Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After Su Qing left, Qin Tie worked tirelessly for the past few days and finally made the mortar that Su Qing wanted. It was all made according to her blueprints, not missing a single point.

When Su Qing returned to Mo City, she saw Qin Tie at the city gate. Since he made the mortar, Qin Tie had been waiting for Su Qing or Xiao Zeyu to return. When it was cold, he would go to the city gate tower to warm himself up. This day, when he was freezing stiff and went to the city gate tower to warm himself, a soldier came to tell him that the young madam had returned.

Young Madam.

Qin Tie ran out of the city gate tower with a corner of his cotton robe in his hand, his face br.i.m.m.i.n.g with a happy smile. Su Qing heard Qin Ties voice and lifted the carriage curtain. When she saw Qin Ties smile, her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he succeeded?

Indeed, Qin Tie could not wait to tell her,

Young Madam, its done, its done.

Really?

Su Qing asked in surprise. This was the best gift for the new year.

Its true. Please come to my house to take a look.

Qin Ties eyes lit up, and he looked utterly confident. Su Qing smiled and nodded.

Alright.

If the mortars were successfully made, it would be time to destroy the Wan Family Army. She, who had always been calm, was extremely excited. She hated the long journey and wanted to see the mortars immediately.

Qin Tie refused to enter the carriage and jogged in front to lead the way. He was so happy that he wanted to fly. He was more excited than any new mechanism he had created.

He could finally repay his benefactor!

Su Qing followed Qin Tie to his house. Qin Tie had placed the mortar in his bedroom. He couldnt let the young madam follow him into the bedroom, so he asked Su Qing to wait for him in the living room. A servant girl brought Su Qing tea. She sat on a chair and waited for Qin Tie to bring the mortar.

Soon, Qin Tie returned. Two guards followed behind him, carrying the completed mortar. Su Qing stood up immediately. Qin Tie had made it exactly like her blueprint.

She walked over excitedly. With this, the Xiao Family Army would be invincible.

After all, he was an expert in making traps. His mortar was very precise and the same as what Su Qing wanted. Now, he was just missing the cannonball. With the cannonball, he could use it on the battlefield.

Young Madam, is this lowly servant qualified?

Seeing that Su Qing was only looking at the mortar without saying a word, Qin Tie was extremely nervous and could not help but ask.

Youve done very well. You completely meet my requirements. You can continue to do it.

Su Qing nodded. When she saw Qin Ties nervous look, she praised him and asked him to do more.

Alright.

Qin Tie became excited when he heard Su Qing say that he pa.s.sed. He had finally proved his worth. Qin Tie rubbed his hands. He was so excited to help the young master and his wife.

Just making this isnt enough; we must still make cannonb.a.l.l.s.

Su Qing immediately ordered someone to bring a pen, paper, and inkstone. She drew the blueprint of the cannonball on the spot and measured the cannonballs size according to the mortars size. Otherwise, it would be a waste if the cannonball could not fit into the barrel.

Okay, okay, Ill do it now.

Qin Ties eyes lit up again when he saw the cannonball designed by Su Qing. The young madam was a genius.

After leaving Qin Ties place, Su Qing went to the blacksmiths shop and instructed the blacksmith to continue making the cannon barrels. She was prepared to take ten mortars to Luo City to support Xiao Zeyu. When the time came, she would go to the capital.

The citizens of Mo City were all soldiers now. They cherished their current lives and were afraid of being destroyed by others. During the new year alone, the citizens had arrested five or six spies.

Especially the villagers of Peach Blossom Cove. In the past, they relied on Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu to protect them. They finally realized they couldnt rely on Su Qing and Shuidheng to live a good life. They had to do their part.

Just as Su Qing was inspecting the situation in Mo City, she heard the systems mechanical voice,

Congratulations to the host for upgrading your forging to level 8 and your warG.o.d ability to level 89. You have been rewarded with a mortar blueprint.

Su Qing was furious. She had already made a mortar, and the system still rewarded her with a mortar blueprint. Su Qings voice was cold, and her eyes were frozen.

I dont think theres any need for you to exist anymore.

The system saw that Su Qing was angry and immediately recoiled. Its voice was as soft as a mosquito.

This is the reward automatically given by the system.

I dont want the blueprint. Give me 300 catties of gunpowder.

Su Qing bluntly stated her request, not giving the system a chance to explain.

Too many.

The system clicked its tongue. This host of his was too difficult to deal with, asking for 300 pounds with just one mouth. However, the host was angry, so it said carefully,

I can only give you 100 catties.

No.

I would spoil you this time. Youll have to bear my punishment if you dare to fool me.

I dont care what method you use; you must gather them.

Then youd better blow me up!

The system started to mess with her. It was sure that Su Qing wouldnt dare to blow him up. If she did, what would she use?

However, the system was wrong. Su Qing kept her word and activated the self-destruct program, scaring the system so much that its voice changed,

Ill think of a way, Ill think of a way.

Su Qings finger was about to touch the self-destruct sequence when she heard the system stop at the last second. There was only a piece of paper between her finger and the b.u.t.ton, and she almost pressed it.

The system was so scared that it became weak. It went to prepare the gunpowder with a pale face.

Su Qing went to the winery to brew wine after solving all the problems. She had to make the hundred jars of wine she had promised her uncles master as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would keep chasing her for debts.

Su Qing brewed wine in the winery for three days. In the blink of an eye, it was already the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, she had to eat noodles and tie the childs legs. Su Qing got up early in the morning and rolled out noodles to help tie the childs legs.

A soldier rushed over to report as soon as the noodles were rolled out.

Young Madam, theres an emergency military report from Luo City requesting reinforcements.

Su Qing hurriedly received the report from the courier. On it was Xiao Zeyus handwriting. He requested that Cheng Yu leave only a few of his soldiers to defend the city and the rest to come to Luo City as reinforcements. He also requested to bring more provisions.

Was the situation getting tense?

Su Qing frowned after reading it. The Wan Family Army was more challenging to fight than they had imagined.

Gather the troops.

Su Qing ordered that she would lead troops to Luo City to support Shuisheng.

She didnt take too many soldiers with her. If the enemy took advantage of the situation and invaded, they would lose their base camp.

This time, they took three mortars and five sh.e.l.ls that had been made. These were all made by Qin Tie and the head blacksmith over the past few days. They came in handy.

Su Qing led 100 soldiers. Three mortars and sh.e.l.ls were loaded on a cart and placed in the teams middle. The rations were at the front, and Su Qing sat in the carriage at the back to hold the line.

She did not ride a horse. Her body was made of iron, but the child in her stomach was not. She had to consider the safety of the child.

Along the way, they didnt encounter any ambushes. The Wan Family Army had used all their main forces to attack Luo City. The situation was fierce. Xiao Zeyu had already used up all his grenades, and not many Rolling Wood Thunder Stones were left. Not only did the Wan Family Army not retreat, but they also increased in numbers..
