Chapter 269: Slapping Faces
"In that case, Yue will return to report to the Emperor, Prince, farewell.""Lord Chancellor, please."……The Dongyue Escort arrived at the Xi Ming Palace, and Su Ziyì carried Su Qingying onto the soft b...These people were almost the most skilled artisans in Beiling. It was inevitable that they would be arrogant. Even before she said those words, she had anticipated that someone would disagree. However, she didn't make a fuss. She just smiled and glanced sideways at the old man, "Mo Xuan, send out the design drawings."
Mo Hyun nodded silently and handed out his drawings to each craftsman.
"Ah! This, this is..." When everyone received the drawing, they still showed disdain and contempt. But when they saw the design drawn on the paper and the small words labeled beside it, their expressions changed drastically. They all widened their eyes and screamed in disbelief.
His hand holding the drawing trembled uncontrollably, and everyone stared at Su Qingying in shock, speechless for a long time, their excitement reaching its peak.
Looking at Su Qingying again, their eyes had all changed. They didn't dare to look down on her anymore.
"My goodness, what a clever design!" the crowd exclaimed in unison.
"In my lifetime, to see such a masterful and exquisite design, I would die without regret." After being slapped in the face, the old man didn't care at all, he was only moved to tears, holding her blueprints with reverence like a treasured artifact.
"Your Highness, these...these are all your own designs" The gazes of the crowd fixed upon her were fervent, worshipful, and awestruck.
"Naturally." Her red lips curled into a slight smile as Su Qingying generously admitted, "How is it You've all seen the design drawings. Are you confident you can design them"
"Yes, yes, yes! I am willing to serve the Princess!" Such a brilliant and ingenious design, only an idiot would refuse. They all wished they could start right now.
"Alright, I look forward to your performance. However, what this princess needs is not just one part, I need mass production, thousands of sets produced in the shortest possible time. Therefore, it also means that you will have a period of time when you cannot go home and must live here. Are you willing" With the imminent war in Dongyue, she had to race against time, striving to complete her designated goal as quickly as possible, absolutely no more wasted time.
"Willingly, not just for a while but even forever, we are willing to stay here!" Everyone nodded vigorously, each one looking like they were energized, eyes gleaming with determination and fighting spirit.
"Very well, this princess will personally teach you the method of smelting." Su Qingying nodded in satisfaction.
Upon hearing this, the crowd was once again shocked and asked in disbelief, “Your Highness, can you also refine”
"Well." What nonsense, how could she possibly design these blueprints without understanding metallurgy!
"Alright, let's get to work."
……
After several days of tireless work by Su Qingying and the other craftsmen, they finally managed to build hundreds of gliders in the shortest possible time. Su Qingying and the others were so busy that they didn't even have time to sit down and have a cup of hot tea.
From Junliye's ranks, Su Qingying carefully selected over three thousand elite soldiers suitable for flight. She gathered them all in a clearing and, before their eyes, demonstrated the operation of the glider in detail.
Ignoring the shocked expressions of the crowd, Su Qingying slowly got off the glider and walked straight to them. She glanced at their faces nonchalantly, raised an eyebrow, and smiled: "This is just how a glider is used. I've demonstrated it already. It's very simple. Did you all understand"
"Understood, Your Highness!" The elite soldiers nodded excitedly, their eyes gleaming with anticipation. They were eager to get into action, wanting to experience the thrill of flight firsthand. After all, in this era, they had never seen anyone fly freely in the sky.
"Alright, now form groups of six. Follow me, and don't fall behind." They had already wasted a lot of time; they needed to hurry to Yunming Mountain and get that batch of sulfur!
“Yes!” The crowd quickly divided into groups and waited for Su Qingying to give the order.
Huan Yuan Rong Fei ran over and tugged at Su Qing Ying's sleeve, "Master, I want to go too."
"You must be missing home," Su Qingying said nonchalantly, her gaze piercing through her and reading her thoughts.
Nodding, Xuan Yuan Rong Fei didn't deny it either, her face a little wistful, "Well, no matter what, Ximing is after all my hometown. If I pass this time, I don't know if I'll have another chance to go back and see it."
Since she secretly left the palace for Dongyue last time, she hasn't gone back to visit. Even when she was married off by her older brother last time, she left from the border of Dongyue.
After so long, she truly missed her hometown.
"Alright, you follow me. We're a team now." Taking one more person wasn't a big deal at all, Su Qingying readily agreed.
"Yes!" Xuen Yuan Rongfei beamed with joy, jumping up and down excitedly. She immediately scrambled onto the hang glider beside her.
Su Qingying leisurely followed behind her, climbed onto the wingbar of the glider, and said, "Everyone in position! Let's go!"
At the command, everyone almost simultaneously dashed away and then leaped high into the air.
After another seven or eight days, Su Qingying lay on the glider, overlooking the scene below. After seeing the familiar scene from her memory, her phoenix eyes lit up immediately, and she flew ahead first, "Did you see it Yunming Mountain is just ahead, everyone follow me to land, be careful, one by one."
Everyone followed her, maneuvering their gliders to land one by one. Before they even got close, a sickening stench hit them, causing their faces to contort in disgust and almost making them vomit up last night's dinner!
Everyone couldn't help but question, had they flown to the wrong place
Unlike everyone else who steered clear, a certain woman soared down the slide and dashed to the front in a flash. Her phoenix eyes practically glowed green, “My darlings! I’m here to get you, haha! Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you all play your biggest roles!”
"They just wouldn't understand her excitement!"
Wiping away nonexistent drool from the corner of her mouth, Su Qingying smiled sweetly and said, "Everyone, be quick! Pack up this sulfur as fast as you can. We're returning to Beiling immediately!"
"Yes!" There's no other way, no matter how ugly they are, they can only grit their teeth and go through with it.
Everyone carefully loaded the small mountain of sulfur into specially brought bags, and securely fastened them to the glider.
In a short while, under Su Qingying's direction, all the sulfur was cleaned up completely.
"Are they all ready"
"My Queen, everything is ready!"
Okay, let's head back!
Hundreds of gliders took off one after another, flying back to Beiling with the sulfurous fumes.
After several more days, Su Qingying and the others returned, covered in dust and grime.
"Wow! Sister-in-law, what is this It stinks to death! What did you bring these back for" Jun Jinghong wrinkled her nose and sniffed from afar.
"Hehehe, don't look down on them just because they smell bad, but in a critical moment, they can turn the tide of the whole battle! This is the secret weapon I'm going to use against Shang Jianren and Xuanyuan Locheng!" Su Qingying cherished them dearly, not at all bothered by their stench, her eyes sparkling with delight. Qingying’s hand, her tongue lolling out.Gazing at this scene, Bi'er was so frightened that she couldn't move. Thinking of Lan Feiyu's daily abuse towards her, her eyes flickered, and she just lowered...
