Chapter 201 Your Majesty, I Hope You Know How to Be a Good Person
"A wooden cart? What's a wooden cart? Why is there no one driving it...?"
Yan Feibai's words stopped abruptly, and his eyes fell dully on a dog sitting upright in front of the car.
When the dog saw the two people approaching, it barked twice enthusiastically.
Yan Feibai was dumbfounded, and after a long while he managed to utter, "This dog... is quite human."
Yan Wanwan couldn't help laughing and waved to the dog: "Woof woof, come here!"
The dog immediately came running over and squatted obediently in front of Yan Wanwan, wagging its tail happily, and its round eyes were full of the desire for a hug.
Yan Wanwan squatted down, rubbed its head, and said with a smile: "You've worked hard on this trip, and you've done a good job. As a reward, I'll give you five big bones."
"Woof woof woof woof woof!" The dog was so excited that it was spinning in circles, and its barking became incoherent.
"Alright, alright, got it. Add some meat in addition to the bones." Yan Wanwan patted its head helplessly and scolded with a smile, "Look at you, you're so greedy, and you're still bargaining."
I don't know where she got the bones and meat from, but the dog happily enjoyed the delicious food.
Yan Feibai looked at Gou Zi, then at his daughter, and said hesitantly, "My daughter, who is this...?"
"Oh, its name is Wangwang, and it's used for driving." Yan Wanwan pointed at the Luban wooden cart, "This is it."
"Drive...a car?" Yan Feibai's voice suddenly rose eight octaves, his face full of disbelief.
I've seen people driving horse-drawn carriages, but this is the first time I've seen a dog driving a vehicle. It's something I've never seen before.
"Well, Wangwang is really good at controlling the direction. They are the ones who transport all the supplies in the forest."
"they?"
"Yes, dozens of dogs! The Luban wooden cart doesn't require manpower, only the direction needs to be controlled, which can provide better concealment and reduce the target size."
Yan Feibai was stunned and speechless for a long time.
He looked carefully at the peculiarly shaped wooden cart, then looked at Wangwang who was gnawing on a bone with relish, and felt that everything in front of him was beyond his cognition.
"This...this is unheard of." Yan Feibai murmured, "Girl, where did you learn these skills?"
Yan Wanwan smiled and didn't answer directly. Instead, she said, "Dad, do you want to try riding it? I guarantee it's much more stable than a carriage."
Yan Feibai hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist his curiosity and carefully stepped onto the wooden cart.
Seeing this, Wangwang immediately dropped the half-chewed bone and jumped nimbly into the driver's seat.
"Hold on tight." Yan Wanwan reminded, then snapped her fingers.
The wooden cart started slowly, a bit bumpy at first, but soon stabilized. Yan Feibai was surprised to find that it was not only faster than a horse-drawn carriage, but also almost silent. Wangwang sat upright in the front, turning his head from time to time to adjust the direction, like an experienced driver.
"It's amazing!" Yan Feibai couldn't help but admire, "If it were used on the battlefield..."
Before he could finish his words, he discovered a new world.
Yan Feibai lifted the heavy oilcloth covering the carriage, and before him were rows of cold, gleaming steel knives. The blades were razor-sharp, their blades gleaming with a chilling green light. He casually pulled one out, gently running his fingers over the blade, and felt a piercing chill.
Compared with the quality and craftsmanship of these weapons, the weapons used in their army are just crude scrap metal.
"My daughter! You are indeed daddy's sweet and caring little cotton-padded jacket. Where did you get these good things?" Yan Feibai touched those things preciously. Although there were not many in one car, what if there were more than ten cars?
"I gave some to Qin Yu before, didn't you know?"
Yan Feibai immediately blew his beard and glared, "What? That kid actually ate alone, it seems that the beating he gave him before was not too lenient."
Yan Wanwan couldn't help laughing. It turned out that Qin Yu had been beaten without her knowing!
While cursing Qin Yu, Yan Feibai continued to scan the area and suddenly found a peculiarly shaped cannon in the depths of the carriage. The cannon body was black with a metallic luster and the muzzle was thick. It was obviously a heavy weapon with great lethality.
"This is..." Yan Feibai's voice trembled a little, and his eyes were full of shock.
Yan Wanwan walked forward, patted the cannon gently, and said with a smile: "Dad, do you want to try its power?"
Before Yan Feibai could answer, Yan Wanwan had already taken action and aimed the artillery at a hilltop.
Adjusting the muzzle, loading the ammunition, and lighting the fuse—all the movements were done in one smooth, seamless motion. With a loud boom, a streak of fire erupted from the muzzle, and the shell streaked through the air, heading straight for the distant mountaintop.
A moment later, a deafening explosion was heard in the distance, smoke and dust rose up, and the entire mountain was blown to pieces, with debris flying everywhere, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart.
Yan Feibai stood in place, feeling the ground beneath his feet shaking slightly and his ears buzzing. He was unable to recover for a long time, and the hill in front of him was actually flattened.
"This... the power of this artillery is so terrifying!" he murmured, with shock and a hint of excitement that was hard to conceal in his eyes.
Yan Wanwan put away her smile and asked seriously, "Dad, with all this, is that feasible?"
"Okay! We must do it." Yan Feibai said without hesitation. His daughter had already prepared food and weapons, and it seemed unreasonable not to resist.
He looked up at the flattened hill in the distance, and a long-lost surge of blood welled up in his heart.
Perhaps, this battle really needs to be fought.
Yan Wanwan and the other person rushed back to Nanping Prefecture exhausted. As soon as they stepped into the gate of the County Lady's Mansion, they saw Eunuch Wu and several guards standing in the courtyard with solemn expressions.
When Eunuch Wu saw the two return, he bowed slightly, with an inquiring look on his face: "Prince of Zhennan, I wonder what your relationship with County Master Yan is. Why are you looking for the County Master right after you return?"
Yan Feibai said truthfully, "Eunuch Wu may not know that Wanwan is the naughty little daughter in the family."
Eunuch Wu was surprised. "Is that so? County Master Yan, why have you never mentioned this?"
Yan Feibai explained, "Eunuch Wu, this is not my daughter's fault. She didn't know my identity before, and she just found out."
"There is such a thing?" Eunuch Wu obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't say anything else. Instead, he directly conveyed the emperor's order.
"County Lady, Prince Zhennan, the Emperor has issued an oral order, requesting Prince Zhennan to enter the palace immediately to see Him."
Yan Feibai frowned slightly, but his face remained calm. He bowed and said, "I obey your command."
Yan Wanwan's heart tightened, and her eyes swept over the expressionless guards behind Eunuch Wu, and her fingers unconsciously clenched her sleeves.
She took a step forward, her tone calm but with a hint of tentativeness: "Eunuch Wu, the emperor summoned my father, is there something urgent?"
Eunuch Wu smiled, his tone respectful yet distant: "The county lady is worrying too much. The emperor simply has something to discuss with the Prince of Zhennan, and specially invited the prince to the palace to discuss it."
Yan Wanwan sneered inwardly. Discuss? I'm afraid it's the Hongmen Banquet.
Yan Feibai patted the back of her hand gently and whispered, "It's okay, Dad will be back soon."
Before he finished speaking, the imperial guards came forward and "invited" Yan Feibai into a carriage.
Yan Wanwan stood there, watching the carriage go further and further away, a sharp glint in her eyes: "Pass the order down, and be on standby at any time."
Your Majesty, I hope you know how to behave, otherwise... I can only teach you myself.
