Soon the day of autumn hunting arrived, and the emperor brought many royal relatives to the royal hunting ground. The entire hunting ground was surveyed by the imperial guards to prevent any omissions.

The emperor sat in the main seat, and next to him were the newly favored Concubine Lin and Concubine Chen, all with smiles on their faces.

The contestants below were either princes or heirs. Only one princess, Xilingxue, stood out among them. She looked particularly petite and delicate, yet still graceful.

"Among my princesses, only Xue'er has such courage and determination. She is not inferior to anyone when compared with many princes."

"Although she is young, she gives people the feeling of a heroic female general."

"Thanks to Concubine Chen for giving me such an excellent princess."

Not to be outdone, Concubine Lin smiled and said, "The third princess looks very much like the emperor, and has the demeanor of the emperor when he was young."

Concubine Lin was very good at speaking and she praised both the Emperor and the third princess, making the Emperor laugh out loud.

"Lady Lin is still good at talking. My princess must look like me. This is beyond doubt."

"Whoever wins the first prize today will be awarded the Heaven-shaking Bow that the late emperor gave me. You can only hunt by yourself and no one else is allowed to do it for you, otherwise it will not count."

"Yes."

All the contestants were holding bows and arrows, waiting for the emperor's order. Only Xi Lingxue was holding something that no one recognized, making her look out of place.

"Xue'er, what do you have in your hand? Why don't you hold a bow and arrow?"

"Reporting to the Emperor, this is something I designed myself. It's called a crossbow. It has a longer range than a bow and arrow, is more lethal, and has a better hit rate."

"Today I went hunting with a small crossbow. It's light and easy to carry, and doesn't require much effort. Once I aim at the target, an arrow can pierce the clouds and split the rocks."

"If it's a powerful crossbow, it can reach up to 600 meters, and a super-large one can reach even further, but a bow and arrow can only reach 200 to 300 meters."

"It's so amazing, I want to try it myself."

The emperor hurried to Xi Lingxue, looked at the crossbow in her hand curiously, and couldn't let it go.

"Father, let me tell you how to use it."

"My third princess is amazing. She is not inferior to any man. Not only is she a martial arts expert, but she can also design weapons by herself. Father didn't even know you had this ability. You are truly a role model for all men and women in the Wei Dynasty."

"Father, please stop praising me, or I will be embarrassed."

"My princess has wiped out hundreds of bandits by herself, and she can also make weapons. Father is proud of you."

"It is an honor for me to be able to help my father with the crossbow I designed."

"After I tried it, I found it useful. Father ordered the Ministry of Industry to produce it in large quantities. You go to the Ministry of Industry to provide guidance."

"My son, I obey."

Everyone present was surprised. The Third Princess was not only good at martial arts, but also capable of designing weapons. If these weapons were used in the military camp, the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty would be even more powerful and would soon become the strongest country.

Many people feel proud, while others want to get rid of it as soon as possible so that it does not hinder their progress.

"Father, let me show you how. First, pull the jute string into the slot, put the arrow in the slot, and then pull the trigger to shoot the arrow."

An arrow shot across the sky like a meteor and hit a distant tree branch.

Everyone was shocked to see that such a small crossbow was more powerful than a bow and arrow.

"Father, please try the power of this crossbow."

The emperor shot the arrow just as Xi Lingxue had done, and the arrow went very far.

"Xue'er, the emperor will immediately order the Ministry of Works to start making bows and crossbows. Tomorrow you will follow the emperor to the Ministry of Works to teach them how to make bows and crossbows. With bows and crossbows, the army will be more powerful and will be able to deter other countries."

"Yes."

The emperor reluctantly handed the crossbow to Xi Lingxue, and she could see that the emperor liked it.

"Father, I will give you this crossbow after the competition."

"This is the first crossbow made by my princess. Father placed it in the Yangxin Palace for future generations to admire Xue'er's extraordinary intelligence."

Xi Lingxue thought to herself, I still have seven or eight bows and crossbows in my space.

It was difficult to make guns in ancient times, but it was easy to make cold weapons like this.

During this period, she studied bows and crossbows in space every day, and also wanted to try to make guns, but she lacked a lot of things. She was still hesitating whether to bring this hot weapon into ancient times too early.

The other princes and the crown princes also wanted the crossbow in Xi Lingxue's hand, but how could they snatch it from the emperor? They could only wait for the Ministry of Works to produce it.

"start."

The contestants rode into the hunting grounds with their guards. Xi Lingxue, Jiuzhou and the other two also entered the hunting grounds.

"Princess, I will go ahead and scout the way. I am worried that someone has set an ambush."

"No, everyone be careful."

"Yes."

The second prince glanced at Lin Yi and nodded slightly.

"Master, don't worry. Even if we catch the murderer, it has nothing to do with us."

"Okay. Let's continue hunting. Today, I must get the Heaven-shaking Bow from my father's hand."

Xi Lingxue and the others were moving forward when they suddenly felt some movement.

"There are assassins."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiuzhou's horse was hit by a hidden weapon and fell forward. He was thrown far away from the horse's back and stood up while enduring the pain.

Many men in black flew in from all directions, surrounded Xi Lingxue, and attacked fiercely with swords.

Jiusi, Jiushuang and others were held tightly by many men in black, who prevented them from helping Xi Lingxue.

Xi Lingxue used his Qing Kung Fu to jump down and put the crossbow into the space, then took out the Seven-Star Sword from the space and swept it across, with cold light emitting everywhere and knocking down several people.

Seeing their companions fall, they attacked more fiercely. Xi Lingxue sprinkled poison in the air, and the poison fell from the sky and another group of people fell. Suddenly, screams were heard, scaring the surrounding animals and making them flee in all directions.

A dozen men in black dodged Xi Lingxue's poison and flew into the air to surround her. They flashed behind the enemy like ghosts and attacked with swords.

They fell from mid-air and if they didn't die, they would be seriously injured.

A few others turned around and rushed towards Xi Lingxue. She flipped over in the air and landed on her feet thankfully silently, like a flying bird, coming and going freely.

Several people also flew over. She kicked the oncoming murderer hard in the chest, kicking him back.

He suddenly swung his sword and swept it across, and they fell one after another. The tip of the sword was shining coldly and seemed to be dripping with red blood.

After dealing with the men in black, they quickly came to Jiuzhou and the others. Although they strangled the enemies, they were also covered in wounds.

She quickly took out some hemostatic medicine from the space and handed it to them, "Take it to stop the bleeding. I'll bandage your wounds."

"I dare not trouble the princess. We will solve it ourselves."

"Okay, you guys bandage the wounds and take the living killer out. I'll go out and see how my father and mother are doing."

"Yes."

She paused, then flew towards the entrance of the hunting ground as lightly as a swallow, stepping on the treetops.
