Chapter 375: Huang Yueying—a woman in troubled times
Mrs. Gan stepped out of the mansion in the cold wind, and another woman also entered the official workshop in Xiangyang City when the war was at its most urgent.
When Pang Shiyuan, who was just about to take a rest, heard that Huang Yueying had gone to the official workshop, he was so frightened that he flew away for nine days.
"Pan Chengming, you thief will die a happy death!"
With that angry curse, Pang Tong rushed to the official workshop as fast as he could in his life.
When he just entered it, he already felt a wave of heat sweeping over him, and at the same time he saw Pan Jun with the same ugly face inside...
"Pan Chengming, you thief!" Along with the roar, Pang Tong, a gentleman known as the crown of Jingchu, thought that for the first time he drew his sword in public regardless of his manners, and was about to snap at the guy in front of him. p>

If it weren't for a group of people desperately trying to stop them, I'm afraid one of the two Jingzhou heroes, Pan Chengming and Pang Shiyuan, would have to lie down today.
And the hustle and bustle here naturally attracted deeper attention.
Huang Yueying, who had a big belly, also walked out slowly with the support of several Zhuge women.
"What are you two gentlemen doing? Jingzhou is busy with affairs, why are you all here?"
Looking at Huang Yueying, whose face was flushed and sweat stains had soaked through most of her clothes, and then looked at her obviously bulging belly, Pang Shiyuan and Pan Chengming no longer had a problem with their ugly faces.
"Madam, please return home immediately!"
"Sister-in-law, please go back and don't make things difficult for me."
This time, the two people's opinions were surprisingly consistent. They both strongly urged Huang Yueying to leave quickly, mainly because they were really worried.
The main reason is that Huang Yueying's situation is different from Mrs. Gan's. Mrs. Gan's health has been poor in the past few years after giving birth, but she still seems to have no problem.
But Huang Yueying is different. She is not just in good or bad health. Zhuge Liang has had no heirs for so many years. After Liu Bei became quiet in Hanzhong, he authorized Huang Yueying and Pang Shanmin's wife Zhuge to enter Hanzhong together.
It can be regarded as a favor to Zhuge Liang.
And Huang Yueying finally got pregnant before Zhuge Liang left, but when Huang Yueying knew about it, Zhuge Liang entered Yongliang.
At the same time, under the diagnosis and treatment of doctors, Huang Yueying's health was also very poor. It was not easy for Huang Yueying, who was already a little weak, to be pregnant. The fetus was very unstable.
As a result, Liu Bei was so frightened that he immediately sent him back to Xiangyang, found the best maids, and transferred many women from Zhuge's house to serve him, not to mention various supplements.
Compared with their young master Liu Chan, the child in Huang Yueying's belly is even more remarkable. For many years, their military advisor has had a child...
Under this situation, if Huang Yueying is allowed to stay here, if anything happens, then they will really have no shame to meet Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.
Seeing the worried expressions on Pang Tong and Pan Jun's faces, Huang Yueying just chuckled and touched her lower abdomen lovingly, feeling the slight beating.
"After being nursed back to health by various doctors during this period, my body has improved a lot. You two gentlemen don't need to worry..."
"Sister-in-law, don't say that when you go." Pang Tong didn't give Huang Yueying a chance to speak at all. He stepped forward and bowed, "Although Kong Ming and I have quarreled many times, we have been close friends for many years.
If anything happens to Mrs. Jean's sister-in-law, I'm afraid Pang Shiyuan will die without redemption.
Please also ask Madam Sister-in-law... to restore your self-cultivation!"
Looking at Pang Tong's firm attitude, Huang Yueying also knew that if she didn't say something, she wouldn't be able to stay any longer.
"Go and collect my picture." Under Huang Yueying's command, a female scroll immediately turned around and walked back. When she came out again, she was already holding a scroll made of cloth in her hand and sent it to Pang Tong. .
"This thing is..."
"Before, my husband imitated the old Chu Liannu and improved the Liannu chariot, which was very brilliant in the battle formations back then.
But in the past two years on the battlefield, this ballista has slowly disappeared. I wonder if Mr. Shiyuan ever knows why?"
"..." Pang Tong looked at the scroll in front of him, and then slowly shook his head, "We have told Kong Ming before that although the crossbow cart is good, it is expensive to build and very difficult to move. p>
Although it seems very powerful if used to defend a city, it is not a sharp weapon.
It has no effect in turning the tide of the war.
When used in field battles, it is inconvenient to move and is also not advisable.
Later, Kongming improved the ballista so that it could be operated by soldiers, but he ran into another problem.
It is the same as the twenty-shot repeating crossbow of Gu Chu back then. It seems to be amazingly powerful, but its power is greatly reduced beyond twenty steps.
As today's armored stomachs become more and more perfect, as long as a group of more than a hundred warriors plus two layers of armored stomachs can completely render the serial crossbow useless.
By then they won't even be able to run away..."
"That's why repeating crossbows are powerful but difficult to move. Although short-handled repeating crossbows are easy to carry, they cannot stand on the battlefield.
Therefore, this thing has become a thorn in my husband's heart. In addition, my husband once made a wooden ox and a horse to transport food and soldiers in the mountains and rivers, which can greatly save manpower.
But these all have more or less problems, either the process is very cumbersome, or the cost is very high, or even both.
During this period of time, I have nothing to do at home, so I try to improve this repeating crossbow. Even if the disadvantages cannot be completely eliminated, it still needs to be usable on the battlefield.
There is no shortage of iron ore in Jingnan. If we can successfully transform thousands of repeating crossbows before the beginning of spring, maybe we can help the lord regain the upper hand in Hanzhong..."
After Huang Yueying finished speaking, even Pan Jun couldn't help it this time. He grabbed the scroll with excitement, and then looked at it carefully with fiery eyes.
"Ahem..." Huang Yueying looked at Pan Jun, who was full of excitement for a long time, and finally coughed lightly, "I took it backwards..."
"Uh..." Pan Jun froze, and then calmly turned the scroll over...
"What Madam Sister-in-law means is that you held it upside down!" Pang Tong couldn't stand it anymore and snatched the scroll away, "This thing... do you understand?"
"Is it possible that you can understand?"
"Joke!" Pang Tong sneered directly at Pan Jun, "Pang and Kong Ming are brothers, and they are called Crouching Dragon and Phoenix!"
"So?"
"Pang... although I can't understand it, that's not why you are here with a bulging stomach!" Pang Tong put the scroll directly into his arms and looked at Huang Yueying with a look of helplessness on his face, "Please, Madam Sister-in-law... ”
"Sir, it's not long before spring starts..." Huang Yueying just used this sentence to make the two of them shut up.
At the same time, she slowly touched her lower abdomen, and couldn't help but think of what the doctor had said to her, and finally a trace of unnoticed bitterness flashed across her lips.
