In the afternoon, Qin Yin arranged for Qu Chu to live in Zetian Hall. Qu Chu was legitimate as the Queen's Grand Tutor, and could also protect Qin Yin's safety.

Lin Muyu returned to the temple and was stunned when facing a large number of files in the Deacon's office.

"What's wrong, the big deacon." Ge Yang stood aside with a smile and said.

Lin Muyu felt her scalp numb and said, "Grandpa Ge Yang, the temple should indeed hire several civilian officials. There are many of these files that I don't need to review in person, which is a waste of my time."

Ge Yang stroked his beard and smiled, "I understand. I will ask Deacon Zheng to select civilian officials with sufficient qualifications later. However, most of the temple are warriors, and not many people recognize words."

“There will always be.”

"yes."

Lin Muyu calmed down and flipped it down one by one after another after sitting down. She still had some questions about the selection of personnel in various temples of the empire, funding calls, etc., which were very cumbersome and boring. It was much boring than practicing. Fortunately, Lin Muyu could silently practice the calcified dragon bone fragments in her body, and would not waste a lot of time.

The sun was setting, and before dusk, the temple guards outside suddenly said respectfully: "Great Deacon, the Imperial Guards commanded Feng Jixing to seek his opinion."

"Oh, let him in."

"yes."

Feng Jixing entered the office dustyly, and sat honestly and unceremoniously at a corner of the Deacon's desk, and smiled and said, "Oh, Deacon is reviewing the memorial again."

"It's just a file, the emperor's memorial." Lin Muyu looked up at him and smiled and said, "Didn't you make an appointment to go to drink in the evening? Why did Brother Feng come so early?"

"Haha." Feng Jixing smiled loudly: "I want to take you to a place before drinking."

“Where.”

"Ministry of Works, Weapons Department."

"Oh, the Weapons Department."

"Yes, let's go, put down your files, the treasures there are much better than these files."

"Yeah, okay."

After leaving the temple, Lin Muyu turned over and rode the snow and wind toward the Empire's Works Department. Neither of them brought the guards, so there was no need. Who dared to make their plans for the two major holy realms of the Empire?

The warhorse is fast in strength. After entering the Ministry of Works, there are various supervision and construction processes along the way. When Feng Jixing took Lin Muyu into the depths of the Ministry of Works, he finally saw a very solemn building standing there from afar, and there were heavy troops outside, with at least 200 guards surrounding him on guard.

It seems that there is indeed a secret hidden here.

"Do you still remember Qin Ziling?" Feng Jixing asked.

"Remember, what's wrong with Ziling."

"Without your permission, I directly asked Ouyang He, the Minister of OEM Department, to leave this person. The hunting crossbows made by Qin Ziling are very exquisite, so the skilled craftsmen of the Ministry of Works re-improve them with his drawings, and you will be able to see them soon."

"Um."

When the two arrived at the gate of the Weapons Division, the soldiers guarding respectfully clasped their fists: "Leader Feng, Leader Yu."

Feng Jixing nodded: "Take us in, Commander Yu and I want to see the power of the arrow box."

"yes."

A centurion respectfully brought the two into the Weapons Division. Not long after, an official wearing civil servant uniform came forward. He was about 50 years old, but his face was covered with dark wrinkles. He clasped his fists and smiled: "Ouyang He met the commander Feng and the commander Yu."

Feng Jixing smiled slightly: "Mr. Ouyang, don't be polite. I will bring Yu to see our new weapons."

"Yes, please, Commander Yu."

Lin Muyu was confused and thought to himself what this arrow box was, was it a continuous launch, a new equipment similar to a crossbow? If so, he had actually seen it a long time ago, but he just couldn't build it and didn't understand the principle.

Ouyang He and the two came all the way to the Weapons' shooting range. Not far away, a group of people wearing civil servants in the Ministry of Works were fiddling with a black box. The boxes were covered with dense arrows and holes, which were indeed the legendary arrow boxes. One of the group of civil servants was Qin Ziling. When they saw Lin Muyu coming, they stood up quickly and said respectfully: "Ziling meets with the great deacon."

Lin Muyu saw at a glance that Qin Ziling's rank had been upgraded to the Thousand-Man Commander. He was in the Weapons Department and seemed to be included in the Imperial Army. He nodded and smiled, "Ziling, don't be polite."

Qin Ziling said with some shame: "I didn't get the permission of the Great Deacon, Ziling joined the Weapons Department. I'm really... I'm sorry, I'd like to forgive me."

Lin Muyu couldn't help laughing, patted Qin Ziling on the shoulder and said, "What stupid guy says? In the Weapons, your talents have a place to be used. I can't be happy for you."

"The Great Deacon is really happy for Ziling."

"Well, let me see the weapons you have developed."

"yes."

At Qin Ziling's order, two soldiers pushed the arrow box to move slowly and aimed at the target in the distance. The target was very far away, about 200 meters away, and it was already the upper limit of the range of the bow and arrow. Moreover, the target was very thick wood, which looked nearly half a meter thick. Lin Muyu frowned and his eyes fell on the arrow in the box.

Ouyang He smiled slightly and took an arrow from the table beside him. The arrow's head was covered with flame luster. He smiled and said, "This arrow is specially made and tempered with fire poison. The venom of the two poisonous weeds of Tianzhu and Shanglu grass is sealed with blood. In time, the powerful vitality of the armor demon cannot resist this toxin."

