Ning Qingxi would go to the secret craftsman's workshop of Taoyuanzhai every day to see the progress of the production of the magic weapons for guarding the city. These things were magic weapons to them.

"How is Master Lu? How many units have been made so far?" Ning Qingxi went through all the inspections and asked Lu Ji immediately after coming in.

Lu Ji was handling the parts. He raised his head when he heard the sound, "Miss Ning, are you here again? We have made five bed crossbows. Everyone in the front is running in, and the speed is a bit slow. In a few days, the remaining five will be ready." Taiwan can be finished.”

"That's good, Master Lu, did you encounter any problems when making the bed crossbow?" Ning Qingxi asked.

Lu Ji smiled and said, "Didn't Miss Ning solve all your problems? You come here every day and I asked you on the spot if I didn't understand anything."

Ning Qingxi looked at the progress of the work and left with satisfaction. If they continue with this efficiency, it won't be long before they can start making the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Arrows.

Carpenter Sun takes his fellow villagers who leave early and return late every day to the workshop in Taixi County to make arrows. He has saved a lot so far, and most of the preparations have been completed.

……

"Who is that person in front? Why is he so sneaky? Come out!"

The Fang family and Wang Guilin's group passed through the mountains and forests again. On the one hand, they could avoid the crowds and avoid being infected with the plague. On the other hand, they could also find some food in the mountains.

But they turned around and reached the foot of the mountain near Taixi County, where they were seen by the defending soldiers.

As the soldier shouted sharply, the soldier next to him raised his sword, raised his archer's crossbow and was about to approach, ready to kill the enemy.

The bright knife was right in front of them, and the Fang family and Wang Guilin were so frightened that they hurried out.

"Master Jun, please be merciful. We are all ordinary people. We don't know anyone is guarding us. Let's leave now. Let's leave now."

They didn't know. Fortunately, they only met this group of soldiers at the foot of the mountain. If they had met the soldiers in the mountains, they would not have asked more questions and would have killed them directly.

After all, you clearly see soldiers defending, but you still lean on them. Isn't there something wrong?
The secret workshop in Taoyuanzhai is too important, and Chang Yuan adheres to the principle of preferring to kill by mistake rather than let go.

A few people in tattered clothes, who looked like refugees, walked out tremblingly. There were a dozen or so people in this group, both young and old.

"Why are you here?" A man in armor came over, and other soldiers greeted him.

Wang Guilin hurriedly explained, "Sir! We are people from the north who came to seek refuge with General Chang. Previously, we walked directly through the mountains to Taizhou Mansion. The general over there said that we should come to Taixi County first..."

Brother Fang then said, "Isolation and inspection!"

Wang Guilin hurriedly said, "Yes, yes! We have to come here for isolation and inspection before we can be assigned to various places. We didn't dare to mix with the crowd, so we walked through the mountains again and ended up here accidentally. We were picked up by this guy just after we arrived. ," he pointed at the soldier who had scolded them earlier, "This military commander found out, and we didn't do anything."

The captain looked at them intently, "No matter what, I must take you back for questioning. Only after the investigation is clear can I let you go."

If they usually meet people who accidentally come in, they will at most give them a lesson and drive them away, but now at this critical moment, news has been received everywhere, and they must treat the slightest sign of trouble seriously.

Several people looked horrified after hearing this. They didn't know what the investigation was about, they only knew that they were going to be arrested.

"Master Jun! We really didn't do anything. We were really just passing by!"

Brother Fang begged: "Master Jun, we are really just ordinary people. My whole family used to live here, and then we ran north when we encountered thieves!" He pointed to the village not far away.

"Don't worry, I'm just taking you for questioning and treating you as a quarantine. Don't worry. If there's nothing wrong with you, I won't do anything to you. But if I find out that there is something wrong with you," the captain said coldly. "You also have to think about your own consequences."

When he said this, several people became even more frightened, "If I had known we wouldn't have come down, why would we be arrested if we were so innocent?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I don't want to die." The people on Wang Guilin's side were immediately confused.

"If we had known this, we might as well have lived in the mountains instead of being caught when we came down now."

As soon as Ning Qingxi reached the foot of the mountain, she heard noise in the distance. She asked Ning Husheng beside her: "What's going on over there? Why is it so noisy?"

Ning Daniu wanted to protect Ning Changrong and was unable to escort Ning Qingxi, so Ning Husheng took the job away.

Their people were everywhere. Ning Husheng asked a few soldiers to help look after Ning Qingxi, and then he wanted to go forward and ask himself.

Ning Qingxi stopped the other party, "Uncle Husheng, let's go together."

Ning Husheng was a little hesitant. He didn't know what the situation was before.

Ning Qingxi smiled and said, "There are all our people here, what can happen? Look at the clothes of those people, they should be refugees who entered by mistake."

Ning Husheng thought it right, "Okay, then Xixi, you walk behind me." If there is any danger, he can still block it in front.

Although Ning Qingxi felt that the other party was overly worried, he was also moved and said, "Thank you, Uncle Husheng."

Ning Husheng chuckled, "You call me uncle, and you're still so polite to me."

The two of them walked forward while talking. When the soldiers saw it, they greeted each other, "Miss Ning."

"Miss Ning is here?"

"Hello, Miss Ning."

When the captain heard the noise, he turned his head and looked at Ning Husheng and Ning Qingxi who were walking forward.

Ning Husheng asked, "What's going on?"

Although Ning Husheng was just a small government servant, he was a fellow villager of Ning Changrong, not to mention that he came here with Ning Qingxi. The captain did not dare to neglect and quickly explained, "These people accidentally wandered into the foot of the mountain. I don't know if they are here." Whether it’s true or not, I’m going to take them back for review and quarantine.”

The captain asked the soldiers who had discovered these people to briefly explain the matter.

Seeing someone coming to ask, Brother Fang quickly begged, "Master, please let us go. We are really passing by. At worst, we won't go to Taixi County. Can we not be quarantined? Let's go, let's go." Let’s go now.”

The Fang family had never seen Ning Husheng before, and so many years had passed and they didn't recognize him.

But Wang Guilin felt that he looked familiar. After Ning Husheng appeared, he kept frowning. He always felt that he had seen him somewhere, but he couldn't remember. The captain noticed something was wrong with him and was worried that he wanted to commit murder, so he yelled: "What are you looking at!"

Wang Guilin suddenly said: "Ning Husheng!?"

After the captain scolded Wang Guilin, Ning Husheng subconsciously took a few steps back and kept Ning Qingxi waiting.

Seeing that the other party actually said his name, he asked:

"who are you?"

Wang Guilin said excitedly: "Are you Ning Husheng!? There is also Aunt Wang Ning Changrong in your village!"
