Chapter 844: Taller, more handsome and more sensible than him
When Shen Shuyi left the Shen Mansion, he heard that his grandmother was furious and punished Liang Wanjun to kneel in the ancestral hall and was not allowed to visit her.
In addition, a nanny was placed next to her to monitor her words and actions, to prevent her from having any inappropriate thoughts and causing trouble in front of Shen Shuhan.
After returning to Xie's house, Shen Shuyi thought of the good things Xie Jingchi had done, and immediately wrote a reply letter.
Of course, most of the content in the beginning is about serious matters, such as the current situation in the court, Emperor Qianwu's health, and Xiao Tingshan's use and design of the Li clan.
As it had only been a few days since he replied to his letter, there was not much to write. Thinking of the accusations in his letter, Shen Shuyi became a little unserious and simply told him directly that his guess was right, she did have an adulterer, and that was why she was partying every night and was too busy to have time to reply to his letter.
In addition, she also advised him to be sensible and well-behaved and not to complain to Shen Shuhan again.
Besides, the adulterer was taller, more handsome, and more sensible than him, and he could also make her happy.
Just after finishing the letter, Shen Shuyi received good news.
Mo Yu worked non-stop for nearly half a month and actually designed the chariot crossbow.
Shen Shuyi looked at the blueprint of the chariot crossbow and could only understand the general idea. After all, she was not an expert in this field. However, looking at the delicate composition and detailed data on it really made her feel good.
"How long will it take to make it?" Shen Shuyi asked.
"Jiang Li and the others are already urging the reconstruction, and the young master from the Marquis's Mansion has also gone to help. It probably won't take too long." Jin Zhu replied.
Shen Shuyi nodded, but he felt that even if this thing was made, it would not be easy to transport it to the border.
Thinking of this, Shen Shuyi said, "Let Mo Yu disassemble the blueprints and build the most core and critical parts in the capital. Draw blueprints for other places and let the soldiers on the border build them. Finally, assemble the two parts."
"Yes."
Shen Shuyi thought that there were enough soldiers at the border, so it would naturally be faster if they were to build it.
As long as the most important things are in Daqian's hands, he is not afraid of anything else. Otherwise, the journey is long and there is no telling what kinds of variables may arise during the transportation.
If things fall apart by then, it would be a small matter, but missing the opportunity to fight would be a big deal.
"Let them flatter Mo Yu." Shen Shuyi collected his thoughts and spoke again.
"Yes." Jin Zhu couldn't help but laugh: "When Mo Yu heard this, he would probably get up immediately and think he could fight for another three days and three nights!"
Shen Shuyi looked at Jinzhu, feeling that what she said was so inappropriate.
Is this girl corrupt, or am I just thinking the wrong thing?
Shen Shuyi shook his head and said with a smile: "Mo Yu is just a child who has not grown up. We can't completely ignore him, nor can we control him blindly. Sometimes he feels very proud when we stroke his hair."
Jinzhu ran away smiling.

Three days later, early in the morning.
As soon as Shen Shuyi woke up, he received news that the Liangzhou army was defeated and 50,000 troops were lost!
"Is the news true?" Shen Shuyi frowned, not caring about sleeping anymore. He put on some clothes and went to the study to check the map of Liangzhou and Yuanxia.
"It is absolutely true. I think the battle report will be delivered to Your Majesty at the morning court today." Agate responded.
Calculating the time, both Mr. Lian Cheng and Li Ye have probably not arrived yet. If the poison in the waters around Liangzhou is still there, the soldiers are still poisoned and will have difficulty fighting Yuan Xia.
What's more, this news was released five days ago, and no one knows what changes have occurred in the past few days.
But no matter what, 50,000 soldiers is not a small number.
If fifty thousand soldiers really died, I am afraid that their war god prince Canglang King would also be to blame.
But the Wolf King has been through hundreds of battles and is very experienced. How could he possibly lead 50,000 sick and weak troops to fight against Yuan Xia?
Under normal circumstances, if the forces of the two sides are uneven, then Daqian should focus more on defense and guarding the city. How can Yuanxia wipe out Daqian's 50,000 troops?
Shen Shuyi looked at the map on the table and gradually calmed down.
Unfortunately, she couldn't get the battle report at the moment and couldn't know the details. However, in the Liangzhou area, in addition to the powerful Tiger Army under the command of the Wolf King, there were also local defenders of Liangzhou. If they refused to fight, they would not lose 50,000 soldiers.
If the city was breached by Yuan Xia, the news should not only mention the loss of 50,000 soldiers, but also the fall of Liangzhou City.
After this analysis, there are only two situations.
One possibility is that these 50,000 soldiers responded hastily to the battle and were wiped out by Yuan Xia.
Another possibility is that the Wolf King has other plans and plans to raid or ambush the Yuanxia army. As for the outcome... it is unknown.
Shen Shuyi sat at the table and thought for a long time, until the sky was bright, Shen Shuyi said: "Go ask Mo Yu if he can get a crossbow today."
Based on her understanding of Xiao Tingshan, he would definitely take out the bed crossbow made by Mo Xiu at this time.
In this way, when there is a great victory in the battle of Liangzhou in the future, he will always have a share of the military merit, and his interests can be maximized.
Half an hour later, Qin Xin came back from outside: "Madam, Jiang Li was able to assemble a chariot crossbow, but the details are not yet completed."
Shen Shuyi curled her lips: "The details are not important."
The details that Mo Yu pursues are different from those of others. The details he pursues are purely for the purpose of bluffing.
For example, paint the crossbow with beautiful colors, draw totems on it, or arm the car body with metal, striving for exquisiteness and beauty.
But time is tight, so there's nothing wrong with this thing being a little rough.
After a while, Manju came in from outside: "As Miss expected, there is news from the Sixth Prince's Mansion that His Highness intends to attend the court despite his illness."
"Hmph, if you want to please His Majesty, Xiao Tingshan, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you again." Shen Shuyi raised the corners of his lips.
"But Miss, how do we... present the things to His Majesty?" Yuping couldn't help but ask. After all, they had no chance to attend court.
Shen Shu thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Go find my father."
She thought about it and decided that it would be most appropriate for Shen Jingchuan to propose this idea. After all, Bao Kun was too young, and his grandfather and uncle were far away in Yancheng.
Minister Wang and others are civil servants and are not suitable, and the people under her control have not yet made their mark in the court.
Therefore, Shen Jingchuan is more suitable.
What's more, Shen Jingchuan is her father after all. Only by him can he legitimately bring her out, and maybe she will have the opportunity to meet Emperor Qianwu in the court.
Thinking of this, Shen Shuyi said, "Let's go see father."
When Shen Shuyi arrived, it was already quite late. Shen Jingchuan was just leaving the gate of the Shen Mansion and preparing to get in the car.
Seeing her coming, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Sister Yi, this is..."
Shen Shuyi pulled Shen Jingchuan aside and whispered, "Dad, Liangzhou lost 50,000 soldiers and horses. I think His Majesty will be furious in the morning court. Today, His Majesty the Sixth Prince will present an item. This item is called a bed crossbow..."
