In the hall of the samurai mansion where the clan was located, Ishikawa Goemon, who was lurking on the roof at the moment, couldn't help but get nervous after hearing that the contents of this box were so powerful. (Novel.com!) ann.）

Although he had already determined that she was not a ninja when the woman first entered the hall, he still didn't dare to be careless now, and he could only protect in secret when there was no call from the lord, but what the woman said was too alarmist, even if the lord did not order, he had to show up and go to the lord's side to protect.

Thinking of this, I saw Ishikawa Goemon jumping down from the room, and after saluting the lord first, he quickly came to the front of him, and used his short body to block the clan in front of the clan, so that even if this woman wanted to be unfavorable to the lord, she would have herself in front of the lord.

Reiko Omiya, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly had an extra person in front of her, and she couldn't help but look up, not only did she see a heavily armed ninja, but also saw the Takayama clan on the main throne, and when she saw the handsome and majestic face of the clan, her cheeks also became rosy.

Is this Lord Takayama, he looks more handsome than the rumors, and he is as young and tall as he thinks, if he can really marry him as a concubine, even if he dies, there will be no regrets, bah, bah, bah, pity, you want to accompany Lord Takayama for a lifetime, how can you die easily, and don't think about these unlucky things in the future.

When Reiko Omiya still wanted to take a few more glances at the Takayama clan, Ishikawa Goemon had already blocked her vision, and at this time, she had already come back to her senses, only to see her open the wooden box with her slender jade hand, and said: "This is what my father gave to Takayama-sama, please take a look." ”

And at the same time as she opened the box, Ishikawa Goemon's hands were also crossed into his arms, and he also held more than a dozen shuriken in his hands, as long as this woman made any moves against the lord, he would immediately throw out the shuriken.

The retainers sitting there also clutched the hilt of their swords, staring at the girl's every move without turning their eyes.

Reiko Omiya understood the other party's nervousness very well, so after opening the box, she immediately left her hands and put them on her lap, waiting for Takayama-sama and the retainers sitting there to watch for themselves.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the hand that held the handle of the knife was also a little looser. I saw that the clan stood up and took a few steps forward, and when he saw the contents of the box, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Crossbow!" ”

This woman said that the things in the box can take people's lives within hundreds of meters, it seems that this statement does not need to be false, however, the clan took a closer look, the bow arm of this thing is not made of wood and bamboo, but forged with fine iron, and there is no handle, is this a cross bow?

I saw the clan bend down and hold this thing in his hand, although there is some weight, but there is no sense of heaviness, I saw that this thing is very finely made, the layer of gold that was originally crossed on it has been worn out, and most of the gems inlaid on both sides have fallen off, although this should be a handicraft, but after he took a closer look, he can be sure that this thing is the European Middle Ages, the crossbow used by soldiers.

Although this crossbow does not have an effective range of several hundred meters as this Omiya Reiko said, there is no problem in taking a person's life within 150 meters.

This made the clan very excited, if this crossbow was mass-produced, assembled into the ashigaru team, and equipped with war horses and enough crossbow arrows as rangers, then even the most elite of the Takeda family, Akabei, would not be their opponent.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and his attention was now focused on this crossbow, completely ignoring the beautiful and moving Omiya Reiko who was kneeling in front of him. …,

I saw that the clan sect was holding a cross bow, and took out more than ten crossbow arrows from the wooden box, and while walking quickly outside, he opened his mouth and ordered: "Qinghai Guangxian, you take care of this young lady, and the others will follow me to try this cross bow." ”

After the clan finished speaking, he had already come to the front of Omiya Reiko, and said again: "Miss, this matter is very important, please take a break here for Miss, the clan will come when you go, please bear with me if I neglect it." After speaking, without waiting for Reiko Omiya to answer, she had already walked out of the door.

And Omiya Reiko couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Takayama not only knew the name of this thing, but also took a very fancy to it, what she was most afraid of was that Takayama didn't look down on this thing at all, in this case, she might not have a chance to become his concubine.

Before that, Reiko Omiya had been uneasy, that was because, as a girl, she didn't look at this thing as a weapon, but only treated him as a damaged work of art, her father said yes, but she still didn't believe it, but now, when he saw the way Takayama loved it, he was finally relieved.

And she can't help but feel very admired for the erudition of the Takayama clan, since she was a child, Omiya Reiko has always thought that her father is the best, but now she has to admit that at least Takayama-sama is a little stronger than her father in terms of knowledge.

