Chapter 936: Divine Arrow
After seeing Shangguan Qiong, Princess Xingyue showed even more ecstasy, and the ministers of the Xuanwu Kingdom were divided into two factions, the faction loyal to the royal family and the faction loyal to the queen's mother, Wu Yueniang.
At present, the strength of the two factions is equal, and Shangguan Qiong, the deputy commander of the Ouchi Guard in front of him, is a diehard loyalist of the Xuanwu royal family, and he is a person who can be completely trusted.
She said: "Shangguan Commander, Xiahou Hongxiang wants to be disrespectful to the palace, come and escort it!"
"Princess, don't panic, no one will hurt you!"
As an important minister of the Xuanwu Kingdom, Shangguan Qiong knew very well that Xiahou Hongxiang was a person belonging to the queen's faction, so he turned around and glared at him angrily and said, "Xiahou Hongxiang, you are so bold, you dare to be disrespectful to the princess, do you want to rebel?"
As he spoke, the momentum of the master who belonged to the late stage of the merger suddenly exploded.
Feeling the powerful momentum of the other party, Xiahou Hongxiang felt a pang in his heart, and the anger in his heart subsided a lot, and he slowly regained his senses.
His brain was spinning, thinking about how to deal with the situation in front of him.
Although Shangguan Qiong is a level higher than his cultivation, he still can't resist his power, as long as he gives an order, ten thousand arrows are fired, and none of the people present will survive.
But if he did, he couldn't afford the consequences.
If he only killed Princess Xingyue and others, he could still shift the blame to the Ghost King Sect, but if the deputy commander of the Xuanwu Kingdom Guard was shot as soon as he arrived in Tianma City, he couldn't explain it to Zhao Xianlong anyway.
He is just a vassal of Queen Wu Yueniang, and he can still survive on the two big trees of Wu Yueniang and the eldest grandson Chengdu.
If you really want to be labeled as a rebel, not only will your current power not be guaranteed, but even the Xiahou family will be wiped out by the Nine Clans.
Thinking of this, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, stepped forward and said respectfully: "Deputy Commander Shangguan, I misunderstood, the old man was just a little emotionally out of control because the dog was injured, how dare he be disrespectful to Her Royal Highness the princess." ”
Shangguan Qiong snorted coldly: "Forgive you and don't dare, Her Royal Highness the princess is the daughter of the king, a daughter, not something you can offend." ”
"What General Shangguan said is that it was indeed the old man who had a gaffe just now, and now he will make amends to Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
Xiahou Hongxiang is also an old fox, able to bend and stretch, and now he has suppressed the anger in his heart, and came to Zhao Xingyue and bowed respectfully, "Please also ask Her Royal Highness the princess to forgive your sins." ”
The little witch's heart was also relaxed, and she was about to say a few sarcastic words, but was stopped by Qin Haodong.
He is very aware of the situation in front of him, what can suppress Xiahou Hongxiang is not their strength, but the prestige of the royal family, if he really provokes this old guy again, things will be in trouble.
Princess Xingyue snorted coldly and said, "I will report the matter in Tianma City to my father truthfully." ”
Xiahou Hongxiang said respectfully: "This time the princess arrived and her subordinates were indeed not well entertained, and when she went back, she wrote a chapter to ask the king for guilt." ”
Shangguan Qiong was slightly stunned, in the past, when she was in the palace, Princess Xingyue was known to be timid, and when she encountered this situation, she had already made a promise, where is the current power.
It seems that leaving secretly this time has really changed a lot for the princess.
Xiahou Hongxiang said again: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, General Shangguan, please also move to my City Lord's Mansion, and the old man will set up a banquet to make amends for the two of you." ”
Princess Xingyue said, "I don't dare to eat your banquet. ”
This is both anger and a real thought in the mind, as long as you stay in Pegasus City for a few more moments, it will be more dangerous, and it is better to leave as soon as possible.
She turned her head to Shangguan Qiong and said, "Let's go, and these friends of mine, they are all going to Wangcheng together!"
