Ma'am help, the general is in trouble again

Chapter 271 Different Strengths and Weaknesses ([-])

欻——

A rusty iron sword was pressed against Zuo Shangfang's neck. Looking along the sword's blade, he met a pair of eyes as cold as glass.

"Do you believe that if I kill you now, I can still walk out of here unscathed?"

Nan Gui's eyes widened, and he was forced to raise his neck. He felt the cold murderous intent coming from his skin. His hands and feet felt numb, and he tremblingly said: "I, I am a minister of the imperial court, you, you don't dare... …”

Zheng Quchi bared two devil-like fangs at him: "Whose wife do you think I am? What am I afraid of?"

whose wife?

Isn't she the wife of Yu Wensheng, the only general in the Ye Kingdom, the person who was domineering in the court and once had all the power... Nan Gui suddenly thought of Yu Wensheng, and felt a sense of terror in her heart, even if Rumors spread that the man was dead, but his lingering power could still frighten the timid.

Nan Gui's face turned blue and white, and she wanted to call someone, but she was worried that she would be angered, and she would kill and silence her without stopping.

In the end, he had to succumb to her threats and immediately begged for mercy: "Yes, I'm sorry, Madam General, it was me who was talking nonsense. Please spare my life."

Beitang Mu next to him was overjoyed, but he quickly covered it up. He pretended to be anxious and said: "General's wife, please don't be impulsive. Although Zuo Shangfang has neglected his duties and failed to handle important tasks well, But you can't use lynching, please spare his life."

When Zheng Quchi heard him yelling so loudly, he could easily call the guards outside the warehouse over, and he glanced at him: "Shut up."

Beitang Mu immediately fell silent and responded with an apology and helplessness to Nan Gui.

Nan Gui also realized at this time that the bride Yu Wensheng married was not a normal woman. She might have similar cruel temperament to his husband, who would kill people whenever they disagreed. For couples.

Naturally, he didn't want to die, so he could only recognize the current situation and let out a "pop" before sliding to his knees on the ground.

"Madam General, it was Nan Gui who had the blind eye and failed to recognize Mount Tai. I offended you. I was wrong about this, and I will apologize to you."

In Zheng Quchi's life, this is the first time he has seen the so-called villain who has no integrity and abandons the basics to pursue the weak.

"Nan Gui, are you afraid that His Royal Highness will find out about your dereliction of duty?" She patted his shoulder with her rusty iron sword.

His face froze, he squeaked, and remained silent for a long while.

He didn't know how to answer this. If he answered yes, he would be admitting his "crime." But if he answered no, he would be lying to the general's wife, and he would be a tough talker.

"Nan Gui, if you report your previous intention to offend me to His Highness, your crime will be serious. Maybe not only you, but also your family will be implicated." Zheng Quchi said slowly.

Nan Gui was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat and didn't know what to do: "General's wife, I did not mean to hold such a low position..."

Zheng Quchi didn't want to listen to his sophistry, so she interrupted him: "However, I can give you a chance. I want you to sort out a batch of Ye Kingdom's current troops in the warehouse before the Six Kingdoms test their troops. The most sophisticated weapons, no matter how well they are polished and maintained for me, can never be inferior, and they will be given to me when I need them, do you understand?"

Upon hearing this condition, Nan Gui was stunned for a moment and stammered: "Husband, madam, this is not because I refuse to agree, but there is no holy order, and I dare not move the weapons reserves in the warehouse privately. If this matter is If found out, the crime is the same as treason."

"Don't worry, I will follow the legal and compliant way to approve the weapons. You just need to prepare them according to my requirements."

Hearing what she said, Nan Gui nodded immediately: "Okay, okay, I will definitely leave this matter to the general's wife."

Zheng Quchi withdrew his sword. He was worried that the queen would interfere with it, so he said meaningfully: "Nan Gui, you'd better open your eyes and look outside. The wind direction has changed. Don't be so ignorant that you can't see the situation clearly and fight with the thieves." Together."

Nan Gui was shocked, and his lowered body trembled slightly. After a long time, he said: "This is a humble position, please bear this in mind."

When Zheng Quchi saw that the beating was almost complete, she added: "In addition, I need you to create a batch of customized guns within three days. This cannot be slacked off. You must do your best to do it for me."

"Gun?" Nan Gui and Beitang Mu were stunned.

Beitang Mu thought of the Nanhongguo spear she mentioned before, and his heart tightened. Wouldn't it be very difficult to make the spear she wanted to make? If it really wanted to meet the standards of Nanhongguo, three days would be a long time. not enough.

