We'll have you impersonate the Crown Prince and create a prosperous era for the Great Qian Dyna

Zheng Rong glanced at Zhou Tiancheng in surprise.

Having lived a secluded life for a long time, Zheng Ye'er lacked worldly experience and her view of Zhou An's character was extremely naive.

But Jung Yong-ga is different.

What he experienced in the northern frontier was more than just war!

Among the people of the northern frontier, there are those who are righteous and those who are ill-intentioned; Zheng Rong has seen countless people.

In fact, after the Third Prince was humiliated, it was the first time that Zhou An came to visit, and Zheng Rong saw through his intentions at a glance.

This was sent by the Third Prince to humiliate Zheng Ye'er!

Zheng Ye'er had never been in contact with other men, so she was easily attracted to someone like Zhou An who catered to her tastes.

Once Zheng Ye'er falls in love, the Third Prince will reveal his true colors and retaliate for the grievances he suffered at the hands of the others.

Zheng Rong didn't care because he wanted to watch Zheng Ye'er grow up.

But to his utter surprise, the Crown Prince only met Zhou An once and exchanged a few words with him before he immediately sensed Zhou An's ulterior motives.

Zhou Tiancheng's words were a subtle reminder to Zheng Ye'er to be wary of Zhou An.

Unfortunately, Zheng Ye'er didn't appreciate it.

Although her hands were restrained, she still opened her mouth and spat at Zhou Tiancheng.

"The world is blind to the talent of the young master Zhou!"

"No one recommended Young Master Zhou for an official position; it's because you're jealous of his talent!"

Upon hearing this, Steward Liu frowned.

The future crown princess may not be smart, but she cannot be this stupid.

It seems that Zheng Ye'er is not suitable.

Instead, Zhou Tiancheng laughed.

Yo!

This guy is still obsessed with love!

Although Zheng Ye'er and Zhou An haven't started dating yet, judging from Zheng Ye'er's behavior, she probably already has genuine feelings for Zhou An.

And if he acts as the savior who tears apart the scumbag, he might win Zheng Ye'er's favor.

He didn't care whether Zheng Ye'er was stupid or not; what he cared about was the one-third of the Northern Frontier soldiers behind Duke Zheng Rong!

Zhou Tiancheng turned to look at Zheng Rong and asked with a light smile.

"My lord, if you don't mind, I would like to stay here a little longer."

"Not for anything else, but simply to seek justice for Young Master Zhou, what do you say?"

Zheng Rong was utterly helpless. He glanced at his daughter and finally let out a long sigh.

"I'm a bit tired. You young people can get along on your own."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left, showing no intention of continuing to interfere in these matters.

Watching Zheng Rong's departing figure, Zhou Tiancheng seemed lost in thought.

Parents who love their children plan far ahead for them.

Zheng Rong wasn't blind to Zhou An's true intentions; he simply understood that he couldn't protect Zheng Ye'er for the rest of his life.

He wanted Zheng Ye'er to suffer a major setback at Zhou An's hands, so that she would think more carefully about what she said and did in the future.

"The hearts of parents are always full of love and worry."

Zhou Tiancheng put away his smile and returned to the main seat in the main hall, sitting down calmly.

"Miss Zheng, you said that Young Master Zhou is exceptionally talented, and that he improved the bows and arrows, catapults, and eight-ox crossbows of the Great Qian Dynasty, saving the lives of countless soldiers. Is that true?"

Zheng Ye'er proudly raised her head.

"Exactly!"

Zhou Tiancheng nodded slightly.

"Very well, I will now have a debate with you."

"If what you say is true, I will personally visit the Minister of Works' residence to apologize."

"If the facts are not true, what should Miss Zheng do?"

Zheng Ye'er smiled.

Everyone in the world knows what kind of person the Crown Prince is; he's a complete incompetent fool.

Debating with yourself?

Has he been to northern Xinjiang?

Has he ever seen what an eight-ox crossbow looks like?

He knows nothing, how could he possibly win the argument?

Zheng Ye'er was full of confidence.