"Subordinates obey!"
Shangguan Qiong agreed, and commanded his guards to protect Princess Xingyue and Qin Haodong and others in the center, and flew towards the direction of Xuanwu King City together.
"Subordinates send off Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Shangguan Hongxiang took Jiang Bin and his soldiers to bow down and salute together, until the figures of Princess Xingyue and the others disappeared into the sky, then he slowly stood up, and a trace of irrepressible hatred flashed in his eyes.
He dismissed the soldiers around him, and said to Jiang Bin through gritted teeth: "You immediately select three thousand soldiers, and we will follow immediately, as long as Princess Xingyue leaves the jurisdiction of Tianma City, we will do it immediately!"
Whether it's Princess Xingyue or the kid surnamed Qin, kill them all, and leave no one behind!"
"Subordinates obey!"
Jiang Bin is his hardcore confidant, even if he does not hesitate to do anything to the Xuanwu royal family.
Xiahou Hongxiang said again: "This matter must be carefully planned, don't show your feet, 3,000 soldiers must not only be strong, but also loyal, don't leak the news."
"My subordinates understand!"
Jiang Bin agreed, and immediately went to gather people.
Xiahou Hongxiang looked at the direction Qin Haodong and they left, and shouted with a look of resentment: "Qin Haodong, Zhao Xingyue, you wait for me, the old man will not kill you and swear not to be a man!"
Qin Haodong and the others galloped all the way, and when it was close to evening, they finally left the jurisdiction of Tianma City.
In front of them was a large forest with no end in sight, the largest and most famous Doomsday Forest in the Xuanwu Kingdom.
Zhao Xingyue let out a sigh of relief and said softly, "I finally left Tianma City, and now I am finally safe." ”
Qin Haodong shook his head and said, "You are wrong, as long as we are not out of the jurisdiction of Tianma City, Xiahou Hongxiang will not do anything to us, then he will bear joint and several liability."
It's different now, as long as you leave Tianma City, the responsibility for what happens to the princess is General Shangguan's, and it has nothing to do with him, so I guess Xiahou Hongxiang will do it soon. ”
Shangguan Qiong had been guarding beside him, and when he heard these words, he snorted disdainfully: "Young man, you guessed wrong, you underestimated the power of our Xuanwu Kingdom.
Xiahou Hongxiang is just a small city lord, and he doesn't dare to do anything to Her Royal Highness the princess if he has the courage to do it. ”
After half a day of getting along, Qin Haodong already has some understanding of the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, this guy has enough loyalty to the royal family, but he is too upright and arrogant, and he doesn't take anyone else in his eyes at all.
Just now, Xiahou Hongxiang was ready to make a move in Tianma City, and he didn't have much fear of the royal family, so what else did he not dare. Now it's just a matter of waiting for the right time to find a suitable place.
He said: "General Shangguan, I think it's better for us to be careful, only by returning to the royal city of the Xuanwu Kingdom as soon as possible can we be considered completely safe." ”
"Young man, your guts are too small. Shangguan Qiong shook her head and said, "As long as I am here, the princess's safety does not have to worry at all." ”
Seeing that he looked down on Qin Haodong, Zhao Xingyue frowned and said, "General Shangguan, Brother Qin is my friend, if it wasn't for his help, I would have died a long time ago."
I think what Brother Qin said makes sense, let's hurry back to the royal city. ”
Although Shangguan Qiong was arrogant, she still maintained enough respect for Princess Xingyue, and said, "Your Royal Highness, there is the Doomsday Mountain Range ahead.
There are a lot of monsters here, and it's really dangerous to pass through at night, so why don't we camp here first and leave tomorrow. ”
"This ......" Zhao Xingyue looked at Qin Haodong, wanting to ask for his opinion.
Qin Haodong thought about it, even an arrogant person like Shangguan Qiong said that the Doomsday Forest was dangerous, and it must be a bit too risky to pass through at night.
