The Empress Dowager

Chapter 407 Disguise
As soon as Nangong Yue came back, she began to draw drawings for making crossbows. Nangong Yue thought of Han crossbows.

It took Nangong Yue a whole night to draw the schematic diagram of the bow and crossbow, and write down the materials to be made one by one. The bow and crossbow of this era are relatively cumbersome, and the range is far less than this kind of crossbow, and the most important thing is It saves effort.

On the second day, Nangong Yue dressed up in disguise, took Dongmei with the drawings, and went to find a reliable carpenter. This place was some distance away from the city. Murong Yu asked Xianying to drive Nangong Yue out in a carriage. Nangong Yue did not refuse.

The carriage drove for about an hour, and then arrived in the city. There was no one on the street. Occasionally, a small shop was open. Nangong Yue got off the carriage and went to the shop to ask the shopkeeper, where is the iron shop?
The shopkeeper was a 41-year-old man who enthusiastically told Nangong Yue where the iron shop was located.

The iron shop was still some distance away. After Nangong Yue thanked the boss, she got into the carriage and drove towards the iron shop.

After driving for a quarter of an hour, the carriage arrived at the place the boss mentioned just now. Nangong Yue and Dongmei got out of the carriage. The iron shops were half open. Dongmei stepped forward and knocked on the door. Not long after, a woman The man opened the door and asked, "What's the matter, sir?"

"We want to build a weapon, is the boss here?" Nangong Yue stepped forward and asked.

The woman looked at Nangong Yue for a moment, then shouted to the door: "Old man, there are guests coming, come out!"

There was no sound from the door, and after a while, a man in his 50s came out: "Who wants to make weapons?" Nangong Yue smiled at the boss, took out the blueprint from her sleeve, and handed it to the boss: "Boss , let's see, can this be done?"

The boss took the blueprint, squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time: "There is nothing here that I can't make, the blueprint is here, just come and get it tomorrow."

"Boss, how much money do you need to do this?" Nangong Yue asked.

The boss glanced at Nangong Yue: "Ten taels of silver, come to pick it up tomorrow, just give it together."

As the boss spoke, he entered the room with the drawings, and the woman followed.

Nangong Key looked at the closed door, his black eyes flickered, and he turned and got into the carriage.

Nangong Yao returned to the barracks, changed her clothes, went to the case, and began to draw bows and crossbows. She had painted Han crossbows before, but there are still some differences between Han crossbows and modern bows and crossbows.

Nangong Yue improved the Han crossbow slightly, and combined it with the modern crossbow to make it more sophisticated.

"Miss, it's time for dinner." Dongmei put the dinner cloth on the table, walked to An's side, and looked at the drawings drawn by Nangong Yue, a little puzzled:

"Miss, didn't you finish drawing this today? Why did you draw it again?" Nangong Yue looked at the bow and crossbow she drew, nodded in satisfaction, put away the design draft of the painting, and said, "This and that It's different." Nangong Yue said, walked slowly to the table, sat down, and began to eat.

Although Dongmei was a little puzzled, she didn't say anything. She hadn't seen anything the lady made these two days. The lady told her it was called a crossbow. However, it's not like she hasn't seen the crossbow. Crossbows are nothing like that.

Nangong Yue didn't stay idle after dinner. During the time in the barracks, Murong Yu was very busy and came back very late, and she couldn't help much. On the contrary, she fell ill and dragged him down.

Nangong Yue thought for a while, took a pen and wrote down the formation, formation, and explanation on the rice paper. Nangong Yue drew the formation in detail, and then explained it under the formation, which was clearer at a glance.
