Emperor, I Am Brutal

The palace maids and eunuchs who kneeled in the courtyard waited for Hu Xiao and Zhilan to change before climbing out again.

Seeing that Yin Fufeng and Hu Xiao had left for the palace, Zhao Qiyan was slightly more at ease. He pinched the bag that Hu Xiaoxiao had given him before leaving, then turned around and walked back to Mr. Mo Zhu's study.

The little boy was about to close the door when he saw Zhao Qi Yan coming back. He became slightly flustered and relieved when he saw that there was no one following him.

He had never seen such a crude woman like Hu Xiaoxiao. Furthermore, she had accompanied Mister Mo Zhu for a long time, so it would be very honorable if she went there. Someone would dare to carry his collar and walk away.

"Teacher is still in the study room."

When the ingot saw that there was only Zhao Qiyan left, it told him where Mr. Mo Zhu was and ran off. It was a huge blow today that it felt like it needed a place to recuperate.

Mo Zhu wasn't surprised to see Zhao Qiyan return.

"Is there anything else, General Zhao?"

At this moment, Mo Zhu was thinking about how to modify the training equipment used by the soldiers. He had more ideas and was also in a good mood. Therefore, his attitude towards Zhao Qiyan was much better.

"The woman who came today is the empress of the eastern courtyard."

Because of this set of tools, Mo Zhu and Hu Xiao would definitely come into contact with each other again. If Hu Xiaoxiao were to sneak out of the palace now, he would definitely have to inform the other party first, otherwise, it would have a huge impact on Hu Xiaoxiao if he were to be exposed in the future.

"So it's the empress. Sorry for the impoliteness."

Mo Zhu looked at Hu Xiao's expression and thought which family's daughter or talented Jianghu woman it was. He didn't expect Hu Xiao to be the mother of a country, so he really didn't know how to be tactful.

However, Mo Zhu was somewhat puzzled as he looked at Zhao Qiyan's expression. What did Zhao Qiyan mean? If not in front of a laughing face, it would be better to say it later.

"The empress was secretly visiting the barracks today, so it's not good to be overly flamboyant. She specifically greeted Teacher, afraid that something like this might happen again in the future. I hope Sir can keep it a secret."

Zhao Qiyan was afraid that something bad would happen. Sometimes, Mr. Mo Zhu had to look down on His Majesty before he could say anything. Now that he was laughing, Zhao Qiyan was not very confident.

There was no need for the empress to go around secretly during private interviews. Mo Zhu understood Zhao Qiyan's intentions after some thought. It was a simple matter, so it didn't matter if he agreed.

"This humble one understands, but this empress is a truly wondrous woman. How could she be so proficient in weapons and martial arts? This humble one wants to see if the empress is any weaker than General Zhao."

Why would a dignified empress need such strength? However, no matter what, Hu Xiaoxiao's actions today had caused Mo Zhu to be pleased to accept it.

Seeing that Mister Mo Zhu had agreed to this matter, Zhao Qi Yan let out a sigh of relief in his heart. At the very least, he could be considered to have some sort of protection as he placed the embroidered bag in front of Mister Mo Zhu.

"What is this?"

Mo Zhu looked at the bag in front of him with a puzzled expression.

"This is what the empress has given to mister Mo Zhu. You'll know when you open it."

Zhao Qiyan had already looked through the contents of the box before entering, and he was filled with admiration for Hu Xiaoxiao.

"General Zhao, this is an amendment to the crossbow. Today, I see that it is not suitable for you to allow the soldiers to train with the crossbow. This is a different version. Take a look."

Before Hu Xiao entered the palace, he gave the brocade sack to Zhao Qiyan to keep.

The things inside the barracks were being done by Mr. Mo Zhu, and Zhao Qi Yan had a plan in mind. If Mr. Mo Zhu agreed to his request and gave it to Mr. Mo Zhu, then there was no harm in asking someone else to do it for him. If not, then he would just have to find someone to do it for him.

Presumably, this was also because he was laughing slyly and did not directly tell Mo Zhu his intentions.

Now, it seemed that Mister Mo Zhu and Hu Xiao harbored a feeling of cherishing each other. If the Emperor were to pursue this matter in the future, with Mister Mo Zhu helping him cover it up, the Emperor probably wouldn't do anything about it.

When Mr. Mo Zhu saw that this was given to him by Hu Xiaoxiao, he probably understood what Hu Xiao meant. He did not expect that Hu Xiaoxiao, despite being a woman, had the courage and foresight to be called a rare woman.

The contents of the silk bag were indeed eye-opener for Mo Zhu.

That embroidered bag was speaking about one of the problems that puzzled Mr. Mo Zhu today. With this embroidered bag, he was able to solve this problem. The crossbow was originally made, but its safety performance was too low and it took too much time and effort.

After strolling around the base camp, Hu Xiao had gotten to know a few of the larger divisions of the base. It was not easy for soldiers to carry heavy bows and crossbows on the battlefield, so it would be better to just make them better.

It would be a good way to train a few soldiers to use the crossbow to shoot arrows at the edge of the battlefield.

A single arrow could lower a single white arrow. In the future, the soldiers of the Eastern Courtyard would also be imperceptibly boosted in the battlefield.

"General, rest assured that I will be able to make this crossbow after studying it for a few days. I have something that I need your help with."

Mo Zhu put down the brocade sack in his hand, turned around, and said to Zhao Qiyan.

"Mister Mo Zhu, just say it directly. There is no such thing as helping or not helping the two of us."

When Zhao Weiyan saw that Mo Zhu's expression was the same as when he was looking at the silk sachet, he knew that Mister Mo Zhu was interested in the sachet. If this matter succeeded, it would greatly increase the East Branch's military might.

"Just now, the empress was in a hurry to return to the palace, so I haven't properly thought out how to change that set of equipment. Now, General is going to let me record this flaw so I can further repair it."

"That's easy to say. Let's go."

Zhao Qiyan didn't refuse and directly walked over.

Hu Xiaoxiao's earlier moves were reflected in Zhao Qiyan's mind. In addition to his usual habits, Zhao Qiyan slowly began to fight.

Mo Zhu and the ingot on the side noted down their flaws.

Looking at Zhao Qiyan's movements, Mo Zhu remembered the moves he had used just now and frowned slightly. Mr. Mo Zhu could be said to be experienced and knowledgeable, but when he was young, he had never seen a move like Hu Xiao's. His curiosity was piqued.
