Chapter 760 Mohist Family
Xiao Tingshan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Mr. Mo is truly a genius! This device will surely benefit our Daqian!"
Mo Xiu stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Your Highness, thank you for your compliment. It is indeed your Sixth Prince's brilliant idea. I am just putting your idea into practice."
That’s right, since he didn’t get any benefit from the bow and crossbow last time, Xiao Tingshan started to study other weapons.
Fortunately, he had Mo Xiu, the favorite disciple of the Mo family, under his command. He put a lot of thought into winning this man over to become his disciple. Therefore, Mo Xiu spent a lot of time and finally put his ideas on paper.
This time, he envisioned a chariot crossbow. On top of the siege vehicle, three-meter-high shields were erected on all four sides, with soldiers hiding behind them.
In front of the shield are several crossbows.
Soldiers can not only use shields as cover and thrust out their spears, but they can also control crossbows.
Wherever it passed, the chariot crossbow was like a huge killing weapon, or like a walking monster.
However, it is not easy to realize this chariot crossbow. After all, all weapons have their strengths and weaknesses, and it is extremely difficult to achieve both offensive and defensive capabilities.
Just as heavy cavalry has great destructive power, but is not as maneuverable and flexible as light cavalry.
Therefore, for the chariot crossbow to be able to achieve both offensive and defensive capabilities is already a major breakthrough.
"Immediately arrange for the craftsmen to manufacture this chariot crossbow in the shortest possible time!" Xiao Tingshan's eyes were full of anticipation.
As long as he can make this device and present it to his father, he will surely be able to please his father.
Ever since his identity was exposed, others have only seen his glamour, but only he himself knows that this is unreasonable.
What's unreasonable about it?
Of course, he was a prince, but he was treated coldly for more than ten years. When he returned to the orthodox throne, he only received some gold, silver and land as compensation.
As for the affairs of the court, his father did not give him any position or assign him any tasks.
Xiao Tingshan didn't know whether it was because he cared about his body or something else. Anyway, apart from the title of a prince, his house, food, clothing and other expenses were comparable to those of a prince, but everything else seemed to be no different from before.
This made Xiao Tingshan very uneasy, as he felt that he was excluded from the center of power.
But since God has given him such an opportunity, he absolutely cannot sit and wait for death. He is the real man of destiny, and he will definitely seize the opportunity!

On the second day of the pre-examination, Shen Shuyi also received good news.
Zhao Baokun rode over on his horse, his eyes full of joy.
"Cousin, my uncle said he received news that he has found the person you are looking for - Mo, Mo Yu!"
Shen Shuyi didn't expect that his uncle would move so quickly, and couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Where is he?"
"This man is really cunning. My uncle saw that you were looking for him, so he simply kidnapped him. In an hour, you can reach the capital."
Hearing this, Shen Shuyi looked strange.
Kidnapped Mo Yu?
Must he have been cursing all the way?
Tsk, it’s really hard for those who escorted him...
Coincidentally, Jiuchou sent a message some time ago, saying that Xiao Tingshan had recruited a mechanical sorcerer from the Mohist school named Mo Xiu.
Shen Shuyi had some impression of this person, as Xiao Tingshan had also used him in his previous life.
Mo Xiu is considered an orthodox Mohist with decent skills, but things like mechanical arts and mathematics also require talent.
Mo Xiu can indeed be considered talented. After all, how could someone who was chosen by the Mo family be just an ordinary person?
But compared to Mo Yu, the young genius who came from a side branch, he was still far inferior.
It's just that Mo Yu has a bad temper and is extremely annoying when he talks. In addition, he acts arrogantly and recklessly, which can be said to be a headache for the Mo family.
To the law-abiding Mo Xiu, people like Mo Yu are heretics, so Mo Yu can be regarded as an outlier in the Mo family.
Similarly, because they were afraid that this outlier would surpass orthodox Mohists like Mo Xiu, the Mohist school suppressed him, and Mo Yu thus rebelled against the Mohist school.
However, people with skills will never starve to death no matter where they go.
Mo Yu was often short of money, so he would take on some trivial jobs. When he earned enough money, he would go to some remote mountain forest to study some strange things in seclusion.
In this way, it can be said that the whereabouts are mysterious.

An hour later, Shen Shuyi and Zhao Baokun arrived at the base of Jiuchou and others.
I didn't have to wait too long before I saw a man in his early twenties, tied up and with a rag stuffed in his mouth, being thrown in.
Even though he had expected this, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw this scene.
Mo Yu was thrown to the ground. The person in charge stepped forward and said, "Princess, this fellow is really cunning, full of hidden weapons, and has a bad mouth. Many of our brothers have been injured by him, and we can't stand his mouth, so we resorted to this desperate measure!"
After saying that, Zhao Baokun stepped forward and pulled the rag out of Mo Yu's mouth.
Mo Yu's eyes widened as he was thrown to the ground. He tilted his head to look at Shen Shuyi and started to curse: "Fuck you, you immortal boss! Did I dig up your ancestral grave or sleep with your daughter? You guys, worse than pigs and dogs, actually dared to tie me up. If you have the guts, let me go. Today, I will let you know why the flowers are so red..."
Shen Shu couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene.
It really feels familiar.
Mo Yu's chatterbox is really driving people crazy.
Shen Shuyi was still calm, but the others couldn't stand it. Jiuchou immediately picked up the Kanglong Mace and walked towards Mo Yu.
The other men who were sharpening their swords also stopped what they were doing, gripped their weapons tightly, and walked towards this side.
Mo Yu was lying on the ground, and was acutely aware of the darkness all around him. A group of tall and strong men suddenly approached him, making him look weak, helpless and pitiful...
It was a pity that his hands and feet were tied and he couldn't do anything, so he just shut up.
Shen Shuyi smiled and didn't care.
"I want to discuss a business deal with you. You work for me, and in the future I will help you become an orthodox Mohist." Shen Shuyi picked up the teacup and went straight to the point.
In her previous life, she spent a lot of effort to subdue Mo Yu. Later she found out that Mo Yu's father was also a legitimate member of the Mo family, but he was assassinated and demoted to a side branch.
Logically, Mo Yu should call the Mo cultivator next to Xiao Tingshan "Uncle", but unfortunately, there were a lot of dirty things within the Mo family back then.
Shen Shuyi's words hit Mo Yu.
Mo Yu immediately raised his eyes to look at her: "Who are you? How do you know? What is your purpose! Do you know that when you ask for help, you should be hospitable? Is this your attitude?"
"Miss, this man is so nagging. It would be better to cut off his tongue! At least it would be good to keep his hands so that he can do things!" Jinzhu couldn't help but speak.
When Mo Yu heard this, his pupils shrank slightly and he looked at Jin Zhu, thinking that when he was free, he would use a hidden arrow to shoot this vicious girl into a sieve!
