Duan Wenjun has been studying hand crossbows these days.
This is the most suitable weapon he can think of now.
With Mo Shoucheng protecting him, he didn't have much sense of crisis before.
Especially now that he has achieved some success in Tai Chi and Juntiquan, he is more confident and doesn't have to worry too much about his own safety.
But the last time he was attacked, Zhongli, the white fox of the Desert Twin Foxes, kept suppressing him and beating him.
If it hadn't been for the timely help from Liu Like, I might have lost my life.
Whether he can condense Qi, and whether he has cultivation level close to him or not, the difference is really huge.
According to the situation of the fight at that time, if he only relied on moves to determine victory or defeat, Duan Wenjun concluded that even the two white fox Zhongli might not be his opponents.
However, the white fox Zhongli had a lot of cultivation, and when he showed his special skills, there was no possibility of him resisting.
Especially when he started to explode later, Duan Wenjun was almost certain that he would not be able to dodge his attack.
Fortunately, Liu Zan arrived in time and blocked the attack from the white fox Zhongli.
Moreover, Duan Wenjun understood that if Liu Zan had not fought hard with the white fox Zhongli, he would not have been able to escape and be so seriously injured when the wind and rain attacked.
Therefore, he must protect himself.
Otherwise, failing to protect yourself will be a drag on those around you.
Moreover, this time, the people in the escort camp suffered heavy casualties, so he had to improve their equipment.
In the smelting room of Qifengya, Ma Xinyuan and the others have started many new experiments.
Improving the quality of ironware is only a matter of time.
Regarding the configuration of the guard camp, Duan Wenjun planned to equip them with long knives, and then strive to build chain armor.
However, these things are very suitable for the men who train every day in the guard camp.
But for Duan Wenjun himself, it was not suitable.
After all, he couldn't possibly wear all these things with him, and with his current body, it would still be very laborious to fight.
Especially if you encounter an opponent like the white fox Zhongli, the situation will be even worse.
So, he thought of a hand crossbow.
The cuffs of Dashun’s clothes are so big.
The hand crossbow is not large and can be hidden in the sleeve, making it difficult for others to find.
If you are really in danger, you can pull the trigger directly in your sleeve and give the other party a chill, which is naturally the most effective method.
When he fought with the white fox Zhongli that day, if he had a hand crossbow in his sleeve, at such a close range, it would probably be a matter of minutes to kill him instantly.
When performing missions in previous lives, the firearms used could be different each time.
However, what has always been with him is a Swiss Army knife and a hand crossbow.
Even in that era of hot weapons, in many missions, he used hand crossbows to complete the missions brilliantly.
It seems that people in Dashun generally use bows and arrows, and few use crossbows.
Moreover, general crossbows are not small in size.
Every time a crossbow arrow is fired, the crossbow needs to be reloaded.
So, it's not very convenient.
It is also faster than a bow and arrow.
However, the hand crossbow Duan Wenjun wanted to make was not an ordinary crossbow.
Not only is it much smaller in size, but it is also a repeating hand crossbow.
According to the structure of the hand crossbow in the previous life, the hand crossbow he wanted to build could load three crossbow arrows at a time.
Moreover, there is a winch under the hand crossbow. As long as the winch can be turned, the three crossbow arrows in the spare box below can also be automatically loaded.
This also means that he can shoot six crossbow arrows in the shortest time.
Let alone an honest duel, this hand crossbow will definitely be faster than a bow and arrow.
But if it is used in a sneak attack, the chance of winning will be even greater.
However, the hand crossbows in the previous life were all made of alloy materials, which were not only very light but also very strong and strong.
With Dashun's current smelting technology, it is definitely impossible to achieve that level.
This also made him have higher expectations for Ma Xinyuan and the others.
If Ma Xinyuan and the others can make a breakthrough in their smelting technology, then many things can be improved.
Not only the hand crossbows that I am currently researching, but also the agricultural tools used by people, and the weapons and armors used by the guards...
After finishing the design drawing of the repeating hand crossbow and checking it carefully, Duan Wenjun stood up when he was sure that there was nothing wrong with it.
He originally wanted to go to Qifengya to see how Ma Xinyuan and the others were doing with their research, and by the way, he gave him the drawings of the crossbow for study, but unexpectedly Gu Hongfu rushed over in a hurry.
"Young master, Uncle Zhang has sent news that the angel is coming. Let's go to the door to greet him." Gu Hongfu, who had always been steady, seemed a little panicked at this moment.
"Angel?" Duan Wenjun was stunned.
"It's the person next to the emperor who delivers the imperial edict." Gu Hongfu explained hurriedly.
"Ah? What are they doing in Duanjiabao?" Duan Wenjun became even more confused.
If something happened and the emperor wanted to send someone to convey the imperial edict, then Chai Jingyun must have gotten the news long ago, and he should have sent a message to himself or something like that.
But I haven't heard anything, so it seems like it's not directed at me.
"The angel is here, of course he is here to deliver the message!" Gu Hongfu's face was stunned. "Uncle Zhang sent someone to tell him that the angel went to Wangjiang County, but could not find the young master's house, so he came directly here."
After speaking, he continued, "Uncle Zhang is coming here with the angel. At the same time, there are also the second son of Prince Rui's Mansion and the magistrate."
When Duan Wenjun heard this, he was slightly stunned.
Is this angel really here to find me?
He was very confused. This angel came to him and he didn't know what decree he was going to read.
However, doubts remain doubts, and this matter of receiving the order cannot be taken carelessly.
If he offends the angel who is delivering the message and goes back to report something evil in front of Emperor Shun, he will not be able to bear the burden and walk away.
So, he hurriedly took Gu Hongfu and Mo Shoucheng to the gate of Duanjiabao to wait.
When they just arrived at the door, they saw a horse team slowly coming towards the fields in the distance.
Fortunately, the roads in Duanjiabao have been well built these days. From the official road, a thoroughfare has been built, which is enough for two carriages to run parallelly.
Otherwise, the carriage in front of the cavalry team with a yellow flag and two horses pulling side by side might not be able to pass.
Following the carriage with the yellow flag in front was a large carriage.
Duan Wenjun is also very familiar with it, it is Chai Jingyun, the second son of Prince Rui's palace.
He had always thought that the carriage in Prince Rui's Mansion was very luxurious, but compared with the carriage in front of him today, it really pales in comparison.
Behind Chai Jingyun's carriage were two more ordinary carriages. You didn't need to guess to know that they were Guan Xing and Zhang Yuhen.
In a blink of an eye, the horse team has arrived at the door.
Just when Duan Wenjun and everyone were about to go forward to load their luggage, a man jumped out of the carriage, looked at him and laughed, "Mr. Duan, we meet again."
