Run ignored him, rode her horse forward, and chatted with Zhong Jiu about mechanical arts.
Despite the immense pressure from behind, Zhong Jiu showed Mu Run the caltrops and crossbows he had brought, which had been coated with anesthetic.
Mu Run was also very interested, especially in the hidden crossbow, which she really liked. Moreover, she had already lost all her internal energy and her combat power had dropped by more than half, so it was essential for her to carry some hidden weapons.
Zhong Jiu taught Mu Run how to use the crossbow and also gave her his own crossbow.
Mu Run was overjoyed, a smile that was rarely seen on her face in recent days.
Zhong Jiu secretly glanced back... and then saw their king, shrouded in a dark aura, as if he were about to destroy someone!
"Um... I need to go ahead and investigate the enemy situation, so I'll take my leave first."
Without waiting for Mu Run to speak, he flicked his whip and rode off.
Mu Run quickly replied, "Be careful!"
This concerned remark nearly made Zhong Jiu fall off his horse; the boss's glare was so sharp it could kill.
Mu Run's mood improved considerably after obtaining the hidden weapon she desired.
Fu Yunchen walked alongside her, saying, "If you want this, just tell me, and I'll have something better."
"Really?" Mu Run glanced at him casually. "I didn't see you see me off."
Fu Yunchen: "..."
That's not because I'm afraid she'll hurt herself!
Following behind Fu Yunchen and Mu Run were Qiao Dongzi and Bai Shalu. The two watched the show with amusement on their faces.
"The boss got his comeuppance again."
"If only I had known then what I know now, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."
"However, ever since my sister-in-law came, the eldest brother has returned to normal."
"It is both a blessing and a great misfortune."
"Um?"
"There is a weakness. But this weakness is more like a switch."
Qiao Dongzi understood what he meant, "Anyone who can influence the boss is either a monster or a human being."