He said, "Alright then, let's rest here and leave early tomorrow morning." ”
So far, he can only hope that Xiahou Hongxiang will not do it here.
Shangguan Qiong chose a flat valley, and then commanded his guards to clean up the site, set up tents, and a group of more than 20 people camped here.
When everything was ready, everyone sat together and chatted while roasting the game they had hunted.
After chatting for a while, Qin Haodong asked, "General Shangguan, what's the matter with the Zhushen Arrow, it looks like an ordinary bow and arrow, why does it feel so powerful?"
After seeing the Zhushen Arrow for the first time, he had this question in his heart, but there was no suitable person to ask.
The people around him were all students of Xuanwu Academy, and they had never been in contact with the Zhushen Arrow at all, and it was impossible for Xiahou Hongxiang and those people to tell him.
Shangguan Qiong said: "The Zhushen Arrow is a heavy weapon issued by the Xuanwu Kingdom, and it is a matter of military secrets, and it cannot be revealed casually. ”
Zhao Xingyue said a little unhappily: "General Shangguan, I have already told you, these are my good friends, especially for Brother Qin, there is nothing to keep secret." ”
"Well, since Her Royal Highness the princess said it, then I'll tell you what the Divine Arrow is. ”
Shangguan Qiong said, "In terms of force, the Xuanwu Kingdom is the weakest of the four kingdoms in the Lingwu Continent, and the reason why it can gain a firm foothold is because of the Zhushen Arrow.
The Divine Arrow is powerful because of its refining process, which is refined through the Xuanwu Kingdom's top-level spiritual treasure Xuanyin Gathering Furnace, and each arrow has an extremely thick evil aura on it.
Generally speaking, ordinary bows and arrows can't break through the defenders of cultivators at all, but the Divine Punishment Arrow that contains evil qi is different, it can easily break through the true qi of the cultivator's body, and directly attack the physical body. ”
"So that's the case, no wonder it's so powerful!"
Qin Haodong said in amazement.
Generally speaking, after cultivating to reach the realm of transforming into a god, even ordinary bullets can't break through the true qi of the body, but this divine arrow actually has this kind of power.
Shangguan Qiong said: "Of course, otherwise how could it be named Zhushen Arrow, which means the power of killing the gods in the sky."
If you face a single arrow of the gods, it is still possible to dodge, but in the face of hundreds or thousands of archers, even the monks of the Mahayana period will not be able to get any benefits. ”
The little witch said: "Since it is so powerful, why hasn't our Xuanwu Kingdom unified the Lingwu Continent?"
Shangguan Qiong said: "Things are not so simple, every time the Xuanyin Gathering Furnace is activated, it will consume a large amount of top-grade spirit stones, so the Divine Punishment Arrow cannot be produced on a large scale, and it is good to be able to protect itself."
In our Xuanwu Kingdom, only the top five big cities are distributed with Divine Arrows, and they are still in limited supply, and they cannot be universally installed. ”
Qin Haodong nodded slightly, like this powerful divine weapon, and more importantly, the deterrent effect, somewhat similar to the earth's nuclear weapons.
Once a full-scale war is really launched, I am afraid that the financial resources of the Xuanwu Kingdom will not be able to bear it.
Suddenly, his heart moved, and an idea popped into his mind.
The Divine Sword is just an ordinary bow and arrow, the only difference is that it is refined through the Xuanyin Gathering Furnace, which contains an extremely strong evil qi.
And I have a large number of modern weapons here, if the bullets of the sniper rifle are refined in the Xuanyin Gathering Furnace, what kind of effect will it have?
Will it be able to easily snipe the strong people in the merger period, or even the Mahayana period?
This idea made him excited, after coming to the Lingwu Continent, his cultivation was still a little worse after all, if the bullets of the Gatling heavy machine gun and sniper rifle brought from the earth were refined with the Xuanyin Gathering Furnace, then it was not a god blocking and killing God, and a Buddha blocking and killing Buddha?
