The most romantic little emperor

Chapter 174 Qin's Crossbow

After Li Zhen walked out of the court, all the civil and military officials came to their senses and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that Marquis Li Zhen was indeed the military god of Daxia.

It was like a little cow riding a plane, and she was so awesome that she easily won the position of General of Qinglong Guard for her son.

Su Zhengfang stood there unwillingly and trembling with anger. It was so damn embarrassing. He lost both the wife and the army and got nothing in return.

Qin Hao was afraid of something unexpected happening, so he wrote an edict, sealed it with the imperial seal, and said to Gao Lishi, "Announce this king's edict, and promote Li Mu, the former lieutenant general of the right camp, to be the general of the Azure Dragon Guard and command the Azure Dragon Guard. He will take up the post immediately and there must be no mistakes."

Gao Lishi bowed his head and accepted the order, then hurried away with the decree.

After finishing this matter, Qin Hao was in a good mood and said to all the civil and military officials in the court: "Tomorrow is the day of my wedding, so I will take a day off. I invite all the nobles to attend my wedding. I hope you will show up."

All the ministers congratulated the prince and said they would definitely attend.

……

After the morning court session, Qin Hao just returned to the East Palace and saw the head craftsman Lu Ni waiting at the door.

Lu Ni came to Qin Hao, knelt on the ground, and said happily: "Your Highness, I have already done what you asked me to do. Please go and check the results."

"Great."

Qin Hao was very happy after hearing this. "Let's go and show this king the results of your inventions."

When he arrived at the craftsmen's workshop, the craftsmen were working busily. When they saw the prince coming, they all bowed to him.

Qin Hao raised his hand to signal them to continue their work, while he looked around under the guidance of Lu Ni.

The entire workshop was busy and orderly, and every craftsman was working attentively. Qin Hao's arrival undoubtedly brought them great encouragement, and they worked harder.

Qin Hao saw the tools in their hands, some were as delicate as silk, some were rough and bold, but they were all transformed into exquisite instruments and handicrafts under their skillful hands.

Lu Ni led Qin Hao into the room, where various instruments and handicrafts were piled up.

Qin Hao asked A Yue to notify the guards to move all these things out of the room. He wanted to try the power of these things.

Soon, these things were moved into the courtyard.

At this time, Liang Hongyu wanted to challenge A Yue to a duel, and heard the news and came here.

Seeing Qin Hao here, she was very happy and quickly walked over to him and asked softly, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Qin Hao touched Liang Hongyu's pretty face and laughed, "Hongyu, you came at the right time. I just want to show you some good things."

"What good stuff is this! Are they these weird things?" Liang Hongyu asked in confusion.

Qin Hao patiently explained: "Don't underestimate these things, they will be of great use in the future."

Liang Hongyu casually opened an exquisite box and saw various small wooden blocks inside, with various strange patterns engraved on them, including birds, round balls, etc.

Liang Hongyu was very curious. She picked up the piece of wood with the bird pattern and asked quickly, "Your Highness, this bird is so cute! What is it used for?"

Qin Hao smiled and said carefully: "This is called Mahjong, a board game. I will teach you how to play it later."

"Also, the card you have in your hand is not a bird, but a chicken."

"Little Chicken? This is clearly a bird, how can it be a chicken?"

Liang Hongyu was puzzled and turned to ask Ah Yue who was not far away: "Sister Yue, do you think this is a bird or a chicken?"

Ah Yue laughed and said, "Sister Hongyu, you are so childish to ask such a question. You have been in the martial arts world for so many years, how can you not be able to tell the difference between chickens and birds?"

Liang Hongyu said dissatisfiedly: "Then tell me, is this a chicken? Or a bird?"

"This is obviously a bird, how can it be a chicken? Look how lifelike and beautiful this bird is!"

"I also think it is a bird, but your highness said it is a chicken."

"Ah? Your Highness said it was a chicken?"

Ah Yue was also very confused, but soon she figured it out and whispered to Liang Hongyu, "His Highness has rarely been out of the palace, so it's normal that he doesn't know what a chicken is. If he says a chicken is a chicken, don't make him unhappy."

Liang Hongyu nodded and smiled softly, "I understand."

……

At this moment, Qin Hao was playing with a crossbow. A trace of admiration flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Sure enough, the wisdom of ancient craftsmen is infinite. I only gave them a blueprint, and they were able to make such a sophisticated weapon in such a short time."

Their skills are so exquisite and so advanced that one cannot help but admire them.

Qin Hao couldn't help but think of his mission. He wanted to build a powerful army. He needed to use their technology and wisdom to create more military equipment to achieve this goal.

At this time, Ah Yue came over. She saw the crossbow in Qin Hao's hand and praised him: "Your Highness, the crossbow in your hand is so unique!"

When Liang Hongyu heard Ah Yue's words, she put down the bird mahjong in her hand, ran over quickly, and said in surprise: "Your Highness, let me try the power of this crossbow."

Qin Hao smiled slightly, picked up the prepared arrows and loaded them into the crossbow. After telling her how to operate it, he handed it to Liang Hongyu.

Liang Hongyu couldn't let go of the crossbow. After examining it carefully for a moment, she understood the firing principle of the crossbow.

She aimed at the tree trunk about five or six feet ahead and fired the crossbow arrow.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Soon, the sound of arrows breaking through the air was heard. A total of ten crossbow arrows were fired quickly, each with great force, and all shot into the tree trunks not far away.

"This is really a good thing! It is much more powerful than the sleeve arrow." Liang Hongyu said in shock.

Ah Yue rushed to the tree, quickly retrieved the ten arrows, and said in surprise: "Your Highness, this crossbow is very powerful. The arrows penetrated the wood as deep as two fingers."

"The normal range should be around fifteen feet, but fifteen feet is not enough to kill the enemy. If it is accurate within ten feet, it can kill the enemy instantly without any problem."

As a member of the Shadow Guard, A Yue naturally knows more about this crossbow than anyone else. This is her objective evaluation of the crossbow.

Liang Hongyu looked at the crossbow in her hand and praised it generously, "This crossbow is really ingenious and very suitable for assassination."

"If this weapon is deployed on a large scale in the military, it will definitely catch the enemy by surprise and cause them to be routed."

Ah Yue agreed and explained, "The crossbows currently equipped in the two battalions and four guards can only fire three arrows at the same time, and their power is less than half of this crossbow. If we can equip our army with this, our strength will be greatly enhanced."

Qin Hao nodded and said calmly: "This is a crossbow specially designed by the king. Its main purpose is to equip the army."

"Your Highness, you should give such a powerful weapon a resounding name," Liang Hongyu suggested.

"Hmm? Good idea. This is the repeating crossbow I made. Let's call it the Qin's Repeating Crossbow!"

Qin Hao shamelessly took the Zhuge Crossbow for himself.