Lin Muyu was surprised and asked, "Have this toxin been tested on the armored demon?"

"Yeah." Ouyang He nodded: "Thanks to Commander Yu bringing back a few living armor demons from Daojiang's position, we can experiment. Unfortunately, these armor demons cannot control the poison and are all dead."

"Hey."

"Okay, prepare to shoot arrows."

"yes."

A soldier pulled the wrench and suddenly pulled it suddenly. Suddenly, the sound of a machine spring twisting came from the arrow box. Then he shot a continuous "swoosh swish" and shot nearly 40 arrows in an instant. In the distance, countless arrows were drilled into the target like a wall. The force was astonishing, which made the target dust fly.

"Let's go and take a look." Feng Jixingdao.

"Um."

Lin Muyu stepped away, came to the front of the target, and gently pulled out an arrow. The arrow was cast in steel. The arrow was very sharp and directly penetrated the wooden arrow target about 20 cm deep. Ouyang He smiled proudly and said, "The best archer in the Imperial Army is probably the only one with this ability."

"uncertain."

Lin Muyu had seen Wei Qiu's archery technique. 200 meters away, Wei Qiu would definitely be able to penetrate this target with one arrow. He raised his hand and drew out the Dragon Spirit Sword, pondered for a moment, and silently used the Dou Qi to slash out a sword. Suddenly, the fierce Dou light around the blade danced brightly, and with a "bang", he slashed a gap of about 40 cm into a wooden target.

"Master Yu, you are here." Ouyang He looked surprised.

Lin Muyu said: "I have fought face to face with the armor demon, so I know that the hardness and toughness of the shells on their bodies are about this force to split the armor demon's hard armor. So, Lord Ouyang, unless your arrow box can shoot 40 cm deep into the target, you will not be able to penetrate the armor demon's shell, let alone shoot into the armor demon's body to kill the poison."

Ouyang He frowned and said, "This is a bit difficult..."

At this time, Qin Ziling behind him said: "Mr. Ouyang, give me a little more time. My subordinates are confident that they will continue to improve the arrow box so that it can meet the requirements of the Rain Commander. Moreover... our arrow forging also has room for improvement. As long as we hire a sufficiently excellent craftsman, we believe that we can shoot the armor-piercing demon's hard armor."

Ouyang He said happily: "Ziling can really do it."

"I will do my best." Qin Ziling said in earnest.

Lin Muyu also smiled and said, "If Ziling can really improve the arrow box and make it a powerful weapon to shoot the armor demon, then I will recommend you to Your Highness Qin Yin as the head of the Weapons Department."

Qin Ziling said happily: "Thank you, Commander Yu, Ziling must do his best."

At this time, Ouyang He said again: "In addition to removing the arrow box, we also studied crossbows and crossbows, Commander Feng and Commander Yu, please follow the officials to take a look."

"Okay, Lord Ouyang, please lead the way."

"Um."

The painting drawings of Qin Ziling were gone, while Ouyang He, the Minister of Works, was very excited. The Weapons Department has always been the least favored department of the Empire, because the Qin Empire had neglected the study of weapons and the empire was martial arts. Qin Jin always encouraged his people to practice martial arts and archery, but never encouraged his research on weapons.

This time, Lin Muyu, the two empire leaders who held great power, valued the Weapons Department so much, which was enough to make Ouyang He flattered, and he naturally worked harder to recommend new weapons.

Crossbows are divided into single crossbows and crossbows. Compared with arrow boxes, the disadvantage is that they are small in firing quantity, and the advantage is that they are light in carrying and are far less heavy than the arrow boxes.

Ouyang He said proudly: "This kind of crossbow can shoot through 50 cm of wood with one arrow. A close enough distance can be enough to pierce the body of the armor-piercing demon, but the requirement to aim at the head is too great."

Lin Muyu nodded and said nothing.

Ouyang He pointed to a machine about two people tall on the side and said, "This is the legendary crossbow cannon, which can project huge rocks and huge arrows. It has a powerful force and requires more than ten people to control it. It cannot be fired. It is also very heavy and is not suitable for combat."

Feng Jixing licked his lips, looked up, and smiled, "It looks quite majestic."

Lin Muyu's eyes lit up and said, "If this kind of crossbow is equipped with sharp stones, can it shoot through the side panels of ordinary warships?"

"Yes, you must." Ouyang He said excitedly: "The commander of Yu means."

"A little improvement and reduction will be made to be equipped on the Imperial Navy's warship."

Lin Muyu said confidently: "The demons are not fools. They will fight to the death with us sooner or later on the Daojiang River. Moreover, Yiheguo will have a battle with us sooner or later. It will be difficult to subdue them without developing water weapons."

Ouyang He's face was flushed: "The official understands, but... the Jinyin coins applied for by the Weapons Department have been unable to be approved for a long time. Mr. Lan and Mr. Yun have no interest in weapon development, so the file has been pressed in the front hall of Zetian Palace and cannot reach His Highness the Empress."

"Give me the file, I will submit it directly to Your Highness." Lin Muyu said with a smile.

Ouyang He was ecstatic: "Good...good...thank you, Commander Yu."

Feng Jixing also smiled slightly, "Ayu, are we still drinking tonight?"

"Let's drink after seeing Xiao Yin."
