The craftsmen have been working hard these days, and some are so tired that they doze off while working.

When they heard that they could go to bed early tonight and get rewards, everyone immediately became energetic, and the younger ones even cheered.

After saluting Xiao Xuan and Chun Yuyi, the craftsmen left one after another, and soon they were the only two people left in the warehouse.

Xiao Xuan said: "Chun Yu Xiaomu, no matter how urgent the matter is, you have to let people rest.

Being overtired is not only inefficient, but also prone to accidents."

"But...but I didn't force them, they all stayed voluntarily..."

"Most of these craftsmen are locals from Yanmen County and have been harassed by the Northern Rong cavalry for generations.

I heard that these serial crossbows were made to resist the Beirong cavalry, so of course they were willing to contribute.

And if you, a thin and small leader, are working so hard, how can they have the nerve to rest?"

Chunyu Yi looked at the serial crossbow in the corner and said with some regret: "I originally planned to make two hundred of them, but it seems I was too greedy."

"One hundred and twenty is already impressive. The shooting skills of the Wei cavalry are not inferior to those of the Beirong people. Even if the number of serial crossbows is not enough, they will still be driven away. You don't have to worry."

Chunyu Yi looked at his confident expression and swallowed back all the words she wanted to say.

Both her father and Han Zhi said that she was too thoughtful, which would not only crush herself, but might also affect others.

It seems she needs to change this problem!

"What are you still doing? Let's go!" Xiao Xuan took her arm and they walked out of the warehouse together.

Chunyu Yi didn't speak during the whole journey. When she returned to Xiao Xuan's tent, she stopped and looked up at him: "Young Marshal, you will go on an expedition tomorrow morning. I wish you a speedy victory."

"By Xiaomu's words, this general will definitely defeat the Beirong people, but..."

"I know what you are going to say, don't worry, I will continue to build the serial crossbow, but it won't be like this time."

"Aren't you fooling me?"

Chunyu Yi raised his hand and said with a smile: "I promise to do what I say, otherwise I will let the young commander punish me!"

Perhaps her smile was too warm, Xiao Xuan felt a warm breeze blowing through his heart, feeling indescribably comfortable and carefree.

He smiled and said: "Chun Yu Xiaomu, go back and rest quickly. If you get tired and sick, I won't be able to explain to your father and my grandfather."

"Then I'll go back first, and you can rest early."

Xiao Xuan waved his hand and watched her leave.

Just at this moment, two heads sneaked out of the camp.

Xiao Xuan looked away and saw the two boys looking at him with "unintentional" smiles on their faces.

"You two are so ridiculous!" He walked over quickly and kicked the two of them back to the tent.

Yan Xin rubbed his thighs and said bitterly: "Master, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, hesitantly like a big girl."

Xiao Xuan was too lazy to pay attention to him and walked directly to the table filled with food.

He indeed had many things to say to Chunyu Xiaomu, but the time was not yet ripe.

This expedition lasts for at least one month and up to two months, which is enough time for the two of them to sort everything out, and it will not be too late to make a decision by then.

※※※※

Chunyu Yi was so sleepy that she slept until the afternoon of the next day.

She got out of bed with some annoyance.

The scene of tens of thousands of cavalry going out to battle was so spectacular, she actually missed it!

After tidying herself up, she went to the kitchen to get some food, and happened to meet Yan Xin on her way back.

"Xiaomu, have you just gotten up?" Yanxin looked at the food on her tray and asked with a smile.

"What about you? Are you going to see the young commander off for the expedition?" Chunyu Yi asked.

"Yes, I think my martial arts skills are too poor, so I only take Brother Qingye with me every time I go on an expedition. By the way, have you ever seen a large army go on an expedition before?"

Chunyu Yi shook his head.

Yan Xin said with some regret: "I wanted to call you this morning, but I said you were too sleepy and wouldn't let me go, but..."

He looked around and said with a smile: "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, right?"

Chunyu Yi picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it directly into Yan Xin's mouth: "I think you are dizzy from hunger. You are talking nonsense!"

Yan Xin laughed and ran away.

After lunch, an unexpected person came to Xiao Xuan's camp - Shi Ke, the old Duke's personal soldier.

Yan Xin did not dare to neglect, and immediately went to invite Chunyu Yi over after asking about his purpose.

"Miss Chunyu." Shi Ke saluted with clasped fists.

Chunyu Yi said hurriedly: "Uncle Shi, there is no need to be polite. What do you want from me?"

"Old Duke, please come over."

"Please let me come over..." Chun Yuyi was a little nervous.

She had heard the conversation between her father and the old man that day. What would be the intention of the old man suddenly calling her over today?

Shi Ke smiled and said: "Don't worry, big lady, the old man just wants to have a casual chat with you."

Chunyu Yi didn't hesitate anymore and followed him to the big tent.

"Old Duke, Ding Xiaomu has arrived." Shi Ke reported outside the door.

"Let her come in." The old man's voice sounded very happy.

Chunyu Yi took a deep breath and walked in slowly.

She thought she could see her father, but she didn't expect that there was only Mr. Xiao in the big tent.

Old Duke Xiao smiled very understandingly and said: "Your father went to treat an old injury of one of my old brothers and will come back later."

Chunyu Yi hurriedly saluted: "My little daughter has met the old Duke."

"No need to be polite, just find a place to sit by yourself." Old Duke Xiao smiled and nodded.

After learning that Chun Yuyi stayed up late to build a serial crossbow, he looked forward to the marriage even more.

Huan Jinsu has an eye for treasure, and he fell in love with his Xiao Jiu at a glance. Could it be that he, Xiao Yuanduo, is blind?

He couldn't believe that Xiao Wu wouldn't be tempted by such a good girl!

Chunyu Yi found a chair and sat down, then heard Xiao Laogong ask: "Is your body still able to bear the stress after staying up all night to make the serial crossbow?"

"Thank you, old man, for your concern. I'm fine."

"You kid has such a strong temper, I won't dare to do this again in the future."

"yes."

Old Duke Xiao stroked his long beard and said, "Xiaomu, has Xiaowu been disrespectful to you in the past few days?"

Chunyu Yi said: "The young marshal takes good care of my little girl and doesn't look down on me."

"So are you worried about his expedition this time?"

"This..." Chunyu Yi's face turned red.

The old man's question was too explicit. How should she answer it?

"Alas -" Old Duke Xiao caressed his forehead and sighed deliberately: "It's all my fault. I have been watching Xiaowu practice martial arts and military training for these years, and I don't understand anything else!"

"Old Duke, please don't say that. The young commander has outstanding abilities and a cheerful personality. He is already good enough."

"What you see is just the surface. Xiaowu is a kid with a stronger temper than you. He swallows all the hardships and never lets others worry about him."

"Old Duke..."
