Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 2343 Battle Crossbow
Liu Ya asked, "So, do you know where Qing Mo's home is and who is his family?"

"I know. But later I vaguely heard that something happened to my father, and the family seemed to be in trouble." Speaking of this, Jinmei frowned and said: "My father was also an official in the court, but my brother didn't enter the court. Official career is business. As for what happened at home, I don't know."

In the capital, the big family surnamed Chen used to be an official?
Liu Ya felt that the range was too small, so it should be easy to find.He said: "Well, I understand. Later, I promised Qing Mo to help him find his family members. What about you, do you want to recognize him?"

Jinmei hesitated for a moment, and said: "Master, don't talk about it, let me think about it."

Liu Ya agreed, and said again: "Since Qing Mo is your nephew, you can take care of him when he is injured."

"Okay, thank you, master." Jinmei smiled, and said, "I will also take care of the other boy. That boy is destined to me, and his name is only one letter away."

Liu Ya said: "Okay, do you agree to be a nephew or a younger brother? I have already figured out a place for these two boys to settle down. I went to see it just now and built a big house by the lake in the back mountain. Let them cultivate themselves."

"Thank you, master." Jinmei was really happy for Qing Mo from the bottom of her heart. If she could be cultivated by her master, she would definitely be a prominent figure in the future, and she might even be able to glorify her ancestors.

Liu Ya followed Jinmei to see Qing Mo and Jin Lan.Both of their wounds were bandaged, so Liu Ya didn't need to do anything else.

They were actually cut a few times, nothing serious.Instead, she was knocked out by Seventeen and had to sleep for a while.

It was only then that Liu Ya remembered that there was Xu Chenming hanging out in the hall.Let Jinmei guard here, and she took Shiqi and Aning to the hall again.

Xu Chenming had been waiting here for quite some time, but he didn't have much suspicion.

Because he and Liu Ya are considered familiar, there is no need for Liu Ya to treat him as a guest back and forth.

When Liu Ya came again, she saw Xu Chenming squatting on the ground, with a chair turned down and fiddling with something.

"Brother Xu, is this chair loose?" Liu Ya asked casually after entering the door.

Xu Chenming said "Yes", shook the chair legs with his hands, and said: "This carpenter's work is not meticulous, and the gap between the mortise and tenon joints is too big. It's nothing to sit on when it's new, but it will shake after a few years. Still creaking. I'll see if I put a wedge in it, it will last me a few years."

Liu Ya smiled and said, "Then thank you, brother Xu. But I didn't invite you here to repair chairs. I have a big project for you to do for me."

"Engineering?" Xu Chenming said in surprise: "I'm good at doing small jobs, but I'm afraid I can't do big jobs."

Liu Ya said: "A'Ning, go and get the blueprints I drew these days."

Aning went in response, and came back after a while holding a stack of folded large sheets of rice paper, unfolding them on the table one by one.

Liu Ya said: "Brother Xu, look, this is what I'm going to do. Let's finalize the blueprint first, see if there is anything unreasonable in the place I drew, and then study and make it. I found four more Carpentry is for you. When the time comes, you can call someone over and pick them out yourself. As for the materials, you should have seen it when you entered the door, and the yard is almost full."

"This is..." Xu Chenming walked over to look at the blueprint, and asked in surprise, "A crossbow machine?"

"War crossbow." Liu Ya walked over and pointed to the size marked on the map: "This war crossbow is four feet high and five feet wide, and can fire five to seven bolts at a time. It is carried by a light carriage."

The more Xu Chenming looked at it, the more startled he became. It took a long time before he came back to his senses and asked, "Is this going to be transported to the border to defend against the enemy?"

Liu Ya said: "Yes. This was designed by Che originally. But it is inconvenient for him to implement it at this time, so I will build it for him."

When Cang Qianche designed the crossbow, Liu Ya watched the whole process.At that time, many opinions were raised.

Moreover, with her amazing memory, Liu Ya has already memorized all the blueprints in her mind.

It's just that she was not a carpenter, and she didn't have much understanding of these instruments.She was afraid of making mistakes in some size marks, so she only revised them for a few days, and now she is discussing with Xu Chenming again.

Xu Chenming was surprised, but also interested.I took the drawing in my hand and looked at it carefully, and then I really pointed out a few unreasonable places.

He studied it from the perspective of a carpenter, because if it is to be manufactured, some subtle places cannot be seen on the drawing, but in practice, it will not be installed if there is a slight deviation, and safety cannot be guaranteed if it is barely installed.

After looking at it for a while, Xu Chenming saw that Liu Ya was still waiting, and said, "I still need to study it more carefully. Can you leave this blueprint to me? I'll give the second lady an answer tomorrow?"

"Okay." Liu Ya nodded in agreement.When she was about to leave, she stopped again and said back, "Brother Xu, you don't have to call me Second Miss anymore. Just call me Liu Ya. If you help me, I will definitely match you up later." About my eldest sister."

"Thank you." Xu Chenming smiled, blushing a little.

You know, he really came here because of Liu Ya's words.

After Liu Ya left, Xu Chenming began to seriously study those blueprints.

Back in her own room, Liu Ya let out a sigh of relief, lay lazily on the soft couch, and shook off her shoes.

She was also a little tired after going down the mountain and up again.This body is also getting heavier day by day, Liu Ya knows that the days are almost over.

The next day, Xu Chenming remained silent.I heard from a woman delivering meals that Xu Chenming hadn't eaten dinner since yesterday, and he didn't move after delivering breakfast today, and was still bored in the room.

Liu Ya planned to go over to have a look. Just as she arrived at the door, Xu Chenming just opened the door and came out.

Seeing Xu Chenming's eyes turned red, his face turned gray, and his hair was messed up like a dog had crawled over him.

Liu Ya then asked: "Brother Xu, have you been up all night?"

"After sleeping for a while, I felt something was wrong as soon as I lay down, and got up to think about it again." Xu Chenming scratched his head and messed up his messy hair even more.

Liu Ya knows that this is the case with anyone who loves to use his brain, once he encounters something that makes him focus his mind, he just forgets to eat and sleep like this.

However, Xu Chen was obviously very happy and full of energy. He smiled and said, "After a few improvements, the drawings are no longer problematic. Now I'll go and look at the materials to see what's missing."

Liu Ya followed him to the pile of materials in the yard, and then saw Xu Chenming's eyes lit up, and said in surprise: "They are all good wood. Such good iron wood is the best for making bows, arrows and crossbows." OK."
