Lu Yuan's eyes shone with excitement, he held the crossbow and looked at it repeatedly.
"Is this a repeating crossbow? Is it the kind of repeating crossbow that is said to be used by the First Emperor to shoot giant mackerels when he went on patrol?"
“No one has ever seen the First Emperor’s heroic act of firing crossbows at sea fish, and there are countless things he can do.
But this crossbow was made after Lao Jiang's hard work. It is a veritable double-shooting repeating crossbow. "
Lu Shizhi took the crossbow and fiddled with it gently and deftly in his hands. He immediately took apart the bow and crossbow arm and pointed the mechanism to Lu Yuan.
"This crossbow is a type of crossbow. The bow string is weak and can be operated by ordinary children, women and children. With your current arm strength, you can string the bow and load the arrow with just one hand.
Also, look here, one bow has three arrows, which can be fired forward and backward, or left and right at the same time. It is fast, accurate and cruel, taking it by surprise.
The opponent never expected that a crossbow could shoot continuously and simultaneously, catching him off guard. "
He spoke like a treasure, and handed the two crossbows back to Lu Yuan. He stared at her clumsily assembling them together. After a pause, Fang Yu encouraged her sincerely,
"You are very promising. I...I know that you have been depressed recently, and you can only practice shooting to relieve your depression.
I can't say much else, but I just ask you to remember that your life has just begun and you will not always be confined to this palace.
You must learn from your mother and be a heroine every day in the future. "
Lu Shizhi scratched his head and stammered out these comforting words that he had drafted countless times.
He was a bright and free-spirited man. Even though he was as thoughtful as a hair and had a thorough understanding of Lu Yuan's inner circle, he could not say it directly to her face because of her face, so he could only hint it through tactfully and tortuously.
Lu Yuan smiled, grateful that his uncle treated him as an equal adult, instead of always treating him as an undeveloped toy like Zhang Ao, who was supported by rich clothes and fine food, and was fooled with disdain and blatantly. Land utilization.
"When my uncle saw my mother, he asked her to be at ease and not to worry about me.
I will definitely follow her example in everything. Even if I live in open and covert struggles, I will be worthy of the way I came from. "
***
She said angrily, and although her words sounded brave, she couldn't help but make her eyes heat up. She raised her hand and quickly wiped the corners of her eyes, pretended to raise the crossbow and aimed into the distance, and whispered through gritted teeth,
"I thought that Zhang Ao really liked me and respected me, so he married me.
Unexpectedly, after arriving in Handan, I discovered that there were countless beauties in the North, all of them charming and beautiful, but I was dwarfed by them.
But he chose me just because he needed a princess as a barrier.
Even if I am not me, even if I am not a human being, but some monster, he will still marry me and become his queen. "
Lu Shizhi's tongue was tied, and his usual sharp teeth were gone. He could only sigh and listen to her continue.
Lu Yuan buried his head low, but kept practicing with his hands to disassemble the crossbow machine.
"At first, I figured this out and planned to just muddle along, pretending to be serious about it.
But I gradually discovered that Zhang Ao's calculation was actually far beyond my expectation.
Uncle, do you still remember Zhao Ji who danced in front of the emperor? That was the adopted daughter of his wife Zhao, her childhood sweetheart, and also his beloved concubine.
But he still tried his best to dedicate her to his father without mercy, abandoning her like a pair of worn shoes. "
Lu Yuan choked up and sighed sadly,
"So I finally understood that if the day of disaster really comes and there are no intact eggs in the nest, my fate will be hundreds of times worse than Zhao Ji's."
She raised her head and looked directly at Lu Shizhi. There were still wet tears in the corners of her eyes, but her tone was firm,
"Uncle, I don't want to die, and I don't want to be slaughtered by others.
I have taken root in Handan. Not only do I have to live a decent life, but I will also work hard to be your clairvoyant and helpful ear. I will not let the wolfish ambitions of Zhao’s monarchs and ministers succeed. "
***
It had only been a few short months since Liu Ji's personal conquest of the royal chariot passed through Handan and Zhao Ji performed the dance. The young and innocent eldest princess suddenly experienced utter disappointment and betrayal. Her originally plump little round face lost a lot of weight, and the contrast The eyes are bigger and the jaw is sharper.
Lu Shizhi felt a little ashamed.
"Now that I've said this, I won't hide it from you.
In fact, although you came to Zhao State of your own free will, in the final analysis, it was also an expedient measure of the imperial court.
As long as we can have more room to move, we shouldn't use a weak woman to delay the time. "
"It's okay,"
As soon as he heard these sincere words, Lu Yuan felt that tears were about to burst out of his eyes again. He took a few deep breaths and said,
"Back then, my uncle and my mother were held hostage in the Chu camp, and their lives were in danger every day. I still have the title of queen here, which is a huge difference.
However, the Zhao Kingdom seems to be calm, but the undercurrent is turbulent. Zhang Ao's city is very deep, and he has been secretly planning something with his old ministers.
It's a pity that they avoid people at all times when discussing matters, and he is very good at pretending. I am not very intelligent and cannot see through the situation they are planning for a while. "
"Well, your mother is actually most worried about you being trapped in love and not doing anything stupid.
Now that you have realized this level, it can be seen that you have broken through the blindness of the love between children. From then on, your ears and eyes will be clear, and you will not be able to establish if you don't break it. "
These words were filled with relief again, and he lowered his voice and warned,
"I'm going to Luoyang now, and I probably won't be back for a year or two.
If there is a sudden change, you should go to Zhang Canggong immediately, he is one of ours.
If you notice something strange and want to write a letter to Luoyang, you can also use his secret transmission channel. "
"I've written it all down, uncle, don't worry."
Lu Shizhi looked at this thin girl who was as tall as his shoulders, and he couldn't bear to see her grow up overnight.
"The situation in the court is turbulent and changing rapidly. It puts you, a little girl, alone in danger. I really feel -"
"——Uncle, there is no need to worry too much. Mother said early in the morning that if the sky collapses and the earth breaks apart, there will be Empress Nuwa who refines five-color stones to fill it. The sea is ruthless, and there will be Jingwei, the daughter of Emperor Yan, who holds the stone to fill it.
Even if the girls from our family cannot fill the sky and fill the sea, they will never be clinging and clinging flowers. "
Although he has lost a lot of weight, Lu Yuan's brows are inexplicably a bit more awe-inspiring and arrogant. He looks vaguely similar to Lu Pheasant.
"I will definitely assist Zhang Canggong, both inside and outside, to guard the great rivers and mountains in the north and prevent those evil spirits from succeeding."
***
In Luoyang Nangong Forbidden City, Zhang Liang and Liu Fei, who had been traveling all the way, finally met the people they had not seen for a long time.
After working hard in Longxi for half a year, Zhang Liang is almost as thin as a man. His originally gray beard and hair have turned completely white, and he looks as detached as a worldly master with immortal demeanor.
Liu Fei has become a lot stronger, and his original dandy habits have been washed away by the wind and sand in the northwest, and he has a somewhat scornful air about Fang Qiu.
Lu Pheasant couldn't help but smile to himself when he saw that he behaved cautiously and served Zhang Liang very respectfully. He simply obeyed his words.
I don’t know what tricks Zhang Zifang used in front of Liu Fei, but he actually subdued the spy sent by the emperor.
