Chapter 42: Crossbow Arrows
This mountain is not high, but it can basically overlook the current situation of the entire Funan City, Su Zhiyuan looked at the fireworks in the distance, and knew that the enemy was stationed there.
Shangguan Yan said: "In the past two years, Xuanyue has become more and more arrogant, so the deployment of our side has also changed from time to time, you see, there are our flags on the other side of the wall." ”
Sure enough, there was a big flag at the head of each wall, and the flags basically looked the same, but in Shangguan Yan's eyes, each flag had a different meaning.
Under Shangguan Yan's explanation, Su Zhiyuan quickly wrote down the meaning of each flag, she wrote down the position of all the flags, and Shangguan Yan took her around again.
"Funan City is very small, but it is the place where our Heavenly Domain and Xuanyue have the most confrontations, and the reason is because of the mountain under our feet." Shangguan Yan grew up here, so she naturally knows everything here.
"Is there anything wrong with this mountain?" Su Zhiyuan didn't know.
"You see, this is the highest in a radius of twenty miles, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and standing here can monitor all the enemies under the mountain, so they only dare to be stationed twenty miles away, bullying us too far away to see." Shangguan Yan said indignantly.
"That's right."
"In fact, just for this mountain, there will be some friction every year, at the beginning, this mountain was considered the dividing line, and then His Royal Highness King Qi came down, forced them to go twenty miles away, and then took this mountain as the center and rebuilt Funan City." Shangguan Yan continued to explain.
At this time, Su Zhiyuan was completely stunned, it was actually related to Sikong Mubai, such a powerful strategic decision, no wonder everyone said that he was the god of war.
"What, what's the problem?" Shangguan Yan saw that she was suddenly in a daze, and she didn't pay attention to what she said, thinking that something had happened to her.
"Huh?" Su Zhiyuan came back to his senses and quickly shook his head: "It's okay, I was just thinking, His Royal Highness King Qi is quite powerful." ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness has also been here for three years, and only one Funan City has been built in three years, which has completely broken the illusions of the Xuanyue people, and now we can see it as long as they move, so basically they have no hope of victory." Shangguan Yan seemed to worship Sikong Mubai very much.
"Yes." Seeing Sikong Mubai's name coming out of the mouth of another girl, such a charming and courageous look, Su Zhiyuan couldn't help but think of Sikong Mubai, who had now returned to Beijing.
"Yes, you grew up in the capital, you should know His Royal Highness King Qi, tell me, how is he in the capital? Speaking of which, I haven't seen His Highness for two years. ”
Shangguan Yan suddenly thought that she was from the capital, and she must know a lot of things about Sikong Mubai.
Su Zhiyuan didn't really want to talk about this topic, so he simply said a few words and pulled it away.
Seeing Su Zhiyuan like this, Shangguan Yan thought she was tired, so she hurriedly said: "I'll take you to catch rabbits, pheasants, are you tired, I said that you are not interested in these things." ”
Su Zhiyuan hurriedly shook his head: "No, Funan City is very good, I understand the reason why my brother has been staying here." ”
The two of them talked and laughed again, Shangguan Yan was very familiar with this place, originally there were a lot of sentinels stationed on this mountain, so it was forbidden for people to go up the mountain to hunt and chop wood, but Shangguan Yan was different, with her with her, the two of them really harvested a lot.
Just after the two of them caught three hares and shot two pheasants, Su Zhiyuan really found the kind of snake she said.
The red flower on a black background, and the blue light on the body is still glowing, which looks very scary.
Su Zhiyuan was naturally not afraid of it, so at the moment when he pounced, Su Zhiyuan's sister threw the dagger over, and quickly and accurately inserted it directly into the snake's seven inches, and the snake struggled on the ground for a while, and finally stopped moving.
Su Zhiyuan walked over, slowly picked it up, and checked it for a long time, Shangguan Yan was originally catching another rabbit, and when he turned around, he saw this scene, and he was so frightened that the three souls were gone: "Ah! You're throwing it away! ”
Su Zhiyuan glanced up at her slightly: "It's okay, it's dead." ”
"Huh?" Shangguan Yan felt that her heart was about to jump out, so she hurriedly walked over, looked up and down and checked Su Zhiyuan's whole body, and made sure that she was not bitten, so she was relieved, patted her heart, and suddenly asked, "You killed it?" ”
Su Zhiyuan threw the snake into the basket and nodded: "I just wanted to study it, but I didn't expect it to want to bite me, so I killed it." ”
Shangguan Yan silently gave her a thumbs up: "Are all the girls in the capital so powerful?" ”
Su Zhiyuan didn't know how to answer.
"You know what? There are more than a dozen of them here every year because of the Orion and Chai Fu who are bitten to death and poisoned, and there is almost no possibility of leaving their lives, and you are still going to provoke! Shangguan Yan seemed to react as she spoke: "You mean, you want to study it?" ”
"Since what you said is so serious, I'll see if there is any snake medicine that can effectively treat the snake venom bitten by it." Su Zhiyuan didn't dare to pack a ticket, after all, this was a snake that he had never seen.
"No, our most famous doctor here only said that if you are bitten by this snake, you should cut off the bite on the spot to achieve the effect of saving your life." Shangguan Yan said: "Anyway, I'm so big, I've only seen three people survive, and they all used the method that the doctor said." ”
Is it so ruthless?
Su Zhiyuan secretly shuddered, this kind of treatment is too ruthless, right?
"It's okay, leave it to me."
In the next few days, Su Zhiyuan and Shangguan Yan ran around in the mountains, and they also specially asked Su Linghao to help her make an iron fine mesh box for raising snakes.
