The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Seeing that His Highness was so confident, Yang Qi's heart finally settled down.

Mo Chong was a suspicious and cunning person. He must have half believed the explanation of finding medicine just now. The reason why he did not attack and deal with himself immediately was probably because he was weak now and did not have the energy to deal with himself for the time being.

Only Yang Qi knew that when he heard Mo Chong's voice just now, he was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat.

"This Mo Chong is really a weirdo. I clearly drugged him while he was unconscious, but I didn't expect that he would wake up so quickly."

Fortunately, Yang Qi was careful and did not give him a drug that would cause him to become unconscious. Instead, he only fed him a tonic to strengthen his body. However, the side effect of this drug was that it made him drowsy.

"Mo Chong has tried many medicinal herbs since he was a child. Ordinary drugs will naturally have no effect on him." Seeing Yang Qi's confusion, Yuan Ruiyuan explained kindly.

I see. This must be the "drug resistance" mentioned in my grandfather's notes.

Yang Qi turned around and looked at Yuan Ruiyuan in front of him. He couldn't help but feel a little curious. Did His Highness know all this simply because he was well-informed? Or did he also come from this background?

At this glance, Yang Qi was surprised to find that His Highness's eyes were fixed on her, and her originally shy cheeks became even redder.

"You, do you still have a year left before you become an aging woman?" Seeing the girl's embarrassment, Yuan Ruiyuan wanted to change the subject, but he didn't expect to blurt out this question.

Yang Qi felt the blood rushing to his head, and he was very nervous: "Your Highness, after the New Year, Xiao Qi will be a marriageable girl in one year."

There are two people in a room, one has a slightly raised smile on his face, and the other has a hint of anticipation.

"He's gone." Although Yuan Ruiyuan was in the pharmacy, his mind had never left Mo Chong's main house.

Business was the most important thing, so Yang Qi quickly stood up, took a few pills and put them on his body, suppressing all the random thoughts in his mind.

While Mo Chong was away, Yuan Ruiyuan took Yang Qi into the main house.

Yang Qi quickly looked around the layout of the house. Except for the absence of Mo Chong, the remaining objects and furnishings were no different from when he left.

Looking at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of him, Yang Qi felt relieved. He didn't know since when, when he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he seemed to see the chance of winning.

Yuan Ruiyuan imitated Mo Chong's previous action and moved the small wooden block on the mold, and the door of the dark room slowly appeared.

Yang Qi only realized now that the wooden models made by Mo Chong were actually movable! Originally, he thought they were shaped wooden sculptures made by Mo Chong.

There should be no candles in the dark room. It was pitch black. Yuan Ruiyuan took out two night-shining pearls from his arms and handed one to Yang Qi: "Take it."

Yang Qi immediately took it with one hand and nodded. He didn't know what was going on inside yet, so it was better to have a lighting device to be prepared.

Following Yuan Ruiyuan, Yang Qi took small steps into the dark room.

Taking advantage of the light of the night pearl, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Yang Qi were able to see the layout of the dark room clearly.

The darkroom was a square room, but it looked like the top floor of a tower, with a ladder in the middle leading to the bottom floor. All around were wooden figures that Yang Qi had seen before, and on the top were mechanical birds of different sizes that Yang Qi had seen before, and they were now quietly placed here.

"Your Highness, this wooden man's limbs can move, and he can even walk, open and close doors like a normal person. Once this mechanical bird flies, it will be no different from a normal bird.

In the past few days, if Mo Chong has anything to say, he will use this mechanical bird to convey the message. If Xiao Qi has anything to say, she only needs to wrap the note around her leg, and the mechanical bird will fly back to Mo Chong by itself.

Even without Yang Qi's explanation, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could roughly guess the functions and principles of these objects with just one glance.

However, Yang Qi was interested in speaking, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was happy to listen.

Going down one level, the dark room became noticeably larger, with small doors all around it.

Yuan Ruiyuan looked around with the Night Pearl in his hand, then turned back and said to Yang Qi, "I'm afraid there may be a trap here. Follow me closely."

Yang Qi was originally standing at the stairs waiting, and after hearing His Highness' words, she quickly came to His Highness's side: "Xiao Qi knows."

Yuan Ruiyuan selected one of the doors and pushed it with his hand, and the door opened.

There is no mechanism? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Yang Qi frowned at the same time. According to Mo Chong's temper, he would even tinker with a medicine cabinet for a while, so why would he give up on making a mechanism for the door of the dark room?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince picked up a stone and threw it into the house, where it hit the wall.

All of a sudden, multiple crossbows appeared on the walls of the house, shooting arrows indiscriminately.

Yuan Ruiyuan immediately grabbed Yang Qi, who was standing beside him, and protected him tightly behind him, then hid aside.

This was not the first time Yang Qi had seen this arrow array mechanism, and this time he was much calmer than before. But he could feel the warmth coming from his hands, and the bamboo fragrance between his nostrils that belonged only to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Yang Qi's heart could not calm down, and his heart was beating fast, boom, boom, boom.

The arrow array inside the house was thrilling, and several sharp arrows pierced outside the house, making a rustling sound.

But at this moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Yang Qi seemed to only be able to hear each other's heartbeats and breathing, as they were very close.

A quarter of an hour later, the arrow array finally stopped.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the first to react and took a step back, widening the gap between the two of them.

"Go find some information."

For some reason, Yang Qi felt a little shy and guilty at this moment. After hearing what His Royal Highness said, he lowered his head and said, "Yes, Your Highness."

The room at this moment was completely different from what it looked like at first glance. The tables and chairs were all pierced with sharp arrows, making it look like a hedgehog.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pulled the maid, avoided the sharp arrows on the ground, came to the table, let go of the maid's hand, quickly picked up the schematic diagram on the table, and looked at it carefully.

Yang Qi felt his hands were empty, so he clenched his fists to feel the remaining warmth in his hands. Then, he took both night pearls in his hands and held them at the side of His Highness.

Since His Highness has given the order, this dark room is extremely dangerous and I cannot move around, so I can only do these.

After quickly reading the schematic diagrams in front of him, Yuan Ruiyuan's eyes reflected a bloodthirsty light. The weapons here are all ways to deal with the Huo family army.

On the battlefield today, soldiers mostly use spears, swords, and shields. The well-equipped soldiers only pay attention to the materials used to make the spears, swords, and shields, and they are just a little more powerful.

The Huo family army has always been famous for its bravery and fighting skills. Not only are the generals familiar with military tactics and use troops like gods, but the soldiers are also all-round. In other words, the individual combat power is strong.

The people trained by Lao Wu in the secret base were far inferior to the Huo family army in terms of physique or intelligence.

But the weapons that Mo Chong is researching here are all aimed at the Huo family army.

Take the giant iron horse that you see at first glance, for example. Mo Chong's idea is to build an iron horse that is large enough to carry three adult soldiers and is invulnerable to swords and guns. When the two armies are fighting, they can quickly break through the enemy's defense line, rush to the rear, and defeat them in one fell swoop.

However, due to the limitations of materials and three-dimensional arithmetic, most of these ideas cannot be used in real wars.