However, when she saw that Takayama-sama didn't pay much attention to herself, and just let his retainers treat him as a hospitality, but he himself led the other retainers out to try the weapon called the crossbow, she couldn't help but be a little worried, Takayama-sama shouldn't just need the crossbow and not himself.

She has been favored since she was a child, and she has never been treated so coldly, but at that time, her father said that Takayama is a benevolent and righteous person, and he will never swallow this crossbow.

Qing Haiguang Xian sat aside, seeing that the woman was still bowing her head, he felt very worried, he knew in his heart that the purpose of the lord leaving himself was to find out why this woman would come to give such a valuable gift for no reason, and even if it was to give a gift, the other party should also send the samurai of the family to come, and how did this Omiya family do it, it is really abnormal to let a weak woman come, I am afraid there should be something else here.

Omiya Reiko didn't speak, but Qinghai Guangxian couldn't just sit like this, this is the task of the main bus, he has just been transferred to the service for a short time, if he can't even do this little thing, then how can he be reused by the lord in the future.

Thinking of this, I only heard Qinghai Guangxian ask: "Miss is here to send these ten bows, I'm afraid there should be other things." ”

Omiya Reiko couldn't help but blush after hearing this, as a girl, how could she be embarrassed to say the purpose of this directly, if she told her directly, she would definitely be laughed at by others.

But she thought about it, just now Takayama only cared to look at the crossbow, and I don't know if he saw the letter on the top, if he didn't see it, when Takayama came back, she would be even more embarrassed to speak, it was better to give her father's letter to this lord, and ask him to stay and hand it over to Takayama-sama, so that she didn't have to speak.

Thinking about this, I saw Reiko Omiya pick up the letter, and respectfully handed it to Qinghai Guangxian, while whispering: "My lord, this is a letter written by my father to Lord Takayama, and my lord will know it at a glance." ”

Qinghai Guangxian hurriedly opened the envelope, unfolded the letter paper and took a closer look, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, although the letter did not say directly, but Qinghai Guangxian could see from the content of the letter that this woman was the admirer of the lord, and his father was willing to marry this daughter to the lord as a side room, and use this cross bow as a dowry. However, this matter is too important, where does Qinghai Guangxian dare to call the shots, only to hear him speak: "Miss's mind is already known in the next place, but this is a private matter of the lord, I don't dare to call the shots, Miss might as well go to the house to rest first, and then go to the lord immediately to tell the lord?" ”…,

Reiko Omiya is now confused, so what else do you think, how the other party arranges, she can do what she does.

After arranging Omiya Reiko properly, Qinghai Guangxian did not dare to delay, and immediately went out to find the traces of the lord.

At this time, the clan had already brought his retainers to the outside of the city, and saw that the Maeda Toshiya had already hung a bucket of light light on a tree, waiting with the other retainers to see how powerful the cross bow was.

And the clan thought that he didn't have this ability, so he didn't plan to make a fool of himself in front of the retainers, so after the Maeda Toshiya family hung up the target, he handed the cross bow to the Sugiya Zenjubo, who was good at making iron cannons, and handed it over how to use it.

The use of this crossbow is much simpler than that of an iron cannon, and Sugitani Zenjubo has already mastered it after listening to the lord's explanation, but since this is the first time he has used this new weapon, he does not dare to hold it up, he does not go out of a few hundred meters to shoot, but first stops at a distance of fifty steps from the bucket and aims at a distance.

After preparing everything, I saw Sugitani's good house pull the board machine, and with a "poof" sound, the crossbow arrows and the sound of the wind were in the middle of the bucket river.

And the clan and other retainers also walked to the big tree, when the retainers saw that the crossbow arrow not only shot through the armor, but also through the armor nailed into the trunk of the tree more than an inch deep, they couldn't help but gasp, they originally thought that the most powerful weapon in the world was the iron cannon, but now they knew that they were lonely and unheard, although the iron cannon was huge, but it was impossible to nail through the armor and nail into the trunk at a distance of fifty meters, and let alone fifty meters, even thirty meters would be difficult to keep the head.

But this cross bow is not only a powerful mess, but it can also be used without too much training, this family has this thing, what sword master, sword hero, can't block the master of a crossbow arrow at all.

Moreover, the retainers also thought that with the power of the crossbow, I am afraid that within 200 meters, they can easily shoot the enemy, and if they use this object to shoot the enemy's main general when the attack is blocked, then the family will not be invincible from now on? But this is against the spirit of bushido.

Then he can give this thing to Ishikawa Goemon, and if he has a crossbow in his hand, then the safety of the lord can be guaranteed.
