A sudden whim

In the end, the three of them didn't buy much. They all used it to buy daily necessities, and they spent all their money.

Yang Cong rented another ox cart, loaded up the things he bought, and returned to Xiaogang Village together.

As soon as he entered the village, he saw a villager running towards him in a hurry. He shouted loudly: "Mr. Pei... from Xi... from Xirong... is here!"

Shen Yuexi was surprised, the Xirong people came so soon?

"Those Xirong people came to look for their companions. They said that their companions' bodies were found near our village. They suspect that our villagers killed them." Seeing Shen Yuexi's confusion, the villagers told her that Why did the Xirong people come?

Shen Yuexi had expected this result. After all, five living people were missing. How could Xirong ignore them? They must come here to search. Sooner or later, they would be exposed.

After all, she and Xiao Zhuo were the ones who brought Xirong here. I don’t know what kind of disaster it will bring to the village in the future. Although everyone in the village agrees with what Xiao Zhuo said, when things come to a close, some people will inevitably be greedy for life and afraid of death, and their minds will be shaken.

Xiao Zhuo asked: "How many people are here? Have any villagers been arrested?"

The man wiped the sweat from his forehead and followed Xiao Zhuo home. As he walked, he said, "Nine people are here. I called everyone together. They are on the west side near the foot of the mountain."

When Shen Yuexi saw Xiao Zhuo asking questions, she silently took two steps back to figure out a countermeasure. Xiao Zhuo stopped slowly, and Shen Yuexi, who was lowering her head and thinking, didn't realize it, and suddenly bumped into Xiao Zhuo's arms, waiting for her to realize He came over and tried to distance himself, but Xiao Zhuo held his wrist.

"Together."

Xiao Zhuo's gentle voice did not allow her to retreat.

She now discovered that Xiao Zhuo's attitude towards her was different from usual. He seemed to no longer avoid her in everything, and he also wanted to let her know his plans.

It only took a moment. Shen Yuexi and Xiao Zhuo were walking side by side. This was quite surprising in an era when women's status was low. Even the villager who spoke couldn't help but take a second look at Shen Yuexi.

Isn't it just good-looking? Why does Mr. Pei elevate his wife to such a high level?

But now business was important, so he continued to explain the current situation to Xiao Zhuo.

At first, the Xirong people planned to search every household, but later they gathered the villagers together and asked them to recommend the person who killed them.

When Shen Yuexi heard this, she couldn't help but worry that someone would betray them.

The villagers prayed to Xiao Zhuo: "Mr. Pei, everyone is helpless now. They are all waiting for you to come to rescue."

Xiao Zhuo's pace quickened, his face was solemn, he turned around and told Shen Yuexi: "I will go with him in a while, but don't come out at home."

Shen Yuexi nodded without hesitation.

How dare she go out at this time?

Realizing the danger this time, there might be people from Xirong in the village. She was not a martial artist, so she didn't dare to risk her life.

"Don't worry, I won't leave home even half a step, waiting for you to come back." Shen Yuexi raised her hand to assure Xiao Zhuo.

Xiao Zhuo gave a rare smile, stretched out his hand to rub the top of her head, and left quickly with the villagers.

Looking at Xiao Zhuo's leaving figure, Shen Yuexi felt a little worried. Although the villagers said there were nine Xirong people, if the Xirong soldiers came later, would Xiao Zhuo be able to deal with them.

Yang Cong drove the bullock cart to her side and comforted her: "Ms. Pei, your husband is so powerful that he can be laid down in just a few strokes. There are not more than ten people from Xirong who come here every time."

Yang Cong had seen Xiao Zhuo's swordsmanship and had great faith in Xiao Zhuo's strength. Shen Yuexi naturally knew this, but she still couldn't help but feel a little worried.

These Xirong people will definitely not give up. If Xiao Zhuo kills them, what will happen next?

The Xirong army will come again. There are thousands of them. Even if Xiao Zhuo is covered in iron, he can drive a few nails.

It would be great if her universal manufacturing function could create super powerful weapons to assist Xiao Zhuo. In this case, not to mention ten people, there would be hundreds or even thousands of people.

Thinking of this, her smart eyes turned and her gaze fell on the barren mountains not far away.

"Big Bear, make a cannon."

Ancient iron cannons were particularly prone to exploding due to problems with their manufacturing process, but Daxiong was able to make iron cannons without any impurities, and paired with suitable shells, they were enough to deal with any foreign enemy.

"Dear Master, we are collecting the raw materials needed for the cannon...the progress is 1%...1%...1%. Dear Master, there is insufficient raw materials and production is interrupted."

Shen Yuexi was not surprised. Making cannons requires a lot of iron, but where can one go to find iron in these barren mountains?

"Dear Master, please change your position as soon as possible. Big Bear will continue to collect the raw materials required for the cannon and notify you after the collection is completed."

Yang Cong suddenly screamed from behind, "Ms. Pei, where did the ring on the cow's nose go?"

Shen Yuexi turned around and saw that the iron ring on the cow's nose had disappeared. Yang Cong was looking around with a cattle whip, saying to himself: "Did it fall on the way?"

Shen Yuexi smiled awkwardly and hurriedly ran towards the mountain. She had to ask Big Bear not to include cows in the collection...

After running for more than ten meters, the big bear's voice sounded again.

"Dear Master, we are collecting the raw materials needed for the cannon...the progress is 1.1%."

Shen Yuexi was overjoyed and quickened her pace.

"...Progress 1.4%...Progress 2%."

The closer to the mountain, the faster the bear collects iron. Is there an iron ore in the mountain?

Yang Cong watched in confusion as Shen Yuexi ran further and further away, and quickly shouted: "Ms. Pei! Miss Pei, didn't you agree to go home? What are you doing?"

When Shen Yuexi heard this, she had to stop and turn back, making nonsense: "There was a wasp chasing me just now."

"Hornet!" Yang Cong gasped, "Where is it?"

When she was a child, she was stung by a wasp, which caused a big bump. It took several days for her to get rid of it. Her scalp was numb when she heard the wasp.

"Fly away, fly away." Shen Yuexi smiled vaguely, and at the same time asked the big bear to stop making.

As long as you collect enough materials, you can make a cannon with super powerful firepower, enough to defeat those countries that mainly use cold weapons.

Moreover, with artillery, there will not be a large number of casualties among our personnel, and the enemy will be completely crushed. In this way, the opponent's surrender will be as fast as a landslide, but the casualties of the two warring parties will be reduced. to the lowest.

This is a proper rhythm for an industrial country to defeat an agricultural country.

Since there is a universal manufacturing machine, why not use it to its fullest potential?

Who said that vigorously developing unbalanced force values ​​is cheating? She said that as long as there is strength that makes the other party unattainable, the losses in the war will be extremely low.

The mere intimidation of artillery will instill fear in the enemy's heart, and may have the effect of defeating the enemy without fighting.

She thought about it in her mind and felt it was a good deal.

As for whether it will destroy the existing world order, in her opinion, since a new civilization has emerged, it will inevitably replace the old rules.

The more Shen Yuexi thought about it, the more she felt that it was a great idea to let the universal manufacturing mechanism make powerful weapons.

Although only 2% of the iron has been collected, there is still a long time before the cannon can be made, but there is no rush.

When you have free time, you must go to the mountains. There are probably iron ore deposits there.
