Chapter 408: Tempered Steel Becomes Soft as a Soft Finger



After finishing her work, she turned back, kissed him quietly, then came out, returned to the front yard and continued her work.

Seeing her face full of gentleness and joy, which was completely different from her imposing look just now, the Bai family members couldn't help but smile.

Wei Bo smiled and said to her, "Master, just now, everyone said that you are as soft as steel."

She didn't react at first, thinking, when did Huo Qijing become so gentle? Even if he was so gentle, you couldn't see it, right?

Then she thought about it again... She was speechless. How could she be so soft as to be tempered like steel? How could she be so tempered like steel?

Yan Shiyue glared at her and said, "I have always been gentle!"

Wei Bo smiled and said, "Yes, the master has always been very gentle!"

Seeing that her personal maid dared to speak to her like that, the Bai family and their friends knew her temper well. She was not the type who liked to torture others.

Bai smiled and said, "Your Highness, and General Huo. Although I rarely see the general, I have heard many people talk about him. He is famous for his ability and coldness. When they are not on duty, they go out to make trouble, but General Huo never goes."

Another person also said: "Not only is the young general famous, but his wife is also famous. Everyone knows that his wife is very generous and always sends gifts. When she tells us that she is sending gifts, everyone gets very excited. She has always sent socks, dried meat, and snacks."

...

...

She pointed to her feet and said, "I am wearing the socks sent by His Highness! Our general got a pair, but he was reluctant to wear them, so he gave them to me."

As a result, everyone dared to talk and joked while working.

The military assistants nearby also heard a few words, and someone couldn't help but say, "This princess is really loyal. The Huo family has nothing left by the time of General Huo, except for this person. It's rare that the princess is so famous now, but she still sticks to the old agreement."

Everyone nodded.

Most of them have experienced wealth and luxury, and can better understand what "being well matched" means. If they were in this position, they might not be able to do it.

When the wine was gone, Yan Shiyue asked everyone to go back and rest.

In fact, she was thinking about something yesterday.

The Dayan army usually trains constantly, and their spears and swords are sharp as snow. But now, the other side is using "dirty" weapons to defeat them. Why can't they use their own method to fight back?

Do you know about anti-wolf spray?

As soon as she thought of it yesterday, she asked Jiahe to send a message through the shadow guard method, asking the capital to send chili peppers over. Then she transferred some people from Yue Workshop nearby.

Boil some chili water, whether it is applied on weapons, or cut some bamboo tubes to make a simple spray gun, they are all powerful weapons to defeat the enemy!

Although Yue Workshop's headquarters is in the capital, it has "authorized agents" and Mengji, and its branches are almost all over the world, so a group of craftsmen quickly rushed over.

Yan Shiyue spent a lot of money, and as people here were already in a panic, it was easy to vacate a large house, and the people in the workshop moved in and started making water guns for her.

When the second batch of hero wine arrived, Yan Shiyue asked Wei Bo to take it and continue making alcohol here, and then put some of the hero wine in the military medical clinic. Anyone who was seriously injured or needed debridement could drink a few sips and start again after the alcohol took effect, which could also relieve the pain a little.

A batch of peppers was quickly delivered from the capital city, eight hundred miles away. At this time, a batch had already been made with the spray gun. Yan Shiyue tried it and immediately sent someone to invite Yan Chengyuan.

Yan Chengyuan didn't come, but Yan Shiwei came.

He didn't look like he was coming back from the battlefield, but he looked a little pale, and it was obvious that he hadn't slept well for a few days. He strode in and asked, "Yuer, is there something wrong?"

Yan Shiyue said: "Brother, I have found a sneak attack weapon, I don't know if it can help you."

She showed him: "Pour chili water in here. Just spray it on the eyes and the opponent will be unable to open his eyes. It will also hurt a lot. If you apply it on weapons, even the smallest wound will be very painful."

Yan Shiwei asked: "This is called chili pepper? Is it poisonous?"

"It's not poisonous. In fact, it tastes pretty good. It's just very strong."

Yan Shiwei opened the lid and took a sniff, and was immediately shocked by the pungent smell and leaned back.

Then he pulled out a knife from his waist, made a small cut on his arm, put a drop of chili water on it, and immediately let out a cry, trying not to shake his hand, and said, "Not bad, not bad! Yue'er..."

He held it in for a long time before he said, "You really are! Alas! Actually, I really want to protect you well..."

"I know!" Yan Shiyue said, "But my father, my elder brother, and my fiancé are all on the battlefield. I really want to help."

Yan Shiwei sighed, patted her head, and wanted to leave with a few test samples.

Yan Shiyue grabbed his sleeve: "I'll go with you to take a look." She looked up and begged him: "Brother, I'm worried about Daddy, I'll go and take a look, I promise not to cause any trouble!"

Yan Shiwei said simply, "Okay."

He went out, mounted his horse, and lifted her in front of it, saying with a smile, "Actually, you can go. Half of the army camp now calls you Empress Fu. If you go, maybe you can calm the soldiers' hearts."

He whipped the whip and the horse galloped out.

Yan Shiyue finally saw Anlan Pass.

It was just as she had imagined, the city was solid and strong. Compared to the hustle and bustle behind, the people coming in and out here seemed to be in a hurry.

Yan Shiwei brought her to the "central military tent", which was actually not a tent but a house. The door was heavily guarded. Yan Shiwei jumped off his horse, threw the whip to the personal soldier beside him, and took her in.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard an old voice saying, "The terrain is flat and the view is unobstructed. This is both a disadvantage for us and a taboo for the big attack..."

The two turned around the screen and saw that the room was simply furnished. Yan Chengyuan was inside, and there was an old man next to him, who should be the Duke of Dai. In addition, there were several generals. There was a battle map spread out on the table, and several people were obviously discussing something.

Yan Shiyue hurried forward to greet him. Seeing Yan Chengyuan's expression, he was indeed in a very bad state, and his voice was hoarse.

Yan Shiwei smiled and said, "Yuer has come up with another good thing." He showed the bamboo tube in his hand to the two of them, "Yuer, tell the Duke about it."

Yan Shiyue stepped forward and explained a few words.

The Duke of Dai immediately ordered two prisoners of war from the Great Xi Kingdom to be brought in for a test.

When the pepper spray splashed into their eyes, the two men rolled on the ground in pain. When it was applied to their weapons, the pain was so severe that they almost convulsed.

Many people nearby came to watch, and soon everyone knew that Empress Fu had come up with another thing called the "Wolf-Killing Gun."

She knew when to stop and didn't stay any longer, so she retreated. Yan Shiwei sent a personal soldier to send her back.

Yan Shiyue asked around and found out that Yan Chengyuan and the others hadn't eaten well in the past two days, let alone slept.

The main reason is that Duke Dai is still strong and has always been a workaholic, and Yan Chengyuan is also a persevering person. If these two people don't speak, which general under them would dare to take the initiative to ask for food and drink?

This can't go on.

We don't know how long this war will last, and none of the personal soldiers know how to take care of us. It's too harmful to our health to just endure it like this.