Shangguan Yan saw that she was so serious, and she could only run around with her, but she also hoped from the bottom of her heart that Su Zhiyuan could really study this drug.
Su Zhiyuan raised more than a dozen snakes, each snake was marked, and applied for a few horses with Su Linghao, she was ready to use modern methods to make snake venom.
At first, Su Linghao also felt that she was just messing around, but as she did it so seriously and did not relax at all, she slowly changed her opinion, and finally asked He Zhenzhen to follow her to do this experiment and encourage her to succeed as soon as possible.
While developing snake venom serum, Su Zhiyuan was not idle, as long as he had time, he would follow Su Linghao to the city wall to see the defense.
The brother and sister sometimes discuss some combat skills, Su Zhiyuan has read a lot of books, and the work of talking on paper is still good, Su Linghao has always been a realist with practical experience, so as long as Su Zhiyuan can say it, he can basically practice it.
One day, Su Zhiyuan was studying the map that Su Linghao gave her, and secretly thought about how to correct the possible deviations of this map, when she suddenly heard a loud eagle call, Su Zhiyuan poked her head out of the window and took a look, and was attracted by the eagle in the sky.
And just when she was surprised that this bird was so big, she suddenly saw this arrow shooting towards the eagle at great speed, but the eagle was not afraid at all, and directly used its wings to block the strong castration arrow.
Su Zhiyuan looked in the direction where the arrow came from, and it was Shangguan Yan who was shooting it with a bow.
"This flat-haired beast is the most hateful, if it hadn't discovered us last time, the enemy would not have been able to surround us." An arrow missed, and Shangguan Yan scolded angrily.
Su Zhiyuan hurriedly ran out and asked, "This is the Hai Dongqing you are talking about?" ”
Shangguan Yan held the bow in one hand, watched the bird fly farther and farther, and stomped her foot angrily: "Hmph, one day, my aunt and grandmother will take it to stew soup!" ”
Su Zhiyuan looked at her and a beast angry, and thought it was quite cute.
"Does the other party have a lot of such Hai Dongqing?"
Su Zhiyuan asked, if there are so many birds, there shouldn't be so many snakes on the ground, right?
"Hmph, just such a one annoys people to death, how can there be a lot of them, just this one, angry, every time we go out to investigate, we have to be careful of this thing, the eyes are so good, if we are not careful, we will be discovered by it, we have several people trapped in it."
Thinking of the comrades-in-arms who had been captured by the enemy before, Shangguan Yan kicked the stones on the road with great resentment.
Su Zhiyuan thought for a while: "You and I go to find my brother, I have a way to help you take revenge." ”
"Really?"
As soon as she heard Su Zhiyuan say that there was a way, Shangguan Yan's eyes lit up.
During this time, Shangguan Yan has seen Su Zhiyuan's cleverness more than once, so as long as Su Zhiyuan says that there is a way, then there must be a way.
Su Linghao was also upset about this bird, because of its existence, it became more difficult every time he went out to investigate the military situation, and he almost even folded Shangguan Yan in it last time, so it was very necessary, and he had to get rid of this beast immediately.
As soon as he heard Su Zhiyuan say that there was a way, Su Linghao asked, "You say?" ”
"Recently, I thought of a weapon that I had seen in a book before, which was very suitable for Sister Shangguan, and now it seems that it needs to be built as soon as possible."
Su Zhiyuan took out the repeater diagram he had drawn before and handed it to Su Linghao and Shangguan Yan to see.
Shangguan Yan is good at shooting, but girls are naturally weaker than boys in this area, so no matter how much Shangguan Yan practices, she can't compare to those who are born with divine power.
But if the repeater is really made, it will definitely be able to make Shangguan Yan's archery go further.
"Where did you see this?"
Su Linghao felt that he had been well-read over the years, but he didn't expect to lose to his sister who was hiding in his boudoir.
Shangguan Yan was also bright-eyed, even the crossbow, or the nine-consecutive crossbow, the most I could see in the past was the three-link, or the car crossbow, there was one on the tower of their city, but I didn't expect that Su Zhiyuan could be changed into a small crossbow, or nine consecutive shots.
"I just don't know if this thing can be made, if I really can't make it, when I return to Beijing, I will ask His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness the Fourth Highness to help, maybe there are skilled craftsmen in the palace who can make it."
Su Zhiyuan didn't expect much originally.
Shangguan Yan laughed: "Sister Su, then you don't know, this thing, we can do it here, as long as you can come up with the drawings, we have someone here who can make it, isn't it, general?" ”
Su Zhiyuan saw that Shangguan Yan had also sold Guanzi, so he asked, "Big brother, whose hands are so skillful?" ”
"My brother saved a military slave three years ago, and he said that he could do a machine, I have seen it, and it is indeed very good, but because of his identity, he can't see the light, so don't ask."
Su Linghao is still very serious about this matter, after all, a life is involved, even if it is his own sister, he must have scruples.
"Okay, then you let people do it, if you do it well, maybe you can beat that flat-haired beast down when you turn around." Su Zhiyuan knew that Su Linghao was also very worried about this matter.
"Okay, if he has any questions, I'm here to ask you."
Su Linghao took the drawings and went to the craftsman to make crossbow arrows.
Shangguan Yan looked at Su Zhiyuan with a very envious look: "I really envy you for being able to read any book, I don't like to read since I was a child, I like to dance with knives and guns, so when I grow up, I can only be with this group of big-headed soldiers." ”
"That's because you don't see what you like, you see what you like, you can still watch it." Su Zhiyuan just chuckled, why didn't she envy Shangguan Yan, although she had no mother since she was a child, she grew up under the care of her father since she was a child, and she could live her life freely when she grew up.
