Chapter 877: Chapter 879: Clinging to Powerful Legs (3)

Cai Wei was tickled by him until she couldn’t help but giggle, dodging playfully while asking, "Hey, aren’t you afraid that by arranging Helana and Tuoba Kui together, Tuoba Kui might one day use the power of the Xianbei Empire against Our Great Jin Dynasty?"

"Hehe——"

Nangong Yi laughed, said disdainfully, "The strength of the Xianbei Empire is comparable to that of Great Jin, so he wouldn’t dare to take such a risk lightly. Besides, the feelings of Helana and Tuoba Kui are vastly different from each other. Sooner or later, they will be at each other’s throats, fighting to the death. By that time, if the Xianbei Empire doesn’t end up destroying itself, it will be lucky. How could they possibly help him attack Our Great Jin Dynasty?"

After reflecting, Cai Wei thought the man made sense; Helana was foolish and overbearing, and the men of the Meng slaves were supremacists. It was inevitable that the two couldn’t get along. However, one should always prepare for the worst. Tuoba Kui was ambitious, and his surrender to Great Jin was made out of desperation. What if he harbored ulterior motives, managed to win over Helana, and induced her to turn against Great Jin?

With this in mind, she voiced the concerns in her heart.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yi chuckled sarcastically, "Even if they were to join forces against Great Jin, we could still crush them utterly. Don’t forget, I have the magic weapons that I learned to use from Madam."

"Magic weapon? What magic weapon?" Cai Wei asked in puzzlement, staring blankly at the man.

Nangong Yi smiled proudly, pinched her cheek, and said, "Has Madam forgotten how I dealt with Tianjizi? If it were not for the magic weapon you provided, how could Tianjizi have been so easily dispatched by us?"

Cai Wei was taken aback, "You’ve manufactured guns on a large scale?"

Nangong Yi sighed, "I would have liked to manufacture them on a large scale, but unfortunately, the components for the guns are too sophisticated, and there are not many smiths in the world who can achieve that level of craftsmanship. Moreover, black powder is expensive, and producing a bullet is not easy, so I only have a dozen guns at hand. When attacking a city or seizing a pool, I place them at the vanguard to deter the enemy!"

No wonder this guy was able to capture cities so quickly, it was with the help of guns. Cai Wei frowned and said, "The gun was something I brought to deal with Tianjizi. I never thought you would use it on the battlefield. Its killing power is too great. If it were to spread, countless people could die from it. Therefore, I do not wish for you to use such a thing to take lives anymore. You must know, excessive killing goes against the harmony of nature. Do not make me carry the karma for your decisions."

Seeing the slight anger on her face and her unusually stern tone, Nangong Yi immediately responded, "Madam, I have a total of sixty-two guns in my possession. I will hand them all over to you for disposal tonight when we camp, and I promise I will never use them again, nor will I manufacture any more. Are you satisfied with this?"

Seeing that the man had acknowledged his fault and his attitude was good, Cai Wei’s expression softened a bit. She slowly said, "I am not being petty, it’s just that human life is precious, and I must act accordingly. I hope you can understand."

Nangong Yi sighed, "Silly Girl, how could I think you’re petty? If it hadn’t been for the timely arrival of the military provisions you sent and the morale boost you provided, our Northern Expedition Army might have mutinied by then. Who knows if I would have had the chance to return in triumph, instead of going back to Imperial Father with my tail between my legs to confess!"

Nangong Yi was grateful to Cai Wei, but he rarely expressed his gratitude. This time, he spoke honestly about his feelings, perhaps worried that Cai Wei would be upset about the gun issue, so he opened up his heart to alleviate her doubts.

Cai Wei understood the man’s feelings, and although moved, she did not voice them. Instead, she just held him tighter around his lean waist, resting her head on his shoulder, and nestled quietly with him...