"What are you going to do?"

Zhou Tiancheng pointed to the kettle on the table.

"I want you to personally serve me tea and water, and then call me Crown Prince Brother."

Zheng Ye'er was furious.

Is it okay to use the term "brother" casually?

In the Great Qian Dynasty, this was a term used to express a woman's intimacy with a man.

They weren't childhood sweethearts or related by blood, so why should he call her "brother"?

The prince is clearly flirting with her!

But she can't lose!

"I agree!"

"Bing'er, let go!"

"Go and bring up all those powerful weapons from the training room!"

As she spoke, she didn't forget to have her maid take Zhou An away to treat his injuries.

Not long after.

The main hall was filled with broken copper and scrap iron. Zhou An also appeared in the main hall, covering his face and glaring at Zhou Tiancheng through gritted teeth.

Zheng Ye'er immediately became very familiar with the various crossbows and arrows on display, and even gave a detailed explanation of their advantages.

After saying that, she looked at Zhou Tiancheng with a smug expression.

"The catapults and crossbows are too big to be delivered right now, but these alone are enough to make you admit defeat and apologize!"

Zhou Tiancheng remained seated in the main seat.

He didn't know much about these weapons.

However, he was familiar with modern composite bows, folding ladders and catapults improved after the Tang and Song dynasties, as well as various armor-piercing cones.

There's no other reason; when filming movies in my previous life, we used modified antique-style props!

Not to mention he's also directed movies about archery!

In terms of reform, let alone Zhou An, even the entire Ministry of Works combined couldn't match his skill.

Because he stood on the shoulders of giants!

now.

Zhou Tiancheng was quite disappointed with the things in front of him and shook his head slightly.

These things are not even as good as props.

How utterly destitute has Daqian become!

Can a pile of scrap metal really be called an improved divine weapon?

Upon seeing this, Zheng Ye'er immediately stepped forward.

"What? Does His Highness look down on these fine things?"

"Does Your Highness know how effective these things are on the battlefield, and how many soldiers can be saved from death?"

"His Highness the Crown Prince knows nothing, so what gives him the right to deny Young Master Zhou's talent?"

Even Zhou An became bolder.

After all, he knew all too well what kind of person the Crown Prince was.

weapon?

The Crown Prince knows nothing!

He's only good at playing around with women!

Thinking of this, Zhou An gritted his teeth and looked at Zhou Tiancheng.

"Your Highness, if you lose, I do not require you to come and apologize, lest His Majesty think I am being disrespectful to his superiors."

"I only ask that you punish yourself by slapping yourself, to save face, how about that?"

Steward Liu was furious.

This brat is still plotting revenge against the Crown Prince?

"presumptuous!"

Instead, Zhou Tiancheng raised a hand to stop Steward Liu, then slowly looked at Zhou An.

"You think I'd punish myself with a slap for this piece of junk?"

Scrap metal?

Those four words instantly struck a nerve with Zheng Ye'er and Zhou An, touching their fragile hearts.

Both of them looked embarrassed and annoyed.

Zheng Ye'er, in particular, looked at Zhou Tiancheng with an extremely cold gaze, her disgust coming from the bottom of her bones!

"Does Your Highness know that our soldiers fight on the front lines with these scrap metal weapons, protecting the peace and well-being of the people of our Great Qian?"

"If Your Highness considers this scrap metal, then Your Highness may tell us what a true divine weapon is!"

Zhou Tiancheng remained silent.

He slowly stood up and walked to the pile of garbage, squatted down and picked up an iron arrow.

"Bows and arrows have existed for a long time. At first, they were made by sharpening wood to make arrows, until later when people started smelting iron."

"You're not the first person to have the idea of ​​forging arrows from iron, but why are arrows still mainly made with the head, shaft, and fletching manufactured separately?"

"Zhou An, you are the son of the Minister of Works, but you have never been to the battlefield. I will not argue with you."

"But Miss Zheng, you keep saying this is a divine weapon, don't you feel like you're being dishonest?"
