Chapter 912: 902 Weapon (16) One more Chapter

The Bagua mechanism weapons were very famous during the Dayong Dynasty’s reign.

Initially, the Zhou Dynasty dominated the land, and though the Dayong Dynasty was not even a third of its strength, it was the most prosperous period for the Ye Family. A generation’s General, wielding a mechanism weapon, alone charged into an army of thousands to decapitate the enemy commander.

This battle became a miraculous war of textbook significance.

With less than a fifth of the enemy’s forces, the Dayong Dynasty captured the General of Zhou Country and returned in triumph.

The King of Zhou Country exchanged a city to obtain the mechanism weapon, but after that, the only Ye Family Ancestor who could make the Bagua mechanism weapons died suddenly.

From then on, the Bagua mechanism lock of the Ye Family disappeared without a trace.

But every scholar could always see in history the records of this war; they had great respect for the Ye Family Ancestor.

So now, hearing the words of General Nangong, the atmosphere at the scene fell into a quiet that was almost eerie.

Even Cheng Yan and Shen Jiran, as well as others, had always thought, what silver could Ye Shaohua possibly have in her hands? She had been wandering outside with her wet nurse since she was thirteen; it was already fortunate that she could survive amidst deliberate targeting by malicious people.

As for the inheritances of the Ye Family, those still in the yard truly had no concept of them.

But now, looking at the pile of semi-finished products under Ye Shaohua’s feet, and the Bagua mechanism that General Nangong held in his hand, they finally understood one thing: the Ye Family was still the Ye Family after all.

If one weapon was completed, it wouldn’t be difficult to be wealthy enough to rival a country.

The servants who were flipping through Ye Shaohua’s room with the Butler, at this moment, trembled on their legs, some nearly unable to refrain from kneeling on the ground, their faces pale as they looked at General Nangong.

Shen Jiran and his father also finally understood the seriousness of the matter.

But Shen’s father still didn’t understand; looking at what appeared to him like a pile of scrap iron scattered on the ground, he said, "Aren’t these just some weapons? Just throw them on the ground? I’ve seen Shaohua casually placing them on the table."

Shen’s father expressed his doubts regardless.

In fact, this was true, Ye Shaohua casually placed unfinished hidden weapons or mechanisms off to the side on a regular basis.

If she had taken them seriously and locked them up, the Butler and his people wouldn’t be so careless.

But it so happened that Ye Shaohua carelessly left things scattered about, causing the people of the Shen Family to not take them seriously at all.

"So none of you know what these are?" General Nangong, who spent the first half of his life on the tumultuous battlefield, had used top-grade weapons of the Ye Family in his own hands.

Later, even when he wasn’t on the battlefield, he was still dealing with weapons, handling them with effortless skill.

"This," he pointed to a black blade-shaped casting, "is cold iron, obtained by tempering over ten thousand times to produce fine steel. Not to mention that the sword forged from it is priceless, just this chunk of iron alone can’t be obtained without two hundred thousand taels! Because it was taken out prematurely, it became brittle like ordinary iron!"

"This, the Peacock Tail weapon - I remember the Ye Family Ancestor made one, used by someone in the Jianghu over fifty years ago. Countless first-class experts died beneath this hidden weapon, it’s just a pity that after the Ye Family Ancestor passed away, no one could fix the broken Peacock Tail. Setting aside others, just these few - who among you could afford to compensate for them?"

As General Nangong spoke, the Butler’s forehead began to sweat profusely, and his body was already shaking.

And the people present were all agape.

Not a single one dared to speak; they simply looked at Ye Shaohua with a new perspective, and finally understood why Ye Shaohua didn’t show any change in expression at the beginning.

Who could have known that the things Ye Shaohua said she could exchange for with this pile of junk were actually... serious!

Most of the people present had more or less ridiculed Ye Shaohua before, but now each of them felt their faces sting with embarrassment.

The noblewoman whose bracelet had dropped had already covered her face with her sleeve.

Especially the Butler, who had been forcing Ye Shaohua to admit to theft, was now speechless.

Compared to them, Ye Yanyu and Cheng Yan were the most shocked.

One prided himself in his confidence in refining weapons; the other thought he had focused on the most talented and promising person in the Ye Family.

It took Cheng Yan several minutes to come to terms with this reality.

"What should we do with these now?" asked Shen Jiran, and his father, after realizing the situation - first shocked for Ye Shaohua, and second feeling the heartache for Ye Shaohua’s priceless weapons.

Ye Shaohua squatted down to flip through a few weapons, then picked out some that were not too damaged, "General Nangong, I may have to trouble you to take these things back with you. I often go out to find stone materials, presently these things were prematurely exposed, and keeping them in the Shen house is not safe."

In reality, Ye Shaohua’s belongings were never in any danger.

If someone wanted her possessions, they would inevitably have to pay a price.

But Ye Shaohua knew that the most unsafe thing was to keep these matters exposed within the Shen house.

Much of these items hadn’t appeared for a long time, and now they emerged all at once. Everyone knew they were sharp weapons and merely obtaining them could enable one to break away from a three-way power standoff, or even unify the whole land.

"Alright, I have already sent people to fetch them," agreed General Nangong, nodding immediately.

"So is everything clear now?" Madame Shen might not understand how important these weapons were to the Dayong Dynasty, but she knew those people had just been suspicious of Ye Shaohua. Finally, she let out a sigh of relief.

Ye Yanyu, noting that Cheng Yan’s gaze never left Ye Shaohua, clenched her hands tightly, but still managed a strained smile.

"Auntie, I didn’t expect my sister to be so amazing," Ye Yanyu’s gaze fell on the inconspicuous black dagger in Madame Shen’s hand, "but I thought my sister would give you the South Sea Pearl."

Upon hearing Ye Yanyu’s words, many people’s attention shifted to Madame Shen.

Earlier, they thought Ye Shaohua was feeling guilty, which is why she didn’t dare to give Madame Shen valuable gifts.

Now that these items weren’t from suspicious sources, why then did Ye Shaohua only give a very inconspicuous dagger to Madame Shen?

"Madame Shen, is this your weapon?" General Nangong, who was instructing his men, caught sight of the black dagger Madame Shen had displayed, and was taken aback, "May I ask if you could sell me this dagger? We can negotiate a very good price!"