"Yes, gun." Zheng Quchi nodded.

Beitang Mu was a little worried and asked first: "What kind of gun is it?"

Zheng Quchi said: "Javelin."

Nan Gui and Beitang Mu looked at each other. It was obvious that neither of them had heard of this kind of "javelin", and then shook their heads: "We have not heard of this gun. How about describing it to the general and his wife, and then we can Designed according to your requirements, but three days is too difficult..."

Zheng Quchi glanced at them: "You don't have to worry. I have already designed the javelin. You only need to be responsible for mass production. You can produce as much as you can, as long as the quantity is large."

"Here, we should try our best..." Nan Gui nodded and bowed.

She took out the design draft from her messenger bag: "This is the manuscript diagram of the javelin. I ask you to create it according to the standards of the sample I drew without any compromise."

Nan Gui stood up from the ground, took it with both hands and took a look. Beitang Mu also came over to take a look. He found that this "javelin" was not as complicated and difficult to make as he thought.

This "javelin" is not the current long spear, although it also takes up the word "gun". It is a type of spear that is thick in the middle and thin at both ends. They have never seen this style of "gun" before.

According to the details of the design manuscript, the javelin includes a javelin head and a gun shaft. The head is long and drop-shaped, very slender and sharp. They are all set on the gun body. The material of the gun body is also marked. It is made of hardwood or bamboo poles. Yes, these materials are also simple and easy to find.

Generally speaking, this so-called "javelin" is made according to the dimensions marked above, without any decoration or complicated craftsmanship. It can be produced in three days if it is modified according to the ready-made equipment currently available in their weapons inspection. Big batch of goods.

Nan Gui couldn't help but asked strangely: "Madam, who drew this? The design is ingenious, very simple and beautiful, and it makes people's eyes shine. It's just that this design is weird and unusual, like the throwing guns we used before, but it's different. , so slender and sharp, will this design be more useful than other guns?"

When something that has been eliminated is repurposed and reused, is this considered progress or backwardness?

"will not."

Zheng Quchi answered directly.

Nan Gui and Beitang Mu: "..." Then why rush to make such a useless thing?
"Because it's low-cost, easy to use, and has intensive firepower. In short, I have great use for this thing. You don't have to care about its purpose. You just need to do what I say." Zheng Quchi was too lazy to explain too much to them.

Seeing that the general's wife was getting impatient and worried that if she continued to ask questions, she would touch military secrets, Nan Gui quickly changed her words and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

Zheng Quchi grabbed Nan Gui, who was about to run away, with one palm. When he turned around in confusion, she smiled kindly at him and said, "I am worried that you don't have enough manpower, so I will send a Xuanjia army to support you."

support?Do you dare to say that this is not supervision in disguise?

"No, that's not necessary." Nan Gui made a desperate gesture.

As soon as she finished speaking, four figures suddenly landed on the ground. They surrounded Zheng Quchi like dangerous and powerful beasts, with a fierce momentum.

Nan Gui was startled and backed away repeatedly. Even Beitang Mu was shocked.

"He, they are..."

"My people." Zheng Quchi raised his eyebrows.

Do you really think she is stupid, going to the meeting alone?

The cold sweat that Nan Gui had just stopped started to break out again, and she was terrified.

How brave was he just now? He actually dared to confront the general's wife who had the Four Elephant Army in her hands. He also wanted to call someone to arrest her and threatened her with such brazen words...

No wonder she would say that even if she were killed, she would be able to escape unscathed. It was never His Highness the Crown Prince's power that the Daoqingren family relied on. She herself was the most powerful person in the Ye Kingdom.

On the contrary, they, the arrogant people, couldn't see clearly how much they weighed, so they were almost so bold that they bumped into the noble man.

"Why don't you need it?" Zheng Quchi asked as if he didn't understand.

Nan Gui's scalp exploded, and he didn't even dare to fart anymore: "No, no, Nan Gui thanks the general's wife for being considerate, but Nan Gui would be disrespectful."

Seeing that Zuo Shangfang, who had always been a cunning and shameless villain, was now being treated submissively by the general's wife, Beitang Mu didn't know for a moment whether he should be disappointed that his plan to eliminate the traitor had failed, or whether he should be lamenting that Nan Gui, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, was also Today.

But in the future, he will probably have to make careful decisions if he wants to line his own pockets or act against his will.

When Zheng Quchi left, Beitang Mu came to see him off.

