At the same time, within the Yun Manor in the capital...
"Is this the finished product?" Tu Qingdong looked at the warship blueprints in his hand with extreme caution, almost jumping with excitement.
Little Xi Tian nodded slightly, unsure, "There are still many areas that need improvement, and the details need to be redone..."
Building warships was incredibly expensive, with manpower and resources pouring into it like a flowing stream.
Therefore, Little Xi Tian had not made the warships too complex from the outset, to avoid causing trouble for the craftsmen when they began construction...
Tu Qingdong chuckled, "As long as it's designed by the County Princess, it's bound to be exceptionally practical. I will head to the palace immediately to show the blueprints to His Majesty. If there are no issues, I will begin shipbuilding..."
It seemed that asking the young County Princess for help back then was the right decision.
If it were anyone else, let alone warship blueprints, he wouldn't even be able to design tables and chairs.
Little Xi Tian heard him and reached out to take back the blueprints, "Minister Tu, these blueprints still need some refinement. Please don't be in a hurry..."
Tu Qingdong was as anxious as a monkey, unable to wait even for a quarter of an hour.
"County Princess, although this is just a preliminary design, the deadline of one month is fast approaching. I want His Majesty to see it!~" Tu Qingdong explained with a smile.
If he failed to deliver, his entire family would be in trouble...
Moreover, he had heard in the past few days that His Majesty was in a bad mood and was particularly irritable.
At this critical juncture, if Tu Qingdong messed things up, he would have to go to the northern frontier to farm sweet potatoes for the rest of his life...
Little Xi Tian pursed her lips, about to say something, when Steward Li suddenly walked in, "County Princess, we have a guest!~"
Little Xi Tian: "???"
Who could it be now?
"Let the guest in!" Little Xi Tian poured herself a glass of water and took a gentle sip.
A moment later, Xiao Junbao led Murong Qing, Shangguan Fang'er, and Liang Qinghuan into the room...
At this time, the young monk and Xiao Jinheng were taking a nap and were not in the study. Only Little Xi Tian and Tu Qingdong were present.
The moment she saw Murong Qing, Little Xi Tian's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Sister Murong!~"
As she spoke, she stepped forward and took Shangguan Fang'er's hand, "Sister Fang'er, you're back?"
Xiao Junbao's efficiency was truly remarkable; he had rescued them so quickly...
"Sweetie, long time no see!" Shangguan Fang'er's eyes were filled with smiles as she crouched down and tidied Little Xi Tian's clothes.
Murong Qing was equally happy. She stepped forward, bowed to Steward Li, and then formally introduced Murong Taotao to Little Xi Tian, "This is my younger brother. Xi Tian, you can call him Taotao from now on..."
Having met him before in Heyang County, Little Xi Tian didn't feel like a stranger.
"Hello, Brother Taotao!~" Little Xi Tian greeted him crisply.
Murong Taotao grunted and glanced at the blueprints on the table...
Murong Qing had also clearly noticed the blueprints. The siblings instinctively walked over and picked them up to examine them.
Little Xi Tian, on the other hand, looked at Liang Qinghuan with curiosity, her head filled with question marks.
Who was this woman?
Seeing her beautiful and dignified appearance and extraordinary demeanor, she must be someone remarkable...
Xiao Junbao said with a half-smile, "Her name is Liang Qinghuan. We met her in Yan Country. Sister Fang'er said she plans to bring her to live in Heyang County!~"
Little Xi Tian scratched her face upon hearing this, and just as she was about to say something, Murong Taotao tapped the blueprints with his hand, "Who designed this?"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't touch it carelessly..."
Tu Qingdong, afraid that Murong Taotao would damage the blueprints, quickly stepped forward to snatch them back and gently blew on them, "The County Princess stayed up late almost every day to design this blueprint, not even sleeping well. What if you damage it?"
Murong Taotao: "......"
Do I look like someone who is careless and reckless?
"Little Sister Xi Tian, this blueprint has some minor flaws and needs refinement!~" Murong Taotao said calmly.
Little Xi Tian responded with a hum, "It seems you're an expert..."
People who transmigrated were indeed different; they could spot problems at a glance.
Murong Qing pulled Little Xi Tian over and pointed to a spot on the blueprint, "Xi Tian, look here. The dimensions seem much smaller. If you want to place weapons like cannons, it definitely won't be enough!"
Murong Taotao also added, "This warship blueprint is almost the same as those from Yan Country, but if you want to ensure self-preservation, you need to put more effort into propulsion and armor!"
The warships of Yan Country were almost all designed by Murong Taotao himself. He couldn't be more familiar with these things...
With the siblings' guidance, Little Xi Tian finally understood.
No wonder she felt something was not quite right with the blueprints; it turned out there were issues...
Tu Qingdong stood by the side, completely dumbfounded.
Had he heard correctly? This young lady actually uttered the words 'cannons'.
It was important to note that the entire Daliang Kingdom, including the army, did not possess cannons...
Tu Qingdong had only learned about such weapons after the young County Princess mentioned them.
And that young boy, how could he understand shipbuilding technology at such a young age?
How many celestial beings were hidden within the Yun Manor...
"Minister Tu!~"
Seeing Tu Qingdong frozen in place, Little Xi Tian couldn't help but chuckle, "You can't give this blueprint to His Majesty yet. Give me two more days to revise it!"
If the Emperor discovered the problems and flaws, Minister Tu would still be in trouble...
This time, Tu Qingdong did not refuse but nodded repeatedly, "Alright, alright, I will do as the County Princess arranges!~"
After Xiao Jinheng woke up, he came to the study, greeted everyone, and then pulled Xiao Junbao aside separately.
"Jinheng, what are you doing? Don't pull and tug like that; it's not good if someone sees!" Xiao Junbao said with a look of disdain.
Xiao Jinheng: "......"
Although you are as beautiful as a celestial being and breathtakingly beautiful, you are still a man. Don't always treat yourself like an unmarried maiden, okay?
"What did you discover on this trip to Yan Country?" Xiao Jinheng asked directly.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Junbao pouted, "I'm only responsible for rescuing people. For other matters, you should ask Miss Murong..."
Murong Qing had photographed Emperor Ming's invasion plan in the Yan Country imperial palace.
This plan also included detailed invasion routes and attack times.
As long as it was handed over to Emperor Cheng, Daliang Kingdom could prepare in advance and make defenses, allowing the people to suffer less...
"Why should I ask her?" Xiao Jinheng was curious.
Xiao Junbao sighed, "Because she knows more than I do. Is that enough? Let's go, let's go. I need to go back to the palace for a beauty sleep and also to give the gifts I bought to my mother."
After saying that, Xiao Junbao yawned and left.
