"No." Xie Yao said two words without even looking at Yuan Changfeng. She refused decisively and showed no mercy.
Yuan Changfeng's smile froze at the end of his eyes, and then his narrow eyes narrowed, "Is the queen wary of me? To show our sincerity, my junior sister and I have volunteered to be the vanguard and charged into the battle, putting our lives at risk. Unexpectedly, we still couldn't convince the queen.
"
"That's alright. I hope that when my junior sister and I come back with military exploits, the queen will look at us differently. However, I also ask the queen to teach us how to operate the cannon so that we can fight against the enemy."
"No need. You are the vanguard. You want to attack quickly and retreat quickly. You will not carry heavy things like cannons." The person who refused this time was Chu Han, who was no less straightforward than Xie Yao.
Xie Yao looked at it with a smile on her face and did not refute.
The smile on Yuan Changfeng's face completely disappeared, he glanced at Chu Han and Xie Yao, without saying a word, he fisted and left with a cold face.
Chu Yi'er's eyes moved, her baby-fat expression was filled with embarrassment, and she complained: "Brother Huang, senior brother really wants to help. It's too hurtful for the wife of the Emperor to treat him like this."
Xie Yao raised her eyebrows. She turned a blind eye to Chu Han's rejection and only found fault with her?
"Miss Chu's words are wrong. The cannon is a secret of Wanqi Kingdom. Apart from me and the emperor, no third person knows about it. Not to mention your senior brother, even if it is you, I will reject it." Xie Yao
Once again, no courtesy.
"Brother Emperor, I just don't want any misunderstanding between the Emperor's wife and my senior brother. After all, we are all our own people. But look at the Emperor's sister-in-law's tone, as if I am also an outsider." Chu Yi'er's appearance had a hint of something amiss.
She was so cute, but now she looks even more pitiable.
"Your sister-in-law has such a straightforward character. You will know if you get along with her more in the future. As for your senior brother, you can go back and persuade me a little more. The cannon is indeed a secret of Wanqi Kingdom, and no one can tell it."
"If your senior brother is really particularly interested, I will ask the cannon maker from Miao to explain it to him when Miao is captured." Chu Han's attitude towards Chu Yi'er was not as cold as before, but it was still obvious that he stood by
Xie Yao aside.
Chu Yi'er heard the protectiveness in Chu Han's words and was not angry. She even smiled and said, "Brother Huang is indeed as good as the rumors outside. He takes good care of the emperor's sister-in-law!"
"Senior brother, I'll just go and tell you. Don't worry, brother, even if there are no cannons, I can win as well as my senior brother."
After saying that, Chu Yi'er saluted to Chu Han, then also saluted to Xie Yao, and then turned and left.
Seeing this, Xie Yao raised the corners of her mouth slightly and her smile grew stronger.
When she and Chu Han were left in the tent again, she asked: "You only gave them five hundred soldiers, didn't you want them to die?"
Five hundred soldiers may be more or less, but it is not enough to deal with those in Miao territory, especially in Miao territory.
But Chu Yi'er is the adopted daughter of King Pingxi after all. Even if she came from Nanzhao Kingdom and did not cause any attack by the Gu, Chu Han would not watch Chu Yi'er die.
"Don't underestimate them." Chu Han smiled enigmatically, "With the strength of the two of them, five hundred people is a bit too small, but winning is not a big problem."
As soon as Xie Yao saw Chu Han's expression, she knew that Chu Han had already made arrangements, and she couldn't help but be a little curious, "What are you going to do about Chu Yi'er?"
Hearing this, the smile on Chu Han's face disappeared and turned serious, with a sharp light in his black eyes, "I only met her once when I was a child, and I didn't know anything about her. Especially later.
There was also news that she was missing, and there was no news at all.”
"If she sincerely helps the Wanqi Kingdom defeat the Miao Territory, then I will reward her based on her merits and give her the status of princess."
"If she has other motives for this trip and the purpose is not right, I will also clean up the family for the emperor's uncle!"
Xie Yao's mind was shaken, and she felt the aura around Chu Han, and her eyes became solemn.
If Chu Yi'er really has evil intentions, even if King Pingxi is alive, he probably won't allow such a thing to happen!
Chu Han said that he wanted to clean up the family for King Pingxi, which would be suitable.
However, she didn't want this to happen.
Looking at the royal family, Chu Han is alone, which makes people feel distressed.
If Chu Yi'er really comes back after completing her studies, even though she is only an adopted daughter, she can still be regarded as half of the royal family.
I hope Chu Yi'er doesn't have ulterior motives.
"What are you going to do next?" Xie Yao appropriately changed the subject and looked at the overall situation, "Now it has been confirmed that there are cannons in Miao territory, and there is very likely to be more in the future."
Miao Jiang's cannons were no less powerful than hers. If they were allowed to attack, they would suffer heavy casualties.
"Didn't we already agree before we came? We'll just go all the way." The serious look in Chu Han's eyes immediately dissipated, and he smiled again, calm and composed.
"Blast it over?" Xie Yao was slightly startled.
The cannon is extremely powerful and heavy. Although it has wheels, it is not easy to move.
As long as Miao Jiang is given a chance to react, he will definitely fire.
Even if there is only one cannon left in Miao territory, it will still be very dangerous.
"That's right. For this purpose, I specially asked someone to make something. You come with me." Chu Han then pulled Xie Yao and walked out.
Xie Yao was also a little curious as to what exactly Chu Han had made that could allow the cannon to blast all the way through.
When she saw the real thing, she couldn't help but nod, this thing does have some effect.
What is in front of you is something similar to a carriage, but without a shed and with two extra wheels.
"I know that the cannon is not easy to move, so I made this specially. It can be pulled by two horses at the same time, and it can keep up with the advancing speed of the soldiers. Not only that, the four carriages can also be connected to each other, making the cannon more stable." Chu Han
As he spoke, he also covered up the situation and connected the four cars together.
Xie Yao was surprised when he saw this and gave a thumbs up, "Awesome!"
She was wrong. It wasn't that it was somewhat useful, but that it was quite useful.
With such a thing, the forward speed of the cannon can indeed be guaranteed and very stable. When the four vehicles are connected together, they are even more unbreakable!
This reminded her of when the Red Cliff was burned, Wei's warships were connected together with iron ropes, and then they were burned by a fire and suffered a disastrous defeat.
The difference is that the artillery is at the rear of the large army, and rockets cannot reach it. Even if the four-wheel drive really catches fire, it is very simple to put it out.
"If you arrange it this way, you can really blast it all the way." Xie Yao said after looking around carefully.
She had prepared enough artillery shells anyway, and the Miao territory was not too big, so there would be no problem in blasting through it. It was just that the mountain road was a little more difficult to walk.
…
That night, Wufeng received battle reports one after another, saying that Yuan Changfeng and Chu Yi'er were on the front line with overwhelming force, defeating the enemy one after another, and had reached the hinterland of the Miao territory. They were very brave!
