Xie Yao was not surprised at all when she heard Chu Han's order to use the newly developed cannon to bombard Nanzhao and Dongao.
She also knew about Chu Han's previous order to withdraw his troops.
Chu Han did not give up resistance completely, but while sending people to evacuate the people, he was also paying attention to every move of the enemy.
During the advance of Nanzhao's army, several generals died in the army, which was what Chu Han ordered.
I originally wanted to kill some generals of Dong Ao Kingdom, but all the generals of Dong Ao Kingdom on this expedition took pills made by Ksitigarbha Lotus, so I gave up for the time being.
She stepped up her efforts to develop artillery shells for this very reason.
Wu Feng had seen the power of artillery shells with his own eyes. When he heard that Chu Han was going to bombard the enemy, he immediately accepted the order with great excitement, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty! I will definitely arrange this properly!"
"In addition, inform General Xie and ask him to prepare his army and wait for my order."
"yes!"
After receiving the order, Wu Feng left quickly, full of energy to bring a big deal to Nanzhao and Dong'ao.
Xie Yao also wanted to leave when he saw this, "You have to make arrangements for such a big thing. I'll go to the small courtyard again."
The place where artillery shells were developed was called "small courtyard" by her and Chu Han.
"This time, I plan to lead the expedition in person, so you can go with me." Chu Han came to Xie Yao's side, staring deeply into his eyes with his dark eyes, and his tone had a hint of questioning.
"Of course I will go with you." Xie Yao smiled and raised her head, her eyes jumping in those black eyes, looking at her own reflection in the black eyes, which had completely merged with those black eyes.
She developed the cannon, so she naturally had to follow it throughout the process.
In this way, even if anything happens, she can solve it as soon as possible.
"The war is about to break out, and it's far away from the capital. We may have to set off tonight. You'd better go get some sleep and recharge your batteries so as not to be tired on the road." Chu Han said softly.
Xie Yao has been developing artillery shells almost every day for a while now and is already very tired.
"It's okay, I'm just going to make a few more cannonballs. Nanzhao and Dongao are both extremely ferocious, and they have both taken pills made by Ksitigarbha, so one cannonball is not enough after all. Bring a few more cannonballs with you.
Just in case." Xie Yao has now mastered the method of making cannonballs, so there is no danger.
"I'll go with you." Chu Han's voice was still gentle, but this time there was no room for doubt.
No one is allowed to enter Xie Yao's courtyard. Even Zi Qing and Wu Peiya came to help, but Xie Yao refused.
Because it’s too dangerous!
Therefore, Xie Yao must be alone in making cannonballs now. Naturally, he cannot let Xie Yao be busy alone.
"Okay." Xie Yao certainly wouldn't refuse the labor offered to her door.
So, the two of them came to the small courtyard.
Because there is no one to clean up here, it is a bit messy.
The two simply tidied up the place, and then Xie Yao started making cannonballs.
After making three cannonballs, the materials ran out.
Xie Yao took one look at the three completed cannonballs and decided not to continue.
Firstly, three cannonballs are basically enough, and secondly, it takes a lot of time to prepare the materials.
As Chu Han said, we may have to leave tonight and there will be no time to prepare materials.
When she comes back this time, she will definitely have people prepare more materials and make as many cannonballs as she wants.
"These are enough, there is no need to do more." Chu Han spoke first and glanced at the sky, "I will let Wu Feng order people to take these shells and barrels away later. You don't have to worry. What you have to do now is to install them."
Just rest peacefully and don’t think about anything.”
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Xie Yao nodded, feeling really sleepy and yawned, "Go and do your business first. Someone call me before you leave. I'm sleepy, so go back to sleep.
A moment."
"Go. There are at least two or three hours before departure. You can sleep a little longer." Chu Han's gentle voice sounded.
Xie Yao didn't know why, maybe all the accumulated fatigue during this period came up, causing her to yawn again and again.
Waving her hand towards Chu Han, she turned around and left.
She was really sleepy.
However, because she was also thinking about the expedition, her sleep was not peaceful and she often woke up suddenly.
When I woke up again, it was already late at night.
Ziqing and Wu Peiya knew that Xie Yao was leaving tonight, so they didn't sleep and stayed outside.
"What time is it now?" Xie Yao asked.
"Go back to the queen, it's already time." Ziqing happened to be outside.
"Where is the Emperor?"
"Still in the Imperial Study Room, but I just sent someone here, saying that we will leave in half an hour, and we will call you in another quarter of an hour. Unexpectedly, you woke up on your own."
"Okay, let's get ready."
Xie Yao got out of bed and prepared things one by one according to what she had thought about before going to bed.
I glanced at the time and saw that it was less than a quarter of an hour away from the half hour Chu Han said.
"Let's go. Tell someone to tell the emperor that we should wait at the palace gate." Xie Yao acted resolutely. Since the preparations have been completed, there is no need to waste time in Fengyi Palace.
"Yes!" Someone immediately went to deliver the message.
As soon as Xie Yao walked out of the main hall, she saw a person running in front of her, it was Ling Yue.
"Take me with you, I want to come with you." Ling Yue said directly as soon as she ran up to him.
She is not a straightforward person, but she knows that playing tricks with Xie Yao will only be counterproductive. Only by speaking out can she succeed.
For example, before, she successfully determined that the black smoke was caused by Xie Yao.
"Do you know where I'm going?" Xie Yao stood still and looked at Ling Yue.
Ling Yue is dressed neatly now, and the clothes she wears are suitable for riding a horse and running and jumping, not the princess clothes of the past.
"Nanzhao Kingdom and Dong'ao Kingdom are fighting, you have to rush over." Ling Yue was very sure.
Xie Yao frowned and looked at Ling Yue critically.
Although Chu Han was in Fengyi Palace when he issued the order, it was a military secret after all, and everyone who knew nothing about it knew it.
Ling Yue has been locked up in Fengyi Palace. Where did the news come from?
It is unusual for a person whose movement is restricted to be so well-informed.
"If I were you, I would put away your doubts about me now and focus on dealing with the confrontation between the two countries. With the current strength of Wanqi Kingdom, there is no way to compete with the coalition forces of Nanzhao Kingdom and Dongao Kingdom.
"Ling Yue was not surprised at all when she saw Xie Yao's scrutinizing eyes, her expression was very calm.
"You dare to take the initiative to face the enemy, probably because of the thing you are studying that makes a loud sound and emits black smoke."
After saying that, Ling Yue's eyes tightened, never leaving Xie Yao's face.
Xie Yao suddenly laughed after hearing this, "The reason why you want to follow me is to see what I have researched."
As soon as she made some noise, Ling Yue came to the door.
Nowadays, the power of the artillery shells is so huge that it is impossible for Ling Yue not to be tempted.
Who is the person Ling Yue is protecting?
"I can help." Ling Yue didn't deny it, but she didn't admit it either.