She knew he had something to say to her.

After leaving the gate of the Ordnance Supervision, they walked to the corner. Beitang Mu gritted his teeth, lifted up his skirt, and knelt in front of Zheng Quchi: "General's wife..."

"Say it." Zheng Quchi looked down at him.

He lowered his head and clenched his fists: "The general's wife is so smart, she must have seen through the thoughts of her humble position."

"You are also very smart. You can use his strength to gain strength. What grudge do you have against him?" she mocked.

"No, there is no personal grudge. If there is, it is just a public grudge. I think the general's wife has also seen that Zuo Shangfang, who is not qualified to be the ordnance supervisor, is not qualified to be Nan Gui. It is just because of his good family background that he has sought this position. Over the years, Since then, he has received a salary from the court, but he has never done anything serious. In order to embezzle part of the annual allocation, he has done many dirty things. Everyone in the Ordnance Supervision knows about this."

After hearing this, Zheng Quchi realized that Beitang Mu was planning to use her hand to rectify the now chaotic weapons supervisor.

Although this man's mind was impure, his starting point was justice, and Zheng Quchi didn't intend to blame him anymore.

Reaching out to pull the person up, Zheng Quchi said: "Beitang Mu, I will let His Highness find out these things one by one. If what you said is true, then it will not be long before he is in Nangui's current position, but not now. ...The Six Nations Military Trial is coming soon. The Ordnance Supervisor must operate normally. You can monitor him well for me. If there is any trouble, report it to me immediately. As long as you handle this matter well, then you can use me. This matter has been revealed."

Beitang Mu was overjoyed: "Thank you, Madam General. I will monitor Nan Gui's next moves for Madam General and will never let him do anything bad."

"Beitang Mu, do you know if there is any private contact between Nan Gui and the Queen?"

"This... humble position is not clear, but I heard that Nan Gui was recommended by an important minister in the court, Zuo Shangfang, who became the weapons supervisor, and this important minister's surname was Qi."

Zheng Quchi kept his words in mind and planned to pass the collected information to Yuan Xingzhou. He believed that with his talent in womb fighting in this life, he would definitely be able to handle it better than her.

After Beitang Mu left, Zheng Quchi saw that no one else was around, and immediately relaxed the general's wife's aura, her little face turned into a ball, and she complained to Lan Yue: "Look, all of these... Her little thoughts are so hard to guard against, no simple person, being a general’s wife is too tiring, I still want to be a craftsman sawing wood.”

Wu Liang, Kong Li and Sixi stood at the back like a mural, only watching the general's wife quietly. Lan Yue had always been close to the general's wife, and since they were both women, they naturally chatted better. .

On weekdays, when Zheng Quchi is under great pressure and wants to find someone to talk to, Lan Yueshang is usually the one to talk to.

After hearing what Madam said, Lan Yue couldn't help but feel amused: "Madam has indeed been working hard recently. If the General is still here..."

In the middle of her words, Lan Yue immediately realized what she had said. She frowned and looked at Madam apologetically.

Zheng Quchi was startled, and then smiled nonchalantly: "If he is still here, I will definitely still be working as my little craftsman in Fu County, trying to find ways to make a lot of money..." And talk to him about peace and separation from this place. thing.

But now, her life trajectory seems to be completely messed up. Not only has she not reconciled with Yu Wensheng, but she has almost welded the name "General's Wife" on her body. From being unknown to everyone, she is now famous far and wide.

She sighed: "The opportunities in life are really magical."

"Madam will definitely have great luck in the future and be extremely valuable." Lan Yue said seriously.

Zheng Quchi didn't take her words to heart. He just thought Lan Yue wanted to comfort her. She said: "The future...who knows."

As the country of Ye is now in such a difficult and dangerous situation that the country is about to be destroyed, she, a general's wife, doesn't know how long she can continue to be a general. The future between her and the country of Ye is like being lost. Where will she be pushed in the end? She herself Can't even see clearly.

"Sister, second sister——"

An excited shout rang out from the side. Zheng Quchi, who was meditating, suddenly came back to her senses. She turned her head and was surprised to see Sang Yaomei. She was standing in an alley waving her little hand towards her, trying to arouse her attention. attention.

"Yaomei?"

Zheng Quchi was naturally happy to see his sister. However, before the smile on her lips could curl up, it froze at the corners of her lips the next second.

Because she saw that the man accompanying Sang Yaomei was not Brother Sang.

It was an "old acquaintance" whom she had not seen for a long time.
