Chapter 212 Zhao Lingmeng Returns Late
"Your Highness, what are your plans next?" Lord Fan asked this question because he also wanted to know what his next job would be.
When Zhao Lingmeng heard Master Fan's question, she frowned and thought for a long time, struggling internally. She had originally wanted to research a few interesting gadgets for fun, but now something more pressing was waiting for her, so she had to put that idea aside for the time being.
"Ah! Let's make the heavy crossbow first. Since General Liu mentioned it, there must be a big shortage on the front line."
Fan Yong hadn't left today, not only because he had to ensure the safety of these people, but more importantly, he had to report everything he had discussed today to the emperor in detail. That's why he had also heard the conversation between Zhao Lingmeng and General Liu: "Is the heavy crossbow really that powerful?"
"No one can guarantee it until it's done! But if it can be done, will Master Fan come and see it?"
"Of course, of course. I'll personally escort Your Highness to watch and test the heavy crossbow!" Fan Yong said, looking forward to the day he could actually see the so-called heavy crossbow. He had seen Princess Funing's abilities before, so he had no doubt she couldn't do it.
Zhao Lingmeng also smiled happily. The feeling of being able to do something for a country was so addictive.
In this case, Zhao Lingmeng's plan would have to be changed. She certainly couldn't make a heavy crossbow. She had only seen it once in a museum in her previous life, and she hadn't looked at it in detail. She knew a lot about the principles, so she would definitely have to carefully check and consider it.
In this way, the blueprint cannot be completed in a short time, and she also wants to make several small models by herself with wood, which is not convenient to do in the manor.
Many of the people in this dowry village were originally purchased by her mother, without any special screening. Zhao Lingmeng has always been cautious, so she won't make any big moves here, not even drawing a blueprint. If someone accidentally suspects something, it will be a big deal.
After thinking all this through, Zhao Lingmeng felt that she should tell Lord Fan. Maybe he could go and see the wonders of making salt from seawater and help her find something!
"Master Fan, I'm planning to return to Yuanjing in a few days. I won't be staying at the manor until the heavy crossbow blueprints are out. So, go ahead and do whatever you need to do! I'm in Yuanjing, and my safety is guaranteed. The only thing missing from the servants at the Princess's mansion is that everyone knows how to fight."
After hearing what Zhao Lingmeng said, Lord Fan nodded in agreement. He also felt that the Princess's Mansion in Yuanjing was safer. If some things could not be achieved in the mansion, he would probably have persuaded Funing to stay in Yuanjing if nothing was wrong.
"Okay, then I'm going to sell this farm." This is also to avoid attracting attention and change hands a few more times.
Otherwise, when people investigate Princess Funing in the future, they will find that wherever her farm is surrounded by the emperor's property, which is too strange.
The emperor would transfer the farm to some Ming guards, then sell it openly, and then use the money to buy the emperor a farm of similar size and value.
After Fan Yong said this, Chunshui and the other three came back from their meal, and Fan Yong and Zhao Lingmeng stopped talking.
Zhao Lingmeng stood up and patted the non-existent dust on her clothes. "Let's go! Let's go back."
Princess Fan Yongfu Ning was about to go back, and she immediately clapped her hands. Then a man appeared out of thin air, holding two baskets in his hands.
Zhao Lingmeng looked over curiously and found that the basket contained some wild fruits and three snow-white rabbits.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at the two baskets in confusion, "What is this?"
Chunshui knew that this was for His Highness, so he immediately stepped forward and picked it up.
Seeing that his former subordinates were so sensible, Fan Yong gave them a satisfactory score in his heart.
But he still explained: "You go out to play for a whole day and come back after dark, and you don't bring any gifts for your three little ones at home!"
Zhao Lingmeng was stunned for a moment when she heard Fan Yong say this, then she bowed to him and said, "Thank you very much! Goodbye!"
After Zhao Lingmeng finished speaking, he took his people away. This time he really left without even looking back.
Fan Yong and the others bowed from behind, "Farewell, Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
By the time Yun Yao and her group were about to reach the gate of the manor, it was already dark.
"Your Highness, the three young masters are waiting at the gate of the manor!" Chunshui Wuhui was a martial artist, and she could see far away. As soon as she saw the three young masters hanging around at the gate of the manor, she immediately reported to His Highness.
"Really? Where is it?" Zhao Lingmeng looked towards the entrance of the manor in surprise, but unfortunately it was still some distance away and it was getting dark. Zhao Lingmeng looked hard for a long time but couldn't see clearly.
Zhao Lingmeng tried to see more clearly, but the result didn't change. She could only helplessly say, "Then let's go quickly!"
Chunshui and Chunmu each supported one side of Zhao Lingmeng. After hearing Zhao Lingmeng's instructions, they could only speed up their pace, and Dongyuan followed closely behind, always observing the movements around them.
After all, it was the pace of four adults, and they arrived at the entrance of the village in no time.
"Mom..." The youngest Zhao Houyang was the first to see people. He exclaimed and immediately jumped up from the ground and ran straight to Zhao Lingmeng.
When Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming heard what their brother said, they immediately looked around. Before Zhao Houming finished asking, "Mom, where is she...", they both saw their younger brother Zhao Houyang had already rushed out.
The two of them didn't care about anything else and just ran out. In short, they just ran first and talked later.
The distance was not far to begin with, and Zhao Houyang was a fast runner. He was also trying to start early, so naturally, he hugged Zhao Lingmeng's legs first.
"Mom, you're finally back. I thought you were lost!"
As soon as Zhao Houyang finished speaking, brothers Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming also came up.
"Mom, you are finally back." Zhao Houming also said this.
Seeing this, Zhao Houjing fully agreed with his two younger brothers: "You two younger brothers are right."
Zhao Lingmeng knew her three children must be worried about her because she came home so late. She hugged each of them and promised, "Mom, try not to come home so late in the future, okay?"
After hearing what their mother said, the three brothers automatically blocked out the word "try their best". They were very happy to hear it.
Chunshui and Chunmu now let go of Zhao Lingmeng's hands and let the three young masters walk around His Highness, and the three of them followed behind.
The atmosphere was very good for a while, and they could be said to have returned from walking on the moon.
"Mom, look, the moon in the sky is so round!" Zhao Houyang seemed to be seeing something strange. Perhaps he felt very happy walking slowly with his mother under the moon, and he was willing to share everything he saw.
