Chapter 316 Zhao Lingmeng meets and chats with her second brother
Zhao Ling dreamed that the items had been sold, and immediately began to dismantle the bridge after crossing the river. "As long as Lord Wen is satisfied, you and General Liu can go back to work! Leave Lord Zhao Anwei here to chat with me!"
"Your Highness, we shall take our leave!" Marquis Wenyuan and General Liu also knew that there was still a lot of things waiting for them. Without saying anything more, they immediately bowed and left.
Before leaving, Marquis Wenyuan patted Zhao Anwei on the shoulder. Who was the one who shed tears of envy for Old Marquis Zhao? Marquis Wenyuan said it wasn't him. Compared to his children, other people's children were simply beaten.
When Lord Jin saw that Marquis Wenyuan and others had left, he tactfully found an excuse and went off to get busy. Only Zhao Lingmeng, Zhao Anwei and others were left at the scene.
Zhao Anwei saw that everyone had left, and his true colors were immediately exposed. He smiled innocently and rubbed his hands, "Little sister, is it really you?"
Zhao Lingmeng rolled her eyes in disgust and looked at Zhao Anwei speechlessly, "Second brother, could you please stop smiling so obscenely?"
"I'm so happy! You kept the news secret so well! No wonder you were promoted so quickly!" Zhao Anwei felt more and more proud as he spoke. His younger sister could manage an entire military battalion on her own. What a high position that was.
If Zhao Lingmeng knew what her silly second brother was thinking, she would just want to say, "Second brother, you really think too much. This military equipment camp is not her responsibility. She is just providing the technology."
Zhao Lingmeng looked at her second brother, who had a good relationship with the original owner, and she had a very good impression of him. As someone who wouldn't easily bother her, Zhao Lingmeng's impression of him was even better. "Second brother, if you have any troubles in the future, you can come to me! But if I can't help, there's nothing I can do."
"Don't worry, I'll rely on my younger sister to protect me from now on." Although Zhao Anwei said this jokingly, he didn't mean to cause trouble for his younger sister. His younger sister must have suffered a lot to climb to this position.
Zhao Lingmeng was really worried about her second brother, but she couldn't stop him from pursuing his future. "Second brother, you have to be careful on the battlefield this time. You can't take off your soft armor even when sleeping, understand?"
Seeing Zhao Lingmeng's worried look, Zhao Anwei reached out and touched her head like he did when they were little. "Don't worry! Second brother still wants to come back and live under the protection of the eldest princess! Don't get too tired here. You have to bring someone with you wherever you go, okay?"
Zhao Lingmeng also nodded obediently, "Don't worry, second brother, I will be fine in Yuanjing. Don't worry about home, I will help you look after it."
"Okay, thank you very much, little sister. I will bring you a gift when my second brother comes back." Zhao Anwei still subconsciously treated Zhao Lingmeng as a child.
The battlefield is blind, and no one can guarantee that they can come back alive. Zhao Lingmeng thought of this and suddenly felt his eyes redden. "As a brother, you must keep your word!"
Seeing this, Zhao Anwei could only coax him softly, "Okay, second brother, try to do what you say. Why are you still acting like a child? You are the eldest princess now, so you can't cry anymore."
Zhao Lingmeng would never admit such a thing! "Who is crying? It's just that the wind and sand here are too strong."
"Whatever our Princess says is right." Zhao Anwei could only smile and joke.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at her second brother's happy expression, but she still remembered her identity and couldn't help but remind him, "Oh, second brother, you can't tell anyone about my affairs! Not my father, not my eldest brother, and not my second sister-in-law either."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Zhao Lingmeng nodded happily, "Then go get busy, second brother! I'm also going to be busy here. Take care!"
While Zhao Lingmeng was talking to Zhao Anwei, Lord Jin had already looked over here several times.
Zhao Anwei was a soldier on the march, so of course he noticed Lord Jin's gaze. He was about to lead his troops to war, so he was indeed very busy. "Little sister, when second brother comes back, I'll have tea with you. Take care of yourself too."
Zhao Anwei bowed to Zhao Lingmeng and was about to turn around and leave. Zhao Lingmeng saw this and immediately stuffed the box of dried meat that Qiuyue had made for her into Zhao Anwei's hands.
Zhao Anwei did not refuse. He turned around and walked away with the lunch box.
Zhao Lingmeng stood there, watching Zhao Anwei's back as he walked away until he was out of sight. Only then did Zhao Lingmeng turn around firmly and go to Lord Jin.
By the time Zhao Anwei arrived at the armory, Marquis Wenyuan and General Liu hadn't finished their selections yet. Looking at the heavy crossbows and their assembly instructions, he suddenly felt overwhelmed.
Marquis Wenyuan noticed Zhao Anwei when he came in. Seeing him frown, he asked curiously, "General Zhao, what's wrong?"
"My Lord, do you know anyone in the army who can install this?" Zhao Anwei said as he handed over the blueprint.
Wenyuan Hou took it and looked at it, then frowned. When he led the army, there was no such weapon.
"I haven't led troops for many years, so I don't know much about it." Marquis Wenyuan could only look at General Liu again.
General Liu thought about it and realized that maybe no one would be able to use this, so he compromised and said, "I'll send someone to the barracks to teach you! But he won't be on the battlefield. You can learn on the way. By the time you reach the border, you should be almost there. He'll come back then."
After hearing General Liu's idea, Wenyuan Hou frowned even more. Learning while walking was a good idea, but neither he nor Zhao Anwei knew how to do it, which was somewhat of a hidden danger.
Wen Yuanhou looked up at the sky outside and said, "General Liu, is this too much trouble? If not, please find a place to teach us first! Of course, you will still have to send an experienced person to accompany us when the time comes."
General Liu didn't refuse when he heard Marquis Wenyuan's words. Even if the commander didn't know how to use it, he still had to understand its principles and power, otherwise it would affect his tactical command.
"Then let's go to a place that specializes in testing heavy crossbows."
After General Liu finished speaking, he immediately made a gesture to his confidants. Then, Wenyuan Hou and Zhao Anwei immediately saw a group of people rushing in from outside, and then they began to disassemble the heavy crossbow. In just a short while, such a large heavy crossbow was disassembled into many parts and transported away.
Wen Yuanhou and Zhao Anwei were stunned by the speed of these people, "General Liu..."
General Liu thought that Marquis Wenyuan was worried about the heavy crossbow being damaged. "Don't worry, my Lord. We can install these once we get to the destination. Otherwise, it will be difficult to move such a large thing."
Marquis Wenyuan stared at General Liu with a half-smile, "Can you give me a team like this when the time comes?"
General Liu cursed Wenyuan Hou in his heart for wanting everything he saw, but he said with a sincere face:
"You're joking, my Lord. These people specialize in assembling weapons. If I give you so many people, there won't be enough weapons to assemble, which will affect your frontline supplies. This isn't difficult. You can just organize people in the army to learn it."
