“Please inform them that I, Ye Qingge, am here to discuss the upgrading of weapons.”

As Ye Qingge spoke, she took out a placard from her pocket. It was the one that had been pasted on the notice board earlier.

“You, why did you take it off?”

One of the guards at the door was shocked when he saw the placard. He pointed at Ye Qingge and shouted, “Just wait, don’t run.”

Then, he rushed back into the estate, while the other man drew his sword and pointed it at Ye Qingge.

He was afraid that she would run away.

“Who says I’m running?”

Ye Qingge acted as if she didn’t see the guard’s long blade and continued to smile.

Not long after, an old man trotted out accompanied by the guard. When he saw that Ye Qingge was still standing at the door, he was surprised.

“Hello, Miss. I’m the butler of the residence. My surname is Wu. May I know your name?”

Butler Wu sized Ye Qingge up. She was young, but her bearing was calm. She did not look like she was here to find fun in General Zhanbei’s residence.

Hence, his attitude was still considered good.

“I’m Ye Qingge. Greetings, butler Wu.”

Ye Qingge looked at Butler Wu and smiled sweetly, revealing two dimples.

Seeing that Butler Wu did not have the usual arrogance of a butler from a big family, her impression of General Zhanbei’s residence improved a little.

“Miss Ye, I heard that you brought down the placard?”

Although the guard had already come to report, he still had to confirm it.

“Yes, since General Zhanbei is sincere and invited everyone to discuss the about weapons, I naturally have to do my part.”

Ye Qingge smiled innocently.

“This, I wonder if Miss Ye has been to the battlefield before? Or have you made any weapons?”

Butler Wu asked directly. Although she had an extraordinary bearing, he could not bring anyone into the residence without knowing her background.

“Butler Wu, although I’ve never been to the battlefield or made any weapons, it doesn’t mean that I don’t know anything about weapons.”

Ye Qingge placed her hands behind her back and continued.

“I know you have your concerns. It’s not easy to enter General Zhanbei’s Estate, but now that I’ve taken down the placard and is at the door, why don’t you let me in? Perhaps I’ll give everyone a surprise? If it doesn’t work, it won’t be too late for you to arrest me and see the officials, right?”

She wasn’t fooling the elderly. She was putting herself in Butler Wu’s shoes.

Butler Wu sized Ye Qingge up from head to toe a few more times to confirm that she wasn’t crazy and wasn’t here to cause trouble.

Hence, he nodded and gave the two guards a look that said, “Keep an eye on her” before leading Ye Qingge in.

It was really a good place to take photos for internet celebrities.

Ye Qingge sized up the surrounding scenery as she followed butler Wu in. Occasionally, she would reach out to touch it.

It really looked like Granny Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.

Butler Wu even regretted bringing her in, but fortunately, she was just touching.

After touching it, she stopped, as if she had no intention of taking it for herself.

Ye Qingge didn’t know that Butler Wu had already labeled her as someone who needed supervision.

In fact, she just wanted to confirm the composition of the material. She realized that the stone used in General Zhanbei’s residence was very special. It seemed to be different from ordinary stones.

After passing through an inner door, Butler Wu led Ye Qingge to the living room.

More than ten soldiers in armor and a few men in their usual attire were gathered around the table.

“Butler Wu, the person who took down the placard is this girl? Isn’t this nonsense?”

As soon as Ye Qingge stepped into the hall, she heard a hoarse voice explode in the hall.

Ye Qingge looked over and saw that the person who had spoken was a burly man with a full beard and armor.

Did Li Kui also transmigrate?

Ye Qingge rubbed her ears to alleviate the ringing.

“Captain Li, keep your voice down, and don’t scare this little girl into fainting.”

Another person in armor, who was much thinner than Li Kui, said, helping Butler Wu out.

“Butler Wu, take this lady away.”

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man. He was wearing green clothes and no armor, but it could not hide his murderous aura. There was obvious fatigue between his brows.

It was as if he was under pressure that he shouldn’t be under at his age.

Moreover, the moment he spoke, the others immediately fell silent. From the looks of it, he was a powerhouse.

Could he be General Zhanbei?

He didn’t seem to be the right age.

According to the Host’s memories, General Zhanbei was an old man in his seventies. He was definitely not middle-aged. Could he be General Zhanbei’s son?

Ye Qingge’s guess was correct. The man in green was General Zhanbei’s eldest son, Jia Jingzhong.

Initially, he was pleasantly surprised when the guard reported that someone had taken down the placard. Although he heard that it was a woman, there was no lack of heroines in the martial arts world who were not inferior to men.

He could have really received some pointers, but she was a little girl now.

Her eyes were wide and bright. She had probably never even seen a dead person before.

How could she know what was happening on the battlefield?

Butler Wu gestured for Ye Qingge to go ahead.

He was filled with regret. Why did he bring this little girl in just now?

What could she know at such a young age?

Old Master might be scolding him for not doing his job well in his heart.

Oh no, oh no, oh no!

“Wait!”

Ye Qingge smiled and walked into the hall as if they were familiar with each other.

Her small body squeezed into a gap and glanced at the things on the table.

“What are you doing? Which family’s wild girl came to General Zhanbei’s Estate to behave atrociously?”

The bearded Captain Li raised his eyebrows and glared fiercely.

They were in the middle of serious business. How could they allow a wild girl like her to cause trouble?

“I say, Lord Li Kui, how do you know I’m here to behave atrociously and not to help?”

Ye Qingge crossed her arms in front of her chest with a smile on her face. She was very likable.

But now, the people in the room saw that she wanted to pinch her and throw her out, so her smile was especially provocative.

“My name is Li Da, not Li Kui!”

Li Da? How tragic. An imposter.

“Yes, Lord Li Kui.”

Ye Qingge nodded. She ignored Li Da’s angry glare and looked directly at Jia Jingzhong.

“Sir, I saw on the list that our army wants to develop a Northern Mang weapon. Is it referring to this thing?”

Ye Qingge pointed at the items on the table, the smile on her lips unchanged.

“That’s right.” Jia Jingzhong nodded. Although he knew that she could not help much, he did not expect her to be of any help.

However, after many years of good education, he still answered truthfully.

“I say, Butler Wu, why aren’t you bringing her out? We are discussing serious matters.”

“Yes, yes. What does a little girl like her know about the military?”

“Butler Wu, I’m not criticizing you, but you shouldn’t have brought her back.”

The people around them were all talking at once.

Women all had long hair and were short-sighted, let alone a little girl. What could she know?

After being scolded in front of Jia Jingzhong, the resentment in Butler Wu’s heart was overwhelming. He gestured impatiently to the person behind him to take Ye Qingge away.

The two guards behind her were about to grab Ye Qingge’s arm.

“Are you sure that after you bring me out, someone will help you study this crossbow?”

“Wait!” Jia Jingzhong called out to the guard with a serious expression, his eyes filled with surprise. “Miss, do you know what this weapon is?”

This was stolen from the Northern Mang Army, and nearly a hundred experts had been sacrificed for it.

Because the Northern Mang Army did not have many crossbows, they were very precious.

However, they had never seen such a weapon before, so they did not know what it was called.
