Chapter 493: Fatal Weakness
Chen Hechuan only felt resentment in his heart.
He couldn't help but turn around and ask Luo Ziqian.
"What's the Ministry of War doing? Isn't this weapon ready yet?"
Luo Ziqian was also helpless.
"It was almost done. After all, there are so many of them, it would only take a few months. But Da Qi had to stir up trouble at this critical moment!"
Luo Ziqian looked at the injured soldiers, asked Shen Hechuan to return to the tent, and advised Shen Hechuan to retreat first.
However, Shen Hechuan firmly disagreed.
"I will not allow Da Qi to set foot on a single inch of Da Cheng's territory, let alone leave this place."
"Today, I will stand here and fight against Da Qi together with all my soldiers. I will not retreat a single step."
Seeing that Chen Hechuan insisted, Luo Ziqian had no choice but to go to Gu Erli to discuss countermeasures.
However, he went to Gu Erli's tent but couldn't find anyone.
I asked a few more people but still couldn't find it.
Finally, I thought of going to see if Guan Zhixin had woken up.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked over, I saw Gu Erli coming out.
"Why are you here?"
Gu Erli was stunned for a moment before speaking.
"I saw the heavy casualties today, so I came to see if he was awake, but there was nothing I could do."
This was exactly what Luo Ziqian thought, so he asked immediately.
"Are you awake?"
Gu Erli shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Luo Ziqian sighed. Just as he was about to lift the lid of the tent to take a look inside, he saw Mao Zixiao running towards him 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 this.
"We treat your illnesses, and your lives belong to us. We can do whatever we want. Do we really need you to control us?"
"Who do you think you are?"
Mao Zixiao was also anxious just now, but now seeing Luo Ziqian was angry, he quickly softened his tone.
"I'm sorry, General, I was too far away just now and didn't see clearly. I didn't know it was you, General.
That’s why I rushed over here. I hope you won’t forgive me.”
As he said that, he opened the tent and let the two of them in.
"Come, come, come and take a look."
"This morning, when I was wiping Master's body, his fingers moved. He must have woken up soon."
When Luo Ziqian heard this, he snorted coldly and walked in first.
But when they got closer, they found that Guan Zhixin had his eyes open.
Mao Zixiao was overjoyed.
"Master, you're awake. That's great. You're finally awake."
"I will go get you a doctor now."
As he said this, he rushed out like the wind.
A moment later.
After the imperial physician examined Guan Zhixin's pulse, he said, "Since he's awake, it means he's fine.
It’s just that your body…”
Guan Zhixin's hand suddenly held the imperial physician's hand.
"Thank you for saving my life."
When the imperial physician saw Guan Zhixin's expression, he understood what he meant. He just sighed and said nothing more.
"You're welcome. This is all my duty."
Having said that, he took a step back, saluted Chen Hechuan, and left.
Only then did Shen Hechuan take a step forward.
"Now that you're awake, why not tell me what methods you have to fight against Da Qi?"
Guan Zhixin coughed and then said:
"Your Majesty, can you please take a look at the weapons of the Great Qi?"
After he finished speaking, Luo Ziqian immediately handed over the weapons of Da Qi.
There is also an oversized arrow among them.
Guan Zhixin waved his hand.
"Just take it, General."
After a moment, he instructed Mao Zixiao:
"Give me a pen and paper."
Mao Zixiao was very surprised.
"Master, you've only just recovered. I'm afraid you can't hold a pen yet. Why don't you just tell me and I'll write."
Guan Zhixin shook his head.
“You can’t write.”
As he spoke, he picked up a pen and tremblingly drew a picture.
"Those weapons are nothing to be afraid of."
"The only difference is this oversized crossbow. It was improved by Jingchun based on the crossbow I designed back then."
"She had just started this at that time, and she showed great talent."
"This large crossbow seems to be able to shoot several long arrows in a row, but it has a fatal weakness."
"That's why Jing Chun treated this blueprint as waste paper. It must have been picked up by someone from Da Qi and made into something."
Upon hearing this, Luo Ziqian immediately asked, "What shortcomings?"
Guan Zhixin handed him the drawings.
"You'll know once you take one look."
Luo Ziqian took it immediately.
After taking a look, Chen Hechuan looked up at Guan Zhixin again.
Guan Zhixin coughed a few more times.
"Your Majesty, I am not fully recovered yet, and I lack strength. Once I have rested for a few more days, I will surely give you a weapon that will make us invincible and unstoppable."
Only then did Chen Hechuan say "hmm" and turned away.
Wait until Chen Hechuan and the others turn around.
Guan Zhixin kept staring at their backs, opened her mouth, and wanted to shout something, but in the end no words came out.
Finally, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Mao Zixiao rushed over quickly.
"Master, why are you vomiting blood again? I'll go find a doctor for you."
However, he was stopped by Guan Zhixin.
"return!"
Mao Zixiao had just reached the door and had to retract his feet.
"I know my body well. I'm fine. Please pour me a glass of water."
After Guan Zhixin finished drinking the water, her breathing felt a little smoother.
He looked at Mao Zixiao.
"You have suffered a lot following me these days."
Mao Zixiao burst into tears immediately after hearing this.
"Master, I'm not tired. I just want you to be well. As long as you are well, Zixiao will do anything for you."
Guan Zhixin touched Mao Zixiao's head.
"You are a good kid. I didn't misjudge you at the beginning."
As he spoke, he took out a book from his arms and handed it to Mao Zixiao.
"This is the hard work I've put into it all these years. I'm giving it to you. You must learn it well in the future."
"I know you're stupid, but you don't have to learn everything. Just learning a few things will ensure you have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life.
But remember, no matter what, never forget our young master, and never forget the people of Dacheng, and never help the people of Daqi, remember?"
Mao Zixiao nodded.
"Master, why are you telling me this?"
"I don't want to listen. I just want you to be fine. As long as you are fine, I don't have to learn these things and I can do things for you. You know, I hate learning this the most."
"Silly child, you always have to learn. You can't rely on others for your whole life."
"Don't think that Master was mean to you in the past. I was afraid that if I treated you too well, you would lose your vigilance towards others and fall prey to their schemes."
"After all, you are my apprentice whom I picked up with my own hands."
"I am the only one who can protect you."
