Shen Hechuan felt only resentment in his heart.
He couldn't help but turn to ask Luo Ziqian.
"What is the Ministry of War doing? Haven't these weapons been finished yet?"
Luo Ziqian was also quite helpless.
"It was almost done, after all, there were a lot of people, it was only a matter of a few months, but Daqi just had to cause trouble at this critical juncture!"
Luo Ziqian looked at the wounded soldiers and told Shen Hechuan to return to his tent, advising him to retreat first.
However, Shen Hechuan firmly disagreed.
"I will not allow the Great Qi to set foot on an inch of my Great Cheng territory, nor will I leave this place."
"Today, I stand here with all my soldiers to fight against the Great Qi, and I will never retreat a single step."
Seeing that Shen Hechuan insisted, Luo Ziqian had no choice but to go and discuss a solution with Gu Erli.
However, he went to Gu Erli's camp but couldn't find him.
I asked several more people, but still couldn't find it.
Finally, he thought he should go and see if Guan Zhixin had woken up yet.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I went over, I saw Gu Erli coming out from inside.
What are you doing here?
Gu Erli paused for a moment before speaking.
"I came here specifically to see if he had woken up after seeing the heavy casualties today, but there was nothing I could do."
This was exactly what Luo Ziqian was thinking, so he immediately asked.
"Are you awake?"
Gu Erli shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Luo Ziqian sighed and was about to lift the tent flap to take a look when he saw Mao Zixiao running over from a distance.
What are you doing?!
He rushed over quickly and stood in front of the two of them.
"My master hasn't woken up yet, what are you doing here?"
Luo Ziqian didn't want to hear that.
"We treated your illnesses, and we take care of your lives. We can do whatever we want, so why should you interfere?"
Who do you think you are?
Mao Zixiao had acted rashly just now, but seeing Luo Ziqian's anger, he quickly softened his tone.
"I'm sorry, General, I was too far away just now and didn't see you clearly. I didn't know it was you, General."
That's why I rushed over here; please forgive me.
As he spoke, he opened the tent and let the two of them in.
"Come, come, come and take a look."
"When I was wiping my master's body this morning, his fingers moved, so he will probably wake up soon."
Upon hearing this, Luo Ziqian snorted coldly and went inside first.
When they got closer, they discovered that Guan Zhixin actually had her eyes open.
Mao Zixiao was overjoyed.
"Master, you're awake! That's wonderful! You're finally awake!"
"I will go and fetch the imperial physician for you right now."
With that, he dashed out like the wind.
A moment later.
After the imperial physician finished taking Guan Zhixin's pulse, he said, "Since you've woken up, it means you're out of danger."
But, your body…
Guan Zhixin suddenly grasped the imperial physician's hand.
"Thank you so much for saving my life."
Seeing Guan Zhixin's expression, the imperial physician understood and simply sighed without saying anything more.
"You're too kind. It's just my duty."
With that, he took a step back, bowed to Shen Hechuan, and then left.
Shen Hechuan then stepped forward.
"Now that you're awake, why don't you tell me what methods you have to fight against the Great Qi?"
Guan Zhixin coughed once before saying:
"Your Majesty, do you have any weapons from the Great Qi Dynasty to see?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Ziqian handed over the weapons from the Great Qi.
There was also an enormous arrow.
Guan Zhixin waved his hand.
"General, please take it."
A moment later, he instructed Mao Zixiao:
Give me paper and pen.
Mao Zixiao was very surprised.
“Master, you’ve only just recovered, and you probably can’t hold a pen yet. Why don’t you say so, and I’ll write it?”
Guan Zhixin shook his head.
"You can't write it."
As he spoke, he picked up a pen and shakily drew a picture.
"Those weapons are nothing to fear."
"The only exception is this oversized crossbow, which Jing Chun improved upon the crossbow I designed years ago."
“She had just started learning this when she showed exceptional talent.”
"This large crossbow appears to be able to fire several long arrows in a row, but it has a fatal weakness."
"That's why Jing Chun treated this blueprint as scrap paper. It must have been picked up by the people of Daqi and made into something."
Upon hearing this, Luo Ziqian immediately asked, "What shortcomings?"
Guan Zhixin handed him the blueprints.
"You'll know once you take a look."
Luo Ziqian immediately took it.
After glancing at it, Shen Hechuan looked up and then at Guan Zhixin.
Guan Zhixin coughed a few more times.
"Your Majesty, I am still not fully recovered and lack strength. After I rest for a few more days, I will surely give you a weapon so that our Great Cheng will be invincible and unconquerable."
Shen Hechuan then hummed in agreement and turned to leave.
After Shen Hechuan and the others turned around.
Guan Zhixin kept staring at their backs, opened her mouth as if to shout something, but ultimately didn't say anything.
Finally, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Mao Zixiao rushed over immediately.
"Master, why are you vomiting blood again? I'll go find the imperial physician for you."
However, Guan Zhixin stopped him.
"return!"
Mao Zixiao had to pull his foot back from the doorway.
"I know my body, I'm fine, just pour me a glass of water."
After Guan Zhixin finished drinking the water, she felt her breathing become easier.
He looked at Mao Zixiao.
“You’ve suffered a lot these past few days with me.”
Upon hearing this, Mao Zixiao immediately burst into tears.
“Master, I’m not tired. I just want you to be well. As long as you’re well, I’ll do anything for you.”
Guan Zhixin patted Mao Zixiao's head.
"You are a good child. I didn't misjudge you back then."
As he spoke, he took a book out of his pocket and handed it to Mao Zixiao.
"This is the culmination of my hard work over the years, and I'm passing it all on to you. You must study it diligently from now on."
"I know you're not very bright, and you don't need to learn everything. Just learning a few things will guarantee you a life free from worries about food and clothing."
But remember, no matter what, never forget our young master, never forget the people of Dacheng, and absolutely never help the people of Daqi, understand?
Mao Zixiao nodded.
"Master, why are you telling me all this?"
“I don’t want to hear it. I just want you to be well. As long as you’re well, I don’t need to learn these things. I can work for you. You know I hate learning these things the most.”
"Silly child, you always have to learn. You can't rely on others for your whole life."
"Don't think that your master was strict with you before. I was afraid that if I was too nice to you, you would become careless about others and fall into their trap."
"After all, you are the apprentice I picked up myself."
"Only I can protect you."
